No shortage of walls

Everyone in the Song Dynasty knew that the orthodox emperor was filial, and as long as the empress dowager agreed, there would be no problem with the emperor. It's just that the Empress Dowager adheres to ancient etiquette and still dare not make the decision.

The people of Qi also guessed that it was a private transaction between Emperor Song's son and the Hu people. If Dong Hu hadn't launched a strong offensive in the north of Qi and forced himself to trade with the Hu people, the situation might have been different again. The political strategy between the countries depends on Forget it in the eyes, who is going to provoke it in person? There is no benefit in provoking it. It's snowing, and the delivery is fat pigs. They are not included in the private transaction between Song and Hu. It was negotiated under the orders of the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty. The delivery is still at Yuzhou Pass. There are only two thousand fat pigs. There is not half a piece of crystal treasure that Long Quan said the day before yesterday is more important than Mr. Long's life. Song Jun, who is waiting for the pork in black, has not yet reached the gap between his teeth.

The people of Song Dynasty only agreed to the exchange of two thousand fat pigs in the presence of the third prince. It was purely a political consideration.

Of course Qi Jun understood that the Song State sent so many soldiers to wait for the pork, just to protect themselves. How much fat is left after peeling off a pig? Besides, in addition to the belly of the pig, there is also a layer of fat under the skin. After peeling off the white meat, there is really not much left.

Domestic pigs in this era had half lean meat and half fat meat. The poor are newly rich, they have just eaten, and they really like fat meat. Unfortunately, there is no fat meat, so they have to go back to the workshop.

But an emperor throughout the ages has never bought meat like this for soldiers, soldiers and political officials to eat. And regardless of rank, as long as they are serving public officials, even soldiers, government watchmen, and even family members, how can we not make public officials scream?

At the same time, the soldiers also knew that if they gathered at the border of Qi State to eat meat, if there was any change in Qi State, they would attack Qi State first. In the past, the generals from all over the country had written letters of challenge more than once to impress the people of Qi, but the emperor had already suppressed them. This time the people of Qi are rushing to hand over fat pigs, which disturbs my interest in eating meat. They have to go over and kill the whole family of Qi Jun to relieve their hatred.

It's just that he knows it well. Everyone knows that those who sell pigs get the money and those who buy pigs eat the meat.

As for the business negotiation, Qi State also guessed that it was the Song State's intention. It was said that the emperor was traveling around the world and the empress dowager kept the ancient etiquette. He even sent someone to talk about the empress dowager's intention, but also did not want to break her face. That’s all.

After much talk, it all came down to Song and Hu's secret deal. It's just that it was said to be a secret deal, so we can only guess; it is impossible for Qi State to know about the secret deal between Song and Hu.

The people of Qi knew that as long as the secret deal between Song and Hu had not reached the agreed deadline, the business between Song and Qi could not be concluded. Song State sent someone here for political purposes, and it happened that he needed it too, so let's talk.

These are all political falsehoods. Although both parties smiled broadly during the conversation, turned their heads lightly, and greeted each other's mother cordially and friendly.

Moreover, the third prince had some secret dealings with Song officials, and in the name of smuggling, he pushed them to private merchants for smuggling. Although it is not as convenient as normal transactions, at least it is still possible to buy and sell in small quantities. It's just that so-called smuggling involves a large number of individuals. But for countries, it’s just hair smuggling. What kind of nonsense is there?

But Qi Jun didn't expect that Song State deliberately cultivated the reputation and ability of its third prince. Otherwise, there would be no smuggling; the second prince also wanted to smuggle, but no private businessmen dared to smuggle with him at the risk of having all the men killed and the women becoming slaves.

Everyone in the Song Dynasty knew that Long Quan was not gentle. No relevant controls, deliberate release of water, smuggling? Are you overthinking it?

Song Xing was in a good mood all the way to Qingzhou Pass.

Recently, a message has been sent to the central court saying that the Hu people have complained about Long Quan's poor management, which has led to private merchants smuggling and selling Song Dynasty goods into Qi. To make the Hu people less earn a lot of money, knowing that it was bound to happen, he could only issue an edict to scold Long Quan severely; on the one hand, he ordered the Ministry of Rites to go to the Hu people to apologize, but it was all arranged anyway; but not many people knew about it, so he followed the national It's just a matter of state etiquette. At this moment, I just hope that the Hu people will not attack too early and let Long Quan take the blame until the end of the year.

Since we only agreed to the Hu people for one year, we could just let Long Quan change his defense.

Qingzhou Pass has been controlled by Lu Li.

Lu Li and other troops were still part of King Jing's old troops. They had been waiting in the pass early, looking at the green sugar cane all over the mountains and plains, asking them to find a big one and cut one off and bite it. It's about two inches in diameter and more than ten feet tall, but it's really hard and very sweet. He said,"The army is set up to protect the country. In the future, green cane will be gradually given over to the common people to grow and rent out. Let Dingzhou do it and leave a place for training sergeants."

Lu Li said,"Yes.!"

Song Xingdao:"Tell it to the prefect of Dingzhou. Although the court collects green sugarcane every year, the price is not bad. But don't set the land rent too high. Make it profitable for the people, and don't give it all to the rich. I am doing it for the people of the Song Dynasty. It is no problem for the rich to get richer, but the poor will get poorer, and the country will not be stable."

"yes!"

"Was the barracks over there built in the original place? Lu Li said:"

Yes, Your Majesty!" The Song Rugou thieves burned the original one, and General Liu Jingyun rebuilt it on the original site. The sergeant had seen life and death and did not care about it. The purpose of building a new one on the original site was to let the dead soldiers know that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty will always remember them, stay with their comrades, and still have the soul of a soldier.. Song

Xing nodded:"My ten thousand soldiers died in their sleep there. Although the Liao Dynasty returned to the Song Dynasty and there is no hatred, the heroic spirit of the soldiers is still there. I want to go and see it.""

Song Xing walked slowly over and looked at each barracks. In Qingzhou Pass, all the sergeants were moved inexplicably and knelt down in ceremony.

Lu Li originally had 20,000 Prince Jing's old troops. After taking over Liu Jingyun's handover, he Ten thousand new recruits are trained here. Those who maintain public security are still experienced. As for the business, they will be familiar with it in three or two months. Once they are familiar with it, there will be no need for more manpower. Lu Li manages the army strictly, including public security, business, and arresting rebels in the Song Dynasty. After the people who returned to Liao were arranged, they often personally trained the new soldiers, mainly to improve their combat effectiveness, and secondly, to train them to be as loyal as King Jing's old troops. Today, I am here to welcome the Holy Emperor, not intentionally, but just happened to be here.

Everyone. When the sergeant saw that the emperor was remembering the dead sergeant, he felt a kind of unswerving loyalty in his heart. After so many years in the Song Dynasty, how could he see the emperor personally remembering the dead soldiers? At most, the Qingyuan Emperor had just divided the Song Dynasty into two. At that time, he said something, but he forgot it quickly afterwards, and he only cared about the imperial power and checking and balancing the forces of all parties.

He himself died unexpectedly for the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty. It was still caused by himself. According to the original law of the Song Dynasty, soldiers were not allowed to discuss politics, and they were generals. , they all enjoy glory and wealth based on their military exploits. The prince is the same as the emperor. He always maintains neutrality. The matter of seizing the heir in the court has nothing to do with the generals. It is Qingyuan himself who took the lead in breaking the laws of the Song Dynasty.

Since soldiers cannot discuss politics, you check and balance the power of the army. What's the matter? Moreover, the elite soldiers are safer in the hands of his eldest son than in the hands of other generals, but Zhao Dian gave them to foreign surnames in order to balance the power of the prince.
