The old fox still remembered that Wang Xuan said that these two places can be north and east, but he didn't say much about the two places, but in the old fox's opinion, this undoubtedly represents the particularity of the two places, and it just so happened that Wang Xuan 'forgot', so he couldn't help but try to see if he could take advantage.

Now that Wang Xuan emphasized this, Wang Ren immediately understood the special nature of these two counties, so he couldn't help but ask curiously: "These two counties are still separated from the Zhendong Hou Kingdom under the rule of the king, why do you want to stay alone." ”

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, there is a huge deposit of iron ore, coal and other minerals here, and if it goes well, the annual iron production here can reach 400 times the annual output of Dahan." Wang Xuan said casually.

"How much!" Wang Renhuo stood up from the chair, the speed was not at all like a person who still needed someone to support him, his eyes were as big as copper bells, and he looked at Wang Xuan with a frightened expression.

"I said don't be so excited, okay, you're quite old, you're doing something good." Wang Xuan was afraid that this old man would be excited in the past, so he hurriedly said something to comfort him.

"How can there be so many?" Wang Ren sat down slowly, the look of shock on his face still couldn't be hidden.

"How?" Wang Xuan raised his eyebrows, he didn't know how much Anshan Iron and Steel produced per year, but it was definitely far more than one million tons, in other words, the small steel mills with an annual output of one million tons were among the ranks of banning.

"Not much!" Looking at Wang Xuan's indifferent look, Wang Ren really wanted to smash it with an old fist, it was too arrogant.

"Alright." Wang Xuan waved his hand indifferently, "Why are you talking about this, how much the output has to do with your Wang family, those idle people, let's talk about your business!" ”

"Uh......" Wang Ren smashed his mouth, and suddenly felt very pitiful, compared to those family heads yesterday, he still felt that he was superior, but he didn't expect to be hit as soon as he turned his head, alas, the pattern is still too small.

"In that case, Zaizhi agreed to help." Relieving his emotions, Wang Ren continued to ask.

"It's okay, it's up to you to come up with the price." Wang Xuan doesn't care about this, he can do it easily, it can be regarded as generating income, and besides, relying on himself to open up the territory, he really can't exert all his strength, and he can fully mobilize the power of the elite class in this era to maximize his interests.

"What do you need my Wang family to pay, please make it clear, after all, this is the first time in the world, and the old man doesn't understand the trick."

"It's nothing more than costs and benefits, the cost is logistics materials, grain and grass, equipment loss, war pension, time consumption, and the rest is the income, to meet these two points, on the premise of not delaying the business, it is not a big problem to help." Wang Xuan said casually.

"Supplies, grain and grass, equipment loss, and war compensation can be borne by my royal family, how can this time consumption be calculated? In addition, the old decay doesn't understand what the income is, so I'll make a price, the old decay is overloaded, the Sancheng fields in Langxi County are all my Wang's family, and other counties in Xuzhou are also somewhat there, so it's enough to pay. Wang Ren replied very simply, if he could ask Liu Beijun to come out, it would be much smaller than doing it himself.

Wang Xuan sighed, and rushed to the four words of the evil Wang clan, he was really not good at asking for a price, talked to Wang Ren in detail, and promised to help build the city, main roads, water conservancy facilities, defense buildings, large industrial and mining plants and other things, and then Wang Ren left with his two grandsons satisfied.

Today can be said to be a lot of harvest for Wang Ren, with Wang Xuan's promise, it can be said that the founding of the country is nine out of ten, and can skip the weakest period and directly enter the stage of high-speed development, so that Wang Ren's ambition will burn closer.

As for the payment, basically the family business accumulated by the Wang family in the past four hundred years has been lost eighty percent, but in Wang Ren's opinion, everything is worth it, at least listening to Wang Xuan, it is a plain, and the area of developable fields is ten times that of the Wang family!

That is, there is such a relationship, and it is impossible to change to other families, let alone ten or three times.

Wang Ren, who received a satisfactory reply from Wang Xuan, was full of confidence, and turned his head and began to contact the head of a big family in Hebei, not to mention how Wang Ren pretended to be forced and bragged, on the other hand, Wang Xuan also talked to Liu Bei and others.

Wang Xuan is no longer involved in the specific administrative work, and this time he is in charge of the mountain on the one hand to act as a moderator, and on the other hand, he has other plans.

In the small conference room, Wang Xuan said to a group of people who were in charge of the copywriting work of the Northern Expedition: "All the logistics work of the Northern Expedition is contracted to your group of wealthy families, we only need to specify the time, place, quantity and type of materials, and send it to the money, and the punishment will not be three times." ”

⊙▽⊙, everyone looked at Wang Xuan dumbfounded, what kind of operation is this?

Logistics work is always the most important in a campaign, after all, a little grain and grass problems, the rout of the front line is certain, in a battle, the most terrible tactic is never water attack or fire attack, but cut off the grain road.

In this regard, Cao, the wife of the food madman, has a lot to say.

And Wang Xuan's decision is tantamount to turning the safety of the army into a child's play, and if it is not enough, it will be destroyed by the army.

"I don't agree, soldiers, how can the affairs of the country be entrusted to a group of businessmen!" Tian Feng jumped up without thinking about it, his head shook like a rattle, and although the others present were not as fierce as Tian Feng, they all nodded in agreement.

Wang Xuan rolled his eyes fiercely, he knew that Tian Feng was going to jump out, "Yuan Hao, you can have a snack!" ”

"How could I say such a thing for no reason!"

Tian Feng glanced at Wang Xuan solemnly for a few moments, and then nodded heavily, "You can!" ”

"it!" Tian Feng's words blocked Wang Xuan's heartache, no wonder this guy would die in prison in history with such ability, this character is too unpleasant.

"Shut up." Wang Xuan was also angry, and glared at Tian Feng viciously before continuing: "In this Northern Expedition, the logistics needs are either within our control, or what is needed is sea transportation, and there is basically no possibility of threatening the grain route, so I decided to contract out, which can effectively reduce the consumption of our army, and at the same time mobilize the enthusiasm of the participants, as an opportunity, in the future, within the sphere of influence of our army, the transportation of materials with less danger will be entrusted to businessmen to reduce logistics consumption, and only fight outside, When the danger is high, we will transport it ourselves. ”

After Wang Xuan finished explaining, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, so that the problem is not big, indeed, it is indeed better to hand over the domestic transportation of materials to those families, as the head of the land, many materials they simply do not need to transport, directly exchange in other families where to exchange, this kind of convenience is not something that the government can do.

Seeing that everyone was quiet, Wang Xuancai continued: "In addition, it is also beneficial to have businessmen to follow, in terms of cleaning the battlefield and disposing of seized materials, businessmen have natural advantages, this Northern Expedition to the grassland, will inevitably seize a large number of cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock, and other kinds of Hu people's living materials are countless, and our army is not able to deal with these trophies in the process of fighting, most of the time in order not to be used by the enemy again and directly slaughtered and disposed of, which causes countless waste. ”

"If there are businessmen behind him, they can be directly handed over to them to deal with, our army only needs to take money directly from those merchants after the war, which can not only greatly reduce the workload of the army fighting abroad, but also greatly reduce the war attrition, if everything goes well, it is likely that the Northern Expedition will not only not need to spend a penny, but will also have a large amount of income to fill the treasury."

"This Northern Expedition will be an exploration, to explore a new path of military-civilian cooperation, in the future, the grassland will not be a border trouble, but a piece of the village used to maintain the combat effectiveness of our army and harvest regularly, well, it needs to be well cared for!" After speaking, Wang Xuan spread his hands at everyone.

There was a strange silence in the hall, and everyone, including Liu Bei, didn't know how to express their mentality at the moment, excited? Glad? Not exactly...... Although the edge of the grassland suffers from scabies, this thing is as diaphragmatic as a toad, and it is hated by bites from time to time.

But Wang Xuan's idea, the weird people feel that it may not be impossible to achieve.

In the final analysis, for so many years, the combat effectiveness of the grassland people is still far from that of the big Han, and the key to the border trouble is never that it can't be defeated, but that it is worth sending troops.
