The scene Zhao Huan saw made him cry.

There were a lot of waste in the Song Dynasty, but there were also many passionate people. At least the students who appeared in front of him now were all civil officials and students who warmed up Zhao Huan's hearts.

"Meet the official family." Zhao Ding, Chen Dong and Ouyang Che walked into the Wende Hall in Yanjing, and quickly saluted. With the help of Shen Cong, he took off the straw raincoat on his body.

Zhao Huan waved his hand, and Zhao Ying and the eunuchs quickly moved out three stools and sat down for Zhao Ding, Chen Dong and Ouyang Che.

This Zhao Ying is really getting more and more eye-catching.

"Good to take a break." Zhao Huan nodded with satisfaction.

These three people organized more than 100 ministers and students in the court and Tai Academy and came to Yanjing.

"Very good!" Zhao Huan patted Zhao Ding hard and said.

"The ambition of the minister!" Zhao Ding bowed his body and said with a smile, "The king and the ministers use courtesy, and the ministers serve the king with loyalty. If the king treats the ministers as dogs and horses, then the ministers regard the king as their countrymen. If the king treats the ministers as their hands and feet, then the ministers regard the king as their hearts."

Zhao Huan laughed loudly, and there was another sentence after this sentence: If the king treats his ministers as earth, then the minister treats the king as enemies.

This is the reason why Mencius was not very popular with the emperor. He had a lot of words that made those in power very uncomfortable, but Zhao Huan did not care about the subtext in Zhao Ding's words.

The Central Plains Dynasty has a very strange fate that cannot be escaped.

The more capable the emperor is, the greater the imperial power will be, and the greater the imperial power, the more fear the ministers will be, so that no one dares to speak out clearly.

There are Li Gang, Yuwen Xuzhong and Zhao Dingken saying contradictory words to him, which is a good thing.

Zhao Huan laughed and said, "I will give you Zhao Ding, the Hejian army has 20,000 people, and the commander Liu Jing will accompany you."

"Go to Zhenzhou (now Gukedun City, northeast of Hadasang, the upper reaches of Orhun River in Mongolia), and string control Zhaozhou, Victoria, and Fangzhou."

"The Muxi North Road is located in the Sizhou Prefecture, with a total of nine people from Damili tribes, Yelu tribes, Dadan tribes and other people."

"Ouyang Che, you will take 30,000 Yongding troops and 30,000 Hejian troops, and the commander Fu Xuan will accompany you."

"Go to Jingbiancheng (near Manzhouli City, Inner Mongolia), Hedongcheng, and Tatar people may go south at any time. Remember to be careful, they are very powerful."

"There are about twenty Khitans there, but they are all old and weak. You need to be responsible for persuading the pastoral. The entire Wugu enemy and lie commander are all within your jurisdiction."

After Zhao Huan finished speaking, he took a sip of water and said so much in one breath, it would be strange if he was not thirsty.

In fact, on the vast grassland, the Khitans mainly concentrated in these two places.

Zhao Huan, the most important Zhenzhou, sent Zhao Ding.

Because the Khitans' Yelu royal family were all there, and if they did not completely naturalize their place, they would have no other ideas.

Ouyang Che has to stay in Jingbian Town, which is a transit station.

If we can gain a foothold here, Wang Yan's detour to attack the black soil area behind enemy lines will no longer be alone.

"What about the minister? The official family..." Chen Dong asked anxiously when he saw that he had no appointment.

Zhao Huan smiled and said, "How could it be that there is no business for you? You have to go to Qinghe City. It is close to the Western Regions. The real land is vast and the people are deserted, and even the Khitans are not very willing to go."

"But there is an ancient commercial road from Qinghe City to the Western Regions. Opening up this road, buying horses from the Western Regions is the top priority."

"I give you five thousand people. Remember if you are attacked by Yelu Dashi, you will evacuate Qinghe City. It will be a small earthen castle. Yelu Dashi has elite soldiers, so don't fight him."

"Do you open up the trade route?" Chen Dong's expression was eager to try. Although he didn't know where Qinghe City was, it should be possible to have Khitans as guides.

"How much does the official family pay me?" Chen Dong suddenly thought of something and asked blankly.

Zhao Huan smiled and said, "Give you a mountain of gold!"

Kingsoft?

A bad premonition arose in Chen Dong's heart, and he had to go to ancient books to read the records of this mountain of gold.

"You are mainly a warning function to prevent Yelu Dashi from leading the Jin soldiers' Tielin Army from returning from the Western Regions to the west of Jinshan."

"When you are fine, hire local Khitans to mine gold mountains, transport the gold mines from the gold mine back to Zhenzhou for refining, and then exchange them for good horses and Western specialties to Zhenzhou." Zhao Huan and Chen Dong explained the task in detail.

Zhao Ding was in the middle, and led 20,000 Hejian troops to assist Chen Dong's Qinghe City and control the entire Khitan headquarters at any time.

Ouyang Che went to the northeast part of Shangjing Road to be responsible for responding to Wang Yan's Eight-Character Army and Persuading the Mu.

Chen Dong is the warning of the entire northwest part of Shangjing, and gold mining and trade routes are secondary.

"Where is Qinghe City?" Chen Dong asked blankly.

"This is 9,900 miles west, not far away." Zhao Huan said with a smile.

Chen Dong's mouth twitched for a moment, and went west 9,900 miles...

Zhao Ding smiled and patted Chen Dong. The government was not a person who only allowed to work.

There will definitely be Chen Dong's benefits.

He smiled and said, "The official family, I think the Chen family in Huaibei can accompany you to business."

"Marriors are profit-seeking, but they can be fully spread throughout Shangjing Road. And I heard that Chen Jiaxin has recently obtained a kind of wool material called wool. It is made of wool. I think the Chen family should be happy to accompany them together."

"Oh? The Chen family's wool has been made of wool. Can it be used as clothing?" Zhao Huan asked in surprise.

Chen Chong and Chen Fu did not say this when they came last time.

"It was the manager of the Chen family in Bianjing who found me and told me that I was willing to pay three million yuan to buy the entire wool purchase license for Shangjing Road." Zhao Ding explained.

Zhao Huan frowned and asked, "Is it a monopoly?"

Zhao Ding shook his head and said, "No, it's permission. The Chen family's appetite is not that big."

"According to the laws of the Song Dynasty, we are not allowed to go back to the Khitans without permission. Naturally, we want to buy a license to do wool business."

"And the Chen family seems to be very interested in the Khitan livestock. The sea salt of the Song Dynasty is very valuable among the Khitans."

Zhao Huan thought for a while and said, "Salt and iron are the only ones. I will ask the Ministry of Commerce to follow up on the salt and let the Chen family get involved in the middle."

"Then the matter of the Chen family's pupai and the Khitans' return to Yi." Zhao Ding asked.

The merchants accompanying him was the most suitable way that Zhao Ding had ever thought of. Merchants were pursuing profits, and they would also act as a surveillance and could also hear the news.

If the Chen family makes a profit, Jiangnan giant merchants will follow up.

Zhao Ding believed that the merchants of the Song Dynasty would turn the Khitans into what the Song Dynasty wanted.

Zhao Huan did not hesitate much and said, "Let him negotiate with Li Gongzheng of the Ministry of Commerce and ask the Ministry of Commerce to issue a letter to see what should be done."

Zhao Ding gave Zhao Huan an excellent idea.

The merchants would suck the last drop of blood of the Khitans and let them sing and dance honestly.

Zhao Ding thought for a while and said, "I also want to hire a group of lower-rank documents and auditors in Yanjing, and may also need some retired military soldiers to help me do things in Zhenzhou."

"I think Shangjing Road is definitely a treasure house, not as the court officials discussed, there is nothing but territory."

Zhao Huan agreed with Zhao Ding's opinion. Yingjili had a trick of eating people for the wool.

Such a large grassland is a little empty, but how could Zhao Huan believe it if he has no oil or water?

He nodded and said, "This is OK, it's worth it."

"When I arrived in Zhenzhou, I remember that sentence, and I won over a large number of people and attacked a small number of people."

"The Khitans who are still on the road to Shangjing are not making any big troubles. But remember that they are still Khitans now, don't compare with the people in the Song Dynasty. They have not yet naturalized. Don't be ruthless when it's time to start. I'll let the soldiers accompany you, do you understand?"

Zhao Ding, Chen Dong and Ouyang Che bowed their heads and said, "I understand. I will still do it when I promote education."

"When are you planning to leave?" Zhao Huan asked.

Zhao Ding looked around and said, "I am going to leave a few people responsible for hiring. The others will go to Datong Prefecture tomorrow and lead troops to Zhenzhou and other places."

Zhao Huan was silent for a while and said, "Thank you all for your hard work."
