After the Liao State was incorporated into the territory of the Song Kingdom, the original Beijing Road of the Liao State was renamed as a road, such as Shangjing Road for Shangjing Road, Tokyo Road for Tokyo Road, etc., and the scope of the jurisdiction remained unchanged; Han Qi and Fan Zhongyan fought meritoriously and were once again awarded the post of garrison, Fan Zhongyan went to the Dongjin Road to recruit pacification envoys, and Han Qi was stationed in Tokyo Road; In this matter, Zhao Zhen's attitude is clear, meritorious service can be rewarded, but the previous punishment can not be counted, he can be a local official, but he will never be allowed to enter Beijing as an official, let alone return to the center.

The generals of the Northwest Army led by Su Jin became the biggest winners, Jingtai was promoted to the head of the military department, and also the envoy of the Qinzhou Road, and Pan Jiang was transferred to the Nanjing Province to recruit and pacify the envoy, and hung up the position of the head of the criminal department; Wang Dynasty Mahan was promoted to the deputy commander of the palace army, and all the other soldiers of the Northwest Army who returned alive were promoted and dispersed into various armies as generals; The fallen soldiers also received generous pensions from the imperial court.

Di Qing was appointed as the deputy privy envoy because of his meritorious service in pacifying Nong Zhigao and responding to Su Jin, and some people were originally opposed, but Su Jin strongly recommended that with Su Jin's influence at this time, he would not say a word, but if he said a word, there were indeed not many people who dared to openly contradict him; Di Qing's biggest obstacle to serving as the deputy privy envoy is the same as the obstacle Su Jin encountered at the beginning, Di Qing was born in the army and did not have a reputation for the imperial examination, which naturally became the reason for the court to oppose him as the deputy privy envoy, and Su Jin was not angry about this, so he supported Di Qing's ascension.

However, the appointment of Su Jin has not been written for a long time, different versions are circulating, there are many speculations in the civil officialdom, and there are no clues to follow in the "Pearl Daily", which has always been known for being well-informed, which adds to the mystery of the matter.

Half a month later, the mystery was revealed, and as most people expected, Du Yan was removed from the position of privy envoy, and Su Jin became the youngest privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty at the age of twenty-four; Du Yan had hesitated in the discussion of counterattacking the Liao State, and almost missed the fighter, and his resignation was an inevitable result, which was completely expected by everyone.

But what most people didn't expect was that Zhang Yaozuo, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, was actually appointed as the deputy privy envoy to Tongzhi Pingzhang this time, and suddenly jumped into one of the core of the center and taught people to smack their tongues; Those who know the inside story know that Zhang Guifei's pillow wind worked, taking advantage of this major adjustment of the team, Zhao Zhen also played a trick, and on the occasion of the adjustment of personnel, Zhang Yaozuo inserted himself into the center.

For this reason, Bao Zheng and other counselors strongly opposed, and after a few days of verbal arguments, Yan Shu still came forward to persuade Su Jin not to affect the appointment of Su Jin, and calmed down the anger of Bao Zheng and others.

In order to achieve a balance, Zhao Zhen appointed Bao Zheng as the Yin of Waikaifeng Mansion to replace Zhang Yaozuo's position, while retaining the post of Zhongcheng in the imperial history; Bao Zheng was in righteous indignation, and Su Jin tried every means to persuade Bao Zheng to agree to take this position, weakening Zhang Yaozuo's power.

The appointment of Su Jin is not only these, in addition to the important position of privy envoy, Yan Shu is also the honorary envoy of the three divisions, but he publicly expressed his lack of energy in the imperial court, and the powers of the three divisions were handed over to the deputy envoy of the three divisions, Su Jin, who was fully deputized, in view of Su Jin's contribution and means to the finance and taxation of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Zhen was also happy to let Su Jin accept the finance and recover from the post-war depression as soon as possible.

Su Jin understood that the top priority at the moment should be shifted from the military to the recovery of production and the alleviation of finances, annexing a large area of land and population of the Liao State, but also brought a great burden, the increase of nearly 20 million people brought more severe challenges, and the 20 million people of the former Liao State were in exile.

Most of the castles of Kamigyo Province and Tokyo Province were burned down, and now that they belong to the Great Song Dynasty, these places need to be rebuilt.

It all boils down to one thing, and that is fiscal revenue; In addition to actively implementing the policy of land reclamation and self-retention of the Department of Development and Reform, more ways to get money are also needed.

In order to alleviate all the contradictions and pressures, Su Jin decided to cut his love and dedicate the big cake of overseas trade to nationalization.

During the war, Su Ji only had time to send a fleet to sail again, and before returning to sail, the major merchants had gathered hundreds of ships to prepare to follow Su Ji's fleet to sail for the third time.

Su Jin once again proposed to set up a city shipping department to manage overseas trade in a unified manner, this time Zhao Zhen readily agreed, he already knew that Su Ji had opened the waterway, Zhang Yaozuo and others had already written to say that they wanted to take back the right to ocean trade, but Zhao Zhen was afraid that Su Jin would not agree, at this moment Su Jin took the initiative to propose this matter, Zhao Zhen was also very surprised and a little moved, all along, Su Jin was a capable official in his impression, but Su Jin's wealth collection was also famous, and he also made a lot of money under the banner of the imperial court, Zhao Zhen also changed his way to pull money out of Su Jin's pocket, and letting Su Jin fend for himself was one of the tricks.

But at this time, Su Jin's impression on him has changed a lot, since the moment Su Jin was willing to take the risk of taking 200,000 horses to attack the hinterland of Liao, Zhao Zhen had a new understanding of Su Jin, he is not only a capable official, not only a guy who loves money, but also a person who can stand up in righteousness, this time he took the initiative to talk about nationalizing overseas trade, which made Zhao Zhen firm his opinion.

Out of consideration for Su Jin's compensation, Zhao Zhen tentatively proposed to let Su Ji participate in it, but Su Jin refused, because Zhao Zhen completely misunderstood his meaning, Zhao Zhen thought that the nationalization of ocean trade was to prohibit private trade at sea, which was precisely contrary to the policy of encouraging merchants to enrich the people and enrich the country, Su Jin just wanted to set up and improve the city, open a number of ports, and encourage private merchants to trade, so as to collect tariffs on the import and export of goods, which is the long-term way to make money; If the state organizes the fleet to go to sea for trade, although it is profitable in the short term, it is not conducive to the overall economic vitality of the Great Song Dynasty in the long run.

After explaining for a long time, Zhao Zhen finally understood what Su Jin meant, he realized that the gap between himself and Su Jin was not a little bit, in order not to show his ignorance, he pretended to be generous and told Su Jin: "Aiqing in the future, but if you have ideas, you just need to play, I don't allow anything, and I don't need to explain to me, I just need to know that what you are doing is for the sake of Da Song." ”

What Su Jin wants is this sentence, and with Zhao Zhen's words at the bottom, he can implement all the ideas in his heart unscrupulously.

Su Jin immediately ordered the establishment of municipal shipping departments in Guangzhou, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, Hangzhou, Mizhou, Huating and other places to comprehensively manage overseas trade. At the same time, Su Jin ordered to give 100 sea ships and trade with the Tibetan countries along the way, encouraging them to take the initiative to trade with the Great Song Dynasty.

In September of the second year of Huangyou alone, the number of ships sailing in and out of various ports reached more than 530,000, and in this month, the import tariffs of the city shipping department were more than 1.5 million, which simply made the officials of the third division and Zhao Zhen and others so shocked that their mouths could not close.

As the four national highways were nearing completion, in order to repay the state bonds issued, Li Zhong ordered the establishment of toll booths every 50 miles, hung up signs for toll repayment, and set up public freight stations and a public transportation system for inter-section manpower transportation on the national highways.

By the end of the second year of Huangyou, the financial tax revenue of the Great Song Dynasty reached 70 million guan, although the various expenditures were as high as 110 million, and there was still a deficit of 40 million guan, but a large amount of investment was concentrated in this year, and over time, the deficit would be gradually eliminated.

In April of the third year of Huangyou, Liang Shi, the director of the smelting division of the three divisions, successively found several large mines in Shanxi, Tokyo Road, Huainan East Road, and Hubei, Su Jinli was the main mine, and after overcoming many technical difficulties, three large mineral deposits were released one after another, Su Jinzuo asked Zhao Zhen to lift the export ban on carboniferous ironware, and exported a small amount of carboniferous ironware in exchange for strategic material reserves such as saltpeter and sulfur that were prohibited from being exported by the Tibetan State.

In the second year of Huangyou, the third year of Huangyou, the two years of Huangyou, almost changed greatly in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the national highway is through, the branch roads are vertical and horizontal, the wasteland is reclaimed, the city is prosperous, the urban population is gathered, the agricultural production technology is innovative, the popularization and use of iron and charcoal makes the life of the people more convenient, and more and more state capitals have opened municipal facilities under the supervision and promotion of the Development and Reform Division, buses and carriages, streets around the city, and public entertainment venues continue to emerge.

Pearl Newspaper spares no effort to promote the experience of various places, every time there is a new atmosphere, it will be praised all over the Song Dynasty during the day, people no longer sunrise and daily income, the improvement of labor efficiency, the abundance of pockets, the subtle hint of Pearl Daily, so that they have more things to pursue, rather than just by going into the casino to visit the brothel to kill a lot of time and money.

During this period, it has been talked about by future generations, and was once called the 'rule of the emperor' and secretly called the 'rule of Su Jin'.
