Chapter 1092 Shaanxi North Road Cannot Be Without You Wang Jinglue (Second Update)
Chapter 1101

"Wang Yang understands the wishes of my colleagues, but now is definitely not a good time for a showdown between Song Dynasty and Beiliao..." Wang Yang stood up and saluted those colleagues who really cared about their own safety. , analyze it patiently.

Today's Great Song Dynasty is similar in strength to that of the Northern Liao Dynasty. It is impossible to level the world without hurting both sides.

Today, successive victories in the battles on the North Shaanxi Road have greatly boosted the morale and will of the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty, but this is not enough.After all, this is just a situational war.

What's more, Northern Liao is not comparable to a third-rate power like Xixia. Even in these years, the emperor of Northern Liao Yelu Hongji is incompetent, indistinguishable from loyal and evil, and negligent in government affairs, but after all, the foundation of Liao is there.

As the saying goes, a dead camel is bigger than a horse. No matter what happened in Beiliao now, if you empty out your family, you can still get together a million troops. What's more, the area around the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun has experienced more than a hundred years of Liao people. Since the coming rule, many Han people have already regarded themselves as Liao people.

Therefore, if the Song Dynasty really wanted to bring peace to the world, it had a lot of work to do. Not only did its military strength need to be enhanced, but its economic strength also needed to be increased.

Today's Shaanxi North Road can be regarded as the first scale, and the land of the six states is showing a trend of prosperity.Moreover, the [-] frontier army on the North Shaanxi Road is definitely strong and strong, and the soldiers are all brave men who can conquer and fight well.

Moreover, the fortifications of the six prefectures on Shaanxi North Road are the strongest in the world. The cement straight roads between prefectures are completely unobstructed, and the traffic is smooth, which not only makes the commerce and trade of these six prefectures prosperous, but also benefits the army. transfer.

With the current strength of Xixia, there is no way to shake the states on the North Shaanxi Road. As for the Beiliao, hehe, after experiencing this twists and turns, I believe that the morale of the Liao army is getting lower and lower, and they dare not rush to the North Shaanxi Road. up.

Unless Beiliao can gather an army of more than 40 to [-] in the Hedong Road area, and Xixia will attack from both sides with the whole country.Otherwise, Shaanxi North Road should be able to deal with it calmly.

The agricultural loan work on the North Shaanxi Road is going very smoothly. The people who migrated here are working hard with the longing for a happy life in the future and the hope of having enough food and clothing.

With the development of most of Youzhou and the wasteland in the north of Hongzhou, the cotton products industry is becoming more and more prosperous.There are dozens of industries driven by cotton production, more than 300 large-scale workshops, and more than 15 workers are working in the factories.

Every month alone, more than 20 sets of cotton products are sold from Shaanxi North Road to Chang'an Mansion or Bianliang in Tokyo.

In the area of ​​Longzhou, large iron ore and coal mines were discovered, and the smelting industry in the area of ​​Longzhou is also developing rapidly. A large number of iron products are not only sold in the six states of Shaanxi North Road, but also exported to other countries. All roads.

In addition, Longzhou's self-sounding watch has become a landmark product on Shaanxi North Road. This thing is definitely a luxury that makes everyone dumbfounded.

In the territory of the Song Dynasty, the supply is definitely in short supply. Whether it is the Northern Liao Dynasty or the Western Regions, for this price, the lowest price is [-] guan, and the most luxurious even reaches [-] guan bells. They all wave their money and silk. There are goods, eat as much as you have.

It's a pity that only fifteen units are produced each month, which keeps the price of the chime clock high.However, this kind of self-ringing clock can only be produced in Longzhou at present.

Along the wide, straight and gentle concrete straight road, there is an endless stream of vendors from all over the place.Salt products, cotton products, iron products, and various commodities from the Western Regions were also frequently transported into the Song Dynasty via North Shaanxi Road.

Today's land of six states on North Shaanxi Road, although it cannot be compared with the affluent land in the south of the Yangtze River, it has miraculously surpassed many areas. Not only is the commercial development unprecedentedly prosperous, but the animal husbandry has also become an important area in North Shaanxi. The most important thing about the road is that it can provide two thousand good horses for the Song army every year.

Although this number is not large, the problem is that in the past, or before there was no Shaanxi North Road, the Song Dynasty had almost lost all the livestock areas, which made the number of war horses in the Song Dynasty decrease day by day, except for the border towns. , except for the occasional organized cavalry, there are almost no horses in the hinterland of the Song Dynasty.

As a last resort, the new law even came up with a measure related to horse administration, but it was soon abolished because of serious problems.

And the two consecutive wars in the past two years allowed Da Song Company to seize and plunder, harvesting more than a hundred thousand horses.These were all the capital of the Western Xia Dynasty in the Western Regions and the northern grasslands in the past, but now they have become the best weapon for the Song Dynasty to form cavalry troops.

All in all, Shaanxi North Road is now on a booming momentum, developing rapidly towards Wang Yang's original expectation.

However, after hearing Wang Yang's analysis, the faces of all the civil and military personnel present looked so ugly.After all, it is because of his whimsical idea that Shaanxi North Road can exist today. First, he sold barren land to help those Xiang soldiers and their families live and work in peace and contentment on Shaanxi North Road.After that, Chang'an Bank was established, so that more people could move here with peace of mind, take root and multiply.

You must know that Chaoting held a reserved attitude towards the development of North Shaanxi Road at the beginning, but Wang Yang argued hard, and even patted his chest to promise that he would not need a copper coin from Chaoting to support himself.

Although all kinds of Shaanxi North Road have received the full support of the emperor and Su Dongpo's assistance, everyone can say with a pat on the chest, without Wang Yang and Wang Jinglue, there would be no Shaanxi North Road today.

But now, from his tone, it seems that his departure is a foregone conclusion. How can this make the people present happy?

"My lord Wang, we are willing to jointly serve as guarantors, and we can't do without you, Wang Jinglue, on North Shaanxi Road." Gao Shi took a deep breath, stood up boldly, bowed deeply to Wang Yang, and said earnestly.

Hearing this, many civil and military personnel present also stepped forward one after another.And that Zhe Keshi directly patted his chest and said. "It's a big deal, let's push the matter to Zhemou, so what if Zhemou loses his official position and resigns, this Shaanxi North Road, without Zhemou, the impact will not be too big, but without you, Wang Jinglue, no one knows what will happen ..."

"That's right, if another official came here to take charge, the arrangements and arrangements you made might be in vain, my lord. Whether it's the Chang'an Bank, or restricting the cultivation of cotton in fertile fields, by then..." Zongze His face was also very ugly.

Compared with others, Zong Ze, who has been suppressed by those colleagues for more than ten years, knows and understands the tactics and greed of those political officials better.

If Wang Yang's reputation on the North Shaanxi Road was not unparalleled, and if he didn't have the support of the emperor behind him, he might not be able to support him long ago, right?
