Chapter 328: Encroaching on the Wa Kingdom

To tell the truth, walking in the city of Tokyo, Zhao Zhen was taken aback by the scene in front of him, he did not leave the palace for a long time, he found that the city of Tokyo has changed its appearance, the snow on the street has been removed, although it is cold, but the people have cotton clothes to keep out the cold, thanks to the large-scale planting of cotton and the progress of cotton-making technology.

Compared with silk, cotton cloth is not only warm, but also cheap, and has a variety of colors. The development of factories has also led to technological competition and progress, and whoever has a good style of ready-to-wear will sell well, and whose price is fair.

Walking on the street and looking at all kinds of clothes, such as the magnificent literati robes and the flowery women's clothes, Zhao Zhen felt that the city of Tokyo was very beautiful, and he had been in power for many years.

The road is a pure cement road, and some of the roads were originally built of stone and sand, but now they are filled by merchants, and as long as they have money, they can hire someone to repair the road, and Cai Kee has made a lot of money from it.

The wide cement road is separated by vermilion forks, the middle is the vehicle exercise, the two sides are passers-by, the advanced traffic makes the transportation of Tokyo City orderly, the road on both sides is lined with shops, the prosperous scene even Sancai sighed: "The appearance has changed greatly, in the past two years the old slaves do not know the city of Tokyo!" ”

After the wedding, Cai Boyu was obviously blessed, and he had already compared with Sancai alone, and said with a shy smile: "Where is the big official?" You haven't seen the factories outside the city, that's called a lot of people, now the factories are no longer doing business in Tokyo City, but selling to other state capitals, our Great Song Dynasty has a lot of people, and there are more factories, and all rich people will plug in it! ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded: "Yes!" The more factories there are, the more money I make, and the more taxes I pay! What happened to the money orders made by the group of people who gave joy to the industry? ”

Cai Boyu frowned slightly and said: "It still works, but there are still many large transactions that dare not use this thing, although the bill of exchange is good, it is paper ...... after all."

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "These people are smart but smart, but they are not afraid of death, the bill of exchange is not recognized by the imperial court, even if they have more funds to protect it, it is in vain, I want to use white paper and empty gloves white wolf, I want to see how long they can endure it!" Once people cash in a lot, I don't know how they died, I don't want the people to lose confidence in the bills of exchange, and it is more difficult to get back the lost confidence than to ascend to the sky! ”

Cai Boyu was puzzled: "Then why do you want them to issue a ticket number, isn't it possible to arrest them directly?" The Taliban are the ...... of some people."

"What are you doing with them, Yici Leye people are the most fond of doing business, and they are also the most shrewd, I want to use them to lay the foundation for our own ticket number, so what's wrong with letting them be fish to test the waters? You still don't understand the trick, ask Ding Xianggong for more advice when you have nothing to do, this blank paper can also be turned into money, and it can promote economic development! ”

Cai Boyu's face instantly became ugly: "Old Ding is ...... Xianggong always beats me! Originally, he wanted to poach the bookkeeping and the bookkeeper from me, but now that he has succeeded, he doesn't even intend to let me go, the big treasurer, and he has to use means to make me worship under his door, how can there be such a robbery of students? ”

Zhao Zhen really wanted to punch his fat face, Ding Wei's dignified three envoys wanted to accept him as an apprentice, this kid didn't care, to be honest, Ding Wei's economic vision even Zhao Zhen himself admired, he discovered the importance of paper and pen before anyone else.

"You will carry Shu Xiu to Ding Weifu tomorrow to pay homage to the master, this is my will and you must go!"

In Sancai's gloating smile, Cai Boyu weakly put down his head: "The words of the official family are the same as Miaoyuan!" She is married to me and I want to respect her decree, this is simply impossible to live, if I go to Old Man Ding, I will shed my skin if I don't die! By the time Cai Kee ......"

Zhao Zhen finally couldn't hold it back, and kicked Cai Boyu's fat buttocks: "Cai Ji you must keep it, that is my industry, and it is also part of the inner treasury, no matter what method you use, I have to keep it for me anyway, if it is merged by Ding Wei's three divisions, I will find a repair from you!" ”

Cai Boyu sneered: "No, never!" ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at him: "How is the trade route opened to the Wa Kingdom?" ”

Speaking of this, Cai Boyu instantly became proud: "No problem! As long as the official family gives a shrewd envoy, the minister will definitely take the silver of the Japanese kingdom! Don't you know, in the Wa Kingdom, the copper coins of our Great Song Dynasty are better than silver, but the baby is not good! As long as the trade route is opened, and there are envoys who can talk back, the silver in Japan will be the same as given for nothing, and it is said that some smuggled sampans actually exchanged a piece of clothing for ten taels of silver, which is even faster than robbing! ”

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "The selection of the envoy has already been given to you, Xia Zhu should not give in, remember that the trade between the Great Song Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom must be based on dumping goods and plundering silver!" It would be better if you could take the silver mines, remember that no more is too much, and it has to be more expensive than smuggling! Otherwise, you will stay in the country and don't come back! ”

As soon as Xia Zhu's words came out, Cai Boyu was shocked into a cold sweat: "The official family asked Xia Zhu and the ministers to build a team, this is ......"

"What's wrong? Scared? ”

Cai Boyu nodded slightly: "The minister is afraid that he will be sold and will help him count the money, this old man is not more worry-free than Ding Wei!" ”

Zhao Zhen smiled: "You can see it thoroughly!" You have to cooperate well with him, and you can learn something from him, you are a lieutenant of the horse, you can't be a writer, even if you are a military officer, you are not sent to the idle officer, I am keeping you now, that is, let you be invited by the court, Miao Yuan's hard work must not be in vain. ”

Cai Boyu slapped his chest on the mountain: "The official family can rest assured, the minister will definitely live up to his mission!" ”

Zhao Zhen said everything like this, how could Cai Boyu not understand the truth, even if the care of the official family can not be taken seriously, but Zhao Miaoyuan's mind can't help but think about it, as a princess, she doesn't know how much face she has pulled down for herself, without the face of the princess, Ding Wei can kindly accept him as a student?

Today's Great Song Dynasty copper coins are becoming more and more insufficient, and silver is even more insufficient, and in the case of currency shortage, Zhao Zhen is ready to send troops to the island country to rob it!

Since the Han Dynasty, the copper standard has been the monetary base of the Central Plains Dynasty, which means that economic prosperity will require a large number of copper coins, but the weight of copper coins is large, it is inconvenient to carry, and bulk business needs to be pulled by carts.

This put a shackle on the fast-running carriage of Da Song.

Silver is more valuable than copper, and it is easy to carry, and it is easy to be linked to paper money, and the current Great Song Dynasty cannot implement the silver standard, otherwise the silver-rich Wa Kingdom will benefit, and their silver reserves are much more than that of the Great Song Dynasty.

Dumping goods in the Wa Kingdom and exchanging a large amount of silver became Zhao Zhen's plan to encroach on Japan, for this kind of plunder, Zhao Zhen did not feel guilty at all, in his eyes the Wa people were not people at all, this nation that bullied the soft and feared the hard did not say that Zhao Zhen was a man of two generations, and even the Song people were extremely despised.

What kind of bright thing can a person who has come all the way to cross the seed be!

During the Tang Dynasty, because the Tang and the Japanese people on the Korean Peninsula had fought several wars, the Japanese people, who bullied the weak and feared the hard, wanted to expand their ambitions and took advantage of Baekje's desire to restore the country and send troops to Silla.

The arrogant Japanese people actually dared to provoke the heroic style of the Tang Dynasty, and 100,000 male soldiers fought Baekje to destroy the country, and then the Japanese State began to be honest and cautious about the Tang Dynasty.

The people raised in a small land are very narrow in character and temperament, and they are different on the outside, and they say high-sounding words in their mouths, and they are naked villains in their hearts.

This is the most wary hypocrite, more terrible than a villain!
