Chapter 791 Walking with the Wise

When everyone in the world praised the power and national prestige of the Liao Dynasty, Zhao Zhen didn't care. When everyone in the world despised the unvirtuous monarch of Xixia, Zhao Zhen didn't care.

Others didn't know about the Liao Dynasty's battle, but Zhao Zhen himself knew that the Liao Dynasty had almost devoted all its national strength. It was difficult to detour from Shangjing to Fengshengzhou to Yulin. Unlike the past, the Liao Dynasty's army could not directly pass through Fengshengzhou to reach Yulin, but instead had to circle a large circle from the north.

This was an unprecedented marche of emergency for the Liao Dynasty. What is more important is that the Empress Dowager Xiao Tali personally led his army to Yulin for reinforcements. A country actually wanted a woman to lead troops to fight. This was a symbol of the weakness of this country and a huge joke. Fortunately, with the precedent of Empress Dowager Xiao, it was nothing, after all, Xiao Tali won the war.

In Zhao Zhen's eyes, Xixia was already done. The wool plan was a great success in Xixia. When Li Yuanhao's imperial farm also began to enclose land and raise sheep, Zhao Zhen realized that Li Yuanhao himself had fallen into the entire set of Song Dynasty, occupying thousands of hectares of fertile land and abundant water sources in Xixia. The fertile Ningxia Plain actually began to retreat to farm and livestock. It was such a big joke.

Walking around Beijing, Zhao Zhen suddenly sighed at the temple with a very Jewish architectural style. This building rarely used a roll and arch style in the Song Dynasty. The main features were very obvious, including thick walls, narrow windows, semicircular vaults, door frame decorations and tall towers layer by layer, and a large amount of masonry and stone materials were used.

The exotic buildings are naturally curious, but in the eyes of the people in Beijing, such temples are basically the same as the Zoroastrianism, but the shape of the temples of the foreign people is a little strange.

But they didn't know that it was the talents in the unique buildings that provided a lot of help to the Song Dynasty's finances, whether this help was proactive or forced by Yizi Leiye.

Zhao Zhen had to admit that the Jews were born with an economic mind and had political wisdom, but not everyone had the combat power of their civilization. Zhao Zhen knew no less about the history of the Jews than the old wise man, Rabbi.

Therefore, in front of Zhao Zhen, the rabbi was always wise to argue with Zhao Zhen about the so-called history, because the more he said, the more answers the Emperor of the Song Dynasty gave, and the more dark history of his own clan was, so that he was unwilling to talk to Zhao Zhen about the past of Yitui people.

The special buildings naturally have special gardens. The garden here is planted with anemone that is the favorite of Leye people. There are even a few rare Hoop birds appear in the garden. The phoenix crown on its head makes the bird extremely noble.

"How about it, the weapons and arms provided by the Song Dynasty have been shipped in Mingzhou and will be shipped to Abbas soon. I keep my promise."

The rabbi bowed and said, "The trust of the official family is as precious as gold. Once I give you gifts to Leye, I thank Your Majesty, and after I restore the country, I will repay the loan regularly. But can I give you Leye, I participate in the wool war in the Song Dynasty?"

As the rabbi said, Zhao Zhen suddenly stood up, and the personal guards guarded by Zhao Zhen quickly and neatly pulled out the horizontal sword at his waist. The sound of the knife suddenly sounded and stretched straight towards the rabbi who had no ability to resist and the stunned Taliban. He didn't know why the rabbi said a word pushed him and himself to the gate of hell.

The rabbi did not change at all, and he still sat still in place calmly. Obviously he knew that Zhao Zhen would not really kill him.

Even though he was eaten by the rabbi, Zhao Zhen could only wave helplessly. When the guard stepped down, Zhao Zhen spoke again: "How did you know?"

No wonder Zhao Zhen was surprised that the wool plan was the top secret of the Song Dynasty. Although it was a huge momentum and merchants also bought wool with great fanfare, there would never be five people who knew that this was a strategy against the Dangxiang in the Song Dynasty, including Zhao Zhen himself.

The rabbi smiled and raised his hand and pointed to his head: "God has given us the brain for doing business. People with Yitui have a more keen observation of the way of wealth and goods, just like the difference between people's fragrance and smell. The Xixia people occupied a large area of ​​grassland, and originally raised sheep to meet their needs, but the heavy purchase of wool from the Song Dynasty made Xixia start to raise unwanted things on a large scale. It was goats, not sheep."

The words have been said enough. Dangxiang people have raised a large number of unnecessary things, which will inevitably affect what they originally needed. No matter how large the grassland is, there are certain numbers. If the number of sheep is too large, it will naturally affect the number of horses. The docile animal of goats is often devastating to the grassland. Although it is gentle, it will use its hard hooves to dig the stiff land in winter and chew the grass roots. When the spring of the next year, the grass will not grow again.

The cashmere on the goat is the most favored "treasure" by merchants in the Song Dynasty. It is so high that it is scary. The destruction is slow and it takes two or three years to see it, but the rabbi understands the inside when he sees the surface.

Zhao Zhen sat down slowly, and he underestimated the rabbi's wisdom, or the rabbi was good at observing and analyzing things.

"How long do you think Dangxiang people will have this problem?" Zhao Zhen suddenly felt unsure of his heart and smelled it a little nervously.

"The low number of people is like encountering an oasis in a vast desert. People are always blinded by what they see. Driven by such huge interests, Dangxiang people will not and cannot give up this good opportunity. If I guess correctly, the Song Dynasty should have already hoarded a lot of yarn, right?"

Zhao Zhen pinched his fingers again, really wanting to kill the old fox in front of him! It was the first time I felt that smart people were annoying.

But you can find the answer you need from the wise, which is why people need wise men. The Rabbi analyzed it correctly. Not to mention the ordinary people of Xixia, even the nobles of Xixia, and even the emperor Li Yuanhao himself are eager to raising sheep by enclosing land.

Who can't live with money? The environment of Western Xia is different from that of Liao Dynasty and Song Dynasty. It often makes the country prosperous and prosperous through plundering. Therefore, this kind of wealth is squandered quickly, and gradually someone has discovered it. The Western Regions have been almost plundered, but the consumption of wealth is very amazing. If there is no new income, the good days that I have been used to will come to an end soon.

No one wants to go back to his original days. At this time, purchasing wool in the Song Dynasty became a sleepy pillow, and it was also a life-saving straw for Dangxiang people.

How could the people of Xixia give up this opportunity to get rich easily? Besides, there are too many sheep to store food and grass for Xixia, right?

The Imperial City Office official, wearing narrow edges and thin willow patterns, walked into the block of Yileye people, handed the secret letter in his hand to his guard and turned around and left.
