    It was a great joy for the Jin people to return the Sixteenth State of Youyun to the Song Dynasty. Although it was not really returned in the end, it already made the prince Zhao Kai extremely happy and couldn't wait to go to Youyun to open a tea house.

    For more than two hundred years since Shi Jingtang dedicated the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, the Central Plains regime has been resentful of it. Without this barrier to defend the north, the Central Plains regime suffered a lot from the Liao people. Even with the help of Chai Shizong and  The power of Song Taizu could not be recovered from the Liao Kingdom. Although this time it was bought from the Jin Kingdom with a large sum of money in the form of redemption, it already made the Song Dynasty very happy.

    Militarily and politically, Zhao Kai had no better way to intervene for the time being, but he immediately thought of opening a tea house, so he immediately asked Fang Jinshi to come over to discuss it.

    Zhao Kai believes that it is not important at all whether he can make money in these Sixteen States of Youyun. What is important is to do something to show to the people of Liao and Jin, that is, what he can do to prove that these Youyun Ten  The six states were indeed already part of the Song Dynasty.

    After hearing what Zhao Kai said, Fang Jinshi asked, "How can Third Brother prove to the people of Liao and Jin that these tea houses are run by the government and not by private traders?"

    Zhao Kai was stunned. He thought for a long time before saying: "Then you go over and make the scene big enough. When the people of Liao and Jin see such a big scene, they will know that it is not the work of ordinary businessmen."

    Fang Jinshi said: "I'm afraid the Jin and Liao people won't believe it, unless they say it's a government transaction." Zhao Kai immediately rejected it and said: "It can never be said to be a government transaction."

    Fang Jinshi said: "That will be difficult." Zhao Kai said: "You think of a way."

    Fang Jinshi thought for a moment and said, "Then stop the tea business and trade arms and supplies instead. Ordinary people won't do this kind of business. Needless to say, I know it's the government's fault."

    Zhao Kai shouted: "You don't want your life. It is a serious crime for ordinary people to do this business, let alone in the border area."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Thenit also depends on who does it, and it also depends on how the transaction is done and what the goods are."

    Zhao Kai was a little confused and asked puzzledly: "What do you want to buy or sell?"

    Fang Jinshi asked: "What does our army of the Song Dynasty lack most?" Zhao Kai thought for a long time and shook his head. He really didn't know what the Song Dynasty lacked when the country was rich and the people were strong.

    Fang Jinshi saw the confused look on his face, and then he woke up Zhao Kai and said: "The Song Dynasty army is not lacking in anything else, but the most lacking thing is war horses. If our Song Dynasty army also has many cavalry, its strength will be very different."

    Zhao Kai's eyes lit up and he said, "Do you want to buy and sell horses?" Fang Jinshi nodded and said, "Yes, from what I see, the money from the tea sales should be used to buy horses in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun and return to the Song Dynasty."

    Zhao Kai was silent for a moment, lowering his head and thinking about what Fang Jinshi said. Fang Jinshi added: "Although war horses are military supplies, they are not prohibited from being bought and sold by merchants. The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun have always raised horses, and they have direct access to the grasslands of the Liao Kingdom. There has always been no shortage of horses. At this time,  Buying a horse is a God-given opportunity, but once the opportunity passes, it will be too late to regret it.¡±

    Zhao Kai raised his head and said, "When is the time?"

    Fang Jinshi said seriously: "At this time, the war in the Sixteenth State of Youyun has just ended, and people are in a panic. There must be many generals in the Liao Kingdom who have paid money. Among these people, there must be some who are worried or dissatisfied. If they find this opportunity to lobby,  Maybe someone will switch to the Song Dynasty, or at least secretly buy war horses from these generals, and most of them will be willing."

    Zhao Kai disagreed and said: "That makes sense."

    Fang Jinshi added: "There is another person who is more likely to lobby them, and that is the Liao army that was scattered and hiding. It would be even worse if we put some effort into finding them before the Jin people and convincing them to surrender to the Song Dynasty.  ? Even if you can't come to surrender, it is still possible to spend money to buy their war horses."

    Zhao Kai said: "That's right, but the people of Jin will definitely be displeased by doing this."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Why do we have to please the Jin people? There will be a battle between Song and Jin in the future. If we don't make preparations first, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat the Jin people in the future."

    Zhao Kai angrily rebuked: "You are talking nonsense. How can the Song and Jin alliances have a war?"

    Fang Jinshi sighed inwardly and stopped talking after scolding him. Zhao Kai didn't like it and comforted him: "What you just said makes sense, but I need to find someone to discuss it with others."

    Fang Jinshi replied: "Yes!" He stood aside and lowered his head without speaking.

    Zhao Kai saw that he had stopped talking, and felt that he had spoken harshly because he had just scolded him. He was a very humble scholar, and although he had a noble status, he did not often scold others. Zhao Kai actually said to Fang Jinshi: "  I just spoke too harshly, so don¡¯t take it to heart.¡±

    Fang Jinshi said hurriedly: "What did Third Brother say? It was my inappropriate words." Zhao Kai said: "We are friends, so we won't say these things."

    ?He suddenly said such words, which made Fang Jinshi deeply moved. He was just a commoner. Zhao Kai would treat him as a friend. He had only played chess and drank wine with Zhao Kai a few times.  .

    Zhao Kai comforted him a few more words, and Fang Jinshi said goodbye. He left Prince Yun's Mansion and was walking home when a thought came up deep in his heart. This thought shocked him, that is,  Can you think of a way to change the original historical trend and seize the opportunity to support Zhao Kai to ascend the throne instead of Song Gaozong Zhao Gou!

    Zhao Kai is a humble man, has good conduct, and is very talented in literature. Although he has no great achievements, at least he is not as timid and weak as Zhao Gou, who fears gold as much as a tiger.

    It¡¯s just that Fang Jinshi just thought about it. In order to support Zhao Kai to ascend the throne, he must have extremely strong strength. With his current ability, it is undoubtedly a dream.

    He returned home with heavy thoughts. Liang Cuirong came over and asked, "What's wrong?"

    Fang Jinshi didn't want to tell her what he was thinking, so he just told her about his meeting with Wan Qixi. After hearing this, Liang Cuirong said, "I think this man has some abilities. You go to Zhang Shaozai's house tomorrow and see how he arranges it.  "

    Fang Jinshi agreed, and Liang Cuirong said again: "Today someone sent a wedding invitation and asked you to go and drink the wedding wine."

    Fang Jinshi was a little strange. He opened the wedding invitation and saw that it was Prince Kang Zhao Gou who was getting married. Five days later in Prince Kang's Mansion, he was finally going to get married to the second girl Xing Bingyi and Xing. Originally, Prince Kang Zhao Gou gave  Fang Jinshi said that when he gets married, he will definitely invite Fang Jinshi to his house for a wedding banquet.

    Fang Jinshi put down the wedding note and suddenly remembered something. He went to the back room, took out the box containing the pair of boots that Zhao Gou had given him, and opened it to show Liang Cuirong.

    Liang Cuirong asked in confusion: "What is this?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "This is given to me by Prince Kang."

    Liang Cuirong picked it up and looked at it carefully and said, "Prince Kang is too stingy. He even gave away these shoes."

    Fang Jinshi closed the box, handed it to Liang Cuirong solemnly and said, "You must keep these shoes for me. They may be of great use in the future."

    Although Liang Cuirong didn¡¯t quite believe it, she still took it and kept it carefully.
