Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"There are hundreds of millions of people in the Song Dynasty, and those who are rich, at least a million people. I only need to buy these products in the Kingdom of Jin, and then sell them to these million people, and I can make a lot of money."

What this means is that my big song is big enough, so I can play casually!

Han Li wondered, "Won't they come to my Daikin to buy it themselves?"

Qian Wugan laughed twice and said, "You want to buy rare products from Dasong, would you like to go to Dasong to buy them yourself?"

Han Li fell silent.

What do rich and powerful people fear most?

I am most afraid of death!

Who would go to the enemy country to buy goods by themselves?

Han Li said again, "You can ask someone to buy it."

"Aren't I here?" Qian Wu said.

"Song Ting promised us that he was willing to pay a high price for our products, could it be for..."

"That's right, to tell you the truth, I was indeed entrusted by the imperial court." Qian Wu went straight to the point, "The reason why the imperial court agreed is because the imperial court wants to earn this money."

"In the past, it was the private merchants of the Song Dynasty who acted as a bridge between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. Now it is the Song Dynasty who wants to monopolize it by raising the market price?"

"Admiration!" Qian Wu said.

Han Li laughed loudly: "Song Ting is going too far."

Qian Wu did not argue.

Qian Wu's task is to convince the Jin people that Da Song's economic warfare is justified.

Only by convincing the Jin people that Da Song is profitable from it will the Jin people quickly reach a consensus and speed up the absorption of Da Song copper coins.

Qian Wu stroked his beard, his small eyes showed the light that profiteers are familiar with, and he said with a smile: "Who doesn't make money if you have money, our court wants to make money, and your country also wants to make money. What a pity that we lost those businessmen among the people!"

Han Li said, "Ahem, to tell you the truth, I have quite a few of the products you want."

"It's easy to talk about." Qian Wu immediately understood, "I don't ask where the product comes from, as long as I can get it back to Da Song and sell it at a good price, it's like a copper coin, I don't care where it comes from, it's money, that's good thing!"

"Brother Qian is really my confidant and friend, let's go, I will prepare some thin wine to entertain Brother Qian."

"Then you're welcome!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, instantly as if they had been friends who had reunited for many years.

On October [-]th, Han Li selectively reported his conversation with Qian Wu in Wei Wangfu.

After listening to Wu Shu, he asked: "So, the Song people's previous actions had a reason, and it was their own fault?"

"It's true. Over the years, Song merchants have indeed made a lot of money. Just a man named Lu Qingliu who I knew as an official, who was active in the Song and Jin borders for many years, made a lot of money. Now he is also Song Ting has incorporated it, and it is estimated that all the money earned has been taken away by Song Ting."

"Song Ting makes hundreds of millions of money every year, and the Zhao family still thinks about the money from the Song-Jin trade?" Wu Shu asked in bewilderment.

Han Qixian said: "Although the Song court has a lot of money every year, there are also many officials in the Song Dynasty, and the treatment is higher than that in our dynasty. The number of soldiers in the Song Dynasty is large, and it costs money to fight. Since the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, the Song court has faced financial problems. The reform of the system is to solve the finance of the Ministry of Households."

"Han Xianggong means that Song people really don't want to fight now, they just want to do business with us?"

"It's still possible."

Wu Shu thought for a moment, then said: "The king just received the information from the scouts on the western front. The Naiman from Mobei went south to Xingzhou and broke through the Xingzhou defense line of the Song people. Guess who is in Xingzhou?"

The crowd remained silent.

"Yue Fei appeared in Xingzhou."

"Yue Fei was originally in Anbei Mansion, and the Naiman attacked Xingzhou. It is normal for Yue Fei to support Xingzhou."

"However, there has been no news from Anbei Mansion that Yue Fei has assembled his troops to move westward."

Everyone was silent again.

Wu Shu said: "I feel that the Song people may have other plans. Yue Fei is not in Hebei, nor is he in Anbei Mansion. Could the Song people be plotting the Western Regions?"

Everyone was slightly surprised.

Wu Shu continued: "If the people of Song conspire to the Western Regions and transfer a considerable part of their troops, as well as people like Yue Fei to the Western Regions, that is really a great opportunity for me to go south to concentrate the army!"

"Your Highness, absolutely not!" Han Li said immediately.

"Why?" Wu Shu's expression darkened, and his eyes fell on Han Li like a knife, causing Han Li to tremble in fright.

From Wu Shu's point of view, Han Li is interested in money from the Song people.

Han Li said: "Since the people of Song Dynasty are willing to do business at a high price now, our income will be greatly increased, and we can expand more military supplies and strengthen our strength, so as not to eat the meat that is delivered to our mouths."

Wu Shu immediately slapped the table angrily, and shouted: "Compared to this little money, what this king wants is the Central Plains!"

Han Li was too scared to say a word.

Wan Yanjing said: "Your Highness, what Han Li said may not be wrong. At present, the iron mines in Yuyang are still increasing, the number of artillery can continue to increase, and the number of soldiers in armor and armored cavalry can also continue to increase. As for being impatient, since the people of Song Dynasty have expressed that they don't want to fight anymore, there is no difference between going south now and going south next year, or the year after next."

"Then Yue Fei is not in Hebei at this time, it is a great opportunity!"

Han Duo said: "Even if Yue Fei went to the Western Regions, I'm afraid he won't be able to return in a short time. Moreover, Song Ting's concentration of troops in the Western Regions will definitely consume some, and we will not be in a hurry."

Wu Shu didn't say anything more, the swaying Wu Shu still unknowingly walked the same path as Brother Li Cha.

Technology has changed society, but when has human nature changed?

After Qian Wu took a trip to Yanjing, Song Jin's new trade quickly entered a new stage.

In November of the 15th year of Jingkang alone, the trade flow in Liaodong soared from [-] guan in September to [-] guan.

With the size of Jin Guo, Da Song only needs to spend tens of millions of pennies, and Jin Guo will soon enter uncontrolled inflation.

Jinren, who have never experienced inflation, do not know how terrible the consequences are.

On the contrary, Zhao Ning, who was sitting in the Wende Palace, was already happy after seeing the latest trade report in Liaodong.

The magic box is opened, how can it be closed casually.

Sure enough, in December, Jin people in Liaodong began to sell grain to Song Dynasty privately.

Da Song has no shortage of food at all, and Da Song has no shortage of money.

And this incident is just a very small episode of border smuggling.

Even those grains are mixed with other commodities, but this is absolutely extraordinary.

In order to make money, the businessman is finally willing to sell the rope to hang himself to the murderer.

Of course, the silver coins minted from the silver mines developed in Japan flowed far beyond the country of gold.

The new currency is flowing into the South China Sea at an accelerated rate, further revitalizing the business of the entire South China Sea.

At the end of the year, the first huge amount of thenardite mined from Gaochang was transported back to Bianjing.

Its samples are placed on Zhao Ning's desk case.

Chapter 1358 The Reunion of Song Dynasty and Daliao Dynasty (Part [-])

"Your Majesty, this stone is not pure thenardite, it only contains thenardite."

Chen Gui looked at it carefully for a long time and said.

Zhao Ning just nodded without expressing any opinion.

After all, he knows nothing about these things.

Don't talk nonsense about areas you don't understand. It is respect for knowledge, respect for others, and self-respect.

"There is a lot of fire nitrate." Chen Gui sniffed it carefully, "It can be separated and developed for gunpowder."

Zhao Ning asked: "If the quantity is sufficient, can the explosives we mentioned last time be mass-produced?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the explosives mentioned last time are mainly in terms of dosage. If a sufficient amount can be provided this time, a large amount of explosives can be deployed in the army."

The explosive he mentioned here is actually black powder, not TNT. It is nothing more than an increase in dosage and an adjustment in shape.

As long as the dose is enough, it can be buried under the city tower and blow up the city of the Kingdom of Jin.

"Then the number of artillery configurations of the navy can also be increased?"

"can."

"Okay! I have already notified the commanders of the frontiers to report the number of artillery pieces. The Military Weapons Supervision must make preparations to increase the number of artillery pieces in Guochao by at least five times!"

Time flies, and 15 years of Jingkang have passed in a blink of an eye.

In the first month of the 16th year of Jingkang, the city of Tokyo was always snowing.

In addition to participating in many Spring Festival ceremonies, Zhao Ning often goes to Gewuyuan in the rest of the time.

He does only two things:

One is to care about the progress of gunpowder expansion.

Although he doesn't know how to make gunpowder, he feels a sense of accomplishment when he sees Gewuyuan's iteration of the gunpowder ratio every day.

As time went by, more and more fire nitrate was transported back from Gaochang.

The gunpowder production workshop of the Military Weapons Supervisor has also been greatly adjusted, and both the site and the manpower have been fully supplemented.

The second is to care about the laying of cement roads.

At present, many streets in Tokyo have been paved with cement, including Yujie, which is already a cement street at this time.

Of course, the quality of this cement is incomparable with that of the 21st century, but it is much better than the roads of the past.

The city of Tokyo has finally bid farewell to the situation where mud is everywhere after a rain.

But for Zhao Ning, the most important thing is the cement road from Bianjing to Yanmenguan, the cement road from Bianjing to Zhendingfu, and the cement road from Bianjing to Chang'an.

In the blink of an eye, it was March, and even the snow and ice in the Western Regions began to melt.

Bai Buhua hurried to the gate of Husi Ordu City's palace, but Chuang Guer stopped him.

"General Bed Gu'er." Bai Buhua's tone was trembling.

"Your Excellency is..."

"I am worshiping flowers, and I am the son of Yinan Chihan."

"Oh, I remembered."

"General Chuang Guer, when we went south to Xingzhou, we were attacked by the Song Army and suffered heavy losses."

"I've heard about this." Zhu Gu'er sighed and said, "I've reminded Yi Nan Chihan many times, don't take it lightly, and pay attention to the Song Army. After two victorious battles, are you overwhelmed with complacency?"

"This..." Bai Buhua was a little surprised by what Zhuang Guer said, and he said, "Has Your Majesty God Bless come back?"

"I'm back." Zhu Gu'er said, "Your Majesty God Bless has just returned, and Master Wang has already defeated the Turkic coalition forces in the river."

Speaking of this, Zhuang Gu'er's tone was full of pride that was barely concealed.

This matter is enough to make all Khitan people proud.

Just last September, Yelu Dashi's army defeated the coalition forces of various countries in the Hezhong area.

Seljuk Sultan Sanjar was defeated and fled, and the Khitan forces officially advanced to the west of the Amu Darya River, less than [-] miles away from the Caspian Sea.

The entire Seljuk Empire trembled in front of Yelu Dashi's soldiers.

Regardless of the seven river basins or the various ethnic groups in the middle of the river, they have now surrendered in front of Yelu Dashi, and a new overlord of the Western Regions world has appeared.

This war is officially called the Battle of Katwan in official history.

It greatly weakened the strength of the Seljuk Empire, which in disguise reduced the military pressure on the Roman Empire on the Black Sea.

"Please ask General Zhu Guer to wait for me to meet His Majesty God Bless."

Chuang Guer looked very embarrassed, pointed at the people on the other side, and said to Bai Buhua: "This is Zaikeer, the son of Bi Lege, who came to Husi Ordu City from Ye Mili. , have been here for two months, and this one, Basimi, is also the son of Bilge, they are all waiting to see His Majesty God Bless."

Bai Buhua was stunned, and said: "We are in a very urgent situation now, the Song army has attacked our pasture twice."

"Coincidentally, they are probably more anxious than you. The Song Army has already occupied Gaochang City and Beiting City, and sent troops to the pastures north of Tianshan Mountain no less than ten times."

Zhuang Gu'er pointed to the brothers Zaiker and Basimi next to him and said.

"This..." Bai Buhua looked pained.

"Worship or not, don't worry, God Bless His Majesty will not just sit idly by."

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Gu'er walked in first.

At this time, Yelu Dashi was discussing with his important ministers about the Song Army.
