Chapter 26 Gifts
"What?" Zhu Huan couldn't understand Mandarin and asked.
"Border..." A flash of inspiration in Wang Ju's mind. The frontier was not good, especially in the northwest of the Song Dynasty at this time. Not only was the frontier not good, but when the Song Dynasty had just unified the world, the best area was not Bashu. Bashu's wealth had long been captured by the Song Dynasty. In addition, the rebellion and uprising, the wealth was lost like a waste.
It was not Wu and Yue. Wu and Yue raised many soldiers, and bribed the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty became a place of miserable force after getting Wu and Yue. This was true, including the Southern Tang Dynasty.
It is not Hebei, Henan and Shandong. This area has been fighting since the Anshi Rebellion and has been fighting until the Song Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty unified the world, its vitality could not be restored.
It is Guanzhong.
However, due to the Northwest War, the entire Shaanxi Province was launched, including Guanzhong.
However, life on the frontier is hard, but it is a paradise for adventurers. This is where the courageous people are truly to death and the timid people are starving to death.
After thinking for a while, Wang Ju said, "Dongweng, I don't know what your family is in there? If someone is sent to make a noise there, it is said that it is the black bee thief, which is pretended by the officers and soldiers of the Zhenwu camp of the Song Dynasty, who are now wanted by the court and are hiding in the wasteland on the Tibetan River. However, they have been killed and looted for many years and have gathered hundreds of thousands of tons of wealth. And because the court has arrested them, these wealth cannot be transferred. As long as people are sent here to find it, it is easy to find it. The court immediately sent the Huyi Camp to Lun to guard the soldiers of Zhenwu camp. The one with the word Zhenwu stabbed on the forehead must be the black bee thief. As long as one or two black bee thieves are caught, they will know where they hide their wealth. What will it be?"
"Xiaolang, do you want to provoke the Song Xia war?"
What the people along the border fear the most is war.
Especially the people of the Song Dynasty, they were in charge of how many humiliating clauses the country signed, as long as they did not fight, it would be good.
"Songxia War?" Wang Ju wanted to laugh. Xixia still had the intention to launch the Songxia War. It was just that Wuzang Epang bullied the weak Song Dynasty and made some provocations that were fierce and cowardly.
"Will there be war? The most powerful people in our border areas are not in Yanzhou, but in the two prefectures of Fulin. Wuzang Epang sent people to invade Quye River. The people of Quye River were unwilling to accept it. The people in Xixia said that your officers and soldiers did not do it, so you dare to do it? Therefore, the people were discouraged. This is a border area of idle fields, and it is not a clear Song Dynasty. Once the Xixia people and soldiers come over on a large scale, how many people will stay here? Besides, winter is coming."
Zhu Huan's eyes finally lit up.
Wang Ju's eyes also lit up and said, "Dongweng, only one of the two evils will be removed."
Zhu Huan sighed with a sigh of sarcasm.
These private salt dealers and Yu Feng and other officers and soldiers were shameless, but Cheng Kan represented the court.
"Dongweng, Cheng Gong will be difficult to solve. Yu Private, this matter is very disgraceful when his office is in office, and he will hate us. Yu Public, our dynasty economy does not seek Xixia, but Xixia seeks our dynasty. If business is interrupted, it will have little impact on our dynasty, but Xixia will be difficult to move forward. Once there is no private business, the economic and business of Xixia will be completely controlled by our dynasty. Therefore, there may be people in the court who hope that there will be more black bee thieves, so that there will be no private businessmen on the border to deal with Xixia people."
"Xiaolang, you're right, but you have to ban everyone from coming together. I have banned one, and I can't help but ban one. Who can I ban it?"
Zhu Huan obviously never thought about Li Shun's equality between the rich and the poor, and he didn't know that there was egalitarianism. But in fact, this is the truth. Like commercial tax, why are the goods of the literati and official families not taxed? Why are the goods of the powerful families not taxed?
"That's how..." Zhu Huan opened his mouth, right or wrong? This kid is thinking too much.
"You mean that the soldiers on the Great Wall Ridge are the ones who are not Zang Epang?"
"Not this. If it is troublesome, no matter how short-sighted he is, he will not let go of the business horses. Unless I silently watch him invade Quye River and start a trade with each other. I mean, under his leadership, will other people become greedy together?"
"This is a saying. The first prime minister ignores the country for his own interests, so how can he ask others to take care of the whole country?"
"Besides, I banned the market and banned business. Although there are private businessmen, I believe that Xixia will have a hard time in recent years."
"Yes, I heard that the price of cloth has increased again there."
"The reason why Li Jiqian was successful back then was because of some policy mistakes in our dynasty. It was because he had joined forces with another major tribe of Hengshan and received support from the Yeli tribe. However, under the counter-espionage plan of General Zhong, Li Yuanhao killed Yeli Yuqi. Although the Yeli tribe was large, he was getting worse and worse in recent years, like the Weimu tribe of another major tribe in Xixia. It just so happened that the Yeli tribe's base camp was located on the Great Wall Ridge."
Zhu Huan's eyes finally shone.
"Dongweng, but please remember that the country also dislikes the iron flowing to Xixia. Although our dynasty lacks horses, it is even more lacking in good horses. In addition to a small number of good horses in the Shilan area of Fu, we either bought a small number of Qingtang horses from Tubo. Although we had traded in each other before, Xixia also sold horses to our dynasty, but they were all small horses transferred from Khitan or the Tatar. Even in the private market, there were few tall Hetao horses that were easy to go to us. This is an opportunity. No matter what, once the gap is opened, you can't hold it, just like the commercial tax of our dynasty."
Zhu Huan couldn't help laughing: "Xiao Lang should study."
It’s a pity for this kid to be placed in the northwest, so he should be placed in the court.
