The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 160 Borrow Thirty Miles
As soon as Su Shi opened his mouth, Liang Xin knew what Su Shi meant.

"Stop." Liang Xin stopped Su Shi: "If you mention him, our friendship ends here." Su Shi was not nervous at all. He even dared to confront Renzong and was afraid of Liang Xin. Then he said: "You really The reason you don’t want him to return to Bianjing is that he won’t be of use to you.”

Liang Xin: "We are all smart people, why should we speak so clearly?"

Su Shi asked again: "What do you think of me and Ziyou?"

"A scholar, his poetry is unparalleled. Although my brother is blocked by your brilliance, he is still a very great scholar. But these four words for you, a scholar will harm the country."

"That's all." Su Shi didn't ask any more questions and just said, "When Zhang Dun leaves Dongkuoyuan, I will go home."

"Send to Mr. Dongpo."

This sentence of "sending Dongpo Gong" is not meant to be a gift, but to send Su Shi away from Dongkuoyuan.

After Su Shi left Liang Xin's study, Pu Jiannan came in.

Liang Xin sat there without moving, not even showing any outward courtesy to greet him.

After Pu Jiannan entered, Liang Xin said directly: "Poor little Goryeo official, you came here empty-handed, what are you going to do? If the housekeeper had advised me to treat my foreign friends well, I would not even bother to see you."

Such rudeness made Pu Jiannan speechless.

There is no way but to endure it.

Pu Jiannan said: "Liang Xiaojian, I want to spend money to buy those Korean women."

what.

Liang Xinpi smiled dryly: "You can't afford it."

"The school inspection didn't put a price on it, how do you know I can't afford it?"

Liang Xin: "200 people, each with one million gold. There are still a few people. I'll buy one and give the others to you. It's not much, ten thousand gold. I have to agree and send the money to you at this time tomorrow. If you can't afford it, please come back." .”

To redeem someone, Pu Jiannan could afford ten thousand gold, but he didn't have it now. It needed to be shipped from Goryeo.

Pu Jiannan: "Inspector, can you give me some time?"

"Not interested." After Liang Xin said that, she picked up the tea cup.

Pu Jiannan stood up: "Principal Liang, I am here with great sincerity. Why don't you come up with some conditions? I won't say a word more."

Liang Xin shook her head: "No rush, you can come back after a while and reiterate what you just said."

What does this mean?
Pu Jiannan's head turned rapidly, wondering what the pretty boy in front of him was waiting for.

Could something extremely detrimental to Dagoryeo happen?

In other words, there will be ships coming. What will the Jurchens do to Goryeo?
Pu Jiannan: "No, I can make the decision at this time."

Liang Xin laughed: "You can't do it. If you listen today and can't make the decision, can you bear the price?"

"Yes!" Pu Jiannan was confident.

As someone who stayed in the Song Dynasty and participated in the imperial examinations, he was the noble son of a high-ranking noble family in Goryeo, and was the person in charge of the Song Dynasty who was given corresponding powers by the King of Goryeo. He still had a lot of decision-making power.

Liang Xin also stood up: "Listen, I want thirty miles to open the capital, including the wharf, and within these thirty miles, everything will follow the Song Dynasty, and even taxes are not allowed to be collected by you. You... have this Will the power agree?"

Pu Jiannan took three steps back.

He thought a lot.

Whether Liang Xin wants money, treasures, or even people, he can always agree.

Only this.

Pu Jiannan instantly felt that his back was wet with sweat.

"Why, why?"

Liang Xin looked nonchalant: "Why, do I need to tell you?"

Pu Jiannan was not a good person, so he couldn't be manipulated by Liang Xin's words. He glanced sideways at his follower, but to his surprise, he was already sitting on the ground.

Pu Jiannan said at this time: "Among the women sent by the Jurchens on the ship, there is one named Yin, who is a noble daughter of the Yin Guan family. The Yin Guan family has already discussed the marriage with the princess's family. Everything goes well, and they will marry the princess's wife. younger sister."

"There is a future." Liang Xin suddenly smiled.Liang Xin took a few steps forward: "I, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, want you thirty miles for nothing. This is beneficial."

Pu Jiannan: "Song State, do you want to invade my country, Goryeo?"

"Big... Goryeo, hahaha." Liang Xin laughed: "They are still invading. Do you know what invasion is?"

"Appreciate further details."

"I'm not interested in explaining to you. There are only nine people in your mission this time. I'm afraid that a large amount of goods prepared before are piled up in the warehouse. You just need to dedicate these thirty miles to me, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. We will use 50 miles every year. Wan Guan coins are here to purchase your goods, not barter, but coins."

Liang Xin can definitely handle Korea.

Goryeo also minted money, but the Goryeo people themselves did not use the coined money. All the money saved by Goryeo aristocratic families was Song money.

coin.

For Goryeo, 50 guan was more attractive than bartering for goods worth millions of guan.

At this time, there is such a fact.

Song money is regarded as a national treasure by all countries in the world, and the Song Dynasty has long banned the circulation of copper coins. Liang Xin found this article in the files of Zhaowen Hall: Tibetan merchants often pretended to prohibit the ban and concealed copper coins. Bo change.

That is to say, Fan Shang risked being imprisoned and tried his best to exchange copper coins for his return.

It can be said that Song money was used around the Song Dynasty, and even as far away as Dashi.

All barbarians admire the copper coins of China.

This includes the Liao Kingdom.

The most attractive and craziest copper coins to the surrounding areas are Goryeo and Wado.

In the tribute trade, Song money could be exchanged for hundreds of guans for goods of thousands of guans, because the Song Dynasty had a decree that five guans were exiled and [-] guans were beheaded.

Pu Jiannan couldn't help but swallowed: "When?"

When.

Liang Xin understood.

It is the purchasing power of a copper coin, which can be used several times.

During the Yuanfeng period, Goryeo used a large amount of tribute trade and asked Shenzong to give coins. This is why there is a record of hundreds of coins being exchanged for thousands of goods.

Liang Xin asked: "Who do you want to be?"

"seven."

Seven times the purchasing power, this is what Pu Jiannan is extremely looking forward to.

Liang Xin: "The Song Dynasty allows me to have docks within these thirty miles, build my own markets, garrison troops...you name it."

"Three thousand."

"Just three thousand. You go and write a letter home. I want to see the official credentials. You are a good person. Next time you come to the house, the above guests will welcome you. See you off."

Liang Xin waved her hand, and Liang Zhong came over to ask Pu Jiannan to leave.

As long as there is copper, it is the current craft.

Stacked casting method, cast a hundred pieces at a time, thread them with square wooden sticks, and quickly polish the burrs.

During Shenzong's Yuanfengnian reign, he could cast 500 million pieces a year, which was 50 billion pieces.

Liang Xin and Shen Chong discussed the rolling process.

In the absence of a steam engine, the iron rollers were driven by water or manpower, which was very inefficient.And there is no way to leave a square hole in the middle, which is far inferior to the stack casting method.

Today, only the Song Dynasty can master the copper alloy ratio and stack casting method.

The Liao Kingdom minted money for many years, but today money is still the most valuable in the Song Dynasty.
