Chapter 211: Breach (1)
"Uh-huh!" Zhao Jiaren couldn't help but laugh out loud after reading the latest Yuan Guo report.
"Do the officials think it's all funny, or are they laughing at something." Zhao Qian asked his father with great interest. Hearing this question, the prime ministers on the left and right looked over, and the two ministers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Finance who attended the meeting looked at Zhao Guanjia intently.
"I don't necessarily think it's funny, I just think it's funny. The Yuan Kingdom actually wanted to use their banknotes as the currency of the Quadripartite Alliance. Hum Hum Hum! ”
The important ministers looked at Zhao Guanjia laughing, but found that there was no ridicule and malice in Zhao Guanjia's voice. With their understanding of the Zhao Guan's family, they can even feel a kind of sympathy and ...... from it Miss? These people certainly can't understand how China feels about U.S. monetary hegemony in the 21st century, and they feel that this is insignificant compared to other things.
Luo Yiren asked: "Official, the minister knows that the issuance of currency is very important, and the economy is much more active immediately after the issuance of currency in the Tianzhu colonies. The minister wanted to ask why the affairs of the Quadripartite Alliance made the officials pay so much attention. Is it more important than Hao Ren? ”
"To admit that the Quartet banknotes issued by the Great Song Dynasty is to submit to the economic system of the Great Song Dynasty. The country's frontier is divided into two types: geographical frontier and economic frontier. You all know what geographical frontiers are, but economic frontiers are not judged by distance or connection. The areas that accepted the currency of the Great Song Dynasty were within the economic frontier of the Great Song Dynasty, and those that did not accept it were outside the economic frontier of the Great Song Dynasty. For example, compared with the Eastern Roman Empire, the Wa Kingdom was on the edge of the economic frontier, and it was more distant than the Eastern Roman Empire. The Tianzhu colonization was closer to the core of the economic frontier of the Great Song Dynasty than the Eastern Roman Empire and the Wa Kingdom. ”
Luo Yiren's eyes lit up when he heard this, he originally felt this way, but now that Zhao Guanjia said it clearly, he immediately felt that his cognition was really correct, and his joy was indescribable.
Seeing that the young ministers were either overjoyed or gradually understood, Wen Tianxiang felt a little regretful in his heart. Zhao Guan's family has not changed much in the past few decades, as can be seen from his support for Jia Yidao's public land reform, Wen Tianxiang initially thought that Zhao Jiaren would strongly oppose the public land reform. After decades, Zhao Jiaren's understanding of finance is still far beyond Wen Tianxiang's imagination. What kind of understanding does this have to be to notice that there are people in the Yuan country who oppose the monetary dominance of the Europa provinces in the Quadripartite Alliance.
Wen Tianxiang was already a bold person, and after working under Zhao Jiaren for so many years, he could say whatever he wanted, and when he had doubts in his heart, Wen Tianxiang said: "Official, is it not worth mentioning that the whole chaos in the two river basins is not worth mentioning?" ”
Zhao Jiaren replied in a relaxed tone: "They mess with them, what are we doing." Besides, can this be called chaos? Isn't that normal, with their view of the world, sooner or later it will be like this? ”
Wen Tianxiang only felt more uneasy, and Zhao Guanjia showed delicacy and sensitivity in understanding people's hearts many times. However, heaven and earth are in balance, and in many cases, the Zhao Guanjia will show an amazing heartlessness. From the Black Sea to the northern slave dynasty of Tianzhu, fifty or sixty million people are now involved in a great upheaval. It may be understandable that the situation will be within the realm of understanding before Hao Ren's assassination, and the turbulence caused by Hao Ren's assassination will place this vast area in an unpredictable future......
"What do you think is normal?" Wen Tianxiang had to continue asking.
"The system causes contradictions, and contradictions lead to changes, which is what I think is normal. It's just that Da Song has surpassed this stage, so we think how can it be so messy. Actually, weren't we like that back then? ”
Wen Tianxiang was about to break the casserole and asked, "What are we similar to them back then?" ”
"Let's talk about Mongolia first, regardless of Timur's own level of knowledge, the purpose of his formation of the banner army is to suppress those princes so that he can collect taxes. So why don't the princes send troops to help this time. The means of realizing this struggle are high and low, and the essence and purpose are no different from those of the public land reform. ”
Zhao Jiaren told his opinion flatly, and Zhao Qian only felt that the complicated information in the information he saw seemed to be too far from his father's simple explanation. He couldn't help but ask: "Official, should this be the overall trend or personal cognition." I don't think Timur has such a deep understanding. ”
"While individual ideas are unique, the needs of all are unified. For example, according to the five-tier analysis method, physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, respect needs and self-actualization needs. But Timur himself has not learned such knowledge, let alone built up scientific understanding, so he does not need to consider his own subjective initiative at all. Like most people, what he sees, hears, and feels is his entire personal world, and the so-called imagination is only to expand these intuitive feelings on a larger scale. For example, if he slept with a woman, he thought that if he could sleep with a thousand women, he would be amazing. In fact, even if he did, what would he do? Timur's actions may change a lot of things, but his subjectivity is still a little bit. So I personally don't recommend that people like Timur be inferred from the results of sheer scale. ”
Zhao Qian originally felt that he had mastered the essence of understanding people's hearts, and recently he also felt that he could understand many things and people that he could not understand, but after listening to what his father said, Zhao Qian only felt that he had seen a broader world. But the difficulty of figuring out this wider world is increasing, how can one determine the scope of one's vision? Just like Wen Tianxiang in front of him, although there is a big gap with Zhao Qian in terms of scientific cognition and logic, Zhao Qian can feel that Wen Tianxiang is stronger than himself in many places.
was thinking about it, so I heard my father say: "Zhao Qian, you are responsible for the affairs of the Lianghe River Basin." ”
"This ...... I'm worried about the ...... I'm dealing with," Zhao Qian felt very embarrassed.
"Where in this world is there a person who can manage thousands of miles away. Just know what you have to do, know what you can do, and do your best. ”
When Zhao Qian heard this, his heart was excited. What Daddy is referring to is Zhao Qian's heart disease at this time, he wants to be able to do everything at the same level as Daddy, although he already knows that he is his own Daddy is Daddy, and he also knows that the disposal of anything will show different effects in different time periods, right or wrong, stupid or clear. If the 100-year plan is viewed from the perspective of a 10-year plan, it is likely to be foolish, and if it is viewed from the perspective of a 10-year plan, it will not be far-reaching and subtle enough. However, the person who made the decision only made the decision at that moment, and at most there was the accumulation of decades of that person. How is it possible to make the 'absolutely right' decision?
Thinking of this, Zhao Qian put down the thoughts in his heart and replied decisively: "Understood." ”
The important ministers listened to the conversation between the monarch and the minister, father and son, the left prime minister Wen Tianxiang seemed to be thinking about something else, and the right prime minister had no reaction. Foreign Minister Lu Baifeng looked at Zhao Jiaren, and Minister of Finance Luo Yiren stared at Zhao Qian for a while, his eyes full of concern.
After the meeting ended, Zhao Qian had a small meeting with Lu Baifeng and Luo Yiren, Zhao Qian was thinking about saying something, and Luo Yiren asked: "Prince, I don't know what you think of the economic frontier that the official family said?" ”
Zhao Qian was stunned for a moment, and his eyes immediately brightened. He asked Luo Yiren rhetorically: "What does Minister Luo think?" ”
"The economic frontier that the officials refer to probably refers to the economic order, that is, the system of currency issuance and circulation. I now see that what the officials are saying is exactly what the officials have been doing. The main currency used in a region is the issuance and management of the Great Song Dynasty, and the local money and financial investment are done in accordance with the requirements of the Great Song Dynasty, which is within the economic frontier of the Great Song Dynasty. As long as the following disturbances do not touch on this, it is only a matter for those in the local area. ”
What Luo Yiren said was similar to what Zhao Qian thought, more straightforward and clear than Zhao Qian could think of at this time, Zhao Qian nodded slightly, this is probably what Dad said, 'Know what you should do'.
Lu Baifeng listened to what Luo Yiren said, and was a little worried in his heart. Luo Yiren is about the same age as Zhao Qian, as long as he doesn't have an accident, he will definitely be a minister of the two dynasties. Luo Yiren is now the minister of the domain, and conservatively looking at it, he has to rank in the top 30 in the Great Song Dynasty, and it can be said that he has a bright future. However, Luo Yiren gave people a little bit of the taste of an emperor at this time, and Lu Baifeng only felt that this young colleague was too sharp.
Zhao Qian doesn't care about this kind of thing, there is no shortage of this kind of person full of sharp spirit in his life, compared with the feeling that his father caused to Zhao Qian, Luo Yiren is simply a warm spring breeze. Since Luo Yiren reminded 'know what you should do', you should understand 'what you can do' according to your father's instructions. Zhao Qian asked, "How much impact do we have on Mongolia's economy?" ”
"It's all barter, and a small amount of gold and silver to pay for. Cutting off these trades, while it has an impact, does not change anything. ”
"So...... What about the other three countries in the Quadripartite Alliance? Zhao Qian asked. After asking this question, he only felt very uncomfortable, which was too far from his previous understanding of the world. Originally, Zhao Qian preferred to believe that swords, guns and conquest could control a country, but now he found that swords, guns and conquest were only means, and conquest was only to accomplish more important purposes.
"It's hard to say what those two countries think. You have to ask Vice Minister Yang about this. After Luo Yiren finished speaking, he looked at Lu Baifeng.
Lu Baifeng didn't expect Luo Yiren to lead the topic to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so he could only get up and order someone to call Vice Foreign Minister Yang Congrong. Yang Congrong came quickly, and after listening to the question, he thought for a moment and replied: "As far as I know, there are many people in both Eastern Rome and Western Rome who have the same attitude as the Yuan Kingdom. Yuan Guo has been able to persist until now because of Hao Ren's personal reasons, as for whether Hao Ren understands the key to this, I can't say. Maybe Hao Ren simply thinks that this is the right thing to do, but in fact, he himself knows a little about it. ”
Zhao Qian was silent, he was not thinking about the Quartet Alliance, but about his father's previous words. Without learning knowledge and building scientific cognition, most people in the world are just what they see, hear, and feel, and the so-called imagination is just to expand these intuitive feelings.
