Chapter 403 of the main text is on gold

Sitting in the pavilion of the same paradise, Ye Qing saw that it was basically all nondescript architecture and garden design, and its potential architectural or artistic value, although it could not be said that it was worthless, but at least these things were spent money.

Just like in the last few years, for some reason, all of a sudden there were landmarks imitating the West, and even the old American White House and other European and American buildings were moved to China.

I don't know if it's because of cultural self-confidence, or because I'm so rich that I don't know how to spend it.

Although such a nondescript building is enough to be counted as the political achievements of an official, in the eyes of the people, such a building is with indescribable irony and lack of confidence, and the taste of grandstanding is obviously stronger.

There is also the country of sticks on the peninsula, in order to get rid of the dependence and influence on Han culture, in order to show that it has a profound historical heritage and culture, and in order to prove that its heart is independent and perfect national character, it has created nondescript writing.

It is enough to show that they have an inferiority complex in their hearts and a jealousy and admiration for Han culture. After all, before the stick writing, the streets and alleys of the stick country were full of characters that the Han people could understand.

This is clearly the case with the Jin people today, who have a deep culture, the most advanced systems and structures of this era, and the most powerful economy.

Therefore, even if the Jin people are strong in force, it is difficult to make up for their backwardness in other aspects, which makes them raise the butcher knife in their hands to kill, but they have a trace of inferiority in their bones, and envy and admiration for the various cultures of the Song people.

Xiao Yao Shun completed the sinicization of Yan Yong, the perfect replication of the officialdom structure of the Song Dynasty in the Xia Kingdom, and the Tatars after unifying the entire Central Plains, all of which illustrated the strength of Han culture and the various interests of the rulers.

As a member of the Chinese nation, their understanding of Han culture is obviously much more thorough than that of the stick.

Even at this time, the Jin people also had their writing, but obviously, with their current ability, there was no way or experience to govern the country and society with ease and calmness, just like the rotten Song Ting.

The demise of the Northern Song Dynasty made people feel frightened not only by Zhao Gou, who fled south in a hurry, but also by the Jin people after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, in the face of the large tract of Central Plains land left by the Song Dynasty, they were a little helpless, and their faces were palpitating and dumbfounded.

Looking at the large and large areas of unexpectedly obtained territory, Jin Ren was at a loss, as if he had won a huge prize, and suddenly became helpless, not knowing how to spend it.

Therefore, after the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Jin people, who were at a loss for a while, could think of supporting the puppet regime to govern this large territory.

So two puppet regimes were pushed out by the Jin people to manage the people and territories of the Central Plains in their place, but they couldn't figure out what the puppet regime meant in the eyes of the Han culture.

Why did they immediately give way to Zhao Gou without resisting as soon as they saw Zhao Gou, and immediately became vassals, forgetting that the Jin people and their power and wealth had become rich?

So the Jin people began to move south, the capital also began to move south, the king became the emperor, they needed to learn the Han culture, and later managed the mess that Zhao Gou's bastard threw at them after he ran away.

"What do you think?" The expression on Wan Yanyong's face was slightly moved this time, because what Ye Qing said was the best strategy they could think of.

"Isn't it? Your Majesty, you moved the capital from Huining Mansion in Shangjing to Yanjing City, the central capital, and many people in my Great Song Dynasty will think that this is a signal that Your Majesty is going to continue to invade our Great Song Dynasty in the south, but in the next opinion, it is because Your Majesty has a sense of crisis. Ye Qing said with a smile.

"Go on." Wan Yanyong picked up the teacup again, and at this time, the number of times he served the teacup was obviously several times more than Ye Qing.

"Your Majesty has been deeply concerned that your country, which sacrificed the lives of countless soldiers in exchange for a large area of territory, has not been able to bring untold wealth to your country after the Song court withdrew, as it did when the Song court ruled. And if Your Majesty continues to stay outside Yuguan and takes Huining Mansion as the capital, then the great mountains and rivers of the Central Plains will exist like chicken ribs in the eyes of Your Majesty, and it is a pity to abandon it if it is tasteless. Therefore, if you want to restore the vitality of this Central Plains, let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and let the officials of your country no longer be tired of running for their lives, it is very difficult to do it with your own ability. Therefore, you need to learn to govern the country and society like the Song court, and learn to manage the mountains and rivers and the people like the Song court. Ye Qing continued to analyze his understanding of the current situation of the Jin Kingdom in his heart.

Wan Yanyong picked up the teacup from time to time, and then put it down again, so many back and forth, even the eunuch next to him could feel that His Majesty, who was calm, was full of uneasiness and anxiety in his heart.

But Wan Yan Yong, who can be the monarch of a country, has the title of Xiao Yao Shun, he is naturally able to control his inner emotions very well, put down the teacup that has not yet been brought to his mouth, and said to Ye Qing with a smile: "Then what if I insist on going my own way and vow to include the territory south of the Yangtze River into the territory of Dajin?" ”

"Then the steppe wolf behind you, the powerful Xia Kingdom in the west, will be ready to move, it is very likely that Your Majesty, you have just taken a city in the Song Dynasty, and in this area of the Central Plains, you will lose three cities, which is not cost-effective." Ye Qing said: "What's more, Your Majesty, what you lack now is talent, Your Majesty, you follow the example of the Song Dynasty Imperial Examination, and the officials of the Song people are getting bigger and bigger in your country, not because you are willing to see this scene, but because you know very well that in addition to allowing the Song people to govern themselves can appease the people's hopes for the Song Court as soon as possible, it is because you need time, you need time for the courtiers of your country to learn the culture of the Han people, and then replace the existing Song people as officials, and then you will really think about how to move south and destroy the Song Court." ”

"Yes, few of my courtiers are as capable as the Song people, and they can govern this large territory and city." After Yan Yong laughed self-deprecatingly, he continued: "Dajin is divided according to the area of the Song Court, but even so, there is still a nondescript division of five capitals and nineteen roads, which makes you Song people laugh at the regional division. Since I succeeded to the throne, I have completely abandoned the official system of the Liao people of the past, and no longer use the Liao system in some aspects, and the Song system is convenient to use the Song system, but have begun to study the Song system in its entirety. The reason why I do this is that I hope that one day, my country will be able to prosper like your Great Song Dynasty and last for a hundred years. ”

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and I believe that Your Majesty will one day be able to realize his lofty ambitions." Ye Qing was surprised by Wan Yanyong's humility and honesty.

He didn't expect that a dignified emperor of the Jin Kingdom would dare to talk about his troubles and problems in governing the country and security as if he were in his heart in less than an hour.

"You, Song Chen, are really quite interesting, so suggesting that I and help me analyze the pros and cons of the Jin Kingdom, aren't you afraid that when you return to Lin'an, Zhao Gou will be suspicious of you? Don't forget, as long as I let out a little bit of rumor, when you return to Lin'an, I'm afraid that what awaits you will not be Zhao Gou's courtesy, but Zhao Gou's butcher's knife. Wan Yanyong stood up, stretched and said.

"How could it be, I believe Your Majesty would not act like this. What's more, if His Majesty agrees to reduce the New Year's coin, Ye Qing will be considered a meritorious minister of my Great Song Dynasty, and the Emperor Taishang will never punish me for a little gossip. Ye Qing said with a smile.

I don't know if Yan Yong listened to Ye Qing's words, but I saw Yan Yong looking at the picturesque paradise with flowers and birds, and then said to the eunuch next to him: "Go, let Lord Youcheng come over." ”

In the distance, Qishi Lie Zhining was already waiting for about half a pillar of incense at the other end of the arch bridge, so he also saw Ye Qing and Wan Yan Yong, sitting in the pavilion and talking.

Although I don't know what Wan Yanyong talked about with Ye Qing, looking at the frank and serious expressions of the two, Qishi Lie Zhining believes that no matter what the two talked about, from His Majesty's expression, it can be seen a little, that is, the appreciation of Ye Qing.

When he followed the eunuch to the pavilion, he heard Yan Yong say to Ye Qing: "It's not difficult to reduce the New Year's coins, as long as you can fulfill the promise you promised to Qishi Lie Zhining, I won't care so much about some of the New Year's coins." But I will talk to you about the ugly things in advance, and if you dare to use the cleverness of your Song people to play tricks on my courtiers, I will never spare you. ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, everything you say today is from the bottom of your heart and from the bottom of your heart. Wuzhou's plan can bring wealth to His Majesty, and it is not as simple as wealth. Ye Qing looked at Yan Yong's inquiring gaze after turning his head, and said directly: "The most attractive thing about the Xia people is their smelting method, whether it is the weapons or armor in their hands, compared to the weapon forging method of your country and the Song Dynasty, it is surpassed, so if Your Majesty can ......." ”

"No way. People must know how to be satisfied, and the reduction of New Year's coins is already a great achievement for you Ye Qing. You Song people sent me to the Dajin Kingdom, you are the first to let me receive me like this, and who sees me is not sincerely afraid, respectful, and deeply afraid of offending me. Only you, in the face of me, still dare to criticize my big gold. I didn't pursue you, so you can steal the fun. Wan Yan Yong had already guessed what Ye Qing was going to say next, so he refused without thinking about it.

"Then Ye Qing, thank Your Majesty for your success." Ye Qing hurriedly saluted and said.

As for the words that didn't come out later, it was just a casual look, if Wan Yanyong agreed, or listened to himself, then he really didn't take himself as the emperor seriously.

"Send him out of the palace, if it is really as he said, I can immediately draft an edict and exempt Zhao Gou's New Year's coin. From next year. After finishing speaking, Wan Yanyong left with the two eunuchs without looking back.

"It's ......." Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, looked at the burly back, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, can it take effect immediately, it will be ...... from this year." ”

"If you want the old man to put you into the water and feed Wang Ba immediately, you will continue to shout!" Qishi Lie Zhining said with a calm face.

This is the first time he has seen His Majesty treat a Song envoy like this, but this Song envoy doesn't know what to do, and he even wants to bargain with His Majesty, there is simply no rules.
