Chapter 1793: The Collision of Civilizations
"Are there many Khitans coming to the store?"
Xiao Tali couldn't help but speak next to him, and the guy nodded repeatedly, "A lot! You don't know, noble lady, you have more Khitans than us Han people. They are willing to make money and spend money. They probably didn't live such a life before, but now they have made money, so they naturally have to spend a little extravagant."
Hearing this, Xiao Tali nodded slightly, and now she felt relieved. Although the Khitan people were a little overwhelmed, it showed that the Khitans could really make money in the Song Dynasty. After getting used to the abundant supplies here, they would slowly begin to restrain themselves and accumulate.
Xiao Tali's heart was already stable, and the biggest hidden danger had been eliminated. She had no more to worry about. In fact, she had already figured it out. Zhao Zhen's words were right. As long as he was still alive, it was better than anything else. It seemed vulgar words, but in fact they had great wisdom.
Have the Khitans integrated into the Song Dynasty? Yes, they integrated into it.
Has the original national heart been lost? Lost.
But so what?
The Khitans still survived. They integrated into the Song Dynasty and became the people of the Song Dynasty. They also had a better life. They had no worries about food and drink, no worries about no place to work, and no worries about not getting wages. To be honest, the Khitans were not as good as those in this life before.
Xiao Tali also chose a sky blue trouser, with narrow sleeves, collars, cuffs, and hem of the lace collars, especially the "yellow on the waist" belly circumference at the waist, which highlights her slender figure and also looks elegant and luxurious.
The young man looked at it and was shocked. He didn't dare to look at it again. He whispered under the threatening look of the three sects beside him: "The noble man is really a fairy who is dressed in a celestial body. It's so beautiful, so beautiful!"
After Sancai rewarded him with his usual money, the man walked away and went out to solicit customers.
Zhao Zhen smiled and looked at it for a while and praised, "Excellent, great, I think it looks much better than you wearing a crown! This is my woman!"
"The official... the words of unrestrainedness should not be said casually."
Zhao Zhen waved his hand: "I'm telling the truth. Now that you have seen the lives of the Khitan people, you should be relieved. I am not a foolish monarch, and I know how to stabilize the grassland. The best way is to let them live a good life under the rule of the Song Dynasty, so that they will support the Song Dynasty and will not rebel."
"Will the official family move them inward?"
Zhao Zhen nodded: "It is necessary to move inward. The Khitan people in Zhongjing Road and Linheng Prefecture do not need to move inward. They are not many, and they quickly accepted the rule of our Song Dynasty. The people live a healthy life, but the Khitan people who follow you to move north cannot. They are not following you Xiao Tali, but the imperial power."
Xiao Tali knew what Zhao Zhen meant, and she didn't know what to say at this time. The best choice now is not to continue to fight, but to obey Zhao Zhen's arrangements.
She saw everything in the capital. This was not an act, but a real life. The prosperity in the city unexpectedly made her. After the grassland was taken down by the Song Dynasty, trade exchanges became more frequent.
Merchants from the Song Dynasty or merchants on the grassland drove the convoys and brought countless wealth.
From the grassland to Hulunbuir City, from Hulunbuir City to Linheng Mansion, from Linheng Mansion to Beijing Dading Mansion, and then to Shendu City, a commercial road from the Central Plains to the grassland has been opened.
Xiao Tali knew that from now on, the chess game of grassland was revived by him, Zhao Zhen, and for thousands of years, he, Zhao Zhen, did what emperors of all dynasties had not done.
He expressed his feelings to Zhao Zhen, but who knew he laughed and stared at Xiao Tali for a long time before saying, "Do you know why I have the confidence? Do you know what the Song Dynasty looks like now? Do you know why I, the Song Dynasty, can crush any tribe on the Khitan and the grassland? The answer is in the south."
"South? Where?"
Zhao Zhen pointed to the distant south: "When you arrive at Zhongjing Dading Prefecture, from that point on your way south. When you arrive at Shendu, you will know why I said that. I have something that is unprecedented in China. My Song Dynasty is now a real dragon, soaring and unstoppable. There is no enemy in the world. If you don't believe it, just walk and see!"
Zhao Zhen's confidence surprised Xiao Tali. The Zhao Zhen she knew would not say such arrogant words. He has always been a gentle gentleman, but now he is full of arrogant attitude, like a beast.
The best way to completely conquer a person is to let them see your own strength.
This is how powerful countries in later generations usually do it, exposing their powerful weapons and showing their powerful strength. Only in this way can the enemy be afraid and make people with ulterior motives scare. This threat is the best way to safeguard national security.
There are no rivals around the Song Dynasty now, and its powerful national strength has made all the Gentiles tremble. Even the South China Sea countries, once called barbarians, which were once called by the Chinese dynasty, were annexed by the Song Dynasty, and even the distant Black Khan Dynasty was torn to pieces under the iron hooves of the Song Dynasty.
Who dares to challenge the Song Dynasty again?
The Song Dynasty had already begun to reach out to Tianzhu. It was not Zhao Zhen and the court who took the initiative to attack, but Tianzhu himself challenged the Song Dynasty.
Because the southern trade routes were opened, the Song Dynasty now had three Silk Roads, one on the sea, and it was mostly unobstructed. The Strait of Malacca was already in the hands of the Song Dynasty. Although there were pirates on the sea, it rarely poses a threat to the Song Dynasty's fleet.
The Silk Road in the Western Regions has also been restored, but it is not enough for merchants. The Silk Road in the South has become the primary choice for merchants on land transportation in the Song Dynasty. This Silk Road in the South must pass through Tianzhu.
After the Indians discovered that there were more and more merchants in the Song Dynasty, they began to strengthen their tertiary industry, but the Songs are now superior. After seeing the environment in India, they decisively refused to stay in India.
Just when they replenish the necessary food and fresh water there, they rushed to the road. To the Han people, the nations that eat with their hands are naturally barbaric, and only wild animals are so vulgar.
What the merchants in the Song Dynasty could not accept was their caste system, which was simply slavery and completely contrary to Confucian benevolence, righteousness and morality.
Suddenly, the Indians who could not make money began to hold grudges. They did not look for problems from themselves, but blamed the problems on merchants from the Song Dynasty.
In their opinion, these merchants in the Song Dynasty should spend money in Tianzhu, sell goods to them at a low price, and give alms to the poor in poor villages...
Gradually, merchants in the Song Dynasty could not buy what they wanted. There was very little water, dirty and smelly, food was unpalatable, bitter and astringent. This was just the beginning. The locals united and began to refuse to buy things for merchants in the Song Dynasty, and even blackmailed them at extremely high prices.
