Chapter 728 The Needs of Party Members
Zhao Zhen and Cai Boyu shivered in unison when they looked at the black clouds who couldn't put down the glass, and turned their heads to look at Wang Rou with a surprised expression, but they didn't expect Wang Rou, who seemed to be weak, to be so ruthless, 100,000 yuan, 100,000 taels of silver, just in exchange for a piece of stone-fired glass.
This is too extravagant, what is ruthless? This is called ruthlessness! Zhao Zhen and Cai Boyu felt that they had deceived the party and the people to raise sheep and harvest wool, which was simply merciful and compassionate compared to Wang Rou! The black cloud that didn't hide exchanged 100,000 yuan for a piece of glass and actually showed the expression of picking up the treasure, and although the Wuzang Pang on the side showed heartache, he didn't care much, in their opinion, the gem will not depreciate, it will only become more and more valuable.
Cai Boyu sighed: "Good girl, this party member is really stupid and rich!" I really don't know how such a stupid person can be so rich! ”
Zhao Zhen closed the window of the side compartment, turned his head and said: "Of course their money does not come from themselves, and the value of creating wealth is no one comparable to our Great Song Dynasty." The party members conquered the Western Regions for many years, not only expanding the territory, but also plundering a large amount of wealth, but these riches are not long-standing rivers, but exhaustive fishing. No matter how much the party project of Jinshan Yinshan is saved, it will use all this wealth, and my Song Dynasty merchant is the one who earns their money, which forces the party members to continue to conquer and plunder......"
fell into silence in the side room, Cai Boyu looked at Zhao Zhen dumbfounded, and he couldn't imagine that there was such a wonderful connection between the party and the Great Song Dynasty.
Over the years, Cai Boyu only knew that the Great Song Dynasty and the party had been in constant conflict, and he had also earned a lot of wealth from the hands of the party members, but he really couldn't imagine that the wealth he had earned over the years was actually plundered by the party people from the Western Regions, and every piece of gold was stained with blood, and every bag of spices had a soul on it......
Cai Boyu said a little unbearably: "Official, aren't we indirectly plundering the Western Regions?" The Uighurs of Xizhou, Gaochang, and Qiuci all died at the hands of the Great Song Dynasty? ”
Zhao Zhen shook his head: "This is not my fault of the Great Song Dynasty, I can only blame these small countries for being too weak, and I can only blame Li Yuanhao for being too insatiable and trying his best to fish." Plundering the wealth of the Western Regions is already a senseless act, and he even destroys his country and slaughters his people, and the beasts do not do it! Although our Great Song Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, defeating the Liao people and taking back Yanyun, there are some places that are beyond our strength. ”
Cai Boyu was shocked: "What about the envoy of Gao Changguo?" I heard that the envoy had arrived in Zhengzhou Guancheng, and this person carried the book of the lords of several countries in the Western Regions to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to support the right path and protect the Uighur kingdoms of Xizhou! ”
Zhao Zhen pursed his lips, this is a difficult decision, the party people plundered the Western Regions too much, originally these small countries could still rely on the tribute to the Liao Dynasty to get backers and support, but now the Liao Dynasty is already too busy to take care of itself, how can they have the time to take care of the affairs of the Western Regions, these envoys of small countries in the Western Regions only then remembered the Great Song Dynasty.
The Great Song Dynasty is also a big country, even if the first few years are not very good, the people of the Western Regions have not made less investment, Gaochang, Qiuzi, have sent envoys to the Great Song Dynasty to pay tribute, this is a respect for a big country, not to mention that the cost is not much, the Song people in order to reflect the prestige of the kingdom, will naturally reward double the things.
Now it's different, the party has changed from the original plunder to the destruction of the country, the pain of the death of the country prompted the monarchs of these small countries in the Western Regions to unite, but their strength is obviously not enough in front of the party people who can fight well, the coalition army was beaten to the ground, can only be based on shrinking defense, in desperation they sent envoys to the Liao Dynasty for help.
But at that time, the Liao Dynasty was fighting with the Great Song Dynasty, how could they have the kung fu to care about these people from the Western Regions? Later, the news of the victory of the Great Song Dynasty over the Liao Dynasty spread all over the world, and the people of the Western Regions at this time knew that the empire that was really powerful was the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty and the party had a period of dirtyness.
So the envoy crossed thousands of mountains and rivers to arrive at the Great Song Dynasty, the people of the Western Regions are not stupid, although the party is now waving troops in the Western Regions, if the Great Song Dynasty goes to the Western Regions to rescue is simply a fool's dream, they only hope that the Great Song Dynasty will send troops to the party at this time, and relieve the siege of the Western Regions with the momentum of encircling Wei and saving Zhao.
But they didn't know that the person who prompted the party to frantically plunder the Western Regions was really the Great Song Dynasty that they wanted to ask for help, and even the close ministers of the Son of Heaven like Cai Boyu couldn't believe it, Zhao Zhen smiled helplessly: "This is not my original intention, the world is impermanent, there are always things that are not planned." If the Western Regions come, avoid it! ”
Cai Boyu wanted to speak and stopped, the Great Song Dynasty is the upper country, and the king of the upper kingdom avoids the envoy of the small country, if this is spread out, it will have too much impact on the reputation of the Great Song Dynasty, as if he knows Cai Boyu's thoughts, Zhao Zhen suddenly said: "I can't see them, I want Li Yuanhao to know that my Great Song Dynasty won't help these small countries, but I can't help ......."
Zhao Zhen's words stunned Cai Boyu, what does the official mean by this? Cautiously said: "Official, then do we help or not?" ”
"Help! Of course you have to help, the enemy of the enemy is the ally, although there are many small countries in the Western Regions, but it is not impossible to repel the party members, a few days ago, Yeli Yu begged me to propose to jointly send troops to carve up the Liao Dynasty, I was also on the road at the time, thinking that he Li Yuanhao really wanted to attack the Liao people, now it seems that ...... He wants to attack the east and destroy the countries of the Western Regions! ”
Cai Boyu was taken aback, forgot to glance at the window and whispered: "Entering the Western Regions?" The Western Regions has always been in Li Yuanhao's back garden! ”
Zhao Zhen cocked Erlang's legs and changed his posture comfortably, still the same sentence, from the instrument to the way.
After knowing the enemy's true intentions, Zhao Zhen relaxed, and when he saw Cai Boyu's confusion, he immediately spoke: "What are the party members missing?" What is the difference between plundering the Western Regions and turning them into national territory? ”
"What is missing, what is needed?" After repeating it several times, Cai Boyu suddenly shouted: "Population, land!" ”
Ahem...... Cai Boyu's voice just now was too loud, and the guards coughed again and again to remind him not to speak so loudly, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "That's right, only wealth is plundered, Li Yuanhao is very clear about this, compared with my Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, what his party lacks is not only wealth, but also vast land and a large population, with land can feed more people, so as to increase the population of his party, and will slowly increase the wealth of the party." You must know that the party members can trade slaves. ”
"Does the official mean to provide them with money and weapons in the same way as they help the people of Yizhileye, so that they can unite to repel the attack of the party members?"
Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and shook his head: "Not only that, but I sent experienced generals to help the people of the Western Regions train soldiers, organize defense, and resist the attacks of the party people. ”
Cai Boyu's eyes flashed instantly, and sending the general to the Western Regions was to exile some people......
