Zhao Shu found an excuse and hurriedly left the harem and came to the imperial study, now the six officials of the imperial court are waiting for Zhao Shu's arrival here, although Liaodi was ceded by the Jurchens, but these places have just experienced war, and when the Jurchens left, the deliberate destruction made this place even more dilapidated.

If you want to assume that it is very expensive here, especially if the people in it are not attached, it will be even more difficult to govern.

When Zhao Shu arrived, Jiang Kui, Su Zhiyuan, and the six officials of the imperial court immediately rushed up, and the current affairs made them a little anxious.

Zhao Shu looked at these people and couldn't help laughing: "What's wrong with you Aiqing? ā€

"Your Majesty, we are really anxious, the infrastructure of Liaodi is seriously damaged, the people are tired, I am afraid it will take a few years to recover, now the distribution of officials, the migration of the people are important things, and the officials with qualifications are not willing to go there, and now there are only some stunned young people clamoring to go!"

Jiang Kui also complained with a face, these things are trivial, but also very important, if you are not careful, the area that you have just arrived in will become a hot potato, and it will become a disaster in the Great Song Dynasty.

After Jiang Kui's complaint, Su Zhiyuan also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, although a large number of troops and logistics young people have returned to their residences, they have missed the spring ploughing, and some wounded and battle-fallen soldiers need to be appeased, which requires a lot of money and grain, so Wechen hopes to increase the mining of Fusang silver and transport more grain from the south of Jiaozhi, and at the same time, Wechen hopes to exchange the New Year's coins of Goryeo, Western Chu and Western Xia for grain and grass and other materials." ā€

Su Zhiyuan reported in detail, with a little worry on his face, it is gratifying to get Liaodi, but this year's taxes in Liaodi will definitely not be collected, and a large amount of taxes will be spent to build these places and completely bring them into the rule.

Hearing this, Zhao Shu nodded and said: "Fusang's mining efforts have increased, and the New Year's coins and other items have also been replaced with grain and grass materials, and in the future, the New Year's Coins will not accept silver, only copper coins and gold, lest I have too much silver in the Great Song Dynasty, which will lead to a decrease in the price of silver, and at the same time the cabinet will buy grain and other items from the Quartet, and say to the Ministry of Commerce that the commercial tax in Liaodi will be reduced by half, and merchants will be encouraged to go to Liaodi." ā€

Zhao Shu is also worried about this matter, but Liaodi must be controlled in his hands, because this is the homeland of the Han people, and more importantly, it is a strategic place to control the grassland.

After everyone heard Zhao Shu's words, they also put forward their opinions and perfected these things, now that the army is about to return, many things need to be cleaned, especially those injured soldiers need to be appeased, and spring plowing in various places also needs to be carried out.

After discussing these things, it was already evening, and the ministers left one after another, leaving only Jiang Kui standing still, which made Zhao Shu a little strange, and couldn't help laughing: "Does Baishi have anything to say?"

Jiang Kui looked at Zhao Shu and looked a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, he still said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the star girl of the Star God Sect in the Western Regions has returned, I don't know how Your Majesty will place this girl?"

Zhao Shu looked at Jiang Kui, and said with a little doubt on his face: "Why does Baishi suddenly care about this matter?"

"This time the star girl came with the envoys of Western Liao, and the cabinet wants to know how to treat them?" When Jiang Kui said, Zhao Shu walked down from the throne with a smile and said: "Treat it differently, the star girl has something to do when she returns to Yanjing, you don't have to care, just concentrate on negotiating with the envoys of Western Liao, and don't pay attention to other things!"

When Jiang Kui heard this, he nodded, but he didn't mean to leave, so Zhao Shu smiled: "If there is anything in Baishi, just say it directly!"

"Your Majesty, has Zong Zhengsi already drawn up a famous plate for the Star Maiden?" Jiang Kui looked at Zhao Shu and asked solemnly.

Zhao Shu nodded, looking at Jiang Kui, wanting to know what he was going to say, could it be that the courtiers had any opinion on this matter.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a word to play, Your Majesty is rich all over the world, but the affairs of the harem must be treated with caution, and now most of the concubines in the harem are from the ancient gods and religions, which is not conducive to the growth of the prince in the future!"

Jiang Kui was a little worried, since the birth of the eldest princess, some royal families in the Western Xia were inclined to the eldest princess and sent envoys to live in Yanjing, and some Western Xia people came to the Great Song Dynasty to serve as officials of the Great Song Dynasty, because these people all understood that the trend of the fall of the Western Xia was inevitable.

In addition to these secular forces, after Xuannu served as the high priest, she slowly gathered some idle gods, these gods were not strong enough, most of them became mountain spirits and wild monsters, and they were on the list of gods, but now they are also around Xuannu and support the eldest princess.

These forces are now controlled by His Majesty, which is a benefit to the Great Song Dynasty, and even the eldest princess does not have to worry at all, because it is difficult for women to compete for the throne, but these things of the eldest princess have aroused the vigilance of the harem concubines and began to strive for support, and the forces behind these concubines are slowly dividing and co-opting.

Zong Yun'er has the support of officials from the Bianliang family, and also has the support of some southern scholars and some generals, the Yin family was the first to follow Zhao Shu, some of the children of the family entered the military, and some were in the secret department of the Great Song Dynasty, they are also deeply rooted in the south, and there is also the support of a large number of officials, Tianxiang Nu naturally needless to say, there is a creator-level master support, if this star girl also returns, behind him is the entire Star God Sect and the Western Regions.

Although the current situation is very good, but these signs and trends make Jiang Kui and these old ministers more and more worried, although Zong Ze knows the pros and cons, but his daughter is a harem concubine, plus the blood is pure, Li Gang and others are firm supporters, as long as he gives birth to a prince, those imperial envoys will play the crown prince, these things make Jiang Kui have to remind Zhao Shu.

Zhao Shu glanced at Jiang Kui and said with a faint smile: "I know, Baishi doesn't have to worry about these things!"

Hearing Zhao Shu's words, Jiang Kui stopped speaking, he just wanted to remind His Majesty, but he didn't dare to interfere too much, bowed down and said goodbye at the moment, watching Jiang Kui leave, Zhao Shu also had a simple understanding of the attitude of the courtiers, but he felt that this matter was too early to think, and it was most important to solve the matter in front of him at the moment.

It's just that after night fell, the maids of Tianxiang Palace sent a few female officials to urge Zhao Shu to go, which made Zhao Shu smile bitterly, this kind of glamorous blessing made Zhao Shu both happy and distressed, just as Jiang Kui was worried about, the affairs of the harem have gradually implicated the government, and he must find a way to stop it.

But now Zhao Shu has to go to Tianxiang Palace.

When Zhao Shu was enjoying the blessings, the star girl had already come to Yanjing with the envoys of Western Liao, looking at this city, the star girl was full of emotion, looked at the huge city tower, and said lightly: "I'm back!"

Yeluwan looked at the increasingly prosperous Yanjing neighborhood, and was also full of emotion, they grew up here back then, but now it has become the land of the Great Song Dynasty.

After the star girl and Yeluwan entered Yanjing, Yeluwan entered the embassy, and the star girl directly entered another embassy, and the female guards who followed guarded the entire embassy firmly. (To be continued.) )
