Zhao Zhen's attack on the Liao Dynasty is undoubtedly quite comprehensive, both militarily and economically enough to break the foundation of the Liao Dynasty, this is Zhao Zhen's long-planned plan, which can destroy the Liao Dynasty to the greatest extent.

Who said that commerce can't be a country's weapon, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty are almost the most powerful merchants in the world, as long as the Song people can reach the place where the footsteps can reach, the goods of the Great Song Dynasty will be well received there, and the Central Plains Dynasty is rich in the people, and there are few things that can hinder the Great Song Dynasty in this era.

The trade surplus of imports and exports became a powerful and invisible weapon of the Great Song Dynasty, and sometimes it was even more destructive than gunpowder.

There are not many people in the Liao Dynasty who can see the secrets of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao Emperor Yeluzong really instinctively thinks that the Great Song Dynasty Heavy Business is self-abandoning martial arts, wolves eat meat, sheep eat grass, the Great Song Dynasty is a sheep that eats grass, even if it is fat, it is just a meal on the plate of the Liao Dynasty, the wealth of the Song people is at his fingertips in his eyes, the money earned from the Great Liao today, tomorrow the Great Liao will be able to let the Great Song Dynasty come back, and the compensation of the Great Song Dynasty after the Battle of Tanyuan is a lot!

Xiao Hui looked at His Majesty who didn't care, and he was also worried in his heart, was his old friend Zhang Jian wrong, or His Majesty was wrong?

In his opinion, His Majesty's words are reasonable, what if the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty are rich? It's just a lamb to the slaughter, and now let them run rampant, and one day all their wealth will become something of Da Liao, this statement seems to be fine, it can be seen that Your Majesty has not thought about it.

But...... Zhang Jian's idea is also no problem, after all, the impact of the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty on the Great Liao is also very great, the Great Liao has almost no own goods to sell to the Great Song Dynasty, the craftsmen who were originally good at making porcelain have all stopped re-engaging in the old business, and the cylinder tile kiln village famous for burning porcelain in the Great Liao has also changed to no longer engage in porcelain firing, because the porcelain of the Great Song Dynasty is abundant and cheap......

Xiao Hui couldn't see the Tao in it, but Zhang Jian saw it and asked to see the emperor with a lot of utensils.

Xiao Hui is neutral, he himself doesn't know whether to support His Majesty or Zhang Jian, but one thing he knows is that the emperor's decision cannot be changed!

Yelu Zongzhen looked at Zhang Jian and the pile of ordinary utensils in front of him and asked strangely: "Prime Minister Zuo, what do you mean by holding these peasant utensils?" ”

After Zhang Jian bowed down and saluted, he sorted out the utensils on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, please see, this is an iron hoe, an iron rake, a dang, and other things, as for the iron plow, it is inconvenient for ministers to bring it." In addition, there are gilt, gilt, dyeing and weaving, horse harness and other things, please Your Majesty to see! ”

Yeluzong really walked down the steps curiously, in order to increase his knowledge and compete with the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, he put a lot of effort, he naturally knew these things, but Zhang Jian must have his deep meaning when he put these things on the main hall.

"Of course I know these things, can these things have anything to do with the Song people?"

Zhang Jian nodded heavily: "Yes, Your Majesty!" These things are all from the hands of Song businessmen! Even these farm tools were sold to me by the Song people! ”

Yelu Zong is really not stupid, and after thinking about it for a while, he feels incredible: "How is this possible! Although the price of these iron farm tools is not cheap, the cost is not low! With the shrewdness of the Song people, how could they transport these things all the way to my Daliao for sale? Isn't it cheaper to sell it locally? Besides, if it is more expensive than my Daliao craftsman, wouldn't it be a bamboo basket to draw water? ! ”

Zhang Jian smiled bitterly: "That being said, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty still have enough benefits, otherwise how can they sell in my Daliao?" ”

Even Xiao Hui didn't believe it, picked up the saddle on the ground and said, "This is the saddle of the Song people?" Why does the old man look exactly the same as my Da Liao's Khitan saddle?! ”

At this time, even Yelu Zongzhen was not calm, took the saddle handed by Xiao Hui and looked at it carefully and said: "Could it be that the craftsmanship of the Great Song Dynasty is so exquisite, it is completely comparable to the craftsmanship of my Great Liao?!" ”

Zhang Jian pointed to the Khitan saddle in front of him and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, if your subordinates don't say it, can you tell if this is the Great Song Dynasty or my Great Liao?" ”

Yelu Zongzhen shook his head: "I really can't see the difference, and even more than that, the lines and colors on it are more exquisite and delicate than those made by my Da Liao, and the ones used are actually cowhide!" Could it be that the Great Song Dynasty could slaughter ploughing cattle? ”

Zhang Jian sighed and said: "This matter is a long story, the Song people and merchants sold the goods to Tianzhu, and then transported back from Tianzhu to ploughing cattle, cowhides, cow tendons and other things, Tianzhu's cattle are many and strong, of course, they are willing to exchange for the goods of the Great Song Dynasty, although the road is far away, but the sea ships of the Great Song Dynasty are all over the world......

Yelu Zong really smiled: "It turns out that it is the way of the merchant again, and the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is not Erer. ”

Zhang Jian shook his head: "Your Majesty, don't look at the way of Shang Jia first, although this is a small way, but it has a miraculous effect, now the Great Song Dynasty is strong, and it is inseparable from this small road, and such a small way can not only enrich the country, but also fight against dissidents, my Da Liao is now under the control of the Song people!" ”

This made Yelu Zong really disagree, and Xiao Hui said even more dissatisfied: "Zhang Jian, you are growing up others to destroy your own prestige!" The way of a businessman is just to make money, how can he be on the table? My Da Liao pursues the way of survival of the grassland, and my Da Liao Emperor uses the way of the emperor, which is stronger than the Great Song Emperor, and he Zhao Zhen is just a pawn of a peddler! ”

Xiao Hui's words made Yelu Zong really feel very comfortable, that's right, he is the emperor of Daliao, the emperor of the most powerful empire in the four seas and eight wildernesses!

"Forget it, Prime Minister Zuo has good intentions, although he is a little cautious, but it is just a precaution."

After speaking, he pointed to the things on the ground and said: "Although these things are taken by the Great Song Dynasty, can he still sell them to the Liao Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty, if not, we will use the war knife to get them!" ”

Yelu Zongzhen's appearance does have the domineering spirit that Emperor Liao should have, but Zhang Jian smiled bitterly in his heart, how could the Great Song Dynasty be so easy to conquer at this time? !

Slightly weakly getting up, Zhang Jian picked up these things and handed them to the eunuch and said, "Help the old man send them back to the house." ”

Although the waiter was disdainful in his heart, he still respectfully took it and retreated, the dignified Prime Minister Zuo was actually reluctant to give up on these farm tools, and he didn't know where his bearing went, didn't he say that the prime minister could support the boat in his belly?

Yelu Zongzhen obviously didn't want to dwell too much on this kind of "trivial matter", so he looked at Xiao Hui and said, "How is the preparation of the Southwest Road Recruitment Division?" ”

Seeing that His Majesty had brought the topic to military affairs, Xiao Hui hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, the Southwest Road Recruitment Division is ready to go, the Tiande Army, the Heqing Army, and the Jinsu Army are ready to respond, just waiting for Your Majesty to recruit in person!" ”

Hearing the word pro-conquest, Zhang Jian was full of discomfort, in his opinion, His Majesty has no need to pro-conquest at all, the emperor has no choice but to go, after all, he represents the sky, victory is understandable, defeat ...... But you can't be defeated!
