Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

If Gao disagrees, it is highly unlikely that the Dali Kingdom will implement banknote delivery.

However, Duan Zhengyan is willing to implement the handover.

This opportunity is here!

Zhang Bangchang immediately asked: "Your Majesty is the king of a country, can't you still implement administrative orders?"

Duan Zhengyan said: "Xiao Wang respects Xiangguo's wishes."

"But this matter involves business and trade between the two countries, and the emperor attaches great importance to it." Zhang Bangchang began to take the opportunity to exert pressure.

On one side is the emperor, on the other side is the prime minister.

This made Duan Zhengyan embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, and I will find a solution for you." Zhang Bangchang began to pat his chest with the strength of alcohol.

"How about I discuss it with Xiangguo first?"

"Okay, we respect His Majesty, and the Son of Heaven is even more appreciative of His Majesty. The Son of Heaven also said that he will increase the purchase of goods from Dali next year."

"Thank you, Son of Heaven, for your mercy."

After drinking, they went back to sleep.

Snowflakes float on Cangshan Mountain, and waves roll up on the banks of Erhai Lake.

Political conversations are generally very polite, and the two sides talk about cooperation.

But Zhang Bangchang has already mentioned the words "call me if you have any problems".

The implication is that if Xiangguo disagrees, it will be against the emperor's will.

This also involves the fact that Dali Kingdom, as a subsidiary state of the Great Song Dynasty, must follow the rules of the Kingdom of Heaven.

This is the basic law under the celestial system.

What are the rules of the Kingdom of Heaven?

Monarchs and ministers in order!

Now your monarch agrees to hand over the banknotes, but you, a courtier, object?

Isn't this violating the rules of the heaven and the kingdom?

Then I, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, did not send troops to maintain order, wouldn't I be sorry for the people of the world?

Chapter 797 Real artillery? (Second more)

On the evening of December 29, Zhao Ning arrived at the prison.

If you can ask for a discount, you will be imprisoned here.

Under the dim candlelight, Zhe Keqiu vaguely saw Zhao Guanjia's figure.

Zhao Ning asked: "You can ask for discounts, what else do you want to say?"

Zhe Keqiu raised his head and looked at Zhao Ning, he said: "I have nothing to say, I just hope that the Zhao officials will spare my family for the sake of the ancestors' respect for the court."

"You still know how to mention your ancestors!" Zhao Ning sneered, "You have lost all the face of your family."

"The Zhe family has been loyal for generations, I beg Zhao Guan's family to take this into account and leave a heir for the Zhe family."

"Don't worry, I'm not such a stupid and heartless person. I'm using Orihiko now. As for people from your lineage, don't even think about it."

"Then why did Zhao Guan's family still come to see me? Could it be that they want to humiliate me?"

"Wu Jie's defeat of you is already the greatest humiliation to you, why should I come in person!" Zhao Ning looked disdainful, "I came to see you for the sake of the ancestors of the Zhe family, and to give an explanation to the world!"

Folds can be found like dead ashes.

"When you surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin, why didn't you think about whether your ancestors would agree or not!"

"I am also forced to be helpless!"

"Where are Yao Gu and the seed master!" Zhao Ning's voice suddenly rose.

Although Yao Gu was cheated, he died for his country anyway.

Needless to say, among the teachers, they fight to the death to show their ambitions.

"The Yao family and the Zhong family can sacrifice their lives for the country no matter what, why can't you!"

"Zhao Guanjia, you can't make everyone die for the country, we also have our own family!"

Zhao Ning suddenly said to Hu Yin on the side: "You record every word I said today, and then publish it! I just want to tell everyone that I am a monarch with clear rewards and punishments!"

"Yes!" Hu Yin immediately picked up his pen.

Zhao Ning's sharp eyes were fixed on Zhe Keqiu, and he said unceremoniously: "Your Zhe Keqiu has been favored by the emperor, and the court does not hesitate to reward high-ranking officials with generous salary. Now you tell me that you have a family, so you want to surrender to the Kingdom of Jin?"

"As a general, you don't even have the determination to fight to the death. What qualifications do you have to tell me that you have a family! Who in the Martyrs' Shrine has no family!"

"As the leader of this generation of Zhejia, you must be prepared to die for your country at any time! Everyone must have this awareness!"

It's even more ugly to say that it's a discount.

This is the theory of killing the heart.

After such remarks are released, he will be reviled by thousands of people and will be infamous for thousands of years.

"I won't let you off the hook. Whatever rights you enjoy, you should bear the responsibilities. If you can't shoulder the responsibilities, you have to pay the price for the consequences!"

After speaking, Zhao Ning turned and left.

He didn't want to talk too much about Zhe Keqiu, nor would he use Zhe Keqiu like he used Zhang Jun.

The reason why he came was indeed because the Zhe family was once the most famous general in the Song Dynasty.

The generals of the Yang family spread among the people in later generations are just romances, and the real leader of the generals in the Song Dynasty was the Zhe family.

Zhao Guanjia said these words in person, which can be regarded as a kind of respect for Zhejia's past, an explanation for Zhe Yanzhi who is still in an important position, and even an explanation for all the soldiers of the Song Dynasty now.

It can be said that it has drawn a complete ending for the past Jiangmen.

When Zhao Ning went out, it was snowing heavily.

Qian Yuqing rubbed his hands, saw Zhao Guanjia came out, and ran over quickly: "Guanjia."

"Get in the carriage and say."

The two got into the carriage, it was getting late, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.

"You mean, if the Dali Kingdom is willing to cooperate with our strategy of tea, it will be possible to build a big port in Qinzhou, which will be used as the export of southwest tea to the sea, greatly increasing trade?"

"I wonder if Your Majesty has heard of the Great Cannibal."

Cannibal?

Isn't that the Arabs?

"I have heard a little bit."

"These people are active in the South China Sea, and they even travel across the ocean to Quanzhou to seek goods. They are particularly enthusiastic about the tea from the Celestial Dynasty. If the tea from Dali can be mobilized by the court, it can increase a large amount of exports in a short period of time. The minister has calculated , at least another 100 million can be added!"

Qian Yuqing continued: "Tea is being planted in both Zhejiang and Fujian, and there are many tea gardens, but the increase is not enough for the time being. On the contrary, the tea in Dali is abundant. From Dali to Yongzhou, there are mature business routes. Merchants involved in commerce have prospered since ancient times."

Zhao Ning nodded, but Qian Yuqing reminded him.

He sent Zhang Bangchang to Dali to do things, in fact, it was for tea.

Tea is awesome in this era!

Not only the dignitaries of the Song Dynasty liked it, but also the dignitaries of the Jin Kingdom couldn't put it down.

Not to mention the Mongolian people in the grasslands and the Qiang people in Qinghai.

Even those Tibetans.

Most importantly, overseas demand for tea is also huge.

It can be said that Dali is now a treasure land.

According to the current business model of Dali, Dali's tea can be fully squeezed out by Zhao Ning, and the treasury revenue will not only increase by 100 million guan.

"Didn't you say that the death of Sri Lanka is a great hindrance to us?" Zhao Ning asked.

"Yes, but I have the confidence to open up the sea route."

"How long is it expected to take?"

"As long as the group of merchants who went to gather intelligence come back, I can make naval deployments based on the intelligence there."

Zhao Ning pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know why I called you here today?"

"It must be to discuss matters related to maritime trade."

"No, the matter of maritime trade has already been explained thoroughly. Now that Sri Lanka wants to take the opportunity to raise taxes, you have to send the navy to go there. How to fight and how to fight quickly is the key." Zhao Ning said somewhat mysteriously.

Qian Yuqing was curious, did Zhao Guan's family have an idea?

The carriage stopped at the gate of Gewuyuan.

"Walk."

Qian Yuqing followed Zhao Guan's family out of the carriage, and Chen Gui and the two young men waited at the door for a long time.

"See Your Majesty."

Zhao Ning said: "No need to be too polite, let's go in and show Qian Shangshu what he wants to see."

Qian Yuqing followed Zhao Guan's family into the Gewuyuan, and couldn't help but become more curious.

When they arrived at the school yard behind, Chen Gui ordered someone to bring over a large bronze cylinder.

"Your Majesty, you should stay away." Chen Gui reminded.

Zhao Ning stepped back a dozen meters away.

"How far can it travel?" Zhao Ning asked.

"If calculated according to the new weight and measure, it is about 400 meters."

Qian Yuqing was still at a loss.

"Let's start the test." Zhao Ning said.

I saw a person holding an iron ball in his hand, stuffing the iron ball into the mouth of the bowl-sized barrel, making a metallic muffled sound.

Another plugged a lead wire into the end of the bronze cylinder and poured some black powder into a hole.

Then, light that lead with a torch.

At this time, Zhao Ning's heart had already reached his throat.

Chapter 798 Artillery Age (Third Change)

boom……

There was a loud bang on the school field.

Qian Yuqing jumped in fright, and accidentally fell into the snow.

I saw a faint tongue of flame spewing out from the bronze cannon, and the iron ball that was put in just now spewed out from inside, drew an arc in the air, and smashed hundreds of meters away.

Finally, it slammed into the snow without a sound, bounced on the ground a few times, and finally stopped moving.

The people around quickly helped Qian Yuqing up.

Zhao Ning smiled and said, "Is it okay?"

Qian Yuqing stood up in embarrassment, and said with a wry smile, "I made the officials laugh."

"Come on, let's go take a look."

Zhao Ning took Qian Yuqing and walked several hundred meters away surrounded by a group of people.

The snow left some intermittent strips, and there were several shallow pits on the ground.

As it goes forward, the pit becomes less obvious.

Finally, the iron ball was found 390 meters away from the bronze cannon.

Qian Yuqing moved over curiously, wanting to touch it with his hand.

"Don't touch it!" Chen Gui stopped him immediately.

The snow around the iron ball is melting at a speed visible to the naked eye.
