Chapter 1513 It is also time to reward these righteous people who share the worries of the country

Chapter 1513

These words immediately made the veteran drivers lit up their eyes.

Wang Yang nodded deeply. "So, the key place is in this Jinzhou... If Jinzhou is broken, the North Liaodongjing Road occupied by our Song Dynasty will become a stormy and rootless land. If Jinzhou is solid, our Song Dynasty can arrange it calmly and control the entire territory of the North Liaodongjing Road."

"In this way, this is much simpler. First, we can ask Your Majesty to issue an order and dispatch another 30,000 imperial guards to set off for Dengzhou immediately and transport it to Liaodong by sea. Second, let the North Sea Navy closely monitor the western Liaoning Corridor, and also put on the stance that our Song Dynasty Navy will land in the hinterland of Bei Liao from the Liaohai Sea, forcing Bei Liao to not easily transfer the army northward; third, we can send a large amount of materials directly through the Xiaoling River to the outside of Najinchengzhou..."

"If the Beihai Navy wants to take on the responsibility of monitoring the western Liaoning Corridor and threatening the coast of the Liaoning Sea, then the important task of transporting materials by sea is afraid..." Su Dongpo couldn't help but frown.

"Don't worry, Su Xiang, Wang will ask His Majesty to ask His Majesty to allow Wanhong Trading Company to bear the responsibility of transporting supplies. Wanhong Trading Company's performance over the past few years will definitely not miss the major issues."

Early in the morning of the next morning, the hangover emperor Zhao Xu was awakened by the queen Meng. He heard that Wang Yang and six other important officials had gathered in the imperial study room and said that there was an urgent matter to ask for a meeting.

Emperor Zhao Xu was stunned for a while before he realized. "Didn't I say yesterday to congratulate me on the victory of the Song Dynasty, and I'll take a day off today?"

"I don't know this, but Eunuch Ma said that it was an important thing that Mr. Wushan and others were going to say, which was related to the East Road of Bei Liaohe..."

The emperor sat up suddenly. Since it was related to the Liaodong incident, the emperor couldn't help but feel a little angry. Under the servitude of the Empress Meng, he quickly rushed to the imperial study room.

"Dears, what big thing happened in the Liaodong area?" Seeing Wang Yang, Su Dongpo and others' expressions that looked very serious and solemn, the emperor Zhao Xu's careful heart couldn't help but jump non-stop.

Could it be that when I received the good news yesterday, Master Zhong was bragging? When I thought of this, the emperor's face suddenly became very ugly.

Wang Yang and others really didn't expect that the emperor's inner drama would be so rich. Su Dongpo came out from the crowd and said to the emperor after a bow.

"Your Majesty, although my Song Dynasty took advantage of the Northern Liao Yelu Yuji to obtain the land of Liao, the newly obtained land was not yet stable. Now the teacher's way of suppressing it with 20,000 tigers is actually too thin. Although Yelu Yuji surrendered to our Song Dynasty, his troops have tens of thousands of people. If you are not careful, you may have to repeat the matter..."

After hearing Su Dongpo's talk, Emperor Zhao Xu then took a breath of vigor and seemed to be relaxed. It turned out that he was worried about this, which made him so worried that he thought it was a waste of his dream.

However, the concerns of Su Dongpo and others are indeed the most important thing now. If some demon moth really comes out, it will really hit Da Song in the face.

"The words of your family are very true. Since the Liao land has been under the hands of our Song Dynasty, we must firmly guard it and must not be taken by Northern Liao anymore. Otherwise, I, you and you, will have no face to face the people of the world and the ancestors."

As soon as the emperor said this, the people were relieved. It could be seen that the emperor Zhao Xu attached great importance to the gains and losses of the Liao area. In this way, the next thing would be much simpler.

Su Dongpo told the emperor all the strategies he had discussed overnight several days and lasted several days. While listening, the emperor asked about various details, Wang Yang and others answered them one by one.

After hearing this, the emperor laughed with satisfaction. "I have received the help of all the people, so why worry about the world. I have all been sure of these things. By the way, the shopkeeper Wan Bin and Wan of Wanhong Trading Company have made great efforts to attack the Liao Dynasty over the years. Now I want to take his post to comfort Wan Bin, what do you think?"

Several ministers nodded deeply and looked at Wang Yang. The emperor was giving Wan Bin the official position, the big shopkeeper of Wan Hong Trading Company, in fact, it was for Wang Yang's sake.

After all, Wang Yang can be regarded as the boss behind the Wanhong Trading Company. Whether it is transporting materials, troops, or contacting the Song Dynasty, Wanhong Trading Company has made great efforts. Even the Song Dynasty's intelligence agency, the Imperial City Department, almost regarded the Wanhong Trading Company, which was spread all over the world, as their hidden stronghold.

There were even many spies who sneaked into a foreign country and started working in Wanhong Trading Company and familiar with the local customs and people.

Wang Yang thought for a while, strode out, and bowed respectfully to the emperor.

"Your Majesty is wise. If Wan Bin knows Your Majesty's intentions, he will be tragic to repay Your Majesty's grace. However, I think that it may be inappropriate to give offices, and it may be more appropriate to give honors."

"Why is this award?" The emperor couldn't help but say wonderingly, even Su Dongpo and others turned their attention to Wang Yang.

"The reason why we don't give a title is because our Song Dynasty has been demoted and the officials have been slightly reduced. If we give it to you again, it would be inappropriate."

"However, if you are awarded a medal, you are a noble person, but you can only award a medal without paying a salary, just for honor..."

Wang Yang said with a very clear meaning, that is, any merchant who has made contributions to the country and the people can report to the court through prefectures and counties, and give merits to the court. At least it is a gentry, a village man, then a village son, then a village uncle, and the village waiter.

Those who receive the title of honor can all be seen as officials who do not participate, but if they are criminals, they must go to the court to the road-level yamen, and the road-level yamen will personally send officials to confirm the offender and deprive him of his meritorious position before they can be considered guilty.

These medals cannot be passed down to future generations, but the prefectures and counties where the merchant is located should be engraved on stone tablets outside the county government for the people to learn about it, and can also inspire wealthy people in the prefectures and counties to follow the example.

Moreover, these contributions to the country and the people are divided into several types: one is to build bridges and pave roads for the people, one is to cause disasters and pay money and grain to help the government, and the other is like the Wanhong Trading Company, who helps our great Song Dynasty fight against the enemy through money and grain or other methods...

The emperor's eyes shone when he heard this, and Su Dongpo and others couldn't help but look at each other, and agreed.

Su Dongpo, the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty who has been in charge of the local government many times and has been in charge of the country, couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.

"As soon as this policy is made, those merchants in the world will inevitably follow the example, and they will also receive honors for their merits. They are always alert to their honors, and are afraid of losing their merits. In this way, even if those merchants cannot be as gentlemen as blondes, at least they can make me lose a lot of public grievances in the Song Dynasty..."

"Okay, a good idea for awarding merits but not jobs. In this way, everyone in the Song Dynasty should be kind, and the people in the world will have more peace and less resentment." Zhang Qi couldn't help but sigh deeply and said.

"I'm approved. This policy is left to Su Qing and the Ministry of Rites. Don't let me down." The emperor nodded heavily and replied.
