I am Da Song

1000 taels of beads, placed in the treasury, can fill a treasury and illuminate the entire palace, which is an unparalleled symbol of wealth.

Zhuliye Kingdom's tribute of such a large amount of wealth must be for a bigger conspiracy.

Otherwise, a big country in the south of Indy, the Song Dynasty would not be able to defeat him, and he would not have paid so much wealth from thousands of miles away.

Tang Yi immediately said to Zhao Huan: "The reason why they are so fanatical is to fight for the status in the tribute system. If they can participate in the tribute with the great power, then the number of tributes will be more frequent, and more ships will be able to go back and forth. Central Plains."

"Through the tribute trade, they can reap huge profits. For this reason, the Zhuliya Kingdom even attacked the Angkor Dynasty and captured Surya's imperial chariot as a tribute to the Supreme Master."

Zhao Huan asked: "I can't help but go to the sea, why do they still try their best to get closer and pay tribute?"

Tang Yi immediately said: "I can't help but go to the sea, but the main sea routes were under the control of Sanqi Buddha Kingdom before. If it wasn't for the tribute ships, the navy of Sanqi Buddha Kingdom would force all merchant ships to dock at its ports. Merchants coming from the direction of Dashi, If you want to enter the Central Plains, you have to pay a full dinar of wealth taxes to pass."

Twenty thousand dinars, if it is not depreciated, the dinars are still very valuable.

Each ship is [-] dinars, and [-] ships a year is a wealth of [-] million dinars.

The major dynasties in the West can't afford so much wealth.

Tang Yi continued: "It is precisely because of this that the Zhuliye Kingdom maintained good relations with our dynasty while paying tribute. At the same time, it desperately expanded eastward, attacking the Angkor Dynasty and the Sanqi Buddha Kingdom, intending to expand the ruled area to trade routes. "

"In the formation of the army, the elephants are in the front, the small cards are next, the spears are next, the long swords are next, and the bow is behind. Wins often."

That's right, after all, even Surya's royal chariot was captured on the battlefield and sent to the Central Plains as a tribute.

Ordinary small-scale good news, you can't get this level of spoils.

This is like Sima Yi snatching Zhuge Liang's four-wheeled cart on the battlefield. You can imagine how miserable the Shu army was defeated.

Zhao Huan said: "So, in fact, the war in Nanyang is far more intense than that in the West."

Tang Yi nodded solemnly and said: "The most important point is that the imperial court has seriously underestimated the level of civilization in Indi. Their 10,000+ troops are not weaker than the Puritans and Crusaders who are fighting fiercely in Persia. .”

This is indeed the case. The Dashi Sultan only dispatched 10 coalition forces in the Battle of Kangju, and it took the Ottoman Empire for the Puritans to dispatch 17 people to conquer Vienna.

As for the Zhuliye Kingdom, 10,000+ troops can be dispatched now.

Tang Yi made serious plans and said: "I suggest that the government affairs hall, the Privy Council, the three envoys, and the six ministries and nine ministers be called together to hold a court meeting to discuss the deployment of Nanyang and completely control the waterway in the hands of the court."

"In this way, firstly, the tax revenue of the imperial court can be greatly increased. Secondly, it can prevent wars between vassals and vassal states for the hegemony of the waterway, and the loss of life."

Zhao Huan also felt that it was necessary, so he replied: "You will make a letter later, and I will transfer the letter to the Zhengshitang, and let the Zhengshitang preside over the court meeting."

...

"The minister takes orders."

When Tang Yi left, Zhao Huan immediately summoned Tang Wan and said, "Go and call Wu Ge, the Commander of the Imperial City Division."

Wu Ge was on duty in the palace. Hearing that Zhao Huan had summoned him, he hurried to the Chuigong Hall, saluted and greeted him: "I pay homage to the official family, and I bow to all blessings."

"Exemption." Zhao Huan asked bluntly, "Where is Han Sui, a businessman from Suzhou?"

No need to ask in detail, Zhao Huan believed that the Imperial City Secretary must have placed spies around this super rich businessman.

Even Han Sui himself is very self-aware, knowing that there must be spies from the Imperial City Division by his side, and his wealth of tens of millions can already be said to be incomparably rich.

It is actually not a bad thing for him to take the initiative to accept government supervision, which can at least reduce the court's doubts about him.

Otherwise, once the imperial court suspects that his wealth, which is incomparable to the country, is used to plot treason, even though the world is big and overseas is long, there is no room for him.

Wu Ge immediately said: "Han Sui has been near Heling Kingdom recently."

The Heling Kingdom is also a country on Java Island. Because it is located on the main route of the Maritime Silk Road, this small country is also one of the tributary countries of the Great Song Dynasty.

Java is basically the southernmost of the Nanyang Islands recognized by Da Song.

The second chapter of "Jin Ping Mei": "When Ximen Qing met Pan Jinlian, he also felt half-hearted first, and his anger had already penetrated into the country of Java."

But it is not far away from the Great Song Dynasty. It is necessary to know that the influence of the Song and Yuan Ocean Trade Center on the world and on navigation is far beyond the imagination of later generations during the Ming and Qing sea bans.

The Yuan army also sent [-] warships to land on Java Island with troops and destroyed the countries above.

If Song Jun wanted to go to Java Island to arrest people, no one could escape by chance.

Zhao Huan said: "He can run far enough. Fei Ge sent a letter to the spies, and asked the spies to send an edict to the Heling Kingdom, ordering them to immediately send troops to escort Han Sui back to the Central Plains."

Wu Ge said with a smile: "The king of Heling Kingdom passed the news to Han Sui, which is enough to shock Han Sui to his bewilderment."

"Knocking, knocking is fine. If these businessmen don't knock for a while, they dare to walk on the edge of the law for profit."

One can imagine how horrified Han Sui must have been when He Lingguo personally invited Han Sui to return to the Central Plains.

They all ran to the island of Java, and the emperor issued an edict lightly, and the local king led troops over, escorting him back to the Central Plains half softly and half hard.

This is bound to remind her profoundly, don't try to commit crimes, otherwise, if you flee to the ends of the earth, you won't be able to hide from a piece of official document from Song Dynasty.

"However, as far as I know, Han Sui is not trying to hide." Wu Ge said with a smile: "I heard that he has opened up a large plantation on Java Island, and he personally expanded the spice business there."

Zhao Huan smiled faintly and said: "This is a fine man, he is really there wherever there is a profitable business."

"How is his business there?"

"This minister didn't ask in detail. He only knew that he was doing business encouraged by the imperial court, and he didn't open a super workshop in the local area."

Taking a look at the local tributes, you can probably get a clear idea of ​​the local wealth. Zhao Huan called Tang Wan and asked, "What has the King of Heling recently paid as tribute?"

Tang Wan quickly flipped through the documents, and replied: "Giving ivory, pearls, gold for embroidery, embroidered silk strands, variegated silk strands, Jibei woven variegated strands of cloth, sandalwood, tortoise betel nut plate, rhinoceros-mounted sword, gold Silver swords, rattan flower mats, white parrots, and seven treasures adorn the sandalwood pavilion. It makes Biegong Daimao, diptero, cloves, and rattan flower mats."
