I became the son of Renzong

Zhao Xi felt that he had to be pulled back, trying to explain this matter clearly with simple words, or simply with examples, using metaphors.

After casually responding to Zeng Gongliang, Zhao Xi's mind raced quickly...

Chapter 206 Profound Planning (Fourth Change)

After thinking for a long time, Zhao Xi felt that it was appropriate to use the method of explaining to his wife.

It's mainly some concepts and common sense, he just knows what it is and doesn't know why it is, and it is difficult for him to explain it clearly in polite words.

"My lords, it's bitter and cold in Liaoxia, but the warmth retention of wool is not inferior to that of fur, and it can fit next to the body and is easy to wash. If wool is made into clothes, the people of Liaoxia must also like it."

"In this way, buying wool is like Dongchuan Copper Mine. Liaoxia raises sheep to provide raw materials, and Guochao makes finished products before trading. This is one."

"Secondly, the value of the new currency itself depends on the amount of coins supervised by Qian. That is to say, the imperial court can use the new currency to control the income of the people of Liaoxia, and determine the value and number of sheep it raises, which is equivalent to indirectly controlling Liaoxia."

This reason should be understandable.

Just like my servants, if you do work, I will reward you, if you don’t work, you won’t be rewarded, if you do more or less, it’s up to you whether you give rewards or not.

These words are straightforward, but the problems mentioned are very big.So for a while, the entire Chuigong Palace fell silent.

Give everyone time to digest.Zhao Xi lit the red clay stove and started making tea. It was making tea, not brewing it.

During the Southern Expedition, in Xuzhou, he finally saw fresh and tender tea leaves.I don't know how to stir-fry tea, so I just casually dried it and brought it back. The taste is not mellow, but it is refreshing than cooking seasoning.

Kung Fu Tea can't play, but still knows some fur.

When it was almost done, I poured tea for the old man and the gentlemen, very respectful.

Zhao Zhen drank it and thought it tasted better than boiled tea.

It's just that he doesn't care about tasting tea now, Xi'er said that today, it seems that he can understand a little bit.

"This is……"

As soon as he spoke, Fu Bi felt that it was not the time to talk about drinks.

"Your Highness, is it kingly?"

After all, it is an elite, Fu Bi said, and the expressions of everyone showed that everyone thought very far.

Scholars have always focused on strategy.Putting aside the method of trading wool, these gentlemen can figure it out simply by thinking about it.

"The kingly way must be implemented on the basis of conquering and even fighting fear. As the gentleman said, if the matter of wool lasts for a long time, it will inevitably form a situation where the people's livelihood of the Liao and Xia cannot be separated from the state."

"Or interdependence is more appropriate. Liaoxia is not good at farming, but good at grazing, and the mechanical manufacturing of organs is even more behind that of Guochao. In this way, the final situation is inseparable."

"But there is one thing. The barbarians of Liao and Xia have their plundering nature. If the country cannot protect itself, or if the military equipment is not enough to fight against it, it will be a crime."

These things are all linked together. A country is cumbersome, and nothing can be discussed separately.

Zhao Xi has been thinking for a long time, but he only has a rough idea. If he wants to realize it, it will take ten or eight years or even longer to realize it, even if the monarch and ministers are unanimous.

"His Royal Highness, the current state of the country's military equipment is well known. To achieve what His Highness intends, it is not a one-time thing, and it must be done step by step."

What Wen Yanbo said was also true. Two thousand soldiers of the guard battalion were facing the imperial army on West Jingxi Road. Although there was a gap in his command, the quality of the soldiers was the root cause.

"What Kuan Fu said is very true. Your Highness, this plan is far-reaching. If it can be realized, it will be the foundation of the world."

Ruo Ruo, that is to say, agrees with His Highness's plan, but it will not be easy to make it happen.

At the beginning, Fan Xiang Shitiao Chen was also planned, so what happened?It's not dead yet!

If the Qingli New Deal can continue to this day, His Highness the Crown Prince's current plan can progress as soon as possible, and he can also see the country unify the Western Thieves and recover Yanyun in his lifetime.

It's just... thinking of these things, Fu Bi couldn't help but blame the officials.

Now you know how to lay the foundation for His Royal Highness?How good is it to think so early?

"My lords, Xi's so-called recruitment this time and the dispersal of the guard battalions among the various armies of the country and court is actually to gain some understanding of the country's military equipment."

"Coins are used as a means, like an arrow on a string. When to draw the bow and when to release the arrow, it is all in the court. Now you only need to polish the bow and make excellent arrows!"

"When the situation develops to the point where sheep cannibalize people, the country's military will have to be reorganized for ten or eight years, so that it can protect itself, and even be invincible. That's when the court will release arrows."

Zhao Xi was a little excited when he said it, and his thoughts became clear, at least he knew the result clearly.

"Sheep eat people?"

"Oh, my lords, it is human nature to seek profit. Wool dealers and courts do not affect the original value of sheep, that is to say, the value of sheep will increase."

"Xungui of Liaoxia is also a human being, and he also has the nature of seeking profit. Since the value of raising sheep is high, it is natural to raise more sheep. Therefore, raising cattle, raising horses, and even farming land will be abandoned."

"When it develops to the extreme, people will ignore human survival because of the benefits of raising sheep, or don't care about human survival. That's sheep cannibalizing people!"

This is not alarmist talk, and future generations have such lessons.

This is not impossible, these elites, these gentlemen, are masters who have read all the people in the world and experienced all the affairs of the world.How could he not understand what Zhao Xi said?

"The country should ban raising sheep!"

That's a bit off.Besides, if the imperial court really banned it, it would actually lead more people to raise sheep.

The country controls alcohol, go and see, that scholar-bureaucrat does not make alcohol at home?The imperial court banned green salt, so you can ask the Western Army again, which army leader does not do private salt business?

Prohibition and control means that there are huge profits.

"No need! Gentlemen, the secret method of wool weaving is the only one, which means that the buyer has the initiative. Whoever buys the wool and the price is determined by the imperial court."

Sometimes ban means release, because there is a channel to ban.If it is eliminated directly from the source, there will be no one to do it.

Besides, as far as the territory of the country is concerned, the food produced is only barely sufficient.Who is willing to abandon farming to raise sheep for a nation that has been deeply rooted in agriculture?

"Your Highness, don't discuss this matter with the court, and you don't need to be familiar with the court to spin wool. It's not that you don't believe in the ethics of ministers and workers, but the relationship is too big. The smaller the scope, the better it is to achieve the goal."

Zhao Xi is extremely suspicious that Wen Yanbo has the idea of ​​eating alone.

After discussion, everyone knows that this may have immeasurable prospects, not to mention the natural profits.

Look at each of them nodding their heads... Even if they didn't discuss with the court, Zhao Xi didn't think about dividing into small areas.

Uniting the majority, even most of the courtiers, has benefits that he is reluctant to let go... This is Zhao Xi's consistent principle.

"My lords, Xi understands. It's just that the East Palace is a bit stretched because of the copper and iron mines, all the way to the water transportation line, etc. I hope you don't be stingy, and support some money and food for the imperial court's great affairs."

"In addition, the matter of spinning thread is for women. The East Palace wants to send Zhao Qin to take care of it. Afterwards, if Zhao Qin comes to the door, please inform the ladies, and let them discuss it."

Everyone likes this set, literati don't talk about money, women don't care.Then do it like this.
