This night, after Tong Guan and the three of them ate and drank in Huang Jie's Yellow Building, they also dispersed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, Liang Shicheng ran back to the palace to report to Zhao Guan's family in a trot, while Tong Guan and Gao Yu entered the back door of Cai Jingtaishi's mansion one after the other.

Now, in Cai Jing's study, more than a dozen sesame oil giant candles from the south are in full bloom, and an old servant quickly bowed down and retreated after repairing the wick with silver scissors, but saw that in the study, there was a person standing and two people sitting, and Cai Jing and his old gentleman were lying on a Taishi chair made of precious golden silk nanmu with a calm expression.

"Huh! This son seems to have really won the essence of the old man Fengheng Yudaxue! ”

Lao Cai Jing squinted slightly, and his expression did not have the slightest unlucky appearance of having to resign and sue the old man because he had carried a big black pot again.

It's just that now after listening to the news brought by Tong Guan and Gao Yu, he has set off a monstrous wave in his heart.

First of all, the "Golden Jade Society" is really secretive enough, if it weren't for Tong Guan and Gao Yu coming to the door, he still wouldn't know about it. The second is that Huang Jie is fat enough, just heard that he killed two Jin envoys in front of Zhao Guan's family at the state banquet in Shengping Building, and one of them is still the deputy envoy of Zheng'er Bajing, so he blinked, and then made a "Golden Jade Meeting", and actually wanted to use his "old routine" to clean up the Liao State and the Jin State in the Western Xia, it is interesting to think about it.

When Comrade Cai cleaned up the Western Xia, the famous "ten dollars"!

"When ten coins" was first in the first year of Song Renzong Kangding (1040 AD), when the Song army attacked the Western Xia, Shaanxi supply military funds were insufficient, so the court was invited to cast a large copper coin and a small flat coin in parallel, the big copper coin to one for ten, and then made ten iron coins as an auxiliary.

On the face of it, this is undoubtedly a bad policy.

At that time, the weight of the people's small flat money was about 1 yuan (5-6 grams), and the weight of a ten copper coin was about 3 yuan (15-18 grams).

The second is that such an unfair monetary system reform has also triggered the prevalence of private piracy, the casting of copper coins at that time is not considered a very confidential technology, as long as you make a mold, with a charcoal furnace can turn the copper into copper water and cast it by itself, so the people naturally have a large number of smart people to exchange small flat money and then steal the casting when ten dollars to make a lot of money, and even many times because the process is not up to par, some of the folk thieves when the ten coins are actually better than the official mint in terms of quality, and even once there was a strange phenomenon of counterfeit money expelling real money.

This is because the official casting of ten coins thought that it was necessary to take into account the relationship between mold rate, rust resistance and yield rate, and a certain ratio of lead and tin should be added in the process of copper casting, and the folk thieves mostly made a small furnace to dry, and the copper materials were mostly copper coins and various low-cost copper coins and copper materials collected in secret.

Besides, although this kind of stolen copper coins are more prone to rust and wear and tear in actual use, and are more difficult to preserve than the official money with a bad color, the private currency seems to be better than the official money.

As for taking it home and hiding it in the cellar, when it is taken out in a few years, the degree of rust of this private currency will be very serious, and it can even break the rope that wears the money, but what does it matter, just ask someone to take the potion and wash it.

So later, the money law was in chaos, making the common people miserable, and the imperial court gradually calmed down the chaos of the money law after frequent adjustments to the money law.

As a result, when Cai Jing was the prime minister, he once again proposed and implemented the use of Shaanxi big money to cast ten coins, and he seemed to borrow the ancestral system on the surface to obtain the legitimacy of the currency reform, but in fact he quietly launched an unusually tragic currency war against the Western Xia.

At that time, Zhao Ji, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, had just come to power, and Li Qianshun of Western Xia had just used the power of the Liao State to destroy his own mother, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, and was in charge of the government, and was trying to improve the relationship with the Great Song Dynasty, so he also united with the Great Song Dynasty to come up with a new policy of "Chongning Kaibian".

In July of the first year of Tian'an Liding (1086), the old Empress Dowager Liang (Li Qianshun's grandmother) and Li Bingchang died successively, and Li Qianshun was the emperor at the age of 3.

At that time, he and his brother Liang Yikui relied on the prestige of the Liang family's "one family and two queens" to expand the power of the mother party internally, firmly control the power of the government, and also set up things to frame Li Bingchang's old cronies and old ministers, and cracked down on and excluded them.

In order to alleviate the contradictions between the economy and people's livelihood in the Western Xia, they also followed the example of the previous dynasties, and still pursued a war policy of reckless military force, and used the continuous use of troops against the Song Dynasty to divert the domestic crisis.

In the 13 years from the 11th year of Da'an (1085) to the 2nd year of Yong'an (1099), Xia launched more than 50 large and small wars against the Song Dynasty, some more than six or seven times in a year. While Liang Yikui frequently attacked the Song Dynasty, he also exchanged appointments with the Song Dynasty tributary envoys, and there were endless contacts. He often claimed to his subordinates when he gathered troops to attack the Song Dynasty: "The reason why I have raised troops to the south for years is because I want the Song Dynasty to be afraid of me and want to seek peace for the country." ”

Liang Yikui gradually abused power, and later gradually developed to try to control the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, and even tried to usurp the power of his own sister.

In October of the third year of You'an in the Western Xia Dynasty (1092), in the battle of Huaiqing in Song and Xia, the Empress Dowager Liang personally led the troops to fight and did not grant Liang Yikui the right to command the army.

In October of the fifth year of the reign of You'an (1094), Empress Dowager Xiao Liang received a report of Liang Yi's conspiracy to rebel, and she, with the support of the imperial ministers Wei Ming Ah Wu and Ren Duo Baozhong, arrested and killed Liang Yiqi and his family. Empress Dowager Xiaoliang eliminated dissident forces, took power personally, held the young Li Qianshun hostage, and continued to use troops against the Song Dynasty.

In October of the seventh year of Tianyou Min'an (1096), Li Qianshun under the holy order of his mother Empress Dowager Xiaoliang, his mother-in-waiting drove a personal expedition, gathered 500,000 troops, invaded the Song Dynasty's Yanyan Road, and captured Jin Mingqi. In this battle, the captured Song prisoners were also sacrificed to Liao.

In October of the first year of Yong'an (1098), the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang made Li Qianshun recognize, and she personally led the 400,000 people to compete with the Song Dynasty for Pingxia City (now Ningxia Guyuan), and attacked for 13 days, the city was not captured, and the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was attacked by a storm again in the case of lack of grain and grass, and fled in defeat. He also sent people to Liao for help.

In the second year of Yong'an (1099), Liao Daozong saw that the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang was arbitrary, and she was unpopular and could not give support, so he sent people to Xia, killed the Empress Dowager Liang, and ordered Li Qianshun to govern at the age of 16. (To be continued.) )
