Wang Ningan spent a day walking around Pingxian, and when he came back, he dreamed and smiled. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The situation in Pingxian is much better than he imagined, first of all, this time the Song and Liao discussions are different from the past, there is not enough economic entanglement, the two sides are like angry children, conflicts will break out at any time, the nobles of the Liao State are brutal by nature, and the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty are the stones of the pit of the Mao, and it is not surprising that they do not bow their heads easily, and the conflicts continue.

But this time, there are tens of millions of large trade orders, and people on both sides have common characteristics, no one has a grudge against money, and they will be extremely restrained in terms of economic interests.

After the security problem was solved, Cangzhou was the middle point of the Bohai Bay between Song and Liao, and it was convenient by sea and land, a bit similar to Shanghai, which opened up for trade, or Shenzhen, which jumped up, and the conditions were similar, which can be said to have taken advantage of the time and place.

Moreover, from the very beginning, Pingxian County has been positioned to serve businessmen, without red tape, without high-ranking officials, without countless extortions, and by ingenuity.

Pingxian is different from other cities, and the people here attach great importance to rules and regulations, not because of how high their quality is, but because there is no way.

If you think about it, you know that two or three years ago, they were a group of refugees who didn't know each other and forcibly pinched together. It turns out to protect their families, clans, villagers, and neighbors...... It's all gone, and if you want to survive, you can only rely on strict rules, such as a pot of gruel, if you drink one more spoonful, someone will go hungry.

Under the pressure of perversion, several characteristics of Pingxian people have been created, such as absolute discipline, respect for contracts, advocating numbers, a strong sense of time, diligence, and learning...... And these are the basic qualities of the labor force needed to develop industry.

Another indispensable point is the Six Arts Academy.

With the concept of cultivating practical talents, the Six Arts School regards Pingxian as a teaching aid in their hands, and several Zhishi ministers continue to use their ideals in Pingxian County, carry out various experiments, and promote them if they succeed, and stop them quickly if they are unsuccessful, under the guidance of the theory of practice, nothing is impossible.

In addition, the Six Arts School also provided Pingxian with ultra-high-quality labor and officials, taking arithmetic as an example, Pingxian's accounting talents, even if they arrived in the capital, did not fall behind at all, and they were professional and standardized, countless times better than the accounts inherited by the master and apprentice.

No matter how small officials in Pingxian County are, they are not recruited casually, but through strict assessments, they are selected in the Six Arts School, they are young, energetic, have novel minds, and have a strong ability to accept new things. The most important thing is that these little bunnies have not yet learned bureaucratic habits, and almost no one is corrupt and power......

All in all, Pingxian has taken advantage of the right time and place, just like an assembled chariot, waiting to be fueled and rumble forward.

"Wait, I'll get you some fuel!"

Wang Ning'an's fleet set off from Cangzhou, and after the whaling industry prospered, the Wang family's fleet became more and more, and now there are more than 200 ships, and there are more than 20,000 shipwrights and sailors alone, not counting the Liba on the dock.

This time, Wang Ning'an gathered 30 ships, carrying 100,000 stone of military rations alone, as well as 500 bed crossbows, 10,000 stone gunpowder, 20,000 pieces of leather armor made in the latest hurry, 30,000 pieces of swords and weapons, and countless other materials, and many more things, to be sent to Guangzhou in batches.

Fan Zhongyan, Yan Shu and others personally watched the loading and departure, and the old man witnessed the workers like ants, constantly passing through the gangplank and sending things onto the big ship, and he trembled with excitement.

Fan Zhongyan fought with Yuan Hao in the northwest, and he knew too well that war was a competition for human and financial resources, and it could still be used!

For example, the income of the Great Song Dynasty, judging from the books, is the best in all dynasties, but the currency in it is less than 30%, and more is in kind, such as grain, silk yarn, satin, silk cloth, and even bacon, roosters, pearls, etc., messy.

These things can't be used in combat.

You have a mace, I have a heavenly spirit cover!

It was Song Jun's helpless self-deprecation at that time, Fan Zhongyan remembered it, and his heart was like a knife. What good young men, tens of thousands, were pushed to the Jedi with heavy casualties.

Poor logistics and inferior equipment were very important reasons why the Great Song Dynasty suffered losses in the northwest.

Fan Zhongyan pushed for a strong army in the Qingli New Deal, which was based on this consideration.

It's just that he failed back then, but after he retired and became an ordinary person, this wish began to become a reality.

The above-mentioned materials took less than half a month for Pingxian County to be assembled and shipped away!

What is this concept?

When fighting in the northwest, it would take a month for Shaanxi Fourth Road to take out these things.

In other words, Pingxian is so efficient that it's dizzying!

The most outrageous thing is that after taking out these things, Pingxian still seems to be nothing, and all workshops are hungry and thirsty, waiting for orders.

Especially in the military workshop, as long as the raw materials are sufficient, within a month, you will be given 20,000 stone gunpowder and 1,000 bed crossbows, without blinking.

"Chaowen said, Xi can die! The old man has been an official all his life, running north and south, exhausting his efforts, in his twilight years, he finally found a way to enrich the country and strengthen the army, God treats Fan Mou well, but Fan Mou is too cruel! With such strength, as Wang Erlang said, within a few decades, the recovery of Yanyun is by no means empty talk. It's a pity that Fan Mou was already a dry bone in the grave at that time, and he couldn't see it with his own eyes. ”

Fan Zhongyan sent off the fleet with complicated feelings, the old master was as fearless as he was back then, he was more than old, and his heart was more than strong!

As long as he is there, no one can shake Pingxian and shake the Six Arts School!

It is precisely because of this that Wang Ningan dares to be bold, go to the sky and the earth, and do not have to be afraid of anything.

The fleet went south along the coastline, it was unfortunate that Yang Xi came out for the first time, and he was a little seasick, Wang Ningan had no choice but to be busy, take care of it, serve soup and send medicine, a full warm man.

Yang Xi was very thin-skinned, but he was also moved by Wang Ningan, the daily routine of these two people is to show affection everywhere, sprinkle a lot of sugar, and eat many people in the fleet with high blood sugar.

There is no way, as long as they encounter a stop ship for supplies, they will rush to the shore quickly, looking for the most prosperous Qinglou, and they don't care how much money they have, everywhere they go, they love and fear, love the money in their pockets, fear is that they are fierce and cruel, and they keep tossing, who can stand it!

In this way, the fleet finally reached the mouth of the Yangtze River, where they stopped for a while, and the team from the capital also arrived.

……

Zhao Zongjing saw Wang Ning'an, dropped his eyes in shock, and exclaimed, "Erlang, you have also been confiscated?" ”

Wang Ning'an was really speechless for this second goods.

"Seeing that there is no banner, Qin ordered Guangnan East and West Road to appease the king of the labor army!"

Zhao Zongjing took a sharp breath, "Obediently, you have been promoted again?" The pacification envoy is a captain all the way? ”

Wang Ningan glared at him, "Don't grow up, have you forgotten how Master Bao explained it at the beginning?" People are appeased by the strategy, and they are handsome! I'm this one, with a pipe hook in the front, official business in the back, and a labor army in the middle...... There are a lot of things, the grade has not gone up, to put it bluntly, he is a hard worker! ”

Wang Ningan complained, "I don't know what your ancestors think, if you have to make the official system so complicated, your head is big!" ”

Faced with Wang Ningan's complaints, Zhao Zongjing could only smile bitterly.

can also say that when I become the emperor, I will definitely change it, even if he has a big heart, it is not so big.

"Erlang, don't you often say, if you can't resist, just enjoy it! Anyway, you're all Qincha, how about it, get a brother! ”

This guy has learned a lot of Wang Ningan's words, especially even the acting skills of Biao and the scoundrel, and he looks like a hugging thigh, like a husky.

He had suffered a lot along the way, unlike going north, the weather was cooler, and the further south he went, the more stuffy it became, and he wore armor and rode a war horse, and his thighs were frayed out, and he walked like a toad.

Wang Ningan had no choice but to take Zhao Zongjing on the big boat, and then continue to go south.

It was almost September when they finally arrived in Guangzhou.

A few months ago, it was still the battlefield of fierce battles, and Nong Zhigao's army almost took Guangzhou at one point, and the scars of war still have not disappeared.

Take the river water, for example, it is still blood-red.

Zhao Zongjing sighed sincerely: "What a miserable fight!" ”

Wang Ningan couldn't help but want to beat him again, "Not only are you gone, but you also have bad eyes, don't you see, you're killing people over there!" ”

Only then did Zhao Zongjing notice that sure enough, there were many executioners wielding machetes on the shore and killing on a large scale.

The severed head was hung on the flagpole, and the headless corpse was thrown into the river, attracting many carnivorous fish to surround the corpse and devour it.

Seeing this scene, the big guys opened their mouths wide.

Wang Ning'an's fleet entered the port, but it did not affect the killing on the other side, and the executioners cut their arms one by one so that they could barely lift them, but there were still more people waiting to be executed.

When he settled down, Wang Ningan couldn't eat dinner, especially the order, telling everyone not to eat seafood. The news of his arrival spread quickly, and that night, just in time for Su Xun to come from Wuzhou to urge for military rations, he heard that Wang Ningan was coming, and hurried to the camp.

"Lord Wang, long time no see!"

Su Laoquan is dark, thin and messy compared to before, and he is ten years older, but he is full of spirit, and he can participate in leading the troops to fight, Su Xun really feels like a fish in water, and he is very comfortable.

"Lao Quangong, Ling Ai is not far away, come along, I want to see you!"

"Why is Banniang here?" Su Xun missed and complained again, "Lord Wang, I'll go see that girl." ”

The father and daughter are united, how can Wang Ningan stop it, but he is too curious.

"Old Quangong, can you tell me first, who killed over there in the port?"

When Su Laoquan heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, "Alas, it was all done by Sun Wei, he said that Nong Zhigao rebelled, and the crime was not punishable, and he killed thousands of prisoners, and he ......"

"And what?"

"Among them, there are hundreds of soldiers of the Western Army, and Sun Wei said that they violated military discipline and had their heads cut off."
