    In the fifth year of Jingde, according to another time and space, the Song Dynasty became the year of Dazhong Xiangfu.  There are several reasons why Zhao Heng is unhappy with the alliance under the city, his illness is getting worse, and the other reason is that this year has been relatively good.  This year has been really good, with almost no major disasters across the country.  Natural disasters and military disasters have always been the most worrying thing for feudal rulers.  In a year without natural disasters or military disasters, the pressure will be greatly reduced.  After more than three years of rest and good times, the Song Dynasty's finances this year were unimaginably rich.  Therefore, when autumn came, Zhao Heng made an exception and issued an edict to waive autumn taxes on Sichuan Fourth Road, Jinghu South Road, Hebei Road, and Shaanxi Road.  Maybe it will be better next year, because after several years of rest, Yunzhong and Youzhou roads can try to levy some slight taxes.  Then the two northern approaches can at least ensure that there is no need to overdraft the national finances.  At this time, Song Jiu's memorial arrived in the capital.  First, he repeatedly explained the reason for sending troops to Goryeo.  Zhao Kuangyi was nominally in charge of the Nanlaifeng plan, and Zhao Heng was nominally in charge of the expedition against Liao. However, no one in the court knew about the battle to destroy Goryeo. Song Jiu mobilized nearly 80,000 troops stationed on Youzhou Road, and tens of thousands  Rural soldiers, some coalition soldiers of various ethnic groups, and a large number of people also requisitioned many ships.  So it must be explained clearly.  Song Jiu then said that there must be appropriate military power at the border, depending on the situation.  If the border generals and officials are not given military power, as the territory is far away, the consequences will be even worse when the court makes a decision.  However, it must be determined based on the situation. For example, the use of troops by Ge Shuhan and Gao Xianzhi, and the use of troops by An Lushan, one is raising troops from the enemy, and the other is real use of troops. The situations are completely different.  In fact, this is still Song Jiu¡¯s neutral argument.  ??It¡¯s like killing people and a gangster comes to harm you. Shouldn¡¯t you resist if you have the ability to resist? Instead, call the police and wait for the police to come, and then let the gangster hurt you before doing so?  Then it is okay to kill someone in self-defense.  But killing for the sake of killing is sinful.  ??To put it simply, it is what people call justice.  But this is difficult. What does it mean to stay centered?  Who can tell clearly?  Therefore, Song Jiu still cannot be called a great politician. He may have done most things right, but he has never left a clear governing idea.  ¡°In reality, Zhao Heng really doesn¡¯t care. As Wang Dan said, the biggest worry is failure.  After all, it is a country and now the most powerful force in the Northeast.  In case of failure, the situation in Northeast China will deteriorate overall. Therefore, Wang Dan said, victory is due to merit, and defeat is due to fault.  But it was a victory.  The matter was over, and everyone was concerned about another thing Then Song Jiu talked about money again.  A lot of manpower and material resources were used for this battle, but after arriving in Goryeo, the Song army began to gain results. Even at the end of the battle, it was mostly Jin Zhiyang who led the Goryeo soldiers to suppress the opposition forces, and the Song army just followed behind.  Then when it came to grabbing property, he was more active than anyone else, causing Jin Zhiyang to take the initiative to urge the Song army to retreat. I don't want the help of your country's army.  This saved a lot of money and silk expenses. However, due to the huge scale of soldiers, horses, manpower and material resources used previously, the subsequent court still had to allocate millions of dollars for rewards and appeasement.  ??No one has any opinions on this article. Only a few million yuan were allocated for this great victory, which is really nothing.  Next, Song Jiu talked about various ideas for the future construction of Northeast China.  Goryeo was destroyed, and Silla was still a mess. Jin Zhiyang wanted to pacify Silla, but it was impossible without a year or two.  If you want to recover, it will take at least five or six years.  On the surface, there are almost no forces in the Northeast that can harm the rule of the Song Dynasty. Could it be the Tatars? That is simply impossible.  When they heard that the Song Dynasty had destroyed the Liao Dynasty, the various tribes in Beizhubu, which had close ties with the Song Dynasty, cheered thunderously.  Or is it Wugu Dilie?  It's impossible, they are still weak under the pressure of Liao State's renewed suppression.  Moreover, the Liao Kingdom also divided them and governed them, which led to constant vendettas between them.  Maybe there will be a hero who can bring these tribes together in the future, but if the Song Dynasty continues to divide, then there won't be that hero who can do it in the next hundred years.  In other words, the Shiwei people in the north were unfriendly to the Song Dynasty, but their population base was too small.  But Song Jiu repeatedly said that the Northeast is full of crises.  If you are not careful, it can even crack again from the inside.  Then he talked about Silla again. When the Tang Dynasty made concessions, it was Silla that encouraged the rebellion of the people within Goguryeo, forcing the Tang Dynasty to retreat step by step. That¡¯s why Song Jiu expelled all the people to Silla. However, Song Jiu concluded that once Xinluo  After Luo was appeased, he must ask the Song Dynasty for the land north of the Datong River.  This is a very insignificant nation, so Song Jiu deliberately divided the boundaries very clearly, even demarcating the boundaries on the sea.  If this happens, the court must not give in. If they give in, they will try to force the Song Dynasty to give in.One step, one hundred steps, one thousand steps The Koreans are a good example.  If so, there will be no point in using troops this year.  We talked about a lot, including education, water conservancy, agriculture, people's livelihood, roads, commerce, mining, mainly ethnic affairs and military, and even policies on how to deal with the desert.  In fact, it was a yardstick for the Song and Jiu Dynasty to govern the Northeast after the Song Dynasty. Although the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, the same sentence is still there: stability in the north will lead to stability in the world, chaos in the north will lead to chaos in the world.  The last thing is immigration.  The slogan of the imperial court is Qi.  However, it is not that easy, because the north is still a tribal system. It depends. If vendettas continue and the living environment is harsh, the tribal system will be more stable, such as the various tribes in the desert, such as the various barbarian tribes in the mountains in the south. However, the tribal system replaces the country.  Governance presents numerous difficulties.  Tribalism sounds nice, but in fact it is just a country.  With the development of the Northeast, naturalization and division, the prestige of each chief in the tribe will gradually decline. This is a good thing. The court must follow the trend to allow this trend to take shape.  But don't rush it.  Immigration, in particular, is very important to the governance of Liaodong. However, conflicts will arise due to the tribal system.  Therefore, the previously relocated immigrants must be placed near various cities to protect the safety of the city. They are the link between the economic and commercial development of the Northeast and the center of governance and city defense.  conflict.  When one day immigrants from Han households become the mainstream and the prestige of the chiefs of various ethnic groups further declines, only then can the Northeast become the true territory of the Song Dynasty.  Song Jiu did not say the time, although this year there was another great harvest in the Northeast and there was another great victory.  However, there was also a bumper harvest in the country, so the number of immigrants was still only two to three thousand households, which was pitifully small.  After finishing the explanation, Song Jiucai talked about the matter that everyone is most concerned about. I am old and I sincerely ask your Majesty to allow me to serve.  "When it's over, brush off your clothes and hide your merit and fame." Wang Dan sighed slightly.  Several ministers raised their heads.  Looking at Wang Dan with shameless eyes, behind this sentence is that Wang Dan also agreed with Song Jiu's appointment.  But can Song Jiu not become an official?  Wang Qinruo said: "Your Majesty, with the merits of Duke Song, you can be crowned the king of the county." He made many small moves behind his back.  "However, Song Jiu has gone down, and there is no need to do it anymore.  These words are spoken from the bottom of my heart.  Song Jiu¡¯s contribution is too great.  It was like a big mountain, weighing down everyone, including Zhao Heng, who was faintly weighed down by Song Jiu's achievements.  When he retreated, many people breathed a sigh of relief.  So why do you have to hate Song Jiu?  ¡­ ¡°Don¡¯t be afraid of spending money. If this thing succeeds, it will be of great significance. If you need money, you can write to me. I will support your money.¡± Song Jiu said.  Dozens of people stood by and listened quietly.  It is medicinal material.  Changbai Mountain produces ginseng and deer antlers, but it is too bitter for ginseng pickers.  Therefore, Song Jiu spent some money and silk since the year before last to set up several experimental sites in the Northeast, trying to artificially grow Zhicao, ginseng and other medicinal materials, and even domesticate sika deer.  Song Jiu¡¯s views on traditional Chinese medicine are very fair and should not be mythical. It still has many flaws.  But we should not ignore it blindly. Traditional Chinese medicine is still very effective for some diseases.  Before the development of Western medicine technology, traditional Chinese medicine was still the mainstream of national medical treatment.  However, at this time, almost all Chinese medicines were collected from the mountains, and there was no cultivation of medicinal materials, so the medicinal materials were very expensive.  If the medicinal materials are expensive, the people will not be able to see a doctor, so all kinds of gods and ghosts are useful.  I couldn't afford the treatment, so I had to ask gods to help me.  Song Jiu organized some people, gave them money and silk, and even hired dozens of students from the academy.  Let them guide the people in planting and domesticating. Once successful, it will not only create another road to wealth, but also allow more people to afford medical treatment.  This time is also long.  The war in Goryeo ended, and Song Jiu inspected various parts of the Northeast for the last time.  But this time he was not in such a hurry. He took Yu Ping and Pan Lian'er with them to wait and see. Quan thought he was traveling all the way, but this might also be his last trip in the Northeast.  Today I came to the foot of Changbai Mountain. There is a medicinal garden here. Song Jiu said this after looking at it.  After reading it, Song Jiu went to the depths of Changbai Village again, visited the people of all ethnic groups, and gradually arrived at Baichi.  "What a beautiful lake." Da Shuang shouted.  It is like a gem.  Song Jiu also felt relieved in his heart. At least this pearl of Changbai Mountain was completely the territory of the Song Dynasty This was also his own credit.  But he didn¡¯t stay long. Autumn was getting deeper and it was estimated that the imperial edict was about to arrive in Youzhou, so Song Jiu returned to Youzhou.  As he expected, it turned out to be Zhang Qixian??Take over.  It also brought an edict to officially divide Youzhou Road into two roads, one is Youzhou Road and the other is Changchun Road, but the capital of the latter is Shenzhou.  Also, although it was divided into two routes, in order to facilitate management, Zhang Qixian still had the military, political and financial power of both routes.  To Song Jiu's surprise, the imperial court transferred Kou Zhun to the Yunzhou area.  Song Jiu burst into laughter after hearing this.  I don¡¯t know if Kou Zhun is happy or depressed in Yunzhou.  However, with Kou Zhun here, Yunzhong Road will continue to develop in the next few years.  It takes ten years to cultivate trees, a hundred years to cultivate people, and a thousand years to cultivate a country. The country cannot be distinguished by the difficulty of that period. As long as we relax, there will be a national crisis.  However, because the two roads are within the territory of the Liao Kingdom, the most difficult part was definitely the previous few years.  "If Kou Zhun and Zhang Qixian stay for another three or four years, then the north will lay a good foundation.  At this point, Song Jiu no longer has any worries.  "Song Gong, I didn't expect you to retreat like this." Zhang Qixian sighed.  Speaking of which, Song Jiu is three years younger than Zhang Qixian.  "Satisfied, at least under my leadership, three countries were destroyed." Zhang Qixian laughed.  He thought Song Jiu was talking about Korea, Jiaozhi and Liao.  Jiaozhi was a little reluctant. Goryeo was indeed destroyed. Now Silla and Goryeo are masters of two surnames.  The Liao Kingdom was even more destroyed.  Actually, Song and Jiu said there were three countries, not including Goryeo and Jiaozhi. One was Xixia and the other might be Jin.  Goryeo and Jiaozhi were not destroyed, but were destroyed. In the eyes of Song Jiu, could they be considered real countries?  At this point, the Song Dynasty can barely be called the real Song Dynasty, or the Song Empire. Its territory has increased from less than three million square kilometers in history to nearly five million square kilometers today. If Jisi District is included, it also exceeds  Ten million square kilometers, there are still many problems, such as the Hexi Corridor, Dali, and Jiaozhi. Especially if Jiaozhi is not destroyed, Vietnam may be formed in the future.  But there is no such thing as perfection in the world.  "After Song Gong retires, what plans will he have in the future." "When I was young in Hezhong, my life was very hard, and I couldn't even marry the young lady I liked, so I longed for wealth. But now that I have reached this point, I have become rich.  This is the peak, people must learn to be content. " Zhang Qixian was a little embarrassed. If he were content, there would be no widows.  "Actually, if I don't retire, I have no ambition. Without ambition, I won't be able to achieve anything in the officialdom. So I plan to retire and take my family around to see and relax. Although I have been to many places over the years,  , but I am under great pressure due to my official position, and I am living a very hard life, not materially, but mentally. Maybe in a few years, I will be a guest teacher in the academy, and no one will gossip.  "There is a premise for this. Most of the senior officials who retired from the Song Dynasty were placed in Luoyang, for fear that they would have influence on the court.  Therefore, Song Jiu said that if he travels everywhere, his influence will decline after a few years. If he does not go to Luoyang and continues to stay in Kaifeng, then he will be fine.  Zhang Qixian said regretfully: "The imperial court plans to open the Sanbai Canal." "I won't interfere with the opening of the Sanbai Canal. I am old and will die one day, so let go of it completely." But in Zhang Qixian's heart,  I doubt that once Song Jiu gave up his rights, the court would not be afraid. However, wouldn't the court rely on Song Jiu's knowledge and experience?  This has another premise. Zhao Heng's suspicion is not as important as Zhao Kuang's, so he often hires people to death, not only civilian officials, but also military generals. This leads to the fact that there are almost no staff members in the Xifu Staff Department because all the important generals are in office.  Besides, Song Jiu.  "So my trip is far away. After you and I hand over, I will go to Guangnan with the sea ship to spend the winter. When spring comes, I will go to Hangzhou. When summer comes, maybe I will bring my family back to Youzhou to be with you.  Come on. Where can your Majesty find me?" "That's okay." "Why not?" A few days later, Song Jiuzhen took his family on board.  Zhang Qixian brought officials to the port to see him off.  Everyone said goodbye one by one, and the captain ordered the sailors to set sail. The huge ship quickly left the port with the northwest wind and became a small black spot in the sky.  At that time, the autumn breeze was blowing coolly, the sky was high and the clouds were clear PS: This book ends here. The next book will not develop the open flow, nor will it open the test flow, it will just tell a YY story, and the time is still this  The time period is a few years earlier, and the protagonist is Chai Rong¡¯s son Chai Zongxun, hahaha.  Xiao Chai Chai PK Zhao Da Zhao Er Zhao Pu.  However, I still need to make an outline and write some manuscripts for the editor to review and approve.
