No shortage of walls

Song Xingdao:"That's right, Mr. Jin, the newspaper will be published first, and the imperial edict will arrive soon. Say something in the newspaper, and then the imperial edict will be published with the newspaper. It will always be the imperial edict newspaper. The two are too busy. Let's exaggerate a little. When it comes to June, it's scary." Scared the people of Qi."

Jin Chuan said:"I obey the order! Your Majesty!"

Liu Gongquan said:"Back to Your Majesty! A fine salt-making master has escaped. According to the route, he ran to Qi State. Weichen has caught him."

Song Xing was surprised.. Said:"So fast? The spies of the Qi people are quite capable. It seems that they have been operating in the Song Dynasty for a long time."

Huang Quan, the Minister of Punishment, said:"Your Majesty! This person should punish the three tribes."

The ministers agreed.

Ye Zhisheng, the left minister of the Ministry of War, said:"Salt and iron have always been the most important thing in the country since ancient times. The magic skills of making salt are still passed down by His Majesty himself. The disciples of the emperor are so traitorous and treasonous that they can punish the five tribes."

Song Xing asked:"Have you checked clearly? ?"

Liu Gongquan hurriedly raised his hands and said:"The salt-making master escaped yesterday. I just received the letter before I went to court today, and I don't know yet."

Guan Duhua, the Minister of Household Affairs, said:"Who recommended it? Lian Zhu……"Speaking of Lien Zhu, I thought to myself, what if the emperor himself chose it? Thinking of this, I dare not say anything.

Song Xing naturally understood what he meant. Said:"Let me think about it. It seems that the governor of Kyoto recommended it, Liu Gongquan, you have full authority to handle this matter, investigate it clearly, and punish the three tribes! The woman will be assigned as a slave; there is no need to ask for a decree. After that, Master Jin will write a newspaper to inform the world.

" People should kneel down.

Song Xingdao:"Master Hubu Guan, Deputy Cui Zheng will transport the gold and silver cloth from the north soon. Your Hubu will carefully count it and return it to the national treasury. Those cloths are said to be of good quality, but I have seen them before, and they are too high." After a long time, there is no use for them. Sell them until they are sold out."

Guan Duhua said:"I obey the order!"

Qiu Ying, the right minister of the Ministry of War, said:"I suggest that we send troops to attack Suiguo."

Song Xing was surprised again. He asked:"Okay, why do you want to hit someone? This is not the time to fight."

Qiu Ying said:"I heard that Sui Guo sent letters of credence and wanted the emperor's crystal."

Song Xing smiled. He said:"The Ministry of Rites told me two days ago, is it the small piece in the imperial study?"

There is a piece of crystal in the imperial study. The length and width are no more than a foot. It was still compensated by Chen Guo, and it was still paid by Prince Jing after he took over Princess Jing. , Princess Yijing of the Chen State was a traitor to the Chen State and came to ask for a letter of credence.

At that time, Prince Jing and his wife had just had a real relationship and had not yet gotten married. In anger, he led his troops to attack the State of Chen. Are you here to steal my women?

Chen Guo was immediately frightened. Knowing that he was the eldest prince and the God of War of the Southern Song Dynasty, he did not expect that he would dare to send troops for a woman; and Chen Guo was small, and the old emperor seemed not to know. People hurriedly took this treasure to the old emperor to plead for mercy.

The old emperor knew that although Chen State was small, it was a strategic buffer because it was rich in salt wells. Once he was touched, several neighboring countries would take action. At this time, the Song Dynasty was not yet unified, so it was not appropriate to have too many enemies. He asked for an extra 10,000 catties of salt from the Chen Kingdom, and then ordered King Jing to come back.

Few people know this. As soon as he said this, all the ministers agreed.

Liu Cheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, said:"This is still the state. Suiguo's words are insulting to the state. This treasure is still the relic of King Jing, and it is in the window of the imperial study. Our country of the Song Dynasty is at peace all over the world. Suiguo is an insult to our country. The country of the Song Dynasty is so poor that it sells its treasures." We have saved the country, it's time to attack him."

Liu Gongquan said:"We will first send spies from the army to explore the country's military so that we can attack. It will take one month, and the emperor will make preparations first."

Song Xing said:"No need to be angry, ministers. This matter is mine. After talking to the queen mother, she said that everything was for the sake of the Song Dynasty, so there was no defense. But after all, it was a relic of the late father and would not be sold. It was probably because Sui Guo heard the news that I asked Long Quan to sell the belongings of the Northern Palace, and he wanted to If it's crystal, it's not a good thing."

Jin said:"This treasure is transparent but not breathable, and it's still a rare treasure. How come it's not a good thing?"

Song Xing said:"Forget it, my people don't even have enough to eat. Forget it, Ministry of Rites, go and ask Sui Guo. I will make him one ten times the size with my own hands. How much grain will he give? I heard that Xia State has so much grain that they can pave roads and sell it to Xia State in the future. Don’t stare at this bullshit. , I can do it! Just making glass, quit, I have to eat, you can discuss it yourself."

After saying that, he got up and patted his butt and left. Although he knew that crystal and glass are not the same thing, crystal has patterns. It's not a good thing either. The glass is grainless and will definitely scare them to death.

People of this era, who knows what glass is?

All the ministers had no choice but to retreat, but the Minister of Rites and the Minister of Industry were still determined to be evil and wanted to see him in the imperial study, but Lu Zhi had already stopped them. It is said that the emperor said that the time has not yet come and we will wait until the workshop is built.

When the ministers heard that the emperor could also make crystals, they were so surprised that their jaws dropped.

Up to now, all orthodox emperors can mention it.

On the fifth day of March, Liu Chengwen, the Minister of Rites, took a carriage to Tangshan Pass. The national road of the Song Dynasty had just begun to be built. Fortunately, there were small roads before. Although it was not good, it was still very comfortable with two quilts under my buttocks.

The day after Liu Chengwen set out, the orthodox newspaper of the Song Dynasty was published in the March issue; at the border gates of neighboring countries, ten copies were sent to each border gate for free, so that the soldiers rushed away; when they arrived at the border gates, the border gate guards Send them to neighboring countries through normal national etiquette.

The soldiers were in a hurry, and of course they were faster than Liu Chengwen's carriage. Before Liu Chengwen arrived, Song's newspapers had already been sent to foreign countries.

The March regular issue of the first year of Orthodoxy. The first thing is to write a close-up of Liu Chengwen’s trip and mark that in the future, newspapers will have the same validity as imperial edicts, because in the Song Dynasty and even in the whole world, only the Song Dynasty had a newspaper. To be solemn, every newspaper has the same effect as the imperial edict. Imperial decrees and other matters are all stamped with the emperor's seal. After the explanation, everything the orthodox newspapers said was an imperial edict! All major national affairs, as long as they are not confidential, are reported in newspapers, which indicate that Mr. Liu Chengwen, the Minister of Rites of the Song Dynasty, is on a business trip to the surrounding areas.

In the spirit of business and exchange, we hope to achieve long-term success; we hope that all neighboring countries, big and small, will put aside all prejudices; we will take it as our own responsibility to feed and clothe the people of the world, and for the sake of a safe, happy and happy life for the people of the world, everything will be connected. For the first time in the Song Dynasty, If you take the initiative to go out, you will have more and more business transactions in the future.

The second thing is that for the unknown amount of transactions, the imperial edict gives the answer; once the negotiation is completed, the grains will come in immediately. The army workers who were sent to build roads and workshops were fed well so that they could have the strength to work. The cattle and horses were collected by the border guards, and there were other imperial arrangements. From then on, the army and political officials of the Song Dynasty all Newspapers are distributed free of charge, one for each company in the army, and one copy for each county for political affairs. The court is responsible for the expenses. There is also a military and political private newspaper, one for each second-rank commander in the army. For political affairs, each large city has a share of the fourth-grade prefect. This is still a secret matter of the court. If the seal is broken before the private report arrives, the messenger can be killed. The general and the prefect will keep the state secrets. Anyone who violates it will at least have his whole family executed. Occasionally, maybe only once every six months.
