Chapter 131: Shuangdu Alliance

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at Wei Jin one after another, thinking a lot.

Dongdu and Xijing cooperated, which seemed like a good idea.

Now that Yang Guangyuan is in Jiangdu, and he is cut off by Li Mi, Daxing and Luoyang help each other, which is indeed beneficial to both sides.

In this regard, many of the ministers of Daxing City have doubts, because now the large-scale components are rich and Luoyang is backward.

If Luoyang City wants to take advantage of Daxing City, sees that Daxing City is rich, and desperately wants to reap the benefits, then don't want such an alliance!

Wei Jin looked around, the expressions of the ministers of Daxing were all in view, and he sighed in his heart, knowing that his attitude last time had made many ministers of Daxing dissatisfied.

Moreover, Daxing City has surpassed Luoyang City economically, and it has won psychologically.

Wei Jin pondered for a moment and said: "Since it is the cooperation of the two capitals, I think that the brick road between the two capitals should be built as soon as possible." ”

Yang Yu and Wei Wensheng glanced at each other and nodded, if the traffic between the two capitals is not opened, the cooperation between the two capitals is estimated to become a joke.

"It seems that only the Disaster Relief Department has been building a brick road now, and the brick road from Tongguan to Hongnong has been built for fifty miles." Yan Juncheng said in a weird manner,

He has always been in a competitive relationship with Wei Jin, and he does not save face for Wei Jin by speaking.

Wei Jin's official residence is a product, and his face has already been practiced to the point of being invulnerable, and he doesn't look at Yan Juncheng, turned to Yang Yu and said:

"Luoyang is not unwilling to build roads, it is really inexperienced, but in order to show Luoyang's sincerity and speed up the construction of brick roads, Weichen suggested that the brick roads should be repaired from Luoyang to Daxing, so that both ends can start at the same time, and the construction period can be shortened by half!"

Yang Yu's eyes lit up, this idea is good, many long-term projects in later generations are to adopt this method, especially the Daxing tunnel, both ends of the construction at the same time, the construction period can be almost halved.

For Daxing and Luoyang, time is life, and the brick road will be built one day earlier, and the advantages of Daxing City and Luoyang will be combined one step earlier.

"What Master Wei said is very true." Yang Yu agreed.

However, Wei Jin's next words from Yang Yu made him depressed.

"Now that Luoyang's finances and taxes are tight, please also ask Daxing to pay for road repairs in advance."

Under the original agreement, Daxingcheng paid 50,000 yuan in monthly taxes to Luoyang for the construction of the road from Tongguan to Luoyang, and these taxes were supervised and used by the Disaster Relief Department.

It turned out that Luoyang was paying attention to this and wanted the dominance of the 50,000 guan.

The ministers did not express their position, and they all focused on Yang Yoo, because the Disaster Relief Department was presided over by Yang Yoo.

"Okay, this king is a guarantee, according to the previous rules, Luoyang will use the special funds for road construction in the second half of the year as collateral, and the Imperial Bank will pay 50,000 yuan to Luoyang every month." Yang Yu said helplessly, the brick road to Luoyang is too big for Daxing City.

Whether it is in a commercial or military sense, it cannot be underestimated, and it doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss now, not to mention that in Yang Yu's planning, Luoyang has long been regarded as a thing in the bag.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Wei Jin said with great joy.

The ministers also nodded, anyway, it was the Imperial Bank that paid for it, as long as they were not allowed to pay, everything was easy to say.

However, the strong financial resources of the Imperial Bank have made many ministers shine brightly.

"In addition, Luoyang needs a large number of armor and weapons, and please ask Daxing to support some of these." Wei Jin said with a slight blush.

The Luoyang fiasco was really a heavy loss, all the supplies and baggage were lost, and now the recruited soldiers did not have enough armor and weapons.

"Impossible!" The ministers were shocked.

Weapons are the most important weapons of the country, and the Liang division of Daxingcheng is about to go out, and it is already not enough in itself, how can it still support Luoyang.

"Now Daxing City is about to send 50,000 troops, which will cause the emptiness of Daxing City, for the stability of Daxing City, new government soldiers must be recruited, and there are no extra weapons at all." Qu Tutong said loudly, opposing Wei Jin's proposal.

The Yin Division has 50,000 troops and has taken away a considerable number of troops, and Daxing City must have the strength to suppress the Yin World Division, which is a method of checks and balances, and all the ministers know it.

Yang Yu also knew that having weapons in this era was the king, and it was impossible to give the weapons and armor of Daxing City to Luoyang.

Yang Yu spread his hands and said that he had no choice.

Wei Jin's eyes were gloomy, and he knew what was going on, so he didn't force it.

The entire court fell silent, and at this time, the Ministry of Works' squire Heihiro returned to the ranks, attracting everyone's attention.

"Weichen has a way to solve Wei Shangshu's difficulties."

As soon as Ping Honggui said this, everyone's eyes instantly focused on him.

The level of Daxing ministers is usually one grade lower than that of Luoyang, Luoyang is generally at the level of Shangshu, and Daxing is at the level of a waiter.

But among the servants in Daxing City, there are only two people who are the most nourishing, one is Yan Juncheng, the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the taxes of Daxing City surpass Luoyang, so that Yan Juncheng can live infinitely, and directly challenge Wei Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

The other is the Ministry of Works, the hot sale of four-wheeled carriages has made the Ministry of Works, which was poor and deserted in the past, become the most prosperous department in the entire Daxing City.

However, Taira was not satisfied with this, and the dignified Ministry of Industry of the empire turned into a carriage production factory, which is simply a big joke in the world.

On the one hand, the huge profits of the four-wheeled carriage made Ping Honggui unstoppable, and on the other hand, Ping Honggui was not satisfied with the current status quo.

For a long time, Ping Honggui did not have the opportunity to carry forward his advantages and restore the glory of the Daxing Ministry of Industry, but the arrival of Wei Jin gave him the opportunity.

"The Ministry of Daxing Industry used to be the largest arsenal production base in the empire, and if the scale of the arsenal is restored, Wechen is sure to produce 10,000 sets of armor and 100,000 arrows within a month."

"Seriously!"

Wei Jin was overjoyed, 10,000 sets of armor can equip 10,000 people, and 100,000 arrows are enough to fight a battle, which is simply a send-off in the snow for Luoyang, which lacks weapons.

"It's true!" Ping Honggui excitedly said that he had waited too long for this opportunity, and he had already hoarded too many skilled craftsmen when he made the four-wheeled carriage again.

With a slight change of venue, these skilled craftsmen are enough to become skilled workers, and 10,000 sets of armor is already considered a small amount.

"What do you think?" Yang Yu looked at the other ministers.

"Yes, but Luoyang must pay for the armor produced by the Ministry of Industry!" Yan Juncheng had already been on a par with Wei Jin and said bluntly.

The ministers nodded, agreeing with Yan Juncheng's point of view, if Luoyang took away a huge amount of material from Daxing without paying a little price, it would be impossible.

Yan Juncheng saw that everyone's own wishful thinking had been shattered, and nodded helplessly.

"Luoyang is willing to pay the remaining half of the half of the year in advance!" Yan Juncheng showed his hole cards.

Although Luoyang City has a profound heritage, it is impossible to come up with a million yuan of money at once.

For the sake of today's plan, only compromise can be exchanged for the support of Daxingcheng.

Yang Yu was overjoyed, according to the previous agreement, Luoyang withdrew one million yuan in advance, which means that the matter of the Luoyang branch of the Imperial Bank has been successful.

"However, Daxingcheng must bear the responsibility of treating the wounded." Wei Jin fought for the rights and interests of Luoyang.

This time Luoyang was defeated in Xingluocang, and the camp was full of injuries, if the injury could be thrown to Daxingcheng, Luoyang would be able to travel lightly and the pressure would be greatly reduced.

"Yes!" Yang Yu said magnanimously.

Daxingcheng has millions of displaced people, abundant human resources, and his own modern medical knowledge, so that the treatment of injuries and diseases is not a problem.

Subsequently, Wei Jin represented Luoyang and Yang Yu represented Daxingcheng, and a series of consensuses were reached.

For example, if there is a crisis in Daxing or Luoyang, the other party has the obligation to send troops to rescue.

The most insidious Yang Yu added the obligation of free trade.

This article was later hated by the ministers of Luoyang, but there was nothing to be done.

The next day, Wei Jin hurried back to Luoyang with the drafted agreement.

On the fourth day, Luoyang responded and agreed to the terms negotiated by Weijin.

The Shuangdu Alliance was officially established.
