Consumption of this kind of thing is addictive.

Especially, when the money is not a physical thing, or even something that is not in your hands.

Very few people can control their desires.

The emperor was even more difficult to control.

Wang Shiru hesitated for a moment, and then admonished: "Your Majesty, frugality should be the top priority for the country's needs!"

"If two million dollars were spent all of a sudden..."

At this time, Yelu Hongji had drunk several cups of Tianxian drunkenness, and he was a little drunk.

Listening to Wang Shiru's advice, he laughed and said, "Bachelor, just follow my wishes and draft the national certificate!"

"It's rare for me to be happy, and it's rare for the country to be happy."

Wang Shiru wanted to persuade him again, but Yelu Hongji glared at him: "Scholar, do you think that my Daliao has to save even a mere million pounds of goods?"

"I am rich all over the world and own the world!"

"No big deal, we'll talk to Nanchao next year..."

"Deal fairly with them!"

"Use gold and silver in exchange for their friendship!"

One tael of silver, the price given by the Southern Dynasty, is equivalent to three guan of copper coins.

If you exchange it for a jiaozi, it’s six dollars!

Although Yelu Hongji still doesn’t understand how this magic works?

But if he eats meat, does he still have to ask the chef how to cook it?

Yelu Hongji now only knows that one tael of silver can be exchanged for six guan of money.

The Liao Kingdom earned hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year through silk trade and the exploitation of Bohai and straight women.

If you take half of it and go to the Southern Dynasties in exchange for exchange coins, you can at least get another one or two million coins.

What's more, the Liao Kingdom has the largest gold reserves in the world.

Gold is more expensive than silver!

I believe you can also get more Jiaozi.

Therefore, Yelu Hongji is not worried at all that he has no money to spend.

Just buy, buy, buy.

Because he discovered that no matter how he calculated it, he and Daliao would win in this matter!

And it’s a big win!

Through Jiaozi, Daliao could continuously obtain goods from the Southern Dynasties.

Through Jiaozi, he could get enough goods to bribe everyone in the country.

Even, through Jiaozi, he can greatly alleviate various problems currently encountered by the Liao Kingdom.

For example, the problem of farmers in the south courtyard and the problem of herdsmen in the north courtyard.

He can reduce the burden of these people to a certain extent through Jiaozi.

If that's the case, why are you hesitating?

As for gold and silver?

There is actually no use for that thing if he keeps it.

It would be better to take it to the Southern Dynasties in exchange for exchange coins and buy Southern Dynasty goods.

Wang Shiru listened to Yelu Hongji's words, looked at his face, lowered his head, sighed, bowed his hands and said: "I accept the decree!"

I just have some worries in my heart.

Daliao will probably not end well in the future if it continues to indulge in extravagance and indulge in luxury.

However, the extravagance that became common in Daliao is not new to today.

The Holy Sect Era has already begun.

By the time Emperor Xingzong was established, the situation was even worse.

Now that the emperor has ascended the throne, there is no cure.

Two generations of powerful ministers, Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Yixin, controlled the government and brought chaos to the country.

The root of this lies in His Majesty.

Therefore, he was helpless.

We can only place our hopes entirely on the emperor's grandson.

I can only hope that when the emperor's grandson grows up and ascends the throne, he can refresh politics and work hard to govern.

…

On this day, Yelu Hongji got extremely drunk.

Finally, he staggered and was helped by Queen Xiao Sitan to rest on the royal bed in the palace tent.

Other Liao nobles and ministers were even drunker than Yelu Hongji.

But the joy of the Liao Kingdom was beyond words.

No matter what, no matter what.

The Southern Dynasty's treasures worth one million dollars actually appeared in front of them.

And they are all fond of them, even cherish them.

The finest tea leaves, the finest jade lamps, precious silks and satins, and luxurious embroidery.

Rouge and gouache used by Bianjing people, jade and porcelain used by Bianjing people.

From now on, they can live the life of Bianjing in Shangjing and enjoy the enjoyment of Bianjing.

Everyone is happy.

Yelu Hongji was in bed, and he didn't know how long he had slept.

When I woke up, it was already dark and candles were lit in the tent.

He felt a little headache and a little dry mouth. So he shouted: "Tea, I want to drink tea!"

Immediately, a palace maid brought him tea and fed him to drink it.

After drinking a cup of tea, Yelu Hongji felt better.

So he asked: "What time is it?"

"It's three o'clock in the morning to report back to Your Majesty," the maid replied.

"Is it actually the third quarter of the hour?" Yelu Hongji murmured to himself.

At this time, Queen Xiao Sitan walked in.

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Sitan saluted, holding a memorial in her hand.

Yelu Hongji smiled and asked, "Is there something wrong, Queen?"

"Well!" Xiao Sitan walked to Yelu Hongji, sat down, and said to him: "The memorial I just received."

She sent the memorial to Yelu Hongji: "Zhang Xiaojie has passed away."

The queen of the Liao Kingdom had great real power.

A strong woman like Empress Dowager Chengtian can even be regarded as the founder of the current system of the Liao Kingdom.

Therefore, even now, the queen of Liao still has power almost equivalent to that of a deputy queen.

When the emperor was ill or unable to take charge of the government, it was the default rule of the Liao people to handle military and state affairs on behalf of the emperor.

Yelu Yanxi took the memorial from Xiao Sitan, read it once, and sighed: "Zhang Xiaojie has passed away."

There was a sense of nostalgia and even regret in his tone.

He recalled those years when Qiu Xie was in high spirits and Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie were by his side.

I also remembered the time when Yelu Yixin and Zhang Xiaojie served and assisted him.

So, he sighed again.

This person has passed away!

All merits and demerits are in vain.

Queen Xiao Sitan, who was sitting beside the royal couch, looked at Yelu Hongji's expression and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, how should we deal with this matter?"

Zhang Xiaojie was once considered by the Liao Kingdom to be Han Derang's second favorite.

At the same time, he was the most trusted and capable right-hand man of King Yelu Yixin of Wei.
