In the Xianyu Palace of Xingqing Mansion, Li Liangzuo was guarding outside, Li Liangzuo, who had already had experience, was not so nervous this time, all the concubines outside the door of Xianyu Palace had arrived, and the only one who did not come was Li Ru, because Li Ru was also about to give birth, and Li Liangzuo was not like the scene when Liang Luoyao and Wuzang Feixue were produced at the same time.
Giving birth to a child in ancient times was a particularly dangerous thing, and it could kill pregnant women and babies at any time, Su Qiao'er's heart-rending screams resounded through the real Xianyu Palace, due to the sufficient preparations made before, Su Qiao'er's production was still very smooth, nearly half an hour later, a baby's cry came from the palace.
Li'er hurriedly ran out of it and reported the good news to Li Liangzuo: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, Niang Niang has added a little princess to Your Majesty." ” This is Li Liangzuo's first daughter, and it is also the most favored daughter of Li Liangzuo's life, after Li Liangzuo entered the house, Su Qiaoer was happily holding her child, although Su Qiaoer gave birth to only a daughter, but she was still very happy, although this is a patriarchal era; But Su Qiaoer pays more attention to girls, because this is not an ordinary family but a royal family, in the royal family, princes compete for the throne abound, and there are very few princesses involved in the battle for the throne, Su Qiaoer's idea is very simple, she just hopes that her children can spend their lives happily.
Looking at Li Liangzuo, who teased the child, Su Qiaoer said: "Your Majesty, let's choose a name for the child."
Li Liangzuo said happily: "Just call Li Xin'er Xin'er is the first princess of my Great Xia Kingdom, I immediately decreed that Li Xin was canonized as the princess of Yinchuan, with the title of prince, and when Xin'er grew up to be sixteen years old, she could open a mansion." ” Li Liangzuo's words frightened Li Ru, and at the same time, the other concubines present were also startled, Li Liangzuo's reward for this newborn daughter is not heavy, she was named a princess before she was born, and she was also given the title of prince, and she was able to open a mansion independently in the future, which is simply a step to the sky You must know that when Li Bingchang and Li Wu were born, Li Liangzuo was just rewarded with some property, and now he is also Bai Ding, not much different from ordinary children, the only difference is that they are Li Liangzuo's sons That's all, but Li Xin is different, this is a title, having a title is equivalent to having a fortune, although there is no right now, but this is also a supreme honor Li Xin's birth brought a burst of joy to Li Liangzuo, but soon Li Liangzuo was not happy, and the next day the cabinet meeting continued to be held, and the discussion was still an unresolved issue, after all, this was related to the stability and development of Western Xia.
At the beginning of the meeting, everyone congratulated Li Liangzuo, and then entered the whole, and the problem of grain and tea must be solved as soon as possible.
Zhou Shengcai suggested to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a suggestion. ” "Zhou Aiqing has anything to say, just say it."
Li Liangzuo said to Zhou Shengcai.
Zhou Shengcai said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, Weichen suggested that through smuggling channels, we should purchase grain, tea and other urgently needed strategic materials from the Great Song Dynasty on a large scale, and then build a warehouse city in the depths of Helan Mountain to store these materials, so that they can be used to stabilize prices in peacetime and ensure the supply of our army's military supplies in wartime." ” Li Liangzuo nodded and said: "Zhou Aiqing's method is a good way, but it takes a lot of money, can the treasury support it, Zhou Aiqing, do you have any specific plans?"
Zhou Shengcai took out a plan that had been prepared overnight, handed it to everyone and said: "Your Majesty, my lords, this is a detailed plan made by the lower officials, in fact, this plan is very simple to say; The main ones are two trade routes, the first is our trade with Northern Liao, and the second is our trade with the Great Song Dynasty; First of all, the first step is to buy off the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, organize merchants to purchase grain and tea from the Great Song Dynasty, and then smuggle them into the Great Xia Kingdom, the reason why the merchants are organized is because this also reduces the risk of the imperial court, and can also better protect the reputation of the Great Xia Kingdom; After the merchants transported the materials, the imperial court carried out a unified purchase, and the price could be a little higher, which could increase the enthusiasm of the merchants; After the imperial court purchased these materials, some of them were sealed in Cangcheng in the Helan Mountains as strategic reserves, and the other part was sold to Northern Liao by the imperial court at a price three to four times higher than the market; In this way, we can transfer all the money we need for our strategic reserves to Northern Liao, and we can also conduct secret trade with Southern Liao at the same time, which can be carried out as a merchant, after all, Southern Liao is now richer than Northern Liao. ” Zhou Shengcai's suggestion made Li Liangzuo deeply agree, this guy is simply a profitable business, saying that the popular point is to buy low and buy high, and earn the difference in the middle, the difference is that there are three countries here, and what Xixia wants is not to earn the difference, but to transform these differences into strategic materials for grain and tea.
Li Liangzuo nodded and said with a smile: "This idea is good, as long as it is operated properly, it can be implemented, and according to Zhou Aiqing's vision, the imperial court basically does not need to make any investment except for the need to invest a sum of money in the early stage, not bad, not bad." ” "Your Majesty is not only that, but we can also earn a lot of wealth in it."
Zhou Shengcai saw that he had been affirmed by Li Liangzuo, and immediately continued.
Li Liangzuo said with a smile on his face: "Aiqing has any proposals, and say it together." ” Zhou Shengcai continued: "Your Majesty, most of the areas controlled by Northern Liao are grasslands, and there are not many others on the grasslands, but there are cattle and sheep, and a large number of cattle and sheep will freeze to death in winter; Weichen suggested that we buy a large number of cattle and sheep from the Northern Liao region, then slaughter them to make jerky or pickle them in clay pots, and then transport them to the Great Song Dynasty for sale; Although the Great Song Dynasty is rich in grain, but the meat is very expensive, ordinary people can't afford it at all, in addition, the northern velvet, medicinal materials, ginseng, deer antler velvet and other things are very popular in the Great Song Dynasty; The imperial court could make unified purchases on the northern border, and then hand them over to merchants to sell to the Great Song Dynasty, and the money obtained would be shared between the imperial court and the merchants, so that the risk of the imperial court would be greater; Of course, it can also be purchased by the merchants themselves, so that the risk of the imperial court will be much smaller; In addition, the imperial court can also introduce advanced technologies from the Great Song Dynasty, such as silkworm raising, porcelain burning, textile, papermaking, printing, etc., on the one hand, to change the backward technology in China, on the other hand, the imperial court organized the establishment of workshops in the Hehuang region and Ningxia region, with these technologies are important to be able to produce, these products can be sold to the countries of the Western Regions through the Silk Road; In this way, the profits obtained are much greater than the taxes collected from passing merchants, and the formation of workshops can be divided into two forms: one is government-run and the other is private; However, in terms of technology, it is necessary to prevent leakage of secrets, and not to spread these advanced technologies to the west of Liangzhou, and to obtain long-term profits through the monopoly of technology."
Zhou Shengcai crackled and said a lot, Li Liangzuo was stunned when he heard it, and even Li Liangzuo began to wonder if this guy had crossed over, in fact, Zhou Shengcai's suggestion was very simple, in today's words, it is to introduce technology to establish a production base, so that Xixia is not only a transit country for these commodities but a manufacturing country, so that Xixia can slowly get rid of the serious dependence on the Great Song Dynasty.
