"Master, although we do not intend to promise Xixia that the tens of thousands of prisoners will be put back, we cannot say that I, the Song Dynasty, do not speak morally. I think that we should offer Xixia conditions that they cannot accept to redeem these prisoners, such as each prisoner offers 500 jin to repay the crimes they committed by burning, killing, looting at the border. Even if Xixia agrees, such conditions will make their domestic finances empty and put Xixia in a dilemma! Of course, we can also use Xixia to capture our Song Dynasty's military and civilians in exchange, but in the danger of this group of prisoners, we can offer ten people to exchange for this price. The captured Song Dynasty military and civilians are mostly slaves in Xixia. If Xixia accepts such conditions, it will also lose about 400,000 labor force, which is also unacceptable to the people of Xixia!" Wang Jinghui saw that the overall situation was settled, so he then put forward a open reason to reject Xixia's request.

In fact, Wang Jinghui hopes to try to use the little mode to enable the high-level rulers of the Song Dynasty to establish the awareness of "war reparations". After the battle between Song and Xia a year ago, he suggested that the Song Dynasty raise war reparations to the defeated Xixia. "war reparations" are still very incredible to the rulers of this era. At least it is a bit contrary to the Confucian "loyalty and forgiveness", but Wang Jinghui seems to be the most normal. In this regard, nomadic peoples are much smarter than the Song Dynasty. After the victory, the Liao Kingdom and Xixia also knew to ask for annual tribute from the Song Dynasty to weaken the strength of the Song Dynasty and strengthen themselves. If he could slowly infiltrate at this time and let the concept of "war reparations" be accepted by the Song Dynasty, then there would be more methods to use against the enemy country in the future.

"Well! I'm sure the report from the prince-consort!" said Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu. He was really angry today. Wang Jinghui originally persuaded him not to let go of the Xixia prisoners, which made him truly realize that he must not be rude in dealing with the enemy country, otherwise raising a tiger will cause trouble. There will be no peace on the frontier.

However, Wang Jinghui's reason did not seem so pleasant to Sima Guang and Ouyang Xiudi's eyes. The two of them pointed out that this reason should not be used to make excuses from Xixia, and they would rather not make any other plans. The people in the palace were angry and thought that this reason seemed a bit too much. It was not in line with the face of the Song Dynasty, but thinking that Wang Jinghui was also the most capable businessman in the Song Dynasty, and he also understood it in his heart.

Wang Jinghui said: "In the past, Emperor Wu of Han fought against the Xiongnu. After Wei Qing, the general under his command, captured hundreds of thousands of horses and countless cattle and sheep to work hard on the army. I thought that in addition to the soldiers' lives, the court also had to spend a lot of financial resources to carry out the war. In the past, there were police officers on the frontier every year, and our Song Dynasty military expenditure would be more than 10 or 20 million yuan in normal years. This was all the blood of the people of our Song Dynasty. I thought that the defeated party must be responsible for this war and bear the consequences. It is reasonable to ask for "compensation" after the war. Otherwise, how could the "year-old monies" come from our Song Dynasty?! If there must be one of our Song Dynasty people and the people of Western Xia to pay hard money for this war, then I would choose to be the people of the enemy country! Pity for the enemy is cruel to myself! I hope the emperor and the ministers think twice!”

After Wang Jinghui became the son-in-law, he felt that the process of his approval of the court was becoming more and more troublesome. This time he finally seized the opportunity to express his views in person. Of course, he had to do his best at one go, so as not to contact the minister to patch his father-in-law after returning to Chuzhou in the future.

Wang Jinghui had just arrived in Kaifeng, Biandu yesterday. In order to accompany his wife, he did not know about King Ying Zhao Xu, because he was afraid that he would come to ruin his mood at night. He didn't know about the content of the Holy Deliberations in Funing Palace today. When he was calling Wang Shao into the palace to deal with it, Wang Jinghui had no intention of achieving any effect. At most, he would just give evidence. Unexpectedly, Wang Shao's move really made him go the right way. Wang Shao's words made his father-in-law feel angry. It is estimated that if anyone said good things to Xixia at this time, he stood on the side of the compromise faction. In the rage of Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu, he was 100%.

Old ministers like Han Qi and Fu Bi are unwilling to be the first to be successful at this time. They were thinking about how to retire gloriously, instead of being embarrassed to be a nuisance on this irrelevant issue, and leaving the post in disgrace. In fact, not only the two of them were thinking this way, except for Wang Anshi, who had newly participated in the Funing Hall, everyone else also had this idea. Wang Jinghui didn't know what the real reason for their acquiescence to this, the key was that his goal had been achieved.

After the Funing Palace held an appointment, all the officials, including Han Qi and Fu Bi, retreated, while Wang Jinghui was left alone by his father-in-law. It was the same garden half a year ago, but it was already July, and it was the most beautiful time of the year in the garden. Wang Jinghui first came to the garden under the guidance of the eunuch in the palace. Yingzong Zhao Shu changed into casual clothes and then came to the garden.

"Change it, don't stand there. Here you and I are just two father-in-law and son-in-law, so you don't have to care about the etiquette of the monarch and minister!" Yingzong Zhao Shu was wearing white Shu embroidery and decorated with dragon patterns. Not only did he look loose and freehand, but he also had the majesty of an emperor.

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness!" Then he sat on the stone pier opposite Yingzong Zhao Shu, and the eunuch quickly served tea and fruit orders for the two of them.

Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu was in a relaxed mood when he got along with his son-in-law, and his face was not as angry as he was when he was discussing affairs in Funing Hall just now. Apart from being the emperor of this huge empire, he looked more like a father-in-law at this time. "Is Qianyu's health okay?"

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "Thank you to your father's blessing, Qianyu has the care of the empress dowager and the queen in the palace, and she is very healthy. Yesterday, the son-in-law just returned home to take care of Qianyu's pulse and regulated his qi and blood well. It is estimated that Qianyu will be able to give birth in four months!"

Yingzong Zhao Shu sighed and said, "This is really hard for you and your wife. At this time, I shouldn't have broken up you and asked you to stay by Qianyu's side. However, the court is now at the moment of using people. You are my trust in Chuzhou. If someone else is replaced, I will not feel at ease!"

Wang Jinghui said: "It is a blessing for the child to do his best for the country. I think Qianyu will understand that father doesn't have to worry too much!"

After hearing this, Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu nodded and smiled and said, "If Xu'er is half of your talent, I will be relieved!"

"His Royal Highness Ying is talented and has a strong personality and is studious. In the future, he will be able to command all officials to promote the Song Dynasty to a new glory. How can this be the place for the child?! The child is just a little clever, just to share the worries of his father and His Royal Highness Ying!" Wang Jinghui said.

King Ying Zhao Xu was smart and studious, and was recognized by all officials in the court. When he heard Wang Jinghui praise Zhao Xu, Emperor Yingzong Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel proud. This son-in-law was also proud. Now there is a faint scene of the number one young hero in the Song Dynasty. With him to assist his son, Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu felt relieved.

Yingzong Zhao Shu said with a smile: "Since the virtuous son-in-law has agreed to assist me and Xu'er, I will write it down here today. Don't worry about the matter at the end of the day, it's better to regret it!"

Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu also thought about how to use his son-in-law for a while. It has been several years since Zhao Xu met Wang Jinghui to introduced him to him until now. The impression Wang Jinghui left on him can be perfect: benevolent, kind, extremely smart... But what annoyed him the most was that Wang Jinghui was indifferent to fame and dedicated his official position to live a rural life with his daughter. He wanted to retire at such a young age. This really made him feel a little ridiculous. Although Wang Jinghui is now the son-in-law, after all, talent is rare. As an emperor who wanted to revive the Song Dynasty, he withstood the pressure of the censor and the censor, he has always given his son-in-law to his son-in-law.

Seeing Wang Jinghui's speechless look, Yingzong Zhao Shu smiled and changed the topic and said, "Change it, how about the overseas trade in Chuzhou now?"

Wang Jinghui's head is a little too hard to turn around, but he still answered his father-in-law's question first: "It will take another month or two before he can come back. It is time to know the final result. However, the Municipal Yishu, which specializes in overseas trade in Chuzhou, has been established. It is similar to the Municipal Yishu in terms of administrative structure, but this is just a temporary measure. In the future, it will slowly change. Zhongchen mentioned the functions and responsibilities of the Municipal Yishu in the State Council. Although the cross-sea trade fleet has not returned yet, the fleet responsible for the Liao Dynasty has been traveling three times, smuggling cooking oil from the Liao Dynasty day and night, and the detailed work arranged by the Song Dynasty in the Liao Dynasty to protect it. There was no problem. The profit was estimated to be 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. The specific value must be asked by the people of the Privy Council located in the Chuzhou Municipal Yishu. However, Fu Gong and Han Gong should know the result now!"

The Song Dynasty's shipbuilding capacity is now the world's best. The ship used in the maritime smuggling trade led by Wang Jinghui alone is not the largest ship, but the carrying capacity of a ship can reach tens of thousands of stones, and a lucky ship can carry nearly 1,000 tons of edible oil. The Liao Kingdom is located in the north, and the raw materials and technology of oil pressing are far inferior to those of the Song Dynasty. It is simply a paradise for edible oil smuggling trade. Wang Jinghui said that smuggling profits were 200,000 to 300,000 guan, which is actually a conservative figure. It is estimated that the real profit should be 700,000 guan.

Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shuchen had already consulted Han Qi and Fubi about this matter, and naturally knew it. It was natural that Wang Jinghui reported such a large deviation, because although he was a military affairs in Chuzhou, the person who carried out the matter was directly under the Privy Council. Wang Jinghui would not exercise power beyond his scope indiscriminately, and it was natural for him to be cautious and not knowing it.

Yingzong Zhao Shu said with a smile: "It's the turn of Khitan children to have a headache!"

Wang Jinghui also smiled and said, "Some knowledgeable people in the Khitan may realize the mystery, but they will not do anything. Don't look at the monks inconspicuously, but they are protected by the powerful in the Khitan, and no one dares to buy this hornet's nest! In fact, not only smuggling cooking oil, but also surplus things from my Song Dynasty can take this sailboat to dump it on the Khitan. This not only supplements the finances of my Song Dynasty, but also attacks the foundation of the Khitan!"

Only then did Wang Jinghui realize that his father-in-law's name Liao Kingdom had become Khitan. Although it was a different name, Khitan was a name that Han intellectuals despised the Liao Kingdom very much, and he had a faint contemptuous attitude. Since his father-in-law had called him that, he also had to change it in time.

Yingzong Zhao Shu was already very familiar with Wang Jinghui's economic attack policy. The reason why Xixia has become like this now and has to swallow its anger and sit down with the Song Dynasty to discuss the issue of captives was certainly because of the domestic contradictions, but the cruel and effective economic sanctions on Xixia also played a very important role. Not only did it not lose the interests of the Song Dynasty. It also gained much more benefits than usual. Now the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers have already eaten a little bit of the marrow and taste. They have to implement a policy that can neither consume domestic strength nor can they attack opponents.

Yes, this is also something that Wang Jinghui feels very proud. Thinking of the fact that the United States would often join forces with a group of allies to impose economic sanctions on countries that they dislike, but he would not have to worry about it in the Song Dynasty: the Song Dynasty is undoubtedly the most economically powerful country in the current situation. As long as it can withstand the opponent's military offensive, it can wield the economic stick at will to sanction the opponent. The enemy country can only stand up and be slaughtered. What's more, the smuggling trade he vigorously advocates as a backing.

Yingzong Zhao Shu said: "What about the Khitans smuggling sea salt into our Song Dynasty?"

Wang Jinghui said: "This problem has been slowly being resolved. I have communicated with the rich man from the Privy Council many times. Then Chuzhou has the opportunity to establish a royal sea transport in the Song Dynasty. The land naval army was transferred from Lianshui Army, Quanzhou, and Hangzhou to form an armed fleet. However, these warships were used to deter pirate lands, and they could also draw out several warships to intercept Khitan smuggling ships along the coast of our Song Dynasty. Although the initial effect would not be very good, the implementation of the strategy of "maining military through merchants" will take less than one or two years to facilitate the North of the Song Dynasty to have a very powerful naval army. Needless to say, to deal with the Khitans' small boats smuggling sea salt. If the Song Dynasty is strong in the future and intends to recover the homeland of Yan, Zhao, Han and Tang dynasties, this navy can land on any coast of the northern Khitan to restrain the Khitan military mobilization, and then the action will be greater!"

Yingzong Zhao Shu had long experienced all the strategies presented to him by the prince-consort. He was a little dissatisfied at the time, but he did not expect that looking at the Khitan alone could get so much profit to support the army. The fleet operating between Goryeo and Song Dynasty would bring him a richer report. Yingzong Zhao Shu just took out 300,000 guan from the inner treasury and "entered" Wang Jinghui to do business. The profits obtained were used to cultivate a navy that could effectively deter the mainland, which would naturally become a reality in the next few years. 300,000 guan was replaced with a large navy, which made Yingzong Zhao Shu quite proud.

The face of Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu had a slight red color. He had made many achievements in the world, but he still used the greatest military merits to restore the hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties to fulfill the last wish of Emperor Taizong. This can be thought of in the minds of the kings of all generations of dynasties in the century-old Song Dynasty. In the early days of the founding of the dynasty and the Khitan army of Zhenzong, he had already scared the monarchs of the Song Dynasty. The idea of ​​regaining the hometown of the north has long become a mirror and a moon. Now the prince consort gives him a new hope. How can this not make him excited?!

Wang Jinghui saw the flushing face of Yingzong Zhao Shu. He knew that he was more excited about the big cake he drew, but his father-in-law's body was the one he cared about the most, so he stepped forward and said, "Father, please feel at ease first and let the child take your pulse. Although the father's dragon body is temporarily healthy, his mood must not be ups and downs, as this will damage the dragon body!"

Wang Jinghui's words gradually calmed down Yingzong Zhao Shu's mood. He stretched out his hand for Wang Jinghui and asked him to take his pulse. While taking his father-in-law's pulse, Wang Jinghui said to the eunuch beside him: "This father-in-law, please help me to quickly bring the 'quick-acting heart-saving pills' that the emperor often takes!"

The eunuch standing next to him looked a little old. After hearing Wang Jinghui's words, he also walked into the pavilion and saw Yingzong Zhao Shu nodding at him and said, "Do as the prince consort said, and bring the medicine!"

After seeing the emperor's words, the eunuch immediately took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and gave it to Wang Jinghui. Wang Jinghui took the porcelain bottle and put the mouth close to his nose and sniffed it gently, and then said: "This father-in-law, you ask the Imperial Hospital to remake a bottle of 'quick-acting heart-saving pills' according to the prescription I prescribed. The medicine used in this bottle of pills is not specially configured by me for the emperor!"

The eunuch next to him smiled and said, "The prince consort is really worthy of being a famous doctor. This is specially made by the Imperial Hospital on the prescription prescribed by the prince consort. The emperor already knows that the effect of taking is quite good!"

Wang Jinghui turned to look at Yingzong Zhao Shu. In fact, it was nothing if my father-in-law was excited. He was not worried when he was angry in Funing Palace just now. However, it was inappropriate to see his father-in-law's face flushed in his heart, so he had made some big fuss just now. Yingzong Zhao Shu also smiled and said to Wang Jinghui: "Change it, how do you know that this pill was not made according to your prescription? However, the effect of this pill is pretty good. After I took it, my chest tightness and asthma had been greatly reduced. This is your merit of offering medicine. I haven't rewarded you yet!"
