“The value of banknotes will depreciate if you pay them this way.” Zong Han said.

He still understands such a simple truth.

Zong Wang laughed, and he smiled helplessly. He looked at Zong Han and said, "I thought so too at first. I even thought that the most failed new policy of Zhao Guan's family was to hand over banknotes, but later I found out that I was wrong."

"Wrong?" Zong Han asked, "What's wrong?"

"The depreciation of handover banknotes has nothing to do with whether a large amount of handover banknotes enter the private sector, but is related to the increase in the number of private goods. In the past, the fields were in the hands of a small number of people, which meant that more food was accumulated in the hands of the big landlords. It rotted in the granaries, but it’s different now.”

"Is it different now?"

"Now that the number of large landowners is gradually decreasing under the New Agricultural Policy, a large amount of food will no longer be in the hands of a few people, causing waste, and people are more interested in farming. The food that was wasted in the past has now been , either became food on the tables of ordinary people, or were sold in the market."

"So you are saying that there are more food products on the market?"

"Yes, it has increased, especially in the south. In the south of the Song Dynasty, Chen Min's "Nongshu" was widely promoted. This method can not only farm, but also fish and herd cattle, and rationally utilize the fields. It is changing the Song Dynasty."

"Why do you understand so clearly?"

Zong Wang sighed and said: "I have fought against the Zhao Guan family many times, whether it was sending people to the south to stir up a rebellion among the officials and gentry, or creating rumors in Tokyo that Han Shizhong was self-reliant, or even Yan Yun absorbed many people who escaped from the Song Dynasty. scholars, as well as former officials and gentry."

Zong Han stood up, pondered for a moment, and said, "Are you telling me this because you don't want to attack the Song Dynasty?"

"No, it's not that I don't want to attack the Song Dynasty. Unlike Zong Pan, I know that the Song Dynasty is our enemy. The Zhao Guan family is a terrible enemy. This enemy must be continuously weakened, but we must also understand our enemy reasonably." Zong Pan said. Wang said, "I have said all this to tell you that Zhao Guan's family is currently firmly in control of the overall domestic situation and is by no means a bloated fat man like you said."

"Then let me ask you, are you willing to have our army march all the way to Hebei and all the way to Hedong, which is the same as when we went south to conquer the Song Dynasty?"

"If Hebei and Hedong fall into a quagmire, what will happen to Liaodong and Korea?" Zong Wang asked calmly.

"You have so little confidence in my great golden heavenly soldiers?"

"No, I am confident that we can still defeat the Song Army head-on, but we cannot quickly disintegrate the Song Army. We did not do it in the sixth year of Tianhui (the third year of Jingkang), and we cannot do it now. The situation in Goryeo is worse than that in Hebei More importantly, once Goryeo is controlled by Song, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Zong Wang's words made Zong Han fall into reflection.

In fact, Zong Han's visit to Zong Wang also reflected the changes in the internal conflicts of the Jin Kingdom.

In the past, Zong Han and Zong Wang had completely different ideas and were divided into two factions.

But now that Zong Pan has ascended the throne, Zong Han obviously wants to improve his relationship with Zong Wang.

Now Zong Han is facing a dead end, and many factors are telling him that he cannot ignore the war situation in Goryeo.

Individual will cannot go against the general trend.

"Then tell me, how to solve this situation now?" Zong Han asked.

"I have sent scouts to explore around Hebei. There will be news soon. If the Song Dynasty's defense line in Hebei is not mobilized, it will be more difficult for us to go south. Even if we win for the time being, the crisis on the eastern front will be the same as in Tianhui Six. We were forced to withdraw our troops like that in 1999 (the third year of Jingkang), so we thought of marching westward to support Shaanxi."

Zong Wang looked at Zong Han and said, "We can no longer use tactical victories to make up for strategic failures!"

Zong Han finally sighed.

He actually knows in his heart that he is taking a risk. What kind of character is he?

His understanding of strategy is matched by few in the Jin Kingdom.

From his analysis of the Song Dynasty's military and political bloat, to bureaucratic bloat, and then to the financial crisis, it can be seen that Zong Han's overall thinking is very good.

Zhao Ning has indeed been facing these crises.

But Zhao Ning was able to use strategies that Zong Han couldn't understand to change the situation step by step.

Zong Han said helplessly: "Yes, strategic mistakes are like a huge gap, and tactical victory is just a small wave that cannot fill this gap."

Zong Han patted Zong Wang on the shoulder and said, "You are right in Yanyun. Watch Yanyun carefully. I have to go back to Liaoyang to make preparations."

"Zhongshu Ling wants to go?"

Zong Han said: "We cannot sit idly by and watch the situation in Korea."

Zong Wang didn't say anything.

Before Zong Han left, Zong Wang said: "Zhongshu Ling still needs to ask His Majesty for instructions. After all, he is Your Majesty."

Zong Han did not answer his question.

From a political point of view, Zong Pan is a puppet, but after all, he is already a legitimate emperor.

If Zong Han didn't respect him, he would just tell the truth, and Zong Qian, Wu Shu and others would take the opportunity to make trouble.

This is the political game.

It doesn't mean that you must be awesome if you have military power. After all, you don't have all the power.

The overall situation is indeed moving in the direction Zhao Ning deduced.

It's not that Zhao Ning has a clever plan, but that he understands that personal will cannot fight against the general trend.

A truly powerful person is not a scheming person, but a layout and conspiracy.

On the third day of February, Tokyo is no longer so cold, and the wind blowing from the Bian River carries a hint of spring.

Zhao Ning was sitting among the pavilions in the back garden, along with Prime Minister Zhao Ding, Minister of Industry Chen Gui, and Luo Congyan.

Zhao Ning said: "How is the publication of "Dialectics" going?"

Luo Congyan said: "It is still in the official school, but it has been included in the official school, and people are reading it one after another among the people."

"Chen Qing."

Chen Gui said: "Have you read it?"

"I read it three times."

"Where is the first edition of The Wealth of Nations?"

Chen Gui said: "I also read it."

"What do you think?"

"I am deeply inspired."

"What do you think."

"His Majesty expounded a very shocking argument in both Dialectics and The Wealth of Nations. There is an objective law in the world, and everything operates according to objective laws. This objective law is what Lao Tzu said."

Chen Gui's face was calm, but he was still very excited.

"Tao cannot be described, but it really exists and is everywhere. We know very little about it."

Zhao Ning was still very satisfied with Stereo's answer.

Where does science come from?

Science originates from the unknown of the world and from the exploration of the objective laws of the world.

For example, Newton's law was not invented, it was discovered. It is an objective law, not a human commodity.

Before science can bloom, it needs a change in thinking.

Chen Gui continued: "I think that everything I am doing now may be related to Tao in any way."

Zhao Ning continued to ask: "How do you say this?"

"Why does the bullet of the fire gun have a limited range?" Chen Gui asked, "Is there a pattern that I am not aware of that is affecting the trajectory of the bullet?"
