Chapter 266: The beginning of the war
Lin Feng knew very well that the emaciated camel was bigger than the horse, and if he was not greedy enough, the snake swallowed the elephant a little carelessly, how much harm would it bring. ( .)
The Jin State is at the bottom of the top ten vassal states, it is weak, but it is very large compared to the Yan State, and the twenty-seven counties in the east of Jin are behemoths for the Yan State, if they are swallowed by whales, it is laborious and time-consuming.
Even though most of the officials in the Jin State have been assassinated by blood, and there are few major generals in the army, the Jin State also has hundreds of thousands of cavalry, including famous generals like Mu Xiaotian and Wang Lunkey.
Lin Feng didn't know much about these two people, but Mu Xiaotian was a famous general, and his fame surpassed that of Yan Guo Liu Xuanyuan, and Zhang Yu and others couldn't compare with it, speaking of which, it was really disturbing.
Wang Lunkey, Lin Feng doesn't know much, only knows that Wang Lunkey is one of the top ten strange women. The other party commanded hundreds of thousands of Praetorian Guards, defending Jinyang City, and with the strength of his hands alone, he exceeded Mu Xiaotian several times, not to mention commanding the most elite cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, it can be seen that the other party's status in the Jin Kingdom is far higher than that of Mu Xiaotian, and it should not be underestimated!
On the contrary, the cavalry of the Yan Kingdom are well-trained and have experienced major battles, but Zhang Yu and others are not as famous as Mu Xiaotian after all, Wang Lunkey, Swallow Jin, not to be taken lightly!
"Alas!" Lin Feng sighed lightly, full of emotion, and said, "If I don't get hurt and go to Longlin County, there is no need to worry too much at this time." ”
Lin Feng was secretly annoyed, and the injuries on his body were according to Li Hangju's instructions, and he still needed to recuperate for six or seven months. When he recovers completely, I'm afraid it will be October, almost close to the time when the queen and Xiao Linlang are about to give birth, during this time, although he will look forward to the arrival of the child in his heart, but the war in Longlin County is a hurdle that he can't let go of after all.
Xiao Linlang saw that Lin Feng was in the imperial city and his heart was on the front line, so he smiled and said: "Xianggong, you think too much, the war in Longlin County has its own front-line generals to consider, the implementation of the new policy between the DPRK and China, the relocation of the people, the end of the scientific expedition, the arrangement of officials, and the operation of iron mines, all of which must be solved in a short period of time, and these things are also very important." In particular, fighting a war requires the consumption of money and food, and it is not possible to ignore the need to ensure an adequate source of money and food. ”
"Yes, fighting a war consumes the most money and food, Xianggong, you should arrange it in advance and be prepared, there is nothing wrong with it.
Han Xuejian in his arms also kindly reminded.
"Situ and Chu Fuyan are in charge of the new policy, I will not interfere for the time being, and the relocation of the people and officials will be arranged, and Yu Zheming and Situ will also be responsible, but the iron mine operation and the source of money and grain have become the top priority. What are your best methods? Lin Feng asked, the operation of iron mines is related to the source of taxes, Lin Feng and Yu Zheming have discussed before, he plans to be state-owned, similar to salt wine, and handed over to the household department to operate.
However, with the development of time and the return of Taimu Mountain, when discussing with Lin Shuying in the territory of the Song Kingdom, Lin Feng saw that the Song Kingdom had almost all the businesses privately owned, and asked Lin Shuying the reason, and the other party replied concisely, without competition, there would be no vitality, and without vitality, there would be no motivation.
What's more, in this era, there are a lot of dirt and dirt, and if the official family does not have good legal constraints, it is better to open them all.
Doing things for yourself is always more responsible and motivated than doing things for others.
For this reason, Lin Shuying also gave him an example, for example, in the era of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Sang Hongyang proposed that the iron ore be nationalized, but later the situation was completely different from the original intention of Emperor Wu, and the treasury did benefit greatly in a short period of time, but it was easy to form collusion between officials and businessmen, and there was the Jiangnan salt tax case of the Qing Dynasty, these things made Lin Feng see the disadvantages of the iron ore being state-owned.
At the same time, he also saw that Lin Shuying was more talented in economics, and he sometimes even doubted that Lin Shuying would be an economist in his later years, or run a company or something?
Seeing that the Song Kingdom was open to commerce, all of them were handed over to private management, heavy taxes were levied on profiteering industries, and the treasury was still rich, and he was not worried about hiding dirt and dirt, Lin Feng began to doubt his thoughts.
As Lin Shuying once said, Yan State monopolized the salt and wine of the vassal states, and it stands to reason that it will get rich, but unfortunately, because the official business methods are different from those of merchants, and there is no channel for merchants, although some of the salt and wine are currently operated by merchants, but the harvest is not big, this is an undoubted fact!
"You say, is it okay to open all the salt and iron wine?" Lin Feng asked Xiao Linlang and Han Xuejian, the two of them have been dealing with the government for a long time, and they will definitely see the bottom by themselves, maybe not as professional as Situ and Yu Zheming, but they are not talented or virtuous.
"Xianggong, in this matter, it may be more prudent for you to ask Yu Zheming and Ji Qiong, there is a specialization in the art industry, Yu Zheming and the two are quite talented and capable in the economy, they will definitely give Xianggong a joint explanation, I and Linlang, even if we have the bottom, but we also do what we want, I have not investigated, I am afraid that it will affect Xianggong's decision-making.
Han Xuejian didn't give Lin Feng the answer he wanted, in her opinion, Lin Feng was leading the troops outside, and no one was taking care of the government, so she could be a virtuous helper and help Lin Feng take care of the government.
In front of her, Lin Feng returned, she would rather lie in Lin Feng's arms with peace of mind, and be a little woman who has no quarrel with the world, so as not to be called a chicken Si Chen.
"Yes, Xianggong, I am pregnant with the queen's sister, and I and the queen's sister will not participate in the affairs of the government. You're about to become a father, and the burden on your shoulders will get heavier and heavier. Xiao Linlang also smiled.
"It's really two lovely women, Xianggong is responsible for conquering the world, and you are responsible for the birds and people, and the flowers and branches!" kissed Han Xuejian and Xiao Linlang respectively, Lin Feng smiled and said: "You can raise the fetus with peace of mind, I will go to Yu Zheming and Ji Qiong to discuss, discuss." ”
The two giggled lightly, cooperated with Lin Feng's words, and made a sultry gesture, but urged Tong Yanyu to help Lin Feng leave.
Leaving Fengming Palace, Lin Feng sent An Heng to convene immediately, Situ, Chu Fuyan, Yu Zheming, and Ji Qiong to warm the pavilion.
Salt and iron wine, and even commercial development, Lin Feng decided to start following the Song Kingdom, if Yu Zheming and others did not object, the sooner it was implemented, the sooner it would be profitable.
When Lin Feng and Tong Yanyu came to the Warm Pavilion, Situ and the others had not yet arrived, Tong Yanyu asked Lin Feng: "Xianggong, do you want to rest first, sitting for a long time is not conducive to your recovery from your injuries." ”
"It's okay, Yu'er, you go back and rest, these days, the boat and car are tiring, you don't have a good rest, I discuss government affairs with several ministers, it may take a long time, you stay, it's useless!" Lin Feng said.
Looking at the beautiful woman in front of him, Lin Feng couldn't wait to correct her on the spot, but unfortunately, he just thought about it.
"Hmm!" When Tong Yanyu was about to leave, Lin Feng still kissed again, he couldn't fight with real knives and guns, and after being addicted to his mouth and hands, Lin Feng still didn't mind.
When Yu Zheming and others came to the warm pavilion, Tong Yanyu was already shy and coquettish, and fled in the wilderness, Lin Feng sat on the warm pavilion, holding two jade unicorn pattern lion head balls in his hands, playing with them in his hands.
Seeing Lin Feng and Yu Zheming, Ji Qiong inevitably asked about his injury, and after a brief chat, Lin Feng went straight to the point and said: "Four Aiqing, I summoned you here today to hear about the iron mine operation, of course, the salt wine business will also talk about it?" ”
"Your Majesty, aren't you going to take back the iron ore for monopoly?" Lin Feng's words, Yu Zheming understood that the iron ore monopoly, Lin Feng had the idea of nationalizing and letting the household operate many times, the opportunity was not suitable before, but the new policy was implemented in front of him, and the Yan Kingdom was stable and excessive, and the timing seemed to be very appropriate.
At present, the commercial atmosphere of Yan State is strong, and many merchants from the vassal states come to Yan State, including merchants from Song State and Chen State, all of whom are eyeing Yan State Iron Mine.
There are a lot of chaebols in the Song Kingdom, and they hope that Yan will continue to open up the iron ore monopoly, Chen Guo has a lot of iron ore, and the level of weapons is exquisite, and the merchants buy more iron ore, sell the ore to Chen Guoguan's family, build weapons and then sell them, and they have coveted the iron ore of Yan State for a long time.
What's more, the merchants of Yan State, who own iron ore themselves, have a strong commercial atmosphere in Yan State, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and when the Yan army is fighting everywhere, they do not want the state to monopolize iron ore.
No, taking back the iron ore monopoly in Yanguo, the opportunity for the court of Yanguo is very suitable, but it is contrary to the business atmosphere, even he Yu Zheming, and now he does not dare to consider the iron ore monopoly.
After all, at this time, the withdrawal of the iron ore monopoly will affect the whole body, and it may also destroy the current business atmosphere of Yan Kingdom.
Without waiting for Yu Zheming to speak, Lin Feng continued: "I went to Taimu Mountain, and I have seen a lot of knowledge in the Song Kingdom, and I have some ideas in my heart, hoping to follow the cats and tigers, learn the economic model of the Song Kingdom, and implement it in the Yan Kingdom." ”
"Ah, isn't the emperor going to open the iron ore monopoly?" Yu Zheming calmed down, Lin Feng's words, and the previous discussion was in the opposite direction, if according to the economic model of the Song Kingdom, isn't it a complete opening of the market, then, not to mention that the iron ore will not be taken back from the monopoly, and even the salt wine may be opened to the outside world and no longer monopolized.
This undoubtedly means that the court of the Yan Kingdom will only formulate laws to ensure a good business order and atmosphere, and simply collect taxes.
Yu Zheming didn't dare to imagine that at this moment, no longer mentioning the recovery of the iron ore monopoly would definitely lead to the economic peace and development of the Yan Kingdom, and the attraction to the merchants of the vassal states would be no less than that of the Song Kingdom.
Lin Feng didn't know the economy of Yan State for the time being, but Lin Shuying's words and the achievements of the Song Kingdom directly showed the importance of opening up the monopoly of salt and iron wine.
He believes that Lin Shuying will not deceive himself, and he has no chance to deceive, after all, the facts of the Song State are in front of him, and there is no doubt: "It's not that I want to let go of the salt and iron monopoly, the form is compelling, it costs money and grain to swallow, at present, the treasury of Yan State fortunately still has surplus grain, but I must ensure that the treasury is sufficient in advance, not to mention, after swallowing Jin, the war is endless, there is no money, what to fight."
I plan that if you don't support the private sector of salt and iron wine for the time being, you can prepare with both hands, find two regional pilots, compare the two, and choose the best. ”
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the economic achievements of the Song State have attracted worldwide attention, and at present, the Song State has already opened the salt and iron monopoly, and the Yan State does not have to be cautious. Tobe Squire, Ji Qiong suggested.
