Chapter 101: Blood Drawing

Looking at the tightly twisted hands of the sick lieutenant Chi, Xu Ping said: "I am not to blame for the past, the case in Longmen Town has been concluded, and it is impossible for me to settle old accounts thousands of miles away." If you say you know about Zhang Yuan, let's start with how you know him. ”

Sick Lieutenant Chi forcibly calmed his mind, straightened out his thoughts and said: "The two of them arrived at the party and went to Xingqing Mansion. At the beginning of this year, there was another one who went from Kaifeng Mansion to Xingqing Mansion to avoid trouble, and his residence was not far from us. The two of us were far away in a foreign land, and we wanted to know some news about the Great Song Dynasty, so we naturally got closer to this person. ”

Seeing that Xu Ping no longer spoke, Li Zhang asked, "What's that person's name?" What did you do? ”

"That person's name is Li Zhongtan, and he met an official in Kaifeng Mansion and fraudulently borrowed money from a newly opened bankβ€”β€”"

Hearing this, Xu Ping sighed: "Another one, sure enough, things gather like things, people are grouped, and a few people who cheated money in the fake company in the Great Song Dynasty all gathered together." In this way, Zhang Yuan has become a layman. ”

Peeking at Xu Ping's unchanged complexion, the sick lieutenant Chi said cautiously: "What the minister said is true." In fact, there are many people from all walks of life who fled to the party to avoid trouble, but the case of this Li Zhongtan crime is similar to me and Tong Dalang, so I got closer. When Li Zhongtan arrived at the party, he happened to be on the same road as Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao, and we only met after him. ”

In the past year, everyone's life in Xingqing Mansion was briefly skimmed, and finally said: "Since this year's rebellion against the Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty has cut off the border with the party, and cut off their green and white salt financial routes. I don't know how Zhang Yuan hooked up with the Zhang family, who was in power in the party, and suggested that Hao thief learn to print banknotes in the Great Song Dynasty, so that there would be no shortage of money. In the past two or three months, Zhang Yuan has been busy with this matter. A few days ago, this guy found our brother, saying that he only opened a bank, and that printing paper money was nothing more than collecting money from the people, and wanted our brother to help him set up some companies. ”

Xu Ping smiled and said, "Then did you help them?" ”

"Our brother is a Han Chinese, and he has no choice but to go to the party to avoid trouble, and spend the rest of his life, how can he help Fanren do things? It's just that now Zhang Yuan is powerful, if he rejects him, he will inevitably be killed. Our brothers discussed, Tong Dalang first in Xingqing Mansion and the snake, I came to the Song realm, met with the minister, and asked for an idea. ”

Xu Ping raised his head, looked at the sick lieutenant Chi and said, "The two brothers, what do you think?" ”

The sick lieutenant Chi was panicked by Xu Ping, and said with a sigh of hope: "What does Brother Tong mean, if he is interested in it, he will make this matter bad for Zhang Yuan, and the party has no money, how can he fight?" If you have some merit, I hope to be exempted from the previous sin. ”

"Regardless of merit, as long as you are loyal to the court, you can ignore the past, and I can promise you this. However, it is a bit of a joke to think that if things are done badly, the party will have no money to fight. If it was so easy, why did the imperial court bother to concentrate hundreds of thousands of troops on Shaanxi Road and take risks. Okay, you go down and rest first, and I'll tell you what you're going to do in Xingfu Mansion later. Rest assured, it's easier than you think. ”

After Xu Ping finished speaking, he motioned to Li Zhang to take the people down, and first arranged a place to live for the sick lieutenant to stay late.

After going out and settling down, Li Zhang returned to Xu Ping and said, "Jie Shuai, as far as I can see, since Tong Dalang and Sick Wei Chi are mixed with Zhang Yuan and have a lot of trust in the party, it is better to let them help do something." ”

Xu Ping sat Li Zhang down and said to him, "Then what do you think these two can do for us?" ”

Li Zhang sighed for a moment and said, "As Tong Dalang said, it's good to mess up the party's banks and companies." There will be a big war in the east and west this winter, and the party will consume a lot of money and food, cut off their financial resources, and spend a lot of money in the coming year! ”

Xu Ping shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother, you think badly, or you are led astray by Tong Dalang's thoughts." In the party, you must first understand that there is an order in which they are in power and appointed. The first is the indigenous Fan people, the second is the indigenous Han people, and then the Tubo, Zaqiang and other Fan people, and the next class is the Han people who surrendered to the party. The military affairs of the party are in the hands of the indigenous people in their territory, such as Yeli, Weiming and other clans, who have successively taken over the power of the army. The party's literary affairs are mostly managed by the indigenous Han people there, among which the surname Zhang is the most powerful, such as Zhang Zhi, Zhang Jiang, Zhang Wenxian and other generations who are the masterminds. Zhang Yuan, a fourth-class Han who voted there, has the current power, and he relied on the Zhang family who voted for the natives. If bank, company and other affairs are really so important to the party, how can they be handed over to Zhang Yuan to take care of? If this thing is done badly, it will not hurt the party at all. ”

Li Zhang is in charge of the Jiyi Division, and he is very familiar with the situation in the party and China, and knows that what Xu Ping said is good.

The party was not a pure Fanhu regime, but a mixed regime, but the Han people's lack of military involvement made the Song Dynasty less concerned about the power of the Han people in their territory. The mixing of the Fan and Han dynasties was the norm in the northern nomadic regimes after the Tang Dynasty, whether it was the Khitan, or later the Jurchens, the Mongols, and even later the Manchu Qing Dynasty, all inherited this tradition. In China, according to ethnic classification, but not absolutely, the indigenous Han people are actually only lower than the main ethnic group, and their strength is quite huge. However, the Han people who later defected were at the bottom and could not really hold real power. The fact that the bank, company and other affairs were handed over to Zhang Yuan shows that the actual situation is not so important to the party, and he thinks that there will be no money if he messes up this matter, but he is simply thinking too much.

Li Zhang frowned: "In this way, Tong Dalang and Sick Wei Chi are of no use to us?" ”

"No, it's useless for them to mess things up, but it's really useful to do things!"

"Jie Shuai, what does this mean? Banks and companies are done, and the thieves have money in their hands, isn't it even more difficult to fight? ”

Xu Ping patted Li Zhang's shoulder and said with a smile: "If you have money, where does the money in his hand come from?" Banks and companies do not make money on their own, they just make people's money come alive. Our Great Song Dynasty relied on these two things to make the country sufficient, and that was because the people had countless money, and they used these two means to revitalize their savings. The party is barren and the people are poor, and they have no money in the first place, so what is the use of running banks and companies? Quails looking for peas, herons splitting fine meat on their legs, mosquitoes digging fat in their abdomen, and if they want to collect money, they can only scrape the ground, and money can still be made out of nothing? Using the bank to collect money for Hao thieves is to make the party and the country chaotic! ”

Banks and companies cooperate with industry and commerce, and only when industry and commerce reach a certain scale can they have a positive effect. The industrial and commercial base of the party in the country is zero, and the use of banks to collect money is to squeeze oil out of the bones of the common people of the party project.

In fact, the Great Song Dynasty broke the border between the two countries and cut off the financial route of Qingbai Salt was harmful to the second place of the party, and the first place was that it had no money available in the country. The largest industry in the territory of the party is the production of knives, guns, bows and crossbows and other military weapons, and the only industry among the people is the sporadic small workshops for making hoes and sickles, and the commerce is also pitiful, and the total commercial tax in the country is not as good as that of a medium-sized state in the Great Song Dynasty. In the past, the party items were all used in the Song Dynasty copper coins, and the technology of casting money by themselves was not good, and the scale of commercial circulation was too small to make money was not cost-effective. Without the income of green and white salt, the smuggling on the border between the two countries is now in the opposite direction, and a large number of gold, silver and copper coins enter the Song realm from the party. Yuan Hao wants to set up a bank to make paper money, and collecting money is actually secondary, and the most urgent thing is to use paper money to fill the gap in circulating currency. If this thing is done, it will be equivalent to the Song Dynasty taking a big pipe to draw blood from the party.

Tong Dalang's participation in this matter, the greatest value to the Song Dynasty is not to mess things up, on the contrary, to do things up, and the larger the scale, the better. As long as the party dared to use paper money, Xu Ping would officially organize the smuggling of all kinds of luxury consumer goods into the party's territory, and first let the blood of the people go out.

What Xu Ping is most afraid of is that the party will take advantage of the war to wipe out all domestic commerce, and then there is no way to start. As a result, they even dared to engage in finance, which was to take the initiative to hand over the knife that slaughtered people to their own hands.
