Chapter 1078 Urgent City Building
Rat San looked at Cai Boyu with surprise in his eyes, swallowed dryly and asked, "You mean that the Jurchens completely agree with our Great Song Dynasty's request?" Or even build a city on the coast, build a dock? ”
Cai Boli smiled bitterly: "But I also wonder how Wu Gu Nai agreed to these requests, some of which even I found harsh, but he Wu Gu Nai still agreed." To be honest, it even creeps me out when it goes so well! ”
"Who said no, the official family said that there must be a demon when something goes wrong! I'm afraid there are still things I don't know about in the Jurchen Wanyan Department. ”
Cai Boyu was slightly fascinated and said in a deep voice: "It seems that we still have too few people in the Jurchens, the black hands have been keeping an eye on the Liao people for so many years, but they have never inquired about the Jurchens, and now it seems that something must have happened in the Wanyan Department, which makes them urgently need the food of the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Rat San waved his hand and summoned a Yu Marquis of the Song Army, and whispered: "You immediately send someone to report to the national dynasty, and send someone to infiltrate the Liao Dynasty, and order someone who can reach out to the Jurchen in the Liao Dynasty to find it, I'm afraid there is something strange about this matter!" ”
"Subordinates obey!" The person who came was dressed in silver armor and bowed down to receive the order.
Cai Boli recognized this person, he was a personal soldier who had been following Rat San since he went to sea, it can be seen that this person is not simple, he must be a general in the black hand, Cai Boli has not managed the black hand for a long time, but he also knows the stakes in it, and the fact that Rat San has such confidence shows that the black hand does have such a person.
The soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, but this sentence did not apply in the Great Song Dynasty, intelligence is often the prelude to the war that began before the grain and grass, and only after understanding the enemy will the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty operate.
So this time is no exception, Cai Boyu wants to know the Jurchen hole cards.
Pointing at the third rat, Cai Boyu scolded with a smile: "You still came with someone with a black hand, and it really came in handy, but it is one thing for the Jurchens to need food, and it is another thing for our Great Song Dynasty to need to borrow the way." ”
"You know, don't you just want to build a city here as soon as possible? And I still have so many twists and turns? ”
Cai Boyu smiled awkwardly: "It's not that I'm guarding against you, I'm just worried that you won't second, so I'm going to provoke you, isn't it?" ”
Rat San sighed: "I also know what you mean, building a city here is the best choice, but the official family doesn't have this will, let's ......"
"Do you think the official family will make an order? If construction doesn't start at this time, when will it be completed? Do you have to wait until my army marches in?! Time is running out, since Wanyan Wugunai is now fainting, let's build the city of the Great Song Dynasty! If you wait for the Jurchens to find out, it's too late! ”
"Alright! All right! Whoever made you a transfer envoy, who made you the highest official here, I can't help it if I don't listen to you, I will not accept the military orders abroad, but I hope you are careful of the secret arrows of the court......"
"I know you're helping me, but now is the time to make a decision, and I have no other choice, not to be in cahoots with the Jurchens."
Rat San sniffed and made a snorting sound: "I will prove it to you, the official family has never doubted you, build a city!" I believe that this city will also need the Great Song Dynasty in the future. ”
Cai Boyu nodded slightly, watching the three of them walk away, he knew that he did not get the will to build a city in the Jurchens, but this city must be built, and the Great Song Dynasty needed it to be a nail planted in the Jurchens in case of change.
The espionage system of the Great Song Dynasty operated very efficiently, which was much faster than the bureaucracy in the officialdom, they were only responsible to their superiors, and after the news reached the country, they reported to the black hands of the Liao Dynasty as quickly as possible.
And naturally there are people with black hands in the Liao Dynasty who can extend their hands to the land of the Jurchens, you must know that the black hands of the Great Song Dynasty have been operating in the Liao Dynasty for many years, and they are pervasive, almost all over many places in the Liao Dynasty.
Although they don't know what is wrong with the Jurchens, as long as they spend time to find out, they will be able to know the secret sooner or later.
The news spreads quickly, but after all, it is the transmission of the news of the horse newspaper, and the fastest means of the Great Song Dynasty is also the flying pigeon to pass the book, which makes it take at least ten days, and Cai Boyu is fully capable of delaying, he has always been the best at making excuses.
When the news reached the Great Song Dynasty, Cai Boyu and Rat San were dumbfounded, firstly because the news was too shocking, and then because they were surprised by Wanyan Wugunai's ambition.
"It turns out that he needs so much food after Yan Wugunai is not because the Liao people are under too much pressure, but because he has other plans!"
"Yes! According to the news from the capital of the Liao Dynasty, the Jurchens were increased by the Liao people, and the shortage of food was true, except for the Wanyan Ministry, who were the cronies of the Liao Emperor, and he Wanyan Wugunai was the favorite of the Liao Emperor, and the Liao Dynasty did not increase the grain of the Yan Ministry. ”
Cai Boyu touched his chin: "This is strange, if there is no shortage of food in the Wanyan Department, why do you want to trade with my Great Song Dynasty, and urgently need food?" ”
"Could it be used to stock up on food and prepare for war, Wanyan has great ambitions recently, and it has the potential to unify the Jurchens."
Rat San's words coincided with Cai Boyu's thoughts, food was what the Jurchens needed most, and once the Wanyan Department, which was not short of food, obtained the grain and grass of the Great Song Dynasty, the Jurchens would be captured.
They can buy some tribes, they can conquer some tribes by force, and they can even bribe some patriarchs to make them vassals of the Wanyan tribe, but all this is inseparable from food.
The Jiaozi of the Great Song Dynasty is useless here, and it won't work, no one needs these things that are too rough to wipe their butts, only food can represent wealth, because it can make people live.
The situation of the Jurchens was completely different from that of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was not the same as that of the Liao Dynasty, which was divided by one race, the Jurchens in the south were mature Jurchens who belonged to the Liao people, while the Jurchens in the north were Jurchens, and the gap between the two was very large.
"Now we have finally found the crux of the problem, it seems that we have to beware of the Jurchens, Your Majesty once said that we must not let the Wanyan Department unify the Jurchens, they will become another disaster."
"How to be careful?"
Good question, Cai Boyu thought about it, and had a bold idea echoing in his mind: "We can limit the food of the Jurchens, and we can sell them those useless things, such as porcelain, tea, silk, and even glass, and sell them all the valuable things that are useless to the Jurchens!" ”
Rat San nodded: "This is the only way, it's not worth enough for the Jurchens to be afraid that they can't agree, don't forget that they have agreed to all conditions, but all they need is food, if we change the hexagram, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”
"Change? Who will change the hexagram? We have a lot of old grain in the Great Song Dynasty, and there is a lot of old grain in the regular closing of various state capitals, and it will only be replaced after the new grain arrives, and these replaced grains cannot be sold at a good price and can only be subsidized by the three divisions, and these old grains can be transported to the Jurchens to sell, do you know what the biggest disadvantage of these old grains is? ”
Rat San's eyes lit up: "It's not good to reserve!" After arriving at the Jurchens, it is even more difficult to store! ”
Cai Boyu proudly knocked his foot on another chair and smiled proudly: "Yes! ”
