Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The aura exuded by a person like Yelu Dashi is unmatched by others.

Not to mention ordinary people, even the leaders of various ministries behaved like kittens in front of him.

This kind of temperament is tempered by all kinds of hardships all the year round, as well as his own leadership position.

But obviously in front of Yue Fei, it is not very useful.

Yelu Dashi laughed loudly, and he said: "It is not in vain for me to meet an opponent like Yue Shuai. I agree to all your requests, and I will not interfere in Gaochang's affairs in the future. As long as the Song people come to Daliao Obey the laws and regulations, and enjoy the protection of my Daliao law. As long as I am here, no one will touch Song people on the Silk Road. I hope Song Liao can be like the past."

"Nationalism."

"Judging from Yue Shuai's speech and Zhao Guan's letter, Zhao Guan's family is also a hero today. It is a pity that I can't meet him. I will personally reply to Zhao Guan's letter."

After finishing speaking, Yelu Dashi turned and left: "Don't worry, Yue Shuai, I will release him immediately."

Yue Fei also turned and left.

In August of the 16th year of Jingkang, the battle between Song and Liao ended.

As a result of the battle between Song and Liao, Gaochang, which once belonged to the Western Liao Dynasty, was included in the territory of the Song Dynasty, and the Liao State no longer interfered in Gaochang's affairs.

The Song Dynasty officially took back Gaochang, including the pastures north of the Tianshan Mountains.

More importantly, the commercial and trade agreement with the Liao Kingdom has also been completed, which can be regarded as the official opening of the Silk Road.

In order to dispel the doubts of both parties as soon as possible, Yelu Dashi took the lead in releasing all the prisoners of war to show his sincerity and agreed on a contract.

Subsequently, Yue Fei's troops withdrew from Husi Ordu City.

In late August, Yue Fei contacted Li Yanxian and assembled the scattered Song army. On the westernmost battlefield of Tianshan Mountains, after rectifying the tombs of the soldiers who died in battle, they began to withdraw.

Li Yanxian said: "Pengju, this Khitan man, we will not destroy it?"

"The Liao Kingdom is now at the height of its national power. Yelu Dashi is not an ordinary person. His Majesty only wants to ensure the stability of Gaochang and the smooth flow of the Silk Road. He is not going to fight the Liao Kingdom for the time being."

Li Yanxian nodded, and said: "The Liao army is powerful, and the one I encountered is comparable to the Jin army."

"Go back to recharge your batteries and wait for the court's order."

At the beginning of September, Song Jun returned to Beiting City.

Yue Fei immediately dispatched people to deliver the agreement of the Song-Liao Tianshan Agreement to Bianjing.

This means that merchants in the Northwest can now safely and boldly transport their goods to the Western Regions.

It also means that Zhao Ning can safely and boldly put silver coins into the Western Regions to open up business.

What's more important at this time is that the amount of fire salt excavated from Gaochang shocked the Ministry of Industry.

One report after another was sent to Bianjing. It is said that when the people from the Ministry of Industry wrote the report at the mining site, their hand holding the pen was shaking.

No one has been able to give exact data on how much fire nitrate was dug out.

But at least it can double the current size of the entire firearms battalion of Song Dynasty by five times.

The gunpowder workshop in Bianjing City is processing day and night, and I have never heard of it for a moment.

At the end of September, Bianjing was already cold and windy.

Zhao Ning was wrapped in a thick long coat, and as soon as he left the palace gate, he heard the messenger rushing over: Beiting urgent report!Beiting urgent report!

The urgent report was delivered directly to Zhao Ning. After reading it, he smiled: "Okay! It seems that Yue Fei's trip was worth it!"

In fact, compared to the Silk Road, Zhao Ning is more nervous about Gaochang's Fire Nitrate Mine.

You know, the Huo Nitrate Mine is not in Gaochang City.

If Yelu Dashi does not compromise and insists on sending troops to fight Gaochang, he can quickly attack the Huonitum Mine. This kind of open-air mine is difficult to defend if the opponent wants to make a surprise attack.

Now that Xiliao has agreed to negotiate a peace, the Huo Nitrate Mine has stabilized.

"Go and send this urgent report to the Political Affairs Hall, and give it to Mr. Zhao, and let them arrange the follow-up."

"Yes."

Zhao Ning took the carriage to Gewuyuan.

"Father, what makes you happy?" It was the Fifth Prince Zhao Chun who asked.

"The vast pastures to the north of the sky are now owned by the Song Dynasty. The Beiting Dufu is stable. Do you think Dad can be unhappy?"

"What good does this do for Da Song?"

"There are many benefits, and you will know it in the future." Zhao Ning patted Zhao Chun's little head, "Come on, aren't you clamoring every day to go to Gewuyuan to see the latest firearms?"

"What is the latest firearm?" Zhao Chun asked curiously, blinking his big eyes.

"You will know when you go."

Soon, the carriage stopped in front of Gewuyuan.

Chapter 1374 Want to play the rhythm of the dead gold kingdom? (first update)

"Chen Qing, are you ready?" Zhao Ning asked.

"Ready, the official side please."

Everyone arrived at the school yard behind Gewuyuan.

The school ground behind Gewuyuan is very vast, it is the place where Gewuyuan develops new weapons and experiments, the surrounding area is strictly guarded, no one can enter without the emperor's permission.

In the open space of the school grounds, a group of people seemed to be preparing for something.

Standing in front of it was a thick wall, the same thickness as the city wall of Tokyo City, but only a few dozen meters wide.

Zhao Chun couldn't help asking: "Father, what are they doing?"

"They should be burying some gunpowder."

As soon as he heard gunpowder, Zhao Chun immediately regained his spirits.

"Official, please step back a little further."

Zhao Ning nodded, and retreated another 100 meters, further away.

Not long after, a huge explosion suddenly sounded from under the wall.

At this moment, even Zhao Ning, who was hundreds of meters away, clearly felt the ground shake.

The people around were even more frightened.

Bursts of green smoke rose up, covering the area, making it impossible to see clearly for the time being.

But I was shocked in my heart.

He stared at it intently, and after the green smoke dissipated, he couldn't help it anymore, and walked over there quickly.

"Official...official..." Chen Gui shouted from behind.

But Zhao Ning walked faster.

When there were still more than ten meters away from the wall, the wall suddenly collapsed.

"Be careful, Your Majesty." Jing Chao immediately protected Zhao Ning behind him.

The collapse of the wall raised countless dust, and a huge gap appeared in the middle of the city wall of more than ten meters.

It's just in a split second!

This means that against the Kingdom of Jin, the Jin people's art of defending the city will come to an end.

This is not the same as returning to the cannon to attack the city. The returning cannon can only collapse part of it, leaving a not too big gap.

When Song Jun attacked from the gap, he quickly expanded his attack surface.

For example, ten people can walk horizontally through this gap, but there are so many golden men behind the city wall, 34 people can cover the gap in the city wall.

At this time, it is equivalent to thirty or forty Jin troops fighting ten Song troops in a short period of time.

This phenomenon happened when Yue Fei attacked the city of Husi Ordu, but the melee strength of the infantry armor of the Gongsheng army was stronger than that of the Liao army defending the city at that time, and with the blessing of artillery, it was able to rush in.

But not every war, the enemy will send the main elite to the north.

Most of the time, the enemy's strength is extremely strong.

Even the Jinren had artillery.

At this time, when attacking the city, new weapons with better effects need to appear in a short period of time.

Zhao Ning couldn't help asking: "If I want to open a 20-meter-long gap at a time, can I do it?"

"Yes! Don't say 20 meters, 30 meters to 40 meters can also be done, as long as the dose of explosives is large enough, and the amount of gunpowder collected so far can fully meet the equipment of explosives while satisfying artillery and firecrackers."

"How much can there be at most?"

"Your Majesty can have as much as you want."

"According to the dosage that can blow down the 30-meter city wall in one breath."

"Yes!"

Zhao Ning, who came back from the Gewuyuan, received another good news in a blink of an eye, which came from the Kingdom of Jin.

It is said that the price of grain in Shangjing has exceeded per stone, and it is still rising unconsciously.

The price of the same grain in Bianjing is 0.2 guan per shi.

What is even more exaggerated is that the price of cloth in Shangjing suddenly rose from the original 0.2 per piece to one per piece.

This is cloth, not silk.

What was the basis of life for the ancient people?

is to eat and wear.

Zhao Ning immediately called Qian Yuqing, and he asked, "So far, how many copper and silver coins have been imported into the Kingdom of Jin?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the total amount of currency has reached 5000 million coins, mainly silver coins."

No wonder the prices in the Kingdom of Jin have risen so brutally!

In just one year, 5000 million guan were actually imported into the Kingdom of Jin!

Da Song has been shopping this year!

According to this rhythm, are you going to buy most of the Jin Kingdom?

And according to Wan Yanchang's information, countless people in the Kingdom of Jin are addicted to the dream of getting rich.

It is said that the servants in a restaurant in Shangjing would go to the brothel to have a good time, and then tip the kabuki in the brothel.

In a word: Shangjing is almost overwhelmed by currency.

According to economic principles, money breeds prosperity, and appropriate inflation is a manifestation of healthy economic development.

However, money has always been the devil.

The power of law contained in it, no one can stop it or control it.

The most powerful emperor in the world, in front of it, had to obediently study its operating laws and use its laws to develop the economy.

The current state of Jin has obtained a large amount of currency in a short period of time.

But the law of this currency flowing into the Kingdom of Jin is completely different from the law of printing and handing over banknotes flowing into the people in the Song Dynasty.

The Great Song Dynasty released a considerable part of the currency to the hands of the workers through the construction of cement roads and new towns through the printing and delivery of banknotes.

The Jin people obtained silver coins by selling goods to the Song people at high prices.

Who has the merchandise?

In other words, if the Song people paid a high price to buy it, who would sell it to the Song people?

Ordinary people in the Kingdom of Jin definitely wanted to sell goods to the Song people, but this created political problems. Officials in the Kingdom of Jin could use their power to buy goods at low prices from the people at any time, and then sell them to the Song people at a high price.

This created a very deformed situation: wealth was extremely differentiated, and a large amount of money flowed into the hands of bureaucrats and nobles.

In which direction will a society with a huge gap between rich and poor and low productivity evolve?

It will evolve in the direction that is happening in the Kingdom of Jin now, that is, prices are skyrocketing and luxury goods are rampant.

This may directly lead to the collapse of people's livelihood.

To make matters worse, it is not only Shangjing that is experiencing rising prices, even Yanjing's food prices are approaching the usual per shi.

In early October of the 16th year of Jingkang, Yanjing, the Privy Council.

"What's the situation at Chuohe?" Wu Shu almost roared angrily.
