"In the country of ten thousand times, soldiers cannot be without owners, the land is vast, the wilderness cannot be without officials, the people are numerous, officials cannot be without chiefs, the orders of the people cannot be controlled, and the court cannot be without government...... Your Majesty, this is Guan Zhong's words to a great country, and it has been like this since ancient times, and it can be said that it will not be easy for eternity! ”

When Yang Xiu, a scholar of Zhaowenguan University, said this, his eyes were bright and scary, at least Zhao Zhen felt so, today's lecture on the feast day was titled "Guanzi Xiuquan", and this lecturer was Yang Xiu, a scholar of Zhaowenguan University who was responsible for teaching students.

Since Zhao Zhen ascended the throne and pro-government, he has been talking about the feast every day, even if he has understood these big truths, but it is still the case, Yang Xiu can always tell boring things "new tricks", which is like helping Zhao Zhen understand and analyze.

For such a literati Zhao Zhen is respectful, they can diligently seek the truth in the sea of books, and to keep the truth from the false, this insistence alone is admirable, maybe the ability in the government is a little worse, but there is really no one who can compare with the scholar, and Zhao Zhen intends to get the good or bad of colonization on the Great Song Dynasty from him.

The scholar of Zhaowenguan University is Zhao Zhen's pavilion bachelor, and like a senior secretary and assistant, he always gets answers to his questions.

"What do you think about the reopening of the Protectorate?"

Yang Xiu did not answer Zhao Zhen's question directly, but continued to speak: "Your Majesty, Guan Zi has already given the answer: those who want to serve the world must reuse their country, those who want to serve their country must reuse their people, and those who want to serve their people must do their best to do their people's strength." If there is no animal, there is no way to stop; If there is no way to shepherd, it is impossible to deal with it; If a person from afar arrives but does not go, there are also animals. ”

Zhao Zhen was stunned for a while, this Yang Xiu is really a bookworm, the thoughts of a thousand years ago have been used by him in ancient times and today, this is very simple, the meaning of the pipe is: If you want to cure the world, you must cherish your national strength;

If we want to govern the country, we must cherish the people at home, and if we want to govern the people, we must cherish the exhaustion of people's strength. If there is no way to feed the people, people will flee and cannot be stopped; There is no way to govern the people, and even if they stay, they cannot be used.

And Yang Xiu means to let himself cherish the people's power, but this is not to be kind to the people and love things, but to focus on governance, that is, control!

If you can't control the Wa Kingdom, then there will be no point in reopening the capital and protecting the Mansion, Zhao Zhen looked at Yang Xiu's slightly pale temples and said, "So you want me to treat the Wa Kingdom with the law of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Yang Xiu shook his head slightly: "The reopening of the capital protectorate is an extremely important thing for my Great Song Dynasty, raising the prestige of my Great Song Dynasty and using the land of the Japanese kingdom, these are all excellent, but there is one point, Your Majesty's capital protectorate should be different from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the minister heard that His Majesty does not want to interfere with the dynasty of the Japanese Dynasty, and the minister thinks it is inappropriate." ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "Although I don't interfere in the government of the Japanese Kingdom, I ask the Empress of the Japanese Kingdom to come to the Great Song Dynasty, so that the law of the Great Song Dynasty can be respected, and the Japanese Kingdom must be like ......this."

Zhao Zhen's words made Yang Xiu surprised and nodded with satisfaction: "Your Majesty's words are very good, the Wa Kingdom should not only respect the Great Song Dynasty as orthodox, but also take the law of the Great Song Dynasty as the government, so that it can be attributed to the Great Song Dynasty, and Your Majesty can even send officials to "assist" the Empress of the Wa Kingdom." ”

Yang Xiu bit very the word auxiliary, as if he was about to chew the country to pieces, Zhao Zhen was calmed by his thoughts, but he didn't expect his words to make his original worries disappear without a trace, that's right! As long as the officials of the Great Song Dynasty were installed in the Wa State to assist the Wa Emperor, there was no need to worry about too much change in the Wa State.

"Pay equal attention to civil and military affairs, and dominate the Japanese country?!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zhao Zhen stared at Yang Xiu, it was really surprising for this scholar to say such a thing for the first time, but Zhao Zhen didn't think that this was his idea alone, and there must be "help" from the ministers behind it.

But this kind of thing can't be broken, Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "I suddenly opened up, deterred by force, educated by culture, deterred by force, obedient by culture, and imperceptibly returned to the country of the Japanese country, this is a good act!" ”

Yang Xiu nodded with satisfaction: "However, although the reopening of the capital protectorate by force alone can stabilize it for a while, if it takes a long time, it must be cultured and Taoist first, and the teachers of the Han and Tang dynasties are not successful." ”

Zhao Zhen very much agreed with him, the literati of the Great Song Dynasty were the best at summarizing, summarizing the knowledge of their predecessors, summarizing the experience of their predecessors, so as to learn lessons from them and obtain better methods, and this idea was probably also the result of discussions between the ministers and the courtiers.

"Today's feast day said that I have gained a lot, I heard that you had a grandson the day before yesterday, and I happened to have a talisman here and gave him a talisman."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

………………

The dialogue between Zhao Zhen and Yang Xiu is actually a dialogue between him and the ministers of the two governments, this situation is not uncommon, and it is not difficult to speak up, but if you can say it skillfully, why not do it?

To be honest, Zhao Zhen likes this kind of change of direction very much, there is no burden to accept or reject, and he is not afraid of whisking anyone's face, and there is no need for tension between the two sides.

When Zhao Zhen left the Zhaowen Pavilion, the sky had gradually darkened, and what Zhao Zhen was most worried about now was not the Wa Kingdom, but whether Cai Boyu had arrived at the Jurchens in the East China Sea, which was a very big gamble.

The main reason why the Great Song Dynasty set up the capital protectorate in the Wa Kingdom was to use the Wa State as a springboard, and then use the East China Sea Jurchen as the way to march into the army.

You must know that in this era, the biggest harm is not to deal with those foreign barbarians.

Now that the springboard is there, it is almost time to unite with the Jurchens, and the life of the Jurchens during this period is not easy, otherwise they will not send envoys to disguise themselves as Liao people and make a detour from Goryeo to the Great Song Dynasty......

The intention of this envoy is very clear, even the military generals in the court know that they are here to open up trade routes, this year's spring disaster has caused great harm to the Jurchens, and the Liao Dynasty's oppression of the Jurchens has intensified, they resisted, but in the end they failed.

For some reason, the Liao people's suppression of the Jurchens this time was unbeatable, often slaughtering the entire tribe of people, and there was not a single survivor, including women and children......

The Jurchens did not have much food in the first place, especially the Jurchens, who had to pay more food than the mature Jurchens, but they were not good at planting, but good at grazing, but these cattle, sheep and horses were the source of their survival, and once lost, it was almost no different from extinction.

The Shengjurchen could only pin their only remaining hope on the body of the Great Song Dynasty, rather than being plundered by the Liao Dynasty, it was better to exchange something at a low price, which was the most important thing.
