Jia Hui rode a horse to Hezhou in one breath. After seeing Wang Ju, he said, "Taibao, it's so far away."

He came from Mizhou, of course, very far away.

Wang Zichuan said disdainfully: "If Taibao is given ten years, the territory of the Song Dynasty can reach the Xiaohai in the north, the Pamir Mountains in the west, and the Yalu River in the east."

This is basically the territory at the peak of the Tang Dynasty.

However, Wang Zichuan didn't understand it very much. Although the Tang Dynasty had a large territory, many areas were banished areas and could not be controlled. Unlike the Song Dynasty, although the territory was small, 90% could be directly controlled. Zhao Kuangyin used a jade axe to slash the Dadu River and went westward. I didn't want it anymore to damage the Chinese people's strength.

The west is full of foreigners and Qiang people, and governance is very difficult. At least the court cannot benefit, and officers and soldiers must be dispatched. However, the money of these officers and soldiers is paid by the people of the Central Plains to pay taxes. If there is a rebellion, more expenses will be paid. Therefore, if the court does not make any profit, it will harm the financial and civilians of the Central Plains.

This idea is also negative.

However, Wang Ju's idea was a bit negative. He focused too much on practicality. For example, the Southwest Yi was temporarily uncontrollable, so Wang Ju let this country stand strangely in the southwest of the Song Dynasty.

This so-called practicality means that it has military value. For example, Xixia, or places that can benefit, such as Jiaozhi Dali, the court will explore. And once it is developed, it is necessary to find a way to make the court control as much as possible.

However, in the Song Dynasty, where most people feared the war, Wang Ju's so-called practical idea was still popular among mainstream groups.

In other words, Wang Ju had this condition and might not have led the Song Dynasty army to Lake Baikal and Pamir.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty believed in Wang Ju and continued to support Wang Ju strongly, but it was still impossible for ten years. Unless Wang Ju was given twenty years, he would manage the Yellow River, further levy taxes, and train a large number of border troops with strict military disciplines in Hedong, Hebei and Hedong. At the same time, he had to find ways to allow the Liao Kingdom to promote miscellaneous grains in Yanyun, Liaodong, and cultivate them. Only by effectively managing and controlling them, then within the second decade, Wang Ju might be able to destroy the Liao Kingdom.

But this is impossible... It is just that Zhao Xu can continue to live, so that Wang Ju can dominate the world for twenty years?

Moreover, the various ills of the Song Dynasty were already profound. Even if Wang Ju was replaced as the emperor, they could not correct these ills one by one. Once they were completely corrected, there would be chaos in the world!

In this way, it is better to open up the other shore. Wouldn't the territory be bigger? And Wang Ju can draw whatever he wants.

However, Wang Ju's various actions over the past six years, as well as some of the principles of governing the country he vaguely said, will not only delay the lifespan of the Song Dynasty, but will also bring reflection to many people. In addition, the enlightenment of the future of the other shore, perhaps the emergence of a new regime in the future will imitate the other shore.

That is the real beginning of a new life.

Wang Ju will not explain these to Wang Zichuan.

He said, "Ziru, why did you come from Mizhou?"

Jia Hui said: "Taibao, the other side brings good news."

"What news?"

“A super-large copper mine was found in Leslie.”

Lizhou is on the farther side, probably in Chile. Anyway, there is no way to map the standard map there now. Wang Ju just estimated and named the settlement Lizhou.

If it was Lizhou, it would not be unusual to find a large copper mine. Wang Ju's face was calm and he listened to Jia Hui's words.

"Taibao, this copper mine can produce an estimated annual output of 15 million kilograms."

Wang Ju was finally moved.

15 million kilograms, only about 8,000 tons, and it is just that in later generations.

But this was in the Song Dynasty.

Jia Hui said again: "And according to the craftsmen's reports, conservative estimates can be mined for thirty or forty years."

"This is good news..." Wang Ju took two steps. The copper did not work much on the other side. Some of the casting vessels were transported back to the Song Dynasty and some of the copper was replaced with copper coins.

The currency on the other side is also divided into two types: silk exchange and copper coins. The silk exchange styles of the Song Dynasty were different, and they were not as exquisite as the Song Dynasty. Of course, the situation was different. If the workmanship in the Song Dynasty was not exquisite, there would be bold people who would make fake currency on a large scale. The other side was no longer needed, and even those who were bold also lacked relevant silk materials.

Because the two currencies are different, they are not circulated with each other. Even part of the silk exchanges in the Song Dynasty had been circulated in the Liao Kingdom and the Western Xia Champa Wa, but they were not circulated to the other side. The seamen received silk exchanges in the Song Dynasty and were also used to buy goods.

But the copper coins are different. The other side has been using the Song Dynasty copper coins. Instead of minting a copper coins, he has been constantly using copper to exchange for the Song Dynasty for copper coins. This is Wang Ju repeatedly stated, because this copper coins are the link between the two sides, so that the people on the other side will not forget their roots...

However, on the other side of the shore, the copper coins may be equivalent to the one-yuan and five cents coins of ****, so the amount of circulating is not too large.

However, in the Song Dynasty, the more copper coins, the more it is conducive to the stability of silk exchange.

Wang Ju thought about it and found that this was good news and must be used. Therefore, he wrote a memorial to report this situation to the court and promised that the other side would provide the Song Dynasty with more than 10 million kilograms of raw copper every year in the future, but all of these coppers were used to mint coins, and fifty jin of copper coins were paid to the other side every year.

Ten million kilograms of copper must be more than fifty jin of coins, and even according to the purchase price of the court, it is close to three million jin. As for the rest, it is offset by the "annual tribute" of the future 150,000 taels of gold.

"Taibao, you are loyal to the Song Dynasty, but many people don't appreciate your affection." Jia Hui said.

This is also a relatively elf person, so he later introduced him one after another and now he is in charge of the other side of Mizhou.

"Ziru, how did you say this?"

Jia Hui reported some of the information he had inquired about to Wang Ju.

Sima Kang went to Beijing to file a complaint, but Sima Guang was really sick, and he heard that he was very ill.

No matter how thick Sima Guang is, he can't stand it if he is embarrassed.

In addition, many people thought that Wang Ju left the court, so monsters and monsters emerged together, and there were all kinds of things. Even Wang Ju came to Hezhou, in order to facilitate ethnic integration, he selected three girls from each tribe as his son's future concubines, and some people also talked about Wang Ju's selection of concubines for his son.

"Who said it?" Wang Ju said angrily.

Wang Ju is not afraid of domestic affairs now, but foreign affairs, and is afraid of someone using overseas kings to make money. Just like in Liaodong, if you are not afraid of someone making money, you can select 10,000 officers and soldiers from the Song Dynasty to learn Goryeo and sneak into Liaodong, and the entire Liaodong will be even more deteriorating.

But no, once the Song army sees the other side loading the army to fight in Liaodong, there will definitely be people who will think about it.

Until now, Wang Ju doesn’t know that Liaodong has undergone a huge change ahead of schedule…

Jia Hui shook his head. He just sent someone to secretly find out about some passers-by, but he was unable to find out the inside story of the court.

It's okay. Wang Ju wrote a letter and asked Zhang Dun to hear the inside story and the truth.

Fei'er worried, "Will these people ruin the affairs of officials..."

"That won't be. As long as the front line continues to win, these few people will not be able to make trouble, no matter how troubles are made."

"Official, I'm afraid that Sima Guang will be really angry to death."

"Fai'er, you said it wrong. If you are so angry, no matter how much burden I carry, it will be worth it!"

What you want is this effect. If Sima Guang is not angry, Wang Ju will be disappointed.

Jia Hui returned to the capital with the memorial written by Wang Ju. Wang Ju did this and had a lot of intentions to add points to the other side. What is the overseas king or the choice of concubines? That is a false thing. Otherwise, why would he try so hard to send gold, silver and copper to the Song Dynasty? At the same time, it would also make Zhao Xu feel more at ease.

The fiscal year will not be tense in the next two years. What is tense is the year after tomorrow. In the year after tomorrow, only 500,000 jin of copper coins will be returned, but it can minus 4 million jin of copper coins. In addition to deducting costs, it can make a profit of 8 million jin in three years.

Although the frontline spends money with great effort, what should be spent is still spent, but at the critical moment, these eight million coins will play an incalculable role.

Silk exchange was circulated in a large scale, but the currency recognized by the people is still mainly copper coins. With more copper coins flowing to the market, it will stabilize Silk exchange, further prosper the economy, and will also bring a lot of income to the Song Dynasty in disguise.

Wang Ju also has another intention. Once she formally submits it to the court, everyone will pay attention to it when facing so much raw copper. Even if Gao Taotao comes to power, Gao Taotao will pay attention to it. Then when she makes some decisions, she will carefully check it.

Wang Ju started to take action, and he had to win one after another. Then the only one who caused trouble was a small group of people. Public opinion would never let that small group of people shake... But what Wang Ju didn't know was that it was this bronze that really made Sima Guang so angry!

ps: Two notebooks, one of which crashed the system, and the other one spent a whole afternoon, and was dizzy... (To be continued.)
