Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"His Royal Highness, Song Jun is still sipping the river."

"Why is that?"

Han Duo said: "The Song army has rations."

"Song Jun stayed in Chuohe for a year, where did they get the rations?"

"It was transported from the south!" Han Duo was sweating on his forehead.

"Didn't you already send someone to stop the Song Army's food and grass team?"

Han Duo was silent for a moment, then said: "The Tata'er Department also provided the Song Army with sufficient rations."

"The Tata'er Department provided the Song Army with rations?" Wu Shu was quite surprised, "Will they provide the Song Army with rations?"

"Your Highness..." Han Duo hesitated for a moment, then continued, "They not only provided the Song army with rations, but they also joined forces with the Song people to build a city near the Chuo River."

"It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Chapter 1375 Jin Kingdom's Revenge (Second Change)

"The Tata'er Department helped the Song people build cities. Do they want to live a farming life?"

No one answered Jin Wushu's words.

The change in the situation is obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

Originally, the senior officials of the Jin Kingdom thought that after the Song army defeated the Tataer tribe in a short period of time, they would stay for a few months at most and then leave.

After all, it is impossible for the Song army to stay in Chuhe for a long time, and the follow-up food and grass cannot keep up.

Unexpectedly, the Tatar people cooperated with the Song people so much!

"Since when did the Tatars yearn for a farming life?"

"Song people must have given benefits."

"What benefits did you give to make the Tatars so obedient?"

Wanyan Yinshu said: "I'm afraid they gave food and allowed the Tatar people to sell goods to Anbei Mansion, just like us now. Our people sell goods at high prices to the Song people, but they don't want to fight with the Song people. !"

He was almost named.

Those present here are directly negotiating with Da Song from the Han family. In this business game with Da Song, the Han family has benefited the most.

Of course, most of the Daikin bureaucrats got involved and got a piece of the action.

Han Duo said suddenly: "I think that the Tatar people cooperated with the Song army and allowed the Song army to station. It's not a simple business with the Song people. The business is just an additional condition. The real reason is that the Song army defeated Tata'er. Ministry, to coerce them by force."

"I agree with what Han Shilang said." It was Wan Yanjing who spoke, and he added, "If the business can achieve this goal, why did the Song Army bother to send troops before?"

"How to solve it now?" Wu Shu looked around, his eyes were extremely sharp.

This is a very serious problem for Jin Guo.

Once the Song army has established a firm foothold in Chuhe, it can launch a surprise attack on Shangjing at any time.

Although the Chuo River is still more than 1000 miles away from Shangjing, there is basically no obstacle in between, except for a Daxinganling mountain range extending from north to south.

In the south-central section of the Greater Khingan Mountains, there are many roads that can pass through. The Jin army has no danger to defend, and there is no city as a strategic buffer.

For more than 1000 miles, the cavalry marched, and it only took ten days to appear under the capital.

And Jin Wushu is in Yanjing, which is nearly three thousand miles away from Shangjing (Harbin). By the time Yanjing reacts, the area around Shangjing may have been emptied several times by the Song army.

What made Wushu even more troublesome was that he couldn't just sit and watch Shangjing besieged soon, which was a matter of political legitimacy.

If he doesn't work as king, he will become a traitor. How can he use his legal political status to govern Yanyun?

"Zong Min has been in the Hongji assassination department, and the next official suggested to attack the Tata'er department." Wanyan Xiyin said.

"Crackdown on the Tata'er Department?"

"We are currently in the peace negotiation stage with the Song people. It's not just a simple document. The business and trade between the two countries are closer. We can't fight directly with the Song army, at least we can't declare war on the Song army, but we can fight the Tatar tribe."

After hearing Yan Xiyin's words, everyone was surprised.

Don't hit the Song people, but the Tata children?

Wanyan Xiyin said: "Teach the Tata'er department a lesson and let them keep a distance from the Song people."

"Hahaha, Mr. Xi Yin's move is wonderful." Wanyan Yinshu laughed and said, "Your Highness, let the general go, this time only success is allowed, no failure is allowed!"

"Okay! This king will let you go and command the army to attack the Tata'er tribe. As for Zong Min, let him return to Liaoyang."

Wanyan Yinshu can move very fast, when the front foot is fixed, he starts off with the back foot.

After the crowd dispersed, Wanyan Xiyin found Wushu alone.

"Your Highness."

"What's the matter with me?"

"It's about business with Song."

"But it doesn't matter."

"A few days ago, I investigated in Yanjing City. Two months ago, the price of grain in Yanjing City began to rise sharply, and now it has reached a consistent per stone."

Wu Shu said: "This kind of price is nothing. When we destroyed the Liao Dynasty, the price of food reached five guan per shi."

"At one time and another, at that time we were attacking the country, and now we have to defend the country. At that time, our source of financial resources depended on looting, but now our source of financial resources and military strength are ordinary people. If people's livelihood is seriously affected, it will lead to There is a problem with the imperial court's taxation, and it affects the source of troops and logistics."

"Then do you think that the rise in food prices is related to the Song people's business?"

"It must be related!"

Wu Shu pondered for a while, then said, "What good strategy do you have?"

"Stop doing business with Song people."

Wu Shu hesitated, walked up and down, thought for a while, and said, "Is there any other way?"

Wanyan Xiyin knew immediately that King Wei did not want to end Song and Jin trade.

This year, the Kingdom of Jin enjoyed a lot of money in commerce and trade.

"Your Highness, we have said before that if a large amount of currency enters our court, it will cause prices to continue to rise."

"The king knows! What is the highest grain price that the common people can bear?"

Wanyan Xiyin was stunned for a moment, Wushu asked such a question, it meant that Wushu was ready to use the common people to sacrifice the flag.

In the face of wealth and people's livelihood, Wushu chose wealth.

This is actually quite normal, or in other words, most people would choose this way in the position of Wushu.

Just like some people in the Song Dynasty clamored every day to fight against the Kingdom of Jin, calling other people spies of the Kingdom of Jin everywhere, but if they were really required to go to the battlefield, they might not go there.

Everyone is just a mortal of flesh and blood, self-interest is the nature, and it is also the nature of self-interest to pretend to be a righteous person.

Wu Shu has already begun to presuppose the tolerance limit of the people of the Kingdom of Jin. In his opinion, as long as the price is within the limit of the people's tolerance, he can still continue to do business with Da Song.

It's never too late to stop after that limit value is reached.

Wanyan Xiyin couldn't answer Wushu's question for a while.

Wu Shu continued: "When we first took over Yanjing from the Liao Kingdom, the grain price was five guan per shi."

"There will be a lot of refugees in that way."

"It's just refugees. There are also refugees now. When we have enough troops to wipe out Song Kingdom in one fell swoop, will those problems still be problems?"

"Your Highness..."

"This king knows what you are worried about, and this king has also considered it. If you are really worried, you can think about a strategy to stabilize prices, or buy grain from Song."

"Yes."

Wanyan Xiyin sighed inwardly, money is really a devil, it can charm the mind.

People are always very confident that they can restrain their desires, just like a young man who is full of blood, every time after the end, he falls to the ground and tells himself: Quit!

But every time...

However, it is expected to say that money is the devil, it is better to say that Zhao Ning is not human, he is too good at grasping the weaknesses of human nature, and attacking those weaknesses with the deadliest poison.

At the end of October, the war madman Wanyan Yinshu could arrive in Changchun Prefecture and take over the military power from Wanyan Zongmin.

At this time, there were many universities on the grassland, but Wanyan Yinshu didn't plan to stay there, but was going to teach the Tatars a lesson in such a harsh environment.

Chapter 1376 Zhao Chen's decision (first update)

In November, in Xingzhou, there was heavy snowfall.

Wei Xiang, the magistrate of Xingzhou, couldn't eat chicken legs and drink old wine at home, so he rushed all the way to the mansion of King Liao.

Zhao Chen had been waiting for him for a long time.

"Your Majesty, see His Royal Highness King Liao!"

"Prefect Wei, what is written in your documents is that the grain in Xingzhou now costs two grains per stone?" Zhao Chen's tone was a little cold.

"Yes." Wei Xiang nodded, "After all, the Tatars hit Xingzhou very hard last year, and many people moved south, resulting in the waste of fertile land. However, as of three months ago, many of them have moved back one after another. Next year those fields should all be owned by the owner, the grain production..."

"What the king wants to see is now, in this snowy day, the grain has been sold for two ounces per shi! What does the grain storage department in Xingzhou do for food!"

"Reporting to Your Highness, all the food from the Grain Storage Department has been distributed to the people."

"Still not enough?"

"It is indeed because of the big troubles I encountered last year. This is normal, and I can get over it next year..."

"Then can we transfer food from Chang'an?"

"It's transferred! This year, we transferred [-] shi of grain from Chang'an."

"not enough?"

"Businessmen are reluctant to..."

"Why?"

"Xingzhou is too poor, many people are unwilling to spend money to buy food, merchants have no profit..."

"Now that the country needs them, why can't they ship them over and sell them at a low price?"

"The lower official wrote letters to several officials in Chang'an, and they used various excuses to reject the lower official!"

"What excuse?"

"Why was there a severe drought in Guanzhong last year, food shortages, and why the roads were difficult in winter, and no one wanted to transport food..."

"It's too courageous!" Zhao Chen slapped the table angrily, staring at Wei Xiang coldly, "Is there any businessman from Chang'an in Xingzhou City?"

"Yes, his name is Li Ji. He is the son of Li Chu, a great grain merchant in Chang'an. He just shipped a batch of grain over last month, about [-] shi."

"How much is his food sold for?"

"Sell..." Wei Xiang stammered.

"Say!"

"Two punctures per stone..."

Zhao Chen didn't have a good impression of businessmen in the first place, but now he heard this and became even more annoyed.

"Call him to this king!"

However, Wei Xiang asked: "Your Highness, Li Ji is really helpless. It is true that no one is willing to transport in winter, and the number of postal escorts is not enough. It is very difficult for Li Ji to transport food..."

"This king asked you to bring him here!"

"Yes!"

Li Ji was quickly brought over.

"The grassroots refer to His Royal Highness King Liao."

Zhao Chen looked at the man in front of him who was about the same age as himself, but there was no sign of appreciation on his face. He asked coldly, "I heard that you shipped [-] shi of grain over last month?"

"Yes."

"Is it transported from Chang'an?"

"It was shipped from Chang'an."

"How much is the price?"
