Chapter two thousand two hundred and ninety-five the worry of the emperor
The only thing Zhao Zhen has made the most progress over the years is his character. In this regard, he has almost reached a very calm level, because he has been in the throne for a long time, because he has done something like "unprecedented and has never come after him", and because of his former identity, he has taken many things lightly.
Of course, power is the most beautiful thing in the world, and money is also something that makes people sacrifice their lives for pursuit, but as an emperor, he does not lack both of these things.
Zhao Zhen mastered the most powerful armed force on this planet. In the face of the violent machines of the Song Dynasty, any kind of resistance would be futile. This is the peak of power, an unrivalled force.
With the help of power, wealth will accumulate faster than snowballing. When these two things reach a certain level, they will lose their meaning. Where did the most profitable transactions in the entire Song Dynasty come from?
Of course, it was Cai Jihe and the official business. These two industries could even crush the most powerful interest groups in the Song Dynasty. The amount of money was meaningless to Zhao Zhen.
As for power... this thing has long been put aside by Zhao Zhen, otherwise Zhao Xu would not have been allowed to preside over the major affairs of the country and retreated behind the scenes. Although doing so has ulterior motives, it is indeed decentralizing part of the political rights.
How many kings have ever been able to do this? In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts with Zhao Xu, Zhao Zhen even divided the political affairs they had handled in detail.
This is also to facilitate the court officials to make the most correct judgment. There is no two days and no two masters. This is something that must be adhered to.
Zhao Zhen’s mentality now will not be too turbulent. The only thing he cares about is to pass on the current powerful inheritance of the Song Dynasty, which has even become a kind of obsession for Zhao Zhen.
Thinking about it, the Song Dynasty was made into this form by him. The Jurchens had already joined the Song Dynasty and became an "adventure expedition team" that spanned Asia and the American continent with their lives.
The threat of the Jurchens to Han civilization was almost wiped out by Zhao Zhen. The East Sea Protectorate and the East Sea Protectorate were only one word different, but they were different.
Zhao Zhen looked at the contents of the memorial in the carriage and felt incredible. After the Song Dynasty ensured the safety of the Jurchens' "rear" and these Jurchens actually risked their lives to continue to fight on the American continent.
This madness and persistence made Zhao Zhen begin to doubt that the Jurchens were not planning to establish a country in the Americas, right?
Of course, this kind of worry is completely redundant. At the end of the memorial, the Three Protectors of the East China Sea Protectorate's House specifically stated at the end of the memorial, "The Jurchens are the most affectionate and nature! The husband and Borneo are far apart, but they are flocking to it. As the saying goes: Great freedom! Great destination! The Han people are not understanding, but they already have the potential to die in their hearts!"
After seeing these words, Zhao Zhen was speechless. He did not expect that the Jurchens' yearning for freedom and adventure was so passionate, even to the point where he "did not die rather than freedom."
They love their own, pursue adventure, and even give up their lives.
Zhao Zhen actually admired these Jurchens very much. They were not used to the stable life of the Song Dynasty. They were seeking adventure and excitement. Perhaps they were also realizing their own life value.
Every time they came back from the distant America, these Jurchen expeditions were the most popular people in the Song Dynasty. The court not only had to give them a lot of subsidies and rewards, but even bought anything they brought back from the Americas at a high price at the first time.
Zhao Zhen knew that the American continent was a treasure house, so he searched for those special things at all costs. Of course, Zhao Zhen would give a fair price to allow these Jurchens who had been alive and died to get the reward they deserved.
After gently closing the memorial, Zhao Zhen was completely relieved that the East China Sea Protectorate under the control of Rat Three had not only managed the Jurchens well, but also began to think of treating the Jurchens and the Han people indiscriminately.
Such management methods will only make the Jurchens feel that they were the same as the Han people in the Song Dynasty, and even lived better than the Han people.
The Song Dynasty did not force all of them to move inward, and the Han people who migrated to the Jurchen land were unwilling to go to the far north. They would only use the black land as treasures on the Jurchen land to cultivate.
These lands are bound to the Jurchens, but for the Han people, they are treasures that cannot be given up and are their future foundation!
There will be no hatred without conflicts of interest. On the contrary, a new relationship emerged between the Jurchens and the Han people. The Han people met the Jurchens' living needs, and the Jurchens brought back from a distant place for wealth and then used them to buy goods from the Han people......
This is the East China Sea Protectorate under the control of Shi San. Zhao Zhen knew that there must be Tang Kuoduo's true contributions. Which girl is not simple? If Shi San did not have her help, she would not be able to do such a clever thing.
The thing Zhao Zhen is most concerned about at the moment is not the wealthy families in the East City, nor the major affairs of the country, nor the Tubo plateau to the west. Even though Jiaosiluo had already "founded the country and founded the Yuan Dynasty", Zhao Zhen still did not threaten him and the Tubo people.
Because in Zhao Zhen's eyes, whether it was with the Dangxiang people, the Khitans, the Jurchens, and even the Japanese people, the internal conflicts of the Song Dynasty.
Of course, this includes the Tubo on the plateau. In Zhao Zhen’s impression, the word Tubo is a bit unfamiliar, but the word Plateau is very familiar. In Zhao Zhen’s eyes, the Tubo people on the plateau are “Tibetan” and Tubo is “Tibet”.
There is only a historical difference between the two, but there is no other essential difference. The land there should belong to China and the Song Dynasty.
Even if everyone in the world says that Tubo is not a part of China and that Tubo was once a powerful dynasty, I’m sorry, in Zhao Zhen’s eyes, the war between the Song Dynasty and Tubo was to deal with "household affairs". The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was always an inseparable part of China and was always a territory of China.
What is the most important thing for Zhao Zhen? What is he most worried about?
Not only is the completeness of the Song Dynasty, but also how to integrate so many races. This is his always plan. Only after the integration can we avoid differences to the greatest extent, avoid the fermentation of problems and the expansion of contradictions.
The simplest point is the integration between the Song Dynasty and the grassland peoples, and the integration between the Dangxiang people and the Khitans. The speed of this integration is almost increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
What is the biggest contradiction between nomadic peoples and farming peoples? Zhao Zhen only now understands! The two sides have been attacking each other for thousands of years, not living habits or regional differences, but the most insignificant and deadly thing... food!
Food is the foundation of everything, and materials are complementary. When the Song Dynasty transported trucks of grain and trucks of goods to cities on the grassland, as long as the price was reasonable, almost all people on the grassland would buy it with money instead of relying on force to seize it!
