『Bolangsha...... That's in the fiefdom of the Yuan Yang King line."

Wei Tianzi frowned and pondered.

As the king who ruled the entire territory of the Great Wei, Wei Tianzi did not dare to guarantee that he could remember every piece of land in the country, but the surrounding areas of Daliang, he still knew very well, how could he not know that Bolangsha was in the eastern suburbs of the Yuanyang Kingdom, and belonged to the clansmen of the branch of the Yuanyang King surnamed Zhao.

After pondering for a moment, Wei Tianzi frowned and asked, "Do you want me to come forward and win that land for you?" ”

Although he said so, it is undeniable that Wei Tianzi at this time really had a headache, after all, the branch of the former Yang King was not sealed by him, but canonized by him as the founding king of the Great Wei Dynasty, and it was left by the first king. Therefore, unless the line of the Yuan Yang King takes the initiative to approve of this matter, otherwise, even if he is the current king of Great Wei, he has no right to encroach on the fiefdom of his fellow clan.

The attitude of the Zongfu and the attitude of the other side branches of the Ji surname Zhao in the country make this matter very involved, and if one is not good, he will lose the support of the Zhao clan surnamed Ji.

"Can't you change a piece of land? I am referring to Bolangsha. ”

After thinking for a while, Wei Tianzi asked with a little headache.

At this moment, he saw Zhao Hongrun laughing, took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to his father, and said with a smile: "In fact, this matter has been resolved." ”

"Solved? So what are you doing here for me?'

Wei Tianzi took the paper suspiciously and glanced at it a few times, and immediately his face changed slightly.

After all, this contract is clearly written: Zhao Chengxiu, the son of the former Yang Wang, leased more than ten miles of land in Bolangsha to his son at a price of 150,000 taels, and the lease period was 99,999 years.

Although it is a lease, it is no different from a sale.

“……”

Frowning and glancing at Zhao Hongrun, Wei Tianzi once again cast his eyes on the contract in his hand, and his face became more and more somber.

He cares. It was not that Zhao Hongrun drilled the criminal law of the Great Wei, and reached the problem in this way of leasing when he knew that the criminal law of the Great Wei did not allow the private sale of fiefdoms, after all, the education method of the Zhao clan surnamed Ji was like this: unscrupulous means, as long as it does not violate the basic principles, any means can be used.

Therefore. Zhao Hongrun has the ability to transfer this piece of land that originally belonged to the Yuanyang Wang's family into his own private ownership, this is his ability, Wei Tianzi will only praise, and will not blame.

But the problem is that this title deed infringes on the interests of the Yuan Yang Wang family!

I have to say that Wei Tianzi is a far-sighted king, and he naturally understands that Bolangsha is still just a wasteland now, but once his son Zhao Hongrun invests a lot of money to build this place into a river port. The value of this piece of land called Bolangsha is bound to appreciate rapidly, but Zhao Chengxiu, the stupid son of Zhao Wenkai, the king of Yuanyang, actually sold this land to Zhao Hongrun for a mere 150,000 yuan, which is simply stupid!

And compared to that stupid distant nephew, his own son ......

Wei Tianzi couldn't help but glance at Zhao Hongrun, and secretly compared his son with that nephew, Zhao Chengxiu, and came to a conclusion. As a father, he experienced an inexplicable pride.

"Zongfu...... Found you? Wei Tianzi asked in a calm tone.

Zhao Hongrun was slightly taken aback when he heard this, but he thought about it. I don't think it's strange, after all, the father in front of him is a Ming Jun that he is not sure he can defeat, and it is not surprising that he can guess this possibility.

"Yes." Zhao Hongrun nodded and said truthfully: "The second uncle will go to the Zongfu today. ”

Hear that. Wei Tianzi's expression became a little strange, after all, he had already guessed the purpose of Zhao Hongrun's coming to him: "Do you want me to support you?" ”

Zhao Hongrun said with a smile: "Lao Tzu supports his son, isn't it a matter of course!" …… Right, Father? ”

『……』

Wei Tianzi was a little crying and laughing, after all, he didn't see the son in front of him so well-behaved on weekdays.

Shook his head speechlessly. Wei Tianzi pondered for a moment and said succinctly: "Persuade me!" ”

"Whoa!"

Seeing that deliberately currying favor did not achieve the goal, although this matter did not surprise Zhao Hongrun, it still made him a little disappointed and dissatisfied.

This is the difference between the royal family and ordinary families, as the king of a country, Wei Tianzi could not decide to support him just because of Zhao Hongrun's "father's emperor".

After thinking about it, Zhao Hongrun Zhengse said: "Father, son, the minister thinks that the strategy of rapidly improving national strength is best to first concentrate on concentrating on technology to develop a certain piece of land, and replace the old and backward model of relying solely on manpower to promote national strength with intensive management. …… That is, resource intensive, process intensive, and manpower intensive. ”

『……』

Wei Tianzi opened his mouth, his mood was really a little complicated, after all, sometimes, when the son in front of him talked eloquently about the current shortcomings of Dawei and the future development direction, as a father, he had a faint feeling that he couldn't keep up with his son's thinking.

To put it bluntly, he doesn't understand.

"Be specific." Wei Tianzi interrupted.

Probably guessed something, Zhao Hongrun paused, and added: "The so-called intensification refers to the efficient and full use of manpower and material resources, and the main policy is to achieve maximum profits with minimum input. …… Let's take an analogy with the candle. Originally, the domestic candles of my Great Wei were made by Yubu and many large and small workshops in China, because of the relationship between the process, the manpower investment was great, but the efficiency, that is, the number of finished candles produced every day was not high, and the transportation and sales channels were also very chaotic. Now, our smelting bureau is responsible for building and repairing molds, Yu is responsible for producing candles, and the warehouse department is responsible for purchasing raw materials from the market and launching finished candles to the market. The reason is that there is a clear division of labor among the Metallurgical Manufacturing Bureau, Yu Department, and Warehouse Department, each of which is responsible for one of the links of the entire interest chain. ”

"Hmm." Wei Tianzi nodded, he roughly remembered it, but if he wanted to understand, he would probably have to think about it carefully after going back, or discuss it with the three Zhongshu ministers: "What does this have to do with your construction of the river port?" ”

"Father, don't worry. Rong Erchen said slowly. Zhao Hongrun paused, and then said: "And the development model of my smelting bureau, Erchen also follows this policy, and its specific steps are to build a top-notch workshop, hearth and other facilities outside Daliang City, and my father may as well call it an 'industrial zone'." This industrial area. He has decided to build the company at any cost, so that the Smelting Bureau will have the best workshops and hearths in the country, and at the same time, it will train skilled workers and hone the existing skills of the craftsmen, so that the efficiency of manufacturing equipment can be greatly increased. …… My father can be regarded as the industrial area built by his sons in the future will be the most efficient production base of my Great Wei. If the country needs weapons. With its state-of-the-art mold casting technology, the industrial zone can produce weapons in batches; And if the country needs armor, in the same way, our smelting and manufacturing bureau can also produce armor far beyond the imagination of the world in a short period of time. Why? Because this industrial area is home to the best facilities, the best craftsmen and the best technology! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Hongrun glanced up at Wei Tianzi, and suddenly asked, "Father thinks that by that time." Are the local workshops capable of competing with the industrial zones of our Smelting Bureau? …… In fact, until then. As long as the raw materials are sufficient, our Smelting Bureau will be able to independently undertake the weapons and armor required by the six battalions of the garrison and even all the armies in the country. Finally, it is more convenient and efficient to ship the finished products to various armies. ”

Wei Tianzi slowly closed his eyes, thought for a moment, and only then nodded and muttered after half a ring: "So you want to strengthen the transportation capacity of the warehouse......" Speaking of this, he raised his head. Looking at Zhao Hongrun, he smiled and said, "You have already convinced me halfway." ”

『……』

Looking at Wei Tianzi's smiling expression, Zhao Hongrun seemed to have guessed something, and said with some wistfulness: "Fang Cai, it's just for the development of my Great Wei, what else...... The interests of Bolangsha River Port are willing to be handed over to the imperial court in the future! ”

"Deal!" Wei Tianzi agreed with a smile.

Looking at Wei Tianzi's full smile, Zhao Hongrun pursed his lips and felt a scarf in his heart: It seems that this kind of Lao Tzu who is still scheming with his own son, I am afraid that there is no one except the one in front of him.

"Don't think you're at a loss." As if he had seen through Zhao Hongrun's thoughts, Wei Tianzi smiled and said with relief: "Zhao Chengxiu can't see the value of Bolangsha in the future, but I can see it." …… That's far more than the wealth you got from the Chu State, and it's endless. Don't blame me for speaking bluntly, even if you are now respected by many people as King Su, even if you are my son, you will definitely not be able to defend the two golden river ports of Bolangsha and Xiangfu Port in the future. …… Let the court benefit, this is the best way for you to retain control of those two river ports. ”

Speaking of this, he stood up, patted his son on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I will leave you one or two percent, I believe this is enough money to qualify you to run the Smelting Bureau." ”

"Only one or two percent?" Zhao Hongrun looked dissatisfied.

"Are you the Zhao Chengxiu?" Wei Tianzi smiled when he heard this: "That's it, it seems that you need to invest a lot of money in the early stage, and I will give you 20%. …… Don't be greedy, only with the full support of the imperial court, you can build those two river ports according to your vision, and gradually change the girders, and even ...... The whole of Dawei. When he said the last four words, a trace of inexplicable color flashed in his eyes, and he disappeared in a flash.

"Twenty percent, ah......"

Zhao Hongrun muttered in his heart for a while, although he still felt a little dissatisfied, but it was undeniable that what his father said was correct: he alone could not hold these two huge gold mountains, and only by pulling the six departments of the imperial court into the gang, and even the military side to form a powerful interest group, could he avoid that huge wealth being coveted by other forces.

"Let's go to the Zongfu, it's not too early."

may have seen that Zhao Hongrun was still a little unhappy, Wei Tianzi did not dismantle it, and patted Zhao Hongrun's shoulder to remind.

After all, Wei Tianzi also understood that the profits of those two river ports were far from being comparable to the money they had obtained from the Chu State, and it was very likely that they were two inexhaustible mountains of gold.

"By the way, I will call Lang Wei to lead Zhou Ji later, and personally send you to the Zongfu." Wei Tianzi added with a smile.

Lang (Lang) Guard, that is a palace guard half a level higher than the Praetorian Guard, is only responsible for guarding some important palaces in the Great Wei court, and is the highest status guard among the "three guards" of the guards, the janissary guards, and the Lang guards.

And Wei Tianzi asked Lang Wei to lead Zhou Ji to personally escort Zhao Hongrun to the Zongfu, which means that it is self-evident. (To be continued.) )
