Chapter 557: The Reason for Fighting Dongying
readx;
Banks are like that, they only pay eight percent interest on deposits, and three cents on the money they lend to merchants, and with half the difference between the two, there is indeed a very considerable amount of income every year. But the better the bank www.biquge.info the more afraid it is of a run.
And if a war breaks out, especially with a country like Liao, which seems to be very powerful, and the Song Dynasty often suffers under him, a run will definitely occur. One of the important reasons why Chen Yuan's bank has developed rapidly is that he has no competitors, which means that if there is a run, he can't even find anyone who can help.
Renzong can't do it, even if Renzong is willing to help him, Chen Yuan won't agree. Because once that situation occurs, the best way is to go bankrupt yourself, but unfortunately there is no bankruptcy law in the Great Song Dynasty, and the creditors will definitely chase themselves to the ends of the earth.
Chen Yuan sighed: "Also, it is now impossible for us to blockade the economy of the Liao State as we did with the party, if the imperial court forcibly cuts off the trade with the Liao State, it will cause a great loss to the commercial credit of our Great Song Dynasty merchants, the most important thing is that Liao Xingzong has cultivated a lot of fertile land in the past two years, and he also has business dealings with Dongying, Goryeo, and Mongolia, even if we cut off trade, he can hold on." ”
Everyone's eyes looked at Chen Yuan, and they were all a little frightened in their hearts, the difference of hundreds of millions of yuan, if this was really punctured, Chen Yuan would not be able to make up for it. It's not that it doesn't pop, it seems to them that it's also a lit palm mine.
Liu Ping felt a little frustrated: "Shopkeeper, when will these hundreds of millions of yuan be made up?" Isn't it that if you can't make up for it, you're not ready to do it with Liao? ”
Chen Yuan smiled: "The battle with the Liao State is inevitable, I just said that now is not the time, because the gap in the middle is too big, which is why we have defeated Dongying and Goryeo." After defeating them, I will have a way to solve this problem, and there is nothing wrong with letting the troops go to Goryeo to practice their hands first, where the terrain and climate are similar to those of Liao. ”
Chen Sheng said: "Shimei, it's not me who said anything, your gap of hundreds of millions of yuan, I'm afraid that even if you win Goryeo and Dongying, there is no way to make up for it." ”
Chen Yuan said confidently: "This point is the shopkeeper's own trick, Liu Ping, from now on, you will train well, and also talk to Di Qing, just say that I am ready to fight, but don't tell him where to fight." ”
Liu Ping nodded.
Chen Yuan took another sip of tea: "Also, from now on, you buy silver for me, don't be in a hurry, collect it slowly, and act a little more hidden." Don't let anyone else know, especially the businessmen. ”
Chen Shizhong seemed to understand something, he knew that Chen Yuanyou was going to shear sheep. What he didn't know was who Chen Yuan's wool came from this time?
Chen Yuan picked up his wine glass: "You can also collect a little yourself, you will make money, believe me." Today is the second day of the Lunar New Year, the brothers have been busy for a year, I salute you for this glass of wine, don't say anything else, two words, thank you. ”
The three tables stood up together, drank the cup and began to drink heartily.
Business troubles can't always be solved, without this, there will be other things to worry about, doing business is like this, unless you don't do it, you have to worry about it, even if you don't worry about it, you can't eat less because of that money, not to mention that they believe that Chen Yuan must have a way to solve this problem.
Liu Ping stood up: "Shopkeeper, I toast you, and I have something to ask you, since you are ready to move to Dongying and Goryeo, can my troops fight the vanguard?" ”
Chen Yuan shook his head: "No, you have to be ready at any time, but the first to do it is Master Liu." ”
Liu Yongzheng was eating, and when he heard this, he stood up, looked stunned, and pointed to his nose: "Me? ”
Chen Yuan smiled: "It's you." Starting from the next issue of the newspaper, we should pay attention to talking more about the war between Goryeo and Dongying, and I want the people of the Great Song Dynasty to slowly develop a hatred for the Dongying people, understand? ”
Liu Yong nodded: "I understand, you scared me just now, I really thought that you were going to let me go to the commander to fight, these shoes are all put on and ready to run." ”
The crowd laughed.
Chen Yuan wanted to help the stick beat Xiao Yueben, because defeating Xiao Yueben could solve many of Chen Yuan's current problems, attract Renzong's attention, and let Renzong continue to maintain his enthusiasm.
In addition, it is possible to allow the troops to train their troops, so that the new army can have more experience in actual combat, and lay a solid foundation for the pacification of the Liao State in the future. The real iron army is not piled up with equipment, but killed from blood, soldiers who have been on the battlefield and soldiers who have not been on the battlefield are two levels, as long as they look at the battlefield, see the bloody corpse once, and feel a little life and death parting between comrades, they are qualified soldiers.
Also, this is a good opportunity to develop your own navy.
Also, Xiao Yueben now has a lot of gold and silver, and those silver mines are enough to attract Chen Yuan's attention, defeat them, and the silver is all his own. This is very important for Chen Yuan's next plan.
In addition, there was a lack of places for merchants to set up workshops, and there was not much fertile land in the original area, so it was just right to use it as their industrial base.
In addition, the war in Western Xinjiang has ended, and after three years of recuperation, another contradiction in Western Xinjiang has erupted, because many women were eaten as two-legged sheep during the war, so the population ratio is now seriously imbalanced. They are also Song people now, and Chen Yuan must solve this problem for them. Aren't the women of this book disgusted with their men who are not of good race? Then give them a better one.
Also, the geographical location there is very good, and it is easy to threaten and support the Liaodong region, Chen Yuan is ready to let Tie Anli return to Changbai Mountain, and with his support, Tie Anli can easily lay down a piece of territory. The struggle with the Liao State is a game of chess, and there is nothing wrong with letting a few more soldiers cross the river.
In addition, it would be ideal if the island chain blockaded by the United States and the United States in China could be used as a maritime cordon of the Great Song Dynasty.
And also...... Isn't that enough? In fact, even if there is no one, Chen Yuan has to knock down Xiao Yueben. There is no reason, if you have to find an excuse, just like dealing with Pang Ji, Chen Yuan does not want those who are worse than himself to live in the world.
He drank the wine glass one by one, and when he walked to Tie'an, Chen Yuan patted Tie'anli on the shoulder: "Lao Tie, you came back with me from Liaoguo and have been my followers, are you a little wronged?" ”
Tie Anli shook his head: "What did the shopkeeper say, you brought us out when we were going to die, although there are not many brothers left, but we are living very well now, I really thank you." ”
Chen Yuan smiled: "You should also prepare, and return to Changbai Mountain after a while." ”
Tie Anli was stunned: "Shopkeeper, you drove me away?" ”
Everyone's voices also stopped, Chen Yuan stretched out his hand to hug Wang Anshi next to him, and said to Tie Anli: "Yes, I am driving you away." You are no longer the Tie Anli you used to be, you have the ability to do bigger things now, why do you want to stay by my side? ”
Tie Anli didn't know what to say for a while, Chen Yuanchong smiled at everyone: "Like Jiepu, he has the ability to be a good official, and if he has the ability to enter the court in the future, he will be his official, don't stay by my side." Liu Ping, Wen Guang, Yutang, I forced you to stay with me to do business, what are you doing? ”
Yang Wenguang cocked his legs and shook his head: "Resolutely don't do it." ”
What Bai Yutang said made everyone laugh even more: "I am different from the business you do, I like that kind of business without capital." ”
Tie Anli understood what Chen Yuan meant, he is also a man, a man has ideals, at least dreams or delusions, who is willing to live for others for the rest of his life? It is Chen Yuan himself who is doing things for Renzong now, and it is also because helping Renzong is the best shortcut to realize his own ideals.
Tie Anli was a little moved, and muttered, "Shopkeeper,"
Chen Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "Don't say anything, listen to me." Choose a suitable one and bring the brothers who are willing to go back to fight with you, lay down a piece of territory, and wait until we pacify the Liao State, so you can be a general and defend one side. I will support you, but brothers are brothers, and I am a very clear person, especially with my own brothers. ”
Tie Anli nodded: "Don't worry, I know." ”
Chen Yuan stood in the middle of the three tables: "Everyone, if any of you think you have the ability, just tell me, I hope you all leave and do something to come out." I want a brother, not a servant. ”
The brothers who said this were very moved.
Chen Yuan is such a person, he knows that he doesn't have the ability to make many people willingly sell their lives, his concept is to get together if he agrees, and if he doesn't, he disperses. It is not good for them to take these people under their own hands, and it is not good for themselves.
drank twenty jars of wine in one night, thirty-two people got drunk more than twenty, Chen Yuan didn't drink it himself, but he didn't stop it, get together once a year, of course, he had to get drunk before resting.
He also wants to get drunk with these brothers, but there is still something to do tomorrow, tomorrow is the third day of the Lunar New Year, according to the journey arranged by Pang Xi for him, it is Chen Yuan who takes Zhao Yi into the palace to pay New Year's greetings to Renzong.
In the past few years, Renzong has lived a very chic life, the main reason is that Lao Pang is dead, Lao Lu is dead, Xia Zhu's attitude has changed, and Chen Shimei has been deposed, which has made the Great Song Dynasty appear a real gentleman-like court, although there are still disputes, but there is no such person who gives people a knife behind his back.
Also, after Concubine Pang Guifei was killed, the harem was also a lot cleaner. When Su Xiaoyou was named a concubine, it was Empress Cao who supported her, so there was no dispute.
Sometimes Chen Yuan felt that Empress Cao was really a very pitiful person, she was the mother of the eldest princess and Zhao Yi's adoptive mother, she thought that Su Xiaoyou was very polite to her, and Su Xiaoyou's status was low, after she promoted her to a concubine, she would be grateful to herself.
Su Xiaoyou showed that she was very grateful to her, and came to pay homage early and late as when she first entered the palace. But Chen Yuan knew that Su Xiaoyou would definitely not be a woman who was content with the identity of a concubine, she didn't move now because she couldn't move, and Queen Cao was already old, so she really didn't pose any threat to her.
Whatever the reason, Renzong's harem is also stable.
Chen Yuan and Li Wei made an appointment, and the two of them went together to pay New Year's greetings to Renzong. When they came, Renzong was painting with Concubine Su, and he was very happy to see them, and Xiao Chen Xin ran to Renzong from afar: "Grandpa Huang." ”
When Chen Xin was born, Renzong didn't have much affection because she was a girl, but as the child slowly grew up, he threw himself into Renzong's arms again and again, and the kind emperor slowly liked her.
Looking at Chen Xin's still somewhat stumbling steps, Renzong hurriedly put down the paintbrush in his hand and shouted very affectionately: "Oh, run slowly, run slowly, don't fall!" ”
The more he asked Chen Xin to slow down, the faster the kid ran, the two calves had been crossed like twists, and his body swayed, if it was an adult, he would have fallen down a long time ago, but the child didn't know what was wrong, he had this ability, so he moved his footsteps in front of Renzong and threw himself into Renzong's arms.
Renzong happily hugged her: "I'll see, well, my precious grandson has grown meat again, and the imperial grandfather can't hold it anymore." ”
Chen Xin grabbed Renzong's neck with one hand, but with the other hand, he grabbed Renzong's neatly cultivated beard: "Grandpa Huang, your beard has grown again." ”
Renzong laughed: "In the whole world, only you dare to touch my beard, hahaha." ”
At this time, Chen Yuan, Li Wei and the two princesses also came to greet them: "The sons and daughters see their father, and they see the concubines." ”
Renzong waved his hand: "Get up, don't be polite." ”
