"What does Master Hou mean is that the two of us want to go overseas to guard the property for Master Hou?" After Lotte revealed his overseas industrial consolidation, General Lu was taken aback for a while before he said.

Lotte said: "Looking at my Great Song Dynasty, Khitan, Western Xia, Goryeo, and Dongying countries, only my Great Song Dynasty has a 'money supervisor' to supervise the minting of coins, and the Khitan, Western Xia, and Goryeo Dongying all use our Great Song Dynasty coins as currency, so that a country mints money and uses it in several countries, so that copper coins are far below the market value, and folk copper casters can often get several times the benefits.

In order to get the money of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao people and the Western Xia 'went out of the border pass with heavy cars', and the Goryeo, Dongying, and Jiaozhi countries returned with a full load. 'Even if Li Tang minted dozens of times more money in this dynasty, it is still not enough, in addition to the outflow of copper coins, there are more wealthy families hoarding copper coins, so that my Great Song Dynasty money shortage is heavier, and the 'money shortage' is heavier, the more prosperous the wind of storing coins, in the long run, my Great Song Dynasty will be in danger! ”

After thinking about it for a while, General Lu asked: "What Hou Ye said before, the trouble of the Great Song Dynasty is not inside but outside, but what is it here?" ”

"Le means here!" Lotte said perfunctorily.

Lotte can only be perfunctory like this, is it possible to tell the truth that the Great Song Dynasty died at the hands of the Jurchens in the future, and the two emperors became prisoners of others?

Since the two of them think so, Lotte might as well push it like this: "I have a country in the Great Song Dynasty to mint money and use it in several countries, so that all countries can use all the methods used to smuggle money from our country, and the money shortage will continue like this for a long time, what will the court pay for the army, and what barter will the people take?" ”

General Lu nodded and said: "What Hou Ye said is that there is a 'money shortage' in Zhejiang and Zhejiang every year, the government does not collect taxes, and our small people cannot sell their things, and it is difficult to remember both of them." ”

"The 'money shortage' is not only unique to our dynasty, since the previous dynasty Li Tang has begun to appear since the Kaiyuan period, but it has become more and more serious in this dynasty!" Lotte continued: "Since Le became an official, it is common for the imperial court to be anxious due to the 'money shortage', as Brother Lu said, my Great Song Dynasty's 'money shortage' has many seasonal factors, such as the summer harvest and autumn harvest season, which is easy to appear when collecting and paying taxes.

In addition, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are most prone to 'money shortage', the reason is that the dynasty has been self-reliant, with Jiangsu and Zhejiang and other places being the most developed, and the products are also rich, and it has always been a place prone to 'money shortage'.

The reason for this is that the 'money shortage' in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is related to the fact that copper coins were smuggled abroad in large quantities by merchants who went to sea, and secondly, because of the imperial court of this dynasty, although the money prison was located in the southeast, a large amount of money must be supplied to Biandu and the northwest border army first, and then it can be circulated to the two Zhejiang, so that the supply of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is slightly insufficient. ”

General Lu and Chen Hoop are the think tanks of Fang La's subordinates, and it is okay to send troops to fight and come up with ideas, but when they come into contact with finance and other government affairs, they are immediately stunned, and they did not expect that just copper coins would be said by Lotte Such a big number of truths.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Lotte is reasonable, and it makes the two of them touch a level that they have not been exposed to before, which is the realm problem, and the two of them used to be exposed to at most some chicken and dog preaching problems, and then not the battlefield of fighting and killing, finance is obviously a more profound knowledge of the first two, which leads the two to worship Lotte.

After careful analysis of Lotte's performance since he led the army into the two Zhejiang, compared with Lotte's excellence, Fang La's performance was only indecisive and shallow, and there were all kinds of unwillingness to forge ahead, and Lotte was not at the same level at all, and the defeat was reasonable.

After only a few hours, the two were completely impressed by Lotte's series of words, and also made the two feel that following Lotte's side would achieve greater success by Fang La's side.

Chen hoop said: "Therefore, Hou Ye intends to lay out overseas silver mining to alleviate the pressure of the Great Song Dynasty's money shortage!" ”

"Not bad!" Lotte nodded: "Only in this way can I relieve the pressure of my 'money shortage' in the Great Song Dynasty." ”

The "money shortage" of the Song Dynasty began in the Tang Dynasty, plagued the two Song Dynasty for three hundred years, and repeatedly dealt a heavy blow to the two Song Dynasty, until the Ming Dynasty poured a large amount of silver into China, and completely got rid of the "money shortage".

"One or two silver coins can be exchanged for two copper coins, two copper coins weigh about three catties, one hundred taels of silver is only more than six catties, and the copper coins are converted into six hundred catties, and the silver instead of money is not only easy to carry, but also makes the 'money shortage' disappear into nothingness." Chen hoop bucket couldn't help nodding and said.

"Hou Ye is talented, Lu Jiang will never be able to do it, I am willing to listen to Hou Ye's drive!" Lu will bow deeply to Lotte and make it clear that he will return to Lotte.

Seeing General Lu's expression, Chen Hoop Bucket also said with a gift: "Hou Ye's life-saving grace, Chen Hoop Bucket is difficult to repay, I am willing to listen to Hou Ye's dispatch." ”

While holding his hands weakly, Lotte nodded: "The identity of the two, everyone in Zhejiang and Zhejiang knows, no one knows, and it is the most suitable to send the two to be on an overseas business trip!" ”

……

As soon as the source of the gang was raised, Fang La and his generals were captured, and the chaos of Fang La, which was poisoned by the fire of war for a while, was almost extinguished, and only a few remnants remained in the southeast.

The news spread to Biandu, the court monarchs and ministers congratulated, and Lotte Xin's command captured Fang La alive can be described as a great contribution, the court was a voice of praise, but after the praise, a group of officials began to make different voices, and they pointed the finger at Lotte, the first is that Lotte is both in charge of the military and the two Zhejiang envoys, and it is not a good thing to set the military and political power of the two Zhejiang.

is in charge of both military power and local political power, only the former Tang Dynasty secession of the festival envoy has this ability, after a long time, it is not the emperor who hangs up, it is not a good thing. Zhao Ji thought about it, what the following officials said was also right, and immediately sent a decree to let Lotte unload his military power and hand it over to Tong Guan.

Starting from the source of the gang, just walked to Fuyang, Lotte received an edict from the imperial court, Lotte did not care, and even had preparations in his heart, after all, this dynasty is extremely sensitive to the power of the army, and there are very few people in this dynasty who both command the army and care for the people, and immediately pass the holy decree to the generals under his command, and order these generals to lead the army under the command of Tong Guan.

Lotte knows better in his heart that since the incident in Fangla, the officials and soldiers of the officialdom of the two Zhejiang provinces were either killed by the rebel army, or abandoned the city and fled in embarrassment.

Originally, the horses of the Great Song Dynasty were ornaments, and very few were given real jobs. And he, the son-in-law of the Emperor of the Horses, both led the troops to fight and served as the envoy of the two Zhejiang, which obviously opened a precedent for the Great Song Dynasty, and after the situation in the two Zhejiang provinces stabilized, he would be replaced immediately.

Therefore, Lotte made up his mind in his heart and took advantage of his limited time in Hangzhou to fully spread out the layout of the two Zhejiang.

In fact, after Zhao Ji resigned from Lotte's official position, some officials continued to give advice under the instruction of Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao, Bai Shi and others, and asked Zhao Ji to send someone to Hangzhou to take over the post of Lotte and Zhejiang envoys, and the reason was also very simple, according to the customary system of this dynasty, the emperor's son-in-law could not be given real power.

The ancestral system is so stipulated, but although Zhao Ji is a faint monarch, he is still very humane, Lotte still has Maode Emperor Ji as the emperor's son-in-law, and Lotte is excluded from the court, so that Lotte is idle, Zhao Ji is a little sorry for Lotte.

However, because of the flower stone gang made Fang La in the southeast to make a rebellion, with millions of troops raging in the two Zhejiang no one can match, the western army is maintained in the summer realm, the court has no available generals, and the time of crisis must not rise only to use Lotte to rate 50,000 horses to the south to quell the chaos, it is Lotte to say that he has issued an edict to sin himself, Zhao Ji is just a smile so that Lotte has no worries, and now Lotte does not live up to the expectations of success in one fell swoop, if he unloads Lotte's military power at this time, and then makes it return to Beijing, will not make Lotte chill, so that the world people say that they cross the river and tear down the bridge, and the bird is hidden in the bow.

Therefore, no matter how the official advised, Huizong Zhao Ji never answered.

……

Outside the city of Hangzhou, because of the removal of military power, Yu quietly Letian's honor guard unloaded a few ceremonial cards,

"Welcome to Marquis Le!"

A few miles away from Yuhangmen, Lotte was dozing off in the car when he suddenly heard someone shouting loudly in front of him.

"Congratulations to the triumphant ...... of Lord Le"

As soon as the man's voice fell, a sound shook the sky, and the sound of the tide of Qiantang came into his ears.

When Lotte was surprised and wanted to send someone to check what was going on, Shakuchi excitedly came over and shouted: "Hou Ye, the people of Hangzhou have gone out of the city for three miles to welcome Hou Ye's triumphant return!" ”

Lifting the curtain, Lotte saw dense crowds of people standing on both sides of the official road, and his eyes were full of excitement and joy.

Lotte still remembers that when he left Qiantang, although he had made a lot of achievements in Qiantang, he had deliberately worked hard for fear of leaving the desert, and he was still very surprised when he came to Hangzhou this time.

When he was surprised, Lotte's eyes were aimed at a few familiar squires located in the holes, among which there were Wang Yuanwai, the father of his own Wang concubine, and Bai Yuanwai, the stepfather of Mo Yan's concubine, and immediately became meaningful, realizing that there would be such a scene today, and eight or nine times out of ten were arranged by the two of them in advance.

Someone came to greet him, and it was arranged, as a generation of actors, Lotte naturally had to get out of the car and make a polite salute to match the kindness of the two fathers-in-law.

After a polite salute, when he came to greet Wang Yuanwai and Bai Yuanwai, Lotte lowered his voice and asked with a smile: "Today's matter, is it arranged by the two fathers-in-law?" ”

"It's not the two of us who did it today!" Wang Zuo shook his head: "Not long after the two of us returned to Hangzhou from Zhoushan, there were Hangzhou gentry who invited me to go out of the city to greet the Hou Ye on the day he returned to Hangzhou. ”

The white clerk on the side nodded.

Looking at the appearance, the two are telling the truth.

……

Disguised as the guards, Lu Jiang and Chen Hoop Bucket looked at the scene in front of them, and their hearts were not only surprised but also puzzled.

When the two sighed that the people's hearts were changeable, Wu Song said: "Hou Ye used to be honest and honest when he was an official in Qiantang and Hangzhou, and he was deeply loved by the people. ”
