As the prince’s teacher, Wang Ning'an didn’t just take his children to play. Autumn is about to pass, and there is still one month left, which is Queen Cao’s birthday.

Wang Ning'an reminded the young prince to prepare a gift for his mother.

The little prince didn't understand the meaning of the gift, but Gou Yaer understood it. He told the little prince to write a poem, or write a lyrics to celebrate his mother's birthday. Last year, Gou Yaer did this, and Yang Xi was happy for a month.

The little prince was worried. He was very poor in his memorization and could not write poetry. He was so anxious that he burst into tears.

Wang Ning'an smiled slightly, "Your Highness, giving gifts is valuable in your heart. Poems certainly represent good wishes, and caring gifts, especially those made by hand, are even more precious. Your Highness, think about it carefully and you will find a suitable gift."

The little prince thought for a long time, took out a cage from his arms, and brought two cans of crickets from his room.

This is his favorite baby, and I have to check it out before going to bed every day.

"Your Highness, are you willing to give this to your mother?"

The little prince hesitated for a long time before nodding vigorously.

"But the mother is not a child, and she can't play like His Highness. There is also a huge palace to manage and there is no time to raise her. What should I do?"

The little prince became even more distressed, frowned, and whispered for a long time: "Sir, please help me."

"Okay, sir, find a way for you!"

Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "Your Highness, let's go and sell the crickets. As long as you get the money, you can prepare gifts for your mother."

The little prince nodded obediently.

Wang Ning'an took the little prince and two sons to the street not far from the Imperial Guard Camp, where dozens of shops sold all kinds of goods, pawn shops and money shops.

All these shops were specially prepared for the little prince.

It’s not that Wang Ning'an was deliberately pretending to be fake, but the prince was only five years old. Zhao Zhen was assassinated again before, so he had to be careful. Although it was specially arranged, the requirements were extremely strict and the prince was not allowed to be more generous, so he treated him as an ordinary person.

The little guy sat on the bustling street with two cans of crickets and cucumbers. Gouyaer was very impatient, but at this moment he was honestly with the little prince. He found that the little prince's hand was always tightly clenched and he didn't know what to do.

The two little guys sat for half an hour, and Wang Ning'an stared at the tea stall opposite. The little guys would look at him from time to time. Wang Ning'an smiled and encouraged them to persevere.

Finally, someone came over. He looked at it for a long time and said that both the crickets and the crickets were not very good, but the cricket jars and the cucumber cage were very beautiful and they were reluctant to buy them.

"20 words, how about it?"

The little prince had no idea at all, and Gou Yaer said with courage: "No, I need 500 quotas!"

The Wang family always had the problem of lions opening their mouths. They bargained and finally sold for 100 yuan.

The two little guys held the money and found Wang Ning'an's tea shop. The red little face was full of joy, especially Gou Yaer. He helped sell 80 more. Gou Yaer insisted that he could only give 20 words to the little prince, and the remaining 80 words belonged to him.

The first time the little prince relied on his courage to refuse, and warned Gou Yaer that he wanted to buy gifts for his mother and was not allowed to rob him!

Wang Ning'an likes to pay attention to the attitude of the little guys. The domineering Gou Yaer thought about it for a while and nodded, but told the little prince, "Wait until next time, you have to give him all the money."

The two friends reached an agreement and became happy again. Here is what to prepare.

100 yuan is not too much, so I can't buy any good things. Wang Ning'an suggested taking them to the vineyard outside the city to pick them. In one month, it would be just enough to make sweet wine.

Pick grapes by hand, wash them by hand, sell some honey, add, stir, and put them in a jar to seal. The white frost on the grapes is natural yeast, which will turn the grapes into fragrant wine...

During the daily activities of the little prince, the Imperial City Department will report to Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao, which is also the biggest source of happiness for the couple.

"The emperor is so young, so he can go out to the street to set up a stall and run outside the city to pick grapes. It's cruel enough!" Queen Cao said, but her eyes were filled with laughter. In front of her, there were two cricket jars and a cucumber cage. There were loud sounds coming from time to time. This was the emperor's treasure, so she couldn't bear to fall into the hands of others!

Not only did Empress Cao not get tired of fooling around these autumn insects, but on the contrary, she also took the initiative to ask the eunuch for advice on how to raise them. She was going to let the crickets and cucumbers spend the winter safely at the right temperature, and the emperor must be very happy...

Zhao Zhen smiled, "These things are not big, but they are really cultivating people. To be filial to your son and do business on the street is to experience the hardships of vendors, to go outside the city to pick them, and to know the hardships of farmers. As an emperor, he can understand benevolent and filial, and to cherish the people, and at least he is a successful monarch!"

...

Zhao Zhen was very satisfied with the growth of the young prince. He didn't even want his son to work too hard. If he could solve all difficulties and let his son be the emperor of peace, Zhao Zhen would be very willing.

After taking the time, Zhao Zhen brought Wang Ning'an to the palace, and Sima Guang, who had returned from Xixia, was also with him.

The court had been discussing for a long time, and many of them advocated taking the opportunity to be tough on Xixia, but after listening to Wang Ning'an's suggestion, Zhao Zhen was ready to manage Qingtang and wanted to make peace with Xixia for the time being.

But even so, we cannot obey everything. We must leave some trouble for the people of Xixia, so that they can't take care of themselves, so that the Song Dynasty can safely attack Qing Tang.

Doing bad things is Wang Ning'an's specialty. He is accustomed to applying a layer of sweet honey to the poison, and before he knows it, you will be poisoned and unable to extricate yourself.

The Liao Kingdom was half-disabled by this hand, and now it is Xixia's turn.

"Jun Shi, what do you think of Li Liangzuo?"

"Deep and deceitful, sinister and vicious, have vision and means, the treacherous hero will not let him go!" Sima Guang gave his own evaluation. Li Liangzuo chose to give up the annual monies in exchange for the captives. This trick has to be said to be very clever.

In fact, the annual monies of the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom were abolished, and the annual monies of the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia Kingdom were also abolished. The original triangular debt was abandoned on both sides. The Song Dynasty was too lazy to give Xixia an annual monies. Abolishing it was the moment, and Li Liangzuo was equivalent to doing favors.

He puts saving people first, and is compassionate to the world and is famous for his masters. As long as he saves people back, all tribes will be grateful to the emperor and take the opportunity to clear obstacles for the rule.

In fighting between the king and the minister, the emperor is born with an advantage. As long as he becomes an adult, he is clear-minded and has firm supporters, powerful ministers are often not opponents.

"Your Majesty, Prince Wang, I'm afraid that Li Liangzuo has already started to make arrangements at this time and is preparing to eradicate Mozang Epang. If the prisoners are sent back at the latest, Li Liangzuo will launch it, and maybe even in advance."

Sima Guang gave his judgment, and Wang Ning'an believed in Sima Guang's ability very much.

"What does Li Liangzuo think about the business matter, especially Qingyan, did he make any requests?" Wang Ning'an said curiously.

"No, he only said that he could maintain the previous 300,000 stones! This is where he is evil!"

Before, Sima Guang went to talk and negotiated with Mozang Epang for 300,000 shi, and later added one after another, reaching 500,000 shi. Cui Xifeng had confessed that he promised to provide Mozang Epang with 500,000 kilograms of pig iron every year, and also to help Mozang Epang get gunpowder and tincture oil, and then offered a huge sum of money. Only then did he persuade the Western Xia, temporarily cut off the green salt trade, and cause trouble for the Song Dynasty.

But Xixia miscalculated. Although the Song Dynasty encountered difficulties, don’t forget that Wang Ning'an had already opened up the Changlu Salt Field. After a short period of ration, he continuously transported sea salt from Changlu to fill the gap in the northwest.

The original salt merchant power was wiped out, but in fact, relying on the Changlu Salt Field was enough to maintain the northwest salt use.

The reason why Wang Ning'an insisted on importing the green salt from Xixia is that the green salt is indeed low in price and good quality. Only by maintaining competition can the salt price be lowered and the people benefit.

In addition, he wanted to use the green salt business as bait, just like dealing with the cattle and sheep business of the Liao Kingdom, gradually causing Xixia to fall.

But Li Liangzuo was obviously more tenacious than the Khitans.

He believed in Li Yuanhao's view. As a warrior, he had a knife in his hand and a war horse under his crotch. He just wanted anything he wanted. If he relied on trade, wouldn't he become a businessman!

Li Liangzuo had no intention of expanding trade with the Song Dynasty, and he even wanted to restrict it.

Only by maintaining the courage and wildness of the Xixia people can we have strong combat power and will not repeat the mistakes of the Liao Kingdom.

From this point of view, it is absolutely no exaggeration to say that Li Liangzuo is a hero!

Although he is only fifteen years old, he cannot be underestimated!

"That... Wang Xianggong, trade is your usual supreme magic weapon. It's not easy to use... What do you think of this?" Guangguang whispered, obviously treacherous. He wanted to see how deep his teacher is in his Taoist practice!

"I have too many tricks. Li Liangzuo is the only one who can control everyone! He is a lump of elm, and he can't be steamed or cooked. Is it the same for others? I don't believe that there are millions of people in Xixia and dozens of tribes, no one wants to enjoy themselves, and no one likes money!"

Wang Ning'an said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, I have asked Chen Shunzhi and Wang Shao to ask the captives of the Proton Army to see who they are willing to serve the Song Dynasty. I am going to use their connections in Xixia to smuggle and corrupt the nobles of Xixia. No matter how stubborn Li Liangzuo is, he cannot stop the money offensive!"

Wang Ning'an said viciously.

Zhao Zhen suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "Wang Qing, I seem to have a better candidate."

"Who is it?"

"Yeli meets beggar!"

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, Wang Ning'an hesitated for a moment and exclaimed, "Your Majesty, this man was defeated by Yeli, who defeated our army at Mikawakou and Yomizukawa? Li Yuanhao's brother-in-law? Isn't he dead?"

Zhao Zhen was surprised when he saw Wang Ning'an, and he was very proud.

"How can I bear to let him die such a good chess piece? Li Yuanhao wanted to kill Yeli clan, and Yeliyuqi fled to the Song Dynasty and prayed for asylum. At that time, someone asked me to return Yeliyuqi to Xixia for peace. I tried to delay it for more than a year, and then found a death row prisoner who was similar to Yeliyuqi, pretended to be hanging himself, and took advantage of the summer to send it to Xixia. When he arrived in Xixia, the body had rotted and could not be identified."
