Before returning to Beijing, Wang Ningan was still hesitating, what to do next, it happened that Zhao Zongjing was going to fill the army, he was also worried about his father, and besides, Lingnan was a treasure land, and there were too many things that were urgently needed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Liao State has embarked on the road of agricultural commercialization, and the efficiency will be greatly improved, with milk powder and meat floss, they do not have to worry about military food, and they can launch long-distance attacks, which should not be underestimated.

If the Great Song Dynasty, more precisely Pingxian, changed slowly and fell behind the Liao State, it might be self-defeating and die in advance!

Wang Ning'an is under a lot of pressure, he urgently needs to go to Lingnan, and at least three problems must be solved, labor, food, and copper mines!

As long as these three are in place, he will be sure to completely get rid of the Liao State.

Compared with financial management, Wang Ningan attaches more importance to creating wealth. He made a military order to Zhao Zhen, and this trip must help the emperor get 5 million yuan in income, and by the way, he went to inspect the copper mine and find a way to solve the problem of money shortage.

Zhao Zhen hesitated again and again before agreeing to let Wang Ningan go to Lingnan.

Since it was a military allocation, Zhao Zongjing's unlucky guy could only follow the brigade of men and horses south by land, escorting a batch of military weapons to Lingnan.

As for Wang Ningan, he didn't have to work that hard, he was going to take the sea route south from Pingxian, taking a boat quickly and easily, and he could also take a look at Pingxian by the way.

"If you want to say that I, a parent official, I can't do my duty, I have been walking for many months, and I don't know what happened to one acre and three points of land? Is it artemisia grass everywhere, it's a mess, if that's the case, I won't have the face to go south. ”

Wang Ningan lay on Yang Xi's plump thighs and said lazily.

Yang Xi grabbed a grape and stuffed it into Wang Ning'an's mouth, since he went to Liaoguo, the little two have become more and more intimate, except for the last hurdle can not break through, Yang Xi is more and more conniving Wang Ning'an, spoiling him to the sky.

The carriage was still moving forward, and Xiao Nizi smiled: "I heard what Sister Su said, you are worried about being redundant, Pingxian is fine!" ”

"Really?"

"That's not it, Sister Su's younger brother sent a letter, saying that there are so many capable people in Pingxian County, and anyone can be responsible for a piece, so why worry about you!"

Wang Ningan blinked, his mouth agreed, but he was a little drumming in his heart, he was afraid that there were too many capable people and he would not listen to the command, which would be a bad thing.

With apprehension, I returned to Pingxian again.

As soon as he entered the territory of Pingxian County, Yang Xi was taken aback, and couldn't help but stand on the wheel, looking at it from afar, and couldn't help but say: "It's so spectacular!" ”

Wang Ningan climbed out of the carriage and looked over.

Sure enough, on both sides of the road, there were all flat fields, and there was no edge in sight.

Divided into blocks of the same size, in the middle of the fields, there are irrigation canals, and every other section, there are wells.

These projects were driven out by Liu Yi and the people, Hebei was plagued by disasters, the Yellow River flooded, and ditches were dug to irrigate and drain floods to prevent salinization.

The farmland is planted with sorghum and soybeans, don't look at Wang Ning'an's recipe for making wine to Liao, if you want to make good wine in a few moments, it's still far away!

Cangzhou's soju is still the first in the world, not only sold well in Song Liao, but also sold to Goryeo and Wa through the city, bringing rich returns, according to the estimation of the brewing chamber of commerce, there are at least 1 million guan of business opportunities per year.

As for soybeans, mainly oil extraction, only a few years of effort, soybean oil has been popular in the north of the Yellow River, although the soybean oil yield is not high, but the yield per mu is very high, enough to make up for the shortcomings, and with the development of the aquaculture industry, soybean cake has become the best feed.

The first batch of ponies at the horse farm have gradually matured and entered the army. More and more war horses were bred in the future, and the herdsmen in other places also learned from the experience of the Wild Wolf Valley, and estimated that in the next ten years, the entire north of the Yellow River will increase by 200,000 horses, and the annual forage alone will cost 5 million.

What a market!

Only driven by huge economic interests can we be willing to pay for it.

Pingxian is prosperous everywhere, agriculture is so, industry and commerce are even more so, enough to accommodate 12 horse-drawn carriages side by side through the road, the river is endless, there are raw materials to Pingxian, and there are goods from Pingxian.

The carriage shuttles, non-stop.

Not to mention anything else, every two miles, there are two cleaners who clean up the horse manure on the road, and at the end of the day, it can be piled up into a hill.

The degree of busyness is simply more than that of the capital.

Even at night, it is still busy, and there is a night shift in Pingxian!

Night shift!

Outrageous no!

Bianjing is also at most a nightlife, and it is only those special industries that work night shifts, but in Keping County, factories and workshops, they actually go on day and night.

Almost all of them are like industrious worker bees, unable to take a break.

Yang Xi saw these scenes, in addition to being dumbfounded, she was dumbfounded, and she was countless times more prosperous than when she left!

The city changes almost every day, and it's all thanks to my husband, who's amazing!

Yang Xi blushed and took the initiative to kiss Wang Ning'an, although it was the first time in such a long time, after the kiss, Xiao Nizi turned around and ran away like a frightened rabbit. In the carriage behind, Su Banniang snuggled up to her mother Cheng's side, constantly pointing and pointing, introducing everything in front of her.

Before going to Liao, Wang Ningan arranged personnel to take Cheng from Sichuan to the capital.

Originally, Cheng still wanted to witness the child's marriage, and he was very happy, but when he arrived in the capital, he realized that Cheng Zhicai was such a bastard, and the two families had already fallen out.

Cheng was ashamed and angry, almost fell ill, it happened that Su Banniang came back, the mother and daughter cried bitterly, Su Banniang traveled far away, and her heart was a lot more open-minded.

"Mother, let's just treat it as if there is no such thing, my younger brothers have been in the Six Arts Academy for so long, and they all miss your old man, let's go to the academy to see them."

Cheng sighed for a long time, what else can I do, this is fate!

The mother and daughter went all the way, and Cheng was also taken aback by the prosperity of Ping County, my God, the capital is lively enough, how can Ping County be more lively than the capital!

"I always heard the drama say that the thorn is matched with Cangzhou, and I thought that this place is not necessarily poor, mountains and bad waters, how do you know that it is a heavenly place! Dare to stab in Cangzhou, it's time to enjoy the blessings. ”

Cheng said in surprise, Su Banniang chuckled, "Mother, how can there be a place in this world where you can only enjoy happiness and not do things." Pingxian is more lively than the capital, because there are buying and selling here, and the common people not only consume goods, but also make their own goods and sell them to all over the world. Take the candles and soap in Pingxian County as an example, even the Liao State is using them. There are also timber, jewelry, winemaking, sugar extraction, whaling, shipbuilding, ordnance ...... Either of them can feed a lot of ordinary people. Pingxian is different from other places, there is no resource advantage, can only rely on the hands of labor, although it is not easy to make money, but every copper plate comes with peace of mind, and spends it justifiably. ”

I don't know what's going on, as long as Ping County is mentioned, Su Banniang is full of energy and gushing. is as keen as Cheng's, and she can also hear some clues, but her daughter finally came out of Cheng Zhicai's blow, and she, a mother, can't talk nonsense.

……

Finally, the carriage arrived in Ping County, and Wang Ningan returned to the county yamen after a long absence.

Wang Ningan walked in and found that Zeng Gong took the initiative to greet him.

"It turned out that Tangzun was back, and the lower officials had seen Tangzun."

"Wait a minute." Wang Ningan was stunned, "I said Brother Zeng, what are you kidding, what do you call me!" ”

Zeng Gong smiled, "My lord doesn't know yet, I'm now the county governor of Ping County, your subordinate." ”

Wang Ningan was taken aback, obediently, what is this for?

Zeng Gong didn't care about his surprise, and pulled Wang Ningan in, and he was even more startled when he got inside. In the middle sat Fan Zhongyan and Yan Shu, and next to them were Su Song, Han Wei, Wang Anguo, Liu Yi and so on.

Coupled with Wang Ning'an, where is the Pingxian County Ya, it is clearly the meeting of the Six Arts School.

"Fan Xianggong, Yan Xianggong, where did you get your kung fu and stop teaching? Why did you run to the county office? ”

Fan Zhongyan said with a calm face: "If you don't come, you can't do it, a hundred-year plan, an irresponsible magistrate, if we don't work hard, the world won't be in chaos!" ”

Yan Shu said with a smile: "Erlang, that's the case, Song Liao negotiated and succeeded, Pingxian is the window of Song Liao trade, these days, merchants from all over the country are running here." You lent out millions of dollars and all kinds of workshops were set up. Hearing about your tens of millions of orders, all the workshops are busy expanding their production capacity and recruiting workers everywhere. Pingxian has become a big construction site. Seeing that you won't come back, Zigu is old-fashioned, so we can only recommend him to be a county official and deal with some daily affairs. ”

Zeng Gong also said: "Tangzun, the lower officials are confused, there are many things, and they have no experience, so they can only invite a few seniors to come over and make ideas for me, my lord, you won't blame, right?" ”

"Blame? I wish I could do it! ”

Wang Ningan smiled, "I'll just say, if you want to have fun with the old, do something for the old, and let a few seniors give full play to their residual heat, that's the best." ”

Fan Zhongyan said with a calm face: "The field is located thirty miles north of Pingxian, and the straight road connecting Yanchang, Pingxian, and Cangzhou has already started, and the old man borrowed 50,000 troops from the prison camp. In addition, the population of Pingxian County is getting bigger and bigger, and the workshop is getting bigger and bigger, just one city is no longer useful, so we decided to find suitable land in the south of Pingxian County, fifty miles away, and build three more cities. ”

"Great, it coincides with me!"

Wang Ningan was overjoyed, Fan Zhongyan's arrangement was really good.

In fact, you really can't underestimate the ancients, Lao Fan's ability is undoubted, he can't push the Qingli New Deal, the fault is not at all him. It is too easy for a great talent who can govern the country to govern a small Ping County.

What's more, Wang Ningan had already laid the stall before, and they just had to follow the cat and the tiger.

Wang Ning'an discussed with the big guy for most of the night, and found that Pingxian County was ready to meet the trade with Liao, in terms of hardware, the scale of the city is enough, the field has also been established, the software, trade regulations, chambers of commerce, money, translation, accounting, all aspects, everything is ready.

"Erlang, there are only two problems now, one is the large-scale employment of labor, and the labor cost in Pingxian County is increasing rapidly, and many businessmen can't bear it. Then there is the fact that there are too many people, and the grain is rising rapidly, Caoyun can only maintain the capital, hundreds of thousands of mouths in Pingxian County, and there must be a stable supply of food. ”

Lao Fan mentioned these two problems, and everyone else nodded frequently.

In fact, both are talking about a trouble, that is, the increase in labor costs, which is the inevitable development of the economy, many countries have to face this hurdle, the most common way is to take the road of sweatshops, squeeze workers, even child labor, to complete the initial bloody accumulation...... Pingxian will not be an exception, but Wang Ningan has a better choice.

It seems that it is the right time to go to Lingnan!
