Chapter 248: Men Should Be Ruthless (Four More Votes)

got a new appointment, since Di Qing and below, no one is relaxed, except for the silly Zhao Zongjing, this little prince fell in love with seafood, eating lobster and crab every day, what bird's nest shark fin, not only eat it himself, but also pack it and send it home, saying that it is to replenish his daughter-in-law's body. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing his ruined behavior, Wang Ningan didn't bother to scold him.

Do you know that it is a 600-mile rush, how much effort it takes to run a trip, and the little thing you bring is worth the money of people and horses?

Tang Xuanzong doted on Yang Guifei, and when he rode the red dust concubine and smiled, no one knew that it was a lychee. has become a laughing stock for the ages, do you want to learn from Li Longji?

Wang Ning'an was stunned, and Zhao Zongjing suddenly woke up like a dream, "Yes, I should send something to the official family." ”

After saying that, this guy patted his ass and got out.

Wang Ningan looked at his back, shook his head with a wry smile, and didn't know if he was really stupid or fake, he actually knew that Zhao Zhen was stammered, and he looked like a pig and a tiger, a scheming, absolutely!

Wang Ningan is quite envious of Zhao Zongjing, and he also wants to learn from this, but in the eyes of a bunch of people, he is not a pig or a tiger, but a monkey from heaven to earth, an omnipotent panacea!

His Majesty entrusted Lingnan to Di Qing, Di Qing knew that he had no problem fighting in the war, but he encountered administrative, people's livelihood, and personnel ...... is completely black-eyed, and can only rely on Wang Ningan.

Yu Jing is a good hand at governing the place, but the situation in Lingnan is too complicated, and he can't come up with a way for a while, so he still has to ask Wang Ning'an's opinion.

"After the war, the livelihood of the people in Lingnan withered, the people were miserable, and in the few months of Nong Zhigao's rebellion, more than 300,000 people died and millions were displaced. In addition, in order to raise military expenses, Nong Zhigao looted hundreds of thousands of people and helped him pan for gold. It is enough to count more than 1 million people, and it must be properly resettled. What's worse is that one-third of the officials in various places were killed by Nong Zhigao, and the remaining two-thirds, among which there were many problematic officials. Looking at the meaning of the imperial court, it is necessary to clean it up thoroughly from beginning to end, and it is not good for us to risk promotion now. ”

Yu Jing concluded: "There are a lot of problems, but there is no manpower, and I am also a clever woman who is difficult to cook without rice, how about it, Erlang, can you get an idea?" ”

The big guy set his eyes on Wang Ningan, looking forward to him, as if he was the savior. Even Su Xun said: "Pingxian County is developing so well, can we learn from Pingxian County and develop Guangzhou." The old man is an official for one term, and he wants to benefit one party! ”

Wang Ningan smiled wryly, "I said Lao Quangong, you have to seek truth from facts in everything, in this state of Lingnan, if you want to learn from Ping County, there is no hope at all." ”

At the beginning, Pingxian County was a lot of people and little land, and it was located between Song and Liao, and there was also the convenience of the sea, so it was a waste of God-given opportunity not to develop industry and commerce.

But Guangzhou, except for the same by the sea, the others are not reliable, far away from the main market in the north, and the population is small. Although the Pearl River basin is very developed at present, it is still a lot worse than that of the north, in fact, Guangzhou has really become a trade center, and it is only after the southern crossing that the entire economic center of gravity has moved to the south.

Of course, at present, Guangzhou has a city shipping department, and the entrepot trade is very prosperous, but it is still too far from forcing the common people to give up their fields and run to work in factories.

"In my opinion, Lingnan should have the correct positioning, as long as the location is good, there is no worry about not being able to develop."

"How to position?" Di Qing said curiously.

"It's very simple, it's the raw material base of Pingxian County, and there is a transshipment center." Wang Ningan said with a smile: "Lingnan, especially the Pearl River Estuary, has fertile land, and rice can reach two or even three crops a year, and the local population is far less dense than in the north. In the Pearl River area, we will be able to provide millions of stones of grain in the development of Tuntian, and with this grain, the industry and commerce of Pingxian County will be able to completely shake off the shackles and develop rapidly. ”

"Besides, relying on sweet sorghum to extract sugar, it is still not cost-effective, I am ready to promote soybean planting in the north, after all, there are more and more horses, and more and more soybean oil is needed, and soybeans have advantages over sweet sorghum. In this way, we can move the sugar house to Lingnan and grow sugarcane in Lingnan. ”

Sugarcane sugar must be fresh, otherwise sugarcane will deteriorate, which will poison people.

Therefore, the sugar house must be located near the sugar cane field, the juice is squeezed out first, and then within half a day, it must be sent to the sugar house to be boiled and dried to make brown sugar and white sugar.

Obviously, squeezing sugar in Lingnan has too many advantages compared to the north. It's funny to say that Pingxian has only been developing for a few years, and it has begun to upgrade its industry, and the first industry to be eliminated is sugar extraction.

How profitable sugar is, Yu Jing and Su Xun both know that this alone is not a problem to feed millions of people.

Wang Ning'an, this kid is really reliable, but if he wants Tuntian, he is not red-mouthed and white-toothed, just talk about it.

"Erlang, do you think this Tuntian is for businessmen to run, or is it for the government to do it?"

"Not at all!"

Wang Ningan thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Right now, Lingnan has just ended the war, so many people have died, businessmen are all profit-seeking, the place is unstable, and they don't have the courage to invest." As for the government, Duke Wuxi also knows that the officials in Lingnan are rotten, and using them will only force the people to rebel and try to cause trouble. ”

Yu Jing said in a sullen voice: "I also know, but the lesser of two evils, no one can take care of it, and the people themselves can't do it well." ”

Wang Ningan smiled, "How can there be no one, Di Dashuai, are you reluctant to send some people?" ”

Di Qing was stunned, "My subordinates are all big-headed soldiers, how can anyone manage people?" ”

"Hahaha, Dashuai Di, you are arrogant, many of the soldiers are all heads, ten generals, can manage a hundred and ten people, and work hard together, how can you not manage a grange?"

Di Qing took a breath, "Is this done?" ”

"If you can't do it, ask the brothers! I wondered if some people should be willing to stay in Lingnan, and didn't Sun Wei arrest hundreds of people? ”

Di Qing was even more surprised, "Although there are many of them who have been wronged, some of them have indeed committed crimes!" ”

"That's the best, just fill the army in Lingnan, save yourself and bring it back."

Wang Ning laughed comfortably, feeling that his idea was simply amazing.

First of all, as he said, don't underestimate the management ability of the eight masters, even in later generations, universities are full of dogs, and many places still like to recruit veterans, who are well-disciplined and of high quality. These Western troops are not of good quality, but they are obedient, and as long as they give people a chance to get rich and progressive, their motivation is almost unlimited.

In this war, the Song army also had a lot of injured and disabled, even if they went home, they were all wasted, and the little pension of the imperial court was better than nothing, and almost every veteran was a bleak evening.

If they stay in Lingnan, they can at least get a grange of thousands of acres, and as long as they lead the people to settle the fields, they can extract 10% of the income from the sale every year.

It's not much, but as long as the wind and rain are smooth, it is enough to become a wealthy small landlord, and if you have a business mind, you can make a bigger fortune.

In addition to the wounded, there are also veterans in the army, who have fought for most of their lives, they have long been exhausted, they can't kill, and they have been displaced for many years, and they have cut off contact with their relatives at home, even if they can go home, they are injured, they have no money in their pockets, and they are not lonely and desolate, and they are slowly dying.

Being able to stay in Lingnan may be a turning point, as long as you have money, you can marry a daughter-in-law locally, and you can take your family over, what a good choice!

There is also a group of people, which Sun Wei has arrested before, and Di Qing himself has also arrested a group, these people are more or less disciplined, and they continue to stay in the army, and the chance of promotion is not great.

And this time, Wang Ningan and Di Qing came out and saved them, what about the next time? If you make the old mistake again, do you want to live anymore?

It is better to drive them out of the army, resettle them on the spot, and externally, claim to be recruited and distributed, but in fact, let them get some land and live a good life, which can not only fulfill their brotherhood, but also maintain the dignity of military discipline, which is really killing two birds with one stone.

Wang Ning'an is indeed a lotus flower, he blew Di Qing for more than an hour, which made Di Dashuai want to relieve his armor and return to the field.

"Erlang, you said so many benefits, so is there so much land in Lingnan?"

"Why not, this time it wasn't hundreds of thousands of people who died, there was definitely a lot of vacant wasteland, and Nong Zhigao looted so many gold mines, and they were all distributed to the soldiers as tenant farmers. Don't look at them working for others, just a little bitter at first, and when the sales of white sugar open, I can guarantee that everyone's life will get better and better! ”

Speaking of which, there were almost no more problems, and Di Qing nodded happily.

"Just do what Jiro says!"

Di Qing personally went to the army and explained to the big guys, and Wang Ningan also promised them that as long as they agreed to stay in Lingnan, he could contact Qianzhuang to provide loans, and he could also sign a sales contract to help everyone solve all difficulties.

Under their persuasion, more than 1,300 veterans, wounded soldiers, and soldiers who had borne the responsibility of their crimes agreed to stay in Lingnan. Yu Jing immediately set about dividing the land and distributing tenant farmers, and he was very busy.

Everyone was happy and ready to start a new life, but one person shook his head.

Han Ping dragged a stump leg and stopped Di Qing and Wang Ning'an.

"Dashuai, I, I want to follow the left and right, I don't want to farm."

Di Qing looked at him and was also very reluctant, "Han Ping, you are a good man on the battlefield, and I am reluctant for you to stay in Lingnan, but your leg is useless, I'm afraid you won't be able to fight." ”

Han Ping lowered his head, looked at his stump leg, and suddenly smiled honestly: "Dashuai, I asked the doctor, he said, my leg is still saved, it was broken by Sun Wei's people, there is no bone, and it is crooked." As long as you break it again and reconnect it, raise it for a hundred days, and you can jump and dance. ”

As he spoke, Han Ping suddenly dragged his stump and came to the side of a stump, he put his leg on the stump, grabbed a wooden stick, and smashed it down according to the wound.

Even Di Qing and Wang Ning'an, who were accustomed to seeing life and death, were so frightened that they closed their eyes.

Han Ping screamed in pain and fell to the ground, his forehead and sideburns were beads of sweat, and the pain made his face pale and almost fainted, but he still gritted his teeth and held on.

Di Qing was furious, and yelled at the people behind him: "Don't go and call the doctor yet." ”

Everyone was also stupid, sobered up, and immediately turned around and ran.

Di Qing walked quickly to the front, stretched out his hand to hug Han Ping, and roared angrily: "You, you just want to re-connect your bones, and you are also waiting for the doctor to come over, how can you come by yourself?" ”

Han Ping grinned and barely squeezed out a smile, "Dashuai, I didn't resist the temptation at the beginning, I had to sleep with that Zhu Xiu'er first, otherwise I would take her directly to see Dashuai, and there wouldn't be so many brothers involved, I deserve it!" Dashuai, my legs are good, can I still be your soldier? ”

Di Qing laughed angrily, "You just have both legs gone, and you are also my soldier!" ”
