Zong Ze got up and came to the war room.

After a while, Zong Ze pointed to the sketch map of the northern part of the Song Dynasty in front of him and said: "Although we defeated the Jin people this year, the entire north suffered huge losses, and Liu Guangshi, who was originally stationed in Xingzhou, directly abandoned the city and fled, which caused the direction of our military town to collapse suddenly. ”

"But the Northern Army suffered 130,000 casualties, and Hou Sanhui betrayed the Song Dynasty and took refuge in the Jin Wushu, so that Xiangyang City was also trampled by the iron hooves of the Jin Army."

"Although the Jin army has retreated on a large scale, the mess left in various parts of the north still has to be dealt with, and the civil victims are everywhere, and there are many places where rogue bandits have broken out."

"The food in Xiangyang is already in short supply."

"Wang Zanghai has sent me many times that hundreds of victims are dying of hunger every day."

For this reason, the old man made a presentation to the court and explained the situation. Fortunately, His Majesty was benevolent and ordered to send life-saving food to our city of Beijing. ”

"This time the grain and grass are related to the stability of people's livelihood in the major regions of the north, so the old man must stabilize the smooth and safe arrival of grain."

"In addition, that batch of grain stopped in Beijing City and was dispatched to Xiangyang City, and a large part of it was transported through the grain and grass, but they were all private merchants."

"Now that there are many bandits in this time, we have to send an army to maintain the security of the perimeter."

Hearing this, Yue Fei took the initiative to ask: "General, the last general is willing to go." ”

"How many cavalry are you going to be with now?"

Yue Fei replied: "When the last general set out, he took 3,000 cavalry and fought successively, and now there are 20,000 cavalry and 50,000 horses. ”

"Good! It seems that this is none other than you. ”

"Pengju!"

"Yes."

"You don't need to bring many soldiers and horses with you this time, a thousand people are enough."

"Five hundred horsemen will be enough."

"It's the robbers who are dealing with the bandits, they are not extremely vicious, and they are all forced to fall into the grass."

"Ben Shuai will give you a thousand elites, and the generals and soldiers in the army are up to you to choose."

"The last general commands!" Yue Fei didn't delay any longer, quickly turned around and left the camp.

Before you know it, three days have passed.

The rebellion of the Jin army has been well known in the temples of the Great Song Dynasty.

And the twists and turns of the court officials are also more and more on Zhao Shuo's imperial case.

Zhao Shuo turned a blind eye to these twists and turns.

He wants money!

It will allow the kingdom to be rebuilt after the Great War.

And Wu Desi also gave Zhao Shuo a perfect answer.

I copied a total of 15 million taels of money from the emperor's relatives before.

plus the 100,000 taels of silver donated by Xu Guogong and Jiuhuang Mei, as well as the assets of corrupt officials seized by Gao Yu during this period of 3.7 million taels.

After all, there are now 18,100,000 taels of silver.

That's a lot of money.

When Zhao Shuo raided King Pu's group of thieves last year, he obtained more than 10 million taels of silver.

It's just that this money is not enough at all.

Because the next military expenditure and the pension of the fallen soldiers will cost 23 million taels.

And in many places, officials have not yet distributed it.

However, Zhao Shuo did not panic at all.

Because he promoted a finance minister a year ago, Wang Chuxi!

The current Wang Chuxi is no longer the nobleman who was anxious for one hundred thousand taels.

Today's Wang Chuxi can be said to be the richest man in the business community in Bianliang City.

That guy made a lot of money selling lipstick in Bianliang City.

In addition, he is also in full swing in the chain industry outside Bianliang City.

In just one year, Wang Chuxi sold 120,000 lipsticks from Zhao Shuo's Ministry of Industry.

according to the one hundred taels of silver which he said.

The money he received was estimated at 12 million taels.

Even if Zhao Shuo gave Wang Chuxi a commission of 1.2 million taels, Zhao Shuo still had a profit of more than 10 million taels.

The real raw materials and the human resources produced by the Ministry of Industry are only 50,000 taels.

So, you can imagine the windfall profits involved.

Today, Wang Chuxi was summoned by Li Huai.

I heard that the emperor held a banquet to entertain him in the Wende Palace.

He couldn't wait to pack it up, and followed Li Huai to Wende Hall to show off his business talent with Zhao Shuo.

"Your Majesty, this is Lao Chen's sales last year."

"Good, good." Zhao Shuo personally poured wine for Wang Chuxi.

The latter couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Without waiting for the emperor to ask, Wang Chuxi took the initiative to invite merit and said: "Weichen is currently in Bianliang City, Baoding and Jinling City, as well as Beijing City have set up a monopoly, the next step is to focus on the development of the Lianghuai region, and is currently opening a new brand hall in Xiangyang." Weichen has sent people to do a poll, and the rich people in Xiangyang City like lipstick, and many people even ask people to buy it in Bianliang City. ”

"Hmm." Listening to Wang Chuxi's report.

Zhao Shuo bowed slightly.

Xiangyang City was a rich place in the Great Song Dynasty.

Like Jinling City, it is the back garden of the dignitaries and dignitaries in the Lianghuai region to cultivate and recuperate.

It can be said that the powerful merchants of the entire Great Song Dynasty gathered in these two places.

There are frozen bones on the stinky road of Zhumen's wine and meat, which is Xiangyang City.

And the Chinese cabbage is fed to the pigs, and the people are starving all over the field, which is Jinling City.

It can be seen from this that the problem of bureaucratization in the management of the two Huai regions has reached a point where there is no room for delay.

"Wang Aiqing."

"Your Majesty."

"You're not fast enough."

"In addition to the two Huai and Xiangyang City you mentioned, you have to rush to Bohai and Hangzhou, Tianjin, especially Huaixi as soon as possible."

"Even the whole territory of the Great Song Dynasty."

"Be bold, some places are not consumed, and if you drive over, someone will naturally buy them."

Zhao Shuo suddenly felt that this financial manager was not very smart.

It seems that the pattern is still not open enough.

In terms of the current situation of the Great Song Dynasty, even in the barren northwest, there are no rich people?

Yes!

Those rich people who are potentially below the water can pick out any one of them, and they are inhumane Lords.

Therefore, Zhao Shuo had to put a little pressure on Wang Chuxi.

Let him be bold and earn early!

Wang Chuxi listened to the emperor's words, and suddenly became a little annoyed.

If he had known that the pressure on his shoulders had increased, he would not have come here to see him.

Just take what you get and let Li Yan pay the rest back to the treasury.

This year, although Wang Chuxi touched the largest amount of silver in his life.

But only 10% of the commission really belongs to him.

Instead, I was so tired that I almost burped.

Now that the emperor is going to let himself add a bell again, Wang Chuxi feels that his head is swollen.

"Your Majesty, do you still have to drive so much?"

"Then count the military towns and grain and grass in the northwest region."

"Your Majesty, this ......"

"What's wrong? My meaning is very clear, if you want to make more money, if you want to sit with me often to eat and drink, then do it boldly and earn early, do you understand? ”
