"Naturally, I will fully support Li Chongjin to devote himself to the construction of Greater Shanghai, but, Wei Banban, you have to take care of my internal money, and every money has to be spent reasonably."

"The servants obey the order, Your Majesty, the officials of the household department are afraid that they will not be able to effectively manage their money, how can this Li Chongjin let go of this opportunity to enrich the public and private pockets."

"These things, I can't stop them, and I can't stop them, compared with the construction of Shanghai, these are all small things, let the people of Jinyiwei keep an eye on them, the evidence that should be collected has been stored for me, and there is a time when I settle accounts with him."

"Your Majesty."

"Let Dugusheng tell Li Chongjin that the manpower and material resources needed for the construction of Greater Shanghai will come from Huainan and Jiangnan, and the silver required will be paid by me, but my internal funds are not inexhaustible, so Li Chongjin must be careful and not in a hurry."

"Your Majesty Shengming, now you can firmly tie Li Chongjin to Shanghai, I'm afraid that it may not be able to be completed in ten or twenty years."

"Wei Companion accompanies you to make less sycophants, the money I allocated to Li Chongjin is all a trickle, if Li Chongjin is in a hurry, I will definitely not mind if he pays in advance out of his own pocket."

"Your Majesty, allow the slave to pat your ass again, Your Majesty Shengming."

"It seems that I haven't kicked you as a slave for a long time, I'm getting bolder and bolder, and I dare to openly resist the order, forget it, I don't bother to bother with you, remember, be sure to tell Li Chongjin that the people of Jiangbei can't be used in Jiangnan, and vice versa, and the people in Jiangnan can't be used in Jiangbei, and if you want to recruit people from Jiangnan, let him go to Yang Ye."

"The minions obey."

In a few short sentences, Wei Zhongxian once again admired Guo Zongxun, Li Chongjin deserved to be pitted by His Majesty, and he was not wronged at all.

Li Chongjin wants to build a big Shanghai on both sides of the Yangtze River estuary, the land of Jiangbei, he can requisition the people of Huainan, and the land of Jiangnan, he can only go to Yang Ye, in short, he will definitely not let him really have the final say.

Guo Zongxun is not afraid that Li Chongjin will build the city of Jiangbei first, but he is afraid that Li Chongjin himself will not build Jiangbei first, and the land of Jiangbei has Yangzhou guarded by him, and he is not in a hurry to have another big city.

It was still the land south of the Yangtze River that Li Chongjin wanted to control the most, but he was constrained by Yang Ye......

Just say, how is Guo Zongxun's trick?

Wei Zhongxian took control of the Jinyi Guard for less than a year, and the Jinyi Guard has now grown to about 2,000 people, all of whom are veterans of a hundred battles who have retired from the Guards Division, and their families have been properly placed by the Great Zhou Emperor.

Therefore, the loyalty of these people is not to worry about at all.

There is no need to worry about the ability of these people.

Qin Hui, the instructor of the Jinyi Wei Martial Arts Spy Division, is constantly cultivating excellent armed spy guards for Guo Zongxun, and when these veterans of a hundred battles are handed over to Qin Hui, they are already semi-finished products with excellent qualifications.

In Qin Hui's words, with a little thought, these people are all human spirits, and they can definitely be a hundred.

The main reason why Guo Zongxun never urged Zhao Kuangyin to march south was that he also needed time to lay out in advance in Jiangnan and even further south.

Jinling made Zhao Kuangyin suffer a loss, and Guo Zongxun naturally knew that Zhao Kuangyin was by no means a fool, and he would never suffer a loss twice in the same matter.

Then I will change your tricks to make you suffer losses, eat a trench and grow a wisdom, and when you learn to be far-sighted, take one step and see ten steps......

By that time......

How will I allow you to live until then?

With the continuous expansion of the territory of the Great Zhou, the sphere of influence of Jinyiwei is constantly expanding, and at the same time, the sphere of influence of the Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles is also expanding.

In the Great Zhou Army, the soldiers were selected into the Guards Division of Kaifeng, and the quota limit was abolished, and as long as the accumulated military merits reached the standard, they could enter the Guards Division.

The strength of the Guards Division has always been maintained at about 100,000, and the extra ones will be retired by the veterans and replenished to the Jinyi Guard and the Hall of Heroes of the Hundred Battles.

Young and strong people of appropriate age were recruited from all over the country to supplement the Great Zhou Forbidden Army and the Hanzi Army.

This has created a virtuous circle.

As for those who are corrupt and deductible, it is not nothing, once it is found out, the three tribes of Yi, who have not found out, can quickly stop it, count him lucky, and continue to be lucky and greedy, sooner or later he will not be able to escape the harsh punishment of the law of the Great Zhou.

The salt and iron business of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Guo Zongxun ordered, all handed over to the Hundred Battles Heroes Hall.

The method adopted is the same as that of managing the Daomen, those who print books privately, without the need for the imperial court, the Daomen will clean them up.

Those who dare to traffick in illicit salt and iron, that is, to grab jobs with the Hundred Battles Heroes Hall, these veterans of the Hundred Battles are even more ruthless than those Taoist priests, if you dare to rob me of my job, I will dare to kill your whole family.

Among them, the only one who dared to sell illicit salt and iron was the first royal merchant envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhu Jinliang.

To say that Zhu Jinliang, as a merchant envoy personally appointed by the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, why did he traffic in salt and iron?

That's because the salt and iron trafficked by Zhu Jinliang were sold to the Khitan, which was strictly forbidden by the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, Guo Zongxun also said that I don't want the Khitans to figure out how to make salt and iron by themselves, and instead of blockading and suppressing them, I should secretly fund them.

"Let Zhu Jinliang bear this black cauldron of betrayal of the enemy for me, haha."

Historically, all the imperial courts in the Central Plains maintained strict embargo laws on the surrounding Siyi in terms of salt and iron, but ......

Anyone who is afraid of this, however, the huge profits of salt and iron make many businessmen dare to take risks, smuggling is rampant, enriching the family, and selling the country.

In the end, the fall of the Central Plains Dynasty was certainly a problem with these dynasties themselves, but the role played by these merchants in it was also a stain that these merchants could not erase.

When I came to Guo Zongxun, I didn't need your sneaky smuggling, I came to do this, and if I wanted to earn the money of the Khitans, I would have to earn it.

In fact, this is also a strategy that is better than blocking.

Merchants smuggle, the scale is not large, and they also have to bribe the border guards with heavy money, and it is not only the army of the Great Zhou that is being eaten away step by step.

Now, Zhu Jinliang, as the imperial merchant envoy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, can lead the caravan in a grand manner, and under the protection of the Great Zhou army, smoothly enter the Khitan through the border passes, send the salt and agricultural tools they need for their life to the Khitan people, and send the weapons they need to the Khitan army.

These weapons...... Do you think Guo Zongxun will ask Zhu Jinliang to send the best and latest to the Khitans?

Song Yingxing blew up a coal mine in Huaizhou, and the speed of coal mining was more than 100 times faster than before.

The work of developing blast furnace steelmaking by the Great Zhou Department is also in full swing.

"Song Aiqing, the craftsman castle in Kaifeng City is under construction, but all the research work must be carried out as soon as possible, during this time, I will order the guard department to strengthen the guarding and monitoring of the surrounding area of the craftsman castle, I hope you don't feel wronged."

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others are well aware of the confidentiality and heavy responsibility, and they will definitely fully cooperate with the inspection, but the two people, Lao Xian Weng and Chief Liu, are a little difficult to handle."

Huashan old immortal Weng Chai Shouli and Wushuangmen chief designer Liu Liancheng, these two are special cases.
