In the second year of Yuanyou, August 19th month (the fourth day of the lunar month).

On a fishing platform in the inner pond, Zhao Xu was holding a lure pole and searching the water surface.

Not far away from him, there were Lu Huiqing, who was also holding a Lure pole and searching for the water surface, Xiang Zonghui, Gao Gongji and the other three.

By the way, nowadays, lure fishing has become a trend in the fishing circles of Bianjing City.

Many lure experts appeared.

Even the Liao Kingdom delegation was playing, and also placed a customized version of the lure order, intending to buy it back and offer it to the Liao master, so that Yelu Hongji could also play lures.

This is normal!

The monarchs of the Song and Liao countries were both fishing enthusiasts.

In the Song Dynasty, in the era of Zhen Temple and Ren Temple, fishing banquets were famous all over the world.

In the Liao Kingdom, Liao Shengzong and Liao Xingzong also like to fish.

Especially Liao Xingzong, it is said that he caught wherever he went.

Even for fishing, you can ignore state affairs.

Otherwise, how could the Song and Liao dynasties be said to be a brotherly country?

However, Zhao Xu's fishing is not so much for entertainment, but rather for him to take advantage of fishing and talk to the ministers.

Because, he found that when fishing, the distance between the monarch and the ministers would be significantly closer.

At the same time, we will stay away from many politically correct red tape, so that the conversation between the monarch and the minister can be more efficient and in-depth.

Just like now.

While pulling the fishing rod, Zhao Xu said to Lu Huiqing: "After taking office as a member of Xihe, Mr. Lu should work with Xiang and Gao, two relatives of the country, unite and cooperate together to build Xihe Road into a strong road in the world and a rich road!"

Yesterday evening, Empress Dowager Xiang surrounded Zhao Xu and came to the small hall under the Neidong Gate, and then summoned the Hanlin scholar Fan Chunren to carry out the imperial edict.

So, this morning, Xuanma came out of the palace.

The bachelor of Zizheng Hall, Zhao Rong, the governor of the Xihe Lanhui Road, and the governor of the Lanhui Road, Luo Xihe Lanhui Road, and was appointed as the governor of the Pingjiang Army. He was appointed as the three departments of Kaifu Yitong, and was granted the founding Duke of Yizhou County. He also added 1,000 households with a fief and 200 households. He was respected as a veteran. He was awarded the first place in the first district of Jianlongfang, the east wing of Bianjing New City. He was appointed as the governor. He specially ordered a month to be a dynasty and was also granted the affairs of the Privy Council.

As a result, Zhao Cheng became the first veteran of the Yuanyou Dynasty.

And it was the first veteran confirmed through the ceremony of Xuanmabai's elimination.

It was also confirmed through the formulation of the words that Zhao Xun has the right to participate in the affairs of the Privy Council.

This is so critical!

It is equivalent to opening up a new path of progress for the officials from other border areas in the world.

As early as shortly after Lu Huiqing returned to the court, both inside and outside the court and the country knew that Lu Huiqing was going to Xihe Road to take over Zhao Sen.

Today, Zhao Xu called Lu Huiqing, Xiang Zonghui, Gao Gongji and the other three together, which indirectly announced the appointment that had been speculated by the outside world for a long time.

"Your Majesty's virtue and teachings are in my heart!" Lu Huiqing quickly put down his fishing rod and bowed to answer.

Zhao Xu nodded and replied to Xiang Zong. Gao Gongji and the other two said, "The two national relatives should also support each other with Gong Lu. In military and national affairs, they must especially obey their orders and do not do what they do!"

"Promise!" Xiang Zong replied, and Gao Gongji and his wife immediately bowed to the promise.

"Yes!" Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction.

These instructions from him are necessary.

Because if he did not emphasize these things and personally instructed these three people.

Zhao Xu was really worried that they would fight in Xihe.

no way!

The civil officials and relatives of the Song Dynasty had a rich record of internal strife.

It is different from stereotypes, not just civil officials, but they try every means to fight against relatives of the foreigners.

In fact, the relatives of the foreigners will try their best to fight with civil officials.

The further away from Bianjing, the higher the enthusiasm of the ministers of foreign relatives and ministers.

Like Zhao Cheng, who was in Xihe and Xiang Zonghui, Gao Gongji, staged a reconciliation between generals and ministers, which was unprecedented in the Song Dynasty.

And they can be at peace.

In addition to stakeholders, the biggest reason is that Zhao Cheng is old and is about to retire and no longer has the intention to fight with others.

It can even be said that he is tired of fighting.

This is also why Zhao Xu chose him.

But Lu Huiqing is different.

This Fujianzi is a famous strong figure.

No matter where he goes, he likes to take over power, and he also has a bad habit.

Back then, I was famous for fighting against the sky and the earth.

When I arrived in a foreign county, I even let myself go.

According to reports from the Zouma Suspenters sent by Zhao Xu to Hedong, when Lu Huiqing was in Hedong, the civil servants and generals below would be scolded and even blamed by him if they did anything less than his wishes!

That year, Zhang Zhijian suddenly stabbed him back.

It was because when Lu Huiqing was also serving as the Fuyan Road Strategy Pacifier, he used the charge of dereliction of duty to beat Zhang Zhijian twenty-whip in public.

This was regarded as a great humiliation by Zhang Zhijian.

As for Xiang Zonghui, Gao Gongji's temper was pretty good, but he was not the kind of person who was ridden on his face and had to compromise.

Therefore, Zhao Xu was always worried that Lu Huiqing went to Xihe Road to return to Xiang Zong, and Gao Gongji broke up.

If this is the case, the problem will be more troublesome.

It will also affect Zhao Xu's own major strategies.

Therefore, Zhao Xu also put down the fishing rod in his hand, looked at the three of them, and said, "Xihe Road, the annual deficit was as many as millions of yuan every year!"

"The court has always had some complaints about this..."

Giving up Xihe, at least giving up Lanzhou, was a loud voice in the court in the eighth year of Yuanfeng.

And the biggest reason for supporters is finance!

No money!

It cannot be said that these people have no reason.

Since the Xining Reform, the three redundant disadvantages have not been solved, but have become more and more serious as the stalls are getting bigger and bigger.

The court's annual fiscal revenue was spent on military spending/war-related matters.

The remaining 40% need to support the extravagant and extravagant desires of the Zhao official family and the Zhao official family, and to support the officials of the states and counties in the world.

Very few can be put into infrastructure construction.

Not to mention the other side, the finance and taxation of Southeast Sixth Road is not allowed to be left every year and is paid to the center.

The infrastructure construction of these six roads has not been invested much in decades or even hundreds of years.

So, all kinds of problems were jumping out.

The empire on the other side of the modern ocean has a rust belt.

Today, there are a large number of ancient projects in the southeast Sixth Road of the Song Dynasty that have been disrepaired.

The red neck of the rust belt does not care about the global hegemony of the empire. They just want to go back to the era when they can support a wife, two children and one dog by going to work alone, and have a big villa in the suburbs.

By the same token, the gentry and people on the sixth routes in the southeast would not think about the heroic spirit of the Han and Tang dynasties, nor would they care about the grand cause of Zhao's official family's determination to recover Lingxia and even the northern expedition of Youyan.

They just want to take care of what is in front of them and solve it first, so that their wives and children can have enough food and clothing today so that their families do not have to be displaced tonight.

This is all human nature.

Therefore, since Zhao Xu ascended the throne, he has always been concerned about economy, employment, and stability.

Whether in Hebei, hundreds of thousands or even millions of troughs are spent every year to clean up the dredging.

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥Book⊥⊥⊥First⊥!

It is better to relax various supervision of Southeast Sixth Road, and to benefit the people in various mining supervision, reduce the commission on mining taxes, and increase the purchase of Bobu.

Or, in Quanzhou, Mingzhou, Dengzhou, Daxing boats and ships are encouraged to promote maritime trade and open up waterways.

I still try my best to send all the heroes and heroes from all over the world to Xihe and Jiaozhou.

All are based on this, all for economics, employment and stability.

Therefore, Zhao Xu looked at the three people in front of him and said earnestly: "Now, although the financial problems on Xihe Road have been greatly alleviated."

"Last year, Xihe Road was the first time, with less than five million tax support!"

"This is still in the event of war!"

"I am very happy, and the two palaces are very happy, and the court is even more happy!"
