Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 273 Da Song is very short of money, Li Gang is really strong!
"What does Wa country lack?"

Zhao Huan keenly sensed the opportunity, Baiyin!

Da Song is very rich, but also very short of money, and the lack of money in the market is easy to circulate.

In the Song Dynasty, it was strictly forbidden to mint coins privately. Once it was discovered, people would be wiped out, but it still couldn't stop the smuggling of coins.

Since the third year of Xuanhe, when Zhao Ji played a scorched-earth strategy in Jiangnan, private casting in Jiangnan has become a common practice, but there is still a lack of money.

Very short of money.

Whether it is the government or the people, they are making money like crazy. Copper coins, copper and iron coins, and even iron coins are rampant in the market.

Even so, in the era when smuggling was common, the Song Dynasty was still short of money, which is why Jiaozi, a banknote that does not conform to the times, came into being.

The root of all this is that the commerce and trade of the Song Dynasty are extremely developed.

For a hundred years of Taiping, weak military preparations are a bad result, so the prosperity of commerce and trade is a positive side, and the Song Dynasty is too short of money.

This is also why the folks cooperated when Zhao Ji promoted the use of money from all walks of life.

They hope to solve the problem of lack of money by relying on national credit to promote the development of paper money.

But Zhao Huan knew deeply that this was a matter of lack of money during the Song Dynasty, and it was not enough to rely on seals, but to rely on forging.

Each era has its own characteristics. Although the Great Song Dynasty was short of money and had affected the Huiyi in various places, it was still not suitable for the large-scale issuance of banknotes.

The public does not have the awareness of anti-counterfeiting, and the court does not have any perception of inflation.

No, inflation, who mentioned it in his ear back then?

Zhao Huan fell into deep thought. Before the imperial conquest, someone talked to him about the soaring prices and the people's livelihood. Who is it?

Li Gang thought for a while, with a clear expression on his face, he said with a smile: "Officials, the country lacks too many things, from people's livelihood to military equipment. I don't know what the officials are going to do? Silver?"

"It's silver. Da Song now needs a large amount of currency to support financial transactions." Zhao Huan replied in a daze, and immediately realized that his own words might be a bit of a mouthful to Li Gang's ears. Money has been around for a long time, and silver is rare in Song Dynasty, so it can be used as a medium for large transactions."

Li Gang replied: "Officials, silver can only be stored in the national treasury in the Song Dynasty, and it will be used as an annual gift to the north."

"However, the official battle on Yunzhong Road went well this time, and Han Shizhong played a closed-door beating dog again in Pingzhou. The Jinren had no choice but to beg for peace. Now that Wang Bao is occupying Linhuang and won't leave, isn't the Jinren also helpless? Therefore, silver circulation is also feasible.”

"The Great Song Dynasty was unable to exchange silver as a large amount of currency as the officials said. The most important thing is the insufficient production. My Great Song Dynasty does not produce silver."

Li Gang's understanding ability is very good, and he instantly understood the meaning of this large amount of currency.

Zhao Huan nodded, and said with a glint of money in his eyes: "But he is from Japan! He is a poor country from Japan, so he can make a lot of money by throwing away whatever he wants."

"What to sell to Japan?" Li Gang frowned and thought about it.

How can we correctly take out the silver stored in the Wa country in the Song Dynasty?
Li Gang murmured: "Extremely luxurious, elegant and luxurious luxury goods. Glass, silk, official kiln, tea, these are the things that the upper class of the Japanese country like!"

Zhao Huan thought for a while and said: "There are also various finely forged Buddhist vessels, and some luxurious temple drawings, these things are all good things!"

They are all good things!The old and the young smiled at each other in Wende Hall.

Whether it's colored glaze, silk, or porcelain from official kilns, they are all extremely valuable goods, but are these things really useful?

It is something that only the upper class can enjoy. If they like it, they must exchange it with silver, which will oppress the common people even more.

The upper class are the most vulnerable to corruption. These things may seem harmless, but over time, it is hard to get back.

Especially the blueprints of the magnificent temples that Zhao Huan wants to give to the Wa country, so do you think the Buddha statues should be made of gold?You can't forge a good-looking and easy-to-use Buddha statue, do you want to use my Da Song?Does the roof use some glazed tiles?
The glazed tiles under the cherry blossoms shone brightly in the setting sun. The Emperor and Empress paced under the cherry blossom trees, watching the setting sun in the sky, shining in the magnificent temple. Countless devout believers kept heading towards the temple.

oh!What a beautiful picture!
Spectacular!The spectacle is misleading the country!
Zhao Huan believed that the royal family of the Wa Kingdom, facing the extravagant culture from the upper kingdom of heaven, and the head of the Wa Kingdom who fought with the village chiefs, would definitely use their greatest strength to build a spectacle.

Zhao Huan suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile: "Then what, Dazai, you can find a painter, the kind who paints landscapes, and paint "Longxing Temple under the Cherry Blossom Tree". The painting must be beautiful."

"The kind of beauty that makes people yearn for and have no choice. Give it to the envoy of the Japanese country. This is a strip of water, a testimony of friendship." Zhao Huan bit this strip of water very hard.

It is to bully Japanese people who are uneducated.

"Draw another "The Palace Under the Sunset", so that the country of Wa has a strong demand for returning to the Great Song Dynasty, and then the silver settlement will be made."

"Send someone to make a copy of Zhang Zeduan's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", so that the bumpkins can also see what it means to be in the Kingdom of Heaven."

Li Gang nodded and said: "I still have some ideas. The Wa Kingdom has been studying the culture of my Central Plains Dynasty. I want to ask the officials to allow the people of the Wa Kingdom to come to my Song Dynasty to learn calligraphy, painting, and music theory, so that they can go back to educate the Wa Kingdom. "

Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang and said solemnly: "There are some things that they can learn, and some things that they can't learn. In particular, Guangbei's siege operations don't allow any Japanese to approach."

"Don't let the Japanese know about the upcoming military academy!"

"I know the importance. This is all the knowledge of the divine weapon of the country, and he is not worthy of the Japanese." Li Gang bowed his head and said.

Although the martial arts were not prosperous in the Song Dynasty, it was still an era that paid attention to the debate between Hua and Barbarians. Li Gang and other scholars even looked down on Song Wuren.

Expect scholars to look up to Japanese people?is it possible?

In fact, the Japanese have been sending people to the Song Dynasty, wanting to learn the culture, economy, military and military forging skills of the Song Dynasty, but no one taught them.

The big reason is that craftsmen don't think highly of barbarians.

Craftsmen are all secrets that are passed on to men but not to women. How can it be passed on to Gentiles?
Therefore, Li Gang suggested that the Japanese study in Taixue, that is simply a supreme honor, that is, they will learn calligraphy, painting, and Buddhism...

Zhao Ji's thin golden body is quite beautiful.

Zhao Huan felt that Li Gang's move was much more ruthless than his own.

Is this to raise a group of Dazhi abandoned houses?

"Officials, I feel that the Japanese will be grateful for the merits of enlightenment after all." Li Gang said with a smile.

Zhao Huan laughed out loud, wonderful man.

The forging technology that is really useful to the Japanese and the useful knowledge of governing the country cannot be learned by other Japanese.

Even Confucianism, such a sour and old-fashioned knowledge, is in the ranks of prohibition.

In other words, he is not worthy of the Japanese.

The reason why Li Gang and Zhao Huan colluded in the conspiracy of the three countries is actually more out of the test of national interests.

Maritime trade is an important financial revenue of the Song Dynasty, but most of the Japanese are pirates, and Li Gang does not have any psychological pressure on the Yin Japanese. These blatant supports are actually shady schemes behind the scenes.

If he were not standing in the position of the prime minister of the court, from the perspective of the emperor, and looking at it from a certain height, he would think that Zhao Huan was on good terms with his neighbors, but what kind of plan was behind these few orders?
It's no wonder that Dali and Wa countries don't have accidents.

Li Gang felt a little inappropriate and said: "Officials, where did you learn these heretical ways? Officials, gentlemen..."

Zhao Huan interrupted Li Gang's remonstrance, and said: "When Shaobao left, he kept telling me to be more insidious and more ruthless. Now is a troubled time. I have just equalized the land in the Song Dynasty. The more chaotic others are, the more stable the frontier will be. , Whether it is seeking a country or a land, it must be upright and upright."

"I know it, and Shaobao knows it too. However, this is an expedient measure. When the Great Song Dynasty becomes strong again! One word will set the country, if you don't respect it, the heavenly soldiers will come! This is the glorious and righteous way."

"I'm on Yunzhong Road, and I'm holding a few killer moves in my hands on Yanjing Road. I'm very sinister, and I haven't used them yet."

"Win! Upright!"

"But Da Song needs time. This is what Li Dazai told me."

Li Gang bowed his head and said: "The hearts of the officials are like a bright mirror hanging high, and the ministers don't speak much. At this time of troubles, naturally they will do everything they can. However, it is not a good deed of the emperor, nor is it a good deed of the imperial country. I hope the officials will know. "

"When the minister is here, he can still persuade and stop the officials. If the minister leaves, the officials will think twice every day. Think twice before acting."

Li Gang's voice was filled with sobs, Zhao Huan's scalp was numb, Zhao Huan was already in a very embarrassing situation by sending away a Zhong Shaobao, what did Li Gang say in frustration!

"Dazai is only 43 years old, don't say anything depressing." Zhao Huan knew the words of these ministers, and a few words could change people's emotions.

"Officials, I have a request, that is, the envoys of the three kingdoms to participate in the Supreme Emperor's abdication ceremony. This gave them enough respect, and also put the minds of the envoys at ease. I wonder what the officials think?" Li Gang bowed his head and asked.

Zhao Huan nodded, delegating power to the prime minister himself, such a trivial matter, do you still need to ask?

"Officials, the Supreme Emperor cannot be killed." Li Gang said suddenly.

Zhao Huan stared at Li Gang, and only then did he realize that what this guy was talking about talking about Yanjing City and the envoys of the Three Kingdoms here are all farts!
Tu Qiong saw that the chatter was over, and the topic turned to the Supreme Emperor, so this topic can naturally be expanded.

"Zhao Ying, you go first." Zhao Huan waved Zhao Ying down.

Since accidents happened frequently in the palace, Zhao Huan's daily life was in charge of Zhao Ying, and the five eunuchs who followed him to the north.

Therefore, there were no conspicuous figures in Wende Hall, Zhao Huan believed that these eunuchs would not spread today's words everywhere.

But when discussing the matter of the Supreme Emperor, even the third person can't know, even Zhao Ying.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you? I've said it all. If it's not appropriate to say it, don't say it. Li Dazai is such a smart person, do you need me to say more? I know you want to talk about the Supreme Emperor." Zhao Huan said coldly, He looked at Li Gang and asked.

Li Gang felt the temperature in the hall a little bit, and said with a smile: "The official will not kill me. First, it is reluctant. Finding a prime minister is not so easy. Second, I feel that the official is also hesitant about this matter."

"The Supreme Emperor really cannot die."

"In the past, Yang Guang killed his father and brother, and he was infamous by Emperor Yang through the ages. The official family is my emperor who is not born in the Song Dynasty. The merits of the Northern Expedition Jin people are second to none. The official family should not abolish their own power because of trivial matters. Wise. Zhao Ji is not worthy of him."

Li Gang really dared to say anything, and directly mentioned Zhao Ji's name.

"This won't convince me." Zhao Huan shook his head. He didn't care about his reputation. Zhao Ji's survival meant that the conservative forces would not die. Zhao Huan didn't want his own people to perish, and the Song Dynasty to fall into the endless cycle of the past.

"Zhao Ji must die. If he doesn't die, my Great Song Dynasty has no future. I have made up my mind." Zhao Huan refused without hesitation to kill Zhao Ji because of his reputation.

What Song Dynasty needs is a thorough reform without any room for it.

And Zhao Ji is the representative of the old school. Only by physically eliminating him can the Song Dynasty have a future.

Li Gang shook his head and said, "Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong Wen of the former Tang Dynasty, only forced Gaozu Li Yuan to abdicate, and he was under house arrest in the palace. What kind of trouble can the Supreme Emperor, a useless man who has lost his power, make?"

"The government criticizes, the minds of the officials are unstable, the official family is not conducive to the government. The people of the Song Dynasty are also unstable, and the people all over the world regard the official family as the father of the emperor. The father of the emperor kills his father. "

"I ask the officials to think twice."

Zhao Huan still shook his head. Discussing historical figures out of any historical background cannot stand any ground.

Li Shimin's time was the beginning of the New Kingdom, and everything was flourishing. Li Shimin's literary and martial arts, what kind of waves can Li Yuan make?

This is the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, how can I continue to do things if I don't completely eliminate the old school?

"Officials, do you know the former Song Taizu Liu Yilong?" Li Gang said again.

Li Gang, wait a minute, isn't Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin?Is it too much for you to directly change Song Taizu's name and surname?

[Reminder of historical events: Liu Yilong: During the Southern and Northern Dynasties of China, the third emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, the temple name was Taizu, and the posthumous title was Emperor Wen.He devoted all his life to the Northern Expedition, intending to end the era of great division, but the Northern Expedition failed in his later years, which led to the depression of Liu Song's national strength. 】

[And Liu Yilong was also killed by the prince Liu Xun in 20 years, which opened the political chaos of the Liu Song Dynasty. The emperor changed frequently, and was finally replaced by the power minister Xiao Daocheng, and the Southern Qi was established. 】

Zhao Huan looked at Liu Song's information and felt great.

Liu Song was actually a dynasty founded by a poor family, and the only dynasty in Chinese history that was controlled by a poor family, and people like Xie Lingyun and Zu Chongzhi were all members of Liu Song.

In addition, "Shi Yu Xin Shuo" and "Hou Han Shu" were also written in the Liu and Song Dynasties.

Tsk tsk, amazing.

"Officials, Liu Xun killed his father and replaced them, the government collapsed, the emperor changed extremely frequently, and finally exhausted the last trace of luck, and this Liu Xun's later generations also called it the original evil Xun, the thief Xun, and the Ni Xun. Any former Song Dynasty History books have never recognized Liu Xun's throne."

"The notoriety of patricide is extremely rebellious. It has never been heard of before. Since the people were born, they have never heard of this disaster. Officials think twice." Li Gang bowed his head and said.

Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "I don't care what name the history books give me. I don't care. What I want is the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people, and the peace of the world. The people are rich and prosperous, and they get something from their hard work. It is enough to live and work in peace and contentment."

Li Gang seemed to have guessed what Zhao Huan was going to say, and said with a sad face: "The official family, Zhao Gou planned to stand on his own in the south, and the Supreme Emperor died, so Zhao Gou has the righteousness to avenge his father? It's a matter of giving someone a handle! Can't do it."

Zhao Huan pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "That makes sense."

Even if he is dissatisfied with what Zhao Ji has done in the past 26 years, he can't fight the collapse of Song's values ​​and physically eliminate Zhao Ji.

He, Zhao Ji, is really not worthy of dragging Da Song to be buried with him.
