Xia Song, Du Yan and Zheng Jian were all confused.

"Because from both an economic and military perspective, the actual benefits of competing for the ocean are far greater than those from competing for land."

"That day will come. Even if we can't dominate the entire world, we can at least dominate the East and restore the splendor of the Han and Tang dynasties."

Just as everyone was dealing with state affairs, an official came in from outside and reported to them: "Today's Youyan official document has arrived."

They had barely finished their words when a eunuch came hurriedly over and said, "Master, Duke Shen is nearing death. The Emperor has asked you to go and visit him."

In addition, Hengyin is located southeast of Xijin. Continuing eastward are Xianghe County and Yutian County, and then entering Pingzhou. The Song army can then go to Yuguan and meet up with Di Qing, completely cutting off the Liao people's east-west connection.

Even Li Di, Zhang Shixun, Jiang Tang and Jia Changchao were confused.

Zhao Jun smiled and said.

Only the natives of other countries could see these new industrial gadgets and at the same time follow the instructions of the Song Dynasty merchants, go to their mines to mine, and help the Song people transport them onto cargo ships and bring them back.

When Zhao Jun talked about theories such as sea power and land power, he was also proposing the Eastern One Pole strategy for the first time.

The official replied.

Use force and policies to force the landlords to hand over the land, but the way they do it cannot be too ugly. It is not the end of the dynasty and they can do whatever they want.

"In the future, the industrial development of the Song Dynasty will inevitably enter a period of stagnation after the growth rate. Because the domestic population is only 100 million for the time being, the production capacity that can be absorbed is limited, and it will inevitably have to be exported abroad."

Zhao Jun frowned and began to look through the contents of the document.

Sometimes he even felt that if he abandoned morality, he could decide the life or death of anyone.

I believe that under this combination of kindness and force, the international situation in the world will soon undergo fundamental changes.

"Why?"

In the past, he quite enjoyed the power of being second only to the emperor.

After a series of combined blows, the landlords now have no policy support, no population, and are always in a loss-making state just by having land. In the end, they naturally have to obey the arrangements of the court.

Zhao Jun sighed.

certainly.

"yes."

"oh."

When he walks outside, which corrupt official wouldn’t tremble with fear and almost pee when he sees him?

This is an indirect way of nationalizing a large amount of land, and then transferring this land to landless refugees to alleviate land pressure.

Youyan now has to write and send battle reports every day, but due to the lack of timeliness, they are often several days old.

Because only with a developed shipbuilding industry could the Song Dynasty's industrial products be transported across the ocean and its own production capacity be sold to other countries.

Secondly, when exporting industrial products, they can completely semi-control the export destination through industrial products, such as exchanging industrial products for raw materials such as minerals, gold, silver, timber, and spices.

Everyone looked up.

Zhao Jun sighed and said, "It seems that fate has not fulfilled our wishes. Lord Lu Xu will not be able to survive this winter. Let's wait and see when Yan Yun returns."

Fate is always so unpredictable.
