Chapter 982: Song Liao's thoughts

The grain trade between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty began, and under this "lively" grain trade, it was the official meeting of Cai Boyu and Mu Xiu, and the two did not know anyone after leaving the secret passage, even when handing over the grain, they were all "competing against each other".

Although the two of them are like this, there is nothing wrong with it in the eyes of outsiders, the officials of the Liao Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty mocked each other, is it strange to make a knife in the open and in the dark?

It's just that some strange words appeared in the conversation between the two, and when no one took it seriously, Cai Boyu and Mu Xiu knew the meaning of these words, which was a code word commonly used by black hands......

The Liao Dynasty was the first to buy 100,000 stone of grain from the Great Song Dynasty, and the 100,000 stone grain was only 50,000 yuan in the Great Song Dynasty, but it was sold to the Liao Dynasty for 100,000 yuan.

There is a complete set of disaster relief system in the Great Song Dynasty, which has been inherited from the Tang Dynasty, and then improved by the kings of the Great Song Dynasty, even in the hands of Zhao Zhen, it has changed a lot, and for the current Great Song merchants, it is basically difficult to raise the price of grain very high.

First of all, the role of the regular liquidation, the local permanent closing was included in the scope of the imperial court to inspect the mill, once the spot check found that the regular liquidation is wrong, the triennial survey will be completely finished, who dares to use their political future as a bet? What's more, when it was discovered that Chang Ping was wrong, the court publicized it to the world, and what was lost was not only the opportunity for promotion, but also the reputation of being an official!

Secondly, the transportation of the Great Song Dynasty has already been developed rapidly, it originally took half a month from Lingnan to Tokyo City, but now the time has been reduced by more than half, if you are fast, galloping along the highway, it only takes five or six days to arrive.

Tokyo City has long become the grain transit station of the Great Song Dynasty, when Zhao Zhen took Yanyun, he suddenly found that the location of Tokyo City is in the northern middle of the Great Song Dynasty, this location can be described as the world's transportation hub, and there is the convenience of the Cao Yun train, as a transportation transfer station is suitable.

What needs a lot of shipping? Food, of course! Thanks to the trains, the city of Tokyo has become a veritable granary of the world.

Among the four capitals, Tokyo City is the capital second only to Beijing City, and there is a train connection between other capitals, isn't it a natural transit station? So Zhao Zhen set up a transport supervision in the city of Tokyo, and set up a transport envoy Liu Han to be responsible for the actual dispatch, and the other transport envoys were responsible for all the way, while Liu Han, the transport envoy, was only responsible for the transfer and had no other dispatches.

Liu Han happily took office, he thought that his treatment was as high as that of the transshipment envoy, and the transfer of grain and grass was a huge fat difference, who would have thought that he would regret it if he did not take office, and he only knew after arriving in Tokyo City, it turned out that the daily transportation of grain in Tokyo City was more than a huge million!

Liu Han is busy every day without touching the ground, and he doesn't dare to slack off in the account check, once he is out of the basket, there will be a reprimand in Beijing City, which makes him frightened, and other transfer envoys are infinitely beautiful, even Cai Boyu's Beijing Road transfer envoy is stronger than him!

It's just that he was wrong, the transfer envoy in Tokyo City is just busy, tired, and cautious, but Cai Boyu, the transfer envoy, is really walking on the tip of the knife.

He wanted to personally send Zhang Mao away, and the grain of 100,000 stone would be transported by the Great Song Dynasty, but except for the horseman official Cao, there was not a single soldier to escort him, and the Liao people would never allow a single soldier of the Great Song Dynasty to enter the territory of the Great Liao.

So Zhang Mao led a team of more than 100 people to drive the carriage to the "important task" of the Liao Dynasty.

Before leaving, Cai Boyu repeatedly explained that as long as he kept his own safety, he would never be in danger of his life, and at the same time explained to everyone who accompanied him, don't make a noise, only do your duty, if the Liao people make things difficult, they will deal with it as an envoy of a country.

Cai Boyu's words surprised Zhang Mao, these people are just horsemen, even if they are Sima in the army, they can't make themselves ministers, right?

But Cai Boyu ignored his surprise, obviously there was something else hidden in this.

Cai Boxi didn't say anything, and Zhang Mao didn't ask, but before leaving, Cai Boxi grabbed Zhang Mao and said: "This time you go to the Liao Dynasty, the Liao people will naturally put their minds on you, be cautious!" ”

Zhang Mao glanced at Cai Boxi, and his keen intuition had already discovered the strangeness: "No matter what I do, it's for the Great Song Dynasty, if I can't come back......

"The official family naturally takes care of ...... Your family and heirs will be taken care of by the imperial court, and if something happens, the official will not sit idly by! ”

Zhang Mao looked at Cai Boxi's eyes, nodded slightly, and said, "Then I can rest assured that I can go on the road, Cai Concubine, take care!" ”

Cai Boxi nodded slightly: "Take care!" ”

Zhang Mao arched his hand and turned away in a dashing manner, and with his departure, the grain carriage of the Great Song Dynasty also slowly advanced, and the long convoy and the escorted forbidden army formed a long dragon and slowly left Jingzhou City.

The Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty have already been better, in order to prevent people from being arrested and moved on the grain and grass, the two sides sent troops to escort, the Great Song Forbidden Army was responsible for escorting the grain transport team to the Song-Liao border, and the Liao people were waiting at the border to take over the escort, which was to avoid responsibility to the greatest extent......

If the grain and grass were hijacked or burned in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty would be solely responsible, and on the contrary, if an accident occurred in the Liao Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty would be responsible.

These grains are the life-saving food of the Liao Dynasty, the Liao people naturally dare not have a trace of slackness, Mu Xiu is the money and grain envoy is naturally the final handover, the Liao people are to buy grain, and the payment is the premise of the transaction.

100,000 copper coins are dragged out of the treasury of Da Liao, saying more, that is, a dime, saying less, can not stand the future to continue to buy, 100,000 stone of grain is a drop in the bucket compared to the entire Da Liao, which is not enough for the entire Da Liao people to consume a day.

A plague is a plague not because of how many people died when it happened, but how many people died after it.

Population has always been a matter of dynastic foundation, taxes, labor, and output...... And so on, to maintain an empire, all the things needed must be provided by the people.

No dynasty would ignore its own population, not the Great Song Dynasty, let alone the Liao Dynasty, in Mu Xiu's opinion, even if it was to use these grains to recruit Ding Zhuang, the Liao Dynasty could not completely abandon the people.

After all, the Liao Dynasty is also regarded as the Zhengshuo Dynasty, and it also claims to be the continuation of orthodoxy, how can the people be allowed to fend for themselves? Disaster relief is certainly available, but it will take a long time......

After these grains were transported to the Liao Dynasty, they must be the first to relieve the nobles in the capital, and then distribute them to the army, which is the consistent behavior of the Liao people, the more critical the juncture, the more we must control the army, as long as we have military power, what civil rebellion can not be suppressed?

As long as you have military power, you can't go anywhere!
