Because of the defeat at Gaolianghe, successive emperors since Taizong felt that force could not regain Youyan, so they all began to find other ways to redeem it with money.

Zhao Xu is not the first to think this way.

Zhenmiao and Renmiao both had this idea and put it into practice.

Even the late emperor's encapsulation library was prepared for the Sixteen States of Youyan.

And Zhao Xu went one step further than these emperors.

He proposed a feasible plan.

It took ten or twenty years to paralyze the northern captives, making them unable to leave the Song Dynasty, and then they had to return the sixteen states of Youyan.

only……

The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Xu and asked worriedly: "Guan family, if this happens, where will the country get so much money?"

Now it’s 3 million yuan a year, 30 million yuan in ten years!

If the Northern captives asked the Song Dynasty to make Jiaozi, they would add several million more strings every year.

They took the money and bought the goods and went back.

Merchants came to Bianjing to exchange their coins.

Although the official who handed over the money said that most merchants would not exchange it immediately.

But what if?

If the merchants exchanged the money with the money, wouldn't the Song Dynasty suffer a big loss?

This is where the two palaces are worried.

You can't blame them, it's really too risky.

After hearing this, Zhao Xu laughed: "Don't worry, Mother!"

"My grandson has already thought about it..."

"When merchants bring Jiaozi, they can exchange it if necessary, and it can be exchanged at any time regardless of the three-year period!"

"Because this merchant has changed his Jiaozi, the Jiaozi can then sell it to other merchants..."

"This time, it's always a tax of sixty cents!"

"Suppose a Jiaozi with a face value of ten guan is redeemed at the Jiaozi exchange more than ten times in a year..."

"Then this Jiaozi with a nominal value of ten coins is actually already in the packaging library!"

"It's like a merchant who spent another ten dollars to buy it back from Jiaozi Exchange..."

When the two palaces heard this, they looked at each other.

Think about it carefully, this is really the case!

As long as the Song Dynasty reserves enough reserves, it will not be afraid of merchants' exchanges at all, and will even encourage exchanges. The higher the exchange rate, the better!

Zhao Xu continued: "In addition, the Liao people's shopping from our country is only based on the current three million yuan..."

"The merchants all over the world may profit from it, which is probably more than one million yuan!"

"And I heard that merchants have to pay taxes and residence taxes..."

"With goods traveling from south to north, paying taxes along the way can benefit the country!"

"In order to sell goods to the Northern Barbarians, they need to hire common people's craftsmen... and common people's craftsmen can benefit from it..."

"If things go on like this, the gold and silver of Beilu will continue to flow into our dynasty... The goods of our dynasty will continue to flow into Beilu..."

"You have me in you, and you have me in you... At the end of the day, Beilu didn't dare to say anything about going south again..."

Zhao Xu looked at the two palaces and still smiled: "Because, by that time, when the northern captives go south, they will actually fight him!"

The two palaces listened and nodded involuntarily. They had all been convinced by Zhao Xu.

What Zhao Xu said could even be said to have reached their hearts.

Zhao Xu looked at the expressions of the two palaces and said: "So, mother-in-law and queen, please give Gao a warning to the relatives of the two families..."

"Hurry up and go to the border market, open a shop, and specialize in the things that Beilu likes..."

When the two palaces heard this, they both laughed and said to Queen Mother Xiang, "Sixth brother, Gao, is a relative of both Xiang families!"

"They are already extremely wealthy and can no longer compete with the people for profit!"

The Queen Mother also said: "What the Queen Mother said is true!"

Zhao Xu just smiled.

He knew that how could the Gao family and the Xiang family let go of this gluttonous feast?

I originally wrote a lot of personal opinions on Confucianism, but I thought about it and deleted it!

Because this will be criticized by others, if any readers are interested, I will post a free chapter later to explain it.

Of course, this is limited to my personal superficial knowledge.

PS: The same is true for some things in the book.
