Chapter 673 I make my own decision
As soon as Guli Pei Luo left, the Jinluan Palace exploded.
"Your Majesty, you must not act like this."
"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty will never sit and watch us transport copper ore to the Turks!"
Zhuge Liang and Liu Ji were still calm, but Su Qin and Zhang Yi could no longer sit still and tried to dissuade him one after another.
As diplomats from Daxia, the two of them were envoys to the Han and Tang dynasties.
Especially Su Qin, who had been on a mission to the Tang Dynasty. Although he had made the civil and military officials speechless in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it can be seen that the civil and military officials in the Tang Dynasty were brave and virtuous. If Li Ye and the Turks reached such an agreement, the two sides would still maintain friendship.
The relationship will break down instantly.
The Tang Dynasty will not sit idly by and there is also the risk of starting a war easily.
"If the Turks took our copper and exchanged weapons and armor with Dayuan, the Tang Dynasty would definitely raise troops to attack me..."
Su Qin wanted to say something else, but Li Ye waved his hand to stop him.
"I have my own decision on this matter."
"Don't worry, I know this is dangerous. If I make a fuss, I will let the Turks see clearly and let me think about it..."
He closed his eyes and kept thinking in his heart.
Below, Su Qin and Zhang Yi closed their mouths angrily and waited for the follow-up.
"Brother Liu, why do you think Your Majesty accepts such a proposal?"
Zhuge Liang stood beside Liu Ji and whispered.
Liu Ji didn't know what Yang Guang and Li Ye had made a secret agreement, so he just shook his head and smiled bitterly, and couldn't figure it out.
He is smart and has a thorough understanding of things, but he is not a real semi-immortal.
Seeing that he was like this, Zhuge Liang also understood that this person, like him, had been concealed many things.
"well……"
He sighed softly, closing his eyes and resting.
After a moment, Li Ye opened his eyes and he had an idea.
"Previously, I reached two agreements with Yang Guang."
Yang Guang?
The few people below were confused.
When Li Ye met Yang Xuangan and Li Mi, only the rotating Secretary Heshen and the rotating general Jun Yue Fei were on the side.
They only knew that the envoys of the Great Sui Dynasty entered the capital.
The fact that the Emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty has not yet spread in Daxia.
Zhuge Liang changed his mind quickly, remembered Yang Guang's identity, and asked, "Your Majesty said, is Yang Guang, the second prince of the Great Sui Dynasty?"
“That’s right.”
"But Yang Guang has succeeded to the throne and is now the new emperor of the Great Sui Dynasty."
"I see."
Zhuge Liang looked up at Li Ye with his eyes open and thought.
"I wonder what agreement has Your Majesty reached with Emperor Yang Guang of Sui?"
"Yang Guang plans to destroy Goguryeo and ask me to send troops to help."
"oh?"
Liu Ji, who was standing next to Zhuge Liang, was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty is going to go on an expedition to Goguryeo?"
"Liu Qing, don't worry." Li Ye waved his hand and told him to rest as he was a little restless, and explained.
"Of course, I will not let the soldiers of the Great Xia be killed or injured in vain. Goguryeo is not qualified to let the Great Xia and Great Sui army send troops to attack at the same time. I just hoard troops on the border and restrain Goguryeo's troops."
Hearing this, several people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Goguryeo is not afraid of it, but it is the last vassal state of the Yuan Dynasty around Daxia.
Anyone can be destroyed, but Xia cannot, otherwise it will anger Dayuan.
Although they are not afraid of Dayuan, Daxia's civil and military officials know that Daxia is not qualified to compete with Dayuan.
"I sent troops to restrain Goguryeo. Yang Guang will give me eight cities in the southwest of the Sui Dynasty. I originally wanted to hand over these eight cities to the Tang Dynasty in exchange for plowing oxen and commercial tax preferential treatment, but this happened...
…”
When Li Ye said this, he paused deliberately and looked at several ministers.
Zhuge Liang and Liu Ji were both looking down and pondering, while Su Qin and Zhang Yi both looked eager to try.
"Is this a mission again?"
Li Ye chuckled in his heart, waiting for the result of Zhuge Liang and Liu Ji's thinking.
One person has a short plan, three people have a long plan.
Li Ye wants to hear the opinions of these two top advisers.
"Your Majesty wants to exchange the Turks for cattle directly?" Liu Ji asked.
On the grassland, there are many cattle and sheep.
After Daxia got Hetao, there was no shortage of horses, but cattle and sheep. In particular, Li Ye was supporting the policy of more births and more breeding, preparing for the expansion of the army. The existing plowing oxen in Daxia was a little scarce.
In addition to the vast land of Dayuan, the country with the most cattle and sheep in the world belongs to the Tang Dynasty and Turks in the north of Daxia.
"Yes, I do plan so, and..."
"Let me tell me."
"And I know that the Turks want to sell my Daxia coins to Dayuan, and Dayuan uses coins to benefit from the mutual market. However, if my Daxia coins can take this opportunity, they will be in the Turkic territory, or even the Dayuan.
Is the country unobstructed?"
"Your Majesty means?!"
Zhuge Liang and Liu Ji were shocked. They seemed to understand what Li Ye wanted to do, but they were a little vague and couldn't say it.
The ancient economic system and the modern economic system are completely different concepts.
This is especially true after the emergence of credit currency.
As smart as Liu Ji and Zhuge Liang, if you want to understand what Li Ye expressed immediately, you have to learn a certain amount of time and have a general idea of the economy itself.
Even if they were like this, could the Turks and Dayuan see through it?
Li Ye was proud of himself and did not keep it a secret, and continued to explain.
"I plan to increase copper mineral output and trade with Turkic cattle and horses."
"At that time, I will issue a commercial decree. Daxia merchants will only accept Daxia coins for trading. Over time, Dayuan and Turks will rely on Daxia coins. At that time, whether Turks or Dayuan, they want to attack my Daxia.
The country must be in turmoil!”
"At that time, even if I, Daxia, attacked, I am afraid that there would be complaints among the Turks and Dayuan."
Li Ye’s simple words made Zhuge Liang and Liu Ji even more confused.
"Your Majesty, the Turks may accept it, but will the Dayuan?" Zhuge Liang asked.
"Da Yuan won't, but what if I made Da Xia coins more valuable than Da Yuan coins?"
"I always bought a big yuan coin, but I can only buy one big summer linen, but I can buy three feet more with my big summer coins. What do you think will the merchants from both countries do?"
Li Ye looked at Zhuge Liang with a smile.
The latter's eyes lit up and he praised it in his heart.
He had never encountered this method before.
Silver is silver, and its value lies in the goods purchased, not in the style.
Even if silver is not a ingot of a certain country, broken silver is also money.
"Your Majesty, there is another problem." Liu Ji said.
"Let me say Liu Qing."
"The copper mines in the Jurchen territory may be able to support the trade between Daxia and the Yuan Turks, but there are not many silver mines in my territory."
Silver mine, this is a problem.
Li Ye's eyes were deep, and he thought of the Japanese pirates across the sea.
There are many silver mines within the Japanese pirate island country.
Previously, he just wanted to destroy Silla, and faced the Japanese pirates across the sea, and threatened the Japanese pirates not to rage all over the south of the Yangtze River again. He did not want to transition to the sea to destroy the Japanese. Now it seems that destroying the Japanese pirates is also a good choice.
"Liu Qing doesn't have to worry, I have already got an idea about this."
To destroy the Japanese, you need to cross the sea, and the naval battle was not the director of the Daxia. Li Ye did not want to propose it now, which made several people distressed.
Seeing that Liu Ji wanted to ask questions, Li Ye waved to stop him.
