Kaifeng Prefecture and Youzhou Army Shangdu are left in Housi.

The Great Jin Kingdom of Northeast China raised an army to fight against Liao and sent envoys to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty, but still reported the news through the Youzhou army to the court. Therefore, in Kaifeng Prefecture City, the first person I learned was Yang Jian, the envoy of the Youzhou army, the emperor.

The shopkeeper Mu Gongyang, who had just sold a piece of white land at Christie's, became the second Kaifeng mansion to learn about this when he returned to the Liuhousi Office located in the Lihua Villa Courtyard.

"Fortunately, I took action ruthlessly today, otherwise I would have missed the opportunity!" After Mu Yi arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture, he used his name as Mu Gongyang, and his nickname was the land king Mu, because he always decisively took action in the official sings and selling in Kaifeng Prefecture and bought at a high price!

In just a few months, he earned 11 pieces of land for Wanjia Real Estate, with a total value of more than 10 million yuan.

Wanjiaxing is not a small business, it is the originator of Kaifeng Prefecture's real estate business! And behind it are King Yan, the governor of Youzhou, and the great capital of Andong, the protector of Wu Haogu.

The demonstration role played by Wu Haogu in buying Kaifeng Prefecture's land in large quantities cannot be overstated. Therefore, the real estate market in Kaifeng Prefecture turned from rising in a few months after the money was triggered, and opened high and ended high. Mu Gongyang's "high-priced land" quickly became "floor price".

Moreover, when his business saw that Wanjiaxing had huge profits in real estate transactions, he was also furious and joined the real estate prosperity one after another. The land prices naturally rose, and the money used to buy land and houses became popular.

The price of money exchanged for copper coins has also risen step by step. JD.com's buying price has reached 750 yuan for a scattered money exchange, and the discount is only 20 yuan. The selling price has even been premium, reaching 800 yuan for a scattered money exchange.

Needless to say, JD Bank, the first to invest money to attract transactions, and Jinbao Bank (secretly controlled by Tianjin Bank), which followed JD Bank, also made a fortune. Under the wealth effect of these two banks, the gold and silver exchange silk shops in Jieshen Lane and the Changshengku of major temples in Kaifeng Prefecture no longer hesitated, and they all invested in big deals of money to attract and real estate mortgages.

Cai Jing’s money-inducing reform seems to have been a great success!

However, there is also a huge hidden worry in success. Kaifeng Prefecture is under the terrifying Liao army's military front!

Wasn’t the last time the real estate price plummeted because of the Liao army approaching the Yellow River?

And this hidden worry finally disappeared with the memorial of Youzhou Town.

"Now, Xianggong Cai is so proud!" Yang Jian smiled bitterly, "The printed paper has also become money, and the Song Dynasty is really solid."

The Song Dynasty was as solid as a sacred state, and Yang Jian’s founding heroes were no longer appropriate... If the Republican government in Youzhou failed, it would be hard to say whether his head could be kept.

Mu Gongyang smiled and said, "Then let Mr. Cai be proud for a while. He used money to imprint a peaceful and prosperous era, which was nothing bad for our Youzhou. The wallet in Youzhou is Tianjin, and the industry and commerce in Tianjin are all pointing to the Song Dynasty as the client to make money. If the market in the Song Dynasty can get better, just the Beimu, Beigrain, Beiyao, Beijiao, Beitie, Beiyan, Beiyan, Beiyan, Beiyan, Beiyan, and Beijiu, etc. will be enough for us to eat."

It is not unreasonable for him to say this. Because Cai Jing's money-inducing reform is not only a matter of issuing money to speculate on land, but also established a "national unified market" and canceled the franchise rights of various local franchises.

The management rights of all the specialty products mainly for "salt, iron, tea, wine" were received by the court. Moreover, the management methods were different from before. There were no longer any graded specialty products, and they only controlled them at the source, namely Yanjing Yantian, Tieshan Metallurgical Institute, Tea Mountain Tea Field and local wine business. The control method was also very simple, that is, money could only be used to exchange for products.

In this way, the local transshipment department will not care about the sale of "salt, iron, tea, wine" or the source of the "salt, iron, tea, wine" on its own territory. Even if it is smuggled from Yandi, what's the point?

Therefore, the high-quality and low-priced ironware, sea salt and fine wine from Yandi were easily smuggled into the market of the Song Dynasty. Of course, in addition to smuggling, the Song Dynasty court also gave the ironware of Youzhou, sea salt and fine wine to enter the jurisdiction of the court through the Hailu Maritime Control Department, the condition was to use money to attract payment.

In addition, the essence of money is to issue more money. With more money, the market interest rate will naturally fall. Especially because the real estate market in Kaifeng Prefecture is booming, it has gained a status of about equal to copper coins for a time. Therefore, the low interest rate of money also lowers the interest rate of copper coins. Now the annual interest rate of land mortgage loans by JD Bank is only five cents, and the annual interest rate of copper coins lent by Tianjin and JD Bank is only eight cents when the mortgage is sufficient.

This is very beneficial to the industry, commerce and finance industry in Tianjin! The original loan interest rate of 20% is impossible to support the development of industry and commerce.

Therefore, to be fair, this round of monetary reform carried out by Cai Jing is also very beneficial to Youzhou, Jingdong, Shanghai, Mingzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou.

Mu Gongyang smiled and handed back the memorial from the Youzhou Army to Yang Jian, and then said with a smile: "Official Yang, you should go to the palace to see the carriage, right? The official family is so happy this time!"

Yang Jian shook his head, "Not necessarily! The official family may not be very happy... Now everyone in the world regards the Khitan as an enemy, but the official family and the court officials regard the Khitan as the pillar of balance the world. When they hear the chaos in the Liao Kingdom, they are afraid they will be sad and cry."

"Is that true? That Aguda's surrender..."

"Maybe they will refuse." Yang Jian said, "Didn't you send a mission last time? In the end, you went back to Kaifeng Prefecture on the excuse that the road was blocked. Now the court is taking money to redeem people from the Liao Kingdom, and has paid more than one million yuan one after another... It's really a matter of no distinction between the enemy and the enemy!"

Yang Jian was only half right. After Zhao Ji received the memorial he handed over, he breathed a sigh of relief. He had been completely relieved.

Chongzheng Hall. Seeing the right ministers standing in their respective positions and sitting firmly, Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Youzhou has just submitted a memorial, and the birth of the Liao Kingdom's Jurchens finally started! He raised troops on the banks of the Huntong River, captured Ningjiangzhou, surrounded Huanglong Mansion, and destroyed more than 10,000 Khitan elite soldiers. I have no worries!"

"Your Majesty," Su Chi, the right chief of the Shangshu, submitted a memorial at this time, "Did you ask for a title for Wanyan Agu in the memorial?"

When Zhao Ji heard this, his smile disappeared without a trace. "It is indeed mentioned... and the Jurchens sent a mission to bring a submission to the King of Jin. The ministers think that how should the court deal with it?"

"Your Majesty," replied the proud left prime minister Cai Jing, who came out of duty, "the old minister thought that the Jurchen envoy should be rejected from entering the court now.

The Jurchens and Youzhou had long been colluding with each other. It is said that Wu Haogu and Wanyan Aguda had already formed brothers of different surnames. If the court followed the meaning of Youzhou, they would have made Aguda the king and strengthened the momentum of the Jurchens, and the future would be Youzhou who would benefit from it.

In addition, the court should also tell the Liao Kingdom about Youzhou’s entrustment for Wanyan Jurchen, so that the Liao Kingdom will know the sincerity of our dynasty to maintain peace."

"Cai Qing's words are reasonable!" Zhao Ji nodded, "Then don't let the envoys of the Jurchens enter the court, and send envoys to Datong to inform the Khitan. What kind of child from the Mengwu Kingdom? Do you also ask him not to come to Kaifeng Prefecture?"

"Your Majesty should let Anbahai and Zhang Zhuo enter Beijing." Cai Jing said, "At the same time, the seized Fengmingshan should be returned to Zhang Zhuo, and then rewarded Zhang Zhuo and Anbahai with a sum of money and an official position to Anbahai."

Zhao Ji didn't understand and frowned and asked, "Why should I refuse the Jurchens to win over Mengwu?"

"Because the Mengwu Kingdom did not openly oppose Liao, nor did it formally ask for a title of king." Cai Jing said, "It can be seen that Mengwu is still weaker than the Jin of the Jurchen. Your Majesty now supports Mengwu. If the Jurchens get their ambitions in the future, they can still use Mengwu to restrain the Jurchens.

Hexi is also weak compared to Youzhou. Zhang Yuan in Hexi is seriously ill, and all the philosophers are competing for the chief tutor. Zhang Zhuo is also one of them. Your Majesty might as well support Zhang Zhuo. If he becomes the chief tutor in Hexi in the future, it will be beneficial to the court."

"But support Zhang Zhuo in inheriting Hexi, wouldn't he admit that the Hexi Jiedushi was hereditary?" Wu Juhou, the head of the Privy Council, reminded.

"If we don't admit it, they will not be hereditary?" Cai Jing said, "The one that poses the greatest threat to the court now is Youzhou! And the one who can restrict Youzhou is the only one who can control Youzhou is Hexi."

It’s better to play the balancing technique, suppress Youzhou and support Hexi. But at the same time, you cannot turn against Youzhou, otherwise Cai Jing’s money will soon be ruined.

Therefore, in terms of economy, the Northern Song Dynasty court was still willing to give in to Youzhou, but only caused trouble for Youzhou in politics and diplomacy.

As for military matters... it is not a question of whether he can win, but Zhao Ji doesn't want to fight at all.

How good the situation is now. The Great Liao Kingdom is in chaos. Wu Haogu and Wanyan Agu are fighting and joining forces, and Zhang Yuan and He Buli are all preparing to go to the muddy waters of the Liao Kingdom. In this way, the Song Dynasty will be safe? Cai Jing's money-induced reform has been greatly successful, and the court will not have to worry about having no money to spend, so why bother fighting and killing again?

"It's still Cai Qing's concern," Zhao Ji smiled, "According to your report, I will grant you a general, and then return that Fengmingshan to Zhang Zhuo... In addition, each of them will give Zhang Zhuo, I will pay ten thousand pieces of money, ten thousand pieces of silk, thousand taels of silver, and hundred taels of gold."

He paused and said, "I will give you a banquet to Yuqing Daode Palace again! I will discuss the wine with Zhang Zhuo as the leader of the sect, Emperor Daojun!"

The leader, Emperor Taojun, was a title that Zhao Ji came up with for himself not long ago. "The leader" refers to the leader of the Taoist moral sect, which is the national religion that Zhao Ji strongly advocates, and is intended to replace Taoism that mortals cultivate immortals and Buddhism that eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name.

Now Zhao Ji can't play Wu Haogu and Zhang Yuan in military affairs, so he plans to start from religion and use improved Taoism to fight the improved Confucianism!
