    "Not only for defending the city, it is also easier to use for ambushes. From a high position, a hundred guns are ready.  Tong Guandao: "Heavy artillery is inconvenient to transport, and this gun can make up for it.  Mr. Ou, this thing has a local effect.  " Ouyang Xi said: "Prince, according to the rules, please ask the Prince to sign the evaluation, and then we will set the price and submit it.  The weapons have all been produced by the Donglei Manufacturing Bureau, and Ouyang is selling patent rights.  Liang Guan shook his head: "Master Ou, I don't know. I am only responsible for the evaluation. The evaluation report must be submitted to the Privy Council, and the Privy Council will set the price. It is not the price set by the Lord.  "Who made the unlucky rules?  " "Zong Ze, Mr. Zong.   Tong Guan smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you should trust Mr. Zong's fairness. Right?" Ouyang smiled bitterly: "Of course I can. " "Master Zong also said that the Yangping Military Factory's gunpowder bid was too high.  Now we are sending people to evaluate the price of gunpowder in Yangping Military Factory starting from the cost of gunpowder materials and Yangping salary. The price will be reported to Your Majesty.  Tong Guan added: "Taking into account the sentiments of the old masters, Mr. Zong will apply to His Majesty to be sent as a bachelor of Zidian University, and the imperial court will also provide subsidies."  ¡± Coma, damn Zongze worked step by step, compressing his profit margin step by step. He also arranged the salary of technicians with the highest fluctuation. In this way, the price of gunpowder could be crushed. Ouyang felt that he hated an upright person like Zongze, and  Li Gang, and yourself. It¡¯s not like you helped Zong Ze as a logistics manager even though you knew he wouldn¡¯t care about it No matter how powerful you are, Lei Ze can only calculate the cost and profit margin.  While sleeping, someone happened to bring a pillow. An internal guard came into the hall and said, "Excuse me, my lords. The emperor has asked Mr. Ou to come into the palace to meet the emperor."   Ouyang was not in the mood to be here anyway, so he ordered: "Master, please accompany Mr. Tong to make the evaluation report." Zhao Yu only came to Ouyang for one thing, and that was that the treasury was empty.  Of course, there is still money now, but Zhao Yu scooped up a report: "This is done by the investment department of Liandai Yangping Bank. After their budget, according to Master Zong's needs and various expenditures, the national treasury will not be able to meet  "In other words, your Majesty has no money to invest." Ouyang Xingxin asked, "What do you mean?" "A few days ago, we discussed with Prime Minister Li and the Ministry of Household Affairs that the first way is to increase taxes, and the second way is to stop the Northwest Army.  Tax-free support. Method three can only save military expenses Zhao Yu shook his head: "The Alliance is unwilling to do any of the three methods. It happens that when you come to Tokyo, the Alliance will discuss it with you.  " No wonder Zongze tried his best to save money. It turned out that there was really no money in the treasury. Well, I think so. Zong Huizong left a mess, and there was not much left in the treasury. Zhao Yu exempted the southeast from taxes a few years before he came to power. Although business started  development, but the army began to be used in the northwest, and then the big project of building the Hangzhou Fleet was of course more terrible. Even Ouyang Xiaozhi County had two servants¡¯ commission money. Although a large sum of money was confiscated last year, Hebei East Road and  The Yongxing military route required money to upgrade, to stock up on military rations, to raise military horses, and to provide policy-based appeasement to the Tibetan minority tribes in Dali. However, there were many loopholes in commercial taxation, such as the privilege of recruiting people, which cost the national treasury a lot of money.  There are money laundering and other methods to transfer funds to avoid taxes, and there is no unified management of commercial taxation, so the national treasury is poor! Ouyang said: "Actually, there is another way, which not only does not affect people's livelihood, but also does not require loss of logistics supplies.  " Zhao Yuxi asked: "What can we do?   "Your Majesty can borrow money from Yangping Bank. " Zhao Yu was stunned: "Lian still wants to borrow money?"  " "Your Majesty, for example, your Majesty can borrow ten million yuan.  It will be repaid in three years. According to the most favorable loan, the total amount will be 120 million yuan.  Last year, the total tax revenue of the treasury seemed to be 30 million yuan. Your Majesty can just repay 40 million yuan every year.  And you don¡¯t have to pay it back in the first year.  Your Majesty sees that there will be no tax exemption on the south side of the Northwest Military Road next year. At that time, there will be at least 20 million in taxes and profits every year, and the national treasury will subsidize some, so it can be easily repaid.  " Zhao Yu thought about it and said, "Does this mean that we will scoop up the money from the future and spend it now?  Wellthis is a good suggestion.   "This requires the Ministry of Household Affairs to first determine the amount of money that must be spent. For example, if the expected income is one hundred guan, and the necessary amount of money for salary is 50 guan, then your majesty can calculate how much money to borrow and how many years to borrow.  Ouyang said: "In fact, there are historical records of kings borrowing money from the people. During the Warring States Period, King Nan of Zhou was weak and incompetent, but he had great ambitions. He planned to join forces with Chu, Yan and other countries to attack Qin, but he was worried about insufficient military pay, so he borrowed money from the rich in the country.  Unexpectedly, before the battle with Tai, the king of Zhou was afraid and retreated, and the loaned army salary had been spent on Cai. At this time, debt collectors gathered in front of the palace and yelled, which made him frightened.  , He was forced to hide in the high platform in the palace, and he did not dare to go down. Later generations called this platform the "debt escape platform." "Haha, I know that incompetent and courageous king."bsp; Ouyang said: "Your Majesty is a king who loves the people. He cannot bear to be like the Supreme Emperor, occupying four lands and imposing taxes, causing anger and resentment. Mobs break out several times a year. Doing what the Supreme Emperor does is tantamount to killing the goose that takes the egg. And His Majesty is borrowing money from the people.  It is true to what Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said: The people are like water, and the king is like a ship. Your majesty's love for the people is like a son, and your kindness will be known to all the world. And the people will not say that your majesty is silent. " Zhao Yudian.  The boss asked: "If Lian can't pay backwill we have to escape the debt?" This was her only worry.  "Of course not. The Song Dynasty has an annual fund of 30 million. As long as there is a detailed plan For example, the tax revenue from Hangzhou and Yangzhou will be used exclusively to repay the loan, such as tea tax revenue to repay the loan. As long as the plan is implemented, it will be  A good cycle. If your Majesty needs money, don't wait until the day when the world is at peace. Your Majesty just wants to spend money, but you may not have anywhere to spend it." "Well!" Zhao Yu said: "Send someone to tell Su Qianhehu.  "I'll see you in court." Ouyang asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the treasury is rich, the price of gunpowder" Zhao Yu said helplessly: "Lian Ye told Mr. Zong that you didn't spend the money on your private parts.  You also know his temper. The whole country is afraid of him, and he won't dare to scold you unreasonably, so the price of gunpowder will be lowered." "" Ouyang feels that Zhao Yu is getting more and more angry.  The better you are at using people, you really have nothing to say if you throw Zongze out.  Ouyang is not such an idiot that he wants to reason with the Zong boss.  But at least Zhao Yu agreed to borrow money from the private sector.  Don¡¯t underestimate this small step, but it is definitely a giant step for the Chinese people.  For thousands of years, except for the emperor who collapsed during the Warring States Period, when the treasury of any dynasty was empty, they would choose to use two methods: increase taxes or issue a large amount of worthless currency.  During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, he used a large amount of money to rob private capital.  The Chinese people have always been like this. When taxes are increased, they will say a few words. They don¡¯t know what the taxes are for. They just know very seriously: paying taxes is honorable.  But they don¡¯t want to think about why such glorious and good things happen to them?  This step is an important symbol of the prototype of capital, which indicates that Zhao Yu agrees with the privatization of capital to a certain extent.  On the one hand, the reason is also the growth of businessmen's power and contribution to the country. When dealing with these issues, the superiors will consider the attitude of businessmen because of the deepening of businessmen's influence.  "There is one more thing.  Zhao Yu said: "Lian heard a rumor that you and Princess Lan have close personal contact?  Aren't you worried that she will assassinate you again?  " "Back to Biping, it was Wei Chen who asked her to save someone.   "Save people?" Zhao Yu thought about it and understood: "It turns out that someone fell into the hands of the Jurchens. Who was it? "" Ouyang was thinking hard about whether to tell the truth. Zhao Yu saw the trick,  So he asked: "Who is it?  " Ouyang answered honestly: "Xue Bing!  " "Xue Bing?  The name sounds familiar.  Zhao Yu thought for a while, then shook his head and asked, "Who is he?"  " "Since Your Majesty doesn't remember, I don't need to ask."  Wei Chen will handle this matter.  " Zhao Yu didn't bother to ask about this: "Master Tong is about to be sent to the Kingdom of Jin as an imperial envoy. The Union has always thought that letting you sit idle in Yangping seems to be a waste of talent.  Why don't you go and do it for Lord Jutong" "Back to Your Majesty, Yangping is busy with government affairs and military factory affairs.  Zhan Ming took another half-year off and had to prepare for the football match" "If I don't go, I won't go.  Isn¡¯t Wanyan Aguda already dead?  Ouyang was surprised: "How does your Majesty know?"  " "Jin Shihe Lian said.  " Zhao Yu said: "Although we are now united with Jin to fight against Liao, you still have to restrain the Chamber of Commerce and control the goods sold to the Kingdom of Jin.  " Ouyang nodded: "Now the maritime business is basically handled by the Southeast Chamber of Commerce.  Wei Chen will explain to them.  Although these businessmen put their interests first, they all have patriotism.  " "Well, please step back!"  " After several secret meetings, the Song Dynasty finally sent Tong Guan as the imperial envoy. It is undeniable that Tong Guan is very good at figuring out the holy will. He had long understood that there was an essential gap between Zhao Yu and Song Huizong, and he flattered Zhao Yu.  Or the old trick of using favors to make friends with Zhao Yu and saying nice things is not feasible. What is feasible is the results. Like Ouyang, who has good grades and has not paid taxes for several years, but now he is still cheating.  Don't you know? It just doesn't matter. Tong Guan has always worked hard after leading the army, and he has indeed received a relatively high reward. Even Ouyang wants to be a follower.  Tong Guan, who thought he was about to lose his power, had a second spring after reaching the age of fifty. When Ouyang arrived at the door of the Zaozuo Bureau, he saw that Tong Guan was moved and greeted him warmly. He also sent someone to take Ouyang to Zaozuo in Tokyo.  ???Turned around.  After Tong Guan left, Ouyang took over the evaluation brief copied by the master's apprentice.  At a casual glance, one can tell that Tong Guan is in serious trouble.  The performance and power of some weapons are exaggerated, and the combat area of ??the weapons is increased.  Ouyang smiled and closed the briefing. This guy really knows how to behave.  According to the basis he said, no matter how stingy Zongze is, Ouyang can still make a fortune.  Although such people harm the country, Ouyang feels that he is more pleasing to the eye than Zongze.  Ouyang stayed in Tokyo for four days, and as he expected, Zongze had no intention of inviting him to dinner or entertaining him.  Although Zongze had withheld money, the patent rights for the weapon were sold for more than 2 million yuan. Although this requirement did not meet Ouyang's expectations, it was still quite satisfactory based on the current situation.  A box of blueprints was exchanged for two million pieces, which fully demonstrates that even in the Song Dynasty, the saying that science is productivity is true.  This trip, Ouyang was in a good mood.  But returning to Hinata is not beautiful.  Wan Yanlan had returned to the Song Dynasty and asked Jin Da to hand over a letter to Ouyang, which said: Xue Bing will go crazy after the new year, and no one will make it difficult for him anymore. She has sent someone to take care of Xue Bing's daily life, which can be regarded as fulfillment of her promise.  Ouyang was very angry. On the one hand, he was angry with the Jurchens for their methods, and on the other hand, he was angry that Zhao Yu had forgotten who Xue Bing was.  Because of the common experience, they also have the grace to sacrifice their lives to save lives.  Ouyang decided that no matter what, he had to get Xue Bing back. Even if he brought back a corpse, his soul would return to his homeland.  Ouyang immediately found the Si family¡¯s liaison in Yangping and asked him to bring a letter to Mr. Si.  The content of the letter hopes that the Si family can bring Xue Bing back to Yangping.  The condition is that he will find all the shareholders in need to recommend Si Jia to join the Chamber of Commerce Alliance and become a seat member.  At the end of May, Mr. Si wrote a personal reply saying that he would definitely rescue Xue Bing.  In June, Zhan Ming came back.  He immediately made an appointment with Ouyang without returning home.  "Sir, we are in big trouble." "What trouble is it? Don't worry, tell me slowly." Zhan Ming said: "Sir, I followed Jin Da three times in the past six months and found that he went to Xiaotailing very frequently. And there was a lot of people nearby.  It will last for ten days or even half a month. ""Little Qinling?" Ouyang thought about it and said, "That's a place for gold, iron and coal mining." Xiaoqinling is about five hundred miles west of Tokyo, with three prefectures nearby.  The vastness of seven states.  Mainly underground work.  Produce gold, iron and coal.  "Your Majesty is right." Ouyang said: "There are many female laborers over there. Did Jin Da go to visit them? Didn't Wan Yanlan say he cared about them a lot before? I also said hello to the Chamber of Commerce."  "Sir, there are not a lot of Jurchen workers over there, but a large number of Jurchen workers. Do you still remember that Wan Yanlan came to you a few years ago and asked to open up the smuggling trade to gold?" Ouyang nodded: "Remember, at that time, because of  Labor is scarce in the northwest, so the Jin Kingdom sent 20,000 young men and we also gave them a large amount of supplies. " "Now these 20,000 people are in Xiaoqinling," Zhan Ming whispered, "The women in Xiaokanling.  The number of real people has reached more than 40,000, and in the past two years, more and more Jurchen labor has been exported to the Song Dynasty. Don¡¯t you find it strange?¡± ¡°It does seem a bit strange, don¡¯t you.  Would you say these people are going to riot?" Ouyang laughed and said, "That's a bit unfounded. It's impossible for 40,000 Jurchens to keep the secret. I haven't heard anything about Wu Qimai.  He is a more pragmatic emperor. Since he evacuated Tokyo and plundered the population, there will naturally be fewer people and more people. It is possible to let them come to work to make some extra money. "Zhan Ming said: "If I want to do this kind of thing, I will definitely do it.  The secret will not be told to all the Jurchens, but as long as forty or a hundred loyal people are inserted in advance, the Song people will regard the Jurchen workers as inferior to pigs and dogs, and the accumulated grievances will wait until the time comes.  If everyone joins forces and fights, the front may reach Tokyo. Also, the workers of Goryeo, Liao, Japan, and Luo will hate the Song people to death if they respond to the riots Sir, there are 100,000 forbidden troops in the surrounding area besides Tokyo.  In addition, most of the other Xiang troops were working people, no different from the common people Ouyang thought as he said: "We, the Song Dynasty, joined forces with the Jin Dynasty to attack the Liao Dynasty. When the war was in full swing, the Jurchens suddenly turned their guns and pierced our Song Dynasty Hebei.  .  The Liao people will definitely not embarrass the Jurchens at this time, and it is very likely that they have already had a secret meeting to reach a consensus, which will form a one versus two situation.  At this time, there was a fire in the backyard and a crisis in Tokyo.  If you send troops to save yourself, Jin Liao will march straight in.  If we don't send troops to save ourselves, Tokyo will fall and the emperor will become the king of subjugation.  The area near Tokyo is not only rich, but also has a manufacturing bureau and a Yangping Military Factory.  There was no one in the Song Dynasty, and Yue Fei and Han Shizhong didn't know whether to choose to return to the army or to protect the country.  In addition, logistics is cut off, and firearms production is controlled by the enemy. Every time one person is delayed" Ouyang took a breath: "This conspiracy is really poisonous.  I had known that the Jurchens were insidious, but I didn't expect them to be so insidious.  If you have the courage and LiaoThe country turns war into jade and silk, and with one desperate blow, we can easily carve up our land in the Central Plains.  " "Sir, I often say that there are no eternal enemies, but now everyone knows the ambitions of the Song Dynasty.  So they played a trick to survive.  Zhan Mingtong: "But we have no evidence" "Do you need evidence for this kind of thing?" Ouyang frowned: "Tong Guan should have signed the cooperation document by this time, and the deployment of troops for my main attack on the three-way forbidden army has also been completed.  I told the Jurchens. The most important thing now is whether Liao and Jin have cooperated. If we do it now, we will be at a huge disadvantage. "I believe it will be difficult for Liao and Jin to cooperate. At least we have time to prepare."  Said: "Even if Jin and Liao jointly go south, our Song Dynasty still has the power to defend. If we have to find out whether they cooperate first, I'm afraid the situation will be more difficult to deal with in the future." Ouyang nodded and said: "Then there is still a difficulty, how to deal with it.  If the Jurchens from the Little Qinling Mountains were to send out the Forbidden Army, the leaders would definitely realize that they were exposed and then rise up to greet them. Unless they could send out a hundred thousand border guards to surround them, it would be difficult for them to win based on their familiarity with the terrain.  Looking for 100,000 forbidden troops?  Due to preparations for war in the north, a small number of forbidden troops have been accumulated in the south and border areas. Zhan Ming added: "Not only Xiaoqinling, there are Jurchen workers in various industries.  Xiao Qinling is just more concentrated.  Wanyanlan is traveling to the Song Dynasty, and she has the status of a princess, so it shouldn't be too easy to contact her.  With an order, smoke spread everywhere, and the world would be in chaos.  Songjiang's 10,000 people had been chopped to pieces for more than a year, but they had grown from 36 to 10,000, not to mention these Jurchens who regarded their lives as nothing.  Twenty thousand people dare to fight 700,000 people. What kind of courage.  Not to mention the Xiang Army, even the Tokyo Forbidden Army may not be their opponent, unless it is the Northwest Military Road and Yongxing Military Road.  "These two routes have fought, and the Yongxing Army has fought hard and bloody battles. Its will is only stronger than that of the Northwest Army. "You cannot mobilize the border troops, otherwise they will riot first.  "(If you want to know what happened, please log in, and support the truth!)
