Since Song Huizong ascended the throne, because he won more and lost less against the Western Xia, he was not afraid of the Western Xia, but the strength of the Jin State, he still looked at it, and he was more or less afraid in his heart. ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "Actually, Weichen thinks that now not only can we not send troops to Western Xia, but we have to encircle him, even if we want to punish Western Xia, it is not necessarily necessary to have troops, there are many ways." ”

Everyone was stunned.

Song Huizong frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

Li Qi said: "The Jin State is still occupying Yunzhou and other places, if we attack Western Xia, let alone whether the Jin State sends troops or not, he uses this as an excuse to refuse to return our Yunzhou, it will be enough for us to drink a pot." In addition, the Western Xia to the Jin State of the vassal, equivalent to the Jin State at the same time strangled our northwest and north of the throat, forming a semi-encirclement, if one enemy two, it is difficult for us to win, so, what we have to do is to destroy the alliance between them, in order to achieve the purpose of mutual containment, in this way, we can get a respite, vigorously develop the military and economy, there is a way, the outside must first settle the interior, first rich country, strong country, and then try to others. ”

Song Huizong squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside." ”

In fact, this sentence has been the central idea of the Song Dynasty for a hundred years, and it has continued until the fall of the Southern Song Dynasty.

Li Bangyan said: "But how easy it is to destroy the relationship between Jin and Western Xia!" ”

Li Qi said: "It's up to people." ”

Song Huizong smiled: "What good plan do you have?" ”

Li Qi said: "Your Majesty, everyone, have you ever thought about why our army annihilated 10,000 soldiers and horses in Western Xia, but they held back and retreated to seek peace? ”

Tong Guan said: "This can be attributed to the clever plan of the economy to raise the prestige of my Great Song Army and scare off the Western Xia army. ”

Li Qi shook his head and said: "This is only one of them, the most important thing is that if Xixia dares to come to the truth, then Xixia will die." In fact, the Western Xia has been fighting one after another in recent years, and aided the Liao State, so that the internal emptiness, they now have no capital to fight a protracted war anymore, once there is a continuous and accompanied by huge losses of the war, then we don't need to go out, the people of the Western Xia will not be the first to do it, and then the internal and external troubles, the Western Xia will not be able to escape the doom of the country. ”

Song Huizong nodded and said, "In this case, if we take the opportunity to attack Western Xia, wouldn't it be a sure victory." ”

Li Qi nodded: "Theoretically, this is true, but the Jin Kingdom will not allow this to happen." Not to mention whether Jin Guo will make a move, even if he doesn't, we will do more harm than good if we fight this battle. ”

After a pause, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for saying inappropriate words, the interior of Western Xia is empty, and my Great Song Dynasty is not like this, first there is Fang La's rebellion, which is bad for me in the south of the Yangtze River, and then there is the Northern Expedition, and the treasury is tight, and the two add up, even if it is my Great Song Dynasty, I feel very difficult." Of course, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and if we want to fight a war of attrition, Western Xia is not our opponent, but in this way, we are for the Jin country, but it is one to eliminate the other, the Jin country is already militarily stronger than our country, if we are financially ahead of our country, we will be completely in a passive position for the Jin country. Therefore, please think twice before acting. ”

Cai Jingdao: "The old minister also agrees with the economic envoy's words, my Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia have fought no less than 100 times, but each time it is a failure, the main reason is that it is the Liao State at that time, at that time, whenever the critical moment, the Liao State put pressure on my Great Song Dynasty, so that my Great Song had to withdraw the army, although the Jin State has replaced the Liao State, but the old minister estimates that they will also adopt this strategy." ”

Li Qi said with a smile: "In fact, the survival of the country of Western Xia was originally a mistake, and if you want to destroy it, you don't need to spend too much effort at all, and the strategic goal of my Great Song Dynasty still has to be placed in the north." ”

Song Huizong frowned and said, "Li Qi, you have repeatedly said that Western Xia is not to be worried, what is the reason for this?" ”

"Because Western Xia must rely on our Great Song Dynasty, this is where our fundamental advantage lies in it." Li Qi said: "As we all know, the Western Xia have to buy a large amount of grain from our Great Song Dynasty every year, otherwise they will have a famine every year, and a country that does not even have the ability to be self-sufficient, why worry." Judging from the past facts, in fact, Western Xia also defeated my Great Song Dynasty, but when it comes to the end, the first to bow down is always Western Xia, why? Or for that reason, he can't afford to consume, because once the two countries are at war, the bilateral trade relations will definitely stop, and even the smuggling will be less, and if there is less export of my Great Song Dynasty, then Western Xia is tantamount to cutting off his arms, so for Western Xia, economic sanctions are the most advantageous means for my Great Song Dynasty, and it is too wasteful to send troops. ”

"Economic sanctions?"

Song Huizong said: "This word is quite interesting, but speaking of which, my Great Song Dynasty has indeed imposed many economic sanctions on Western Xia, and has repeatedly achieved good results, but that's all." ”

Li Qi said: "That's because the strength is not enough, not the strength of sanctions, but the strength of control over the economy of Western Xia." ”

"Oh? What do you mean by that? ”

Li Qi said: "I believe that the emperor has heard Gao Taiwei say about the development of the northwest, in fact, the poor country of Western Xia has not played a big role in revitalizing the economy of our Great Song Dynasty, the key is still in the countries of the Western Regions, but we can use this to launch economic aggression against Western Xia in order to achieve strategic goals." As long as you control the economic lifeline of Western Xia and let him obediently bow down to his subordinates, it will be a matter of course. Now there's a great opportunity here. The reason why the Western Xia retreated so quickly this time is that their finances have fallen to a low point, and the people in the country have been dissatisfied, and what they have to do is also to appease the people, enrich the country and enrich the people, which must rely on our Great Song Dynasty, and our Great Song merchants can take the opportunity to pour into the Western Xia and carry out a series of trade cooperation with the Western Xia, which is only one of them, and the other is to let our merchants enter the Western Xia to replace their merchants and take their economic lifeline, which I have full confidence in our merchants. Once our merchants control the economy of the Western Xia and bring wealth to their people, it can be expected that if the Western Xia wants to be unfavorable to our Great Song Dynasty, then the first to oppose it is their people, on the contrary, if our Great Song Dynasty has any conflict with the Western Xia, we only need to take economic sanctions and cut off all his trade imports and exports, then the economy of the Western Xia will collapse instantly, and the whole country will be unemployed, and then their people will have nothing to do but rebel. I really can't think of anything else to do, and we in the Great Song Dynasty could even provide weapons and money to prop up an opposition force and dismantle their regime from within. ”

Song Huizong listened to the wind on his face, stroked his beard, and said, "Okay, good, good economic sanctions." ”

Li Qi said again: "Your Majesty, according to the research of Weichen Duori, it is found that if trade with various countries is strengthened, it can not help but solve the currency crisis, and it can also achieve the effect of economic domination and hegemony of other countries. ”

Song Huizong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said happily: "Come on." ”

Li Qi said: "The reason why there have been repeated currency crises in my Great Song Dynasty is that the value of copper is higher than the value of currency, so that the common people collect a large amount of currency, but this is only one of the reasons. Another reason is that many surrounding countries do not produce currency, and even if they do, they will not be recognized by their own people, and all of them use our Great Song Dynasty currency, such as Riben, Western Xia, Goryeo, and now Jinguo. In this way, it is equivalent to being minted in one dynasty and shared by four dynasties, which is the fundamental reason why although the currency output of our Great Song Dynasty has exceeded that of previous dynasties several times, it always feels insufficient. But this situation is not a bad thing for us, because currency is the foundation of the economy, in other words, currency is a sharp weapon in the economic war, as long as we stabilize the domestic situation and reform the currency, then we can use the currency to impose sanctions on any country that uses the currency of our Great Song Dynasty, because the value of the currency is all changed according to the policy of the Great Song Dynasty. The appreciation and depreciation of the currency will have a very huge impact on those countries that use the currency of the Great Song Dynasty, so we have absolute dominance, and we can use the currency as a macroeconomic control strategy to invisibly plunder the wealth of other countries and contain all countries. Also, once our export trade is much higher than that of the countries, then we can use the merchants to take back the currency from the countries, and count them in one fell swoop. ”

Cai Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this move is very feasible. ”

Song Huizong saw that Cai Jing was so excited, and hurriedly asked, "Why did Aiqing say that?" ”

Cai Jingle smiled and said: "Back to the emperor, in fact, the currency has brought me a lot of profits. I think that when our Great Song Dynasty signed the Tanyuan Alliance with the Liao State, many people in the DPRK and China opposed it at that time, saying that the Tanyuan Alliance was self-inflicted humiliation and damaged the prestige of our Central Plains power. But judging from the facts in the future, the profits brought by the Tanyuan Alliance to my Great Song are simply immeasurable. Yes, at that time, my Great Song Dynasty had to pay 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk to the Liao State every year, which is indeed a lot, but the cost of my Great Song Dynasty's use of troops in Liao was more than 100 times that of this year's coin. Moreover, since the alliance of Tanyuan, my Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State have launched ziyou trade, which has also made my Great Song Dynasty enter the highest peak since the founding of the country, but the finances of the Liao State have become very chaotic, this is because the goods exported by my Great Song Dynasty are urgently needed by the Liao people, and the goods of the Liao people are only animal husbandry that my Great Song Dynasty lacks, so that at the beginning of the year, we gave the Liao State a tribute, and in less than the middle of the year, all of them were earned, and we also made a lot of money. However, it is precisely because of this unequal trade relationship that my Great Song Dynasty earns countless amounts of currency from the Liao State every year, so that the currency of the Liao State is in short supply, and in the end they must be able to exchange the war horses for the currency of the Great Song Dynasty, although the Empress Dowager of Liao later forbade the sale of horses to my Great Song Dynasty, but due to the need for currency, there are many smuggling horses, and the shortage of currency also caused great damage to the economy of the Liao State. We can do the same thing, strengthen trade with Jinguo, Xixia, Riben, Jiaozhi, Goryeo and other countries, and use currency to earn wealth, Lao Chen thought that this is also the main purpose of economic construction. ”

ri。 This Lao Cai is really a genius! It is really powerful to think of using a currency war to erase the humiliation suffered by the Tanyuan Alliance, and to draw inferences from one case and turn the topic to economic construction. Li Qi admired Cai Jing's words.

Zhao Huan also said: "Father, the son also thinks that this is the best policy, if a country has no currency, then it will perish, the more countries use my Great Song currency, then my Great Song Dynasty can control the economy of more countries." On the one hand, we urge them to use the currency of our Great Song Dynasty, on the other hand, we strengthen foreign trade and exports, and rely on merchants to plunder the currency of their countries. ”

Weichen seconded.

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, and others also stood up.

Li Qi hit the railway while it was hot: "What the prince and His Royal Highness the prince said is really wonderful, all in all, the currency is in hand, and I have it in the world." ”

Song Huizong heard that it was Longyan Dayue, and he was still fighting a fart battle, just kill them with currency, haha: "Okay!" I have a good currency in hand, I have it in the world! Wowhaha! Richie. ”

"Wechen is here."

"Whether this move can be successful or not, you will see your Bureau of Commerce."

"Wechen will live up to the grace of God."

"I believe in you."

Li Qi rubbed his hands, a smile appeared on his face, and secretly rejoiced, now it's time to reward his merits.

Sure enough, Song Huizong laughed and said: "You have made many miraculous achievements in Fengxiang this time, and you should be rewarded, but before that, you have to solve this problem in advance." As he spoke, he gestured to a mahogany box in the left corner.

Li Qi turned his head curiously, his face was tight, wouldn't it be another box? Oh my God! And there's more.
