Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1135 Dialogue
Shangyang Palace by Xuanwu Lake

Zhu Lian was sitting on a high-backed soft chair, sipping the wine in the emerald glass gracefully, calmly, appearing to be at ease.

The blade of time did not leave too many scars on her face, she was still so beautiful, and she looked more noble and holy.

Wang Xiu sat quietly by the side, looking a little tired, not saying a word, as if enjoying the tranquility quietly.

Zhu Lian looked at Wang Xiu resentfully, from the increasingly thin face, he could feel the anxiety after being haggard.However, she has gotten used to Wang Xiu's calmness, she is no longer young, and many things need to be worked together, and romance has become secondary instead.

However, ever since Wang Xiu returned to Xingzai, she had a faint feeling of alienation. When the two were alone, the passion of the past disappeared. ?

"Officer, you still have to let go of some things, don't let yourself work too hard."

"Time doesn't wait for me, just seize the day and night." Wang Xiu glanced at Zhu Lian, deep in her eyelids was sentimental, and there was even a trace of tenderness, but it was cleverly hidden.

"What's the matter?" Zhu Lianxiu frowned slightly, knowing Wang Xiu's troubles.

"Everything is done step by step. Oh, last year's treasury revenue was converted into [-] million guan. If the difference remains the same, it will increase by [-] million guan this year."

"Three Buddhas have been pacified, what will happen to the Japanese?" Zhu Lian's eyes were soft, she missed the prosperity of her family and the country, and Wang Xiu was less tired.

"The South China Sea is still developing, and the Twelve Military States are the Twelve Military States. I think they have put their minds into planning the land. As long as they can survive it, it will be no big deal." Wang Xiu pondered for a while, and then said: "As for the Japanese , I think the third child of the Wu family is also considered a talent, and he will definitely be able to win the Ping and Yuan families to the applause."

"Brother of the Wu family, can he do it?" Zhu Lian couldn't help being a little puzzled. Wang Xiu had such a high opinion of Wu Xuan that she couldn't believe it. That guy's reputation was not very good.

Wang Xiu shook her head. People can be changed. What the Wa country lacks are fine wares and goods, and what it lacks are gold and silver mines.As long as Wu Xuan comes up with dry goods, I believe he can deal with the public office, Pingshi and Genji.

The key is that this kid's mouth has also been practiced. With his three-inch tongue, strong material and military support, he will definitely become a figure valued by the forces of all factions. As long as he is not brainless, he can get things done it is good.

He understands that during this period, the internal struggles of the Wa Kingdom intensified, and as long as Wu Xuan gained a firm foothold, the sea ships of the Song Dynasty would follow, and the control would continue to deepen.

There is reason to believe that a large amount of gold and silver flowed into the imperial court by playing with the small island, coupled with the development of large-scale gold mines in the South China Sea, it supported the issuance of treasure banknotes to the maximum extent, and completed the primitive accumulation of capital without squeezing domestic value. , On the contrary, it can promote the reproduction of Chinese people and let more people go out.

"You can do whatever you say. It's just that you have to be cautious when trying out the treasure banknotes. You have to come up with a way."

Wang Xiu frowned slightly, and was also a little worried. What he wanted was the gold standard monetary policy, but the start was not smooth. The weak support of the treasure banknotes and the strength of Jiaozi made everything confusing.

However, copper coins are indeed unbearable for the rapid economic development, and Jiaozi is inherently deficient. The promotion of treasure banknotes is imperative. No matter how he solves the immediate crisis, he will have to wait until the treasury has enough accumulation before gradually realizing the currency with gold and silver as its root. Institutions, the South China Sea and Japan are the key to transition, and development is the long-term guarantee.

Looting, of course, can quickly accumulate wealth and complete primitive accumulation, but if there is no industry and commerce that can digest and generate an industrial chain, no matter how much wealth there is, it will slowly be lost.

At this time, he was thinking about the authenticity of gold and silver, but not extreme desire. He focused on copper mines, rubber, and those economic minerals, as well as oil for future considerations, all of which were indispensable for development.

At present, there are still the most important issues, that is, the two-bank law promotes the development of agriculture and mulberry, encourages technology to transform the development of industry and commerce, reverses the deformed economy little by little, brings the Song Dynasty back on track, pays equal attention to industry, industry and agriculture, quickly absorbs overseas wealth, and achieves prosperity. The purpose of enriching the people.

After overcoming the difficulties first, he took a deep breath and said lightly: "I already have an idea, but it's not mature yet."

"Then tell me." Zhu Lian raised her eyebrows and looked at Wang Xiu with interest.

Wang Xiu shook her head and said with a playful smile, "Don't say it, don't say it."

"I know it's a secret, I don't talk about it, I don't want to ask." Zhu Lian rolled his eyes at Wang Xiu, and seemed to think of something, and said: "The overseas military states have expanded a lot, but is there any good way to control it?"

Wang Xiu had considered this issue a long time ago, and he also hesitated to establish the Twelve Military States. The main reason is that the current means of communication and transportation cannot be effectively controlled. Although he has the idea of ​​a vassal state, he has to consider a vassal state.

Sometimes, compared with those vassal states, although the imperial court cannot control the vassal states, they can reach the level of mutual aid. The vassal states have greater centripetal force and greater ambitions for China, and the imperial court needs to be more cautious.

However, at this stage, it is still internal affairs to consider. Only a strong family and country can take care of the world. Immediately said: "The two governments should also adjust."

"There will be no Northern Expedition in a while, and you still need to make such a big adjustment?" Zhu Lian was a little puzzled. The current imperial court is very stable, and there is no need for adjustments at all.

"There are too many monks but not enough meat, and the local government is going to merge with the yamen, so a new batch of people is needed."

With the victory of the Northwest War, the call for the Northern Expedition became louder and louder, and the court entered the final preparations.However, during the period, it is necessary to accumulate steadily, transform technological advantages into development advantages, break through bottlenecks and achieve qualitative changes, and the time must be grasped.

"It's up to you. I think the official family is much more stable. Shouldn't it be more burdensome?" Zhu Lian's tone was a little cautious.

Wang Xiu smiled. He could hear the heart of a loving mother. He was unwilling to let his son become mediocre, but he had a different view. He said humorously, "Do you know what Emperor Renzong of the Zhao family is capable of?"

"Oh." Zhu Lian was a little distracted, and couldn't help saying: "Of course I know, I don't know anything, I can only be an official."

"That's right, you know my brother. At best, he is a Chinese-funded monarch. Do you think it is a good thing to monopolize power? Even if there is a British monarch, can you guarantee that there will be no mediocrity?" Wang Xiu stared into Zhu Lian's eyes, calmly Authentic: "Lady, wouldn't it be good to let the officials of the past dynasties only be officials."

Sad eyes flashed by, and Zhu Lian said bitterly: "What you said is also reasonable, and the scholars are also very supportive, but the officials have been wronged."

"I'm not wronged at all." Wang Xiu shook her head and said regretfully: "Back then, if he could persevere and not give up on Zhang Qiyuan, he might still be able to make a difference. A monarch who has no responsibility will never succeed."
