Liang Shi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "According to the rules, there are money, cloth, ginseng, fur, and some beads produced by the sea."
Kou Ji asked: "How much is it worth?"
"About 70,000 Kan..."
"..."
According to the current rules of the Song Dynasty, among the vassal vassals, the value of the annual tribute to the vassal princes below the sovereign is more than 100,000 guan.
The reason why Han Di gave less was because Zhao Zhen allocated part of it to his daughters as the case money.
"Seven thousand, no more, no less is just right."
Kou Ji smiled and said: "But if you look at it carefully, it should still be a disadvantage for the officials. The academic palace my grandfather built, although it was only the core part, would cost more than a million Guans."
Liang Shi couldn't laugh or cry: "Kou Gong's academy is built once, but we have to pay tribute every year. It's different."
Kou Ji glanced at Liang Shi, and said in an angry tone: "You don't lose money when you pay tribute every year. The tribute is the foundation to stabilize the border city. As long as the tribute is there, the border city is there. Every year, just the border city. It can bring a large amount of business tax to Korea, far more than Sui Gong.
After you go back, let Tianci learn from Bohai Mansion and set up some docks on the beach.
One is to provide convenience for fishermen.
The second is to provide convenience for the navy.
The third is to absorb past merchants.
The sea is a treasure, as long as we learn to use it, we will earn more.
So don't look at the 70,000 Kanan. "
Border Market is really an amazing thing.
Let’s talk about the border market that was opened long ago by the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom.
The Song Dynasty donated more than 200,000 pennies to the Liao State every year, expressing surrender to the Liao State, and at the same time opened the door of the Liao State and established trade with the Liao State.
The Song Dynasty donated more than 200,000 guan to the Liao Kingdom every year, but through the border market, he could earn back ten times.
The Liao State seemed to have taken over 200,000 tributes, which was a big advantage.
But I didn't know that more private assets flowed to the Song Dynasty.
Therefore, it is difficult to say who will lose and who will gain the advantage when opening the door and opening the border market with the annual tribute.
In the history books, Li Yuanhao probably saw this after he established Xixia, so he decisively closed the border markets of Xixia and Song Dynasty.
But most of the land in Xixia is very barren, and a large area of land is desert.
So output can never keep up with demand.
Finally, the border market had to be reopened.
The coins that the Da Song gave to Xixia were nothing more than Xixia folk money flowed into the Da Song, and then Da Song collected almost 70% to 80% of the commission, and then gave the rest to Da Song.
It's just a bad name.
If it weren't for Xixia and Liao Kingdoms to often launch wars and plunder from the Song Dynasty through wars.
They are estimated to be killed by Da Song through the border market.
After all, the merchants of Xixia and Liao were not rivals of the merchants of the Song Dynasty. Da Song merchants can often get high-value things from Xixia and Liao at very low prices.
For example, a pottery pot replaces a sheep.
The same is true of Hanji's deal with Dasong nowadays.
It's just that both parties charge taxes.
Both parties are smart people doing the transaction.
There is no price deception, nor is there a low sale of good things.
So the transaction is fairer.
Korea has a small population, low demand, and abundant products.
Da Song has a large population, high demand, and abundant products.
In the transaction between the two parties, Korea will take advantage of a little bit.
After listening to Kou Ji's words, Liang Shi hurriedly bowed and said, "The old prince taught..."
Kou Ji waved his hand to Liang Shi, "Go down and rest. I will send someone to hand over the letter of credence to the official family. On New Year's Eve, you will go directly to the palace to meet you with someone.
You can walk around Bianjing City to see what Han Di lacks, and you can buy some to take back. "
Liang Shi nodded solemnly.
After Liang Shi went down, Kou Ji ordered the people to send the letter of credence written by Kou Tianci into the palace.
Then walked to the study by himself.
As soon as I entered the study door, I saw where Liu Heng was sitting.
"Something?"
Kou Ji asked.
Liu Heng nodded solemnly, "Bo Xu was almost emptied..."
Kou Ji frowned, "You haven't seen anyone in the past two days. Did you soak in the post house to learn about Bo Xu's current situation with the people from Dongyang?"
Liu Heng nodded solemnly.
Kou Ji sat next to Liu Heng and asked, "Tell me carefully, why is Bo Xu being emptied?"
Liu Heng gritted his teeth and said: "Those big Confucianists deceived Boxu's youth and wanted to take all the power of Xiyang."
Kou Ji frowned and said, "Since he is a great Confucian, he should teach, and he should not interfere in government affairs."
Liu Heng stared at him and said, "The people under me killed half of them, which is considered to have suppressed their thoughts. But I am afraid that they will come back."
Kou Ji asked, "Are there any other questions?"
Liu Heng nodded and said: "The people under me are all clubs, they only know how to fight and kill, they don't understand the rule of culture, and they don't know how to manage. Those big Confucians are only fighting for power.
Therefore, Bo Xu could not start the situation in Xiyang for a long time. "
Kou Ji thought for a while and said, "You can go back."
Liu Heng shook his head and said: "The soldiers and horses are in Bo Xu's hands, and they can't get over the big waves. As long as those people make changes, Bo Xu will kill. I need some trustworthy people to help Bo Xu open the situation, by the way Help Bo Xu run Xiyang."
Kou Ji said solemnly: "Are you really not going to see?"
Liu Heng shook his head again, "As long as there are soldiers in his hand, it is enough to deter everyone. There are not many Song people who have migrated to Xiyang, so most of Xiyang are Japanese.
Japanese people admire strength, as long as my strength is always the strongest, they will consciously kneel under my knees.
Zhong Shiheng is a smart man, as long as you and I are still alive, he dare not hit Bo Xu's idea.
So I just need to send some trustworthy people to help Boxu open up the situation. "
This is the gap in the background.
Although Liu Heng has accumulated some foundation over the years, he has no way to compare with other companies.
Adding to the fact that Liu's people were killed by Zhao Zhen for a while, the background is even less.
The same generals, Zhu Neng, Gao Chugong, and Li Zhaoliang are not short of people.
Kou Ji thought about it, "The steward of the Bamboo Academy and the former steward of the Kou Mansion, although they are not big talents, they are more than enough to be staff.
If Bo Xu wanted to rule Xiyang, he could not use the hands of others.
So what he needs is an assistant, not a king.
The two people in my house used to be Bo Xu’s staff, and they will definitely help Bo Xu open up the situation.
You can also copy a copy of the decree used by the Kou family in Korea and let them take it to Bo Xu for reference.
I transferred another group of business managers to help Boxu start Xiyang's business. "
Liu Heng nodded solemnly when he heard the words.
The butler of Kou Mansion, that is not a small role.
Neither the former Kou Zhong nor the current Kou Fu and Kou Min are simple roles.
They may not have enough confidence to sit in front of others.
But they live behind the scenes and make suggestions, and they are definitely better than ordinary officials in the court.
It was more than enough to help Liu Boxu govern Xiyang.
The most important thing is to be faithful and reliable.
Seeing Liu Heng nodded in agreement, Kou Ji continued: "You write another letter to Bo Xu, telling Bo Xu that those disobedient Confucian scholars don't use it.
Let them teach, let the trilogy of Liu Mansion stare.
Cut it if there is any change.
Other scholars can choose and use it.
The first is loyalty, and the second is ability.
The majority of Han Chinese under his family.
The Japanese cannot exceed 30%.
It is necessary to encourage the Han Chinese who had been with Boxu to have more children with the local widows.
Use warm water to boil frogs and squeeze those Japanese men. "
Liu Heng hesitated: "Bo Xu has only 10,000 Han soldiers, but Japanese soldiers 50,000. If they are squeezed too hard, will they make them rebel?"
Kou Ji said with a grim expression: "Just give them knives, don't give them armours, disrupt them and assign them to places, let them help you squeeze other Japanese.
I believe they will do better than us.
The soldiers and horses in Bo Xu's hands are equipped with horses, swords, and armors.
Its first task is to guard Bo Xu.
The second is to select those unowned Japanese and female children from among the Japanese people from all over the world.
As long as they can make widows pregnant with their children, those wives can become their wives.
It is supported in the city and paid for by the palace.
And put the widows and children in the city.
Distribute other people outside the city.
Let them work, pay heavy taxes, and support those widows and children. "
Liu Heng stood up suddenly, his eyes widened, "Then they are not all turned?"
Kou Ji smiled coldly and said: "I will send 10,000 iron armors from South Korea to Xiyang to help you. If they work safely, they can survive, and they will be killed if they are uneasy to work."
Liu Heng was relieved when he heard that Kou Ji was about to dispatch 10,000 armored armors to help.
Liang Shi didn't know the details of Han Di's soldiers and horses, but Liu Heng knew it clearly.
Don't look at them as ordinary local soldiers after they arrived in Handi, weak and pitiful.
It was because they had removed their usual armor and armaments and replaced them with ordinary armaments.
When they put on the iron armor, took up the steel knives, and put on the muskets on their backs, all of them were fierce soldiers.
They haven't experienced much practice since they enlisted in the army.
Because they have been running around on the battlefield.
Liu Heng knew exactly what the Japanese bird was like.
Not to mention 10,000 patrol guards, 3,000 patrol guards are enough to fight from the east of Xiyang to the west of Xiyang.
Liu Heng stood there, thought for a long time, stared at Kou Ji and asked, "Can't we absorb Japanese people?"
Kou Ji shrugged his shoulders and smiled calmly: "Of course, if a widow can give birth to two baby girls, she can live with the baby girls in the city."
Liu Heng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "You are going to die out."
Kou Ji asked in return: "Is it okay? If you are a low Han in Xiyang, it will be very easy for you to manage it."
Liu Heng stared straight at Kou Ji and said: "I always feel that it is not that simple. I feel that your heart is full of maliciousness towards the Japanese. The Japanese are already very humble, like a slave. Why are you so hostile to the Japanese
That kind of cartilage is worthy of your hostility
Now you, just need to say something, I don't want to see that there are Japanese woren living in this world, then there will be no more Japanese woren in this world. "
Kou Ji stared at Liu Heng and asked, "I am so murderous?"
Liu Heng rolled his eyes and said, "There is no Shazhou Huihe in the world. Do you think you are very murderous?"
Kou Ji said with a true face: "I actually don't have any malice towards the Japanese. I just think that the Japanese bones are too soft. If this habit continues, it will not be convenient for Bo Xu to rule Xiyang.
You don't want the soldiers and horses led by your children and grandchildren to kneel at the sight of people, right? "
Liu Heng hesitated for a moment, and said frankly: "If the soldiers and horses on the ground really kneel when they see someone, then I will probably crawl out of the coffin angrily."
Kou Ji opened his hands and said, "So, while we are still alive, we should solve this problem as soon as possible. Lest we die and our children and grandchildren will not be able to solve it.
The reason why I used this method with the Japanese was also for the sake of Bo Xu.
After all, as Bo Xu's uncle, I am full of worries when I think of the soldiers and horses that Bo Xu will lead afterwards. "
Liu Heng is not a mother-in-law. After weighing the pros and cons through Kou Ji's words, he decisively gritted his teeth and said: "Then do it... When your soldiers arrive in Xiyang, do it immediately."
After saying this, Liu Heng looked at Kou Ji and said, "It's just that there are not many Han Chinese in Xiyang. It will take a long time for them to combine with Japanese women and have children."
Kou Ji rolled his eyes and said, "A living person can still suffocate the urine? You can let them participate in the soldiers who escorted the silver mines between Da Song and the Japanese Kingdom.
You can also get a few big boats, from my Dasong to carry some men who want to go to the country of Japan.
The widows can rush to my Dasong to ask for a seed, and the people of my Dasong can also come to send seeds.
When they go to Xiyang, they will bring goods and money to Xiyang.
Xiyang can't open a border market like Korea, but it can trade by sea. "
Liu Heng gritted his teeth, pounded his chest, and said, "It's still a bit slow..."
Kou Ji said angrily: "The Zhenbei Army and the Zhennan Army are now full, and the number is 50,000. I will go back to discuss with the official and Yang Wenguang. Let them go back and forth to Xiyang every three years and make a long voyage. Let's practice, let's go ahead.
Let the Zhenbei Army go first, and then let the Zhennan Army go again when the Zhenbei Army comes back.
At that time, let Bo Xu submit a letter of credence and set a ten-year time limit.
Ten years, at least three times, at most four times.
After four times, it was almost the same. "
Liu Heng was overjoyed, "This is the best way. If the fighting men in the Zhenbei Army and the Zhennan Army have left their seeds in Xiyang, they might even go to Xiyang to settle down after they are discharged from the army."
Kou Ji sighed and said, "That is inevitable. We, the descendants of Yanhuang and Huang, have a high regard for their descendants. Before this method was implemented in Hexi, a lot of fighting men were left behind."
Liu Heng smiled at Kou Ji and said, "Anyway, some of them have been fighting and staying in the army, and there is no time to become biological children.
We can also be regarded as helping them solve their worries. "
Kou Ji glanced at Liu Heng and said, "This matter can only be done, not said. After you say it, it will not be good for your Liu family's reputation."
Liu Heng said indifferently: "My Liu family is already rooted in Xiyang, the emperor of the mountain is high, what do you want to be famous for."
Kou Ji exhorted to Liu Heng: "When you look back, you must tell Bo Xu in your letter to Bo Xu. You should be tough. It is best to let Japanese males die within ten years."
Liu Heng solemnly said: "Bo Xu doesn't need to intervene in this matter. He is still a child. I will tell my trilogy that they have methods to make those Japanese males die unknowingly."
Kou Ji nodded.
Most of the trilogy under Liu Heng's hand were produced by the Imperial City Division, and I don't know how many times he used the method of extinction.
It shouldn't be difficult to let those Japanese males die silently.
"Hey... I'm old and soft... I feel guilty in my heart when I come up with this idea. I have to go to the temple and worship, hoping that the Buddha can wash away my sins."
Kou Ji said with a face.
Liu Heng said with a look of contempt: "You almost wiped out the Buddhist school, did you tell me you believe in Buddha?"
Kou Ji calmly said: "I just decided to believe in Buddhism."
Liu Heng resolutely said: "I am even more convinced that you are malicious to the Japanese. Although I don't know where your malice against the Japanese comes from, I will know sooner or later."
Kou Ji took a pitying look at Liu Heng. He wanted to tell Liu Heng that if he didn't tell the truth, Liu Heng would never know it in his life.
The Japanese invaded the Central Plains and probably killed more than 10 million people.
Kou Ji is a kind person, and he is not willing to commit more evils.
Isn't it too much to go back half
It's just that the Japanese people in Xiyang, men and women, old and young, add up, I'm afraid they won't make up half of them.
Do you want to instigate Zhong Shiheng to follow Xiyang's approach
Can you tell the Korean navy to come and help
Liu Heng asked for someone from Kou Ji, and he wanted to help Bo Xu open up the situation and manage Xiyang, and he rushed to do it.
Before the end of the Chinese New Year, I started to prepare.
In the bamboo courtyard, Kou Ji met with Chong Shiheng, Zhu Neng, Cao Qi, Gao Chugong, Li Zhaoliang, Cao Yili and others who were sent to pay tribute to Bianjing.
Almost all are their nephews.
When I saw Kou Ji, I almost wanted everything.
Zhong Shiheng hopes that Kou Ji can provide him with shipbuilding skills and firearms.
Zhu Neng hoped that Kou Ji could provide him with firearms and iron ore.
Cao Qi wanted shipbuilding and firearms.
Li Zhaoliang wants iron ore and firearms.
Gao Chu Gong was a little surprised over there.
The lofty place is gone.
When Gong's grandson in the high place rushed to the city of Bianjing to meet him, he died forever.
Gao Chugong's grandson and Gao Weizhao's son, Gao Chengyi burst into tears after seeing Kou Ji.
Because of Gao Gong's title, it fell on Gao Weizhao's body early.
So Gao Chugong died, Gao Weizhao couldn't send someone to Bianjing to report the funeral, so he could only let his son Gao Chengyi quietly ventilate with Kou Ji, Zhao Zhen and other insiders when he saw him.
Kou Ji looked at Gao Chengyi, who was distraught before his eyes, and sighed: "Your grandfather has only left my Da Song for a year, how come..."
Gao Chengyi choked and said, "My grandfather has been running around on the battlefield all the year round, and his whole body has already been scarred. In such a mild place as Bianjing, he can naturally support it.
But when he arrived in the cold Northland, he immediately fell ill.
My grandfather stayed on the bed for more than half a year, and finally went.
Before leaving, I entrust my father to hand his letter to you.
He has something to tell you. "
As Gao Chengyi spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and placed it in front of Kou Ji.
Kou Ji looked at the familiar handwriting on the letter, a little sorrowful.
In front of him unconsciously appeared the old man with a breath of beating wherever he went.
When the old guy was in the Song Dynasty, he really wanted to mix everything, and everything was in the wrong place, and he almost tossed himself to death.
Finally saved an old life, got a prince, before he could enjoy it, it was gone.
It's really good luck.
Kou Ji picked up Gao Chu Gong's letter and opened it carefully.
There are six letters in the letter, Gao Chugong used two to describe the merits of the Gao family to the Song Dynasty, and two more to describe his merits to the Song Dynasty.
The last two, one tells about the very bad weather in the Northland.
One asks Kou Ji for help.
I beg Kou Ji to help a group of Gao family based on the past love, so that the Gao family can live in the extremely cold Northland.
The things I ask for from a high place are very simple.
The method of Kou’s tent, steel, firearms, cotton.
Kou Ji finished reading Gao Chu’s dying plea, put down his letter, and said to Gao Chengyi, who was crying: “Gao lives in the North. Except for one or two rooted cities, tents are a necessity.
I can agree to your grandfather's request for a tent.
The north is extremely cold, and cotton is indeed a good thing to keep out of the cold.
But compared to leather jackets, maybe it's a little bit worse.
You should have enough leather jackets.
But when your grandfather mentioned cotton when he was dying, I just agreed on the basis of my old love.
Every April, the imperial court will send people to the border market, the price can be 10% lower than the market price, a total of 50,000 catties, sold to your high family.
As for iron materials and firearms, I can't agree.
Iron materials are government-run. If I sell iron materials privately, it is collaborating with the enemy.
Although the Gao family is not an enemy.
But the Gao family has now been sealed.
Selling iron materials privately to the Gao family is no different from collaborating with the enemy.
Therefore, if your Gao family wants iron material, you can only submit the letter of credential and ask the official to agree.
If the official nodded, I would have no problem here.
As for firearms, don't think about it.
The iron armor and steel knives in your hands alone have exceeded the number of people in other parts of the north.
With them, you are enough to gallop in the north.
Give you firearms, I'm afraid you will beat Da Song back. "
Gao Chengyi stared at Kou Ji plausibly, "My Gao family is loyal to the official family?"
Kou Ji said coldly: "If you are really loyal, how could the king of your Gao family fall on your father instead of your grandfather?"
Gao Chengyi was so speechless.
Kou Ji coldly snorted, "Your Gao family is indeed meritorious to Song Dynasty, and I am not an unreasonable person. But firearms are the key to the victory of Song Dynasty and cannot be sold outside.
I do not hide it from you. Not only your Gao family, but several other companies have also asked for firearms.
The prices offered are higher than each one.
But I did not agree to one.
You should be clear about my relationship with several other companies.
Since I didn't promise to give them firearms, it was naturally impossible to give them firearms from the Gao family. "
Gao Chengyi dropped his head.
Kou Ji stared at Gao Chengyi and said, "If I were you, I would not continue to love and pity myself here. I will go back to the post house immediately and prepare to play a note of buying iron materials.
Prepare earlier and grasp earlier. "
Hearing the words, Gao Chengyi hurriedly got up and bowed to Kou Ji with tears in his tears, "Thank you, Shishu for the suggestion..."
