Chapter 1051: Xiao Yu Comes Out
Thanks to the newly developed steamship, the matter of Bohai Sea spread to Youzhou at the fastest speed, and it was only seven days before and after, and after Chen Shunzhi got it, he didn't even dare to hesitate for a moment, and directly found Wang Ning'an.
"Lord Wang, I don't know if I should admire Xianggong Wen or despise him......" Chen Shunzhi was indeed speechless, Wen Yanbo's destructive power of this old guy is simply divine!
He presided over industrial development, made a bunch of robbers in Liangshan, he mixed with currency exchange, and the chaos in Yunzhou allowed him to accumulate wealth and make Suzhou tea...... Chen Shunzhidu felt that if he gave Lao Wen to the enemy country and let him toss, he might lose the country in a few years, maybe that would be the most correct use of Wen Xianggong!
This super killer weapon is better to stay away from Da Song.
Wang Ningan was not surprised, with Wen Kuanfu's virtue, in an agricultural society, he was still able to scavenge the land, put it in the industrial age, with taxes in his hands, finance, and a lot of tools, if he didn't make the heavens angry and resentful, it would be strange if he was thousands of miles away!
It was precisely because he saw through Wen Yanbo's temperament that Wang Ningan tried his best to block it, and definitely did not let the old guy take power, and now it seems that this step is right.
"Lao Chen, what do you think now? What should we do about Bohai? β
Chen Shunzhi hesitated for a while, "Lord Wang, I thought there were more important things to consider, and now I should figure out why something happened in the Bohai Sea first!" It is said that the embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed in an anthill, but no matter what, the Bohai Sea should not be that weak point! β
He said this at a level.
The Bohai State was supported by the Great Song Dynasty, and its status was similar to that of Khotan in the Western Regions.
In addition, Bohai is rich in products, and the Great Song Dynasty has invested a lot of energy before, and their accumulation is very strong.
This time, all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes fell on the Wa State, not the Bohai Sea!
Including Wang Ningan, they all thought that the accident only happened in the Wa Kingdom, but the safest Bohai Sea was the first to have a problem...... It's more important to figure out the mystery than to put out the fire, otherwise there will be more and more colonies, and you won't know what will happen......
"Lao Chen, what you said is very reasonable, immediately arrange personnel to go to Bohai to investigate, and ask Di Xianggong to call me a report."
"Yes!"
He was just about to go down when Xiao Yu suddenly jumped out.
"Dad, how about I go to Bohai to investigate?"
"You?" Wang Ningan had a calm face, "Don't join in the fun, children, it's not a fun thing!" β
Xiao Yu quit, "Dad, I'm in my twenties, not a child, besides, the eldest brother just sent a letter, saying that he won the battle!" I can't be left behind! β
"Wait, your eldest brother has a letter? How did I not know? Wang Ningan's old face was gloomy.
Xiao Yu blinked, laughed and didn't speak, just stuffed the letter to Wang Ning'an.
Wang Ningan took it, and as soon as he looked at it halfway, his eyes widened!
He really wanted to bring the dog tooth up in front of him and beat him up!
This unlucky kid is so worry-free, he actually got married!
It's nothing to marry Zhao Zongjing's daughter, but the problem is that he, the father, has not been notified...... Not to mention being present, is there a father in his eyes?
Xiao Yu hurriedly explained, "Dad, didn't the eldest brother say it, the matter is urgent, and His Majesty personally gave the marriage, and Prince Zhao also nodded, and my third uncle is over there, it's okay if you don't get old!" β
"Ridiculous!" Wang Ningan was furious, this little rabbit cub, could it be that in a few days, he would send another grandson to himself? It's better to be mentally prepared!
Wang Ningan was very angry, but he didn't have the slightest idea, he couldn't fly to the Western Regions!
"Hmph, sooner or later, I'll be by that rebel!"
Wang Ning'an gasped for a long time, and continued to look down, it turned out that Gouya'er had already fought with Seljuk's men and horses.
A few years ago, Wang Ning'an tried to unite Seljuk and stabilize the situation in the Western Regions, after all, the Khitan had lost Youzhou at that time, and from the overall point of view, the Great Song Dynasty and Seljuk were the two most powerful empires, and they could not easily conflict.
It's just that Wang Ning'an ignored one point, the empires established by nomads have always been castles on the beach, and they are not reliable at all. From strength to decay, it is all tied to one person, such as the mighty Mongol Empire, which collapsed after the peasants of Diaoyu City killed MΓΆngke.
The fate of the Seljuk Turks was similar.
Their emperor was called Ayerslan, and he was only in his forties, at the age of ambition and energy...... This emperor was keen on conquest and constantly expanding the territory of the empire, which can be called enterprising and promising.
It's just that no one could have imagined that such a great king would actually die!
The cause of his death was an assassination!
During a hunt, the Emperor was stabbed by a prisoner in the army and subsequently killed...... A great monarch who died so simply that he couldn't even find more descriptions.
Wang Ningan knows that the simpler the thing, the more difficult it is behind it!
His eyes fell on the word "assassination"!
"Is it Eagle Castle?"
He said to himself, maybe the old man in the mountain has this ability!
After a little silence, Wang Ningan realized that this was a godsend.
Limited to the level of transportation, the Great Song Dynasty was unable to mobilize hundreds of thousands of people for an expedition, and Wang Ningan once considered swallowing and encroaching on the sea little by little...... But if there is a civil strife in the Seljuks, only a small number of troops can be used to level this strong enemy, all the way to the Middle East, as a transit point for trade between the East and the West, the base camp of Arab merchants, there is a lot of oil, by no means a barren land full of yellow sand......
"Oh! I see! β
Wang Ningan looked at the letter again and immediately understood.
The eldest young master of the dog tooth is not sincere to him, but the fighter plane is difficult to find, the Seljuk Emperor is dead, the young crown prince Maliksha may not be able to stabilize the overall situation, and the Great Song Dynasty just took advantage of the weakness to enter.
The collision of two empires, even if it is opportunistic, will take a certain amount of time.
Dogtooth is in his twenties, and he is following the emperor again, when will he be able to find time to get married? You can't keep delaying other girls, right?
"Humph! What can he do if he writes it? Is a father such an unreasonable person? Wang Ningan complained.
Xiao Yu lowered his head and was silent, but he thought in his heart, you are!
There are so many people in our family, you are the most domineering!
Wang Ningan glanced at his son, and when he saw that he was stuffy and his eyes were rolling, he knew that he didn't think of anything good!
"You guys, none of them make me worry!" Wang Ningan snorted angrily: "Go, go, get out of here!" In two months, I want to see the report! β
This is promised!
Xiao Yu was overjoyed, and ran away.
He just ran out and almost collided with a guy head-on!
"Wen Xianggong! You okay? β
Lao Wen was good-tempered, he smiled and said: "Virtuous nephew, your qi cultivation kung fu needs to be practiced, don't care about big things, never be in a hurry, don't panic." How about it, go to my house, let your uncle teach you a few days, and ensure that you behave in a moderate, elegant and chic manner, much better than your father! β
"Shut up!"
Lao Wen wanted to go on, but found Wang Ningan standing at the door, his face stretched and glaring at him.
"Wen Kuanfu, what a good child fell into your hands, and he also learned badly! I can tell you, if you dare to beat my son's idea, we're not done! β
Lao Wen stretched out his hand and pointed at Wang Ning'an, and said disdainfully: "Your children, if you want to learn badly, it won't be my turn to be here, I have already been taught bad by you, if the two of us compare hearts, maybe who is darker!" β
Xiao Yu wanted to laugh but didn't dare, holding back the discomfort, Wang Ningan didn't know what else this old man could say, so he quickly waved his hand and told his son to get out, he dragged Wen Yanbo into the study, and after sitting down, he didn't even give him a cup of tea.
"I know what you're here for...... There is a mess in Bohai, how do you end up? β
"What is the old man, how does it end?" Wen Yanbo slapped the table angrily, "The surname is Wang, have you figured out the situation?" It is clear that someone is rebelling against the orders of the imperial court, attacking merchant ships and burning goods, what is the difference between this and rebellion! Wen Yanbo was stern, "I order you, as the prime minister, the important minister of finance and taxation of the four countries, to immediately transfer troops to quell the rebellion!" Destroy the nine clans of those people! β
"Wen Kuanfu!"
Wang Ningan was furious, "Now the situation is chaotic and unclear, and recklessly killing people will provoke a greater civil uprising, and the soldiers will be in trouble, and there will be no way to clean it up!" β
"That's your business, the old man only cares about the money, Your Majesty is fighting in the Western Regions, if the military supplies can't be supplied, you are the one to blame!" Lao Wen said with bad intentions, maybe he also felt a little excessive, and seeing Wang Ning'an's cannibalistic gaze, Wen Yanbo took the initiative to pull the words back, "That...... Erlang, I think you are too kind of a woman, this is a matter of cutting flesh and mending sores, tearing down the east wall and making up for the west wall! If you don't go to fight the Seljuks, or don't build roads...... I can remind you that in recent years, there has been no investment in collecting grain from Lingnan...... If you don't build roads for them, be careful of your rebellion? Wen Yanbo looked up to the sky and sighed, full of grievances, "It is said that the old man is ruthless, but can he succeed if he is not ruthless?" Instead of wronging the people of the Great Song Dynasty, it is better to wronged some outcasts of the Celestial Empire and barbarian Hu people, such a simple truth, you don't understand......"
Wen Yanbo kept talking, he found that Wang Ning'an's momentum was much weaker, and he turned to a contemplative attitude, and thought that he had persuaded him, so he continued to descend......
"Wait!" Wang Ningan suddenly stopped Lao Wen.
"Brother Kuanfu, who do you say is better than wronging?"
"Ah, I said...... Barbarians, Hulu, also, and the outcasts of the Celestial Empire...... Is there something wrong with that? Wen Yanbo didn't know what was wrong.
But Wang Ningan raised his head and had a guess...... He quickly regained his composure and self-confidence.
"Brother Kuanfu, what are your strategies for accumulating money now, stop for a while, and wait until the situation in the Bohai Sea is ascertained, and then it will not be too late to implement it."
"That's not going to happen!" Lao Wen retorted: "I have made a military order for Your Majesty, if the process is delayed, Your Majesty will find me to settle accounts, and the old man will not be guilty!" β
"You don't carry it, I don't carry it!" Wang Ningan said helplessly: "You can always rest now!" β
Wen Yanbo relaxed, "The old man has nothing to say, anyway, you are tall, you are on top, and the sky will not hit me if it falls!" β
Lao Wen left in a lively spirit, but Wang Ningan leaned back in his chair and kept chanting four words: The Celestial Empire abandons the people, the Celestial Empire abandons the people...... No wonder there is a mess!
