With the bell after the Daqing Palace, today's view of the dynasty is finally over, the original calm of the dynasty, by the party messenger so stirred and dull meaning, although just in the view of the court to express their opinions, but the heart is not calm for a long time, now the general trend of the world is treacherous, Song, Liao, Xia between the three kingdoms of the dispute continues, the means come out.

The party is naturally thick-faced and black-hearted, the Liao Dynasty is in the midst of civil strife, so he plans to pounce on it and take a bite, and even try to pull the Great Song Dynasty to act together, it can be seen that Li Yuanhao is an extremely good speculative person, although this kind of person is shameless, but I have to say that it is very practical, since the party people attacked the Liao Dynasty, Zhao Zhen gave him the label of pragmatism in his heart.

This kind of person doesn't care about any moral condemnation, in his opinion, as long as it can bring benefits to himself, it doesn't matter what means, he really does everything, he can be someone else's son, he can turn against him, and he will naturally be caught if he reneges on the covenant. The same kind of people are also the most terrifying.

To deal with this kind of person, you can't use ordinary means, because people can always come forward cheekily and call you "Dad"! They all call you "Dad" on the national book, are you embarrassed to do it? When you stand still, the party members will start to make small moves again, advance a little today, kill your border people tomorrow, and plunder cattle and sheep property.

Then you can only use some extraordinary means, such as economic sanctions, don't underestimate this kind of soft power, it depends on whose hands it is, it may not work for other countries, but the commercial and financial affairs of the Great Song Dynasty are already behemoths, and they can even dominate the trade situation of the whole world, which is not bragging, but a real appearance.

When the Great Song Dynasty's transportation of goods to Europa was cut off by Abbas, the price of luxury goods in the Holy Roman Empire skyrocketed, even far exceeding gold, and in desperation, another envoy came, and Zhao Zhen even used the goods to provoke a war between the Holy Roman Empire and the Abbasid Dynasty.

While Zhao Zhen was eating the imperial meal that he didn't know whether it was lunch or breakfast, he listened to Cai Boyan's report swallowing his saliva: "Your Majesty, Cai Ji has provided the Europa people with a lot of information about the Abbasid Dynasty. It looks like the Europa people are going to make a move. ”

Zhao Zhen took a sip of soup, cleared his throat and said, "Don't say that these are all gratuitous...... There is also a price to pay for providing them with news and intelligence, otherwise wouldn't my Great Song Dynasty lose? ”

Cai Boyu stumbled, and the official family was still so stingy...... I don't feel distressed how much money I spend in Da Song, once it gets to another country, even a skinny camel has to squeeze out two catties of oil: "Official, it's really hard for us to collect money, otherwise next time?" ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said: "Actually, it's simple, if we want to help the Europa, then get benefits from them, once the war starts, the spoils of the Europa people ......"

With Zhao Zhen's words, Cai Boyu's eyes lit up, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty can become the merchants who profit between Europa and Abbas! What are the disadvantages of the Europa attacking the Abbasites? Isn't it just a lack of logistical supplies? The merchants of the Great Song Dynasty collected the spoils of war from the Europa, and then replenished them with food, weapons, and even siege equipment......

Cai Boyu's thoughts drifted away, and he heard that the Abbasid Dynasty was rich in spices, which was a happy event for the Great Song Dynasty! If the Europa people had opened up trade routes to the Great Song Dynasty, or even destroyed the Abbasid dynasty, the rest would have been much simpler, and the Great Song would have been able to avoid the Western Xia monopoly on spices.

Zhao Zhen coughed dryly and pulled Cai Boyu, who was thinking far away, back, pointed to the table and chair in front of him and said, "You can sit down and eat!" I don't know what I've been thinking all day, but I'm stunned as I talk! ”

Cai Boyu smiled awkwardly and said, "You're welcome, just now Weichen thought of the party." The spices of the Western Regions are controlled by the party, and it is not easy for my Great Song Dynasty to obtain them. Although the party members have no talent in business and trade, they understand a truth, what is good to sell, they will raise the price and tax of things, which makes my Great Song merchants miserable! But I can't close the field in the Great Song Dynasty......"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "It is absolutely impossible to close the field, and I plan to use this field to deal a heavy blow to the party." ”

Cai Boyu was confused, this field has always been a necessary way for party members to obtain from the Great Song Dynasty, how can it become a sharp weapon against party members? Without these fields, the tea, cloth, silk, and even grain necessary for the party members would not have been replenished.

Zhao Zhen saw Cai Boyu's doubts, pulled off a chicken leg and sniffed it: "The role of the field is to control what the party members produce, and the previous ones were not slightly controlled, they are all party people, and I will collect what the Song businessmen will receive, and the price is relatively low, from now on it will be different, I need wool in the Song Dynasty, a lot of wool!" ”

"Hiccup...... Wool! Cai Boyu was choked by Zhao Zhen's proposal, both eyes rolled white, but fortunately, Sancai hammered his back on the side, which saved him from the fate of choking.

This goods didn't care about the water smoothing, and asked anxiously: "Official, why do we want wool in the Great Song Dynasty?" We don't need so many wool carpets in the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Zhao Zhen glared at Cai Boyu: "You kid knows money, and besides, who said that wool can only be made into carpets?" It can also be made into clothes! Seeing that he didn't believe it, Zhao Zhen waved his hand to Sancai: "Go and show the sweater from the Gewu Academy to the horse." ”

Sancai smiled and left, and when he came back not long, he held a sweater and carefully handed it to Cai Boyu and said: "This is a sweater, it is all woven with wool, this is called soft and good!" ”

Cai Boli picked up the soft and light clothes in his hand and unfolded it to see that there was no placket, pointed to the sweater in his hand and asked Sancai: "Official, how do you wear this thing?" ”

Sancai glanced at Cai Boyu: "You still need to ask, just put it in from your head!" ”

Cai Boli looked at Zhao Zhen embarrassedly, and quickly took off his clothes after Zhao Zhen nodded, anyway, there are no outsiders, Sancai, the eunuch, it doesn't matter, after putting on the sweater, Cai Boyu feels that he lives like a monkey......

But after a while, I felt warm on my body, and I couldn't feel the trade on my body, if I wore it under the uniform...... "Good thing!" Good stuff! Official, this sweater is as light as a feather, warm and abnormal, it is an extraordinary thing! ”

Zhao Zhen glanced at him: "What is extraordinary, it is just the hair on the sheep's body, and I turn a blind eye all day long, but I don't know that it is a good object!" The institute already had a device that could spin wool into threads, and with a little modification, it would be possible to produce it in large quantities, and such sweaters would be everywhere......"

Cai Boyu's excited body was trembling, what a good thing! The most important thing is that the northwest is already cold, if you can get this sweater again, it will definitely be in short supply!

Obtaining wool from the party, weaving it into a sweater and selling it to the party, this is a chicken that lays eggs, but how can this deal a heavy blow to the party?

The curious baby seemed to have Cai Boxi asked his own questions, but Zhao Zhen smiled and didn't answer, naturally he wouldn't tell him the reason, sheep cannibalism is not a day......
