Aguda has always been extremely hating the Liao Kingdom. Before, because Wu Haogu protected Dongliao, he had spoken many harsh words. He said that he wanted to attack Tianjin and flatten the Zhou Kingdom. He heard that all the Jurchens were frightened.

The Liao Dynasty was actually defeated by Wu Haogu's Republican Army! The Jurchens only found the situation today after taking advantage of the situation. Now when we go to war with the Brutal Zhou, will we lose everything?

Fortunately, the Jurchen decision-making mechanism at this time was relatively democratic. Under everyone's persuasion, Aguda finally gave up the idea of ​​going to war with the violent Zhou and turned to the Zhou Kingdom and Dongliao.

But this peace agreement does not control the Western Liao. It would be fine if the Great Jin Kingdom was afraid of the Great Zhou Kingdom, but why didn’t even fight Yelu Dashi now?

Looking at Wu Qimai with a confused look on his face, Aguda just smiled and whispered: "When he attacked Datong Prefecture before, many heroes such as Menggu and Zubu had won, and they also had a mortal hatred with the Khitan. Now the big stones started in Zhenzhou, Menggu and Zubu must be frightened. They are just for my use.

As for the Western Liao Dynasty, although it is occupied by Zhenzhou, it is not enough to cause trouble. The place where Zhenzhou is located is a place where the northern part of the desert is bitter and cold, and savages such as the Tatars can live in. How can the Khitan nobles and rich children endure hardships for a long time? According to the Tatars, the Khitan nobles spend a lot of money in Zhenzhou, and they do not have to do anything to produce, but just eat the mountains and eat the mountains. After a long time, their family wealth will be exhausted and they will naturally not be able to stay there. At that time, they will either go south to seek death or go west to survive. In short, it is impossible to live in the northern part of the desert for a long time. Why should we mobilize our troops to fight a group of poor enemy soldiers without oil? If we cannot win, the consequences will be unbearable!"

Wu Qimai also breathed a little. He just asked Aguda for a fight was just a matter of attitude. As the heir to the throne of the Great Jin Kingdom, he could not be too weak to the Khitans.

"Du Bo Ji Lie, if we don't fight the Khitan, who should we fight?" Wu Qimai asked. If we don't fight Dashi, we should find someone else to attack. It is impossible to enjoy wealth, because the Great Jin Kingdom is not rich at all now, and there is no wealth to enjoy.

Unlike the situation in history, the richest territory of the Great Liao, including Yan, western Liao and eastern Liao, were all seized by Wu Haogu. The wealth of the Liao court was taken to Daning Prefecture by Empress Xiao.

Later, when Aguda joined forces with Menggu, Zhubu raided Xijing, he handed over the surrounding area of ​​Datong Prefecture to Menggu and robbed. The Jin Kingdom only obtained land and population, but did not get much real money and silver. Moreover, because Menggu, Zhubu robbed too fiercely. In the second year of the Cong Kingdom (in 1115, Aguda used the Song Dynasty's reign at the beginning of its founding, and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Suguo last year). In the spring, a serious famine even occurred near Datong Prefecture, Xijing, Jin Kingdom! In order to avoid the fleeing of hungry people (mainly Han people on Xijing Road) and Aguda had to take out the only savings in the treasury and buy food from Zhou Kingdom to provide disaster relief. If the people do not provide disaster relief, they will starve to death... All the people are gone, who will exploit in the Jin Dynasty in the future?

And buying food to provide disaster relief has taken very little savings. Now the treasury of the Great Jin Kingdom is so empty that it can run away!

To solve the problem of lack of money, of course, we have to start a war to grab the money!

"No, we won't fight." Aguda's answer was beyond Wu Qimai's expectations.

"If you don't fight, you won't fight! Yang Pu and Gao Qingyi (both both defected to the right surname of Bohai, Jurchen) reported to me that the treasury was empty and moved to Xijing Road (the Jin Dynasty implemented a two-Beijing system at this time, and the country was divided into Tokyo Road and Xijing Road). Meng'an Mouke had no money, and even food and clothing were problems!"

Aguda laughed and said, "We don't fight, Menggu, Zubu, Wugu, Dili, Tatar and other tribes can fight!"

“Dubojili means…”

"The grasslands are full of robbers with difficult life. If it were not for the constraints of our Great Jin Kingdom, the Song Kingdom in the south would have a good life? We actually surrounded a group of robbers for them, so they should give us annual monies. Now that Song Kingdom doesn't give money, why are we polite? Just let the robbers go south and grab them! They can't stand the robbers anymore, so they will naturally give them annual monies!"

"Just rob the Song State?"

"The State of Zhou cannot rob it." Aguda said, "One of the time, we just got an alliance with them, and a real man must be trustworthy, otherwise the natural law will not be protected; secondly, the fur, Dongzhu, and ginseng obtained by Tokyo Road must be taken through the State of Zhou, and we also have to buy the grain and iron tools of the State of Zhou...

Don’t touch the Zhaoyi army of Song State, as the Zhaoyi army is a barrier to block the Zhou State’s southward movement. If we defeat the Zhaoyi army, Han Xiaozhou is likely to surrender to Wu Haogu. By then, the Zhou State would be too strong, and perhaps it would cover the entire Hebei!

As for Liang Kingdom, Shuofang Army, Dai Army, Fulin Army, etc., we can all do it! We can also divide the Hetao grassland to Zubu and the Monan grassland to Menggu, so that they can divide their own tribes into grazing south so that they can plunder their property nearby."

"Separate Menggu and Zubu's troops?" Wu Qimai was stunned, "Can they agree?"

Agu smiled and said, "If you don't want to separate, you can go south. If you don't want to, we have to find another tribe."

...

While Aguda was planning to go south to extort, the Kaifeng Prefecture of the Song Dynasty was facing an unexpected crisis.

Ji Yi was recruited to Kaifeng Prefecture by a long distance, and was attending the meeting of the two prefectures in the Political Affairs Hall of the Qionglin Palace.

The prime ministers of the two prefectures now have many questions to ask about this person who has almost become the "Southeast Minister", not just the matter of Jiaozhi's destruction of the country.

What makes the "old party figures" like Cai Jing, He Zhizhong, and Yu Shen feel a headache now, besides the difficulty of new military officers to control, is that the development of industry, commerce and overseas trade in the southeast region is out of control!

Industry and commerce are growing wildly along the southeast coast of the country, and the traditional small peasant economy is gradually disintegrating!

In fact, industry and commerce were extremely prosperous in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was standing on the threshold of capitalism. Large-scale employment and production, which was regarded as the symbol of capitalism by later generations, was very common in the late Northern Song Dynasty. The iron smelting industry in Liguojian, Dingzhou, Cizhou, and the ceramic industry near Xuzhou, coal mining industry in Hebei, Jingdong (Xuzhou), printing industry in Kaifeng Prefecture, and shipbuilding industry in Fujian, all had large-scale employment and production. Even the official handicraft industry in the court also obtained craftsmen through employment, rather than labor and slavery.

However, the lack of "tools" in Confucianism has made the development of science and technology lag behind the development of production scale. In other words, the scale of industry and commerce in the Song Dynasty fully met the requirements of the introductory stage of capitalism. However, the productivity was not yet reached such a level. This bottleneck, with the rise of the empirical and rationalists, has been completely broken!

The second threshold for the entry of industry and commerce into capitalism in the Song Dynasty was the lack of gold and silver and copper coins in the Song Dynasty. Although paper money had developed to a certain extent, it was still very primary. This restriction was also solved with the control of the Malacca Strait by the Hailu Maritime Control Department, as well as the reform of the money-inducing reform of Cai Jing and the emergence of new financial institutions such as Tianjin Bank and JD Bank.

The third restriction is that the state does not protect private industry and commerce enough. This is actually related to China's agricultural-based economic structure, with agriculture-based and commerce at the end, so naturally we should focus on agriculture and suppress commerce. However, because the administration of the Song Dynasty was relatively moderate, the situation of merchants was better than that of other eras. The emergence of the Hailu Maritime Control Department and the empirical faction and rational faction greatly improved the status of merchants.

The former allowed the Song Dynasty to obtain huge income from overseas trade, and at the same time strengthened the power of armed maritime merchants. With force, the back would naturally become hard.

The latter uses high-cost elite education to link talents and money, which makes businessmen's children flood college campuses, while traditional Confucian scholars who are farming and studying have gradually lost their cultural advantages because they cannot afford the costs of primary schools (middle schools) and universities (audiences).

The fourth factor that restricts the Song Dynasty from entering the threshold of capitalism is that the Song Dynasty is too large!

In history, early capitalist countries did not have a population of 100 million, and they were not necessarily even 10 million, at most they were millions.

This limitation still exists!

But three of the four limiting factors no longer exist. Moreover, because Cai Jing's money-induced reform greatly weakened the economic authority of local transshipment envoys, a large national market appeared on Chinese land for the first time!

Therefore, the Song Dynasty, a huge power that is not suitable for capitalism, is now being dragged towards the threshold of capitalism by several parts of it, such as Xu Hai, Jiangnan, Fujian coast and Guangzhou, and perhaps Kaifeng Prefecture and Zhaoyi Army Dingzhou and Cizhou, and of course, the Great Zhou Republic, which is still economically integrated with the Song Dynasty, are dragging towards the threshold of capitalism.

However, for a few areas that have completed upgrading their economic structure and have truly entered the germination of capitalism, most of the prefectures and military counties in the Song Dynasty have become victims of this germination of capitalism.

Talent and capital are flowing from all over the Song Dynasty to several "popular areas" at an unprecedented speed. There are the most opportunities, the best schools, the most prosperous industry and commerce... and various handicraft products made using water conservancy machinery, division of labor and cooperation and large-scale production flowing to various places like a tide, seriously destroying the original economic structure.

What's worse is that after the Jiaozhi War and the Liaodong War, two large coastal granaries, one in the south and one in the north, also joined the huge economy of the Song Dynasty (or China).

Nowadays, areas where handicraft products are produced can no longer plant grain, but instead plant cash crops (raw materials for handicraft products) on a large scale, and at the same time, low-cost grain is obtained through sea transportation.

In most areas of the Song Dynasty, limited precious metals can only be used to exchange handicraft products...
