Chapter 1,703 Court Meeting

Su You was not satisfied with himself and proposed another solution, which was to first give Liao a small iron factory with a daily output of 5,000 kilograms, so that the craftsmen of Liao could become familiar with the operation of the iron factory and train their team; second, they could invest in it.

Small things can produce quick results. Even if the reserves are not enough for a large factory, it is still no problem to support a small factory.

Several envoys couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief and came to the front room to explain to them. Now, Whisola Ridge can only supply a small iron factory of about this size.

But this is something outside the contract. Su You mentioned the price issue again. This small iron factory also needs to pay money, and it is indispensable, five hundred thousand yuan.

The production capacity of the iron factory that produces 100,000 kilograms per day is 3.5 million guan, and the production capacity of the iron factory that produces 5,000 kilograms per day is reduced to one-twentieth, but the price is one-seventh of that of the big manufacturers. Su You will take advantage of this.

The bones of the Liao people arrived.

Su You knew that Wang Jing still had 3.5 million imported money collected from the southern states and used iron factory bonds to offset it, so of course he wanted to open his mouth.

Of course the envoys wanted to make a fuss, but Su You said I can't help you if you make a fuss. Although the cost of this thing is not high, it is heavy. The previous two factories were transported by warships of the Beiyang Navy, risking the weather.

Due to the great relationship, the shipping fee will be reduced for you through the Navy's maritime training program.

Now that the north wind is blowing hard, our Song Dynasty has entered a busy shipping period again. The Beiyang Navy escorted merchant ships from Korea, Japan and Song Dynasty southward.

How about you send a ship to pull us? Or you go find the merchants from Zhangzi Island? Or else, wait for the Beiyang Navy to come back?

If it really doesn't work, you can spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy the blueprints and build it yourself, and I, the Song Dynasty, will just ignore it, okay?

Of course not. The Liao Kingdom's current demand for steel is too urgent. It would take several years for a minister to build a pirated clock. Daliao cannot afford to wait.

Several envoys sent their men out for a round of inspection, and when they came back, they were so scared that they pissed themselves. The merchants were even more sinister, and the shipping fee was 450,000 guan!

People are not happy about this!

It would be cost-effective to haul some iron lumps to the Liao Kingdom, but the return journey would be empty. Where could it be more cost-effective to go to Nanyang with a favorable wind, haul porcelain and silk there, and come back to haul spice treasures?

From this point of view, Situ was very reasonable. This small iron factory really did not make much money from the Liao Kingdom.

But that’s how the Liao people are. You have no point, but I’m going to make a fuss. In the end, Suyou once again made major concessions and stopped adding grain. How can it be counted as a package of additional trade contracts?

I heard that there is a severe drought in the northwest of Liao Kingdom. I think it’s time to buy relief food again, right?

Wait, why do you say again?

Food consists of stick dregs and stick noodles. There is a lot of inventory piled up in the East and West Hebei No. 4 warehouses, and they are eager to find sales.

After Wang Jing learned about it, he sent a horse over to ask several envoys to finalize the trade. Agree! Especially the stick noodles, as much as you want, but you must go to sea trade and work with a small iron factory!

Of course, we have to take the sea route, so that we can pass through Jinzhou on the Liao River.

The war came, the price of iodine soared, and his winery was still waiting for rice to be ready!

In the end, the Liao people agreed to pay 500,000 yuan of imported money to buy a small iron factory, and then purchased 400,000 shi of grain at a price of 80 coppers per dou, that is, 800 yuan per shi.

Three and a half million guan of imported money was taken away by Su You in the blink of an eye, 820,000 guan.

Wang Jingyin was so desperate that he raised 1 million yuan for military expenses for Yelu Hongji. In fact, he also used this imported money. Now, more than half of the hard currency in his hands is gone.

However, Yelu Hongji believed that Wang Jingtong's Shoes was indeed a capable minister with a far-sighted vision. If it had not been for the issuance of national bonds in advance, the Tatars' violent attack would have been almost difficult to resist.

With the merit of rescuing people, he added Wang Jingping Zhang to important military and state affairs, and became the Duke of Yan.

…

The great court meeting in the eighth year of Yuanfeng was more lively than ever before. The young emperor had grown up and was getting married, and he showed more and more heroic demeanor. The court was tidy, benevolent policies were repeated, the world praised it, and all nations came to congratulate him.

The New Year's edict was still written by Su Shi. After Gao Taotao and Su Shi told him clearly that he could not be a prime minister, they promoted him to the position of Minister of Rites.

As they get older, they need the company of old friends with whom they can talk about something in common. After the ceremony in the southern suburbs, Feng Jing and Su Song were also kept by Gao Taotao, promising to meet once in five days, but most of their chats were about old affairs from the previous dynasty.

According to the memorial from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the economic situation is still quite good.

There is no doubt Zhang Kai’s contribution to this.

An army of 300,000 marched eight thousand miles westward, destroyed two countries and surrendered one. The imperial court did not spend any more money and only relied on the Ningxia Three Routes to provide logistics, and they actually took it.

This one can make a lot of money!

Su Yuanzhen successfully completed his mission, and the imperial court issued an edict ordering him to return to the court and serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Cai Jing, the former Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was also promoted to Minister of Finance for his merits in making adjustments and relieving the world's accumulated debts.

Liu Zhi, the former servant of the sect, went to Guangzhou to serve as the transit envoy of Guangnan East Road.

In another time and space, Liu Zhi was the leader of the "Shuo Party" faction in the old party, competing against Su Shi, the leader of the "Shu Party", and Cheng Yi, the leader of the "Luo Party".

The three parties continued to fight, and were finally overturned by the New Party.

In this time and space, the three parties also exist, but they have turned into another way of struggle. And because Gao Tao Tao followed the strategy of using all three factions, the three parties, as one of the three factions, under the infiltration and influence of Su You,

Political evil has no chance to bloom.

However, politics always requires balance. Now that Cheng Yi of the Luo Party has succeeded in his official position and Su Shi of the Shu Party has advanced, it is natural that Liu Zhi of the Shuo Party should be adjusted.

Before leaving, Liu Zhi did one last big favor for Gao Taotao and Zhao Xu and invited himself to Guangzhou.

Regarding the disposal plan for Xing Shu and Cai Que, the DPRK and China have recently issued a plan. According to the system, the two have reached the deadline for transfer.

In Gao Taotao's heart, he wished that the two of them would die tomorrow, but the system was the system.

Liu Zhi invited himself to Guangzhou. From another aspect, that is to say, Xinzhou, where Cai Que and Xing Shu are now located, is not a place of death. It is a place of exile, which immediately blocked the mouths of the courtiers.

Qiao Zhizhong, a member of the Zhongshu family, wrote: "The torture chamber was sent to the Ministry of Punishment to report Xing Shu as an official. According to Shu, he rushed to power, sang drums and shook fans, and made friends with Cai Que, hoping that he would be useful again. Fortunately, the imperial court deposed him and demoted him to prison. Today,

If Lairuosui is reinstated, for fear of suspicion at home and abroad, it is difficult to put the prefixes of all the words into cursive form."

Finally, Gao Taotao ordered Cai Que to relocate to Yuezhou, while Xing Shu waited for the first phase of the order.

There were many new faces at this court meeting.

The most important among them is the chief minister of Southwest Wubo.

After changing their plans and returning home, the five major clans of Southwest Long, Zhang, Cheng, Luo and Wei were completely subdued after they easily captured and killed Luo Qianyu, a barbarian of the Luo clan, in Kumamoto.

In response to his obedience, the imperial court specially gifted him with books and summoned his children to study in Tokyo. This time, he sent his children to school.

There are Japanese Ezo people.

Several large islands in Japan today are very similar to when Zhang Daoling first came to Sichuan to spread the Tao of Heavenly Masters.

Master Zhang achieved enlightenment by slaying ghosts in Mount Qingcheng. Today, northern Japan is also full of demons and monsters.

Zhang Sidao held high the banner of his ancestor, a sword, a talisman, a few scriptures, and a basket of elixirs on his back, and wandered around the villages and counties in the north, spreading the teachings and ordering the people to join the religion with five measures of rice and set up a government to protect themselves.

At the same time, he killed demons and monsters along the way, practiced medicine and cured diseases, recruited believers, spread culture, and won the hearts of the people.

Even Taira Masamori, whom the Emperor relied on as his right-hand man, was intimidated by his cousin's divine power. He had been conquering the two northern islands for many years, but now he was being made obedient by his cousin.

This year, Zhang Sidao specially sent several senior leaders to Bianjing to let them see the prosperity and pay homage to the founder.

North Korea is also very active in paying tribute this year. After the Nüzhi people became stronger, they fought several battles with Goryeo. Wang Yong relied on the Great Wall of Goryeo to fight a match with Nüzhi. He became the protector of Goryeo and became more and more powerful in the court.

The situation in the Liao Dynasty has undergone major changes recently. As a little bitch of China, Goryeo immediately came to the Song Dynasty to inform the news. By the way, I would like to ask how the Song Dynasty is going to deal with it and whether it needs Goryeo's cooperation.

Moreover, Goryeo also unearthed a huge treasure this year, and Pidianpian came to claim credit from the Song Dynasty.

The ancestor of Chinese medicine, the Huangdi Neijing, is divided into nine volumes each, Suwen and Lingshu.

Since the Han Dynasty, there have been many versions of the Lingshu Jing with different names but the same book, such as the Nine Volumes, the Needle Classic, the Nine Spirits, and the Nine Ruins.

The Tang Dynasty once gifted this book to Goryeo, and while China was experiencing wars and wars, "Suwen" was still intact. However, by the early Song Dynasty, the various versions of "Lingshu" were all fragments and could not be pieced together.

!

This year, the nine-volume "Lingshu" named "The Yellow Emperor's Acupuncture Sutra" was rediscovered in Korea!

So at this court meeting, Goryeo showed off its face. Zhao Xu announced that the Song Dynasty official would publish the full text of "The Acupuncture Classic" and ordered the Royal Medical College to study it carefully. At the same time, Goryeo was given a great medical book "Emperor Song Yuanyou Medical Code" as a reward.

.

The people who came to pay tribute this time were also Ryukyu people. Ryukyu became a place of exile for prisoners of the Song Dynasty, but this does not mean that the Ryukyu people disliked them.

There are also many craftsmen and literati among the prisoners, some of whom are very powerful.

Today's Ryukyu Island is still a village and tribe. Although there were occasional tributes in the past, it is not considered a serious country. After the maritime prosperity of the Song Dynasty, it was naturally regarded as territory.

Ryukyu is now a huge rubber and borneol base, and is also very important to the Song Dynasty. This year, the imperial court established the Ryukyu Protectorate to manage the population on that land.

As a political achievement, the Duhu Mansion sent several indigenous people with special status as scholars to show that the Dehua of the Song Dynasty had benefited Ryukyu.

In addition, the scholars complained that some unscrupulous person called their hometown "Island of Prisoners" and asked the court to correct the name and not allow discrimination.

In addition, because Zhang Kai opened the Western Region and had contact with more western countries, the envoys this time also included envoys from Dashi, Ma Liba, and Fulin.

The Great Food State was actually the Seljuk Empire.

Maliba is the place in northern India that produces horses with ears as big as their hearts.
