Chapter 242: The Means of Strengthening the Weak Branch?

In the late autumn of 1285, Jia Pingzhang felt the chill in the Xinbianjing area...... This chill is far stronger than that of Hangzhou City.

He ordered the housekeeper to burn the boiler in advance to deliver warm water to the entire Xinjia Mansion.

In the big cities of Shandong, the winter heating method has long changed from burning iron stoves or burning kang to warm water heating.

A hot water boiler, plus some simple equipment such as cast iron pipes and cast iron warm water heat sinks, the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty saw it and learned the method by thinking about it...... Of course, there are some fees associated with this.

The entire Xinbianjing area has been installed by people with a little strength.

The entire palace is also connected to the plumbing...... At this time, they are not yet able to achieve large-scale centralized heating, so they can only come from small pieces one by one.

Jia Pingzhang sat in the warm study and chatted with Liao Yingzhong.

In fact, he wanted to persuade him to become a magistrate, even if he first served as a petty official such as a county magistrate in the surrounding county town...... Sooner or later, he will be transferred back to Xinbianjing.

But Liao Yingzhong, as always, refused.

He devoted himself to sorting out the notes and experiences he had written during his expedition to the island, and further studied the books published on the island.

Suffice it to say, he owns all the books published on the island, even the newspapers he has published.

He went from shock at the beginning to opposition to ...... It wasn't until I found out later that it was just some common sense, but I didn't usually think about it deeply.

For example, the impact of trade surpluses on countries and regions mentioned in The Wealth of Nations...... At the beginning, he heard this term for the first time, and he couldn't help but be afraid, and when he later understood the meaning of this term, he was slightly happy, nothing more than you sell more, I sell less, you collect more business taxes, I less and so on.

For example, in "The Theory of the Wealth of the People", he said that the essence of public ownership is slavery in disguise...... After thinking about it, I understood...... Originally, it wasn't yours, it wasn't mine, it was a specific group of people, and it was the slave owner.

For example, the book says that private property is sacrosanct...... This is more common sense in common sense...... Only Tatar robbers liked to rob other people's property.

However, the common sense mentioned in those books, combined with the actual situation he saw, there was always something surging in his heart, and there were thousands of ideas, but he couldn't say it for a while.

He was desperate to write a book by hand!

However, it is often torn up as it is written...... I don't feel like I'm writing what I really want to write!

Jia Pingzhang also chatted with him from time to time...... There is no way, Jia Pingzhang thinks that he is the only person in this world who is trustworthy and dares to speak his heart to him, even if he doesn't have to come up with ideas to solve the problem.

Jia Pingzhang said softly: "Qunyu, if you can't write, you won't write...... Why bother yourself? ”

"Alas...... If I don't vomit out the blocks in my heart, I can't sleep. ”

Blocks?

Hehe......

Jia Pingzhang said: "In the past, I thought that the public land law was the law for the country and the people, and I was always troubled by the fact that others could not understand it...... Now, after I saw the method of issuing treasury bonds used by the gang on Liuqiu Island, I realized that the public land law can only be regarded as the next policy among the next strategies! ”

What he meant was obvious, even Jia Pingzhang himself had done wrong things in the past, why should there be any barriers in your heart, Liao Yingzhong.

Speaking of the treasury bonds on Liuqiu Island, Liao Yingzhong's eyes lit up and said, "Will my Great Song Dynasty also issue treasury bonds?!" ”

Jia Pingzhang shook his head and said, "Those old guys strongly oppose it, thinking that it is to seize the interests of the people...... Many members of their family started their business in the business of making money. ”

"Nonsense! Treasury bonds are not only issued to the people at home, but also abroad...... The Federal Empire, Japan, and Korea will all be purchased! …… The Tuwang in the Tianzhu region or the big families in the colonies of the Federal Empire will also buy it! ”

Colony? Jia Pingzhang scratched his hair that was getting less and less...... There are too many new words from the side of the island that people will have to think about for a while to understand.

The law of the federal empire's national debt is indeed valid...... After paying the first one-year treasury bonds with half percent interest, they issued two-year and three-year treasury bonds one after another, and each time they were issued, some people snapped up them, and they heard that there were big businessmen in Korea and Japan who bought them.

Jia Pingzhang said: "Nothing that matters about money matters...... What do you think of my approach to strengthening my weak branches? ”

Liao Yingzhong arched his hand and said: "It is a fair and righteous matter to recover the military power of local warlords and realize the nationalization of the army...... Now that our Great Song Dynasty has abundant financial resources, if we issue a few more issues of treasury bonds, we can completely support 500,000 elite soldiers, and the methods of the past such van soldiers and miscellaneous soldiers must no longer be used. ”

500,000 elite soldiers? If it is according to the method of offering on the island of Liuqiu...... It's really about to issue government bonds.

"What do you think of the Lu family's forces?"

Liao Yingzhong's eyes widened, and he said, "Pingzhang means that the Lu family actually has the heart to disobey the power?!" ”

"Hehe, things haven't gotten to that point yet......"

Jia Pingzhang briefly explained what he knew.

It turned out that after all these years of operation, coupled with their business contacts with Liuqiu Island, the Lu family had become a super big family in the entire Jinghu War Zone.

The integration of the two powers of local military power and local administrative power allowed them to develop rapidly...... They had sent someone to take back their local administration, and they complied.

However, the officials sent must obey the Lu family's left and right from time to time, otherwise, no matter who they are, they will not be able to move an inch in that place!

Later, Jia Pingzhang personally wrote a letter to reprimand Lu Wenhuan, which made them relent.

But then, somehow, they began to develop in the Northwest Extension region, from which they got a lot of coal, oil, and cotton...... At first, no one noticed it, and it wasn't until more and more things were produced that the fine work sent by Jia Pingzhang found out about it.

It turned out that the new kerosene that was always emitting black smoke and much worse quality than Liuqiu kerosene was actually related to the land of extension!

After venturing deep into the Yanchang area, he found that there were many drilling derricks, and the people who mined and transported them were all shrewd and capable.

The protection there is very tight, and there are guards who stand on the side almost a few hundred meters away.

There was barbed wire everywhere...... The meticulous work of pretending to be a hawker can only be seen from a distance.

Although the carriages and river boats that transported could not see the logo of the Lu family, there were rumors in Xiangyang City that it was a cornucopia developed by the Lu family.

Where did Liao Yingzhong know these facts...... He was a little worried, "...... It's a place managed by Tatar robbers, and it's the Lu family'......"

Jia Pingzhang smiled and waved his hand and said, "Qunyu is suspicious...... The place there was barren and devoid of vegetation, and the Tatars had long since abandoned their management and gone north...... There are only some bandit activities. ”

"Where do the bandits have the means to extract oil?!"
