The outflow of currency was a very normal thing for the Northern Song Dynasty, and the influence of copper coins in the Northern Song Dynasty was so great that throughout East Asia, and even Southeast Asia, in the tenth century A.D., and even afterward, copper coins have been the main currency.

Even in Japan, gold and silver are abundant, but until Japan was opened by the United States, their monetary unit has always been guan, although there are metal currency, gold and silver, but not as the main currency, grain and other prices, are unified by guan.

The difference from the previous one is that although copper is good, it is not strategically strong, and it cannot be made into other things and applied to war.

Fine iron is different, a batch of weapons that sharpen iron like mud, it is easy to cause an impact, the most important thing is that this thing is easy to carry, it will not be as huge as iron, the border between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao State and Western Xia, any people, bring a few catties, more than a dozen catties of coins, the cost is a lot, but it can be brought out.

Piecemeal to bring out some iron materials, these are nothing, even if Western Xia and Liao, if they want to start a war, these things are not enough.

However, the currency in circulation cannot be forcibly stopped, which will have a huge impact on the security of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Cao Di proved that the Daimyo's Mansion had no choice, and at the same time sent this Dinghai coin.

Ye Qingchen is the Minister of Finance, and he can handle everything that has to do with finance, and now, he is even more curious why Zhao Xin can create miracles again and again.

Half of the 10,000 Dinghai coins sent to Bianliang from the Daimyo's Mansion were sent to the Forging Division for inspection, testing his performance, and seeing if he could be smelted.

In addition, it is sent to Ye Qingchen and the palace, it can be said unceremoniously that in Ye Qingchen's opinion, this is a very perfect craft.

That's right, carving, defense, the overall effect, and even the entry point, one piece is 100 Wen, not too much, not too much, with the help of Dinghai Qianzhuang, this thing works very well and can be circulated on a large scale.

7 million guan, but it is made in twenty or thirty days, if it is more than 50 million guan in a year, it should not be a problem to circulate in the Great Song Dynasty.

Ye Qingchen is the Minister of Finance, and he has not yet understood the income from coinage, let alone how much Zhao Xin can earn by making this currency.

According to the calculation of 25 wen per catty, one is about 1 penny, 100 times the income, and the most important thing is that there is no sales problem.

That's right, as long as the Northern Song Dynasty approves it, what is produced is direct income, which can be circulated, can be exchanged for any kind of product, and can buy everything, the only thing that restricts Zhao Xin is the problem of productivity, 240,000 yuan a day, which is not good, but compared to the Northern Song Dynasty, it is still a little too little.

The contact between the Daimyo's Mansion and Bianliang was very close, but Ye Qingchen came to the Daimyo's Mansion again.

The impact of the money shortage, he knows, dampens the enthusiasm of the people to trade, but they don't know the deeper things.

There was no way to solve it before, and the emergence of Jiaozi and Huangjiaozi, in addition, to a certain extent, aggravated some economic problems, but did not solve the problem.

This Dinghai coin solves this problem more reasonably, the value is good, the people are more recognized, and the positioning is also moderate.

After Ye Qingchen decided, he quickly took the fastest boat to go, but when he was about to board the boat, he was stopped.

The reason is very simple, the Qingli peace talks are about to be signed.

In the fourth year of Qingli, the Qingli collegiate meeting, which has always been difficult, was about to be signed under the promotion of the Western Xia, and the ministers of the Western Xia peace have come to Bianliang for a long time.

According to normal times, the Northern Song Dynasty still hoped that this agreement would be signed, but this time, under the promotion of Han Qi and other privy councils, they were ready to investigate the war between Western Xia and Liao, so even if Western Xia was eager to promote, they were also covered in clouds.

Tai Chi pushers, for the Northern Song Dynasty political circles, are very familiar, before they chased the Western Xia to say, in the process of talking like this, the Western Xia took a lot of advantage, and now it is back little by little.

If it is said that before, the Privy Council was worried that this battle could not be fought, but now, it has been made clear that Xixia has determined that such a battle will be fought, otherwise there is no need to sign the Qingli peace talks in such a hurry.

The relationship between Western Xia and Liao was monitored in an all-round way, and the relationship between Western Xia and Liao gradually deteriorated.

Liao Xingzong has always warned the Western Xia not to recruit the Dangxiang tribe in the territory of the Liao State, but in order to expand his own strength, Yuan Hao has always turned a deaf ear and has been persevering, especially the rebellion of the Dangxiang clan in the Liao Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty sent troops to suppress it, and Yuan Hao sent troops to the rescue, and actually killed the Liao Dynasty's envoys.

To this extent, not to mention the Liao State, even the Northern Song Dynasty, it can't bear it, both the Western Xia and the Liao State have begun to prepare, and a war is inevitable.

At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty did not expect that the two sides would fight, and all along, the government and the opposition were promoting, and the Western Xia peace talks, after all, the long-term Western Xia War, the consumption of the Northern Song Dynasty was extremely large, and he could not afford more and more military spending in the northwest.

The Northern Song Dynasty has sufficient funds, whether it is the annual currency given to the Liao State, or what to talk about with the Western Xia, it is only hundreds of thousands of guan, for the wealthy Northern Song Dynasty, these are no problems, but it is military spending, in the Qingli years, the rapid growth of military spending, especially in the northwest, from millions of guan, to more than 10 million, the bankruptcy of the Northern Song Dynasty, and this northwest has a direct relationship.

The Great War between Western Xia and Liao began in October 1044, with more than 300,000 troops, even if it was a war abroad, you said that the Northern Song Dynasty would not know, that is a lie.

It's just that because the contract has been signed, the moral bottom line has always made the Northern Song Dynasty hesitate and miss this opportunity.

No matter how good the opportunity is, because tearing up the contract like this will not only attract the hatred of Western Xia, but if the two countries are brought together, it will be even more than worth the loss.

But this time, the different contract was not signed, and more and more evidence shows that when this war is inevitable, the agreement will be signed again, isn't it brain-dead?

In the Privy Council, there are at least hundreds of people who are analyzing this battle, which is also what Zhao Xin suggested to Han Qi.

One person is short, everyone is long, and the staff officer may have such and such concerns about the war in the Northern Song Dynasty, but both are enemies, no matter what, they can talk about it casually.

The Northern Song Dynasty also had a deep understanding of the Western Xia and the Liao State, and after more and more conditions appeared, it went from the surface to the depth, and it was found more and more that the Liao State had no chance of winning.

Although the preparation of the Liao State was not based on the situation of the Northern Song Dynasty, the biggest characteristic of the Liao State was that it was eaten by the enemy.

Although the Liao State has the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, such a place rich in grain, the Liao State is located in the north and has the habit of drinking.

Therefore, the soju in Liao is very popular, the food is not enough, and there is a lot of wine, so they can't make a choice if it is enough to eat.

The Liao State thinks it is the most powerful, among the Three Kingdoms, so it doesn't care in this regard, especially Yuan Hao's side, he has always followed his little brother, although he is ready to teach a lesson, but he has not made due arrangements, that is to say, the entire intelligence system is like a sieve, his mobilization, his troops, and even the food situation have long been clear to Western Xia.

Not only did the Western Xia know this, but even the Northern Song Dynasty, with a little effort, inquired about it.

The food is not enough, it is still 100,000 cavalry, and the method of clearing the field is not adopted.

In fact, this part of the area bordering the Liao State and Western Xia was originally a not very rich area, and there was even a large area of desert, which was simply a Jedi after destroying a certain amount of water and strong walls.

Liao Xingzong didn't realize it at this time, and he didn't even make a response plan, this was already a sign of defeat.

The appearance of the fortress and the longbow, coupled with Han Qi's suggestion, made a plan from the Privy Council to weaken Western Xia.

Perhaps among the Three Kingdoms, the Western Xia was the weakest, but the Western Xia was more aggressive, and it can be said unceremoniously that the Western Xia was the most hostile to the Northern Song Dynasty.

To weaken him, at least to occupy Xiazhou.

This is a military state in a desert, as long as it occupies this, it will have a node, the distance from Xiazhou to Xingqing Mansion will be reduced by half, and a large number of fortresses will be established, which will also be like a huge wedge, inlaid on the body of Western Xia.

Since the fourth year of Qingli, the Western Xia has been promoting collegiality, and no one thought that the Northern Song Dynasty, which had always been weak, actually played Tai Chi, and they didn't realize it at first, after all, it has always been the Northern Song Dynasty that took the initiative, and they would not have thought that the Northern Song Dynasty still had such an idea.

Yuan Hao behind him doesn't know, he has been urging, among the Three Kingdoms, Western Xia is the weakest, he is already planning to fight with Liao, he doesn't have this ability, when he starts a war with Liao, he will fight with the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although the Northern Song Dynasty had a relatively slow sense of smell, when it knew that this battle would inevitably happen, and that the Western Xia had already fortified the wilderness and was ready to lure the enemy into the depths, it would definitely make a choice, with the strength of the country, in addition to the special environment of the Western Xia and Liao, 100,000 stone of grain, as well as a large number of bows and arrows and other ordnance, enough to equip 20,000 people, was transported to the desert area.

For this purpose, a minimum of 120 caravans were mobilized, and slowly, through 4 extra months, the transportation has not yet been completed.

The place where it was placed was in the hinterland of Western Xia, and here, perhaps, in a few months, would become the location of the decisive battle between Liaoxi, but now, it was just a desert, and under the deliberate concealment and bribery, these things were successfully transported.

On the one hand, with the help of the longbow, the number of archers in the northwest was expanded, and a large-scale search for Roman horses, on the other hand, to prepare for the battle, which was a battle that affected the fortunes of the entire Northern Song Dynasty.
