With this kind of atmosphere, Zhou Rong quickly understood what Zhao Tai meant, which was to attract Southern Song Dynasty merchants and use them to develop the feudal government's business, thus increasing the feudal government's commercial tax revenue.

Zhou Rong nodded, "I understand, what should the king do to the city?"

Zhao Taidao: "I am going to ask Hu Zhen to go to Jiangnan to persuade the businessmen there to invest in and build workshops in Haizhou or come to trade. You are the magistrate of Haizhou. I hope you will send people or follow Hu Zhen personally.

, to persuade those merchants to invest in Haizhou under your rule. The first batch of merchants introduced are mainly shipbuilders and merchants engaged in maritime trade."

Although Sun Baili promised to build a shipbuilding workshop, Zhao Tai was worried that with only this one, the price of seagoing ships would not be able to be lowered in the future, which would be detrimental to the feudal government's procurement.

In addition, since there is only one such company, Zhao Tai is also worried that it will be difficult to obtain the latest and best seagoing ships.

Therefore, he also wants to introduce several companies to let them compete with each other. At the same time, when he has money, he will also invest in government-run shipbuilding workshops.

In Zhao Tai's plan, Haizhou's next step is to develop the shipbuilding industry and at the same time develop maritime trade to sell various products produced by the whaling industry overseas.

Before coming to Haizhou, Zhao Tai had already recruited Hu Zhen from Chuzhou and asked him to attract investment.

In order to increase Hu Zhen's success rate, and also to let the businessmen of the Southern Song Dynasty feel his sincerity, Zhao Tai asked Haizhou to send officials to explain Zhao Tai's policies in person and make guarantees.

When those businessmen see the guarantee from the local officials, they may send people over to inspect. Then Zhao Tai will have the opportunity to let them invest in him.

After Zhou Rong heard this, he did not hesitate and immediately saluted, "I obey the king's arrangements."

Zhao Tai nodded, and then he had a night talk with Zhou Rong Bingzhu, explaining in detail his plan and how to attract investment.

After talking with Zhou Rong all night, Zhao Tai set off the next day and returned to Pizhou.

Zhao Tai traveled around Haizhou and other places and had a general understanding of his territory.

Although agriculture is recovering in various places, it cannot collect much tax. The only way to increase tax revenue is through business.

Pizhou, the residence of Jiedushi.

Zhao Tai came back on horseback. As soon as he arrived in front of the mansion, he met the military advisor Wang Wentong.

"When the king comes back, why don't you notify him in advance so that I can lead everyone to greet him?" Wang Wentong said.

Zhao Tai got off his horse and waved his hand, "The finances are tight right now, so there is no need to engage in such nonsense. What's the important thing if I'm not here these days?"

Wang Wentong said in a deep voice: "There are really two things, one good and one bad. Which one will your Majesty listen to first?"

Zhao Tai glanced at him, and while walking inside, he said, "Go in and talk!"

Back at the mansion, Zhao Tai drank a large bowl of crude tea to quench his thirst, then sat down and said, "Listen to the bad first!"

Wang Wentong said: "As expected by your Majesty, the Southern Song Dynasty did not send anyone to deliver the aid that was supposed to be given to us this month."

Zhao Tai frowned, "Have you sent someone to inquire?"

Wang Wentong said: "I asked about it. The Southern Song Dynasty said that the Jin Kingdom has been destroyed, and all the money and food aid will be stopped."

Zhao Tai exhaled a heavy breath, and the Song Dynasty stopped assisting him, as he expected.

In the three-pronged Northern Expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty, only Lianghuai controlled by the Warring Faction, Shi Songzhi from Jinghu, and Zhao Yanna from Sichuan were dispatched. The resources that the Warfare Faction could mobilize were probably very limited.

Now that the Huai army was frustrated in Luoyang and had to defend Kaifeng, which was undefendable, a huge amount of money and food would have to be invested. Naturally, there would be no surplus food to support Zhao Tai.

In addition, the Southern Song Dynasty court supported the Jin State in order to use the Jin State to consume Mongolia, so that the Southern Song Dynasty could just sit back and reap the benefits.

profit.

Now that the Southern Song Dynasty was directly facing Mongolia, money and food were naturally used on themselves first.

Zhao Tai had judged earlier that after the Jin Dynasty was destroyed, Song Yuan might not be available, but he didn't want Song Yuan to be cut off so quickly.

Zhao Tai couldn't help but sigh: "This is really bad news. What about the good news?"

Wang Wentong said: "The good news is that Li Fen sent someone over to urge the king to go and consummate the marriage as soon as possible."

Before Zhao Tai went on the expedition, Zhao Tai decided to marry Li Fen to consolidate the relationship between the two parties.

Zhao Tai had no parents or elders, so during the expedition, he entrusted Wang Wentong to go through the process of proposing a marriage and choosing a wedding day.

Zhao Tai smiled bitterly, "This is not a good thing."

Wang Wentong said: "The king is getting married. Firstly, it can calm people's hearts. Secondly, it can strengthen the relationship with Li Fen. Thirdly, it can rely on the status of the princess to win over the old members of the Red Coat Army. Isn't it a good thing?"
