Zhao Xu listened to the threats from the Liao envoy in the palace.

I thought to myself: "Are all Liao envoys this low now?"

"Could it be said that the Yelu Yixin Rebellion killed all the talented ministers of the Liao Kingdom?"

Where does such threats come from?

At that time, Xiao Xi cited scriptures and listed the facts, and then the Lord of Liao personally ordered to mobilize the army and display it at the border.

Only through civil attack and military intimidation did he finally succeed.

Now, you want to make me submissive just by opening your mouth? Ridiculous!

But...

Zhao Xu had been looking forward to the Liao envoy coming to the palace for a long time.

He has been preparing for today for a long time.

Naturally, it was not for the pleasure of quarreling with this Yeluju.

But to dig a hole for the Liao Kingdom!

So, Zhao Xu smiled and said: "How can your country be without money?"

"If the Emperor of Daliao is willing, I can help him..."

Yeluju was stunned.

After a while, he asked: "The foreign minister is stupid, please tell me clearly..."

His heart was beating loudly.

Could it be that the emperor of the Southern Dynasties was willing to increase the annual coins?!

Even the ministers in the palace and the two palaces inside the curtain also had strange movements at this time.

The Queen Mother even wanted to stand up to stop Zhao Xu from continuing.

Children, what do you know?!

But Empress Dowager Xiang held her back and said in a low voice: "My dear, don't worry, the officials and the bride have already said... they will never cause Sheji to suffer!"

The Queen Mother then sat down.

Seeing that there was no movement in the two palaces, the ministers reluctantly kept quiet.

But someone is already ready to wipe the young master's ass.

Then the young master in the palace said: "Song and Liao made a covenant, the Song Dynasty will pay the Liao Dynasty 200,000 taels of silver and 300,000 pieces of silk every year..."

"I have received a letter from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Over the years, most of your country's silk cloth has been used in the country, and most of its silver has been used to purchase items from our dynasty. I wonder if the envoy knows this?"

Yeluju said: "The foreign minister knows a thing or two..."

Daliao not only used all the silver in the annual coins to buy it.

Most of the silver and gold it produced was used to buy it in the Southern Dynasties.

There is no way, the nobles, officials and wealthy businessmen of the five capitals all like things from the Southern Dynasty.

Even in the palace, it is better to obtain things from the Southern Dynasties.

Especially after the art of tea ordering in the Southern Dynasties became popular in the Liao Dynasty, expensive tea cups and precious top-quality tea bricks became something that everyone in the Liao Kingdom was in hot demand for.

In addition, because Daliao occupies the trade route of the Silk Road, there is a large amount of silk business done every year.

Merchants from the Western Regions preferred silk woven from the Southern Dynasties, which was another huge expense!

"What does your Majesty mean?" Yeluju asked.

Zhao Xu smiled slightly and said, "Does your envoy know that I am a Jiaozi?"

Yeluju replied: "Foreign ministers know a thing or two..."

Zhao Xu looked at him, like a fisherman on a fishing platform who saw the float turn dark, and smiled brightly.

"The country of Song and Liao brothers is now a country of brothers that is short of money, so I will help you..."

"How about this……"

"If your country is willing, I will use the money and silk that I pay to Daliao every year as the principal, and order Jiaozi to make Jiaozi for the use of your country..."

Zhao Xu turned his head and looked at Wang Cun, the Minister of Household Affairs in the palace, and asked: "Wang Qing, what is the price of silver today? What is the price of silk?"

Wang Cunchi said: "Your Majesty, the price of silver in Bianjing today is that one tael of silver is equivalent to three guans of copper... As for the price of silk, there is not much difference..."

"Good!" Zhao Xu praised, stroking his palms.

However, Yeluju felt that his brain was a little overwhelmed.

He could only ask: "The foreign minister is so stupid that I hope your Majesty will make it clear..."

Zhao Xu smiled and replied: "Your Majesty, please don't be anxious, please listen to what I have to say as an envoy..."

"The Song Dynasty paid the Liao Dynasty 200,000 taels of silver every year, which can be converted into 600,000 guan of copper coins, and 300,000 pieces of silk cloth can be converted into 900,000 guan of copper coins. Adding the two together, the total is 1.5 million guan of copper coins!"

"Does your envoy have any objections?"

Yeluju thought for a while, then looked back at Wang Shiru, who shook his head.

So he said: "Your Majesty is wise, and the foreign ministers have no objections!"

That is indeed a very fair price, it can even be said to be a lot of premium!

Because the Liao Dynasty was short of copper, even more so than the Southern Dynasty!

One and a half million copper coins are worth at least one million taels of silver in Daliao!

Zhao Xu continued to smile and look at the fish.

"Good!" He said, stroking his palms: "I will convert the money that the Song Dynasty pays to the Liao Dynasty every year into 1.5 million yuan!"

"Then, use this as the principal, and order Jiaozi to issue and produce a batch of Jiaozi..."

"Based on 50% of the principal, you can get Jiaozi three million strings!"

Everyone in Yeluju was dumbfounded.

He was panting, breathing hard, and his eyes were red.

"Your Majesty, is this true?"

Zhao Xu smiled and nodded.

The magic of finance is so wonderful!

By this time, many ministers in the palace had come to their senses.

In particular, ministers familiar with the economy such as Han Jiang, Lu Gongzhu, and Zhang Dun have all settled down.

Because they all know that when the Song Dynasty issued Jiaozi, the principal was 35%.

There is a circulation of 1.26 million Guanjiaozi every year, but the principal is actually less than 400,000 Guanjiaozi.

Now, as soon as the young master opens his mouth, he will receive five gold coins.

This is treating the Liao people like monkeys!

Yeluju was now in a state of confusion.

Three million strings!

This is three million strings!

In Daliao, it can be equivalent to the purchasing power of two million taels of silver!

The combined annual taxes of the sixteen prefectures in the Yan region are probably not that much!

So, he had already got into the eyes of money and surrendered in front of Brother Kong Fang's magic power.

Three million copper coins, and three million copper coins every year.

He knew that if this were true, everyone in the government would be crazy with joy!

And he became a great hero of Daliao.

So, Yeluju asked tremblingly: "I don't know what your Majesty plans to do?"

Zhao Xu laughed, looked at the fish that had been caught in the net, and said: "It's very simple!"

"I ordered people in Bianjing to make three million strings of Jiaozi with the money that the Song Dynasty pays you every year as the principal!"

"It is for a period of three years and will be recovered at the end of the period..."

"However, when I issue and produce Jiaozi, I will draw thirty cents for each issue and thirty cents for recycling..."

"In other words, every time Jiaozi is issued, the Song Dynasty will draw 230,000 coins..."

Yeluju's mind is now filled with things about three million Guanjiaozi.

How can we care about this small amount of 230,000 yuan?

He immediately said: "Your Majesty's wishes, foreign ministers have no objection!"
