Chapter 210: Back to Shuozhou

After reading the contents of the love newspaper, Sun Xiangfu thought for a long time, when a major encounter turned into an ambush war, he actually had nothing to worry about, there were always more ways than difficulties.

"Zhang Ke, you send two people to General Li Jing's military camp, send him a pair of binoculars, and remind him that on the way to the march, be careful all the way, there may be a situation." After some thought, Sun Xiangfu took the lead in saying to Zhang Ke.

Li Jing is a smart person, he just needs to give him a wake-up call, as for how to formulate strategies and tactics against Tuli, he will naturally have considerations, and what Sun Xiangfu, a battlefield idiot, can do is to try to follow his arrangement.

Then, Sun Xiangfu wrote hard for a while, and then got up and walked towards the treasury of Happy Village, Sun Dali knew what he meant, and even took out a key from his arms and gave it to him.

"Everyone in the escort team has it, load the equipment in the warehouse, go out of the waters of Guanzhong, all the weapons are immediately assembled and erected on the ship, there is no rest along the coast, go straight to Lingnan, and let Zhao Long carry out my orders." After that, Sun Xiangfu handed over a letter to Zhao Qiang, meaning that he would still let him lead the fleet to Lingnan.

The workshop of Xingfu Village has been building weapons and armor as early as before Sun Xiangfu went to Shuozhou, more than half a year has passed, and the inventory has long been enough to equip thousands of people.

When the guards were carrying weapons and equipment, Sun Xiangfu went back and wrote a letter to Feng An, there are ten water ships equipped with long-range bed crossbows, eight hundred well-equipped water teams, he is no longer asking for defense, but to take the initiative to attack, and completely annihilate the enemy, but to achieve a total annihilation of the number of enemies at sea and his own, if the encirclement is not large enough, if the manpower is not enough, it will definitely not work, these actions require the cooperation of the Lingnan naval army, he knows that Feng Ang now has dozens of new galleons in his hands, and the number of naval troops is also thousands, Just borrow it.

However, these actions are preparations for the possibility of armed conflict, and the real problem is at the capital level.

Wang Lin unites dozens of families, large and small, and its capital power is too huge, how can he break the situation?

In fact, as long as the matter of transporting grain in Lingnan is solved, and the gap is solved a little, the food crisis in Guanzhong can be resolved, after all, Li Shimin has already moved 300,000 households out, and the consumption has been reduced a lot, and there are more than one million stone of locusts and the reserves of the major imperial villages, and those tenants who have more fields and noble families, in fact, they can guarantee it themselves.

If you want to remove that little gap, Huainan's soybeans are very critical, especially the soybeans in this season after the autumn harvest, so Sun Xiangfu wrote a letter to Feng An, and immediately wrote a letter to the eldest grandson Wuji and Wushi Tong in Yangzhou, no matter what method they use, first of all, they must ensure that the butts of the four major families in Yangzhou must sit upright, in addition, any taxes this year must be paid in the form of soybeans and crops, that is, they will be forcibly harvested in the field, and Huainan's soybeans will not be allowed to be taken away by the family.

In the case of the drought and locust disaster in the country's main grain producing areas, the national grain price rise is inevitable, which is something that the emperor can not stop, in this regard, Sun Xiangfu has nothing to do, he only hates God to grow those high-yield crops on the other side of the sea, so that the ability of this nation to resist disasters is greatly insufficient, and I hope that the people in those areas who have not been affected will not sell all their grain stocks because they see the price of grain rising in the market, resulting in their own food to eat in the end.

Therefore, public opinion propaganda must continue, and propaganda newspapers that let the people keep enough food for their own use will be distributed to those prefectures and counties that have not been affected by the disaster, so as not to have too much financial resources and create a national monopoly.

In the end, Sun Xiangfu wrote a very long piece of music to Li Shimin, in addition to saying what he knew, he only gave him a few suggestions, in order to kill the chaos and deter those troublemakers It is necessary, in addition, in the cowpox vaccination, you must be ruthless, scrape the oil in their stomachs, and get some money for the court in hand.

This is the same decision made by Sun Xiangfu when he was in Luoyang before, don't fight with them in areas that they are not good at, the local government is controlled by them, control it! You are arrogant by force, so why bother with them in the power struggle!

Swing the knife directly, kill it, solve the problem, let's take it slowly, you even did the thing of killing your brother and usurping the throne, are you still afraid of being scolded by others, besides, isn't history written by the victors, it's not simple to get through this hurdle and give them a crime?

As for what he said to compete with the people for profit, who is this people? Those who have surplus profits will be fought for by you, and those who have no money, you will not be able to fight for their interests, and often, these people who have no profits for you to fight for are the real people who occupy the majority of the population.

Of course, these Sun Xiangfu can only think about it in his heart, and after reading his own suggestions, how to implement them in the end depends on what kind of degree Li Shimin thinks is appropriate.

When these things are arranged, Sun Xiangfu must also set off, he doesn't know how much energy Wang Lin has in the Wang family, in case Wang Xu capsizes in the gutter, he will be unlucky.

After leaving a group of intelligence team personnel to continue to monitor Wang Lin in Chang'an, Sun Xiangfu sent Zhao Qiang and others away on the dock, and then took Zhang Ke and a hundred guards to beat horses and went straight to Shuozhou, still equipped with one person and three horses, so that it is not difficult to travel three or four hundred miles a day, but it is a few points faster than Li Jing's marching team.

"Childe, then Sun Zhengming led people to Shuozhou."

Wang Lin was in a house in Chang'an, and a subordinate reported to him.

"Well, if he doesn't go back, how can I kill him! This time, my father and several heads of the family came forward to operate, even the third child was only kept in the dark, if he could ······ in one fell swoop."

Wang Lin smiled proudly, didn't continue, and looked at the soldier again, "Can the manpower trained by the Japanese people be used now?" ”

"In terms of singing and dancing performances, it is no longer lost to Qinglou artists, but the technique is not very good, and it will take time."

"Let them hold on tightly, these people, I will use them by the end of this year at the latest."

No one knows what Wang Lin is doing to train a group of beautiful assassins, after all, Sun Xiangfu does not have this hobby, of course, the person he is targeting may be internal, his second brother Wang Hao, but he lives in a brothel like Baihua Pavilion all the year round.

Li Shimin in the palace was not idle, and he conducted a relatively in-depth study with several ministers on the issue of treasury bonds proposed by Sun Xiangfu, and finally came to the conclusion that the ministers unanimously agreed that it was feasible, and that only by letting the people in Guanzhong have something to do and earn food would the people's sentiment in Guanzhong be stabilized.

However, whether anyone is willing to buy this treasury bond is not in everyone's hearts, after all, no one has done this thing before, and in the end, after several ministers agreed, it was decided not to issue too large an amount, to get 200,000 yuan, to ensure the early operation, and to set the annual interest rate at 10%. That is to say, if the people buy a treasury bond certificate of 100 wen, they can exchange it for 110 wen at this time in the second year.

In this era, the interest rate is not high, but it is not low, the general market is about 20%, the high 3 or 40%, and there are doubles, but it is a small-scale private loan, and there is no guarantee for the court to borrow money from the people on a large scale.

However, to their surprise, the issue of treasury bonds was only a little bit of a wind to the outside, and before the official printing of bills was listed, some people went to the yamen to subscribe for them, and these people were none other than some Hu businessmen in the Western Regions in Chang'an.

Because last year Li Shimin guaranteed in the name of the imperial court, so that they borrowed a lot of goods in the Tang Dynasty, now, they are very assured of the credibility of the imperial court, a year, is exactly the time for them to go back and forth, the surplus of the sale of goods to buy the treasury bonds of the Tang Dynasty, not only to avoid the loss of transportation and storage, but also to get a profit, why not do they?

After Xiao Yu learned of this situation, he immediately suggested that Li Shimin increase the number of treasury bonds to one million, and then the imperial court entered the busy printing and distribution of bills.

Once the national credit is established, it is a sharp weapon to deal with capital chaos, Li Shimin has not realized this yet, Sun Xiangfu also inadvertently made a push, one million yuan, in the case of self-production of raw materials, it is enough to ensure that the road construction of the Guanzhong Plain is launched, as for food reserves, after receiving the data reported by Sun Erli, Li Shimin's heart also has a little spectrum.

Because the royal farm has enabled a large number of people in charge of Sun Xingfu Village, there are people like Sun Erli as the chief official to grasp production, so, although there is a small drought in Guanzhong last spring, but the winter has increased a season of vegetable planting, the Chinese cabbage and pickles in the reserves of each village, there are a lot, due to the excessive amount of crops such as drought-tolerant purslane, the feed reserves of fish farms, chicken farms and pig farms are sufficient, and there is no problem to eat until next year's autumn harvest, and poultry and livestock can also produce a lot of meat.

Therefore, on the side of the royal farm, not only has the holes owed before, but also has a lot of surplus for the emperor to dispatch, plus the reserve of millions of stone locust powder in Xingfu Village, as long as the grain from Lingnan and the soybeans from Huainan continue to be transported to Guanzhong, as Sun Xiangfu expected, the food of the people in Guanzhong basically does not need support from other places.

This will directly lead to the failure of Wang Lin's monopoly plan, once Guanzhong does not purchase grain from the surrounding areas at all, then they will buy grain on a large scale, raise prices, and the final result may be a large amount of grain smashed in their own hands.

Moreover, after Li Shimin saw the words 'stop the chaos with killing' on Sun Xiangfu's recital, he was also moved, after he became the emperor, his temper was much more restrained, but after all, he was the emperor immediately, and the people who had killed him with his own hands did not know how many, how could he resist killing? Especially those who kill the country and the people, because since those family members are not honest, it is not impossible to kill chickens and monkeys.

With Li Shimin having an overview of the overall situation in Chang'an, and even brainstorming to break the plan of the family, Sun Xiangfu is still more at ease with Guanzhong.

On the contrary, what can't reassure him is that Shuozhou is here, when the horse team enters the Shuozhou Plain, he does not see the people in the wild, you know, Shuozhou due to the imperial court's relocation policy, the current residential density is no less than Guanzhong, that is to say, Tuli has been close to Shuozhou, and it has entered a state of war.

Seeing that the crops in the rice fields were quite neat, Sun Xiangfu roughly guessed that Tuli's men and horses had not yet broken through to the city of Mayi, after all, Shanyang New City was in front, dozens of villages and fortresses were fetters, and there were only 20,000 horses and horses.

After entering the city, Sun Xiangfu did not rush back to the house, and arrived at the official office as soon as possible, and it was Tang Fengyi who was in charge now, but Sun Xiangfu unexpectedly saw Wang Xu.

"Your business hasn't been done well, so, here's the trouble." Wang Xu looked at Sun Xiangfu with a look of reproach.

"I don't want to, I knocked your eldest brother unconscious and sank him in a burlap bag and into the canal, I can't imagine that he can still live, it's really heaven that he won't die."

Sun Xiangfu deliberately said, 'Heaven will not die him', and sure enough, Wang Xu's face changed slightly, at this time, Sun Xiangfu had already looked at Tang Fengyi, who was sitting in the yatang, this guy was originally a lackey of the family, it seems that he gets along well with Wang Xu!

"Old Tang, what's the situation now?"

"Wang Lin should have given Xue Yantuo and Hui Hui a lot of benefits, let them sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, Tuli's side marched quickly, the men and horses were less than a hundred miles away from Wang Xugongzi's spice field, and Captain Guo transferred a battalion of infantry to Shanyang to strengthen the defense, isn't the old man preparing to gather the people and strengthen the garrison of Mayi."

Hearing that Tuli's people and horses were still outside the Shanyang Realm, Sun Xiangfu's heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and he asked again, "What about Xi Jun?" ”

"Well, after he received the news of Tuli's attack, he went out with the third battalion of cavalry, otherwise Captain Guo would not have divided his troops to Shanyang, thinking that he should have dealt with Tuli."

Well, Sun Xiangfu is not in Shuozhou, the management here is really a mess, the main general has no binding force on the deputy general, and the person who entrusts the government seems to be sitting on someone else's side, which is not a good situation.

"You guessed the military situation? Who, Zhang Ke, take someone to copy the old Tang's house first, don't leave him a copper, in addition, find the gentleman in charge of the accounts in the house, and take a plate of the accounts of the two Yuezhou Ya, if there are mistakes or omissions, just try him, he is not afraid of pain, just beat. ”

"The old man is now your staff, do you want to do this!" When Tang Fengyi heard this, he jumped up from the stool and pointed at Sun Xiangfu. At this moment, he no longer looked like the old god was there just now, because he knew that when Sun Xiangfu said to fight, his guards would really go down.

"Corrupt officials like you, want, want."
