"In order to develop internal affairs, the Wu Dynasty could form an alliance with us a year ago. In order to protect this result a year later, the Wu Dynasty will definitely sweep everything!"
"Quick victory mode, Wu Dynasty did not play it before because Wu Dynasty could not afford it financially. A quick victory, while establishing a great reputation, was followed by a wound period of three to five years. But this year, Wu Dynasty How much stronger our foundation has become, next year, and the year after, as long as we develop, wounds can be turned into opportunities, just like we did back then!"
Liu Tao slowly elaborated on his theory.
All of this is based on my own experience and is based on the past.
"In this case, if we still help him, aren't we afraid that after the Wu Dynasty completes its internal affairs, it will directly break the alliance and take action against us?"
The main reason why the Central Plains countries adopted the strategy of defending against Wu Dynasty instead of rejecting it was that Wu Dynasty was not strong in its internal affairs.
If Wu Chao as a whole is compared to a martial arts master, then Wu Chao is a heavy weapon player who can defeat ten martial arts with one force. He can sweep everything with three axes. But as long as he can catch these three axes, he will just walk his dog and lose time. The longer it lasts, the more serious the internal injuries Wu Chao will suffer.
It's a pity that Song Dynasty is obviously not the player who can resist those three axes.
Even if the Ming Dynasty goes to resist and the three axes come down, it will basically be abolished.
But once the internal skill "Internal Affairs" is well cultivated, Wu Chao's ability to play is not three axes, but four axes, five axes... until the person is hammered to death.
"Do you still care about the little output in the fields?" Liu Tao asked without answering.
As soon as the words fell, a burst of laughter came out of the yamen.
yes!
How much food can be dug in the ground?
If it weren't for the policy that stipulated the minimum output value for each county and used it as the standard for local officials to be promoted, the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River would have long been turned into mulberry fields, farmers moved into the cities, and women and children moved into silk textile mills.
There was so much rice in Jiaozhou that every merchant ship returning from Nanyang would carry thousands of kilograms of rice, which was too much to eat.
If God hadn't been blind and the Huaihe River region had been in drought for three consecutive years, there would have been no widespread famine in the Ming Dynasty.
It can be said that as long as shipping was prosperous, the Ming Dynasty was the dynasty in Kyushu that was least worried about rebellion due to hunger.
"The upper limit of the Wu Dynasty is where it is. Don't look at the prosperous futures market, but the limit of land transportation is also there. He will bring a hundred carts of mutton, and I will bring a cart of spices. I will make everything back. The same big box Eating jewelry is enough to keep you in the futures market for half a year!"
"Even if you add the medicinal materials on the grassland, Dongzhu, how much is this?"
Liu Tao waved his hand casually, "I hope you are worried about backlash. I hope to support the Wu Dynasty in practicing internal affairs. You must know that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. When we recruit troops, we all know that we have to go to poor places. Why?"
"Because you are extremely poor!"
Liu Tao raised a finger, "If you can fight, your life will be saved!"
Bang bang bang...
There was a burst of applause, and the British Duke stood up and said while applauding, "Well said, let's sort out the content. If His Majesty approves, we will do what we do!"
After listening to Liu Tao's words, he supported the military equipment sent to the Wu Dynasty, but he would not touch a grain of rice in the military equipment without an imperial edict.
"I have already written the relevant analysis into a memorial, leaving only the last bit of polish!"
"I'll stamp it after you finish writing it!"
"Report!"
Seeing that the boss lost interest and was about to leave, Lu Tao, who was kneeling aside and his legs were going numb, spoke again.
"Get up and speak!"
No one thought that this Jinyiwei Baihu had information to tell. The British prince said with a smile, "Give him a stool, don't kneel down!"
Liu Tao's analysis attracted everyone, but it really caused this hundred households to suffer a lot.
"No need for a humble position!"
Lu Tao stood up straight, his sweaty face slightly pale, "According to the information we obtained from within the Imperial City Department, the Wu Dynasty intends to issue national bonds to replenish military supplies. At the same time, Xia Dachuan's whereabouts are unknown and he has not appeared at home for many days. It is possible for the Ministry of Yamen to go to the North to discuss with Zhang Gaodong, our great scholar!"
"National debt?"
The British public does not understand. Debt can be understood as debt, but national debt, is it national debt? How can this thing be issued?
"Let me explain!"
Liu Tao, who had already stretched his feet out of the threshold, turned around and said, "Last December, there was a big gathering inside our court. Representatives of clans and powerful people from all over the country participated. The three closed doors were closed, and the empress held a banquet in Dongyuan for a night. What was discussed specifically? We don’t know yet, but since then, the Wu Dynasty has done two things this year, one is to provide work for relief, which is said to be relief, we already know about this, and the second is a bank!"
"The national debt is the responsibility of the banks. Different from the banks of our dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the banks of the Wu Dynasty proposed the development direction of beneficial savings and paid loans, which has now been started in the territory of the Wu Dynasty!"
"I understand that the loan is paid, but the savings are beneficial. Is Wu Chao doing charity?"
"It's beneficial, which means the bank gives you money. Are you crazy?"
"What? Do they allow us to deposit money?"
A group of generals immediately exploded. When did they save money and return it?
The British Duke pressed down the noisy county office and looked at Liu Tao solemnly, "Can you analyze this?"
"No, because no one cares, I don't think Jinyiwei didn't do any internal investigation, right?" Liu Tao looked at Jinyiwei Baihu.
"Back to my lords, Jin Yiwei has tried to test the bank. The half-year deposit is due in September, and the money and corresponding interest have been obtained. To find out more details, we have deposited 30,000 taels in banks across the Wu Dynasty. As for why and how We don’t know for what purpose, but we can be sure that the Documents Department is responsible for an extremely critical part of it!”
"Treasury bonds are a beneficial derivative of savings. Unlike time deposits, which are redeemed by a single bank, treasury bonds are issued uniformly by the Ministry of Accounts, and then sold by local banks. When the term is up, the Ministry of Accounts will return them. However, as far as I know, 95% of military people do not I don’t know this, I need more intelligence support!”
Liu Tao is very smart, but he cannot overcome the version gap or break the information barrier.
“Pay attention to this in advance!”
It is said that it is concerned, but in fact it is put aside. His British father is responsible for fighting wars, not domestic affairs.
…
"Your Majesty, the flying eagle delivers the message!"
Lao Pu walked into Fengluan Hall holding a bamboo tube.
"Bring it!"
The woman stretched out her hand, put the bamboo slips aside, and continued to browse through the things she had not finished reading.
She was already irritable when the day came, and people from Song Dynasty also made trouble for her. If possible, she really didn't want to deal with the official business in front of her.
"It's about equations!" Lao Pu whispered.
"oh!"
The memorial flew away and the bamboo slips were opened. The empress read the contents with great interest and said, "You brat, you did some crooked things for me. I wonder if you take too many shortcuts, will you fall into a trap sooner or later?"
"but……"
A black cat or a white cat, if it catches mice, it is a good cat. There is some truth in this.
"Send it to Huang Yi, let him organize people to perfect it, and then execute it!"
Without money, there is no confidence. Even without the two-cat theory, whichever of the two evils is the lesser, the Wu Dynasty would still use equations to come up with this set of strategies.
