Chapter 388 On Carbon
"Of course there is, if not, if I am not completely sure, how dare I casually ask your country to reduce my Great Song Dynasty's annual tribute to your country? How dare I break into Lord Shi's mansion alone, I'm not impatient. Ye Qing said solemnly.
And Qishi Liezhi sprinkled all the fish food in his hand into the pond next to him, and then his eyes shifted from the pond to Ye Qing's body from the fish that jumped out of the water happily because of the food.
He looked at Ye Qing quietly for a long time, until the water surface next to him returned to calm, and then he slowly spoke: "My Dajin is not short of money, not to mention that if you have a way to make a country rich, how can you not implement it in your Song Kingdom, but you have to run thousands of miles to my Dajin and let me Dajin implement it, such a thing, if you Ye Qing, don't you think it's strange?" ”
"Not strange, not at all." Ye Qing said firmly: "One side of the water and soil supports the other side, the land of Shangjing Huining Mansion is still black land, but Yanjing is still yellow earth. So some wealth, I don't have the Great Song Dynasty, but it is urgently needed, and the Great Gold has it, but it is empty-handed Baoshan does not know it, if there is a suitable method, as long as there is a suitable method, not only my Great Song Dynasty will be thirsty for knowledge, that is, the Xia Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom far to the west, and the Tatars on the grassland, will also be thirsty for knowledge, and at that time, Dajin will not worry about no wealth, and will not be richer than my Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Only my Dajin has it?" Qishi Liezhi had a straight face, and there was a little excitement in his heart.
After all, everyone wants to have a unique fertile land, and how many tribes eventually became extinct when they competed for the most fertile grassland.
Just like the Tatars on the steppe now, the life-and-death struggle between tribes has never stopped for the sake of the fertile steppe.
Therefore, if there is one thing that is unique to Dajin, then it will be beneficial and harmless for Daikin to consolidate its hegemony and deter the Xia Kingdom, the Tatars, and the Great Song Dynasty.
Ye Qing looked at Qishi Lie Zhining seriously, although Qishi Lie Zhining had a trace of heartbeat at the moment, but Ye Qing did not dare to be careless at all, after all, under Qishi Lie Zhining's heart-warming expression, there was still a hidden sense of vigilance.
I'm afraid that's all because of the Song people, who are deep in the city, good at playing tricks, and good at intrigue, are afraid of being used, so even in the face of great temptation, Qi Shi Lie Zhining's heart will maintain a trace of calmness and clarity.
"To be exact, it is only in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and there are other places, but there are very few. What's more, they don't know how to take a lot at all, and I do, but I don't. Ye Qing's eyes looked at Qi Shi Lie Zhining's solemn gaze honestly and said.
"Are you sure...... Isn't this a conspiracy of your Song court? Are you trying to take advantage of my Dajin again? For some reason, Qishi Lie Zhining suddenly became not in a hurry, but picked up the teacup and savored it carefully.
In fact, he had already guessed what Ye Qing was talking about, so at this moment, he was so calm, because it was indeed as Ye Qing said, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures could be said to be really unique to these things.
"Your country plundered half of my Great Song Dynasty back then, and once supported two puppet courts, why?" Ye Qing was not in a hurry, and asked with a deep breath.
"Because the Song people are too cunning and treacherous, you can say the same sentence in eight different ways, I have suffered too many losses and fallen too much. So....... ”
Qishi Lie Zhining didn't feel that this kind of thing made him lose face and made the Dajin court lose its majesty, and continued: "So in order not to be fooled and not to suffer losses, we have to adopt the method of governing your Song people by your Song people. Only in this way will my Dajin officials not be overwhelmed, and they will not be played by your Song people. As long as you control a small number of your Song people, give them officials, give them the fame and fortune that they love the most and pursue all their lives, you can make them dutifully and do their best to govern you Song people for my Dajin, isn't this bad? ”
Ye Qing looked at Qishi Lie Zhining with a calm expression, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, after all, what Qishi Lie Zhining said was not wrong at all.
Not to mention the Song people of this era, even in the period of the previous life, didn't the little devil adopt the same strategy when he invaded China? Let the Chinese people govern the Chinese people, let them govern and oppress their own compatriots.
In order to achieve the dual purpose of politics and management, so that they do not have to deal with the Song people who have a seven-trick exquisite heart for these things, but hand them over to the Song people, and let them rectify each other, as if killing each other.
There are some sad facts, which makes Ye Qing helpless, but also has to think, whose fault is this?
"So, Lord Shi, what are you afraid of? That kind of thing is unique to Dajin, and it won't run on its own long legs, so it will naturally be up to you to have the final say with your country when the time comes, doesn't Lord Shi feel that his worries are a bit unfounded? Ye Qing asked rhetorically.
If the old man's memory is correct, the Tang Dynasty Bai Juyi has already written: "Selling charcoal, cutting and burning charcoal in the South Mountain" Such a poem is obviously also available in Zhongnan Mountain, why does Lord Ye say that it is unique to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun? Qishi Lie Zhining asked lightly.
"People are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the wood is divided into pear and red sandalwood. What's more, compared to the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zhongnan Mountain can be said to be a small thing, and if you dare to say so, there is naturally evidence to prove that the sixteen states of Yanyun must have their unique advantages. And presumably Lord Shi should also know that the soap, candles and other things you use today are all made by me Ye Qing. So, how can you joke about this kind of thing? Ye Qing was not surprised that Qishi Lie Zhining had guessed what he was talking about.
Carbon is no longer a new thing, not to mention Shen Kuo's "Dream Creek Writings", even oil can be sorted out, what is carbon still a new thing?
But knowing is the same thing as popularization, and how to exploit it on a large scale, just like the problem we've all encountered, knowing it's there, but we don't have a better way to get it.
The same is true of today's carbon, firewood is still a common item for people to light a fire for heating, boiling water for cooking, and for carbon, it is obviously not as good as firewood, which can be used by people.
"It takes a lot of manpower and material resources, and even if you can take more of it, where do you get so many people to help you mine? Is it possible for me Dajin to exploit you Song people under the governance of Dajin again? The corners of Qishi Lie Zhining's mouth showed a disdainful smile.
Sure enough, the Song people still need the Song people to govern, isn't Ye Qing's method a good way to govern the Song with the Song Dynasty? If it was feasible, of course he wouldn't mind, let Ye Qing take the Song people as the mainstay, and go to mine black stone for them and create wealth for Dajin.
"Definitely." Ye Qing shook his head and said, "Since Dajin wants to get the hundred-year-old Sheji, it is obvious that the Song people in my northern land are Dajin
The fundamental ...... of the country. ”
"So Master Ye thinks that people can be born out of thin air?" Zhang Xuansu, as the head of the household, naturally knew clearly that if carbon could be mined in large quantities, then the value it brought could not be compared with the small amount of money in the Song Dynasty.
"Sitting on Baoshan and not knowing it, the Tatars on the grassland are still relying on burning cow dung and horse dung for the winter, whether it is the grassland or your country's hometown, when I am still in the south of the Yangtze River, your country and the grassland are already flying with goose feathers and heavy snow. Every year the Tatars do not know how many tribes lose their original pastures for the sake of pastures, and are either annexed by large tribes or displaced and have no place to go, ranging from small tribes of three to five hundred people and as large as three or five thousand tribes. Your country is also its superior country, if it is a combination of grace and power, and there is no one to create wealth for Daikin? Ye Qing tapped his fingers on the table and said lightly.
Qishi Lie Zhining's gaze swept over Ye Qing's fingers on the table, sighed heavily, thought for a while and said, "You can be regarded as a good lobbyist, but the old man can't give you an answer immediately, the old man needs to think about it." And...... Even if the soap and candles are made for you, and the Yuan You Armillary Sphere on the upper floor of the Jiahui Gate City is also restored by you, although it is convincing, but seeing is believing, if you can't see that you can make it meet the requirements, I am afraid that it will be difficult to reduce the annual tribute, and Lord Ye, you will also have to bear the trust of Zhao Gou. ”
"Lord Shi didn't have to be agitated, even if he mentioned it below, he didn't plan to stand idly by. What's more, I don't have any plans to ...... There will be a chance to leave your country in a short time. Ye Qing put a reassuring pill on Qishi Lie Zhining.
Qishi Lie Zhining nodded with a satisfied expression, the smile on his face was a little more than just now, and said with a smile: "Even if Lord Ye has such an awareness, then the old man will be relieved." But I don't know where Lord Ye thinks Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are the most suitable? ”
"Wuzhou is the first, and Confucianism is the second." Ye Qing said firmly.
"Where did Lord Ye come from when he said this?" Qishi Lie Zhining asked.
"It has long been recorded in "Mengxi Written Talk" that at the beginning, my Great Song Dynasty was willing to spend money to redeem the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Lord Shi, do you think that the intention of guarding against your country was more, or did you want more wealth?" Ye Qing threw out a bait that was enough to make Qishi Lie Zhining let go of all his guards.
The Song court is now hedonistic, luxury, the treasury is abundant, and the status of merchants is the highest in history, whether it is the court or the people, for wealth, for money, for the pursuit of pleasure, even Qishi Lie Zhining has to sigh, the wealth of the Song court is far from being comparable to the Jin State.
Therefore, such a court that pursued wealth to the extreme, wanted to spend money to buy back the sixteen states of Yanyun, was it for strategic significance, or for the wealth of coal? This made Qishi Lie Zhining have to reconsider and rethink in his heart at this moment.
And Zhang Xuansu on the side, when he heard Ye Qing talk about Wuzhou and Confucianism, he couldn't help frowning, and then a trace of anxiety flashed between his expressions, as if he wanted to immediately send heavy troops to guard these two places, so as not to be anxious about being taken first by others.
Ye Qing looked at Zhang Xuansu's expression in his eyes, under the calm surface, Ye Qing breathed a heavy sigh of relief in his heart, as long as the Jin people began to think, then they would definitely agree, and as long as they agreed to mine the carbon of the two states, then ...... Your plan is the most important first step! (https:)
