Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 283 A Good Disciple Who Concentrates on Saving Master's Money (Part [-])

The Song Dynasty has always been short of both copper and silver, if this big event can really be done.

For him, Zongze, it was definitely a brilliant achievement.

But for all of this, we still need to wait until he goes to Dengzhou to take office and try the method of drying salt to see if it is really useful before we can know the result.

"Today, a certain came here specially to thank that virtuous brother Guizhang, but he didn't want to, and he gave Zong another big surprise."

"This kind of friendship, Zong really can't repay it..."

"Brother Ru Lin, don't think so. What you should think about is how to achieve outstanding results. Only in this way can you live up to the painstaking efforts of that child prodigy champion."

"……Um!"

Just after the envoy sent by Xiao Fengxian traveled starry night and returned to Daliao in the shortest time, he first rushed to Nanjing in Liao Kingdom to rest for a day.

Afterwards, we continued all the way north, and finally met the emperor of Liao who liked to hunt everywhere.

After the emperor of Liao Kingdom received the urgent news from Xiao Fengxian, he was directly furious.

After being furious, he was afraid, and even a little bit lucky.

Furious at that Xixia dog thief, he dared to flirt with Da Song without telling himself, and quietly shook hands to make peace.

The last thing I fear is that if Xiao Fengxian, the uncle, is not smart enough and astute, even the capital of Daliao will be kept in the dark by the fake news released by the Xixia dog thieves.

Fortunately, originally I just wanted my uncle Xiao Feng to go to the Song Dynasty first to be gilded by the way.

Unexpectedly, Aifei's brother is actually a very intelligent pillar of the country.

Although there were not no objections among the Daliao ministers who were called to discuss the matter.

However, it was not just Xiao Fengxian who was talking nonsense alone, but Yelu Hongguang, the chief official of the Daliao Kingdom Trust Institute who had been in charge of the foreign affairs of the Song Dynasty for more than ten years and had always been trusted by the court, also proved it.

It can't be that the chief and deputy envoys join hands to deceive the emperor of Daliao, right?After all, that would be of no benefit to them at all.

What's more, the fast horse they sent brought physical evidence, a brand new Xia Guojian.

This thing, even Daliao doesn't have many handles, isn't that enough proof?

A group of ministers and workers argued for a long time, and finally, Emperor Tianzuo made the final decision in person, Xu Xiaofengxian took full responsibility and made a decision on the fly.

In addition, because of this merit, Xiao Fengxian joined the privy envoy of the Northern Academy.

Furthermore, in order to retaliate against Xixia, it was decided to ban the sale of Xixia tea and send envoys to blame.

Because Xixia has no way to obtain tea from Song State, Xixia tea is either smuggled, or obtained from Song State through the hands of Liao people.

Once the necessities of life are missing, it will definitely be a huge blow to the semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural Xixia people.

"... Originally His Majesty wanted to send troops to attack, but those traitors in the court persuaded His Majesty on the grounds that they should not use their swords rashly and waste the country's power."

"Some people even used the two previous battles of Daliao against Xia during Xingzong's period to persuade His Majesty."

Xiao Fengxian picked up the fine wine in front of him with an indifferent face and took a big gulp.

It's not something he should worry about now about how those big shots in the court are crooked.

Fortunately, because I saw through the truth of Song Xia's secret truce and friendship, I finally won His Majesty's favor and became a privy envoy of the North Court.

As long as I can finish the two important things that I agreed with Gao Zhang, after I return to China, I will let my sister blow the pillow more, I am afraid that a privy envoy who knows the North Court (the second in command of the Privy Council of Liao Kingdom) can do it Get it firmly.

"Tomorrow, I will personally go to have a good chat with my second senior brother. I don't know how he is preparing for the matter."

Speaking of this, Xiao Fengxian couldn't help but reached into his bosom and took out two beautiful Song Dynasty coins and began to look at them.

As for the books, Gao Zhang said he was afraid it would take some time.For Xiao Fengxian, it doesn't matter, as long as Song Guo can provide enough books and coins.

Then, Daliao will take out a sufficient amount of wool, sheepskin, etc. according to the market price for trade.

No matter how much he needs, Daliao, whose entire territory is mostly a vast grassland, can get it.

"As a teacher, I really didn't expect that this iron coin can be made so beautiful."

The official Zhao Ji looked at the iron coins pressed by the hydraulic forging press on the case table and was amazed.

When I heard Gao Zhang mention that the cost of this iron coin is not even one-tenth of the copper coin or even less.

The cost required to make Yitong is about [-] Wen, the official Zhao Ji couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"I remember the Ministry of Household Affairs before, and said that the cost of making money for the Qianjian has increased a lot this year. It has been consistent and two or three hundred dollars, and the system is consistent."

"Hey... If I, Da Song, can make money as easily as Xiao Gao, it would be so easy to make iron money."

Hearing Master Zhao Ji's emotion, Gao Zhang touched his nose, hesitant, but finally couldn't help it.

"Master, this disciple feels that if we can use brass instead of bronze to make money in Song Dynasty, then the cost can be reduced by at least [-]%."

"Brass money?" The official Zhao Ji and Yang Jian repeated these words in unison.

"Exactly, my disciple remembers that I, Da Song, once made some green and brass coins..."

While speaking, he reached into his money bag, took out a copper coin of Huang Xili and placed it on the table.

That's right, this is a copper coin made of brass. Gao Zhang didn't know until he came to this era that the Song Dynasty not only had bronze, but also brass.

Even during the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty, "green and yellow copper coins" were issued in some areas, that is, coins made of a mixture of brass and bronze, probably to prevent counterfeiting.

There are also individual brass coins, but the quantity is not much. Gao Zhang was also wandering in the market. Only after seeing this thing did he realize that brass had already appeared in the Song Dynasty.

When he knew that there was brass in this era, and even used brass to make copper plates, Gao Zhang had a bold idea.

But considering his disposition as a foolish ruler and master, Gao Zhang kept silent all the time.

However, since Master Hunjun expressed such emotion today, it is definitely a good opportunity for Gao Zhang.

"You mean, if you use this kind of brass to make money instead of bronze, you can save at least half of the cost?"

"Xiao Gaoyou isn't joking with Wei Shi, is he?"

"What did the master say? How dare the disciple make fun of such a big matter."

Gao Zhang pointed to the brass coin he took out seriously.
