Ah Guda has always been extremely hostile to the Liao State, and because Wu Haogu protected the Eastern Liao, he didn't say anything cruel before. said that he wanted to go straight to Tianjin and set foot in the Zhou Kingdom, and a group of Jurchen upstarts were shocked when they heard it.
Da Liao was actually defeated by the republican army of Wu Haogu! The birth of a girl is really just a bargain to have today's situation. If you go to war with Storm Zhou now, will you lose everything?
Fortunately, the Jurchen decision-making mechanism at this time was still relatively democratic. Under everyone's persuasion, Aguta finally gave up the idea of starting a war with the violent Zhou, and instead concluded a peace treaty with the Zhou State and the Eastern Liao.
But this peace treaty has nothing to do with Xiliao. It's just that Dajin Guo is afraid of Da Zhou, why doesn't he even fight Yelu Dashi now?
Looking at Wu Qimai, who looked confused, Ah Guda just smiled and said in a low voice: "When I attacked Datong Mansion before, many heroes such as Menggu and Zubu had made a victory, and they also had a mortal enmity with the Khitan. Now that the big stone starts in Zhenzhou, Meng Gu and Divination must be frightened. Exactly what worked for me.
As for Western Liao, although it is based on Zhenzhou, it is not enough to cause trouble. The place where Zhenzhou is located is a bitter cold place in the north of the desert, and savages such as Zhubu, Menggu, and Tatar are especially inhabitable. How can the Khitan relatives and nobles, and the children of the anointed sorghum, endure hardships for a long time? According to the Tatars, the Khitan relatives spent a lot of money in Zhenzhou, and they did not produce, but just sat and ate nothing. After a long time, the family wealth is exhausted, and it is natural that I can't stay. When the time comes, you will either go south to seek death, or go west to survive, in short, it is impossible to live in the north of the desert for a long time. Why should we bother to mobilize people to fight a group of poor people who have no oil and water? If you don't win, the consequences are terrible! ”
Wu Qimai also sighed slightly. It was just a matter of attitude that he asked Ah Gu to fight just now. As the heir to the throne of the Dajin Kingdom, he can't be too soft on the Khitans.
"Du Bo is extremely fierce, if we don't fight the Khitan, who should we fight?" Wu begged to ask. If you don't hit a big stone, you should find someone else to start with. It is impossible to enjoy wealth and prosperity, because now the Dajin Kingdom is not rich at all, and there is no wealth to enjoy.
Unlike the situation in history, the richest territories in Great Liao, including Yandi, Liaoxi, and Liaodong, were all seized by Wuhaogu. The wealth of the Liao court was taken to Daning Mansion by Empress Dowager Xiao.
Later, when Aguta united with Menggu and Zhubu to raid Xijing, he handed over the surrounding area of Datong Mansion to Menggu and Zhubu for robbery. The Jin Kingdom only received land and population, and did not receive much real money. And because of the Meng Gu, the obstruction and looting are too fierce, in 1115, the second year of the country, this time and space Aguta used the name of the Song Dynasty at the beginning of the founding of the country, and only changed the Yuan Dynasty to the spring of the country last year, and there was even a serious famine near the Xijing Datong Mansion of the Jin State! In order to prevent the starving people, mainly the Han people from Xijing Province, from fleeing, Aguta had to take out the only savings in the treasury and buy food from the Zhou State for disaster relief...... The people are gone, who will the Dajin Dynasty exploit in the future?
And the purchase of food for disaster relief has spent a small amount of savings, and now the treasury of the Dajin Kingdom is so empty that it can run horses!
And to solve the problem of no money, of course, you have to start a war to grab money!
"No, let's not fight." Ah Guta's answer was beyond Wu Qimai's expectations.
"Don't fight? If you don't fight, you won't have any money! Yang Pu and Gao Qingyi both took refuge in the Jurchen Bohai right surname and reported to me that the treasury was empty, and they moved to Xijing Dao, and the Jin Kingdom implemented the two-Beijing system at this time, and the country was divided into two provinces, Tokyo Province and Xijing Province. ”
Ah Gu laughed and said: "Let's not fight, Menggu, Zhubu, Wugu, Enemy Lie, Tatar and other departments can fight!" ”
"Du Bo Ji Lie means ......"
"The grasslands are full of robbers who have a difficult life, if there is no restraint from our Dajin Kingdom, will the Song Kingdom in the south have a good life? In fact, we are trapping a group of robbers for them, and they should give us New Year's coins. Now that Song Guo doesn't give money, what are we polite? Just let the robbers go south and rob it! They can't stand it, so they will naturally give them New Year's coins! ”
"Just rob Song Guo?"
"Zhou Guo can't rob it." Ah Gu said, "First, we have just made an alliance with them, and the husband has to be trustworthy, otherwise God will not bless you; Second, the furs, Dongzhu, and ginseng obtained from Tokyo Road have to be sold through the Zhou State, and we also have to buy the grain and iron tools of the Zhou State......
Don't touch the Zhaoyi army of the Song State, the Zhaoyi Army is the barrier that blocks the southward movement of the Zhou State. If we defeat the Zhaoyi Army, Han Xiaoxuan is likely to take refuge in Wu Haogu. At that time, the Zhou State will be too strong, and it may encompass the whole of Hebei!
As for the Liang Kingdom, the Shuofang Army, the Parallel Army, the Fulin Army, etc., you can all start! We can also divide the Hetao grassland to Zhubu, and the Monan grassland to Menggu, so that they can divide a part of their tribesmen to graze in the south, so that they can plunder the property nearby. ”
"Separate the Mogu from the tribes of the Divination?" Wu Qimai was stunned, "Can they agree?" ”
Ah Gu smiled: "If you don't want to separate, it's okay for the whole group to go south." If we don't want to, we'll have to find another tribe. ”
……
When Ah Guda was planning to extort money in the south, the Kaifeng Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty was facing an unexpected crisis.
Ji Yi was recruited to Kaifeng Mansion by thousands of miles, and at this time he was attending the meeting of the two governments in the political hall of Qionglin Palace.
The two governors now have a lot of questions to ask this figure who has almost become a "minister of Nanyang", not just a matter of exterminating the country.
What is now causing headaches for the two governments, especially the "old party figures" such as Cai Jing, He Zhizhong, and Yu Shen, is that in addition to the difficulty for new-style officers to control, the development of industry, commerce and overseas trade in the southeast region is out of control!
Industry and commerce are growing savagely along the country's southeast coast, and the traditional small-scale peasant economy is gradually disintegrating!
In fact, industry and commerce in the late Northern Song Dynasty were extremely prosperous, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they stood on the threshold of capitalism. Large-scale wage production, which was regarded as a symbol of the budding capitalism by later generations, was already very common in the late Northern Song Dynasty. Large-scale wage production existed in the iron smelting industry of Li Guojian, the ceramic industry in Dingzhou, Cizhou and the vicinity of Xuzhou, the coal mining industry in Hebei and Jingdong Xuzhou, the printing industry in Kaifeng Prefecture, and the shipbuilding industry in Fujian. It is the official handicraft industry of the imperial court, and the craftsmen are obtained by hiring, rather than labor and slavery.
However, the lack of "tools" in Confucianism has made the development of science and technology lag behind the development of production scale. In other words, the industry and commerce of the Song Dynasty fully met the requirements of the embryonic stage of capitalism in terms of scale. However, this level of productivity has not yet been reached. This bottleneck, with the rise of positivism and rationalism, has been completely broken!
The second thing that restricted the entry threshold of industry and commerce into capitalism in the Song Dynasty was the lack of gold and silver in the Song Dynasty, and the shortage of copper coins, although paper money was developed to a certain extent, it was still very rudimentary. This restriction has also been resolved with the control of the Strait of Malacca by the Hailu Municipal Shipping Division, as well as Cai Jing's money introduction reform and the emergence of new financial institutions such as Bank of Tianjin and Jingdong Bank.
The third constraint is that the state does not adequately protect private industry and commerce. In fact, this is related to China's agriculture-oriented economic structure, which is based on agriculture and business is the end. However, because the administration of the Song Dynasty was relatively modest, the situation of merchants was better than in other eras. The emergence of the Hailu City Ship Factory, the Positivists, and the Rationalists greatly improved the status of the merchants.
The former allowed the Song dynasty to reap huge revenues from overseas trade, while also increasing the power of armed maritime merchants. With force, the waist pole will naturally be hard.
The latter, with the high-cost elite education, linked talent to money, so that the children of merchants flooded the university campuses, while the traditional Confucian students who cultivated and studied heirlooms gradually lost their cultural advantages because they could not afford the cost of primary and secondary schools and university palaces.
The fourth factor that restricts the Great Song Dynasty from entering the threshold of capitalism is that the size of the Great Song Dynasty is too large!
Historically, the early capitalist countries did not have a population of 100 million, not even 10 million, at most a few million.
This limitation still exists!
But three of the four limiting factors are gone. Moreover, because Cai Jing's money introduction reform greatly weakened the economic authority of local transit envoys, a large national market appeared on Chinese soil for the first time!
Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty, a large country that was too large to be suitable for capitalism, was now being dragged to the threshold of capitalism by several parts of it, such as Xuhai, Jiangnan, coastal Fujian and Guangzhou, and perhaps Kaifeng Prefecture and Dingzhou and Cizhou of the Zhaoyi Army, and of course, the Great Zhou Republic, which was still economically integrated with the Great Song Dynasty.
However, for the few regions that have completed the upgrading of their economic structure and really entered the embryonic stage of capitalism, the vast majority of the prefectures and military counties of the Great Song Dynasty have become victims of this embryonic capitalist movement.
Talent and capital are flowing from all over the Great Song Dynasty to several "hot areas" at an unprecedented rate. There are the most opportunities, the best schools, the most prosperous business and industry...... And all kinds of handicraft products made by using water conservancy machinery, division of labor, cooperation, and large-scale production methods flowed like a tide to various places, seriously destroying the original economic structure.
To make matters worse, after the Jiaozhi War and the Liaodong War, two large coastal granaries, one south and one north, were added to the huge economy of the Great Song Dynasty or China.
Regions that now produce handicrafts can no longer grow food, but grow raw materials for cash crops and handicrafts on a large scale, while obtaining low-cost food by sea.
In most areas of the Great Song Dynasty, only a limited number of precious metals were exchanged for handicraft products......
Therefore, since the beginning of the Zhenghe period, most of the transfer envoys of the Song Dynasty have not been able to complete the tax targets. Moreover, most of the prefectures and military counties have seen a decrease in the number of households.
