What Zhao Zhen is best at is "giving a sweet date to give a stick". When will the sweet date be the best? It is not given directly, but after being beaten by the stick, the sweet date will look "very delicious".

Zhao Zhen’s construction of the city in the Queen’s Valley was undoubtedly a blow to the Jiamo people. Although some people think that this is nothing, since the Jiamo people want to surrender to the Song Dynasty, it is also necessary for the Song Dynasty to build a city here. Building a city not only puts pressure on the Jiamo people, but also gives the Jiamo people huge benefits.

The reason is very simple. Most of the tribesmen lived in caves and communicated less with outsiders, but in fact, the Jiamo people hoped to communicate with outsiders.

Once a city is built, it will only make their communication more frequent and gain more benefits. A city appears on the route of Dasong and Maer Dao trade, and fools know what this place will look like.

The Jiamo people wanted to become rich, and it was certainly true that the Song Dynasty satisfied their injustice. As for the matter of garrisoning, it was soon forgotten. Where did the Song Dynasty not station troops? There were garrisoning troops in the Song Dynasty's own prefecture, let alone the Sixteen Guards after they retired.

The small dispute ended soon because Zhao Zhen had already begun to ask Sancai to issue another decree, and the content of the decree was also very simple. He only told the Jiamo people that they had the right to study in any prefecture in the Song Dynasty and could also participate in the imperial examination for the study of the matter.

This is the hope of the Jiamo people. The imperial examination in the Song Dynasty was an extremely difficult thing to join. It was simple and convenient for the people of the Song Dynasty, but it was almost a difficult road for foreigners.

It’s not that it’s impossible to succeed, but that most people don’t even have the opportunity to participate.

The Song Dynasty was quite generous to foreign tribes, giving them the right to participate in the imperial examinations of the Song Dynasty, but at the same time restricting some people from special backgrounds to participate in this prosperous era.

Although this is a bad discrimination, Zhao Zhen minimized the harm to the Song Dynasty.

In fact, only those with great talent among the foreign tribes can reach the "throne" of fame like the students of the Song Dynasty. Once they pass the exam, they will immediately become the "koi" who jumped into the dragon gate.

The imperial examinations in the Song Dynasty became increasingly difficult and there was no way, because more and more people participated in the imperial examinations. The courts in the Song Dynasty needed more officials to manage the vast territory, but at the same time they were also worried about the increasing number of officials.

Because the officials of the Song Dynasty had begun to gradually change, they leaped from the original yamen employees to the real people with official positions in the Song Dynasty, but their official ranks and imperial examinations were different.

Think about it, even the official positions of officials are extremely precious, and even if you participate in the imperial examination, you may become the first nation on the plateau to truly integrate into the Song Dynasty. How could the Jiamo people not be excited?

These are spiritual things and have no material impact.

But soon the influence appeared, and a group of Jiamo people thought of starting from the words of the Song army soldiers to gain the benefits of the Song Dynasty trade.

As long as it is not the time of war, the Death Cavalry will always look lazy, but they meet the "passionate" Jiamo people.

Although I don’t know why, the soldiers of the Death Cavalry still answered some questions from the Jiamo people, after all, “the mouth of eating people is short, and the hands of holding people are short.”

From a simple inquiry, the Jiamo people learned about the types of goods in the Song Dynasty and the items purchased by merchants in the Song Dynasty. The smart Jiamo people had already had the background before the Song Dynasty traded.

In this way, they learned how to trade with the Song people.

Things that seem simple reflect the wisdom of the Jiamo people. High-quality ore is produced here. This is a sure fact in the minds of the Jiamo people. The issue of how to do business with merchants in the Song Dynasty becomes simple.

The Jiamo people can not only sell ore to the Song Dynasty, but also make exquisite knives through their skillful hands. The value of these knives will increase instantly when they buy them.

In this way, the Jiamo people can make money, and the merchants of the Song people will also make money. The ore veins in the valley are quite rich. For the Jiamo people, this is their wealth, and the Song Dynasty cannot directly plunder iron ore.

The Jiamo people are guarding such important resources, which can be seen from their increased guardianship of iron ore.

But before Zhao Zhen was about to take his people away, he ordered Cai Boqi to recruit all the craftsmen in the Queen's Valley, from top to bottom, all the craftsmen needed by the Song Dynasty.

How could Zhao Zhen not know what Jiamo people think? Not to mention Zhao Zhen, even Cai Boyi knew that since that's the case, then he would get rid of the firewood from the bottom of the pot...

For the Song Dynasty, besides talents like Jiamo people, the most important thing in the Queen Valley is the high-quality iron ore produced here, which contains very few impurities!

After learning the news, Cai Boyi gave the iron ore here to the master craftsmen in the army to show him, and the results he got were dumbfounded.

The master slashed the ore with a sled hammer and two small hammers and said, "Mr. Prince Concubine has found a treasure! After a little smelting of iron ore of this texture can be used as the cannon body, and its strength and flexibility are quite strong!"

Cai Boyi's eyes immediately widened. He heard a word, smelting a little... The ore in the Song Dynasty is not not good, but to stick to the cannon body, it requires a complex smelting process, and even other things need to be mixed in it.

In this way, although iron is used instead of more expensive copper, the time and cost are still increased. At present, the iron ore in the Queen's Valley is so irresistible that it can be used as a cannon body with just a little smelting...

Cai Boqi did not dare to think about it anymore, and quickly reported the discovery to Zhao Zhen. Although Zhao Zhen had some knowledge of these ores before, he was still shocked after hearing Cai Boqi's report.

So the king and his ministers began to have an idea of ​​the ore in the Queen Valley. The best way was to let the merchants from the Song Dynasty buy it. Although the land here was already under the rule of the Song Dynasty, even as the court, it could not be robbed openly!

Not only can we not rob openly, we also need to use "legal" means to obtain these ores, but among legal means, commercial means are not always "open and upright"...

A large number of highly treated craftsmen among the Jiamo people mean that the craftsmen in the Queen's Valley will drop sharply. After the lack of craftsmen's processing, the essence of high-quality iron ore is still the same as ore...

After some discussion, Zhao Zhen and Cai Boqi burst into laughter, and Sancai's eyelids sag slightly. Although he didn't know what the officials and Cai Boqi were discussing, he knew that these Jiamo people were afraid of being unlucky.

So before leaving, Cai Boyi, as the shopkeeper of Cai Ji, announced that Cai Ji would acquire Queen Valley iron ore at a high price, which immediately aroused the favor of the Jiamo people.

But everyone who knows Cai Boyi knows that this guy will never suffer any losses. If you buy iron ore at a high price in the plateau? Is this a loss-making deal?
