The notes of the battle are like dark clouds in the sky, constantly rolling, even a person as dull as Su Shi can feel it.

This time to participate in the opening ceremony of the straight road, Su Shi had a feeling that the villagers of Bashu were even more enthusiastic about the war situation in the northwest than the imperial court.

Sending troops, sending food, and buying war bonds, his father-in-law Wang Fang even called on his disciples to join the army to serve the country and eliminate Western Xia.

It was difficult for Su Shi to understand why the conservative Bashu merchants cared so much about the war, and it happened that Zheng Hongtu, a big salt merchant, went north to Jingzhao Mansion and was bumped into by Da Su.

Su Shi took out the Yaochi elixir from Wang's family, poured Zheng Hongtu two catties of wine, and he said everything...... Regardless of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the wealth of Bashu surpassed that of Jiangnan, and could even be traced back to the pre-Qin Dynasty.

In the past, Bashu also had a difficult road, but it still couldn't stop the prosperity, where is the secret?

A lot of people can't figure it out.

There is grain in the south of the Yangtze River, there is also in Bashu, there is tea and silk in the south of the Yangtze River, there is also in Bashu, there is sea salt in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is well salt in Bashu...... Almost all major commodities, the two sides are evenly matched, so why since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, although Bashu is also improving, it is always inferior to Jiangnan?

This question bothered many intellectuals, until one day, more than a dozen students from Six Arts Business School gave the answer!

In a nutshell: the business center has shifted!

The Han and Tang dynasties took Guanzhong as the center of the imperial court and the Silk Road as the main trade route.

Bashu is the closest to Guanzhong, and it is also close to the Silk Road.

Therefore, it is logical that Bashu, as the largest commodity supply base, has a prosperous economy, which has brought the wealth and prosperity of Bashu, and has given birth to literary style and pride in the world.

But after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, two fatal things followed.

First, the southeast sea route has prospered, and overseas trade has become more and more, accounting for an increasing proportion.

The second is the rise of Western Xia, which isolated the Silk Road.

The trade routes by land were gone, and the trade routes by sea flourished.

Bashu has changed from a building near the water to a whip that is beyond the reach of the whip.

Doing business will be profitable, don't talk useless nonsense!

You are far away, the cost is expensive, the cost is high, you are not competitive!

This research report was published by the Royal Bank, and was regarded as a guideline by many officials in Bashu and introduced to his hometown, and Su Laoquan found a lot of supporting materials and gave it to Wang Fang, the old family.

After reading it thoroughly, the Great Confucian King Fang had to admit that the things in it were indeed insightful!

In this world, in addition to the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, moral articles, there is another set of career economic knowledge, Wang Fang composed ten articles in a row, and gave lectures in Zhongyan Academy, which caused a sensation in Bashu for a while.

Almost every big businessman knows this.

Overseas trade and land trade, each has its own advantages and disadvantages, it is not impossible to compete, the pass is the land passage to be opened, the Silk Road to be rebuilt!

The prosperity of Bashu is in one fell swoop!

Since ancient times, the Sichuan people have such a ruthless force, 50,000 Sichuan troops went north, and many people were holding the heart of death, wanting to fight a future for their hometown fathers!

The merchants of Bashu, from top to bottom, all tried their best to buy war bonds and contribute to the war!

……

"Alas, it's useless to be a scholar!" Da Su took out a golden pear out of nowhere, and lamented while gnawing on it.

"Brother-in-law, you said that I am learning martial arts now, is it still too late?"

Wang Ningan looked at Su Shi, who was getting wider and wider, and shook his head.

"Don't talk about practicing martial arts, if you can't control your mouth, maybe in another ten years, you will be like a drunkard, infected with thirst, and at that time, you won't be able to eat anything!"

"Really?" Su Shi's jaw dropped in shock.

"Am I going to lie to you?"

Su Shi blinked his eyes, as soon as he thought that he might not be able to eat good things, he was discouraged, absolutely the world was dark, there was no longer any life, it was not even interesting to live, it was too scary, and he needed to comfort his fragile heart...... He silently took out a larger golden pear, nibbled on his mouth full of juice, and slurred.

Su is a great talent!

It's actually a hopeless foodie!

Wang Ningan grabbed his hair angrily, and there was no way to take him at all.

grabbed a pen and paper and threw it to Da Su.

"Half a piece of talent love paper, you can write me a rebellious essay now."

"What inscription?" Dasu's mouth is full of pulp, and he is vague.

"Of course, it's a crusade against Western Xia! Didn't you say you're useless! Write this article well, take out a belly of fat, and write it, in a few hundred years, people may forget about me, the handsome, and read your article in the textbook, and at that time, maybe someone will remember the great achievement of recovering Western Xia on your head! ”

Wang Ningan was so angry that he scolded, isn't this the way of the world, those who built a 100,000-mile railway were accused every day, drawing 200,000 miles on the map, and they became far-sighted, and winning a protracted war was not clever, and writing the theory of national defense was a military god. Few people remember the famous general Mingxiang who played the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty, but they must remember the poet Taibai...... What is this called?

Oh my God, you are so partial to literati!

Heaven is unfair!

Wang Ningan sighed for a long time and was about to go to the office, when suddenly Su Shi came back with a stack of crumpled papers.

"Take it!"

Da Su threw the article to his brother-in-law, this time he didn't eat pears, replaced it with fried cakes, took a big bite, his cheeks bulged like a hamster, and he went to shoot the little giant, and he could be a stand-in for the golden chipmouse.

Wang Ningan really couldn't complain, but as soon as he read the article, he had to marvel!

They are all the same people, and they are all those thousands of words, some people write them dryly, and they taste the same as chewing wax, and some people write them out with a lot of wantonness, laughing and scolding, and they are magnificent......

Su Dacai's things are different, at least 100,000 male soldiers!

Seeing that Wang Ningan looked down and looked at it intently, Su Shi stuffed all the fried cakes into his mouth, wiped the oil on his hands at will, and said casually: "I have written two more, if you are not satisfied, take a look at these two articles." ”

He gave Wang Ningan two more articles.

Faced with the three articles, Wang Ningan was completely speechless.

No wonder God favors others, it's really incomparable!

"The text to Li Liangzuo is considered to be someone, there are so many tribes in Western Xia, so many ordinary people and herdsmen, they can't understand this. Starting today, you will write me ten promotional articles, which must be plain and concise, even if it is a sentence. Just follow 'Da Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng', 'The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand', and so on. ”

"Huh? Brother-in-law, you want to be the emperor! ”

was so frightened that the fried cakes in Da Su's hands fell.

"You can have a longer brain, this is for the Western Xia people, let them surrender to the Great Song Dynasty and raise troops against Li Liangzuo, understand?"

"Understood, understood, I'll go!"

……

Wang Ning'an's preparations for war have reached the final moment, and on Qingtang's side, he has to move a little faster.

"If you go back to your lordship, Zhu Lingling's department is ready to make a move, and after 5 days, it will be able to launch ...... It's just that when will the reinforcements from the imperial court arrive? Ye Liyu asked, bowing down.

Wang Shao smiled faintly, "Don't worry, the court will not treat loyal ministers badly, and there will be no shortage of rewards if you add officials to knighthoods." ”

The old fox was stunned for a moment, "That...... Reinforcements, he hopes that the imperial court can send more reinforcements! ”

Wang Shao's face sank suddenly!

"Yeli Yu beggar, you have told this official several times that Zhu Lingling's department will not survive, and he will return to the Great Song Dynasty, and my Great Song will kindly take him in, give him an official position, give him a reward, and return her land, so that he and his people can survive and reproduce. We're not asking for an old lady! Reinforcements, reinforcements! There are 100,000 of them, if they don't know how hard they work, just rely on the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to meet them, how many people do they need? ”

Wang Shao stared at Yeli Yuqi, and said with a sneer: "You have repeatedly asked the imperial court to send reinforcements, are you not at ease?" Could it be that Zhu Lingling pretended to take refuge and dug a trap, wanting me to jump in? What role did you play? ”

"Ahh

Ye Li Yuqi was asked so that his face turned red, and he was pitiful, he really didn't have bad intentions, if he did, it was just a little calculation. He has secretly married Zhu Lingling, and in the face of the strong Great Song Dynasty, he hopes that Zhu Lingling will preserve his strength, and when the time comes, the two of them will join forces, and they will not have to worry about being eaten and wiped clean by the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, it would be better if the Great Song Dynasty sent troops and fought to the death with the Iron Harrier, and both sides were defeated!

"Don't misunderstand, my lord, the old man thinks that Zhu Lingling is sincerely attached to him, and he wants to set an example by buying horse bones."

Wang Shao nodded reluctantly, "The imperial court will not sit idly by, this matter will be handed over to you, by the way, this official also brought a batch of ordnance, you can also take it away!" ”

Yeli Yuqi was kicked out of the mansion, and 100 pairs of armor were placed outside, as well as a large number of spears, and a black flag in the air, with gold thread embroidered on the edge, and a huge king character in the middle!

After standing under the banner for a long time, the old fox understood!

Yaya's!

I wanted a tiger, and I ended up giving a big flag to make a tiger skin!

You can do it!

Ye Liyu was full of beggars, but 100 pairs of white armor and so many riding spears were not a loss.

"Take them all with me."

The old fox looked up at the sky, Brother Zhu, you are going to lose a little more! ”

……

Zhu Linglingbu acted as scheduled, and he went into battle as lightly as possible, but after all, there were too many people, and in two days, he only came out 50 miles.

At this time, the Iron Harrier of Western Xia was dispatched.

Two thousand iron horsemen, plus five thousand light horsemen, followed.

Zhu Lingling arranged 8,000 guards, and in the first battle, he lost more than 2,000!

He could only desperately ask for help from the Great Song Dynasty, and finally, on the third day, a cavalry appeared, and the black banner was particularly eye-catching in the yellow sand.

A platoon of soldiers, their cuirass glowing, blinding.

There were layers of people behind, and I don't know how many people and horses, they walked neatly and attacked quickly. It just so happened that a pair of iron harriers were about to outflank Zhu Lingling and them, and they met the Song army in a narrow way.

The iron harrier who ran at the front, saw the black flag and bright armor, and suddenly frightened the soul, it was the Wang Jiajun, it was the wall-type iron horse!

The iron harrier's heart contracted violently. As if he was pinched in his hands, he was really scared, scared to the bone marrow! He desperately grabbed the war horse and wanted to stop, but his previous war horse had fallen into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, which was a war horse just obtained from the Western Regions, and it had not yet been run-in.

The horse's front hooves were raised high, and the iron harrier fell under the horse, but the follow-up war horse couldn't be contained, and one hoof came down, just breaking his throat, and the blood was gushing out as if he didn't want money, and the iron harrier was dead, with fear in his eyes! He was a prisoner who was released early, and if he was a little late, his life would be gone......

Good boy!

It's a flag!

It can scare people to death!

Yeli Yuqi became more and more disdainful of this rebuilt iron harrier.

"Follow me, rush!"
