Ouyang Xiu really couldn't imagine that in his opinion, an extremely difficult matter would be solved so easily! It's unbelievable, it's like in a dream!

But that's just the way it is. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

A few people counted on their fingers: the summer grain harvest in June and July, the tax payment after the grain is completed, and the fastest batch of tax grain can be transported to the disaster area at the end of August, and as long as it lasts for about three months, it will be able to survive safely.

100,000 stone of grain, five buckets per person, if you save money, it is definitely enough for three months.

With a total of less than 800,000 refugees, can it be said that if you sell six more pianos and 60 bottles of perfume, you will be solved?

"Dream on!"

Wang Ningan interrupted the wishful thinking of several people, Cao Tong has a saying that is right, scarcity is expensive, believe it or not, if you sell pianos and perfumes again, you will guarantee that there will be no such price, and it will not take a lot of effort to transport food.

The most important thing is that these two things are hyped in the name of Zhao Zhen, in the name of disaster relief, which is called urgency and power, with the emperor's benevolence, there will not be much of a problem.

But again and again, again and again, by making a fortune, you are called a gentleman!

Zhao Zhen didn't care, the people below didn't peep at the king's mood and anger, and a little black hand was enough for Wang Ningan to drink a pot.

"I have written to Your Majesty that the whale baleen will be used as a strategic material for military use in the future, and it is not allowed to be used to make a piano, that is to say, there are only three dragon strings in the world, one of which is dedicated to Your Majesty, decorated with gold dragon and white jade, unique, as for ambergris, I am ready to use it exclusively for the queen mother, who still wants to get it, only ask the queen mother to reward, including our Wang family, are not allowed to use ambergris!"

With this statement, whether it was Yan Shu or Ouyang Xiu, even Yu Jing dropped his jaw in shock.

Ambergris and dragon strings, what a profit!

Wang Ningan said that if you give up, you will give up, and you will not drag the mud and water at all, this courage is amazing! Thinking about it a little more, everyone is a person full of political wisdom, and of course they can see Wang Ningan's deep meaning.

What is the most valuable, of course, is unique.

The Wang family hunts whales, others may not be able to keep up, it is not difficult to get a few whale baleen, and it is not difficult to make a dragon string harp! Once it is everywhere, the value of the gift to the emperor will be greatly reduced, and it will cause dissatisfaction if it is not done well.

But Wang Ning'an is so bad, he restricted the manufacture of dragon strings under the pretext of protecting military supplies.

Even if someone makes a piano in the future, it is illegal and cannot be taken on the table.

In this way, it is ensured that the value of the three dragon strings will only continue to soar and will never depreciate!

These three pianos, in addition to those dedicated to the emperor, the other two, one fell into the hands of the Liu family in Hedong, and the other fell into the hands of the Qian family in Hangzhou. These two are super wealthy families, some of them ask for money, and there are many talents, even if Emperor Zhao and Song are polite.

What people want is face, that is, force, grid!

If Wang Ningan sells the dragon string piano indiscriminately and causes the value to plummet, people will definitely be angry and think that Wang Ningan has been fooled. Since then, it has been no longer made, and these two have become the only two wealthy families who share the dragon string qin with the emperor! will only be grateful to Wang Ningan from the bottom of their hearts, they will not care about that bit of food, and even pay ten times more, they are willing.

As for ambergris, the same is true.

Don't look at Queen Cao's age, but after all, she is still the master of the harem, and she was born as a general, Wang Ningan gave such a big gift package, giving the queen enough face, in the future, Queen Cao, and the Cao family, can you not take care of Wang Ningan?

I was afraid to think about everything carefully, and gave up the low-hanging profits, but it made countless big people feel comfortable, and no amount of money could be exchanged!

Ouyang Xiu and Yan Shu looked at each other, and they both read the look of surprise in each other's eyes.

This ability to be a person and do things, even if they have been in the officialdom for decades, they may not be able to do it.

No wonder the Wang family has prospered like this in just one or two years, the road is getting wider and wider, and the more contacts are accumulated, the thicker and thicker they are.

Ask yourself, Ouyang Xiu has offended countless people for most of his life, and he is not as good as a child, he would rather not be ashamed!

In the past, he talked and laughed, gags, and didn't take Wang Ningan seriously, but it wasn't until this moment that Ouyang Xiu realized that this child really lacked something.

For better or worse, learn on your own.

Thinking of this, the drunkard rarely became serious, and his tone was full of respect, as if discussing with his peers.

"Erlang, what should you focus on in the next step of relief for the victims?"

Wang Ningan pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and everything will be fine just because they have distributed food and let the people spend these three months." ”

"Oh? Anything else? Yan Shu asked.

"That's right, although the imperial court sent Xia Zhu for disaster relief, it still put him in charge of the Liuta River, which shows that the imperial court still wants the Yellow River to return to its old ways, and several seniors have already analyzed it, this plan is not feasible, and it is reluctant, it will only cause endless troubles." Wang Ningan said earnestly: "We are powerless to reverse the decision of the imperial court, but we must also take precautions. ”

"How to prepare for a rainy day?" Several people spoke in unison.

"If you want to find jobs for the people, you can't expect to dig in the soil for food, so you can develop an industry around whaling, which is enough to settle hundreds of thousands of people, so that they can have a way to live, and they will not become homeless!"

I'm afraid that in the entire Great Song Dynasty, except for Wang Ningan, no one knows how to develop the industry, but it doesn't matter, a layer of window paper will be broken at one point.

First of all, you have to think about whaling, you have to have ships, you have to have weapons, you have to have crew sailors, this is the first batch of workers, the whales are brought back, the initial processing is carried out, the skin and flesh are divided, the fat is extracted, this is the second group of workers, and then the whale meat is processed and sold for long-distance trafficking, and another group of workers.

According to Su Shi's suggestion, whale bones can be made into many kinds of jewelry, such as bracelets, prayer beads, carvings, ornaments, and even used in furniture decoration, the profit will not be very high, and it will take a lot of effort. Purely in terms of profit, such an industry is called a sweatshop, and it is to be scolded.

But don't forget, most of the people in the current disaster are old, weak, women and children, and they have no education, what can they do?

Polishing whale bones, weaving Chinese knots, earning some hard-earned money, can fill your stomach, and you are satisfied.

In addition, whale baleen can be made into bowstrings, and the inner skin of the whale's jaw can also be boiled out of viscous fish glue, which is the material for making bows and crossbows and horse lances, which is just right to build an ordnance workshop.

This is Wang Ningan's selfishness, it stands to reason that the Wang family is not qualified to build weapons, and whatever they need, they have to buy from the imperial court. Not only is the price expensive, but there is no guarantee of the quality of the ordnance superintendent.

If the Wang family has the intention to become a hegemon, it is necessary to get the right to cast iron like the Fold family and the seed family, and be able to make weapons by themselves, but this kind of power is by no means easy, pay attention to the right time, place and people, the Fold family has risen since the end of the Tang Dynasty, and the history is stronger than that of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

They can make their own weapons, the civil officials have nothing to say, and the court can only acquiesce.

But why did the Wang family make their own weapons?

The Great Song Dynasty was unprecedented, in other words, the management was strict, up and down, the water was impenetrable, so many civil officials stared, you dare to fool around, it was purely tired and crooked.

But God is helping, hundreds of thousands of victims can't be resettled, Cangzhou is located on the border, it's whaling, it's a school, and it always needs someone to protect it!

At this time, with the manufacture of bows and crossbows as a breakthrough, no one can say anything, on the contrary, there is only support.

In other words, from then on, the Wang family was able to make weapons openly, and it was a big step away from the goal of the Earth Emperor!

Of course, the dirty mind must be hidden under the pretext of righteousness and brightness, even if it is Ouyang Xiu and Yan Shu, they can't let them see it.

All for the sake of the victims!

This is another loud slogan of Wang Ningan, for which he worked hard, went out early and returned late, and was very busy.

……

"Just knowing that playing some villain tricks can't solve the problem."

The Six Arts Academy pays attention to the application of the world, no, Ouyang Xiu took out an afternoon to let the students gather together to discuss how to relieve the victims.

The first to speak was Han Zongwu, his face was grim, and his voice was like a bell, "Natural disasters are continuous, and it is a traitor in the state, only to eliminate the traitorous party and refresh the rule of officials." Your Majesty respects heaven and cultivates virtue, the courtiers are loyal to their duties, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people are healthy. The natural wind and rain are smooth, the Haiyan River is clear, and the Quartet is attached, chasing Yao Shun to rule the world. Han Zongwu shook his head, and the more he talked, the happier he became, "Cultivate virtue and respect heaven, benevolence and love things, respect sages, and people-oriented." This is the right way, not a trick, with a little cleverness, even if it is a temporary profit, there will be endless troubles, my generation of scholars should go straight on the right path, frank and open, I don't know what the mountain chief and the gentlemen think? ”

Although he didn't name him, he pointed to Wang Ning'an every sentence, who could not hear it, including Han Wei, he was not angry, he really wanted to go up and beat him, what are you doing when you always offend Wang Ning'an, don't you see, whale perfume, such a big piece of fat has fallen into the hands of the Cao family, and our Han family has not eaten it at all!

Han Wei was angry, but he had to admit that his nephew's high argument stood on a rational word, and it was really difficult to refute it, anyway, he couldn't think of a countermeasure, so he could only get angry.

Fortunately, there is no shortage of masters in the Six Arts Academy, and as Wang Ningan's number one fan, Dasu was the first to jump.

"Senior Brother Han, what you said is not worth refuting at all!"

Han Zongwu glared at him and roared, "Why? ”

"Isn't that obvious?" Not to be outdone, Su Shi said: "You said that it is enough to respect heaven and cultivate virtue, be benevolent and love the people." So why did the Yellow River burst? As you have said a long time ago, it is because of the siltation of sediment and the thousand-year-old way that it has long been useless. Senior Brother Han, do you think that if you worship the heavens and pray for blessings, God will dig up the sediment? If you cherish the people's power, you can keep the river from flooding? ”

After two questions in a row, Han Zongwu was choked, but Su Shi did not let him go, and continued: "Mr. Wang said that knowledge and action are united, and the mountain chief advocates the application of the world, and what he opposes is your kind of empty talk. ”

"You!" Han Zongwu's face turned red with anger, and he just wanted to refute, but he heard the sound of horses' hooves, Wang Ningan was discouraged, carrying a large wooden box in his hand, panting among the teachers and students.

After unfolding it, he took out a pale yellow brick-shaped object from it and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a gift I brought to everyone, one for each person, come back if you use it well!" ”
