After returning from the Great Song Dynasty, Ma Liksha immediately sent a huge delegation and specially selected translators to introduce the works of the Great Song Dynasty on a large scale and learn from the experience of the Great Song Dynasty in governing the country.

Seljuk and Da Song have joined forces, which is definitely not good news for Eagle Castle.

After years of operation, Huoshan has a strong force in the north of Seljuk, and it is so large that the empire can't do anything about them, but once Seljuk learns a full set of Great Song experience, it may not be.

The wise elders, as well as Moussavi, they all knew that the Great Song Dynasty had always been a secular society, and it had been the case for a thousand years, two thousand years, and they relied on the sages and the laws of their ancestors to govern the world, not by the will of any gods.

If the Seljuk Empire also became a secular society, it would undoubtedly be a disaster.

It's best that before the two empires cooperate, the Great Song will have a problem first, let them be finished!

Let this prosperity come to naught!

Only when they are finished will the light of God shine on the whole world.

There are not a few people like them who keep praying for the end of the Great Song Dynasty.

But the only one who can really make Da Song finish is himself!

As the helmsman of the empire, Wang Ningan is searching his stomach and thinking of a solution to the problem.

5 million stone of grain is not a small amount.

Even if you send troops to grab it, you must first find the target, and ask where else can you store 5 million stone of grain besides the Great Song Dynasty? And once the war starts, the jade is burned, and just sending troops will consume how much food will be consumed, and if it is defeated, the gains outweigh the losses. Even if the battle is won, the land is occupied, the seeds are sown, the harvest is waited, and then transported back to the Great Song Dynasty, it is estimated that the time will not be enough.

After all, between now and autumn, there is only half a year.

If you can't get enough food before winter, the cold winter will be enough to take hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of lives. Wang Ningan is not willing to bear this price no matter what.

"So...... There is only one way, and that is to cheat and deceive! ”

Xiao Guanyin said mercilessly: "Lord Wang, you should give full play to your ability to pit people to death and not pay for your life, hurry up and do the black, the darker the better, otherwise you will starve to death, and your image of wisdom and martial arts will be ruined!" ”

Wang Ningan rolled his eyelids and said helplessly: "You can't learn from them, you have to use some good words, such as peaceful exchanges, mutual benefit, coexistence and common prosperity, and common development...... All in all, if you can't control your mouth, you may really fall on your head...... You say yes, right? ”

Xiao Guanyin didn't bother to pay attention to Wang Ning'an's crooked reasoning, but he was actually in the mood to rap, and it seemed that there should be a way.

"Will the plan be released?"

"It's very simple, I'm going to visit the countries back." Wang Ningan smiled and said: "My Great Song Dynasty held a longevity ceremony, all countries came to the court, and now that the new monarch has ascended the throne, he should tell all countries and bring greetings and friendship from the kingdom." ”

Xiao Guanyin rolled his eyes and suddenly laughed.

"It's this set again, that's how you fooled Liao back then, and now you still want to do this? Aren't you afraid that people will see through it? ”

"Of course not!"

Wang Ningan smiled: "Some methods are unpleasant, you see!" ”

……

The next day, Wang Ningan convened the political affairs hall and the officials of the six ministries, and he proposed to form a return visit fleet, and to allocate 5 million yuan to purchase goods, hand them over to the fleet, carry them overseas, and reward the nations, so as to show the magnanimity of the Great Song Dynasty.

His set of statements immediately attracted heated discussions.

Some people are very supportive, the courtesies are still exchanged, people come to visit, Da Song should pay a return visit, and bring gifts, it is reasonable, but more people do not agree.

What are you kidding, Da Song owes a lot of debts, and he can't fill the holes, and he also gives money to give gifts to others, and he has a sick brain!

Is it really when something goes wrong when the kingdom is wrong, and it is better to wronged himself than to be worthy of the guests?

Could it be that the prince is also pedantic?

Or is he so immersed in the coming dynasty of all nations that he can't extricate himself?

Everyone will be skeptical, but Sima Guang, he knows the master too well, not to mention that the two of them have discussed how to make food to prepare for the famine.

"Do you have to use these goods to exchange for food?"

Wang Ningan smiled, "Yes, I calculated, we have all controlled the grain of Cham and Jiaozhi, and we can't get any more." Only by sea to Tianzhu, before buying war horses from Tianzhu, the sea route is quite familiar, I estimate, can get back 1 million stone grain from Tianzhu. ”

Sima Guang said: "I heard that Tianzhu has a vast territory and fertile land, and it shouldn't be difficult to get 1 million stone of grain, but this bit of grain is still not enough?" Can you buy a little more? ”

Wang Ningan shook his head, "No, the sea route is risky, and Tianzhu is divided, and the princes are everywhere, this trip may not be able to get what you want, and you can't bet your hopes on Tianzhu." ”

Ouyang Xiu immediately asked, "Then, where do you put it?" ”

"Wa Kingdom!"

Wang Ning'an explained: "The country is the closest to us, and the shipping route is familiar, starting from the wharf in Cangzhou and other places, you can use thousands of ships to transport food and materials, safe and reliable, and the time is also short, which is the best choice." ”

After that, there was no applause, on the contrary, many people looked disappointed.

Lord Wang, you have this ability, why are you weaker than before?

You don't want to think about it, the Wa country is so poor, there is nothing except gold, silver and sulfur, and you want to squeeze food from the Wa country and solve the famine in the Great Song Dynasty, isn't this asking Yu Blind?

Not feasible, not feasible at all!

"Huh...... I know your worries, it is true that there is not much food in the country, but after all, as a country, it is still a little accumulated, knocking out the bones and sucking the marrow, squeezing out millions of stones, which is very promising! ”

Everyone still shook their heads together, Lord Wang, the whole country of the Japanese country is not stupid, who will starve and give food to others, no matter how you look at it, it is unreliable.

Jia Changchao pondered for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Jingping, you don't want to sell Guanzi, tell me quickly, what are you going to do?" ”

"I'm going to give a generous gift to the Wa Kingdom, 3 million copper coins, and a lot of technology and workshops."

It's okay not to say it, but the more you talk about it, the more confused you become.

Wang Ningan also simply opened the skylight and told the big guy about his calculations.

……

The Great Song Dynasty faced many problems, one of which was the inflow of gold into the Western Regions, the increase in money supply, the reshuffling of prices, and the decay of the countryside, which also had something to do with this.

It can be seen that the sudden influx of a large amount of money is not a good thing.

With the size of the Great Song Dynasty, it is still unbearable, and if it falls on the Wa Kingdom, I am afraid that it will be able to blow them up.

"We are trying to find a way to flow this money into the Japanese country, causing their economic chaos and changing people's minds."

Song Zhen said curiously: "Does the prince mean that after disturbing the Wa Kingdom, he will then take advantage of the chaos to purchase grain?" ”

"No!"

Wang Ningan shook his head, "If we take action directly, it will only alert the Wa Kingdom, but it is not beautiful, what we should do is to let the Wa Guo himself hold the grain and send it over." ”

"That's what I plan, give the Wa Guo money and give them technology, and the Wa Guo will be like a child who suddenly grows up, full of energy, and has no place to vent...... The economic order is chaotic, and they will definitely move outward, that is, they will attack other countries. ”

Attacking other countries?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, does the Japanese have neighbors?

It seems that the nearest one is Goryeo, and it just faces each other across the sea!

Could it be that the Wa Kingdom would attack Goryeo?

Sima Guang was familiar with the history of the scriptures, and immediately remembered a battle - Baijiangkou!

In fact, this was an inconspicuous battle, both in the court and among the people, it seemed insignificant, far less magnificent than the defeat of Goguryeo.

Sima Guang knew about this battle because he was well-read and memorized, and of course he didn't take this battle too seriously, but he knew that this battle took place in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, when the Tang army and the Silla people joined forces to destroy Baekje, and the remnants of Baekje invited the Japanese to send troops, and the two sides fought at the mouth of the Baekjiang River.

The Tang Dynasty won more with less, cut off tens of thousands of ears, and gave them to the Wa Kingdom, and since then, it has laid a thousand years of peace, and after the Wa Kingdom was defeated, it also obediently sent Tang envoys to learn everything from the Tang Dynasty with an open mind, and it was very well-behaved.

And from then on, the Wa Kingdom ended the Kofun period and entered the feudal period.

In fact, although the Wa Kingdom is known as the first lineage, but they actually entered the dynastic period, very late, the whole is a very backward country, in the long history, the Wa State is also a dispensable role, completely a border island, a wild land.

Of course, in later history, a joke was made, because of the barbaric wilderness on the border, the Japanese were the first to contact industrial civilization, the first to complete industrialization, and became the most powerful country in Asia, and also became the first power outside the entire West.

It is precisely because of this that the Battle of Baijiangkou, as the first head-to-head confrontation between China and the Wa Kingdom, is very significant.

Wang Ning'an also specially studied that because the Japanese were on an island with frequent earthquakes, they were short of materials and had a difficult life, and they were extremely eager for land.

In the past, as long as the Wa Kingdom was unified and the power was strong, it would attack Goryeo without thinking twice.

The grain of the Wa Kingdom alone could not solve the problem of the Great Song Dynasty, but with the addition of Goryeo, the situation was different.

As long as the two countries were instigated to go to war, they would all need to buy weapons from the Great Song Dynasty and ask for support.

Once they go shopping, they will be red-eyed!

Not to mention food, even if they are exchanged for slaves, it will be no problem.

When the big guy heard this, he finally understood Wang Ningan's ghost idea, and also knew why he was secretive and unwilling to explain it directly!

You're so ruthless!

You're making food, you're eating human flesh!

But...... Not bad indeed!

But who can implement it?

Wang Ningan already had a candidate, and he asked Zhang Dun to be called back to the capital.

"Zihou, you know the situation of the Wa Kingdom, only you are the most suitable!"

"If I don't go, I won't die!" Zhang Dun suddenly had a haircut, and he remembered the experience of going to the Japanese country, and he went crazy!

Wang Ningan scratched his head, "What's that...... Zihou, I don't think there's any shame in it, isn't it just to recruit a samurai and leave a seed for others, adding up to more than 1,000 people, or do you share it with a group of people...... Nothing, really nothing......"

Zhang Dundu cried, "Master, where did you know that?" I've never said that! ”
