During the discussion, the servant outside suddenly said: "Sir, Lieutenant Wang is here."

The two looked at each other, and Cai Mao said: "Wang Zonglio never comes to my place, why did he suddenly visit me today?"

"It must be up to no good."

"You avoid it first."

Li Chunyou nodded and avoided first.

Cai Mao went out and when he saw Wang Zongmao, a kind smile burst out on his face: "Wang Taiwei is here. I'm sorry for the delay in greeting you from afar. I'm sorry."

"Does Xianggong Cai mind if he comes uninvited?"

"Wherever, Lieutenant Wang is here to make the humble house look brighter, please."

Wang Zongliu knew that Cai Mao hated him, but he was thick-skinned enough and walked in arrogantly.

Cai Mao made tea again and ordered people to prepare cakes.

"I don't know why Taiwei Wang is here to visit me. What's the point?"

"Nothing else. I heard that Cai Xianggong's house proposed marriage to the Qian family?"

"It's true."

"The thing is like this, this official has been in love with Madam Qian for a long time, and today the news of Concubine Shu's canonization has come out." Wang Zongliu said unhurriedly, "The official is already in the palace, and the official is worried

If there is any misunderstanding between you and your ministers, let me explain it to you."

"In other words, last time we proposed marriage, the Qian family temporarily agreed. Since there is no agreement, it is the Qian family's business who Mrs. Qian will marry."

Cai Mao's reply was reasonable, but he didn't think so in his heart.

He originally thought that Wang Zongliu was the instigator of this matter. What kind of bullshit had they already settled in love? Who is Mrs. Qian? What is the status of an official? Can they settle in love?

If it weren't for Wang Zongliu's mischief, my surname would not be Cai today!

It was a good thing that Wang Zongli didn't visit, but Cai Mao thought that he was deliberately showing off when he visited, and he was even more sure that Wang Zongli was acting like a monster.

This also makes it more certain that Wang Zonglio is trying to flatter himself and is suspected of competing for power.

"That's good." Wang Zonglio didn't expect Cai Mao to be so easy to talk to. Now that everything had been explained, he didn't want to sit still any longer. He stood up and said, "In that case, I won't disturb Xianggong Cai."

When sending Wang Zonglio out, Cai Mao suddenly said: "Wang Taiwei, there has never been a precedent in this dynasty for a relative to be in charge of the political affairs hall."

"Um?"

"It's nothing, I just want to remind you."

Wang Zongliu left in a daze, and only on the way did he come back to his senses and realize what Cai Mao meant.

Haha, Cai Mao, you think too highly of me. If it weren't for the dog...if the officials weren't always threatening me with that bitch Gao Qiu, I would just want to be a salted fish waiting to die!

After seeing Wang Zongmao off, Cai Mao returned to the house.

Li Chunyou came out and said: "Xianggong Cai, this Wang Zonglio relies on the official support for him, and he is becoming more and more arrogant. He doesn't even look down on you as a ruler."

"You keep talking."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also fourteen years old this year. He is quite filial, especially towards the saint and the empress."

"so what?"

"The fourteen-year-old boy already has his own ideas. The last time I inquired, the prince found out that the prince is loyal, kind, and loves sacred learning."

"Um?"

"If the prince is willing, he will definitely win the support of many people."

Cai Mao's face darkened: "What do you want?"

"My lord, please don't misunderstand me. What I'm saying is that if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is willing to participate in government affairs, he will definitely win the praise of many people."

"Participating in government affairs at the age of fourteen?"

"You should start learning to participate in government affairs at the age of fourteen. After all, you are the prince."

"The prince's participation in government affairs is a very sensitive matter and cannot be discussed carelessly," Cai Mao said.

"Wang Shoude, the governor of Henan Prefecture, has always wanted to return to Tokyo from Luojing. The matter was handed over to him. It was done. We found a way to bring him to Tokyo and recommended him to the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

"He is willing?"

"Yes!" Li Chunyou continued, "And through him, many celebrities in Luoyang can speak out. If we broadcast the reputation of the prince for benevolence, virtue and kindness, it will inevitably arouse praise from people all over the world. Since the prince is benevolence, virtue and kindness, then

I definitely disapprove of the indiscriminate killings carried out by the officials."

"Is the official willing to let the prince participate in government affairs?"

"His Royal Highness is the crown prince, so how can there be no reason not to cultivate a crown prince? This is the foundation of the country, and there is no reason for the officials to refuse."

Cai Mao finally came back to his senses. After a long time, he nodded.

Now that the New Deal faction is becoming more and more powerful, if Wang Zonglio enters the political hall, the conservative space will be quickly eroded.

Maybe, Cai Mao might even be demoted from the capital by then.

New internal conflicts are surging undercurrents, while Zhao Ning is busy deploying his new strategy.

The new strategic direction adjustment is not a minor one.

In the past, the economic center of the Song Dynasty was centered on Gyeonggi Road and radiated to the surrounding areas.

Tokyo City is the best city in the world. It is no exaggeration to say that Tokyo City was the best city in the world in the 12th century.

The prosperity of its civilization, the development of science and technology, and the magnificence of literature and art have eclipsed Constantinople, the most prosperous city in Europe.

The development of water canals over the centuries during the Song Dynasty also further promoted economic prosperity.

Until the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, in this era, the dense river network extended to the southeast, giving birth to another economic center in the southeast. This economic center was the Taihu Economic Center with the Taihu Circle as the core, including Suzhou, Yangzhou, Jiangning and other places.

It also gradually extended to Hangzhou.

In the first step of the first ten-year plan, Zhao Ning launched the New Agricultural Policy internally.

The second step is to create a new business landscape.

Its main core is to develop fertile fields in Jinghu, replenish grain, develop Jianghan's large granary, and then rectify the economic structure of Jiangnan, vigorously plant cash crops in Jiangnan, and provide sufficient raw materials for external and internal commerce.

Externally, it is a sea of ​​stars, and internally, it is to expand production capacity and fill the internal demand for goods in the Song Dynasty.

Doing all this has only one purpose: to enrich the country and strengthen its army.

Of course, the readjustment of the business structure does not mean the end of the New Agricultural Policy. On the contrary, the New Agricultural Policy is the foundation of everything.

It determines land distribution and is the basis for everything.

In order to re-adjust Jiangnan's business structure, Zhao Ning turned around and married Qian Jinshu.

Marrying her is not just about letting her make suggestions, Zhao Ning also values ​​their business foundation rooted in Hangzhou Prefecture.

Zhao Ning's new policy is a race against time. The Qian family being at the center of this game will undoubtedly help him speed up.

In the evening, Zhao Ning had just finished dinner and returned to Funing Palace. He asked someone to bring Qian Jinshu.

Zhao Ning looked and saw that Li Qingzhao had left.

In fact, Li Qingzhao woke up at noon.

After waking up, she was surprised to find that she was in the palace. She was very free and easy. She got dressed and walked out of the palace under the guidance of the palace maid.

Zhao Ning asked the maid on the side: "Jushi Yi An has left?"

"Reporting to the official's house, he has already left, but..."

"But what?"

"But Master Yi An didn't go through the back door, he went through the front door."

"From the front door?"

"Yes, she insisted on taking the main entrance."

Damn it!

This Sister Li is really brave!

Isn't she afraid that others will see her and gossip?

You know, Li Qingzhao was already forty-six years old this year, while Zhao Guanjia was only thirty-one years old.

Zhao Ning didn't think much about it. Not long after, Qian Jinshu arrived.

"You all, please step back."

The maids all withdrew.

"What's the purpose of the official concubine?"
Chapter completed!
