Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Your Highness, do you want this?"

"If it can be imitated vigorously, we will imitate part of it and exchange it for copper coins in Song Dynasty."

"This handover banknote is meticulously crafted and extraordinary, and it is even more difficult to imitate."

Wanyan Zongwang fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a while, he said, "You should pay close attention to the progress of handing over the money."

"Your Highness, if handing over banknotes becomes popular, our strategy of exhausting copper coins may have to be..."

"I know that it's too early to make a conclusion on this matter. There are some uncertainties in handing over the banknotes. Song Ting may play himself to death."

"Your Highness, the officials don't quite understand what you said."

"Why did the banknotes depreciate before?"

"Because the Song court issued a large number of banknotes, there were too many private banknotes."

"Why did Song Ting issue a large number of banknotes?"

"Because..." Liu Yanzong was stunned for a moment, and understood Zongwang's meaning, "Your Highness means that Song Ting will definitely lose control of himself, causing a large number of handovers, and repeating the same mistakes."

Wanyan Zongwang sighed, and said, "No one can resist this kind of temptation. Think about it, who can control the money that comes from turning the money printing machine?"

At this time, a voice came from outside: "Your Highness, Gao Qingyi is here."

Gao Qingyi?

Isn't he one of Zong Han's men?

Zong Wang immediately said, "Let him in."

As soon as Gao Qingyi came in, he said politely, "See Your Highness the Second Highness."

"Why did you come to Yanjing?"

"Guo Lun Bo Ji Lie sent officials to Yanjing to take stock of the food and grass to be collected in the west. I don't know if His Highness is ready."

"Fifty thousand stones have been prepared."

"Your Highness, please arrange for someone to take the officials to check."

"Liu Pushe, you go with him to check."

"Yes."

When the two walked to the door, Gao Qingyi suddenly said, "Your Highness, the marshal will come to Yanjing in a month's time."

"I see." Zong Wang smiled, "Then do you know that the Xixia people have been defeated?"

"Your Highness, the Xixia people's defeat is only temporary, and the signed contract can be torn up at any time." Gao Qingyi also laughed.

This conversation sounds very strange.

Zong Han is a Western Expedition in name, since it is a Western Expedition, what does it have to do with the defeat of Xixia?

Zongwang mentioned Xixia people, and Gao Qingyi also responded to the situation in Xixia. Both sides agreed: In fact, Zonghan went to Yanjing in the name of conquering Yelu Dashi, and his real purpose was to go south to launch a war against Song Dynasty.

And Gao Qingyi's answer also hit the point: As long as Zong Han's army goes south, the Xixia people can launch a war against Song Dynasty again at any time. The peace negotiation contract just signed is just a piece of waste paper, and it is too hard to wipe their buttocks.

At the end of June, many pieces of information were sent from the Kingdom of Jin to Tokyo intensively.

There is only one central point of this information: the Jin Army is secretly mobilizing a group of troops, and it may be going to Yanjing.

But at this time, with the rise of the war faction within the Kingdom of Jin, a major event happened in Shangjing of the Kingdom of Jin that could affect the situation in the Eastern Continent.

Chapter 402 Qian Jinshu Is Getting Married? (first update)

In July, a piece of urgent information from Jin Guo was placed on Zhao Ning's desk.

The core meaning of this information is very simple: On June [-]th in the eighth year of Tianhui, Wan Yangao died of illness in Huining Mansion.

The crown prince of the Kingdom of Jin died.

Now Zhao Ning can be sure that the Jin army that was announced before will go south, and it will not go south for a while.

Why do you say that?

If this kind of thing was placed in the Central Plains Dynasty, it would inevitably cause a major political shock.

The crown prince is the future emperor, and this potential line of power buried in the court determines the future power structure of the court.

Most of the time, after the prince succeeds to the throne, the former Eastern Palace officials will be promoted and even become prime ministers.

Therefore, there have been countless people who have been attached to the prince since ancient times.

What about the influence in the Kingdom of Jin?

It is definitely at least ten times more influential than the Central Plains Dynasty in Zheng'er Bajing.

How to explain this?

This has something to do with the power system of the Kingdom of Jin.

The Kingdom of Jin has just entered the feudal dynasty, and has not yet been completely feudalized and bureaucratized.

The Bojilie system dispersed the core power of the Kingdom of Jin, and there were many aristocratic factions, extending from politics to military.

For example, Zong Han, his father Wanyan Sagai was Wanyan Aguda's cousin, and was the number two figure in Jin Guo's entrepreneurial period.

After Ah Guda's younger brother Wanyan Wu Qimai succeeded to the throne, Zong Han had made many military exploits and his power expanded rapidly, second only to Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyan Gao.

Wushu also has his own soldiers, Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongpan, and even Wanyanchang are also cultivating their own forces in Beijing.

This kind of power includes legal financial power, military power, the right to dispose of the population, and so on.

This is the same as the Central Plains dynasty that had just entered the imperial era, with nobles in power and princes and kings everywhere.

When the imperial system evolved to the Song Dynasty, the princes and kings of the Han Dynasty no longer existed, and the powerful families of the Eastern Han Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty were also finished.

The civil servants in the Great Song Dynasty basically had no power except for their salaries and the little administrative power and military power they were given.

What's more, every civil servant checks and balances each other, and is supervised by Yushitai and Jianyuan.

It can be said that after the imperial monarchy entered the Song Dynasty, it was already a very mature and perfect centralization.

The Kingdom of Jin is just the opposite. In the immature imperial power and bureaucratic monarchy, the power of the royal relatives and nobles is too great. Once the crown prince dies, it will inevitably lead to the most intense internal struggle.

Moreover, there is another point within the Kingdom of Jin that makes this conflict even more intense.

After Wanyan Aguda's death, the successor was not Wanyan Aguda's son, but Wanyan Aguda's younger brother Wanyan Wu Qimai.

That is to say, Jin Guo has not officially entered the system of succession by the eldest son in terms of inheritance rights.

There is no statutory succession system, and any Wanyan clan member is eligible to be the heir apparent.

Let's see who has bigger fists!

Zhao Ning closed the information and said with emotion in his heart: God bless Huaxia!

According to the current situation, there will be a period of debate on the issue of successors within the Kingdom of Jin, and Zong Han will definitely not go south easily at this time.

Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai most hoped that his eldest son Wanyan Zongpan would inherit the crown prince.

But Wanyan Zongpan didn't have much meritorious service, so I'm afraid he won't be able to convince the crowd.

Next, the power structure within the Kingdom of Jin will inevitably be readjusted.

Zhao Ning's guess was right. Wanyan Zonghan, who had originally prepared to station troops in Yanjing under the pretext of conquering Yelu Dashi, suddenly stopped going south and stayed in Shangjing.

Even Wanyan Zongwang set off and returned to Shangjing, and a power struggle within the Kingdom of Jin was staged.

Zhao Ning most hopes that Wanyan Zongpan can become the crown prince, although he is not in the official history.

However, there is no rush for this matter. The death of Wan Yan Gao, the number one hardliner who destroyed the Song Dynasty, undoubtedly gave Zhao Ning more time.

Apart from seizing the time to develop himself, Zhao Ning can't do much.

It is almost impossible to sit in Tokyo and influence the situation in Beijing thousands of miles away.

Early in the morning on July [-]th, Zhao Ning woke up.

He was very leisurely. First, he went to the Wang Po Steamed Bun Shop in the inner city of Tokyo to eat a few steamed buns and a bowl of noodles. Then he ran to the bank of the Bian River, found a place with lush willows, and sat down to fish.

Not long after, Wang Zonglian came over with two servings of coconut water, and the guards in front of the temple guarding around saw that it was Wang Zonglian, and did not stop him.

"Official, official."

Zhao Ning turned around and watched Wang Zonglin walking over happily.

"Official, this is the coconut water I just got, and there are ice cubes in it." Wang Zonglian smiled, "This ice cube has been processed, it is boiled water, and it is re-condensed in the ice cellar. ice."

Zhao Ning put down the fishing rod, took the coconut water, smelled it, it was really coconut.

"This coconut is from Qiongzhou, it's absolutely authentic." Wang Zonglian said with a smile, he sat down and drank it.

He knew that Zhao Guan's family didn't have so many rules when they went out in private, so he was able to let go.

"Uncle, how many coconuts are there in Tokyo?"

"It's not much, and some were given by Qian Yuqing to the ministers. They seem to have a boat to go to Cochin to do trade. They passed by Qiongzhou and got some in Qiongzhou."

"Qian Yuqing?"

"It's Qian Jinshu's elder brother."

"Oh, now that I think about it, how are the two brothers and sisters doing?"

"Well, the food supply in Dengzhou is very stable, and food is regularly shipped from Hangzhou to Tokyo. The brothers and sisters are really good at doing business, and the amount of food collected locally is extremely stable. I have asked, and they hired special people to come to the door Going to the farm to collect grain does not require the farmers to go to the assembly point, which greatly saves the energy of the farmers."

"And the price given is quite reasonable. Just talking about these two points, there are many farmers who have surplus food at home and are willing to do business with them."

Zhao Ning asked curiously, "If so, what do they earn?"

"Officials, I have specifically inquired about this matter. They still make money. I can only say that the profits are not as much as other businessmen, but the supply of goods is stable and the reputation is good. Many people are willing to do business with them."

"It seems that finding them to do these things in the first place was a very correct choice."

Zhao Ning couldn't help but think of Qian Jinshu, and that beautiful and elegant figure in the snow scene appeared in his mind again.

Thinking of Qian Jinshu's smile, every time Qian Jinshu smiled, her eyes were bent into crescents, which was very pretty.

Zhao Ning didn't drink the coconut water, but said suddenly: "I asked you to find a candidate for Shibo, have you found it?"

Wang Zonglin was taken aback for a moment, screaming in his heart that something was wrong, what the hell, how could he forget about this.

With an idea, he said: "Guanjia, Qian Yuqing, who else is more suitable than him, he is from Hangzhou, he does business in Hangzhou, and he also does business with Jiaozhi State-owned. I also heard him mention the Nanyang Islands Things."

"South Sea Islands?"

"He said that there are a lot of sugar cane on Luzon Island, so I said that you can go there to buy at a low price and sell it at a high price when you come back. This can also generate income for the court."

Having said that, Zhao Ning really thinks that Qian Yuqing is quite suitable for managing the Shibo Department.

"So, take the time to let Qian Yuqing come to see me."

"He's been busy recently, so it may not be convenient."

"Oh?"

"Doesn't he still have a younger sister? The little girl is not young now, and she is in a hurry to find a matchmaker. I heard that he has found a family and is planning to talk about marriage."

Chapter 403 Steel Scum Man Zhao Guanjia (Second Update)

"younger sister?"

"It's Qian Jinshu, Mrs. Qian."

Zhao Ning was very surprised, he didn't expect Qian Jinshu to get married.

In his impression, Miss Qian seemed to be a girl less than 20 years old.

Only then did he realize that in ancient times, if you were eighteen or nineteen years old and didn't get married, you were already old enough to be a woman.

"Is she getting married?"

"Yeah, I'm 19 years old this year, and I won't be able to get married if I don't get married again!"

"Who will you marry, is it decided?"

"Well, it seems that it's almost done. We're talking about dowry. Oh, now that I think about it, it's about recruiting a son-in-law, not simply getting married."

"Have I decided to ask someone?"

"It should have been decided."

"should?"

"It's [-]% sure, I really didn't ask carefully about this."
