Su Che, Zhang Shangying and Zheng Juzhong were well-known. When they stepped into Chongzheng Hall, there were already two civil and one martial artists standing in the hall. The two civilians were Zhang Shuye, the commander of the military commander of the military commander of the sea route, who entered Beijing to report his duties, and the military was Wang Bing, who was in charge of the infantry school.

After Wu Haogu left the position of Du Junji Commander, Zhang Shuye and Wang Bing became the two leaders of the Du Junji Commander. Among them, Zhang Shuye was responsible for dealing with all aspects, including Zhao Ji, the emperor. Wang Bing was in charge of the daily affairs of the Du Junji Commander. The two of them could also be regarded as being from the Military Academy of the Privy Council in the early years. Wang Bing also followed Murong Wangyou in charge of the teaching of the Military Academy throughout the whole process, and later participated in the "Battle of Palmizing Xia" (the Battle of Palmizing Xixia) with Gao Qiu and Wu Haogu.

The two of them were very familiar with the new military science. However, in recent years, the new military science has become more and more complex, and a large amount of knowledge about mathematics, morphology, surveying and mapping, essays and Confucianism (mainly the principles of nature, empiricality, rationality, etc.). In particular, the Knights Academy and the Naval Academy were deeply influenced by the Umtai Academy and actually became the junior colleges of the Umtai Academy. The basic courses taught are the same as other colleges of the Umtai Academy!

Such changes made Zhang Shuye and Wang Bing feel very uncomfortable. They both thought it was completely unnecessary and even had a great negative effect. Because military officers from the Knight Academy and the Naval Academy were very knowledgeable, they were a little arrogant and even looked down on the noble civil servants. They believed that civil servants were not as knowledge as them, and some of them had bad tempers and even had disputes with the military supervisors sent by the Privy Council or the palace, which had a very bad impact.

By the way, after the Privy Council obtained the power of military supervision, Zhao Ji did not give up the system of internal officials and military supervision, but divided the territory of the military supervision censor and military supervision officer. Among them, the Hebei Army, the Navy, and the six southeastern imperial guards were the military supervision officers. The Northwest Army, Shaanxi Army, Hedong Army and the Jingji Army were sent by the Privy Council to supervise each other.

In addition, the military supervisors of the Privy Council and the inner court did not really send the imperial guards or new troops at the level of the "ministerial level". Because no civil servants and eunuchs are willing to go to such low-level grassroots, let alone the "minister", no one is willing to go to the level of the "general". Therefore, the military supervisors were sent to the level of the comforting envoy and the prefecture army. Not all the comforting envoys have military supervisors. Only the front-line comforting envoys, and the Jingji Army, and the Jingji Army, have military supervisors.

However, the conflict between officers from the Knight Academy and the military commander of the Cultural and Institutional Supervisor still made Zhang Shuye and Wang Bing very troubled. After all, this matter was challenging the existing political structure of the Song Dynasty! So after both of them took charge of the Du Junmaster Division, they began to clean up the students of the Knight Academy. Not only did they clean up all the students of the Knight Academy in the Du Junmaster Division, but they also gradually cleaned up the students of the Knight Academy in the Model New Army, and replaced them with students of the Kaifeng Infantry School. In contrast to the teaching concept of gradually "elitalization" of the Knight Academy and the Naval Academy, the Kaifeng Infantry Academy under the leadership of Wang Bing gave up the Knight Academy version of the course, and then compiled a set of easier-to-master courses based on the original Privy Council Military Academy Department, and at the same time shortened the school's academic system from the first three years to two years.

The students of the Knight Academy who were cleaned were sent to Hebei Xuanfu Division to serve in the name of training cavalry. For this reason, Zhang Shuye and Wang Bing also dug up the idea of ​​"engineering cavalry generals in the land where horses are produced in Jiehe". They asked the order to instruct Hebei Xuanfu Division to organize one or two cavalry generals to be the backbone of the Northern Expedition of Yanyun in the future. Of course, this also means appeaseing Wuhaoguhe Jiehe Knight Academy.

This seems to be mixed, but is actually creating an arrangement for the faction in the military, which also makes Zhao Ji very satisfied that the court not only needs to stir up different opinions, but also needs "different opinions" in the military, so that people can feel relieved.

Therefore, Zhang Shuye and Wang Bing were regarded as confidant ministers by Zhao Ji. Zhang Shuye was awarded the title of Jinshi not long ago, and Wang Bing's official position was promoted to the Jiedu Hou.

During this period, Wu Haowen was busy with the construction of Nanpi Xincheng Town, a new capital in Cangzhou. His sea route coach was emptied by his brother, but the affairs of Cangzhou were real. Moreover, he was somewhat influenced by Wu Haogu, and knew that if Cangzhou wanted to develop, it was inseparable from industry and commerce. So after taking office, he formulated a plan to move the prefecture to Nanpi County where the Yellow River and the Yongji Canal converge (Northern Canal), and build a commercial town at the intersection of the Yellow River and the Yongji Canal as a Cangzhou District.

At the same time, Wu Haowen also used the name of "preparing for war" to intercept some funds provided to the Dujunjimai Department to build stone roads in Cangzhou. Since the opening of Jiehe Commercial City and the imperial court has placed a large number of knight manors in Cangzhou, Cangzhou, which was originally vast and sparsely populated, and the economic downturn has entered a stage of rapid development. Not only did industry and commerce flourish because of Jiehe Commercial City, but even agriculture and animal husbandry have developed greatly due to the emergence of a large number of knight manors.

Compared with the traditional small peasant economy, the Knights Manor has more land and stronger capital, and can obtain better production tools through Jiehe Market. Moreover, because it is the attribute of "一天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天天

In addition, relying on the Jiehip Horse Farm, the horse-raising industry in the Knights Manor has gradually become a climate. Although the good horses produced cannot be compared with Persian horses and Indian Folding Horses, they are considered the first-class war horses in East Asia.

So much so that the herdsmen who set up a horse farm on Shuofang Road now spends hundreds of thousands of yuan to purchase stallions from Cangzhou every year to go to the Hetao grassland, which is "most suitable for raising horses".

As for the use of horses by powerful, wealthy and high-ranking officials in Kaifeng Prefecture, they now have to be a horse in Cangzhou.

Driven by the rapid development of the three industries of agriculture, industry and commerce, Cangzhou's transportation facilities are a little unable to keep up. Although there are bounded rivers, Yellow River, Yongji Canal, Fuyang River, Wudi River and other rivers in the territory, Cangzhou is in the northern region with less precipitation, and there is no large number of stream tributaries that flow into these relatively large rivers. Moreover, there is still a period of ice in winter, which seriously affects the transportation in Cangzhou.

Long before Wu Haowen took office, the Construction Academy of Yuntai Academy proposed a plan to build a stone road network in Cangzhou, connecting all counties, Shang Towns, and Qishi Townships with stone roads. However, because the previous magistrate of Cangzhou was not interested in this, it was not implemented. After Wu Haowen took office, he immediately got on the horse.

In addition, Wu Haowen has vigorously developed the fishing and salt industries in Cangzhou, opened many salt fields and fishing ports in coastal areas, and bought them for businessmen to operate.

In short, he changed his decadence in Xiuzhou and really took a little attitude of serving as an official and benefiting the people. Maybe he is old and has a relatively mature mind, right?

After knowing Wu Haowen's actions in Cangzhou, Zhao Ji naturally favored him more. This time he arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhao Ji was introduced to the Qionglin Palace by Zhao Ji. After a while, Lubu Feijie, sent by Zhang Yuan, the instructor of Anxi, arrived.

This is really happy!

...

After the three priests performed the bowing ceremony, they stood up, and Zhao Ji, who could no longer bear the joy, laughed: "Su Qing, Zhang Qing, Zheng Qing, have you known the news of Anxi Lubu Feijie? The Karakhan Dynasty has been destroyed, and the Sitajik Kingdom and the Guer Kingdom have surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Now most of the army led by Zhao Zhongshun has attacked India, and the territory of our Song Dynasty is probably surpassing that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty! Hahaha..."

Zhao Ji was so happy that he could not stop laughing. Su Che, Zhang Shangying and Zheng Juzhong also knew to congratulate the emperor in unison.

"Would we be the edict of all nations in the world to celebrate together with one nation?"

All nations celebrate together, of course, it is the coming of the tribute!

Before Anxi Lubufeijie arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture, Wu Haogu's proposal of "all countries come to court" was boycotted by the two prefectures. Among them, Su Che firmly opposed it, believing that this move was exhausting the people and causing money, and would greatly stimulate the Khitan. Although the Song Dynasty has become a little stronger in recent years, it should still keep a low profile, accumulate strength, and complete the reform of the imperial guards, so that it can successfully attack Liao in one fell swoop.

If the flag is raised to serve as a kingdom of the Celestial Empire, it will most likely arouse the vigilance of the Khitans. At that time, the Liao Kingdom will also prepare for war, and will even take action in Hebei and Hedong first to interrupt the rise of the Song Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Su Che suddenly spoke, "Your Majesty, since the force of our dynasty has exceeded that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, should we give the Liao people 500,000 silver and silk annual monies next year?"

Yes! You are so awesome, why do you still pay the protection fee?

When Zhao Ji heard this, his face that was smiling suddenly became gloomy.

For the Song Dynasty today, 500,000 is really not a big deal. But what about face? You are so angry, why do you pay protection fees for others?

"Your Majesty, what Su Xianggong said is reasonable," Wu Haowen added, "I think I don't need to give you another annual monies."

What!?

Zhao Ji glanced at Wu Haowen, but didn't know what to say. He was a Khitan! Do you think he is the same as the waste from the Karakhan Dynasty?

"Your Majesty, if we stop paying the annual tribute, we will start a war with the Khitans!" Zheng Juzhong, the clerk of the Privy Council, said, "The Khitan has hundreds of thousands of iron cavalry, including tens of thousands of armored cavalry, and ten times more than our knights! If we want to start a war now, I am afraid that Hebei and Hedong will be scorched earth..."

Zhang Shangying also said: "Even if you want to stop paying the annual monies, you should be fully prepared and never act rashly."

Zhao Ji nodded, but the old ministers were more scrupulous.

"Will the matter of celebrating together in all countries still be done?" Zhao Ji asked with a frown.

Su Che asked back: "If the envoys of all countries ask about the annual monies, how should I answer?"
Chapter completed!
