Zhao Ning asked: "What is Zhe Yanzhi doing now?"

"In the first year of Jingkang's reign, Zhe Yanzhi was defeated in the defense of Pingyang Mansion. He was demoted to the northwest by Zhang Jun and Prime Minister Zhang. He is currently the training envoy of the Huangzhou regiment."

Zhao Ning glanced at Qin Hui, and Qin Hui nodded quickly to avoid it.

Zhao Ning did not ask why Qin Hui knew so much, but simply said: "Xuan Zheyan returned to the capital as a hostage, and I want to see him."

The waiter on the side said quickly: "Yes."

"Zhang Jun also announced his return."

Zhao Ning returned to the palace all the way, thinking in his mind that since the armistice between Song and Jin was a foregone conclusion, it was time to start planning to kill Xixia.

Zhe Yanzhi could be regarded as a genius with both civil and military skills, but it was a pity that the Fugu Zhe family surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, and Zhe Yanzhi was defeated while defending the Yellow River in the first year of Jingkang. He was demoted due to the double blow of politics and public opinion. "

Zhang Jun demoted him, it should be that he was demoted openly and protected secretly.

Huangzhou is an extremely special place. It is located in the south of the Hexi Corridor, in the Tibetan area of ​​Xiejie. It is a place where Tubo, Uighur, Han and Dangxiang people live together.

The Song Dynasty established the Longyou Protectorate there. This can be traced back to the time of Wang Anshi's political reform. In order to demonstrate the power of the new law, the New Deal faction determined to seize the northwest. Wang Anshi's general Wang Shaoxi opened the border.

The Battle of Xihe extended the border for more than 2,000 miles!

That might be the last glory of the Song Dynasty.

Where Zheyanzhi was brought, it was most likely that Zhang Jun asked him to buy a war horse.

The issue of war horses is now part of the highest military strategy of the Song Dynasty.

The Kingdom of Jin had a reserve of hundreds of thousands of war horses, while the current total number of war horses in the Song Dynasty was less than 50,000, including the horses captured by Yue Fei in the third Song-Jin War.

The Song Dynasty can still only defend passively.

Just like when the Han Dynasty faced the Xiongnu at the beginning of its establishment, it could only be beaten passively.

It was not until the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the war horse reserve reached its peak, with a reserve of 400,000 horses in the state-owned animal husbandry garden alone.

In addition, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty allowed Sang Hongyang and others to expand the treasury and launched a counterattack against the Xiongnu.

For Zhao Ning now, the battle against the Kingdom of Jin can only be endured.

When they returned to the palace, Li Ruoshui came over and said, "Your Majesty, the Golden Envoy is here again and wants to see Your Majesty."

"Let him wait a moment."

"yes."

At this time, Zhao Gou was already waiting outside the palace.

"Guanjia Sheng'an."

Zhao Ning changed his clothes, and the people below prepared some pastries.

"Brother Jiu is doing well these days."

"Excuse me, I'd like to send my condolences to you. Everything is fine."

"I heard that you had a very pleasant conversation with Mr. Chen?"

"We are all discussing some farming matters. Mr. Chen is a great talent. I occasionally go to ask for advice."

Zhao Ning suddenly became serious: "Then, I'm afraid you won't be able to discuss with Mr. Chen often anymore."

Zhao Gou was startled when he saw Zhao Guan's sudden behavior. He quickly stood up and said, "Guan, I don't know what I did wrong. Please punish me."

Zhao Ning looked at Zhao Gou for a long time, stood up, walked over, grabbed his hand, and laughed: "You are not wrong! I just want to trouble you to do something for me. !”

"Come, come!"

Zhao Ning led Zhao Gou to the map. He pointed to Jingdong West Road and Jingdong East Road on the map and said, "Look here, there are 50 million acres of fertile land, no! There's more!"

"But in the past few years, due to the war, people's livelihood has declined and the fields have become barren."

He then pointed to the Cangzhou area and said: "Li Gang stationed troops here. To the south is the land of Qilu, where the wealth of Masang can be seen in the world. Further south, Xuzhou is the center of the two Huaihe Rivers, and the two Huaihe Rivers are also the territory of the country. The source of royal taxes."

"I spent tens of millions of dollars on the Eastern Front. Why? To protect the Huaihe River and Jiangnan Province!"

"As the barrier between the two Huaihe Rivers and the hinterland of the eastern route, Jingdong Road and Jingdong Road are the top priority. I need someone to go to Jingdong East Road and Jingdong West Road to settle people's livelihood and implement Mr. Chen's agricultural science."

Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and looked into Zhao Ning's eyes that were as clear and bright as morning spring water.

To be honest, Zhao Gou still admires this Zhao Guan family in his heart.

The young Zhao Gou was simple by nature and an idealist.

It's just that Zhao Gou in history took on a task he couldn't afford, and gradually became distorted under layers of pressure.

This is actually normal for most people.

When people are in school, they talk and think about the future.

As long as you leave school and have been in society for a few years, you will know that reality is cold.

When a man is in the ivory tower, he is a completely different person than when he goes to the jungle and fights for two years.

What Zhao Gou saw in Zhao Ning was enthusiasm and ideals, ambition and ambition.

He is like an iron man who can never be defeated. Under his normal appearance, he has a will of steel.

The iron hooves of the Jin Kingdom headed south many times like flash floods and tsunamis, but they were all blocked by his concentrated will.

Regardless of the internal landslides and storms, he worked tirelessly to eliminate the old and innovate.

"Does the official want me to go to Jingdong East Road and Jingdong East Road?"

"That's right, I really want you to go. You can serve as the agricultural envoy of these two roads and recuperate with the people."

"I am afraid that I have few talents and little knowledge..."

Although he refused on the surface, Zhao Gou was so happy that he almost jumped up on the spot.

After being idle at home for so long, I finally got through it.

"You can do it. Haven't you had a lot of exchanges with Mr. Chen? No one is more suitable than you. Don't worry, I will arrange good manpower for you. There are a large number of students from the University of Tokyo waiting to be town supervisors. The latest editor of the Department of Agricultural Affairs

"On the New Agricultural Policies of the Song Dynasty" and "Agricultural Book Guan Tian Pian" written by Chen Min can be used by you."

Zhao Ning looked sincere: "Brother Ninth, you are one of the few people I can trust."

Zhao Gou said quickly: "Don't worry, officials, I will do my best to push back the agricultural affairs of Jingdong and Donglu!"

Interest is the best teacher. Since Zhao Gou likes farming so much, let him go.

Let him explore the road, and when the talent allocation of Jingdong and Dongdao can catch up, he will introduce new policies!

After leaving Zhao Gou to finish his lunch and take a short rest, Zhao Ningcai met the Jin envoy Xilin Helu and others in Chui Gong Hall.

The ministers on both sides saw that the envoy Jin did not salute. Li Ruoshui stepped out and said: "Why didn't the envoy Jin salute when he saw His Majesty the Emperor?"

Xilin Helu said: "On behalf of His Majesty the Great Jin Emperor, I come here for peace talks. We are talking on equal terms."

What he means is: Your Majesty the Emperor and I are equal.

Zhao Ning stood up and swung his sleeves: "What's the point of talking about it? Let's stop talking! Let's continue the fight and let Wanyan Wu beg for how long the fight lasts!"

As soon as Zhao Ning said these words, Xilin Helu immediately knelt down and said: "My envoy is here to see His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty."

Li Ruoshui quickly came out to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, let's listen to what the envoy Jin has to say."

Zhao Ning couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. This golden envoy is really cheap! Do you want me to get angry?
