This is a private meeting, of a private nature, and does not need to be as formal as in a court or palace.

The emperors of the Song Dynasty actually spoke to ministers in private and discussed matters very casually.

After all, being serious in court is already tiring.

It would be too hard and unbearable to talk to ministers in private and still have to put on airs.

But Zhao Xu could do whatever he wanted, but he could not be rude in his punishment and punishment. He followed Zhao Xu respectfully, bowing his body every step of the way, and entered the Funing Hall.

Zhao Xu led him to the side hall of the East Pavilion.

This is the place where Zhao Xu practices calligraphy and copies books and posts every day.

Zhao Xu sat directly on the special mattress given to him by Feng Jing and his men, and then said to the reserved Xing Shu: "I'm going to sit down. This is my private resting place. No need to be formal, just feel free to do it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xing Shu bowed respectfully and then sat down on a small stool brought over by Feng Jing.

Zhao Xu didn't care, and just asked: "Is there any letter from Beilu?"

Xingshu lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty is wise."

"What did Beilu say?" Zhao Xu asked.

Xing Shu then reported to Zhao Xu what he knew at Dutingyi.

After hearing this, Zhao Xu had a smile on his face.

This is great news!

The nobles of the Liao Kingdom were so greedy!

"In other words, Beilu will soon ask me for another two hundred thousand Guanjiao Zi!"

"It should be so." Xing Shu replied.

"Good!" Zhao Xu rubbed his hands: "I originally thought that no matter how good Beilu is, it might take three to five years before the budget exceeds the budget."

"Now it seems that Beilu will exceed its budget within this year."

Xing Shu blinked his eyes when he heard this, swallowed his saliva, and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, what should Beilu do if he overspends...?"

Zhao Xu smiled.

All the money is spent, what should I do?

This is a good question!

He chuckled and replied: "When people are short of money, they can borrow it from their neighbors. Although Song and Liao belong to two countries, they are from the same family. How can I turn a blind eye to the fact that we are brothers who are short of money?"

"Of course we can borrow some temporarily to tide over the difficulties."

"Of course..." Zhao Xu laughed: "There still needs to be some interest."

"Da Liao is my dearest relative and friend, and we have a good relationship as one family."

"I will also give you some preferential treatment and charge as little interest as possible."

"Nowadays, the Song Dynasty provides convenient low-interest loans, with an annual interest rate of two cents. If the Liao Dynasty borrows money from me, I only need one cent of interest!"

"The money borrowed can be deducted from next year's payment limit."

Zhao Xu said with a bright smile.

I deeply feel that I am really the best good person in the world and a good friend of Daliao.

As for your question, how did he give money to the Liao people?

Answer: Print it!

Three million Guans have been printed, and this is not bad.

Anyway, now Jiaozi has a good reputation, good liquidity, and a decent turnover rate.

Xing Shu listened and felt frightened.

He calculated it quietly in his mind.

Originally, Song Liao Jiaozi and Song Dynasty had already collected more than 155,800 yuan in handling fees.

When it fell into the hands of the Liao people, less than 2.84 million strings were left.

Suppose you are from Liao and borrow money from Song Dynasty.

For example, if one million guan is used, the official seals 1 million guan, and a tax of almost 52,000 guan is collected first. The Liao people actually get more than 948,000 guan, but they have to pay back 100,000 guan.

One hundred thousand dollars.

Moreover, it will be directly deducted from next year’s payment amount.

Will the Liao people agree?

The most troublesome thing is what happens after they agree.

Although Xing Shu doesn't understand economics, let alone finance, he can figure it out even if he is a fool.

If the Liao people continue to do this, the snowball will get bigger and bigger, and the debt will get bigger and bigger.

Sooner or later, it will happen that the money they owe exceeds the annual payment amount.

This is too dangerous!

This made Xing Shu frightened, but also inexplicably excited.

He suppressed the fear and excitement in his heart and asked: "Your Majesty, Beilu has never been trustworthy. What if..."

Zhao Xu looked at him, looked at the minister with a smile, and said, "I need your help here."

"Senior?" Xing Shu felt his face turn red and his heart beat faster.

At this time, Zhao Xu naturally had to come to terms with Xing Shu.

We can't let him run around aimlessly.

Therefore, Zhao Xu looked at Xing Shu sincerely and said: "Of course! You should slowly find an opportunity to talk to Minister Beilu about the benefits of issuing new Jiaozi based on gold and silver."

The current Song and Liao Jiaozi have done a good job.

With Sui coins as the principal, three million Guanjiaozi were issued.

For Liao people, this is a wealth amplifier.

Zhao Xu looked at Xing Shu and said: "Of course, you must pay attention to the methods and methods, and let the Liao people 'think' of this possibility themselves."

Most politicians with normal intelligence will be suspicious of what others say and will speculate on whether the other party has a conspiracy.

But, just change the method and let them get this result through their own thinking.

Then the offensive and defensive momentum changes.

Zhao Xu had to be reserved and reserved.

"This is not possible!"

"I can't do this kind of thing!"

"Where are you! You've hurt me!"

Xing Shu listened with excitement.

He took a deep breath and bowed sincerely: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"

This is really seeking the country!

As long as it succeeds, the Liao people will hand over the wealth of their country to the Song Dynasty with their own hands.

And what did the Song Dynasty lose?

So far, it seems that there is nothing to lose.

Maybe even make some.

At least, the annual annual coin expenditure is exempted. The silver and silk cloth that should have been sent to the Liao Kingdom have now become premium luxury goods and old tea that could not be sold in the first place and would rot in the treasury.

Tea.

As for Song and Liao Jiaozi, because everyone in the world knows that it has Sui coins as the principal and the credibility of Song and Liao is endorsed, it is simply the best and most convenient currency in the world.

Nowadays, Jiaozi has been widely used in Bianjing City and has become a star of commodity trading.

Every day at Jiaoziwu, there are people exchanging copper coins, and there are also people buying Jiaozi with copper coins, silver, and gold.

The shortage of money in Kaifeng Mansion has been greatly alleviated.

Then, the Liao people may send their gold and silver to the Song Dynasty in the future to continue to exchange for these commodities.

Xingshu felt as if his brain was not used up enough.

He admired the officials who could come up with this solution.

The only problem is-according to the current situation of the Liao people.

Sooner or later they will reach the point where even if they send all the gold and silver in the country to the Song Dynasty, it will not be enough for them to squander.

by that time……
