Chapter 470 I don't play anymore (finale)(2/2)
The official stopped talking, and after a long time, he said, "I remember that although the country's financial income had increased, Xining opened its borders and used up all the money."
"Okay, 'Reform is for the people' - if the people are asked to hand over the money and let the people endure temporary pain, it is forgivable to spend the money on the people again, but it is spent on foreign wars... I am not saying that it is not good to launch a foreign war, because I am the biggest war dealer in the Song Dynasty.
However, what benefits does this war have to the country and what benefits does it have to the people? In my opinion, it is just an image project. It has spent the treasury and exhausted the people. It has captured a place but cannot be defended. It turned around and handed over to the local Hu people to bind autonomy, and then threw it away again - what did those Hu people do for Xining and the people of the Song Dynasty? To hand over the victory to them?
That rule breaker is definitely an absolute pig, not even defending his own victory. Isn’t such a person a disaster for our dynasty?”
What Zhao Xing said is definitely the view of the Su School. The hopelessly optimistic Su Shi's view of the Su Shi was not so intense, because Su Shi lived in the world and only focused on his stupidity. No matter how evil the situation was, he could enjoy himself. Therefore, Su Shi's view was full of Zen flavor and had no complaints at all. His younger brother Su Che was much more clear-cut, but Su Che was a little too intense, and he accused Wang Anshi of being a great traitor. This was a bit too excessive. Zhao Xing believed that Wang Anshi was at most an intellectually retarded person, and he could not even maintain the fruit of victory, so he could not have the IQ of being a "big traitor".
This irrational husband who was stubborn was just a pig, but he was the king of pigs and taught a group of pigs. However, people could not debate with pigs. Zhao Xing had finished his words and waved his hand to order: "Get back."
The official wanted to debate, but other officials had already come up and set up the official to whisper: "The Taishi has a bad temper. Have you seen the Taishi always have a gloomy face? I heard that the Taishi slaughtered several cities in Xixia and was about to be killed and was recalled by the court. You think, the Taishi carries the blood evil spirit of tens of thousands of people on his body. It is not a good thing for Brother Tai to hit his knife. If you continue the debate, if Brother Tai may be confused by the blood evil spirit, go quickly, go quickly."
After reminding these officials who were persuaded, everyone remembered that Zhao Xingcai returned from the sea of blood. He didn't even think about it. When they thought of this, everyone immediately felt that the cold wind around them swayed and the yin energy was so swaying. So everyone's expressions became stiff and their tongues were no longer flexible... The following banquet was boring.
After lingering for a few days, Zhao Xing boarded the ship again. This time he was on a large ship that entered the Yellow River. At this time, Zhao Xing was only some of his close guards left. Other officials who were welcoming and seeing him could not get used to the sea boat and planned to go to the capital by land, so he parted ways with Zhao Xing on the edge of the Yellow River.
No matter what, Shuai Fan climbed onto Zhao Xing's boat, stood at the bow and stretched, murmured: "It's still our Nanyang Yamen who sat comfortably. I just don't know if the water of the Yellow River can carry this giant Zhou to Bianliang... Wait, stop the boat, the direction is wrong, stop the boat!"
No one on the boat followed Shuai Fan's orders. Shuai Fan thought for a while, but he was not furious and quietly returned to the cabin to ask Zhao Xing: "Trial Master, where is this?"
Zhao Xing raised his eyebrows: "Everyone in the world can go."
Shuai Fan couldn't believe it, so he asked for a sentence: "We won't go back to the capital?"
Zhao Xing replied lazily: "Yang Liuban, Xiaofeng and Xiaoyue - this seems not suitable for me. To be honest, I am tired and I am really tired of fighting with them every day. I want to find a territory that belongs to me, a territory that I can decide on myself. In this way, the rewards from the government are just right. The "feudal king" belongs to me completely. Being a small lord is beautiful even though it is overseas."
Shuai Fan was anxious: "Taishi, what's the matter with Danluo Island? Although it's large in area, there is a lack of water sources and it can't feed many people. Although there is the best ranch, if there is no restrained grazing, the pasture will become a desert in a few years. I was thinking all the way that the government would not regret it at all. This is not a reward for us. The Taishi should firmly refuse.
There are so many small islands in Nanyang, with abundant resources. Even if we cannot refuse the reward of the land, we should not ask for the Danluo Island, which has poor minerals and extremely scarce water sources..."
Zhao Xing laughed: "If you walk on the road and suddenly fall, don't think that what trips you is an insurmountable boulder, so you have to change the way - it may be just a small stone."
Seeing that Shuai Fan didn't understand, Zhao Xing further explained: "Have you heard of the four most powerful maritime countries in the West? There is a country called Venice, which is an isolated island floating on the sea. When you open the window, you can see the sea water. Not to mention the land for planting food, even the fresh water they drink must be transported from outside. However, their hegemony lasted longer than the establishment of the entire Song Dynasty - I don't plan to take care of the dynasty's reincarnation anymore. I have completed my mission. If my family can exist a dynasty on that island for so long, what else can I regret?"
Shuai Fan shouted loudly: "How can the Taishi ignore it? The situation in the court is as dangerous as the three parties in the court are tense. Tong Guan wanted the Jurchens to jointly destroy the Liao Dynasty. The ministers of the court did not know what Xinyi was. Everyone was so angry that the military achievements were all over the country. The Taishi was going to leave the country at this time..."
Zhao Xing smiled and replied: "After I die, no matter how much floods are involved."
Seeing Shuai Fan's incomprehensible eyes, Zhao Xing explained: "Let's relax, the situation is not as serious as you imagined - you are right, I can't go to the capital, I can't place my destiny on luck, and on the mercy of others. I make the decision on my destiny, so I plan to go directly to Danluo Island to take the vassal.
That's right, the court ministers are suspicious of me, so why should I hide my good worries? Since it's apart, I might as well leave. As long as I leave, the court will pretend to be confused and vigorously commend my achievements. I dare not mobilize Shaanxi soldiers too early. In this way, no matter how bad the situation worsens, the Qin soldiers are still there and the Nanyang Yamen are still there, we will have the strength to save the situation.
Danluo Island is not good, I know that, but it is located in the center of the four countries. Whether it is going to Liao, Goryeo, Japan, or the Song Dynasty, it has to pass through this sea area. It is really a hub for maritime trade. If this place is in the hands of others, it may not be managed. If it is in my hands, it will be different. As long as the Song Dynasty admits its fining of me, my fleet can freely travel to and from the four countries. Isn't that good?
I have been working hard for so many years, but I am just making wedding clothes for others. Now that I have the land to decide my own way, why don’t I leave quickly? Am I stupid?
Besides, the Song Dynasty has changed a lot, and in general, it is getting better. I have contributed my efforts to this. I am worthy of it. Now is the time for me to enjoy it. Let’s go. The boat arrives at Shandong territory. I will put you down and report to the court.”
Shuai Fan, this celebrity who walked into the mountains in normal history and was unknown to the end, thought for a while and immediately replied: "Hide in the small building to watch the sun and the moon, and care about the Qin, Han and Tang dynasties outside the building - I will follow you, and you will not suffer any loss. Since I decided not to care about the affairs of the court, who cares about it?!"
Later, the court newspaper reported the following news: Zhao Xing, the hero of the destruction of Xia, was rushing to the capital, and the fleet suddenly encountered a strong wind and deviated from its course. The wind stopped and saw a small island, and landed on ashore to ask the fisherman, and found that this island happened to be the fiefdom of the official rewarded Zhao Xing. So the master said, "This is the god who sent me here." So he decided to go directly to the vassal.
