Days are everlasting

Under the circumstances that both parties have a friendly relationship, Zhao Yun successfully hooked up with Tuo Lei, and called him brother and brother with the respect of the emperor.

Zhao Yun: My heart hurts so much!

Of course, this kind of address in private is different from the fact that after the emperors of the Song Dynasty ascended the throne, they had to call each other uncle and nephew with the ruler of the Jin Kingdom—in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom.

In the imperial palace of the Great Song Dynasty, there are a large number of poisons left. The most well-known one is the drug that Song Taizong used to bestow the posthumous master Li Yu. Of course, no matter what kind, there is no such thing as a blood seal. The terrible toxicity of the throat takes several hours to take effect at the shortest, and the weaker medicine needs to be poisoned for a long time.

The reason why he specifically mentioned Da Song's palace secret medicine is because Zhao Yun is already trying to attack Tuo Lei.

Calling Tuolei brothers and sisters doesn't mean he can't attack him!

The courts of the Song and Jin Dynasties had the best doctors. After all, their imperial physicians were well-established, and Zhao Yun did not have much confidence in the witch doctors on the Mongolian grasslands.

If you think about the cause of death of Tuo Lei in history, you will know what happened to drinking Fushui Daijun, no matter how you think about it, there is something wrong.

If the other aspects of Da Song were still normal, then the existence of such things as palace secret medicine must be super-level.

What should I do if something really goes wrong? Oh, he has a lot of opportunities to fight back.

Not to mention that Tuo Lei has always been with his father and often goes out to war. It is easy to have some accidents and push the matter to others. It is just that the Song Dynasty and Mongolia have not yet stepped into the tense state of confrontation. The two countries can still be regarded as Good friends, then why would Da Song attack Tuo Lei who wanted to win over for no reason?On the contrary, Wo Kuotai, who is afraid of dragging thunder, is more likely to do so.

If Tuo Lei finds out that he has been poisoned, he will inexplicably bear the blame for poisoning his younger brother: Excuseme?

In the imperial palace of the Song Dynasty, because all the officials in the past dynasties had few heirs, the concubines did not want to be like Renzong's concubine, who was treated coldly by the new emperor after her husband was childless and passed on to her nephew, and met in the deep palace with the queen mother in her later years Weeping and embracing, so few palace concubines would resort to any private means against the prince, but this does not mean that the harem is really peaceful.

To be reasonable, Zhao Yun didn't want to use this kind of harem method, but who made Mongolia a huge empire that swept across the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe in just a few decades. Although Song Dynasty has already started to work hard, there is a chance to weaken the enemy. He should also grasp it.

Lin'an City is picturesque, and the Royal Garden outside the palace city is even more beautiful. When Zhao Yun invited Tuo Lei to visit the garden, he saw the long-lasting amazement on Tuo Lei's face.

In fact, it would be easier to arouse their ambition to go south to conquer the Song Dynasty, Zhao Yun thought so.

When showing Tuo Lei the picturesque country of Song Dynasty, Zhao Yun did not forget to give him a psychological hint.

In addition to always using the term "Fourth Prince" to call him, Zhao Yun also expressed emotion to Tuo Lei about his miraculous experience.

From a moral point of view, Zhao Yun is not qualified to inherit the throne, but now Zhao Mian has become a corpse in the coffin, and the person in power on the dragon chair is Zhao Yun, which already explains the problem.

Compared with Zhao Yun, Tuo Lei's situation is much better.

He is the youngest son, and he has more inheritance rights than his brother Wo Kuotai, and his power is not weak. There are many people who support him.

What's more, this time he came to Da Song for exchanges, not only did he get the friendship of Da Song—although Zhao Yun was very suspicious that any of the neighboring countries on the edge of Da Song had no friendship with Da Song—he also got the friendship of Da Song. At the very least, the emperor Zhao Yun supported him.

Although the Central Plains is the eldest son inheritance system, the Mongolian grassland has always practiced "the youngest son guards the stove", so Zhao Yun seems to be maintaining the etiquette by doing this.

When Tuo Lei left, he took a large amount of tea bricks and salt with him. It didn't look like he was here to negotiate peace with Song Guo or other matters, but purely for trade.

Zhao Yun, who managed the business to Mongolia, smiled. The Great Song Dynasty provided the Kingdom of Jin with a large amount of old coins every year, but the increasingly extravagant life style of the nobles of the Kingdom of Jin obviously made them unable to be satisfied with this. Therefore, the relationship between the Kingdom of Jin and the Great Song Dynasty is There are trades, and there is also a horse market between Xixia and Xixia. If you add Mongolia, the scope of this business can be said to be quite large.

However, as an unscrupulous businessman, Zhao Yun asked his people to tamper with things quietly.

Well, the medicines that can't be seen on a single inspection, but will cause problems when mixed together, are really miraculous, even people with a little medical knowledge don't know it.

Speaking of this, he has to complain about the magical taste of tea soup in this era. It is obviously tea, but so many messy things are put into it to cook, even if it is not particular about taste, there have been situations like nobles chewing tea dry The prairie tribes were all infected, and they took the route of making tea and putting things away. No matter how you think, it's the pure tea made by later generations that tastes good!

But no matter what, people on the grassland also like to add goat's milk, horse's milk and other various things to their tea, which is still a good thing for Zhao Yun's dark hands.

In terms of the country's internal affairs, there are actually only a few problems that need to be solved. One is that the status of military commanders must be improved, and those civil servants who are slightly familiar with military affairs can no longer be used to command blindly. , The second is the national finance, and the third is the issue of redundant officials. As for the military strength, although it seems that the Song Dynasty is weak, the military strength is not weak, but there are very few cavalry. When it comes to critical moments, there are still people who can be used.

The Song Dynasty has always ruled the world with the literati, and the redundant officials are also members of the literati group. At this juncture, the abolition of the rare military generals is a dead end, and those yamen who have been sheltered because of the meritorious deeds of their fathers and ancestors are also. It is not the existence that Zhao Yun can do anything at will, let alone the civil servants. They are the group of people who most protect the interests of their own group. Pull out the carrot and bring out the mud. This is the status quo that Zhao Yun has to face now.

In fact, if the country's finances are sufficient, the pressure on the treasury from redundant officials is not too great. If Zhao Yun can defeat the Kingdom of Jin and even Mongolia in the future, regain the old land of the Song Dynasty, and expand the territory, the long-standing redundant officials will become His right-hand man, but the problem is that the national finances can hardly support the salaries of so many people.

The Song Dynasty has always implemented the system of high salaries and honesty. Even low-level officials, after entering the post, the salary they can get is beyond the reach of others. Moreover, although the status of military commanders in the court is not as high as that of civilian officials, they cannot interact with people at will. Compensation for them in terms of salaries, titles, etc. is even higher than that of civil officials. These people are a major expenditure of the Song Dynasty's finances.

Although the economy of the Song Dynasty was prosperous, the amount of old coins that needed to be tribute to the Kingdom of Jin was huge. In addition, Shi Miyuan, who had been alone for more than ten years, had implemented an inappropriate financial system. The legal currency implemented by the president is similar, forcing the people to exchange paper money with real gold and silver, and then printing and distributing them in large quantities, resulting in the depreciation of the paper money. In the end, a sack of money can’t even buy a piece of bread. There is no actual real gold and silver as the guarantee of the circulation of the Huizi, and in the end, the people are disappointed with the purchasing power of the Huizi, causing a large depreciation of the Huizi, and almost destroying the financial system of the Southern Song Dynasty. This is what Zhao Yun needs to face now situation.

If you have to give an example, the current situation in Dasong is like the bubble economy before the economic crisis. It looks like a false prosperity, but it doesn't know when it will burst.

But if you think about it the other way around, the situation is actually not that bad.

The foreign trade of the Song Dynasty was actually more frequent than that of the later Ming and Qing Dynasties. Even Zhao Yun, who came from a parallel world, often saw in the news that a shipwreck of the Song Dynasty was found somewhere in the coastal area, including some gold and silver jewelry, Song Dynasty porcelain, etc. How many antiques like that.

As a symbol of the Silk Kingdom and the Porcelain Kingdom, Song Dynasty has always had the habit of earning wealth through foreign trade, and what Zhao Yun has to do is to build on this foundation.

Whether to abolish redundant officials or expand foreign trade, haha, for those civil servants, there is no need to choose at all!

If someone objects, Zhao Yun just needs to cry poorly to his courtiers, and then express that he does not want to repeat the mistake of not being able to pay the salaries of the ministers when Emperor Gaozong just went to the south, and he does not want to abolish those who have worked so hard. A redundant official who has the opportunity to serve the country can perfectly shape the image of a good emperor.

Due to the arrival of Mongols in the court, the Jinhe faction and the Menghe faction were separated from the main peace faction. Like a big drama, it was very lively.

Zhao Yun, who started this big drama and did not hesitate to make the drama last longer in order to promote a group of loyal courtiers, watched silently. He is a good official and never took the initiative to demote others. After being caught, he just pushed the boat along!

Just when the Great Song Dynasty was constantly changing, news came from Xixia next door, saying that Genghis Khan Temujin died suddenly while conquering Xixia!

Calculating the time, it was found that it was a year earlier than in history, and because Temujin's sudden death seemed to have no obvious signs of injury, Zhao Yun expressed without guilt at all that it was probably the dark hands he had sent people that played a role.

Zhao Yun was actually not very satisfied with this result. Temujin was going to die anyway. It would be nice if he took his children and grandchildren away with him when he died. It's easy to get caught!

In any case, in order to avenge the Great Khan, the Mongols will continue to attack Xixia. According to their nature of eradicating other countries before encountering fierce resistance from the Song people, Xixia will probably be the same as in history. Completely slaughtered.

The Dangxiang clan is a foreign race. Zhao Yun, as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, has no feelings for them. He is just thinking that the confrontation between Xixia and Mongolia will definitely cause a lot of casualties. Secret weapons such as the plague may be used.

The author has something to say: The stupid author is like a salted fish who has lost his dream, ah, I want to finish this volume in a few chapters quickly
