.    Yan Yunhua¡¯s departure.  It did not stir up any waves in the Song Dynasty.  Not really.  This woman once posed such a huge threat to the Song Dynasty.

    And all this.  As the warships set sail and left the port, they fell silent forever.  I don¡¯t know why Wanyan Yunhua insisted on going to Liuqiu.  Maybe in her eyes.  These tribesmen are already her hope for survival.  Anyway.  The departure of the Wanyan clan.  It means that the Jin Kingdom has withdrawn from this historical process.  Maybe when Wanyan Shouxu lit the fire.  The Kingdom of Jin has completely withdrawn.

    Maybe Wanyan Yunhua has thought about it.  He believes that through his own efforts, the Wanyan clan can make a comeback in the future.  But in front of me.  This fantasy was shattered.  I don't know if the rise of the Jurchens in later generations has anything to do with the Wanyan clan, but since I came to this era.  The Jurchens' chances were completely stifled.  Now Shi Tianze has penetrated the tentacles of the Song Dynasty into the white mountains and black waters.  As time goes by.  The migration and settlement of Han people.  northeast.  This vast and fertile black land.  will eventually become an integral part of the empire

    As for those who are still in the wild mountains and forests.  A true tribe of women who drink blood and drink their hair.  Also under my special instruction, either by force or materials.  Or they may be driven away from the mountains and forests by transformation.  Entered the rule of the Song Dynasty.  Not long.  These people will also become an integral part of the Song Dynasty.

    It¡¯s just that this task has a long way to go.  It requires the efforts of several generations.  But I firmly believe it.  As long as it's in the right direction.  If you persist, you will win.

    ¡°Using a minority to rule the majority is an absolute disaster for the country and the nation.  I believe this country can only be led by the Han people.  Only then can we truly achieve glory.  This is not Han chauvinism.  It is determined by the country¡¯s stable foundation.

    this.  I am convinced!

    At the end of the day, a battleship sailed.  I walked down from the tower overlooking the port and declined Zi Xuan's offer to return to the palace immediately.  Instead, I changed into regular clothes and wandered around Jian Street.

    This is not the first time I behave like this.  twice.  Yi Zixuan and the others are also very experienced.  Basically, I won¡¯t see a large group of people following me, which would be a disappointing sight.

    The bustling streets of Jiankang.  When I left the palace for the first time, there were quite a lot of people coming and going.  Outlandish costumes.  Various dialects and foreign languages ????from other places can be seen everywhere.  Constantly in the ears.  It made me extremely happy to see it.

    When I reached a turning road, a hurried figure suddenly appeared from the clothing store next to me and bumped into me.

    The appearance of this figure is extremely clever.  The position was just right, and the few invisible guards had no time to stop him.  Made him bump into me.

    Zi, who was dressed in men's clothing, frowned and didn't show any signs of it.  The direction in which the individual hit suddenly changed.  I dived into the small stall of the candy seller on the roadside.  Suddenly people fell over.  Caused a commotion.

    I glanced at this reckless man.  I found that he was handsome and handsome.  Extraordinarily handsome.  Especially the aroma of books.  It's so intense that even if it's so embarrassing, it's going to come out.  He didn't look too annoyed.  It seems that he is very well-educated.  I couldn't help but feel a little good about it.

    It seems that he is also a good scholar!

    He stopped several guards who wanted to cause trouble for him with his eyes.  smiled.  Just when he was about to leave.  Zi Xuan suddenly whispered: "He bumped into me on purpose!"

    I stopped.  He looked at the other person again.  But I found that the other party was also looking at me.  See me and look over.  And he smiled at me.  He said loudly: "This young master is in Xingzhou, Liu Kan. I bumped into the young master carelessly today. I'm really sorry!"

    Northern scholars.  I glanced at him a few times.  Send OK.  Such a strong bookish atmosphere.  Said he was not well-read.  That is an insult to oneself.

    "That's right. Da Jiankang is just down there. Just about to Oops. What are you doing!" This self-proclaimed person has not finished speaking.  But he accidentally got pulled by the candy vendor.  Almost didn't fall.  Turn around and confront the hawker

    "Are you so unreasonable? It's obvious that you knocked over the stall. What are you asking me to do? Tell you. This Jiankang is a place with royal laws. Even if you are a scholar, you can't mess around. If you don't compensate me now  Stall money. I'll go to the Yamen and sue you. Pay the money quickly!" The vendor pulled him confidently.  He also extended a hand to ask for money.

    This Liu Kan looked embarrassed.  But he turned his attention to me for help.  smiled.  I asked Zi to pay the money to the vendor.  Then he said to him: "It seems that Mr. Liu is also a scholar. He is also from the north. I happen to be very interested in the current situation in the north. Why don't we sit down somewhere and have a chat?"

    "Exactly. Exactly!" Liu Kan nodded repeatedly.  "I met the young master by chance on the street today. It is really the fate that Liu Kan has cultivated for three lifetimes. If he does not have a heart-to-heart talk with the young master, Liu Kan will probably be in vain for the Buddha's guidance in the dark."

    oh.  There is a hidden meaning in these words.  Did he see something?

    Glanced at him.  I didn't say anything.  Turn around and walk into a teahouse not far away.

      A very ordinary small teahouse.  It is estimated that some civilians with a little money came to sit down.  There are not many guests at the moment.  There was only one fallen scribe drinking and enjoying himself there.

    When he saw a group of us entering the teahouse, the waiter quickly came over to say hello.  And name a bunch of tea and pastries.  Please order us.

    ?Think about it.  I'd still like a regular pot of green tea.  and several folk pastries.  As for everyone else.  I waved my hand.  Make them happy.  This action fell into Liu Kan's eyes.  But it made him smile.  But nothing was said.

    After taking a seat.  I looked at each other.  First he spoke: "You are from the north. Do you know what the situation in the north is like now?"

    Liu Kan opened his mouth and came: Since Master Wang destroyed the gold last year.  All the people in the north rejoiced.  Believing that the world will soon be peaceful.  Especially after hearing that His Majesty intends to implement many policies to benefit the people in the north.  Even more eagerly awaited.  If there is a drought, I want nectar.  An earnest heart.  Only heaven and earth can learn from it!  "

    Protect?  "I almost slipped my words and quickly changed my words. I asked the question I was most concerned about.

    Liu Kan didn¡¯t seem to notice the inappropriateness of my words and instead thought about it for a moment with slight hesitation.  Cai said resolutely: "As for ordinary people, as long as they know the measures of the Song Dynasty and understand the benefits it can bring to them, of course they will strongly support it. Only the north does not have long-term wars than other places. These people can only rely on the powerful landlords.  They live and the Song Dynasty's reform of the north will definitely touch their interests and incur their opposition."

    Speaking of which.  He glanced at me secretly and saw that I had no expression on my face.  Then he continued: "The imperial court probably anticipated such a situation and stationed heavy troops in the north as a deterrent. In my opinion, if it is forcibly coerced by military force, it will definitely make the powerful northerners succumb. But this way, there will be many consequences.

    What's more, these powerful people are not all those who are afraid of the world being unstable. Many people are attacking the Song Dynasty.

    Losing ground is also a welcome gesture.  It's just that they have worked so hard to protect their family property in the war, if they lose it like this.  I must be unwilling to let the court give up its rapid progress.  Slowly push | policies that benefit the people.  They may not accept it.  "

    "Really?" I was hesitant.  Just then the waiter brought tea and cakes.  I poured myself a glass.  Then hand the teapot to the other person.  Indicated to him for his own use.

    Liu Kan¡¯s expression remained as usual.  Pour yourself a glass too.  He took a sip without any objection.  He smiled and said, "Although it is coarse tea, it has a different taste."

    I smiled.  But he didn¡¯t drink.  Put down the tea.  Then keep an eye on him.  He asked coldly: "Do you know who I am?"

    Liu Kan¡¯s expression finally changed.  Was about to speak.  But I stopped him: "Nod or shake your head!"

    The other party is also a smart person.  Nod quietly.  But he didn't say anything.

    I withdrew my gaze.  It started when Zi Xuan told me that he bumped into me on purpose.  I doubt this.  I just listened to his remarks.  He is even more certain of his guess.  Although I don¡¯t know how he guessed my identity.  But this vision and insight.  It is enough to prove that this person is not a mortal.

    Recognize me.  Prove that he is powerful.  You can come up with this way to get close to me.  It proves that he is clever and dares to take risks.  These two points.  In addition, he talked about astronomy without saying anything. How should the imperial decree be implemented in the north?  "

    "This is easy!" He took a careful look.  Although a little restrained.  But he didn't show it too much.  "It is difficult to implement the law. The first is the powerful people in various places. These people have many weapons and armor in their hands. We must not blindly implement the law through civil rule. We should put education first, force second, and official rule second. Let them understand the general trend. The master.  Give up some undue benefits. At the same time, the court should also retain some of the other side's corresponding benefits. If there are really people who can protect the environment and the people and have great popular support, the court would best win over them with official positions to achieve miraculous effects. If this method is implemented, no  After five years of rule in the north, I am impressed by him now. His policies are extremely simple. In layman's terms, let the common people know the laws: Let those who oppose the army know how terrible the army is. Then the government's rule can smoothly deepen.  Gain the support of the people.

    This is almost a necessary means for the success of reforms in the past dynasties. This person can have such insight.  Di is indeed a talent.

    "Listen to what you said. The situation in the north suddenly became clear. I just don't know the situation in the world. How much can you explain?" I became curious about him and wanted to see what his knowledge was.

    Liu Kan thought for a while.  Then he said: "It's said to be the world. In fact, as far as today is concerned, it's just a confrontation between the Song Dynasty and Mongolia." He paused.  Continued.  "When it comes to conflicts between countries, one is more intelligent and wiser than the imperial court. The other is more intelligent and courageous than the army officers. They are not talented. In the past, he served as the governor of Xingtai Jiedu Prefecture under the rule of the Jin Dynasty. He can be considered to have seen people in the government. He also wreaked havoc in Mongolia.  At that time. Organize the villagers to protect their hometown. I have also seen the Mongolian front. I have also traveled in the Song Dynasty recently. I have also seen the officials and troops of the Song Dynasty. For example, the abilities of the officials of the Song Dynasty are compared to those of the Jin Dynasty in the past.  The country is much stronger. As for Mongolia, it cannot be compared with the Song Dynasty. In terms of the Qing Ming Dynasty and the ability of the imperial court.?Far better than Mongolia.

    As for the army.  The Song Dynasty was able to defeat Mongolia many times.  Mongolia did not dare to go south easily.  The wisdom and bravery of his officers are self-evident.  But as far as I can see.  It was more than enough for the Song Dynasty to maintain its success.  But let¡¯s talk about the annihilation of Mongolia.  Once and for all.  I'm afraid I can't.  So Kan thinks.  Today, the general trend of the world should be the limited attack of the Song Dynasty.  Mongolia is the main source of constant harassment.  The Song Dynasty should not have any intention to solve the Mongols but should use cannibalization.  Continuously to the west.  North.  and advancing into the Mongolian grasslands from three directions from the northeast.  Follow the policies of Qin and Tang Dynasties.  Use offense to promote defense.  This method of guarding and attacking step by step cannot completely solve the Mongolian border troubles.  I heard that the western part of Mongolia is vast and boundless.  The land ruled by Mongolia was in the Central Plains.  So I thought.  The dispute between Song Dynasty and Meng Dynasty.  It will last for years.  The Song Dynasty should select good generals and talents to enrich the borders to protect and consolidate the achievements.  You must not be aggressive when expanding your territory at the right time.  Otherwise, there may be a big disaster!  "

    Strong defense.  Limited expansion is the established military strategy formulated by the military to deal with Mongolia.  And this person only made some appearances.  It¡¯s really hard to tell the truth!  This guy is definitely a great talent.  The talent of a prime minister who can rule the country may be inferior to that of Yelu Cai.  Maybe it's just his share that's missing.

    The most difficult part of attacking Mongolia is Wancai.  Yi Caiyun can fight against the enemy.  I can only retreat sadly.  If we really want to attack with a large army.  Just for military expenses.  It is enough to drag down the national power.  Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's Northern Expedition to the Xiongnu was indeed a grand one.  But his approach could not fundamentally eliminate the Xiongnu threat to the Central Plains.  On the contrary, it greatly weakened its own strength.  Even I follow his example.  Mongolia will be exterminated, but new alien races will be born on the grasslands.  It will still bring disaster to future generations.  Countless histories have proven this reincarnation.

    The best way to solve this problem is to swallow the meat you eat and digest it in your stomach.  Go eat another piece of meat.  Just like what we are doing now in the Northeast, we do not continue to go deeper but adopt lateral control.  Firmly control the dungeon that has been acquired to lay the foundation for the next attack.  Only in this way.  Only then can we guarantee to attack one place.  The force of the rule.  Occupy a piece of land.  It's one point stronger.

    The war between countries.  The number of enemies destroyed is not worth bragging about.  How much benefit can be obtained.  That's the most fundamental thing.

    If it¡¯s profit revenue and expenditure.  Not to offset the offensive consumption.  Then this kind of attack cannot last long.  Even fatal.

    The death of Qiang Qin.  That's it!

    Think of these.  I am extremely satisfied with the northerner named Liu Kan in front of me.  Think about it.  Just ask Zi to find pen and paper.  I wrote a recommendation in a hurry.  Then stamp it with your personal seal.  Then he sealed it with fire paint and handed it to Liu Kan: You are very good.  Take this letter to find Deputy Prime Minister Mei, who has just returned from the north.  Believe that you will get where you want.  "

    Liu Kan bowed his head and took it with excitement.  He said excitedly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    I didn¡¯t correct what he said.  Ask Zi Xuan to arrange two guards for him.  Send him to Queen Mei.  Just about to leave.  Suddenly I heard a very familiar passage:

    "Ask what love is in the world. Directly teach the promise of life and death.

    Flying passengers from all over the world.  The old wings experienced cold and heat several times.  Have fun.  Parting is painful.  There are even more idiotic children among them.  You should have something to say.  Thousands of miles of clouds.  Thousands of mountains are covered with snow at dusk.  Only the shadow goes to whom.  "

    I turned back suddenly.  But he saw the down-and-out scribe who had been in the store.  Suddenly he burst out laughing wildly.  While laughing.  He also shouted poems:

    "Crossing the road. Loneliness was when the drums were beating. The desolate smoke was old and peaceful. How could the Chu that summons the souls be reached? Mountain ghosts secretly cry in the wind and rain. The sky is also jealous. The unbelievers and the swallows are all in the loess. For eternity. To be reserved for poets. Sing and drink wildly. Come to visit.  At Yanqiu. Singing and drinking wildly. Visiting Yanqiu

    "Ha" After roaring, there was another burst of laughter. Then he turned around and looked at me.

    ? One look at this person¡¯s appearance.  If I realize something, I haven¡¯t spoken yet.  Liu Kan, who was about to leave, shouted in surprise: "Are you Mr. Yishan?"

    "Haha. A down-and-out person can actually meet an acquaintance in a strange place. It is one of the great joys in life" At this point.  He turned to look at me.  The complexion is vicissitudes of life.  His face was pale and his eyes were calm and clear.  "Haowen originally wanted to see off his late lord, but he was stopped by the sergeant. He had no choice but to come here to drink tea. I didn't want to, but I met His Majesty here. It really made Haowen sigh at the wonder of life." At this point.  He dressed up.  He shouted very loudly: "Long live His Majesty Xiurong Yuanhao!"

    This shout.  The waiter and shopkeeper were frightened.  Before they could call out.  Several guards stepped forward to control them.  And took out some money to compensate.

    I couldn¡¯t help but smile.  Never expected that.  I sent people to look for it.  Yuan Haowen is known as the "Northern Literary Hero" and "a generation of literary masters".  Everyone was hanging around right under my nose.  It's really funny.

    The harvest from this trip was rich.  Not only did I meet a great talent.  He also met the most famous literary leaders today.  I didn't know what to say for a moment.

    It was originally on the eve of the destruction of gold.  I have told some people to protect themAn alternative talent like Yuan Haowen.  At that time, he was serving as Yuan Wai Lang, Zuo Si, Xing Shangshu Province in the Kingdom of Jin.  It was originally under surveillance.  It was just after the city of Kaifeng was destroyed.  Escaped without a trace.  Unexpectedly, he came to Jiankang.  He even dared to see off the Wanyan clan openly.  But let me get any news does have a set.  Wave your hands.  I said tolerantly: "Everyone in the Yuan Dynasty, you are welcome to read your poems. I have read them all. It is really amazing. In terms of poetry, you are indeed the leader today. You are comparable to the famous writers of the Song Dynasty. It is really fate that I can meet you here today."  . It¡¯s just that it¡¯s noisy here. Why don¡¯t you all follow me back to the palace? I might as well ask you for advice. I wonder if you would like that?¡±

    Look at me and look at Liu Kan.  After pondering for a moment, he shook his head and said: "Hao Wen is worried about the loss of the Jin Kingdom. I feel sad that the traitor has misled the country. It was just an accident that I saw Your Majesty today. If Your Majesty is willing to grant Hao Wen's wish, I would like Your Majesty to withdraw the pursuit of Hao Wen so that Hao Wen can enjoy the rest of his life in peace."

    I am a little hesitant.  Then he thought.  Yuan Hao is different from Liu Kan.  He belongs to the cultural elite.  His world should be this vast world.  rather than being restricted.  After thinking about it, I said cheerfully: "I am looking for you sir. I originally admired your talent in poetry. Since it has caused any inconvenience to you, I also feel sorry for it. How about this. I will give you a pass so that you can travel around the Song Dynasty."  Territory. I think I made compensation for my mistake. I wonder if you are willing, sir?"

    If you think about it a little.  So I agreed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for making it happen!"

    I smiled lightly.  Rewrite the seal | order and give it to Yuan Haowen.  He didn't refuse either.  After receiving the pass order, he said goodbye and left.  I watched him leave.  He also sighed a little regretfully.

    A few words from Piaotian Literature Network.  Only then are you satisfied.  Again, back to the palace.

    Through this matter.  I'm really aware of the brain drain in the north.  Several edicts were issued in succession.  Let the stations along the way receive talented people from the north who come to Beijing free of charge.  No matter whether the other party is famous or not.  Don't be lazy.  And ordered troops to be stationed in various places.  Leave plenty of ox-carts and horse-drawn carriages.  Responsible for picking up and dropping off these people in sections.  At the same time, the safety of these people must be ensured.  They cannot be disturbed by the roving rebels and bandits.

    This measure has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm of northern talents to come to Beijing.  For several months.  There was no end to the number of northern scholars rushing to Jiankang.  It¡¯s time for the exam to start in June.  There are more than 3,000 candidates from the north.  This number is huge.  It surprised me.

    The subsequent exam.  There are nearly 2,000 northern talents in this group.  Many of them were affected by Sima Feng.  plum.  Wengui.  Wu Wu and other examiners praised it.

    For example, Wang from Yongnian, Hebei Province, and Zhang Qian from Xingzhou.  The system of Dading.  Zhao of Datong and later Kublai Khan's famous Han double advisers Yao Shu and Xu Heng.  And I finally figured out who Liu Kan was.  He was Liu Bingzhong, who was praised by later generations as the designer of the Yuan Dynasty.  Liu Kan is his real name.  As for Bingzhong.  It was just the name given to him by Kublai Khan later.  Of course from now on.  He could only call him Liu Kan.

    Except these people.  Others such as Chen Shike, Zhao Liuzhong, Liu Huan, Zhang Yi, Wang Xunmo, Hao Jing and others were all heroes of the moment.  Enough to take on the important responsibilities of a government.  What surprised me the most was.  Among these candidates were Guo Shoujing and Li Ye.  One of these two is the most famous contemporary astronomical calendar and inventor.  One is a master of mathematics in the north.  They are all rare treasures in the world.  I was pleasantly surprised.  Summon them privately at the palace.  After some testing.  It shows that they are indeed worthy of their reputation.

    Through this selection, the vacancies in northern officials were quickly filled.  After some brainwashing by the policies and regulations of the Song Dynasty.  These people were arranged to take up positions in batches one by one.  Some even stayed in the central court to serve.  For example, Guo Shoujing and Li Ye.  They were assigned to their respective specialty departments.  As for Liu Kan.  He is valued by Mei.  Become her assistant.  Responsible for presiding over the specific work of restoration in the north.

    With the addition of these people.  Plans for reform and recovery in the north continued as planned.  Although there are many twists and turns along the way.  But with this man's efforts.  and under the coercion of a powerful military.  Stability finally returned to the north.

    After stabilizing in the north.  Achaibeji, who was named Concubine Meng, was diagnosed by the imperial physician as being pregnant.  The whole empire was surprised and delighted.  After ten months of pregnancy.  Beginning in July and August.  Give birth to a boy.  I personally named him Jie and since then my worries about having no children have been eliminated.  But the ministers were still a little concerned about Zhao Jie's identity.  I think I should continue to accept concubines.  So that I can strive to have a few more princes.  I laughed it off!

    After the Mongolian Khan Ogedei learned about this.  A thousand horses were sent.  A gift from my uncle to my nephew.  The Mongol Peace Treaty became stable again.  Send a permanent envoy to the other country's capital.  The exchanges between the two sides gradually became closer.

    It was at the end of the seventh year of Shenshi.  The general situation in the north has gone through a stable period.  The recovery period begins.  In the eighth year of Shenshi.  The north has begun to enter a period of rapid recovery.  Dependence on the South gradually decreased.  The whole situation is great.

    The Prime Minister¡¯s Office estimates.  Two more years.  The North can be self-sufficient.  No longer rely on material and financial support from the South.

    And at this time.  The Mongolian Western Expedition Army was under the command of Ogedai.  Turn the grassland.  According to the situation??.  The results of this Western Expedition far exceeded original estimates.  Not only brought back countless gold and silver treasures.  And one after another nearly a million slaves were sent back to the grassland.  Let Mongolia's strength be restored.  Even beyond the Genghis Khan period.

    The commander-in-chief of the Western Expedition has the reputation of dragging thunder.  Ringing across the grassland again!
