Chapter 278: The Granary and the Money Vault
"It's 1.35 million acres!"
Wang Ningan smiled and said: "Father-in-law Su is a treasure land, I left 100,000 acres in the palace, how about it, are you interested in investing?" ”
Su Gui smiled and said casually: "Lord Wang's project, our family is interested, but how much benefit can this 100,000 mu of land have?" ”
Seeing Su Gui's suspicions, Wang Ningan said with a straight face: "Father-in-law, if it weren't for the fact that we have been good friends for many years, I really don't want to tell you." I'll divulge trade secrets www.biquge.info it! ”
Wang Ning'an looked mysterious, Su Gui suddenly became interested, listened attentively, and saw what great plans Wang Ningan had...... As the saying goes, the people take food as the sky, and the peasant uprisings in the past are all because they can't fill their stomachs, and the rulers of all dynasties are very concerned about food, especially in the Great Song Dynasty.
During the reign of Song Zhenzong, that is, Zhao Zhen's father, he borrowed 30,000 Hu Zhancheng rice varieties and distributed them to Jianghuai, Zhejiang and other places.
Before the Great Song Dynasty, the Yangtze River basin could only grow one season of late rice, after the introduction of Champa rice, there was one more season of early rice, becoming two crops a year, it is precisely because of this that the Yangtze River basin became the granary of the Great Song Dynasty, 7 million stone cao transported grain every year, supplying the operation of the capital and the north.
The origin of Champa rice is in the Champa country south of Cochin, also known as Champa!
As mentioned earlier, Cochin attacked Cham several times, won consecutive battles, and grabbed a lot of land, and Champa rice was naturally widely planted in Cochin.
Champa rice has a very cowish characteristic, from sowing to harvesting, as long as more than 50 days, with the climate of Jiaozhi, it can completely achieve three crops a year.
According to the calculation of the average yield of two stones of grain per mu of land, three crops are six stones, one million mu is 6 million stones, and after deducting local labor consumption, at least 3 million stones can be obtained.
After listening to Wang Ning'an's calculations, Su Gui felt his mouth dry, "Lord Wang, what are you going to do with so much food?" ”
"Hahaha, Father-in-law Su, isn't this simple, 3 million stones, almost half of Caoyun, can completely affect the trend of the grain market, by the way, tell my father-in-law, buy grain in Jiaozhi, only 200 Wen a stone!"
"Ahh
Su Gui's mouth opened wide in surprise, "So cheap? It's 400 Wen lower than Da Song? ”
"That's nature." Wang Ningan smiled: "Actually, it can't cost so much money. ”
"Why is that?"
"Because Jiaozhi produces copper ore, we take the copper of Jiaozhi and cast it into money, and in turn, we take the copper money to buy the grain of Jiaozhi...... Grandpa Su, do you understand? ”
Su Gui was stunned for a long time, then suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Understood, understood, isn't this an empty glove white wolf!" ”
……
Su Gui was ordered by Zhao Zhen to go south to Jiaozhi, just to actually see the potential of Jiaozhi, don't let Wang Ningan fool him, it really costs the people and money, and the gains outweigh the losses.
When he actually came, Su Gui knew that the barbarian land in the eyes of the gang in the capital turned out to be a treasure!
He didn't say a word, and immediately wrote what he saw and heard into a secret music and gave it to Zhao Zhen.
The clipper ship sent the secret fold to Guangzhou, and then 600 miles expedited and immediately sent to the capital.
Zhao Zhen got the report, it was the end of May, the weather was getting hotter and hotter, Zhao Zhen was barefoot, walking around the hall irritably, in recent years, floods and droughts have continued, and the regular positions in various places are not enough.
"Sage, Su Gui has sent a secret recital."
Zhao Zhen took it from Chen Lin's hand, opened it and looked at it, and immediately his eyes lit up, and His Majesty the Emperor became happier the more he looked at it.
"Wonderful, God bless the Great Song!"
Chen Lin said with a smile: "Sage, is it really so good? ”
"Hmm!"
Zhao Zhen nodded, "Chen Banban, you can also take a look." ”
Chen Lin leaned over, glanced at it, and immediately smiled: "Sage, Lord Wang has made a granary for the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
"And this granary is still endless." Zhao Zhen rubbed his hands with satisfaction, looking very excited.
Think about it not long ago, when Wang Ningan went south, he mentioned that he wanted to make another financial system, so that he could grasp more wealth and greater power.
At that time, Zhao Zhen was still a little hesitant, is it enough to have money? Then there is so much food, and the price of food fluctuates too much, doesn't it hurt the people?
Okay!
Silently, Wang Ningan solved the problem.
Use the copper of Jiaozhi to buy the grain of Jiaozhi, and he can think of it!
Zhao Zhen was extremely excited, Wang Ning'an, Wang Ning'an, I didn't waste my hard work, and I didn't protect you in vain.
"Spread my will to Lingnan, tell Di Qing to fully cooperate with Wang Ning'an, and be sure to put Jiaozhi in order, that is my treasury and granary, and there can be no mistakes!"
Chen Lin hurriedly nodded and went down to make arrangements.
The old eunuch went down, Zhao Zhen turned out Wang Ning'an's report again, looked at it carefully, he was more and more emotional, Wang Ning'an, this kid is really a genius, he can always be when others have no choice, Qifeng stands out, and the idea he comes up with is incredible, but it has the least cost, the biggest gain, and full of feasibility.
In the past, the ministers just thought about looking at the country and tossing their own people in the Great Song Dynasty, and every time they made people angry and complained, and they were all over the country. Looking at how good it is abroad, tossing Jiaozhi to death, and not many people have come out to oppose it, Zhao Zhen is becoming more and more inseparable from Wang Ningan.
When the affairs of Lingnan are disposed of, we must transfer this kid to the capital and put him by my side. First, you can help yourself solve your troubles at any time, and secondly, you can also watch a little, lest the little guy pierce the sky!
Thinking about it, the corners of Zhao Zhen's mouth unconsciously curved into an upward arc.
With the full support of the imperial court, Wang Ningan's movements in Jiaozhi were no longer restricted.
He pulled Chen and Li and negotiated more than a dozen times, but at first Chen was resolutely opposed, and they kept agitating the Great Song Dynasty to destroy the Li family.
Chen Xi first had a friendship with Wang Ning, and then complained about it, saying that the Li clan attacked the border of the Great Song Dynasty, and the crime was heinous, and not killing it was not enough to make the people angry.
Chen Xi even bluntly said that as long as the Li clan was destroyed, they were willing to ask for annexation, even if it became the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.
Wang Ning was unmoved, he just wrote down Chen Xi's conversation and asked people to send it to Li's.
This time, Li Shi was also restless, desperately betraying his sincerity to Wang Ning'an, and also released all the Han slaves he had bought over the years, and everyone gave compensation.
In front of the aggressive Chen family, the Li family took the lead in agreeing to Wang Ning'an's conditions, and then the puppet king Li Rizun also made a decree, saying that the war was caused by a misunderstanding, and the Li family was still a loyal minister.
Li Rizun's statement is equivalent to the last straw, which is equivalent to telling the Chen family, if you don't bow your head again, the Great Song Dynasty, the Li family, and Li Rizun will unite to clean him up.
Chen Xi endured the pain of losing his son and signed a peace agreement.
At this point, the civil strife in Cochin is finally over.
According to the division, north of the Red River is the territory of the Li family, and south of the Red River is the territory of the Chen family, compared to the slight loss of the Li family, and the Chen family has expanded some areas.
The Li royal family, which was originally the second largest force, was completely decayed, and they only retained Thang Long Province and the surrounding land, and as one of the punishments, the Li clan needed to send 50,000 people to assist Li Ri Zun in building a new naturalized city on the site of Thang Long Mansion.
However, the Li clan was not in a slump, in addition to controlling the largest city in Jiaozhi, he also owned 50% of the shares of the Red River Shipping, and could share hundreds of thousands of profits every year, enough for Li Rizun to maintain a medium-strength army.
The Great Song Dynasty, without a doubt, is the biggest winner of the entire peace negotiation, from the Naturalization City to the Haiphong Port, within 50 miles of the coast, is the so-called peacekeeping area, that is, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty!
Wang Ningan fulfilled his promise, and all the veterans who participated in the war were given a small piece of land.
Those sturdy men, looking at the flat and fertile land, have a light in their eyes!
Someone walked around the field, pointing, looking forward to the scene full of crops, and before I knew it, a long saliva was coming out of my mouth.
Even Liu Yu and Pan Su felt like they were in a dream!
Everyone sat together, and Huyanda was the first to speak, "I said, is this considered to expand the territory?" ”
His question immediately detonated everyone's emotions, that's right, not only did he expand his territory, but he also got millions of acres of land!
My God, before you know it, they are already standing on the same level as their ancestors!
It's like a dream!
The big guys are ecstatic, and there are better things waiting for them.
Wang Ningan smiled and said: "Your Majesty asked me to draw up a list of meritorious soldiers, and it has been sent, according to Your Majesty's intentions, I want to reward you." However, you also fought a battle, and the credit is still too small, at most it will be given to a nine-grade official, I guess you are not rare, or forget it, right? ”
Now everyone is frying, Lord Wang, don't play people like this.
Born in Jiangmen, with the shadow of his ancestors, he can get an official position, and it is not low!
But the question is, one is given by others, and the other is earned by oneself, can this be the same?
"Okay, I can help you ask for credit, but there is still a problem at the moment, we have got the land, and the copper and iron mines have not yet been found, what do you think?" Wang Ningan pushed the problem to them.
Liu Yu immediately said: "Fight, beat the Li clan down, and they will be obedient...... No, if you can fight, why do you have to negotiate peace? He scratched his hair in embarrassment and smiled innocently.
Since it is not possible to take it by force, you have to use your brains.
"I've got a way!"
Pan Su smiled and said, "My lord, we can lend Li Shi grain, and then let them exchange it for copper ore!" ”
Wang Ning'an laughed loudly, "Finally, you have the idea, you can discuss a strategy for me, and then Pan Su will go to the Li clan and negotiate with them." ”
"Yes!"
Pan Su smiled and agreed, the big guys got together, you and I discussed. They are more and more fond of the feeling of cross-toe, and it may not be as comfortable as the capital, but they have found the value of life.
Here, they can casually display their talents, turn their hands into clouds and cover their hands for rain, and dominate the life and death of a country, which feels so cool!
