Xixia is easy to wear, in the eyes of many people, he has completely surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty, there is no need to toss anymore, according to the habits of the kingdom, give some benefits, pay tribute every year, reward regularly, as long as he doesn't make trouble, just let him go!

Even Li Chengwei planned to do so, he felt that he had lost some face, so he endured it.

But where did he think of it, and the people didn't think so!

Bundle your hair and change clothes, that's just the beginning, and the show is still to come!

Wen Yanbo knew very well that he was not treated by Wang Ning'an, and even the people in the court, whether they were new or old, looked at him uncomfortable...... So we Lao Wen must show our ability to let you know that without me Wen Yanbo, there are some things you really can't do!

No, Wen Yanbo just gave a lecture in Xingqing Mansion after he tied his hair and changed clothes...... These people in Western Xia couldn't even recognize all the words, and they could only pinch their noses and come over to listen to the lectures, but fortunately, Wen Yanbo didn't destroy them, but talked about the business scriptures.

Wen Yanbo told everyone that the demand for woolen wool in the Great Song Dynasty continued to increase, and it was necessary to purchase a large amount of wool, and he encouraged everyone to raise sheep...... This is Wang Ning'an's consistent means, nothing remarkable, but Wen Yanbo pushed through the old and brought forth the new, he demarcated the pastoral areas of the party departments according to the population and the size of the pasture, and set the standard for how much wool each pastoral area produces, and if it is achieved, there will be rewards and dividends, and if it is not reached, it will be punished and deprived of the population.

Li Chengwei is stupid, surnamed Wen, you deceive people too much!

Although the population of Western Xia has decreased sharply, there are more than 100,000 people, if they all raise sheep, what will they eat? What to drink? And without the war horse, how can our warriors gallop?

"Wen Xianggong, breeding cattle, sheep and horses is a habit of thousands of years, and it is probably not appropriate to change it rashly, right? The foreign official thought that Tianxin was merciful and would definitely not watch the people of Western Xia starve to death. ”

"It's nature."

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "The old man has already thought about it for you, don't worry, I promise to fill everyone's stomachs, and I can get over as much as possible, so you don't have to worry about it." ”

Li Chengwei grinned bitterly, "Wen, Xianggong Wen, can you let the foreign officials know how you planned it?" ”

"Isn't it easy?"

Wen Yanbo grinned, "First of all, all your cultivated fields have been converted into pastures, and all the pastures are raised with sheep, and each family is only allowed to raise a maximum of 10 horses, and if they are exceeded, they must be handed over...... Of course, my Da Song will not ask for it in vain, and will compensate you, rest assured, rest assured! ”

It's strange to be relieved!

Li Chengwei was mad, "Xianggong Wen, if the foreign official's calculation is good, according to this reform, half of the people in my Western Xia will be hungry, Xingqing Mansion, and Hetao are all fertile fields, don't grow crops, and raise sheep instead, it's a pity!" ”

"No, absolutely not!" Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "The old man has already thought about it, you guys, you were poor in the past, you can't live, that's a brainless, Xixia is such a good place, rich in resources, as long as you use your brain a little, you can live, and you can live well...... Look, ......" said, Wen Yanbo took out a map, he pointed to a section of Qilian Mountain south of Ganzhou, and said to Li Chengwei: "This is an iron mine, the reserves are amazing, the old man went to see it in person when he opened the Western Regions, what a good place, my Song Dynasty now has a steam engine, it is easy to develop, and the surplus labor force on your side will go directly to mine here...... Transporting iron ore to Ganzhou, processing it into iron ingots, and then transporting it back to the Great Song Dynasty, you can rest assured that you will earn more than you have now, and your life will be prosperous. ”

Wen Yanbo patted his chest and said: "The old man is the master of your country, and he will never harm you, don't worry!" ”

……

"Brother, I'm getting more and more worried, this Wen Yanbo is simply terrible!"

Wang Ningze complained to Wang Ningan almost every few days.

Indeed, Wen Yanbo got this set in Western Xia, which is jaw-dropping, and it is also breathtaking, and there is nothing to say!

He learned the skills with Wang Ningan, but he was much more ruthless than Wang Ningan.

The old guy pushed and planted cotton in the Great Song Dynasty, and a bunch of things happened, and he ran to Xixia, and he actually pushed sheep again, and the methods were even more brutal...... Needless to say, there are definitely more problems. But people are smart, those who make trouble, those who do not cooperate, and those who come out of the surplus are all stuffed into the Ganzhou iron mine, to be coolies, count, or to create value for Wang Ningan, people give you a big gift package, what else can you say?

Wang Ningan also had to admire that Wen Yanbo did exactly what he wanted to do but didn't dare to do.

Looking at the Central Plains, coal reserves are okay, but iron ore is much less, especially high-grade iron ore, which is even rarer...... And the distance is far away, the pattern of coal and iron joint ventures cannot be formed, and it is really not to blame the ancients, it is too difficult to develop a modern industry, without a strong national will, without overall planning, relying on the power of businessmen alone, market regulation, absolutely unable to form a strong industrial system.

For example, the iron mine in Ganzhou, which became famous in later generations, was the Jingtieshan Iron Mine, and Wang Ningan sent people to inspect it after he took Ganzhou.

It is true that iron ore has been discovered, and the ore is of high taste and rich in iron, but the problem is that this iron ore is above 5,000 meters above sea level, and ordinary people are uncomfortable enough just to be in the mining area, and they don't want to work at all.

Wang Ningan mobilized more than 1,000 people to mine iron ore from the mountains and carry it down, but in less than half a year, half of them died of exhaustion or fell to their deaths.

There was no way, Wang Ningan could only suspend the project.

Wen Yanbo knows all about this, he even despises Wang Ning'an a little, what you want is iron, what do you care about human life, do you really want to be a saint?

Although Lao Wen thought so in his heart, he also knew that if he really got tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of miners from the Great Song Dynasty, he would be killed and would be scolded to death by Yushi when the time came.

As for getting prisoners of workers from the Western Regions, that didn't work either.

The Western Regions are also vast and sparsely populated, and there are still so many projects to be responsible for, there is no way but to put it on hold temporarily.

This time he took down Xixia, and Wen Yanbo immediately thought of Ganzhou Iron Mine.

With the steam engine running, the demand for steel in the Great Song Dynasty is strong, and the iron ore inside is no longer enough to support it, and everyone is thinking of a way, and this is the time for him to show his skills.

Calling coolies from Western Xia to develop the Ganzhou iron mine, and then transporting the iron ingots and steel back to the Great Song Dynasty, this is a great achievement, and even Wang Ningan did not dare to stop it.

Congratulations to Xianggong Wen, Wang Ningan not only didn't dare to stop him, but also wanted to help.

As the king of Xiliang, the entire Hexi Corridor belongs to Wang Ning'an, and it is still very clear how much family he has.

In addition to the excellent horse farms in the Hexi Corridor, the Silk Road since ancient times, there are also rich coal and iron resources, Ganzhou has Jingtieshan Iron Mine, and in Liangzhou, there is Jiutiaoling Coal Mine, which can produce high-quality anthracite.

Originally, the population of the Hexi Corridor was small, and the mountains and forests overlapped, so the common people could make fires and heat themselves with wood, and they did not need coal mines, but in the industrial age, the situation was different.

After Wang Ning'an took the Hexi Corridor, he used the captives to overhaul the road, and now Ganzhou and Liangzhou have been connected together, and the road from Liangzhou to Lanzhou and other places is still being promoted.

Now it seems that the project must be accelerated.

Iron ore was mined from Jingtie Mountain, and a steelmaking plant was set up in Liangzhou, and the smelted steel was transported back to the Great Song Dynasty for processing and use...... A complete coal and steel joint venture model has begun to emerge.

It's just that whether it is an iron mine or a coal mine, the conditions are very bad, and if you hire workers from the Great Song Dynasty, you have to provide them with protection and give them a good reward, and people will agree.

In the end, not only can you not make money, but you also have to lose money.

The burden of keeping the steel mills running had to fall on the slaves and prisoners of war.

Wang Ningan knows this thing, but he may not be able to do it so beautifully.

But Wen Yanbo is unrestrained and doesn't care about the consequences...... His old man is in the Great Song Dynasty, and he still regards the people as dogs, can he be polite in the face of Western Xia?

Wen Yanbo gave an order to the Western Xia, asking them to raise all sheep within a year, and at the same time draw out 200,000 Ding Zhuang as workers to enter the Ganzhou Iron Mine, there must be no mistake!

"Xianggong Wen, the foreign official begs you, leave a way for the people of Western Xia to live!"

Li Chengwei really knelt down, he cried bitterly, and cried: "In such a short time, where can it be easily changed?" What's more, 200,000 young people, there are not so many people in Xixia anymore, Wen Xianggong, you are making Xixia extinct! ”

Wen Yanbo didn't seem to care about Li Chengwei's crying, he said twice.

"Lord Jianguo, if you have been living on nomadic farming and your output is limited, it is inevitable that you will have a conflict with the Great Song Dynasty and a war will break out...... Even if you surrender for a short time, you will rebel in the future, and for thousands of years, it will be as good as that. There are many people in my Great Song Dynasty who advocate being tough on Western Xia, and some even want to wipe you all out...... He even proposed that in Xingqing Mansion and Hetao, sprinkle salt and abolish the land, so that there would be no more trouble for the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Wen Yanbo sighed: "The old man is sad and compassionate, I don't want you to burn all the jade, how many times have you quarreled with the people in the court, why don't you understand my hard work!" ”

This old text is enough!

The huge imperial court, there is really no one as ruthless as you! Even Wang Ningan didn't say that he was going to sprinkle salt in Xingqing Mansion, let's not frame a good person?

Of course, Li Chengwei didn't know the situation of the Great Song Dynasty, and was stunned by what Wen Yanbo said, and his throat was dumb.

At this time, Wen Yanbo slowly stood up, walked in front of Li Chengwei, and pulled him up.

"Lord Jianguo, if you want to open a little, although it is hard for the time being, but it can be exchanged for permanent peace, we both need each other, and become one, and then there will be no more wars, and future generations will remember your benefits."

As he spoke, Wen Yanbo took out another contract and said with a smile: "This is a dry share of the woolen mill, not much, and there are 300,000 dividends a year, and you are not young, it is time to leave some blessings for future generations...... Don't worry, the old man won't treat you badly. ”

In a trance, coming out of Wen Yanbo, Li Chengwei's whole person seemed to be hollowed out, his body swayed, and he couldn't stand steadily, and suddenly, there was a team of Ding Zhuang on the street, who was taken away in rows with ropes tied to his arms...... And the people in charge of the escort are actually a few young party nobles!

Burst!

A mouthful of old blood spurted out, and Li Chengwei suddenly fell to the ground, unconscious......
