The fluctuations caused by the southern movement of gold and silver from the Great Song Bank were unprecedentedly huge, which the initiators of the retro gentlemen may not have expected.

These retro party members don't know enough about the industry and commerce of the southeast, and they didn't expect the profiteers to see through their plans at a glance - in fact, their plans can't be hidden from the profiteers at all, because the profiteers have eyeliner in the court. How can it be kept in the dark?

But even if they knew it would leak, the retro party would not change their policy. Because their regime was built on the support of the officers of the New Army from the Northwest.

These knives and knives of the Great Song New Army look quite powerful...... The profiteers in the southeast should not be their opponents, right?

Besides, the political program of the retro party is the "Ten Strategies for Resisting the Enemy", that is, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, that is, to engage in a feudal military service system.

The industry and commerce of the eight states in the southeast and one country have an impact on the natural economy of the Central Plains and the northwest!

After all, the Central Plains and the Northwest are different from the Yandi and Liaohe River basins. The Yandi and Liaohe river basins can be integrated with Tianjin's industry and commerce due to traffic and population density.

But not in the Central Plains and the Northwest, before the advent of railways, the spring breeze of industrialization could not blow there at all.

Moreover, it has not yet developed into the stage of industrialization, but it has just entered the era of factory handicrafts. Areas with inconvenient water transportation are naturally at a great competitive disadvantage.

Therefore, it is beneficial to suppress the industry and commerce in the southeast, and even to cut it off with the southeast to a certain extent, for the natural economy of the northwest and the Central Plains.

Of course, the premise for suppressing industry and commerce in the southeast was that the imperial court and feudal military aristocracy in the northwest were willing to live a poor and martial life.

Therefore, the gold and silver mountains in the Great Song Bank are actually not the prerequisites for the northwest retro - cutting with the southeast, or suppressing the southeast industry and commerce is the real prerequisite.

Therefore, the rebellion of industry and commerce in the southeast and the emergence of the United States of the Eastern Song Dynasty actually fulfilled the great retro ...... of the Western Song Dynasty

But in the summer of the sixth year of Xuanhe, most of the businessmen in the eight southeastern states and one country did not have such a long-term vision - the businessmen are said to be short-sighted, and they only see that the Great Song Bank has taken away the money that should have belonged to them!

The gold and silver mountains stored in the Xuzhou treasury are the deposit of bank bills!

Without these gold, silver and copper coins, the bank bills in the hands of merchants would be a pile of waste paper.

Banks that have no way to cash in bank bills will immediately go bankrupt, and the businessmen who have deposited money in the bank will also go bankrupt!

In the face of the threat of bankruptcy, the profiteers have long forgotten about the love of the Great Song Dynasty.

After the news reached the southeastern states, there were immediately long queues at the gates of banks everywhere! Countless depositors and small and medium-sized businessmen demanded to cash in on certificates of deposit and bank bills.

All kinds of businesses have put up signs that say "Refuse to accept paper money"! Not only did no one ask for the "paper money" from the banks of the Great Song Dynasty, but even the bank bills of the Great Zhou Kingdom next door were also rejected.

Some small banks with insufficient risk tolerance were at risk of bankruptcy shortly after the news spread.

Bank managers and proprietors who were so anxious that they all flocked to Da Song Bank in Xuzhou to get back the margin to deal with the run.

But Zhao Ding, who succeeded Su Shi as the Minister of the Great Song Bank, ignored it at all, and was just busy sending boatloads of gold and silver to Jiangning Mansion!

……

A large number of chests of gold and silver were transported from the vaults of the Great Song Bank, and under the supervision of Zong Ying's Kaifeng Second General, they were transported by horse-drawn carts by coolies to the canal wharves, and then loaded onto the Gang boats.

Several officials and officials transferred from the household department and Taifu Temple were sweating profusely inspecting, weighing, and recording boxes and boxes, and finally affixing seals and transporting them to the ship by coolies. On each gang ship, there is at least one Wen and one Wu two officers and a platoon of new troops to escort!

Moreover, these ships did not set off one by one, but all of them were shipped together. On both sides of the canal, new troops will also be arranged.

Zhao Ding stood in the corner of the dock, and together with Zong Ze's son Zong Ying, they walked around at will, opened a box from time to time, and took out the gold and silver collars inside to examine them carefully. Although he couldn't tell the truth at all, Zhao Ding still nodded pretending and said, "It's all gold and silver!" The coin foundry here in Xuzhou is still very good, and some great craftsmen should be picked to take to Guanzhong! ”

Zong Ying pressed the sword in his hand, and his official uniform was neat, although his face was covered with sweat, he didn't wipe it. He said with a smile: "Not only is it a coin foundry, but there are more talents on the side of Li Guojian!" In recent years, the quality of the cold-forged armor produced by Li Guojian has become better and better, and the nail pieces are getting bigger and bigger, and the softness and hardness are moderate, thin and tough. You can even create a whole piece of front and back cover! ”

The front and back are the front and back sides of the armor, protecting the chest, abdomen, shoulders, and back. It is usually made of small pieces of iron, that is, pierced armor.

And the front and back hearts made of the whole steel plate are the legendary plate armor!

The plate armor is light and strong, and the bow and crossbow are difficult to break, which is definitely the best quality for saving life on the battlefield. However, the processing process is too difficult, and it is necessary to have high-quality iron materials, and there must be a hydraulic hammer for forging.

Hydraulic hammers have been available for a long time, but fine iron materials are not readily available. Even a little, it used to be used to craft blades. It wasn't until the iron works of Li Guojian had fully mastered the crucible iron-making technology from Tianzhu, and could use the crucible for slag removal and carburizing, that there was enough high-quality iron to forge plate armor - this high-quality wrought iron can almost be called steel.

In the original "coal-iron-making" and "steel-frying" processes, slag removal and carburizing were difficult to grasp, and this high-quality wrought iron (steel) could only be obtained occasionally, so it was impossible to use it to make plate armor.

But now, the iron works of Li Guojian can mass-produce high-quality wrought iron (steel), and can also manually adjust the carbon content to control the hardness of wrought iron (steel) - this is quite a key technology! With this technology, we can achieve a breakthrough in the metal cutting process, and only by breaking through the cutting process can we create excellent guns.

So now the Liguojian Iron Works and Jingdong Iron Works have begun to copycat muskets!

Zhao Ding put down the silver collar in his hand, clapped his hands, and said to Zong Ying: "That's right, you have to bring it...... When we get to Guanzhong, we will have to do a large military industry. However, it can no longer be handed over to profiteers, and it has to be run by officials. The craftsmen brought from the Li Guojian became craftsmen, and they studied the art of iron smelting and forging for generations! ”

The retro road of the retro party is very good for feudal military service, but it is a bottomless pit in the handicraft industry. Because under the anti-merchant policy, the production of weapons could only be handed over to the craftsmen in the official handicraft industry or feudal estates.

Moreover, there is no military industry foundation in Guanzhong now, so he has to grab a little more artisan households from eight states in the southeast.

At this moment, one of Zhao Ding's staff members walked over quickly, and came to Zhao Ding and Zong Ying, "Lift, there seems to be something wrong with Jingdong Market." ”

"What's the situation?"

"The council of Jingdong profiteers is discussing the transfer of the merchant market to Qinhuai City in Shanghai and Jiangning Prefecture."

"What?" Zhao Ding was stunned, "Transfer the business market?" Who agreed? What does the king of the East Sea mean? Is he going to follow along? ”

The staff shook their heads, "I don't know. ”

Zong Ying on the side reminded: "Lift, our gold and silver will also leave Jiangning Mansion, will they be intercepted by their design?" ”

"Interception?" Zhao Ding frowned, "Where else can you go if you don't go to Jiangning Mansion?" Now the East Thief is stuck in Chenliu, and it is not possible to go to the Bianhe River. ”

"Take the Huai River to Xinyang."

Zhao Ding thought about it and nodded, "It's okay, just go to the Huai River." But I can't say it now, and I'll wait until I get to Chuzhou to pass the order. ”

"That's natural!"

Zhao Ding's caution is actually superfluous, not that Jingdong Commercial Market did not have the idea of robbing gold and silver, but that after the news of the transfer of gold and silver in Xuzhou reached Jingdong Commercial Market, it immediately triggered a wave that can be called revolutionary.

And the Jingdong mob, driven by the revolutionary tide, will not have any strict plans at all......

On the tenth day of April, outside the gate of the Donghai County Palace, located in Jingdong Shang City, was already crowded with people who were petitioning. The drums outside the palace gate were beaten loudly.

And the slogan of "pay back my hard-earned money" was even more earth-shattering, through the high walls of the palace, and directly to the ears of Zhao Kai, the king of the East China Sea.

At this moment, Zhao Kai was on his Yin'an Palace, watching a group of representatives of the Jingdong Shang City Council and the former Da Song Bank who came from Xuzhou to promote Su Shi, and he was a little at a loss.

"King, the council of Jingdong Shang City has just unanimously passed a resolution not to recognize the throne of Zhao Huan, a thief who steals the country, and to elect His Royal Highness as the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"

The person who is announcing the decision of the council to Zhao Kai is Ji Yi's cousin, Ji Kui, the big treasurer of Jingdong Bank.

Ji Da's shopkeeper is now also the council member (councilor) of Jingdong Shang City! When the news of the "retro revolution" in Kaifeng Mansion and Ji Yi's murder came, the first thing Ji Da treasurer and the profiteer councillors in Jingdong Shang City felt was panic.

They did not think of raising a rebellion against the Song court. Instead, he thought about how to serve this "retro court" in exchange for the protection of the court.

And when the news came that the Great Zhou Republic did not recognize Zhao Huan as the legitimate emperor, the Jingdong profiteers began to waver. Some of them were co-opted by Wu Meiniang and wanted to support Zhao Kai to go south to Jiangning.

However, this matter did not receive unanimous support, and it was not until the news that the imperial court planned to transfer the gold, silver and copper coins of Xuzhou came and triggered a large-scale bank run, that the attitude of the entire Jingdong business market towards the imperial court underwent a fundamental change.

If the margin in Xuzhou Dasong Bank is removed, more than half of the people in Jingdong Commercial City will go bankrupt! Among them is also Ji Kui, the big boss of Jingdong Bank!

So at this time, the profiteers were also desperate, so they had to start a war with this retro court...... And Wu Meiniang and Su Shi's law of uniting the people for the country has become the only way out for the wealthy businessmen in the commercial market.

Either go bankrupt and jump into the East China Sea, or unite with the people to fight for the tyranny of the country.

Take your pick!
