Chapter 756 You really have a good understanding (second update)

Chapter 765

It was very easy for Zhao Xu, an enterprising young emperor, to agree with Wang Wushan's ideas and opinions. Therefore, before that, he also issued a decree to Wang Wushan, the three-state economic strategy appeasement envoy.

In the newly occupied land, the population is not prosperous, and all industries are withered. It is the land where the Song Dynasty can stabilize the frontier. Wu Shan, the quasi-king, considers ways to increase the population and increase taxes.

And this decree was issued at the time when the Yanzhou smuggling business case broke out. At this time, many important officials in the court were panicked and unwilling to continue to provoke the authority of the emperor at this time, and finally passed the court meeting.

At that time, the exchange condition was that Wang Wushan must ensure that the taxes paid by the three states could not be lower than the average tax paid by the states of Shanxi Road in the Song Dynasty.

After issuing the decree, many important ministers firmly believed that Wang Wushan would not last long. After all, the land of the three states was too barren. Even if a large number of people were relocated, there would still be some. insufficient.

If you want to be equal to the taxes of the states on Shaanxi Road, at least the ministers and workers in the court think that there is no such possibility even if they want to break their heads.

It's a pity that Wang Wushan is none other than Wang Wushan. He has a vision and perspective that is thousands of years ahead of people of this era. Cotton alone is enough to attract a large number of wealthy merchants from the Song Dynasty, even if they pay for every acre of wasteland. Taxes are also willing to risk a lot of investment funds to buy.

And once cotton is successfully planted, it is inevitable that a large number of textile factories will need a large number of laborers, and the sale of a large amount of cotton cloth will inevitably bring generous taxes to the land of the three states.

Even now, these are just expectations, but Zhao Xu can be sure that Wang Wushan will definitely make the faces of those civil and military officials who were happily preparing to watch the jokes of the Three States swell up like pigs' heads.

"...Your Majesty really has a heart. It seems that Your Majesty really trusts Wang Wushan. For Wang Wushan, he even found this old man." Su Dongpo slowly put down the letter in his hand, stroked his long beard, and let out a mouthful. atmosphere.

"Since your majesty has this awareness, it proves that your majesty also agrees with our judgment. The target of the Liao army is likely to be the land of the three states." Zhong Shidao couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

At the beginning, the most worrying thing was the pressure from the court, but now, the emperor's letter gave Su Xueshi and Zhong Shidao a signal. The emperor agreed with their judgment and allowed them to make certain decisions in the territory of Shaanxi Road. Range layout.

But all of this must be based on the premise of not disturbing the court and not attracting the impeachment of many important officials in the court. From this point, it also shows that the emperor agrees with them, but he is also like them. He is not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

In case the Xingda army, which was making a fuss in the Song Dynasty, intends to fight against the Liao Kingdom, but the Liao Army wandered around and went back in a panic, then the Song Dynasty would be ashamed.

Hmm... Face, this thing is still very important, especially for Song Dynasty, a dynasty with a very shameless face.

"Master, how many soldiers and horses can we mobilize to the border with the Three States?" Su Dongpo walked to the map hanging in the hall and stood still.

"If you don't want to disturb the court and many officials on Shaanxi Road, the number of soldiers and horses that can be mobilized will not exceed [-]. The general can use the excuse of inspecting the military equipment in various places to lead the army to cruise around with the three The border between states..." Zhong Shidao frowned and gave his answer after thinking about it for a while.

"Well, that's a good idea, but if the army of the Liao Kingdom suddenly arrives, we will be caught off guard... How about this, the old man will go to the news and ask Wang Wu... Huh? Why are you here, kid?" Before Su Dongpo could finish his sentence, I saw Wang Yang and Wang Wushan rushing into the door.

"I have met Bachelor Su and learned how to be a general. Wang received a letter from His Majesty, so he came here to ask for a bargain from you, Bachelor Su." After saluting, Wang Yang took a sip of warm tea to moisten his throat. Only then did I understand my purpose.

"I see, this old man has just received a letter from His Majesty, and is discussing with the teacher how to help you. I don't think you have rushed to Huanzhou." Su Dongpo was relieved at this moment. smiled.

"Tell me, how do you want the old man and General Zhong to help?"

Wang Yang, who had already found out the case, replied. "Wang hopes that General Zhong can send 5000 troops to enter Yanzhou first. The land of the three states still belongs to Shaanxi Road. Who would dare to stand up and talk about this."

As soon as Wang Yang said this idea, he saw Su Dongpo and Zhong Shidao looked at each other and smiled, as if it was true. "Could it be that the two adults have already thought of this method?"

Su Dongpo stroked his long beard and smiled. "Haha... Just before you entered the door, General Zhong just mentioned this idea. It seems that you really have a good understanding."

Wang Yang and Zhong Shidao, two men with exuberant secretion of male hormones, normal body structure development, and particularly normal sexual orientation, couldn't help shivering in unison, looking at them with disgusted expressions and grinning heartlessly. The laughing Su University scholar all had the feeling of wanting to beat up this Su University talent who was worthy of being called the king of provocations and the map cannon.

"I'm just joking with you two to liven up the atmosphere. Hehe... Come on, Wushan, if you have any other requests, just tell me and listen. If I can help, I will definitely help." Mr. Su still looked proud.

"Since you have said so, bachelor, then I will not be polite." Wang Yang rolled his eyes and said with a bit of toothache. "How about asking Bachelor Su to give me the armaments of the three states?"

"Huh? What do you mean?" Su Dongpo blinked in confusion and didn't quite understand what Wang Yang meant.

"Your Majesty has something to say, to transport two thousand sets of Yuanyou Armor and five thousand handles of Yuanyou Crossbows. However, it may take at least half a month to transport them from Bianliang, Tokyo to Shaanxi Road, no matter how urgently they are rushed. The speed is very high, it is very likely that you will not be in a hurry, so I want to borrow it from you, a bachelor first."

"...Borrow? You mean, first let us give you two thousand sets of Yuanyou armor and five thousand handles of Yuanyou crossbow, and the weapons brought from the capital are in exchange, right?" Mr. Zhong said quickly. Then I understood Wang Yang's intention.

"That's right, that's what it means. I don't know what General Zhong thinks? This is a trade-in for new. For you, General Zhong, this kind of business will definitely make a profit." Wang Yang looked at the bright-eyed Zhong with a smile. Teacher Tao.

"How can you say that, Zhong is not a businessman." Zhong Shidao subconsciously put on a righteous look. "However, as a warrior of the Great Song Dynasty, Chong should consider the gains and losses of the three states as the first choice. Give Chong a three days, and after three days, two thousand sets of Yuanyou Armor and five thousand Yuanyou crossbows will be sold. Luck will arise.”
