There are a lot of trees in this era, far from being comparable to modern times, and Wang Xu strongly supports logging.

"I'll order the Ministry of Industry to open up the woods."

"If you can't start work for a while, you learn the technology first, but as soon as you have the materials, you can make the paper."

After arranging the paper mill, Wang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, now he is busy with his feet not touching the ground, hitting the back of his head with his feet, and he doesn't even have time to rest.

According to the understanding, the steelmaking plant is about to stop production, and the materials are really unable to be improved, all of which require strong financial support, and Wang Xu is now lacking money!

...........

On the border of Bao'an County, the camp of the Northern Army.

It's already September, and it's getting cold with light rain and weather.

Just when Wang Xu implemented those policies, the northern army also added men and horses, Cai Wenzhuo was hemorrhagic this time, transferred 100,000 people back from the northern border, and added 200,000 'new soldiers', in fact, they are not even recruits, they are recruited people.

These men did not have any training, and after they were assembled, they immediately put on heavy armor, sharp spears, and co-construction.

Considering that this army might retreat in the face of an enemy battle, Cai Wenzhuo allocated these 200,000 people separately, and if they fought, it would not affect the overall situation.

Today's Northern Army battalion has 450,000 troops, of course, this unit cannot be compared with the previous one, and there may be some gaps in combat effectiveness.

Cai Wenzhuo added 300,000 people to the front line, and the rear was empty in his eyes, after Wang Xu got the news, he hesitated for a long time, he really wanted to gather troops to occupy Beijun now, but after thinking carefully, he still gave up.

Because he doesn't have many troops now, the 300,000 captives are still in training, and they are still undergoing ideological education, and their loyalty is not high. Unless the imperial capital is captured, the captives are still in danger of rebellion.

Maybe Cai Wenzhuo also saw this, so he dared to do this.

"My lord. In fact, Beijun is not so easy to capture, and the current land of Beijun has been governed by Cai Wenzhuo in an orderly manner, and it has been integrated for several years. All the cities have been repaired, especially the city gates, the county has two iron gates, if we don't have a secret weapon, I'm afraid it will be difficult to outwit, and if we attack, the enemy still has 100,000 elite garrisons, it is not so easy to capture. ”

"Furthermore, Cai Wenzhuo's North County is a large county with a large population. As soon as he is summoned, there are hundreds of thousands of people, as long as he has food, the supply of soldiers will be endless! ”

As soon as Huang Quan finished speaking, Wang Xu took a deep breath, it seemed that he was thinking too much, now is not the time to start a war with Cai Wenzhuo, it is better to destroy the imperial court first.

This incident should not affect the plan to occupy the imperial capital.

.........

There are two major events in the Western Capital now.

First, the strategy of Korean calligraphy and painting. Capture the Imperial Capital!

Second, make money!

The military on the front line is commanded by Sun Yu and Han Shushu, Wang Xu is very relieved, and after a cursory understanding. Wang Xu put it aside and handed over all his strength to the two of them.

Wang Xu devotes all his energy to the great cause of making money!

........

The Qian family is now the largest family in the Western Capital, although it used to exchange land for King Wen's immortal brewing, but after several years of development, the Qian family has thousands of hectares of fertile land. And not only in the Western Capital, but also in other counties, known as the largest family in the Western Capital, worthy of the name.

The Qian family has many talents, many young talents are serving as officials in the Western Capital, the largest one is already a waiter in the Ministry of Works, and there are other children of the concubine who also serve in various counties, but they are all minor officials, and the biggest is the county commander or something.

For the sake of the safety of the Western Capital, Wang Xu has issued a secret order, no matter how powerful the talents of the family are, they are not allowed to take charge of the army, and they are not allowed to be hired by the military department, especially the Hexi County and Guxi County that have been captured.

this day.

Wang Xu took Zhang Meng and led a team of Yulin troops to the front of the Qian family's mansion, this pair of Yulin troops was carefully selected by Zhang Meng, all of them were elite soldiers, mighty and tall, with a vicious face.

The Yulin Army was divided into two teams, a team of fifty people, a total of one hundred people, Wang Xu took Zhang Meng and his party into the gate of the Qian family.

Seeing so many officers and soldiers coming at once, and all of them were Yulin Army, the Qian family's family members were all frightened, and they all knelt on the ground to greet them, and at the same time, the two family members ran in to report to the head of the Qian family.

The head of the Qian family is named Qian Yuan, a descendant of the Qian family, thirty-five years old, who has just taken office as the head of the family.

At this time, in the lobby of the Qian family, several children of the Qian family and their families were discussing Wang Xu's establishment of a bank, and everyone was still discussing, not knowing whether to support it or not.

Suddenly, I heard that Jiading came to report that a team of Yulin troops suddenly visited, and the leader was the general Zhang Meng, not only that, but one of them was wearing a royal robe, and it was very likely that he was King Wen!

This shocked everyone in the Qian family, and everyone stammered.

"Don't panic, our Qian family has been guarding themselves for many years, abiding by discipline and law, don't be afraid of the government, I don't believe that King Wen dares to arrest people for no reason."

Qian Yuan stabilized his mood and said suddenly.

Hearing this, the children of the rest of the family also nodded with deep sympathy, they have been very restrained in the past few years, although they still have a lot of land in their hands, and they are often stared at by the government, but they feel that they are not wrong, these lands are bought by the Qian family with money.

It's not illegal to buy land with money, right?

Regarding this matter, the household department also said that there is no explicit provision that it is not allowed to buy land, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence.

Next, Qian Yuan walked out of the mansion with a group of family children to greet Wang Xu.

"See King Wen."

Wang Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be polite, this king is here today, there is no other meaning, I heard that the chef in the Qian Mansion is good, I am here to eat today." ”

Looking at everyone, Wang Xu smiled and said, "I don't know, is there a seat for this king." ”

Qian Yuan knew how to be polite, and after getting up with a group of children, he smiled and bowed his head, waved his hand, and said: "King Wen can come to my Qian family, my Qian family is full of brilliance, the banquet will be prepared immediately, King Wen invites." ”

Wang Xu took the lead and walked forward, Zhang Meng followed, and a hundred Yulin troops also followed, seemingly protecting Wang Xu's safety, but from the faces of each Yulin army, there was a cold killing intent, as if a war was about to start, this situation made the children of the Qian family feel cold on their backs, and they didn't know what Wang Xu meant.

Everyone is not stupid, how could Wang Xu just come to the Qian family for dinner, who is Wang Xu, that is King Wen, there is nothing in the palace, will you be hungry for the Qian family's food, that is obviously impossible.

Therefore, Wang Xu must have other purposes when he comes here, but everyone doesn't know it yet. (To be continued.) )
