Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Wang Zonglin said excitedly.

Because he has shares in Dasong Anbei Trading Co., although it is only 0.1%, but the turnover has reached 2000 million guan, and he can distribute at least [-] guan every year.

It can be divided every year!

"How much military spending do you need?"

"300 million guns is enough, I have calculated it, I have calculated it with Zhang Xianggong!"

Zhang Jun said: "Three million guan is indeed enough, but the grassland is not so easy to surrender, Mobei is vast and sparsely populated."

Gao Qiu immediately said: "Master Zhang, we don't want the Mobei Grassland to surrender, we want the other party to do business with us friendly! Let the grassland people graze for us, and let it become the pasture of Song Dynasty!"

It is rare that Gao Qiu and Wang Zonglin are on the same front.

"The killing is so cruel, as long as the grassland ministries are willing to sell us all the cattle and sheep, we are willing to give them money!"

Next, Wang Zonglin uttered his famous saying: "What is the most important? People are the most important. Keeping people can generate value!"

Gao Qiu then said: "Yes! The people in the grassland are grazing with peace of mind. Every year, they help us cultivate cattle and sheep, and cultivate cattle and sheep for the people of the Song Dynasty, so that the people of the Song Dynasty can eat cattle and sheep! There is also Hexi! Oh, and the Western Regions !"

For the first time, officials of the Great Song Dynasty showed such enthusiasm for external expansion.

Wang Zonglin continued: "At present, we have already had some trade with the Qiyan tribe, but the price of their cattle and sheep is too high, and the Tatar tribe is not willing to trade with us at all. Why? This is because these Tatars have not experienced it. The iron hooves of the Song Dynasty, they want to control the right to speak, and those who have done business know that it is very unfavorable for the other party to control the pricing power!"

He then took Dasong Donghai Trading Co., Ltd. as an example, and said: "I received a reply from Han Shizhong yesterday, saying that Japanese sulfur can be sold to us at the price of cabbage, and we can sell a bolt of silk to Japan for three guan. Eight times the local price! Why? Because the Japanese have already felt the power of my court!"

Zhao Ning couldn't listen anymore. Wang Zonglian used to sit in the mansion, eat, drink and have fun when he had nothing to do. He never asked about side affairs and had no interest at all.

Now it suddenly seemed like a different person.

Like Wang Zonglin, there are still many people around.

Since the establishment of various commercial companies in the imperial court one after another in the past few months, a group of core officials in the Song Dynasty have been beaten like chicken blood.

Not only Sijing, but even Hu Quan of Chang'an City has been extremely excited recently. He is making great efforts to gather influential businessmen in the Northwest in Chang'an to speed up the construction of the Northwest Silk Road.

Zhang Jun said: "Your Majesty, King Kang has also sent a letter to the Military and Political Yuan, hoping that the imperial court can send troops to Sanfoqi as soon as possible."

"Has the list of shareholders of Nanhai Trading Company been arranged?"

"It's settled, and I have sent an official document to Nanhai to Li Bao." Qian Yuqing took over the words, "Li Bao has become one of the shareholders of Dasong Nanhai Trading Co. affairs."

Zhao Ning thought for a while and said, "I want to set Ling Yamen as a tax-free city. All businessmen can be tax-free when they come to Ling Yamen. What do you think?"

"Officials, why is that, don't you want the wasted money?" Wang Zonglin said immediately.

"No, I want merchants to quickly gather at Lingya Gate and build it there to become an outpost for westward advance! I want the caravans of Song Dynasty to carry artillery and enter Zhucharian and Dashi Kingdom!"

Chapter 1312 Song and Jin conspired on the grassland at the same time? (third change)

Lu Yihao said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say about this."

"Lu Xianggong, but it's okay to say."

"In the past few months, there have been some rumors and gossips in the court. Some people say that the court is doing this for profit and forgetting righteousness. Inciting people to riot."

"They're all clowns!" Gao Qiu said disdainfully, "I guess those who say these words are either some officials, or some wealthy children who have no worries about food and clothing, or shallow people from ordinary families who are supported by their parents. !"

"Either you think you won't get a share of the pie, and you feel jealous, or you don't have the pressure to survive, and you think about giving advice all day long, or you just want to find some righteous articles to impress yourself. Who knows that your majesty is doing this for Those people who don’t have enough to eat and don’t wear warm clothes!”

"This villain's words, Lu Xianggong, you tell the subordinates, and the subordinates will punish them!"

Zhao Ning said: "Lu Xianggong's words are reasonable. Some people have a biased understanding of this matter, which is understandable. Not everything will be understood, and not everyone will be recognized, let alone Every strategy has only advantages and no disadvantages."

In fact, any method in the world, while solving problems, will extend to new problems over time.

The development of human society develops in a spiral manner in such a process of problem solving and rebirth.

"If someone wants to say something, let them say it. I won't silence everyone. The country is getting stronger and the people's lives are getting richer. Can there be a few different voices?"

He added: "Just now Wang Zongyi said that he would send troops to Anbei, is the Military and Political Academy ready?"

"We have already made preparations. Several businessmen who have invested in the stock are willing to provide a large amount of logistics at a low price, including the largest grazing company in the Yinshan area. If His Majesty wants to launch a war in the coming year, the logistics materials are always available."

"Okay, Wang Zonglian, you want to hit the loudest, just you, go to Anbei Mansion, and meet Yue Fei on my behalf, and convey the meaning of the court."

"Your Majesty, my minister..."

"Ok?"

"Sir, go here."

In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the 14th year of Jingkang, and the officials of all ministries were very busy, but Zhao Ning was leisurely.

On December [-]th, Chen Gui brought new silver coins to Wende Hall.

Chen Gui said: "At present, 200 million silver coins of one penny have been minted, 600 million silver coins of ten pennies have been minted, 1000 million silver coins of one hundred pennies have been minted, and [-] silver coins of consistent money have been minted. It takes time to refine silver, and it takes time to transport silver mines back from Japan.”

"It's okay, let's put the money into Donghai Trading Company and Nanhai Trading Company first. The most lacking thing is currency. The disadvantages of paying money at sea are becoming more and more obvious. Now I want to throw a lot of money at sea to revitalize ocean trade!"

"Yes!"

On December 29, Wang Zonglin crossed the snow-covered sandy land, arrived in Anbei City, and met Yue Fei.

Wang Zonglin tremblingly held a cup of hot tea and began to eat it.

After eating almost, I started to drink mutton soup again. After drinking the soup and eating the meat, I calmed down.

"Yue Shuai, this is an imperial edict from the government. It is about your shareholding in Anbei Trading Company. The specific percentage and annual dividends are all written on it."

Yue Fei took it curiously, opened it and read it carefully.

"Is this the official idea?"

"It was mentioned by the officials to many important ministers in the early court, not only you, but also Niu Gao and Yang Zaixing, but the proportions are different. In addition, Zhang Xian also had it. Although Wang Gui was demoted because of the last incident, But the officials remembered their old feelings and gave it to them."

Yue Fei couldn't help but frowned slightly, and said: "The officials have really many good strategies for governing the country."

"Yue Shuai is right. When the officials mentioned it, I was shocked." Wang Zonglian laughed.

This was the first time he had talked with this famous general so closely.

Wang Zonglin couldn't help being surprised, Yue Fei was serious and serious, it was true.

It is true that Yue Fei is as imposing as a mountain.

Those who fought were indeed not ordinary people.

"Yue Shuai, if you want to take the initiative to attack Mobei, how long will it take to finish the battle?"

"War is about the purpose." Yue Fei said calmly.

"The purpose is to let the prairie people sell us cattle and sheep at a low price."

"In this way, is it different from the purpose of the Celestial Empire's war against the grassland in the past?"

Yue Fei felt that this was very interesting. In the past, the purpose of the Central Plains' war on the grasslands was mainly to disarm the grasslands and prevent the grasslands from going south to harass.

The Central Plains is not interested in the prairie land, where no crops can be grown and taxes cannot be collected. As long as the prairie people do not come down, the Central Plains is not willing to go north.

Even the Anbei Protectorate's Mansion at the peak of the Tang Dynasty's territory only stationed some troops there to prevent the regeneration of grassland power from threatening the Central Plains.

"It's really different." Wang Zongyi said, "For us, it is necessary to weaken the force of the grassland and tap the potential of the grassland. If the cattle and sheep on the grassland continue to move southward, it can also benefit one party. Dao, different from the way of war, the way of war is about defeating the opponent, while the way of business is about symbiosis.”

Yue Fei said: "I'm afraid only the way of business can't completely solve the problem."

"Yue Shuai is right. Only the way of business can't solve the problem. After all, business can't benefit everyone. Those who don't benefit from the grassland will soon rebel and disrupt the business between the two. That's why Yue Shuai is needed to deter Those Tatars, as for the follow-up, the imperial court will send officials to the grasslands to promote the way of saints, and will also send people to the grasslands to build cities so that the people of the grasslands can settle down."

Yue Fei said: "The most important thing is food. The Tatars are not full, so they want to go south."

"That's why I said that the way of business is symbiotic. We can't rob their cattle and sheep. We buy them with money. The grassland people can also use money to buy our grain and tea. This will last for a long time. You can only rob once."

Hearing this, Yue Fei couldn't help laughing. He seldom laughed, but now he smiled sincerely.

"Is this also His Majesty's intention?"

"Yes."

Yue Fei said: "Your Majesty's sage is far superior to the kings of all dynasties."

After speaking, Yue Fei walked to the map. He looked at the map of Mobei, pondered for a moment, and said: "The Tata'er Department has a close relationship with the Kingdom of Jin, so let's take the Tata'er Department first."

"Is Tatar powerful?"

"The grassland Tatars are brave and good at fighting, but if the master is well prepared and can quickly find the opponent's position, he can defeat the opponent."

Wang Zonglin said: "After defeat, immediately send envoys to talk."

After chatting with Yue Fei for a while, Wang Zonglin walked out of the house curiously, and wandered around Anbei City.

In the evening, I even took a stroll out of the city.

Anbei City in winter is barren, with no life in sight.

But at night, the city is very lively.

Wang Zonglian actually sold many handicrafts in the night market in the city.

Of course, for a profiteer like Wang Zonglian, buying handicrafts is not because he likes it, but because he is investigating the economic situation of Anbei City.

Not only handicrafts, Wang Zonglin also bought grain from Wuyuan County.

This means that Yinshan can be developed into a large economic belt. No wonder a few years ago, the government wanted to immigrate 20 people to Yinshan.

Chapter 1313 Dimensionality reduction strikes the grassland (first update)

From the end of the 14th year of Jingkang, Anbei City began to quietly prepare supplies.

On the day of the New Year, Yue Fei summoned the three big businessmen who were active in Anbei Duhufu to the Shuaifu in Anbei City, and introduced them to Wang Zonglin.

These people are Wang Bubu, the largest ranch merchant, Liu Zhongjing, a tea merchant, and Tian Cuo, a grain merchant.

Looking for three people does not mean that there are only three merchants in Yinshan, but that these three merchants all have official backgrounds, and they do the largest business in the grassland.

The current total population of the Yinshan area has reached 20, which is equivalent to the size of ten counties.

And as the war situation stabilized and animal husbandry developed, the number of people continued to increase.

This is the confidence of private businessmen in the military power of the imperial court.

Wang Zonglin took out three contracts, which belonged to the Anbei Trading Company. He said, "Everyone, take a good look. This is an official document of the imperial court."

The three took it carefully, read it carefully, and looked at each other.

"The imperial court is now going to use troops on the grassland. You need to know the movements of the grassland people. You have been doing business here for several years. I open the skylight and say the truth. The imperial court needs you. In order to let you serve the court sincerely, instead of staying in Verbally playing the trick of singing praises with the official in secret, I specially approved to let you enter the Dasong Anbei Trading Company."

The three of them are still at a loss, the amount of information is indeed too great.

So next, Wang Zonglin introduced the ins and outs of Anbei Trading Company to these three people in the most direct and clear way.

After listening, Wang Zhiwei picked up the teacup tremblingly, and with a bang, the teacup accidentally dropped from his hand and fell to pieces.

"Forgive me, Taiwei Wang, the grassroots didn't do it on purpose."

"Hey, what are you doing to see outsiders like this, you will be your own people in the future." Wang Zonglin said kindly.

Wang Zonglian has a strong businessman's aura, and businessmen like to talk about interests, but don't like to talk about power suppression.

"Not everyone is qualified to sign this contract. If the three of you want to sign this contract, there are conditions. They will meet all of Yue Shuai's needs. Of course, this officer emphasizes again that the court's principle is that multiple parties Mutual benefit, the imperial court will not forcefully ask for your goods, each item is clearly marked with a price, and the imperial court pays for the purchase, His Majesty is looking at the long-term situation, rather than killing the blood dry after a knife."

Liu Zhongjing said: "How do we cooperate with the imperial court?"

"Grain merchants provide grain for sale, tea merchants deliver tea to the grasslands, tea prices must be set reasonably, and grain merchants deliver grain to the grasslands."

"Isn't this becoming an enemy?" Tian Cuo, a grain merchant, said in surprise, "It's unjust!"

"Enemy?" Wang Zonglian said, "The cattle, sheep, and horses in the grassland all go south, and the minerals in the grassland all go south! What the emperor wants is not to kill the Tatars, to be majestic, what the emperor wants is to be able to see, touch The goods obtained, the people of the Song Dynasty need these! What is righteousness? To borrow your Majesty's words, to let the common people have enough to eat is righteousness!"

While the three of them were shocked, Liu Zhongjing said, "What should the grassroots do?"

Wang Zonglin looked at Yue Fei, and Yue Fei said, "Does Tata understand?"

Liu Zhongjing said: "Caomin sold tea to them."

"Can you find where they are roosting?"

"The Tata'er tribe migrates frequently, but the Caomin people can indeed find their place."

Wang Zonglian took over the conversation and said: "The ministries of the grassland are false and obsequious about the imperial court's business policy. The imperial court plans to send troops to teach the Tataer tribe a lesson and completely clean up the order of the grassland. There will only be more interests in the grassland."

Power is a complicated thing. Systems can empower people, but information can also empower people.

Let's just say that at this time Yue Fei had [-] soldiers in the Anbei Protectorate, so it should not be difficult to teach the prairie people a lesson.

But where did Yue Fei go to find Tata's department?

Of course, Yue Fei must have his own scouts and agents.
