"Navigator, navy--"

Zhao Kuangyin choked for a moment. He held it in for a long time before he said stiffly: "The Great Song Dynasty's strife and cavalry are the best in the world!"

"But your Majesty, the south is wet and hot, and the hills and mountains are everywhere, and the cavalry is damaged too high!"

Zhao Pu said with great thoughts: "It would be fine if Wu Yue helped him, but Wu Yue was controlled by the Hailong Army. His headquarters was on Wengshan Island not far from Hangzhou. He could reach Hangzhou in several hours. If his navy did not solve the problem, it would be difficult for him to go south in one day!"

"Hmph!" Zhao Kuangyin was quite angry. Thinking about the wealth of Huainan, Jiangnan today is probably several times more than it, but he can see it and can't eat it. It feels really uncomfortable.

"With Shuntian Gate in the west of the city, didn't Shizong cultivate a navy in Xichi? We must continue!"

"If you expand a little more, you have to train tens of thousands of navy masters. As for ships, they are built on Chaohu. Among them, they are shipwrecks, and I don't believe they can't compare to the southern country!"

"What Your Majesty said is the most conscientious, but you just ignore the fact that there is no such money and food in the left treasury of the imperial court!"

Zhao Pu said helplessly: "The navy consumes a lot. The soldiers rely on fishermen, but it is difficult to build a ship. If there are hundreds of ships, it will cost at least tens of thousands of taxis!"

"Grandpa Zhao, who has violated your taboo today?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"It has never happened!" Zhao Pu said in confusion.

"Then why do you speak so hard? This is not OK, that is not OK. I want to ask the Prime Minister, where is it possible?"

Zhao Kuangyin said angrily.

"Your Majesty, today is different from the past!"

Zhao Pu was amused and crying. He sighed and said bitterly: "Now the South is a solid piece, and Wu Yue cannot move. It will change first and then north!"

"You mean, go north?" Zhao Kuangyin said in surprise: "The Eastern Han Dynasty is only 12 states, tens of thousands of households, and the prime minister is only thirty cents a month, and he is so poor that he is so poor that the court treasury is full, but he cannot make such a loss!"

"Besides, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Khitans colluded with each other, and they were militant and the mountains and rivers were extremely difficult to attack. The losses in between were probably difficult to measure!"

Speaking of this, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but feel distressed.

Last year, the tea tax was newly established, and it earned tens of thousands of yuan a year, which gave the imperial court a huge surprise. Now, just the Chinese New Year, in addition to Shu tea and Huainan tea, he also deliberated on Henan tea. He set up thirteen tea shops in six prefectures, namely thirteen tea shops, called Thirteen tea shops, six prefectures, Qi (now south of Qichun, Hubei), Huang (now Huanggang, Hubei), Shu (now Anqing), Lu (now Hefei, Anhui), Shou (now Shou County, Anhui), and Guang (now Huangchuan, Henan).

I worked hard to make money and lost it in Hedong, a remote area, and it was like wasting money.

Hearing this, Zhao Pu smiled slightly and stopped talking. He believed that the emperor was not such a stingy person, so he naturally had some insights in his heart, otherwise he would not have sat on the dragon throne.

Zhao Kuangyin murmured a few words, his eyes full of thought, and he had obviously heard it.

After retreating, heavy snow had already started in Tokyo City, and the world was white.

Zhao Pu returned home, stepped down from his court robes, and prepared to change his clothes and go to bed.

Unexpectedly, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Go and have a look!" Zhao Pu quickly got up and called the servants to go, but he put on his clothes under the maid's service.

Sure enough, as he expected, a short, black-faced man stood outside the door in the snow, followed by dozens of servants, holding wine, meat, and vegetables, without moving.

The servant had already knelt down, and Zhao Pu walked over. When the emperor arrived at Fengyue, he was startled and quickly bowed: "Fengyue is in harmony, why is Your Majesty here?"

Since becoming emperor, Zhao Kuangyin still retains his style of a military general. He likes to visit and communicate with the brothers of the imperial guards. Zhao Pu, a think tank, is a regular visitor of his family, and it was proposed to release the power of military power from his family.

So Zhao Pu usually doesn't change clothes when he goes home, just waits for the emperor to come. It snows heavily today. He thought the emperor would not come back, but he still came.

"Hahaha, it's best to eat meat and drink wine in winter!"

Zhao Kuangyin patted the snow on his body and said disrespectfully: "Don't close the door, I have already made an appointment with the King of Jin to come with me!"

Immediately, wine, food and barbecue were placed in the pavilion. The servants were so busy that their foreheads were sweating. Zhao Kuangyin was not willing to be lonely and started barbecue on his own.

Sure enough, less than a quarter of an hour, a white and thin man [Biqugetv.xyz] hurried over, found a seat to sit down, and sighed: "Why are brothers so anxious? Today's snow has fallen quite a bit!"

"The snow is a good harvest, and I think there will be a good harvest this year, so we can breathe a sigh of relief!"

Zhao Kuangyin said indifferently while wearing fur clothes and eating barbecue.

The three of them sat down on the ground, surrounded by the stove, and Zhao Pu’s wife was drinking warmly, and she was familiar with the scene.

"What my brother said is true, it's better to have a heavier snow!" Zhao Guangyi also echoed: "I hope there will be a good harvest this year!"

"If the treasury is full, you can use troops!" Zhao Kuangyin drank a glass of wine and said casually: "Today, Mr. Zhao told me that he could not go south. It was just because there was no navy. Now he used troops, either in Shu or in Hedong!"

"Shu is the best!" Zhao Guangyi said directly: "Shu is rich, and Xingyuan Prefecture is only three prefectures and counties, with an annual income of nearly 100,000 yuan. As a result, the pressure on Guanzhong will be reduced. If the entire Shu area is captured, the court will have the spare time to build ships and sweep the world!"

As he said that, his face blushed and he said excitedly: "The emperor's brother is just around the corner!"

"What the King of Jin said is reasonable, but he ignored the situation in Hedong!"

Zhao Pu ignored his identity as the emperor's brother and said bluntly: "In the past few years, Hedong has been in a tight connection with the Khitan and has used a lot of troops. If we go south with all our might and contact the Khitan and stab him from the back, how can the court fight on both sides?"

"Sir, I have always insisted on being the south and then the north!" Zhao Guangyi said inexplicably.

"The strategy of first south and then north must also change according to the current situation!" Zhao Pu sighed:

"Shu is wet and hot, so it wouldn't be fine if it was Shu, but now it is Tang. If the imperial guards go south, they will inevitably go north. Where will they come?"

"So, the court can now guide Hebei, contact future troubles, cultivate elite soldiers, and then slowly plan for it!"

"Taiyuan City is difficult to overcome, I'm afraid it's not easy to conquer!"

As he said that, his face blushed and he said excitedly: "The emperor's brother is just around the corner!"

"What the King of Jin said is reasonable, but he ignored the situation in Hedong!"

Zhao Pu ignored his identity as the emperor's brother and said bluntly: "In the past few years, Hedong has been in a tight connection with the Khitan and has used a lot of troops. If we go south with all our might and contact the Khitan and stab him from the back, how can the court fight on both sides?"

"Sir, I have always insisted on being the south and then the north!" Zhao Guangyi said inexplicably.

"The strategy of first south and then north must also change according to the current situation!" Zhao Pu sighed:
