The first thousand and ninety-two chapters of the front line of the Song Dynasty
"Stupid! Extremely stupid! This is obviously his Zhao Zhen's trick! Is it true that he wants to add a crime? You know that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty has bad intentions, so why should he be in line with his own heart and give him a handle?"
The Liaodu Pavilion Post in Beijing is still in the city, still in a corner not far from Dongcheng Street. The surrounding prosperity is in sharp contrast with the silence here, but the originally quiet environment is broken by irritable shouts.
In the side hall, Li Zhongren looked at the exposed Yelu Dinie in front of him silently. Although he was the nominal righteous envoy, everyone in this mission knew that Yelu Dinie was the real righteous envoy.
Yelu Dinie was a royal family. Unlike the Song Dynasty, the royal family of the Liao Dynasty had a high position and power in the court. Moreover, Yelu Dinie was also the closest cousin of Emperor Liao, and he was a rare talent in the clan.
Yelu Jia, who was standing aside, still looked smiling, but a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes: "Don't blame him too. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty set a trap, even if you go. It can be said that what Zhao Zhen had already decided on was something that we can change?"
"Then what do you think should be done?!"
Yelu Dinie said aloud and sat on the chair, and put one foot on it. He was quite upset when he held his knees with both hands. He could tell that he was really scared.
The fear looked like a child who was about to face wild animals. Once the Song Dynasty closed the market and banned merchants from communicating with each other, this would have a huge blow to the Liao Dynasty. Not only did the goods from the Song Dynasty not be transported to the Liao Dynasty, but even the goods from the Liao Dynasty could not be sold to the Song Dynasty.
The Liao Dynasty sold a lot of goods for takeout, but most of them were expensive luxury items. Obviously, only the Song Dynasty could afford such expensive things in this world. The authentic Khitan saddle was valuable. The Liao Dynasty wanted to sell them to the Japanese and they did not have a good sea boat. If they were overturned, they would lose all their money, and the risk was too great.
As for the Koreans... their Marco is not worthy of the Khitan Sabre of the Great Liao Dynasty. Besides, can they afford it?
The Khitan saddles of the Liao Dynasty were often sold in large quantities, with hundreds of pieces at a time. The Koreans could buy one or two, but if they wanted them to buy hundreds, it would be a life for the Koreans!
Yelujia dragged a chair and placed it in the middle of the flower hall, pointed and said, "No more, the wooden tools of the Song Dynasty are now exquisite. Can we make the exquisite wood carvings on it? This chair was sold at a high price of fifty cents in the Song Dynasty, but it was less than a hundred cents in our Great Liao Dynasty! The royal family members, nobles and nobles all rushed to buy it!"
Yelu Dini said in a muffled voice: "So what? It's not that the Song people are good at strange tricks and tricks!"
"Ah! So that's it!"
Li Zhongren screamed in surprise, his eyes shining around the chair, looking left and right. Yelu Dinie frowned and looked at Li Zhongren and said, "What do you understand? Say it quickly! Don't be smart here!"
Li Zhongren smiled and said, "Don't be anxious. Think about it, is the ban on merchants in Song and Liao? Is the great loss of the Great Liao Dynasty or the great loss of the Great Song Dynasty? The Song Dynasty sold so many goods to me every year, but now there is no sales at all. How much loss can I lose in the Great Liao Dynasty? Those cattle and sheep that cannot be sold, and the Khitan saddles that cannot be sold can be used by themselves. But the Song people can't do it!"
Yelu Dini suddenly realized that this is the case!
But he immediately discovered something strange and said in confusion: "No! The Emperor of the Song Dynasty is so smart and cunning, how could he do such a loss-making business?!"
"If you were to be, of course you would feel that you were losing money, but who was Zhao Zhen? There was one time before the Song Dynasty, and the merchants in the Song Dynasty were useless. When the Liao Dynasty could not support me, the merchants in the Liao Dynasty would raise the price themselves without the Song Dynasty."
"So it is the Emperor of Song Dynasty's plan? It makes sense now!"
Yelu Dinie and Li Zhongren breathed a sigh of relief, which scared them. The thing they were most worried about was not the ban on merchants, but from then on, the power between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty was in harmony and there was no longer any trade between them.
But they never thought that this was the beginning of the Song Dynasty's attack on the Liao Dynasty. An invisible and intangible war had quietly begun. Just like the three people in Duting Post, the world was blinded by Zhao Zhen's methods.
If Zhao Zhen knew that it must have been wronged, he really wanted to express that the war had begun, but he could not control other people's ideas...
The economic pressure brought to the Liao people by these series of methods is gradually emerging, or when the news just spread to the Liao Dynasty, the entire Liao Dynasty market began to turmoil.
This was a turmoil that had never been experienced in history. The merchants of the Song Dynasty began to use their officials to buy Liao Dynasty goods at the first time, or went directly to the money shop to exchange for Jiaozi. People rushed to tell the news that the Song Dynasty was about to ban all commercial affairs with the Liao Dynasty.
This really caught the Liao people off guard. The news could not be blocked. There was no secret to the word of mouth?
The merchants of the Song Dynasty quickly convened a guild meeting. Everyone they attended were all merchants of the Song Dynasty who were in the Liao Dynasty. It can be said that they were all wealthy people, and even when they returned to the Song Dynasty, they were rich.
The meeting was held in the guild hall of Hengfeng Business, the leader of the guild. Hengfeng Business originally had two different businesses, one was Hengxiang and the other was SF Express. The two businesses were combined into one and named Hengfeng.
SF Express is Cai Ji Industry, an official in the Song Dynasty. This is something everyone knows, while Hengxiang Business is the largest private business in the Song Dynasty. The day when the two are combined is a move in this life.
Under the current situation, the merchants of the Song Dynasty followed their leader!
Mu Xiu looked at the shopkeepers of the 130 shops present. These were merchants from the Song Dynasty. Although they were worth different, they were all on the list of protections of the Song Dynasty. No official secret orders could be given up, and they all brought back the Song Dynasty with money.
Mu Xiu firmly implemented this point... Others don’t know how much money these merchants made from the Liao Dynasty, but Mu Xiu knew it clearly!
Water accumulates into abyss, and soil accumulates into mountains. It seems that sales are not exaggerated every day, but the accumulation over the years and decades is amazing!
"I guess you shouldn't say that you should know the situation today. I, the Song Dynasty, banned merchants from communicating with each other, and there is no need to say much about this. You have already started to exchange or spend the officials in your hands. You have great prescient ideas and don't need me to teach you.
But I want to tell you that from now on, I have bought everything I can sell, especially what I can’t take away, and all the things I can’t take away will be sold, and so will the burdens!”
“Even the shop is sold?!”
"Sell it! Sell it all, and these shops may fall in the future and it will not be worth much money!"
