[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City

In July, fire is flowing, Mars is traveling westward and early autumn has arrived, and the leaves in Bianjing City have gradually turned yellow.

Located in the Pingnan Palace in the center of Bianjing City, the owner here is making tea and discussing Taoism, which is very elegant.

To be precise, it was Bai Jinxi who made the tea.

Since Xia Anran entered this world, she has no intention of learning the tea method. Learning the method is difficult and complicated.In addition, Bai Ershao already knows this thing, as long as there is one person in a family who can do it!This can improve the lover's sense of honor and increase the interest of life!

In this regard, Xia Anran expressed that she was not guilty at all and had plausible words.

After working for several days, Pingnan Wang was finally able to temporarily vacate himself, huddling himself in the fluffy duvet that had basked in the sun during the day. When he saw Bai Jinxi sitting on the couch, he immediately tilted his head and planted his roots on his lover.

The man didn't care about Xia Anran's laziness at all. He leaned to the side to make it more comfortable to lean on. With the other hand, he pinched Xia Anran's paw, and after confirming that the temperature was acceptable, he took the tea cup and stuffed it into the cup. In his hand, "The official asked about the situation of the grassland in the hall today."

Xia Anran immediately showed an expression of interest. He sat up straight and looked at Bai Jinxi, and heard him say, "King Dangxiang withdrew his army and handed over all the military power in the leased land to the Northwest Army."

"What about the population?"

"Sixty percent remain."

Xia Anran pursed her lips and thought, "Sixty percent, it's a little less."

Most of these six adults must be old and weak. The young and middle-aged must have been taken away, leaving some people who cannot leave their homeland or those who voluntarily stayed. "How can the officials say?"

"Anzhi."

Oh, that is to take the route of peaceful evolution.

If we want to evolve peacefully, we need to relocate some herdsmen or border populations. We are all ordinary people and we are more acceptable to each other.Now the situation is not as he expected.

Although the document has been signed, it is true that Li Deming's repentance cannot be ruled out after the party envoy went back to report. Although such behavior between countries can be said to be a rogue, the integrity of the men who tie the horses has never been placed on this aspect. , in order to survive and become strong, the nomads never miss a chance.

But no matter how Li Deming chooses, Song Guo has already prepared corresponding measures, even Zhao Zhen is still secretly expecting him to choose to go to war, but he didn't expect that the king of the party was more tolerant than they thought.

What a formidable enemy.

Xia Anran thought so.

The area he drew borders on Tubo, and is the easternmost end of the Hexi Corridor. Now that Tubo has mixed forces, it is a good time to fish in troubled waters.

Everyone knows this.

The officials supported Tubo Zong Siluo before. On the one hand, it was because he had a close relationship with Song Dynasty, and on the other hand, it was because of Ma.

Tibetan horses grown in plateau pastures are hard-working and physically strong and are not picky eaters. They have no disadvantages except that they are shorter and need to adapt to a high-oxygen environment for a period of time.

The horse is a good horse, but it is difficult to transport it.

Thanks to Da Song's good friend, the Qiang people, who made troubles, and also got involved in Dangxiang. Originally, it was not easy to borrow from the Qiang people and go through the area where many forces were intertwined. Now Da Song has a high-sounding reason to send troops to sweep up.

Xia Anran yawned, these days he was busy guarding the kiln for several days, and with the change of seasons and the cold wind blowing, there was a sign of a cold.Fortunately, after coming back from being groggy, he slept for two days straight, and after drinking a lot of bitter medicine, he suppressed his sickness today.

But even so, his imperial brother was frightened by him. Once the wind chill is released, it will be a big trouble. It just so happens that the kiln is cooling these few days and no one needs to take care of it. Xia Anran finally got a small one. During the long vacation, you can bask in the sun and mend your brain cells.

It's just that although he was on vacation, Bai Jinxi didn't have time. The court has been in turmoil these days, and Zhao Zhen's cronies are not enough, so he sent two of them out. Now he is absolutely free, and they can only come back at night when they come back. Time to talk.

Xia Anran stretched out her hand to touch the man's ribs, clicked her tongue lightly, and lost weight.

Bai Ershao, who he had raised so strong, has obviously become much thinner in the past few days, and his face is still a bit haggard. Even if he is a martial arts practitioner with strong physical strength, he can't stop Bai Ershao from turning around like this.

Xia Anran, who was full of sleep during the day, swallowed a cup of tea in one breath, then put the teacup aside, looked left and right, but did not find Duoduo, this cub probably went to play with cats and dogs, he is a heartless little one.

Xia Anran, who was beaten up, snorted, and stretched out his hand to pick off Er Shao Bai's coat. The latter raised his eyebrows when he saw this, and his originally stern face immediately became a little playful. This expression was too obvious, Xia Anran didn't even have to listen to him. Knowing the yellow crap that was starting to grow inside his head.

He snapped the eyebrows back to where they should be, and said, "Sleep, I'll accompany you."

The corners of Bai Ershao's lips were smiling, and his eyes, which were usually covered with frost, turned into a pool of soft water at this moment. He stretched out his hand and hugged her close to his arms. He held the weapon for a long time, and his rough knuckles stretched from his lover's hair. Through the middle, he directly hugged the person in his arms.

With a turn of the waist, the little prince who was caught off guard was flattened on the bed.

Xia Anran is afraid of the cold, and now that autumn is approaching, he has already spread a soft down quilt on the bed, and put a layer of mattress on top, so he doesn't feel the slightest.But Xia Anran's heart was full of alarm bells, he stretched out his hand to support Bai Jinxi's shoulder, but unfortunately after looking into the man's deep eyes for a moment, the hand that was touching the man passed through the shoulder and wrapped around the man's neck.

There's no way, he looks so good-looking, he really has no resistance to this face!

After a while, the two separated. Xia Anran gave a dry cough, making his hoarse and lazy voice return to normal. He pushed the person away and said seriously, "Let's talk about the issue of currency reform first."

Second Young Master Bai: "Heh..."

Pang Zexu is a businessman.

Just looking at his surname, one can tell that he has some kind of blood relationship with the current grand master. Although the relationship is so far away that it takes a long time to search for it in the genealogy, they are also their own people anyway.Because of such a relationship, Taishi Pang was also willing to mention his juniors, so he came here - a piece of land that was newly assigned to Song control land.

It took him two full months to reach the land that originally belonged to the Dangxiang clan from the central area of ​​the Song Dynasty. China has always been benevolent and rarely interferes in its internal affairs.Therefore, for these merchants, even if it is the land of a vassal state, they rarely communicate with each other.

Except for a small number of "private" contacts, most of the time they give priority to trading in the market.After all, there are guards from the Song Dynasty frontier army, so it is not easy to cause accidents.

But the situation is different now. Something happened in the summer, and the higher-ups spent money to rent this barren land somehow.This land can neither be farmed nor herded, and there is nothing but the identity of an extension of the Hexi Commercial Road, but for merchants, this commercial road is enough for them to bring resources across most of the border to support the border construction.

As soon as he got the news that the peace talks were going well, Pang Zexu walked slowly along the official road with the products of the Song Dynasty, which were especially welcomed by the party members. His timing was just right. Existing disputes are over, just in time to do business.

Along the way, he met many caravans, big and small. Everyone smiled and greeted each other, and soon chatted and exchanged information.

It stands to reason that they should be competitors with each other, but seeing that everyone is going to the same strange place, it is always more reassuring to walk with natives.

These caravans from the Song Dynasty all walked very slowly together. Everyone walked slowly, and don't run into the idea of ​​confrontation. After all, although caravans usually employ some defensive forces, the guards of only 40 to [-] people met. Going to the regular army is just to deliver food. Whether it is the enemy or our own, it is not a good ending for the caravan.The former dies, the latter loses money.

In order to slow down the pace, these caravans did not forget to replenish their supplies in the towns they passed along the way. Finally, it was late autumn when they were about to arrive at the border between Song State and Dangxiang.

The frontier soldiers who were usually on duty here only left a few sporadic teams. When they saw them coming, these frontier soldiers only roughly checked their identities and the goods they brought, and directly signaled to move forward.

Everyone in the caravan felt relieved, and they had a rough idea.

It seems that the defenders of the Song Army have already opened their way. Such a relaxed attitude at the border naturally shows that the status of this place has changed from an important border town to an ordinary pass, and the real border town has naturally moved westward to the original Dangxiang territory.

Actually faster than they imagined?

The caravan rested for a day in the original frontier town and stepped out of the original country. Unexpectedly, they had only traveled for half a day before they encountered a small wave of traffic jams.

The merchants of the Song Dynasty were shocked to find that these Dangxiang people were selling forage on the border between Song and Dangxiang with bundled haystacks.The root cause of the traffic jam is because of these fodder.

The fragrant pastures in the sun made the horses, mules, and donkeys of each caravan unable to withstand it, and some party merchants saw them coming, and immediately cut open the fragrant fruits and moved forward to sell them. The sour smell filled the nostrils all of a sudden, making the people of Song Dynasty feel salivary in an instant when they walked from the land with abundant water vapor in the east to the dry land.

Pang Zexu:? ? ? ? ? ! ! !

No, these party members adapted to their new identities too quickly!He was already ready to face the bitterness and hatred of the party members!

The merchants of the Song Dynasty who thought they were treacherous did not expect to be put on the list as soon as they arrived in the Dangxiang territory, which can be said to be very embarrassing.

Pang Zexu took a deep breath of the fresh grassland air full of fruit fragrance, endured it, but still couldn't stand the temptation of the fruit, and looked at the commotion of the livestock, they had no choice but to accept their fate and took out copper coins to buy fodder and fruit Let the livestock eat their fill first.

Although it is not smooth to be stranded just after traveling, it is also a good opportunity to inquire about news.Pang Zexu's caravan came out earlier, and there was no caravan behind. The herdsmen of Dangxiang were also willing to chat with them. These herdsmen themselves were close to the border of the Song Dynasty, and they could barely speak some Song dialect, so they didn't need the help of an interpreter.

Pang Zexu immediately noticed that there were a lot of golden coins in the herdsman's money bag. He pointed to the money bag with some surprises, because these currencies were new currencies just issued by Song Dynasty this year. When they came, the head of the family followed Taishi Pang's instructions and went to change the copper coins in the first batch.

I never expected that here, far away from the capital, all I saw were basically new coins.

Most of the transactions between caravans and foreigners use a currency acceptable to both parties. Of course, it is basically local currency or barter.

This area is now under the control of Song State, and naturally Song State's currency can also circulate here.

But in fact, even if there is no such thing as leased land, the currency of the Song Dynasty is also a common currency in the surrounding countries.Even so, it is very strange that what they took out now is the latest Tiansheng coin launched by the Song Dynasty!

The sources of information for the caravans are earlier than those of ordinary people, and there are more information channels.They learned early on that new currency would be issued and that the imperial court would crack down on counterfeit currency.For foreign trade-based caravans, this is of great disadvantage to them.

On the one hand, it is because they cannot do business without currency exchange, especially foreign trade business.

In the past, Song State and border countries used copper coins from Song State to facilitate transactions.The outflow of a large amount of money from the Song Dynasty is due to their contribution, but as convenient as it is now, it is as embarrassing as it is now.

Merchants make money with kindness. Before you traded with others using the currency of the Song Dynasty, but now you have to tell others that I no longer accept your old currency, because you are not from the Song Dynasty, and the money cannot be exchanged. There is no reason for this.

So after several large caravans of them repeatedly petitioned upwards, the country finally agreed to set up currency exchange points at the market and the border, and gave them a certain amount of support for the caravans that gave priority to "supporting the border". Resource support, merchants who are convenient for entry and exit can directly exchange currency anywhere.

But the main premise is that they can only use new currency to trade with foreigners.

And after the transition period, if these foreigners use the old Song coins to trade with them, they can only charge a discount fee.

Is it unreasonable at all?No way, the seller's market is so awesome.Merchants in the Song Dynasty never lacked partners, and being willing to accept their requests was the basis for continued cooperation.Of course, in order to avoid trouble, they will inform the partners of the news in advance, and also provide currency exchange services... But there is a service fee... Ahem, talking about money hurts feelings, after all, shipping currency also takes up their cargo volume Well.

When entering this area today, they have already seen many currency exchange points along the way, and there are also many small caravans exchanging currency here.Of course, there are also caravans who are not prepared, or have some strange thoughts, and want to take the opportunity to spend the counterfeit money.

Then they were surprised to find that the merchants in Dangxiang rejected the old coins and only accepted the new ones.

The merchants of Song Dynasty were stupefied, always feeling that these people had robbed them of their words.

The local party members told them that long before the arrival of the caravan, when the Song army entered, they had already publicized the upcoming currency reform of the Song Dynasty.Therefore, the local party members have already exchanged the currency one step ahead of the Song people. This is their special treatment as a leased land. When they traded with the new Tiansheng coins, few people in the Song Dynasty have seen these currencies. ~

He said it lightly, but in fact the officials of the Song Dynasty had done a lot of work to make the local people believe that they were not fooling people with counterfeit money in order to achieve this goal.From disbelief no matter how publicized, to taking the initiative to withdraw money to exchange currency, basically the first batch of young officials who arrived here did not know how many cloth shoes were worn out and how many thighs were scratched.

In order to facilitate the local party nomadic people, the officials of the Song Dynasty also pressed the money carts, and the tribes in the mountains and plains went to exchange them, not to mention the manpower and material resources consumed.

But on the other hand, through this kind of friendly currency exchange work, as well as the fact that local officials went to each tribe face to face, and had one-on-one conversations and explanations with the leaders of each local tribe, this made the local party project The people's sense of resistance to being sold to Song State was much less.

Of course, there are inevitably party members who are too stubborn to exchange currency. They think that the new currency looks golden, and it is much lighter.

So when these caravans arrived here to register, officials came to tell them that they had to use new coins when paying to party members, but they could use old coins when receiving money.

As compensation for the opposition and power of words of the herdsmen that these caravans must face, when the caravan returns, they can exchange the old version of currency for new currency, and at the same time earn points based on the exchanged amount.The currency exchange bureau here will record the quantity, and when the points reach a certain amount, the already thin tariff here will be given another discount according to its level.

Although the number of discounts is not large, the amount involved is not small for the huge trade volume of the Shang Dynasty.

However, only in the early days can they take advantage of this advantage. This is also the benefit given by the Third Division of the Song Dynasty to these merchants who responded to the country's call to "support the border".After all, for latecomers, they will receive less and less old coins.

Therefore, on the one hand, the inflow of new currency is on the other hand, and on the other hand, it is to encourage the outflow of old currency. When winter comes, this leased land far away from the central region has become the first area in the Song Dynasty to fully use the new currency.

It also drove the entire border area. In order to win this point, the witty merchants bought old copper coins around before leaving the border of Song Dynasty.

In this way, it is clearly a small border area, but the currency rotation was carried out earlier than the central area.

Sure enough, you must listen to the old man!Pang Zexu thought so.

He carefully studied the tax bills received by the border trade officials, and was surprised to find that the tariffs here are extremely low, which is basically [-] to [-]% lower than other bargaining venues.

There are many people who have the same doubts as him. Regarding their doubts, the petty officials explained to them that this is the country's economic support for this area, but the tariffs on goods imported and exported through this area will be reduced.Of course, it is only limited to the Song Dynasty, and the party should accept or accept it. This is to promote the development of commerce and trade here. After all, it is connected to the Hexi Corridor. The officials feel sorry for the declining commerce and trade of the Hexi Corridor, so they want to repeat the Han and Tang dynasties. The scenery of the Hexi Corridor during the period, so Da Song gave priority to concessions.

Dear friends, don’t miss it when you pass by. If you want to import and export, whether it’s Tubo, Dangxiang, or Daliao, the taxes and fees here are very cheap, so come from us!

But the businessmen who can arrive here in the first batch are not stupid. From this tariff policy that they have never heard of in the interior before, they can see the government's ambitions for the rented land of Dangxiang.

If the tariffs here can be cut in half, it will undoubtedly attract a large number of businessmen from the Song Dynasty to come here to open trade. This is also a leased place of the Song Dynasty, which is different from the situation in the market.

However, when there are more merchants in the Song Dynasty, more Dangxiang merchants will naturally be attracted. Originally, because of Dangxiang’s exploitation of the caravans along the way and the blockade of their entry into the Song Dynasty, many caravans that originally traded in the Song Dynasty through the Hexi Corridor have all gone north. Going to Wangcheng of Dangxiang, the trade volume of the market bordering the Hexi Corridor has been decreasing year after year.

But now Song State’s actions are obviously attracting more foreign businessmen, and at the same time encouraging Song State’s businessmen to take the Hexi Corridor again. The expansion of the hinterland will naturally mean that Song’s protection scope will increase. Dang Xiang had just offended the State of Song, and it was too late to please him. He thought that he would not be in trouble with the Song Dynasty in a short time...

Well.

At this time, many businessmen in the Song Dynasty are frowning and thinking, should they report to the owner to develop this line?

There are also many business leaders who can make their own decisions here, and they immediately inquired about the safety of this business road, and then they were recommended to the military service project called [Da Song Official Guard].

……What the hell?

To put it simply, it is the tertiary industry of the frontier army, and it is a tertiary industry project allowed by the state. It exists independently of the army, financially independent, and employs elderly and injured veterans. Although they can hang the military flag of their barracks, they are not considered military positions. .

The cost is slightly higher than that of the hired escort, but the key is who dares to snatch the team with the military flag?The safety factor is invisibly much higher.

The businessmen who took the leaflets studied the key points one after another, and then they suddenly realized one thing: wait, can the army enter other countries at will?Although it is a caravan escort, is it someone else's territory?

Regarding this, the little official looked innocent: What are you talking about?We are not the army, we are a subsidiary industry duck of the army.

Caravan: ...is this all right?

The little official said with his thumb: Don't worry, there must be no problem!

Caravan: All right, you can do as you say.

Why don't you give it a try?

When the first snow dyed the city of Bianjing white, the Ministry of Industry finally took out their first product.

After two more smelting, the steel plate was hammered into shape by a hydraulic press, and the first product made was a shield.

Shields are not a popular standard weapon of the Song Army. After all, their enemies are basically nomads mainly light cavalry.There are very few encounters with each other, and most of the enemies use kite-flying tactics to fight at the touch of a button. Except for the defense of the city and the armor of the heavy infantry, shields are generally not needed.

Moreover, due to steelmaking techniques, the raw materials of shields were mostly bronze and iron wrapped animal skins or wood. This is not for saving, but because if all of them are made of metal, the weight is too heavy, which is not conducive to the flexibility of soldiers.

And if it's all about making a steel shield that focuses on defense...with this amount of energy, it's better to make a few more good knives.

Except for a very small number of heavy armored infantry, as well as special special forces or armor-piercing death squads, shields do not occupy a high proportion of the standard equipment of the Song Army, but at the same time, shields themselves are an armament that can demonstrate strength.

Who has the energy to make metal shields without enough iron to waste?Unexpectedly, they were lucky enough to see a steel shield today.

Prodigal son!

That's right, this shield, which can withstand dozens of archers of the imperial army, is undoubtedly forged from steel.The minister of the Ministry of War was so distressed that he could hardly breathe. With such a large piece of steel, the wasted manpower and material resources can make several knives!

And when he heard about the time it took to forge this shield, Shang Shu and the servant fell into a long silence. After a while, they patted their chests, and suddenly felt that their hearts were not so painful.

Yan Shu, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, was fortunate enough to watch all this. He was born as a literati, but among the civil servants and generals of the Song Dynasty, there was always a need to change clothes with one click.

Yan Shu had rotated in various positions before, and many of them were biased towards the military bureau.He is talented and intelligent, so he naturally acquired some skills after several times of practice. After he was promoted to deputy envoy of the Privy Council, he also consulted a large number of military books and martial arts.

It can be said that with his knowledge reserve of martial arts, it is basically not a problem to take the literary test of martial arts.Naturally, he now knows very well what it means for Da Song to be able to create a shield in such a short period of time.

This is not a shield, but a display, showing that Da Song's steelmaking technology has made sudden progress.

His gaze turned to King Pingnan who was standing quietly on the sidelines. He only glanced briefly, floating across the water like a butterfly fluttering its wings, and did not stop much.Even though Xia Anran had a keen sense, she didn't notice this line of sight for a moment.

Just like Xia Anran was curious about him, Yan Shu himself was also full of curiosity about this legendary Pingnan King.

After all, what King Pingnan did and did was beyond his understanding of kings with different surnames.What he couldn't understand the most before was why the officials believed him so much, but imprisoned him in Bianjing City.

Someone told him earlier that it was because the Pingnan King and the official looked eighty percent alike, but after repeated observations, Yan Shu felt that the resemblance was only five or six percent. One piece can be distinguished, so this reason should not be valid,

And until today, he may know some insider information to some extent.

For a talent like King Pingnan, if he is placed somewhere, it will be a great loss to him, or to the Song Dynasty. What's more frightening is that he himself doesn't realize it.

That's right, although from the beginning to the end, the prince's role in these times seems to have always been-to make trouble, disrupt the situation, and make trouble.But Yan Shu saw his guiding steps from every request he made and various behaviors.

Although it's a bit impolite... Yan Shu smiled slightly, his eyes were clear and bright, but he felt that he liked this little prince very much.

Xia Anran didn't know that someone had a sudden increase in his favorability. He was leaning next to his brother and explaining to his brother in a low voice how the shield was formed, and what role the hydraulic press played. The power of the machine, by the way, praised a wave of craftsmen in the workshop.

At the same time, he also highlighted the usefulness of this shield to his brother.

Cough, in fact, Xia Anran's original goal was of course not to make a shield, he wanted to make a plate armor.

But the final result of a person who has no experience in armor research to make difficult armor such as plate armor is that the things made according to his statement are more suitable for shields than armor.

Ahem, of course, the shield itself can also be used as armor.

That is to say, when soldiers no longer need its cover to move forward, they can also pass it through the armor to protect the safety of the chest and abdomen.

One thing for two purposes, it can't be more cost-effective~

Seeing that Zhao Zhen was curious about this, a soldier of the Forbidden Army showed the emperor how to wear it, and all the ministers were amazed.

Zhao Zhen grinned as he watched the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry hand over the application for the mass production of this type of armor to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, and signaled him to go through a procedure and give priority to approval, trying to make a batch before the Bianhe River was frozen and sent to the north. By the way, if the output is enough, I will send some in the northwest as well.

The emperor opened his mouth and ran down.

The Minister of the Ministry of War was bitter in his heart, but he couldn't say a word. He silently turned his head and looked at Shangshu Hubu who was standing aside. The latter's expression was blank, which was obviously what he thought.

That's right, the whole thought of the two of them at this moment is - to burn money again!

Whether it was the previous rebuilding of the frying furnace by the Ministry of Industry, or the subsequent development of refractory bricks and the fuel-burning trip to make coke, these two departments closely related to the Ministry of Industry in the Song Dynasty felt annoying from all aspects!No!win!bother!

Since Nan Wang joined the Ministry of Industry, the official's unconditional tolerance and preference for Nan Wang has turned into a preference for the Ministry of Industry. In less than a year, the Ministry of Industry has transformed from a weak department to a The bulk that holds several pardons.

This state does not know how many people have broken their teeth.

And the most damning thing is that they did get some results, and even many of their blueprints and experimental records were sealed separately without the third division.

In other words, even the first financial department of the Song Dynasty, they don't know what the Ministry of Industry has done. They can only see the huge kiln erected on the bank of the river, and a steel plate that was taken out today, but the above However, it has repeatedly stated that it will allocate funds, and it goes without saying that it is aggrieved.

It's almost the end of the year, and the Ministry of Industry has come up with this product, no doubt it wants to get a wave of emperor's favorability before closing the pen!

If this operation is successful by them, there is no doubt that by next year, the resources for the Ministry of Industry will be even greater.

Tsk, all of them are scheming dogs.

Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry looked honest back then, but in fact he was not at all.

Now think about how it is possible to triple jump if you are honest!This person controls Nan Wang, and seeing the government's tolerance for Nan Wang, he coerces Nan Wang for resources, which is simply stupid.

There is a limit to the government's tolerance for King Nan. Now the government is not stable, and in the future, hehe, let's see what happens to him in the future.

I heard that these people from the Ministry of Industry are still secretly worshiping the Taiyi God there, begging the Taiyi God to bless the brotherhood between the official family and the Nanwang, bah, can the Taiyi God take care of all the affairs of the emperor in the world?

If the Taiyi God can really bless the official family and Nan Wang's brotherhood, I will go and make him a golden body!

The author has something to say:

The local tax incentives in the article are extremely effective...the mud can be brought into HK, and HK was really... a small fishing village that was completely ignored by people.Of course, its advantage is that it is a deep-water port and its location is very good.

Tibetan horses are very powerful. In fact, the horses of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty were basically imported from Tibet. That’s right, the man whose name was very difficult to pronounce was sold to Da Song.

However, Tibetan horses have a more troublesome problem, that is, they will be drunk with oxygen, because they usually live in the plateau area with an altitude of 3-4KM, and suddenly they get too much oxygen in the plain, coughing, and it takes a long process of adaptation, but the plateau The horse's strong cardiopulmonary function ensures its running and endurance.

So strictly speaking, the Renzong and Shenzong dynasties were not short of horses. Later, after the death of the elder brother, the Tubo regime began to fight among themselves again, and the Song Dynasty once again entered the dilemma of having no horses.

But the Tibetan horse, it, is a small breed.

A tall horse is still a dream.

Regarding currency, um... You can also see from the text that the currency is the advantage of the national currency. When correcting this typo, the author happened to see that Myanmar added RMB as the official settlement currency. In fact, since 17, RMB has always been In challenging the international status of USD, monetary economics is a very complicated subject, and it affects the whole body. The amount of US dollars in China’s reserves is enough for the United States to show you with small eyes many times, but at the same time, Russia also reserves a lot. RMB, and Russia said at the beginning of this year that it would sell USD to increase RMB reserves.

It is hard to say whether the 18-year trade war has anything to do with China's idea of ​​moving currency quietly.

For our country, there are pros and cons.

When China was seeking development, it bought a large amount of USD in order to send peace of mind to the United States at that time, saying: You see, we bought so many dollars and saved so much. This is our pigtail. Look at how friendly we are. We It will definitely not harm you, because if your dollar falls, don't we have to suffer too?We are a community of interests.

But at the same time, when a large amount of foreign exchange reserves in other countries reaches a certain level, it can also restrain you.Since 17, the United States has been hinting and expressly reminding you China: Hey, brother die, can your RMB be raised?Don't hold back, you're immoral

(China pretends to be stupid ING)

The RMB exchange rate has risen. On the one hand, it means the depreciation of the foreign exchange purchased. On the other hand, it means the change of the trade volume. It used to be USD20 for a piece of clothing, but now it is USD25. Then MADEINUSA’s clothes are USD28. Many old beauties think about it: hey ?Still support domestic production.

Of course, it must be cost-effective for Chinese people, especially when you travel abroad, you will obviously feel that the price is much cheaper.

In the international market, anything you don’t care about is actually being contested, but I have never thought of replacing USD with RMB at all. To be a low-key person, you must be pragmatic.

Here is a Japanese currency.

There are three major safe-haven currencies in the world, namely the US dollar, the Japanese yen and the Swiss franc, but the situation of the Japanese yen is different from the other two. Its low risk is not because of its strong economic or political background, but because of its low internal interest rates. It is convenient for arbitrage, that is to say, investors can buy Japanese yen and then go to other countries to exchange it into a certain currency in large quantities, and then buy Japanese yen. Generally speaking, they will not lose money, and it is especially exciting to make money (cough cough)

Therefore, if you travel, you will obviously find that the fluctuation of the yen is very large. I remember that the lowest price has fallen to 1 to 420RMb. It is now around 620. It was 570 half a year ago. This price is very steep. It's terrible, so if you plan to travel or study in Japan, I suggest you save money early, set a psychological price lower than this and buy it.

……… I am the dividing line where the author forgot what the text wrote………
