Pingzhang Jia seems to have really taken out the strength to eat, he usually fights crickets and crickets, and picks nuns and nuns, but he still does a lot of business, he reads maps, reads newspapers, and studies history books every day. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After handing over a lot of power, the work pressure is also much less, and there is time to plan more bad ideas.

He once saw an article in the "Liuqiu Times", which wrote about the situation of various merchants in the Great Song Dynasty, saying that they owned no less than 10,000 sea ships of more than 2,000 stones!

This has already reached one-third of the total number of ships of the Great Song Dynasty!

"Liuqiu Times" also took the Pu Shou Geng Pu family in Quanzhou City as an example, and briefly introduced the main body of the merchants, returning to the merchants, also called the business strength of the Semu merchants, it turned out that everyone could have been rich and rivaled the country.

Zhang Guoan's original intention in writing such an article was to let the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty learn from each other, see the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty, run around the world, where the business is easy to do, where they can start a family and start a business, and how good their lives are.

Why should there be no place to leave the homeland? Come and settle on my Liuqiu Island, the business here is easy to do------ this is the subtext of Zhang Guoan's owner.

In fact, there are many merchants who come to settle on Liuqiu Island, but most of them are second-level merchants, that is, agents of major merchants, of course, they are also wealthy customers and merchants, but the weight level is still not enough.

This is like the status of Liuqiu Island in the eyes of the Great Song government.

Is it useful to ask for the island? Great use!

Is it important to ask for the island? It's not too important------

Therefore, the owner of Zhang Guoan Island really hopes to come to some big families, not much, more than a dozen, and the whole situation is different.

As long as they obey the regulations of Liuqiu Island, Zhang Guoan is not afraid that they will become bigger and stronger, in a normal society, there is no taboo businessman who makes a lot of money, as long as they are all right.

At least those big businessmen in the Great Song Dynasty who are rich and rival the country are living a good life now.

In the same situation, Ping Zhangjia didn't look at it this way, but he thought of how to use these merchants from this article.

At the core meeting of the Great Song Dynasty government, the first thing he proposed was to make friends from afar and attack closely!

He wants to mobilize the returning merchants to contact the Mamluk power in Egypt, and they all believe in Islam!

Let them help the Great Song Dynasty establish a kind of non-governmental alliance with each other on the face, and a national-level alliance on the inside!

In this way, the Great Song Dynasty would not tear up its face with the Tatars, and it also helped the Mamluk power in Egypt, allowing them to attack the Ilkhanate more powerfully!

The Ilkhanate is the most powerful ally of the Tatar bandit group, and they have a very close relationship with each other, asking for craftsmen for craftsmen, and cavalry for cavalry------ which is actually the right-hand man of the great leader Kublai Khan!

Moreover, the most important thing is that the Egyptian Mamluk power and the Ilkhanate are natural mortal enemies, there is no need to instigate, as long as there is an opportunity, their war will inevitably occur, much stronger than the situation of Liuqiu in the Shandong Peninsula, they always say that they want to fight, but they do not do it easily, and even give a lot of materials, they only moved, the scale is not very large!

After hearing this, the privy envoy Wu Jian said indifferently: "It's just a plan for long-distance friendship and close attack------ but the power of the Mamluks in Egypt is too far away from my Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Pingzhang Jia seems to be angry at all, the characteristic of rotten Confucianism is that as soon as you say it, he can find out the allusion, but he will never think of a way in advance.

He said coldly: "Although Ali Mari City is a little closer, they can only travel by land, compared with the sea route, but it may not be as convenient as Cairo to come here!"

I must know this in my heart. ”

Da Song Jixiang immediately agreed, and said: "Yes, yes, if nothing happens, the sea route is far more convenient and faster than the land route, and the consumption is also extremely economical." ”

Pingzhang Jia said lightly: "Those merchants attached themselves to my Great Song Dynasty and made a fortune, and they should also make some efforts!"

Let them sell them some arquebuses------ it's not my Great Song government's doing. ”

Yu Tianren, the secretary of the military department, said worriedly: "How can heavy weapons in the army be easily sold to others?!" ”

Zhao Yu, the official of the Great Song Dynasty, couldn't help it, he said: "The former said that the Mamluk power in Egypt is thousands of miles away from me, as long as they can attack the Ilkhanate and cut off the help of the Tatar bandit group, what will happen there, and what does it have to do with my Great Song Dynasty?"

Those who do great things, why stick to stereotypes?! ”

Yu Tian, the secretary of the military department, was at any time nuonuo, and the sweat came down, and when he spoke, he really forgot the actual situation.

Pingzhang Jia seemed to say the second article slowly, streamlining the government.

There are not many soldiers, but in the elite, in the navy!

As for Jian Zheng, let's put the military first------ Speaking of this, Pingzhang Jia seemed to close his mouth very cunningly.

What is the simplified government in his mind? It's he who has all the power in his hands!

But he can't say.

Third, if we still support the harassment of the Tatar clique and force them to intensify their efforts with interests, why can't we go to the southeast coast, which is 400 miles away from the capital, to harass them?!

If the income is insufficient, Da Song can make up for them!!

Zhao Yu, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, frequently nodded in approval every time his master said a little way, and the boredom in his heart was removed a lot.

Empress Dowager Xie behind the bead curtain saw everything clearly, she was a smart woman, and she was also a woman who did not love power, she saw that promoting Wu Jian was a wrong decision, but the opinions of the ministers could not be violated.

Let them deal with these things, and if it comes to the last moment, let the old man come forward.

After saying goodbye, she got up and drove back without saying a word.

However, all three of Pingzhangjia's methods were finally passed, and no one could come up with a better way.

In fact, there are other warlords who are also paying attention to the current situation.

At this time, the two-Huai system made Li Tingzhi also think about the current situation.

History has changed a lot, the Great Song Dynasty held Xiangyang, and the former deputy commander of the palace made Fan Wenhu also successfully rescued, so the two Huai system made Li Tingzhi not have to raise troops to go to Xiangyang to rescue and suffered a fiasco.

He only needs to run Yangzhou City, an important town in Lianghuai.

As mentioned above, Yangzhou City is known as the salt capital.

When Li Tingzhi first arrived in Yangzhou, it had just suffered from the disaster of war, and there were ruins and broken walls everywhere, and many salt-boiling households fled outside the city.

In order to restore the economy as soon as possible, Li Tingzhi ordered that all taxes owed by the people of Yangzhou be exempted, and at the same time he lent money to the local people to rebuild their homes, and after the people's houses were completed, they were exempted from loans.

In this way, it only took about a year, and Yanli gradually prospered, and gradually, the appearance of Yangzhou City was completely new, and even many merchants came back.

As early as the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou City was an important commercial city for merchants.

At that time, merchants from all over the world came to Yangzhou to deal in treasures and precious medicinal materials, and at the same time purchased silk or special medicinal materials from the Tang Dynasty.

In the Great Song Dynasty, it became more and more prosperous, and it is said that for every ten people, there must be one Fan person, and its prosperity can be seen.

The war destroyed all this, but the two-Huai system gave Li Tingzhi the confidence to restore the prosperity here.

Originally, it started very well, and the development was very smooth, but soon, he found that Yangzhou's sea salt was violently rushed out by what flowed for sea salt, and many government-run salt cooking workshops closed down one after another.

Li Tingzhi had to change the focus of development, changing the resale of boiled salt to the resale of sea salt, and at the same time vigorously supported the silk industry, so that Yangzhou City could continue to recover and develop.

In military affairs, he also attached great importance to it, not only equipped with large stone cannons produced by the military department, but also obtained a large amount of cement from the military headquarters to repair the city wall; Later, he was given arquebuses and rockets, and he was overjoyed when he tried them, thinking that they were a sharp weapon for defending the city!

However, the head of his staff, Lu Xiufu, who had moved to the third place to be in charge of Jiyi writing, said that it was not foolproof to have such a sharp weapon to defend the city, Yangzhou City had a large population, and all the food and firewood needed were transported from outside.

If there is no food, how can the army and civilians defend the city?

There is a point in that.

When Lu Xiufu said this, of course he didn't know that his super promotion path had been broken. (To be continued.) )
