Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Then at the beginning of October, the first version of the "Da Song Stock Trading Market Regulations" was submitted to Zhao Ning and passed.

Including the audit system.

Of course, Song Dynasty originally had an Audit Court, but now it is enough to open a branch line for Lu Zai.

The first exchange was set up in Hangzhou. Qian Yuqing personally went to Hangzhou to organize related matters, and he began to look for those businessmen with strength in the South China Sea from the private sector, and invited these businessmen to invest a huge amount of money in the Dasong Nanhai Trading Company.

These policies have not been published in the newspapers, but they have been quietly implemented in the court.

Throughout October, several bigwigs from the Eastern Mansion and the Military Political Academy were discussing about one matter.

Who are the shareholders of Dasong Donghai Trading Co., Ltd.?

Everyone has reached a consensus on the No. 1 choice for the most important stake: Han Shizhong!

The No. 1 selection of Dasong Nanhai Trading Co., Ltd.: Zhao Gou!

The Great Song Yanyun Trading Co., Ltd. has two side coaches selected: Yue Fei and Wu Jie!

Candidates for Dasong Liaodong Trading Co., Ltd.'s side handsome candidates: Li Gang and Wu Lin!

Not only that, some important generals also entered the list one after another.

This is to include both civil and military affairs.

After all, military commanders are on the front line, civil servants arrange logistics, and both are indispensable!

Until this time, Jin Wushu, who was being restructured in the Kingdom of Jin, would not know that Da Song had thrown out Wang Zha's level of reorganization.

This is a game that binds many forces together and begins to expand abroad.

China in the classical era, that is, the Han and Tang empires, relied on military exploits for its external expansion, and relied on calling ordinary people to plunder the surrounding areas.

For example, in the early Tang Dynasty, there was military recruitment. Ordinary people wanted to get rich, so they went directly to join the army, robbed and plundered.

This greatly stimulated the people of Datang's desire for external expansion.

And this time the reform of the top-level benefit distribution system will undoubtedly arouse a stronger desire for external expansion than Datang.

At this time, Zhao Ning, who was standing in the Hall of Wende, was looking at the world map in the east. He seemed to be saying: Everyone, please expand as much as you want, mobilize everything you can, and occupy every piece of land and every sea area.

It is true that since October, Zhao Ning began to receive reports from officials intensively.

For example, Gao Lian said bluntly: Let all the people on the grassland shepherd sheep for Middle-earth!

Chapter 1310 Jin Kingdom Advances Westward (First Change)

In November of the 14th year of Jingkang, Jin Guo Yanjing.

Jin Wushu was sitting in front of the stove, looking at a document.

This is Jin Guo's financial account book for this year.

But Wu Shu's attention was obviously not on this account book, he just flipped through it quickly, and then asked Han Qixian: "What are the details of our business with Nanchao this year?"

Han Qi came out first and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, the total number of banned border trades this year is 430 million. If private ones are included, it may exceed 1000 million."

"The folk you are talking about includes how many nobles' personal business?"

Han Qixian fell silent immediately, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Forgive me, Your Highness, I don't know the details about this."

"Last year the ban on border trade was only 100 million guan, but this year it has reached 430 million guan, which shows a problem." Jin Wushu looked at everyone present.

Wan Yanjing immediately said: "This shows that His Royal Highness Wei Wang rectified the imperial court in Shangjing, and the effect was immediate. Many nobles in the imperial court were punished, the treasury was full, and many private purchases were turned to the imperial court. The officials believe that we should further increase the control of the imperial court on the Southern Dynasties. trade."

"Rushlessly increasing the court's control over commerce and trade may arouse the awareness of the Southern Dynasty." Shi Jian said.

He is the son of Shi Li'ai, and Shi Li'ai has retired. Now he represents the Shi family and speaks out in the court of the Kingdom of Jin.

In fact, he represented not only the Shi family, but also a considerable group of Han people.

Wanyan Xiyin said: "The fashion book makes sense. Currently, the forbidden procurement controlled by the imperial court accounts for more than [-]%. If it expands further, the Southern Dynasty will soon find out that we are hoarding supplies, which will definitely arouse alarm."

"So what if the Southern Dynasty finds out?" Wanyan Yinshu said, "We haven't violated the peace agreement between Song and Jin. Could it be that the imperial court can't buy goods from the Song people?"

Wanyan Zongmin said: "The silver technique is reasonable. In the past few years, we have recuperated, and we have eased up. In my opinion, we can mobilize 20 troops to fight another battle with the Song army in Hebei."

"No, I found out that the Song people went to the Tataer Department to discuss the matter of trade. I have reason to suspect that the Qiyan Department has reached an agreement with the Song people." Wanyan Xiyin said in a dignified tone, " If the people of Song used commerce to win over the grasslands, we might be surrounded by Song on many fronts."

Wanyan Yinshu said: "So I think that if we fight another battle in Hebei and defeat the Song army, it is best to break through the defenses of the Song people in Hebei. The Ta'er Department attacked the Qiyan Department."

Hearing Wanyan Yinshuke's words, Wanyan Xiyin said in his heart: Yinshuke is extremely brave in front of the battle, only Wanyan Loushi back then could overwhelm him, but if it is about strategy, it is really ridiculous.

Wanyan Yinshu has such a strong general aura about him, and he was defeated by Yue Fei in Hebei back then, and he has always been brooding about it.

"What if the war in Hebei is deadlocked again?" Wanyan Xiyin asked rhetorically, "Now we are still accumulating strength. If the war in Hebei is deadlocked, Song Ting will definitely dispatch the Liaodong Army to expand the front line and fight us in a war of attrition. Then The most troublesome thing about Zhao Guan's family is that he has control over the overall situation, he is good at fighting wars of attrition, it is useless for you to stimulate him!"

"Then what do you think we should do now?" Wanyan Yinshu asked angrily.

Wanyan Xiyin glanced at the young man on one side, and motioned to him.

Qin Xi stood up and said to Wu Shu: "His Royal Highness, the main force of the Song Army is currently guarding Hebei and Hedong. We must not act rashly. We should continue to gather all the resources in the country and plan for the grassland. If we can make the grassland Surrender, especially if you can lead the Qiyan tribe to surrender, the border between us and the Song people will be stretched, and the Heishan Weifu Army Division west of Yinshan Mountain will be exposed to our soldiers, and even further west in Hexi, where the Song army is defending. Weaker than Hebei and Dongdong, we can definitely send out a large army and enter Shaanxi from the west, but not now!"

Han Duo asked: "Qin Xi, when you were in the Southern Dynasty, you were only a doctor in the official department. How do you know the deployment of the Song army?"

"Don't forget, my father used to be in power." Qin Xi said to everyone present, as if telling everyone that my value is very great.

There was another silence, and the fire in the room was burning vigorously and warmly.

Wu Shu suddenly asked: "If this king wants to fight the Song people with all his troops, how many troops can he mobilize?"

All eyes fell on Wanyan Xiyin.

Wanyan Xiyin said: "Your Highness does not need to take this risk."

"This king is just measuring the limit of my troops."

"It can mobilize 20 regular troops and 40 signed troops!"

Everyone gasped, 60 million!

There are more than 300 million people in the Kingdom of Jin.

60 is equivalent to one out of every 21 people.

"Is this the limit?" Wu Shu asked.

"If Your Highness wants to say how much I can mobilize towards the limit at one time, it can be up to a million, but I'm afraid..."

Wu Shu interrupted him, Wu Shu said: "The king you mentioned knows, what nobles are not willing to hand over power at present?"

"Wanyan Zongxian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Xiao Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Wanyan Wudai, Minister of Dali." Wanyan Xiyin said, "In addition, Wanyan Yuan and Wanyan Chala are quite special..."

The Wanyan Yuan and Wanyan Chala he mentioned are quite special, meaning that they are both the younger brothers of the Jindi Wanyanquan.

Wu Shu looked at Han Duo, obviously asking Han Duo what method to use.

Han Duo said: "There has always been a saying in the state that the people of the Song Dynasty worked carefully. It is said that they are still from the royal family. There are quite a few of King Liang's henchmen who have not been caught before. We should check whether they have private contacts with the people of the Song Dynasty.

Obviously, the Han people are better at tricks.

Wu Shu said: "Wan Yan Zongjun, the king of Liang, secretly communicated with the people of Song Dynasty and leaked the secrets of the court. This matter has a great impact, and we should resolutely investigate it to the end! Han Duo, you come and investigate!"

"Yes!"

"Where are the cannons?" Wu Shu changed the subject, and looked at Wanyan Xiyin again, "How many cannons are there now? I need an exact number."

"There are currently three hundred cannons." Wanyan Xiyin sighed, seemingly dissatisfied with the number, "Not only are the numbers small, but their power is also limited. The cannons we cast are easy to break, and according to Song people, they are easy to explode. The Song people used copper to cast cannons at first, and copper is more stable than iron, but we don’t have that much copper.”

"Are all the cannons of the Song Dynasty made of copper?"

"The Song people's third-generation artillery has turned to iron, but we don't know the casting method."

Wu Shu emphasized: "Continue to strengthen the iron cannon, we must do everything possible to strengthen the iron cannon, Song people have it, we must have it, this is related to life and death on the battlefield in the future!"

Historically, Jin Guo surpassed the Song Dynasty in the development of firearms.

Later, the Mongols destroyed the Kingdom of Jin and inherited all the technology of the Kingdom of Jin. Genghis Khan also lamented the power of the Kingdom of Jin.

It is also true that the Mongols attach great importance to craftsmen.

The Mongols like to slaughter cities, but as long as they are craftsmen, not only will they not kill them, but they will also give them the best treatment.

This is basically influenced by the Jin people.

Wushu's hole cards are not only not bad, but also very strong. In Zhao Ning's words: The Song army has never stopped fighting. Although the frontal battlefield is no longer fighting, the arms race has been going on.

"Yes!"

Wanyan Xiyin emphasized again: "Your Highness, we have ceased fighting with the Song people, but now we must send troops to the grassland, and we can no longer delay."

Chapter 1311 Great Song Dynasty with Strong Expansion Desire (Second Change)

"To instigate the Tata'er and Miqi'er tribes to attack the Qiyan tribe, causing them to suffer multiple losses, cut off the alliance between the Song people and the grasslands, and then send troops to capture the Qiyan tribe, pushing the Song and Jin fronts to the Weifu Military Division in Montenegro As well as the Hexi area, this plan is urgent!"

Wanyan Xiyin said in an urgent tone.

"In one year, we will spend one year confiscating the Begging Yan Department, and the next year we can send troops to Xingqing Mansion and the Hexi area!"

Wu Shu said to Wanyan Xiyin: "Okay, I'll leave it to you to handle the matter of the grassland."

"Yes!"

On the evening of the tenth day of November, there was a light snowfall in Tokyo.

Zhao Chen got off the carriage and entered the Cai Mansion.

"teacher."

"Your Highness, please sit down."

Zhao Chen looked worried.

"Your Highness, is there something on your mind?"

"Yesterday, Wang Zonglin submitted the list of officials from the Anbei Trading Company of the Great Song Dynasty to the Ministry of Officials."

Cai Mao said, "I know about this."

"Do you really want to set up a trading company in Anbei Prefecture?"

"What questions does Your Highness have?"

Zhao Chen said with emotion: "I'm still worried about those businessmen! Now not only are the government and businessmen not separated, but many businessmen have received the support of the court, and they must be even more inflated!"

Cai Mao sighed and said, "Doesn't Your Highness want to resume the crown prince again?"

Zhao Chen was slightly startled, he didn't expect Cai Mao to speak so directly today.

"I...I just want to do something in the official department now."

"Has Your Highness never thought about why His Majesty put you in the Ministry of Officials?"

"Let me practice."

"Is it just for practice?"

"That……"

Cai Mao said: "Those who are good at being a ruler are tired of discussing people and are lost in governing officials."

"You mean, His Majesty asked me to go to the Ministry of Officials so that I could promote more talents?"

"It is to allow you to promote more talents for your own use." Cai Mao said more directly.

"But the final promotion and evaluation of officials from the Ministry of Officials must go through the hands of Zhao Ding."

"Zhao Ding never wanted to target His Highness!" Cai Mao said, "What His Highness has to do now is not to oppose policies, but to cultivate his own people, and unite those who can be united for his own use."

Zhao Chen was thoughtful.

"The veteran knows that His Highness has suffered a lot in Liaodong these years, but forgetting those things in Liaodong and making good use of the merchants will only benefit His Highness, and there will be no harm!"

"The teacher's words, the students understand."

Cai Mao continued: "I originally thought that the official family wanted to control everything, and they did not allow strong forces to be seen in invisible places. Now it seems that my view of the official family has always been biased."

"What does the teacher mean by this?"

"The officials are willing to restructure the state-run commercial corporations and establish a stock trading center, which shows that the officials themselves already know that not everything in this world can be controlled by humans. Now, most people in the court want to expand their territory, and You have been in the Liaodong army for many years, and it is time for you to show off your skills in the court, so you must not dwell on the past, understand?"

"Understood!"

The snow is getting heavier and heavier, but the heating in Wende Hall is very sufficient.

Wang Zonglin is reporting the matter.

"If we send troops to Mobei, defeat the various ministries in Mobei, and turn it into our horse farm and cattle and sheep farm, one million sheep go south into the Central Plains and Jiangnan every year, and each sheep has 100 guan, then the annual cattle and sheep trade It can reach 2000 million guan, of which 20.00% of the net profit can earn 400 million guan!"
