In the future, this court in the Southern Song Dynasty is bound to be a restless court. They can’t be satisfied with the current situation, and they will try their best to change it. Besides, as far as I know Zhang Jun’s past, it will be as long as three years or as short as two years, and he will definitely take up arms. "
Before Xin Qiji’s departure, Su Yonglin and his ministers discussed the new government of the Southern Song Dynasty.
In the next few years, the mainstream for the empire is construction, the Yellow River diversion project, and the horse water conservancy projects in various places. The empire is building and recovering, and war is not the mainstream.
Once the Southern Song Dynasty government changed its nature, it would try its best to change the status quo and seek war.
For such a situation, Wu Chen’s side is more than surprised
You just won the battle and even Xin Qiji despised the Southern Song Dynasty.
"In the Southern Song Dynasty, the military strength was weak, and it was not as good as taking the initiative to attack or passive defense. If I dared to fight, it would be a big increase in the annual currency."
Even many people on the civil servants’ side think that it is very difficult to restore the economy even if the Southern Song Dynasty was squeezed by many parties, not to mention that after five years of military service, they could not rebuild, and even worse, they took the initiative to attack.
But Su Yonglin doesn’t see it that way.
"Before saying that five years can’t be rebuilt is the judgment of the constant struggle of the Southern Song Dynasty, and now the Southern Song Dynasty court is the main battle party official and the emperor Zhao Shen’s goal of revenge is very true.
In this case, it is not difficult to afford to restore the army in a short time, but the question of whether they can afford it alone is definitely not possible, but don’t forget that the maritime trade in the Southern Song Dynasty was extremely developed and the income of maritime merchants was extremely rich! "
Su Yonglin’s first court meeting brought out the matter of sea trade.
So the ministers had to add this variable to the overall game situation between the two sides.
Previously, the imperial court had hardly been to commercial issues at the national level.
There is no doubt that in the Southern Song Dynasty, the commercial field was very dominant, and the sea trade was even more dominant. East Asia, Southeast Asia and South Asia were all countries in the Middle East and Africa, and every year, the sea trade could bring them huge financial income.
Although this income has not been used by them to improve the national economy and people’s livelihood, it is objective and Su Yonglin is very greedy
The big country has just established a country to undertake it, or the Jin State is still fighting and restoring construction. There are big projects and agricultural production problems everywhere. At this stage, agricultural production and restoration engineering construction are the most important, and business must be pulled over.
Furthermore, before the commercial development, there was abundant material production. What can we do with business without abundant material conditions?
It is not necessarily a good thing to do business with a large amount of production in the Southern Song Dynasty. They can’t eat and reproduce wealth through sea trade, which can make the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty accelerate decay and lead a more luxurious life, but can’t enhance the national strength of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Even if the money belongs to Su Yonglin, Su Yonglin has not swallowed it for the time being, because the country’s production system has not yet reached that point, rashly introducing large sums of money will cause inflation and unhealthy development of commerce, which will lead to the competition between commerce and agriculture for labor and undermine national stability
So it is obvious that Su Yonglin’s deliberate control of the empire does not have strong commercial power until now. The only thing that can be said is that he can’t put it on the table to talk about the illegal salt trade.
In this link, the empire took advantage of Song State and made a lot of money.
However, due to the Tang and Song Dynasties, China’s economic center of gravity moved south and the empire controlled the northern territory, so it was difficult for business to dominate. Many Song countries had exquisite businesses, which were manufactured by imperial method.
But then again, Su Yonglin did not pay much attention to commercial development in the early days of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. What he paid attention to was the control and development of important national security products and technologies.
For example, food production, iron smelting industry, and large-scale horse raising are the key to the death of the country and the combat effectiveness of the army. Of course, it is worth investing a lot of money to develop it.
In his business base, he inherited it from the Jin Dynasty and didn’t support it specially.
Without special support and technical problems, the competition in the commercial field of big countries is certainly not as good as that in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Just as Jin Guohai is not as good as the Southern Song Dynasty in trade.
It is not only Su Yonglin who doesn’t want the country for the time being, but also it is difficult to grab the share of sea trade from the Southern Song Dynasty unless a war is waged to completely destroy the Song Dynasty and replace it.
However, Su Yonglin did not intend and prepare for the destruction of the Song Dynasty for a short time.
Having said that, the empire is not without its own fist.
Apart from ginseng and pilose antler, which are well-known and precious medicinal materials and fur products, the best imperial products are excellent war horses and high-quality ordnance.
Su Yonglin is willing to make some money if he can find a suitable buyer to engage in ordnance trade, because the investment and income in this area are real, so he can reproduce and urge the iron smelting industry to accelerate its development.
Besides the unspeakable evil trade, what can make more money than the ordnance trade?
But then again, when it comes to sea trade, Su Yonglin has to think about getting up.
Chapter 73 Zhao Yucheng Deep Feeling
According to some officials in charge of foreign affairs in the former Jin State, it seems that these days there are mainly official and people contacts with the Southern Song Dynasty, and they are not interested in the Jin State.
According to diplomatic records, what’s the name of Japanese people these days?
Su Yonglin didn’t know who the Japanese speaker was, but he still remembered something like the source-peace war. If so, it seems that this era is not unified and chaotic.
Su Yonglin intends to send someone to Japan to learn about the specific situation of their business and trade with the Southern Song Dynasty.
Su Yonglin knows that the large-scale development and import of silver in America, China was the largest silver producer the day before yesterday, and a small island country has extremely rich silver deposits.
Through the trade day with the Southern Song Dynasty, it seems that a lot of silver has been imported into the Southern Song Dynasty, and the Southern Song Dynasty has solved some of the problems of old coins and silver, so the Southern Song Dynasty is also willing to trade with Japan
However, the Japanese like the copper coins of the Southern Song Dynasty very much, and they took a lot of copper coins of the Southern Song Dynasty back to themselves through trade, which further aggravated the money shortage of the Southern Song Dynasty and made deflation more severe.
Thinking of this, Su Yonglin suddenly felt that he could have a wave of exercises with Japan.
Not to mention anything about commerce, Su Yonglin didn’t care. The main thing is that being able to master the Japanese silver deposits can greatly improve China’s dependence on copper.
In the future, Su Yonglin intends to improve China’s monetary system with gold and silver, so that deflation cannot continue to affect the further development of the economy. At present, American silver is a flower in the mirror, but Japanese silver is available.
Copper mainly occupies a very important position in the future industrial body, even in the aspect of copper casting guns. It is not friendly for a country with a small copper output to pour the economic pressure department into the copper body.
It seems that there is a lot of copper in that island country in Southeast Asia.
Su Yonglin pondered and felt that the large-scale development of the navy and shipping has become an urgent need, and both gold and silver in Japan and copper mines in Southeast Asia will be indispensable and important resources after the future reunification.
Don’t say it now, but it’s not good to start preparing to master the local aborigines.
In particular, there are still some armed forces in Japan, and it will not be easy to stabilize the big country’s monetary system if the envoys want to get enough silver and gold from them by force.
So it’s time to start building East Asia and Southeast Asia sea tyrants.
When Su Yonglin began to build a big country and set a plan, Zhao Yucheng also worked hard to develop the southern group of the Renaissance Association and tried his best to expand its influence.
It’s been more than a year since Zhao Yucheng went south. At the beginning, he secretly sneaked into Jizhou and Nan ‘an Army near Jiangnan West Road in the Southern Song Dynasty to launch an operation. In a sense, it was developed from the beginning.
Facing the unfamiliar terrain, unfamiliar crowds, living customs and so on, Zhao Yucheng and others are facing very severe challenges.
However, they have not lost their hands and feet, but have developed step by step.
Because of the strict examination of the books in the Southern Song Dynasty, when they entered the Southern Song Dynasty, it was the state-owned salt selling team that helped the small officials in the Southern Song Dynasty to buy Xinyang Army. After Xinyang County really became a [Song Dynasty], they legally entered the Song Dynasty.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, the government did not encourage people to leave their places of residence to work and live in other places, but the management of their nationality was strict, but because of their excessive oppression, exile was very common, and many people were forced to leave their places of origin.
Ironically, the local government in the Southern Song Dynasty was quite indifferent to this phenomenon of passively leaving the place of origin for exile.
Probably because they think that they have left the local area and have industrial talents to be managed by them. He is all residue. Go as far as possible and don’t burden the local area.
Don’t say that they like to bully the weak and send people to the countryside to levy taxes, but they also have to pay a high price. Sometimes they have to face the risk of rebellion, which is not a risk.
All unstable factors are gone.
Although the subjective Southern Song government did not encourage it, it was because of the aversion to population mobility that the cruel oppression led to the increase of population mobility in the de facto country, which promoted the development of sea trade in the southeast coast in disguise.
Nevertheless, it is most common if refugees don’t want to legally move across regions in the Southern Song Dynasty, unless they are officials or celebrities who become businessmen and have documents issued by local officials.
Zhao Yucheng and others helped to buy the Southern Song nationality through the smuggling team and became businessmen selling silk cloth to cover up all the way from Xinyang Army to the Southern Song Dynasty and went south to Jizhou and Nan ‘an Army on Jiangnan West Road.
However, this does not mean absolute security.
Compared with the current state control and management of grass-roots universities, the average level of control and management of grass-roots universities in the Southern Song Dynasty belongs to preschool level.
Of course, in the Southern Song Dynasty, there were also some areas with performances above preschool level, and there were also some areas with prenatal education level.
Unfortunately, Zhao Yucheng and others tried several levels of grass-roots management in the Southern Song Dynasty all the way south.
University-level management, they have not experienced the highest management level in the Southern Song Dynasty, but also high school-level management level, which is considered to be very good management. They have experienced it in a county.
Then the junior high school level has experienced several counties, the primary school level experience is more, and the preschool and kindergarten level experience is more.
They also had the honor to experience the prenatal education level.
Specifically, during the trip, they escaped three bandits’ robberies and a refugee unrest, and were forced to face a group of bandits and succeeded. Then they experienced more than ten times of exploitation and interrogation by petty officials and officials along the way and demanded benefits.
They finally arrived in Jizhou successfully, entered Luling City, and stayed in a local hotel for businessmen.
It’s not a long journey to the south, but it’s really tiring
Compared with them, it is not a trek to reach Jizhou from the border of the Southern Song Dynasty, but also a journey to learn from the West.
There are not only bandits, rioters and refugees, but also local officials and officials who are more terrible than bandits and refugees.
