Zhao Ji was called.

Recently, he has been very honest, reading and writing articles, and then looking for an opportunity to go out and go to Shen An's house to chat with a few friends.

Zhao Shu looked at this eldest son and found that he had grown taller again, and couldn't help but sigh a little.

"You're taller than me, aren't you?"

He walked over, and Zhao Ji immediately bent his knees covertly, "No, official, you are wrong." ”

Zhao Shu stretched out his hand on the top of his forehead, and then stretched it out flat, and the result was even higher.

"Well, it looks like you're still eating less, turn around...... Go back and give more mutton to Qingning Palace. ”

Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment and said, "The minister eats very well outside." ”

After returning from Xiongzhou, he was given the privilege of entering and leaving the palace freely, so he went out frequently......

The Shen family has recently made a lot of delicacies, and Zhao Ji has eaten so much that his weight has skyrocketed.

But in Zhao Shu's eyes, it was not like this.

"Palace...... Ay! It's my dad who is not good, so you can't eat well. Back...... Looking back......"

He regretted it a little, and felt that the previous 300,000 guan should be at least 100,000 back, so that he could make life in the palace better.

To be the emperor to do this, there are only people from the old Zhao family, of course, Zhao Ji is not counted.

Zhao Ji felt that his father was really fooled by the courtiers.

"The three divisions will always be short of money......

For the current Great Song Dynasty, the excess money will be filled in by the Zaifu people, and the holes in the Great Song Dynasty are countless, that is to say, unless the innovation is successful, the three divisions will always be short of money.

Zhao Shu was silent, he also knew this truth, and sighed for a long time: "You know this, there were merchants who were going to build a shipyard before, and they wanted to go to sea to trade, but there are really so many places overseas for the trade and exchange of goods in the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

"Yes." Zhao Wei affirmed: "There are all kinds of small countries along the way, those small countries seem to be small, but they are extremely rich, gold, silver, jewelry, ivory tortoiseshell...... In the past, you can trade directly with the Great Cannibals, and you will need a lot of goods......"

Many years later, the money earned by the Southern Song Dynasty's overseas trade supported that half of the country, blocking the Jin and Mongols......

Without the huge profits of maritime trade, the Southern Song Dynasty could not hold on.

Moreover, at that time, the sea trade was divided by the big food merchants, and if it was all collected by the Great Song Dynasty......

The monarchs and ministers of the court will go crazy, they will go crazy for the huge profits, and thus regard the navy and the maritime trade policy as the golden rooster that lays eggs.

"Those natives hold gold nuggets, and they only need a knife to make them smile, and they are regarded as treasures......"

"Really?" Zhao Shu felt that there was a bright spot in front of him, and if this was true, life in the palace would be better again.

"Really," Zhao Ji said sincerely, "These are all from the big food merchant." ”

"Will they tell the truth?" Zhao Shu felt unreliable, "If there is really so much money, they will definitely hide it." ”

Zhao Ji first lowered his head, then raised his head, and said embarrassedly: "They originally refused to say it, but then we moved it with affection, understood it with reason, and kept in mind to convince people with virtue...... So they were moved and said. ”

Zhao Shu's eyelids twitched, knowing that what this son said was all lies,

What moves with emotion? It's fists and feet, right?

If you know it, it must be a threat.

Convince people with virtue......

Isn't that what Shen An has been talking about all day long?

Ay!

It's all a disguise!

"Official, the big cannibals have purchased so many goods back, who can they sell them to? Sell to Big Food? I thought it was more than that. The Great Food Country is in chaos, and they are currently facing a strong opponent, and after many battles, the Great Food is divided into two parts...... How can such a big food buy and sell so many goods? ”

"What do you want to say?" Zhao Shu turned around, with curiosity in his eyes.

"This world is not just the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Food ......" Zhao Ji felt the need to popularize knowledge for his father: "Miscellaneous studies think that this world is a ball ......"

"Ahem, ahem!" Zhao Shu interrupted him with a dry cough dissatisfied, "I know, some people say that there is a big ball under our feet." ”

He said that the ball would be flustered and felt that there was nothing to lose.

But the big ball is different, the big ball is very big and can support itself and Da Song.

"Yes, it's a big ball." Zhao Ji changed his words, "The Great Song Dynasty is in the east, except for the Liao people in Western Xia...... On the vast sea, there are still countless lands, which are the same as those of the Great Song Dynasty, which can also be cultivated, and there are also various minerals...... Tree...... Rivers...... Various animal ...... That's fertile soil. ”

Zhao Ji was intoxicated, and he hoped that the Great Song would one day find those lands, and then become the cultivated land and mines of the Great Song Dynasty.

"The minister has known since he was a child that the Great Song Dynasty is poor, and every year there is a quarrel and dispute between the court and the central government, in the final analysis, it is a lack of money and food...... But there are overseas! ”

Zhao Ji said confidently: "What the Great Song Dynasty lacks at present is arable land and mines...... The population of the Great Song Dynasty is getting more and more, and there will be more and more in the future, what should we do? The minister thought that it was impossible to do it internally, after all, the Great Song Dynasty had so much land and could not carry so many people, so ......"

"So you're going overseas looking for land?" Zhao Shu thinks that young people are good, and their thinking mode is always positive and optimistic.

But as an emperor, he is different, he has to think about one thing and take all the possibilities into account before he can make a decision.

This is the imperial mindset.

"yes!" Zhao Ji said longingly: "When the time comes, the Great Song Dynasty will farm outside, open mines outside, and the grain, gold, silver, copper and iron will be transported back in a steady stream every year, and the Great Song Dynasty at that time will ......."

At that time, the Great Song Dynasty must have been so strong that the world looked sideways.

"Not many people want to go away from their homeland."

Zhao Shu thinks that young people are always so simple and immature when they think about things!

"You can give benefits!" Zhao Ji said seriously: "Just give more benefits, those businessmen dare to risk their lives to go to sea for wealth, and others can't go to sea to farm for benefits?" The minister thinks that people are profit-seeking, and as long as they find a way, they can always be lured to the sea. ”

"The word seduction...... Not good. Zhao Shu felt that his son had really changed, especially that self-confidence, which made him suddenly feel old.

"Yes." Zhao Ji lowered his head, "Official, in fact, there is still a place for the Great Song Dynasty to cultivate......"

"Where?" Zhao Shu thought about it carefully, but when he didn't expect this place, he felt that he was really old.

"North."

Zhao Shu was looking forward to the answer, but he didn't expect it to be this, he couldn't get out of his throat with a mouthful of old blood, and he wanted to hit someone uncomfortably.

"The north is the Liao people."

"Sooner or later, the Liao people will be beaten down by us." Zhao Ji took it for granted, and felt that the Liao people were only worthy of being a stepping stone for the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Shu stroked his chest, very uncomfortable.

This son treats everything around him as a place for the Great Song, is that good?

If you wait for him to succeed to the throne...... I'm afraid that the Great Song Dynasty is going to war?

"Yeluhongki only knows about hunting, not the lord of England. And the Great Song Dynasty is thriving, if he lives a long life, the minister dares to say that the last emperor of the Liao people is him. ”

This son is inflated!

The swelling is not like words!

But I'm being cautious.

Zhao Shu compared himself to his son and felt like a bad old man.

It felt terrible, so he said with a straight face, "That...... Cao Tong seems to be sick, you go and take a look. ”

Empress Dowager Cao is more cooperative with Zhao Shu's work and does not trouble him, so Zhao Shu is also happy to give the Cao family face.

So the outside world was not optimistic about it at the beginning, but now it feels that 'mother and son are filial', and the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty is happy for a while.

Zhao Ji responded, and went all the way out of the palace to the Cao family.

After arriving at Cao's house, he entered the front yard, and Zhao Ji saw a person lying in the main hall.

"What's that?"

He hadn't experienced the rules of the Cao family, so he was very puzzled.

A few steps further, a man was seen lying on the door panel......

In an instant, the dim main hall became gloomy.

it!

"Uncle ......"

Zhao Ji rubbed his eyes, ready to brew some grief.

"It's ...... Who's coming? ”

Cao Yan who was lying on the door panel suddenly spoke, and Zhao Ji was scared out of a sweat.

"Uncle Guo, this is ......"

The man was lying on the door panel, looking straight and straight, and the key was that he was still wearing a white dress......

Anyone would be scared to pee, right?

And the man suddenly spoke up.

it!

The timid will be scared half to death.

Zhao Ji didn't know that Empress Dowager Cao also came to such a show in the palace, which almost frightened his old lady Gao Tao.

Cao Tong barely raised his head on the door panel, but his eyes were still closed.

His right eye slowly opened a slit, glanced outside, and saw that it was Zhao Ji, so he lay down again, "It's the king, sit, get a stool, please sit down." ”

A servant answered and went to get a chair.

The chair was placed on the edge of the door panel, and Zhao Ji felt very uncomfortable.

"That...... Uncle Guo, you are ......"

If you're sick, look for Lang Zhong, what's the matter with your lying door panel!

He remembered the strange look of his father before he came out, and then he understood the reason.

He knows all about the door panel of the Cao family!

So why not?

After Zhao Ji, whose legs were a little weak, sat down, his whole body relaxed.

"So-and-so is dead."

Cao Yan's faint words made Zhao Ji almost jump up.

"In the eyes of the ghosts, so-and-so is dead, so they will let so-and-so go, understand?"

"Yes, understood." Zhao Ji felt that the Cao family was gloomy and really boring.

Cao Tong quietly opened his eyes again, "I dreamed of the ancestor last night......"

"The king of Jiyang County was born and died for the Great Song Dynasty, which is admirable."

After Cao Bin's death, he was posthumously named the king of Jiyang County, which can be regarded as a good death.

Cao Tong sighed: "Last night, the ancestor said that the Cao family is now a weasel cub, and one generation is not as good as the next, and it is becoming more and more unproductive." After a few generations, I am afraid that it will be gone, and a certain shame will be unbearable, and he will fall ill. ”

Cao Bintuo's dream?

Zhao Ji couldn't help but look inside the lobby.

The lobby was a little dim, and there seemed to be something moving in the shadows.

This Cao family can't wait!

Cao Tong moved on the door panel, and reached out to scratch his back, which was very comfortable.

"I heard that there is a man-made rebellion against sour jujubes...... I wondered if I could go...... Serve your own army and lead the ......"

……

Good night!
