Chapter 191: Let go of the Korean loan
"Difficult topic, hehe" Wang Bei couldn't help but smile, "It's not a difficult problem, it's just that this problem shouldn't be solved by my Wang, and even if I come up with a solution to the problem, Emperor Liao can call the shots, and I will ask Ambassador Li if he can make the decisions." ”
After Wang Bian's words were finished, everyone seemed to have understood, that is, since Wang Bian was able to build a world-class wonder on the boulder of Shuangta Mountain, there was still any difficulty in this world or this Song Dynasty for Wang Bian, but he said the solution, whether Goryeo could implement it,
Everyone turned their eyes to the Goryeo envoy Li Enze, Li Enze frowned, as if he had made up his mind, and suddenly heard someone in the hall laughing, everyone looked for laughter, and the laughing was Yelu Renxian, the prime minister of the Southern Court of Liao,
Yelu Hongji asked, "Renxian, why are you laughing?" ”
Ye Luren suppressed his smile first, and he said to the king's side, "Wang Xianren probably underestimated this Ambassador Li. ”
"What do you say?" The king couldn't help asking,
Yeluren said unhurriedly: "Ambassador Li, as the king of Goryeo's West County, commands five of the twelve states of Goryeo, and is in charge of 50,000 soldiers and horses in Goryeo. ”
These kings really haven't heard of it, and when he came back from impeachment, he only said that Li Enze was the king of the county, so he took a closer look at Li Enze, and saw that this person seemed to have no idea and looked like a wreck, and when he thought about the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager of Liao at that time, he carried out all the plans he made, and it seemed that there was no deviation from the plan, which was enough to show that there were some things Li Enze could call the shots.
Li Enze also looked at Yelu Renxian, this Liao man actually felt his bottom so clearly, I don't know what else he knew, Yelu Renxian continued: "King Li Jun only has soldiers, he may not be able to do what he says, the key is still in your Goryeo Emperor, as far as I know, the current Goryeo King Wenzong is the full assistance of Li Junwang's father and son, when Wenzong ascended the throne, the father of the young Li Junwang was the minister of the auxiliary monarch, until now Ambassador Li is the king of the county, and he can also deal with military affairs on behalf of the monarch, I am not wrong." ”
Yelu Hongji squinted his eyes and looked at Li Enze, he couldn't imagine that this unattractive Goryeo ambassador was still a real power faction, Li Enze saw that Yelu Renxian knew everything about himself and the current situation of Goryeo, and sighed and said: "Prime Minister Renxian is indeed right, but now I, Emperor Wenzong of Goryeo, can handle major affairs alone, and the reason why I am asking for troops everywhere is just to solve the emperor's urgency loyally." ”
King Xiao Ying saw that Yeluren had asked so many questions first, and he also heard some clues, he was a straight man, seeing that Li Enze was still explaining, he snorted and said: "I don't understand this, since Ambassador Li has so many soldiers and horses, why didn't he go to Tokyo to relieve the siege, but borrowed troops from everywhere." ”
"This, this soldier is the order of the first king, guarding the Great Wall built between the south of Hamhung and the north of Yongxing, and the three passes of Dingzhou (now Dingpyeong, South Hamgyong Province, North Korea), Xuandeok, and Yuanxing, so I can't make my own decisions to ...... east" Li Enze explained a little embarrassed, but halfway through the words, he also felt wrong,
Wang Jian understood, and he said to Yelu Hongji: "Holy Lord, this Goryeo is very interesting, in order to prevent the Liao State, in the northeast of Liao and Goryeo, the Great Wall and the Three Passes are the boundary, and the border is guarded with heavy troops to defend the Liao, but the coast is beaten by the Japanese slave country and is unable to fight back, which is called the fear of wolves and tigers. ”
Everyone laughed when they heard this, even the queen Xiao Guanyin, who had been sitting upright, couldn't help but lower her head and laugh, Yelu Hongji was really amused by Gaoli's actions, he rubbed his stomach and said with a smile: "I said that you Goryeo people, but it's really good enough, if you let the Japanese slaves occupy all your Goryeo, what's the use of you staring at the Sanguan realm, doesn't that mean that you have repaired the border between the Liao State and the Japanese slave country in advance, haha, the family is gone, and you are still guarding the border." ”
Wang next to this is understood, emotional descendants always say that Goryeo sticks, in fact, it is a miscommunication, this is actually from the mouth of Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liao, is to say that Goryeo people are sticks,
Although this is a joke, but the behavior of the Goryeo people is indeed ridiculous, everyone is laughing, but Wang Bian is not laughing, he has been staring at Li Enze, and his intuition tells Wang Bian that Li Enze must have other reasons for not moving his own soldiers.
After everyone laughed, Wang asked Li Enze: "Ambassador Li, I have a question, if you can answer truthfully, I will say the solution to the problem of grain and grass." Li Enze saw the seriousness of the king's question, so he nodded,
Wang Bei pondered for a moment, then looked up at Li Enze and asked, "Ambassador Li, you tell the truth, if you don't use troops and horses, can you protect yourself?" ”
Li Enze listened to Wang Bian's question, gasped, Wang Bian's eyes stared at him, his young eyes were like electricity, his blazing eyes were sharp, and he seemed to look directly at people's hearts, he said in his heart: "Wang Shilang has a way to solve the grain and grass, just say it directly." ”
Wang Bian knows that there is no need to ask anymore, smart people are like this, there are many things that do not need to be investigated, what should be known will naturally be known, Wang Bian nodded: "Ambassador Li, what I just asked you, you know and I know, and those here can know or not, but the solution I said to solve the grain and grass, if the ambassador can do it, it will only be good for you." ”
In just a few words, the king focused everyone's attention. He saw Li Enze nodded, and Wang said slowly: "Ambassador Li, since the Liao Emperor helped you Gaoli, you can't help in vain, don't you have no grain and no money, grain, Liao can lend you grain, money, my king can lend you money, but you must have a certificate." ”
"Oh, Wang Xianren, you can tell me in detail, how can I not help in vain in the Liao Kingdom." Yelu Hongji looked at the king and asked,
Wang Bon smoothed his train of thought: "Ambassador Li, since you are talking about borrowing, if you borrow, you will repay it, and there is still a profit for private loans, not to mention between countries." ”
Li Enze didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd next to Wang, he said: "Since it is borrowing money, of course you have to give interest, but how much you borrow, how much you can borrow, how long can you borrow, Wang Shilang always has to give an accurate number." ”
There was silence in the main hall, and everyone looked at the king, as if the words spoken by the king could determine the fate of Goryeo.
"Ambassador Li is not a fool, how much to borrow, it depends on how much of the grain, grass and armament you want to fight the Japanese slave country, how much is this profit and how long to borrow, we will limit it to one year, and give you the Goryeo Kingdom one percent of the interest within one year, and in the second year, you can repay as much as you can, and if you can't repay it, you will even re-establish an IOU with interest and borrow it again."
Yelu Ren was the first to understand, he saw Yelu Hongji frowning, as if he understood or not, so he asked the king, "Wang Shilang, can you understand this, calculate my Liao country's 30,000 soldiers to Goryeo, how much grain, grass and silver taels Goryeo needs, if this time you need to send troops to convert into silver taels and need 1,000 taels of silver, then my Liao country will lend Goryeo 1,000 taels of silver, let him purchase grain and grass armaments, and a year later, he will pay back my Liao country 1,100 taels of silver." ”
Li Enze frowned and looked at the king's side: "Borrowing two taels of silver to give some interest, this is acceptable, the interest is not very high, but the interest has been rolling over for a long time, so wouldn't it be more and more owed." ”
Wang Bi shook his head: "Alas, what are you afraid of, at the end of the year, he will take the IOU and you will repay the money, and the new certificate will be exchanged for the certificate, and if you don't change it, you will not roll the Gali, what are you afraid of." ”
Xiao Ying seemed to have a profit when he heard this, he rubbed his cheeks and beard and asked, "Then what if Gao Li doesn't pay his debts." ”
The king looked at the crowd: "Goryeo borrowed two pieces of silver, there is no evidence, there must always be some collateral, I think the boundary of the three levels is good, first issue the mortgage certificate, if the loan is owed to a certain extent, let out a pass, Ambassador Li, you see how this is." ”
Li Enze is angry and funny now, how can this Song people be full of strange ideas, you say it doesn't work, it seems feasible; You say it works, it doesn't seem so practical, he looked at everyone, Yelu Hongji was squinting at himself, as if he despised Goryeo's appearance of borrowing money and couldn't afford it, Li Enze said: "It's not unreasonable to mortgage things to borrow money, but what is this borrowing voucher used for." ”
This can be asked to the point, Goryeo can draw a mortgage to borrow money first, but how much to lend and how to repay,
Wang Blinked and said: "Let's calculate with grain, you Gaoli calculate how much grain you want to use, issue a 'grain stamp', and make a voucher for every ten stones and every hundred stones of grain, let's call him a 'grain stamp', let's convert it according to six hundred Song Dynasty copper coins per stone of grain, and each stone of grain is one two pieces of silver,
The 30,000 Liao army has one million stone grain a year, it's enough, you borrow one million stone grain and grass from the Liao State, and the Great Liao gives you one million taels of silver in exchange for one million stone grain and grass food stamps, and the Liao army arrives in Goryeo, so they will exchange these food stamps for your Goryeo grain, and two months later, if the Liao army does not evacuate Goryeo after the end of the war, then they will run out of food stamps and there will be no follow-up grain and grass, so Ambassador Li does not have to worry about the Liao army not withdrawing its troops. ”
Wang turned his head to look at Yelu Hongji: "Holy Lord, if the three passes of Dingzhou, Xuande, and Yuanxing in Goryeo are worth one million taels of silver each, this thing is feasible,!"
Yelu Hongji pondered in his heart: If you go to fight at every level of the Great Wall, you may not be able to take a million taels of silver for military expenses, but this silver is exchanged for the food stamps that the king said, and they are all consumed in Goryeo, and there is no benefit.
Since he can persuade Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liao, to lend troops to Goryeo, he can persuade Yelu Hongji to release Goryeo loans, and Wang will definitely not let Yelu Hongji send troops in vain, everyone is really good, not to mention that he himself has to make a big profit, the money of Goryeo's stick, if you don't make money, you don't earn it in vain.
