Chapter 549: PR basically fails
Sanshao is a beautiful scenery, even if he is mentally handicapped and has a leg disability, he is still like a fish in water.
During this period, Dayan has repeatedly encountered a wall in Beijing, and almost all the ministers have met and communicated in detail, but they basically do not support the matter of sending troops to Bohai in the fifth year of Jiayou this year.
Everyone is in a conservative political psychology: the silver of Wajima is important, but without them, the Great Song Dynasty is also easing and becoming stronger. In this way, everyone also knows that it is the Liao State that is instigating the Goryeo and Jurchen pirates, and no one wants to complicate regional issues, and no one wants to challenge the core interests of the Liao State and cause a war when there is a way out.
Dayan repeatedly said bitterly that they were thinking too much, and this was indeed the interest of Liao, but it was not the core interest.
First of all, the impact of the naval battle itself led to nearly twenty percent of the silver sinking into the Bohai Sea, and the rest were the Jurchen and Goryeo "water army departments" who filled their pockets in large quantities before handing over their masters. Goryeo and Jurchen high-level officials got their hands on no more than forty percent.
Then the high-level Goryeo Jurchen officials left it for their own use, and then handed it over to the Liao State, at most two percent. After throwing out the corrupt officials related to the Liao State to fill their pockets, they really participated in the national use of the Liao State at most.
The Liao State itself did not have any good productivity, and silver could not be eaten as food, so their only way was to exchange the silver for the supplies of the Song State. However, not to mention the loopholes in state procurement, the Song side's quotation for the state procurement of the Liao State is usually double that of the private trade quotation, so that the comprador side can have enough rebates and benefits at all.
Then, according to the calculation of the Great Demon King's model, Yelu Hongji of the Liao State really relied on the benefits obtained by the Goryeo pirates to harass the silver trade line: only half of the conversion rate, and it will not be high.
Half of the interests, in the fields of them and the Great Song Dynasty, they are deeply bound, and now they rely on the big one, the Great Demon King asserts: It is indeed a provocation to the Liao State, but Yelu Hongji will not launch a large-scale national war for this benefit. At most, it will be diplomatic coercion, ruthless words, or unofficial local petty frictions. This is also trial and error, which can slowly test out their core interests and bottom line.
However, most of the ministers were conservative and unwilling to support Wang's Bohai strategy, so they could not enter the actual deployment stage.
Han Qi is a person who understands Wang Yan relatively well, but Lao Han can't calculate the specific data.
Han Qi believed that there was no possibility of defeat in the Bohai strategy, and there was no possibility of really provoking the Liao State to end up in person. But will the little silver benefits earned in exchange for the little silver benefits that have been mobilized to form naval formations and deploy on trade lines for a long time to fight against piracy can make up for military spending? Han Qi was skeptical about this.
In the main hall of the court, Han Qi twisted his beard and said, "Wang Yan, your intentions old man understands. But you know and I also know that those pirates are the Goryeo navy, but they are in reputation pirates rather than navy, so even if the old man approves your Bohai deployment plan at this time, you can't enter Goryeo proper, and the Liao State will not stop pirates and will go forward and succeed. In this case, it has become a long-term struggle. Is it a good deal? ”
Wang Yan hugged his fists and said: "Ming Gong sees that he will definitely lose money in the early stage." However, not everything can be calculated economic benefits, and as a responsible power, the strategic significance of the Bohai deployment is to establish the Song army's long-term fighting spirit of stressing rules and not being afraid of war. The political benefits gained in this regard will be of great benefit in the future. As long as the loss is not large, we can maintain, the deployment of the Great Song Navy in the Bohai Sea is a trial, is the accumulation of naval heritage, specifically manifested in the continuous war, our Great Song Dynasty will gradually have navigation, naval warfare, logistics and so on many aspects of experience accumulation, at the same time, the war brought by the order, is the industrial dividend. It can greatly stimulate the blowout of China's manufacturing industry, and then feed back to the military. My shipyard can accumulate more ship technology and craftsmanship based on feedback, and I think it is cost-effective on the whole. As long as we deploy through the Bohai Sea, we will continue to feed our shipbuilding industry and have enough maritime heritage. The master takes the apprentice, the apprentice leads the apprentice, and lasts for 20 years, and it is conservatively estimated that there will be a new generation of nearly one million related industrial workers, which can support the Great Song Dynasty fleet to the Mediterranean Sea and declare war on all pirates, profiteers, and trade hegemons. ”
All the ministers had their mouths half open, unaware of it, and didn't know what he was saying, only that he was fooling.
Fu Bi didn't understand much, and said with a black line on his face: "Go back to the Daimyo's Mansion and do your own thing." It's funny to talk nonsense all day long. ”
Wang Anshi didn't want to be fooled by his son, so he twisted his beard for a long time and said: "For my father, I support the opinions of your uncles, not that I really can't mess with Liaoguo, but is it necessary?" It is true that the silver trade of Wadao is related to the interests of our Great Song Dynasty, but it is not only Dengzhou Port that can be walked. My father thinks that it is also possible to go directly to Suzhou Port from Kyushu Island. In this way, the Korean Strait was avoided, although it was not possible to say that it was completely avoided to be harassed by the Goryeo Jurchen pirates, but on the route from Kyushu Island to Suzhou Port, if the Goryeo or Jurchen wanted to harass, it would be equivalent to a labor expedition, which would inevitably greatly reduce the efficiency of the pirates' actions, so that there would be more silver to reach the Great Song Dynasty. ”
What an egg!
Isn't that the interest of the bureaucracy in the southeast? My big industrial party drinks the northwest wind!
Of course, although Wang Yan is depressed, this is Wang Yan's interests, Wang Yan's problem, and it has nothing to do with Zhongshu. As Fu Bi said to Zhang Fangping at that time: What you have less is your business, and it is the same for the court.
So Wang Yan couldn't go on, he could play tricks here when he was young and an official, but now he can't, the feudal officials are used to solve problems for the imperial court, not to drag them back, and it will not be a proper way to cry indiscriminately.
Wang Anshi said that going to Suzhou Port is indeed one of the ways, that can really drag the Jurchen and Goryeo pirates to the point of the labor expedition, the pirates are inefficient, of course, it means that the proportion of silver in the Great Song Dynasty is high, this is a simple arithmetic problem, and the two will do it.
But the biggest problem is that in this era, the officials in the south were poor, and the silver went to the south to re-export, although it survived from the pirates, but that part would not really enter the blood of the Great Song Dynasty, but would be lost by the handling officials.
So the theoretical difference: did the silver fall into the hands of pirates, or in the hands of the Great Song bureaucrats?
Oshiki still advocated re-entering the Daimyo's mansion from the north in order to maximize efficiency. In this era, the north has been sorted out by several famous ministers, and now there is a big demon king in charge, so it is natural to minimize the loss, and the only thing is to solve the problem of piracy.
However, the proposal for the deployment of the Bohai Sea could not be passed in the Chinese book, so another way had to be found.
Leaving the imperial court, walking on the way home, Da Yan was very depressed, this time he went to Beijing and delayed a lot of time, and did not reach a policy that was beneficial to the Daimyo's Mansion.
Da Yan, who never sighed, also sighed when he returned home, and was so stimulated that he fainted to the ground, because Sanshao's leg was not good, and his skull was broken again, and he pulled the corner of his clothes and shouted to take him to the doctor.
As a last resort, Da Yan put his face against him and took him to the Imperial Medical Bureau to see if it was possible to treat his brain?
But the conclusion of the Taiyi Bureau is that the three young people of the Wang family are strong and don't need to worry about it, and the implication is that the brain is basically hopeless......
"Big brother is really enough."
Now Sanshao doesn't have any hope for the big demon king's discipline, so he finally brought me to the Taiyi Bureau to see a doctor, but he only explained two sentences, and threw Sanshao and me here, and he himself went to the spa to talk to someone? Hum!
Several imperial doctors took turns to check on the three young men of the Wang family, and sighed that the brain could not be treated, and as for the legs and feet, it would be better if they were not treated.
Sanshao can't complain about this, just to cure a disease, why is it so difficult?
After repeated requests, the doctor gave a few sticks of dog skin plaster, saying that he would stick it wherever he liked. San Shao thought about it, this is the magic medicine of the Taiyi Bureau, people who are not of sufficient grade can not easily obtain it, in addition to the black dog, the dog skin is still the virgin dog in the black dog, and it is roasted with the royal secret recipe, and combined with the secret medicine. Absolutely premium.
So Sanshao heard them say that "it will be better if the hands and feet are not cured", so he was reluctant to use it, so he only put a dog skin plaster on the door of his head, and went to the spa to find the eldest brother.
Yang Wenguang Yang Chief, now you are the commander of the palace and the title of captain, and he has reached the top level of the Great Song Dynasty military ministers, and he will not be promoted again like a certain star later. Sure enough, the rest is the king, even Di Qing has never won the title of captain.
Old Lady Yang was old, and he asked Han Qi to talk to him that he had fallen ill from his deployment earlier, and he was sore and unable to take care of himself in winter, so since the fourth year of Jiayou last year, Han Brain Shell approved Commander Yang's annual quota of recuperating in the spa for one and a half months.
Chief Yang's annual recuperation cost of 45 days is about 500 yuan, and as a senior general and leader, Ma Jinxi, who is equivalent to the army commander of later generations, has a salary of just over 200 yuan a year.
Speaking of which, this is how the finances of the Great Song Dynasty were spent. To say, if you have been a world hegemon like the Great Yin Empire, many years later, you will be lonely, accumulate a large group of officers, and cause more generals than tanks, but only maintain half of Maozi's military scale with more military spending than Maozi, which is also reasonable.
But the Great Song Dynasty is not yet the rise of the empire.
Therefore, when Da Yan entered the small pool of an open-air hot spring in the spa, when he looked at General Yang who was enjoying himself in the pool, he couldn't help but twitch his cheeks slightly, and he felt that there was a tendency to take pills. However, it is a pity that Han Brain Shell has also worked hard, and once threatened to cut down the spa, but he was instigated by a group of old cadres who demonstrated it.
Of course, Da Yan did not come to understand the cost of the spa, but to inquire about the situation of the Japanese army and the Tianwu army, so that Da Yan and Yang Taiwei could discuss the issue of fund transfer. This is very, very important for the next Funing Army.
That's why I went to the spa to see Old Man Yang this time.
