Let's talk about "Chongning Kaibian", this so-called "Kaibian" is not like the famous "Xining Kaibian" in the early Northern Song Dynasty to open up the border by force, but the meaning of the Song and Xia countries temporarily quelling the war and opening border trade. www.biquge.info As soon as the trade was opened, the problem came, at that time, the Western Xia was poor, and there was no product to open the border trade, and the goods in hand were nothing more than cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock, as well as the green salt and iron soldiers of the Western Xia.

One point should be emphasized here, that is, the iron soldiers of the Western Xia are not bad, the most sought-after iron soldiers at that time are the original genuine divine arm bow and the cold forging armor of the Western Xia, the divine arm bow of the Great Song Dynasty is a copycat, but the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty are more awesome, and after continuous improvement, the power of the counterfeit goods exceeds the genuine version.

Then, this border trade is not very fun!

The Tangut people used a large number of cattle, sheep, and iron soldiers with extremely high prices as fist products, and used cheap Xixia green salt as an add-on to obtain a large number of materials from the Great Song Dynasty. Among them, the most obtained is neither silk cloth, nor tea porcelain, but the copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, these things they sell are the things that the Great Song Dynasty urgently needs, whether it is official or private smuggling, there are great benefits and value, so it soon caused a comprehensive money shortage on the Northwest Road.

Of course, it is not that the Xixia people are too smart, but they have made up their minds to use this means to get the copper coins of the Great Song Dynasty and make the Great Song Dynasty money shortage, but in the past exchanges between the two countries, they have suffered enough of the paper money of the Great Song Dynasty, so now they simply don't want paper money and only cash money. And Cai Jing in the face of such a huge and major problem, his smart brain that can come up with "Cai Jing economics" also came up with the big trick of "being ten money", at that time he first implemented the use of Shaanxi big money in the shape of casting and folding ten coins, and then put these money directly in the major fields for the Western Xia forced exchange, of course, his original intention was to use these copper coins and iron coins with tin to forcibly exchange the copper coins in the hands of the Song merchants, and then the Song merchants used the money to pay the Tangut people, which pitted the Tangut people.

But Cai Jing's idea of "currency war" is good, but he can't stand his subordinates messing around, and there is too much room for maneuver in this kind of lucrative money administration, and in the end, Cai Jing turned this method that he originally wanted to use to deal with the Western Xia people into dealing with people all over the world, and it was out of control, and quickly eroded the whole country.

In the fifth year of Chongning (1106), Cai Jing dismissed the prime minister and went to the wilderness, when the ten coins stopped being minted. After that, when the ten coins are still used in some areas, but the reputation is too low, in the trade is extremely unpopular, the Great Song Dynasty government also once changed when the ten coins to when the five coins, when the three coins used, but in 1107 (the first year of the Grand View), Cai Jing again for the phase, less than a year to abolish the ten coins and open the furnace casting. In February of this year, the first minting of the "Daeguan Tongbao" of Huizong's imperial book was 10 coins, and the two minting institutions in Gyeonggi were restored, and at the same time, the 2 coins were recast to 10 coins again.

In the end, when Huang Jie was building roads in Wushan County, he accidentally caused a comprehensive collapse of Sichuan Qian Zheng, and this crazy Qian Zheng finally reined in. Even in the past few years, because Cai Jing no longer dared to make any moves in the money administration, the circulation of copper coins on the market has tended to stabilize, and the price of money has also appreciated from 780 and 90 Wen in previous years to 770 Wen now, and even in some remote places, 733 and 50 Wen can always be exchanged.

Don't underestimate the fluctuation of these few or dozens of yuan, in Tokyo's Bianliang City, maybe a coarse grain steamed bun costs three yuan, but in a small city, you may be able to buy two multigrain steamed buns or a large steamed bun with meat filling.

All in all, for now, Cai Jing's understanding of Huang Jie's "Lu Xuan's scheme" is: This kid is imitating the old man's old wisdom, and he does not follow the old road of money politics, and has started a new routine of bartering, which is teachable!

Think about it, use treasures such as medicine and glass as the capital, buy a large number of various civilian and military materials from neighboring countries, and then send them to Liao and Jin separately, secretly supporting them dog-eat-dog, if it can really be done, it is also a good move!

Cai Jing squinted his eyes, constantly making up for various possible situations and variables with a very fast thinking speed, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became. As the imperial master of the dynasty, he naturally has a very detailed grasp of the top military intelligence of the Liao State and the Jin State, after all, the Ministry of Military Affairs of the spy department of the Great Song Dynasty is not a dry meal, and the intelligence spying on the two countries is also at the national level, so I know that the two countries are now in a state of endless death.

Even Cai Jing privately predicted that even if this new version of the "Lu Xuan's Scheme" was exposed, they would have to eat it even if they pinched their noses in the face of the poison such as grain and equipment that were really delivered to the two countries.

In his opinion, if the price of the alliance is for the Great Song Dynasty to supply the Jin State with money and materials, and then let the Jin State fight the Liao State dog-eat-dog to the death, and finally weaken the power of the two countries, so that the Great Song Dynasty can take this opportunity to breathe and accumulate strength, why not?

It's just that the alliance at the national level is at most to give a little "year's gift", and it will also treat a "target", and now it seems that this new version of "Lu Xuan's strategy" is a better way to cure both the symptoms and the root causes!

After a long time, I heard a crackling sound, and a sesame oil giant candle burst a lamp, causing a flash of brilliance in the study, and finally recalled Cai Jing's thoughts. But after seeing that the old servant who was in charge of cutting the wick of the candle quickly came in and trimmed the wick of the giant candle, he leaned close to Cai Jing's ear and said a few words, and after he went out, Cai Jing also smiled and said, "Hehe! The official family is so fast, and they have already done it! ”

Having said that, Tong Guan, Gao Yu and Cai Yan (pronounced tiáo) in the study were all stunned.

Tong Guan and Gao Yu were okay, and after a little thought, they also understood, but as for Cai Ying, they were puzzled, so Cai Jing also smiled and said: "I just came to report, there are about one hundred and ten yellow gates in the forbidden world, and they should also go to the thirty-three families to issue secret decrees." ”

Liang Shicheng's idea is naturally good, and Huang Jie's suggestion "Grace comes from above" is also correct, so Zhao Guan's family suddenly sent more than 100 eunuchs out of the palace at this hour, and he must have made a secret decree to these merchants...... It doesn't matter at all!

The important thing is that Zhao Guanjia undoubtedly recognized Huang Jie's behavior and recognized this new version of "Lu Xuan's Scheme", which is the key!

Old Cai Jing coughed, stretched out his hand and beckoned, Cai Ying quickly took a spittoon made of mahogany to serve, and after Cai Jing spit, Cai Jing also stared at Tong Guan and Gao Yu and said: "Dao Fu, and let him do it, you wait to help from the side, if it becomes natural, it will not hurt if it is not successful, and the matter of the Jin Alliance should not be impatient, and you have to plan it slowly!" ”

Tong Guan crossed his hands and said with a sigh of relief, but Gao Yu asked: "Such a big event, is it really not involved in it?" ”

Cai Jing squinted his eyes, but said with a smile: "It's just a small profit, your family has a chariot alone, and you can't eat enough, but you still can't see it like this?" ”

Gao Yu said with a smile: "Don't dare to monopolize it, you still need the help of the Taishi and Brother Daofu!" ”

Immediately, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and Gao Yu all laughed in unison, and when Cai Ying laughed on the side, his eyes also flashed with fine light. (To be continued.) )
