In the inner part of "Mencius Tells the World", there is a saying in "Born in Sorrow and Died in Peace": "If you enter, you will not be able to fight at home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info'

It is said that if a country does not have courtiers with the law at home and wise men who can assist the monarch, if there is no external trouble from a hostile country abroad, the country will often perish.

In the end, it came to the conclusion that he was born in sorrow and died in peace.

In fact, this conclusion is, in a sense, very correct.

Since Jiang Yin established the New Song Kingdom in Cangzhou, for the Great Song Dynasty, it is really internal and external troubles, but it is the promotion of this internal and external troubles that has made the Great Song Dynasty burst out with development potential much higher than the original history.

Not only did he destroy the Northern Han Dynasty in the second year of the Taiping Rejuvenation of the Kingdom, two years earlier than in history, but Zhao Guangyi's vigorous military efforts made the armed forces of the Great Song Dynasty unprecedentedly strong.

This was indeed a bit unexpected by Jiang Yin, but it was reasonable, so he didn't react excessively.

Da Song's strength and weakness are no different in his eyes now.

Today's Central Plains form, the Great Song Dynasty, the New Song Dynasty, and the Liao State vaguely formed a three-legged trend in the Central Plains, but the gunpowder between the Great Song Dynasty and the New Song Dynasty was stronger, after all, in essence, the New Song Dynasty was still a puppet regime separated from the Great Song Dynasty.

For these three kingdoms, the Song State and the Liao State are already old rivals, and the strength of both sides now knows each other's roots, and no one can destroy anyone, so the budding new Song State has become an important chess piece in determining the balance of victory and defeat.

But Jiang Yin doesn't think that Xin Song is a chess piece, in his eyes, Xin Song is the referee of this game of chess, no matter who wins or loses, in the end, his salary is correct.

In this state of mind, he easily ran out to inspect the territory he now owned.

The African Drill Pit, the four states of the New Song Dynasty, the Big Island of Australia, and the last one is the island nation of Japan.

The production progress of the African drill pit has now entered a period of peace, and with the large number of people transporting it, the area around the Kimberley diamond mine in South Africa has developed into a small and medium-sized city, and the daily production of diamonds from the pit is stable and orderly.

As Jiang Yin's first development of a money-making territory, the development of the Kimberley region of South Africa is quite good, from the modern continuous delivery of a large number of materials, the degree of modernization here has basically reached the level of the sixties and seventies of the twentieth century.

In order to keep the nationality and life of the Han people, Jiang Yin still built a small city wall on the empty South African grassland.

For the Han people, as long as there is a city wall and a house in the city wall, then this is the hometown.

There are still many indigenous people in the grasslands of South Africa, and after the first discovery of the Song people in clothes, they also showed surprise that they were black and unswerving, and then they were curious and worshipped.

The Song people lived in the city every day, working from sunrise to sunset, and their main job every day was to collect diamonds.

When some of the blacks found out about this, they gradually began to collect some diamonds, and finally one day, the leader of a tribe came to the New Song people with some of his bravest warriors, who held diamonds and offered to exchange them for the shoes they were wearing.

A pair of shoes only costs twenty yuan, and a small diamond can get a commission of 100 yuan, and the Han people who collect the diamonds are so happy that they hurriedly make a deal with the blacks.

From this time the trade was unstoppable, and the men, women, and children of that tribe were mobilized in search of diamonds, and it goes without saying that these local blacks were much more familiar with the land under their feet than the Han Chinese.

They got a lot of diamonds in a short period of time, and then they had to trade with the Han people.

Pots and pans, as big as wooden carts, as small as fruit knives, in short, anything used by the Han people has a strong attraction to those black people, and they are willing to exchange the diamonds in their hands.

The Han people are probably the most civilized race in the world, and people who have been framed by Confucian orthodoxy for thousands of years will not do anything too far beyond the etiquette, although the Han people will covet some small bargains in the trade, but even the most uneducated Han people do not bother to snatch the diamonds in the hands of those black people.

In this regard, there is an essential difference between the Han nationality and those people in later generations who ostensibly wore the skin of white friendliness and secretly invaded other countries, burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil.

The Han people obtained a large number of diamonds, received more wages after handing them in, and they used the wages to buy more and better items from the supermarket, while the black people gave the Song people those diamonds they didn't need at all, and they could exchange them for tools that were 100 times better from the Song people, and this win-win deal made both parties very satisfied.

When Jiang Yin came to Africa, he was also very funny when he heard about the business between blacks and Han Chinese, and he also wanted to see how the transaction between the two sides was carried out, so he also directly mobilized a large number of goods from the supermarket, intending to see how two peoples with completely different languages, cultures, beliefs, and religions did business harmoniously a thousand years ago.

At the end of June 977, when the sun was already scorching and the temperature was quite high in South Africa, Jiang Yin followed Wang Xiaowu, who led the way, all the way to the base of the outer city wall of Kimberley City.

In the shade of the wall, there were already black men standing in the shade of the city wall, holding small bags or carrying large bags, and one by one poked their heads to look at the city gate, their eyes revealing expectation.

Wang Xiaowu has now been appointed by Jiang Yin as the deputy city lord of Kimberley City in Africa, when the city lord is not there, he is responsible for the operation of the entire city, the young and clever and old Wang Xiaowu is also very mature, and some system regulations make Jiang Yin trust this young man who is quite spiritual.

"Lord, look at it, the people at the root of the city wall over there are all members of the Ah Tu tribe, and they were the first to make deals with us, and the diamonds they provided were also good, so at the end of every month, we will come here to exchange with them."

"Hmm" Jiang Yin nodded, "Can we go over and have a look now?" ”

"Yes, my lord, do you see it, over there, there are already many Han people who take things they don't use to exchange them." Wang Xiaowu pointed to the root of the city wall in the distance, and then said with some flattery: "The lord of the country brought more goods this time than we sold before, this time those Ah Tu people are probably going crazy with joy.....

Jiang Yin glanced over there, and really found that a group of black people had formed a circle around something, as if they were watching something, which looked quite funny........
