Chai Rong suddenly heard this, and couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, but he still hesitated, this gold and silver bills were used in the Zhou State, but it would not cause much damage to the Zhou State, but in this way, the copper and iron money currently used in the Zhou State would be eliminated, which would have a great impact on the economy of the Zhou State.

But Chai Rong thought about it again, that is, he did not agree with the circulation of gold and silver bills, and the merchants of the Zhou State had already secretly used the Ming bills, although the bills were a piece of paper, but there was a guarantee endorsement from the Ming court, and its firmness was far tougher than the copper and iron coins of the Zhou State.

If this is the case, it is better to use the bills of the Ming Kingdom, which can also eliminate these inferior currencies, and invisibly also help the imperial court a lot.

After Chai Rong thought about it, he said to Wang Pu: "Aiqing thinks that this condition can be exchanged for how much aid from the Ming Kingdom?" ”

Wang Pu was stunned and said, "This ......." The minister really didn't dare to guess, but now that Zhou and Ming are in alliance, it is better for His Majesty to meet with Emperor Ming and discuss. ”

"Okay, Aiqing privately informed Jinling Mansion and asked the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom to meet with me, this does not need to be spread in advance, and it will not be too late to announce it when there are eyebrows."

"Your Ministers obey."

Soon, the Zhou State set off a "Buddha Extermination Campaign" from top to bottom.

Chai Rong ordered the world's monasteries, without the imperial court to give all the plaques abolished. It is forbidden to shave one's hair privately as a monk or nun, and anyone who intends to become a monk must obtain the consent of his grandparents, parents, uncles, and uncles, and only Tokyo, Xijing, Daimyofu, and Kyoshofu are allowed to set up ordained Buddhist altars. It is forbidden for monks to commit suicide, cut off their hands and feet, burn incense on their fingers, light lamps with naked hooks, and wear iron tongs to disrupt social customs.

Tokyo, Saikyo and the prefectures were ordered to compile a list of monks every year, and in case of death, they would return to the world. All can be logged out at any time.

In this year, 2,694 monasteries were preserved and 30,336 were abolished. There were 82,444 lay monks and 28,756 nuns.

The demolition of temples and Buddhist halls yielded more than 270,000 taels of gold, more than 4 million taels of silver, and hundreds of thousands of catties of copper and iron and other metals.

To a considerable extent, it alleviated the financial pressure of Zhou Guo's embarrassment.

At the same time, a large number of Buddhist disciples returned to the world, bringing a large number of labor and soldiers to the Zhou State.

Chai Rong appointed Wang Jing, the envoy of Fengxiang Jiedu, and the envoy of the camp on the middle road, and the supervisor of the soldiers and horses of the camp to train and the camp. He took over as a superintendent of the battle against the Liao army in Ningzhou. Zhao Kuangyin was appointed as the North Road Envoy for the time being. led 20,000 forbidden troops north to support Yinzhou.

A month later, at the end of the year, Chai Rong and Baili Wuji gathered in Xuzhou again.

looked at Chai Rong, who had already given birth to Huafa early. Baili Wuji felt a feeling in his heart, he may not have a long life, but now he is crossing by himself. Will it bring about a change in Chai Rong's fate? In this regard, Baili Wuji could not predict it.

For the annexation of the Zhou State and complete unification, this is already an irreversible trend, Baili Wuji only hopes to shed as little blood as possible, and it is best to peacefully resolve the reunification of the Ming and Zhou countries.

But now is not the time to talk about these, in the face of the large-scale blockade army and the Liao army, what the Ming and Zhou countries need at the moment is to rely on each other.

The year of war. A lot happened, and the Ming and Zhou countries paid too much price.

The two small Uighur forces involved in it, Jiaoguoluo and Ganzhou, were eliminated and forced to retreat from Tibet. It is the greatest achievement of Baili Wuji in this year, for which the Ming army also paid tens of thousands of lives.

Eliminated the above three forces, so that the coalition forces were only left with Zhubu and Liao, so that the Ming and Zhou countries could stabilize the front, and Chai Rong and Baili Wuji could meet here with a slightly relaxed mood.

Chai Rong looked at Baili Wuji in front of him, and there was a trace of admiration in his heart, Chai Rong was a person who refused to admit defeat, if he was hostile to Baili Wuji, then it was very likely to be an endless situation.

Which hero in the world is the one who is willing to admit defeat?

But now the situation is different, the Ming and Zhou countries have formed an alliance, each other's lips and teeth, to jointly fight against the northern enemy, and the Ming State has vigorously supported the Zhou State in the past year, which has made the friendship between the two countries grow day by day.

Because of this, Chai Rong measures the relationship with Baili Wuji with the affection of a righteous brother, and it is not surprising that Chai Rong has a trace of admiration in his heart for a strong person who is comparable to himself or even stronger than himself.

"Big brother, my brother toasts you a glass to thank you for taking care of my country this year."

"The second brother is polite, this is just a matter for the same Han people. Come, drink this cup together. ”

A glass of strong wine went down his throat, and the smell of wine that came up made Chai Rong's eyes sour, "Big brother, when do you think this battle will be fought?" Can you win in the end? ”

Baili Wuji looked at this man who was a few months younger than himself with pity, and he didn't feel sad in his heart, if Chai Rong was born in a prosperous era, his achievements would never be inferior to Li Shimin, but it was a pity.

"I remember that a few days ago, a soldier in my country's Ming Pao said that victory would definitely belong to Ming Guo. Today, I convey this to you. Victory will also belong to the Zhou State. ”

Baili Wuji smiled and raised his glass, "Second brother, although the Liao State is strong, but my Han people are by no means willing to be captives, even if you and I can't see this moment of victory, we have to fight this battle together." This war will not end overnight, this is a protracted war, a competition of national strength between the two sides, and victory is to see who can not support it first. After thousands of years of war, the Han people are far more patient with war than the Khitan and other nomads, so I am optimistic about the outcome of this war. Here, have another drink. ”

Chai Rong wanted to speak and stopped, and raised his glass and drank it all.

Baili Wuji's eyes swept Chai Rong's hesitant look, and took the initiative to ask: "If the second brother has something, you might as well say it directly." ”

Chai Rong is the son of Zhou Guo, the so-called hero who can't die for a penny, and this money really makes him unable to open his mouth.

Baili Wuji had already guessed what Chai Rong wanted to say, the "Buddha Extermination Movement" of the Zhou State was vigorous, and no one in the world knew about it, and tens of thousands of Buddhist disciples fled into the Ming Kingdom, which also caused a lot of trouble to the Ming Kingdom.

Although the Zhou State claimed to the outside world that it was the reason why the children of Buddhism did not produce to launch this "Buddha Eradication Campaign", in the eyes of the Ming courtiers, the real reason for this movement was naturally clear, not to mention, Xu Shiming's military intelligence institute's spying on Liao and Divination was not satisfactory, but it was very powerful for Zhou's intelligence network, which may lie in Xu Shiming's always focusing on the unification of Zhou.

Chai Rong raised his head and looked at Baili Wuji who was about to speak, Baili Wuji raised his palm and said: "Second brother, don't say more, I probably understand what you mean, in this way, Ming Guo will support another 30 million catties of grain, 10,000 mines, and 50,000 grenades, can the second brother be satisfied?"
