Chapter 571(1/2)

"Huang Zhongzun, think about it, I don't say it, don't the people of Xixia know?" Wang Ju asked back.

"Too."

"But I can't withdraw my troops immediately and continue to garrison in Yanzhou. First, to ensure the smooth construction of Hengshan Zhubao Village, and second, to make salt."

Eunuch Huang was speechless either.

The salt in the Song Dynasty was too expensive. Think about how much it cost to open a pit at this time, and the cost of smelting iron ore to smelting pig iron.

Therefore, Wang Ju released almost all the people on Huanqing Road. Not only Huanqing Road, but even Zhao Cheng also accused the security army and the people of Yanzhou to come to transport salt. This was not transporting salt, but robbing money.

Every extra day of stay in Yanzhou means that the army has stolen 30,000 to 40,000 stones of green salt from the Xixia people, and even more, turning it into coins, tens of thousands of stagnants of money and silk, scattered into the pockets of various soldiers and people.

Therefore, if Wang Ju's army can not retreat, it is best not to retreat and continue to stay in Yanzhou.

Wang Ju said again: "If I don't say it, they may be imaginative. If I say it, they dare not imagine it."

This is too profound, and Eunuch Huang said he couldn't understand.

Huang Hua reorganized the records just now, and wrote down all the conversations between several people, including their expressions.

Wang Ju handed the sorted records to Mr. Huang and said, "Huang Zhongzhang, do you think this is the case?"

"yes."

"That's good. Take it to the capital and hand it over to the official family. He told the official family not to take it out for the time being. When the Xia envoy meets and the scholars come up with various ideas, he will give it to the scholars and officials to read it."

After thinking about it, Xiao Huang suddenly smiled and said, "Wonderful, if this is the case, no one will dare to advise and return Hengshan to Xixia."

He thought of this one, but he didn't expect that Wang Ju would really fall into the stinky cesspool.

Over there, the three messengers were also discussing.

Lu Ning said: "Yes. If they withdraw large numbers of troops and have few front-line troops, there is indeed an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Wei Ming Kerong frowned and said, "If this were the case, how could he tell us? I still remember that he asked Song Ji to send a letter to Prime Minister Liang, saying that he wanted peace between the two countries, but what was the result? Don't be fooled."

"What does he mean?"

"According to my guess, it is probably because of the civil officials in the Song Dynasty who opposed the war, and this kid could not fight. So he deliberately did this and continued to tempt our army to take action. Then it was not that he took the initiative to start the war, but that was our Daxia who took the initiative to start the war, which was exactly what he wanted."

"That's true."

"So the key is to enter the capital of the Song Dynasty to see if we can convince the emperor of the Song Dynasty and ask him to issue an edict to force the boy to withdraw his troops. Otherwise, he would continue to transport the green salt to Shaanxi in the Song Dynasty, and our economy would not be able to recover in the future."

The amount of salt consumed in the Song Dynasty was astonishing in one year.

However, the range of green salt radiation is limited, it is just Shaanxi Road, either through Yanzhou. It can be transmitted to the northern area of ​​Hedong Road, but it cannot be done in the south, and some of them may be relieved. Or some of the powerful people like the delicious taste of green salt. Some of them are scattered to the capital and the capital.

However, mining methods like the current Song army may no longer be craving for green salt in these areas in the next four or five years.

Without the economic source of green salt, the financial resources of Xixia are even more difficult to recover.

Thinking of this, Wei Ming Kerong sighed secretly, thinking, how could he fail like this? It cannot be said that Liang Yimang and Liang Yongneng were young, and there were not too many young generals in history, nor did Huo Qubing, but the ancestor of the Tuoba clan. Tuoba Gui, the founding emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty, became emperor at the age of fifteen, and Tuoba Tao, the ancestor of Wei, went on an expedition to Rouran at the age of twelve. Moreover, the young magistrate next door was not very old.

After thinking about it, he sighed and said, "This son is not dead, and it is difficult for Xia to go. Let us not think so much. Write a letter to the Empress Dowager and let them find a way to go."

As he said that, he started writing.

And he wrote two letters by "the heart of a villain to judge a gentleman's belly", one was densely placed in a wax ball, and the other was placed in the soles of the guard's shoes, and the other was an open letter.

This prevents Wang Ju from sending people to search on the road.

Search for a ghost.

However, as for Wang Ju's words about Liang's family, these words were automatically erased.

The next day, the three of them followed the army all the way south, intentionally preventing him from contacting prisoners of war.

As for what is confidential about the terrain, it doesn’t matter. When Wei Ming Kerong returns, he will definitely not go on Qingzhou Road, but will return to Xixia from Guoxin Road. By that time, the entire Hengshan has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Liang family also received a secret letter from Weiming Kerong.

Liang did not see Wang Ju's evaluation of her, so he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the envoy successfully entered the capital of the Song Dynasty, it would be easy.

However, the first thing that Wang Ju said was beneficial to the Western Xia was, Liang's first one, and she had no choice but to see how the three envoys fought for the capital of the Song Dynasty.

The second thing she was still very cautious, but after thinking about it, it was in vain. Ren Duolingding was still fighting Dong Wu frantically.

Compared with the history, Dong Wen was lucky first, but then a little sad.

Because it was cold and the speed of gathering the army was slow, by the time he invaded Hexi, he had heard the news of the defeat of Xixia repeatedly. Therefore, the army went deep into Hexi to invade, and the plundering was far better than the plundering in history.

But unexpectedly, Xixia was suddenly defeated, and then Renduolingding led the defeated army and was also the Ai army, fighting with him. Dong Wen just wanted to get benefits, but wanted to fight with him, so he had to rush to transfer the captured materials to Huangzhou.

Renduoling Ding was even more anxious. After this battle, Xixia was very miserable. Now supplies are human lives! Especially Dong Wen and his family took away many Tubo people, that is, the original Liugu tribe's remnants. Compared with supplies, the population of Xixia is now more precious!

One wanted to transfer the materials he had taken to immediately, but was reluctant to let go. The other wanted to keep the materials.

Therefore, as we fought, we made a real fire.

The entire Lingzhou to Xingqing Prefecture was very empty, and the Liang family was worried that they would not have time to attack Xiazhou. In fact, Xixia was really miserable at this time, even worse than the information sent by the scouts sent by Wang Ju.

But even if Wang Ju knows, he won’t send troops anymore.

This is called stopping at the right time. In fact, you can also take advantage of advancement and retreat. Take advantage of this opportunity to launch some medium-sized battles, but if you continue to fight, the Song Dynasty's finance will not be able to bear it.

Therefore, Wang Ju had already turned his focus to Neizhi secretly. It was just that he continued to stay in Yanzhou.

…………

The willows began to be a little green, and Yao Dachong came to Zuyang's home again.

Wei Ming Kerong and Liang were smart people. Smart people thought too much. They might not believe what Wang Ju said. Just like some time ago, Wang Ju wrote to Liang Yi, "Let's fight and be peaceful." As a result, only three or four days later, Tiandu Mountain Camp and the Palace were gone, and hundreds of thousands of troops were separated and tens of thousands of people fled back.

But ordinary people can only rely on observation to analyze. Wang Ju only needs to build a fortress in Hengshan. A fortress has not crossed Hengshan, so it means that Wang Ju did not have any ideas about Yanzhou.

Especially the tens of thousands of Poche troops retreated. Although countless people from Qingzhou sent them to the scene, they believed that the Song army would withdraw from Yanzhou soon.

Therefore, they went crazy one by one, and those who had no money rushed to the front line and tried their best to get the salt.

For them, this is also equivalent to robbing money.

Moreover, after the government identified and registered, it also transferred some supplies and large livestock to lend them salt. As long as you are more diligent, you can easily earn more than a dozen chunks of money in a month.

More than ten cents of money. If you pick it in the mud, how long does it take to pick it out?

Therefore, countless people handed over the children to the elderly at home, and even the spring farming production was also handed over to the elderly at home. They flocked to the front line to register and then entered various salt roads. Especially the people in the front line, all the small amount of winter wheat they planted was used as horse feed and eaten by the Xixia people. Without the burden of winter wheat, almost even the elderly and women went on the salt road. Even at the third o'clock, they could still watch teams of people pulling salt on the road.

As for those who are rich, they are collecting money and silk frantically. They are preparing to stock up on a large scale without having to retail. As long as the salt road is closed, they can make more than three points of profit after they change hands.

They went crazy together. How could Yao Dachong not force Zu Yang to debt?

Zu Yang became brave this time and said, "Brother Yao, don't worry, I promise to repay it in ten days."

"What will you pay back ten days later?" Yao Dachong sarcastically.

"The magistrate came to my house a few days ago and promised to lend me a few thousand guan for one cent. Then I went to Qingzhou City and met the magistrate. Zhang Tongtong also agreed and said that ten days later, I asked me to take Li Zheng to Qingzhou to write a contract, and then I could bring 4,000 guan of money and silk home."

"Hahaha," Yao Dachong laughed and said after laughing: "Are you talking about the Heavenly Book? Why do you help you if you are a great governor? Is there a point of profit in this world? The Qingmiao Law pays back every half a year, and you still have two points of profit."

If you don’t know the inside story, ten people will not believe it.

"Brother Yao, I really won't lie to you."

"I care whether you cheat or not, and I will take his wife and daughter away to pay off the debt."

"Brother Yao, you can't do this." Zu Yang was anxious. Can this be taken away? He pulled him away from the front, and his wife behind him would definitely be ruined. So he stepped forward to stop him.

But he was not the match of the servant brought by Yao Dachong. He kicked him over to the ground with just a few kicks, making his nose and face swollen, and then dragged his wife and eldest daughter away.

Zu Yang was about to cry but no tears. A villager in the village happened to come back from Huai'an Town. He didn't dare to interfere just now. When Yao Dachong dragged the person away, he came over and said, "Brother Yang, what you said is true?"

"It's true."

"That judge Zhang Tong is in Huai'an Town, you go find him immediately."

In fact, Zu Yang was also scared, otherwise even if Zhang Feng was not in Huai'an Town, he would have to go to Qingzhou City immediately. Although he was a little far from Huai'an Town to Qingzhou City, he had no horses, so it would take a lot of time to go back and forth, but it would be better than sitting here and staring blankly.

After hearing the villagers say this, Zuyang got up and rushed towards Huaian Town.

Zhang Yue is indeed in Huai'an Town. This Qingzhou Development Fund is actually a junior bank. Of course, a more advanced bank cannot be implemented in the Song Dynasty. However, it not only belongs to the junior bank, but also the lowest version of the junior bank.

Of course, this version also makes everyone feel incredible.

However, it must first absorb the money from the people before lending. At least it is the only one now, and no other bank transfers capital, and the government's money is inconvenient to misappropriate, there must be a process of depositing first and then releasing it.

It was too late to write Lubu, and there were many people who could not read.

Moreover, Zhang Yu has to face two major problems. One is the credibility of the court. If you don’t want to let go, it is mainly to survive. However, the imperial court’s edicts are open to the Qin and Chu. If you keep changing, how can you talk about credit?

Secondly, the problem is even bigger, credit is a small matter. No matter how bad the credit of the Song Dynasty was, it was no worse than that during the Republic of China. The main reason is that the people may not be used to it at all now.

It is true that many people have spare money in their hands. Even without Qingyan this time, the amount of spare money in their hands in Qingzhou will not be small. But after having money, in addition to landing and houses, they will then be buried underground.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty market was seriously lacking in circulating currency, but when it was unearthed in later generations, thousands or tens of thousands of silos of copper coins were often dug out from the ground, and 80% were copper coins from the Song Dynasty.

So Zhang Shi put down his stance and handed over the government affairs to other officials first. He himself brought a large group of clerks to the front line in person. There were three major green salt trading locations on the front line of Qingzhou. Zhang Shi first took him to Huai'an Town.

First, he posted a post to the public, and second, he personally explained to the people, and even used Wang Ju's position in the hearts of the people to persuade the people. Then he set up a point in Huai'an Town, wrote a contract on the spot, and stored the freight money distributed by the people from the government. In fact, this was just a formality, mainly because after obtaining the consent of the people, he could transfer the money directly into this development fund within the government.

But this is a deadline that has to be gone. Otherwise, it will be a sensation.

While he was lobbying everyone with great sincerity, Zu Yang came over and listened to Zu Yang finishing the story. Seeing Zu Yang being beaten, Zhang Feng was furious.
To be continued...
