"Yes, although we did business with various countries in the past, the scale of our business varied greatly, and without official promotion, our influence only extended to East Asia at best. Beyond that, it wouldn't work."
Although Yan Shu was old, he was not confused. He quickly understood the reason and said with a smile, "Since this year, governments around the world have been vigorously promoting trade with us. It is equivalent to us taking over the entire global market. The growth rate is indeed going to increase rapidly."
Even though the global population is small and the market size is small, there is only one exporting country and, secondly, the small population has abundant natural resources.
This means that on a global scale, the Song Dynasty, an industrial exporting country, is faced with countless resource-oriented exports around the world. It is not that there are too many wolves and too little meat, but that there is only one wolf and sheep everywhere. It would be strange if it didn't get too full.

Although it may cause a slight delay in the news, it doesn’t matter if it is a minor matter. As long as he is made aware of the important news as soon as possible, it will be fine.
The only information that can be handed over to the Ministry of War is military intelligence.
Because the functions of the Ministry of War are now gradually tending towards the functions of the Ministry of National Defense in later generations, it often has to study relations with enemy countries and major national defense issues, so naturally it has to pay attention to military affairs first.
"Wanyan Wugunai has rebelled, has captured Changchun Prefecture, and is threatening Linhuang Prefecture."
Zhao Jun looked at the information in his hand, narrowed his eyes and said, "It's quite interesting."
