Chapter 309: Military, Politics and People's Livelihood (20)
Nowadays, the Wenwang Xian Liquor in the Western Capital has completely replaced the wine of this continent, and the wine that used to be sold could not be sold at all, especially after drinking the Wen Wang Xian Liquor, it was just like drinking horse urine, as light as water, and boring.
In this way, Xidu Liquor is the exclusive operation, and there are countless money and grains every day, Wang Xu thought about this at the banquet just now, and he was very pleased, only in this way can he rest assured that he can boldly exempt all the people from taxes
The next morning, the sun rose in the east.
As soon as Wang Xu woke up, a maid came forward to wait, and when he was done with everything, after breakfast, Haolin, Zhang Meng, Qin Shuang, and Yanzheng came, this is the Nanjun Hero Building, and it is Haolin's territory.
"Lord, this is the account book of the Nanjun Hero Building, please take a look." Haolin held a pamphlet in his hand.
Wang Xu waved his hand with interest, the account book of the Hero Building is nothing more than how to win over Hu Ling's civil and military courtiers, what is there to see.
Seeing that Wang Xu was not interested, Haolin said again: "Our hero building has purchased a lot of properties in Nandu and various counties in Nanjun, such as restaurants, restaurants, inns, several courtyards, etc., not only can effectively inquire about all aspects of news, but also be self-sufficient, and now our income in January has reached five thousand taels of silver." ”
When Wang Xu heard this, he looked sideways slightly, he really didn't care much about Jinyiwei, but he had to admit that Haolin's Nanjun Jinyiwei was developing very well, and if you asked him to say this, almost every county has its own people, and there is also income.
But these are not what Wang Xu is most concerned about, Wang Xu praised Haolin for a few words, and then said in a deep voice: "I asked you to inquire about the residence of Fukangan." Have you inquired? ”
Haolin nodded and said: "It's been checked, and I live in the east of the city, Hulu Lane." ”
Wang Xu hummed, as long as he knew where Fukangan lived, he must go and see it when he has time, but before that. There is one more thing to do, which is to visit Huang Gongde and Ziyu.
Huang Gongde and Ziyu are the leaders of the Nanjun clan, if these two people can be recruited, then the next thing will be much easier, and judging from the past few days, Fukangan and these two people are relatively close, maybe in this way, even Fukangan has directly descended, if that is the case. That's it
"Report, King Wen asks to see you." A soldier quickly ran into Hu Ling's bedroom, Hu Ling was hugging left and right at the moment, busy and happy, and was suddenly interrupted, he naturally didn't like it, but as soon as he heard that Wang Xu was coming, he immediately pushed the two beauties beside him aside. Then he got up and got dressed, waved his hand at the soldier, and said, "Take King Wen to the palace." This king is coming. ”
When he was young, Hu Ling hurriedly walked into the main hall, but as soon as he entered the main hall, he saw Wang Xu walking in place with an anxious face, as if he had encountered some difficulties. This made Hu Ling puzzled, he was already anxious enough, but he didn't expect Wang Xu to make him even more anxious.
"Brother Wang, who are you?"
Seeing Hu Ling walking into the main hall, Wang Xu immediately walked up quickly: "Brother Hu." You're here. ”
The two came to the seat and sat down, and immediately a palace maid came to serve tea, but Wang Xu didn't drink a sip, he said directly: "Brother Hu, I have encountered a difficult matter, you must help me." ”
Seeing Wang Xu in a hurry, Hu Ling became more and more puzzled, he arranged a lot of spies around Wang Xu, and there were also many spies in various parts of the Western Capital, if something big happened here, then he would have known it a long time ago, but now that he has not received any information, then Wang Xu is a little inexplicable.
Hu Ling Zhengse said: "We said two days ago that righteousness is an alliance; If Brother Wang has anything, just say, if I can help, I will definitely help! Hu Ling's expression was firm.
Wang Xu hurriedly said: "Last night there was news from the western capital, saying that there was a rare plague in the extreme west of the snowy region, and more than 100,000 people died, and now a large number of people are dying every day. ”
"If Brother Hu can order all the saltpeter in Qingyuan County and Nanjun to be sold to me, I am grateful."
After listening to Wang Xu, Hu Ling breathed a sigh of relief, what was the matter at that time, it turned out that it was just such a trivial matter, just asking for a medicinal material, it was too simple, it was just a matter of Hu Ling's words.
However, Hu Ling is not a fool, since Wang Xu has asked for him, then he has to reclaim the land to reap the benefits, especially Wang Xu's Black West Land, there are countless high-grade horses, which really makes Hu Ling greedy.
Hu Ling said: "Brother Wang said that where is this, just a few medicinal materials, what else to talk about whether to sell or not, if Brother Wang has the heart, just give me 50,000 Hexi war horses; Brother Wang, please rest assured, within half a month, all the saltpeter from my two counties will be given to you! ”
Wang Xu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally got it done, as for the 50,000 war horses that Hu Ling said, he didn't pay attention to them at all, and now the war horses are really at Wang Xu's fingertips.
However, in order not to make Hu Ling strange, Wang Xu still had a bitter face, 1 as if he had suffered a big loss, and finally under Hu Ling's persuasion, Wang Xu agreed, 1 sent 50,000 war horses. However, Wang Xu also said that the Gobi Desert above Jinshan should be dug up, saying that there was saltpeter in it, Hu Ling thought about it and agreed.
After all the negotiations were settled, Hu Ling and Wang Xu were quite satisfied, and Wang Xu left and returned to the Hero Building
After the saltpeter matter was negotiated, Wang Xu appeared in front of Zhang Meng and the others with a big smile, looked at Qin Shuang and said, "I gave you the task, you have to complete it now!" ”
Qin Shuang also smiled and said, "Lord, what's the matter." ”
"Hu Ling's boy agreed, not only promised to give us saltpeter from Qingyuan County and Nanjun, but also allowed us to go to the Gobi Desert to excavate, the only condition is that we send him 50,000 high-quality Hexi war horses."
As soon as Wang Xu finished speaking, Qin Shuang and Zhang Meng closed their mouths happily, with saltpeter, they can make secret weapons, that power, I can't think of it, it can be taken by surprise, if it is manufactured in large quantities, it may be able to easily enter the imperial capital at that time.
But Yan Zheng's face was a little Nanka, and he said: "Lord, are you sure that saltpeter can be more precious than a war horse?" ”
Zhang Meng laughed and said: "Of course, sir, you don't know something, and you'll know later." ”
The four of them talked for a few words, and Wang Xu looked at Qin Shuangdao and said, "You should return to the Western Capital now, send an order to the military aircraft department, and send someone to dig saltpeter, this matter must be done quickly, so as not to regret Hu Ling's kid." ”
"Don't worry, the lord will return to the Western Capital immediately." Qin Shuang arched his hand. (To be continued......)
