Chapter 272: Da Song is very short of money, Li Gang is really strong!
"What is lacking in the Wa Kingdom?"
Zhao Huan keenly sensed the opportunity.
The Great Song Dynasty is very rich, but it is also very short of money, and it is easy to circulate when there is a lack of money in the market.
The Great Song Dynasty strictly forbade private coinage, and once it was discovered, it was full of people, but it still couldn't stop the trend of private minting.
Since the third year of Xuanhe, Zhao Ji played a scorched earth strategy in Jiangnan, and private casting in Jiangnan has become a trend, but there is still a lack of money.
Very short of money.
Whether it is the government or the people, they are frantically making money, copper coins, copper and iron coins, and even iron coins are rampant in the market.
Even so, in the era of private casting, the Great Song Dynasty was still short of money, so there was a paper money that did not conform to the times.
The root of all this is that the commerce and trade of the Great Song Dynasty were extremely developed.
Chengping for a hundred years, the lack of military equipment is a bad result, then commerce and trade are extremely prosperous, which is the positive side, and the Great Song Dynasty is too short of money.
This is also why Zhao Ji cooperated when he promoted the use of money from all walks of life.
They hope to solve the problem of lack of money by relying on the credit of the state to promote the development of paper money.
But Zhao Huan knew deeply that this was a matter of lack of money during the Great Song Dynasty, and it was not possible to rely on sealing, but also on forging.
Each era has the characteristics of each era, although the Great Song Dynasty is very short of money, which has affected the return of trade in various places, but it is still not suitable for the large-scale issuance of paper money.
The people did not have that sense of anti-counterfeiting, and the court did not have any perception of inflation.
No, inflation, who mentioned it in their ears in the first place?
Zhao Huan fell into deep thought, before the royal drive was in person, someone talked to him about the soaring prices and the people's lack of livelihood, so who is coming?
Li Gang thought about it for a while, showed a clear look on his face, and said with a smile: "The official family, there are simply too many things that the country lacks, from people's livelihood to armaments, I don't know what the official family wants to do?" Silver? ”
"It's silver. The Great Song Dynasty now needs large amounts of money to support financial transactions. Zhao Huan replied stunned, and immediately reacted, his words may have been a little awkward to Li Gang, and he immediately said, "The Great Song Dynasty has been short of money for a long time, and silver is scarce in my Great Song Dynasty, and it can be used as a medium for the return of large quantities." ”
Li Gang returned and said, "Official, silver can only be stored in the treasury in my Great Song Dynasty and used to make annual gifts to the north. ”
"However, the official family's battle on Yunzhong Road went smoothly this time, Han Shizhong was in Pingzhou, and he played another scene of closing the door and beating the dog, and the Jin people could only beg for peace. Therefore, it is also feasible for silver to circulate. ”
"The Great Song Dynasty could not trade silver as a large amount of money as the official said, and the most important thing was the lack of production. I don't produce silver in the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Li Gang understood very well and instantly understood the meaning of this large amount of currency.
Zhao Huan nodded, and said with a glint of money in his eyes, "But he is a domestic country!" He is poor and white, and he can make a lot of money by doing anything. ”
"What to sell to the Wakoku?" Li Gang was already frowning and thinking.
How can we correctly take out the silver that existed in the Great Song Dynasty?
Li Gang muttered, "Extremely luxurious, graceful and luxurious luxury." Glass, silk, official kilns, tea, these things that the upper class of the Japanese people like! ”
Zhao Huan thought for a while and said, "There are all kinds of finely forged Buddhist weapons, and some luxurious temple drawings, these things are all good things!" ”
It's all good stuff! An old man and a young man laughed at each other in the Wende Hall.
Whether it is glass, silk, or porcelain from the official kiln, they are all extremely valuable goods, but are these things really useful?
It is something that can only be enjoyed by the upper class, and if they like it, they must exchange it for silver, and the more they will oppress the people.
The upper echelons are the most susceptible to corruption, and these things seem to be harmless, but over time, they are hard to return.
Especially the drawings of the very grand temple that Zhao Huan wants to give to the Wa Kingdom, so do you say that the Buddha statue should be made into gold? You can't forge a good-looking Buddha statue, do you want to use my Great Song Dynasty? Is the roof glazed tiles used?
The glazed tiles under the cherry blossoms glittered in the setting sun, and the emperor and empress paced under the cherry blossom trees, watching the sun set on the horizon and shine in the magnificent temple, and countless devout believers continued to go to the temple.
Oh! What a beautiful picture!
What a spectacle! Wonders mislead the country!
Zhao Huan believed that the royal family of the Wa Kingdom, in the face of the extravagant culture from the Celestial Empire, the lord of the Wa Kingdom, where the village chief fought, would definitely use the greatest strength to build a spectacle.
Zhao Huan suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile, "What, Dazai, you find a painter, the kind that paints landscapes, and paint a painting of "Longxing Temple under the Cherry Blossom Tree", the painting must be beautiful." ”
"The kind of beauty that makes people yearn for it. Sent to the envoy of the Wa Kingdom, this is a strip of water, a testimony of friendship. Zhao Huan bit this piece of water very hard.
It is to bully the Japanese people and have no culture.
"Draw another picture of "The Palace at Sunset", so that the Japanese country and my Great Song Dynasty Huiyi have a strong demand, and then settle in silver."
"Send someone to copy a pair of Zhang Zeduan's "Qingming Riverside Map", so that the soil buns can also see what the Heavenly Empire is."
Li Gang nodded and said, "The minister still has some ideas, the Wa Kingdom has been learning the culture of my Central Plains Dynasty, and the minister wants to ask the official family for permission, and the Wa people will come to my Great Song Dynasty to learn calligraphy, painting, and music theory, and let them go back to educate the Wa Kingdom." ”
Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang and said solemnly, "There are some things that can be learned, and some things that can't be learned by them." In particular, the siege of the city was prepared to prevent any Japanese from approaching. ”
"The upcoming military academy, don't let the Japanese know about it!"
"The minister knows what is important. This is all the science of social artifacts, and he is not worthy of it. Li Gang bowed his head and said.
Although the martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty were not flourishing, it was still an era that paid attention to the debate of Huayi, and Li Gang and other scholars even looked down on the Song Wuren.
Expect the reader to look at the Japanese people? Is it possible?
In fact, the Japanese people have been sending people to the Great Song Dynasty to learn the cultural, economic, military, and armament forging skills of the Great Song Dynasty, but no one has taught them.
A large part of the reason is that the craftsmen do not look down on barbarians very much.
Craftsmen are all secret knowledge that is passed on to men and not women, how can it be passed on to Gentiles?
Therefore, Li Gang's proposal for the Japanese to study in Taixue is simply a supreme honor, that is, to learn calligraphy, painting, and Buddhism......
Zhao Ji's thin gold body is very good-looking.
Zhao Huan felt that Li Gang's move was much more ruthless than himself.
Is this to raise a group of abandoned mansions of Dazhi?
"The official, the minister thinks that the Japanese people will be grateful to Dade, after all, the work of education." Li Gang said with a smile.
Zhao Huan laughed, wonderful.
The forging techniques that are really useful to the Japanese people and the useful learning of governing the country cannot be learned by the Japanese people.
Even Confucianism, which is a sour old nine learning, is in the ranks of prohibition.
He is also unworthy.
The reason why Li Gang and Zhao Huan are in the same boat and conspire with these three countries is actually more out of the test of national interests.
Maritime trade is an important financial income of the Great Song Dynasty, but most of the Japanese are pirates, and Li Gang does not have any psychological pressure on the Yin and Japanese people.
If it weren't for the prime minister of the court, from the perspective of the emperor, and from a certain height, he would think that he Zhao Huan was on good terms with his neighbors, but behind these orders, what kind of plan was there?
It is strange that Dali and Wa Guo have no accidents.
Li Gang felt a little inappropriate and said, "Official, where did you learn these side ways?" Official, gentleman to..."
Zhao Huan interrupted Li Gang's words of advice and said, "When Shao Bao left, he kept telling me to be more insidious and ruthless. Now is an eventful autumn, my Great Song Dynasty has just Juntian, the more chaotic others, the more stable the frontier, whether it is seeking the country or the land, it needs to be upright and upright. ”
"I know, Shao Bao also knows, but this is all expedient, until my Great Song Dynasty becomes strong again! If you don't respect the country, the heavenly soldiers are coming! This is the right way. ”
"I am in Yunzhong Road, and I have a few killing moves in my hand in Yanjing Road, and I have never used any of them."
"Win! Upright! ”
"But Da Song needs time. That's what Li Dazai told me. ”
Li Gang bowed his head and said, "The official's heart is like a mirror hanging, and the minister doesn't say much. But the inscription is not the royal family, nor is it the good deed of the imperial country. I hope the official family knows. ”
"When the minister is here, he can still persuade the official family and stop the official family, if the minister leaves, the official family will be in three provinces that day. Think twice before you act. ”
Li Gang's voice was full of embarrassment, Zhao Huan's scalp was numb, and sending away a kind of Shaobao had already made Zhao Huan very embarrassed, what kind of frustrating words did Li Gang say!
"Dazai is only forty-three years old, don't say anything discouraged." Zhao Huan knows the mouths of these ministers, and a few words can make people's emotions change.
"The official family, the minister has an invitation, that is, the envoys of the three kingdoms participated in the ceremony of the Emperor Taishang. This gives them enough respect. and also calmed the mind of the messenger. I wonder what the officials think? Li Gang asked.
Zhao Huan nodded, he delegated power to the prime minister, do you still need to ask about such trivial things?
"Official, the emperor can't be killed." Li Gang said suddenly.
Zhao Huan glared at Li Gang, and then he knew that this guy was going around and talking about Yanjing City and the envoys of the Three Kingdoms with himself, it was all fart!
Seeing the poor dagger, after the idle nonsense was finished, the topic turned to the emperor, and this topic could naturally be expanded.
"Zhao Ying, you go first." Zhao Huan waved his hand to let Zhao Ying go down.
Since frequent accidents in the palace, Zhao Huan's daily life is Zhao Ying, and the five eunuchs who went north with him are in charge.
Therefore, there are no eye-catching characters in the Wende Palace, and Zhao Huan believes that this group of eunuchs will not spread today's words everywhere.
But when discussing the matter of the Emperor Taishang next, even the third person can't know at all, even Zhao Ying.
"Aren't you afraid that I will kill you? I've said it all, don't talk about it if you don't talk about it. Li Dazai is such a smart person, do you still need me to say more? I know you want to talk about the Emperor. Zhao Huan was cold, he looked at Li Gang and asked.
Li Gang felt the temperature in the hall a little, and said with a smile, "The official family won't kill me, first, I can't help it, how can it be so easy to find a prime minister." The second is that the minister feels that the official family is also hesitating in his heart. ”
"The Emperor really can't die."
"In the past, Yang Guang killed his father and brother, and he was infamous by Emperor Yang through the ages. The official family is my great Song Dynasty Emperor of the world, and the Northern Expedition of the Jin people is unsurpassed. Officials, don't waste your wisdom because of trivial things. He Zhao Ji is not worthy. ”
Li Gang really dared to say anything, and directly said Zhao Ji's name.
"That doesn't convince me." Zhao Huan shook his head, he didn't care about reputation, Zhao Ji didn't die, it meant that the old forces were not dead, Zhao Huan didn't want his people to die, and the Great Song Dynasty fell into the dead cycle of the past.
"Zhao Ji he must die, he doesn't die, my Great Song has no future. I have made up my mind. Zhao Huan did not hesitate to reject this issue of leaving a name in history, and did not kill Zhao Ji.
What the Great Song Dynasty needed was a reform that left no room for improvement.
And Zhao Ji is the representative of the old school, only by physically destroying him, then the Great Song Dynasty will have a future.
Li Gang shook his head and said, "Li Shimin, the former Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, only forced Gaozu Li Yuan to abdicate, and he was placed under house arrest in the palace. Emperor Taishang, a wasted man who has lost his power, what waves can he make? ”
"The government is criticized, the ministers are unstable, and the official family is not conducive to the government. The Great Song Dynasty is also unstable, and the people of the world all regard the official family as the monarch's father, the monarch's father kills his father, and the dynasty collapses, which is not conducive to my Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Please think twice."
Zhao Huan still shook his head, discussing historical figures from any historical background, it was impossible to stand any footsteps.
Li Shimin's time was the beginning of the new country, and everything was thriving, what kind of martial arts did Li Shimin have, and what waves could Li Yuan make?
This is the last year of the Northern Song Dynasty, how can I continue to do things if I don't completely eliminate the old school?
"Official, do you know Liu Yilong, the former Taizu of the Song Dynasty?" Li Gang spoke again.
Li Gang, wait a minute, isn't Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin? Is it too much for you to directly change Song Taizu's name and surname?
Historical events remind Liu Yilong of the Southern and Northern Dynasties of China, the third emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, the temple name Taizu, and the name Emperor Wen. He devoted his life to the Northern Expedition, intending to end the era of the Great Division, but the failure of the Northern Expedition in his later years led to the depression of Liu Song's national strength.
And Liu Yilong was also killed by Liu Xun, the crown prince of twenty years, which opened the chaos of the Liu Song Dynasty, with frequent changes of emperors, and was finally replaced by the powerful minister Xiao Daocheng and established the Southern Qi Dynasty.
Zhao Huan looked at Liu Song's information and felt amazing.
Liu Song is actually a dynasty established by the Hanmen Shu clan, and it is the only dynasty in Chinese history that is in charge of the Hanmen, and people like Xie Lingyun and Zu Chongzhi are all Liu Song people.
There are also "New Sayings of the World" and "Book of the Later Han" were also written in the Liu and Song dynasties.
Tsk, that's amazing.
"The official family, Liu Xun killed his father and replaced him, the government collapsed, the emperor changed very frequently, and finally exhausted the last trace of luck, and this Liu Xun later generations also called the culprit, thief, and anti-Xun. No historical book of the former Song Dynasty has ever recognized Liu Xun's throne. ”
"The notoriety of killing the father, the poor and the extremely rebellious, the opening up is unheard, since the birth of the people, the disaster has not been heard, and the officials think twice." Li Gang bowed his head and said.
Zhao Huan shook his head and said, "I don't care what name the history books arrange for me. I don't care. What I want is the peace of the country and the people, and the peace of the four seas. The people are rich and fruitful, and their labor is rewarding, and it is enough to live and work in peace and contentment. ”
Li Gang seemed to guess that Zhao Huan was going to say this, and said with a sad face, "That official, Zhao Gou is planning to be self-reliant in the south, and the emperor is dead, doesn't Zhao Gou have the righteousness to avenge his father?" Teach people what they do! You can't do it. ”
Zhao Huan pondered for a long time, nodded and said, "Reasonable." ”
Even if he is dissatisfied with what Zhao Ji has done in the past twenty-six years, he can't spell the collapse of the values of the Great Song Dynasty and physically eliminate Zhao Ji.
He Zhao Ji is really not worthy of pulling Da Song to accompany the funeral.
