Shangjing in early July is obviously much cooler than Bianliang in Tokyo.

Since the end of the Third Song-Jin War, all Jin armies have withdrawn northward, and many changes have taken place in the Jin Dynasty's court.

Wanyan Gao, the second most powerful figure in the Jin Kingdom and the future emperor of the Jin Kingdom, fell ill and returned to Beijing.

The doctor said that he was physically weak, and because he was overworked on military and political affairs, and his mood fluctuated too much, his energy and blood attacked his heart.

It's good to be able to save one life, don't expect anything else.

After Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan returned to Beijing, they said they wanted to rest and recuperate, but in fact they came back to fight each other.

In troubled times, Zhao Ning's Tokyo was full of storms. How could the Jin Kingdom's trip to Beijing not be full of controversy?

After talking about it, Yan Zongpan took Zhao Ning's article "On the Early Years of the War between Song and Jin Dynasties" and hired a large group of staff to analyze every word.

Wanyan Zongpan: I opened Zhao Guanjia's "On the Early Years of the War between the Song and Jin Dynasties" and checked it out. There is no unnecessary nonsense in this article. On each page of the crooked page, there are four words: "The War of Resistance to the End". I couldn't sleep anyway, so I read it carefully.

In the middle of the night, I saw the words between the words. There were two words written all over the book, which were "peace talks."

Wanyan Zongpan is also a smart man, but he is just a little anxious. As a young man, how can he not be anxious?

Of course, smart people speak clearly and logically.

He analyzed the following points to support his peace proposal:

First, the Song Army made great progress in tactics.

As if to deliberately provoke Wanyan Zonghan, he even used the example of the Party War as an example. It was obvious that he was fully prepared.

I must have learned some of the real situation through the officers who escaped from the Shangdang.

For example, the endurance and formation strength of the infantry armor formed by the Song Army were more fierce than those of the previous Song Army.

The cavalry that turned the situation around was also very powerful.

There were many capable Song generals in the Song army.

Facing such a Song army, it was already difficult to fight a battle of annihilation as easily as before.

Second, the Song people faced huge external threats. All internal forces were integrated by the Zhao Guan family, temporarily giving up their conflicts and united in dealing with the outside world. From then on, the strength of the Song army will only become stronger and stronger.

Third, the fiscal and tax revenue of the Song Dynasty has not been hit hard. There is still a large amount of money and population to form an army. It is difficult to quickly destroy the Song Dynasty. We, Dajin, may fall into mutual consumption and take advantage of Xixia and Mengwu.

Fourth, if the war ceases and the two sides trade with each other, it will also be very beneficial to our country.

Wanyan Zongpan put forward his four arguments and added fuel to the flames in Beijing, attracting a considerable number of supporters.

The profit logic behind this is actually very clear. There are many upper-level merchants in the Jin Kingdom. Many items from outside the customs enter the customs, especially into the Central Plains, and can be sold at high prices.

For example, mink skins from Liao Dynasty were smuggled to the Song Dynasty and could be sold for a very considerable price.

In addition, some Jin ministers, such as Liu Yanzong, pointed out to Zong Wang that by officially opening a mutual market with the Song Dynasty, they could also absorb Song Dynasty currency on a large scale.

In the 12th century, the copper coins of the Song Dynasty were harder than the US dollars in the 21st century.

The Liao Kingdom, Xixia, Goryeo, Japan, and other Southeast Asian countries all loved the copper coins of the Song Dynasty.

Even in order to absorb a large amount of copper coins from the Song Dynasty, Japan specially set up many shipping routes, built many ships, traded with the Song Dynasty, obtained copper coins, and shipped the entire ship to Japan.

The money shortage in the southeast mentioned by Qian Jinshu and Zhao Ning refers to the outflow of copper coins from the Song Dynasty.

Currency also involves a country’s economic strength and taxation.

It is said that the Song Dynasty, Xixia, Liao and Jin all fought currency wars.

In the era of limited productivity in ancient times, the flow of currency into the Jin Kingdom would certainly not be of any benefit to the Song Dynasty, but it would be of great benefit to the Jin Kingdom.

Therefore, in response to this, Wanyan Zongwang proposed the policy of "copper coins weakening the Song Dynasty".

But Wanyan Zonghan of the main war faction didn't care so much. While he sent Wanyan Xiyin and Shi Liai to publicize the benefits of the main war in the court, he had already begun to prepare for a large-scale war.

He kept writing letters to Wu Shu in Zhending Mansion, asking Wu Shu to train soldiers and prepare food and fodder without stopping, waiting for an extraordinary opportunity to catch the Song Dynasty off guard at any time.

It was in this environment that the news that Zhao Ning's restructuring on Gyeonggi Road caused a tremor in the Song Dynasty reached Shangjing.

This undoubtedly added fuel to the already controversial debate in Beijing, and instantly ignited all the enthusiasm of the main war faction.

Even Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu Qingbuy heard about it and thought it was a great opportunity.

On July 12, Zong Wang's letter was sent to Shangjing. Zongwang also gave his own reasonable explanation for the current situation in Song and Jin Dynasties. He hoped that Shangjing would not be impulsive and not be carried away by the situation at hand.

However, at this time, Wanyan Zonghan went to the palace all night to meet Wanyan Wu to beg for money, and the two parties talked for a whole night.

The next day, a letter quickly went south, bypassing Zong Wang's eyes, and was delivered directly to Wu Shu in Zhending Mansion.

July 13, Tokyo.

At dawn, Qin Hui was waiting outside Wende Hall. In his hand was the list of rebels on Gyeonggi Road this time.

Those people's heads have long been chopped off, and the charges have been announced throughout Gyeonggi Road, but the judicial process has not yet been completed.

"Officials." Qin Hui entered the Hall of Wende, "These are the judicial documents of the list of rebels. They are all here."

"Are there any omissions?"

"No one is missing. I sent someone to verify it."

"good."

Qin Hui hesitated for a moment. He had something to say, but after thinking about it carefully, he decided not to say it for now.

Zhao Ning looked at him: "What's the matter?"

"Nothing, the official family is busy with government affairs. I'm just worried that the official's holy body is in trouble."

Zhao Ning said: "If you have anything to do, please just say it. There is no need for you and me to be polite."

He knew that Qin Hui must have his own ideas. Qin Hui had a lot of ideas in his heart and was very ambitious. If he had nothing to do, he would run to Zhao Laojiu's place and drink tea.

"I am indeed worried."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Currently, many large and powerful households have paid taxes in accordance with the new policy, but there are still many people who want to sell their land, but ordinary people have no money to buy it. This still does not achieve the goal of equalizing land between officials and households."

"Oh, if you have any good ideas, please tell me."

Qin Hui said: "I once sent someone to make an unannounced investigation. Some private loan sharks are lending money to the people. The profits are extremely high and the people cannot afford it. It is better for the court to lend money to the people and the people buy land."

"Oh? Do you know how many fields there are in Gyeonggi Road?"

"I would venture to guess that in addition to the royal land, there are tens of thousands and hundreds of acres."

"Since you know there are millions of acres left, do you know how much money the court will need to loan to the people to buy them all?"

"I have inquired again about the official family. Nowadays, the prices of fields in various counties are being reduced. The court's land tax is too high. Many people think that it is better to sell the fields than to hold the fields in their hands."
