A few days later, the Great Song Daily opened a column about the aftermath of Jiaozhi, and the news that the imperial court intended to let Jiaozhi cede land compensation was also disseminated, as a result, this matter quickly became the focus of discussion in the world, they did not have a great mind to repay grievances with virtue, plus they had no good impression of Jiaozhi, so most people felt that the imperial court's land reparation punishment was very relieved, and they naturally supported it.

If it was just the support of ordinary people, those ministers in the court might not take it too seriously, but the scholars in Shilin, especially the young scholars, also applauded the decision of the imperial court, especially Li Gonglin and other young scholars, especially Li Gonglin with the convenience of the newspaper, he published articles in the newspaper every day, shouting for the court's decision to severely punish Jiaozhi, and his practice affected a large number of young scholars. This also made most of the people in Shilin also support the decision of the imperial court.

Zhao Shu took advantage of this opportunity to suppress those who opposed it in one fell swoop, and finally made a decision to force Jiaozhi to cede land and pay compensation, and Zhao Shu, in order to prevent this matter from repeating, immediately summoned the envoys sent by Jiaozhi after Tongguò, and forced them to agree to the conditions of land cession and indemnity proposed by the Great Song Dynasty on the condition that the Great Song Dynasty would withdraw its troops.

Before Jiaozhi sent several groups of envoys to the Great Song Dynasty to ask for peace, but unfortunately the Great Song Dynasty ignored them, which also made these envoys dare not return to China at all, and now the Great Song Dynasty finally agreed to withdraw the troops, but put forward a condition that they have no right to decide at all, so these envoys are also extremely difficult, and finally can only beg the Great Song Dynasty to give some time and let them go back to discuss with Li Rizun, for which Zhao Shu has long been prepared. Simply let these envoys all go back, and he was also going to send an envoy from the Great Song Dynasty to Jiaozhi with the five of them, and negotiate with Jiaozhi on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty.

For the candidate for this envoy, Zhao Shu originally wanted Zhao Yan to run, after all, the war started because of him, and the conditions for land cession and compensation were also the first to be put forward by him. Therefore, in Zhao Shu's opinion, no one is more suitable to serve as this envoy than Zhao Yan, and even if Zhao Yan goes, it is likely to win some more favorable conditions for the Great Song Dynasty.

However, Zhao Yan said that he was unwilling to leave the capital again this time, especially because he was the most afraid of heat, and the humid and sultry weather in the south was really not suitable for him, so he simply refused, but he recommended one person to Zhao Shu, that is, Princess Dening's husband, General Zuo Wang Shiyue. Now they are both in Guangzhou to preside over the Great Song Dynasty's maritime trade business, and they know the situation in Jiaozhi best, especially Princess Dening is very shrewd and capable, and she is behind her to help Wang Shiyue come up with ideas, and she will definitely be able to take on the position of envoy.

Zhao Shu saw that Zhao Yan really didn't want to go, and he thought that Zhao Yan had indeed worked too hard in the past two years, and the appointment with Zhao Yan recommended by Wang Shi was also very suitable, especially for his daughter Princess Dening. Zhao Shu was also very confident, so he didn't insist. Soon he sent a holy decree to Wang Shiyue, appointing him as the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty and negotiating with Jiaozhi on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty, but the place of negotiation was directly set up in Guangzhou, and then Li Rizun sent someone who could represent Jiaozhi to Guangzhou to negotiate.

Princess Dening was in a good mood during this time, and the Great Song Haimao was in the efforts of her and her husband Wang Shiyue. is slowly on the right track, and now almost all the maritime merchants who go to sea in the Great Song Dynasty have joined the Maritime Trade Company, after all, the Maritime Trade Company can not only organize them, but also contact the sailors of the Great Song Dynasty to protect them. In addition, there are merchants and businessmen in the sea trade line, no matter what business you do, it can be said that you can complete it directly in the sea trade line, which also provides great convenience for the maritime merchants, in addition, the merchants who join the sea trade line have some other preferential conditions, such as taxes can be reduced, you can hold some weapons, etc., so many preferential conditions, those maritime merchants are naturally rushing.

Now the sea trade bank will send three to five fleets to the South China Sea every month, these fleets are from the Great Song Dynasty coastal to Guangzhou, and then the sea trade bank comes forward to organize and coordinate, and finally the navy division sends the escort of the warship south, of course, during this period, each ship owner has to pay some necessary expenses, not to mention the tax on goods, in addition to the employment fee of the sailor warship, the coordination fee of the sea trade bank, etc., these costs add up to a lot, but it is much less than the previous tolls paid to the pirates on the road, and they are under the protection of the sea trade bankNot only is it safer, but at the same time, it can also unite to raise prices overseas, so as to earn greater profits, so for these necessary expenses, maritime merchants are very happy.

Thinking of the increasingly prosperous sea trade line, Princess Dening's face couldn't help but show a bit of a smug smile, although the sea trade line was nominally presided over by her husband Wang Shiyue, but in fact, people inside and outside the sea trade line knew that the person who really held the power of the sea trade line was her princess of the Great Song Dynasty, and even some people behind the scenes were talking about it, saying that if Princess Dening was a man, I am afraid that the crown prince would not be Zhao Ji's turn, although these words were a little too much, Princess Dening did not have any ambition to be the prince, but she was still very happy after hearing it.

In addition to her career achievements, Princess Dening has also been emotionally satisfied, but don't get me wrong, Princess Dening is a virtuous and virtuous woman, and she will not raise a face like a princess in the Tang Dynasty.

Speaking of which, Princess Dening and Wang Shiyue have been married for nearly seven years, as the so-called seven-year itch, although the relationship between their husband and wife was very good when they first got married, but with the growth of time, there is no freshness between each other, and the feelings are slowly fading, and there is no longer the sweetness when they first got married, and even Princess Dening herself has no previous feelings about Wang Shiyue.

However, this time they and their husbands and wives ran from the capital to Guangzhou, and they also had to preside over the affairs of the sea trade line, although the identity of the princess and the concubine provided them with a lot of convenience, but some difficulties still need to be overcome by them personally, and Guangzhou is different from the capital, the two are not familiar with this place, so they can only support each other and take care of each other, especially when they first came to Guangzhou, Princess Dening was a little unaccustomed, and as a result, Wang Shi took care of her, which made their husband and wife's feelings seem to be reborn. It even feels sweeter than when she first got married, and sometimes Princess Dening feels a little blush when she thinks about it.

Princess Dening was thinking about her thoughts, and suddenly saw the horse Wang Shiyue striding in from the outside, and then sat on the chair, picked up the teapot and drank it in a big gulp, and finally took a breath and said: "Lady, this fleet has finally been sent away, and we can finally relax for a few days, but the weather in Guangzhou is really terrible, it's almost the New Year, and it's still so hot!" ”

In fact, it is no wonder that Wang Shiyu complained, it is already the end of November, but Guangzhou is still very hot, especially he needs to command and coordinate on the dock, naturally it is hot and sweaty. In fact, this year's winter in Guangzhou is indeed a bit abnormal, at this time of the year, even if it is not cold in Guangzhou, but you have to wear thicker clothes, but this year it is as hot as ever, which can be compared with summer.

"Giggles, if the husband feels hot, let's go to Baiyun Mountain to escape the heat, and by the way, go to the Jingtai Temple on the mountain to make incense, I heard that the Buddha there is very spiritual." When Princess Dening heard this, she immediately mentioned that she had already heard that the Baiyun Mountain next to Guangzhou was beautiful, and she could just take advantage of this opportunity to go less.

"That's a good idea, I'm going to get people ready!" Wang Shiyue also immediately agreed when he heard Princess Dening's mention, he is a typical northern man, he has been afraid of heat since he was a child, so the weather here in Guangzhou is really a torture for him, but I heard that Baiyun Mountain has a cool climate, and it is a good place to escape the heat.

However, Wang Shiyue, who was excited, just stood up, but his face suddenly changed, and then he sighed and sat down, which made Princess Dening stunned, and then guessed what he was thinking, and immediately walked up to him and said softly: "Husband, is you thinking about Shu'er again?" ”

"Or the lady knows my heart, Shu'er is so young, but we left him in the capital, and I don't know how he is doing now?" Wang Shiyue stretched out his hand to hold Princess Dening's little hand, and his face also showed a worried look, he and Princess Dening have a total of two sons and a daughter, of which the youngest son and eldest daughter came to Guangzhou with them, Shu'er is the oldest, but because of the reason to go to primary school, they were left in the capital, Wang Shiyue usually likes Shu'er the most, so he often misses.

"Husband, rest assured, the second sister and the third brother are both careful people, and they will definitely not let Shu'er be wronged, and Shu'er, as our eldest son, will inherit the family business in the future, so it is not possible to have no ability, it just so happens that the third brother is a well-known scholar in the capital, and the nobles are scrambling to send the child to him, plus the third brother likes Shu'er very much, so Shu'er follows the third brother, and we have nothing to worry about." Princess Dening comforted softly at this time, in fact, she didn't want her son, just for Shu'er to have a future career, she, a mother, had to be ruthless.

"Alas, having said that, I still can't rest assured in my heart, the truth will return to the capital as soon as possible!" Wang Shiyue also understood the above truths, but in the end, he still couldn't help but worry.

"Soon, the sea trade line is on the right track, in addition, we have already looked for a few capable stewards and big businessmen, and after the New Year, as long as the sea trade bank has nothing else to do, we are ready to return to Beijing!" Princess Dening spoke again, as a dignified princess of the Song Dynasty, she naturally can't live in Guangzhou because of the affairs of the sea trade line, as long as the sea trade line is running normally, then she can return to the capital to remotely control the operation of the sea trade line, as long as there is no mistake in the general direction.

When Wang Shiyue heard that he was going back, he was also very happy at the moment, and he just wanted to go out to prepare for going to Baiyun Mountain, but at this moment, suddenly a maid hurriedly sent a letter, but after Princess Dening read it, she couldn't help frowning, and finally said to Wang Shiyue with a wry smile: "Husband, it seems that we can't go back for the time being."
