Great Husband of the Northern Song Dynasty

Vol 2 Chapter 1218: Capital Wars and Currency Wars

Su Shi was praised by the officials!

As soon as the news spread out, Su Xun's excited old tears broke down, leaving behind the book being edited, and ran to Yan Shitai.

Su Shi was being congratulated by colleagues. When he saw his father coming, he hurriedly took him into the duty room, and then went to make tea in person.

"Daddy, you drink hot tea, go and add some charcoal fire."

Su Shi fiddled with the charcoal basin, thinking that his share seemed to be running out, so he decided to find someone to borrow.

"Don't be busy with this." Su Xun held the tea cup and said excitedly: "For the father, I heard that the official's house praised you?"

Su Shi nodded, "Yes."

Su Xun raised his head and sighed, satisfied, said: "My son, rejoice in the heart of the Father!"

The three of Su's father and son went all the way to Beijing with the celebrities, and then the imperial examinations did not live up to expectations. But today, Su Xun himself can only compile books because of his old age. However, Su Qi's temperament is a bit extreme, so it should not be reused.

The family was counting on Su Shi, seeing that he was good at Yu Shitai, Su Xun thought to wait a few years before going to find someone to help, anyway, let Su Shi change places, be promoted to something.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the official family to praise Su Shi personally. This is an unexpected joy!

Su Xun smiled, Su Shi smiled and said: "Dad, thanks to Anbei for this matter."

"How to say?" Su Xun is grateful to Shen An, so he also has a share in hearing this, and he can't help but feel more happy.

"Someone who didn't know the secrets inside, just happened to meet Anbei outside the Imperial City. He told someone carefully. Someone returned to Yushitai, just as those colleagues were talking about it. Someone said something about Anbei. When they came out, they still did n’t believe it. When they turned around, Liao Eng took the people away, and they believed it. Daddy, you did n’t see their eyes! They thought that a certain strategy is unparalleled. But who knows this is Anbei ’s words? . "

"Anbei ... he helped our family and he helped you a lot, but this time it was even more helpful ..." Su Xun looked at his son and said in earnest: "Anbei's views on diplomatic affairs are unparalleled. You But learn well and learn from him. "

"Yes." Su Shi secretly groaned inwardly, but dared not refuse.

"Anbe treats you this way, and you must not let this down." Su Xun said with a straight face: "You should be sincere to him afterwards, otherwise ... you will clean up for your father."

Su Shi even had his son, but was so threatened by his father, he couldn't help laughing.

"Laugh!" Su Xun couldn't help laughing, and then said: "Let's go back and ask your brother to go and see what happened to Guoguo's child. If you want a copybook, for the father, you, you Brother, write more and send it over. "

"Yes." This Su Shi didn't care. Besides, he felt that he and Shen An were brothers. There was no need to do so deliberately. But he didn't dare to violate his father's account, so he had to take the time to write a few articles and send them out.

Su Xun got up and said: "You are born to work in Yushitai. The official's house must have your name. When the opportunity comes later, you will be changed to an official. Remember to act with caution."

"Yes." Su Shi took him out of the door, and the colleagues outside smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Su Xun said with a smile: "He is still far away."

"Su Yushi, someone finds it."

Outside, Su Shi quickly helped his father out, and when he reached the gate, he saw a man standing on his back.

"Zi Zhan ......"

The man turned back, but it was Zhao Xu.

After seeing Su Xun, he bowed his hands and said hello.

Su Xun was happy to see his son and prince had a good relationship, so he smiled and said a few good things, and then went alone.

As soon as he left, Zhao Xu said, "An'an, let's go together and say something happened."

When the two arrived at Shen's house, Wang Xu had already arrived.

In the study, Shen An said: "It's not easy to take a leave over there, so I will talk to you about this matter temporarily."

"What's the matter?"

Wang Xu's marriage is approaching, and the whole person is in a state of anxiety, but he can see joy in his eyebrows.

"The abolition of the year coin is very important, and it involves the general trend of Song and Liao, but it is still the same. Someone has not told others, here today ... Zizhan, what do you want?"

As time went by, the small group became more and more stable. Shen An used his performance to tell these little friends that doing something was the most reliable.

So he wants to talk, everyone will listen carefully, but Su Shi is restless there.

"Anbe, someone guessed, could it be the abolition of the currency ..." Su Shi raised an eyebrow and said, "Some heard that Xiao Guanyin loves the Stone Story deeply, and she learned that it was written by you, would it ...

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Everyone could not help laughing, even Wang Jiao.

"Null talk!" Shen An said a little embarrassedly: "Don't talk about this, say something, can you wait to know what is capital?"

Everyone nodded, Su Shi said: "Family property is capital."

Shen An nodded, "When you are a small family, the capital can be used by your family. What can you do to get rich, live a good life, and benefit your family ... But what if it is the capital of a country?"

"The capital of a country?"

"Yes." Shen An smiled and said: "What can a country's capital do?"

Su Shi said, "Bless the people of a country."

Zhao Xu leaned back slightly and thought for a while, "I think it should be a co-ordination. The affairs of a country are cumbersome, whether it is the people's livelihood or the army, or the powerful officials, these must be co-ordinated ..."

"What do you think of Yuanze?" Shen An asked Wang Xu.

"The capital of a country ..." Wang Jiao said: "A certain thought is a weapon, which can weaken the dignitaries, control the army, and allow officials to be loyal ..."

Shen An nodded slightly and said, "The capital of a country should be used internally for the country. The enemy country for external use ... Can you wait to know that capital can subvert a country?"

"what?"

The three were stunned.

Shen An talked eloquently, "The capital is all-encompassing, let's just say that money and trade are two things. The Song Dynasty cut off the discussion with the Xixia people, making them miserable, holding salt in their hands but nowhere to sell ... This is a means of trade, which hit the people and finances of Xixia ... "

This is a completely new angle. The three of them couldn't help suppressing the frequency of breathing and listening carefully.

Shen An calmly continued: "For example, the abolition of the old coins for the Liao people not only cracked down on the arrogance of the Liao people, but also invigorated the spirit of the Song Dynasty, and the centuries of humiliation were washed away ... many people will Switch to the innovation side ... This is the benefit for the domestic market, but for foreign countries? "

"For foreign countries, the Great Song, who has been surrendering for a hundred years, abolished the year coins. This is the killer, that is, the persecution. It is telling the Liao people that the Song will no longer succumb, if he has the guts to just let it go."

Shen An contemptuously said: "But Yelu Hongji dare to go south to gamble on the National Games? A certain assertion that he must not dare!"

"Since he didn't dare to gamble on the national games, the morale of the people's hearts of Liao will naturally fall." Shen An suddenly raised his eyebrows. "The morale of the people's hearts of the Song Dynasty has been falling for a century. Now that the Liao people have changed, you can wait to know if this is what?"

The three looked excited, and Wang Jiao slapped the table and said, "The National Games have been reversed!"

"Yes." Shen An is also very excited. "This is to reverse the century-long national games between Song and Liao. Since then, the Song Dynasty has gradually risen, but the Liao Kingdom will gradually decline until it is swept into the garbage. stack……"

Zhao Xu smiled proudly, "We will retake the land of Youyan!"

"That's for sure." Su Shi said: "When a certain army goes, some Liao people will be killed anyway."

Shen An suddenly said: "This is only one aspect, on the other hand, the cancellation of the year-old currency will make Liaoguo's finances unable to make ends meet ... but expenditure is indispensable, what will Yelu Hongji do?"

Just like the Song Dynasty, the annual financial expenditure of Liaoning will only increase more and more, and it is impossible to reduce it. Therefore, once the fiscal revenue shrinks, Liao will have a hard time.

"Tax increase!" Wang Ju found the answer without hesitation.

Shen An nodded approvingly, "After the tax increase, people in Liao will complain and the contradictions in the country will become more prominent. What is this?"

He got up slowly and said, "This is called ... capital war!"

"Capital War?" Su Shi frowned: "Are you going to war with capital?"

"Yes." Shen An said: "The dispute between the two countries involves quite a lot. How to weaken each other in peacetime, so that the other party can not be aware of, this is a knowledge, and this is what you want to tell you today ... Capital war! "

Wang Jiao's eyes lit up and asked, "Brother An Bei, Da Song and the Liao people have a discussion, but in the end Da Song earns much more ... Is this also a capital war?"

"Yes." Shen An laughed: "The Song Dynasty has a ban, many things are not allowed to be sold in the market, and ... whether it is a dew or a crystal mirror, are these things good for the national economy and people's livelihood?"

The three of them shook their heads, Zhao Xu said: "These things can only be bought by rich people, gentry, dignitaries, clansmen ... when they are bought, they will only be used for their own sake, and will not benefit the country."

"So most of them are sold abroad." Shen An didn't want to sell in the Song Dynasty, but just wanted to harvest the foreign money first, "As for the domestic ... Those rich and gentry money, don't earn nothing."

Wang Xu nodded and praised: "Brother Anbe said this kindly. Someone thought it was necessary to investigate the tax payment of these people. If they found violations, they would be punished ten times and they must be allowed to change their voice.

Ten times the penalty ...

Shen An smiled, thinking that if this were the case, this class was almost ruined.

"For example currency ... copper money."

Shen An looked at these three people, especially Zhao Xu and Wang Xu. He knows that there will be many unpredictable futures for Song Dynasty, and it will require countless people to fight for it.

Zhao Shu is the future emperor, he needs to let the future emperor know this knowledge.

Wang Jiao is a clever guy ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ Let him know this, and he can come up with more malicious ideas in the future.

"For example, in the past foreign merchants like to use goods to cover the Song Dynasty copper coins, why?" Shen An asked.

"Da Song's copper coins are valuable." Su Shi's answer is very standard.

"Da Song Shao copper mine, mining and smelting is not easy, and the value is very high, after being taken away, not to mention its own value, Da Song's lack of money is an attack."

Shen An needs to let them know these truths, so that they will see the layers that others can't see.

My partner, they should be able to lead the world.

Shen An thought so and did the same.

"So when Su Yan went down south, a certain official spokesperson forbids foreign merchants to take away the copper coins. After Su Yan went away, he was very suppressing some big food merchants. The balance is the counter currency of the counterparty ... In the long run, the shortage of currency in the counterparty's country will create various drawbacks. "

The lack of copper money in the Song Dynasty led to the use of iron money and Jiaozi in Shudi.

This is ...

"These currency exchanges can directly hit a country's national economy and people's livelihood." Shen An said lightly: "This is called ... currency war!"
