Chapter 1691 Confrontation

At the banquet, Shi Gong introduced everyone who came with him to Su You. Su You said: "Since the Liao and Song Dynasties have reached an agreement, the Song Dynasty is bound to do the training."

"In these four years, I hope you will study hard and master as much knowledge and technology as possible."

"The scale of the science and engineering base is huge, and there are many types of machinery involved. It is almost impossible for one person to learn them all."

"In the first and second years, you must master basic mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering knowledge; in the third year, you will start to be divided into majors, including metallurgy, chemical engineering, machinery, and engineering management; in the fourth year, you will enter various factories in Daming Prefecture for internships and get started.

.”

"The Minister of the Chamber of Commerce has written to me several times to tell me that I will not let him down."

After speaking, he raised his glass: "I believe that those who can come here are all the elites of Daliao. I just want to say, care less about politics and study more knowledge."

"Don't spread your precious energy on things that are beyond your control and in vain. Every day here, you must gain something every day."

"Come on, let me toast you all!"

The next day, after arranging the Liao students and seeing off envoy He Kuncheng who was on his way to Bianjing, Su You got up and headed to Zhangzi Island to start the second round of negotiations with Wang Jing.

The Liao Kingdom finally received the news that the Song Dynasty had taken Anxi and Beiting, and after hearing that its vassal tribes actually brought their own lunch boxes to help the Song Dynasty in the expedition, Yelu Hongji couldn't help but became furious and asked Wang Jing to negotiate with the Song Kingdom, regardless of the matter.

Why can't we just give up?

However, Su You's attitude was very tough, which made Zhangzi Island uneasy.

The first thing to be affected was the Eagle Coupon. The price plummeted like a cliff. The value of Thirteen Yellow's Eagle Coupon dropped from the previous 30,000 guan to 13,000 guan!

The next thing affected were the bonds of the iron works. Bond holders expressed concern about the future of the iron works and sold them one after another. The premium that originally carried some interest has now fallen below the principal.

When word spread that the Song Dynasty might cut off the supply of imported money, and that the Liao Kingdom proposed countermeasures to ban the circulation of imported money in the southern states, silk banknotes rose in response, and the price of imported money plummeted!

The actual value of imported money in gold and silver is only 70% of the face value, and the remaining 30% comes from the exquisite processing technology and the endorsement of the Song Dynasty's credit.

If it is true as the rumors say, the imported money will immediately lose 30% of its value.

Therefore, in the past few days, the banks in the southern states and the Huangsong Bank on Zhangzi Island were crowded with people who came to exchange imported money and rush to buy silk banknotes for safety.

Wang Jing personally went to Fengjin Bank to comfort the agitated people and asked everyone to calm down. He said that the Nanyuan was in urgent consultation with Situ of the Song Dynasty and would definitely come up with a solution. He asked everyone to be more patient.

But the excited crowd did not listen to him. In the end, Wang Jing burst into tears and donated all the silk banknotes in his family, exchanging them for imported money in an attempt to stabilize the currency value.

However, it was only a drop in the bucket. After Su You arrived at Zhangzi Island again, the fluctuations in eagle coupons, silk banknotes, and imported money stabilized instantly.

Wang Jing destroyed his family and expressed his wealth, but he was no match for Situ of the Song Dynasty who said softly after landing: "Why is this?"

The Song and Liao parties met at the Shipping Department of Zhangzidao City. Wang Jing accompanied Yelu Shensi to make soy sauce, and Yelu Shensi was actually negotiating throughout the whole process.

The reason is that Su You's level is too high and Yelu Shensi doesn't have enough enemies.

Wang Jing originally didn't want to come, but he had to come.

Because of the recent wave of currency fluctuations, Wang Jing has really made a lot of money, and he is still a fool. He is a little embarrassed to say hello to Su You when he sees him.

Yelu Shensi made severe accusations against the Song Dynasty, believing that the Song Dynasty tempted the vassals of the Liao Kingdom to help them fight the war. Such behavior was shameful and was firmly unacceptable to the Liao Dynasty.

After Yelu Shensi finished speaking, Su You said quietly: "Tatar and Khitan are thousands of miles apart, and some things have been misunderstood. I don't blame you."

"First of all, we need to clarify the nature of this matter. Both the Song and Liao Kingdoms have a wide range of believers who believe in Buddhism. As early as before the Song Dynasty, the Liao and Tatars in Jingang Cliff and Daxing Valley

Just keep coming to worship."

"The perverse actions of King Black Khan have caused dissatisfaction among many believers in Tubo, Qingtang, Hexi, Qilian, Xizhou, and Tatar in your country. They gathered together under the initiative of the North and South to spread the Living Buddha, and participated in

Go to Black Khan to rescue the Buddhists."

"Such actions are spontaneous, just and unofficially organized."

"The Song Dynasty only provided them with the help it could in accordance with the orders of the pious Empress Dowager, but this in no way shows that it was the Song Dynasty that led and induced this war."

Yelu Shensi was also a Buddhist, and Su You immediately occupied the highest point of morality when he made such an argument.

Yelu Shensi had no choice but to attack from another direction: "But you have armed two troops!"

"Wrong!" Su You immediately denied: "The Song Dynasty definitely did not arm any Tatars. On the contrary, the Song Dynasty court specifically mentioned this in the edict to establish envoys in Hexi. Although the Tatar believers saved the Buddhists

The voices are also very loud, but they must be vassals of the Liao Kingdom, so they must be treated differently."

"The Song Dynasty could only provide humanitarian assistance such as materials, food, tents, etc. in accordance with the previous disaster relief provisions for Liao, because it was the winter when water dripped and turned into ice. So many Tatars gathered in Shazhou, and they consumed a lot in a day.

.”

"Situ has such a clever tongue!" Yelu Shensi sneered: "The Bai Ta and Chu Bu are now equipped with a large number of Song Dynasty cavalry swords, standard bows and arrows, and crossbows. Where did these things come from?!"

Su You said: "After receiving the protest from the Liao Dynasty, we conducted a careful investigation and discovered that some vassals of the Song Dynasty, out of sympathy or economic interests, were collaborating with the Tatars during the joint march to the Western Regions.

There are trade relations between Tartar and Tartar.”

"Among them, the Tugan cadres in Juyanhai and the Yuchi bureau in Khotan are the most important."

"In the early days, in order to resist the Black Khan and Xizhou, the Song Dynasty provided them with a large amount of ordnance and established the Western Region Pingfan."

"Now they are selling their weapons to Bai Ta and Zu Bu. This is neither the instruction of the Song Dynasty nor a manifestation of the will of the Song Dynasty court."

"Afterwards, our government also learned a lesson, abolished the Western Region Protectorate, reestablished Hexi Road, and incorporated it from the Jisi system into the formal Luzhou government administrative system. I believe that similar incidents will not happen again in the future."

Yelu Shensi almost wanted to jump up and beat someone. Both Nima Heihan and Xizhou were destroyed. Of course, similar incidents will never happen again in the future!

He sneered and said: "However, the two troops captured Beiting for the Song Dynasty. How can this Situ still shirk it?"

"I really hate that they are not fighting for the Song Dynasty!" Su You took pictures of several cases and gritted his teeth with indignation: "Otherwise, the heads of Menggentulak and Jeddah would have been reported to the countries in the Western Regions!"

"The Song Dynasty is a civilized country. The army of the Song Dynasty is a civilized army. The Song Dynasty will never massacre innocent people, even if they are people of the enemy country!"

"However, Bai Ta blocked the two divination groups and massacred Zhangbali and Beiting! If they were under the command of the Song Dynasty, this would be a heinous crime!"

"If they were ordered by the Song Army commander, it would be a grave sin of the Song Army commander!"

"Your country also started as a nomad. The behavior of the two tribes may be normal behavior in your country's military system. However, such behavior will never be tolerated by the Song Dynasty military, especially the military after Yuanfeng."

"So your dynasty accuses the two ministries of being instigated by the Song Dynasty. It can only be said that your dynasty does not understand our dynasty's military law."

"The real situation is that the two tribes acted without authorization and carried out a massacre in Beiting. After the Song Dynasty military learned about it, they immediately went to stop the two tribes' actions and ordered the North Road Living Buddha to restrain their actions."

"From the beginning to the end, the Zubu and Baita tribes have always been free from the Western Expedition Army on the Northern Road of the Great Song Dynasty and are not subject to our army. Apart from receiving relief grain from the charity fund before departure, they have not had any relations with our army.

.”

"They are all herdsmen. They can run faster than my army. I can't always catch up with them. It's actually difficult to control them."

"Even so, because we did not send observers to the two departments and failed to stop the reckless actions of the two departments in time, it eventually led to tragedy. We also punished Liu Changzuo and Tong Guan, the commanders of the North Road."

"This is the truth."

Damn this... Yelu Shensi couldn't complain anymore. I've heard for a long time that Situ Zongheng of the Song Dynasty was educated. Your Majesty sent me to compete with him in the ring, but he really thinks highly of me...

If you can't be soft, you can be hard, and if you can't be hard, you can be violent. Yelu Shensi gritted his teeth and said: "The Song Dynasty has been attacking everywhere and overhauling border villages in recent years, which has caused extreme uneasiness in our court. Now it has destroyed Heihan and Xizhou and expanded again.

The land is five thousand miles away."
