Chapter 459: Little Green Salt
Zhao Zhen's recognition of Li Yuanhao, the founding of the Western Xia Dynasty, as the emperor spread throughout the Great Song Dynasty, and many people did not understand the measures of the official family, in their opinion, as long as the official family did not recognize the status of the Western Xia, the Western Xia would not be the Western Xia for a day.
This kind of sentiment is particularly strong in the city of Tokyo, the people of Tokyo are now very proud, the change of the Great Song Dynasty is the biggest for the city of Tokyo, the western expedition of the year made the people feel that the current Great Song Dynasty is not afraid of the party, and naturally feel that the waist pole has become harder.
But who knew that the official family actually changed its toughness in the past and recognized its status as the Western Xia Kingdom.
In the wine shop on Nanmen Street, almost everyone is discussing this issue, and even the storyteller has turned out the bad Xizheng script and started to fry cold rice.
"At that time, General Peng personally led the army to the west to conquer the party, and even the two states of the party, annihilating more than 100,000 enemies! To say that this General Peng is not simple, he was the commander of the official prince Sanwei back then, not to mention his martial arts, and his strategy was also first-class......"
The official on the side shouted: "Liu Qizui, don't say these things that everyone knows, come to something real, otherwise there will be no reward!" ”
"That's it! What's the point of saying that these big guys know something, as long as you can say something new about the party, our reward will not be less than yours, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it! ”
Liu Qizui was choked enough, he relied on the bowl of rice storytelling, and now he is looked down upon by others, so how will he mix rice in the future?
Coughing lightly, Liu Qizui picked up the empty wine bowl in front of him and said: "You officials are really told by you, my Liu Qizui's name is not for nothing, there will be something different from others, first come to a bowl of wine to moisten your throat." ”
Everyone smiled and pointed at Liu Qizui: "Give you a drink, if there is no real thing from his dog's mouth later, be careful of your flesh and skin!" ”
The fat man who looked like a businessman on the side stretched out his hand to untie a wine gourd from his waist and said: "See, this is a good wine that I have hidden privately, Cai Ji's clear spring white, a pot of five guan money, if you say something useful, how about I pour wine for you personally?" ”
"Okay, it's still interesting enough for the shopkeeper, for this pot of wine, I Liu Qizui will pour out the real things in the stomach for everyone to see!"
Shopkeeper Zhang shouted hello, pulled out the sieve of the wine gourd, and a strong aroma of wine came out with the small mouth of the gourd, and the clear liquor was poured into Liu Qizui's wine bowl, which made him intoxicated.
Picking up the wine bowl and pouring it down, Liu Qizui's face instantly turned red, and after taking a long breath, he suddenly picked up the awakening wood and patted it: "If you want to say that the official family recognized the Western Xia dynasty in the court, this is also a matter of indifference, why do you say that?" If you think about it carefully, when he Li Mingde was alive, he was already the existence of Wang Qidi, what does it have to do with whether the country is founded or not, and whether he is the emperor or not? ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent, and the entire wine shop became silent from the original noise, Liu Qizui was right, Li Yuanhao's title to the emperor is actually nothing, but it is just the name of an additional emperor, in the Western Xia, even if the Great Song Dynasty does not admit it, he is still the emperor of the Western Xia, and there is no difference in the Western Xia.
Just when everyone was silent, Liu Qizui patted Xingmu again and continued: "It can be seen that the official family is far-sighted, rather than letting Li Yuanhao be the king in the party, it is better to directly recognize his status in the Western Xia Kingdom, so that the Great Song Dynasty can treat the Western Xia as a country, and the affairs between countries can be handled a lot, right?" ”
The shopkeeper Zhang on the side picked up the gourd and poured wine for Liu Qizui: "So it's a good thing for the official family to recognize Western Xia?" ”
Liu Qizui drank the wine in the bowl, and laughed loudly with the strength of the wine: "Of course, all the officials also know that the official family has issued a strict decree, and not a single grain of green salt from Western Xia is allowed to enter the field, which is a constraining measure for Western Xia." ”
Many people didn't know what Liu Qizui was talking about, but the shopkeeper Zhang on the side was the first to reflect, and his eyes lit up and said, "That's right!" Wonderful! ”
Where do other people know the trick, seeing that others are staring at themselves, the shopkeeper Zhang suddenly found a sense of superiority, and said with a smile: "You may not know if you are not doing business, in addition to cattle and sheep, horses, the only thing that can be used by the Xixia people is the small green salt, cattle and sheep are not lacking in my Great Song Dynasty, and it doesn't matter if the horses have horse grazing land now, our military horses in the Great Song Dynasty are much better than those of the Xixia people, only the green salt can still be bought and sold, if the trade of green salt is broken, What else can he Xixia exchange with my Great Song? Porcelain, tea, silk, cotton, wine, which one doesn't want me to be in the Great Song Dynasty? This goes on for a long time......"
Shopkeeper Zhang stopped talking as he spoke, looked at Liu Qizui and said: "I won't talk about this matter anymore, I will give you all these drinks for free, don't talk about this matter in the future, wait and see what happens!" ”
The words have been said very clearly, how can everyone not know the secret?
It is good that the way of businessmen is only to enter but not to enter, but if they only do not enter and exit, it will not take long for their financial resources to dry up, which is not only a disaster for businessmen, but also a great disaster for a country.
Even ordinary people's homes know that they have to make ends meet, let alone a country?
Everyone suddenly realized that the official family was drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle! If this goes on for a long time, it won't be long before the wealth plundered by the Western Xia Kingdom from the Western Regions will be exhausted, and what will the financially stretched Western Xia use to raise troops? What to make a weapon from?
Who doesn't know that the current Song people are fighting with money, and the equipment on the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty is piled up with money, how can they be paid if they don't have money? No money, where does the weapons and armor come from.
In a word: don't think about doing anything without money, let alone raising troops or waging war?
Liu Qizui saw the eyes of the shopkeeper Zhang and woke up instantly, he shouldn't have said this himself, and after thinking clearly, he picked up the wine gourd on the table and said to everyone with a smile: "This is just my blind guess, I don't know what the court thinks, let me tell you a paragraph about General Di's decision to go south!" ”
Although he was worried about his guess, Liu Qizui didn't take it seriously, Da Song didn't pay attention to being convicted for his words, he just didn't want his guess to inspire the Tangut people, after all, there were mixed fish and dragons in Tokyo, in case the Tangut people saw the trick, it would be difficult to do.
In fact, the Western Xia people are not so stupid, they didn't hide the trick after they just got the news of the envoy, and they hurriedly found Yeli Yu and begged: "The official family of the Great Song Dynasty is planning to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle!" I'm afraid I'm going to be in big trouble in Xixia! ”
Ye Liyu begged and said, "What trouble can there be?" It's just that the green salt can't be sold, it's a big deal to sell it to the Liao people, I don't believe that the Song people can still eat my Xixia green salt, you must know that there are not many salt wells in the Great Song Dynasty, and he will be uncomfortable in the Great Song Dynasty for a long time! ”
Didn't hide Pang nodded slightly: "That's the truth, but my Xixia can't be compared with the Great Song Dynasty, it doesn't matter if the Great Song Dynasty loses some money, but the money of my party is fixed, mainly through the border of the market to buy cattle, sheep, horses, green salt profits, now stop the green salt seems to be nothing, but over time my party will inevitably be damaged!" ”
Ye Liyu begged and said: "Your Majesty has its own countermeasures, so you don't have to worry about it." What's more, there is Ye Li Renrong, the father of Shang, with his intelligence, he will be able to think of countermeasures, but some green salt will make you rush like this, how will you take on heavy things in the future? ”
Seeing that he was so sure, he stopped talking, he wanted to report this matter to Shang Father Ye Li Renrong, and he was the only one who could see it most clearly in the entire Western Xia, sometimes even higher than His Majesty's view......
