Zhao Zhen may be the longest-time emperor in the history of the Song Dynasty. Although Taizu and Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, Zhao Zhen began his career of expanding territory at the age of 20, destroying Dali, capturing Yanyun, conquering Dangxiang, and surrendering Jurchens. Almost everyone participated in everything.

But all this is due to my father, Emperor Zhenzong Zhao Heng.

It was he who left Zhao Zhen a solid material foundation. Now Zhao Zhen is laying the foundation for the future of the Song Dynasty. The stable surrounding environment and vast territory are all prerequisites for the future development of the Song Dynasty.

This era is changing, and all the necessary conditions before the Industrial Revolution appeared in the Song Dynasty. Zhao Zhen believed that capitalism would appear in the history of the Song Dynasty, and it was monarchical capitalism.

The so-called capitalism is a highly developed commodity economy. The Song Dynasty has achieved this now. The main economic activities have gradually moved from agriculture to handicrafts and manufacturing, and artificial goods have become the main items in the Song Dynasty economy.

However, capitalism has not yet officially arrived. The limitations of the ideas and policies of the farming economy and the technical conditions made the Song Dynasty still appear in a transitional period, but this period of exaggeration was extremely important.

Zhao Zhen carefully protected the hard-won results. The most important point was to ensure the security of the Song Dynasty and ensure that this dynasty would not be like the dynasties in Chinese history, and that the signs of capitalism were just exposed and destroyed in history.

The grasslands are the most serious disasters in Chinese civilization. There are internal troubles in the Song Dynasty now, but there is basically no threat. In history, the Song Dynasty has not been troubled by internal troubles, but has been suffocated by external troubles.

After Zhao Zhen's reform and the shift of the economic center of gravity, the biggest disaster that caused internal troubles has been resolved. The rich no longer focus on the pitiful land, but focus on the factories and capital.

This leaves the people with the last peace, and land becomes their reserve. Young and strong people can work in factories, earn money, and even make a fortune. Conservative or slightly older people can also support themselves through land.

Thanks to Zhao Zhen's "foresight" that strictly required the factories in the Song Dynasty and ensured the basic rights of workers, these are the best ways to eliminate internal worries. The biggest advantage of the Han people is to be honest and honest. As long as they are given hope, they can eat and drink.

External troubles were the biggest enemy of the Song Dynasty, so Zhao Zhen tried every means to pacify the grassland. This was not for the Song Dynasty but for the entire China. Internal conflicts were actually relatively easy to resolve, while external conflicts were the real threat.

At this time, Zhao Zhen did not mind using any means, even if he took advantage of the evil in people's hearts, he would do whatever he wanted.

But at the same time, he also knew that now is not the time to leave the grassland, and this is the case with the Han Dynasty. As long as the emperor is in, it will become the center of the country wherever he is.

During this period, major businesses have been opening businesses in Hulunbuir City, and even continuously expanding their business, turning this place into a general account on the grassland. All travelers can get all kinds of goods from Hulunbuir City and then drive carriages to sell them everywhere on the grassland. This is the benefit that Zhao Zhen brings here.

Similarly, with the development of the economy, cultural life will inevitably improve. Various restaurants, tea shops, and so on provide accommodation and entertainment for those who come here, and of course, brothels and singing and dancing workshops are indispensable.

Of course, there is no need to mention the military bonus. The ministers in the court, whether civil or military, tried their best to increase their troops to Hulunbuir City where Zhao Zhen was. Di Qing's 400,000 imperial guards were outside the Western Regions, and 200,000 were left in the Shendu garrison, and the remaining 200,000 were all sent to Hulunbuir City.

Infrastructure is also underway, and the strong laborers on the grassland are being recruited in large quantities. The purpose is to speed up the paving of cement roads. Only in this way can the troops of the Song Dynasty arrive at the fastest speed.

In the eyes of court officials, it is more important to have nothing to do with Zhao Zhen’s safety.

So Zhao Zhen didn't plan to leave now. Besides, there was still a Khitan on the grassland to be cleaned up. He had cut off the Khitan's wings and all retreats. The Khitan now is a trapped beast that fell into a trap.

After reaching middle age, Zhao Zhen increasingly hopes to live freely. Although he still has to bear the responsibilities, he does not want to be locked in a cage. His heart that yearns for freedom always drives him to leave.

A wealthy man can only be brought in one city. This is too frustrating, so Zhao Zhen himself doesn't want to go back to the palace.

In the end, Zhao Zhen still did not answer Bao Zheng's question. Once he had spoken and decided on his day, the next thing would not be under his control. As an emperor, he would do his best. He should do it when he said it. Otherwise, how would the court officials view himself and how the people of the world view themselves.

How happy it is to ride a horse on the endless grassland? During this period, Zhao Zhen obviously felt that he had become a little darker. This is normal. After all, it is normal to be exposed to the wind and sun outside.

However, Zhao Zhen did not have any altitude sickness in Hulunbuir. Obviously, the people here have not reached a sufficient height, and there are not even soldiers from the Song Dynasty. However, Di Qing's troops near the Altai Mountains will experience altitude sickness because the altitude there is already very high.

Entering the woods, hunting officially began. Wang Yun on the side drew an arrow and shot it casually. A crisp and sharp whistle sounded, and the originally quiet forest immediately boiled.

Countless small animals rushed out alertly, and at this time the second whistle shot out, and a deer stopped slowly from its running state, and a large number of them were around.

During the hunting process, the ancients invented the hunting horns. The crisp whistle sound during the flight has the function of stopping prey, which is convenient for hunting, and this will also be used in war.

Zhao Zhen seized the opportunity, blew the bow and arrow, and with a whoosh, the prey fell to the ground. Zhao Zhen shot the arrow very accurately and hit the deer's head. Although this was the hardest part of the deer's head, it could not withstand the power of the bow and arrow.

Sancai quickly rode over and pulled out Zhao Zhen's golden arrow and raised it high: "Your Majesty's arrow skills are superb, and he won the hunter!"

This is a white-lipped deer, which is very common on the grassland, but the soldiers around them still shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is mighty!"

Bao Zheng seemed to understand a truth from the shouts of the soldiers and Zhao Zhen's smile. The officials still had the fun of a young man in their hearts. It was indeed much more interesting on this grassland than in the capital of Shendu. Even there was a hunting ground next to the capital of Shendu...
