Lord Moyu was forced to open

Household class room.

This year, the Household Department has been busy all year round. With the completion of the clearing of land and acres, the Household Department has a lot of data that needs to be recalculated every day. It reorganizes and registers the land and acres in the world. It is so busy every day that it never touches the ground. .

At the end of another morning session, Cui Wen and a group of household officials hurried to the squad room to prepare for today's work.

However, when he arrived at the door of the class room, he heard a group of household clerks in the class room talking about something.

Cui Wen, who was walking at the front, frowned immediately, pushed open the door to the class room and walked in.

He made quite a commotion, and the household officials who had been discussing something just now became quiet, even a little scary.

"Say it! Why don't you say it? What are you talking about so early in the morning? Let me listen and see what gossip is happening in Bianjing City, so that you can even put your work aside and chew it here Tongue."

Cui Wen glanced at everyone coldly, then sneered and asked:

"He hates people who don't work well. Today, these officials are in his hands."

All the officials looked at each other, no one dared to speak, and after a long silence, Cui Wen pointed directly at one person and asked: "Xu Yong, I saw that you were very happy with what you said just now, why don't you speak now?

What kind of gossip is going on? Do you want me to hear it? "

Xu Yong, who was directly named, secretly cursed that it was unfortunate. He had already been named, and he could no longer pretend to be silent.

Xu Yong immediately spoke out the topic just now.

"Uh... To reply to Master Shangshu, we were just discussing a strange thing that happened in Bianjing this year."

A strange thing?

Cui Wen was stunned when he heard this, and then continued to ask: "What's weird?"

Xu Yong looked around and found that he was alone and helpless. He suddenly said with despair on his face: "We are talking about the red-haired ghost entering Beijing."

"Red-haired ghost?"

Cui Wen was confused and didn't know what he was talking about. At this time, Li Xiaowu, the left servant of the household department behind him, hurriedly stepped forward and whispered in his ear:
"Sir, this red-haired ghost is most likely those Westerners that His Majesty just mentioned earlier. They are the people from Great Britain who said they wanted to trade with our Song Dynasty. It is said that they have red hair and blue eyes. There is no news about them these days. It has always been spread in Bianjing, and everyone calls them red-haired ghosts. "

After listening to Li Xiaowu's answer, Cui Wen finally understood who the red-haired ghost was referring to, but then he was shocked again. He looked at Xu Yong in surprise and asked: "What did you just say? The red-haired ghost came to Beijing?! ?”

Xu Yong nodded and said:

"The news spread throughout Bianjing this morning. Wang Ce led a group of red-haired ghosts into the capital early in the morning. Now they should settle down at Honglu Temple."

"It happened!"

Cui Wen's face darkened immediately after hearing the news. Liu Xiaowu didn't know why and asked, "Master Shangshu, what's wrong with you? Isn't it just a red-haired fan who came to Beijing? What's going on?"

Cui Wen shook his head with an ugly face and said: "It doesn't matter whether they enter the capital or not, what matters is what their coming to the capital represents.

You don’t know that His Majesty summoned six of our ministers a few days ago and wanted us to support him in allowing the Song Dynasty to expand abroad. Like those small European countries, they are looking for new lands to establish colonies.

But we were blocked back.

Now that the Song Dynasty has just settled down, and all the messy things in the country have not been dealt with yet, there is no time to reach out. Isn't this just adding to the chaos?

His Majesty was naturally unwilling to give up after being blocked by us, and soon there were rumors about the Peach Blossom Land in Bianjing.

How could we not know that this rumor was spread by His Majesty? He clearly wanted to use the Peach Blossom Spring to attract people and get us to agree to his proposal to expand colonies from the bottom up.

It doesn't matter, after all, what he said was too exaggerated, and not many people would believe such nonsense.

But the spread of the second rumor was His Majesty's real method. He described the envoys of Great Britain as strange people from the Peach Blossom Land.

At first, everyone didn't believe it, just like they didn't believe in the Peach Blossom Spring, they didn't believe that there would be people like Rakshasa ghosts in this world.

But now that the red-haired devil has entered the capital and made it known to the whole of Bianjing in such a high-profile manner, this will be like a spark that will directly ignite suspicion throughout the capital.

Now that the red-haired ghosts have appeared, what about the Peach Blossom Spring?

Everyone will begin to wonder if the Peach Blossom Spring is real?
Is there really such a place in this world?
If there really was such a place, why couldn't they go gold mining?
This huge profit will drive the people from the bottom up to force the imperial court to expand abroad, and this will achieve what His Majesty wants! "

Now that the situation has been established, I'm afraid we can't stop His Majesty!
But Da Song Dynasty has just stabilized a little bit! Why is Your Majesty so anxious?

Can’t Da Song be given a break? "

Cui Wen sighed helplessly.

……

"Have a rest? Why rest?"
In a time of great strife and unprecedented changes, others will not take a break if you take a break. While you are secretly taking a break, Europa's footsteps have already traveled all over the world. By the time you have a rest, they will The whole world will be divided up. When the Song Dynasty goes out, everything will be over, and you won't even be able to eat the leftovers!

Now I, Da Song, want money and have money! There are people who need people! It requires technology, and even the mobilization capacity and scale of mobilization are far beyond those of the European countries. Why should we watch others eat meat and drink wine, but we can't even take a sip of soup!
I must take Da Song to take a big bite of this fat piece of sailing. No one can stop me!

If I don’t do this when I have the ability, will it be possible that in future generations, our descendants will see people working an eight-hour day, two days off a week, eight days or even ten days off a month, but they can still do things that are beyond us? Are you drooling while enjoying life with five or ten times higher wages?
At that time, it will be time for future generations to complain about why our ancestors did not work hard!

besides! I will never allow my descendants to learn Spanish from Lao Shizi. I will make Song Dynasty Mandarin the real first language in the world. From now on, everyone must learn Song dialect instead of learning Spanish!

I want our descendants to be able to eat and die on the rich property our ancestors left to them!
No more worries about life!

Colonize! It is imperative! "

Zhao Jun said the above words to Zhang He categorically.

Immediately afterwards, he asked Wang Huaien to summon Paul and other people to the Imperial Palace, preparing to meet these foreign envoys representing the Queen of Great Britain and get some information he wanted to know from them.
