Chapter 1024: Who in the World Can Know the King (I)

The body is compared to the wood, and the heart is not dead, this is a portrayal of Su Shi's life.

"It's well written", the prince of Goryeo sighed while wiping his tears: "The poem is good, and the words are good." ”

Whether the poem is well written or not has its own posterity's evaluation. As for the level of writing in this notebook - it reminds Zhao Xing of a famous modern self-humble saying: average average, third in the world.

This book is known as the "third book in the world", and its value is equal to "half of Japan".

At this time, the goods exported by Goryeo to the Song Dynasty were: gold, silver, copper, ginseng, poria, pine nuts, furs, yellow lacquer, sulfur, silk, ramie, linen, horses, saddles, robes, mattresses, sesame oil, mattresses, fans, white paper, brushes, ink, etc.

Aside from horses, the Song Dynasty did not have much advantage in exporting goods to Goryeo, such as porcelain. In the Tang Dynasty, a large number of celadon craftsmen from the Yue kiln were escorted to the Korean Peninsula as gifts, and the porcelain-making process of the Yue kiln was also transmitted to the Korean Peninsula, so that it completed the conversion of pottery to porcelain in a relatively short period of time, and began the history of celadon production.

Goryeo celadon is named because the glaze is blue-green, and the Goryeo celadon and the Song porcelain of the Song Dynasty in China shine together. The Song people regarded the glaze color of Goryeo celadon as "Fei color" and called Goryeo celadon "Goryeo Fei porcelain". Its biggest feature is that the glaze is verdant and bright, the craftsmanship is exquisite, the shape is rich and colorful, "Goryeo Fei porcelain" and the four official kilns of the Northern Song Dynasty are called "five famous porcelain", and it has become the fist product of Goryeo export exchange.

The Song Dynasty had just completed another technical export work, after the Song Dynasty established diplomatic relations with Goryeo, the king of Goryeo asked the Song Dynasty for a large number of doctors under the pretext that he was sick, and Song Shenzong was very generous and bundled 3,000 famous doctors in the country to Goryeo, and these people quickly established the medical system of Goryeo, and they are the ancestors of those famous doctors in the Korean drama "Dae Jang Geum".

In ancient China, the fist products of foreign trade were silk, tea, and porcelain. In the Han Dynasty, we had already delivered silk technology to Korea, and in the Tang Dynasty, we completed the export of porcelain technology...... The Goryeo people don't like to drink tea, so the Song people now have no advantage in technology to export, on the contrary, Goryeo porcelain has become the strongest competitor of Song porcelain in the international market, and even imported it to China in reverse.

Since the Song people lost all their trade advantages against Goryeo, which caused a huge trade deficit later, and horses were strategic substances, even Goryeo was restricting exports to China, so what should Zhao Xing do?

The only way to export culture to Goryeo is ...... and the export of copper coins.

The export of culture was also forbidden in the Song Dynasty. The Koreans admired the culture of the Central Plains and asked to buy books every time they came to China, but the Confucian scholars resolutely refused, and they only allowed the Koreans to buy national defense science and technology books such as the "Seven Books of the Wujing" - because such books belonged to them as evil "kitsch and prostitution", and those Confucian classics were not allowed to be purchased by Koreans.

This was the current state of trade between the Great Song and Goryeo: Goryeo encouraged the delivery of any product to the Central Plains, but the Confucian scholars of the Central Plains did not want to sell what the Goryeo wanted to buy, so a large amount of Song money flowed out, causing Goryeo to have a huge trade deficit.

In this case, Zhao Xing had no choice but to find another way to turn culture into a real commodity - he began to print cloth, find a stereotypical master of Su Shi's calligraphy, carve it into a printed version, and then print it on the cloth. And all he needs to buy is copper.

Goryeo also did not have a sense of coinage, and we exchanged our cultural advantages for Goryeo copper, and after losing to the Goryeo people and the Japanese after minting copper coins, we bullied them for not having a sense of coinage, and these two countries are happy to be grateful for this bullying......

It's a happy and extraordinary place.

Koreans have admired **** culture, Zhao Xing's "cultural silk" is doing what it likes, and immediately won a fanatical pursuit - the Central Plains ordinary silk has no advantage in South Korea, and the Korean local "Korean silk" is colorful, and a horse is sold for 170 Wen. And Zhao Xing's "cultural silk" can be sold for five yuan per horse.

Huge profits - Zhao Xing lives a day of "counting money and counting to hand cramps" every day. A container-like wooden box can carry 60 pieces of cloth, this box is 300 guan, Goryeo copper ingots are cheap, 300 guan can be exchanged for 1000 guan worth of blister copper in China, go back and add some lead to it, cast it into copper coins, and then use them to buy in Goryeo......

Haha, there is no "Anti-Profiteering Law" these days, let the profiteering come more violently!

Su Shi is good, this is a brilliant Lord who has submerged in the Pacific Ocean, prolific, preserved works, with more than 2,700 poems, more than 340 words and some beautiful prose. Gaoli, you can take Su Shi's heavy rain, and I will let Su Shi's gorgeous chapter drown you!

Now Zhao Xing has this batch of silk cloth in hand, and he makes a printing unit with four meters, two meters to print portraits, and two meters to print poems; The two ends of the poem are printed with a large number of fish water patterns, and when cutting, they can be two meters in units, and then sewn into clothes.

The method of clothing is either as Zhao Xing shows, one side is a portrait, the other side is a poem, or only buy two meters of one of them, and the other side is matched with a pair of plain white satin, and paint the pattern or poem you want.

In the days that followed, Park Yinguang seemed to understand Zhao Xing's lack of etiquette, and one day, in the midst of a song and dance, with the help of music, he explained some details of etiquette to Zhao Xing in a low voice: "You should salute the prince - I Goryeo submitted the letter of state to ****, and His Majesty Shenzong replied to the letter of state, and did not treat us as a vassal state - the letter of state treats us as an equal country."

The emperor of Ru is still like this, why is the virtuous nephew so rude...... Don't insult the **** face. ”

Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment - is that really the case? Doesn't it mean that in ancient times, there was never diplomacy in the real sense of the word, and no matter what kind of envoys from countries came to "make the Hajj", we all regarded him as a vassal?

Could it be that ancient China still had diplomacy in the true sense of the word, and was willing to treat foreign countries as equal countries for exchanges?

That's Song's uniqueness!

Zhao Xing thought well. This is also the reason why people often regard Song as "weak".

Perhaps, in another sense, this is indeed a manifestation of "weakness", and the Song now not only recognized the Western Xia and Liao kingdoms as equal states, and gave a certain amount of tribute coins (Sui coins) every year, but also recognized Goryeo as an equal country. The only two vassal states in the true sense of the word, except for the self-willed "subordinate" Emperor of the Wa Kingdom, only the Vietnamese Ly Dynasty, which was subdued in the south.

Well, although Zhao Xing was arrogant, he was not arrogant enough to confront the country's established foreign policy, and he left the table and pleaded guilty to the prince of Goryeo for his recklessness just now.
