Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Who is Fan Zongyin?"

"He is the servant of the household department, the commander-in-chief of the southwestern army, and the emperor's confidant."

"Oh." Duan Zhengyan immediately became embarrassed. The reason for this was too great for him to offend. "Then the misunderstanding has been clarified now. We neither made things difficult for the angel, nor did we prevent the angel from going back."

"However, I came here on orders. If the king cannot promise me, I dare not go back."

"What does the angel mean to say, hand over the money?"

"There is also the Gao family." Zhang Bangchang said, "Now the Gao family is fighting hard in Dali, and does not pay attention to the Celestial Dynasty at all. The matter of Dali has been discussed for so long, but there is no result."

"This Xiaowang is very embarrassing!"

"I'm also in a dilemma." Zhang Bangchang said.

Zhang Bangchang didn't know if Duan Zhengyan was acting, and Duan Zhengyan didn't know if Zhang Bangchang was acting.

But both sides are indeed acting.

Because Duan Zhengyan still didn't come up with a satisfactory result for Da Song, not only that, but on the ninth day of March, the news that the Gao family had hoarded troops near Wangcheng had spread.

The cloud of war hangs over Yangzui Baa City.

By March [-]th, Songli's second war had reached the point where it was on the verge of breaking out.

However, that evening, a person appeared in Wangcheng.

This person is high-quality.

Gao Liangcheng appeared in Wangcheng, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

On the same day, Duan Zhengyan convened another court meeting, and Gao Liangcheng directly appeared in the court hall of Dali Kingdom.

Gao Liangcheng said this to Zhang Bangchang: "I am willing to follow the angel back to the capital to plead guilty. As for how to deal with it, the emperor has the final say, but I also ask the heaven to retreat."

Zhang Bangchang and Fang Zhengyan were in a dilemma for a while.

They never expected that Gao Liangcheng would stand up automatically at this juncture.

Next, Zhang Bangchang has two options: [-]. Grab high-volume sales and go back, so that he can make a difference and everything will be fine.

Two, start a war.

But now Gao Liangcheng took the initiative to stand up, as if sacrificing himself to save Dali, which caused public opinion in Yangzui City to explode at this time.

Maybe Dali will be united unprecedentedly.

Zhang Bangchang was worried about messing things up.

"What about handing over the money?"

"I have no objection to handing over the banknotes." Gao Liangcheng said.

"What about the rest of the Gao family?"

"All the things before were my own initiative, which has nothing to do with other people." Gao Liangcheng said.

Fang Zhengyan said, "Let us discuss and discuss."

"it is good."

Fang Zhengyan and Zhang Bangchang left the court hall of Dali Kingdom.

"Shangguan, this battle cannot be fought now." Fang Zhengyan said.

"Do you think so too?"

"Originally, many people in the court of the Dali Kingdom had already favored us, but Gao Liangcheng suddenly stood up to bear everything. Those who favored us have begun to sympathize with Gao Liangcheng. If we forcibly take away the entire Gao family, I am afraid that it will cause trouble in Dali. The people of the country are outraged, if something goes wrong, the two of us can't afford it."

"Your Majesty wants the entire Gao clan, how do we explain it?"

"It's not difficult. What His Majesty wants is for the Gao family to disappear from the court of the Dali Kingdom. Gao Liangcheng, as a powerful figure of this generation, has left the Dali Kingdom. The Duan family will not allow the Gao family to become stronger again. Weakened, Shangguan, it will not be too late for you to get rid of them one by one in Dali."

Zhang Bangchang nodded, and asked again: "What about Wu Lin and the others?"

"Wu Shuai is the Protector of Annan, so it is impossible to stay here all year round. Regarding the army, let Fan Zongyin decide."

"That's all."

After discussing for a while, the two returned to the place where they discussed the matter before.

Zhang Bangchang said: "Gao Xiangguo, I admire your responsibility, but we must look at things separately. If you offend the majesty of the emperor, you have offended the heaven. You must go to the capital to apologize. As for how the emperor will deal with you, I can't interfere, and I have no right to ask."

"It's work."

On March [-]th, Fan Zongyin, who had already advanced with the army, suddenly received a letter from Zhang Bangchang.

"Gao Liangcheng actually took the initiative to stand up and apologize!" Fan Zongyin noticed the change in the situation, "It seems that Southwest will redeploy."

He also wrote a memorial letter to Zhao Guan's family, expressing his views on the current situation in the southwest, similar to Fang Zhengyan's.

The country of Dali is mountainous. As far as the current situation is concerned, if the country of Dali is united like never before, the Song army may not be able to wipe out Dali.

Obviously something else needs to be thought of.

However, Dali also agreed to Zhao Guanjia's request.

Zhao Ning's political goal this time has been achieved.

Chapter 876 Economic Warfare! (third change)

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was already April of the tenth year of Jingkang.

Mei Zhili hurried to Wende Hall.

"Your Majesty, this is a summary of all the house raids, a total of 330 million coins."

When Mei Zhili said these words, he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Mei Zhili: I have received strict training, and I promise not to laugh unless...

"Understood." Zhao Ning was reading Zhang Jun's report from Mingzhou.

Zhang Jun is now honestly doing business with Japan in Mingzhou, dumping the products of the Song Dynasty to Japan.

Zhang Jun is extremely exaggerated in his work, and he starts bragging before the work is done.

The content of this memorial is how awesome he is in Mingzhou, and he can't wait to earn a few million dollars today.

At this time, Zhang Shuye hurried to Wende Hall.

"Your Majesty, there is the latest report from the southwest."

"Dali?" Zhao Ning opened it, thought about it, and said after a while, "Gao Liangcheng is a man."

He stood up, walked to the map, made a few gestures with his hands, and asked Zhang Shuye, "What do you think of Gao Liangcheng's surrender?"

"Your Majesty, the relationship with Dali Kingdom has been very good before my court. Dali Kingdom respects our court. Now that Gao Liangcheng has surrendered, we have no reason to continue fighting. If we continue to force our troops, the difficulty will increase, but... "

"but what?"

"But the army has already arrived in Dali, so there's no way they would just withdraw."

"I can't let Wu Lin stay in Dali forever, he is the Protector of Annan."

"Then let Wu Lin withdraw to Annan, and Fan Zongyin will take over, and then select famous generals from the northwest to Dali."

Zhao Ning asked, "What is the reason for continuing to garrison troops?"

"Just say that at the beginning of the development of banknotes, someone needs to maintain order."

This reason is very fucking, but Dali is really hard to refuse.

The reason of the strong is used to give everyone a step down, and it does not exist because of reason.

It should be said that in this case, the reason for fucking is reasonable!

"What about the Dali Kingdom Hall?"

Zhang Shuye said again: "Your Majesty can let the best of the nobles of the Dali Kingdom come to Tokyo to study. After studying for a few years, they will turn their hearts to the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Ning thought about it again, he thought about it, and finally said: "Not only that, but also the temptation of profit, I heard that the Yang family of Dali is very cooperative this time, printing more money, as long as it is tea from the Yang family, We pay double the price."

Zhang Shuye immediately understood what Zhao Guanjia meant: divide and win over the nobles in Dali.

The so-called double price is a false proposition for Da Song.

From the moment Dali Kingdom accepted the payment of banknotes, Dali Kingdom has already fallen into the palm of Song Dynasty economically.

Because the banknotes currently used in Dali in the Song Dynasty are all printed.

Mei Zhili took over the topic and said: "Tea is traded with Dali at a high price. Most people in Dali must start planting tea and transport grain from Chengdu to sell to Dali. After a few years, we will cut off the relationship with Dali. Dali’s commerce and trade will inevitably face a food crisis and a surplus of tea in Dali.”

Zhao Ning couldn't help but take a look at Mei Zhili, this guy usually takes things seriously, giving people a rigid feeling.

But when it comes to accounting and buying and selling, it's like a different person.

"What Mei Shangshu said makes sense." Zhang Shuye said, "If you buy tea at twice the current price and sell grain at half the price in Dali, there will soon be no one in Dali growing grain, but all To grow tea, even if Duan Zhengyan knows that this is our strategy, there is nothing he can do."

"Just do it like this." Zhao Ning picked up a pen and began to write something to the Political Affairs Hall, which was the next policy for Dali Kingdom.

Once this is true, Duan Zhengyan will face a domestic famine, and he will have to kneel down and beg for mercy.

If there are no accidents, a batch of banknotes can now be prepared to be handed over to Dali for national transportation.

The amount of tea produced from Dali this year is at least twice that of previous years.

Although April has entered early summer, Fuzhou is still like March in the south.

Yu Yunwen rode a horse and led people to the area around the market.

There are already some businessmen in the discussion field here.

Most of these merchants were mainly Han Chinese, but they did not sell these commodities to Linzhou, but to the grasslands outside the pass to the Mughals.

For Song people, the outside of the grassland is an extremely mysterious and dangerous place.

The people there drink blood like hair, they are not considered human at all.

However, since Yu Yunwen started to open up a market in Fuzhou last year, a group of business travelers have been brought in to be active in this area.

In human society, no matter how vicious the place is, as long as it is profitable, there will always be some people who want to make money.

Right now these are the people.

Yu Yunwen walked over with people, the crowd made way,

"what happened?"

There were five people lying on the ground, each of them was wounded by a knife.

"This is Yu Yunwen, the magistrate of Yuzhou. If you have anything to say, just speak up."

Those merchants immediately said: "Yu Zhizhou, we were attacked by barbarians on the way of transporting tea this time, and many of us were killed."

"It's impossible!" Yu Yunwen said, "I sent people to talk to their leaders before, as long as we can sell tea to them, they are willing to trade with us for a long time."

"These are all true, we dare not deceive Zhizhou Yu!"

"These barbarians don't keep their promises!" said Fuzhou scholar Cao Canjun Liu Yi angrily.

"Let's find a doctor to treat these people first." Yu Yunwen said, "I will give you an explanation about this matter, don't worry!"

After speaking, Yu Yunwen hurriedly left with his people.

"Yu Zhizhou, if those barbarians really did it, I'm afraid no businessman would dare to go out again." Liu Yi said, "These businessmen were hesitant before, and they were willing to take risks for the sake of making money."

"I know."

"What should we do now?"

Yu Yunwen looked back at him and said, "Since the barbarians dare to openly tear up our agreement, they should seek justice."

"But we don't have soldiers."

"Go to Wu Shuai to borrow it!"

"But our task is to win over those barbarians. If we do something..."

Yu Yunwen said angrily: "We are indeed wooing them, but we are not begging them in a low voice! Some people are barbarians who are fearful of power and not virtuous. If they don't kill them, they will make progress!"

While speaking, Yu Yunwen returned to Fuzhou and rushed to Wu Jie's Jinglue Commander's Mansion.

Wu Jie was admiring the rare "spring scenery" at this time, with a happy smile on his face.

Just at the happiest time, Guo Hao's voice suddenly came from outside: "Wu Shuai! Wu Shuai!"

Wu Jie was quite annoyed immediately: Wu Shuai... Wu Shuai... I am your uncle Wu!
