In the Song Dynasty, there was no law or order.

"Wuhu, my wife!"

At 3:30 pm, almost 8 o'clock in the evening, Zhao Jun finally sent away all the guests and dragged his tired body back to the room.

In addition to a few maids and servants, there were only guards standing outside the courtyard in the mansion, but there were also a few maids accompanying Cao Miaoxin in the room.

Zhao Jun drove everyone out. Originally, there was a custom of making trouble in the bridal chamber in the Song Dynasty, and the bad habits and conventions began in this era.

But Zhao Jun's face was stern, standing outside the door, who dared to come and die?

Zhao Zhen didn't dare to come.

So many of the Cao family's nephews and younger generations who still wanted to join in the fun and ask for red envelopes all slipped away obediently, not daring to fart.

Now that everyone was out, Zhao Jun walked to the bed, stopped Cao Miaoxin and smiled: "Wife?"

"Yeah"

Cao Miaoxin responded shyly.

Since the Song Dynasty, wife has become a folk name for wife.

"Menglianglu·Night Market" records: "When the fortune comes, buy a farm and marry a wife."

But it was the first time she heard this name.

After all, it was a folk name, like the rich families called "Xiaojun" or "Madam".

"It must be tiring to sit all day."

Zhao Jun asked.

Cao Miaoxin smelled the wine: "My husband has worked hard too."

After the first blind date, Zhao Jun also asked Cao Miaoxin out a few times in the past few months.

For example, go to the suburbs for an outing, or go to Fanlou for a meal, go shopping, but they are much more familiar and not so strange.

"It's okay, it's just that those people always force me to drink, and your brother-in-law is the worst."

"Official?"

"What else."

"Uh"

"It's late at night, it's time to go to bed."

Zhao Jun embraced Cao Miaoxin, took advantage of the alcohol, blew out the candle first, and then threw himself on the bed.

"Husband."

"What?"

"Why do you have a stick on you?"

"It's not a stick, it's a big treasure."

"Big treasure?"

Cao Miaoxin felt her husband push her down, and asked in confusion: "What big treasure grows on the belly?"

"I think you don't understand at all."

"What do you understand?"

"Here it is, let you have a look."

Zhao Jun took out the big treasure from his arms and said happily: "This is the jade ruyi sent by the government, hide it quickly."

Cao Miaoxin took the jade ruyi and rolled her eyes: "That's it?"

"What else, it's a good thing."

Zhao Jun turned over and got into the bed, too lazy to even take off his clothes, just thinking of falling asleep.

He was actually a little bit overwhelmed, he drank too much wine.

Seeing him like a dead ghost, Cao Miaoxin's straightforward character of the Cao family came up, and pushed him and said: "Husband!~~~~"

The voice was soft, and the fingertips were rubbing Zhao Jun's cheek.

In ancient times, women not only had experienced women to teach before entering the bridal chamber, but also read erotic pictures.

She understood better than anyone.

"What are you doing?"

"Entering the bridal chamber."

"I'm so tired, how about tomorrow?"

"Is it okay, husband?"

"Zhao, a man can't say no."

Zhao Jun got angry, took off his clothes, and hugged her like a hungry tiger.

He was really drunk.

He was thinking about taking a nap and doing it tomorrow morning.

But his wife was more impatient than him.

There was no other way.

He could only take up his gun and fight a bloody battle!

In an instant, the house was full of the fragrance of flowers, and even the temperature rose by several degrees.

．

．

The next day, in the early morning, Zhao Jun got up with a pair of panda eyes.

His wife is quite something.

Even though he had practiced hard for many years by watching movies and had practiced his ancestral skills to the pinnacle, he almost fell under the long legs of the Cao family woman.

Fortunately, he was more skilled. Although his wife was powerful, it was her first time after all, and she was not skilled. She only had physical strength and endurance, but no superb skills.

On the other hand, although Zhao Jun did not have much experience, he had rich theoretical experience. Under the guidance of many teachers, he had already become extraordinary.

The two fought for three hundred rounds with swords, spears, clubs, axes, hooks and forks, thunder and fire, and more than an hour later, Cao Miaoxin was finally defeated and killed by Zhao Jun.

Under normal circumstances, today is to visit the parents-in-law, and the wedding ceremony is completely over.

The poem says it well, "The red candles were turned off in the bridal chamber last night, and I waited until dawn to visit my uncle and aunt in front of the hall. After putting on makeup, I asked my husband in a low voice, "How deep is the eyebrow painting?"

But Zhao Jun's parents were alive before he traveled through time, and the family tree was complete. After traveling through time, he became an orphan, and it is estimated that he would have to go back 30 or 40 generations in the family tree to barely find a relative.

So naturally there is no such link.

When he got up, his wife had already gotten up. In ancient times, women were virtuous, went to bed early, got up early, and worked early.

As soon as Zhao Jun left, Cao Miaoxin came over with Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup. Seeing him dressed, she wondered, "Husband, where are you going?"

"To the court."

"Didn't the emperor say that you would be given a day off?"

"Oh, I almost forgot."

Zhao Jun slapped his forehead and thought about it.

Now the Political System Institute has actually been on the right track.

The national development of the Song Dynasty is also progressing steadily according to his plan.

That is, if you want to formally start internal reforms, you must first eliminate the factors of external invasion.

Now that it has been eliminated, internal reforms have also begun.

Administration and foreign trade are carried out simultaneously.

The Jingyou Reform, plus the Qingli New Deal, are all aimed at the officialdom.

Once the order in the officialdom is good, then the economy and agriculture can be reformed drastically.

At this time, Japanese silver was flowing in, and the other four foreign trade routes continued to bring wealth to the Song Dynasty. A large number of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes could be further eliminated, reducing the burden on farmers.

With money and food, the domestic land conflict has also been improved. The next step is to build the Yellow River, dig canals, promote education, develop the textile industry, coal industry, and steel industry, paving the way for the first industrial revolution.

Finally, it is to reform the military step by step.

After all, foreign troubles were only temporarily eliminated, and no one knew when Xixia and Liao would come, so military reform could only be put at the end.

The first step has already been taken.

As the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning. The most fearful thing about planning is not having the right direction.

Now that the direction has been adjusted, the most difficult thing in the early stage was to defeat the Xixia and Liao Kingdoms, complete the official restructuring, do a good job in the economy, and adjust foreign trade. Bridges and roads have been built. The next step is to implement and test the truth through practice.

However, Zhao Jun, the person who planned the direction, was of little use. The rest could be left to Lao Fan and others to execute. Anyway, he had taught them the methods, so he couldn't possibly do everything himself.

"This person feels bored when he has free time, but it's good. He's very tired from going to court so early every day, so it's good to take a little rest."

Zhao Jun thought about it, then took his wife's soup and said while drinking: "Honey, have you been to Jiangnan?"

"Never been."

Cao Miaoxin shook her head. She grew up in Bianliang and had never even been out of Kaifeng Mansion except for outings in the city.

Zhao Jun smiled and said: "I just have some free time, let's go on our honeymoon!"

"Where to go?"

"Go to Zhejiang and see the scenery there."

"good."

Cao Miaoxin said happily: "I will go wherever your husband goes."

"Then let's go!"

Zhao Jun did what he said.

I wrote a letter to Zhao Zhen immediately in the early morning, and then sent someone to the Imperial City Division to say hello and let the imperial guards prepare. They will set off at noon today.

Now the responsibilities of the Imperial City Department have also been raised. It is a dual subordinate agency that belongs to the emperor and the Constitutional Academy. It is equivalent to the FBI of the later emperors. The level has been expanded. Cao Xiu, the imperial city envoy, is now from the second level. On the same level as the general department.

As the company grew bigger and busier, Cao Xiu rarely appeared next to Zhao Jun.

As for Di Qing, it was even more remarkable. In the wars against Xixia and Liao, he had great military exploits and was promoted like a rocket.

From the battalion commander who just went to the northwest, he is now the fifth-level commander of the Japanese army and the commander of the four compartments of the Tianwu army. Five years ago, he was just a squad leader, and now he is a general.

Originally, he wanted to stay in Hebei. Zhang Kang had greater military exploits and was promoted from a local magistrate to a transport envoy on Hebei Road and was awarded the title of third-grade minister of the Ministry of War. Di Qing wanted to continue to follow Zhang Kang, but he couldn't bear it. Now it is true that the Liao and Song Dynasties have ceased war.

If there is going to be a war next, I am afraid it will take at least a few years for the Liao Kingdom to recover. Placing Di Qing on Hebei Road is obviously a waste of time. It is better to stay in Bianliang to train more soldiers, and to jointly study with the Firearms Department. , testing the power of new firearms.

So currently, the people following Zhao Jun are actually Jiang Dalang and Huang Sanlang, two capable men.

After things are arranged, set off immediately.

Even Zhao Zhen didn't expect Zhao Jun to make a decision so quickly. He got up early in the morning and said he wanted to take his wife on a honeymoon, but left at noon. He originally wanted to call the couple into the palace for lunch at noon.

As a result, in the blink of an eye, he received the news that his eldest grandson was going to Jiangnan for his honeymoon, which was unexpected.

However, it was really hard for Zhao Jun during this period. He was working on the national master plan to guide the general direction, and all the frameworks had to be structured. He was often too busy to touch the ground. It was good to let him relax, so he was not allowed to come back. There he went.

Zhao Jun set out at noon, and did not bring many people with him. Just like the last patrol, he hired three large ships at the dock, took two battalions of guards from the Imperial City Division and set off, heading south along the canal.

This time we were traveling for our honeymoon, so we didn’t stop at any place and went directly to the destination. It only took about thirty days to reach Hangzhou.

It is late summer in June, the scenery of Hangzhou city is pleasant, and the West Lake is even more beautiful.

It just so happened that there had been a light rain recently. Just after the light rain, the towering trees on the tree-lined path along the lakeside were lush and green, with a few drops of water occasionally falling between the branches. It landed on the bluestone and made a tiny splash.

There are rows of houses next to it, including teahouses, wine shops, foot shops, butcher shops, bookstores... The shop gates are hung with market banners to attract business, and pedestrians of all kinds are crowded with each other. There is a constant flow of people. Compared with the prosperity of the inner city of Bianjing, it is nothing. Not inferior.

Zhao Jun was boating on the lake with his wife at this time, enjoying the beautiful scenery. He came to Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas firstly for his honeymoon, and secondly to inspect the trade situation with Korea and Japan.

Because of the establishment of a state-owned enterprise, he was still very concerned about the rapid inflow of Japanese silver. Therefore, he encouraged businessmen in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions to go overseas to Japan. As long as they were willing to go overseas, they could often enjoy certain tax exemptions.

All of a sudden, followers gathered.

If businessmen go overseas, they will definitely hire a large number of people, which can also solve many employment problems.

And in the future, with the frequent trade between Japan's Iwami area and the Song Dynasty, there will definitely be corresponding development there. A large number of Japanese people will flow into Iwami, including mining and transportation workers, as well as taverns, brothels, and people from the Song Dynasty. A merchant who trades goods.

Although the Song Dynasty did not station troops on Tsushima Island, it allowed private merchants to carry a large number of books and private armed forces to Japan. In this way, the culture of the Song people could be quickly spread, deepening the influence of the Song Dynasty on Japan.

After arriving at the place, Zhao Jun first went shopping with his wife for a few days, and then went to the Hangzhou Maritime Customs to inspect and look at the trade data between the Song Dynasty and Japan this year.

The data is exaggerated.

In just half a year, it has tripled and is still rising.

In fact, the Song Dynasty did trade with Japan in the past, but the number of transactions was limited, mainly because the Song Dynasty bought copper, sulfur and other minerals in Japan.

As mentioned before, the Song Dynasty had a tricky operation, which was to use the Song Dynasty's copper coins to buy copper ore from abroad, then make copper coins, then go abroad to buy copper ore, and then bring it back to make copper coins...

And the biggest complaint about this exchange of copper ore for Song Dynasty copper coins was Japan.

As a result, due to the large influx of Song Dynasty copper coins, domestic prices in Japan skyrocketed, which made the Heike clan, who was in power in the Heian period at the time, very angry and repeatedly rejected the request for official trade from the Northern Song Dynasty.

Private trade was only allowed in Hakata-zu, Chikuzen Province, which is the port of Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, Japan in the future, which seriously hindered the development of trade between the Northern Song Dynasty and Japan.

This situation did not improve until the Southern Song Dynasty.

At the end of the Heike period and the Kamakura shogunate, they gradually began to establish diplomatic relations with the Southern Song Dynasty and implemented the national policy of revitalizing trade, thereby increasing the scale of trade. Since that period, trade between Song and Japan has become frequent.

Now the Song Dynasty is strong in military power. After defeating the Liao Dynasty, the garrison arrived in Tamra, which made Japan quite afraid and forced to start free trade.

It is just the beginning now.

When the Song-Japan route really prospers, it is normal to grow several dozen times.

Zhao Jun was still very happy to see this.

Although the growth rate was very fast because there was less trade with Japan in the past, it would be much lower when it stabilized in the future.

But in that case, a large amount of silver would flow into Japan, and the shortage of money would be solved, which would further promote the prosperity of the commodity economy.

This is a great thing for the Song Dynasty.

After inspecting the Hangzhou Maritime Customs, Zhao Jun wanted to go to the Mingzhou Maritime Customs. However, the weather was good today. Although it rained a little, the West Lake was more beautiful after the rain, so he went out for a boat ride with his wife.

The bridge over the half-smoky and half-rainy creek was shaded by trees, with green willows and red peaches on both sides, ancient temples deep, pink walls and black tiles, and curling smoke. The scenery was extremely beautiful.

Zhao Jun and his wife ate boiled West Lake fish on the boat, and when it was almost done, they planned to go back.

Soon the pleasure boat docked.

At this time, a middle-aged man came up quickly.

But before he got close, he was stopped by the guards. He hurriedly shouted: "Zhiyuan, I, Liu Yong, the salt supervisor of Dinghai, present a poem to Zhiyuan."

Is this the drama of Xia Song stopping the horse and presenting a poem?

Zhao Jun looked over and saw that the man was about fifty years old, wearing the official uniform of a seventh-rank official. He smiled, said something to Jiang Dalang, and then got on the carriage and left.

Seeing this, Liu Yong could not help but feel disappointed, thinking that such a big man as the prefect would not take him seriously.

So he could only laugh at himself and turn away.

But just as he walked past the corner, someone chased him and told him to go to the inn where the prefect lived that night.

Upon hearing this news, Liu Yong was overjoyed and hurried back to check the poem he was going to present again to see if there was anything that needed to be changed. He waited until the evening before visiting.
