Guo Shao pondered for a moment: The old sea merchants in the South Han area were mainly Liang and Huang, who were interested in sea trade and money shops, but their funds were far from enough. I am the boss and proposed a plan. At that time, Mrs. Chen asked the merchants in Jiangnan if they were willing.
Chen Jiali said: Please make clear.
I have confirmed that there are a large amount of silver mines on the East Island.Guo Shao said directly that as long as the imperial army opens up the sea route and gains a foothold on the East Island, it can obtain a large amount of gold, silver and copper ore. After these precious metals are transported back to the country, they will be minted into coins and circulated through major monetary houses.
Now I want businesses in Jiangnan and South and Han raising 3 million kilowatts of military expenses, asking for cash or silk and other goods that are easy to transport...
Hearing three million coins, Chen Jiali's little mouth opened and she looked surprised.
Sure enough, the businessman claimed to be rich at this time, but he was still far from comparable to the government.
Three million guan is not much for Guo Shaozhen. When he just fought against the three major southern countries (Shu, Tang and Han), Guo Shao had tens of millions of guan. Now, it has not been wasted all, and it is not enough to spend it!
Guo Shao glanced at her: Mrs. Chen, don’t be anxious first. These three million coins are not for free to the treasury; plus the cost of investing in the money house in the future, they will be considered as the investment and shareholding of each company. However, the merchants cannot exceed 49% of the shares at most. The remaining investment is the royal family. I will use the gold and silver coins of Dongdao to calculate it.
Chen Jiali blurted out: Since the national treasury is short of military expenditure, why does the royal family take up the majority?
Guo Shao smiled and said: When a bank lends, it is necessary to take into account the interests of the people. I can't trust the businessman's consciousness, as Mrs. Chen said, businessman values profit. Everyone in the world is doing everything, who doesn’t work for their own home? Mrs. Chen thinks, who can think about the people in this world?
Chen Jiali also smiled and said: Is it the emperor?
Guo Shao said without changing his face: That's right.Civil officials are greedy for money, military generals are greedy for merit, and businessmen are greedy for profit. But I live all over the world and have nothing to lack in my own family. As long as the country is, of course, I am willing to be strong in the country and the people are rich, so that the country can be permanently solid.
Chen Jiali still had a smile on her face, but she compliments her: Your Majesty is really a wise king, and the world is very lucky.
Those words were light and not very serious.
At this time, Guo Shao took a breath and said softly: I suddenly remembered a small thing.
Chen Jiali looked at Guo Shao with a serious look and took the opportunity to look at him.
Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said: When I was in vain, I had a good friend.The friend was very poor. When my mother passed away, she borrowed money to buy a cypress coffin.He said that my mother really couldn't let her live a good life when she was alive, and she would even need a good coffin when she died...
When Chen Jiali heard this, the smile on her face gradually disappeared.
Guo Shao said lightly: I was also very poor at that time, but I lent him money.Because I understand his feelings, it is a regret... I have also experienced such regrets.
Guo Shao smiled reluctantly at this point. In this life, I no longer have such regrets.But I still feel dissatisfied with it for some reason. What I can do now is to make everyone in the world less regrets.Let most people in the world eat and wear warmly, and those with ambition can live a good life.
After he finished speaking, several people in the palace fell silent. Even Zhou Xian, who was making tea, looked at Guo Shao with a strange look.
After a long time, Chen Jiali said in a strange voice: I am willing to take out all my wealth and try my best to convince other businessmen to participate in the shares.
At this time, the tea was served, and Guo Shao picked up a small cup. Mrs. Chen, please, trust me, I value integrity the most in my life, and the rules of the world are based on sincerity. The money will definitely be made back.
Chen Jiali whispered: It is not uncommon for a hero to be a hero. The most rare thing is that a saint has a pity.
……
In the hall on Shangjingshangang, a young teenager was holding a scepter and sat on a chair decorated with tiger skin beasts, and asked Xiao Siwen next to him: Is the news true?
Xiao Siwen said in a deep voice: There should be no mistake. My subordinates have already gained a foothold in the Tokyo Merchants Gang, and the envoys have also verified the news.Xu Guo wanted to use military force against Japan because he discovered that there was a silver mine in the Gushanyin sub-district of Japan.Judging from various signs, Xu's treasury is now empty, and even military expenses are starting to be raised from merchants. Now he may want to mine from Japan to fill the military expenses.
He paused and said: Not long ago, the envoy of Xu sent someone to meet the king of Japan and wanted to enthrone his king to make the king of the king and his subjects, but it seemed that he was rejected.With the practice of Tokyo's monarch and ministers being armed with military force, the court was angrily yelling to fight.Unfortunately, Japan seems to be unaware of this.
Yelu Xizhen said: I don’t know much about the East Island, but the small country in the East China Sea must be far from being a rival to the Xu State. The East China Sea is far away, and Xu State cannot use its strength even if it has strength.At this time, if Xu Guo’s military strength was trapped on the East Island or suffered a great loss there, it would be beneficial to the Great Liao.On the contrary, if Xu Guo succeeds successfully, his national strength will increase and the Liao Dynasty will become more dangerous!
The young Khan frowned and said: But the Liao Dynasty has never been good at boats and can't reinforce the East Island.What's more, the former Liao Dynasty suffered losses in reinforcement of the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han Dynasty) and Pingxia, and now all tribes may not be willing to do so.
Xiao Siwen said: The great khan is wise.The great troubles of the Great Liao Dynasty were Xu's country, and helping the enemy country of Xu was to plan for the Great Liao Dynasty.At present, the Great Liao Dynasty must not send troops to Dongdao. It can send envoys to bring letters of state to inform the Japanese and let them prepare early; it can also send those who are familiar with military affairs to guide the Japanese troops.
The great khan Yelu Xian obeyed Xiao Si's gentle words at this time, and immediately nodded and said: Who do you think is competent?
Xiao Siwen said: Yang Gun.
...After leaving the hall, Xiao Siwen immediately asked Yang Gun to come and discuss.
Yang Gun was stripped of a commoner because he had lost his troops and generals in Pingxia and saved his life. When he went to Xiao Siwen to see Xiao Siwen, he was wearing a piece of animal skin, without even wearing a hat, and was bald on his head.
The ups and downs of the world are unpredictable. Yang Gun was once a famous general and aristocrat in the Liao Kingdom. He had held thousands of troops and horses in his hands for many years. Now he has been taken away everything, and at first glance it looks like a herdsman.
Although he was miserable, he looked grateful when he saw Xiao Siwen: Fortunately, Mr. Xiao’s good words would not have been given to me!
Xiao Siwen said calmly: Although you have lost your troops and lost your generals, you are not bad at using your troops. It is because of your bad luck. I feel that General Yang is still a general of the Liao Dynasty, so I would be very sorry if I die.
After hearing this, Yang Gun pressed his hands on his chest and bowed to thank him.
Xiao Siwen said: However, the battle of Pingxia was very serious and one person would be punished. It is not unfair to General Yang be demoted and dismissed from office... Recently, there is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions due to crimes. General Yang should not let me down.
Yang Gun hurriedly asked: Can the low-level position be activated by the imperial court?
Xiao Siwen said calmly: Others are definitely unwilling to do this errand, after all, they have to risk their boats to go to East Island.But I am not at ease without a general's knowledge.
Yang Gun said in confusion: Mr. Xiao wants to send his humble post to Dongdao?
Xiao Siwen said: According to news from Tokyo, Xu State intends to use troops to seize the Japanese country's mine.The Khan and his ministers (mainly Xiao Siwen and Yelu Xizhen had the final say) agreed on two things: one was to warn the Japanese monarchs and ministers to prepare early, and the other was to recommend planning for their military preparations.
Over the past century, the Central Plains and Grassland wars have been going on for years, and the battle formation tactics have long changed. Japan is isolated overseas and cannot keep pace with the times. I feel that they will suffer a great loss when they face Xu Jun!Therefore, someone needs to give guidance to the real and the truth. Xu's military's gunpowder cannon attack cities and fire cannons are unique. General Yang has seen it and can remind the Japanese generals.
Yang Gun pondered endlessly. Isn’t there Japanese people on the East Island? Even if there are some guidance, can they fight Xu Jun?
Xiao Siwen said: Even if the Liao army had not participated in the war, the Japanese army was defeated, and it was not considered to be General Yang.As long as you are enabled, it is nothing more than a difference between credit and hard work.If there is no hard work, what noble is willing to go now?
Yang Gun gritted his teeth and said seriously: This life is saved by Mr. Xiao. As long as you give me instructions, I will go there even if I have a sword, fire and sea of fire!
Xiao Siwen said earnestly: Xu State is a big concern, General Yang must do his best in this matter.Another thing is that General Yang and others arrived at Dongdao to see the battle formation and could better understand Xu's tactics. If Liao and Xu start war again in the future, it will be of great benefit.
After hearing this, Yang Gun said, "What Mr. Xiao is thinking far away."
Xiao Siwen sighed: Guo's blacksmith is ambitious in fighting south and north, Hexi to the East China Sea, Youyun to the Southern Han Dynasty, and has expanded year by year. Liaoxi and Liaodong are rich in resources and will be regarded as a tiger.When this country is in danger of survival, I dare not ignore it!
Xiao Siwen personally prepared this matter and went to Beijing to meet envoys from Dongdao, but the court never sent anyone to cross the east and could not directly transfer the official ship.
Fortunately, private trade has not been cut off. Ginseng and medicinal materials from the old land of the Bohai Kingdom were the favorite things for Japanese merchants to buy; knives, screens, silk fabrics, etc. in Japan were also bought by the nobles of the Liao Kingdom.
Officials from the Liao Kingdom could only find merchants from both countries to assist in the matter, so Yang Gun and a few followers could only pretend to be merchants, mingle in the caravan, first crossing Goryeo, and then crossing the sea to Japan.
No wonder anyone with a certain status in the Liao Kingdom is unwilling to do this job, and there are real risks along the way.
Liao and Goryeo have not yet broken up, but the relationship is really not good. Because of the competition for the territory of Bohai Kingdom, the two countries have always been in harmony.
If the envoy was discovered by the Goryeo people, what would happen would be unpredictable.
Fortunately, the caravan is familiar with the road and knows many Koreans. The land route is quite smooth. When I arrive south of Korean, I have to change boats and cross the sea.
This is also something that the Khitans are extremely reluctant to do. They were originally riding horses on the grassland, and they rarely rode on the Su River. Suddenly they had to take a boat to cross the vast sea, which was just a work that they could do with their heads on.
The sea is not as good as land, because the merchant ship is not big and the construction is not solid. If you are not lucky enough to encounter big storms, you will have no choice but to do anything once the sea ship capsizes, which is extremely risky.
Yang Gun stood on the old deck and felt desolate for a moment. The shaking lonely boat and the endless sea water on all sides, he felt like he was like this boat, floating like duckweed, with a future uncertain.
Chen Jiali said: Please make clear.
I have confirmed that there are a large amount of silver mines on the East Island.Guo Shao said directly that as long as the imperial army opens up the sea route and gains a foothold on the East Island, it can obtain a large amount of gold, silver and copper ore.
