"Your Majesty, this is probably not that simple. Guo Kui, Zhao Cheng and others led their troops and jointly attacked with Chameng, Zhen La and other countries near Annan.

Guo Kui's troops recaptured Guangyuanzhou, and defeated the Yue army at Fuliangjiang and killed Prince Hongzhen of Annan, forcing Annan to seek peace.

At that time, Zhao Xu agreed, not because he was kind, but because the geographical environment of that place was really bad.

It is hot and rainy, and miasma is very unfriendly to us Central Plains people, so Zhao Xu had to accept the peace talks.

This is still a war that took place on the border of the Song Dynasty. If we want to penetrate deep into Annan this time, we may face more difficulties.

Now that we have just fought the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, we may no longer be able to support such a large-scale attack in terms of economy, right?"

Although Zhong Yan was cautious in his work, he still dared to speak out in such major issues. He thought it was not a good idea to attack Annan, so he boldly advised Ouyang Bian, hoping that Ouyang Bian would dispel this idea.

Ouyang Bian nodded and said, "Your concerns are correct, so this time it is not in the name of the country, but a commercial act. Nanyang Group is fully responsible for this matter. The expenses are borne by Nanyang Group, and the Ministry of Revenue will not pay any money or grain."

Zhong Yan said astonished: "The Navy now has more than 20,000 people. So many people are going to launch a war. Can a company in Nanyang Group afford it?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the Nanyang Group. They control the trade in the South China Sea. It can be said that the business of Liangzhe Road marine merchants is monopolized by the Nanyang Group. This profit is at least tens of millions of yuan, so it can definitely be afforded.

And this time they will not take all the risks themselves, but will raise funds. They will take out the copper mines in Dali Country to form a company to absorb financing. I believe many big businessmen in Daxia will be tempted."

Zhong Yan was shocked again: "We have to leave the foundation of the country like copper ore to merchants to operate?"

Ouyang Bian smiled slightly: "It will be recovered in the future, and it will not be recovered after giving them enough profits. Or they can hold a certain share, but they will not have the right to operate. Moreover, the mint manufacturer will only acquire copper ingots from the copper mining company, rather than giving up the right to make the currency."

Zhong Yan was a little embarrassed: "When chatting with Your Majesty, I was always reminded that I was old. Even if I could think of such wonderful ideas, I would never think of them."

Ouyang Bian comforted: "The others don't understand, it's not because you're old."

Zhong Yan: "..."

You might as well say I'm stupid.

"In this case... the Ministry of War does not need to intervene?"

Zhong Yan asked.

Ouyang Bian nodded: "It's best to avoid getting a handle on others. We use the banner of unifying China to fight Song and Liao. If we fight Annan... Well, it doesn't seem to be appropriate. We will be considered as a warlike country. At least for now, we cannot make the surrounding countries feel nervous."

Zhong Yan couldn't help laughing.

Ouyang Bian looked at Zhong Yan.

Zhong Yan smirked and said, "Your Majesty, don't you think that our Daxia is still a peace-loving country in the eyes of others, right?"

Ouyang Bian said in surprise: "Isn't it? Our central dynasty has always loved peace."

Zhong Yan couldn't help but cover his face.

Love peace...

You also want the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation...

When you put forward this slogan, whether it is the grassland people, the Goryeo, the Uighurs, the Tubo people or the Annan people, all you think of are the tragic memories of being ruled by the Central Plains dynasty. You also said that you want a great revival. We Han people were happy to hear it, but the surrounding countries were creepy!

I said, there is really no need for you to hide it like this. This is known to everyone!

Zhong Yan complained so much in his heart, but he couldn't say that seriously. He thought about it and said: "Your Majesty is considerate. Our Daxia Dynasty emphasizes the kingly way, not domineering. For such disobedient... Well, countries that do not accept education should still be educated well, but they cannot leave the talk. Since this is the case, the Ministry of War will not interfere. We will concentrate on ending the matter with the Liao Dynasty."

Ouyang Bian smiled: "It's so good."

Zhong Yan left, leaving with amazement.

...

There has always been a saying in Ocean Group that the Southern Zhou and North Korea is that the so-called Southern Zhou and North Korea are Zhou Yunrang, and North Korea is Han Boyi.

Before, when Ocean Ocean Group did not split up and became Nanyang Group and Beiyang Group, there were two of the most outstanding young people among Ocean Group, one was Zhou Yunrang and the other was Han Boyi.

As for the statements of Southern Zhou and North Korea, it is because Zhou Yunrang has been operating in the South China Sea and is responsible for the business in the South China Sea, while Han Boyi is responsible for the business in the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea, so there is such a statement.

However, although Han Boyi and Zhou Yunrang are called Southern Zhou and North Korea, in fact, there are many outstanding young people from Oceanwide Group, such as Quan Yuanyin, Huang Ganyou, etc.

Ocean Group split up, Yang Qing, the helmsman, withdrew from Ocean Group, Beiyang Group handed over to Han Boyi, while Nanyang Group handed over to Zhou Yunrang.

June is a period of frequent sea storms, and at this time sea ships generally do not go out to sea, so Zhou Yunrang arranged for the sea ships to return to the port to repair, repair what should be repaired and what should be replaced, which can be regarded as giving the crew a rest time.

However, Zhou Yunrang couldn't rest. As a group that had just taken over such a large group as Nanyang Group, he had to take advantage of this time to report his work in Bianjing.

His current status is not stable enough. If he wants to firmly take this position, he has to make good achievements.

Overall, the performance this year is good, and the trade volume has increased very quickly. The share of the Song Dynasty was distributed by Nanyang Group and Beiyang Group, which is at least 30%.

Moreover, the trade volume is also increasing now. All kinds of goods in Daxia are very popular in Nanyang, especially the emerging new things in recent years, which are almost in short supply.

So during this Xia and Liao War, although Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue was crying for poverty, the grain was basically not supplied domestically, and it was basically supplied by Nanyang Group.

The Nanyang area is a production area. Whether it is rice, sugarcane, or fresh fruit, it is just as bestowed by God. The food and fruits that Daxia can be exchanged for when it comes here are large quantities of food and fruits, which are just for the troops in the attacking Liao Dynasty.

This is also one of the performance.

Overall, Zhou Yunrang felt quite confident about this report, but he was still a little nervous because this time he not only had to go to the Ministry of Revenue to report to Shangshu Lu, but the key is that he might also be summoned by the Emperor of Daxia Ouyang Bian!
