Chapter 1692 continued

"One thing needs to be explained clearly." Su You continued to speak righteously: "First of all, the Song Dynasty has been attacking everywhere in these years. This is just a phenomenon, not the essence."

"The essence is, is it right or wrong for the Song Dynasty to attack them? Is it justice or injustice? Do the local people welcome or oppose it? After the Song Dynasty intervened, did the lives of the people in those places get better or worse?

Has it gotten worse?”

"Conquests everywhere can only show that in recent years, the Song Dynasty has been surrounded by clowns and unscrupulous kings. It is not that the Song Dynasty wants to fight, but that the Song Dynasty, as a suzerain and civilized protector responsible for the people of the Tibetan vassal country, has to fulfill its obligations

responsibilities."

"One more thing, why did your envoy only mention our Song Dynasty's attacks in various places, but did not mention our Song Dynasty's selfless assistance to your dynasty?"

"When your dynasty encountered a locust drought, it was the Song Dynasty that helped your dynasty with food; when your dynasty encountered a plague, it was the Song Dynasty that helped your dynasty with medicine; when your dynasty suffered from floods, it was the Song Dynasty that helped your dynasty build water conservancy projects."

"Baita blocked divination, the southern states, Wanyan Nuzhi, how many lives did the Song Dynasty save for your dynasty over the years?"

"Liaoyang, Changchun, your dynasty's granary with an annual revenue of five million shi, how did it come about?"

"I am currently negotiating with the Prime Minister of your dynasty about the industrial base. Is this good or bad for your dynasty?"

"The Song Dynasty does not have to do these things, but as a responsible neighbor and a civilized protector, the Song Dynasty still has to perform its responsibilities."

"Song and Liao have been friendly neighbors for more than 80 years. The monarchs and ministers of the two countries have made great efforts to maintain this hard-won peace."

"I would like to declare once again that the Song Dynasty will always be a peace-loving country and will always resolutely defend civilization and maintain the integrity of the royal family."

"This is my destiny in the Song Dynasty."

"The Tatar and female straight issues are the internal affairs of your dynasty. The Song Dynasty will not interfere in your dynasty's internal affairs."

"But I would like to remind your dynasty not to incite hostility towards the Song Dynasty and promote the threat of the Song Dynasty when encountering internal worries in the country, in an attempt to transfer the worries abroad and pass them on to the innocent Song Dynasty in this way.

On the heads of the people of Song Dynasty."

"The Song Dynasty will never accept such a solution, and I believe that the people of your dynasty will also not accept such a solution."

"Because this will not solve any old problems except increasing the conflict between the two countries and causing new troubles and disasters for your country."

"What your country should do is face up to its domestic troubles and find practical solutions, instead of pretending not to be there, making trouble, or even turning into beggar-thy-neighbors."

"After several rounds of consultations, DaSong has now prepared the equipment and technology needed for this base and is about to start operations."

"If your dynasty decides to suspend this procurement plan, it will be your dynasty's loss, not the Song Dynasty's loss."

"Quanzi has been in Guangzhou several times, just hoping to have such a set of equipment. Landing it on Guangnan East Road for 3.5 million yuan is not a big deal to me, the Song Dynasty."

"If your dynasty is willing to voluntarily give up the base that produces 100,000 kilograms of steel a day, give up the ability to arm 30,000 people a day, or provide farm tools for 50,000 people, and is willing to go back to the nomadic fishing and hunting lifestyle, wearing animal skins, and riding naked horses,

,Similarly, the Song Dynasty will only respect your choice and will not interfere."

"But I want to remind your court, your clan, and Your Majesty that what you should consider is what kind of life the people want and how the court can let them live the life they want."

"Only in this way can the problem be truly solved, all people can return to their hearts, and the dynasty can last forever."

"If your court, clan, and Your Majesty only think about how to serve one person from the world, how to deplete the power of the country, raise a brutal army, and carry out plunder... What I want to tell your court is that Li Changjie once did this

He did it, but he failed; He Li also did it, and he also failed; Liang Zuo, the Empress Dowager Liang, Ali Gu, and Hassan all failed."

"History has given us the answer, and this is also my advice to Your Majesty."

"The Song Dynasty also experienced pain and setbacks, but now it has found the right path."

"You have your own national conditions, and there is no need to learn from the Song Dynasty's model. However, as a moral and responsible 'ruler', you must consider these things."

"As the saying goes, a crown must bear its weight. All I can say is... I wish your Majesty the best of luck to your country and your country."

After speaking, he sat down on the chair and said: "Domestic affairs are still busy. I can only stay on the island for three days at most. After three days, if your country is still willing to facilitate this agreement, I will make arrangements;"

"If it doesn't work, I will send the base equipment to Guangzhou. After all, it involves the interests of the clan members of our dynasty, and we cannot let them suffer losses in vain because of such changes."

After the Liao people retreated, Shi De's little eye flashed: "Situ's grand argument was so grand that the Liao people had nothing to say."

Su You smiled and said: "Actually, they have always had nothing to say. But in the past, when they had nothing to say, they would use their fists. But now, that method no longer works."

Zhao Zhongqian smiled and said: "You don't have to wait three days. That old boy Wang Jing will send the Liao people's plan tonight. This king is now as rich as the enemy. The wealth of the states in the south of the Liao Dynasty is rolling like a torrent."

Put it in his pocket."

"You still have it in your pocket, right?" Su You said with a smile: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, Jiyisi is not a place outside the law."

"Uh..." Zhao Zhongqian suddenly became speechless: "I just have a hand addiction. They all belong to His Majesty..."

Sure enough, Zhao Zhongqian received a tip from Wang Jing that night. Yelu Shensi was just pretending. The Liao Kingdom had now discovered a rich mine in their own country and it was impossible to abandon that base.

That place is located in the Anshan, Gongchangling, and Posuoling areas in the east of Liaoyang Prefecture. In addition to iron, it also has coal. It is also supported by Liaoyang's large granary and population. It has all the conditions for the establishment of an industrial base - resources, capital, and population.

The most important thing is that there is Wang Jing’s basic plan.

However, Yelu Shensi persisted for three days. On the evening of the third day, when Su You started to get up and leave, Yelu Shensi came to submit his credentials, expressing that the Liao Kingdom was willing to continue to maintain friendly relations with the Song Dynasty. This base, the Liao Dynasty

Still want it.

Su You was very happy and postponed the meeting one night to hold a cocktail reception on Zhangzi Island to receive the Liao envoys and arrange follow-up negotiations.

This reception was also attended by many wealthy businessmen on the island. Su You and Wang Jing jointly sent a message to the business community - relations between Song and Liao were business as usual, the industrial base continued to advance, and cooperation between the two parties continued to deepen.

The trend of eagle bonds, bonds, and treasure banknotes suddenly increased, while the trend of silk banknotes began to decline after experiencing a rush to rise.

Because it was still within the normal trend range, Wang Jing did not temporarily use imported money to adjust the currency value and allowed the silk banknotes to slide towards the normal exchange rate.

Countless merchants and gentry who took hedging measures lost more than 30% of their assets in this fluctuation in the market value of banknotes, and all fell into the white-glove banks of Wang Jing and Zhao Zhongqian.

The assets of dozens of southern states, although only part of them, were brought together in one place, amounting to a considerable amount of more than five million dollars.

Wang Jing had a bad heart to begin with, but when he saw the numbers on the account books, he was so excited that he almost became the first victim of the economic war between Song and Liao.

Zhao Liuhou is sincere and will not deceive me. If he says it is more than one million guan, it will be more than 1 million guan!

Zhao Zhongqian was also very considerate. He proposed one million guans of silk banknotes from the profit and gave 1 million guans of imported money to Wang Jing. This part should be regarded as earned income. It can be allocated reasonably and pocketed with peace of mind. This is enough for the prime minister.

Three generations of the family have nothing to worry about.

For the rest, let’s continue investing and strive to make two more profits!

Wang Jing thought that his style had improved and his horizons had broadened. Back then, he was pestering Zhao Liu about his suggestion to open an iodine factory, and now he blushes when he thinks about it.

At that time, Zhao Zhongqian said that setting up a winery meant that he and his own identity were lost, and he still did not understand what Zhao Zhongqian meant.
