Gao Taiming looked at the finely crafted jasper lamp in front of him.

Then he looked again, sitting on the pavilion, looking down at his little emperor.

He was not quite sure of the other party's true attitude, so he asked cautiously: "Foreign ministers are bold, please tell me how much jade the Song Dynasty needs?"

Zhao Xu laughed: "In this business, of course, the more, the better."

Having said this, Zhao Xu raised his head slightly and said with great confidence and pride: "My Song Dynasty is rich all over the world, and my wealth is countless!"

He has the image of a wealthy man with a lot of money and stupidity.

This made Gao Taiming a little confused.

What on earth is this little emperor of Song Ting going to do?

What is his intention?

But there is one thing that Gao Taiming is extremely convinced of - this is Song Ting's wealth, which is known to the whole world.

It is no exaggeration to say that if one hair was plucked from the giant Song Dynasty, it would be enough for the whole country of Dali to enjoy for several years.

Therefore, if Song Ting really only wants jade, then Song Ting does have this appetite and can buy all the jade in Dali and Bagan.

So, he tentatively said: "Foreign ministers are brave, I wonder how much money your majesty is willing to give to the country to buy this jade?"

Zhao Xu subconsciously rubbed his hands, then narrowed his eyes.

"Gao Qing, please get up and speak!" Even his voice became extremely affectionate.

Gao Taiming was a little confused, but he still stood up tremblingly.

Then, he heard the little emperor's voice: "Feng Jing, give Gao Aiqing a seat and tea."

"promise!"

Someone came and brought a chair behind him, and brought a cup of boiled tea.

"Gao Qing, please drink tea first." Zhao Xu rubbed his little hand: "This is the new imperial tea produced by Beiyuan Tea Garden in Jianzhou this year. It has a rich fragrance and a mellow taste, which is not something ordinary people can taste."

Does Gao Taiming have any thoughts about drinking tea?

He picked up the tea cup, took a casual sip, and then put it down.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu smiled and said: "Just now, Qing Gao mentioned the price. I will discuss this matter with you, and I will definitely not disappoint you and Dali."

Negotiating prices is naturally left to the people below.

Zhao Xu is the emperor, and what the emperor has to do is to steer the ship.

Strategically determine the general direction, and then find ways to guide a department or the entire country to develop in this direction.

Other things are not his responsibility or his responsibility.

Gao Taiming was stunned for a moment, then listened to Zhao Xu: "What I want to discuss with Gao Qing is how to deliver the goods."

Gao Taiming raised his head.

"Have you ever heard of Gao Qing's current trading methods between Song and Liao?"

Gao Taiming nodded. The Song-Liao Jiaozi trade was the most shocking information he had learned this time when he came to Bianjing.

The Song Dynasty used the annual coins that were supposed to be paid to the Liao people as reserves and issued Jiaozi.

So, like magic, three million strings of jiaozi were conjured out of thin air.

As a result, trade between the two countries has surged.

This matter has touched the hearts of many people.

After all, who wouldn’t want to pluck Song Ting’s wool?

Is it possible?

Gao Taiming's heart skipped a beat, and soon his excitement was suppressed by reason.

Dali is just a small country. How can it be worthy of being treated like Liao?

When you are polite, you must ask for something from others.

A big country treats a small country with courtesy and offers seemingly extremely favorable conditions.

For small countries, this is most likely not a blessing, but a disaster.

The most typical example - Fake Taoism!

The kings and ministers of the Jin State bribed the Yu State with BMWs and beautiful jade to use the road to attack Guo.

As a result, on the way back, the Yu Kingdom was wiped out.

The BMWs and beautiful jade sent out returned to the hands of the Jin State again.

Although Dali is located in a corner, Gao Taiming, as the next generation heir to the Gao family, is naturally familiar with history books.

But he didn't have the courage to refuse face to face, so he could only say cautiously: "What is your Majesty's intention?"

"I plan to learn from the Jiaozi trade system of Song and Liao Dynasties..."

This year's Jiaozi trade volume between Song and Liao has almost been completed.

Yes, in just a few months, people from the Liao Dynasty came to Bianjing three times.

Every time it was a big purchase, Yeluju came here this time and put in an order that had already spent all the quota for this year.

The greed and extravagance of the Liao people are amazing.

The corruption therein is even more shocking.

But in any case, the Song and Liao Jiaozi trade provided the market with financial lubrication of 3 million yuan.

At the same time, it also greatly improved the level of economic and trade exchanges between Song and Liao.

The Song Dynasty was satisfied and the Liao people were happy.

Win-win!

Therefore, Zhao Xu can already start trying to expand the circulation of Jiaozi.

Relying on the Liao Kingdom, Jiaozi's distribution space is still limited.

But Zhao Xu didn't want to give up to Xixia, so he had to find ways to expand new markets.

Dali is pretty good.

Nowadays, Yunnan horses are a resource that the Song Dynasty needs very much.

However, the tea-horse trade was very cumbersome and the scale of the trade was always limited.

The trade volume of only a few thousand Yunnan horses a year was unable to satisfy the appetite of the Song Dynasty.

It is necessary to find new market pain points, directly address the core needs of users, open up key nodes, and create a new ecosystem.

However, looking at Gao Taiming's expression, Zhao Xu also reacted.

So, he said softly: "You don't have to worry, I'm giving Dali a choice based on Jiaozi trade."

"Dali can choose to ship back copper coins, silk, tea leaves after each trade ends..."

"You can also choose to convert it into copper coins. I will order a secretary to print a Dali Jiaozi specifically for Dali."

"Merchant from your country, with this communication, can purchase the necessary commodities in the Great Song Dynasty Market."

This is another attempt to pluck out the wool of a modern country that has disintegrated.

An original simplified version of the ruble accounting system featured by the Economic Cooperation Council.

All transactions will only occur in designated markets.

The trade between the two countries is also settled at the market.

Of course, this was just a way to reassure Dali.

After they adapt, they can take advantage of the situation and launch Jiaozi that can circulate freely.

In this way, Jiaozi from the Song Dynasty could enter Dali.

Then, there is no need to elaborate on the story that happened.

Gao Taiming swallowed, obviously tempted.

Because this agreement or treaty is like pie in the sky for Gao!

Because, in this way, the Gao family would have the opportunity and possibility to dominate the trade with Song Ting.

He even used this power to, in turn, coerce the opposition forces in the country.

only……

Gao Taiming still felt a little worried and hesitant.

At this time, Zhao Xu put a weight on the scale that was enough for him to ignore any danger.

"If this matter can be accomplished, I will order someone to select eminent monks in the Song Dynasty and go to Dali to teach the Dharma."

"At the same time, I can also accept some Dali monks to come to the court to seek and study the Dharma."

Dali State takes Buddhism as its state religion.

The status of monks is extremely high, and all the kings of the Duan family have become monks in every dynasty.

However, the level of monks in Dali country can only be described in words!

In the field of religion, they are now unable to compete with Theravada Buddhism in Bagan, nor with the rising Red Sect and Kadam Sect in Uszang on the plateau.

Therefore, I can only shrink my head and act like a turtle.

But if we can invite eminent monks from the Song Dynasty to come to Dali to teach and spread the Dharma.
