Building a highway on Xinjiang Road is a major project, and Zhao Zhen understood the hardships even more. Of course, this place is much lighter than the desertification in later generations. At this time, the effect of building a highway and vegetation isolation zone will naturally be better.

But the project is quite large, and it is extremely difficult for Liu Yong to mobilize the enthusiasm of the local people. Zhao Zhen looked at his son's slightly puzzled gaze and sat in a carriage that had already left the sand pit and slowly said: "Do you know what is the most difficult thing in this world?"

Zhao Ren didn't know what his father meant, but he still thought for a while and said, "I don't know, maybe he mustered up the courage on the battlefield?"

Zhao Zhen smiled and shook his head: "The courage on the battlefield is sometimes not plucked up, but is forced out. If you don't have the courage between life and death, then everything will be gone. You have never been to the battlefield, you don't know the momentum of the war drums and thunders, and you don't know what the passionate blood is, but you will know one day."

Zhao Ren thought about it again and said, "Is it a decision in a critical moment?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head again and said, "The decision in critical moments is determined by human talent. Some people can make correct judgments by calmness, while some people are panicked, so their judgments are naturally inaccurate."

Zhao Ren gave up helplessly: "The boy doesn't know."

Zhao Zhen pointed to the road that was constantly extending under the carriage: "It is persistence, persistence, and it is only a matter of inch of progress every day that can still persist, because there are so many things. As long as you persist, you will be able to finish one day. As long as you don't let go, success is only a matter of time.

Liu Yong was such a person. I demoted him from the court because of his lyrics and experienced in various prefectures in the Song Dynasty. So he took root every time he went to a prefecture.

If you do something that others cannot do or rarely do, you will become prosperous because of it, and you will become happy because of it.

I think he is a person who can do facts. Because of my anger at that time, I have never let him return to the court, even once.

Now he has done something that no local officials can do on Xinjiang Road, but now I know that I was wrong at the beginning and I regret it, but I will not let him leave Xinjiang Road again!"

Zhao Zhen's words made Zhao Ren even more confused. He didn't know why Liu Yong was so outstanding but his father still wanted to leave him on Xinjiang Road. Such talents should be promoted to the court.

But Zhao Zhen told Zhao Ren: "Talents must be placed in the right place to play their greatest role. Just like Liu Yong, he is a person of temperament and a persistent person. If he is placed in the court, although he can be used for great use, it will not last long. Do you know why this is?"

Zhao Ren shook his head slightly. This was beyond what he should know as a prince. This was Zhao Zhen teaching him the way of emperors. The three talents next to him had changed their faces.

But Zhao Zhen did not mean to stop. On the contrary, he already thought in his heart that Zhao Ren's child would also become a monarch in the West. Since that is the case, he should cultivate this child as a monarch. In fact, Zhao Zhen did the same.

Zhao Zhen no longer considered the problem based on the Song Dynasty, but turned the whole world into a "sand table". Why couldn't the prince of the Song Dynasty break the barriers and ceiling?

Zhao Zhen did not think it was impossible. The Han Dynasty's feudal system for princes collapsed because the princes began to interfere with the rule of the empire and the battle for the throne occurred.

What Zhao Zhen does now is to spread all the princes and let them show themselves in a larger world. Do you have the ability? Then go to another place to build your own country!

Don’t envy the prince. What he has got is the country that his predecessors have built. If you have talent and strategy, and your own ambitions, then go to the outside land to build a country yourself!

The Song Dynasty will give you help. After gaining the kingdom with this kind of help, you can no longer come back to attack the Song Dynasty in terms of etiquette and law, because the master was named Wuming.

Zhao Zhen looked at Zhao Xu's entangled expression that had been thinking for a long time and said, "Actually, it's very simple. It's easy to break. Some people have noble character, but such people are not suitable for going to the court. Such people can be arranged to monitor officials and illegal in the Supervisory Court, but they are not suitable for being court officials in the court. Because there are not only black and white in the court, but also gray in the middle, Liu Yong is not suitable for staying in the court. Although he is capable, he is not a person who is good at compromise. On the contrary, he can do very well in the local area."

Zhao Ren understood a little and slowly spoke: "Father means there are no unsuitable ministers, but they are not put in the right place?"

It is indeed his own son, and his understanding ability is quite good. Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Actually, as a ruler, what you need to do is to make full use of people and things. Only in this way can you save your energy and bring prosperity to your own land.

That's all my father has done over the years. I am not as strong as Di Qing and Wang Yun, I am not as strong as Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and Fubi and others in handling the government. As for financial management, I am not as stingy as Bao Zheng, and I am not as good as Cai Boqi. However, the Song Dynasty under my rule is the most powerful and prosperous dynasties in history. The reason I have used the right person!"

After passing through Zetian Temple, the carriage stepped onto the cement road again. These lime cements were originally from Guanzhong, which can also be regarded as driving the industrial development of Guanzhong...

After getting on the road, the convoy's speed began to accelerate. In just half a day, I could see Gaochang, the city of Xizhou Prefecture, in the distance.

Gaochang was once the capital of Gaochang State, of course it was called the Western Regions, but it is still the blood of the Han people. In the Turpan Basin, four Han-ruled kingdoms appeared one after another. These independent kingdoms were the Kan family Gaochang, the Zhang family Gaochang, the Ma family Gaochang and the Qu family Gaochang.

Their rulers were pure Han people, and most of the ruling classes were Han people. However, even so, the Tang Dynasty, which was prosperous in the 14th year of Zhenguan, strengthened its control over the Western Regions. Gaochang Kingdom was successively destroyed by the Tang Dynasty, and Gaochang County was established, and later established the Anxi Protectorate.

At present, Gaochang is no longer a county seat, but a prefecture. It belongs to the prefecture of Xizhou. It is an extremely prosperous existence. The Song Dynasty invested a lot of manpower and material resources in Gaochang City, and Liu Yong also worked hard here for many years.

The scale of the city is not only a big problem, but also has extremely complete functions. For this reason, Liu Yong also pioneered the construction of an exclusive inner city in Gaochang City. The inner city is full of places where merchants gather. Tax collectors are set up at the city gate to collect taxes differently by merchants and provide different degrees of discounts. The outer city is residential areas and service areas, with residents limited to neighbors, while merchants conduct service industries in specific places designated by the government.
