Chapter 76: Working Together
Yang Jiumei has lived for most of her life, after too many ups and downs, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, how many families have been prosperous for a while, and then returned to silence, and there are no lack of original troughs, and then they rose again...... In the end, it is useless how much wealth there is, no matter how much pomp and circumstance, the key is that excellent children and grandchildren can carry the family business.

Wang Liangjing seems to be wooden, but he is humble, tenacious, and successful in martial arts, and in time, he is expected to become a general. Of course, just being a general is not worth the Yang family's attention.
The problem is that Wang Liangjing has a baby son!
These days of living in Cangzhou, Yang Jiumei feels more and more that Wang Ningan is a demon!
The Wang family was able to come back to life, and the credit fell on Wang Ningan, and relying on various businesses, hundreds of farmers were enveloped, so that a group of people followed the Wang family with all their hearts.
With people, there is everything.
According to Yang Jiumei's estimate, given the Wang family a few years, they can afford at least three or five hundred people, and you must know that the current effect of folding the family is only one or two thousand!
The Yang family stayed in the capital, although it was infinitely prosperous, but the civil officials all over the world were staring at it, strictly guarding it, and managing it like a grandson, and the Yang family's troops were less than 300 people. The Wang family is rooted in Cangzhou, far away from the center of power, next to the Liao State, and like the Folding Family and the Seed Family, even if it develops the utility of thousands of people, it will not be a problem.
The strength is enough, and he has a relationship with Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng and others, plus the imperial pen given by the Son of Heaven, Jian is in the emperor's heart. It is impossible for the Wang family to be underdeveloped.
Yang Jiumei didn't care about Yaochi's business anymore, she didn't hesitate to teach the Yang family gun to Wang Liangjing, in order to get a piece of incense.
It's ridiculous to say, the Yang family actually wants to go to the Wang family, but the fact is that this is the case, the descendants don't give their strength, what do you want Yang Jiumei to do?
Although the old lady is still alive, the people of her generation are long gone, the relationship between the Yang family and the Zhen family has also faded, and Li Yuanhao is in chaos, the Zhen family has suffered heavy losses, and they are too busy to take care of themselves.
"Yang Huaiyu, this child, is really too arrogant, his nature is not bad, stay in Cangzhou, just like ordinary soldiers, eat and live together, hone well, the old body represents the Yang family first, thank you." Yang Jiumei said sincerely.
Wang Liangjing was not happy in his heart, Yang Huaiyu was looking for his son to compete, although Wang Ning'an's sword drawing technique won, but it was also very hanging, in case Yang Huaiyu injured his son, Wang Liangjing could abolish him!
The Wang family is in ruins, and there are thousands of things, and he doesn't have the heart to raise a son-in-law.
"It stands to reason that if you are an old man, the younger generation should not ......"
"Needless to say." Yang Jiumei smiled slightly, "I know your concerns, but the old body is sincere, and he can beat and scold Yang Huaiyu." In this way, I will return to Bianjing and call ten old soldiers over, all of whom have been fighting for half their lives, and let them help train the troops, what do you think? ”
Yang Jiumei made a condition, Wang Liangjing and Wang Ningan glanced at each other, and they both saw a strong desire in each other's eyes! Both of them were tempted.
The Wang family has money and people, but these two alone can't become a strong army. Including Wang Liangjing, he has never been on the battlefield and has limited combat experience. The confrontation of thousands of armies is completely different from ambushing a hundred and ten Liao soldiers. The Wang family army is still very fragile, if they just enter the battlefield, there will be a fiasco, and the efforts of the two of them may be in vain.
Although the Yang family is decaying, their old pawns have fought all their lives, and they have too much experience to learn, and if they get their skills, even if they can't beat the Liao soldiers, they can still save their lives, and they won't lose all at once.
Moreover, the Wang family is generally not good at riding and shooting, so it would be better to get a few veterans who are good at riding and shooting.
Wang Ning'an is the best at bargaining, and he said with a smile: "The Yang family is willing to help us train our troops, but we can't ask for it." I wonder if you can help us get a few dozen grooms? ”
"Groom? What do you want them to do? Yang Jiumei was puzzled.
"To tell you the truth, we built a horse farm in the Wild Wolf Valley, and after autumn, foals were born one after another, and this horse farm is also known to His Majesty."
"Your Majesty......" Yang Jiumei took a breath, it seemed that a few months ago, she heard from the noble lady in the capital that Her Majesty was going to move the horse government, but she was blocked back by Xia Xianggong, and she was only given dozens of mares to the family...... At that time, the generals in the capital were all regarded as jokes, how difficult is it to raise horses? Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it has suffered from the lack of horses, so many generals can't come up with a way, and the little-known little people actually say that they raise horses for the Great Song Dynasty, which is really ashamed!
Yang Jiumei didn't care, but knowing that Wang Ningan did it, she didn't dare to ignore it.
"How many do you have now?"
"There are six Northland stallions, less than four hundred mares, and more than two hundred of them are pregnant." Wang Ningan replied very simply, the results of horse breeding should be reported to the court regularly, and he couldn't hide it anyway, so he simply told Yang Jiumei.
"Northterma? More than 200 ponies? ”
Yang Jiumei was even more frightened, she had been in the capital for a long time, and she naturally knew the situation better than Wang Ning'an.
There are more than 200,000 military horses registered in the Great Song Dynasty, which are divided into 18 overseers and herdsmen, with an average of almost 10,000 horses per shepherd.
Looks like a lot, right? But in fact, there is too much water in it, first of all, the soldiers have vacancies, and the vacancies of military horses are not less than those of people, at least seven percent off.
Then you have to deduct the old, weak, sick and disabled, mules, donkeys...... That's right, that's how cheating a daddy! In the eyes of the shepherds, as long as all four legs are considered horses, they can cope with the past when they come up to check.
A supervisor can take out two or three thousand similar war horses, even if it is good, but they are also war horses, and the Song Dynasty is far inferior to the Liao State and Western Xia. The reason is very simple, the two countries regard the horse as the root of life, and all the resources are placed on the horse, and the Song Dynasty here, the officials are seriously greedy for ink, resulting in a shortage of forage, and lack of experience, and there are many sick horses. Another point is even worse, the population is multiplying, and the farmland is not enough, so many people reclaim the original pastures and collect rent.
Since farming is more profitable than grazing, the officials who oversee the herding have taken the lead in doing so, and the result is that the war horses have lost their place to run, and they have been confined to the stable, and they have become waste!
When Yang Jiumei learned that the horses in the Wild Wolf Valley were all breeds of good horses in the Northland, and they were constantly fed, and there was still a vast space for movement, and within three or five years, they would be able to have hundreds of good horses, she was completely stunned, except for a few overseers close to the border, such as the Daimyofu, Luozhou, Weizhou, and Xiangzhou, all the other overseers had to settle behind the Wild Wolf Valley Horse Farm.
No wonder the Wang family can get His Majesty's royal pen, they are really attentive!
Needless to say, just a horse farm can firmly grasp the emperor's heart.
The roots of the Wang family are deep enough, and the steps are steady enough! In contrast, the Yang family seems to be Xuanhe, but they don't have the slightest hand, which is really shameful.
Yang Jiumei saw the value of the Wild Wolf Valley Horse Farm, and she trembled, and her heart kept beating the drum.
Obediently, it's not to help the Wang family at all, but to help the Yang family!
In the future, if the Wild Wolf Valley Horse Farm succeeds, it will be a credit to the Yang family and add a sum to His Majesty's heart. For the Yang family, this opportunity is too important.
"Ning An, I'll send two, uh no, it's thirty or thirty cavalrymen, plus eighty horsemen to come over, you must use money to raise horses, every year the Yang family takes out 2,000 yuan to help you raise horses, and I will give another 1,000 yuan myself."
Yang Jiumei's enthusiasm moved Wang Liangjing, and Wang Ningan has always been the first in major matters. Yang Jiumei most likely wanted to meddle in the racecourse, asked for someone from the Yang family, and took the money from the Yang family, it will be difficult to say in the future, the brother still settles the account, Wang Ningan is not generous enough to share the root of his life with others.
He remained silent and said with a smile: "The old man is so polite, the younger generation is really flattered, but the future of the horse farm is uncertain, how can we let the Yang family take the risk with us." Wang Ningan said honestly: "In this way, I have two businesses here, which can be handed over to the old man, even if we are a joint stock, and the profits will be divided equally." ”
Two businesses, the first is publishing, Wang Ningan has already finalized "The Biography of Xi Shi", and there will be other books in the future, so let the Yang family help publish it.
The second is the wine business, Wang Ningan promised to hand over 100 jars of Yaochi elixir to the Yang family every year, and Yang Jiumei hurried back to Bianjing with a full load......
