Speaking of which, the biggest thing for the country now, which is also something that continues to be in operation, is to prepare to recover Yanyun.

This is really not a trivial matter. It can be said that it will be a battle that will overwhelm the country. The imperial court will use all the power of the imperial court to attack the Liao Dynasty in the north, and the northern Liao Dynasty will definitely use all the power of the imperial court to resist.

Everyone knows that it will not be limited to the problem of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.

In the early years, recapturing Yanyun would be absolutely satisfying for Guochao, but now, as long as construction starts, Yanyun is no longer the goal... By the way, the market for Guochao Yangfang's products is now huge, and the profits are huge.

, Wool is controlled by Bei Liao, why not take the lead on your own?

Therefore, the imperial court can now take a fancy to the desert. The endless grasslands and herds of cattle and sheep are very tempting to the imperial ministers.

In the face of general trends and great profits, pirates know how to make trade-offs with this small amount of profit.

Zhang Dun's words won the support of all the elders.

As for the fourth prince, he also knew that it was impossible to tell the court all at once. The first reason why he spoke out was to show off to his father and show off his achievements over the years.

The second point is to leave an impression to the court that the sea has countless wealth.

He sometimes still wonders, in the early years when the country was eating grain, why did they not think about the benefits of the sea?

The cabinet still gave the fourth prince a chance to show off. The figure of 30 million yuan still attracted the attention of the cabinet.

Even now that the country has been reborn, its annual tax revenue is only 20 million or 30 million yuan, which is comparable to the wealth of the country. Anyway, Bianliang cannot compare.

That only requires 5,000 people! The ratio of input and reporting is really eye-watering.

Therefore, the fourth prince began to tell the story of their ragtag group's battle.

How about naval battles, the intensity of artillery fire, the bravery of fighting closely when jumping gangs, and the vastness and ruthlessness of the sea. From naval battles to landing battles, to countless small islands, countless pirate strongholds, and countless others

Exhausted treasure······

For a moment, it really made people feel like they were on the scene. Even Han Zhen, who lived the most comfortable life, felt a little excited.

On the boundless sea, the two fleets met suddenly. There was no need for any tactics at all. From the moment they discovered each other, it was clear that they had entered a battle...

The trebuchets, crossbows, and artillery unique to the country started in an instant.

The blue sky and the blue sea are shrouded in this area by the tragic battlefield... What kind of picture would that be?

It really makes people feel regretful that even though they can't go there, they still yearn for it.

Then, the fourth prince continued to talk about barter.

Merchants from Goryeo, Fusang, Jurchen, including Chenla and Champa in Southeast Asia, and as far away as Dashi and Persia, all had ships in the East China Sea.

And these various people are also part of the pirates.

On the sea, there is actually no obvious difference between merchants and pirates. When you need to do business, you are merchants, and when you need to rob, you are pirates. All merchants engaged in maritime trade know this.

This is also the reason why the profits of maritime business are huge and the risks are also huge.

On the sea, there is a world without any order, basically relying on combat power...

It is estimated that at this time, the cabinet will feel that the navy's escort is a bit wasteful.

Ambition needs to be nourished, and interest is the best food to nourish ambition.

Everything is good in Guochao, but it is ambitious. The atmosphere of the entire Guochao is accustomed to and comfortable with gentleness. Zhao Xi really hopes to cultivate a kind of ambition in Guochao, which has nothing to do with power, but pure ambition for wealth...

"Dad, gentlemen, we talked about recovering Yanyun and fighting against Liao. We once met a person, a Jurchen, who seemed to be the leader of some tribe."

"I once offered Hai Dongqing and a girl as a price in exchange for muskets, not just one or two. After I refused, I didn't give up and sent people to contact me many times."

"Finally, he said that he knew that we were from the Song Dynasty and must have connections with the imperial court. He hoped that the imperial court could help them and that they would cooperate with the imperial court to attack the Northern Liao Dynasty..."

At the end, the fourth prince talked about the Jurchen tribe as if he were joking. In his opinion, the Jurchens' rebellion against the Northern Liao Dynasty was like the uprising of dozens of farmers with hoes in the imperial dynasty.

In the early years, it was true that these things happened to the State and the Dynasty. He had also read some records of the Jiangwu Hall, and it was impossible for them to happen. He also said that he would cooperate with the State and the Dynasty to attack the Northern Liao Dynasty. He really thought that he was the overlord of one side.

"There should be quite a few disobedient tribes in the Northern Liao Dynasty. This is not surprising. Hai Dongqing and the girl are the contributions that the Northern Liao Dynasty received from the Jurchens. It is normal to treat them as gifts."

"Just ignore it."

"For disobedience, even the subordinate tribes of Northern Liao should not be supported by the dynasty. Disobedience is not allowed for any dynasty!"

This is a matter of values. Regardless of whether the cabinet really thinks so, they will not support a rebellious person in public. Even Beiliao is like this.

This has nothing to do with whether Bei Liao is a brotherly state, but only about the great righteousness. Just like when there was civil strife in Dali, the country sent troops to assist the Duan family to destroy the Gao family. It is not important what the result is, what is important is to stand on the righteousness.

What kind of business is it for an upright dynasty to have contact with a rebellious subordinate tribe?

"Who is this person's last name?"

"Back to dad, it seems to be called Keribao..."

Sure enough, history really has its inevitable laws, and Wanyan Keribao appeared.

Others don't know this man, but Zhao Xi knows it. He has a son, a son named Wanyan Aguda. It was that son who destroyed Beiliao...

The original imperial dynasty would have contacted this rebellious minister, and it was also because of the contact that Wanyan Aguda saw the Song Dynasty, which was only a pretense.

It was this man named Wanyan Aguda who single-handedly caused the pain that the descendants of the Zhao family could not let go...it is too difficult to describe.

"Fourth Son, you need to contact this person..."

"Official family······"

As soon as Zhao Xi opened his mouth, Wang Anshi wanted to stop. How could this be allowed? Doesn't this mean that the country tolerates disobedience?

"After I finish speaking, Fourth Son, when the connection is close to a certain level, I want you to wipe out their whole family! No one will be left alive! Can you do it?"

"Daddy, my kid... I can do it!"

The fourth prince didn't understand why his father was so ruthless. It was just a small tribe. The late emperor and his father would even pardon some of the treasonous things in the country... It was said that the court had done it well, so naturally there was nothing wrong with it.

of rebellion.

"Very good. I believe you can do a good job. Zirong, provide the latest fuse gunpowder from Gongfang City to the fourth prince... In addition, fourth prince, I will give you the reward of five martial knights."
