Chapter 39 Everyone chooses their own way (2)

It was said that Sun Bin was framed by his classmate Pang Juan, and finally found an envoy to Qi. The envoy from Qi secretly took Sun Bin to Qi.

Hao Ren Wanhu knew this story, but he didn't expect that he would make a guest appearance as an envoy of Qi. As for whether the nephew of Empress Dowager Yang had Sun Bin, Hao Ren Wanhu himself was not confident. What Hao Ren could be sure of was that Yang Dacheng was a member of the Song Dynasty's shipping and had some understanding of the sea transportation of Song Dynasty. As a letter of fame, Yang Dacheng brought several drawings of the Song Dynasty's shipping and a globe.

Mongolia played a great role in the discovery of geography. Mongolian cavalry almost traveled to the entire world island and attacked Egypt in Africa. In this era, the Suez Canal had not been excavated, and Africa was still connected to the world island. Therefore, the Mongolians far surpassed other countries in geographical practice, until the rise of the scientific rise of the Song Dynasty.

Listening to Yang Dacheng's story, Hao Renwanhu was so intoxicated. As a Mongolian, Hao Renwanhu could not imagine that he could start with theory and then gradually fill in the content with practice.

The Zhao Guanjia proposed that the earth is round, which is not unusual in itself. What is strange is that the follow-up is that if it is an ordinary theoretical dispute, as long as the earth is round, it will be done. The Zhao Guanjia did not stop there, but instead formed the concept of longitude and latitude based on this theory, and formed equipment such as sextant. Through sextant measurement, a large amount of data was obtained, and finally a very exquisite world map was drawn.

When he moved the globe, the globe's sphere slowly rotated, and the edges of the land above were very clear. Hao Ren suddenly felt a wonderful feeling, as if the whole world was projected in front of him, so that Hao Ren could conquer and understand him at will.

"Wanhu, this is the basis for Zhao Jiaren to cross the sea. No one else has such a map in his hands." When talking about Zhao Jiaren's name, Yang Dacheng's voice was full of resentment.

"Yeah." Hao Renwanhu responded. If it weren't for this globe, he wouldn't have taken the risk of taking Yang Dacheng with him. Even if he brought this Song treason, Hao Renwanhu was still worried. Could this Yang Dacheng be a fake?

"Wanhu. Now the sea in Dayuan is worrying. The Song State set up a stronghold on Jeju Island many years ago. They can gather troops on Jeju Island to attack Goryeo at any time. Wanhu will see here. This is the Jiaodong Peninsula. If Zhao Jiaren wants to be unfavorable to Dayuan, he can first cross the sea to the Liaodong Peninsula and take steps on the Liaodong Peninsula..." Yang Dacheng pointed to the globe and told.

There is a saying that men only have toys, and it is a very common game to point out the globe to the river. For example, Chang Kaishen, who was reincarnated by Du Chong a thousand years later, likes to play the trick of opening the border of maps.

Even if Hao Ren was not addicted to this game, the globe and map made him feel very uneasy. Originally, Hao Ren thought that Da Yuan owned much vaster land than the Song Dynasty, but now it seems that the situation was not what Hao Ren thought. The Song Dynasty had a vast South China Sea, Luzon, Jiaozhi, Chameng, and Siam, and these areas allowed the Song Dynasty to have a passage to the Tianzhu Ocean. Hao Ren had been to the grassland, and there was really a grassland, and there was nothing except grass.

The South China Sea owned by the State of Song produces endless good things. Yang Dacheng has hundreds of products in the product list, including spices, spices, pearls, gems, and tea.

After finally taking his eyes back from the globe, Hao Ren asked Yang Dacheng, "I heard that the Song Dynasty's Jiaobao was demoted to almost nothing, so why did it recover?"

"Hmph!" Yang Dacheng snorted hatefully, "Then Zhao Jiaren was desperately plundering in the South China Sea. The things they plundered were sold on the market, and they could buy them by using Jiaobao. At that time, many people had Jiaobao in their hands, and were afraid that Jiaobao would depreciate again, so they used Jiaobao to buy use Jiaobao. However, Jiaobao was limited, and Zhao Jiaren plundered kept selling on the market. Not long after, the people found that Zhao Jiaren was buying Jiaobao at a low price. Everyone refused to be fooled, so Zhuobao would naturally be valuable."

Listening to Yang Dacheng plundering one on the left and the other on the right, Hao Ren's guard's face changed. Plundering is a very glorious thing in Mongolia. Zhao Jiaren was able to plunder so many valuable items in the South China Sea, and the Mongolians also felt that this man was a great hero. Criticizing Zhao Jiaren on plundering made the Mongolians feel very upset.

"Can you make more than one billion yuan of banknotes worth by just relying on things transported from the South China Sea so valuable?" Hao Ren asked with interest.

As a noble person who did not discriminate against Ah Hema in the Yuan Dynasty, Hao Ren once heard Ah Hema talk about the matter of paying money. The Yuan Dynasty used silver and silk as collateral, and the value of the Yizheng money was one or two silver coins. It was converted into the currency of the Song Dynasty, which was three guan copper coins. The rules of the Song Dynasty, each copper coins were 770 documents, and the three guan copper coins were 2,310 documents according to the number of copper coins. In theory, the exchange rate was one thousand documents, which could be said to be two guan copper coins.

In other words, the Song Dynasty's two guan Jiaobao was equivalent to the Dayuan Yiguan Jiaobao. It is said that the Song Dynasty has issued about one billion guan Jiaobao, which is equivalent to the Dayuan Jiaobao, even if it is 500 million guan. Ahema told Hao Ren that the Jiaobao issued by the Dayuan now has 10 million guan. Moreover, the newly issued Jiaobao every year has 10 million guan. At this speed, it will take fifty years to catch up with the total amount of Jiaobao in the Song Dynasty.

Such a huge gap made Hao Ren very puzzled. It is said that the problem of soaring prices in the Dayuan Yuan is now, is there too much money to pay?

Yang Dacheng racked his brains to consider the answer to Hao Ren's question. The Yang family once received errands from the court because Empress Yang first became a beauty in Duzong. Later, Empress Yang returned to Hangzhou, and the Yang family could intervene and make progress without saying any benefits. At least everyone was polite to them and took good care of them.

Now that Empress Dowager Yang has fallen, the Yang family's status has naturally plummeted. In addition, Empress Dowager Yang's biological brother Yang Liangjie was arrested, sentenced, and exiled to Jiangxi. The Yang family was even more anxious all day long. Yang Dabao was a very fat maritime unit, and now he has been "seconded" to the local bench, and his income has also plummeted. In the past, he relied on maritime affairs, and had investment opportunities every year. If he could suppress the goods, the returns would be huge. Yang Dacheng's most satisfied investment was paper from Siam and tea from the Lion Kingdom. These two products were the earliest overseas territorial products with the Song Dynasty as the sales place.

After losing all this, Yang Dacheng was completely disappointed. Finally, he felt that his identity should have a way out in Mongolia. So wouldn’t the Shi family go to Mongolia? What he didn’t expect was that the Mongolian households on the opposite side liked Zhao Jiaren very much.
