What should a country pay attention to?

This issue depends on the ruler.

The kings and prime ministers of the Song Dynasty were staring at the north, especially the Liao people, who were the most concerned.

As for the south, it is currently the wealth supply base of the Song Dynasty.

Wealth supply mainly depends on land. Although the profits of maritime trade are considerable, the base is not large, so it is naturally impossible for emperors and important officials to pay attention to it.

Chen An was thinking, Bao Zheng was working, and the room was very quiet.

"Someone is here."

Bao Zheng looked up and said, "You go."

Chen An smiled and said, "Do you want help?"

Those people were watching Bao Zheng. Seeing that it was almost noon, Bao Zheng was still as stable as Mount Tai, so he was scared.

Bao Zheng shook his head, and his eyes gradually became colder.

The number one troll in the Song Dynasty is about to go online.

There were about thirty people outside. Chen An opened the door and went out. They all bowed, "Bao Gong... Huh, is it Chen An?"

Chen An beat him up and said, "Bao Gong is inside."

He had only walked more than ten steps when he heard someone crying behind him: "Bao Gong, Xiaguan thought it was a small money at that time..."

Nonsense!

What is small money?

I took the money and said good things to the Maritime Bureau. Is this called small money?

This is called bribery.

Bao Zheng’s deterrence is very powerful!

Chen An was in a good mood and felt that if Bao Zheng lived for another ten years, he would probably hate him.

Then he went to the palace to see him.

"Navi?"

Zhao Zhen felt that this proposal was a bit imaginative.

Han Qi said: "There is a riot in Jin Mingchi every year. Young people love to be lively, just go and have a look."

Chen An glanced at him and thought to himself, do you think I was here to play?

"This matter involves maritime trade."

Chen An began to express his plans: "The sea trade in the Song Dynasty is currently monopolized by the Great Cannibal. The Maritime Service can earn 700,000 yuan of property every year, but how much can the Great Cannibal merchants earn?"

He stretched out his two fingers: "At least two million coins."

hiss……

The sound of gasping in the hall made Chen An, who was afraid of snakes, shrink his neck and think that he had come to the snake cave.

"Two million coins?"

Han Qi's eyes shone, Zeng Gongliang was ready to rub his hands, Ouyang Xiu tried hard to widen his eyes, wanting to see if Chen An was lying.

And Zhao Zhen was already confused.

"There are so many?"

Two million coins!

What a fortune this is?

With this wealth, the Chanyuan Alliance is nothing. I have money and can't beat you when I fight, but I can kill you with money!

This kind of local tyranny style is so popular that even Zhao Zhen cannot escape.

"But really?"

"If there is any falsehood... it is a serious crime to deceive the emperor."

“…”

Even Chen Zhongheng thought this was too fantastic.

Chen An nodded, "The Song Dynasty earned money from production, but the merchants were great cannibals. A piece of goods... For example, if we sell Yiguan, we can sell three or even five cannibals after we buy them."

Big guys, are you moved by this great fortune?

Zhao Zhen's breathing tightened for a moment and said, "In the past, no one has ever calculated how much money a big can make. When the big food merchants lived in the Song Dynasty, they donated a lot... I didn't expect it!"

Han Qi said: "At that time, I felt a little embarrassed to feel generous."

"That's the protection fee."

Chen An felt that he needed to give a lesson to these kings and ministers: "The hometown of the great cannibals has experienced many wars and is no longer the powerful empire. The Song Dynasty is rich and stable... one is chaotic and the other is rich, so they will naturally choose to settle in the Song Dynasty. But they are living together... Your Majesty... living together."

Zeng Gongliang said coldly: "Live together is to live in a guest house, and he is still on guard."

Isn't that true? It's not just about being alert. These great cannibals will become more and more proud in the future. In the end, they will take the lead and give the Song Dynasty a final blow.

Ouyang Xiu thought for a while, "The cost of revitalizing the navy..."

"Can you earn it back from the sea trade!"

The current financial situation in the Song Dynasty is not optimistic, but it is all done by itself.

Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment, "Can the Song Dynasty compete with the cannibals?"

"There is no chart." Han Qi questioned: "Will those big cannibals give charts?"

"Won't."

The naval charts of this era are priceless treasures, and no one can teach them.

Chen An smiled grimly and said, "If they don't give us any help, there is nothing they can do? Threat and temptation... The Imperial City Department is familiar with these charities and just bribe a few big cannibals."

Zeng Gongliang said in longingly: "At that time, the goods of the Song Dynasty traveled overseas, sailed with full loads and returned with full loads..."

That day must have been extremely beautiful, and the monarchs and ministers in the hall were looking forward to it.

"That would create a new rival."

Han Qi's words made Zhao Zhen a little doubted: "How strong are the great cannibals? If the Song Dynasty stole their jobs, would they rise up?"

The current situation in the Song Dynasty did not allow enemies to appear in the south. Whether it was Nong Zhigao or Jiaozhi people, they made the Song Dynasty very worried and could not take into account the north.

This situation is very dangerous!

So we must first evaluate the strength of the cannibal.

Chen An said without thinking at all, "The Song Dynasty was rich. If they had strong strength, they would have been crossing the sea long ago. So I think this is the case with the great cannibals."

"This is a guess!"

Han Qi was always worried that it would attract another great enemy: "Liao people! They were staring at the Song Dynasty by the side, wishing they could find a machine to take a bite, so be cautious."

Chen An explained: "If the country is strong, wealthy businessmen will definitely not be allowed to move overseas. In Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and even Hangzhou, there are big cannibals who settle down. Guangzhou and Quanzhou are the most common, and they are all markets. And those big cannibals are so rich that they are rich..."

If we had to consider the influence, Chen An wanted to send Mangshan troops to loot those merchants.

He looked at Han Qi: "I dare to ask Han Xiang, if there were a large number of wealthy merchants in the Song Dynasty settled overseas?"

A fierce light flashed in Han Qi's eyes, "That's damn!"

The Song Dynasty is short of money! If someone makes money, he will run overseas. Ma Dan, what is it if he is immortal?

Zhao Zhen coughed dryly, "So... let Bao Zheng come and ask if the money has a source."

Bao Zheng came later, and he became excited when he heard this question.

"Your Majesty, if you can make a profit..."

As the Three Sessions, he was in control of the finances of the entire Song Dynasty and knew the current situation well.

But Da Song has no money at the moment!

But he still gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you can earn back, I will find a way."

This is the greatest support.

Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I remember that there are great cannibals in the capital..."

He looked at Chen An and said, "I want to know the ambition of being a great cannibal."

This is a cautious emperor. In his eyes, Da Song is just a chicken and needs careful care.

Chen An nodded slightly, indicating that he had understood the spirit.

After going out later, he found Wang Tiande directly.

"Big cannibal?"

Wang Tiande said: "Yes, I know a few."
