It is important that Bianliang is a megacity with a population of one million, and that it is also an inland city. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info If you just rely on the power of cattle and horses, and carry it on your shoulders, no matter what, you can't supply so many mouths.

In order to meet the needs of the capital, the rulers of the Great Song Dynasty built four major canals, including the Bianhe River, the Cai River, the Wuzhang River, and the Jinshui River, which connected all directions, communicated with other natural water systems, and continuously transported the materials and resources needed by the capital to ensure the normal operation of the world's most prosperous city.

Among the four canals, the Bianhe River is the most important, which communicates with the Yangtze River and Huai River and transports grain and products from the southeast to Beijing, accounting for as much as half of all financial endowments. It can be said that the Bianhe River maintains the operation of the Great Song Empire, and if it is a little troublesome, it will affect the world, so every year the Great Song Dynasty has to spend a huge amount of money to govern the Bianhe River, which is a headache.

Only this time, Bianhe brought great news.

The boat loaded with 1 million catties of Yunnan copper sailed into the capital, Wang Ning'an and Cao Tong came to wait early, in addition to them, there were many officials and people, even the dignitaries of the court, the emperor's relatives and relatives, all came to see the excitement.

When the boat was parked and the gangplank was erected, there were sturdy people carrying baskets on their backs, getting off the boat, moving down pieces of copper ingots weighing dozens of pounds, and piling them on the dock in such a bright way.

Without much effort, the copper was piled up into a hill, and under the sunlight, it emitted a faint golden light, which made people's eyes red and hot.

Fortunately, Kaifeng Prefecture sent enough servants to maintain order, otherwise there would have been chaos.

Among the crowd watching the excitement, there were Pan Su, Shi Tao, and Hu Yanda, who stretched their necks, looked at the large copper ingots, their eyes lit up, and they laughed loudly.

It's worth it, it's worth it!

This copper alone proves that there is nothing wrong with investing in Lingnan!

They couldn't help but look at the others, especially Gao Shilin, with a smug smile on their faces, how is it, stupid, right? Reluctant to make a little money, but still want to get rich? Dream on!

Pan Su pulled the two people and deliberately walked in front of Gao Shilin triumphantly.

"Senior brother, I'm sorry, we're going to drink, how about it, are you going?"

Go, fuck you!

Gao Shilin is about to explode, he only has one thought left in his mind now, it is done, let them become again!

Originally, everyone thought that Lingnan was so far away and the climate was harsh, and if they wanted to develop results, it would take at least a few years. Who knew that Wang Ning'an opened his mouth wide, and he was scared away.

But in a blink of an eye, people got the copper to the capital!

It's okay now, even if you don't look at Zhao Zongjing, just for the sake of commercial interests, all parties have sharpened their heads, and they have to pounce.

Gao Shilin had already discovered that the Liu family, the Wang family, the Zhang family, the Cui family, the Liu family, the Li family, and the Yuan family, who were originally standing with him, were all loose at the moment, and their faces were full of salivation, looking at the pile of copper mountains, and a long saliva flowed. Some people even regret it, they really have a pair of eyes in vain, and they didn't even find the commercial value of Lingnan.

Patronizing and thinking about the matter of winning the heir, it is really a rat's eye, damn it, damn it!

The sage is in his prime, and it is too early to think about the new monarch now. Besides, no matter who becomes the emperor, he has to live, so how can he let go of such a good way to get money?

These people are all thinking about going to Wang Ning'an as soon as possible and have a good talk, the value of this Lord Wang is not just a shortcut to the south of Zhao Zongjing! His own strength should not be underestimated, and it is worth cooperating!

Seeing these people eager to try, Gao Shilin's heart was even more panicked.

……

A few days ago, they collectively visited Wang Ning'an, and they had the heart to welcome Zhao Zongjing, Gao Shilin was not worried at that time, after all, each family, both sides of the court, both sides of the bet, that is a normal thing.

But the problem is that now that the interests of Lingnan are shown, these people really have collusion with Wang Ningan's interests, and they are getting closer and closer, who dares to guarantee that they will not completely fall to Zhao Zongjing?

If the entire Jiangmen supports Zhao Zongjing, then the brother-in-law's great cause of seizing the heir will be in trouble.

Gao Shilin thought about it for a long time, turned his head, and went straight to the Runan Palace, he wanted to hurry up and report the news.

Compared with the disciples of the generals with different minds and calculations, an old man seems very simple and very happy, this is Zeng Gongliang, who has just been transferred to the capital and served as the third envoy.

This old man is not simple, he has been an official for nearly 30 years, and his political achievements are outstanding and quite prestigious. When he was in Qingli New Deal, he was also a resolute supporter.

It's just that Zeng Gongliang is different from others, he not only has a mouth, but also practical actions.

Zeng Gongliang once compiled the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts", and when it comes to this book, it can be called the military encyclopedia of the Great Song Dynasty.

A total of 40 volumes, divided into two parts, in the first volume, Zeng Gongliang keenly pointed out that in order to prevent the warlord pattern, the feudal towns are numerous, the Great Song Dynasty carried out a series of actions to collect power, but the result is overkill, so that the soldiers do not know the generals, the generals do not know the soldiers, resulting in the defeat of the battle, defeat and retreat.

He also advocated strict training, and advocated that soldiers should be hired according to their strengths.

In the next volume, he even included a variety of weapons and tactics, with illustrations, which are very exquisite and detailed.

There is a martial arts academy under the Six Arts School, among which the "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" was put in the first place by Wang Ning'an, and its importance even exceeded that of "Sun Tzu's Art of War".

Wang Ningan believes that although it is indispensable to have clever plans and strategizing, the real key to victory is strength! There are two specific ones, one is the quality of the soldiers, and the other is the quality of the weapons.

These two "General Essentials of the Martial Arts" are discussed in detail, and Wang Ningan once spared no expense to have 1,000 sets printed and distributed to every member of the martial arts academy, which was regarded as a guideline.

It's a shame to say that "Wujing General Essentials" has been out for six or seven years, but with the failure of the Qingli New Deal, among the civil officials, no one supports the promotion, and the military generals are even more coarse, and no one is willing to work hard to learn.

Wang Ningan became the first person to promote "Wujing General Essentials", although he met Zeng Gongliang for the first time, but the two have been friends for a long time, and it can be said that they are familiar at first sight.

Zeng Gongliang is different from those chic and elegant, unparalleled demeanor scholars, the old man looks ordinary and is very approachable. He is one of the few doers in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, and he led the people to control floods in his early years, and later studied the art of war, and his attainments are very profound.

Zeng Gongliang took Wang Ning'an's hand and laughed, "I heard what the drunkard said, I really didn't expect that the old man worked hard to write a book, and there were flowers in the wall and incense outside the wall, so that Lord Xiao Wang carried it forward." ”

Wang Ningan exaggerated: "Boss, you won't ask me for copyright fees, right?" ”

Zeng Gongliang was stunned for a moment, and said in a random voice: "How can you not want it?" ”

The old man pointed to the pile of copper mountains and said with a smile: "From now on, 10 million catties of copper per year, no less!" ”

Wang Ningan patted his chest and said with a smile: "What is this, the boss needs it, 30 million, 50 million a year, no problem." ”

Zeng Gongliang said with a straight face: "What does the old man want?" It's like being corrupt and bending the law, it's what the Great Song Dynasty needs, this money shortage is too annoying. ”

Zeng Gongliang was full of emotion, he took over as the third envoy, and coinage was also one of the tasks he was responsible for.

A few years ago, in order to deal with Li Yuanhao's rebellion, the imperial court issued a lot of iron coins, and at the beginning iron coins could maintain the same price as copper coins, but in recent years, iron coins have collapsed, and there is a serious shortage of copper coins on the market, and bartering has even appeared in some places, which is very inconvenient.

Yunnan copper came, it can be said that it was timely rain, and the old man's heart fell in his stomach.

He circled the copper mountain, turned around for a long time, and nodded frequently, these coppers have brass, and white copper, although the quality is different, and there are slightly more impurities, but there is no problem at all in making copper coins.

……

Zeng Gongliang was very satisfied, but there was one person who was mad, that is, Uncle Cao Tong.

He took advantage of Zeng Gongliang to look at the copper, pulled Wang Ning'an, and went to the vacant cabin, jumping like thunder.

"I said Erlang, let's be brothers, you can't pit me! Obviously, I sent someone to get it from Dali with a lot of effort, how did it become your credit? Of course, you can take the credit, but you can't hand over all this copper to the imperial court! So what do I do? ”

Wang Ningan bared his shiny white teeth, and said with a smile: "Uncle Guo, you are a little enlightened, your brother-in-law is not easy, what is it to contribute a little copper?" However, just 250,000 yuan, 1 million catties, for you, a drop in the bucket, a spoonful of the sea! ”

Cao Tong was so angry that he turned in circles, "I'm not talking about money, I'm talking about this!" Do you understand? ”

"Yes, you're not talking about money, you're talking about money!"

Cao Tong was so choked that he almost fell down.

Wang Ningan said helplessly: "I said Uncle Guo, when did I treat you badly in money?" ”

Cao Tong suddenly came to his senses, he jumped three feet high, and said excitedly: "Erlang, you kid tell me the truth, where are you going to make money from?" ”

"That's right!" Wang Ningan smiled: "My uncle, you listen to me slowly." ”

……

Wang Ningan really didn't plan to make money through copper mines, copper is an out-and-out strategic resource, it has always been controlled by the imperial court, casually meddling, and making a lot of profits, what does the imperial court think, what does the big boss Zhao Zhen think?

Besides, making money by smelting copper is really too little, and it is pitiful at all!

If you want to earn it, you have to earn what others can't do.

With the development of copper in Dali and Jiaozhi, the commercial goods to Lingnan must have increased exponentially, at this time, if you can master a fleet, sell the goods of the Great Song Dynasty to Jiaozhi and Dali, and then transport the native products back, and transport copper ingots by the way, how much profit is there?

And with so many businessmen going south, do they need security? Do you need financial services?

Maritime fleet, security company, ticket number money bank...... This is Wang Ningan's wishful thinking.

"Uncle Guo, let the Jiaozhi people dig copper, let the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty smelt copper, in the final analysis, they are all working for us and making money for us!"

Wang Ningan's fingers were cocked on the table, very rhythmic, "The profit of the manufacturing industry is only one-third at most, and the remaining two-thirds are the service industry!" We want to seize the commanding heights of the industry, and we can't be hard old hats! ”

Cao Tong woke up like a dream, "Erlang, you are powerful, but the problem is that the fleet and the money village have to invest a lot of money, right?" ”

"yes, that's why I'm going to collect the deposit." Wang Ningan said lightly, but Cao Yan's face collapsed instantly.

Okay!

You're so shameless!

Collect money from others, form a fleet bank, and turn around and make money from others!

Why are all the good things for you to occupy?

Haven't those people become stupid people who were sold by you and counted your money?

Wang Ningan smiled lightly, "What's the matter, Uncle Guo is distressed?" ”

"I'm afraid that when there is thunder, God will split you and affect me!" Cao Yan said angrily.
