Qiming 1158

Chapter 731 Su Yonglin doesn't pay attention to business

This time I came to Lin'an and it was different from the last time I came to Lin'an.

This time when he came to Lin'an, Xin Qiji clearly felt that the atmosphere of the Southern Song court was different from the last time.

It seems that replacing a group of hard bones of the main war faction to gain power really has a great impression on the atmosphere of a court.

In this regard, Xin Qiji was secretly vigilant.

When he met Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo before, what Zhang Jun said to him made him even more fresh in his memory.

"After I came to Lin'an, I was received by His Majesty. His Majesty held my hand and cried to me, saying that when the Northern Dynasty army was besieging the city, he did not want to give up resistance, but there was no way.

He said, "The monarch is not the monarch of the subjugated country, but the ministers are all the ministers of the subjugated country." Does Director Xin know how much impact this sentence has on me?I cried out at the time, I said that I am very sorry, Your Majesty, when His Majesty needed me most, I was not by his side!
But this kind of thing will not happen in the future, I will stay by His Majesty's side to advise him, I will never let the previous things happen again, I will never allow anyone to insult Da Song and His Majesty again! "

At that time, when Zhang Jun said this to Xin Qiji, his face was serious and unwilling to be outdone. He felt that he did not want a high-ranking official from a country that had just lost a war, but rather like a creditor who came to collect debts.

Xin Qiji knew the news of the great changes in the Southern Song Dynasty before he sent the envoy. This news was sent to the Central Capital by Su Changsheng through his own intelligence channels.

The intelligence revealed that a major change had taken place within the Southern Song court.

Because Zhao Gou fled and was not in Lin'an, Zhao Tan seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and launched his own reform action.

The moderate court dominated by the original Lord and faction has fallen, and Zhao Tan has replaced them on a large scale, replacing a large number of officials of the main war faction who were previously excluded from the court to take their positions and seize their power.

The return of these excluded officials to the central government not only helped Zhao Tan to consolidate his position and power, but also transformed the Southern Song court from a moderate to a radical one.

This drastic change was not expected by the Ming government before.

Su Yonglin believed that in the early days of Zhao Tan's rise to power, because he had no foundation, he had to rely on the support of Zhao Gou and his cronies in order to take power and govern stably.

Even if a limited number of courtiers can be replaced in power, it cannot substantially change the nature of the Juhe faction leading the court.

But it is different now.

Because of the advance of the Ming army, Zhao Gou fled, and he has not returned until now.

And in that war, the cowardice of the Lord and the ministers deeply stimulated Zhao Tan, and it also made Zhao Tan feel a strong sense of crisis.

So seized the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity of Zhao Gou's absence from Lin'an, Zhao Tan came to a special cleansing.

The high-ranking officials of the Lord and Sect were slapped off by him, and seamlessly connected to the high-ranking officials of the Lord's War.

The high-ranking officials of the main war faction represented by Zhang Jun and Chen Kangbo quickly ascended to power, and they rejected the hawks and dogs of the main war faction on a large scale, and promoted the young people of the main war faction they admired.

This sudden situation made Su Yonglin attach great importance to it.

"What I didn't expect was that Zhao Gou's escape was so straightforward, but it gave Zhao Tan an excellent opportunity to promote the main battle officer. As a result, even if Zhao Gou returned to Lin'an, it would not have much impact on Zhao Tan. force.

In the future, the Southern Song Dynasty court will definitely be a restless court. They can't be satisfied with the current situation and will definitely try to change it. Moreover, as far as I know about Zhang Jun's past, it can be as long as three years or as short as two years. There will be war for sure. "

Before Xin Qiji set off, in the discussion hall, Su Yonglin and his ministers discussed the new government of the Southern Song Dynasty together.

In the next few years, for the Ming Empire, the mainstream was construction, the Yellow River diversion project, and the water conservancy projects launched in various places.

Once the Southern Song government changed its nature, it would definitely try to change the status quo and seek war.

Wu Chen didn't care much about such a situation.

You Qi had just won the battle, and even Xin Qiji despised the Southern Song Dynasty.

"The Southern Song Dynasty's military is weak, whether it is active attack or passive defense, it is not as good as me. If you dare to fight, it is nothing more than adding money to Daming."

There are also many people on the side of Wenchen who think so. They feel that the Southern Song Dynasty was oppressed by the Ming Dynasty. Even if they want to restore the economy, it is very difficult, let alone the military. They cannot rebuild their lost army within five years, let alone take the initiative. attack?

But Su Yonglin doesn't see it that way.

"It was said earlier that the reconstruction could not be completed within five years, and it was judged under the situation of constant internal struggles in the Southern Song Dynasty, but now, the Southern Song Dynasty court is all officials of the main battle party, and the emperor Zhao Tan's goal is very clear.

Under such circumstances, as long as they can afford the money, it is not difficult to restore the army in a short period of time. As for whether they can afford the money, they will definitely not be able to rely on themselves. But don’t forget that the maritime trade in the Southern Song Dynasty was extremely developed. The income of sea merchants is very rich! "

For the first time, Su Yonglin raised the issue of maritime trade at a court meeting.

The ministers had to add this variable to the overall game situation of the two sides.

Before that, the Ming court had hardly mentioned commercial issues at the national level.

There is no doubt that the Southern Song Dynasty is very dominant in the traditional commercial field, and even more dominant in maritime trade. It has trade relations with countries in East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and even the Middle East and Africa. Every year through maritime trade, it can give They bring in huge amounts of financial revenue.

Although this income was not used by them to improve the national economy and people's livelihood, this income existed objectively, and Su Yonglin was very envious.

The Ming Kingdom has just established a state, and it has undertaken the rotten plate of the Jin Kingdom. It is fighting and restoring construction. There are major projects and agricultural production problems everywhere. At this stage, agricultural production and restoration project construction are the most important. Must stand aside.

Furthermore, the premise of commercial development is abundant material production. Without sufficient material conditions, what can we do business with?

With the size of the Southern Song Dynasty, it is not necessarily a good thing to use a large number of production products for business. They exchanged fortunes that cannot be eaten and cannot be used for reproduction through maritime trade, which can only accelerate the decay of the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty. A luxurious life cannot enhance the national strength of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Even if the money belongs to Su Yonglin, Su Yonglin does not have the confidence to swallow the money for the time being, because the production system of the Ming Kingdom has not yet reached that point, and rushing in large sums of money will only cause inflation and unhealthy business development. Cause commerce and agriculture to compete for labor and destabilize the country.

So obviously, under Su Yonglin's deliberate control, the Ming Empire has so far not possessed strong commercial power, and the only thing that can be said is the private salt trade that cannot be put on the table.

In this link, the Ming Empire had an advantage over Song and made a lot of money.

In other commercial areas, because of the southward shift of China's economic center since the Tang and Song dynasties, it was difficult for the northern territories controlled by the Ming Empire to gain the upper hand in business.

But then again, in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Su Yonglin didn't pay much attention to commercial development. What he paid attention to was nothing more than the control and development of important products and technologies related to national security.

For example, grain production, iron smelting industry, and large-scale horse breeding are the keys to the survival of the country and the combat effectiveness of the army. Of course, it is worth investing a lot of money to develop.

As for other businesses, they are basically inherited from the Jin Kingdom period and have not been specially supported.

Without special support and technical difficulties, the competition in the business field of the Ming Dynasty is certainly not as good as that of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Just as the Jin Kingdom was inferior to the Southern Song Dynasty in terms of maritime trade.

Not only is Su Yonglin not wanting it for the time being, but it is also difficult for the Ming Kingdom to grab all the maritime trade shares from the Southern Song Dynasty, unless a war is launched to completely destroy the Song Dynasty and replace it.

However, in a short period of time, Su Yonglin had no plans or preparations to destroy Song.

Having said that, the Ming Empire is not without its own fist products.

In addition to ginseng and deer antler, which are well-known as precious medicinal herbs and fur products, the Ming Empire's best weapons were excellent war horses and high-quality ordnance.

If a suitable buyer can be found to engage in the arms trade, Su Yonglin is willing to make a fortune, because the investment and income in this area can really be used for reproduction and accelerate the development of the iron smelting industry.

And besides the indescribable evil trade, what else could make more money than the arms trade?

But then again, when it comes to maritime trade, Su Yonglin has to think of Japan.
