What should a country focus on?

It's up to those in power.

The kings of the Great Song Dynasty and Zaifu were all staring at the north, especially the Liao people, who were in great trouble.

As for the south, it is currently the wealth supply base of the Great Song Dynasty.

The supply of wealth mainly depends on land, and although the profits of maritime trade are considerable, the base is not large, so it is naturally impossible for the emperor and important ministers to pay attention to it.

Shen An was thinking, Bao Zheng was in the office, and the room was very quiet.

"Someone's coming."

Bao Zheng raised his head and said, "You go." ”

Shen An smiled: "Do you want to help?" ”

Those people were watching Bao Zheng, seeing that it was almost noon, Bao Zheng was still as steady as Mount Tai, so they were afraid.

Bao Zheng shook his head, and his eyes gradually became colder.

The first troll of the Great Song Dynasty is about to go online.

There were about thirty people outside, Shen An opened the door and went out, and they bowed in unison, "Bao Gong...... Hey, it's Shen An? ”

Shen An snorted and said, "Bao Gong is inside." ”

He had only walked more than ten steps when he heard someone crying behind him: "Bao Gong, Xia Guan thought it was a small money ...... at that time."

!

What is petty money?

Took the money to say good things for the city, this is called small money?

This is called bribery.

Bao Zheng's deterrent power is very strong!

Shen An was in a good mood, and felt that if Bao Zheng lived for another ten years, he would be disgusted by people.

Then he went into the palace and asked for an audience.

"Sailor?"

Zhao Zhen felt that this proposal was a bit fanciful.

Han Qi said: "There will be a lot of trouble over there in Jinmingchi every year, and young people love to be lively, just go and see it." ”

Shen An glanced at him and thought to himself, do you think I'm here to play?

"This matter involves maritime trade."

Shen An began to say his plan: "The sea trade of the Great Song Dynasty is currently monopolized by the big cannibals, and the city can earn 700,000 yuan of property every year, but how much can the big food merchants earn?" ”

He stretched out two fingers: "At least two million guan." ”

Hiss......

There was a gasp in the hall, which made Shen An, who was afraid of snakes, shrink his neck, thinking that he had come to the snake cave.

"Two million?"

Han Qi's eyes lit up, Zeng Gongliang rubbed his hands, and Ouyang Xiu tried his best to widen his eyes, wanting to see if Shen An was lying.

And Zhao Zhen was already stunned.

"There are so many?"

Two million pieces!

How much of an asset is that?

With this wealth, the alliance of the abyss is a fart, my brother is rich, and I can't do you in a fight, but my brother can use money to kill you!

This kind of local tyrant's style is so likable, even Zhao Zhen is not immune.

"But really?"

"If there is a falsehood...... That is the grave sin of deceit. ”

“……”

Even Chen Zhongheng thought this thing was too fantastical.

Shen An nodded, "The Great Song earns the money for production, while the merchant is a big cannibal. One piece of goods...... For example, let's sell consistently, and after the big cannibal collects it, it can be sold for three or even five times. ”

Bigwigs, are you excited in the face of this big money?

Zhao Zhen's breath tightened for a moment, and said: "In the past, no one has ever calculated how much money a big cannibal can earn, and the big food merchants lived in the Great Song Dynasty back then, and they also donated a lot...... I didn't expect it! ”

Han Qi said: "At that time, I still felt that they were generous, and I was a little embarrassed. ”

"That's protection money."

Shen An felt that he needed to make up for this group of monarchs and ministers: "The hometown of the Great Cannibal has been war-torn and is no longer the powerful empire. And the Great Song Dynasty is rich and stable...... One is chaotic, the other is rich, they will naturally choose to settle in the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that they're in a colony...... Your Majesty...... Settlement. ”

Zeng Gongliang said coldly: "Gathering is a guest residence, and it is still on guard. ”

Isn't it, it's not just vigilance, these big cannibals will become more and more proud in the future, and in the end, they will be the main ones and give the last blow to Da Song.

Ouyang Xiu thought for a while, "......How much does it cost to revive the water master?"

"Haimao can earn it back!"

The current financial situation of the Great Song Dynasty is not optimistic, but it is all made by itself.

Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment, "Can the Great Song Dynasty compete with the Great Cannibal?" ”

"There are no charts." Han Qi questioned: "Will those big cannibals give nautical charts?" ”

"No, it won't."

The charts of this era are priceless treasures, and no one will pass them on.

Shen An smiled cruelly: "If they don't give it to us, there is no way?" Threats and inducements...... The Imperial City Division is familiar with these vehicles, and just buy a few big cannibals. ”

Zeng Gongliang said longingly: "At that time, the goods of the Great Song Dynasty will travel freely overseas, sail with a full load, and return with a full load......"

It must have been a beautiful day, and the kings and ministers in the palace were looking forward to it.

"That would make a new opponent."

Han Qi's words made Zhao Zhen a little suspicious: "What is the strength of the big cannibal?" If the Great Song Dynasty robbed them of their jobs, would they raise troops to come? ”

The current situation in the Great Song Dynasty did not allow for the emergence of enemies in the south. And whether it is Nong Zhigao or Jiaozhi people, they all make the Great Song Dynasty anxious and unable to take care of the north.

This situation is dangerous!

So first assess the strength of the big cannibal.

Shen An didn't think about it at all, so he said: "The Great Song Dynasty is rich, if they were strong, they would have crossed the sea a long time ago." So I thought that the big cannibal was like that. ”

"It's speculation!"

Han Qi was always worried that he would attract another great enemy: "Liaoren! They were staring at Da Song on the side, and they couldn't wait for an opportunity to take a bite, so they had to be cautious. ”

Shen An explained: "If the country is strong, rich merchants will not be allowed to emigrate overseas, but in Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and even Hangzhou, there are big cannibals to settle. Guangzhou and Quanzhou have the most, and they are all Chengfang City. And those big cannibals are so rich......"

If he had to consider the impact, Shen An wanted to send the Bishan army to loot those merchants.

He looked at Han Qi: "Dare to ask Han Xiang, if a large number of wealthy merchants of the Great Song Dynasty settle overseas, is it okay?" ”

Han Qi's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "Then damn it!" ”

Da Song is a bad money! If someone makes money and runs overseas, Ma Dan, why don't you die?

Zhao Zhen coughed dryly, "So...... Let Bao Zheng come and ask if this money has a source. ”

Later, Bao Zheng came, and as soon as he heard this question, he became energetic.

"Your Majesty, if you can make a profit......

As the third envoy, he is in control of the finances of the entire Great Song Dynasty, and he knows the current situation well.

But Da Song has no money at the moment!

But he still gritted his teeth and said: "As long as you can earn it back, the minister will find a way." ”

That's the biggest support too.

Zhao Zhen bowed his head and said: "In this case, I remember that there is a big cannibal ...... in the capital."

He looked at Shen An and said, "I want to know the ambition of the Great Cannibal. ”

This is a cautious emperor, in his eyes, Da Song is a chicken that needs to be carefully cared for.

Shen An nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the spirit.

When he went out later, he found Wang Tiande directly.

"The Great Cannibal?"

Wang Tiande said: "Yes, I know a few. ”

"Please."

Later, Shen An hosted a banquet for two big food merchants in the backyard of Dark Incense.

"I've seen the edict."

When these two big food merchants saw Shen An, their eyes lit up, and they couldn't wait to bow and worship.

What kind of eyes is this?

Shen Anxin wondered, and after eating for a while, he pretended to be casual and asked, "How is the current situation in the Great Food Country?" ”

The two businessmen looked at each other, and one of them said: "Our country is at the peak of its national strength, and it is invincible in the world. ”

Shen An nodded slightly, and then stopped talking.

After eating later, Shen An said lightly: "If the national power is at its peak, then you shouldn't come to the Great Song Dynasty to do business." ”

This is the threat of the red fruit!

"News of a big eat."

Shen An said it with peace of mind.

Two Persians were beset with unjustified suffering, and one said: "This is not something we can say." ”

"Pull it out!"

Shen An pointed at this person and said, "There is a shortage of labor in Qiongzhou, so I sent it to farm." ”

As soon as the big cannibal wanted to scream, Chen Luo gagged him with something and dragged him out.

The remaining big cannibal was trembling, and Shen An said lightly: "There are a lot of big cannibals in Bianliang, and there is no shortage of you two." ”

The big cannibal glanced up at him, and when he saw that his expression was indifferent, he was afraid.

The more ferocious you are on the outside, the more likely you are to be fierce on the inside.

As the saying goes, if a dog that bites doesn't bark, those who are really fierce won't make a fierce expression at all.

This can also be described as what is lacking, feeling weak, so you need to pretend to be fierce to scare people, so that everyone feels that they are ruthless enough.

"Big Food...... A few years ago, a group of fierce people were beaten everywhere, and we were afraid of the beatings, so I would rather settle in the Great Song Dynasty......"

Good news!

Shen Anxin was overjoyed and asked, "Where did those people come from?" ”

"To the east, but their cavalry is strong."

Powerful?

Shen An remembered the place in Central Asia.

"They are about to capture our capital, and we are now standing side by side with our country."

That place is very tangled, the junction of East and West, it seems to be a place of four wars.

Fight it, preferably for decades.

Shen An felt that the timing was right, so he asked again, "Do you know the fairway?" ”

The big cannibal shook his head almost immediately, "I don't know, I really don't know." ”

"I really don't know?"

The Great Cannibal shook his head, cursed and swore that he only knew nothing.

Then Shen An went to find the Zaifu.

"There is an invasion of foreign enemies on the side of the Great Eclipse, and now the two sides have temporarily suspended their troops, but it is uncertain when they will fight again, so the Great Eclipse is not to be afraid."

Han Qi stroked his beard and frowned, and his white and chubby face was a little more ruthless: "If that's the case...... Then try it? ”

This attitude is very bad, and there is a bit of a weak heart.

But Da Song is this urine to the outside world, who is afraid of whom.

However, after defeating the Jiaozhi and the Western Xia people, the Zai Fu finally regained some confidence, otherwise Han Qi would have directly denied it just now.

The consequence of repeated defeats is that there is no confidence at all, and when encountering foreign affairs, they just want to escape, and use money to do things.

Such a mentality is not strange, but Shen An can't bear it.

That's why he took the risk of using gunpowder in Fuzhou, and when he exploded victorious, Jingguan shocked the northwest.

Then in Jiaozhi, the Jiaozhi people ambushed the army, but were defeated by the Great Song Dynasty, Jingguan towered in the southwest, and the Jiaozhi people were terrified.

Again, it was in Xiongzhou that the Bishan Army annihilated the 500 elites of the Liao army overnight, which made the Liao people also feel jealous.

These achievements are all real and boost the confidence of Da Song, otherwise today's proposal would not have been approved at all.

……

The third is sent, good night!
