Su Shi was praised by the officials!

As soon as the news spread, Su Xun burst into tears with excitement, dropped the book he was compiling, and ran to the Yushitai with a smoke.

Su Shi was congratulating him surrounded by his colleagues, and when he saw his father coming, he hurriedly escorted him into the duty room, and then went to make tea in person.

"Daddy, you take a sip of hot tea, and go add some charcoal."

Su Shi fiddled with the charcoal basin, thinking that his share seemed to be running out, so he decided to find someone to borrow some.

"Don't be busy with this." Su Xun held the teacup and said excitedly: "Father heard that the official family praised you?" ”

Su Shi nodded, "Yes." ”

Su Xun raised his head and sighed, and said with satisfaction: "My son, rejoice in my father's heart!" ”

The three of Su's father and son went all the way to Beijing with the style of celebrities, and then the imperial examination lived up to expectations, but today, Su Xun himself can only go to compile books because of his old age, which can be regarded as recuperation. However, Su Zhe's temperament is a bit extreme, so he must not be reused.

The family was counting on Su Shi, seeing that he was doing well in Yushitai, Su Xun thought about waiting a few years to find someone to help, so that Su Shi could change places and be promoted to an official or something.

But I didn't expect that it didn't take long for the official family to praise Su Shi in person, which was an unexpected joy!

Su Xun was overjoyed, and Su Shi smiled: "Daddy, this matter is thanks to Anbei." ”

"How?" Su Xun was grateful to Shen An, so when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel even happier.

"I don't know the trick here, I happened to meet Anbei outside the imperial city, he told me carefully, I returned to the Yushitai, just those colleagues were talking about it, and I said something about Anbei, they still didn't believe it, and the Liao envoy took people away, they believed it, Daddy, you didn't see their eyes! They all thought that a certain strategy was unparalleled. But who knew that this turned out to be Anbei's words. ”

"Anbei...... He has helped our family and helped you a lot, and this time it is even more ......" Su Xun looked at his son and said: "Anbei's views on diplomatic matters are unique in the Great Song Dynasty, and you can learn from him." ”

"Yes." Su Shi secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't dare to refuse.

"Anbei is like this to you, you can't live up to this heart." Su Xun said with a straight face: "You should do your best to him from now on, otherwise...... and the Father will take you away. ”

Su Shi even had a son, but he was threatened by his father like this, so he couldn't help laughing.

"Still laughing!" Su Xun couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Go back and let your brother go to see how the child's handwriting goes. ”

"Yes." This Su Shi didn't care, besides, he felt that he and Shen An were brothers, so he didn't need to do it deliberately. However, he didn't dare to disobey his father's explanation, so he had to take the time to write a few articles and send them over.

Su Xun got up and said: "You are so born to work in the Yushitai, the official family must have your name, just wait for the opportunity to come in the future, it will let you change places as officials, remember to be cautious." ”

"Yes." Su Shi sent him outside the door, and the colleagues outside smiled when they saw it: "Congratulations." ”

Su Xun smiled: "He's still far away." ”

"Su Yushi, someone is looking for you."

Someone came outside, Su Shi hurriedly helped his father out, and when he arrived at the gate, he saw a man standing with his back to him.

"Zizhan ......"

The man turned around, but it was Zhao Ji.

After seeing Su Xun, he said hello.

Su Xun was happy to see that his son was friendly with the prince, so he smiled and said a few good words, and then went alone.

As soon as he left, Zhao Ji said: "Anbei asked us to go together, saying that there is something to explain." ”

When the two arrived at Shen's house, Wang Yan had already arrived.

In the study, Shen An said: "It's not good to take leave over there, so I'll talk to you about this matter for the time being." ”

"What's the matter?"

Wang Yan's wedding date is approaching, and the whole person is in a state of anxiety, but joy can be seen between his eyebrows.

"The abolition of the New Year's currency is a major matter, which involves the general trend of the Song and Liao countries, but fortunately, there is another thing, I have not told others, and I am here today...... Zizhan, what do you think? ”

As time passed, the small group became more and more stable. And Shen An used his performance to tell these friends that he was the most reliable in doing things.

So if he wants to speak, everyone will listen carefully, but Su Shi is restless there.

"Anbei, let's guess, isn't it possible to abolish the currency and ......" Su Shi raised his eyebrows and said: "I heard that Xiao Guanyin loves Stone Records, and she learned that you wrote it, will she ......?"

"Hahahaha!"

Everyone couldn't help but laugh, even Wang Yan.

"!" Shen An said with some embarrassment: "Don't talk about this, say something, do you know what capital is?" ”

Everyone nodded, and Su Shi said: "Family property is capital. ”

Shen An nodded, "As small as a family, the capital can be used by the family, make a fortune or something, live a good life, and seek benefits for the family...... But what if it is the capital of a country? ”

"The capital of a country?"

"Yes." Shen An smiled and said, "What can a country's capital do?" ”

Su Shi said, "Let's benefit the people of a country." ”

Zhao Ji leaned back slightly, thinking for a moment, "I think it should be co-ordination." The affairs of a country are complicated, whether it is the people's livelihood, the army, or the powerful officials, these must be coordinated......"

"What do you think of Yuan Ze?" Shen An asked Wang Yan.

"The capital of a country...... Wang Yan said: "I think it is a sharp weapon, which can weaken the powerful, control the army, and make the officials loyal......"

Shen An nodded slightly and said, "The capital of a country should be used internally for the country." External use of enemy ...... Do you know that capital can subvert a country? ”

"What?"

The three were stunned.

Shen An said eloquently, "Capital is all-encompassing, let's just say a simple one, money and trade, the Great Song Dynasty cut off the field with the Xixia people, making them miserable, holding salt in their hands but nowhere to sell it...... This was a means of trade that dealt a blow to the people and financial ...... of Western Xia"

It was a whole new angle, and the three of them couldn't help but suppress the rate of their breathing and listened carefully.

Shen An calmly continued: "For example, the abolition of the New Year's currency for the Liao people this time not only dealt a blow to the arrogance of the Liao people, but also lifted the spirits of the Great Song Dynasty, and washed away the humiliation of a hundred years...... Many will switch to the side of innovation...... That's the benefit at home, but what about abroad? ”

"For foreign countries, the Great Song Dynasty, which has been subjugated for a hundred years, actually abolished the New Year's coin, which is a killer feature, that is, persecution, and is telling the Liao people that the Great Song Dynasty will no longer give in, if you have the courage to come."

Shen An said contemptuously: "But Yelu Hongji dares to go south to gamble on the fortunes of the country?" An assertion that he would not dare! ”

"Since he doesn't dare to bet on the fortunes of the country, then the morale of the people of Liao will naturally fall." Shen An suddenly raised his eyebrows and said: "The morale of the people in the Great Song Dynasty has been falling for a hundred years, and now that the Liao people have changed, do you know what this is?" ”

The three of them looked excited, Wang Yan slapped the table and said, "The fortune of the country has reversed!" ”

"That's right." Shen An was also very excited, "This is the reversal of the national fortune between Song and Liao for a hundred years, since then, the Great Song Dynasty has gradually risen, while the Liao State will decline step by step, until it is swept into the garbage heap by the Great Song Dynasty......"

Zhao Ji smiled proudly, "Let's take back the land of Youyan!" ”

"That's for sure." Su Shi said: "When the time comes, I will go to the army and kill a few more Liao people." ”

Shen An said suddenly: "This is only one aspect, on the other hand, the cancellation of the New Year's currency has made Liao's finances unable to make ends meet...... But the expenditure is indispensable, what will Yeluhongji do? ”

Just like the Great Song Dynasty, the financial expenditure of the Liao State will only increase every year, and it is impossible to reduce it. Therefore, once the fiscal revenue is reduced, the Liao State will have a hard life.

"Tax increase!" Wang Yan found the answer without hesitation.

Shen An nodded approvingly, "After the tax increase, the people of Liao will complain, and the contradictions in the country will become more and more prominent, what is this?" ”

He slowly got up and said, "It's called ...... Capital Wars! ”

"Capital wars?" Su Shi frowned and said, "Do you use capital to go to war?" ”

"That's right." Shen An said: "The two countries have a wide range of contentions, and how to weaken each other in peacetime so that the other party cannot detect it is a science, and this is what I want to tell you today...... Capital Wars! ”

Wang Yan's eyes lit up and asked, "Brother Anbei, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao people opened a field, but in the end, the Great Song Dynasty earned a lot...... Is this also a kind of capital war? ”

"Yes." Shen An said with a smile: "There is a ban in the Great Song Dynasty, and many things are not allowed to be sold in the field, and ...... Whether it is a fragrance or a crystal mirror, can these things be good for the national economy and people's livelihood? ”

The three of them shook their heads, and Zhao Ji said: "Only rich people can afford these things, gentry, magnates, and clan relatives...... If you buy it, you will only use it for your own use, and it will not benefit the country or the people. ”

"So most of them are sold abroad." It's not that Shen An doesn't want to sell in the Great Song Dynasty, he just wants to harvest foreign money first, "As for the domestic ...... The money of those gentry and magnates is not earned in vain. ”

Wang Yan nodded and praised: "Brother Anbei's words are very good, I think that the tax payment of these people should be strictly investigated, and if they are found to be in violation, they will be punished tenfold, and they will definitely be punished until they hear it." ”

Tenfold penalty ......

Shen An smiled, thinking that if this was really the case, this class would be almost destroyed.

"For example, currency...... Coins. ”

Shen An looked at the three people, especially Zhao Ji and Wang Yan. He knows that the future of the Great Song Dynasty will be unpredictable, and countless people will need to fight for it.

Zhao Shu is the future emperor, and he needs to let this future emperor know this knowledge.

Wang Yan is a very smart guy, let him know this, and he can come up with more vicious and ruthless ideas in the future.

"For example, in the past, foreign merchants liked to use goods to set copper coins in the Great Song Dynasty, why?" Shen An asked.

"The copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty are worth a lot." Su Shi's answer was very standard.

"The Great Song Dynasty has few copper mines, mining and smelting is not easy, and the value is very high, after being taken away, not to mention its own value, the dilemma of the Great Song Dynasty's lack of money is an attack."

Shen An needs to let them know these truths, so that they will see those layers that others can't see in the future.

My partners, they should be able to lead the world as well.

Shen An thought so and did so.

"So when Su Yan went south, a certain suggestion to the official family, forbidding foreign merchants to take away copper coins, after Su Yan went, he suppressed a lot of food merchants, and now the city is not only not out of copper coins, but also often has a balance, this is the currency of the other party...... In the long run, there will be a shortage of currency in the other country, and all kinds of disadvantages will arise. ”

The scarcity of copper coins in the Great Song Dynasty led to the use of iron coins and Jiaozi in Shu.

That's what it is......

"These currency exchanges can directly hit a country's national economy and people's livelihood." Shen An said lightly: "This is called ...... Currency Wars! ”

……

Fourth, good night!
