Chapter 517: Colonial Sprouts

Many years ago, when Cao Tong and Pan Feng went to Zhao Zhen with a sketch of Tang Yi's attack on Liao, Tang Yi thought that it was very good to come to Laizhou for waterway trade, so why not turn Laizhou into an outpost of the Great Song Dynasty?

People in this era have no concept of "concession", but Tang Yi deeply understands how shameless this kind of behavior is to say that it is rent, but it is actually a robbery. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

It was the bridgehead of the Great Colonial Era, and he understood how devastating a concession would be in the hinterland of the Liao Dynasty to its politics, economy, and even culture.

Besides, Tang Yi shook a little wit just now, he asked for the right to govern, that is, the right to administer. With the right to rule, the Great Song Dynasty was able to send troops to protect the interests of the Song people.

This is a nail nailed to the heart of the Liao Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty will use it however he wants in the future.

......

But, as Wu Yu said, the Liao people are not stupid, will they agree?

The answer is yes

Definitely!

First of all, Yelu Hongji didn't know how harmful colonization was, so he only rented a city to the Great Song Dynasty;

Secondly, he is too short of money now......

looked at Wu Yu, "Do you know why no one in the Great Song Dynasty has been willing to fight from top to bottom for so many years?" ”

Wu Yudao: "Because I don't have money......"

The conscription system of the Great Song Dynasty was too extravagant to really afford to fight.

"Yes!" Tang Yi affirmed. "Because there's no money! Similarly, Da Liao has no money! ”

Wu Yu disagreed, "But the Great Liao is a soldier in peacetime, and a soldier in wartime, which is much lower than the cost of raising soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"You said it, that's usual. But once the fight starts, the cost is the same, and Da Liao can't afford to spend this money. ”

The existence of Yelu Chongyuan is the reason why Da Liao spends money, and it is also the reason why Yelu Hongji has to raise money everywhere.

"The Liao Dynasty was vast, but most of the places were still very primitive. It is not difficult to see from the fact that a Yanyun accounted for three-quarters of the financial and tax revenue of the Great Liao, and the rest of the Liao Dynasty was a wasteland. ”

"Now, Yelu Chongyuan monopolizes Yanyun, although he has not cut off Emperor Liao's finances and taxes, but once the fight starts, even if Yelu Chongyuan is kind, he will not send Yanyun's finances and taxes to the Liao Dynasty again, right?"

Tang Yi's face was firm, and he said: "The founding of the Great Liao Dynasty was earlier than the Great Song Dynasty, but did Xianggong think about it, why did the standing army only have a mere 50,000 Pi Servants?" ”

"People don't need that much."

"!" Tang Yi took a sip. "When you are an emperor, who doesn't want to have as many soldiers around you as possible? In peacetime, its 50,000 leather servants are enough, but what if there is a war? The Imperial Guard Army immediately had less than the local army, I don't know how many times, and the Liao Emperor was not afraid? He doesn't know? ”

"At the end of the day, there's still no money!"

Wu Yu nodded, and Tang Yi was reasonable.

"Then you mean that Yelu Hongji is in a hurry to ask for this money just to prevent Yelu Chongyuan?"

"Hmm." Tang Yi said firmly. "He now understands this more clearly than any previous emperor of the Great Liao, and urgently needs financial resources to expand the Pi Servant Army!!"

――――――――

And Yelu Hongji's side is really tempted.

Tang Yi is right, he is really short of money now.

As for Tang Yi's calculations, he could see some of them, but judging from the current internal situation of Da Liao, he didn't care at all.

In other words, the Song people's move to rent land is acceptable to both parties.

The Song people wanted to get rid of the humiliation of the "New Year's coin", but they only got rid of it unilaterally, they were also deceiving their own people. But for Liao, in essence, it is still given money every year, and it has increased by one million.

For example, the Southern Dynasty can say to the people, we don't give the Great Liao New Year's coins, but occupy their land.

The Liao Dynasty can also say to its courtiers that the two places are an excuse to increase the annual coins.

Moreover, when he came to the state to give Tang Yi, the half-dead mutual market was in his hands, he would definitely manage it carefully, right? From this, it can bring a lot of income to Daliao.

Yelu Hongji even felt that it was a win-win situation.

"I think, that's it!"

When Xiao Guhun heard that the emperor wanted to agree, he was always a little weak in his heart, but he didn't know what was wrong.

"Your Majesty, let's gather a group of courtiers and discuss it well......"

Yelu Hongji glared, "What else are you discussing?" Did that bastard give you time to consult? ”

"Then ......" Xiao Guhun also ran out of ideas.

"Let me ask you, you say, how much does a small state earn every year?"

Xiao Guhun pursed his lips straightly, and said in his heart, there is a fart income! This bird doesn't in a broken place, and even the field tax a year can bring thousands of Song money to Daliao.

"Isn't it worth exchanging one to come to the state for a million Song dollars?"

Well, this stupid emperor, that's not how the accounts are calculated.

Xiao Guhun knows this person's temperament, he is stubborn and self-serving, and he can't listen to what others say, he says it's decided, then it's decided.

......

Early the next morning, Yelu Hongji didn't get on the Song boat again, and he didn't look at Tang Yi to be angry, let alone suffer his wronged anger in person? Only let Xiao Guhun come alone.

Emperor Liao, agreed!

Hearing Xiao Guhun say this sentence himself, Wu Yu didn't say anything for a long time.

"The old man is in a hurry...... ...... first"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Yu staggered to the inside of the cabin, and as soon as the figure was submerged behind the warehouse door, there was a plop outside, and the old man was so excited that he fainted!

Tang Yi hurriedly chased after him, scolding in his heart, you faint for bad things, why are you faint for such good things?

――+――――――――

Xiao Guhun passed a word, and it was hung there......

Wu Yu was finally woken up, and the first thing he said was, the Liao people didn't see it, right!?

He was afraid that the Liao people would see his abnormality, know that there was fraud, and regret it.

"Don't worry!" Tang Yi comforted. "The Liao people are more anxious than us, and they are still waiting above, but I am afraid that we will regret it."

Wu Yu nodded, got up from the bed with difficulty, solemnly hugged his palms above his head, slammed them to the ground, and gave Tang Yi a deep salute.

"The old man is acting on behalf of my emperor Song Wanmin, thank you Zihao!" The stone that was about to crush the Great Song Dynasty finally let Tang Yi move away.

Tang Yi hurriedly stepped forward and helped Wu Yu up.

"What are you doing? Kill the boy. ”

"Have you forgotten? I am also a citizen of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Wu Yu nodded excitedly, "Yes, yes, you are the people of the Great Song Dynasty!" A good son of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"Don't get excited!" Tang Yi was afraid that he would faint again. "It's a good time to rest, and what happens after that depends on you getting old."

It is generally decided, but there are still many details that need to be negotiated between the two countries, and how much advantage can be taken in it depends on Wu Yu's negotiation skills.

No, Wu Yuyi waved his hand, "This glory belongs to Da Lang, the old man can't take credit, you can negotiate yourself." ”

Tang Yi smiled bitterly: "You really hold me up, pretending to be stupid and unreasonable is the kid's forte." However, grinding with the Liao people, Yi can't be played. ”

"What's not going to work?" Wu Yu did not follow. "I think you were good at cutting the belt yesterday, and you have to use your kind of trick with these brutes!"

"That's not going to work either. You forget, it was Xiao Guhun who negotiated over there, and his son was Xiao Siye, if I went, he would inevitably bring emotions, and it might be self-defeating. ”

Wu Yu twisted his eyebrows, that's really the case.

"What about the old man?"

Tang Yi smiled, "It's time for you to go!" ”
