Guo Cheng performed extremely eye-catchingly in the last time he was in the guard battle of Pingxia City.

He used 20,000 troops to withstand the crazy attack of the 200,000 Xixia army for a full month. Not only did he defend it, but he also caused heavy losses to Xixia.

It can be said that the battle of guarding Pingxia City has already determined the outcome of that battle.

Zhang Yu, Zhang Dun and many officials of the court all had a high reputation for Guo Cheng.

Zhao Xu also liked him very much. This person is calm, knowledgeable and well-organized. He is the most suitable for him to go to the navy.

Guo Cheng went to the Navy, and Zhao Xu and Zhang Feng had a consensus.

Zhang Feng listened and said, "Yes. The Privy Council issued an order. But, are you still preparing to start a war on Chengdu Mansion Road?"

Zhao Xu looked at Zhang Qing with a serious expression and said, "The Qingtang area is more important than the one in Li Xia. The strategic location is very important in terms of products and strategic locations! I will get it back as soon as possible in Qingtang area!"

Compared with the previous unified dynasties, the territory of the Song Dynasty shrank too seriously. Many places in the traditional Central Plains ruling areas were still in the hands of foreign races.

Seeing that Zhao Xu insisted, Zhang Feng said, "I will receive the order."

Zhao Xu was about to speak when a yellow gate appeared outside the gate with a carrier pigeon and said, "Report to the official family, the flying pigeon on Qinfeng Road is passing on the letter."

When Chen Pi saw this, she hurried forward, took off the envelope and handed it to Zhao Xu.

Zhao Xu opened his eyes and couldn't help but be stunned. Then he smiled and handed it to Zhang Qi, saying, "Good news."

Zhang Feng took it over and looked at it, with a strange look on his face and said, "Li Qianshun secretly sent someone to Qinfeng Road and bypassed the Li Xia court?"

Zhao Xu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. He felt more and more comfortable. He smiled and said, "Li Qianshun is not stupid either. I am afraid that the Liao people will give him a sigh first."

Zhang Qi looked at this simple note and wrote more than 20 words, saying, "The official family, Li Qianshun took the initiative to submit tribute. It seems that Li Xia does not need to put any pressure on him, and it will be calm for a while."

Zhao Xu had a relaxed expression on his face and said, "Since Li Qianshun wants to offer sacrifices, it means he really doesn't have the courage to provoke me, the Song Dynasty, at least for a short time. There is no need to worry about anything in Tubo; there is no need for Dali, let alone our energy can be concentrated on implementing the "Shaosheng New Policy."

Zhang Feng pondered for a while and bowed and said, "The official family, Nandaying is still in preparation. The noise caused by Jiangnan West Road is too great, so I may have some unexpected variables."

The variables Zhang Feng mentioned actually refer to "civilian chaos".

The Song Dynasty seemed rich, but in fact it was an extreme gap between the rich and the poor, and it almost hit the extreme of the people.

Zhao Xu looked out the door and said, "Except for Jiangnan West Road, the 'new policies' of other routes are slowly implemented. I can understand and tolerate them. If they can implement tax and tax cuts, the people will definitely breathe a sigh of relief. What chaos will happen?"

Zhang Feng didn't say anything.

The Song Dynasty had too many chronic diseases, and it was not that the court's policies were good, so the people could make profits. It would be thankful for the court's tax cuts to be reduced by one hundred percent. As for the tax cuts, I am afraid that the 1000 yuan was not implemented. The ultimate profit was still those officials from all over the country.

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of one day or another. Qing family, please inform us of these two things and come up with a solution to these two things. Li Xia, the Liao Kingdom should be able to be peaceful for a while. The peace in Tubo must be fought. Dali's affairs are done casually, and there is no big difficulty. These two things will be resolved this year. Foreign troubles will be lifted. With this peace time, we can implement the "new policy" wholeheartedly."

"I received the order."

Zhang Yu stood up, raised his hand, and then left.

Zhao Xu watched him walk out, and felt more and more relieved, and smiled with Chen Pi, saying, "If these two things are resolved, I can easily leave Beijing."

Tangerine bent slightly and didn't say anything.

Zhao Xu was happy, looked at the bright sunshine outside the door, stood up and said, "Let's go out of the palace and have a walk."

Chen Pi followed Zhao Xu and said, "Official family, where are you going?"

Zhao Xu thought while walking, and said, "It's too late to go to the Gongyuan. Don't worry about the Royal Piao number for the time being. I heard that there is a garden party? Let's go and have a look."

Chen Pi was slightly shocked and hurriedly said, "The official family, that... is all a place of fireworks."

The so-called "garden party" cannot be a group of scholars who only talk about poetry and essays and criticize current problems. Naturally, they must be accompanied by beautiful women. Whoever gets involved in these things in good families is naturally a brothel lady and a famous prostitute to highlight their identity.

This is a bit different from what Zhao Xu thought.

If a group of big men were provoking famous prostitutes with erotic words and foul words, they would feel uncomfortable no matter how they looked, how could they join in and find out what they thought?

Zhao Xu stood under the eaves, thought about it, and said, "Go to the military weapon supervision and take a walk."

Military weapon supervisor is under the Ministry of War, and is responsible for the research and development and manufacturing of weapons.

Zhao Xu has a special liking for fire weapons. He has been giving military weapons supervision resources and increasing pressure. He hopes to produce cutting-edge weapons that are in line with the current technology and can lead the world.

Tangerine responded and quickly arranged someone.

When Zhao Xu left the palace, the heads of the Privy Council, the Ministry of War and the Political Affairs Hall were having a meeting.

The theme of the meeting was the strategic transfer of the Song Dynasty.

The Liao Kingdom has no need to worry for the time being, and its main energy will be focused on Jiangnan.

Zhang Dun, Zhang Shi, Cai Bian, Xu Jiang, Lin Xi, Li Qingchen, and naturally, Wen Yanbo was also there.

The crowd was discussing that it was not a matter of decision-making on all aspects such as military, finance, manpower and material resources.

At this time, there is no one-man show, and you say everything, you are both slow and slow, telling your own opinions.

Zhang Dun listened a lot but spoke less. The main thing he spoke was Zhang Feng and Cai Bian.

The strategy of moving south is something the court has been doing, but now it is finally certain that the north can temporarily obtain peace for a period of time, and they can transfer their energy with confidence.

Pei Yin sat not far away, quietly recording.

He didn't speak, he kept writing, and was thinking at the same time.

Many things have been determined from the conversations between these big names.

The northern armies will gradually retreat. Except for some of them being reserved for surveillance, most of them will return to their garrisons to carry out in-depth "military reform" and strengthen training.

Zhe Keshi, Zhong Jianzhong and others will return to Beijing to report and accept the next arrangements.

These actions will save a considerable amount of money and grain, and this money and grain will be transferred to the navy.

‘Guo Cheng goes to the navy?’ Pei Yin seems to be thinking.

The court has not taken the navy very much in mind, and it has always been the government pushing it. Now Guo Cheng, the highly valued coach, has just joined the navy, which shows that the navy is about to develop further.

‘Integrate taxes and establish a separate tax yamen…’

Pei Yin thought to himself, he had always known this matter, and he didn't expect it to be put on the agenda so quickly.
