"Don't need New Year's coins?!"

Wang Anshi couldn't be silent any longer, Han Gang was simply telling a joke.

300,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk, which is equivalent to an income of one million guan. Would the Khitans, wrapped in sheepskin, be willing to give up such a large amount of wealth?

Wang Anshi, who was in phase three times and declared Ma five times, was not clear about the court's financial plans. Even in the Great Song Dynasty, which earned tens of millions of yuan, silver silk worth one million yuan was a huge amount.

In order to supplement the state, even the ferry was bought, and the baht must be compared, and even the cost of hundreds or thousands of guan had to be carefully calculated, not to mention one million guan, when Wang Anshi was the prime minister ten years ago, who wanted to tell him that there was a deal with an annual income of 100,000 guan, he would also be red-eyed.

But Han Gang said it categorically, Wang Anshi wanted to laugh, but his smile couldn't be condensed.

……………………

"A member of the upper forbidden army, one-year-old money is eighteen yuan, ten silk cloths, and half a pound of silk. 500,000 horses of silver silk are enough to support 20,000 elite forbidden troops. In the Liao State, the bribed tribe can draw at least 100,000 dingkou. Zhang Dun grinned, as if he was laughing, as if he was ruthless, "So Lu Jifu is not worried that the Liao people will not take the initiative to attack!" ”

At this point, Hebei is almost already a poor dagger. Most of those who can sit in the position of the two mansions have already seen through it, and Zhang Dian is no exception.

It's just that he was still blinded by Lu Huiqing and Wang Anshi before, and he was angry for a while, and it didn't subside a little until he returned home and rested.

Lu Huiqing is indeed self-aware, and he doesn't really want to compete with Liao, but he just wants to use the established facts to whitewash himself.

If it was only for defense, even if the Liao army went south with the strength of the whole country, as long as there were 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed at the border, the Liao people could only return in vain. It is precisely with this that Lu Huiqing dared to shout that he went north and went north to grab the credit for terminating the New Year's coin, and he was not worried about what he would do if he lost.

Zhang Kai's eyes widened when he heard this, "Seventh brother, is Lu Jifu really so sure that the Liao people will really go south?" ”

Before, Zhang Kai thought that as long as the imperial court rejected Wang Anshi and Lu Huiqing's proposal, this battle would definitely not be fought. But now it sounds like it's definitely going to fight. If the fight really starts, then his arrangements in the north in the past two years will not be in vain, and the loss will be 100,000, which cannot be summed up in four words.

"Whether the court admits it or not is a trivial matter, and the face is also a trivial matter. For Yelu Yixin, only the New Year's coin is the big deal. Zhang Dian sneered, although the anger was collected, but the tone could not hide the resentment in his chest, "Every year to send the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how prosperous the Great Song Dynasty's street market is, he can't see it to eat, only the annual real money is sent, it can be regarded as his own." ”

"But Goryeo and Japan have just been defeated, and they have gained countless results. Even if they will definitely fight, the Liao people should take a year off and come back next year. ”

Zhang Kai frowned, he really hoped that after Yelu Yixin ascended the throne, he would be able to pamper the beauties of all ethnic groups in the harem for a while and give him a year and a half of respite.

If he has this year, it will be enough for him to arrange his family's business in the north, sell what should be sold, publish what should be pawned, and then come to pick up a bargain after the war is over.

"What's the use of robbing more barren land? A country of thousands of miles of wilderness, millions of people from outside the country, even if there are more, can they be compared to a state in China? Although the two wars were to win people and land, they did not gain wealth. You still don't understand? The Liao people are not short of people and land at all, what they lack is the wealth of raising soldiers! ”

The anxiety on Zhang Kai's face disappeared, and he met Zhang Kai's gaze and asked in a deep voice: "So the Liao army will definitely come?" ”

Zhang Dian sighed and nodded.

"Then what does Wang Pingzhang think?! He knew about this from the beginning, right?! Zhang Kai's voice was full of anger.

If Wang Anshi still regarded Zhang Dian as an assistant he could rely on, he shouldn't hide it from him on such a big matter. But Wang Anshi helped Lu Huiqing hide it from Zhang Dun. If Zhang Dian deviates from morality for this reason, Wang Anshi will not complain to anyone.

"I just can't figure it out. Maybe I'm afraid that my brother will compete with Lu Jifu to win. ”

Zhang Dian grimaced.

Wang Anshi's biggest concern now is Xinxue, not his position. Perhaps in Wang Anshi's eyes, only Lu Huiqing is the heir of the mantle, and among the new meanings of the Three Classics, there is even Lu Shengqing's handwriting, but there is no Zhang.

"What about Han San's side, did he think of it?"

"I've figured it out now."

Zhang Dian was basically sure that Han Gang hadn't thought of this before, and Lu Huiqing's performance was too much like that. If he had thought it through before, Han Gang's response would never be a tough opposition.

"Now that he knows the truth, will he ......know it?"

Zhang Kai stopped halfway through speaking, and pointed to the north.

"Such a smart person would give such a big handle to the Khitans? What is he for? ”

“…… Pneumatics? ”

Zhang Dian smiled, then shook his head.

In order to adhere to the avenue, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life, which is a sage worthy of respect.

But once the collusion between Han Gang and the Liao people is revealed, Qi Xue will be over. At the expense of his life and reputation, and by the way, he also staked the future of the school into it, is Han Gang so stupid?

Even for the sake of authority, there is no need to collude with the Liao, and it is only a matter of time before he leaves the position of prime minister.

"Han San can't help it, so let Lu Huiqing take advantage of this cheapness?"

100,000 guan is not a small amount, and the resulting losses are not clear yet, but they will only be more. Zhang Kai seemed to have calmed down, but in fact, his heart was still wrenching. Originally, the imperial court was only confined to orthodoxy and refused to recognize Yelu Yixin's identity, but there was still the possibility of a peaceful solution, but Lu Huiqing was in trouble, and at this time, there was no room for relaxation between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State.

"Let Lu Jifu take advantage of this advantage." Zhang Dian narrowed his eyes and smiled happily, "When he comes back, he will know that the court hall he is now is different from when he left." ”

……………………

When Yelu Yixin was a powerful minister before, he was unpopular and had to maintain his position through victory in the war.

And now that he is emperor, the opposition has cleared him of not much, and he can maintain his popularity with a few more goods.

"With a knife in one hand and money in the other, you can have people's hearts." Han Gang said.

"Then," Wang Anshi laughed as he listened to Han Gang's words, "Yukun, you said, Yelu Yixin doesn't need a year coin?" ”

"Of course. Because Jeruethin is rich! ”

Han Gang insisted on it, but he didn't explain, he always made a detour, Wang Anshi gradually became impatient, "Where did you get the money?" Is it to follow Yukun and set up a mint, or do you learn your money source theory and prepare to issue treasury bonds? ”

Han Gang was about to speak when there was a sound of footsteps. It's a team of janissaries patrolling here. Seeing Wang Anshi and Han Gang talking, he saluted from a distance, and then walked around.

When they walked away, Han Gang said, "It's impossible." There has always been little money minted in Liao, and there is also little mining and metallurgy. Moreover, the Liao court, in terms of credit, is far inferior to China. Without credit, how to issue treasury bonds? ”

"Then Yukun, where did Yelu Yixin's wealth come from, so that he couldn't even look down on millions of silver silk?!"

Han Gang still didn't say it directly, he asked rhetorically, "I wonder if Lu Dao's father-in-law has ever seen his son-in-law's "Gui Window Cong Talk"? ”

Wang Anshi didn't answer, his eyes reflected the light, and he stared at Han Gang firmly.

"The penultimate volume of the book is a foreign affair, mainly hearsay."

"Is it Japan or Goryeo?" Wang Anshi asked.

"There are many volcanoes in the country. Volcanoes, fissures in the earth. There is a high heat in the ground, and the gold and petrochemical liquid, like water under the ice, is rushing endlessly. It often erupts up at the crack and accumulates on the ground to form a mountain. The mountain is condensed by gold and stone, so there are many mineral deposits. ”

"This is also the cause of the high sulfur in the Japanese country." Wang Anshi took Han Gang's words.

Of course, he remembered the anecdotes written by Han Gang in "Gui Window Cong Tan", and he could even distinguish the words that Han Gang's retelling was different from the book. "Gui Window Cong Talk" is only a private note in terms of subject matter, and on the surface, it is just a collection of some strange things and Han Gang's explanations of these things, which are collected into a book. But in fact, this book is already a fundamental textbook in the vein of qi science.

"How can such a secret be made public? The Liao people attacked Japan, and you should have a credit for Yukun. ”

"There was no artillery at that time. And more importantly, the son-in-law didn't say it. For example, gold and silver mines, as well as copper mines. Among the hardware genres, only iron is the most difficult to melt, while gold, silver and copper are much easier. Therefore, the mineral deposits that spring out of the volcano are less iron and more gold and silver. This is something that the son-in-law has never written about in any book. But if the son-in-law doesn't write about this matter, after Yelu Yixin occupies Japan, will he not know the way? ”

The mining and metallurgical skills of the Liao State are no less than those of China, and they are far better than those dry islands. If the method of silver refining of the Liao Kingdom is used in Japan, a million taels of silver a year, how difficult is it? With a million taels of silver in his hand, as well as gold mines and copper mines, Yelu Yixin can have an extra three or five million yuan of wealth in his hands every year, how could he know that Lu Huiqing was provoking him, but he would still raise troops in anger for a mere million pieces of silver silk?

Lu Jifu shouted that he wanted to attack Liao. If the Liao people didn't attack because of the New Year's coin, was he ready to continue to kill them in the territory of the Liao State? ”

With money comes control. How to deal with the Great Song Dynasty will have more time in Yelu Yixin's hands, and there will be more room for maneuver strategically. And how could Lu Huiqing, who was only ready to meet the Liao attack at the beginning, deal with such a situation?

"Whether Lu Jifu can win or not, Han Gang doesn't know. can be replaced by Han Gang, and he will never take this risk! ”

Wang Anshi frowned tightly, not noticing that Han Gang said goodbye and left.

Han Gang turned around, and Wang Anshi was still under the lamp.

I talk too much, is it useful?

Han Gang shook his head, it was impossible! Lu Huiqing has achieved this step, and there is no room for regression.
