For Zhao Ji. peace and development of the member states of the Chinese Empire. In order to make the rapid development of Chinese civilization. Peace and development are not just the main themes of the twenty-first century. The same is true in the present eleventh century. It is obviously unwise to continue to dwell on the territorial disputes that have existed since the Tang Dynasty. It would also be unwise to continue to expand ethnic hatred.

For example. Later generations of European countries. Five hundred years of fighting. Countless wars have taken place. Including the First and Second World Wars. But. What did it bring to the countries of Europe. It's just the collapse of the colonial system. It's just the weakening of Europe as a whole.

Another example: The countries of East Asia in later generations. Because of the Western countries, led by the United States. Inculcate democratic ideology. Instilling universal values. led to the de-sinicization of the countries of the Confucian civilization circle. Territorial and ethnic contradictions left over from history have been intensified. What did the result bring. All that was brought was the plundering of capital by Western countries. More and faster chapters are here.

In ancient times. China has not annexed Japan, North Korea, South Korea, or other Southeast Asian countries. Could such a thing happen in the twenty-first century? Apparently impossible. And China continues to struggle with the historical War of Resistance Against Japan. It is also very unnecessary to promote ethnic hatred through anti-Japanese dramas. If countries can join forces. Achieve economic integration. Then it will play a more important role in the world.

If possible. With the development of society. Maybe Confucian civilization. It will also be like the historical civilization of Western Europe. Discover an "America" that transforms Confucian civilization. The rapid rise of civilization in Western Europe. Not because of the war between the countries of Western Europe. Rather, it is because Western European civilization extends into the unknown.

In the Age of Discovery. The known world is Eurasia. The unknown worlds are the Americas, Australia, Africa. At that time. Who would have thought. There is also an America on Earth. Equally. For the countries of Confucian civilization. With a clear conscience. Distorting the facts. It's really not necessary to fight for a little bit of resources. Those resources bring benefits. Is it worth discovering another "America".

Naturally, Zhao Ji had to learn the lessons of history that would be known to future generations. Zhao Ji graduated from the Department of History in later generations. Know how to learn from history.

In the current Chinese Empire, various ethnic minorities were called barbarians by the Song people. It's not like what later pseudo-histories depicted. It is a group of completely uncivilized flood beasts. What Zhao Ji saw when he came to the Song Dynasty. It's extravagant corruption. It is the song of the warbler and the dance of the swallow. It's not just the Great Song. The same is true for other countries. It is precisely in history that Song Shenzong coveted cultural and martial arts. It led to constant wars with Western Xia and Jiaozhi.

Zhao Ji is not against war. But if the war is not waged for the sake of socio-economic development. Then there is no point in war. This is also why Zhao Ji didn't go to fight Liao. Instead, he went to fight the Chola country. Go and fight the Kingdom of the Heavenly Sun. The reason for the intention to annex the countries of the South Seas.

In terms of military technology, the combat power of the army. Wars with the Liao State and Western Xia. It will only be a protracted war. It will only cause the population to wither. It will only consume the wealth of society.

That's on point. Sima Guang's opinion is the same as Zhao Ji's. Sima Guang defeated the Xiongnu again and again with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. caused the Han Dynasty to halve the historical allusion to warn Zhao Xu, the emperor who suddenly became brave.

Although Zhao Ji knows. The Han Dynasty household registration was halved. He waged wars with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty again and again. It didn't matter if the Huns were completely defeated. But. Zhao Ji still recognized Sima Guang's advice. and assured Sima Guang that he would not use troops against Western Xia and Northern Liao. More and faster chapters are here. Zhao Ji's assurance. To a certain extent, he gained Sima Guang's loyalty.

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi did not approve of Zhao's plan to help countries develop and promote the development of industry and commerce in the Song Dynasty. Because in an agrarian society. Land is national power. Population is national strength. Zhao Ji's plan. It can certainly promote the development of industry and commerce in the Song Dynasty. Let Nanjing, the economic center, develop rapidly. But. It will also lead to a significant increase in the area of cultivated land and household registration in various countries. Sima Guang and Wang Anshi were worried. Once the cultivated land and population of Northern Liao increased. Then you will be able to raise a huge army. That threat to the Song Dynasty was too great.

Zhao Ji did not agree with Sima Guang and Wang Anshi's views at all. Could it be that their population growth and arable land area can grow faster than that of the Great Song Dynasty? Compete for national strength through war. It's better to compare and see which country is developing faster.

Come to think of it. The first update Zhao Ji said to Yelu Hongji without reservation: "It's not just Liao. The same could be done for other countries. All countries are now using jiaozi instead of gold, silver and copper coins. It is better to make a law. It completely adopts the Jiaozi of the Great Song Dynasty. In this way, the countries can also be the same as the Great Song Dynasty. Trade flourished. ”

"It's not impossible to completely adopt the Jiaozi of the Great Song Dynasty. Originally, most of the copper coins were also used in the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that the treasury of Daliao is full. Unlike the Great Song Dynasty, the treasury was empty. There is no need to borrow money from the counter. Yelu Hongji said.

There were no redundant officials in the Liao State. There is no redundancy. The Liao State adopted a system of integration of soldiers and peasants. Soldiers are not paid. Encounter a conquest. It also relied on grass and grain to provide most of the military rations. There is very little demand on the treasury.

"Huh. If the Great Song Dynasty can be allowed to set up business alliance cabinets in various countries. If the treasury of each country is full, it can deposit money in the treasury. Take the money. This is much larger than the number of coins. It even exceeds the national taxes of various countries. Clans and nobles of various countries. There's a lot of wealth, too. Deposit in the cabinet. Profit money even exceeds taxes. Zhao Ji responded.

The national coffers are indeed full. Especially like the countries of the South Seas. It is possible that hundreds of years of tax revenues have been piled up in the treasury. They have a big income. Spend less. It is completely different from the Great Song Dynasty, which had to pay for military salaries and other expenses. The Great Song Dynasty did not have military service. There is no servitude. They all have to rely on the treasury money to recruit separately. Such a way of raising troops. Later generations of China did not dare to use it. The cost is too much.

"Let the Great Song Dynasty set up a business alliance counter. Then all countries adopt Jiaozi. Isn't it that all the money has flowed into the Great Song Dynasty? Emperor Xining is scheming. Yelu Hongji sneered.

"Nope. The first time to update, countries can borrow from the business alliance counter. The amount of the loan can even exceed the amount of the treasury. And the loan only needs to take the national tax to pay the money to the merchant alliance. Imagine that number. Indebtedness can increase the wealth controlled by the national treasury tenfold. With this money. Are there any problems that can't be solved? Zhao Ji responded.

Yelu Hongji nodded. I thought to myself: "With this money." Plus force. Hard and soft. Pacify the tribes. Dismantling the power of the Khitan aristocracy is not a problem. With this money. 100,000 leather room troops in hand. There is no need to rely on the military state under the head to provide for it. ”

Come to think of it. Yelu Hongji laughed and said, "There is money and power. There's really nothing that can't be solved. But. Wasteland. It's not like you can have money. If you have money, you can. It's been done a long time ago. Yelu Hongji was a little helpless.

To know. All countries are focusing on the development of agriculture. Clearing land means increasing the number of acres of land. Tax increases. Population increases. All of them have increased. Then you can be strong.

All countries came to participate in the Alliance. It is also hoped that more talents and technologies will be obtained from the now open Dasong. Especially farming techniques. They saw the Great Song Dynasty developing Huguang. Thinking of his own country, the country is vast and sparsely populated. It's itchy in my heart.

"That's it. As long as all countries can allow the Great Song Dynasty Business Alliance to set up business alliance cabinets in various countries. and provide protection. Then I don't have to speak. Naturally, the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty would flood into various countries. Wasteland. There will be no problems with mining the mines. Zhao said excitedly.

Zhao Ji had to get excited. The cultural influence of the Great Song Dynasty is too strong.

See all without speaking. Zhao Ji continued: "Emperor Shirakawa. Tell us about Japan's development. ”

Called Zhao Ji to call him. Emperor Shirakawa stood up and said, "After signing an agreement with the Great Song Dynasty. A large number of Song merchants poured into Japan. Recruit Japanese people to open up mines and open up wasteland. Japan is booming right now. It is estimated that it will allow Japan in ten years. Japan's population will triple in size. Arable land has increased at least threefold. ”

After listening to Emperor Shirakawa's brief statement. The monarchs gasped. Especially Goryeo. Japan's mind to annex Goryeo. It started in the Tang Dynasty. It's just that Japan gave the Great Song Dynasty a gift of 100 million yuan. The current treasury is entirely in debt. They can't afford it. Of course, there is no such courage as Japan.

"Xining. This 100 million. I can't take it out. Let's learn from Japan. You're too dark-hearted, aren't you? Yelu Hongji said without scruples.

"Haha. Be the first to update the Great Kanti. Ask Emperor Shirakawa. This 100 million. Isn't it back to Japan? Song Shang brought it to Japan. It's more than 100 million. Of course. Merchants are not profitable. There are so many wastelands in various countries. Ten years for Song Shang to develop. Make enough money. Countries are not at a loss. After all, the land is still the responsibility of each country. Ten years later, it can be recovered. At that time, it was only the land that was added. And the population. Zhao Ji laughed.

"Allow the Great Song Dynasty Business Alliance to set up a business alliance counter. This one can be promised. It's just a gift list of hundreds of millions of dollars. It's never. Great Liao is not like Japan, which has been established for thousands of years. Where did the 100 million come from? There is so much money. I still need to ask you for a little bit of the old coin. Yelu Hongji said with a glare.

"No gift list required. You know that, too. The Great Song Dynasty was short of food. Lack of copper and iron. Each only needs to agree not to restrict the flow of grain and copper and iron into the Great Song Dynasty. Grand Kanti. The various departments of the grassland are the scourge of the Liao country. Why. There is no fixed place to live. If you can bring them together. Don't let them graze. Instead, let them go to the mines. Is there still such a question? Zhao Ji responded.

Yeluhongki was lost in thought. I also agree with what Zhao Ji said. If we can bring together all the departments of the grassland. Household registration is included. Then Daliao has more than nine million people. At least two million more. And. Not afraid of their rebellion yet.

Come to think of it. Yelu Hongji nodded and said, "If Xining has any conditions, just mention it." I just want the cultivated land of Daliao to increase. Population increases. ”

This is just a superficial statement. Actually, Yelu Hongji thought in his heart. It was only through the power of this alliance that he would strike at anyone in the country who threatened his throne. Consolidate the throne. It's best to be the same as the Great Song. Completely restrain the power of the clan nobles. Absolute imperial power is guaranteed.

"It's the same in all countries. What I want is for all countries to allow free trade. Whether it is horses, ploughing cattle, grain, copper and iron. As long as these pass. My Da Song also treats everyone equally. The trade agreement with Japan can also be extended to other countries. I, the Great Song Dynasty, can send 10,000 students from Jishi University to various countries. Helping countries to open up wasteland. Countries can also send officials and scholars to the Great Song Dynasty. Entered four universities for further training. Zhao Ji promised.

········

Subsequently. Another five days passed. After the monarchs of each country negotiated and established the framework of the covenant. The courtiers of various countries began to discuss the details. The main thing is: after the land is cleared. The life of the Song merchants' use of the land. Simultaneous construction of water conservancy facilities. Ordering of necessities such as farm tools needed for land reclamation. Weapons and armor for sale.

On weapons. Zhao Ji is not like in the novel. Fear of others knowing. Fear of being taken away by other countries. Naturally, weapons play an enormous role in warfare. But the most important thing is the use of weapons. For example, rocket artillery vehicles. Thunderbolts and other weapons. There is no certain knowledge. It is impossible to use without a certain amount of training. Zhao Ji is a special forces soldier. Know this.

Moreover. The weapons of the Great Song Dynasty were updated quickly. The more you build, the better. Of course. The best ones won't sell
