Chapter 375: Pushing Da Song into a corner

Of course, it is not important to the Federal Empire whether the government or the people of the Great Song Dynasty have the habit of "recruiting" laborers from afar.

The important thing is that the young Great Song official family who has just really taken power has the ambition to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun!

The benefits of the Great Song Empire's recovery of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun in the north are self-evident...... The idea of centralizing power with the help of this great cause alone is simply not a way that a young man can think of!

Centralize power first and then establish a constitution...... What an enlightened monarch could have thought of.

Wu Dapeng said coldly to several other elated friends:

"You've put your hopes on 'Mingjun' again?

Why, haven't you seen the honest and honest and enlightened way you used to be...... When you have absolute power, you're going to be even more alone?!

You always forget the cultural traditions of this nation, why do you always remember to eat and not remember?! ”

Song Ziqiang was unhappy and said:

"You national contrarian! Isn't that young man influenced by me too much?!

He likes our books and sees what we do, of course, it will be different from before...... Young people are extremely malleable! ”

Zhang Anguo said: "After the war students arrived in Xinbianjing, they met the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, and they talked very happily!

All kinds of signs show that Zhao Xian took this matter seriously......"

Wu Dapeng still said coldly:

"You think you're in control of everything if you listen to their phone calls? I don't think Lao Jia's successor, Chen Yizhong, can agree...... He's still unstable. ”

Wan Shida said calmly: "That Chen Yizhong did not agree, but also strongly agreed...... It must be the same as Zhao Xian's thoughts, and he also wants to take this opportunity to sit in the position of Lao Jia. ”

Wu Dapeng stopped talking for a while.

As long as there is a war, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty can have both military, political and financial powers...... Lao Jia's successor, Chen Yizhong, of course, is extremely profitable!

Wang Defa asked, "What is the attitude of the Lu family's military group?!" ”

Zhang Anguo immediately said: "I also strongly support ...... But the emphasis of the offensive was on the Hetao area of the Yellow River......"

Wu Dapeng sneered and said, "Will the prime minister be all harmonious? Up and down? ”

Zhang Anguo said: "That's the case...... Facona also strongly supported it, perhaps thinking that it was a good way to coordinate the military system, and also put forward the idea of a round war...... I want to take back all the military power in the region.

He said it very clearly on the phone with Li Tingzhi......"

After Zhang Anguo finished speaking, he took out a report from the folder, which was the private phone call record between Fa Ke and Li Tingzhi.

Everyone took turns to look around, and indeed as Zhang Anguo said, the two of them really wanted to take the opportunity to take back the military power of the local warlords.

Wu Dapeng scratched his head and said, "I reserve the attitude of waiting for another five years before I do it...... But I don't think the division stationed in the Tianzhu area can be transferred, it has just been controlled, and I dare not say that the situation is completely stable! ”

Zhang Anguo said confidently: "Except for the main island and Shandong, the garrisons in other places will not be mobilized!" ”

Quietly interjected: "Only four divisions can defeat the Tatar bandit group?!" ”

Zhang Anguo smiled and said, "The four divisions can't be fully used...... The Shandong region also needs to leave a garrison division...... I would like to report to you the conditions offered to Da Song. ”

The other five of them all fell silent and listened carefully to his introduction.

The first condition was that the currency exchange ratio with the Great Song Dynasty was fixed at one to four, and the amount of paper money printed by the Great Song Dynasty was negotiated with the Federal Empire......

Song Ziqiang didn't hold his breath, and asked directly: "Didn't you say one to five!" ”

Zhang Anguo explained: "If they accept the latter one, one to four can be controlled...... I'm afraid they will start a steam-powered money printing press. ”

Wan Shida said: "Will they think that they are not good-looking? ”

Zhang Anguo said solemnly: "At this time, will they still consider face? They knew they couldn't just print money to solve the problem......"

The crowd was quiet again, and listened to him continue.

The second condition is to completely abolish the monopoly of tea, official porcelain, and liquor, as well as local miscellaneous taxes!

Wu Dapeng smiled when he heard this, and said, "I see that you have moved their core interests...... The elite group in the court and the local elite group all rely on this to lie down and eat......"

The island also produces tea and porcelain, and even Wu Dapeng began to grow tea in the Tianzhu area, and the output of tea and porcelain increased year by year...... However, even the Mamluk nobles in Egypt knew that the tea of the Great Song Dynasty tasted better than the tea of other regions, and the porcelain of the official kilns of the Great Song Dynasty was worth more than the porcelain of other places.

The same set of tea or coffee utensils is more than ten times different in price.

Of course, a special kind of porcelain produced on the main island can also be sold for a high price, but the production is too small.

Businessmen of this era are not stupid at all.

And alcohol is also a headache for the wine merchants of the Federal Empire, especially in Shandong.

Due to the continuous increase in the production of sorghum in Shandong, coupled with the new methods of wine-making technology, the production of alcohol is getting higher and higher...... If we also include the influx of fruit wines such as coconut and coconut blossom wine, Shandong has become an important production area for the export of liquor to the Great Song Dynasty.

However, the Great Song Dynasty had a complete monopoly on liquor, and could only sell it to a certain department of the government at a low price, and then they sold it to major taverns.

Private brewing will be rectified, at least it will be beaten and confiscated, and at worst it will be life imprisonment!

According to preliminary estimates, this kind of monopoly, liquor alone, makes the Great Song Dynasty earn more than 50 million yuan a year...... And it's increasing year by year.

Of course, for the people's livelihood, this kind of behavior hurt the wine merchants of the Federal Empire and the common people of the Great Song Dynasty.

This behavior was not in the least in line with the spirit of commerce espoused by the Federal Empire.

The merchants of the Federal Empire also wanted to deal in the tea and official kiln porcelain of the Great Song Dynasty, but this was still absolutely monopolized in the hands of a few departments of the Great Song government.

The Federal Empire could use production and quality to break the Song Dynasty's previous prohibition of goods...... For example, salt, iron, and spices, ivory, leather, and so on, but there is really nothing to be done about these last two things.

Even Zhang Anguo himself only drinks Fujian tea produced in the Great Song Dynasty...... It tastes better than the tea of Ryuki Main Island.

A small strait apart, the taste is different!

When it comes to the many transit taxes in the Great Song Dynasty, it is even more headache, and it is really not much to pay at one time, but when it is paid once in one place, the merchants vomit bitterness.

This kind of local land policy is really a headache!

Wang Defa and Wan Shida looked at each other after listening, and also thought that it was unlikely that Da Song would fully agree, but we might as well make conditions.

Wu Dapeng shook his head and said, "You are forcing quite a few people in the Great Song Dynasty government into a corner...... I'm afraid that those powerful people will pull the people of the Great Song Dynasty to fight hard with us......"

Zhang Anguo was stunned for a moment and said, "This is something that is good for the people of the Great Song Dynasty, they can't understand it?" ”

"Hehe, you have been teaching in school back then, and you really don't understand society...... But it's okay to open it, and everyone can bargain. ”

The third condition is to basically determine the basic content of the "Great Song Charter," which cannot be a single or a few general slogans.

Song Ziqiang also grinned after hearing this, and said, "It's enough to choke...... It's so ahead of its time! ”

Zhang Anguo took out Lu Wenhuan's secret letter and said, "Look at the attitude of the local warlords......
