The matter of treating the captives well, Ting Fang and Xu Jingchang had already discussed. It's just that the last time Jiang He's people were trampled in chaos, the lightly injured and uninjured ran away early, and the rest were basically seriously injured, and the existing medical conditions could not be saved, so there was no such trouble. This time, Han Guangxing's dispatching ability was still good, so that there was still a lot of life left on the battlefield, so there was a contradiction in treating the prisoners.

Ren Shaoying reported Zhou Yi's doubts to Tingfang, and the statement was naturally polished, much more tactful than Zhou Yi's. Ting Fang knew that most people were emotional, and the day before they killed the red-eyed enemy, they had to be friends when they turned their faces, and this kind of cheeky and black-hearted skill was only available to bureaucrats like them, not upright soldiers. Summoned Zhou Yi to him with a smile, and explained in detail on the basis of Ren Shao Ying last night: "The prisoner of war has returned to Han Guangxing, and he is more or less worried about our good, and he will be soft next time he fights." The people who have captured us and secretly take care of one or two, how much less sin do our people have to suffer? It's still worth it. ”

Zhou Yi didn't expect to have this concern, and frowned: "The county lord thinks too well of the people in the world, and there are many wolf hearts." ”

Ting Fang smiled: "What if half of them are not wolf-hearted? ”

Zhou Yi still refused to accept this reason.

Ting Fang shook his head and said, "Alas, I really want to pretend to be a good person, so you won't give me a chance." ”

Zhou Yi didn't know why, his back was cold.

Ting Fang said: "The captives have minor injuries, let's treat them, right?" is already short of medical treatment, and he still has a share with them, he is simply a saint! ”

Zhou Yi said: "I'm worried about this, and I don't know how to explain it to my brothers." ”

Ting Fang said: "If you are Han Guangxing, what is your mood in front of a group of captives who were awakened and took care of and maybe gained two pounds and came back?" ”

Zhou Yi suddenly brightened up and gasped! Ting Fang, this is borrowing a knife to kill people!

Ting Fang said helplessly: "Han Guangxing killed? Or not kill? ”

Zhou Yi replaced Han Guangxing and suddenly fell into a dilemma. It's a pity to kill, veterans who have passed through the battlefield are much more precious than new soldiers; If you don't kill a captive who is unstable and is treated well, you are not a spy and are grateful to the enemy, which greatly affects morale.

Ting Fang said again: "Most of them still have to be killed, or put into a death squad or something, and ask them to be sent to death." "How difficult is it for the two armies to prove their innocence? The temporary compromise made by General Zhang Zizhong of the Republic of China for the sake of the country was scolded as a traitor, and in the end, he finally made his will clear. The top general who died in the Allies chose to keep his innocence in the world, and his wife committed suicide on hunger strike and went with him. No matter how embarrassed future generations are, they can't make up for the grievances he has endured. The embarrassment of the captives was even worse. Especially in China, the tradition of captives is extremely bad. One thing to say, although China is brilliant, there are some things that should indeed be considered, reflected, and changed.

Zhou Yi was a little stunned: "It turns out that the county lord wants people to know that he was captured, so he followed us with all his heart." This is the only place in the world that can endure the three family slaves. ”

Ting Fang said: "Why do you say it so ugly? Loyalty is good, but since you can't punish the doctor, you naturally can't be courteous. What did we give them when we asked them for courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith? Is there a rich life? Or is there a bright school? One more thing, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, how can the hearts of the people win? Isn't that what it is? ”

Zhou Yi completely understood the unfinished meaning of Ting Fang's words, the world is in chaos, and some news can spread quickly, because people are no longer tied to the land as in the past, but the world is full of chaos. It is a tradition to be put back and have your own master cut it down. There is a dead end over there, and this side is treated kindly, that is, it is inevitable to be excluded, and those who have brains also know which one to choose. When the time comes, the morale of the enemy will be very exciting! If you fight hard, you will die, it is better to pretend to be dead and be a prisoner, and it is really a plan to go to the army! After figuring it out, his face was a little stiff, and he said embarrassedly: "The county lord ......"

"Huh?"

"I want to fork the road, it's mine, it's not mine."

Ting Fang said: "You don't have to think about things with so many twists and turns, racking your brains, it's something that people like us who are greedy for life and afraid of death do." A soldier should be brave, but the rectum is cute. You don't have to. ”

Zhou Yi said: "The county lord is brave and strategic, which is beyond my reach. ”

Ting Fang smiled: "Let's not praise each other, everything is difficult at the beginning, and the generals who died are only afraid of resentment against the captives." You talked to the king and the generals, and then reasoned layer by layer. If it doesn't make sense once, say it twice, and if it doesn't make sense twice, say it three times. There is a difference between the wise and the foolish, and do not be simple and rude. The emphasis is on the fear that they will fall into the hands of the enemy and be mistreated, which they are more likely to accept. But you can't just emphasize such selfish and small, you have to tell them that we are running for peace in the world. The indiscriminate killing is done by a tyrant, and they are all the people of His Royal Highness, but they are confused for a while, where is the king willing to give up? For example, if your son has done something wrong, you will shout and kill with hatred, but it is not the truth, and all you want is for him to change his ways. Comparing hearts to hearts, His Highness also feels the same way towards his subjects. ”

Zhou Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, county lord, you have started fooling people again!

Ting Fang looked at Zhou Yi and smiled, no longer talking nonsense. There are all the big truths in the book, and you can say a bunch of them by just taking out a reader. Accompanied by a short commentary on common sense, the soldiers' minds will gradually change. Fighting for selfishness is brave, but it is far less tenacious than fighting for the common people in the world. The reason why such a highly intelligent animal as human beings can continue to this day is because in every era and every race, there will be so many heroes who are willing to sacrifice themselves for others, and the guardians of mediocre mortals.

Zhou Yi sighed secretly, playing cards so unreasonably, there is no governor, these rough people really talk about the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse. I can't help but admire Tingfang's ability to take one step and see three steps. At the end, I couldn't help but ask: "Does Yibin think the same way?" ”

Ting Fang said: "He may not be unexpected, but he is kinder than me, and he thinks more about benevolence and righteousness, and I am calculating." "The preciousness of Xu Jingchang lies in the fact that he can see through the dirt and still want to maintain that fragile light.

Zhou Yi smiled: "Different paths are the same." ”

Ting Fang stopped the topic and talked about another matter: "I have already prepared Cuirong's dowry, you can choose a favorite day and do it." ”

Zhou Yi's face turned slightly red: "Cui Rong said that he was not in a hurry. ”

Ting Fang said: "She is a girl's family, where is she willing to show her impatience? The deed I have gone, her parents are also domestic slaves, and when His Royal Highness divided the house, there were not enough people, and the family bought it. His parents are still in His Highness's house, and in the future, you will remember to ask for a prayer and redeem it for a place to live in peace. "The parents-in-law are in slavery, and it is not good to say. In the future, you have to settle down and make a living. She doesn't worry about such trivial things, Cuirong is not a child, she knows it in her heart.

Zhou Yi said: "Thank you Lord County." ”

Ting Fang said: "I won't say much on the side, treat her well." There are also people who can't get by, and I will know when the time comes. Ugly words are ahead, you guys are good to gather and disperse, I don't care, the people who bullied me, don't blame me for not being merciful. ”

Zhou Yi nodded in response, he would not want Cuirong to be wronged, he had to climb up through nepotism, and some things had to be abandoned. Many men feel that it is unbearable to be unable to shake up their husbands, but in fact, they are in the world, and they are not as happy as they should be. What about the revitalization of the husband? Less than the Ninety-Five Supreme, where will you not be wronged. He still has ambitions in life, how can he bother to care about the trivial matters in the house! Knowing Tingfang's shrewdness, he didn't make that beautiful promise, bowed his head and saluted Tingfang and retired.

The situation in Beijing has also stabilized. Fortunately, in the 54th year of Tianyou, Mongolia went south, and after being beaten back to his hometown by General Zhao's soldiers, he fell into a tribal melee. Mr. Zhao secretly poked and poked one by one, and by the way, he took advantage of the good year to open the border trade to get some silver, and almost didn't become a brother with Mongolia. Therefore, Mongolia has not been able to make any big waves over the years, and the pressure on the nine sides has decreased sharply. It is impossible to abolish the nine sides, and some tribes want to fight the grass valley, but it is redundant to have a million soldiers like in the past. It happened that the capital was beaten in disarray, and the saint simply withdrew the command division of the soldiers and horses of the five cities into the inner city to maintain law and order, and handed over the city defense of the capital to the elite of Yongguo Gong and his subordinates.

The nine-sided garrison is the elite of the Yan Dynasty, and Jizhen is slightly inferior to Datong, but looking at the world, there is not a single slap that can be confronted. Now if Xu Jingchang faces the Duke of Yongguo, he will only be cut by him. Those who are brave and loyal to the king are even more insufficient. The capital gradually returned to tranquility, but the price of goods could not go down.

King Fu and Yongguo Gonglang are in love with each other, and they have a very close relationship. On the grounds of the prince's safety, the Duke of Yongguo protected several palaces. King Fu knew that it was just an excuse, and it was he who really protected him. Yong Guogong's choice was so clear, and the rest of the generals on the nine sides also began to lean towards King Fu. There are a total of nine general soldiers, and General Zhao does not need to say that it is his uncle; Taiyuan He Zongbing has always worn a pair of pants with Zhao Zongbing; Coupled with the Yongguo Gong who showed the carriage and horses, King Fu has accounted for three. Among the remaining six, there are those who want to be pure ministers, those who want to wait and see, and those who have already moved their hearts to King Fu, and so on, but their common choice is to gradually alienate the prince.

used to be friendly with the crown prince, but compared to other princes, their relationship with the former prince was not bad. King Fu was too young for anyone to notice him. Now that he has grown up, if you look closely, you don't think it's bad. No matter how good the prince is with them, the people around him are the ones he trusts the most, and he has a delicate relationship with Jiubian. King Fu is different, his uncle is the general soldier of Datong, and his henchman is a disciple of the general soldier of Datong. The nine sides are connected with the same qi, and it is naturally more pleasing to the eye to see the Fu King. On the contrary, the composition of the guards in Beijing is complex, and the first rat is at both ends.

King Fu had already seen that he didn't want the embroidered pillow in the capital, and it was the right way to win over the Duke of Yongguo. With the military generals holding each other, I feel that Zhao Guifei is really loved by God. She is so naïve, she is a dead word in anyone's house, but she entered the palace, and she fell into the eyes of the queen instead of the emperor. The saint didn't like her like that, so he casually went twice and gave birth to a son, and he was still the eldest child, and he was very favored. When he was older and picked his daughter-in-law, he didn't have any vision, so he chose Yan Chunwen by mistake. Yan Chunwen is really worthless, but Yan Wenchun's father is too ruthless! The head of the Hanlin Academy, if you talk about the status of the rivers and lakes, is stronger than the first assistant Yuan Ge Laodu.

At this time, King Fu has finally fledged. He looked up at the south, Xu Jingchang, I'm ready, what about you?

It's the annual autumn harvest again, but it's much more difficult than last year. Among the middle provinces, only Jiangxi poked Xu Jingchang, who not only beat the local tyrants, but also restrained the county commanders who broke their families. Therefore, people with red eyes abound, not only Jiang He and Han Guangxing, but also bandits of all sizes are staring at fat. The peasants under exploitation really don't know how to survive. Honest farming is just being used as a granary. Many people do not want to do evil, and they are coerced by the situation to kill people and sell more goods. In contrast, how can Jiangxi stand out from the crowd and produce it steadily, how can it not attract people's eyes?

Fortunately, this year was turbulent, and the people who rented the fields inevitably missed the farming time, and the things they planted were messy, some of which had already been harvested, and some of which were green seedlings. The growing period of miscellaneous grains is shorter than that of rice, and most of them have already been put into storage, and the bandits who want to get something for nothing have not stepped on the right point, and it is already past the farm time to rush over, and the peasants have time to fight back with manpower. However, after all, it is not conducive to the replanting of vegetables in autumn and winter, and the people left behind in various places have written to Nanchang to ask Xu Jingchang to take charge.

Nanchang's soldiers and horses could not be mobilized, and Wang Hu wanted to send the newly collected 3,000 captives out to fight the bandits, but Xu Jingchang decisively refused. 10,000 soldiers and horses into the capital is a pure joke, he walks on the front foot, and the emptiness of Nanchang on the back foot has to be taken to the nest. Therefore, there were no 40,000 or 50,000 people, and the Northern Expedition was really a dream. Forty or fifty thousand people, and they must still have combat effectiveness. No one knows what the capital looks like, in case King Fu has three longs and two shorts, what he will face will not be the useless things of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Command Division, but the general soldiers who have moved their minds on the nine sides. The Li family is here, and everyone is a loyal minister; The Li family is dead, what's the matter, you Xu Jingchang can be opposed, but others can't be opposed? It's all the same identity, and it's who fights for who is strong. There are several generations of accumulation on the nine sides, but he does not, if he underestimates the enemy, he will definitely die.

Xu Jingchang thought for a long time, and then remembered that there was still a large group of people who had eaten idle meals under the command of the envoys. These people were used as engineering envoys by Ting Fang before, and after repairing the water conservancy and the city wall, they became the city manager after repairing the city wall, and they complained for a long time. They were killed by Zhou Yi, and their combat effectiveness still couldn't bear to look at them directly, but their military discipline was more than a hundred times better. This kind of "engineer soldier" is not the same as the engineer soldier known to Ting Fang in later generations, and the skills they have mastered can be easily replaced. In the end, he is a soldier, and he has been used as a people's husband, which is a bit wasteful. It happened that they were scattered and sent to various places to rebuild the guards. He also selected a few capable people from Xu Jingchang's private soldiers to take the lead, and made sure that the entire territory of Jiangxi was generally stable.

The bandits who are frustrated are not to be feared, after all, after combing in Jiangxi, the people can at least eat enough, and there are not many who fall into the grass. It's just that more people are stationed at the junction of the two provinces, and fewer people are sent in the middle. The embarrassment is that Han Guangxing and Jiang He have never given up, and they are stupid to use the vertical and horizontal waterways. Stupid. Desire. Move. Xu Jingchang suffered two losses in a row, so he maintained close contact with Liang Guangqi in Anqing and several cities along the Yangtze River, communicating with each other, and was ready to defend the rebel army at any time.

Xu Jingchang rebuilt the guard station while training the navy. The three-year accumulation of East Lake does not look obvious, but it has actually laid a solid foundation. For example, the water army, although it takes a lot of effort to do it, but after all, you have a foundation, at least you know how to do it. Affair.

Tingfang is still developing the economy. There is no commercial tax in Nanchang, and there are exquisite coinage, the world is more chaotic than last year, and it is no longer safe for merchants to go anywhere, so they will not be deducted if they come to Nanchang. Merchants gathered more and more, bringing great prosperity. Real estate, mining, salt, tea, silk weaving and Jiangxi's specialty porcelain began to develop rapidly. Other provinces have not yet enjoyed such a large profit, and Nanchang is already more prosperous than before the flood.

However, it was not enough to be prosperous before the floods, the Yan Dynasty was a weak dynasty, and its commerce was even more miserable. From Tingfang's point of view, this scene is also a junction of urban and rural areas, without the bearing of a capital. However, if she wants Nanchang to go to the next level, it is not possible for her to govern Jiangxi well. Merchants are the cornerstone of the economy, although Nanchang has no taxes, but businessmen from other provinces come along the Yangtze River, everywhere checkpoints, layers of exploitation, the profits are meager, the ability to attract investment is extremely limited. Only those who can't get along on their own turf are willing to come to Nanchang Yibo. But since you can't get along on your own turf, it's because the capital is not strong enough.

Looking downstream from Jiangxi, it's not bad, it's not messy, at least it's not messy. But looking upstream, it's depressing. Han Guangxing lost two-thirds of his soldiers and horses last time, and if he wanted to make a comeback, he could only plunder more. Warlords who can't build can always do to feed the war with war. From time to time, I came to Jiangxi to fight back, from the whole province, the loss is still within the bearable range, but how can I swallow this breath? Moreover, such harassment is very detrimental to economic development. If there is time, the warlords who are so lacking in virtue will kill each other sooner or later, and Jiangxi will slowly become rich. However, what Ting Fang lacks is precisely time.

Jiangxi's development speed is considerable, even if it is left to future generations. Ke Tingfang was anxious when she thought of the Opium War. Holding scratch paper and calculating various economic models, it is only a calculus in the end. Sigh deeply, put down the pen, and ponder. What else can be done more quickly?

Qian Lianggong plunged into agronomy, and the town soaked in the fields during the day, and no one was seen; Yang Zhichu was determined to educate, but before he could achieve it, he hurriedly took over the governor's training and completely infiltrated the barracks; Mrs. Fang began to train Wen Po, and by the way, she brought the medical woman, together with Doctor Liu Pozi to formulate the tutorial, and she was also busy hitting the back of her head, and Ting Fang didn't see them for half a month. In the newly built office building, only Tingfang and Ren Shaoying are left in charge. Ren Shaoying said that he was in charge of breeding, but he suffered a military disaster this year. The five thousand geese could be slaughtered, but the idea was solved in two sentences, so the others were busy flying, and they were panicking.

Seeing that Tingfang's face was gloomy, he rubbed over and asked, "What bothers the county lord?" Why don't you talk about it? ”

Ting Fang saw Ren Shao Yingqi and said, "Isn't Mr. going to the barracks?" ”

Ren Shaoying said: "Lao Yang is giving a big class in the auditorium, I don't want to disturb, so I came back." "Yang Zhichu bites to death and indoctrination is his jurisdiction, and Ren Shaoying's helpers can, grab the land and dream! Ren Shaoying doesn't seem to have a foundation like him, and he can't rob it if he wants to, instead of working for nothing in the barracks, it is better to dangle in front of Ting Fang's eyes, maybe her old man will think of something, no one will send it to him.

Ren Shaoying is full of bitterness, he thinks he is talented, but he loses to favor. Xu Jingchang treated the three of them as normal, while Ting Fang divided the distance between relatives and relatives, and he could only be marginalized. He also understands Tingfang, how can he meet halfway compare to being with him since childhood? I had to work hard to create more opportunities.

Ting Fang thought about it for a while, and understood the fighting method between Ren Shaoying and Yang Zhichu. Qian Lianggong took the lead, and the remaining two must score two or three. In the end, Yang Zhichu is her descendant and takes advantage. But there are not too many good subordinates, when Ting Fang saw that he was busy hitting the back of his head, Ren Shaoying was actually idle! Tyrannical Creatures! It was immediately requisitioned. said what Fang Cai thought in his heart, and said: "I still want to open source, does Mr. have a clever plan?" ”

Ren Shaoying was suddenly dumbfounded, he was a staff member, what he was good at was interpersonal relations and political struggles, and the fantasy things of the economy, he knew more than ordinary people, otherwise East Lake would not have become a port. can bump into Tingfang's rebellious goods, he can really only follow behind, and he can't figure out the routine at all. Ren Shaoying is undoubtedly a smart person, but Yan Chao's economy has been dead for too long, and he has missed too many classes. was asked by Tingfang, and his mood became even worse. Since calling Nanchang, there is simply no one to go well!

Ting Fang spread out the map and pointed to the Yangtze River: "There are too many levels. ”

Ren Shaoying said: "Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and relying on the water to draft the water, the whip is beyond the reach of the whip, and we can't control it for the time being." It's not that you can't be strong, it's just that you have too many enemies. ”

Ting Fang said: "I'm not afraid of making enemies, but either I can subdue them or feed them, otherwise I will make a little stumbling on the river, we and the big merchants are not afraid, and the small traders will be unlucky." Of course, it is important to have a large scale, but without small traders, it is difficult to live an economy. ”

Ren Shaoying's heart moved: "The county lord wants to ......"

Ting Fang nodded and said, "I want to talk to the cities along the Anhui and Zhejiang routes." One city demarcates an area, and we will lead merchant ships to supply to the city to stimulate the economy of the city. Dacheng protects merchants and collects a fixed amount of tax, which can only be floated every two years. To tell the truth, businessmen are not afraid of spending money, they are afraid of spending bottomlessly. We can't let Anqing and other places not collect taxes, but we can think for the merchants. After all, Jiangxi is inland, with limited profits, and large merchants have many channels and are reluctant to come. But if we do a good job, it's the same if we attract small businessmen. There are more ants biting elephants, and when we become richer, big merchants will naturally gather. Now he is poor and white, and he has no confidence to speak. ”

Ren Shaoying: "......" is still called one poor and two white...... After gathering his thoughts, he hurriedly answered: "How do you want to talk?" There are some guilds for small merchants, and I can do that. But Anqing and other places, are they willing to listen to us? ”

Ting Fang said: "Let's talk about it first." After speaking, Ting Fang suddenly threw a thunder: "I want to go to Jiangsu!" ”

Ren Shaoying was taken aback: "Didn't you give up East Lake?" "Want to rebuild? Or do you want to get back to the sea? Ren Shaoying pondered for a moment and felt that there was a certain feasibility. It's a pity that East Lake is lost, although it is said that there are always those who give up all the way, but after four years of operation, they have regarded that place as their hometown. The place where you start is always different.

However, Tingfang shook his head: "It's not Donghu, it's Huaiyang." Ting Fang knows everyone's feelings for Donghu, but she will not look back, because in the future, the world will return to the heart, and Donghu will not be independent, so what do you want to do?

"Huh?"

Ting Fang smiled: "I want to meet Liu Yongnian!" ”

Ren Shaoying's face changed: "No!" Liu Yongnian is insidious and cunning, the gentleman does not set up a dangerous wall, and the county lord cannot risk his life! ”

From a selfish point of view, Ting Fang certainly did not want to go to the opponent's territory. But Jiangxi is an extremely embarrassing place. There is a figurative term called "passing city". It seems that there is a connection between east and west, north and south, but in fact, people are just passing by. Although there are waterways, they are far inferior to Wuhan on the Yangtze River; Although there is a land route, it is not as convenient as Zhejiang relying on the coast. Until later generations, the economy of this province had little presence. It's not poor, it's the middle, no matter how poor it is, it's limited, but it's something that people don't think about. Nanchang, the provincial capital, is not even as famous as Jiujiang, let alone Jingdezhen.

Such a realm is based on nothing more than a little more comfortable than elsewhere when the smoke is rising, and the ruler is better at economics. The capital became calm, and King Fu thought that the victory was half over, and Baba sent them an urgent message to tell them the good news. Ting Fang was embarrassed by King Fu's naivety and lost her temper. Gyeonggi Evil. The religion is raging, the rebels across the country are blooming, and a few catties of water in your meow's mind do you think that the nine-sided generals can take over the world if they stand in line? The nine-sided combat power is very strong, but can they leave? It's that you can divide half of it out and level the flies and dogs, do you have the money to fight? Military supplies are a bottomless pit, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, even if a person has half a catty of grain a day, the daily consumption is also in 100,000 units! Not to mention weapons and ammunition all year round, tens of thousands of people have to handle clothes, shoes and socks. The treasury can now starve to death of rats, Jiubian really can't count on the imperial court, it is basically self-sufficient, and Zhao Zongbing has gone to do trade. It looks very beautiful, but the most important thing in the Northern Song Dynasty to "release military power with a glass of wine" is not the good means of the Song □□ to play, but the fact that all the soldiers in the world are raised by the Song □□.

If the nine sides can support themselves, how much can they expect to be loyal? People can support themselves, the waist is straight, how old are you Fu Wang? Everything in the world, explained by economics, is 100 percent, 99 percent of which can be said to be reasonable. For example, if the husband is a wife, the premise is to marry a man and marry a man, dress and eat. You can't feed your daughter-in-law, so your husband has to chop it up and feed it to the dog. Does Zhou Yi have a husband? He dared to take a concubine, Cui Rong was annoyed and wanted a divorce, could he stop him? In ancient times, the monarch and the minister were often compared to husband and wife, and the reason for the reason was general, and if you want the courtiers to follow three and four virtues, it is a dream not to give benefits!

But is it okay to give benefits? It's still the beauty of thinking. A man can have three wives and four concubines, not because he can support his family and have fists. Ximenqing has always been gentle with women, but as long as his women try to challenge his authority, whether they are his wife or concubine, the means are endless. The most favored Li Bei'er, because she married Ximenqing's competitor first, was kneeling on the floor on the wedding night; Pan Jinlian didn't have a dowry, so she tried her best to marry him, he was gentle and gentle on weekdays, and she was angry. The pregnant Li Bei'er almost didn't call Ximen Qing to death. In the court, if you want to contain the generals, you have to let the courtiers form a balance. Who would dare to take the lead and kill the girl. In other words, it is called grace and power.

There are Zhao generals on the nine sides, but what about the rest? Xu Jingchang was not strong enough, and King Fu was dismantled and stewed sooner or later. Ting Fang rubbed his forehead and thought, this thing can fool the generals of the nine sides, and it has finally grown much better than before. I comforted myself, and I felt even more depressed, in the past, the three of them got together, and her political acumen was the strongest, but her strength was limited. Ting Yao is just a girl in the boudoir, to put it mildly, her younger siblings can't manage it well. So far, everyone is running forward, King Fu, you are the boss and you are still behind! Your sister! Fortunately, Ting Fang was full of private goods, and she didn't care if she met a stupid Bai Tian. She really wants to serve the public, and she will definitely make someone chop up the whole family surnamed Li in Beijing.

Ting Fang exhaled a breath of turbidity, came back to his senses from his contemplation, and said to Ren Shaoying, who was in a daze on the side: "We need money, a lot of money." ”

Ren Shaoying sighed, the prosperity of Nanchang was beyond his cognition, and he really didn't know where Ting Fang's goal was.

Ting Fang continued: "It's not just money, there are copper mines in Jiangxi, although there are not many, and the coinage has been dried up privately, so it's not necessarily true to say that there is no money." You can't eat money, you have to be willing to earn it. The cotton thread in the cotton yarn factory is produced quickly, and I have written to the second brother of Fang to ask me to get some more. Textiles have to rely on labor, Jiangxi is short of labor anywhere, and you have to buy it with Jiangnan. Liu Yongnian is ambitious, let's buy cotton cloth from his territory in large quantities, and we have to have the advantage of exchanging with him. Otherwise, he would only have a few moths, and the growing number of soldiers would not have no clothes to wear. As he spoke, he drew circles on the map with his fingers, "Although the soldiers of the guard station are not descendants, they have become their upper peaks, and they must be fed and clothed." Zero-zero total adds up, and there are also 10,000 people. That's the source of substitute soldiers for our descendants, and we have to rely on them to fight bandits. In the mercantile realm, there is no one who can be truly self-sufficient. Relying on oneself for everything, it is the same as the thinking of the imperial court. ”

Ren Shaoying heard these words and pondered carefully. When he was a member of the prince's staff, he didn't think there was anything wrong with heavy farming. The world is safe and secure, and there is no need for so many bureaucrats. There are fewer taxes and fewer expenses. The Song Dynasty was prosperous, and the problem of redundant officials and soldiers was not solved for four hundred years. When we watched Nanchang go from nothing to today's prosperity, we knew the horror of commerce. Last year, the mourning was all over the wilderness, and the golden autumn was already a prosperous scene. Unbeatable shock!

Ting Fang said helplessly: "Can Mr. Ren understand?" "People in the era of small-scale peasant economies were used to self-sufficiency, and it cost money to buy after all. In this mode, the handmade is extremely expensive, and it is much more expensive to buy than to make it yourself. When you can't form a closed loop, you're always uneasy. It's a vicious circle.

Ren Shaoying pondered for a moment and said, "Don't dare to deceive the county lord." Ever since the county hosted commerce, I had read through the materials of the mercantile era in history. Don't do anything.,Light said with the same person.,I'm afraid I can pretend to be an expert.。 What the lord of Gujun said, he understood and understood, but he didn't dare to make a decision. ”

"That's the kind of person who does practical things. Rhetoric is not very meaningful, and it must be implemented in reality after all. If you have any ideas, even if you say something wrong, it doesn't matter. There are times when I think wrong. Ting Fang smiled, "Isn't the matter of raising ducks changed to contracting in a hurry?" It's one thing to think wrong, and it's another thing to plan to not keep up with change. Without an infallible strategy, who doesn't make adjustments as they go? ”

Ren Shaoying said: "Then I'll say it directly." What does Liu Yongnian want most now? In my humble opinion, it will not be a struggle for domination. The people of the world look down on the merchants, not for anything else, they value profit over courtesy, and they look at the eyes of the rat. Therefore, Liu Yongnian has ambitions, but if it is profitable in front of him, his ambitions will be able to be put down. He said with a smile, "To make an inappropriate analogy, it's like a guest of honor, and it is okay to be an official, but if you tell him in the future that he will let the commander out and change it to a big workshop, he will be happy." ”

Ting Fang sneered: "The world is peaceful, I am also happy!" I don't have to spend money more than him, and I have to find His Highness. I was able to do research at no cost. I don't know how comfortable those days are now. ”

"The old people have their own aspirations." Ren Shaoying continued, "Fighting snakes and hitting seven inches, if you want Liu Yongnian not to be a moth, it will not be possible to talk about the future." What we want to do, take it and talk to him, can he think about it, why can you do it, but I can't do it? There are still practical benefits. Nowadays, the biggest profit of shipping is silk and porcelain. The Yuezhou porcelain in the south of the Yangtze River has long been in decline, and now the strongest is silk. Liu Yongnian also made silk. If we sign a contract with him, and all the silk produced in Jiangxi Province is sold to him, how about he exchange cotton cloth and cotton with us? ”

Ting Fang stroked his palms and praised: "Wonderful! ”

Ren Shaoying said with a smile: "Jiangxi's silk is not as good as Jiangnan, but it is cheaper." If the county lord runs the silk reeling factory well, it will not be uncommon to cooperate with him in a few years. There are more cotton growers in the world, and the Jiangxi waterway is located in the center, and people from all over the world are coming, but I am afraid that Liu Yongnian will have to take the initiative to find us. ”

"That's for later." Ting Fang said, "The single line is not stable, there are many lines, and it is dense into a network, so he can't get out." I want to do business with foreigners in the future, and it's a good idea to practice with Liu Yongnian. ”

Ren Shaoying hurriedly asked, "How does the county lord want to trade with foreigners?" ”

"Doing business pays attention to your comings and goings, and if we don't make them earn, they will attract covetousness. It's just that our country is strong, and if he dares to come, we will dare to fight, and his own mother doesn't know him; Ting Fang sighed, "Isn't this what you can't do!" I had to follow the rules. When we sell things out, we have to buy things to come in. That's where the gentleman's suggestion came in, I sold the silk and bought the cotton. In order to maintain the sales of cotton cloth, Liu Yongnian will have incense with us. When we are inextricably linked, he will advance and retreat with us. Let's make more money, don't worry, don't eat alone. Think about what else could buy him. ”

Ren Shaoying said: "Easy, food." ”

"Huh?"

Ren Shaoying said: "The county lord first played a good move, the king of the world, what he wants the people to plant, they have to plant something." We are poor, so we first mix with miscellaneous grains, and naturally there are few refined grains. But life is getting better, and everyone wants to eat. Refined grains. Where do the grains come from? If we don't plant it, we have to buy it. Growing mulberry and raising silkworms in Jiangnan does not produce much grain, but we don't have to worry about it, so we asked Liu Yongnian to buy it and let him make the difference, can he be happy? Only the refined grain comes in, but where does the coarse grain go? ”

Ting Fang was reminded by Ren Shaoying, and her thoughts were clear in an instant, and she said, "Feed the pigs." Plant miscellaneous grains and buy refined grains, and people eat them. The refined grain pigs eat miscellaneous grains, and we sell the pigs again, and they all live. ”

Ren Shaoying said: "Pork is expensive, are so many people willing to buy it?" ”

Ting Fang smiled: "Isn't this another way to talk to Liu Yongnian!" In the provinces of the left and near, I don't believe that they don't eat bacon either. Besides, our large-scale pig breeding is much cheaper than that raised by retail households. ”

Ren Shaoying said with a headache: "It's endless, how long do you want to talk to him?" ”

Ting Fang said with a smile: "Business is like this, everyone brainstormed in the evening to see which one else could be calculated." The more people we have a stake, the more people defend us. In the future, the world will sit smoothly. Nothing is more solid than profits, there are no fathers and sons in the casino, we do the opposite! ”

is so trivial, Liu Yongnian has to see it. But how do you keep yourself safe? Ting Fang fell into deep thought again. 166 Reading Network
