Now my younger brother is about to return to the court, having achieved the merit of destroying the country.
At that time, the people of the capital will surely line the streets to welcome them.
Given my brother's personality, he will definitely be arrogant.
But now, the other party is a general in the court, no longer the playboy he used to be, and his every move is closely watched.
If someone with ulterior motives seizes on some problems and exaggerates them, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Now that I am in the harem, I can't do anything.
So she decided at this moment.
I must write a letter to my father and ask him to persuade my younger brother.
Song Youwei was still very confident in her father's steadiness, otherwise he would not have stayed in the Dali Temple for so many years.
Immediately, without hesitation, he returned to his bedroom and began to write a letter home.
And at the same time.
In the Ministry of Revenue.
Song Gongwen sat in the main seat, looking at the booklet in his hand, a smile on his face. "Very good, very good, Lord Sun. I didn't expect you to have everything ready in such a short time."
What he had in his hands was, of course, a large list of goods that Sun Kejian had purchased privately in recent times.
There are silk, tea, wine, etc., all the things needed by the grassland tribes.
As the Minister of Revenue, Song Gongwen naturally had some understanding of this.
Discover the things chosen by Sun Kejian.
They are all scarce and extremely needed by the grassland tribes.
That's why I'm so satisfied after seeing this list.
It also clearly indicates the quantity of each item and its purpose.
Song Gongwen couldn't help but sigh that the other party was indeed from the Sun family. If it were an ordinary official from the Ministry of Revenue, he would definitely not be able to be so comprehensive.
In fact, in his opinion, border trade was to help the Ministry of Revenue solve urgent problems.
But he didn't expect that his son would destroy Gaoyang Kingdom in such a short time.
So the pressure on the Ministry of Revenue was suddenly reduced a lot.
After this.
Song Gongwen also told Sun Kejian not to be anxious and to take it slow and gradually promote the mutual trade.
As for the Ministry of Revenue, the pressure has been reduced and there is no shortage of money, so why does Haoyao continue to promote trade?
That’s because the court’s two major projects have already begun.
More shadows will be used.
I must try my best to raise money from all sources.
Otherwise, if I delay the national policy set by Your Majesty, it would mean that I am incompetent.
Sun Kejian, who was standing below, smiled when he heard this: "I am now working for the imperial court, especially with such a wise monarch as the current emperor. Naturally, I must do my best."
"The total value of these items on the list is 300,000 taels of silver. If we throw them all into the border trade, the grassland tribes will definitely not be able to eat them all. So, I have prepared some of the goods for barter."
"After all, the grassland tribes are different from the Central Plains. The Central Plains can use silver, but the common people on the grassland don't have that much."
The current trade has not yet officially opened.
Even at the border, there are still some merchants trading with grassland civilians.
There will definitely not be a lot of silver in circulation. If it is stipulated that only silver can be used, it will definitely affect the promotion of mutual trade.
However, if we use the most primitive method of bartering, it will be much more convenient.
After all, Sun Kejian had done business with people from the grassland tribes.
So I know a lot about this.
It is not comparable to court officials.
As for why there are only goods worth 300,000 taels of silver.
Because when doing business, you always have to keep some capital in hand, so that if any problems arise, you can use money to solve them.
The border is completely different from the Central Plains. The situation is very complicated and we must be fully prepared.
"Oh? Barter? Not bad."
After hearing this, Song Gongwen also thought it was a very good idea. He immediately thought about it for a moment and then said, "But even if it's barter, there should be something specific, right? It's impossible to trade anything."
"Of course." Sun Kejian smiled and said, "These subordinates have already thought about this. If the common people on the grassland don't have silver, we can exchange it for horses!"
"Although the Central Plains is vast and rich in resources, other places besides Yan are not suitable for raising horses. Even if they can be raised, they are still far inferior to the grasslands."
"It is precisely because of the inferior horses that the cavalry of our Great Wei is so much inferior to those on the grasslands."
He immediately continued, "If we can use the method of barter to introduce horses from the grasslands to the Central Plains, then our Central Plains can also train a powerful cavalry!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Song Gongwen's eyes lit up.
You must know that the imperial court was eagerly looking forward to the horses from the grassland.
So for many years, we have been trying to find a way to introduce horses from the grasslands to the Central Plains.
Unfortunately, the two sides had been fighting for many years, so the court had no time or opportunity to do such things.
Now Sun Kejian once again proposed the means of mutual trade and barter.
Buying horses from the grassland is indeed a good idea.
After all, the grasslands are dominated by nomadism.
Almost every civilian on the grassland has at least one horse.
As for the imperial court, it does not need too much. It is enough to form an elite cavalry of 10,000 people.
When bows and crossbows are added, the military strength will definitely be greatly improved in the future.
"Okay, very good, I'll do as you say!" Song Gongwen was very happy, and the smile in his eyes became deeper and deeper.
I thought the Queen Mother's cousin was just an incompetent person.
But unexpectedly, the other party always gives me some surprises.
