After Xing Shu took a deep breath, he respectfully asked: "Your Majesty, if Beilu jumps over the wall in a hurry..."

Xing Shu was naturally a little afraid of the Liao Kingdom.

There is no way, the Liao Kingdom is still very powerful now.

At least on paper, it looks down upon all the countries in the world and beats everyone in the world!

The palace tent troops alone can pull out almost 100,000 cavalry.

Like the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom also had a forbidden army that directly obeyed the orders of the Liao Lord himself - the Pishi Army.

In addition, there are tribal armies, national armies and Jingzhou armies as reserve supplements.

Carrying a million armors may be an exaggeration, but controlling hundreds of thousands of strings is a real deal.

In terms of data on paper, no one in the world today can beat the Liao Kingdom.

Such a powerful empire stretched across the land of Youyan, overlooking Hebei and Hedong of the Song Dynasty, threatening Bianjing.

Everyone is nervous, scared, and fearful...

Zhao Xu looked at Xing Shu and nodded, saying: "This is indeed a problem."

"But in the short term, it won't be a problem."

Xing Shu understood. The officials only needed a short period of time, as long as there were no problems with Song and Liao Jiaozi!

As long as this time passed, the Northern captives would no longer be a problem for the Song Dynasty.

"Why are the officials so confident?" Xing Shu lowered his head and thought.

The Zhao officials are very confident in many aspects.

It can even be said that self-confidence is inflated.

For example, the operation of giving formation diagrams to generals was unprecedented, but it was something that the Zhao officials took great pleasure in doing.

However, when facing the Northern invaders, officials of all generations after Taizong would be afraid.

But this official didn't seem to have the slightest fear of Beibei.

On the contrary, I was very excited.

It was as if Beilu's army, which commanded hundreds of thousands of soldiers, was just like paper and not worth mentioning.

Why?

Xing Shu didn't know clearly, but the official's confidence gave him confidence.

So, he whispered: "If this is the case, then I will understand."

As long as the officials don't have any problems with the Liao Kingdom in the short term?

That would be easy to handle.

"I am willing to die for the officialdom!" Xing Shu said with excitement.

Subvert Beilu!

Just this thought made him excited.

What's more, let him participate in it personally?

This is a great achievement that neither Zhang Yi nor Su Qin has accomplished.

Once he succeeds, he and his uncle are destined to be immortal.

Even if it fails, it will be infamy for thousands of years.

Zhao Xu looked at Xing Shu and nodded gently: "Just go ahead and do it."

"There is already a vacancy in the Bachelor's College. I thought about putting Shiren's name on the list of candidates for bachelor's degree. However, Shiren's academic name still needs experience and experience."

"Write more poems this year." Zhao Xu reminded Xing Shu.

The Bachelor's College is the epitome of culture and the island of Yingzhou for literary men.

All literary people are proud to be admitted to a bachelor's college.

Naturally, the Academy of Sciences also has very high requirements for Hanlin bachelors.

At the very least, articles, poems, and poems must be chosen at the moment.

Don’t seek to reach the level of Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, and Wang Anshi.

You have to be on Feng Jing’s level after all, right?

"No!" Xing Shu nodded happily.

He naturally wanted to be a Hanlin bachelor.

Zhao Xu looked at him and said with a smile: "Shiren's poems and articles must be orthodox and don't write about romantic affairs."

Liu Yong, how famous is Yan Jidao?

But they never expect to make any progress in their lives.

It's not just a matter of character, it's also that their reputations are too colorful.

"I understand." Xing Shu naturally understands this.

"That's good!" Zhao Xu nodded.

Zhao Xu would not doubt the level of Xing Shu's writing and poetry.

This man was able to debate the meaning of scriptures with Wang Yu, and also chat and laugh with Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others.

As for articles and poems, as long as he puts his heart into it, he will definitely be able to write a few good ones.

Of course - if you want to be on par with literary giants like Su Shi, Wang Anshi, and Ouyang Xiu, it is just a dream.

…

After sending Xing Shu away, Zhao Xu still stayed in the side hall of the East Pavilion.

He leaned on the mattress, half-closed his eyes, thinking about things.

"As for the Liao Kingdom, there will be no problems in three to five years, or even seven or eight years." He thought in his mind.

This is a natural thing.

Jiaozi of Song and Liao Dynasties is now in a very delicate state.

The people of Liao were overjoyed and couldn't believe it, so they started shopping aggressively after getting the jiaozi.

What about Da Song?

Although the ministers in the court felt that something was wrong.

But you just can't tell what's wrong?

After all, the annual coins given to the Liao Kingdom were actually saved.

This expenditure became Jiaozi.

But the Liao people bought all luxury goods with Jiaozi.

Merchants took Jiaozi and used it as coins, or exchanged Jiaozi for copper coins, silver, and gold.

But the copper coin reserve in Jiaoziwu was actually only three to five million coins.

Moreover, Jiao Ziwu's copper coin reserve has never been reduced.

On the contrary, it is slowly increasing - because Jiaozi is very popular, many merchants are using it and circulating it, which makes the currency value of Jiaozi strong.

The Song Dynasty seemed to be operating Jiaozi at no cost.

The court may even have made some money.

In this process, the only ones who suffered seemed to be the merchants.

But these merchants happily supported Song and Liao Jiaozi.

If you ask the merchants, they probably won't be able to explain why?

I can only give the answer: it is convenient to pay and can be redeemed at any time.

Going a little deeper, maybe they would quietly tell the person who asked them that the Song-Liao Trade Jiaozi was a thing issued by the Song Dynasty based on the Beilu Sui coins. It was recognized by the officials and the Beilu Emperor.

You can both pay taxes and trade.

If so, why not hold it?

"If everything goes well, starting next year, the Liao people will tentatively transfer gold and silver to the Song Dynasty."

Gold and silver are actually rare metals to the Liao people.

At most, it can be used as the equivalent of transactions between nobles.

For the Liao people, taking so much gold and silver was of little use.

People don’t need it in their daily lives!

At this time, Jiaozi on the Song Dynasty will become a very good thing.
