Chapter 498: Cai Boyu and the Taliban
It may seem difficult to start a war, but in fact it is also the simplest thing, all difficulties in the face of interests will be overcome, all obstacles will become useless, and the Holy Roman Empire still has an overwhelming advantage over the Abbasid dynasty.
What is the easiest wealth to earn? Of course, it was war money, and Zhao Zhen was waiting for the Liao Dynasty and Western Xia to fight against each other from beginning to end, but the war was delayed, and Zhao Zhen's preparations were in vain......
Since the surrounding war is not easy to make money, then earn from afar, such as letting the Abbasid dynasty fall into the quagmire of war, once the Roman Empire and Abbas go to war, no matter which side wins or loses, the winner will always be the Great Song Dynasty, this is Zhao Zhen's plan.
Wealth is so important to a country, only with money can we raise soldiers, with money we can train soldiers, with money we can set up education, and with money we can recover lost land!
The closer he got to the third military exercise, the more nervous Zhao Zhen became, otherwise he would not have canonized the Holy Duke of Kong Jiayan when the New Year was approaching, and he would not have gone to Cai Boyu's Horse Mansion to relax.
Zhao Zhen didn't plan to divide the Kong family, but in order to stabilize the country when he drove the expedition, he had to do it as a last resort, which is why Zhao Zhen wanted to cut off the Confucian family's way to enter the office, this is the fastest way to stabilize the Kong family, internal stability is often more important than external stability, the old Zhao family's bloodline has a rebellious character, otherwise there will be no Chen Qiao mutiny, the same old Zhao family's bloodline also has a suspicious character, otherwise there will be no glass of wine to release the military power!
Once Zhao Zhen drove the expedition, it was necessary to have a stable rear, and during this time, Zhao Zhen continued to eliminate the hidden dangers in the country, so that the country was still stable after he left the Great Song Dynasty.
The rich and discerning people after the Abbasid Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty can see it, especially in several countries closer to the Abbasid Dynasty, Zhao Zhen did not instigate what Austen said, but the whole process was constantly seducing Austin.
"I really want to trade with your Roman Empire, after all, the goods of the Great Song Dynasty are very popular in the Roman Empire, but the high taxes in Abbas are high, and the high taxes will naturally increase the price of goods, otherwise how can I recover the cost? You buy goods from the Abbasid merchants, and the price will naturally ......"
"The Romans will definitely find a port to the Great Song Dynasty to connect the trade between the two countries!"
Zhao Zhen's words can be regarded as talking about Austin's heart, the price of the goods of the Abbas merchants is too expensive, otherwise His Majesty the Emperor would not send himself to the Great Song Dynasty to trade, but if he can get advanced technology from the Great Song Dynasty, it would be better, since he can't get it from the Great Song Emperor, then he will find a way to get it from the merchants, in Austin's opinion, there is nothing that the merchant can't buy and sell, everything has his value......
Austin also had his own calculations, but he didn't know that the technologies he hoped to obtain in the Great Song Dynasty were all heirlooms of merchants, and living was his own job, selling these things handed down from his ancestors to foreigners? That's what it takes to get your eggs!
No businessman would do it, and he would not dare to do it, and if he did, he would become the enemy of all his peers.
It wasn't until Austin bowed down and retreated that Cai Boli turned his head to look at Zhao Zhen and said, "Official, are you planning to take advantage of the contradiction between Europa and Ambas?" ”
It is normal for Cai Boyu to see his motives, and Zhao Zhen said it in front of him, and some of the content is already very explicit instigation.
"Yes! This period of Abbas is very unfriendly to my Great Song Dynasty, not only raised the business tax of my Song merchants, but also humiliated them as much as possible, I don't want my Great Song Merchants to be bullied outside, even if someone wants to bully them, it should be me! ”
Sighing slightly, Zhao Zhen spoke again: "But the Great Song Dynasty is only thousands of miles away from Abbas, and it is not easy to dispatch troops, and I have no good way, at most, let the merchants sell goods to the countries adjacent to Abbas to fight Abbas, but this is not a long-term solution."
Now that the envoys of Europa are here, they are eager to trade with the Great Song Dynasty, isn't this an opportunity for my Great Song Dynasty? They have been oppressed by the Abbasid merchants for a long time, and now they have seen the most exquisite goods of our Great Song Dynasty, and when they return to China, they will definitely encourage the emperor of Europa to trade with our Great Song Dynasty, and the result is very obvious, Abbas has become an obstacle between the two countries, what is the usual way to face the obstacle? Crush it! ”
Cai Boli nodded slightly, and from the Taliban's mouth, he understood that Europa was a fairly powerful dynasty, and the so-called Holy Roman Empire was also composed of many powerful vassal states, and once a common interest appeared in front of them, it would inevitably launch all its forces to fight.
Zhao Zhen thought for a while and said to Cai Shi: "Go and spread the message of the Abbas envoy Taliban to meet you!" ”
Cai Shi immediately sent the decree, and Zhao Zhen and Cai Boyu were left in the small courtyard of the Horse Mansion, the two looked at each other and smiled, Cai Boyu understood the plan of the official family, and at this time let the Taliban come to threaten the Abbasid Dynasty, although the Taliban is the envoy of the two countries, but he is more inclined to the Great Song Dynasty, after all, the identity of a Leye person makes him not very popular in Abbas, but in the Great Song Dynasty he has received a minimum of respect.
And the Great Song Dynasty accepted a Ci Leye people with a broad mind, and now a Ci Leye people are no different from the people of the Great Song Dynasty, even if they live in the areas demarcated by the Great Song Dynasty, it has nothing to do with them, and the royal ticket number responsible for operating the Great Song Dynasty makes their lives very comfortable, and even many people plan to do it here for the rest of their lives, after all, their descendants can enjoy the same right to enter the government as the people of the Great Song Dynasty.
Cai Boyu sighed slightly at the benevolence of the official family, and now the Great Song Dynasty can even enjoy the right of foreign people to enter the office, which is more important than anything else.
The Taliban almost trotted all the way over, and the comfortable life of the past few years has made his body shape slightly out of shape, but he can still see it, but obviously his private life is very disorderly, and his body is not as good as before, and this distance alone makes him breathless.
"Minister...... Minister...... Honglu Temple Shaoqing ...... Taliban see Your Majesty! ”
Zhao Zhen almost laughed out loud when the official position of the Great Song Dynasty was matched with a foreign name like the Taliban, and he didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to give him an official, but this thing did his duty very well, and he was specifically responsible for foreign merchants and missionaries in the Great Song Dynasty.
The Taliban, who understand Chinese culture, can handle the complex relationships well.
But maybe it's the reason for the same-sex rejection...... Cai Boyu has never had a good face with the Taliban, especially after Abbas was unkind to the Great Song, which made the Taliban very wronged, after all, he himself was discriminated against in Abbas......
"You haven't known the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty after so many years in the Great Song Dynasty? I am talking with my breath evened out first! ”
The Taliban were accustomed to Cai Boyu's troubles, and said to Zhao Zhen with a sneer: "Your Majesty didn't get enough sleep for your official duties last night, and I was a little tired all the way, please forgive Your Majesty!" ”
Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes, the New Year is approaching, and there is almost nothing to be busy with in the various yamen of the imperial court, but the two mansions are a little busy because of the local officials, what do you have to do with a suspended Honglu Temple Shaoqing!
