Four hundred and ninetieth chapters true three envoys

But everyone remained silent.

Song Jiu's intention was not to entangle Han Dejun's power, but to his mentality after Han Dejun obtained such great power.

If you obtain such rights, no matter what kind of relationship he has with Xiao Yanyan, you will feel disgusted. Once Xiao Yanyan dies, the emperor of Liao will really recognize him, the inexplicable Han father? However, there is a way, that is, the disaster will go east.

Wars with the Song Dynasty from time to time, which attracted the attention of the two countries, so that they would not have any crisis with their descendants.

But this reason is a bit convincing.

Song Jiu continued to say next: "The second reason is Empress Xiao of Liao Kingdom."

"Why do you need Youzhou? There are Yanshan Mountains and the ancient Great Wall outside Youzhou. After a little repair, it becomes the best fortification. The country is in virtue but not in danger. However, Guanzhong with Tongguan is always different from Guanzhong without Tongguan. Therefore, during the Tang Dynasty, the Xi people and the Khitans could not go south, causing harm. Therefore, whenever the Turks invade, they dare not whip south too much to avoid the rear road being cut off. But look at the Khitans. Several major races, most of the Jurchens live in the depths of Liaodong, and there are still people who go north.

Some of the Shiwei people, but where the climate is colder and sparsely populated, will not form a powerful force for the time being. The southeast of Liao are the Bohai people and the Han people. The north of the Liao country are the Wugu people and the Nei Lie people. The west is the Tatars, the southwest is the Baidadan tribe, and the Jiashan area is the Han people, Tuyuhun people, Dangxiang people, as well as a small number of Khitan people and Tubo people. The Yanyun area in the south is mostly Han people. Only Yanshan has risen to the Shangjing area is the area where the Khitan people and the Xi people are concentrated."

"Comparing with combat effectiveness, the Khitans may not be stronger than the Jurchens. At least individual combat effectiveness is not as strong as those born in cold areas, but they are not the strongest race. The strongest race is in the northern part of the Khitan, and the various tribes of the Ugu enemy. However, the Khitans are integrated and the other parts are divided, and they are controlled by the Khitans. Once our dynasty obtains the Yanyun area, then with the internal governance of our dynasty and the history of the Han and Tang Dynasties, we can send troops outside the pass at any time, and the Khitans and the Xi people are the first to be affected. When it comes to that step, if you fail slightly, all races will no longer be controlled by them, and the northern tribes will be divided into pieces. The Liao Kingdom collapses!"

"So Xiao Yanyan launched attacks repeatedly, taking advantage of their own military advantage to drag our dynasty down, and even whip the south to attack Kaifeng. If Kaifeng falls, our dynasty will be divided into various forces. Like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the people of the Central Plains will be divided into several forces, and they have to worship Liao as the Supreme Emperor again, and Liao will rest assured."

There is another reason in history. That is Dangxiang.

Of course, Xiao Yanyan would not go deep into the army of mother and son for Dangxiang and put it in a dangerous place.

I have a little understanding of that battle.

At that time, the situation of the Liao team was very dangerous. However, the Song Dynasty sent envoys to the city to negotiate the alliance, and received a lot of annual monies and money. After gaining face, he took advantage of the situation to retreat.

In that battle, Xiao Yanyan and Liao Kingdom were not only because of money. It seemed that they were also heartbroken, and the annual monies were added. The alliance of Chanyuan was implemented. However, Liao Kingdom also needed the effect, and the Song Dynasty did not dare to have any ideas about Yan Yun for the time being.

With the peace of the border, Yanyun prospered, and more people from the Liao Kingdom did not want to invade the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, the so-called peace is actually achieved.

"After several years of governance, the Liao Kingdom gradually became rich, people's hearts returned to peace, conquered Goryeo, and pacified various rebellions, the army was always tempered. The Liao Kingdom had the ability to launch several large-scale attacks. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has worked diligently. Xiao Yanyan was worried that a richer and stronger dynasty would stand in the south. However, His Majesty was different from the two emperors, Taizu, Taizong, and was good at internal governance and short of military affairs, so she was also eager to kill the development of our dynasty in its infancy."

"Of course, this is a speculation from me. I have to look down if this is the case."

The Political Affairs Hall was silent.

Lu Mengzheng did not work with Song Jiu. Although Kou Zhun had worked with him, he was the only one who was the only one who could not think deeply about it.

However, Zhang Qixian, Xiang Minzhong, and Wang Xian both worked with Song Jiu in the Western Prefecture as subordinates, and even said that they benefited a lot.

Not only them, but also influenced Shi Pu. Although Shi Pu was able to fight in history, he was greedy and greedy for money and achievements. However, under the guidance of Song Jiu, these defects were not serious.

Song Jiuyan has few things, not like Tian Xi and others who have big mouths and sprayed all day long, and even disliked the strong tone to attack current affairs, which made Lu Mengzheng and Kou Zhun feel a little ashamed.

However, Zhang Qixian and the others would not think so. The more they know, the more they feel Song Jiu's "terrible".

In fact, Zhao Heng was also recalling a scene in his head. He was still young at that time and his father was angry. This Xiaojiu said good things may not be effective, but bad things will definitely happen.

He asked from the side, Song Jiu cursed me?

Yuankan, this is not a curse, but a worry for the country.

Why did the father get angry?

It’s not that you’re angry... Alas, you will understand when you grow up.

Now Zhao Heng understands.

He looked at Song Jiu worriedly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. If this is the case, it will be a great opportunity, a good opportunity to regain Yan Yun!"

At this moment, Song Jiu's eyes were full of murderous aura.

No matter what, the cruel behavior of the Liao Kingdom in the north angered him.

...

Song Jiu carefully looked at Sansi’s accounts.

The strangest scene in Chinese history books is that it records the deliberately neglecting logistics during war.

The reason is simple. When you write the logistics, you will encounter a word, money!

If you really don’t even want to mention the word “money”, that would be a good thing. In fact, more than 90% of the officials who have been in exchange for ancient and modern times are more greedy than the other!

"A hypocritical culture."

Can you do good things without money?

Therefore, Zhao Heng asked him where to come out, and Song Jiu said, "I'll go to the Sansi to take a look first."

But his character destined that he could not become a fighter in his life, nor could he be the same as Kou Zhun. The advantage is that he would not offend many people, and might make him rich throughout his life. The disadvantage is that even with the golden finger, he would not launch strong reforms, and even the innovation he presided over still has many disadvantages.

However, his role cannot be ignored.

Just like these accounts in his hands.

The total iron volume of course last year reached more than 39 million kilograms, which is the iron volume, which is the weight of the iron handed over by the imperial court. The actual total output of the country may be three times and four times that of it. The output of 80,000 tons of steel may not be anything in later generations, but it has immense significance in this era. Therefore, in recent years, the iron price has not only not risen with the price, but has slightly fallen. Of course, Song Jiu is still not very satisfied. It is too expensive. A better iron pound costs twenty cents. A ton of good ripe iron means it costs more than 34,000 cents. The actual price must drop to at least below ten cents before we can usher in the steel era!

However, although the price of iron cannot satisfy him, the quality of iron is not comparable to the quality of steel in the past.

There is also copper that changes.

The copper course volume last year was more than 25 million jin. Because copper was used as money, the proportion of course volume was slightly higher, but the actual output would not be less than 60 million jin. Of course, the copper output of more than 30,000 tons was still very low. However, it was far better than the copper output of the Song Dynasty in another time and space.

This brought the amount of minted coins to nearly nine million coins last year.

Since he went to Jiangzhou to propose to smel up copper coins, until now, the total amount of minting has almost reached more than 140 million coins. In addition, due to the development of overseas trade and the stimulus of export policies, countless gold and silver have been brought back. The increase in these currencies and quasi-currencies has made the court safe and boldly issue more than 70 million coins of smelted Jiaozi.

It could not meet the demand for the Song Dynasty's currency, but Song Jiu repeatedly warned Jiaozi not to be issued in a flood, and the ones that have been issuing small-value Jiaozi.

However, these changes have led to further prosperity of the market economy.

As well as the reforms during Zhao Heng's rule, and of course, before the Xianping Governance, Zhao Kuangyi stopped the war in his later years, and the whole country was able to rest and rest, laying the foundation for the Xianping Governance.

This led to a result that the country's income increased sharply.

In recent years, the income has reached more than 100 million yuan, and the value is very high, equivalent to nearly 100 million yuan. The year before yesterday, Zhao Kuangyi died and Zhao Heng ascended the throne, which was to reward the world. However, in that year, the income of the three departments still generated a large amount of surplus.

Even though the Liao Kingdom invaded last year and the country used its troops, it still had a surplus. This year is very sad, but it seems that it can be at least stable. Especially in the previous year, the national surplus reached more than 30 million yuan.

No wonder Chen Shu didn't dare to show the account book to Zhao Heng.

This does not include the millions of dollars in profits that the warehouse may generate in a year.

But I still have to thank Song Jiu. These surpluses, including money and various materials, will cause losses and greed when stored. Chen Shu then put gold, silver and copper coins into the banking department, and then sold some valuables in exchange for cash, and still put them in the banking department. Not only did they save storage and waste expenses, they also received a considerable amount of interest every year. At the same time, the money continued to circulate in the market, further prospering the Song Dynasty's economy.

In nearly seven years, the surplus of Sansi has almost reached 110 million!

Song Jiu couldn't help but exclaim: "It's the True Three Messenger."

Chen Shu blushed a little: "Duke Song, I dare not take it. I actually have to thank Duke Song for the changes brought about by the changes."

"Zhongyan, I am just a proposer. If you don't have your business, then come this considerable surplus?"

Song Jiu said in an extremely respectful tone.

The country is actually just a big shot. Five things are necessary for a small family. The country is the same. The fiscal shortage will immediately become chaotic. And this is a super surplus achieved under the premise of not being harsh on the people.

Yes, he built a foundation, and even thanked Zhao Kuangyi for the foundation. In fact, since the rebellion of Bashu was over, the three officials began to make a surplus.

But without Chen Shu, you may not be able to hold on, let alone expand this surplus.
