The largest secret treaty between the Song and Xia was officially signed, and the Xia magnates really couldn't understand the intentions of the Great Song Empire, so they sent money, lifted trade sanctions, took the initiative to sell arms, comprehensively upgraded diplomatic relations, and even did not hesitate to pay part of their sovereignty (

Diplomatic immunity has not yet appeared in the Eastern world). This unprecedented attitude of the victorious powers puzzled them and made them overjoyed, and they hurriedly signed this treaty, which seemed to have all the benefits and no harm.

In the eyes of a small number of middle-level officials who know the specific terms and conditions without knowing the truth, this is tantamount to a traitorous act, especially if they know that their country is the victorious country. (These people have no right or channel to divulge the terms, and all of them are insignificant petty officials who have been warned by the ministers.) Not only will no one believe it, but they will also be sentenced to a heavy sentence in Danzhou for the crime of leaking state secrets) Although most of the leaks that have been stopped by relying on public opinion control and warnings have been stopped, a very small number of morally upright and patriotic officials still can't help but leak it. These behaviors that threatened the plan were immediately reported to Liu Da's technical director and Wang Xinyu by the fully monitored intelligence monitoring team (the eavesdroppers are not for dry meals). Relying on the prestige and personality charm of Su Shi and his ministers for many years, he finally completed the brake action to stop the leak without danger.

In the end, the biggest risk of leaking secrets is the risk that the magnates on the Western Xia side may not be able to keep their mouths, so no matter how the terms stipulate the punishment that will be faced for leaking information, it is useless, so the number of people involved in the signing of the terms is directly limited, and the number of Xia magnates and officials who have seen the treaty will not exceed 5, and the people who execute it are all subordinates and secretly planted chess pieces. The money was sent directly from the Song Xia Trading Company to the branch of Xingqing Mansion, and then the cash cheque was directly deposited into the private accounts of the various magnates who had negotiated the division of the increased part of the New Year's coin. Contact trade sanctions are also limited to the bulk trade between the Song Xia Trading Company, which monopolizes the commodity trade in the sanctioned area, and the trade supervisors of the major tribes and the Xia government. Naturally, the traversal will not show its feet, and the Xia Kingdom, which is secretly rich, will naturally take the initiative to erase all traces, and even if there is a mistake, it can be pushed to the smuggling to deal with it. The opening of embassies and special business zones cannot avoid the people, so it will be implemented three years later (whether the existence of the Xia State will exist in three years is still a question mark).

The traversing people who had achieved the main goal were naturally relieved, and the magnates of the Xia Kingdom, who had been sold and thought they had made a lot of money, laughed at the sudden brain-dead of the Great Song Empire while discussing how to spend the money, but they didn't know how Su Shi and the others were calculating how to suck every cent of the national strength of the Xia Kingdom without showing off while sighing at the demon-like means of crossing the people. At the strategic meeting held by the cross-public, it was decided to take a multi-pronged plan and move forward in a multi-pronged manner.

First, in the cold background of the Xiaoice River period, the purchase price of wool and velvet animal products was raised, and a large amount of grain exports suppressed the grain price of Xia Guo, forcing Xia Guo to convert fertile land into grassland, destroying the planting industry in its agriculture, and controlling the grain price of Xia Guo in the hands of the traversal.

Second, to destroy the only competitive luxury industry in the Xia Kingdom, the felt carpet, to export cheap textiles in large quantities and to convert the purchased wool and camel hair into better high-end goods (mechanical textiles obviously could not be lost to handmade textiles) and sell them back to its territory.

Thirdly, the snow-white refined salt produced by the newly opened Changlu salt plant will be transported to the northwest through the Yellow River and Weihe River and highways to compress the sales space of green salt, and at the same time, in order to reduce the sales pressure of Jiezhou Pond salt, a sodium sulfate plant will be opened as an important acid and alkali chemical raw material center in the north.

Fourth, promote the planting of a large number of fruit trees in the northwest region and the development of animal product processing industry, such as wool weaving, printing and dyeing, tanning, brushes, horn combs, leather goods, as a transit station for the processing of raw materials for the export of animal products in the summer country, most of which are sold domestically and a small amount are re-sold. In order to boost the local economy, reduce the pressure on military logistics in the northwest and the financial pressure on the central government.

Fifth, a large amount of borrowing from the Western Xia, mainly for the consumption of the elite and national infrastructure loans, the form of borrowing is not cash, but luxury goods and building materials. Even if the nobles who got the luxury goods did not use them themselves, they could make a profit by selling them to the rich and powerful in other neighboring countries, and they could make a lot of money by paying off the loan immediately, and they could open up export sales through the crowd, and they could buy people's hearts and tie them to chariots at the same time. The magnates who make money also save their money in the financial system of Chenji Bank, which has stable interest income, to maintain and increase their value according to the plan. Loans for infrastructure construction are the idea of the fathers of the party and the people who consume the people's and national strength. These materials are nominally used for the construction of water conservancy projects or to improve national power, such as the development of mines, the construction of roads, bridges, cities, and fortresses, but it is clear that unregulated loans will be misappropriated. More than 80% of them were used to build the private estates and royal gardens of the magnates.

The main body of these loans is a wholly-owned bank that is fully controlled by Guozhong, and the money and materials lent out are actually only 20% of the loan amount according to the internal settlement price.

And the collateral is all the land of the magnates and the state-owned land or royal land of the Xia State. These lands are worthless grasslands and wastelands, so the area is huge. Even if they don't repay the loan and the collateral is confiscated by the bank, the elites will not feel distressed. Obviously, both the borrower and the borrower think that they are taking advantage, but the result must be that the crossing crowd has taken advantage. The land deliberately chosen by the traversers is a 'treasury' for the development of minerals and oil and gas fields, and the least can be converted into comprehensive management of woodland and pastures for horse farming. The simplification and colonization of the national economy was the planning of the future of the Xia Kingdom, which was guided to rely only on the primary products of exporting cattle, sheep, horses, wool and minerals, and the country could not support the consumption of the increasingly large feudal imperial elites. Just as Spanish Latin America could not support the finances of the Spanish Empire. The travelers knew that Spain would have been reduced to a third-rate country if it had not been for the constant inflow of gold and silver from the Americas to support the huge superstructure, and to be reduced to a third-rate country after the elimination of its own manufacturing industry.

Although the Xia State was a nomadic tribal form of feudalism and sinicization, there was no reason for the survival of the value of the occupation of agricultural peoples, and once it became a commercial national colonial element, then the Great Song Empire, which gradually became the mainstream, could easily find excuses and reasons to occupy it. This series of dumping was all aimed at weakening the combat power and national strength of Western Xia. If, after helping Xia issue treasury bonds, he guided the Western Xia to accumulate debts that exceeded the state revenue, and declared bankruptcy, he could easily get everything from the Western Xia. During the meeting, the public also had a detailed discussion on the types of imported commodities in the northwest.

"I don't think we need horses as our future priority industry!" Qian Jin slapped the table and shouted.

"I know you're a cult of the Mechanicus, but we haven't entered the Industrial Revolution yet! Before the advent of the internal combustion engine, or before the popularization of the practical internal combustion engine, we still needed a lot of horses as a source of power and a means of land transportation. ”

"Yes, old money, we need at least five years of preparation to produce an internal combustion engine that can be used in the original car, as for the steam engine and the train is too expensive, if we want to avoid duplicate construction and waste of resources, it will take more time to prepare technology and prototypes directly on the diesel locomotive or electric locomotive, and the upgrade of the production line will take time, and the original machine tool does not need to spend time upgrading to semi-automatic machine tools if it wants to produce cylinders for internal combustion engines? At least upgrade to a silk-meter-level precision machine, right? Doesn't a lot of related technologies to deal with and tackle key problems make you have no time to pick up girls every day? ”

"You don't want to open a pot! He was just so busy that he forgot the progress of the plan, and the old money, who was used to modern life, was a little out of touch with reality and the masses. We need to fully understand and support you! The import of horses and the development of the industry will also be a priority. Even if we enter the era of the electric revolution and do not need horses to decorate the façade, the price of a thoroughbred is enough to compete with the top luxury cars, and the era of the information revolution is not the era of millions of people living on horses? Horse racing, horse betting, horse breeding, and equestrian sports are no less than the green and pollution-free industries of the internal combustion engine industry! The world's top horse racing event costs far more than F1! ”

"Also, after our industrial upgrading, the horse breeding industry in our hands can also engage in high-end service-oriented transformation and upgrading. As far as the current reality is concerned, horse breeding and imported horses are still an important strategic industry and a key industry, and China has never been a horse-producing country, and the gap between supply and demand has always been very large. If there were enough horses, it would not be so difficult to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun or even destroy the Liao State in the Cold Weapon Era.

Besides, even if our country relies on a mule-horse army to defeat a mechanized enemy army, it does not mean that we will always rely on military horses and mules and horses as a mechanical power source. Mechanization is the mainstream and inevitable development direction in the future.

Therefore, we can neither ignore this industry, nor fall into a frenzy, with the operation of the market and the background of the times, this industry is on the line, and there is no need to force it. The source of imports does not need to be closely focused on the northwest and Tibet, after all, the horses of the plateau can no longer serve in the warm and humid areas, and the warm-blooded horses in the north are not very suitable for the climate of the south. We are ready to import and breed horses according to the principle of the same latitude. Horses in the northwest can also only be sold north of 35°. The north is dominated by land transportation, the demand for horses is large, the south is dominated by water transportation, and the demand is small, the share of imports from Dali and the south should be reduced and controlled, and the share of imports from Western Xia and the northwestern countries should be increased, and the pastures of Goryeo and Japan should be opened, Jeju Island and Hokkaido Island are good, oh no, it should be called Tamna Island and Ezo Island now. Li Ji came out again and thinned the mud, emphasizing that he would not be ultra-left or ultra-right, and would always remain rational and modest.

"In my eyes, the best breeds of military horses are the British thoroughbreds, the German Hanoverian horses, the Akha-Takma (sweaty BMW), the French Serra. The French horse, the Spanish Andalusian horse, the Danish Friedrichsburg horse, the Budyonny horse and the Don hippopotamus of North Asia, and the Mongolian horse, the Ili horse, the Three Hippos of China, etc. The existing conditions only allow us to choose Mongolian horses, and other breeds are either too far away or have not yet appeared. As long as we controlled the bulk trade with Western Xia, it was only a matter of time before we could buy military horses in bulk from the Hetao region or the Mongolian plateau. We don't need to spend a penny, we can exchange for enough cattle, sheep and horses with the necessities of life such as iron pots and salt, which is not only a matter of profit, but also a matter of the reputation of my travelers. Whoever travels back in time to ancient times and still makes less than 6,000% of the windfall profits on trade, I despise him. Wang Xinyu is used to smuggling, and he seems to be the embodiment of the pride of an upstart.
