No shortage of walls

Moreover, the spy of the second prince of Qi had already found out that in the old territory of the Song Dynasty, some people who were too poor still ate salt cubes, but he also knew that with the Song Emperor's children's business, buying abroad and buying at home, the entire Song Dynasty was promoted. Money and goods flow; in just one year, as long as a person in the Song Dynasty is willing to work hard and is not lazy, he will be able to eat coarse and fine salt, and can afford soap.

Emperor Song's son was indeed bold and relaxed many restrictions imposed by previous dynasties and even other countries. In many things, Emperor Song's son allowed the people to be free.

Although the second prince of Qi was very confident in his talent and resourcefulness, he never figured out how Emperor Song's children's things were made, even fine salt.

As a person from a seaside country, Xiaoyan just didn’t expect it; in fact, he would do it when he saw it. But there is a small problem. Grinding the coarse salt is not easy to say, and the problem of mud and sand is the same. Instead, boil the salt. There are many techniques. If you are not careful, it will form salt balls again. It also costs a lot of firewood and costs a lot. It is heavier, and the cost of sand and mud removal is also heavy.

So, what did Emperor Song's son do?

Of course he didn't know that Emperor Song's son did the same thing. Just brewing wine and making soap are done using waste heat. The same method of cooking salt uses waste heat, eliminating the need for firewood.

Pure waste heat on rainy days, plus wind on sunny days, saves the labor cost of firewood and the cost of firewood itself.

Also, buy so many pigs and sheep; if the wool doesn’t taste good, where has it gone? Suet fat can be eaten, but it must not be eaten. Where did it go? Including Qi Wuyue's big fat pigs, no one peeled off the white meat and separated the fat to eat.

When you eat pork, do you separate the lean meat from the fat?

I eat pork belly.

But where did the fat go?

And newspapers, how are they printed? It is easy to engrave characters in reverse order. This principle is easy to understand, but I have tried the ink many times; it is really good to print character by character. But the prints on each piece of paper are either completely black, or dotted with stars, and no words can be seen.

If printing is done with the ink of a writing brush, no matter how hard you work, no matter how clever you are. You won’t be able to print well in a thousand years.

Not the same thing at all.

Printing a newspaper word for word is more difficult than copying manually. Just standing in line makes you vomit blood.

In order to prevent everyone from making less money, last year the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, the Empress Dowager, and officials from the Ministry of Rites of the Song Dynasty came to negotiate. Based on the wishes of both parties, the price of salt has been fixed.

Between countries, even if the Song Dynasty wanted the Hu people to be restrained by the Qi people, it was not willing to sell salt cheaply to the Hu people for consumption. This was in line with the interests of the Song and Qi Dynasties, and everyone had no objection.

This point is tacitly understood by everyone.

The love of country is short-lived.

Benefits are eternal.

Seeing the newspaper about Emperor Song going north to pay homage to Master Pangu and Empress Nuwa in the Northern Temple, the second prince of Qi came up with a plan to spread rumors into the Hu territory, saying that Donghu Shanyu controlled Qi and allowed Song The Emperor's son is now sitting up, and the Song Emperor's son is heading north. If Donghu can attack in one go, he will get many unexpected benefits. He also said that the price of sheep between Emperor Song and Donghu is obviously to suppress Donghu's sheep price.

Otherwise, how could he take advantage of the price of Xixia sheep regardless of whether they were old or young, and lower the price by 10% without Donghu knowing?

Prince Donghu received this rumor. I sneered in my heart, you think I am a fool; just say a few words and I will go and have a fight with the Song Dynasty; then the two countries are almost fighting, you come to collect the corpse? Free benefits?

I'm not your big fat pig from Qi.

It's so beautiful to use me as a fool to control the Song Dynasty and even cause hatred.

For himself, he promised Song to control Qi. Prince Donghu had already thought clearly that there was nothing he could not be deceived about, and he had already prepared a strong attack.

If he fails to control Qi and lets Qi drive out the Wu and Yue people and then attack Liao and follow Chen or even Song, the first thing Qi will do is attack its own Donghu.

In wars between countries, of course, the bravery of the soldiers and their lack of fear of death, morale is the most important.

But no one wants to fight with a group of mad dogs. The people of Wuyue have to die for the sake of their family. What is the difference between them and mad dogs?

Qi Jun, the old thief, can think of and do this kind of method to cut off his descendants. He is a ruthless person.

The royal court meeting has already been discussed. Even without those small countries, it would be good for the three kingdoms to stand in a tripartite state now; and, in theory, Song State also came to buy sheep in large numbers, more and more every year, to curb Qi State's ambitions. As for the future, if the royal court's tax collection is enough, the country will become stronger. Song Qi? We can compete in the future.

Fighting, it’s not like we haven’t fought with each other before.

Who is afraid of whom?

Donghu has been poor for too long, and for a while, the princes and important officials in the royal court really couldn't bear to let go of Song Guo, a wealthy man who bought and bought.

Furthermore, after drinking the strong wine of the Song Dynasty, the previous Zhuojiu was already dead, but even if it was alive, it was disgusting to look at it now.

The stuff from Song Guo Workshop is so useful.

It's just that there are some things in the world. It doesn't matter if you don't know, but if you know, you will inevitably have some wild thoughts in your heart.

People must never have thoughts in their hearts. Once thoughts arise in their hearts, they often cannot be stopped.

Prince Donghu held a court meeting to discuss and felt that the price of sheep was 10% lower. In the past two years, the number of sheep was 2.5 million, which was a shortage of 250,000 sheep.

The herdsmen’s money of 250,000 sheep, the common people’s money, and the royal court’s taxes; plus the money of the 250,000 sheep, if it is in the hands of the herdsmen, it can be used to buy goods from the Song Dynasty’s workshops, and the Song Dynasty can use it to buy sheep; one round later In one cycle, for the royal court, the taxes are considerable. For the herdsmen and common people, sheep eat grass, and the big sheep give birth to lambs, which only costs labor. As long as the cattle, horses and sheep are kept good and artificially controlled, the more they are raised, the more they will be. Yes, the barbarians have been grazing for tens of millions of years, and they can figure it out with their buttocks. If the silver of 250,000 sheep circulates endlessly, I don’t know how many times it will return to the royal court in the end.

The Hu people's own cattle, horses and sheep are not only less because they sell more, but more and more of them are sold.

The reason is very simple. A large amount of money just flows back and forth between the two countries, playing a role in circulation. In the process of the circulation of large money, the effect is to benefit the people and the court of the two countries. Every time it circulates in an all-round way, Just kill multiple birds with one stone.

Money may remain unchanged forever, but the people's livelihood in the two countries' courts has improved in all aspects.

Moreover, Emperor Song's son bought more and more every year, at a 10% discount. If he cares about many things like this, the amount is quite large.

Therefore, the prince of the royal court decided to send eight thousand soldiers to kill the Song Emperor's son while he was heading north to the temple, so that he could stay there next month and negotiate the price of the sheep.

I remember that when Emperor Xiao'er of the Song Dynasty came to the throne, he launched a strong attack; he sent officials from the Ministry of Rites to buy and buy. I think Emperor Xiao'er of the Song Dynasty must have known that the land of Hu State was several times larger than that of Song State; he was also a child. If you scare him now, he will definitely raise the price.

The winner of the war always has the final say. When the time comes, all we have to do is ride back quickly; the Emperor of Song Dynasty has lost his face, and will definitely send the Ministry of Rites to protest and negotiate; then, the price of sheep will be at least 10% higher than before; it will be 20% higher than last year, and the contract will be signed for 10 years and 20%. What if he has issued a letter of credence for ten or even thirty or forty years, and apologizes publicly, and compensates him two to three hundred thousand sheep for the war? In the long run, he will naturally take advantage.
