In the first month of the eighth year of Jingkang, in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yingtianfu New City.
The Yingtianfu New City stage is now as prosperous and lively as the Yingtianfu Old City handed down from the Southern Tang Dynasty. During the Spring Festival, the people of Yingtian Mansion dressed in their best clothes and crowded in the streets. All kinds of businesses are open on both sides of the streets, selling various edible items, cultural supplies, and specialties from all over the world.
Oh, there are also Song Dynasty financial institutions that sell nothing, such as Jieku, Qiku, Jiaozipu, Changshengku, etc.!
It’s really speechless to talk about it. Although Zhao Kai, a time traveler, worked very hard to promote the financial industry of the Northern Song Dynasty, issued cloth tickets, and established several bank accounts, in order to support the credibility of cloth tickets, he still adhered to the punctuality for several years. Promises kept. Moreover, cloth tickets also maintained their credibility very well, and were gradually accepted by merchants in the Northern Song Dynasty.
But compared with the Jieku, Zhiku, Jiaozipu, Changshengku in Jinling, the ticket number in Luoyang is really not worth mentioning... After all, the current Liangjiang, Lianghuai, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong and other places , is the hot spot for the world’s economy!
Before the Xuanhe Disaster, the southeastern part of the Song Dynasty was somewhat depressed due to the Huashigang Disaster and Fangla Rebellion caused by Emperor Zhuangzong of Song Dynasty. However, with the large-scale migration of industrial and commercial people from Kaifeng, Songzhou, Xuzhou and other Central Plains commercial cities, and Zhao Huan, the "wise king", who encouraged and loosened the industrial and commercial activities in the Southeast and opened up overseas trade, the industrial and commercial activities in the Southeast have developed to Vigorous situation!
Of course, Zhao Huan did this not because he had much foresight or economic acumen, but because almost all the people in Kaifeng, Songzhou (original Yingtianfu), and Xuzhou who followed Zhao Huan south were industrial and commercial people.
After these people ran to Yingtian, they were regarded as one of their own by Zhao Huan. Especially after Zhao Huan implemented the "emphasis on civil service and abandonment of military force", he found that the scholar-bureaucrats with military power were more domineering than the original warriors, so he cherished these industrial and commercial merchants who followed from the north even more.
Not only did he support them to prevent local officials from infringing on their interests, but he also used money from the sealing warehouse to lend money to small industrial and commercial entrepreneurs to help them start their own businesses in Jinling City.
Zhao Huan's "emphasis on military force and abandonment of literature" campaign also promoted the prosperity of Jinling's industry and commerce. Because among the handicrafts who followed Zhao Huan south, some were craftsmen from the weapons supervisor.
After arriving in Jinling, Zhao Huan was worried that these people would go north to produce weapons for Zhao Kai, and he was also worried that the officials of the Ordnance Supervision would not be able to control this group of "righteous people"-Zhao Huan himself had been held hostage by these volunteers, and he knew their sharp.
So we simply gave them loans and let them open their own shops and do business. They could not only take orders from the military supervisors, but also allow them to take orders from the private sector.
With the help of Zhao Huan, by the eighth year of Jingkang, Yingtianfu New City (Jinling City) had almost absorbed most of the industry and commerce in Kaifeng, Yingtian, and Xuzhou, and even developed better than before!
If Zhao Kai, a "traveler", is going to compete with Zhao Huan on economic development capabilities... Needless to say, Zhao Kai will definitely lose in the end!
It's not because Zhao Kai's original level is too low (he's only a sophomore in high school and doesn't understand economics), but because the territory Zhao Kai occupies is inherently difficult for capital ideas.
Moreover, in order to implement the government military system, he actually confiscated a large amount of private land. If private property cannot be protected, it will be difficult for industry and commerce to develop. What's more, places like western Beijing, Shaanxi, and Hedong had inconvenient transportation before the advent of railways, making it difficult to support the vigorous development of industry and commerce.
But everyone knows that Zhao Kai will never engage in peaceful competition with Zhao Huan... If he just grabs the industrial and commercial city that Zhao Huan worked so hard to develop, wouldn't he have everything?
Although the brothers have not broken up yet, the emperor, officials, soldiers, and people here in Jinling City...even the "New Year's Envoy" Jin Fushi who came all the way from Goryeo also knew that there must be one between the two Song Dynasties. war!
What? Did Korea and the Southern Song Dynasty reconcile?
It seems not... Zhao Huan's army still occupied several Korean islands.
However, Wang Kai, the king of Goryeo, still sent a New Year mission under Wanyan Zonggou's "suggestion".
This mission quietly arrived at Jinling City, which was very lively at that time, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of the eighth year of Jingkang. But instead of entering the city via the crowded Qinhuai River Water Gate, we disembarked at the Yuejianglou Pier. Then walk through Yuejiang Gate to enter the city, and then enter the Jinling Imperial City through the corridor between Yuejiang Gate and Xuanwu Gate.
At this moment, Jin Fushi, who was wearing Goryeo imperial robes, was sitting upright in the Chongzheng Hall, and in a standard Henan accent, he was persuading the Jinling officials of the Song Dynasty in a weeping voice.
"...Today, the Central Plains world is just like the three pillars of Wei, Shu and Wu back then, but it is slightly different. The difference is that the Central Plains is not occupied by one country, but is divided between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Great Jin Dynasty. Today's Northern Song Dynasty , is equivalent to a Shu Han who has Jing Yi, and went north to regain Yong, Liang, Bing, Yu, Si and other states. If Liu Bei had such strength, could he still tolerate Sun Quan? And Sun Quan saw Liu Bei like this , will the Sun-Liu alliance be maintained?
Official, now your enemy is not me, Goryeo, nor the Jin Kingdom in the north, but the Emperor of Luoyang who occupies Yong, Liang, Bing, Yu, Si and other states! "
Zhao Huan listened to Jin Fushi's words with a wry smile on his face, and sighed: "You are right, the gold thief is no longer my enemy... but your enemy of Goryeo!"
Jin Fushi was stunned, and his preaching expression immediately fell a little.
Zhao Huan smiled bitterly and said: "I am not wrong, am I? The reason why Wang Kai sent you here is not only because of my ninth brother who considers thieves as his father, but also because he is afraid that the gold thieves will lose to the Central Plains and make up for it in Korea, right?"
He was really right!
Wang Kai of Goryeo now also smells the breath of subjugation!
It's not that the Jin man shows much malice, but that his strength is there! If the Jin people were doing well in the Central Plains, of course they would not come to Goryeo to "help the poor." But if they could not stand in the Central Plains and were driven out, they would most likely find the weak Goryeo.
Jin Fushi gritted his teeth and said, "I, Goryeo...are not that easy to bully!"
Zhao Huan shook his head: "You can't defeat the golden thieves. The golden thieves have big tubes, fried pots, and hot pots...and they have already stationed troops in Haizhou, Korea, and can capture your Xijing, Kaijing, and Nanjing at any time. Seoul)!
The biggest difference between the Three Kingdoms this time and the Three Kingdoms of Wei, Shu and Wu is that the more they fight, the stronger they become! If the gold thieves were defeated in the Central Plains and lost the lands of Hebei, Yanyun, and Jingdong, they would still have enough power to destroy Goryeo. You must prepare early! "
Prepare?
what to prepare?
Funeral arrangements?
Jin Fushi showed a desperate expression!
Goryeo is a small country, a small country that a gold thief can swallow up in one go. If hundreds of thousands of gold thieves really fled from the Central Plains to Goryeo, then Goryeo would not be a country, but a species!
How old is Gao Li? How many nobles could the poor and lower-middle peasants of Goryeo support? A few hundred thousand gold thieves, wouldn't the original two classes be completely replaced?
And this replacement will only take a few generations, and we will no longer know that there is Korea, only that there is Daijin!
Zhao Huan said: "Flee to the south... I will enclose a piece of land for you in the southern part of Koryo. Let's do this for now, and we will figure out a way later."
Judging from this, Zhao Huan does not intend to interfere in the war in the north?
"Guan family...don't you want to learn from Sun Quan?"
Zhao Huan smiled bitterly: "I know that there will be a battle between the two Song Dynasties... I also want to learn from Sun Quan, the great emperor of Wu. But I am not the Sun Quan after the Battle of Chibi, but the Sun Quan before the Battle of Chibi!
And Zhao Kai is Cao Cao, and the golden thief is Yuan Shao... Now Cao Cao is going to annex Yuan Shao's territory. Can I, Sun Quan, have the ability to expedition north to the Central Plains to help Yuan Shao? All I can do is guard Jiangdong... I will wait for Zhao Kai in Chibi! "
It has to be said that although Zhao Huanren is a coward, he is not confused yet and does not think highly of himself at all - how can he think that he is so powerful if he is a coward?
And Zhao Huan does not have the strength of Zhao Kai in the Northern Expedition... Not to mention whether he has horses, famous generals, or grains of black gunpowder, even the number of people is not enough!
Zhao Kai can pull out half a million troops!
And because most Fubing families have more than one Ding, Zhao Kai's ultimate mobilization ability is at least 700,000 to 800,000!
And Zhao Huan only has an army of 200,000, and has no additional mobilization capacity... 200,000 is smaller than 500,000. Attacking is more difficult than defending, and more troops are often needed to defeat it.
Therefore, the result of the Northern Expedition must be a disastrous defeat... Even if they succeed temporarily and capture Jiangling, they will definitely lose their troops and generals and return in defeat.
By then, Zhao Huan will have even fewer troops on hand, and it may be impossible to even defend Jiangnan.
So what we are going to fight is not a raid on Jingzhou, but a battle in Chibi!
Fighting in Chibi is different. Zhao Huan has a navy that is unparalleled in the world, a large fortress in Ezhou, and an armored army that is used to fighting in conjunction with the navy.
Moreover, people in the southeast do not support the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains—what are they going to do? You can't live a good life, but go all the way to die? Moreover, a lot of taxes have to be levied in order to die, which is really not worth the gain. But guarding the southeast against Zhao Kai is different. Zhao Kai is a robber! The landowners, profiteers, and scholar-bureaucrats in the southeast were all opposed to the division of land, so they would definitely support Zhao Huan.
This chance of winning is much greater than the blind Northern Expedition!
Maybe we can really win a victory like burning Red Cliff... If we can win a Red Cliff, Zhao Huan's Southeast World can be maintained.
Jin Fushi was a little anxious. You can be Sun Quan before the Battle of Chibi, but what about Goryeo? The country is going to perish!
"Officials, don't you plan to do anything? Are you just going to watch Zhao Kai dominate the north?" Jin Fushi asked loudly.
"Of course not..." Zhao Huan said, "I will issue an edict to abolish Zhao Kai's position as the crown prince and stop his 6 million salary! That's all I can do now. "
Okay, Zhao Kai is fired now!
And there is not even severance compensation... there is no place to reason!
