At the same time, those powerful and wealthy businessmen in the Great Song Dynasty who could use their power to give priority to corn seeds, knowing that the scarcity of corn at this time was a good opportunity to make huge profits, and they showed loyalty and patriotism in the court, and vowed never to allow the seeds to flow out to the two kingdoms of Liaoxia and Xia, but they desperately scavenged seeds through various channels to make money. Due to the shortage of seeds, the promotion of the Great Song Dynasty was becoming more and more weak and slow, and Zhao Gonglian hated that he couldn't slaughter all the traitors of the Great Song Dynasty at once.

This kind of evil fruit so that the two countries of Liaoxia and Liaoxia tasted the sweetness of extensive planting corn in a timely and powerful manner, when asking the Great Song Dynasty for the annual tribute, the envoy in the Great Song Dynasty specially said in public that corn is a good thing, good planting, the yield is extremely high, people eat full and sweet, horses eat stronger and faster, the seeds here in our country are not enough, you put the corn seeds in the tribute this time, and give more. Anyway, you don't have war horses to eat corn, so you don't need to leave so many seeds to plant so much.

At that time, the rulers of the Great Song Dynasty, including Emperor Zhao Ji, were threatened and slapped in the face, and they were very angry, but this did not mean that they had woken up.

After that, they will soon forget this lesson automatically, and will still adhere to the Confucian style of justice, benevolence, and morality, rather than the national interests and national interests as the core first, and will still show the demeanor of a great power, regardless of inside and outside, generous to the interests of the country and the people, satisfy the vanity of the 'international friends' for private praise, and use the fruits of the people's hard work, sweat and wisdom, and the material advantages on which the nation depends, to assist those weak countries that are so-called obedient and supportive. These weak countries who are seeking profits from left and right in the powerful countries continue to play tricks and repeatedly betray and slap their faces, but they persist in persisting, and they have no regrets.

Because the people firmly ruled by Confucianism have a spiritual Tao that cannot be overcome, and the heavens composed of human moral standards and mythical sages are most fond of believing in emulating the ancients, and are keen to recall the glory of the past rather than concentrating their spirit and strength to venture into the future.

You see, the powerful and incomparable Tang Empire is generous and fair to the weak countries of the vassal states, which is the national style of the traditional recognition and praise of the ancient sages, how can we not believe in and abide by it?

To deny the doctrine of the sages is to deny the core of our nation's civilization and spirit, and to disrespect our ancestors.

Speaking of the root cause, if the Han nation has removed the lofty and empty moral doctrines of the sages of its predecessors, because there is no real scientific and philosophical system, let alone the great scientific and technological contributions recognized by the world, once the glorious history of the nation is traced, there will be nothing to boast about to the outside world. This is very shameful for a large country with a long history.

Therefore, even if we realize that it is a wrong national concept, we must adhere to it. Not to mention not realizing it.

You can't deny yourself. Denying oneself is not conducive to the rule of the foolish people.

The ruler of the Han Dynasty can shamelessly admit his mistakes to foreign countries, and he can kneel to foreign countries, but he will never admit his mistakes and apologize to his own people.

This characteristic will continue to be a long, long time into the future, and will not be fundamentally changed by the progress of society and the development of civilization.

Therefore, Goryeo deceived corn, and then easily deceived other excellent crops of the Great Song Dynasty with one mouth.

Cangzhao rose to sea power, and had advanced consciousness, quietly paid attention to collecting crops from all over the world in the ocean trade, and brought them back to Zhaozhuang for trial planting, and then promoted them to the Great Song Dynasty. Goryeo followed closely with the Great Song and benefited a lot. The peninsular country is proud of this.

At the same time, the Wa Kingdom did not benefit in this regard.

During this period, the Wa Kingdom was known as the Heian period in Japanese history, and the so-called emperor was the supreme ruler, but in fact he did not have much real power like the king of Goryeo. The country was controlled by the Tenggen clan and the other three major families, and like Goryeo, the local power was huge. The struggle between the wealthy families within the imperial court, between the Han court and the localities, was extremely fierce.

Teng Yuan's is very interesting, engaging in the Ming and Qing dynasties' set of closed country policies, strictly prohibiting people from going to sea to travel far away. The Great Song Dynasty's public and commercial exchanges with the Japanese and the ships that wanted to smuggle to the Japanese were deliberately intercepted and cleaned up by the Cangzhao Navy, deliberately cutting off the exchanges between the Japanese and the Song Dynasty. The new crops brought by Cangzhao did not have the share of the Wa Kingdom.

Otherwise, Da Song's profits on new crops will be slower and less.

These two island countries are very close to Jeju Island, and it is very convenient and fast to provide materials, so they have to try to get the food needed by the military islands from these two places. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that there is a relatively peaceful environment for food production in both places.

At the same time, if they do not attack and threaten these two island countries, when the Northern Army of the two island countries is just a common pirate who drifts and settles on the desert island of Jeju, they will not regard the Northern Army as a big danger that must be eliminated at all costs, and they will not find ways to constantly attack Jeju Island. At that time, the Northern Army, which was still very weak, relied on a strong navy to protect the island, and it was able to obtain a critical stage of stable development and growth on the island.

Otherwise, although the two island countries lack powerful warships and have no lethal threat to the navy of the Northern Army, there is no shortage of personnel who are good at naval warfare, and even if they rely on a small fleet of boats, or even a simple wooden platoon, with the advantage of being familiar with this sea area and having a large number of people, they will venture across the sea to constantly sneak attack and harass them, and they will cause incurable troubles and constant losses to the still weak Northern Army, and the Northern Army will fall into an unfavorable situation of passive defense and exhaustion.

Similar to the Great Song Dynasty, the Goryeo people who were corrupt and cowardly and did not dare to go out and take risks also returned the favor, and after a painful blow and the loss was too great, they generally chose to give in and give in, and automatically abandon this desolate island that was not important to Goryeo.

The Wa Kingdom is different.

It was an important birthplace of pirates.

This sea wolf has the genes of boldness, madness, cruelty and cunning in his bones, unlike the Korean people who were softened and numbed by Confucianism and Buddhism learned from the Han people, and is the only race and country in the world that combines Confucianism and Buddhism with wolf nature relatively perfectly, and obtains the deceptive practical national characteristics of a strong nation and a strong country.

When the Northern Army was weak, it was unwise to become mortal enemies with this sea wolf prematurely, fighting endlessly, and being constantly consumed and dragged down.

In addition, these two island countries are still nominally subordinate states of the Great Song Dynasty, and they can't deal with the pirates of Jeju Island by themselves, so they will think of using the power of the Great Song Dynasty who likes to be the head of the injustice to achieve their goals, and when they need to use the Great Song Dynasty, they will send envoys to the Great Song Dynasty to make a deferential and pitiful gesture, sing praises and praise virtues, and ask the Great Song to send troops.

As far as the stupid/coercive nature of the Great Song Dynasty's vanity and arrogance, to help the island country deal with the Liao State, it definitely doesn't have the courage to be bullish.

But to help deal with the pirates, the Great Song Dynasty must show the demeanor of the heaven/dynasty country, and very generously and generously send heavy troops to attack Jeju Island at its own expense, and failed miserably, not only will it not learn a lesson, and it will be wise to stop in time and withdraw from this kind of war that has nothing to do with the interests of the country and its own nation, but because of the loss of face in front of the little brother of the island country, it will definitely mobilize heavy troops and elite sailors to fight again to save the face of the kingdom of heaven / dynasty, at this time it is very courageous, and it is also very generous to waste military resources and military spending. If you don't destroy the pirates or you are defeated and you really don't have the strength to fight again, you won't give up easily.

In view of the above reasons, after successfully occupying Jeju Island, Zhao Yue restrained the northern army from engaging in these two island countries.

In order to maintain a stable development environment, according to overseas bases, it is the best strategy to constantly raid and loot and weaken the strong enemy Liaojin and train troops with the advantage of warships.

There is no need to plunder by aggression, but naturally plunder by advanced economic means.

In recent years, the small life of the rulers of the Japanese state has also been quite pleasant.

In the far South China Sea, a powerful country that has learned and mastered the language and civilization of the Great Song Dynasty has risen, with developed navigation technology and convenient geographical location, and has used ocean trade to get many good things from the West and resell them to China, so that our rulers can enjoy the comfortable pleasures that they have never heard of before and cannot be bought with money.

This country is in the far south, it does not threaten our territory, it brings too many benefits, it is strong in force but does not invade us, it is friendly, it is our friend.

This is the understanding of the rulers of the Wei State of the Cangzhao Empire, and it is also Zhao Yue's evil taste of using the advanced consciousness of the times to play the other way to return to the other, and to repay the Wei State with the means of harming China in the previous life, so that this ungrateful sea wolf nation can taste the tragic taste of being played by the Chinese.

The target of Zhao Yue's plundering of the Wa Kingdom was rich resources such as gold, silver, and sulfur, followed by grain and vegetables.

The goods shipped by the empire to the Wa Kingdom were unique, extremely expensive luxury consumables and favorite sweets produced cheaply by the technological means of the times.

He was well aware of the characteristics of rulers in non-democratic times and the characteristics of wealthy people.

For the ruler, money is not a problem, after spending it and then looting from the people, no matter how expensive things are, it is not a problem, I can enjoy it, what others can't get, I can get it, I am the most majestic and have the most face, this is the most important thing.

It is precisely the time when the Wa Kingdom did not lack gold and silver resources.

Zhao Yue instructed the mineral exploration professionals of the empire to enthusiastically help the magnates of the Japanese kingdom to accurately and quickly find the gold and silver and other minerals in the jurisdiction to make a windfall according to his historical memory and the technical means he taught, and sold or even half sold and half sold a large number of prisoners of war and slaves obtained by the empire to conquer the surrounding savage islands as mining labor for the powerful and powerful of the Japanese state, so that the magnates could develop and utilize the resources of the jurisdiction at a lower price, and have a steady stream of gold and silver to support the purchase of luxury goods.

Pleasure and comparison are the most powerful, the most addictive and difficult to extricate themselves, and for the whole society, the effect is more powerful than drugs/drugs.

Not to mention the savages of the Wa Kingdom at this time, even the rulers of the Great Song Dynasty who had a certain amount of insight and reason could not resist this kind of power.

During this period, the Wa State consisted of many small princely states and powerful forces, each with its own government, loose political system, and weak state rule. The central rule under the leadership of the Teng Yuan clan was extremely corrupt and absurd, and it was a struggle with the Goryeo Lee family in this regard, and the family took the lead in the frenzied pursuit of corruption and depravity.

The Japanese country has the right and rich to naturally compete desperately to pursue the luxury goods sold by Cangzhao, desperately enjoying, I am afraid that I will not be able to enjoy all the pleasures I can get in this short life, and I will live up to the wealth and glory of this life given by Aunt Amaterasu, in order to get more money to buy luxury goods, the people under the rule will naturally desperately loot, squeeze it clean, and cannot be scavenged, and there is no or lack of gold and silver mineral resources in the jurisdiction, so it will be allowed to seize other jurisdictions by force, if its own power is not enough, Naturally, they will collude with alliances with similar conditions in their jurisdictions to deal with neighboring powerful princes or powers. Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, shrimp alliance against small fish, small fish alliance against eat big fish, so there are constant fights and disputes.

This is a murderous nation, it is a devil to outsiders, and it is still cruel to its own people, and in this environment it becomes more and more ferocious, and the princes and heroes continue to create more appalling bloody cases as if they were competing for profits.

In the same way, in order to have better pleasure and greater benefits, the Japanese people could not use the habitual banditry behavior to grab the goods from the tyrannical Cangzhao caravan, let alone threaten, and immediately turned the wolf into a dog after suffering heavy losses again and again.

The Cangzhao merchant group took advantage of these traitors who hated to sell their parents in exchange for benefits and pleasures, and found skilled blacksmiths, carpenters, shipwrights, etc., for various reasons such as repairing ships

With the help of the traitors, they slowly tempted or forcibly kidnapped the potential talents of the Japanese technical talents, and incorporated them into the relevant industries of the empire

Under the overall social trend of mercenary and crazy extravagance and money worship, even if there are half of the outstanding people with a long-term vision, strong self-control, and who are willing to enjoy less, they will only be despised and beaten by the society as fools.

The wolf nature is more than the dog nature, and the country is enjoying the destructive pleasure. There is far more dog nature than wolf nature, and the vanity and frivolity of the Great Song School, and the weaker will to resist temptation Goryeo is even more ridiculous.

Zhao Yue looked at history and saw it clearly, so he did not prevent Goryeo from obtaining many new grain crops from the Great Song Dynasty.

The Cangzhao merchant group was another strategy against Goryeo, not earning gold, silver and copper coins that Goryeo lacked the support of mineral resources, and using cheap production of luxury goods and new technology to process carved gems from other countries, mainly exchanging grain and coal from Goryeo.

In this way, Goryeo did not suffer from a financial crisis due to a shortage of money, and then resisted the trade of the merchants, but on the contrary, it seemed that there was more wealth, and the rulers of Goryeo were more and more welcoming to trade. (Gemstones, in the eyes of Zhao Yue, are things that have little practical value, and they are temporarily placed in Goryeo, but in the eyes of the world, gems are precious treasures.) How can Goryeo sticks be an exception)

Extraordinarily hedonistic pleasures are addictive, and dazzling gemstones are equally fascinating.

Compared to these two, the food and coal produced by the untouchable slaves were nothing but painful in exchange for pleasure and fine gems that could be used as heirlooms in the town.

For example, a semi-coat made of pigskin is sophisticated and gorgeous, easy to wear and practical, without a little smell of nasal odor, the appearance can not see what kind of leather it is, it is not only warm when worn on the body, but also high-end atmosphere on the grade, Korean people want to break their heads and imitate it, just dyeing is an insurmountable threshold, this guy, whoever has it proves that who has the money and the right to mix well, and he has face when he goes out. You have to get one at any cost, otherwise you won't have the face to go out, and you'll be embarrassed to say hello to acquaintances with leather clothes.

Under the competition for pleasure, just such a leather coat that costs a few dollars, in exchange for a hundred loads of food, it is all less. A few leather coats are a big shipload of grain.

Gemstones are even more powerful.

A rare toy in exchange for a large shipload of grain, this has to break the battle to be lucky to get it.

As a result, the total grain production of Goryeo increased a lot, and the food content was much richer, but the life of the Goryeo people did not improve, but became more and more difficult because the rulers desperately exploited and looted in exchange for pleasure. (To be continued.) )
