After Lu Dongzan's appetite was aroused, Wang Lin did not immediately explain his plan to him, but asked rhetorically, "Do the prime ministers think that such countries and tribes as Tuyuhun, Dangxiang, and even Qiuzi and Khotan should still exist?" ”

"This ······"

"You mean to say? Should we focus on these sites? ”

Lu Dongzan hesitated for a moment, the light in his eyes suddenly flashed, and he immediately understood some of Wang Lin's meaning.

"That's right, Li Tang is not a country of rapid death, we Tubo, and we don't have the strength to rule the Central Plains Dynasty, this time I went to Chang'an, mainly to rob their wealth, and before Li Shimin came back, let's just leave, even if he has great ability, it is impossible to come up to our plateau!"

"I can't."

At this point, Lu Dongzan is absolutely confident, Tubo, as long as there is no civil strife, is almost the country with the strongest geographical advantage in the world, and there will be no foreign enemies.

"Therefore, he can only seek revenge from the party departments and Tuyuhun, and at that time, we only need to be the yellow finch behind them, I believe that no matter who wins or loses in the end, they will not be able to compete with my 200,000 Tubo iron horsemen."

When Wang Lin said this, he didn't say any more, he believed in the wisdom of Yilu Dongzan, and he could already think of what to do next.

Indeed, at this moment, in Lu Dongzan's mind, all of them are pictures of taking the party and the land of Tuyuhun, capturing Yumen Pass, and sweeping all the small countries west of Yumen Pass, and even the thousands of miles of land occupied by the Tang Dynasty.

"Hahaha, wonderful, really wonderful, this is what you Han people call the ability to strategize! This plan is the best gift you give to the Tubo people at the succession ceremony of Zampu, and in the future, if anyone is disrespectful to you in Tubo, I Lu Dongzan will be the first to disagree······"

Lu Dongzan's laughter was blown away in the night sky by the cold wind, but he didn't know that these conversations had been recorded by Wang Zhi, who was waiting not far from them, and when they all fell asleep, there should be a carrier pigeon to carry the news to the Central Plains.

If a servant's wisdom reaches a very high level, he will not be unknown for more than ten years, Wang Lin does not understand this truth, or rather, he has not thought about this problem at all, who would have thought that there will be a person in this world who can be evil, at the age of eight or nine, he will have his own thoughts about this world!

Wang Hao is such a precocious demon-level figure, more than ten years ago, he installed an undercover agent next to his own brother and younger brother who would never suspect them, and after Wang Lin was ready to kill him, he felt the need to use such a secret son.

Therefore, Wang Lin can embark on the road of Tubo, it is all planned by Wang Hao, Wang Zhi suggested that Wang Lin stay in the Central Plains for contact, and now, all of them are Wang Hao's people, Wang Hao wants Wang Lin to know what news, Wang Lin will know, at the same time, Wang Lin has any new ideas, Wang Hao will know immediately.

And the reason why Wang Lin has so many thoughts at this moment is not that he wants to destroy the Huahua World in the Central Plains, but that he desperately wants to get a pleasure of revenge.

His abnormal abusive mentality, Wang Hao knew early on, and he could just take advantage of this to achieve his own goals.

All the plans that have been understood by others are not plots, this is the role of intelligence, but the information of Tubo will not reach Sun Xiangfu's hands.

In the morning, after Sun Xiangfu, who had a good night's sleep, got up, while eating breakfast, he looked through some of the information on the requisition of materials from the previous military departments, and the headache was that the records were all written in classical Chinese, and Sun Xiangfu was a little slow to understand, but he only needed to know a small amount of key information.

Grain, Sun Xiangfu plans to use money to buy in the market, the bean cake and bean material to feed the horses, Datang is not lacking, Sun Xiangfu only needs to send a letter to the warrior Tong in Yangzhou, he can help mobilize a lot, from Yangzhou directly to Laizhou by water, but it is more convenient, these are ultimately just a matter of money on paper.

In terms of salt, Sun Xiangfu wants to talk to Uncle Wei about it, if he can supply all the refined salt to the army, then whether it is the state of soldiers or cattle, horses and livestock, it will be much better, and the combat effectiveness of a large army is improved from many of these small links.

The most headache for Sun Xiangfu is the problem of ordnance and equipment, the materials for making chariots and arrows are not so easy to find, after finding out the place of production and the situation of production, Sun Xiangfu has to give an order to the local chief officer according to the actual situation.

As for pipe products such as beef tendon bowstrings, in addition to counting the warehouse reserves, we also have to try our best to collect and scrape everywhere, these things produce little, even if you have money, you may not be able to get them in large quantities, fortunately, the north is now under the control of Datang, and Shanyang has a lot of reserves in this regard.

After that, it is to coordinate the work of the professional ordnance manufacturing will be the supervisor, the master who will be the supervisor is now Yan Lide, he has about 3,000 skilled craftsmen under him, specializing in the ordnance manufacturing of the Tang Dynasty, but Sun Xiangfu wants to make the ordnance equipment this time, many of them are new, like chariots, and the workers who are the craftsmen are basically completely unfamiliar, and it is estimated that they can't be counted on.

After Sun Xiangfu summed it up, in addition to letting some craftsmen make traditional equipment such as eight-ox crossbows and longbows and feather arrows, the rest of the people were assigned to the forging workshop of the smelter to do the preliminary training of new craftsmen.

Once the smelting workshop begins to operate, then the manpower needed in the forging workshop will be very huge, only the production of all kinds of weapons and equipment, are on the assembly line, the output will be fast and more, sharpen the knife without mistake, cut wood, train more craftsmen to come out, is the kung fu of sharpening the knife.

Then, Sun Xiangfu also saw some mines that were producing minerals for the imperial court in the information, as well as private workshops that helped the imperial court smelt minerals in wartime, Sun Xiangfu waved his pen, they would soon be invited to the smelter in Weinan, and then, they might be absorbed by Ma Zhou to work in the smelter, no way, if you want to increase the production capacity, you must have more professional people to devote themselves to this industry.

The first link of ancient production is the problem of manpower, and Sun Xiangfu can only use various means to solve the problem of manpower in order to ensure the whole link in the future.

After reading the information for a day, Sun Xiangfu began to make an appointment for an interview, although Li Shimin let him be fully responsible for the requisition, but not let him go to all walks of life to rob, where money should be given, where money should be obtained, it must be coordinated with others.

The first person to meet was Uncle Wei, when this old guy came, he still brought the newspaper that Chang'an just issued today, and the content of it! Of course, Ma Zhou released it according to Sun Xiangfu's ideas.

"I knew early on that Zhengming was kind, and there was such a good thing, so I made an appointment with the old man as soon as possible, let's talk about it! How many mines can be sold to our Wei family, even if the price is high, my Wei family will sell the property, find a mortgage from the bank, and give you the cash. ”

"Wei Gong said with a smile, I invited you to come today, not to talk about the mine, sit down and have a cup of tea first, let's talk slowly." Sun Xiangfu looked smiling, and suddenly made Uncle Wei feel bad in his heart, it is estimated that after Sun Xiangfu has finished collecting the royal things, he will come to collect the things of the Wei family again.

"That, Zhengming, you know, our Wei family's investment in the big coal plant in Weinan this year is a huge expense, although there is some input in salt, but now, it is not rich!" After Wei Shuhu sat down on the chair under Sun Xiangfu, he said with some apprehension.

However, even if he turned the wind faster, it was too late, Sun Xiangfu smiled and said, "Today, Duke Wei came to talk about coal and salt, can your Wei's big coal plant produce coking coal this year?" ”

"The production is the production, the money is ······"

"Don't worry, although it is a requisition from the imperial court, it will not make the Wei family lose money, in terms of cost price, Wei Gong can get a profit, but the cost must be settled later, and the quantity requirements are relatively large."

With coking coal, the production capacity of the smelter can be completely activated, and in the case that there is not a million yuan in the imperial treasury, Sun Xiangfu can only try to borrow first, and it is really impossible to borrow from Qianzhuang.

When Uncle Wei heard that there was a profit, he immediately put his mind at ease, and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring look, "My Wei family is also a member of the Tang Dynasty, and the matter of contributing to the country is naturally not lagging behind, and it doesn't matter if the amount is larger, anyway, in the early stage, we just paid the wages of some workers in advance, but if a large number of shipments are shipped, it will have to be after the construction of the big coal plant." ”

"It doesn't matter, now you can let those small coal workshops in Weijiayuan make some of them, send them to the smelter to hoard them, and then mass produce them after the construction of the big coal plant is completed, and then count the number of deliveries."

"Okay, this mine ······"

"Can't Wei Gong see it? The matter of this mine, just like the fields in the north, is a relatively long-term and slow-profit investment, and the foundation of the Wei family is not as thick as the five surnames and seven families, so it is best to focus on making coal! ”

Hearing this, Uncle Wei nodded harmoniously, indicating that he understood, since the Wei family was not involved in the field industry in the north, then he would not be so entangled in minerals, and asked, "What are your plans in terms of salt?" ”

Sun Xiangfu replied, "I want to adjust refined salt to supply the army, both people and livestock, the army has about 280,000, almost half a catty per person per month, this is the amount of 140,000 catties per month, about 300,000 livestock, and more than 100,000 catties per month, overall, within a year, it will almost supply more than 30,000 stone refined salt, and if it costs 3,000 stones per month, can Shen Tuyong produce it?" ”

"Three thousand stones a month? I'm afraid it can't, now in addition to the salt used to make salted fish for the bean paste workshop, they can only ship 1,000 stone refined salt to the market every month, a few days ago they also proposed, don't make salted fish, only make refined salt for sale, was rejected by the old man, my Wei family is not only concerned about interests, regardless of the people, however, if you want to supply 3,000 stone refined salt to the army every month, even if it is not sold to the outside world, we have to more than double the output, but, if it is expanded, we are afraid that the secret recipe for making salt will leak out. Uncle Wei said with some embarrassment.

Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu thought for a long time before he said, "Since the imperial court has liberalized the control of salt, and everyone knows that the source of refined salt is at sea, then the secrecy is estimated to be only temporary, so it is better to take this opportunity to expand the entire industry, seize all the markets, and earn more money in the form of volume."

So be it! I will write a letter to Yue Guogong later, asking him to help coordinate the manpower, directly send five times the number of people to Shen Tuyong, develop a few more salt-making islands, and manage the manpower from the skilled salt-making workers under Shen Tuyong, however, later the imperial court may be like a soybean paste workshop, sending a special tax officer to the island to collect taxes, and the accounts and production process of this industry may also be exposed, and your Wei family must be psychologically prepared. ”

As long as the imperial court does not use salt to control taxes, then it is just an ordinary commodity, and if there are more people making salt, it will not be able to form a monopoly and raise prices, which is good for the country.

Now that the population of Datang is so small, the output is increasing, and the business is becoming more and more prosperous, it is inevitable that refined salt will move towards the era of low prices and become a popular daily commodity. It's just that before the surrounding strong neighbors are resolved, it's good to control the exit.
