Chapter 0570: Changes in the Two Prefectures (Part II)
『Chapter error, click here to report』
With Yang Qi providing so many opportunities, the talents in the two mansions will definitely spring out quickly.
In this era when Confucianism was in power, the rotten Confucians hidden in the countryside were not the talents Yang Qi needed at all.
Yang Qi didn't need to be a corporal at all, and he bowed down and invited them out of the mountain.
Love comes, and it's not uncommon for me not to come.
There is the question of education, which is the last of the many questions that Kou Zhun asked.
After dealing with Kou Zhun's request, Yang Qi sent someone to send it to Kou Zhun quickly.
The next thing to deal with is the problem of Fengcheng Ling Chen Yao.
Fengcheng Ling Chen Yao is now a special existence in the officialdom of the two prefectures.
Although he was in charge of a city, and a part of the land around it.
It's about the size of a county. But his authority is unique.
He is also the only one among the many county-level yamen who does not need to ask Kou Zhun for something, but directly asks Yang Qi for the existence of something.
Everything in Fengcheng is directly responsible for Yang Qi.
There are three things that Fengcheng asked Chen Yao to play.
First, due to the influx of a large number of merchants, many merchants even stayed in Fengcheng to buy industries, and the original Fengcheng was no longer enough to meet the needs of merchants. Therefore, Chen Yao applied for Yang Qi's approval to allow him to expand the construction of the city on the basis of the current Fengcheng.
Chen Yao's request is double.
With a stroke of the pen, Yang Qi directly approved five times.
The purchasing power and sense of smell of a businessman are keen.
Coupled with the fact that Yang Qi had begun to secretly control the economy of Liao, the future Fengcheng trade would only get bigger and bigger.
Therefore, the expansion of the city by twice as much is far from meeting the needs of the market.
At the same time, Yang Qi also hoped to take advantage of this policy to attract a large number of merchants from the Great Song Dynasty to settle down in Fengcheng.
How terrifying the ability of a businessman is, Yang Qi has seen it.
How strong their background is, Yang Qi also has a prediction.
But it is not difficult to see from the news of later generations that nearly 100 kilograms, thousands of kilograms, and so on have been dug up in such and such places.
Yang Qi is ready to attract these people in, and then attract them to deposit money in the southern money bank.
In this way, he tied the merchants to his warship.
As long as Yang Qi holds forty percent of the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty in his hands, he can influence the price changes of the Great Song Dynasty anytime and anywhere, and control half of the Great Song economy.
Second, due to the increasing prosperity of Fengcheng's commerce, money from all over the world continued to pour into Fengcheng, and the money used by all parties was of different sizes, casting processes, and values, which was usually very troublesome to deliver, and there were many incidents as a result.
For example, there was a merchant in Jiangning Province, who negotiated a deal of leather goods with someone, and the two parties signed a contract under the justice of the yamen and paid it in copper coins.
The two parties agreed that a complete sheepskin would be 150 yuan, and a complete cowhide would be 780 yuan.
However, at the time of the settlement between the two sides, the merchants of Jiangning Mansion took out a batch of unique copper coins to trade with the leather merchants.
Sand money.
What is sand money?
It is the kind of copper coin with a copper content of about 10%, and it can float in water.
This kind of coin was prevalent in the Southern Tang Dynasty during the reign of Li Yu, the later lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
At that time, the officials of the DPRK and China levied violently, and in the minting workshop, a large number of coins were cut corners and minted to harm the people.
It stands to reason that this kind of coin has perished along with the southern kingdom, but I didn't expect that there would be people who could take out this kind of money now.
Compared with the authentic Taiping Xingguo Tongbao of the Great Song Dynasty, the exchange ratio is ten to one.
That is, according to the terms of the contract between the two merchants.
The skins of the leather merchants are sold at a loss of nearly ten times the price.
Where are the fur merchants willing to work?
The two of them finally got into trouble with Fengcheng Yamen.
Chen Yao took this as an example and made a suggestion to Yang Qi, that is, to mint coins.
The process of minting coins is not complicated, and if Yang Qi wants to mint coins, he can mint them at any time.
It's just that if Yang Qi minted coins in the northwest, once the coins were minted and circulated to the market, if the imperial historians of the Great Song Dynasty seized this matter to make a fuss, Yang Qi would also cause a lot of trouble.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Yang Qi decided that it would be up to the Southern Money Bank to mint coins and implement the Southern Coin.
There are three benefits to this.
First, it can save Yang Qi a lot of trouble.
Second, the reputation of the money bank in the south will quickly get the support of the businessmen.
Third, it can quickly make the currency of the southern money bank become a currency circulating in various countries in the shortest possible time.
Third, there are requests for instructions on the sale of weapons and equipment by the wild beggar tribes.
The friction between the Yeqi tribe and the Li clan is becoming more and more intense, and war between the two clans is inevitable.
While Chen Yao sold weapons to the Yeqi tribe, he also secretly hooked up with Li Jiqian, and at the same time sold weapons to Li Jiqian.
However, this matter was not known to Ye Qi Ganbo, and the envoy sent by Ye Qi Ganbo negotiated with Chen Yao.
It was clearly proposed that Yang Qi was no longer allowed to sell weapons to the Li clan, and at the same time, he had to provide the Yeqi tribe with the most advanced and powerful weapons and equipment in Yang Qi's hands at present. Otherwise, the wild beggar would tear up the covenant and march south.
Yang Qi scratched his head and thought for a long time, he found that the most advanced and powerful weapons and equipment in his hand should be equipment worth thousands of taels developed for the Iron Cavalry.
Yang Qi felt that Ye Qi Ganbo had been squeezed by him once, and it was quite ruthless.
The equipment that was equipped to the Iron Cavalry was sold to the wild beggar Ganbo, Yang Qi actually didn't care, equipment was always updating.
After a trip to Liao, Yang Qi had a new idea of restructuring the equipment of the Iron Cavalry.
The problem is that even if Yang Qi is willing to be sold to Ye Qi Ganbo, the poor ghost of Ye Qi Ganbo may not be able to afford it.
As for Ye Qiganbo's request to tear up the covenant and wave his troops south, Yang Qi decisively ignored it.
Under the watchful eye of Li Jiqian, the old wolf, if the old and sick tiger dared to leave the party, Li Jiqian would swallow the scum of the wild beggar tribe.
Agreed to Ye Qi Ganbo's request not to sell weapons to Li Jiqian, and refused Ye Qi Ganbo's request to purchase the most advanced and powerful weapons and equipment.
The reason is that the wild beggar can't afford it.
This is Yang Qi's reply to Chen Yao's last question.
After taking care of all political affairs, it was the turn of military affairs.
There are also a lot of military affairs, there are invitations about military affairs, there are Wang Gui's, Yang Da's, Yang Wu's, and Yang Hong's.
Yang Hong's recital was somewhat similar to Kou Zhun's previous one, and everything in the Martial Academy was ready.
The men and horses sent by the Zhejia family are also in place.
At present, there are less than ten students in the martial arts academy.
With a stroke of his pen, Yang Qi directly sent all the cadres below the battalion level to the martial arts academy for transformation.
Cadres below the battalion level are the most numerous cadres in the army, and many of them have been promoted without even fighting a few battles.
These people are the backbone of Yang Qijun, and they are also the group of people who lack the most education and experience.
Lao Wanggui's request was a little embarrassing.
To put it simply, it is idle.
Now, the 50,000 soldiers of the Datong Army have been replenished, and these people have also been trained by Wang Gui for a long time, and they have been updated and put on new equipment.
Lao Wang Gui felt that it was necessary to fight a few battles and hone it.
Yang Qi found that the generals of this era seem to have a consensus, that is, soldiers and horses who have never fought are not good soldiers, and an army that has never fought is not elite.
Yang Qi is not willing to make trouble for the time being, but if he doesn't fight, he can't train elite soldiers.
After thinking about it for a while, Yang Qi wrote a long letter and asked people to send it to Chen Yao along with Chen Yao's documents that had been approved.
That letter was Yang Qi asked Chen Yao to hand it over to Ye Qi Ganbo.
The general meaning is: dear, I heard that your eldest brother is going to bully you, I can't stand it, and I'm ready to support you to do it with him. Do you need military support? If you need it, you can call at any time, give money or land.
Ye Qi Ganbo saw how the letter would decide, and Yang Qi didn't know, in short, he had already thrown an olive branch to Ye Qi Ganbo.
As long as Ye Qi Ganbo grabbed the olive branch, then Yang Qi would have the opportunity to let Lao Wang Gui take someone out to hone it.
Lao Wanggui's request was entrusted to Ye Qiganbo.
Yang Qi opened Yang Da's invitation, and when he saw it, he almost laughed angrily.
Yang Da said at the invitation that the Rangers frequently swept outside the Fuxing Pass, and each time they gained a lot, and the soldiers of the Fuxing Army looked at it with hot eyes and wanted to participate.
Yang Qi could see at a glance the intention in Yang Da's heart.
Yang Da's mind is the same as that of Lao Wang Gui, and he is also idle.
Seeing that his subordinates were strong and strong, he wanted to go out and do a wave.
Yang Qi replied decisively to Yang Da, rejected Yang Da's request, and explicitly told Yang Da that it was strictly forbidden for any soldier to leave the customs, and the whole army must enter a state of recuperation.
After nearly half a year of continuous battles last year, Fuxing Mansion now looks prosperous, but in fact, it was all piled up by Yang Qi with silver.
Really calculated, the foundation of Fuxing Mansion is very low and cannot withstand the toss.
Yang Wu's recital was the most satisfying for Yang Qi.
After more than half a year of visits, with the help of the scarecrow and the volcano guard, Yang Wu selected nearly 10,000 young people between the ages of fifteen and twenty.
These people are basically selected from one out of ten thousand.
One race is different.
In short, each one meets the requirements of a thug, or has the potential to become a thug.
Yang Wu asked Yang Qi to allocate them a training camp as soon as possible, as well as all the necessary materials.
Now these people are temporarily living in Fuxing Pass, and one by one, they are young and vigorous, and they are stronger than others, and they have already had dozens of fights with the soldiers of the Fuxing Army.
Yang Qi's reply was very simple, let Yang Wu wait a while, and he would personally go to Fuxing Guan to inspect it in the near future.
After these business matters are handled, all that remains is two private messages.
One is handed to Yang Yansi by Yan Tianzi, and the other is a letter from Yu Xun.
The content of the private message is very simple, only one sentence.
Someone wants to see you......
Yang Qi could guess who was going to see him with his eyes closed, and nine out of ten of the old antiques from the Daomen had figured it out and wanted to talk to Yang Qi.
I can't see the old antiques of the Daomen, how to see them, Yang Qi hasn't thought about it yet, so he put this matter on hold for the time being.
The letter to Ori Yuxun is very long.
It explained in detail the current situation of the party, and invited Yang Qi to go to the folded family.
"My uncle, I can't help it......"
Yang Qi put down the letter of the folded Yuxun, shook his head and smiled.
The Zhejia family has deep roots in the northwest, and the five counties of Linzhou and Yinzhou, which were previously recovered, have been quickly digested.
The Yang family does not have a deep foundation in the northwest, so it is still in the digestion period.
Yang Qi could understand Yu Xun's anxious thoughts, but he was a little powerless.
With the current power of the two Yang families, it is easy to take advantage of the internal strife in the party to bite off a piece of meat from the party.
But there is a risk in between.
Once Li Jiqian and Ye Qi Ganbo hug up and unite with the outside world, it is very likely that they will be dealt a head-on blow.
Moreover, the most elite Dingyan army under Li Jiqian's command did not cause much loss in the previous war, which was a threat to the Zheyang family.
Of course, the main threat still comes from the Great Song.
No one can guarantee that Zhao Guangyi will suddenly attack and give the Yang family a blow from behind.
After all, now the rebellion of the Fu family in Suzhou and Jiangning Mansion has been quelled.
The second master of the Fu family was also escorted to Bianjing City and cut into a bone frame.
Da Song now has every chance to free up his hands and give them a ruthless blow.
As a result, the two companies now look like they are on thin ice.
Therefore, it is not suitable to start a war with the party for the time being.
Yang Qi couldn't afford to gamble.
However, the letter from Yu Xun still made Yang Qi see something that excited him.
The previous family was afraid of Zhao Guangyi, so they have been living in Fuzhou in a proper manner.
Now, with the help of Yang Qi, the territory of the Zhe family has doubled, and it has also gotten rid of the control of the imperial court, and the Zhe family has completely let go of the ambition in their hearts.
The folded family has the intention to annex the party, which is a gratifying thing in Yang Qi's view.
The aggressiveness of the nation, which we lost a long time ago.
Now, Yang Qi has used his means to awaken the aggressiveness of a nation step by step.
Yang Qi does not think that an extremely aggressive nation will be beaten into a sieve after a thousand years.
When a nation's aggressiveness is completely unleashed, when the people of a nation see the benefits of aggression, there are only two things left for them to do.
Aggression against others.
On the way to aggression against others.
It was with this extremely aggressive support that the empire of the sun never set, which shook the annals of history, developed step by step into a huge empire.
Even if the colonies were dismantled, they were still imprinted with the imprint of an empire on which the sun never sets.
Yang Qi does not think that a nation with a thousand-year-old cultural precipitation will lose to others after throwing away the moral shackles that bind it.
Yang Qi put down the letter in his hand, paced to the window of the study, looked at the bamboo forest outside the window, and muttered in a low voice.
"I see, I conquer ......"
"This kind of words will also be regarded as classics?"
"Joke!"
"What Lao Tzu has to do is to conquer even if he is lying in the coffin board."
