Chapter 504: New Five Roads Summer
The Pu family in Quanzhou gave the Zhao family a hard knife at the end of the Song Dynasty, and now Pu Shougeng has not been born yet, so this account will be counted on their ancestors! The Zhang family and the Lu family are rich families, deeply rooted in the local area, although the Pu family is rich, there are few people in the clan who are officials, as the saying goes, the prefect of the family is the county order to destroy the door, Zhang Dian and Lu Huiqing clean up the Pu family easily.
Zhang Dian and Lu Huiqing glanced at each other, a trace of ruthlessness flashed in their eyes, the Pu family is not a big force that cannot be offended, and it will be extinguished if it is extinguished, and it is worth using their heads to exchange for Shen Daochang's happiness.
And when their own maritime trade team expands, it will definitely clash with the Pu family, rather than waiting for the future, it is better to kill the Pu family now, the ships, sailors and wealth accumulated over the years are very tempting.
"This is a trivial matter, the Pu family is also a businessman and a thief, and has done a lot of cases in Quanzhou and at sea over the years, if they can be eradicated, it is also for the people to eliminate harm, and it is an unshirkable responsibility." Lu Huiqing said righteously, and agreed without asking Shen Long the reason.
I appreciate your shameless style, obviously you are going for money, but you are so upright when you say it, you two already have the potential of black-hearted capitalists, this style can be carried forward!
The matter was finalized, Zhang Dian and Lu Huiqing discussed it after they went back, and then went to Wang Anshi's house to talk about it, and mentioned the Pu family slightly.
Originally, they thought that Wang Anshi might stop it after hearing the news, and they all thought of an excuse to persuade them, but who knew that Wang Anshi's face suddenly turned black after hearing this, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
After Zhang Dian and Lu Huiqing left, Wang Anshi sighed, and he remembered the record in the historical materials that the Pu family in Quanzhou had slaughtered the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and this kind of person should die.
Not to mention the character of Zhang Dian and Lu Huiqing, the ability of these two people is definitely not lacking, just looking at the means of power and strategy, they are much more powerful than Wang Anshi, and now the two families are working together to bully a Pu family who wants to have money but no corresponding political influence to protect them, it is not too easy.
It didn't take long for news to come from Quanzhou, the Pu family was found to be guilty of fornicating with pirates, hurting people's lives and a lot of other crimes, and the Pu family was taken down by the local government, and the local government and the court quickly completed the process, beheading several of the leaders to show the public, and the rest were either imprisoned or exiled.
The exiled ones have the problem of not adapting to the soil and water, and the escort to them is probably a figure like Dong Chao and Xue Ba, and the Pu family does not have a good brother like Lu Zhishen to save them; As for the ones locked up in prison, it's even easier to deal with, what kind of dirt bags and other techniques, those old officials are quite slippery.
Along with the patent fee, Shen Long was sent here with the tokens of several dignitaries of the Pu family, as well as the money they had accumulated, and Zhang Dian and Lu Huiqing also shared Shen Long's share of the property they copied from the Pu family.
Shen Long handed over to them what he had promised before, and several students left Kaifeng and went to Quanzhou and Fuzhou to teach the Zhang family and the Lu family skills such as shipbuilding, ship operation, and positioning.
After some time, Su Song and others copied the arquebus in the Great Song Dynasty, Shen Long still operated in general, the manufacture of the arquebus must be controlled by the imperial court, and this matter must not be faked to others, but the steel, wood, arquebus, and lead required for the production of arquebuses need to be purchased from outside, and these businesses can also be handed over to the wealthy families in the raw material production area to do.
In addition, the army needs more than just arquebuses, military uniforms must be there, right? You need cloth to make military uniforms, come, I have higher yield, better quality cotton seeds here, which are very suitable for planting in Susong or the northwest, don't you all have a lot of land under your name? As long as you plant these, you can make a fortune.
I also give away a full set of cotton spinning tools and techniques here, so even if a fool brings it back, he can make money, don't think about it? Baojiao Baohui, look at those generals in the northwest, look at those nobles in Kaifeng, and then look at the Lu family and the Zhang family, but they have all made a fortune, what are you still hesitating about? Don't miss the time!
The widespread cultivation of these high-yield crops will inevitably cause a large number of farmers to lose their land, and the farmers who have lost their land just fill the factories, and it doesn't matter if some people don't want to enter the factories and just want to farm, there is still a lot of land overseas waiting for you to reclaim.
At the instigation of Shen Long, Wang Anshi proposed a plan to recover Jiaozhi, and used the land of Jiaozhi as bait to raise a large amount of military spending, and Jiaozhi would soon be taken by the Great Song Dynasty, and then they could go to cultivate the land of Jiaozhi.
In this way, a few years have passed, during which Shen Long has been carefully caring for these seedlings of capitalism in the Great Song Dynasty, and has continuously cultivated talents in science and engineering.
Wang Anshi hadn't been able to comprehend what was hidden behind this, he only noticed that the financial revenue of the Great Song Dynasty was getting higher and higher, and the army was getting stronger and stronger after being equipped with arquebuses and primitive artillery, and the Great Song Dynasty seemed to be on the path he expected, but the means used were quite different from what he expected.
After changing the equipment for the core forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi finally couldn't help but set their sights on the northwest, and they began to change the clothes of the forbidden army in the northwest in batches, and began to prepare to collect the land of revival spirits.
After planting high-yield crops for many years, the grain in the northwest is now not only self-sufficient, but even accumulated, and the Great Song Dynasty only needs to transport a small amount of grain to meet the needs of the war.
The number of war horses has also increased a lot over the years, Wang Shao can continue to obtain horses from the Qiang people, and Shenlong School also has students who learn animal husbandry, and they have changed the horse farm of the Great Song Dynasty together with Wang Yan, and through more advanced technology, the number of war horses in the horse farm has been increasing, which is enough to organize a huge cavalry team at the site.
Under such a premise, in the sixth year of Xining, eight years earlier than in the original history, the Great Song Dynasty began its conquest of Western Xia, and a total of five people set off from different directions to approach Xingling Erzhou.
Wang Shao also ushered in his last battle in the northwest, he knew that when this battle was over, he would not have a chance to stay here regardless of whether he won or lost, and if he lost, he would definitely be demoted, and if he won, he would inevitably be called into Beijing to serve as an idle position, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to have the opportunity to lead the troops again in the future.
How can you lose? Wang Shao touched his cherished box, he had been carefully taking care of the drone sent by Shen Long all these years, and it could be used a few more times, and the generals of the Qu family, the farmer, and the Zhe family couldn't wait to get more land to provide raw materials for their factories.
Working together, this battle can definitely be won.
