The continuous expansion of Jumu City also attracted Cai Bo's attention. How could the Khitans have money to carry out such a grand military city? The Khitans are rich, but they are not so rich!

Who designed this city? Why have you never seen it but found it very practical?

The most important question that troubles Cai Bo is how much wealth did the Khitans accumulate from Western trade?

Nothing else is wrong, but in the end, even the secret spies of the Song Dynasty were not clear.

Even the Khitans themselves did not know the value of wealth. They only knew that the money from the court seemed to be endless.

The ever-expanding city requires a lot of labor, and like the Song Dynasty, these labors are not free labor, but wages are paid.

The imperial court no longer puts official notes made of paper, but silver slots.

The reason why it is called silver slots is because these triangular sterling silver coins with the same shape and specifications are poured out of a mold, not only in the same size, but also in the same pattern.

A large number of silver slugs flowed into the Khitan market and became hard currency. Some golden slugs appeared and became more valuable currencies. These things are real money and silver, so there is no need to worry that they will become waste paper like official banknotes.

Moreover, those who have official notes can go to the court to exchange for gold and silver slots. Even the Song Dynasty exchanged notes are no exception. Although there is a slight loss, who is unwilling to exchange them?

But in fact, they did not know that the Song Dynasty's money was even more valuable. The gold and silver horns exchanged by the Khitan court were not very colored, and the purity under the influence of the impurities was completely incomparable to the gold and silver of the Song Dynasty.

But for the Khitans who are frightened, it is already excellent to be able to exchange them. What else can I choose?

Besides, if you really want to make money, you can just serve as a laborer in Jumu City. There are two silver slots to take every day. If you accumulate a small amount, you will always be rich.

And Cai Bo knew that these things were not valuable, but they only gave the Khitan people something more precious, hope.

The official notes of the Song Dynasty were not circulated in the Khitan, and they could only buy goods from the Song Dynasty. However, with the war between the Khitan and the Song Dynasty, this behavior became the most unlikely thing.

As a result, the official banknotes in the hands of the people were completely reduced to waste paper. Unless they could use the money to go to the Song Dynasty to buy goods, the best way to stop the loss is to exchange gold and silver slots from the court at a low price.

Although these Song Dynasty official banknotes cannot be spent in the hands of the people, it is not the case in the hands of the court. Is it difficult to spend money if you have money?

The Khitan court continued to use some secret channels to exchange large amounts of official notes from the Song Dynasty for materials, including gold and silver vessels. Moreover, the official notes from the Song Dynasty were not only popular in the Song Dynasty, but also in all countries that had trade with the Song Dynasty.

Because of the special paper technology, color printing and steel printing, basically no one can imitate the official notes of the Song Dynasty, and the cost of imitation is too high.

You have to spend five cents of money to imitate a one-month official bill, and you have to imitate a one-month official bill. What else can you imitate? You won’t lose it!

And rough imitations can be easily revealed. Unless a person with bad eyesight, he should not use the fake official notes in his hands, and there is a great risk. In this feudal era, the criminal law was many times heavier than later generations.

Those who hide fake official notes have been snatched for six years. This lightest one is already deterred, let alone above it?

Some people who took risks were basically sentenced to the extreme punishment of Dabi, and no one dared to test the law for a long time.

So the Khitans used the official banknotes of the Song Dynasty to exchange real gold and silver in countries around the world. Of course, they did not exchange them directly. Some were sold to merchants. After all, merchants did long-distance trade and carried gold and silver with them, so official banknotes were much more convenient.

Besides, when you go to the Song Dynasty to do business, it is very convenient to have official banknotes from the Song Dynasty, so you don’t have to go to the Song Dynasty’s money shop to exchange them.

The Khitan court confiscated the official banknotes of the Song Dynasty, then sold them for real gold and silver, and then exchanged them with inadequate gold and silver to the people. What is the difference and profit? The people also had to trade labor for more gold and silver slots.

This is a good show to make profits by taking advantage of information gaps.

The Khitan court gained a lot of wealth from this. From the beginning, even before the war between the Song Dynasty and the Khitan, Xiao Tali and Zhang Jian had already begun to prepare all this. This was the fastest way to make money by making money by making money by making nothing.

However, the Khitan people did not understand this point. They were closed to information and were at the downstream of the information end, and they became the target of exploitation without realizing it.

In fact, this is the Khitan court exploiting and exploiting its own people. Even if they know this, Xiao Tali had no choice. This is really a helpless move that was exhausted.

With money, you can do many things. This is how the Giant Mother City was built.

The Khitan people did not know that they had been exploited. They just felt that although the money given by the court was not much, they gave them a certain source of income. Coupled with their hard work, they would definitely live a good life.

Living a good life is the life that the Khitan people dream of. Everything they do is working towards a stable and beautiful life.

They also have their own pride and persistence. Not long ago, they were still people living at the foot of the emperor, living a comfortable life, rich reserves, and a considerable wealth. After all, how many people living in the capital are truly destitute?

They have become accustomed to that kind of life, but now they are suddenly becoming displaced and cannot accept it in their hearts.

During this period, they saw the power of the Song Dynasty and the decline of the Khitan. The only thing they wanted to do now was not what Xiao Tali thought was "to the old capital", but to live a stable life.

They have lived a displaced life.

The destruction of the country and the family is a fatal problem for them. The country and nation no longer exist. How can their lives be guaranteed? So when the Song army was approaching, they were extremely scared.

They made great efforts to do this. When Xiao Tali wanted to take them away, no one complained, and at the same time, they also saw hope under Xiao Tali's leadership.

Can't anyone see the problem?

Obviously not. There must be some smart people who have discovered the problem, but they did not point it out, and even the court officials were subconsciously keeping this secret.

It's strange that no one cares about this matter or promotes it everywhere. Even if a few people who think they are smart will be scolded by others.

If your wife talks about this injustice, she will be scolded or beaten up by men.

This is also why the Song Dynasty did not know who the Khitans came from.
