Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 207 Super big business

"I don't know if Brother Li has heard of such things as cement?"

Li Guangyan nodded and said: "I have heard of it. I heard that it is a new thing. It is used to build houses. It is a rare thing even in the Song Dynasty. But what does this have to do with our party members? In fact, our party members rarely build houses. , most of them live in tents, and you can see that there are so many houses in Xiazhou, but they are all Han Chinese.”

Sun Yue smiled and said: "Building a house is just an added value of cement. Its real function is actually to cast cities and build roads."

"Forging a city? Building roads?"

"Let's put it this way, to build a strong city as big as Xiazhou, you need to mobilize 10 people to build it day and night, and it will take more than a year to complete it, and it can almost empty the entire Dingnan Wuzhou for ten years. However, with cement, if bricks are fired on the spot, I can repair an identical city with 3000 people in three months."

"What the hell? Xiazhou City can be repaired in three months with 3000 people? This...is this fetish so powerful?"

"Yes, it is so powerful, and besides cement, it costs almost nothing. My Song Dynasty can even provide labor to help you build the city. Of course, it needs to be exchanged for horses. Think about it, now the entire Dingnan Five States have only Xiazhou can be called a big city, if there are dozens of such big cities in Dangxiang, and even every tribe has such a big city, what does it mean?
The enemies in the Hexi Corridor, to put it bluntly, are those Uyghurs of all sizes, big and small, who have built a hundred or so Uighurs for you, are they still your opponents?Even if you have to pay some price, what's the point? "

Li Guangyan's eyes widened. Dozens of big cities like Xiazhou?No, you don’t need that many. As long as there are such big cities in the five states of Dingnan, the national strength of the party will at least double!They party members even have a chance to live a good life like the people of Song Dynasty!
What's more, Dingnan Wuzhou is actually only a part of Dangxiang. Although Dangxiang is not as chaotic as Uyghur and Tubo, it is actually very complicated internally. There are still many white and black party items. Dingnan Wuzhou is only the highest level of Chinese. It's just the closest to the Han people.

They are also nomads, why are the Khitan people so rich and powerful, and the Yelu clan so eloquent?Isn't it because they have the city and the sixteen states of Yanyun? If there is such a magic weapon, then I must be in five states. Why can't I become Yanyun of their party members?
If the Tuoba clan could really master such an artifact, wouldn't it be easy to unify the party?Isn't their family going to produce a Yelu Abaoji?
Thinking of this, Li Guangyan's breathing became heavy.

Sun Yue took the opportunity to add: "In addition to building the city, the more powerful part of this cement is actually building roads. The northwest is bitterly cold, the mountains are poor, and there are deserts and Gobi everywhere. Even if it is a galloping horse, it is not easy to communicate between tribes. To put it bluntly. , Isn’t it because there is no road, with this cement, taking Qinzhou and Xiazhou as examples, to build a straight concrete road, 2000 people, two months is enough.”

They are all smart people. It is not necessary for Sun Yue to say how this road will benefit their Tuoba clan's unified party. Li Guangyan grabbed Sun Yue's hand and said: "Do it, let's do it. As you said, it can really be built, and the Hexi Corridor of the Song Dynasty is guaranteed by our party."

Sun Yue smiled and said: "Brother Li, can you be the leader of the party? The Hexi Corridor is a big project, a big plan. If you really want to see the benefits, it will take ten or eight years. This matter I'd better talk to your uncle, if Brother Li can give me some good words, brother, I will be grateful."

"Don't talk about that, I can't be the leader of the party, but if my uncle wants to be the leader of Yinzhou, he must ask me first. Brother, you can directly offer a real price. I want to build Yinzhou City, and I will build Yinzhou City. It’s the same as Xiazhou, and how much time and horses will it take to pave the entire Yinzhou with two roads, one vertical and one horizontal.”

Sun Yue was amused when he heard the words, and stretched out five fingers with a smile.

"Fifty thousand? It's not expensive, but brother, brother, I don't have so many. Yinzhou is poor and not as rich as this Xiazhou. You can give me a discount. Can [-] be okay? To tell you the truth, it's [-] horses I also have to collect it bit by bit. It would be good if I can deliver it to you within a year. Now I can only get [-]. But brother, the quality of my horse is good, although it is not as good as Qinghai Cong. But the Qinghai Cong is only so much, it’s what the nobles ride to show off, it’s not practical, my Yinzhou horse is the best horse in the world besides the Qinghai Cong, I also know that I’m asking too much, but my brother and I I’m really anxious, I’ll exchange the parts that are not enough with animal skins and tendons, and I owe you another big favor, I swear in the name of Tuoba Sigong’s descendants, as long as my brothers need it in the future, I, Li Guangyan, will call for it Come by. How?"

Sun Yue was dumbfounded. You must know that he stretched out five fingers to say five thousand!
But obviously this didn't affect him pretending to be very embarrassed and said: "Brother... It's not that brothers don't help, it's really this cement... It's also a rare thing in our Song Dynasty. You only have [-] horses..."

"Brother, please, finish the construction one day earlier, so let's attack the Hexi Corridor one day earlier!"

"It doesn't matter, for the Hexi Corridor, I will suffer a little loss in the Song Dynasty. The cement of the entire party can be bought at this price, but I have to write a letter to ask the higher authorities for instructions. We have to agree That's right, if I give you such a big discount, your party has to promise me one condition."

"What conditions?"

"When the Song Dynasty launches its Northern Expedition to Yanyun in the future, your party will send troops to help."

"No problem, it should be, it should be, our Dingnan Army is the Jiedu army of Song Dynasty, what else do we need to say, it must be no problem. But brother, let me say something that shouldn't be said, Da Song is so helpful We are not afraid that if someday some troubles arise between the two families..."

In this regard, Sun Yue just smiled and said lightly: "The friendship between our Han nationality and Dangxiang has been going on for hundreds of years, even if it has been more than 100 years since Tuoba Sigong, we believe that the friendship between the Han nationality and Dangxiang must be It will last forever, and Party members will always be the most trustworthy friends and partners of our Song people."

I don't know whether Li Guangyan really believed it or not, anyway, he kept nodding his head, almost pointing out the cervical spondylosis.

Of course, Sun Yue himself would not believe this nonsense even if he had a punctuation mark.

Da Song built a city for the party, are you afraid that they will rebel one day?Of course not, what Da Song was afraid of was that they would ride horses and play hide-and-seek with him in the desert, attacking and defending cities?The Song Dynasty is their ancestor!If it doesn't work, then why don't we still have gunpowder? Although explosives have not been developed yet, I heard that more than 100 people were killed in Langzhou, but gunpowder is also very powerful in siege.

Besides, the real strength of the Han people has never been in force, but in culture, and the speed of assimilating foreigners is simply not too fast. When the party members and the Han people live together in a comfortable city, they don’t have to worry about food, food, etc. When it comes to basic survival needs such as clothing, when the entire Dingnan five states are covered by roads, and you no longer have to worry about finding people, the common people are crazy to drill the desert with you nobles.

The so-called Hu captivity has no national destiny for a hundred years, that is what it is saying. Maybe the Han nation cannot guarantee that it will be strong forever on the battlefield, but when everyone puts down their swords and fights together, the Han people are really your ancestors. Tuo, where are you now?
Once this deal is concluded, waiting for the fate of the party, in fact, all that is left is to obediently serve as a watchdog for Da Song on the edge of the Hexi Corridor. Even within a hundred years, there may be no party in this world. .
