Chapter 392: Really want to make mistakes

Zhao Xing's mind turned the gains and losses a little, and he nodded slightly, not expressing his permission or denial.

When the merchants saw Zhao Xing like this, they were overjoyed and bowed to thank him. Instead, they were looking forward to the sky: "Taiwei, since the fourth prince is the governor, will the Taiwei want to set up a manor here? Well, since the manor is set up, there must be some servants left. I don't know how many people the Taiwei plans to leave... It must be left with two or three hundred, which is safe."

Zhao Xing smiled and pointed at Yuan Yeping: "Yuan Promoter, two hundred people stayed."

The common interests are the most reliable alliance. For its own interests, Song Shang had to find a descendant of Zhao Xing to serve as the governor. Although this seemed naive, it was in line with the facts of ancient China. This support was the most stable support. Although Zhao Yun was young and did not have to visit the Danglu Branch in person, it can be believed that generations of people who operated the Danglu Branch business will surely pull the big banner of Zhao Shan to seek protection.

When Chen Buqun heard this, he broke his silence and clapped his hands and said, "Has you decided? Since we have decided, we can set off. I can leave ten warships, more than 300 sailors left behind, and there are not many other soldiers on the road. There are many slaves. I can train a slave soldier to assist us in the battle. It is rainy season now, and it is impossible to marches in this plateau during the rainy season. We still have a few months to train. Even if the situation is critical, the remaining navy will still have time to rush back to China to deliver letters.

As for us, the three armies have no desire to fight at this moment, it is better to transport the spoils back to the country as soon as possible... Don't worry, I took away a group of full wolves. When my Song Dynasty navy returns again, I will bring you a group of hungry wolves again, and they will be more greedy and fierce."

Zhao Xing stood up and immediately resumed the conversation: "Okay, except for the left-behind personnel, the rest of the soldiers immediately boarded the ship. The troops stood up one after another. Let's go back to Sri Lanka first."

Sinbada stopped Zhao Xing and begged: "Marson Marshal, please give this castle a name. We cannot always call it 'Karachi'. This is a castle with a completely Song-style style. It should have a Song-Nation name so that people on this land know its belonging."

Zhao Xing glanced over the map. On the map, there was a small bay on the east side of Karachi. According to the pronunciation of the locals, it marked with Karachi. Zhao Xing vaguely remembered that Karachi Bay was translated as "Kaizhi Bay" during the British colonial era - it began to govern. This name is very Song Dynasty and very Chinese.

Zhao Xing replied: "I named it "Kaizhicheng". From here to Kaizhiwan, it is all the trade corps of our Song State, which is called "Kaizhi exclusive economic corps."

Song Shang bowed together: "Kaizhi. This name is good, Lord Xie Taiwei gave it."

The next day, Zhao Xing boarded the Song army warship in the heavy rain, and the brigade of Song army began to evacuate from the silence branch. The military supplies that the Song army could not move were all packaged and sold to the Song merchants who remained in the local area. In this battle, the Song army showed strong attack ability, and used its specific strength to show that the Song army had the horror of attacking the king capital of the small country at any time and could easily conquer it. Then, it showed everyone that they had no territorial ambitions and just wanted to find a piece of land to set up stalls to do business...

The impact of this battle was huge. The neighboring Arabs knew the power of the Song army and began to face up to the agreement to share the market with the Song army. At the same time, the surrounding countries were both afraid of the attack power of the Song army, and understood that this group of people were just businessmen who were determined to do business. They began to spontaneously restrain the people in the country and prohibit them from robbing the Song Shang land team. In this atmosphere, the power of the Song Shang Shang began to quietly expand.

In September of that year, at the end of the rainy season, Zhao Xing arrived in Sri Lanka after a difficult journey. The powerful Song army defeated the vicious Seljuks. The record of returning home with a lot of results shocked the Indian Red Continent. The forces of Zhunian Kingdom began to bow to the Song merchants on the Jaffna Peninsula, seeking compromise. With the support of the Song army, Sri Lanka announced that it would leave the Three Buddhas, rename the Song Dynasty as its sect leader, and pay taxes to the Song Dynasty.

Although this decision disappointed the Three Buddhas, they did not dare to issue objections in front of the powerful Song army, so they had to silently endure this tone. The victory of the Song army also made the countries of the South China Sea begin to pay attention to the firearms used by the Song army. A Far East army had weapons similar to Thor. This news was passed down by the South China Sea countries, and soon the warring crusaders were introduced to Jerusalem. At this time, Deng Yufu, who was in Jerusalem, was free. The Crusaders sent a group of monks to escort him south along the Seljuk land country, looking for opportunities to contact the Song people.

In mid-September, the Song army fleet entered the Lion City. At this time, the storm season came, and the Song army had to rest in the Lion City and wait for the storm to pass. Chen Buqun looked at the east in the wind and rain, and calculated with his fingers: "Teacher, we have been out for a year. In a year, we have also conquered several countries along the way. Such achievements can be repeated in history."

The rain in Nanyang started to look like a waterfall. Zhao Xing sat upright in the house, looking at the rain curtain outside the window, and said calmly: "You are only in your twenties, why do you need so much credit? Do you want to have idle meals in the future and do nothing?"

Chen Buqun thought for a while and replied depressedly: "That's right, I don't care. I'm just a minor official in the past rank, and I'm on the route of a military general. But the teacher has made great contributions now and has no rewards. Can the teacher continue to be an official after he goes back this time?"

Zhao Xing replied expressionlessly: "So we should make some mistakes..."

Chen Buqun sighed: "Shu, Shu, teacher, why did you say you are doing so many books this time? People want to fill the cabin with gold, silver and treasures, but the teacher has 200,000 books. Books, isn't this "lose"? The intention is not good."

Zhao Xing glanced: "Sir, you are ignorant, you are simply exaggerating the power of language. This is the deception of fortune tellers. They think that language has a magical effect like a spell, and there must be a common relationship between words and words with the same pronunciation. Therefore, one word can measure the good and bad luck in life - stupidity!

What does 'book' have to do with winning or losing? You have to consider it from a homophone point of view. If I think it is taboo for me to carry these books, it is better to call those books 'book'. This is what the British call books. Using this pronunciation instead of books should have nothing to do with winning or losing."

"'book' - Isn't this saying 'no'? 'No book can be used', why didn't the teacher say it earlier?" Chen Buqun actually had no interest in calculating characters based on homophones, and just to pass the boring time, he continued to nag.

Zhao Xing laughed: "In my opinion, my greatest wealth is your students. Only with you students can I accomplish great things. This also shows that knowledge is the most powerful force.

This time, we captured five or six thousand Arab scholars and transported back 200,000 books of Arab books. I planned to put these prisoners in academies to teach. If the academies could not be put down, I would send them to medical centers. Free hospitals in various places in the southeast would be expanded - 5,000 people, scattered in various academies, medical centers, and workshops, which could teach me tens of thousands of students and apprentices, and could also treat hundreds of thousands of people.

In this way, there will be more than one million people in the world who benefit me. This will be my greatest treasure in the future. Compared with this, do I still care about tangible gold and silver treasures? Do you lack those little money? As long as these books are safely transported back to China, the power they burst out will be unimaginable and uncommon. Take care of my books carefully, my ‘book(no)’.”

After a while, Chen Buqun asked suddenly: "Teacher, why is Yuan Yeping the one who returns to China in advance, not others?"

Zhao Xing stopped moving his hands, raised his eyes and looked at Chen Buqun without answering.

Zhao Xing's students are not confused people. Many people are even better than Zhao Xing in official planning. Chen Buqun saw Zhao Xing not speaking. After hesitating for a while, hesitating carefully: "Teacher, do you really think we need to prepare a way out for Nanyang?"

Zhao Xing still didn't speak, looking at Chen Buqun with inquiring eyes. Chen Buqun smiled awkwardly and replied: "For many years, I have become accustomed to the way teachers do things. The teacher never does useless work. This time, the entire fleet was stranded in Sri Lanka, but the teacher asked some fleets to return to China braved the storm. I couldn't help but speculate, what is the purpose of the teacher doing this?

Yuanye couldn't hide anything from others. In the Banglu Branch, he began to organize a team of sentry detectives. Although due to the language habits and the customs and habits that were too different, he did not do much in the Banglu Branch, but I knew that I could tell from his organizational techniques that he actually organized a team of secret spies targeting the country. The teacher often said that one prospers and one prospered, and one lost the team consciousness. So I thought, if the teacher had any deep meaning, could I run away from the ground? Can we, the students, be safe?"

Chen Buqun took a few breaths and continued to add: "For the past few days, I have been speculating on the teacher's purpose. The teacher stayed in this place, but had to send a secret spy team to inquire about the news back to China for the purpose. At first, I thought, it might be that the teacher went abroad privately to fight against the storm, worried that there might be changes in the middle school in the country this year. But I also thought, is the teacher's purpose only?

This time, we captured several princes in the Bangluzhi. However, these princes have paid the ransom and left behind some things like protons or scapegoats. The prince and the merchants of the Bangluzhi asked the fourth son to be the governor, but the teacher actually agreed, which made me suddenly enlightened.

It turned out that the teacher was always working on the back of the road, but it turned out that the teacher was thinking that he would not do anything and stay overseas. It turned out that the teacher stayed on this island to watch something happening in the middle school. I guess that if there were changes that the teacher didn’t want to see in the middle school, maybe the teacher would not plan to go back...

But, teacher, have you ever thought about our students? We are all your followers, following you from the court to travel thousands of miles to fight overseas. The ancients said that not returning home without wealth is like walking in a night of luxury. Now we have made a lot of money in foreign wars. It is a good time to return home with glory. The teacher stays overseas and depends on watching. Can we students go back if the teacher doesn’t go back? - One prospers and one loss will bring both prosperity and one loss!"

Zhao Xing stood up, walked around the house with his hands behind his back, and said thoughtfully: "The situation in the court is unpredictable. This time I sent troops overseas privately, which violated many bans in the court, but these are not what I worry about. What I worry about is the "inevitability of history."

You don’t know how powerful the power of destruction is, the government and Cai Jing, because this power of destruction is implemented by the imperial power, and we cannot resist the imperial power unless...

The reason why I was in a hurry to go to Southeast Asia is because time is tight, and it is also because now is the best time to go to Southeast Asia. If we miss this opportunity, we will not have another chance. Even if we wait for a thousand years, we cannot find such a good opportunity. We cannot miss this opportunity, so I hurriedly sent troops without stabilizing the mainland.

When I was in Nanyang, I often thought about this. The Arabs were afraid of fighting on both sides, but we were also fighting on both sides. We had to face powerful foreign enemies and fight against the desire to destroy the country. This power of destruction was not something we could resist. Fortunately, this era was not far from the Renzong period, and we could still bring it back to the gentleman politics of the Renzong era. So I arranged the Hangzhou Party and the Jiangxi delegation went to the court to fight for power, and went overseas to cause accidents with them.

However, I am always worried about the domestic situation and I am worried that we cannot control the changes in the situation in the middle school. In this way, we will have to stay away from overseas to survive - this is the worst outcome, but we have to prepare."

Chen Buqun pondered for a moment and said, "The teacher just said he was going to make a mistake. But now we have any mistakes to make and what mistakes can compensate us for the destruction of the country."

Zhao Xing returned to the table, picked up his brush and outlined the map of the South China Sea on the table. After drawing, he picked up his pen and drew a large circle along the entire southern ocean. He slowly pointed to the islands on the map almost word by word and said: "Little Liuqiu, Boni, Sanfoqi, Jinlan, Jiaozhi, plus Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and Mingzhou, this is our new territory and the first circle of defense on our sea. The outer ring of these islands makes the sea where the island is located a pond and backyard of my Song Dynasty. According to the agreement with Arabia, this sea area trade is exclusively for us."

Zhao Xing's brush jumped and outlined the terrain west of Sanfoqi, continued to point out the islands, saying: "Our agreement with the Arabs also includes this Indian Ocean. Originally, trade in the Indian Ocean was monopolized by the Arabs, and Song merchants could only sell goods to them and transfer them to purchase goods from them. But now, in this sea area, Song merchants also have the right to purchase directly from the private sector. Because of this direct purchase right, I believe that Song merchants' profits can increase by 30%.

Zhao Xing pointed his brush at the sluice branch and said proudly: "This year, our trip to the expedition has opened up a trade route directly to Europe. As long as the trade route is maintained in the past few years, our tax revenue will not be reduced. With a huge amount of overseas business taxes, it will be enough to support me in making the necessary changes."

Chen Buqun walked to the table and pointed at the area near the island chain drawn by Zhao Xing, asking: "Teacher, don't forget that there are three islands near Boni, Sanfoqi near Lion City, Zhunian Kingdom near Sri Lanka, and Arabia near the Binglu Branch...

There are hostile guys near all our locations. The teacher’s layout in the Southeast Asian country made me very confused now. These chess pieces seem to be solitaires in Go. They want to connect the chess into one. It seems that the military affairs will continue from now on and there will never be a chance to stop. I am quite puzzled?"

After Chen Buqun finished speaking, he walked aside and stopped talking. Zhao Xing smiled and added: "I know what you want to say. You want to say that I 'raise to respect myself'. That's right, I'm planning. Chinese people like comfort too much and don't leave some enemies for them. How can we have reason to maintain a huge fleet of earth?"

Chen Buqun answered the question in his heart without any hesitation when he saw Zhao Xing. He felt Zhao Xing's trust, and quickly jumped back to Yuan Yeping without hesitation: "Teacher, Yuan Gongguan brought back hundreds of people. Do you think he can bring us the news we need?"

Zhao Xing nodded: "It must be! The court has no sense of confidentiality, and most of the top secrets in the court will be published in the palace newspaper. As long as they look through the palace newspaper, they can find the changes in this year, and then investigate the behind-the-scenes news of these changes. All the changes in this year will be clear."

What happened this year?

In addition to the two ministers' positions, Fan E had three sons who passed the Jinshi. One son went to the local area to serve as the ninth rank judge, and the other two sons went to the Northern Affairs Bureau to help the court establish the "Beihai Fleet". At the same time, Lu Huiqing was born in the past and Zhang Dun died of illness in Leizhou - this is a good aspect.

On the bad side, this year was a disaster. In the early days of Zhao Xing's return to China, Su Che finally followed his brother's footsteps and passed away. Immediately afterwards, two accountants of the Song Dynasty, Fan E and Li Chang, also died one after another. Among the three, Su Che only served as the right servant for more than 20 days. Therefore, the ministers in the court called him "Yixian Gong" and the rest passed away as men.

After Su Che's death, the phase was empty. The old party suffered more than ten years of persecution. The work of cultivating talents stagnated and a talent gap was formed. They could not recommend corresponding leaders. The Shu Party, Luo Party, and Guan Party were busy integrating resources. Among them, the outstanding ones such as Huang Tingjian and Zhang Lei, were far inferior to Cai Jing's qualifications.

In contrast, no matter what, Cai Jing said, he served as the prefect of Kaifeng and served several provincial officials. Therefore, Cai Jing inevitably took office. He was ranked alongside Zhang Shangying as the left and right prime ministers. Later, Zhou Bangyan and Huang Tingjian replaced him as the Hanlin Chengzhi, the official (the chief editor who helped the emperor write the edict).

Huang Tingjian's promotion also means that his fate has changed. In the original history, Huang Tingjian was summoned by officials who were still exiled by Song Huizong, and Huang Tingjian was summoned to take office. Before Zhao Tingzhi's old hatred had not yet faded, he instigated officials in Hubei to pick out the sentences in "The Record of Chengtian Temple Tower" written by Huang Tingjian for a temple in Jingnan, and accused him of "slandering the court". Therefore, Huang Tingjian suffered literary inquisition and was highly demoted to Yizhou. He died in the border wasteland.

But now, because Zhao Xing killed Zhao Tingzhi, Huang Tingjian's fate has changed.

However, since the new prime minister Zhang Shangying is a flatterer, he has been immersed in Buddhism and metaphysics and is dedicated to tolerance. In this way, the court will inevitably become a "one-man show".

Of course, this kind of one-man rule is still beneficial to Zhao Xing. Cai Jing is Zhao Xing's business partner. Zhao Xing is devoted to local affairs and seems not to threaten Cai Jing's power in the short term, so Cai Jing supports it and even indulges Zhao Xing to turn his attention overseas.

On the part of the little emperor, Zhao Xing continuously sent him huge amounts of land coins and overseas treasures for him to spend. He also made the little emperor protect him more. Therefore, the Nanyang Affairs Bureau's prosecutor, after taking office for a year, did not stay in the yamen, but ran around the world. Such a rebellious behavior was suppressed by the joint efforts of the monarch and his ministers. No one even mentioned it.

However, this indulgence has no effect on Zhao Xing's reward plan. The court still cannot make a decision. This has become a major problem for the Song court so far. Cai Jing, who was proud of himself, could not think of a proper solution. He had to adopt the tactic of delay, thinking about waiting for the matter to get angry before thinking about a solution.

On this day, Cai Jing was invited to the Guangnan Business Hall to attend the inauguration ceremony. After two years of construction, the large-scale Guangnan Association Hall was finally close to completion. Perhaps by chance, this Guangnan Association Hall happened to be opposite Genyue.

The buildings designed by Zhao Xing naturally have a strong Zhao Xing color. People in the Song Dynasty knew this feature - castle. Zhao Xing liked to build his home like a military fortress, and this Guangnan Guild Hall also adhered to this feature.

The ancients liked to be square when building cities, but the castle built by Zhao Xing was crooked. The reason for the external explanation was that the land purchased was limited, which led to the building complex being built in this way because the entire building complex looked like an eight-clawed spider. Therefore, although the merchants in Guangnan gave this complex an extremely elegant name, people in the capital liked to call it "Spider Building".

The outer periphery of the complex is sixteen towers, and the tower is connected by tall arches and arches. A small garden is stuffed into the gap between each two buildings, and each small garden has its own characteristic plants. These gardens and the cluster of buildings form the periphery of the guild hall.

The buildings designed by Zhao Xing are also another feature. These sixteen buildings have different functions, including brothels, restaurants, teahouses, and sumo wrestling rooms, but half of them are hotels for entertaining businessmen and students.

Between these unique entertainment facilities, a tall tower office building is surrounded by a hall of the National People's Republic of China, with more than 10,000 counters for merchants from all over the country to sell their goods here. Because of the existence of the hall of the National People's Republic of China, this building complex became a famous shopping place in Bianliang City, Tokyo during its trial operation.

Cai Jing also has his own shop in the Wanguo Hall. This shop is run by his family and mainly sells real gems and jewelry made with Zhao Xing and fake antiques. Because of this layer, the Guangnan businessman invited him to attend the official unveiling ceremony.

On the temporary stage, the music in the capital was performing hard. The stage was waving and the noise was extremely noisy. In the hustle and bustle of gongs and drums, Ma Mengde's son Ma Xi approached Cai Jing and whispered: "Cai Xiang, how about the apple plant in Shaanxi?"

Cai Jing stared at the performance on the stage and replied softly without looking back: "It is said that the apples in Shaanxi have not yet become forests, but the court has been in peace for a long time. The branches are as bows and arrows, and it seems that they cannot be sold. The fruits are sour and astringent, and they are not very delicious. The people of Shaanxi are planning to cut down forests and turn them into fields. Some local officials have submitted a report to change forests into fields. The court is discussing."

Ma Xi whispered: "Cai Xiang, the Taiwei has written from overseas."
