Chapter 712

For the next two hours, Guo Ning, Xu Ding, and Jia She discussed repeatedly, but none of them left the house of the Imperial College.

It wasn't until late at night that the three of them rested separately, but after Guo Ning returned to his mansion, he stared at the huge map hanging on the wall for a long time.Until Lu Han put the baby Guo Jing to sleep and came out to visit her husband.

"Huaidong? Huaixi?"

Following Guo Ning's line of sight, Lu Han saw two areas on the map located in the south of the area controlled by the Ding Navy.Then she noticed that among the densely distributed cities, mountains, and rivers on the two land boundaries, there were two more place names heavily circled by the ink pen.

"Zhenzhou? Anqing Mansion?"

Lu Han asked: "Are these two places very particular?"

Guo Ning stared at the two place names, and after a while, he sighed: "Ahan, I feel very bad today."

This remark spread quickly, but Lu Han was used to Guo Ning's occasional escapism, so he followed his husband's lead and asked, "Could it be that Jia She's treacherous behavior angered you? He is from the Southern Dynasty." , which is quite different from the vigorous demeanor of our Northern Han children."

"It's not to provoke you, Ah Han. I feel that I was humiliated by him..."

"How dare this guy? Could it be that he's tired of working?"

Lu Han scolded angrily, and then asked: "You can't hold back your anger and kill him, right? I heard a few days ago that this man seems to be quite talented, and you plan to use it for yourself. Could it be that you feel that right now? , is it a pity to kill him?"

"Not killed! Ah Han, I am also a fastidious person now, and I am not on the battlefield, how can I kill people easily! However, there are indeed many talents in the Southern Dynasty. A mere county magistrate can actually achieve this level..." Guo Ning murmured: "Ah Han, this fellow gave me a favor today, using it to bribe me not to send troops to the Southern Dynasties in the short term."

"You agreed? The crew is training, the ship is also being built, and Li Yun has already gone to the Southern Dynasty to answer. Can this matter be stopped? No need to discuss with Jin Qing, the others, and the generals Down?"

Lu Han looked at Guo Ning's expression, and asked again: "I'm afraid the benefits of being able to buy you are not trivial?"

Guo Ning nodded heavily.

"Did it give you the blueprint of the navy and warship of the Southern Dynasty? Or did it help you get through the relationship with Qingyuan Mansion in Mingzhou or the Ship Department in Fuzhou? Or..."

Lu Han's expression changed a bit: "He contacted the rest of the Red Coat Army and told you that Yang Miao is really whereabouts? This is really..."

"What is this called!"

Guo Ning yelled, and immediately hugged Lu Han's waist, letting her sit in his arms.

After Lu Han gave birth, she became much plumper, and after all, she has lived a much better life in the past two years. Her neck, which is exposed outside the double-breasted collar, is very smooth and has a fragrance.Guo Ning sniffed it, and exerted some strength in his arms to make his wife's back and buttocks stick tighter to him.

"It's money. This guy took a lot of money to buy me off, and he also promised to continue to give money starting next year."

Lu Han slightly twisted his body to make himself sit more comfortably.She turned her head and said with a smile: "How much? Can you be happy like this?"

"Did you see the two place names on the map? Huaidong Zhenzhou has a Zhenzhou Supervisor, and Huai'an Qingfu has Tong'an Supervisor and Susong Supervisor."

"Sounds like a Qian Jian from the Southern Dynasty."

"These places were the places where coins were minted when the Song State was founded in the Southern Dynasty. Later, with the decline of the Song State, a lot of them were abandoned. But until the Shaoxing period, coins were still produced on a large scale. Jia She said that he returned to Lin'an In the future, he will seek military and political positions in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, and at the same time serve as an officer in charge of Quansi. If Shi Miyuan wants to use him to control the army composed of reformed people, he will definitely open a small hole in finance. He won this position, If we gather the few money censors that were closed during the Shaoxi period of the Southern Dynasty, and the money-making artisans who have nowhere to go, we can quickly increase the output of these few money censors, and after half a year, they can double."

"How much is doubled? This is the money supervisor of the Song Dynasty, can we still have our share in the production?"

"Well, we really have our share."

Guo Ning said: "Jia She proposed a very detailed plan, claiming that half a year is enough to get through the joints and establish his family's position in Lianghuai; in addition, he can easily reach a tacit understanding with the Southern Dynasty Prime Minister Shi Miyuan. After everything is arranged properly, From April next year at the latest, [-]% of the monthly output of these three money supervisors will be ours. And it will be shipped directly across the border and delivered to us."

"Fifty percent? How much is fifty percent? Don't be tricky, just tell me."

"About [-] per month."

"So much? 60 guan per month, isn't that [-] guan per year?" Lu Han was taken aback and jumped out of Guo Ning's arms.

60 copper coins is really too huge a number.The Ding Navy's income from sea trade and salt administration seems to be over tens of millions, but because of the lack of copper mines in the north and the small amount of coins, most of them are collected in kind.Compared with the current material throughput, Guo Ning's mining and metallurgy family property saved in Shandong is really insignificant. Even if there is output, it will flow out in multiple links after changing hands.

The 60 guan is real money, a net income without any loss!

Every year, 60 coins are newly collected in the treasury, and Dinghai can issue banknotes five times or even ten times the denomination, which can be used as 300 million to 600 million coins in the territory of Daikin, and it can also maintain the currency value. Stable, normal circulation!

The situation where the navy spends money like water and the old foundation is always empty will be greatly relieved immediately!

"Why can't 60 coins be used to buy?"

Lu Han's eyes were scattered, as if he saw 60 copper coins in front of him, piled up into a golden hill.After a while, she asked, "What did Jia She buy with this money? Is it just that we will not send troops to the Southern Dynasty for now?"

"Buy us to do three things. First, the peace talks between the Jin and Song Dynasties remain as before, and neither will move troops. Our army has moved south. This guy first destroyed the mines and mints. Regardless of the outcome of the war, The 60 coins per year will be gone in no time. Second, we implore us not to formally send envoys Song Guoxing to toss about the name of the country of uncles and nephews or the country of uncles and nephews before we decide the outcome with the false emperor on Nanjing Road. For the official amount of old coins, Song State will divide one part into two, and each of the two parties will get half of it, and no one will be offended."

Having said that, Guo Ning shook his head and laughed twice.

Lu Han immediately understood: "The first two things are that the Southern Dynasty will add a little to the missing part of the old coin, and then secretly give it to us, so as not to entangle the names in the court and cause troubles. In addition, Shi Miyuan will also gain A channel for communicating with us in private is very beneficial for him to grasp the direction of the court. This move has earned Song Guo's face. What is the third thing, I am afraid it is a bit absurd?"

"This guy made a suggestion that, for the sake of 60 Guan, if the false emperor on Nanjing Road threatens the Song and Huaihe Rivers, we have to make countermeasures on Shanxi East and West Roads to attract the enemy's troops. , to ensure the safety of Da Song."

Lu Han was stunned for a while, then slowly said: "You seemed to say that you planned to subdue Jia She as an internal response to go south to attack the Song State. According to this statement, it seems that Jia She subdued you with 60 guns, as a response to the Song Dynasty. Guo is the companion of the nursing home in the north."

"So I feel like I've been humiliated face to face..."

Guo Ning let out a long sigh: "But if this guy really succeeds, it will be a benefit of 60 guan per year! If I get this benefit, I will let the Song people go for a year or two, so what? Tomorrow I plan to send someone to invite Jin Mr. Qing discussed together, as long as the big difference is not bad, we still put the actual interests first."

Once the husband and wife discuss serious matters, they immediately ignore the charming and tender.Even if they were sitting in one place, their expressions turned serious.

Lu Han walked back and forth in the hall, thinking about it and said: "At the time when we were too busy, if we really could get 50 guan, many major events could be advanced steadily. When our own strength is strong, it will be like destroying everything if we don't accept it." However, I'm afraid that doing so will give Jia She too much room to maneuver..."

"How much leeway does he have? Even if he has any ideas, the mother and the youngest son are in my hands, and Li Yun shows up from time to time, enough to hold him hostage..."

"No no, if this matter is done, Jia She's identity between the two families will be recognized by both of them. This person clearly still has a heart for the Song Dynasty, and he is so slippery and wise. With such conditions , will definitely be able to manage a considerable situation. Besides, he also understands your thoughts, so he offered 60 guan as a condition, trying to delay you for a year or two... I can guarantee that if you lead the army to fight against Song If the country fights against each other, there will be twists and turns on him."

What was thought to be a brilliant plan, is now gradually going astray?

Guo Ning couldn't help but tugged at his mustache again, and sighed: "I take Zhou as my country name, and I have a good intention, but it's a pity that it's been too long, and I can't scare the scholars. Otherwise, I'd better kill him."

The interaction between the northern Han regime and the Southern Song Dynasty is a bit difficult to deduce.It's a big job, and it's been a long time since I laid the groundwork, but I can't fit it into the story...Let me think carefully.

In addition, the actual situation of minting coins in the Southern Song Dynasty was much more complicated. For example, there were no copper coin supervisors at all in Huaidong and Huaixi Roads, and most of the copper materials were produced in Jiangnan East Road and Guangnan East Road, including Raozhou and Xinzhou.The money supervisors in Huaidong and Huaixi, including Zhenzhou Supervisor and Tong'an Supervisor, all paid iron money.According to the numbers recorded in "Shui Xin Ji".The total output in ten years is 400 million guan; according to Volume 48 of "Two Dynasties Shengzheng", the total iron money is 50 guan every year.

There are also various records about coin casting in the history of the Song Dynasty. It is said that during the Zhenzong period, 105 million copper coins and 21 iron coins were minted every year; in the late Northern Song Dynasty, nearly 300 million coins were minted every year; A record of [-] yuan, and so on and so on.

I'm lazy and don't want to subdivide it... Whether it's copper or iron, it's all money anyway.
