This news was really a coincidence. Just when the grassland was still considering whether it was feasible to exchange people for food or not, a news came from the Jin Dynasty that made Song Beiyun shout "I know it."

There is chaos in the country in Jin Dynasty.

The cause is still the battle between the two Jin Dynasties. The Jin Dynasty entered its weakest moment since its founding fifty-five years ago. Originally, the current Jin emperor could still suppress the princes who were once divided into different tribes by relying on powerful centralized means. Now, because the Central Army was seriously injured after the battle between the two Jin Dynasties, the seven princes began to be ready to move.

This incident was just about to move, but one of the princes of the Jin Kingdom made a mistake after drinking and said some ruthless words, which aroused the suspicion of Jin Shizu. Then he followed the clues and found out what the foolish prince prepared for the uprising.

After that, it is naturally necessary to be tried. In order to protect himself, the remaining kings raised troops overnight to rebel. Now they are stationing troops in the Jin Dynasty, four hundred miles south of Shangjing, and facing Shangjing.

When the news came, the Jin army had fought dozens of battles with the rebels, and both sides suffered casualties. Now it was obviously after the beginning of autumn. In two months, it would be the cold winter in the north. If the war continued like this, something might happen.

Xiao Song immediately convened all senior officials in Yongzhou for a meeting, which was about how to prevent the climate from changing the confrontation between the two armies of the Jin Dynasty.

Speaking of which, the Jin Dynasty was not very short of food, and the land there was still very fertile. In addition, it was backed by the large and small Xing'an Mountains and other beautiful lands and beautiful waters, and there were several rivers to nourish it, so food was not the primary thing they were short of.

Therefore, the attractiveness of grain to them is not as good as that to grasslands, but the Jin Kingdom had a big problem, that is, the overall industry was relatively backward, and it was only a little better than the grasslands. It did not appear to be a military competition behind the brothers and brothers, leading to a sound and developed industrial system.

"Do you have any good ideas? Let's just say it. This is not a court, and we are not thinking about expanding territory. We just want to get some money from outside the pass to spend money."

Xiao Song was sitting in the conference room and sweating profusely. Qiu Hu was still a little powerful. Even in the Little Ice Age, the hot weather was still so hot that it was so hot that it was panicking.

His proposal made subordinates at all levels discuss it whisperedly, and some people advocated taking the opportunity to put pressure on the Jin Kingdom to let them cede some land.

But this idea was quickly rejected because even if it was ceased, it would eventually make the Liao Kingdom get a bargain. After all, a piece of enclave is placed next to the Liao Kingdom, which is no less than a piece of fat meat placed at the mouth of a big yellow dog.

Some people also say that they took the opportunity to fight with the Jin Kingdom in an undeclared battle and fought for the dominance outside the pass once.

But this idea was rejected by Song Beiyun. Not to mention that fighting without declaration is a taboo. Fighting without declaration is equivalent to telling the world that Song State is actually an ambitious beast and may invade other countries at any time. The end result is to make enemies on all sides. No one will take Song State to play. Liao State will inevitably hold troops to Song State carefully at the border, which is very unfavorable to Song State's international public opinion and domestic political pressure.

Just say what should we do after we have gained dominance? After all, there is a Liao Kingdom separated from the pass outside the pass, and the Liao Kingdom is not a weak country. How can a normal country allow other countries to form a siege on themselves? After all, both Song and Liao need the two Jins as buffer points for conflict. Destroying any country may lead to the outbreak of a comprehensive conflict.

There is no power to unify now. If East Asia falls into chaos again, the previous rest and rest strategies will be basically done. In addition, the natural and man-made disasters will follow, and the population of the vast Central Plains may wither to an unbearable level.

Population is the primary productive force today. It is difficult to produce some of it, but it cannot be completely covered.

Therefore, the method that may lead to a total war is the lowest strategy, which Xiao Song will definitely not pass.

"Mr. Song, the official believes that whether it is sending troops or negotiating, this should be the responsibility of Jinling." Xia Shu raised his head and looked around. As the second-in-command, he couldn't listen to the arrogant words of the people under his command: "Chang'an cannot send troops lightly, autonomy is not self-reliance. Please think twice, sir."

Then he continued: "Whether Jinling sends troops or not is the matter for Jinling. We just need to think about how to make money. Now Chang'an does not have much money or food."

Xiao Song nodded and said, "Mr. Xia said so well, I wonder what Lord. Mr. Xia has great ideas?"

Xia Feng stood up and clasped his fists at Song Beiyun: "Master Song, you can't talk about it. Just as Xia Guan thought, it would be best if he took advantage of this moment to use swords, armor, iron tools, fine salt, leather and other items from the other end of the grassland to exchange for grain and ore back to the Jin Kingdom."

Xiao Song nodded slightly. He thought this was feasible. It was stupid to exchange money, but it was no problem to exchange hard currency. The Northeast is a rich place, with fishery and mining in relatively developed areas. If these fine arts are used to exchange for their raw materials and other materials, it would be the best.

A steel knife is made of twenty kilograms of iron ore, but a Changan steel knife can be exchanged for two hundred kilograms of iron ore. High technology added value is what you can do whatever you want.

They followed this idea and saw what secondary supplies could be extracted from all aspects.

First of all, there are iron products. Chang'an has not many, but iron products. In addition to conventional steel knives and spears, there are also various armor and vests. These are all exported goods, with large output, fast forming and relatively little consumption. In addition, the continuous innovation of water forging and casting technology, the cost of a good steel knife is less than a common price, and the armor is about five cents.

But if you sell it, the profit of the steel knife can reach ten times, and the armor can go up twenty times.

"Then the question is now, who will I sell it to?" An official below asked curiously: "Is it for the Jin Kingdom or the rebels?"

Xiao Song looked at him lazily: "Mr. Xu, you have never done business at first sight. This kind of thing is naturally selling at both ends. Whoever is stronger will sell less, and whoever is weak will sell more."

This method is common in the future, but it is not an exaggeration to describe it in this era. Many people secretly talk about it when they hear Song Beiyun's method, and they feel that Song Beiyun is indeed not a thing.

"How is the yield of cotton coats?" Xiao Song turned his head and asked.

Immediately, an official in charge of the workmanship stood up and said, "Since two years ago, cotton has gradually become popular in Xixia and other places. By the middle of last year, millions of acres of land had been cultivated and planted, and the harvest per mu was about 200 kilograms. If it is ready-made clothes, bedding, etc., it is calculated as six kilograms of bedding and three kilograms of clothing, which can be as many as one million pieces of finished products."

"But the production capacity cannot keep up." Xiao Song waved his hand: "You go and preside over it. From now on, all textile workshops and factories in Chang'an will stop making silk, renovating cotton coats, and quilts. Before winter comes, we will produce 100,000 finished products."

Cotton is now the main economic crop in Xixia. After the defeat, the military system was castrated and a large amount of war compensation was borne. Therefore, their forage grass is almost abandoned, and the vacant land is planted with cotton. Chang'an has almost unlimited acquisitions and the price is still good, so cotton is being planted throughout the northwest.

So there is not a lot of cotton in stock, but the problem is that it really cannot be made. After all, that thing needs to be processed twice or even three times, and it requires people! People!

But it is precisely because of this, coupled with the unique warmth and breathability of cotton, cotton products are now very popular on the market. One piece is filled with cotton and a coat with green cloth on the outside, and it can even be fried for three or four cents of money each.

After deciding on the next plan, Xiao Song suddenly looked up and said, "Tomorrow I will summon two Jin envoys at the same time, as well as several big shopkeepers of the Ministry."

Walking out the door, Xiao Song went to the place where the ice sold, ordered a portion of ice syrup. He squatted outside in the shade while eating while watching the wild dogs fighting on the roadside.

His eyes were straight and he was tracing his mind quickly.

The first five-year plan is about to end, and Xiao Song has basically completed the work arrangements for this five-year plan. The deployment of the next five-year plan has also been in place, with the focus still on ships, shipping, food development, disaster response, financial risk control, education popularization and farmers' burden reduction. Of course, there are some other contents, but none of them are in the first place.

As for industry, this is a long-term plan and will not change with the change of the five-year plan.

When he thought of the ship, he thought of the sea. When he thought of the sea, he thought of Japan. When he thought of Japan... he thought of the Zi Shibu.

"Why haven't my female secretary come yet?"

Xiao Song whisked a mouthful of shaved ice: "You can't spend all day with men..."

At this time, a shadow shook in front of him, blocking his sight. When he looked up, he saw a woman wearing a small green skirt. When he looked closely, he found that it was...

"Good, Xiaoyu... Hello...ah." Song Beiyun's word "slut" could not be expressed in the end. After all, Xiaoyu is not the kind of person who can joke, he will be shy...

Although it really looks very sexy.

Xiaoyu looked at Song Beiyun with a smile: "Hello, Lord Song..."

"You have a rest today, where have you gone to play?"

"Well... I went to Qiuji, it was not interesting. So I bought a dress. Lord Song said he liked it, so I put it on for him to see."

"Okay, okay..." Xiao Song nodded with a smile: "Okay, I can come more of this in the future."

Before he could finish his words, a shocking sound suddenly rang out of the south gate of the city. He was stunned for a moment, threw down the bowl in his hand, cursed, carried the long robe and ran towards the south of the city.
