Chapter 765

It was easy for Zhao Xu, the originally enterprising young emperor, to agree with Wang Wushan's ideas and views, so he also issued a clear edict to Wang Wushan, the envoy of the Three Prefectures.

The newly occupied land, the people are not prosperous, and all industries are withering, so that the Great Song Dynasty can stabilize the border fortress, and the quasi-king Wushan considers the means to increase the population and pay taxes for a long time.

At this time, many important ministers in the DPRK were panicked and unwilling to continue to provoke the authority of the Son of Heaven at this time, and finally passed the court.

At that time, the quid pro quo was that Wang Wushan had to ensure that the taxes of the three states could not be lower than the average of the taxes paid by the states on the Shaanxi Road of the Great Song Dynasty.

After the decree was issued, many important ministers were very sure that Wang Wushan's goods would definitely not last long, after all, the land of the three states was too barren, and even if a large number of people migrated to it, it was still insufficient.

If you want to be able to be on par with the taxes of the states on Shaanxi Road, at least the ministers in the court don't think there is such a possibility even if they want to break their heads.

It's a pity that Wang Wushan is no one else, he has more vision and perspective than people of this era for thousands of years, cotton alone is enough to attract a large number of wealthy merchants and magnates of the Great Song Dynasty, even if they have to pay taxes every acre of wasteland, they are willing to risk a lot of money to buy.

Once cotton cultivation is successful, it is inevitable that a large number of textile factories will need a large number of laborers, and the sale of a large number of cotton cloth will inevitably bring rich taxes to these three states.

Even if these are just expectations now, Zhao Xu can already be sure that Wang Wushan can definitely make the faces of those civil and military officials who were originally happy and ready to see the jokes of the land of Sanzhou swollen like pigs' heads.

“…… Your Majesty really has a heart, it seems that Your Majesty really trusts Wang Wushan, and even found the old man here for Wang Wushan. Su Dongpo slowly put down the letter in his hand, stroked his long beard, and let out a breath of air.

"Since Your Majesty also has this awareness, it proves that Your Majesty also agrees with our judgment, and the goal of the Liao army is very likely to be the land of Sanzhou." The Seed Master Dao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At the beginning, the most worrying thing was the pressure from the court, but now, the letter from the Son of Heaven has given a signal to Master Su and the Seed Master, the Son of Heaven agrees with their judgment, and also allows them to make a certain range of arrangements in the territory of Shaanxi Road.

However, all this must be based on the premise of not alarming the court and not attracting the impeachment of many important ministers in the court, which also shows that the Son of Heaven agrees, but also shares with them, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

In case the boiling Xingda army of the Great Song Dynasty intended to resist the Liao State, and as a result, the Liao Army walked around and walked back like a nervous person, then the Great Song Dynasty's face would be lost.

Not...... Face, this thing is still very important, especially for the Great Song Dynasty, which is very good-skinned.

"Shidao, how many soldiers and horses can we mobilize to the border with the land of Sanzhou?" Su Dongpo paced to the map hanging in the hall and stood still.

"If you want not to alarm the court, as well as many officials on our Shaanxi Road, the number of soldiers and horses that can be mobilized will not exceed 10,000. The last general can lead the army to cruise on the front line of the border with Sanzhou on the grounds of inspecting the military equipment in various places, and ......" The seed master Dao frowned and gave his own answer after thinking about it.

"Well, this method is good, but if the Liao army suddenly arrives, it will be frustrated...... In this way, the old man will go to the news and ask Wang Wu...... Hey? Why are you here, kid. Before Su Dongpo's words fell, he saw Wang Yang and Wang Wushan rushing into the door.

"I've seen Bachelor Su and studied generals, Wang received a letter from His Majesty, so I came over to ask Bachelor Su for a bargain." After Wang Yang saluted, he took a sip of warm tea and moistened his throat, and then he made his intention clear.

"I see, the old man has just received a letter from His Majesty, and he is discussing with Shidao how to help you, but I don't think you have already rushed to Huanzhou." Su Dongpo smiled with relief.

"Say, how do you want the old man and the general to help?"

Wang Yang, who had already hit the abdomen, replied. "Wang hopes that General Chong can send 5,000 men and horses to Yanzhou first, and the land of Sanzhou still belongs to Shaanxi Road, since this is the case, if General Chong enters the land of Sanzhou on the grounds of inspecting the military strategy of the states, no one will dare to stand up and talk about this."

As soon as Wang Yang said this idea, he saw Su Dongpo and Seed Master Dao looking at each other and smiling, looking like it was really like this. "Could it be that the two adults have already thought of this method?"

Su Dongpo stroked his long beard and smiled. "Haha...... Just before you entered the door, General Tan happened to talk about this idea, and it seems that you really have a good idea. ”

Wang Yang and Breeder Dao, the two male masters with strong hormone secretion, normal body structure development, and particularly normal sexual orientation, couldn't help but shiver in unison, and looked at the heartless and grinning Su scholar with disgusted expressions.

"The old man is just joking with the two of you to liven up the atmosphere, hehe...... Come on, come on, Wushan, what else do you want, just say come and listen, but if the old man can help, he will definitely help. Master Su still said with a smug look.

"Since you've said so, you're welcome." Wang Yang rolled his eyes, and said with some toothache. "How about asking Master Su to give me the armament of the land of the three states first?"

"Huh? What do you mean. Su Dongpo blinked a little confused, not quite understanding what Wang Yang meant.

"Your Majesty has said that two thousand sets of Yuan You armor and five thousand Yuan You crossbows will be transported over, but from Tokyo Bianliang to Shaanxi Road, I am afraid that even if you are in a hurry, it will take at least half a month, and at such a speed, it is very likely that you will not be in a hurry, so Xia Guan wants to borrow one from you first."

“…… Borrow? You mean, let's give you 2,000 sets of Yuanyou armor and 5,000 Yuanyou crossbows, and those weapons shipped from Jingshi are in exchange, right? Seed Master Dao quickly understood Wang Yang's intentions.

"Yes, that's what it means, I don't know what the general thinks? This is a trade-in, such a deal, for a kind of general, you are definitely not a loss. Wang Yang smiled and looked at the seed master who was shining with his eyes.

"How can you say that, you are not a businessman." The seed master subconsciously put on a righteous and strict appearance. "However, as a martial artist of the Great Song Dynasty, he should consider the gains and losses of the land of Sanzhou as the first choice, and give him three days, and after three days, two thousand sets of Yuan You armor and five thousand Yuan You crossbows will be shipped."
