In fact, it is not easy to plan Annan.

Many people below are striving for various powers for Zhao Gou.

But the problem is that in today's Song Dynasty, people who stay in key positions cannot do what they did in the past, and must show some real skills.

Otherwise, the year-end assessment will be canceled in minutes.

There are also a lot of officials from the Jianyuan and Yushitai, staring at you every day, wishing that they would record for you how hard you worked with Xiaohong or Xiaolan at night.

Even though he is in a high position and has a lot of power, it is not something that normal people can handle in this day and age.

Zhao Gou was naturally hesitant in his heart. It seemed like an opportunity, but if he didn't do it right, it would be a trap!

But what Zhao Guanjia said next made Zhao Gou feel more relieved.

Zhao Ning said: "There is a large area of ​​land in Annan, and there is an urgent need to immigrate a group of people from the south there. I am afraid that these are not what Wu Lin is good at. I still need you, Brother Jiu, to preside over it. I still say the same thing. You can make suggestions. As long as

It's reasonable. Just ask for the funds you need. I only have one request for you: complete the task, complete the task, complete the task! As for what means you use to complete it, I don't care."

"Thank you for your sympathy, I will not let you down."

When we left the palace, it was already dark.

Zhao Gou and Qin Hui left the palace together.

They all drank some wine.

Qin Hui held up his hat and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his long sleeves.

The servants waiting at the palace gate brought "Ice Ball Leng Yuanzi" and also prepared one for King Kang.

This kind of cold drink is very common in Tokyo and was often consumed by people in the Song Dynasty in summer. It is somewhat similar to desserts such as fresh taro fairy in the 21st century.

Zhao Gou took a sip and said, "The taste is different from the past."

"Did your Highness eat it often?"

"I loved eating it when I was a kid, and would ask people to go out of the palace to buy it. I haven't eaten it in a long time."

"The taste is different, maybe some coconut juice is added."

"Coconut juice?"

"I heard that Qian Yuqing set up many sea ships in the South China Sea last year and had close trade with Qiongzhou. Coconuts are one of them. A large number of coconuts are shipped to the sea and transported along the sea to the southeast and from the southeast to Tokyo."

"I see." Zhao Gou nodded, "It seems that the South China Sea is much richer than we imagined."

"That's true." Qin Hui had to admit.

The current mainstream view of the Song Dynasty is that it is a deserted land, but it is estimated that in the near future, books introducing Nanyang's customs, customs and special products will be widely published.

It might even be accompanied by a wealth of geographical knowledge.

"I heard that some students from the University of Tokyo went south privately to investigate the landforms and customs there." Zhao Gou said, "There are many people at Hangzhou Maritime University where Qian Yuqing trained in Hangzhou who do this kind of thing."

Zhao Gou said this, obviously putting pressure on Qin Hui.

But everyone is smart and didn’t speak too directly.

"His Highness can also sponsor some young people to go south to inspect Jiaozhou. I even think that they can be sent to Liuqiu to inspect and to the countries in the South China Sea."

Zhao Gou didn't say anything.

But now the big bosses in the core circle of power have realized that the South China Sea is a treasure land. Not only can huge commodities enter the Song Dynasty, but once the sea lines are built, there will also be far more goods within the Song Dynasty that can go out to sea.

.

When Qin Hui returned home at night, Wang was still awake.

"Something happened." This was the first thing Wang said when she saw Qin Hui.

"What's the matter?"

"Our goods have been seized."

"Detained?" Qin Hui was stunned for a moment.

"Shipping to Korea."

Qin Hui asked doubtfully: "Have we done business with Goryeo?"

"Yes, I am taking care of these things. Before Han Shizhong regained Fuzhou and built the capital city, I arranged for people to start sea trade from Dengzhou, but these were just business transactions, I didn't mention it to you.

"

"How many goods are there?"

"Worth three thousand guan."

"Only three thousand strings." Qin Hui disagreed.

"But why did Goryeo detain our goods?" Wang said, "It stands to reason that the goods of other Song merchants would also be detained."

When Wang said this, Qin Hui realized the seriousness of the problem.

yes!

The Wang family was doing business with Goryeo in private, and the relationship between them was naturally very strict. They even dared to seize the goods of the ruling family, not to mention the goods of other merchants.

"It shouldn't be!" Qin Hui took off his official uniform and thought, "Goryeo has stationed some troops in the capital to assist us, and His Majesty promised to fully open trade to Goryeo at the beginning of the year. Goryeo should be grateful to the Song Dynasty.

How come our goods were seized? Is the news reliable? Could it be pirates, and when the news reaches you, it becomes seized by the Koreans?"

"Absolutely not. My information comes from several different people, and they all say that it was done by Koreans."

Qin Hui thought for a moment and said, "Don't make any announcement about this in advance. It's just three thousand gu of goods. If anyone knows that the ruling family is secretly doing business with Goryeo, it would be bad to tell others the truth."

"You can't give it up, right?"

"Waiting for the news. If Gao Li is really playing some tricks, the news will come soon."

Wang sighed and said, "That's the only way."

"There is good news." Qin Hui sat down and picked up the tea cup, "Your Majesty agreed to appoint King Kang as the Protector. This is also a compromise by His Majesty to the current opposition in the court."

"That's really great!" Wang said with a smile.

"There is even greater good news."

"what news?"

"His Majesty vaguely mentioned the establishment of a crown prince today, also mentioned that the princes are young, and also mentioned that King Kang is virtuous and talented."

Wang's mind immediately started to spin: "Your Majesty, do you have any intention of establishing King Kang?"

Qin Hui said: "Kang Kang is the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture and is responsible for agricultural loans. Now he has been given the title of Grand Protector of Annan Protectorate. His Majesty has given him a lot of opportunities!"

"Is it possible that, in view of the previous deposing of the crown prince, His Majesty did this deliberately and transferred all his attention to Prince Kang to protect the young prince?"

"It's possible, but King Kang is indeed qualified to compete for the position of crown prince now. If King Kang's political achievements are amazing, more people will definitely support him."

Just when Zhao Ning thought that Haimao had taken a big step forward with Qian Yuqing's victory in Champa, Gao Li quickly slapped him hard in the face.

Since Zhao Ning promised to fully open trade with Goryeo at the beginning of this year, and a large number of merchants actively imported Goryeo goods into the Song Dynasty, a bloody coup occurred within Goryeo.

This coup was not groundless. It was related to the military operation of the Song Army in Fuzhou. It was also related to the overt peace negotiations between the Song and Jin Dynasties and the secretly tense tensions between them. It was also closely related to the irreconcilable contradictions between various interest groups within the Koryo Kingdom.

Many complex factors combined led to the changes in Korea in the seven years of Jingkang.

On the evening of May 13th, it rained heavily, and the royal city of Goryeo opened its doors.
