Chapter 1081 Hengshan's Scheme

When Xiao Xi retreated, Zhao Ji said with a little crying and laughing: "Xiao Jintuo, I'm afraid that there is no such coarse black tea in Daolong...... Mingrun, Xiao Xi, is difficult, and Da Song has suffered a lot in his hands. ”

Cai did not speak, and said at this time: "Your Majesty, it seems that the friendship between the Duke of Yu Guo and Xiao Envoy is not bad, why don't you let him take charge of the negotiation with Xiao Xi?" ”

Su You said with a smile: "Speaking of friendship, only when Xiao Xi raised 40,000 troops to cross the Yellow River, he was deterred by me with a ballista, and then entered the camp with a thunderbolt to threaten each other. At that time, the minister was still the privy councilor, and this blink of an eye has been many years......"

Wang Qi was a little abrupt: "No wonder Xiao Xi is so polite to Mingrun, it seems that Yiren is like this, afraid of power but not virtuous." ”

Su You arched his hand and said: "Wang Xianggong is reasonable, a reasonable country, I am a big Song Dynasty in the whole world, as for other countries...... It is more realistic to analyze the motives of their actions from the benefits obtained. ”

Wang Qi said to Zhao Ji: "The Liao people's agreement, the old minister feels that it is really inappropriate, they asked for the opening of trade, it is clear that they want to encroach on more interests, 500,000 yuan a year is not enough, it is really difficult to fill!" ”

Zhao Ji has always been a little afraid of Liao, and the actual situation in Hedong, Hebei Province, after the military aircraft department reported it, was even more like a pins and needles.

The key problem is that the North is withering, and even if it wants to increase its troops, the economy and population of the North cannot afford it.

According to the report of the Metropolitan Water Division, this year's river situation is not optimistic, and it is said that it is very likely that a major flood will occur once in 61 years.

Zhao Ji dropped the chapter when he finished reading it, how many years has Lao Tzu been on the throne? How many times have you encountered a major flood that occurs once in 60 years?! What about the once-in-60-year encounter?!

The problem of the year's coin is an absolute shame, the Liao State has increased from 100,000 guan a year in the past to 500,000 guan now, and the Great Song Dynasty has only to retreat again and again, and there is no way.

Looking at Zhao Ji's face, Wang Qi said: "Fortunately, the economy of the Great Song Dynasty has been very good in recent years, and they want to trade, and it seems that they are ......."

Su You sneered: "The Liao people said it well, trade, what do they use to trade?" As far as their horses are concerned, we really don't look down on them. ”

"According to the Liao State information compiled by Chao Buzhi, the Khitan people were originally nomadic people, with fish for food, fur for clothing, horses for water and grass, and people for cheese."

"After occupying Youyun, we began to build an oasis, filling it with the captive Han people, and gradually there was agriculture and handicrafts."

"Today, the economy of the Liao Dynasty is mainly attributed to the herd envoys, and their herd herding department is similar to the transshipment department of our dynasty, which shows that its main economic output is still based on livestock."

"Its land is similar to that of the Great Song Dynasty, and is divided into two categories: public land and private land. The idle fields cultivated along the border and recruited people are regarded as public land, and the people have to pay rent to the imperial court after ten years of planting. ”

"At the same time, it is also open to purchase, and those who occupy the land and purchase the property into tax are private land."

"Tuntian is mostly concentrated in the northern border, while private land is mostly in the southern border of Liao. It is the Han people who are responsible for cultivation in China, no different from the Great Song Dynasty, mainly male cultivators and female weavers. ”

These people, mostly the descendants of the Han people who were captured in previous wars, have now become the main population of many military states in the heart of the Liao State. Except for a small part of the money and grain, the rest of the income shall be owned by the owner. ”

"Since the alliance of the Holy Sect, the Liao court has entered a period of stable development, eliminating malpractices in the internal reform, rectifying the rule of officials, appointing the virtuous to eliminate evil, and opening up science and taking scholars. Externally, he is fighting with me, but secretly he supports the party. ”

"In order to encourage the people to open up wasteland, the Liao Shengzong made a rule that if the agricultural land was successfully developed, it could be rent-free for ten years, and the Liao Dynasty reached its peak for a while."

"However, after the Holy Sect, the politics were dim, and before and after the Xingzong Dynasty Xiao Yunjin Rebellion, the Yelu Chongyuan Rebellion, the abolition of the Prince after the abolition of the rebellion, and the state affairs were increasing."

"In recent years, there have been frequent disasters in the Great Song Dynasty, and the same is true in the north, droughts, locusts, and a fire in Beijing the year before last, which is a huge blow to the fragile economy of Liao."

"Last year, there was a great famine in Nanjing, and the lord of Liao had to exempt him from taxes for one year and pay Su Zhenzhi. Their days are not easy either. ”

"There is also an important one, the successive kings and queens of the Liao Dynasty have greatly promoted Buddhism, and the temple has a large amount of land and tenants, most of which are donated by nobles and bureaucrats along with the land."

"Temple farmers pay taxes to the state and rent to the temple, coupled with the northern climate, the land yield is not high, and the tenant farmers have a hard livelihood, and in case of famine, they can only be displaced."

"It's about agriculture, not to mention handicrafts."

"The lower class of civilians mostly use leather, wood, and pottery, although there are also gilding, gilding, dyeing and weaving, porcelain, papermaking, and even some workshops are still very skilled, but they are all for the service of the powerful."

"The only thing we can do is harness and steel."

"But the scale of their iron-smelting industry has not changed much in the past 20 years."

"Liaodong is its iron-producing land, and it was originally used to lay stone martyrs in horizontal tents and large clans."

"Huoshu, that is, the Khitan word 'iron', and the Shilie of Huoshu, is the military supervisor engaged in smelting."

"When Shi Lie was in Liao Shengzong, due to the multiplication of his household registration, he placed Sanye in Shoushan, Sandugusi and Liushihe, and changed Shi Lie to a department, and his department was still endowed with iron."

"Khitan iron, once together with their saddle, was known as the first in the world. But now, ......"

"Its country can produce white porcelain, green porcelain, and three-color porcelain, and the quality is even disgusted by the Koreans......"

"However, because Buddhism is prevalent, the ability to burn porcelain statues of the Buddha is not weak."

"As for commerce, in the early days, Liao Taizu established Yangcheng in the north of Tanshan, and started to prosper and buy and sell livestock, so as to pass through the road and the market."

"After the construction of Wujing, there began to be decent commercial development."

"There was also a wealthy merchant class in the country, but the economy was so small that it didn't even need to be minted."

"Among the currency in circulation, Liao money accounts for less than two percent, while Song money, imported money, accounts for almost all of it."

"Its domestic situation is roughly like this, it can be said that the 500,000 guan of the annual currency, excluding the silk, the remaining 250,000 guan is the main economic circulation increment of Liao."

"We are developing, they are also developing, and now it seems that the increase in currency circulation of 250,000 yuan can no longer meet their economic needs."

"But according to Chao Buzhi's memory, there were no huge changes in agriculture, industry, and commerce within the Liao Dynasty."

"Therefore, the growth of this economy can only be closely related to the prosperity of trade in the coastal states and counties of Liao."

"And now the trade of the coastal states and counties of Liao is in the hands of my Great Song Dynasty!"

Wang Qi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Hengshan Jingmao's plan? ”

This was the strategy of Guan Zhong in the Spring and Autumn Period.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Hengshan Kingdom was a country that was good at building weapons, and all countries purchased the weapons of the Hengshan Kingdom.

The Qi State wanted to annex the Hengshan Kingdom, so Guan Zhong purchased a large number of weapons from the Hengshan Kingdom at a high price.

The people of Hengshan saw that there were great benefits, so the whole people made weapons, and no one wanted to engage in agricultural production.

Guan Zhong also purchased grain from various countries at a high price, so that the surplus grain of various countries flowed into Qi State.

In this way, although the Qi State spent a lot of money, it had weapons and food, and destroyed the economic balance of the Hengshan State.

After that, Guan Zhong suddenly stopped buying weapons and began to attack Hengshan Kingdom.

However, Hengshan has money, but there is a shortage of food, and the surplus grain of various countries has been purchased by Qi State, and there is no way to raise it.

So the Hengshan Kingdom was defeated without a fight and surrendered.

This is the famous "Hengshan Strategy" in history.

Guan Zhong also played a lot of this kind of economic strategy, similar to the "strategy of the silk", "the strategy of the deer and the bird", "the strategy of the Jingmao", and "the strategy of the stone".

They all use economic means to seek political benefits for the country.

Wang Qi and Cai are indeed people who have read poetry and books, and these are naturally known.

However, they know, and the people of Liao also know, Su You said with a smile: "Everyone has read books, and the people of Liao are afraid that there is no Hengshan now, and Chu is so easy to deceive." ”

Zhao Ji thinks about it, "Pipe" is rotten on the street, who doesn't know these allusions?

I heard Su You continue: "But the technique is roughly the same. ”

Zhao Ji couldn't help but be a little excited: "Mingrun, let's talk about it." ”

Su You said: "Guan Zhong's method is actually to create a false supply and demand relationship, and this supply and demand relationship, in the short term, is beneficial to the enemy and unfavorable to us, but it has seriously affected the economic structure of the enemy country. ”

"After the economic structure of the enemy country changes, once this supply and demand relationship is terminated, it will have a serious impact on the people's livelihood and national strength of the enemy country."

Everyone nodded secretly.

Su You said: "But unfortunately, all countries have reasonable people, and their existence will greatly increase the tolerance rate of national policies, and as long as they are kings above the level, they will never do such stupid things." ”

Zhao Ji's heart is cold, so what the hell are you talking about?
