At this time, Kublai Khan actually made another calculation to release the signal that released Wen Tianxiang.

The reason is that he is bound to win Japan.

On the surface, attacking Japan and releasing Wen Tianxiang seem to have no connection, and they are two completely irrelevant things.

But only Kublai Khan himself knew that these two things were very related.

To put it simply, Kublai Khan is short of money.

Using troops in the Central Plains and small surrounding countries is completely different from the Mongol Empire period.

During the era of Genghis Khan and Mongge Khan, the whole Mongolian people were soldiers, and at the command of the Khan, all troops joined forces.

Just bring your weapons and war horses, grab them wherever you go, and replenish supplies on the spot, and come and go like the wind.

The cost of war is very low, and even as long as there is a war, you will not lose money.

However, the situation after entering the Central Plains has completely changed.

Frequent siege battles and long tug-of-wars made it impossible for the Mongolian Gods to replenish their supplies by winning the battle as they did in West Asia and the grasslands.

Not to mention anything else, Xiangfan fought three times, and the last time it took six years. Chongqing has been raising more than 30 years.

This forced Kublai Khan to change his policies, learn from the Chinese people, cultivate land and accumulate grain, pay attention to finance, and prepare for war.

A profitable transaction has begun to turn into a loss-making transaction, and at least before conquering a certain place, there will be no reward.

This is like a bottomless pit. Even Kublai Khan is both civil and military, he cannot even do finance and taxation by himself.

Therefore, he valued sexual people like Ahema and Sang Ge who were good at managing finances.

But the money is not enough.

Kublai Khan really didn't expect that attacking a small island of Japan would be more financially consuming than attacking the Southern Dynasty.

The food route was far away, and the cost of this caused him a headache.

Moreover, in order to defeat Japan in one fell swoop and to pursue the remnants of Song in the future, he must build a huge naval army.

This thing is even more expensive and the Yuan Dynasty could hardly afford it.

Under such a background, how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure and increase taxes as soon as possible is a top priority.

At present, Dayuan's main fiscal revenue still comes from the north.

Inherited from the Jin Dynasty, Gansu, Henan, Hebei, Yanzhao, Dongshan and other places, after decades of deep cultivation and extensive cultivation, they have been fully controlled.

However, due to the need to prevent the Ogedei Khanate and the Golden Horde, great investment was made.

In addition, the new occupation in the south is constantly rebeling the people, making it difficult to resume production and also requires support from the north.

Nowadays, the fiscal and taxation barely maintain the status quo, but fighting across the sea has completely overdrawn the national strength of the north.

Kublai Khan naturally knew that this would not work. He must pacify the people in the south as soon as possible and become another treasury of the Dayuan.

In fact, Kublai Khan had already made many efforts for some, including sending the minister Ahma to the south to govern himself, and also having extremely relaxed civil affairs. Including the Central Commission for Disclosure, which means that he would spare no expense to exchange the Eighteen Realms of the Old Song Dynasty.

You should know that with the gradual demise of Zhao Song, the Eighteen Realms Huizi issued by the Song Dynasty was no different from waste paper!!! Hundreds of Guanchao could not exceed Yiguan. At the worst, the Hundreds of Guanchao was only worth Yiguan. The Zhongtong Chao was supported by the quasi-flat treasury silver from various places, and the value was stable.

The exchange rate of the official Sanguan Zhongtong Banknote and Yiguan Coins has always been strong!

However, in order to win the support of the people in the south, Kublai Khan ordered the three-guanhui money in the south to exchange for the Yiguanzhongtong. The Huizi in the hands of the people would not be worthless, nor would it lose all its money.

It can be said to be a good work.

But it's useless!! Even if Kublai Khan treats the Southern people so kindly, he still rebelled everywhere, as if he is extremely sincere to Zhao Song...

Because of this, Kublai Khan's hair turned gray. He could only sacrifice Wen Tianxiang, who had a transcendent status in the south...

Letting him go can show Kublai Khan's kindness and appease the public's opinion.

Kill him can also be powerful and shocking the slut.

The question now is, which one is more beneficial to Kublai Khan?

The court talked about this matter and everyone agreed to it. It made Kublai Khan hesitate...

There is no way, just wait for Ahma to return to Beijing and listen to his opinions.

On this day, Kublai Khan was reviewing the report in the Daning Palace. The person who was on the top of the book was Zhang Hongfan, who was in charge of the military affairs of the Japanese attack in Goryeo.

In addition to reporting the progress of the three military affairs wars, the other thing above was... asking for money! asking for food! asking for people!

Kublai Khan was frowning! He remembered Wen Tianxiang's incident again.

As if he had thought about it, he told Adan to come in and see him, "Go to tell Ye Li, Wang Jiweng, Liu Mengyan, Zhao and Rui to meet him..."

When Adan heard this, he kept saying no, but turned around and thought... he said something more: "Does the Duke of Pingyuan County also want to spread it?"

Kublai Khan's brows tightened, and the Duke of Pingyuan County was Zhao Yurui. "Why... can't he come?"

Adan smiled bitterly, "I can come here, but I just need to waste some time... The Duke of Pingyuan County was asked by the Marquis of Ningguo to go out of the city and go out for a summer tour early in the morning."

"Hmm?" Kublai Khan was stunned, thinking that something was strange. You know, Zhao and Rui were the father of Zhao Mengxi, the Marquis of Enyang. Why did they make an appointment to go together just after the fight?

Adam saw Kublai Khan's doubts, "This matter is also interesting. Early in the morning, the Marquis of Ningguo visited Zhao Yurui. Zhao Yurui saw Zhao Wei and wanted to reconcile his relationship with Zhao Mengxi, so he made an appointment with the Marquis of Ningguo to travel together, and the two went out together."

"Oh..." Kublai Khan was puzzled after hearing this, but he was still puzzled, "What did Zhao Wei go to Zhao and Rui to visit?"

"Hey!! Your Majesty doesn't know. Your Majesty asked me to pass on the message to him and made him honest, but the boy just thought it was a wind in his ears. After a day of calm, he ran out to come to the house to get along with him the next day. As long as he was an old relative named Zhao in the capital, he would go around!!"

"It's still too late to go there!"

"Haha..." Adan was adding fuel to the fire, but Kublai Khan smiled and said, "It seems that this kid is useless..."

When Adam heard this, what was going on? Why did he praise him?

He said anxiously: "Your Majesty, don't praise those who are ill-gotten, and you can talk bad things about our court everywhere. I think he is planning to be ill, so he should be on guard."

"Oh? What did he say?"

Adan thought for a while, "People asked him to stay well in the south, why did he come with Dadu?"

"As a result, the boy actually said that the south could not survive anymore, so he could only come to Dadu to enjoy his life?"

"!!!" This sentence hit Kublai Khan's fatal hole and his expression tightened! "What can't survive? Tell me more!!"

A Di was startled and did not dare to neglect it. He repeated the news from his eyeliner to Kublai Khan in a slight manner.

After hearing this, Kublai Khan fell into deep thought and was tranced for a long time.

He murmured to himself, "Is it really what he said?"

Those who are the king know all about heaven, while those who are the king can be blind and cannot see anything. From the description of a man who is in the inli of the south, regardless of whether it is true or false...

Kublai Khan thought of another thing!!

Subconsciously, I searched for a stack of reports on the imperial case...

After a while, he took a memorial that had been left unattended by him...

That was a secret report handed over by Shi Tianze's son when Shi Quan returned to Beijing.

Among them, the Huguang King Ali Hague was reported to have privately detained official slaves, and the number of good men was already occupied, which was shocking.

At first, Kublai Khan didn't care much. Ali Hague was his beloved general and made a lot of contributions in the military affairs of the South. He kept a few slaves privately, which was nothing in Kublai Khan's opinion!

You know, these veterans who followed him had been snatched in the early years, and when they arrived in the south, they would definitely not get used to it.

Kublai Khan turned a blind eye and then passed by. It was a flaw that did not hide the merits.

Therefore, Kublai Khan kept suppressing Shi Quan's secret report and had no intention of dealing with it.

However... Zhao Wei's words forced him to pay attention to them.

It seems that the private slaves hidden in Ali Hague are not a little bit...
