Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 856

Princess Anna pondered for a long time before finally nodding her head affirmatively. Song and Rome's practices are the same. This is the background, so she agreed with Zhao Huan's practice and even made notes.

"I have noticed that the Wa Kingdom, Mobei, and Kelei have all sent official documents asking for help. Your Majesty knows that Humbert is my godfather. I still know a little bit about the Mobei tribes. I don't know if Your Majesty is going to rescue them. What about it?" Princess Anna looked at the little book and asked another question.

Zhao Huan was silent for a while and asked back: "If France or England, or the current Holy Roman Empire asks your Rome for help, and you are the king of the Roman Empire, how would you choose?"

Princess Anna was a little confused by this rhetorical question. After all, she had left her home country for several years. After thinking for a long time, she shook her head and said, "Our situation is not very good. When the plague was raging, we couldn't protect ourselves, let alone Don't talk about helping others."

Hearing such an honest answer, Zhao Huan nodded with a smile and said: "We are helping the Wa Kingdom, helping Goryeo, and we have great intentions to help Mobei. , but we're still doing it."

"We have an old saying in the Song Dynasty, which is called the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. If all the barbarians are in danger, the Song Dynasty will be in danger, and it is impossible to be alone."

Anna nodded, recorded these words, and said with a sigh: "I envy the Song Dynasty for having such a vast territory, I also envy the Song Dynasty for having such efficient bureaucrats, and I also envy the people of the Song Dynasty for being so intelligent." , When an epidemic occurs, we can come up with so many solutions.”

"If Rome was still the superpower around the Mediterranean, I think we would also be able to help those barbarians tide over their difficulties."

Princess Anna, who finished recording, asked with a smile: "I learned from Honglu Temple that Da Song is very polite to merchants from foreign countries and encourages them to come to Da Song to do business. I know this is a good thing, but Honglu Temple today It also talked about an issue, that is, maritime merchants returning from overseas."

Honglu Temple is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Song Dynasty, mainly responsible for foreign affairs. With the increasing frequency of foreign trade, there are more and more foreign merchants in the Song Dynasty. They have an urgent willingness to understand the policies of the Song Dynasty.

Today, when the Great Song Bookstore and various tabloids are becoming more and more prosperous, the Honglu Temple’s answering meeting every ten days has become a window to understand the wishes of the Great Song Dynasty. At present, the six ministries and various departments will also answer some discussions about policies in the Honglu Temple .

This was achieved by Li Bangyan making full use of his contacts, and Zhao Huan was happy to see it succeed.

Anna looked at the official's pensive look, and asked a little apologetically: "Your Majesty, I did not mean to offend. Honglu Temple refused to answer this question, and Chen Chong, who was in charge of the Department of Shipping and Commerce of the Great Song Dynasty, also refused. That answered the question, but the issue of these merchants returning home needs to be addressed.”

Zhao Huan finally recovered from his contemplation, and said with a smile: "Their identities are very special. My decision is that they can go back to China, but they must cooperate with my epidemic prevention tactics. They need to be in the quarantine area established by the Shibo Department, quietly. Quarantine for 7 to 14 days is fine."

"The official is really benevolent." Anna said with a look of surprise: "Why do you want to do this?"

"Because they are from Song Dynasty." Zhao Huan said affirmatively.

"My God! Father God, is it just because they are from the Song Dynasty?" Anna said with a look of disbelief: "You know I'm not talking about maritime merchants, but merchants who returned from overseas. When they were in trouble, , fled the country."

Anna's question is about the first year of Jingkang, the army of the Song Dynasty was defeated by the Jin people, and the people in Hedong and Hebei fled south. This panic of fleeing spread to Jiangnan, Lianghuai, Liangzhe, Fujian, and Lingnan. As a result, a large number of wealthy businessmen fled the Song Dynasty with a large amount of money, and fled to the countries of Wa, Champa, and Wanli Haitang.

Now the Great Song Dynasty is as prosperous as before, but the plague in Champa, Li Dynasty, and Wanlihaitang countries driven by the epidemic in the Wa country is getting more and more fierce.Those who ran away at the beginning are now coming back.

In Anna's eyes, this is no different from traitors, but the Emperor Song actually agreed to their return.

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "They are all from the Song Dynasty, so of course they are eligible to come back. Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and they fly separately when disaster strikes. What's more, a court that is unsightly and untrustworthy."

Anna finally nodded in conviction, and she said while writing: "Now I am more and more convinced that Your Majesty is the Oriental King John I am looking for."

Zhao Huan looked at Anna with reverence in his eyes, and explained: "You know, they have a lot of wealth. Of course, they have a huge network of contacts and relationships in Wanli Haitang, which is more valuable than the value of wealth itself. "

"This is also the basis for them to flee there. I believe that these contacts, relationships, and commercial ports can be used by Song Dynasty to speed up business exchanges between countries."

Anna looked at Zhao Huan in surprise: "Your Majesty is not only a benevolent king, but also a shrewd businessman."

Li Qingzhao laughed out loud when he heard this sentence. This is the cultural difference. In the Song Dynasty, he told the king that he was a businessman, and he was always so out of place.

Looking at the notebook full of notes in her hand, Anna stared with a little satisfaction and asked, "Your Majesty said before that if a locust plague breaks out somewhere, His Majesty will eat locusts raw. "

Zhao Huan chose to refuse to answer this question. This was an open handicap in the market, and Zhao Huan's opening of his mouth was the end of the game.

Princess Anna flicked her hair behind her ears, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the concubine has passed the screening. When can I have a child with Your Majesty? Your Majesty is the emperor of the Song Dynasty and wants to be King John in the East, but I think Bring back a King John of the West."

Zhao Huan shook his head and said: "You have to pass the next screening before you can be promoted to concubine, but after being promoted to concubine, you have to stay in the palace for the rest of your life, even on the day when I despise you and become ugly, you can only live here In the cold palace. Unless I die, you will never be able to leave this palace."

Zhao Huan looked at Anna with a little panic in his eyes, and knew that she didn't know how strict the rules of the Song Dynasty royal family were compared with the chaotic Europa royal family.

"You'd better think clearly, if you're just a court lady, you can leave the palace and marry someone else." Zhao Huan asked with a smile, "You've been holding this notebook, what are you writing in?"

Anna raised the notebook in her hand and said with a smile, "Is this it? I call it "Bianjing Ten Days Talk."
