In the next two hours, Guo Ning, Xu Ding and Jia She discussed repeatedly, but no one left the Imperial College building.
It wasn't until late at night that the three of them rested separately, but after Guo Ning returned to his mansion, he looked at the huge map hanging on the wall for a long time. It was not until Lu Han put the baby Guo Jing to sleep and came out to visit her husband.
"Huaidong? Huaixi?"
Following Guo Ning's line of sight, Lu Han saw two areas on the map located in the south of the Dinghaijun controlled area. Then she noticed that among the densely packed cities, mountains, and rivers on the two areas, there were two more place names. The ink pen drew a circle heavily.
"Zhenzhou? Anqing Mansion?"
Lu Han asked: "Are these two places very particular?"
Guo Ning stared at these two place names. After a while, he sighed longly: "Ahan, I feel very bad today."
The conversation went a bit fast, but Lu Han was used to Guo Ning's occasional deviant thoughts, so he asked her husband again: "Is it because Jia She's cowardly behavior has angered you? He is from the Southern Dynasty. , which is very different from the vigorous style of our northern Han children."
"It's not that I'm angry, Ahan. I feel like I was humiliated by him..."
"How dare this guy? Is he tired of living?"
Lu Han scolded angrily and asked again: "You can't hold back your anger and kill him, right? I heard a few days ago that this man seems to be quite talented, and you plan to use it for yourself. Could it be that now you feel that , it would be a pity to kill him?"
"No! Ah Han, I am a very particular person now, and I am not on the battlefield, so how can I kill people so easily! However, there are indeed many talents in the Southern Dynasties, and a mere county magistrate can actually do this..." Guo Ning murmured: "Ahan, this guy gave me a favor today, which was used to bribe me not to send troops to the Southern Dynasty in the short term."
"You agreed? The crew is training and the ship is being built. Li Yun has already rushed to the Southern Dynasty to respond. Can this matter be stopped? There is no need to discuss it with Jin Qing and the other generals. Down?"
Lu Han looked at Guo Ning's expression and asked, "Is it a big deal to bribe you?"
Guo Ning nodded heavily.
"Did I give you the blueprints of the naval warships of the Southern Dynasties? Or help you get through to the Qingyuan Mansion in Mingzhou or the Shipping Department in Fuzhou? Or..."
Lu Han's expression changed a little: "He contacted the rest of the Red Coat Army and told you Yang Miao's true whereabouts? This is really..."
"What kind of words is this!"
Guo Ning yelled and immediately put his arms around Lu Han's waist, letting her sit in his arms.
After Lu Han gave birth, she became much plump, and after all, her life had been much better in the past two years. Her neck was exposed except for the colorful collar, and her skin was very smooth and fragrant. Guo Ning smelled it and used some strength on her arms to let her My wife's back and buttocks are closer to mine.
"It's money. This guy took a large sum of money to bribe me, and he promised to keep giving me money starting next year."
Lu Han twisted her body slightly to make herself sit more comfortably. She turned around and said with a smile, "How much does it cost? Can you be as happy as this?"
"Did you see those two place names on the map? In Zhenzhou, Huaidong, there is Zhenzhou Prison, and in Anqing Prefecture, Huaixi, there is Tongan Prison and Susong Prison."
"Sounds like a money supervisor from the Southern Dynasty."
"These places were the places where coins were minted when the Song Dynasty was founded in the Southern Dynasty. Later, with the decline of the Song Dynasty, many of them were abandoned. However, until the Shaoxing period, coins were still being produced on a large scale. Jia She said that when he returned to Lin'an
In the future, while seeking military and political positions in Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers, he will also be in charge of the Quansi Division. If Shi Miyuan wants to use him to control the army of reformed people, he will definitely have a slight financial opening. He has obtained this authority.
If we recruit the money-casting craftsmen who closed down several money-making offices during the Shaoxi period of the Southern Dynasty and became homeless, we can quickly increase the output of these money-making offices, which can be doubled in half a year."
"How much will it double? This is the money supervisor of the Song Dynasty. Can we still get a share of the produce?"
"Well, we really have a share in it."
Guo Ning said: "Jia She put forward a very detailed plan, claiming that half a year would be enough to open up the joints and establish his family's position in the Huaihe River. In addition, he could easily reach a tacit understanding with Shi Miyuan, the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty. After everything was arranged,
Starting from April next year at the latest, 50% of the monthly output of these three money supervisors will be ours. And it will be shipped directly across the border and delivered to us."
"Fifty percent? How much is fifty percent? Don't be shy, tell me quickly."
"About 50,000 yuan a month."
"So much? Fifty thousand guan per month, doesn't that mean 600,000 guan a year?" Lu Han was surprised and jumped up from Guo Ning's arms.
Six hundred thousand guan of copper coins is really a huge number. Ding Haijun’s revenue from sea trade and salt administration seems to exceed 10 million guan, but due to the lack of copper mines in the north, the number of coins minted is extremely small.
Part of it was collected in kind. The mining and metallurgical fortune that Guo Ning accumulated in Shandong was insignificant compared to today's material throughput. Even if there was output, it was transferred out in multiple links.
This 600,000 yuan is real money, a pure income without any losses!
With an additional 600,000 guan added to the treasury every year, the Dinghai Navy can issue five or even ten times the denomination of banknotes, which can be used as three to six million guan within the territory of Daikin.
And it can also keep the currency value generally stable and circulate normally!
The situation where the navy is spending money like water but its old foundation is always empty will be greatly relieved immediately!
"What can't six hundred thousand yuan be used to buy?"
Lu Han's eyes were distracted, as if she saw 600,000 copper coins placed in front of her eyes, piled up into a golden hill. After a while, she asked: "What did Jia She buy with this money? It's just that we won't go to the Southern Dynasty for the time being.
Will we use troops?"
"Buy us to do three things. First, the peace talks between the Jin and Song dynasties remain as before, and each will not send troops. Our army has moved south, but we have destroyed the mines and mints first. Regardless of the outcome of the war,
The 600,000 guan per year will be gone immediately. Secondly, before we decide the outcome with the puppet emperor on Nanjing Road, please do not formally send the Song Dynasty envoy to the country to torment the name of the country of uncles and nephews or the country of uncles and nephews.
.As for the official amount of annual coins, the Song Dynasty will divide one into two, and each family will take half, and no one will be offended."
Having said this, Guo Ning shook his head and laughed twice.
Lu Han immediately understood: "The first two things are that the Southern Dynasty added a little more to the missing part of the coins and gave them to us secretly, so as to avoid having to worry about names in the court and causing trouble. In addition, Shi Miyuan will also gain from this. A channel for private communication with us is very helpful for him to grasp the direction of the court. This move has actually earned the face of the Song Dynasty. What is the third thing, I am afraid it is a bit ridiculous?"
"This guy made a suggestion and said, for the sake of 600,000 yuan, if the puppet emperor on Nanjing Road threatens the Song Dynasty and Huaihe River, we must make countermeasures on Shandong East Road and other places to attract Enemy forces ensure the security of the Song Dynasty."
Lu Han was stunned for a long time and then said slowly: "You seemed to have said earlier that you planned to conquer Jia She as an internal agent to go south to conquer the Song Dynasty. According to this statement, it seems that Jia She conquered you with 600,000 coins. As a companion of the Song Dynasty in guarding the home and nursing home in the north."
"So I feel like I've been humiliated in front of someone..."
Guo Ning sighed: "But if this thing really succeeds, it will be a benefit of 600,000 yuan a year! With this benefit, I will let the Song people go for a year or two, so what? I plan to send someone tomorrow Please discuss it together, Mr. Jin Qing. As long as there is a big difference, we should put actual interests first."
Once the couple discussed business matters, they immediately stopped caring about each other. Even when they were sitting together, their expressions turned serious.
Lu Han walked back and forth in the hall, thinking and said: "Originally, we were too busy. If we could get 500,000 yuan, many major things could be carried out smoothly. When we are strong enough, we will not accept the defeat. It's like destroying everything. However, I'm afraid that doing so will give Jiashe too much room for maneuver..."
"How much room for maneuver does he have? Even if he has any ideas, my mother and young son are in my hands, and Li Yun shows up from time to time, which is enough to hold him hostage..."
"No, no, if this thing is done, Jia She's status as a man between the two families will be recognized by both families at the same time. It is obvious that this person still loves the Song Dynasty, and he is so slippery and wise. With such conditions , he will definitely be able to manage a considerable situation. Moreover, he also understands your thoughts, so he offered a condition of 600,000 yuan, hoping to delay you for a year or two... I can guarantee that if you lead the army by then, If he fights with the Song Dynasty, there will be setbacks for him."
What I thought was a very clever plan is now going a bit off track?
Guo Ning couldn't help but tugged at his mustache again, and sighed: "I took Zhou as my country name, and I have good intentions. Unfortunately, it has been too long and I can't scare the scholars. Otherwise, I'd better kill him."
