The civil and military officials in the court had long known about Dali's going to the country to win the title, although they didn't say it on the surface, there was still some war-weariness permeating it, and Wenchen naturally didn't want the Great Song Dynasty to become a belligerent country.

Before the Liao Emperor died and the Liao Dynasty was turbulent, and then there was the death of Li Deming, the king of Xiping, which is undoubtedly God's favor for the Great Song Dynasty.

It costs a lot of foreign troops, and Dali is a country that Taizu has set for not being destroyed, so in the eyes of the ministers, it is not necessary to destroy the country by repelling their invasion and then sending envoys to reprimand them.

Besides, what's the use of the wilderness?

Zhao Zhen sat on the throne of the Daqing Hall and looked at the upright Lu Zongdao and sighed slightly, this Master Lu stepped forward after being instigated by others, but he couldn't admit in front of the civil and military officials that the Great Song Dynasty conquered Dali for wealth and land.

It is the best policy to use strength to fight, Zhao Zhen slowly spoke: "Even the barbarian country of Dali has wantonly trampled on the majesty of my Great Song Dynasty, how can you deter Xiaoxiao without thundering means?" ”

Lu Zongdao said: "Although Dali has many barbarians, it is not a barbarian country. ”

These words are a naked slap in the face, many courtiers are silent, just now they are shouting that Dali is barbaric......

Cao Wei seized the opportunity to go out and said: "What Lu said is extremely true, Dali is based on Confucianism, and it should follow the law and etiquette, with my Great Song Dynasty as the suzerain's country, and pay tribute every year.

At the beginning, the demarcation of Taizu's jade axe was to pity the country of Dali and the country of Confucianism, and the attack was unkind to Confucianism, but now this polite and orderly country provokes my Great Song Dynasty, and His Majesty is doing the right thing for him to go to the country to seize the title! ”

Lu Zongdao was blocked by Cao Wei and couldn't speak, and the civil servants looked at Cao Wei with some dissatisfaction, in their opinion, the generals were eager to have a war, this was a good opportunity for them to gain real power and make war achievements, and this was the last thing the civil officials wanted to see, but it was the general trend.

The voice of public opinion has poured to Zhao Zhen's side, for the provocation of the conquest of Dali, whether it is the people, scholars, or businessmen are all supportive, and there are often people who criticize and write in the land of Goolan Washe.

Nanban provoked the Great Song Dynasty? Could it be that there is no one in the Song Dynasty who deceived me!

The westward expedition to seize the land of the two states of the party has made the Song people full of confidence in the war, and the most intuitive discovery of whether the country is strong or not is from the military point of view, no matter how much wealth, no matter how prosperous the market is, the only thing that can really make the people stand up is the strength of the armed forces.

This is also the reason why later generations feel that the Tang Dynasty is strong and the Great Song Dynasty is poor and weak.

The military strength of the Great Song Dynasty is a kind of strength that can be seen and touched, and it is really strong, from the four guards of the Son of Heaven to the Yulin Guard, from the Armament Division to the Military Academy, these changes are seen by the people in the eyes of the people.

The civil officials always thought that although the country was warlike and would die, but they did not see that the Great Song Dynasty had to carry out military expansion if it wanted further development, and at the beginning Zhao Zhen was cautious to restrain the crazy ideas in his head, but gradually as the prosperity of the domestic economy became more and more exaggerated, Zhao Zhen began to implement the policy of foreign expansion.

Whether it is the conquest of Dali, or to send more troops to Japan, all this is the inevitable trend of the development of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no sovereign currency in the feudal society, can only issue gold and silver as the standard currency, how much gold and silver to issue how much currency greatly limits the development of commerce.

Yici Leye people have complained to Zhao Zhen more than once that the current large transaction amount of the Great Song Dynasty is scary, and if the monetization policy is not implemented, it will face the embarrassment of having no rice to cook, after all, the ticket number is not a bank, and Jiaozi is not a banknote.

The current Great Song Dynasty Jiaozi is, to put it bluntly, the stub of copper coins, how much to save and how much to take, although it has been recognized by the people of the Great Song Dynasty, but it cannot be recognized by overseas merchants and other countries, only the copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty are the currency recognized by everyone in this era.

Zhao Zhen put the idea of gold and silver standard currency to the rabbin, the rabbi was stunned by this advanced concept of economic integration, after a discussion of the music industry, the rabbi almost gritted his teeth and said to Zhao Zhen: "If the Great Song Dynasty wants to issue paper money that everyone in the world can recognize, it must make the paper money have the ability to exchange gold and silver and a large number of gold and silver reserves!" ”

It has to be said that the Jews are born to do business, and in a word, they reveal the secret of the gold standard currency, and the British pound that never sets on the empire not only contains gold in paper, but can also be exchanged for gold at any time in all banks in the United Kingdom, which undoubtedly ensures the strength of the pound, and the gold peg is the best guarantee for paper money, and sometimes this guarantee even surpasses the sovereign currency.

Zhao Zhen's use of troops in Dali is to alleviate the domestic money shortage, at least to ensure that the copper money is enough, and Yunnan copper is not only high in output and good quality, the famous Zhu Ti silver, Heqing Beiya gold mine are from Yunnan.

As long as you take Yunnan, you can't believe it!

Dali is a country of Buddhism, the domestic worship of Buddhism makes Zhao Zhen, the king of a country, feel fear, the monarch of Dali often Zen to his nephew to run to the monk, there is something good and the bottom must be good, gold this vulgar thing is just linked to Buddhism, there are not a few gold Buddha statues in the treasury of Dali.

Thoughts back to the main hall, the court meeting has entered the final stage, the courtiers are basically waiting for the dispersal of the court, at this time the door outside the door suddenly became noisy, a group of inner servants surrounded by a dusty knight came to the square of the Daqing Palace, Zhao Zhen's eyes looked through the palace door, and he found that his helmet was stuck with a feather......

Emergency military intelligence!

The knight used his last strength to raise the box in his hand and shouted: "Your Majesty, the king will take the capital of Dali!" ”

Everyone stared straight at the box in the hands of their knights, Sancai hurriedly rushed over to retrieve the box and handed it to Zhao Zhen respectfully, the box was opened and the utensils inside exuded a warm light like the sun, the pure gold and jade seal of Emperor Dali!

Zhao Zhen was calm on the surface, but his heart was already trembling slightly with excitement: "Cao Shumi, since Di Qing has successfully taken the city of Yang Tho, should the army pacify the entire Dali Kingdom?" ”

"Your Majesty, the 80,000 forbidden troops are already on standby in Lizhou, and at this time, they should have received General Di's military information and went to Dali to pacify all places!"

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, that's right, as early as when Di Qing and Bao Zheng set off, Zhao Zhen gathered the forbidden troops from all over the south, in order to cooperate with Di Qing's army to pacify the entire Dali Kingdom.

The garrison is the most important symbol of the occupation of Dali, Zhao Zhen will not repeat the mistakes of the Tang Dynasty, and the autonomous Dali will never honestly accept the rule of the Great Song Dynasty.

The civil and military officials in the court congratulated Zhao Zhen in unison, the merit of destroying the country is simply the greatest merit for the emperor, this is the most needed thing for the Great Song Dynasty, which has reached the prosperity of civil rule, martial arts!

Tang ruled the people with leniency and eliminated the abuse, King Wen ruled with Wen, and King Wu used martial arts to go to the disaster of the people, all of which have merit to the people.

Such a young Zhao Zhen has reached the standard of an ancient emperor, how can he not let hundreds of officials obey?

Long live the voice sounded in the Daqing Palace, slowly the entire palace was shouting, and then spread to the entire Tokyo City, the Liao people tightly closed the gate of the Duting Station after learning that the Great Song Dynasty annexed Dali, and the party members were even more silent, they vaguely received a little news, but they didn't expect the speed of the Great Song Dynasty to be so fast, even if the Dali Duan clan was mediocre, it should not be destroyed so quickly.
