"Nanguo is really heroic, he is a teenager, and he also has such dialectics...... When you see the young heroes of the southern country today, you should drink a cup. ”

Yelu Yanxi took the wine from her daughter and said in a calm tone.

But Yelu Yu Liyan's hand trembled, and his face turned pale.

She knew very well that if her father was so calm, it would prove that he was murderous in his heart!

She hurriedly looked at Zhou Quan, wanting to make a look at Zhou Quan, but Zhou Quan was not looking at her, which made her feel uncertain.

Zhou Quan smiled and put down the wine glass that had been held in his hand for a long time, and bowed to Yelu Yanxi: "What the foreign minister just said is actually just a terrifying word...... What the foreign minister really wanted to say was that since the Great Liao and the Great Song Dynasty were similar in strength, why not pursue common interests? ”

This can be described as a big turning point, originally Yelu Yanxi was already full of murderous intent, and the magnates of the Liao State were secretly angry, but they were shocked by his words.

What is ...... Common good? Yelu Yanxi asked.

"It's what the minister once said to His Majesty, the matter of building a city on the border between the two countries!"

Zheng Yunzhong and Tong Guan both knew that Zhou Quan came with a mission, and Zhao Ji allowed Zhou Quan to join the mission, firstly to add a little seniority to Zhou Quan, and secondly, to complete this mission.

What they didn't expect was that Zhou Quan had already met Yelu Yanxi before, and had already told Yelu Yanxi about his plan.

It's just that Yelu Yanxi is still very hesitant, after all, Zhou Quan's plan is a bit whimsical.

Zhou Quan continued: "Although the two countries now have a market and a mutual market, there are many smugglers and tax evaders. If a city is set up, and merchants are allowed to enter the transaction directly, and the Yaren only supervises and sets taxes, then the benefits of the mutual market will belong to the imperial courts of the two countries......"

What Zhou Quan said is actually one thing, on the border of Song and Liao, set up a special economic zone!

In the past, the transaction was very cumbersome, and the merchants of the two countries could not trade directly, and had to go through the intermediary of the tooth people and resell them by the government, so many merchants were smuggled. However, in the special economic zone known as Rongcheng, merchants from the two countries were allowed to trade directly, and the Ya people sent by the government only supervised and set taxes during negotiations between the two sides, so as to prevent the leakage of military secrets and prohibited items. At the same time, the city also raised the symbolic tax revenue in the past to increase revenue.

Zhou Quan has done his homework, even now, only Xiongzhou, Bazhou, Ansu Army, and Guangxin Army, the four fields of Hebei, can get more than 400,000 yuan of income every year.

After the establishment of the city, these more than 400,000 guan will become 1 million, 2 million or even 4 million guan. Because of the large amount of smuggling trade, it will be incorporated into the city, and the total amount of trade between the two sides will also increase.

If the city can be established, the Great Song Dynasty also drew a cake, that is, some of the goods that were originally prohibited from being sold or purchased also entered the city, which could increase a tax source.

For example, the original Great Song Dynasty banned the export of some books, but if there was a city, it could be released. Originally, Liaoyan was forbidden to enter Hebei, and the Great Song Dynasty was also willing to show sincerity and allowed Liaoyan to enter the country.

Of course, correspondingly, the Liao State must also allow the wine and salt of the Song State to enter its market through Yucheng, and should also open the export of leather goods and wool to the Song State.

"This is the initial stage, if the effect of Rongcheng is good, both sides are satisfied, the next step, the two sides can promote the horse and iron market!" Zhou Quan said again.

The people in the felt tent were stirred again, and this was already how many spirits they had gathered today.

Horses and iron are both military supplies, if they can be traded with each other, doesn't it mean that the Song and Liao are really very trusted?

Zhou Quan, who was still making threats and even did not hesitate to provoke a war between the two countries just now, is talking about the long-term vision of good-neighborliness and friendship between the two countries, which always makes people feel ...... Something seems wrong.

"In addition, we can also implement a patent system for some goods...... For example, Snow Sugar, the Great Song Dynasty can give Liao a patent quota of 300,000 catties of snow sugar every year, and Liao only needs to sell this patent quota to wealthy merchants, for example, if you collect 500 patents per catty, you can get 150,000 yuan! ”

This is very similar to the liquor monopoly system of the Great Song Dynasty, which is actually not conducive to the development and expansion of trade, but in the early stage, it can greatly increase the power to support the city and reduce the pressure on the city.

Judging from Yelu Yanxi, these 150,000 guan were picked up by him for nothing. And judging from the Khitan nobles present, this means that they have a chance to reach out. As for those Han southern officials, although they smell that there seems to be some kind of conspiracy in this, but who will pay attention to the opinions of the traitors?

Zhou Quan threw out one benefit after another, in fact, many of them were things that Song and Liao had already come to fruition, but before, these trades were completed through illegal means such as smuggling, but now, Zhou Quan has included them in the legal framework, so that these trades can be recognized and protected by the two major powers, and at the same time, they will also bring millions of benefits to the two powers!

Snow sugar alone, the amount of 300,000 catties, according to the price that Liang Shicheng's black-hearted traitor was prepared to give to Liao, is 600,000 yuan. Such a huge profit is enough for a high-ranking official of the Liao State like Xiao Fengxian, who has no good impression of Zhou Quan, and now he is thinking about how to take more ways out of his mouth.

For a while, there was silence in the felt tent, only Zhou Quan was talking.

Speaking with dry lips, judging from the expressions of the surrounding Liao nobles, their interest in the opening of the city has been completely raised, Zhou Quan felt that the heat was almost over, so he said: "This is what I said, the relationship between the great powers, strength and interests, similar strength is the foundation of peace between the two countries, and long-term interests are the guarantee of friendship between the two countries." Now, who else has an issue with what I'm saying? ”

The surrounding Khitan people were quiet and silent, Zheng Yunzhong covered his face with his hands, feeling excited and embarrassed, after all, in this way, the interests of a copper plate and a copper plate were brought to the official diplomatic occasions of the two countries, Zhou Quan is probably the first person in the history of the Great Song Dynasty.

Just when Zhou Quan thought that the big thing had been decided, he suddenly heard a weak voice sound: "I have an opinion......

Everyone's eyes moved away, angry, hostile, indifferent, in short, none of them were kind.

Blocking people's financial paths, such as killing their parents, this point is a general truth whether it is in the Song State or the Liao State.

The person who spoke was frightened by the gaze.

Xia envoy Li Fuli!

First Zhou Quan debated with the nobles of the Liao State, and then Zhou Quan talked about his special economic zone plan, and everyone completely forgot about the envoy of the Xia State.

According to the formal etiquette, the envoys of the Xia State and the Song State would not have appeared here at the same time, but today he came to bribe Xiao Fengxian and prepare to make trouble with the Song State.

But now, the trouble failed, but he saw that the young envoy of the Song State threw out a plan to destroy the city.

If it is really done, the relationship between Song and Liao is close, and for the Xia Kingdom, this is a catastrophe!

The country has been a soldier for decades, and now is the time to serve the country!

Therefore, even though he knew that it didn't have much effect, Li Fuli still said the words "I have an opinion".

After finishing speaking, in the face of the dissatisfied eyes of the upper echelons of the entire Liao State, he panicked again, and Fang Cai's courage suddenly disappeared, and he said weakly: "My Xia State is also willing to run a city with the Liao State......

"What are the products of Xia Kingdom?" Zhou Quan sneered.

Then Li Fuli wanted to cry, if you don't bully people like this, everyone knows that the Song Kingdom is rich in products, but the Xia State has it, and the Liao State has most of it, even better than the Xia State!

"I'm Xia Guo...... There was ......"

"Okay, let's talk about it when you think about what things are in Xia Kingdom, maybe in the future, your Xia Kingdom can buy our Central Plains products from Da Liao." Zhou Quan said casually.

These words made the eyes of the Liao people light up again.

The relationship between Song and Xia was tense, so it was not easy for Xia to buy the goods needed from Song on a large scale, so they could only smuggle. But where can smuggling meet the demand, when the time comes, maybe the Liao State can really be a dealer and resell the goods of the Song State to the Xia State.

Of course, it is resold at a high price, and the friendship between countries is not determined by interests!

After pressing Li Fufu down again, Zhou Quan looked at Yelu Yanxi, who was contemplating, and he said loudly: "The matter of Yucheng was proposed by the foreign minister to my Great Song Emperor, although the Son of Heaven wanted to promise, but the foreign court had objections. If you want to accomplish this, you must first ask the Liao State to agree. ”

When he said this, the Liao people calmed down, and the Song people would definitely have to repay it for giving such a big benefit.

Everyone's minds were in a hurry, trying to guess what the Song people had invited.

Even Zheng Yunzhong and Tong Guan also began to ponder at this moment.

Both of them knew about the matter of Yucheng, and they had been instructed by Zhao Ji to do their best to facilitate this matter. However, Zhou Quan's request at this time was not known to them.

Seeing that Zhou Quan finally showed a serious appearance, a thought suddenly flashed in Tong Guan's heart: "The conditions proposed by this guy ...... Could it be that? ”

"If the Son of Heaven of the Southern Song Dynasty has any request, you just have to say." Xiao Feng said first.

replaced Zheng Yunzhong, he would definitely have to fight for this rude statement, but Zhou Quan was more pragmatic and profitable, so he put down the cheapness on his tongue for the time being, and said in a deep voice: "Waste New Year's coins!" ”

As soon as the three words "waste coins" came out, Zheng Yunzhong and Tong Guan suddenly brightened up in front of them!

They now suddenly realized that the key to Zhou Quan's persuasion of Zhao Ji, He Zhizhong and Zhang Kegong in the imperial history was this!

Since Zhenzong reached an alliance with the Liao people, this year's coin is a piece of heart disease for the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty. Although the amount is not much, and through the trade of the field, the New Year's coins are basically earned, but it is difficult to say after all.

Moreover, the Liao State set this precedent, and since then, even the Xia Kingdom has dared to ask the Great Song Dynasty for New Year's coins!

Therefore, it can remove the disadvantages of the New Year's coin, which is enough to make the names of the monarchs and ministers of a dynasty leave their names in the world. Like He Zhizhong, even if Chen Chaolao and other Qingliu scolded him for being incompetent before, if he took office and did not trigger the Song-Liao War, then the name of a virtuous minister is indispensable!

In addition, Yucheng can also bring huge tax revenues to the Great Song Dynasty, bring considerable profits to the powerful and wealthy families, and let the stagnant materials in the hands of the people flow, why not!
