Song Dynasty: Accumulation of Wealth and Strength

"Financially overwhelmed and militarily weak, the root cause of this poverty and weakness lies in the special national policy of the Northern Song Dynasty to deal with internal and external challenges - the policy of preventing corruption." Zhao Xu, who had been bedridden due to illness since childhood, had limited physical functions and could only seek solace from books. When he opened his eyes after death, he found that he had arrived in the second year of Yongxi in the Northern Song Dynasty, and his soul was possessed by Zhao Yuanzuo, the eldest son of the emperor who was suffering from mental illness. This year Li Jiqian rose to prominence in the northwest. In this year, the Empress Dowager Xiao Chuo of the Liao Kingdom began to make the Liao Kingdom increasingly prosperous through a series of reforms. In this year, the internal affairs of the Northern Song Dynasty began to show signs of poverty and weakness. Zhao Xu clapped his hands and thanked God for giving him a good identity to live a new life. However, in order to live a good life, he must first prevent himself from being deposed as a commoner and imprisoned on the Double Ninth Festival, and also resolve the conflict between his original body Zhao Yuanzuo and his father Song Taizong Zhao Jiong (Zhao Guangyi).
