The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 193 The real money is selling water
Four thousand loads.

Cao Tan was frightened by this number.

This is 40 catties, which is equivalent to several million taels of silver.

There are also gold, copper, copper, tin, etc.

Eyes are straight.

Liang Xin asked Cao Tan: "Jurchens, with the current population base, they can't bear it. The Japanese are crazy and dare to explode in front of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the Liao people are required to go. The population of the Liao country is small. When 80 million people have passed, all the Japanese will be wiped out, and the money will still be mine in the end."

Cao Tan asked: "The Khitans have gone, how come the money is still yours?"

Liang Xin asked with a smile: "You don't understand. Gold mines were discovered somewhere, and many people went there. Some people lost their lives, and some people made a fortune. Can you understand?"

"can."

Liang Xin continued: "You know what kind of business it is, the only business that is guaranteed to make money without losing money. I mean in the gold mine."

"What is it?"

"The water seller."

Cao Tan's head was buzzing after hearing this, but if he looked carefully, Liang Xin was right.

In a gold mine, if you have gold, you may be beaten to death by your companions in the middle of the night, but only those selling water or food will definitely make money.

Liang Xin: "Navy, why do we, the Song Dynasty Navy, be the only one in the world? The Liao people have no ships, what do you think?"

"My husband is wise."

After speaking, Cao Tan asked again: "What about the Japanese?"

Liang Xin: "Go and die."

first time.

This was the first time Cao Tan heard such cold-blooded words coming from Liang Xin’s mouth. Even to the Xixia people, Liang Xin said that after taking the Xixia city, they could rob the Xixia nobles, but they should be kind and righteous, and don’t bully the poor too much. people.

And speaking of Japanese.

Liang Xin actually said just four words very directly: Go to hell.

Cao Tan didn't ask again.

It doesn't matter.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

Liang Xin hadn't finished speaking yet: "Look, when the Khitans go digging for silver, the Jurchens will be jealous, the Koreans will be jealous, and even the Xixia people and the tribes on the grassland will be jealous. I'm very fair, and I'm responsible for dividing the area. And then what? , People who dig money need food and drink, and tools. I am responsible for selling tools, food, and buying ore and so on."

"It's been a long time, and you've followed me to enjoy the hot and spicy food. Do you think they listen to me, or to the Lord Liao?"

Cao Tan replied: "I will still listen to the Lord of Liao."

Liang Xin said very firmly: "No, if all living beings are equal, the Lord of Liao will also kneel down, and they will listen to me."

Cao Tan understood.

She understood that all of this was based on the fact that Liang Xin had the equality of all living beings.

Liang Xin: "Going back to the present moment, if the several hundred acres of land outside the city of Xijin Prefecture in the Liao Kingdom create hundreds of rich people in the Liao Kingdom, do you think I have the right to speak in the Xijin Prefecture? Over there, the Liao Kingdom's Officer, will you be unable to wake up after falling asleep in the middle of the night?"

"Also, you know that when the Xixia people came to Bianjing, why didn't they mention the negotiation? Because they knew that when the soldiers pointed out, there was no opportunity for negotiation at all, and they had to wait for a truce anyway. Therefore, justice and justice Truth will make the world peaceful with singing and dancing, food and clothing will make the world peaceful, and wealth will make people lawless."

This theory absolutely confused Cao Tan.

She has also been studying since she was a child, but she has never heard such weird remarks.

Calm down and think about it.

But she couldn't find anything wrong with Liang Xin's words.

If all beings in the Ordnance Supervision are equal, if the equipment tax camp is equal to the fighting strength of the Tenth Army, then the Western Army will not have any disobedience no matter how strong it is, and the Liao Army will not dare to go south easily. No matter how crazy the Jurchens are, they will think Thinking that all living beings are equal, we must also behave respectfully.

Besides, there are many poor people in Bianjing City who do have clothes, food, and charcoal fire in winter.

The public security in Bianjing City has also improved a lot.

What about wealth?
Cao Tan himself was jealous of that silver mountain. He could dig out hundreds of thousands of catties of silver a year, and everyone seemed to be trying to steal his money.

It seems that what my husband said is very reasonable.

However, for such a huge mountain of silver, my husband didn’t take it seriously at all.This magnanimity.

I didn't choose the wrong person.

At this time, let’s talk about the Xixia people.

Weiming Xihe knew about the card game between Brother Richard and Liang Xin, and also knew that Xixia had lost hundreds of acres.

But what?

At present, Xixia has lost hundreds of acres of land, including four cities that were not even small.Countless counties and towns without cities have been lost for the time being.

At the moment, the attitude of the courtiers in the Song Dynasty is as follows.

They invited the Liao Kingdom to help negotiate, hoping to cease the war first and then get back the lost cities. However, the officials of the Song Kingdom did not give the Khitans a good look, and they were obviously not afraid of being beaten.

This matter is not easy to handle.

Therefore, losing a bet of just a few hundred acres is really not a big deal right now.

If the Song people could be given a few hundred acres, or even a few thousand acres, for their little baby, there would be no problem if the Song army could stop the war first.

How to do it?

Weiming Xihe is full of nonsense now. The new king of Xixia has ascended the throne, and there is constant internal fighting in the court.

The most terrifying thing at the moment is that Xiazhou is besieged and the Nanjun Division is in danger. Without these two places, Xixia will lose an arm.

urgent.

Western Xia.

Regarding Xixia, Chen Guan deceived Liang Xin.

He promised Liang Xin that he would meet at the next court meeting.

Well, you can't call it a lie. I will definitely write a memorial for Liang Xin at the next court meeting, but there is no promise about the content.

That night, Chen Guan added a sentence to the normal official correspondence between the Privy Council and Northwest China every day.

At this time, Zhongshidao saw this sentence.

The content of this sentence is: Xin, who wants to protect the public, is the champion, and the public thinks.

Just ten simple words.

After these days of recuperation, Zhong Shidao has recovered as before. Taking this sentence in the official document, he found Cao Ping.

Cao Ping took a look and said, "There are four sentences in my son's study."

"Commander Cao, I will ask you for advice."

Cao Ping replied: "You know, you have recited the words of the master countless times: establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry on the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations. By the way, after his concubine appraised it, , this is an authentic work."

There is a calligraphy hanging in Liang Xin's study, which is authentic.

Who wrote this.

The mentor who cultivated the way of teaching was Zhang Zai.

Cao Ping asked: "What did your master teach you?"

Master Zhong knelt down on one knee and raised his left hand: "My teacher taught me to obey the will of heaven, establish heaven, establish earth, establish people, establish sincerity, upright mind, investigate things, gain knowledge, understand reason, cultivate one's morality, organize family, govern country, and bring peace to the world."

Cao Ping asked again: "You entered the officialdom as a civil servant. I think you are no less educated than me, and you are also older than me. Let me ask you, who has been a champion?"

Zhongshidao didn't answer, he understood what he meant.

He doesn't deserve it.

Cao Ping threw out a command arrow at this time: "Lead the seven-pronged army and horses, press the troops on the salt pond, and cooperate with Zhe Keshi to draw the line."

"Take the order." Zhong Shidao took the order arrow and said: "Commander Cao, what does it mean to draw a line?"

Cao Ping pointed to the map next to him. There was a line on it: "My son drew it. The south of this line is all Song Dynasty. This is the new defense line against Xixia. Build a city for me and top it up."

"It's an order." Master Zhong replied angrily.
