Chapter 548 Jin Guoxue Da Song?

Fujiwara Shizuo said: "It is as your Majesty said."

Zhao Guanjia said: "There must be many private merchants doing business with your country."

"There are indeed many people among the people who are willing to trade with our country. If His Majesty can issue an edict, there will be countless ships for trade between the two countries."

Zhao Ning laughed and said: "Now that the world is at peace, how can we stop doing business?"

Fujiwara Shizuo was stunned for a moment.

Zhao Ninghao said: "Accurate!"

The Korean envoy Zheng Changjun was naturally not to be outdone and came over to offer a toast.

Zhao Ning said: "Your country already has trade with China, how about comprehensive trade?"

Zheng Changjun said happily: "Foreign minister, thank you for your Majesty's grace!"

When Xilin Helu saw this scene, he whispered in Li Shanqing's ear: "Zhao Guan's family is so proud."

Li Shanqing whispered: "Isn't this exactly what we want to see?"

As night falls, the lights begin to turn on, and the night market in Tokyo City begins.

Zhao Ning seemed to have drunk too much, so he returned to Funing Palace and fell asleep.

On the tenth day of September, the autumn wind in Yanjing was already quite cool, and the roadside was covered with fallen leaves.

Zong Wang dragged his tired body to the central hall.

Everyone stood up and saluted: "I have met Your Highness."

"Everyone, please sit down." Zong Wang coughed, his face a little pale.

After Zong Wang sat down, he said: "The imperial court has decided to designate Xijin Prefecture as Nanjing, Liaoyang Prefecture as Tokyo, Yunzhong Prefecture as Xijing, Dading Prefecture as Zhongjing, and Huining Prefecture as Shangjing."

Everyone was silent.

These changes naturally heralded changes in the power of the Jin Dynasty's court and changes in local jurisdiction.

In the past, the center of political power of the Jin Kingdom was Shangjing, but Shangjing was too far away from other places to effectively control it.

The current five-capital system is equivalent to equalizing the power gap of the Jin Kingdom.

Moreover, the establishment of Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo played a role in preventing the Song army in the Liaodong Peninsula.

As for Yanjing, some people privately believe that the Jin Kingdom is preparing to move its capital south in order to better deal with the Song Dynasty politically, militarily and culturally.

Zong Wang continued: "Your Majesty has given me the official title of Shangshu Ling to control all affairs in Yanjing. I hope you will provide more assistance in the future."

Everyone stood up and said, "I am willing to do my best for His Highness."

Zong Wang received the official title of Shangshu Ling, and Zong Han received the title of Zhongshu Ling, which heralded the beginning of the internal power restructuring of the Jin Kingdom.

You must know that before, there was the Bo Jilie system, and Bo Jilie had great power. The emperor and Bo Jilie had to make joint decisions on national affairs of the Jin Kingdom.

Bo Jilie had more power than the prime minister and was equivalent to the deputy emperor.

But now the power boundaries of Shangshu Ling and Zhongshu Ling have gradually become clearer.

This was the beginning of imperial centralization.

Moreover, if the Jin Kingdom wanted to govern such a vast land and fight against the increasingly powerful Song Dynasty, it had to ease its internal conflicts and enrich its overall strength.

Zong Wang said: "Just now, I received good news from Bianjing. The Emperor of Song has agreed to all our conditions and is willing to maintain peace with us."

Everyone offered various words of praise.

Those here are almost all from the Jin Kingdom's Zhuhe faction, including Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyanchang, Wanyan Zongjun and others.

Wanyan Zongpan asked: "You also agreed to open commerce?"

"Agreed, except for some contraband items, all other products are open to the public."

"Okay!" Zong Pan was overjoyed.

Although Zong Pan and Zong Wang are both peace negotiators, their concepts of peace negotiation are different.

To be precise, Zong Wang was also a faction that wanted to destroy the Song Dynasty, but he believed that the Jin Kingdom could not destroy the Song Dynasty simply by using troops.

To destroy the Song Dynasty, we must carry out a comprehensive attack on the Song Dynasty from the political, cultural and military levels.

For example, Zongwang opened a literary museum in Yanjing to recruit knowledgeable people from the north to revise and interpret Confucian classics.

He also called on the entire Jin Kingdom to regard itself as the Northern Dynasty and call the Song Dynasty the Southern Dynasty.

Meaning: Chinese orthodoxy is in Dajin.

This is a shaping of the Jin Kingdom’s internal ideology.

What are the benefits of doing this?

For example, the people of Zhending Prefecture and Zhongshan Prefecture now recognize the Song Dynasty. If we attract scholars from these places to Yanjing, win over them, and let them re-note Confucian classics.

When they return home, they will recognize the Jin Dynasty as the authentic one.

This is the sublimation of administrative rule, which is of great benefit to the local governance.

Another example is promoting a large number of Han people into the bureaucracy.

This could attract scholars and bureaucrats who were unknown to the Song Dynasty.

Finally, at the military level, a recruitment system was initially established to achieve the combination of recruitment system and fierce restraint, and then the military strength was enhanced, and the focus of the army was shifted to Liaoyang and Yanjing, so that it would be easier to launch a larger-scale war against the Song Dynasty in the future.

However, Wanyan Zongpan was really a bit ambitious and lacking in talent.

Zong Pan's main purpose is to fight against Zong Han's power and want to ascend to power. Second, he wants to improve and enjoy life through trade with the Song Dynasty.

As for destroying the Song Dynasty, Zong Pan had no thoughts in this regard.

The reason why they are still together now is just because they have roughly the same political ideas on the surface.

Now that the Song and Jin Dynasties have started to open up business, Zong Pan believes that thanks to his triumphant return to the court, the wealthy and wealthy nobles will definitely thank him for the current situation.

He is one step closer to the throne of emperor.

Liu Yanzong said: "Your Highness, could this be a trick of the Song State to confuse us on the surface and prepare an army secretly?"

"The Emperor of the Song Dynasty hosted a banquet for our envoys and spoke a lot of words to his ministers."

Zong Pan immediately said: "The Song Dynasty does not want to fight anymore. Didn't it say that the southern part of the Song Dynasty is even less willing to fight? Zhao Guan's family has even exempted the taxes in the south. How can he get the money to fight us? Now he is maintaining peace with us.

Commerce is his helpless move, and it is good for us all."

Wan Yanchang said: "Yes, it is good for both of us."

Zong Wang added: "I have also obtained the results of the Song Dynasty's restructuring over the years. Do you want to hear about it?"

The scene became quiet.

Zong Wang said: "Let's talk about the New Agricultural Policy first. Farmers from all walks of life in the north have their own fields, and they have set up town supervisors to assist local agriculture. Take Julu, Hebei, for example, there are three town supervisors, and each town supervisor

Government offices have specialized officials to teach local people comprehensive agricultural knowledge, and have established special manure treatment systems and farmers' working systems, even down to how to fertilize the fields and when they must be fertilized."

"In addition, the town supervisors have direct contact with farmers, and can organize farmers faster and better, and open water conservancy. Within three years, Julu County opened five water canals, and grain output doubled compared to the five years of Xuanhe!"

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened.

Zong Wang continued: "There are still people in the court who oppose the peace negotiation and want to resolutely go south to attack the Song Dynasty. I was originally wavering, but after seeing the results of the Song Dynasty's new policy, I decided to resolutely oppose the war! Because this is a long-term contest,

The Song State has its weaknesses. If you give them a little peace, they will become addicted and greedy. However, I see our weaknesses. We can't just fight. Our fields must also be cultivated."

“Do you know the real reason why the field harvest in Julu County doubled?”

Everyone was silent.
