At the end of Song Dynasty: I want to be the master of ZTE

Chapter 208
"I am happy to see you, Your Majesty."

"I am free of charge." Zhao Shi looked at everyone with great interest, especially happy.

He is strong and burly, and looks like a good fighter. According to his contribution to Yingzhou and persuading the powerful Nanyang to serve as an internal response, he is appointed as the deputy capital commander. It must be said that he is very capable of judging the situation.

As for Wang Sigong, he looks like a wealthy man and is unremarkable. In fact, he is only responsible for liaising with internal agents and is responsible for the planning and implementation of specific actions.

"Nanyang was lost for a hundred and sixty years, and today it is restored to the possession of the country, all thanks to the efforts of all the ministers!"

"It's all thanks to His Majesty's wisdom and skill in commanding." Everyone was humble.

Zhao Shi was too lazy to be polite, so he named happy names and asked: "At present, along the Huaihe River, Gucheng, Yiling, and Nanyang are all the frontiers. The war will start at any time. Where is Qingyuan Town?"

He happily replied: "I am a native of Caizhou. I would like to go to Nanyang and take advantage of the opportunity to recover Caizhou."

"Good." Zhao Shi nodded and said: "Chen Yi and his son were captured before the battle and should be killed according to the law. However, if you have meritorious service, you will release them as civilians. After the dynasty is over, you will go to Tianlao to raise people."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." He bowed happily.

Zhao Shi signaled his disapproval, looked at Wang Sigong, and said: "You and your ancestors abide by their integrity and have not served the Tartars for more than a hundred years. Wang's army went north and risked his life to contact the internal affairs. Without praise, it is impossible to show loyalty. Can you have it?" What do you want?"

Wang Sigong paid homage and said: "I cannot herd the people with my words, and I cannot kill the enemy with force. I only want to live in the wilderness forever. Please do it for me, Your Majesty."

"Your intention is just to find a way out for Nanyang's power. I can allocate land overseas and allow it to develop, and you can stay in the government." Zhao Shidao.

"I promised everyone and I dare not break my promise." Wang Sigong replied.

"Come here, take a map of the South China Sea." The emperor shouted softly, and a personal guard immediately pushed the map over.

Zhao Shi pointed at the map and said: "In the past, Sri Lanka's deceased country was blackmailing Nanning, and Yu Rushi invited Ling Fang to attack together.

At that time, the gunboats were sailing in the South China Sea, and Ling Fangju went straight to the capital of his country. They defeated him in a battle. His king Pumari ceded territory and negotiated peace. Ling Fangju agreed, and now he is the governor of the strait appointed by the imperial court.

Along the coast, the land is fertile, the products are abundant, and there are civilized natives who can absorb it.

It is my intention that the Golden Marquis and the Liu Kingdom are all enfeoffed here. Now I will grant you the county magistrate and entrust the land to the left. Nanyang's powerful people can move and develop as they please. "

"I thank your Majesty for your kindness." Wang Sigong thanked him.

According to his merits, a viscount was worthy of the heaven, but the emperor cared about the loyalty of his family for generations and promoted him to the county uncle. The kindness was not small.

"Currently, Nanning has more than [-] internal immigrants, and has absorbed more than [-] indigenous, Champa, South Vietnamese, and Japanese people, totaling more than [-] people.

This has reached the limit, and the development of the country has also reached a stalemate. I want to relocate the powerful and powerful households in the country to Nanning. What do you think? " Zhao Shi asked.

"Your Majesty is wise." Chen Yizhong immediately offered his flattery and said: "The powerful people in the two lakes resisted the king's law and were unwilling to hand over their land. By moving overseas, they can ensure the development of the country's overseas land and equalize the domestic land. It really kills two birds with one stone."

“There is a lot of unowned land overseas, many of which are fertile and fertile. If the people are willing to go there, they can come to the court to apply for a development order and select a land to cultivate as long as they gather a thousand people.

Regardless of identity or origin, but based on ability, the court only gives letters and protection, but no money or food. What do you think? "Zhao Shi asked again.

Nowadays, there are many vacant fields in Jiangnan, Lianghu, and Jianghuai, and Zhendong Road is also working tirelessly to attract immigrants. Naturally, the people are not willing to go all the way to the South China Sea.

But overseas is the future direction after all, so Zhao Shi figured out the development order.

The so-called development order is basically a license that allows people to go to sea. At this time, permission is required to go to sea. Staying overseas without permission is tantamount to defecting. If you are killed, you will bring it upon yourself. The development order eliminates such worries.

"It is not appropriate to build a country without merit." Chen Yizhong objected, saying: "If he is ambitious, he might as well imitate the thirteen clans of Ningguo."

"What Prime Minister Chen said is absolutely true." Zhao Yuchen agreed: "The title comes from the superior. If you reward it casually, the uniforms of the court will be disordered and all the meritorious officials will be dissatisfied!" The ultimate principle is that receiving salary without merit is not the right way." Zeng Yuan said.

"Your Majesty." Li Tingzhi said: "If the country has not recovered yet, how can we go overseas? When the world is calm and the population is crowded, it will not be too late to open up again."

Seeing the opposition from all the ministers, Zhao Shi ignored the matter and said: "Today, I feel that the King of Gan did not enjoy wealth and honor during his life and died without benefiting his descendants, so I want to set up a retirement system.

However, the time for passing the imperial examination and being awarded an official position is uncertain. How do you think the solution will be solved? "

Everyone has thought about this problem, but apart from in-depth reform of the imperial examination, there is no other good solution.

For example, Wen Tianxiang won the first prize at the age of 21, Xie Fang in the same subject was 30 years old, and Li Bin and Xu Yiming were 34 and 38 years old respectively. They are still young. There are many people who are over [-] and have won the first prize.

Considering that most people today do not live to be 60 years old, the retirement age may be 50 years old. It is obviously inappropriate to retire after serving as an official for a few years.

In this regard, the emperor had some ideas for referring to future generations, but in order to avoid being rejected like a development order, Zhao felt that it was better to discuss it in private.

"Now the two lakes are restored,"

After retreating from the court, Gao Gao took the order and went straight to Tianlao.

Chen Yi and Chen Yan, father and son, were lamenting to each other. Seeing Gao Xing come in, Chen Yan cursed loudly: "You ungrateful people, my father and son lifted me up in vain, but you don't want to feed the white-eyed wolf!"

He was happy but not angry, and said: "Brother, don't be angry. The younger brother has obtained the order. The official is exempted from guilt and can be released from prison."

"Really?" Chen Yi asked.

He didn't care about himself, but he couldn't care less about his precious son, so he acted very eagerly.

"It's guaranteed to be true." He said happily, "My nephew risked his own life and sneaked into Nanyang to serve as an internal agent. He made some achievements and his benevolence as an official exempted his uncle and eldest brother from the guilt."

"Thank you very much." Chen Yi said with his hands in hand.

"My uncle has been as kind to me as a mountain, so my nephew should take good care of me." Gao Gao sold the favor, went through the formalities, took the two of them back, and held a banquet to wash away the dust.

After eating and drinking for a while, we couldn't help but talk about future development.

"The eldest brother is in his prime, and he can't help but waste his time at home. The younger brother has some ideas. I wonder if the eldest brother is willing to listen?" Gao Xing asked.

Chen Yan was quite dissatisfied with his behavior of selling out his father, but he just snorted coldly, but Chen Yi gave in.

He said happily: "The officials rewarded the meritorious officials and allowed the establishment of the country overseas. This time, Liu Shiyong was the leader of the southward expedition, and there were also people like Nanyang's old king Si Gong.

Both my uncle and eldest brother have great talents, and their family wealth is equally rich. It is better to choose a country and invest in it. With time, it may not be impossible to start from the outside in. "

Chen Yi fell into deep thought.

They were not demoted, but captured, and there was no possibility of recovery. In this era where the official position is the first, this is obviously unacceptable.

And the idea of ​​happiness may not be a way out.

Work hard to become the prime minister of the overseas feudal country, and choose the opportunity to return to the Central Plains to serve as an official. No matter what happens, you can ensure prosperity and wealth in the feudal country.

"My nephew inquired and understood that no official is willing to go to Nanning. Yu Rusi's subordinates are in urgent need of talents. If my uncle goes, he must be reused." Gao Xing added without losing the opportunity.

Chen Yi put down his wine glass and said in a deep voice: "In that case, my father and son will join the Nanning Kingdom!"
