Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1680 The Future
After many years of hard work in state affairs, Wang Xiu's head is full of white hair and his complexion is vicissitudes of life. The only thing that makes him satisfied is that his family and country are thriving.

Today is definitely a day worthy of celebration. It is definitely a remarkable thing that the official abolition of gold and copper coins, and the full circulation of the imperial song banknotes backed by gold and silver, means that copper coins have been completely banned. Gold and silver exist as precious metal currencies to support the circulation of banknotes.

At this time, great changes have taken place in the court situation. Li Guang is sick and guarding the palace. Zhao Ding has long been impeached and sent to the northern military state to play his spare heat. The old man is still very capable.

Li Gang and Fan Zongyin died of illness one after another, and they were replaced by a new political force, the backbone of the Wangmen Academy, and those former students began to step into the top ranks.

Mo Mo is still in charge of Tong Zhongshu's sect, while Cai Yi is the Privy Council official, Zhong Lirui is Tong Zhongshu's sect, Zong Liang and Shi Hao are the two counselors, and Yu Yunwen is co-signing the Privy Council. A collection of royal forces.

However, Fei Su served as a political adviser for three years, and was soon released as a transit envoy for the Nanyue Road Metropolis and also as an envoy for the economic strategy and appeasement system. He made a huge contribution to stabilizing the land bridge area. powerful people.

Among other princes, Liu Renfeng resolutely gave up his official rank and returned to Fenghuangshan Academy to become the head of the mountain. Li Changsheng became the commander of the front of the palace.

Feng Yuan was naturally high-spirited. He had just stepped down from the Privy Deputy Capital last year to join the army, and took up the command of the Western Guards. He was about to make contributions.It goes without saying that Jing Bo is the commander of the Deputy Capital of the Western Guard, and the team that matches Feng Yuan can see the intention of the imperial court and is about to show great plans for the Western Regions.

Bo Zhang even went on two voyages, one to Dashi and one to Nanzhou. He was named a doctor of Taizhong by the imperial court, and this one happened to follow Wang Xiu's side.

Qin Min is also successful and famous, but he doesn't like the officialdom he is in very much. He is only appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War, but he controls the two major agencies of the Machine Speed ​​Division and the Staff Division. .

Gao Kan was also exhausted, and during this period he was sent overseas to military states for six years. He finally returned to the imperial court and became a doctor.

Qiu Yun is quite at ease, serving as the commander of the Yunqi Army, concurrently serving as the commander of the [-]th battalion, and also holding the post of patrol inspector in the border cities of Hebei and Liaodong.

However, Qin Hui and Li Guang also came to the meeting. It is true that they left the two prefectures, but they also have the officials of Kaifu Yitong and the third division. Shows more respect for veterans.

"Wenshi, it's been more than [-] years. I think money and banknotes are very good. Is it necessary to change?" Qin Hui has been out of the military state for a few years since he was dismissed. After returning, he took the initiative to cooperate with Wang Xiu. However, he is not too optimistic about Huangsong Baochao. Too many counterfeiters have been killed in these years, and there may be twists and turns in the full implementation.

Wang Xiu has always attached great importance to Qin Hui's economic suggestions. It would be a big joke if the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty managed to manage his finances, but he wanted to listen to more people's opinions. He turned to look at Shen Mo and Fei Su, and said indifferently : "What do you think?"

Shen Mo frowned, and said with a smile: "Brother Hui, you are worrying too much. You have gold and silver as reserves, so don't worry too much."

"That piece of paper is too easy to forge." Qin Hui shook his head and sighed.

"Lord Qin is too worried. Even gold and silver can be made at a price, not to mention precious banknotes. The research and development of Zhongshan Academy is continuing, and the latest anti-counterfeiting of precious banknotes will be released soon." Shen Mo laughed disapprovingly.

"The development of Zhongshan Academy is almost done. It is indeed very difficult to forge it. Master Qin, don't worry." Fei Su helped out at the right time.

"Nowadays, the world's currency system is popular, but we have to consider the connection between the local and overseas, and the overall situation is in turmoil if we are not careful." Qin Hui said leisurely.

"Master Qin is very right. Although the promotion of precious banknotes in the world has suffered more fluctuations than copper coins, it will take a short time to truly achieve stability. Gold and silver still need to be used as a guarantee. We must not let the latecomers do anything wrong." Fei Su I quite agree with Qin Hui's point of view, the elder minister seeks the country, this is the words of the elders!
Wang Xiu nodded slowly, there are many ghosts and monsters, and they don't want to make profits all the time, not to mention the current economic development, which is based on the plunder of overseas minerals.

Although this kind of primitive capital power is absolutely necessary, it is also very unstable and has the characteristics of being very weak. It is necessary to transform wealth into business and industry in order to establish a stable productivity and continue to develop the country.

The important thing is that Fei Su cryptically pointed out that if their generation can be rational, will they be eager for quick success if they are replaced by the rulers of later generations?There is no absolutely perfect system in the world, all he can do is to keep improving.

Qin Hui stroked his beard and nodded. He was just raising his own concerns. The specific decision was still made by the two governments. It would be too much to say, and it would arouse the disgust of the current ruling party.

Wang Xiu smiled appreciatively at Fei Su, and it was a big concern to be able to run the treasure banknotes thoroughly.

"Now that the world is in peace, I can drink from the sweet spring even when I am old." Li Guang didn't want to join in at first, but seeing that everyone had set the tone, he said it along with the trend.

"Your Excellency wants to drink from the sweet spring, but you might as well share the country's worries. The world is peaceful, and difficult things are more difficult to straighten out. The court is determined to make progress, and all veterans have to make suggestions." Wang Xiufeng smiled lightly. , This is his cleverness, unite all forces that can be united, don't underestimate anyone, everyone has their own value.

Veterans represent a certain political force, or even a whole class, who can make them cooperate with policies and virtually reduce a lot of resistance.

Back then, he completely separated politics and economy, and clarified the boundaries between the so-called political elite and business elite. He also won the support of veterans. He uprooted Zhao Ding, who represented Jiangyou's business forces, and made him pay more attention to working together.

Similarly, Wang Xiu's moderate policy has made many forces feel comfortable, at least allowing them to participate in the discussion of state affairs and safeguard their vested interests. Veteran ministers can also satisfy their desire for power from respect. After all, everyone has been brilliant in the past.

"Precious banknotes can quickly accumulate wealth. The next goal of the imperial court is to stabilize the South China Sea. The colonization must be accelerated, and the affairs of the Western Regions should also be promoted." Wang Xiu briefly talked about the next step of the policy. , I told the important officials of the two governments, and I used a book to plan the policy of the court.

At that time, after more than a month of debate, it was revised into a book after comprehensive opinions, which provided a theoretical basis for the internal affairs and diplomacy of the Song dynasty. , to carry out a step-by-step conquest against the outside world to maintain the vitality of the dynasty.

The goal within 50 years is to digest and absorb the achievements of the South China Sea, to appease the surrounding countries, to implement cultural subtly, to colonize a large number, to assimilate the aborigines who have to be retained, and to immigrate and aboriginal population The minimum reserved ratio is seven to one.

The north still maintains the status quo, and implements a policy of encroachment, occupying as many pastures as possible, and setting up military fortresses outside the pass to ensure the suppression of all ethnic groups.

The Western Regions must be conquered when entering the imperial court. According to Wang Xiu's plan, not only the conquest of the regime must be carried out, but also cultural changes should be carried out, completely eradicate the influence of Communist culture, and bring Taoist culture to the past. Religion, the soldiers of the Western Guards are sharpening their swords.

It can be said that the north and the south have entered a dormant period, and the west has become an era of forging ahead. The three directions are constantly adjusted according to current events.

Dali is also in a state of ups and downs. For the Song dynasty, this country loses its need for existence. Once a small country has no use value, its fate can only be determined by the heavenly kingdom.

The imperial court assembled a [-]-strong army to stand ready to fight. Whether the Dali royal family is dying or willing to attach itself depends on the ability of the other party.

Regarding overseas affairs, the imperial court dismissed the Prime Minister's office for the affairs of various countries in the South China Sea, and set up two major functions of holding festivals to comfort the South China Sea and the East China Sea, which were jointly managed by the Privy Council and the Ministry of Rites.

Of course, where there is oppression, there is resistance. The imperial court’s delay in overseas expansion is not non-expansion, but limited to resistance in some places, which must be fully digested before the next round of expansion can proceed.

During the expedition just ten years ago, Zhang Guo led the army, which was full of blood. The Mayi Kingdom collapsed at a touch, killing hundreds of thousands, and the natives of the island were almost wiped out. There were not many members of the royal family left, and the remnants could only flee to the deserted islands in the south , in order to survive.

According to Wang Xiu's plan, after more than a hundred years, the Great Song Dynasty will become a global empire. Even if it is inevitable to decline and split in the future, the seeds of revival will be planted.

Zhong Lirui, who didn't speak, heard Wang Xiu start the side matter, and said naturally: "What your lord said is that Lao Duan and Fifth Brother have been waiting impatiently for a long time."

"I'm not worried about the Western Regions. The remnants of the Khitan are just grasshoppers after autumn. They won't be able to jump for a few days. The conquest of people's hearts and beliefs is the real conquest." Wang Xiuyu said earnestly.

"What Wen Shi said is very reasonable. I think those South China Sea guards should be restrained." Li Guang expressed his thoughts at the right time. He had long believed that overseas guards must be restrained, and the establishment of rules would become inevitable, otherwise it would be true. It's going to be lawless.

Wang Xiu also agreed, and even Zhong Lirui felt that what Li Guang said was right. In order to develop the domestic economy, a large amount of gold, silver and other minerals were needed, and the war bonds of those merchants had to be returned. As long as the general outline and width and subsections are not excessive, just turn a blind eye and close your eyes.

In recent years, the bonds have basically been repaid, and everything is on the right track. The South China Sea has begun to digest and absorb.

It's a pity that the guards are not satisfied with living overseas for a long time. Most of them want to complete the tax contribution of the court, make a fortune by themselves, and strive to return to China to enjoy the wealth as soon as possible. No one wants to leave the prosperous city for too long. Therefore, their methods against some tribes in small countries are more severe, and the resistance has something to do with it.

"My lord, what Li lord said is that those thieves should be taken care of. If they don't play tricks, there may be a big mess." Zhong Lirui said plainly.

"Treat with caution, don't be too hasty. I will play to the emperor, compile the laws and regulations of the overseas guards, and then slowly map them out." Wang Xiu said cautiously. There are no small things overseas, so we must not be too hasty. Control not only formed a two-sided attack on Chenla, but also strengthened overseas control.

"It's still safe and appropriate." Li Guang nodded.

"Brother Six, you just came back. How did you see the South China Sea? Tell everyone." Wang Xiu turned to look at Bo Zhang who was silent, with a particularly kind expression on his face.

Bo Zhang didn't expect Wang Xiu to ask him, so he said hastily: "There is nothing wrong, but Shi Zimu said that he would go back to the court to see His Majesty."

Shi Yong?Wang Xiu was lost in thought. The name was almost forgotten. The little guy who retired sadly back then finally went south with an important mission and brought thousands of refugees to create a future. He might be buried in a foreign land at any time, but he didn't expect to come to this point.

He pondered for a while, and said in a gentle voice: "It's been so many years, I should come back and have a look, but I don't know if I can go back and forth for several years."

"Well, sir, don't worry, Shi Zimu's two elder brothers are already worthy of great responsibilities, and his return is not a big problem." Bo Zhang sailed to Nanzhou, and it should be Nanzhou now, Shi Yong is amazing Well, although the population development is only tens of thousands, he has the means to control the local natives. To put it bluntly, he already has the embryonic form of a country, and the only thing left is the canonization by the imperial court, or the declaration of a separatist regime.

"Alright, it's best to come, at least we can meet each other in this life." Wang Xiu gave Shi Yong a wide space, even indulged in the establishment and let it go, but he still felt guilty. For scholars, they would never I would like to leave my hometown and bury my bones in a foreign country.

When Shi Yong came back, maybe he wanted to see his hometown again, maybe he wanted to stay, no matter what his thoughts were, he decided to treat them with respect.

"It's human nature for these overseas ministers to return to their roots." Li Guangfu sighed.

"The oceans and territories are unpredictable. No one wants to bury their bones in a foreign land. Time is running out. The South China Sea can come to an end. The Western Regions and Tubo issues must be resolved." Wang Xiu's tone was full of urgency.

"Wen Shi, expel the remnants of Khitan, age is not forgiving, you should not come to Fengsha again." Qin Hui kindly reminded.

"Hehe, that's for young people." Naturally, Wang Xiu won't go out to war, and she can't do everything without giving young people room to play.

"Brother Fifteen can do a lot!" Qin Hui looked at Wang Xiu with a smile on his face.

Wang Bo had already been ranked first in high school as a Jinshi. He had practiced in the central and local governments for six years, and was sent by the Ministry of Officials to go to Shazhou as a general judge.

Wang Xiu placed high hopes on this eldest son, hoping to make contributions and inherit his unfinished business, but that was another story.

"Brother Fifteen is young and mature, so he must have made a lot of achievements." Fei Su said with a faint smile.

"I hope they can grow up!" Wang Xiu smiled gratifiedly, with a firm heart in her vicissitudes of life, full of confidence in the future.
