Chai Yuanming's statement means that the Ministry of Finance does not support the launch of the battle into Shu at the moment, which is a very important statement.

And Su Yonglin held the same attitude towards this.

There are too many places to spend money, and once Sichuan and Shu take over more places to spend money, it will bring huge burdens to the Ming Dynasty's finances. Su Yonglin did not want to do this.

Moreover, when you go south, Wu Lin's resistance will be very fierce. Wouldn't it be even better if you can use special means to weaken Wu Lin's resistance or simply destroy Wu Lin's resistance power?

"I know this."

Su Yonglin nodded: "Of course it is not wise to attack Sichuan and Shu now, and there is no need for us to move troops now. Sichuan and Shu are trapped in a trap. As long as they cannot fight, they will trap themselves to death. They only need to cut off the commercial routes inside and outside Shu, and the effect will not be worse than direct dispatch of troops."

"Severe the trade route? Where is... Shu Jin?"

Chai Yuanming said, "In addition to some tea, the most important thing in Shu is Shu brocade. Moreover, many foreign merchants also need Shu brocade. Now it is the time when we control the Maritime Bureau. If the supply of Shu brocade is stopped, it may not be appropriate, right?"

This is the most important point of breaking the deadlock.

This is Su Yonglin's purpose.

"What else? In this case, the possibility of the Ministry of Finance entering Shu to receive Shu brocade woven sects is no longer there. Continuing to do business with them is just a way to gain the enemy."

Su Yonglin shook his head: "Fanbians want Shu Jin, so they tell them that there is no goods now, and use other substitutes for a while. When we free up our hands to clean up the land of Sichuan and Shu, we will give them Shu Jin. Good goods are not afraid of being too late. If Shu Jin and the others can't make it, they must buy ours."

"clear."

Chai Yuanming thought about it and asked again: "Then now the tea-horse trade between the merchants of Hexi and Sichuan and Shu..."

"There will be some losses for a while, but we have a strong foundation and they have a weak foundation and can't last long. This part of the trade losses are a small number after all. If some people are involved, they will be asked to report to the Ministry of Finance. The Ministry of Finance will send a specialist to verify, and then the court will make up for it at its discretion. The time will not be long."

"Understood."

Chai Yuanming didn't say anything more.

As for the commercial trade of Guanzhong, it is indeed just a small number for the Ministry of Finance and is not important.

To fight a full-scale war, of course, it will cause great damage to the Ministry of Finance, but it is just a small-scale economic war that the Ministry of Finance can withstand.

When fighting an economic war, it depends on who has a thick blood strip or who has more channels for replenishing blood. There are many such things in the Ming Dynasty, and there are extremely broad and profound agricultural basics as reservoirs.

But Sichuan and Sichuan have nothing.

All they have is a false and prosperous commodity economy. Once the economic channels are blocked, the goods in Shu can no longer be sold, and the people in Shu are full of grievances and can kill them.

Chai Yuanming, the second-in-command of the Ministry of Finance, is very familiar with the fragility of the pseudo-commodity economy in Jiangnan.

A few years ago, in order to expose the problems brought to agricultural production by this false prosperity, the Ming Dynasty also experienced a small economic crisis.

Fortunately, these are all past tense.

At present, the Ming Dynasty has no problems in this regard. The Ming Dynasty's economic basic structure is solid and very solid. Any country who wants to engage in economic war with the Ming Dynasty will be powerless in the face of the Ming Dynasty's huge agricultural basic structure.

With the current economic situation in Sichuan and Shu, even if Zhuge Liang resurrected, if the Shu brocade trade was blocked, he would not find a way to break the deadlock.

Faced with the situation where Ji Han suffered heavy losses after Liu Bei's death, Zhuge Liang said, "Now the people are trapped in the country and the country is weak, and the only way to defeat the enemy is to rely on Jin Er].

Shu Jin is a hard currency among the Three Kingdoms. Whether it is Wei or Wu, their ruling class's desire for Shu Jin is very large and irresistible.

High-ranking officials and nobles need Shu brocade to decorate their appearance and show their identity, and use Shu brocade to reflect their differences from others. Shu brocade needs Shu brocade to make clothes, bedding, cloaks and cloaks to do everything, and even Shu brocade can be used as money.

Cao Pi even issued an edict to advise officials not to buy Shu brocade, saying that doing so was to invest in the enemy and endangering national interests.

But it's useless.

In order to show their identities and satisfy their desires, the nobles and local tyrants should buy high-end hard currency like Shu Jin or buy. The more Cao Pi dissuaded them, the happier they would buy.

Anyway, it was not theirs who died, and even if the sky fell, it would not stop them from pretending to behave with Shu brocade.

Relying on Shu Jin, Zhuge Liang fought a beautiful and miraculous economic battle.

He directly linked Ji Han's 1000 coins to Shu brocade, stipulating that anyone or group could only use 100 coins to buy Shu brocade, thereby stabilizing the face value of 100 coins and giving the market huge confidence.

Before Liu Bei's death, the credibility of Liu Bei himself and the Ji Han government was supported by the credibility of Liu Bei himself and Ji Han's government. Otherwise, a 100-yuan qian would only weigh four or five five-yuan qian coins, and it would not be used as a 100-yuan qian coins in any case.

After Liu Bei's death, the reputation of Zhibaiqian fell sharply and could hardly be used. The finances of Jihan's government suddenly fell into a state of exhaustion. In this critical moment, Zhuge Liang stabilized the existence of Zhibaiqian as a credit currency, and directly reversed Jihan's endangered fiscal situation.

Shu brocade is linked to the 100-month month. To buy Shu brocade, you must use 100-month month.

How did Wu and Wei obtain direct 100 yuan?

Use goods approved by the Jihan government to exchange for 100 pieces of full-color Wuzhu coins or 100 pieces of Wuzhu coins.

For every 100 coins sold, the Ji Han government earned ninety-six five-zhu coins with tears in his eyes.

This not only stabilized the precarious dominance of the Jihan government at that time, but also laid the economic foundation for the subsequent southern expedition to Menghuo and northern expedition to Guanzhong.

If the economy is stable and Zhuge Liang has money, then the regime of Ji Han will be stable.

Because of the thirst of the ruling classes of Wu and Wei for Shu brocade, the Shu brocade, which can be regarded as strategic materials, cannot be blocked from trade. Therefore, Cao Wei failed to successfully attack Ji Han's economy and could not trap Ji Han to death. Instead, he continued to transfusion blood for Ji Han during the years of war, which can be regarded as an example of the enemy's investment.

The 100 coins of Ji Han were not only circulated and used in Ji Han, but also a well-known currency in Cao Wei and Sun Wu. Therefore, the circulation of currency was realized between the Three Kingdoms. Ji Hang's leeks should not be too happy.

Why can Zhuge Liang use the power of a state to fight against Cao Wei and even counterattack five times?

Because he is really rich.

Where did his money come from?

Most of them were given by Cao Wei.

It was equivalent to Cao Wei spending money to invite Zhuge Liang to attack him.

I'll hit me!

Who can do it?

Su Yonglin raised his hands and surrendered, gave up the competition in this area, and withdrew from the track in this area.

Because he really can't do it.

His regime had no feelings for Shu Jin.

Before, I had a limited business in Shujin, mainly wanted to be a second-hand dealer between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty and the grasslands.

The nobles on the Xixia and the grassland liked Shu brocade and needed Shu brocade to decorate the storefront and save themselves in front of other nobles.

Ming Dynasty monopolized the trade routes between the two sides, and of course he also wanted to further become a middleman and make a difference, so he started this trade.

In the entire Zhongdu court, except for the Shu brocade accumulated during the Wanyan Liang period, he had never purchased even a single Shu brocade for use in the entire six years.

Su Yonglin originally wanted to use Shu Jin to make some clothes for Zhao Xirui, but Zhao Xirui refused it on the grounds that [the Ming Dynasty just established requires thrift and thrift]. After that, Shu Jin was even more useless and was sold to the grassland tribe for horses.

The Ming court currently defines Shu brocade as something that can make money, and there are not many ideas apart from that, and no official action of the court has used Shu brocade.

After all, the ruling class who likes Shu Jin was eliminated on a large scale by Su Yonglin.

Su Yonglin speculated that the reason why Sichuan and Shu officials dared to support an emperor and openly fought against Ming and Jiangnan countries was not only indignation and fear of the Lin'an court's betrayal of the Song royal family, but the next reliance was probably the production and ownership of Shu brocade.

They probably knew the story of Zhuge Liang relied on Shu Jin to earn military expenses to Cao Wei, so they felt that as long as they mastered the production and sales of Shu Jin, they would not be afraid of not being able to control the Ming and Jiangnan countries.

As long as the Shujin trade continues, they will definitely not worry about not having money to use it. As long as they have money to use it, they can continue to do whatever they want and continue to train troops and fight.

But what if the Shujin trade is cut off?

What if the entire Sichuan-Shu trade is cut off?

Someone will take over this inexplicable Shu and Song regime instead of Su Yonglin.
