The officials of the Song Dynasty could open the back door to the city to give Jinshi background, and the Jinshi who "given" was also a famous Jinshi, not the kind of special Jinshi who had no use except for his identity.

If the old man Murong gets a civil official above the rank of Chaosan doctor, and then has the background of Cijinshi, then he will really become a senior civil official of the Great Song Dynasty. Although it is unlikely to give him a fat difference, there will always be a lifting palace, and there is inevitably a house and money. can be regarded as a step to the sky, living the life of a high-ranking official in the Great Song Dynasty that everyone envies.

Giving such treatment, it shows from another aspect that Zhao Xu and Zhang Dian both regarded the "Pingyan Nine Strategies" as a clever plan and were really ready to implement it.

And Murong Wangwu, as the proposer of the "Pingyan Nine Strategies", can naturally recommend Wu Haogu to serve as the Lifting Lighthouse City......

So this master's shelf really has to be served!

At this time, Prime Minister Zhang Tun did not leave the government hall and return to his home, but convened a meeting of the ruling and privy councils in the capital hall of the government hall to discuss the three cases of "aiding the Bohai Sea", "opening a commercial market" and "training a new army".

“…… Aiding the Bohai Sea and opening a commercial market are all strategies, and military training is the foundation! It is not solid at all, and it is difficult to succeed in using it. But it's not an overnight thing to consolidate the foundation, so let's discuss the matter of using it today. ”

Zhang Dian held a cup of tea and soup, and spoke slowly, when it came to the training of soldiers, he still couldn't help frowning slightly. It's not easy, but Zhang Dian doesn't plan to give up - it's not easy to do anything big in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhang Dian has still done a lot of things in his life.

So he still has the tenacity to do things! However, what we are going to discuss today is indeed not military training, and it seems that this matter is not very urgent.

Zhang Dian took a sip of tea soup and continued: "Let's talk about aiding the Bohai Sea first...... You must all know that the people of Bohai are not much different from the Han people, wearing Hanfu, speaking Chinese, settling in farming, and being educated by saints, not barbarian beasts. If the Khitan loses the country, it is more advantageous to replace it with the Bohai Sea than to replace it with obstruction and Jurchenism. ”

Although Zhang Dian did not know anything about the situation in Liao, he was not ignorant, and he still knew that the Bohai people were the ethnic group with the highest degree of sinicization in Liao except for the Han Chinese. And sinicized farming often means that the combat effectiveness is weak - in the era of cold weapons, barbarism is also combat effectiveness!

Moreover, because the farming people were far away from killing because of their production and lifestyle, their combat effectiveness was far inferior to that of nomadic herders and fishermen without strict military training.

Therefore, if the farming and sinicization of the Bohai people can replace the Khitan as the king of Saiwai, it is tantamount to the blessing of God for the Great Song Dynasty, so it is also a situation that Zhang Dian desperately wants to strive for.

"Xianggong, but there is no Bohai country now." Cai Jing, the deputy privy envoy, reminded at this time, "Who should this money be given to?" And where do I get my bills out? How to get it to the Bohai people? If it is discovered by the Khitans, how should it be explained? ”

Zhang Dian nodded, Cai Jing reminded right, the matter of aiding the Bohai people cannot follow the ordinary diplomatic path. Compared with the Bohai people, who have not yet established a state, they are still subjects of the Great Liao State. The fact that the Great Song Dynasty provided assistance to the Liao State anti-thieves violated the Yuanyuan Alliance!

Don't say that the Liao court knows that it is not easy to confess, that is, on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, many officials will probably oppose this kind of treacherous behavior, right?

"These things can be discussed again," said Zhang, who pondered it, "and there is always a solution." Let's talk about whether it is feasible to help the Bohai Sea? ”

"It's feasible," Cai Jing said, "as long as you are good at planning and don't let the Liao people catch the handle." ”

The privy envoy Zeng Bu also said: "The Bohai people are not barbarians, if they can rise on behalf of the Khitan, the world will be peaceful, as long as our dynasty can recover the fourteen states of Yanyun, the rest of the territory of the Liao country can be given to the Bohai people." ”

Cai Bian said: "Aiding Bohai and forming Yanyun still need to be planned as a whole, and the relationship between Bohai and Yanyun Haoqiang doesn't seem to be very good, I still have to listen to the opinion of Mr. Murong in this matter." ”

Zhang Dian nodded, and glanced at the important ministers in the capital hall with burning eyes, "Then what do you think about opening a commercial market?" ”

"Zihou," the privy envoy Zeng Bu had also seen the "Pingyan Jiuce", he shook his head and said, "Merchants are mercenary, don't rely too much, if you want to open a commercial market, it is best to handle it by the Hebei East Road Transit Envoy, this is the right way." ”

Zeng Bu's vision is naturally not much different from that of Zhang Dian, and of course he can also see the inappropriateness of the "autonomous business city".

"I think so too," Cai Bian said, "There is absolutely no precedent for this matter, and we must be cautious." Because once this precedent is set, I am afraid that future generations will cite it. I'm afraid that the business market will be all over the world in a few decades! ”

Cai Bian thought further, he already thought that someone would follow the precedent of Lighthouse City and then open other commercial markets, if they opened too much, the commercial markets were very likely to become a force!

Cai Jing shook his head and said, "You can't think about everything in the long run...... If the Khitan really can't sustain it, it is imperative to recover Yanyun! If Yanyun can be recovered, it is worth setting a few bad examples. If the Fourteen Prefectures of Yanyun fall into the hands of other barbarians, where will my Great Song Dynasty have a good life? ”

Zhang Dian nodded and said, "It's still the chief who is reasonable." Zixuan, Yuan Du, I have been officials for many years, and we have done a lot of things, so we should know that it is impossible to succeed by following the old ways. If everything follows the so-called right path, the new law will not succeed...... Now is an extraordinary time, the rise and fall of our Great Song Dynasty, and the survival of the new law are all in the battle of Pingyan in the coming day, and we must not lose it. ”

He paused, and then said: "Of course, the matter of opening a business market also needs to be planned carefully, and you can't act rashly, you all think about it for the old man."

In addition, the matters under discussion today are all important military affairs and must not be leaked to outsiders. ”

……

"Eighteen sister, eighteen sister, my uncle is back, my uncle is back alive!"

The shouting of the small bottle sounded in a nunnery on the bank of the Jinshui River in the west of Kaifeng Fucheng, which belonged to Pan Xiao'an, which was full of delicacy and unconcealable wealth. Pan Xiao'an and Pan Qiaolian's brothers and sisters' mothers ate fasting and recited Buddha here for several years before their deaths, and then they were not vacant, so they were lived and practiced by the master of the Pan family brothers and sisters, an old nun from Hengshan Baiyun Nunnery.

However, a month ago, this nunnery, which has always been a little cold, suddenly ushered in a newcomer, who was actually Pan Xiaoan's sister, who had already set up a marriage and was waiting to marry Pan Qiaolian!

Pan Qiaolian came to this Pan family nunnery to recite the scriptures after hearing the news of "Wu Haogu's disappearance" - she is a woman who has guarded the door once! She had also seen the Zhao family's sect before, a person who looked very healthy, a tall and tall one, and a young man, less than 20 years old. I don't know why, after marrying Pan Qiaolian, I suddenly fell ill, and I didn't survive to the chapel, and I didn't even have time to be happy.

At that time, some people chewed their tongues and said that Pan Qiaolian was the life of Kefu and killed her husband who did not worship the church.

However, at that time, Pan Qiaolian resolutely did not believe in her Kefu, in order to prove that she was not Kefu, she also spent 500 yuan to invite Wang Zixi, a Taoist priest who preached and practiced in Songshan, to tell her fortune, and finally calculated a big Wangfu life.

But as soon as Wu Haogu disappeared, Pan Qiaolian immediately jumped in shock! Of course, she knows how her "Wangfu life" is calculated. The Wang Taoist priest also said that it was Kefu at first, and then he collected 1,000 taels before he calculated carefully, and finally came to the conclusion of "Wangfu......

But I didn't expect Wu Haogu to disappear for a while! At this time, Pan Qiaolian was in a hurry, for fear that her lover would be gone, but she had no choice but to go to the nunnery to discuss with Guanyin Bodhisattva. I don't know how much I said to reshape the golden body, so I almost sacrificed myself to the Bodhisattva as a little nun.

I don't know if Pan Qiaolian's promise moved the Bodhisattva, and today finally waited for the good news.

When the vial arrived, Pan Qiaolian was wearing a nun's clothes and knocking on the wooden fish in front of a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva made of gold (this Bodhisattva was made by Pan Qiaolian's mother), and chattered with the Bodhisattva about the size of the golden body. What do you say, as long as Wu Dalang can come back alive, he will cast a hundred-pound gold statue, all made of gold......

As soon as he made a wish, the little bottle rushed in like a gust of wind and shouted: "Eighteen sister, eighteen sister, my uncle is back!" ”

"Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless ......" Pan Qiaolian let out a long breath, got up from the futon, turned around and looked at the fat golden bottle, "Little bottle, is my uncle here?" ”

"No......" Xiao Bottler shook his head, "Uncle came back in the morning, and brought back a few friends from the Liao Kingdom and a yellow-haired fanpo......"

"Yellow-haired Fanpo?" Pan Qiaolian immediately became nervous, "Is it beautiful?" How old is it? ”

She had already noticed that Wu Dalang was becoming more and more! Not only good women, but also good men!

Wu Dalang also seems to like the beautiful fan, and the Mo Limo lady is what he asked for from Ji Yi......

"Yes, it's a bit of a gesture." Xiao Bottler thought for a moment, "It doesn't seem to be too old, fifteen or sixteen years old." ”

Pan Qiaolian stomped her foot, "What about Ximen Xiaoyi?" Did he come back with Wu Dalang? ”

"No," said the vial, "I didn't see Simon outside." ”

Pan Qiaolian still snorted softly, "Why didn't Brother Dawu come?" Where did he go? Didn't you go looking for the ink lady? ”

"No, it's not," said Xiao Bottle, "he went to the palace on an errand, and brought a large stack of concertographs, and I heard him say to Master Wu that he had made a great contribution this time, and maybe he could become an ambassador." ”

"Ambassador? Can you really do it? Pan Qiaolian's pretty face showed a hint of joy, "Xiao Bottle, go find me some clothes, I'll change and go see Brother Dawu." ”

"Okay, okay."
