In 1132 AD, Hangzhou was prosperous.

After a year of recuperation, the Song Dynasty recovered rapidly, and the financial consumption caused by the war was quickly made up. At this moment, the war potential of the Song Dynasty was gradually tapped, and a powerful enduring ability broke out.

The essence of war is a competition for financial resources.

Without money, there is no way to fight at all. Without money, it was impossible to mobilize, and hundreds of thousands of people went on a northern expedition.

With the establishment of banks, the initial financial system, especially the entire financial system, was controlled by the royal family, and also controlled the economic lifeline of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and controlled the life and death of tens of thousands of merchants.

The evil capitalism began to show its hideous minions, devouring the entire Great Song Dynasty step by step, and making the Great Song Dynasty fall into the huge net of capitalism.

And some scholars haven't felt these yet, but they just feel that the rhythm of the entire Great Song Dynasty has become faster. In the past, after two years of war, it took at least three or five years of cultivation and recuperation, and the accumulation of grain, grass, financial resources, and troops, so that it was difficult to slow down.

And once the army is reckless, the war is too fierce, it will cause a crisis in the whole society; If it is unlucky, there will be one or two floods and droughts, the people will be miserable, the people will rise up, countless Chen Sheng and Wu Guang will appear, and the entire dynasty will collapse.

But today's emperor can be described as a reckless soldier, fighting wars every year, almost never stopping, the so-called big war once a year or two, small wars every month. However, without such a reckless use of military force, there was no social crisis, and the people were miserable, but on the contrary, there were many fewer people in chaos, and the economy of some areas became unprecedentedly prosperous.

Not so long ago, it was still a ruin. The village fell, but soon after, it was only a year. Even in three or five months, it became prosperous.

Everything is like a fog.

And some shrewd people soon noticed the strangeness, and that was the bank.

Banks change everything.

In the era of capitalism, the biggest change is not the emergence of foreign guns and cannons. It's not colonization at sea, it's not big ships and big sails, it's not liberal democracy. Nor parliaments, but the emergence of banks, the formation of a preliminary financial system.

The emergence of banks is superficial. It seems to be just deposits and loans. It's just an off-site exchange.

However, at a deeper level, local capital is integrated together, and local resources are effectively allocated. In the world, it is not a lack of resources, but a lack of effective allocation of resources, some places are full to death, and some are starving to death.

The famine would cause food prices to rise, which could lead to peasant uprisings. These are small, probably dozens of people. Or hundreds, tens of thousands. This kind of peasant uprising, which was easy to extinguish and could shake the foundation of the Song Dynasty, was the most destructive to production.

Disaster relief is important! It's a pity that the Song Dynasty government had poor ability to do things, serious delays, coupled with the collusion between officials and businessmen, the price of grain rose, and the partnership deceived people, causing small things to become big things. With the establishment of banks, local branches have been stationed in some states and counties to coordinate food prices and speed up disaster relief, which is much faster than the government's disaster relief.

This has undoubtedly reduced the frequency of unrest among displaced people.

With the emergence of banks, the emergence of banks is to make use of the money deposited in the people, and the money is converted into capital, and the circulation speed of capital is accelerated.

Probably, in a few decades, a few hundred years later, capitalism will be formed.

But at this moment, Zhao Pu initially enjoyed the fruitful results brought by the initial formation of the financial system.

And the biggest gain is that it is conducive to military offensives.

As the role of banks becomes more and more significant, it also causes many problems.

Corruption cannot be avoided, various institutions began to encroach on the bank, profiting from it, and the means were becoming more and more hidden. At this moment, the household department and the three divisions also began to write letters one after another, saying that they would not compete with the people for profit, and wanted to nationalize the bank under various pretexts.

It's just that the extreme distrust of the Chinese courtiers of the DPRK, Zhao Pu has been dragging on.

At the very least, the nationalization of the banks will be disastrous until the war is over, until an effective check-and-hold mechanism is in place.

The discipline of the ministers made Zhao Pu extremely distrustful.

Of course, the biggest problem is Qin Hui.

In order to restrain banks and promote healthy competition among banks, the Department of Banking Regulatory Affairs (CBRC) was established. The director is Li Gang and the deputy director is Qin Hui, mainly because they want the two of them to restrain each other.

With the development of the CBRC, Li Gang has repeatedly made mistakes in some things, resulting in Li Gang's role in the CBRC becoming less and less; However, the role of deputy director Qin Hui is getting bigger and bigger, and he has many unique features when dealing with some key issues.

Gradually, Qin Hui has a tendency to overhead Li Gang, which is not to blame Qin Hui, it has always been the capable and the incapable down.

How much power, how great is desire.

With the expansion of Qin Hui's power and the prominent status of the bank, Qin Hui began to form a gang and formed the Qin Party.

China is a humane society with close ties of interest, and it is inevitable that political parties will be formed. In terms of dealing with political parties, as long as it does not affect the rule, as long as it is within the control of the king, as long as it is not a civil and military collusion, the emperor is mostly in a tolerant attitude.

And Zhao Pu can only adopt a tolerant attitude, leaving Qin Hui, there will be problems with the Banking Regulatory Department, and there will be problems with the bank.

It is easy to remove an official, but it is difficult to choose an appropriate replacement.

It's just that with the expansion of Qin Hui's power, it is inevitable to restrain Qin Hui, and it is necessary to beat, transfer personnel, mix sand, etc...... Imperative. And letting Qin Hui participate in the negotiations of the Goryeo envoy and temporarily removing him from the post of deputy director of the Banking Regulatory Department is not a kind of beating!

…………

With the end of the negotiations, the Goryeo envoys also left in ships.

Looking at the departing ship, Zhao Pu sighed leisurely.

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking?" Wang Wuyue on the side asked.

"The same is the end of the world, why should we know each other!" Zhao Pu said, "It's just a little emotional!" ”

"Your Majesty, is that princess beautiful?" Wang Wuyue was jealous and said, "It's better to marry Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty, at that time, maybe the alliance will be more consolidated!" ”

"Ha Lu Ha!" Zhao Pu smiled, "You're jealous!" ”

"It's just that you ate the wrong vinegar, we have no relationship, and we can't have a relationship, it's just emotion! At that time, the soldiers of the Jin State were in the city, the Great Song Dynasty was not on the eve of the day, and the city of Bianliang was panicked. At that time, I was a prince and a gentleman, and I should not have been an envoy. It's a pity that there is no one in the court, they are all afraid of death, so I can only lose and go to the Jin army camp. And this princess is also extremely pitiful, a princess, originally enjoyed happiness in the palace and lived a nourishing life. It's a pity that the war between Song and Jin broke out, and it is impossible to want to be out of the world, and there is no one available in Goryeo, so I can only go to my Great Song Dynasty, explore the truth and reality, and conclude an alliance! ”

"We are all poor people!"

"The prince of the dead country and the princess of the weak country can only bear the responsibility that should not be borne!" (To be continued......)
