Chapter 43 Jin Shang

Zhang Youzhi said, "My lord, the lower official has a word."

He Xi said, "That's it."

Zhang Youzhi said: "The method of transportation, the lower officials can't solve it, they can only use the old method below, the military food can be transported to the border before, and now it is possible, it is nothing more than a lot of consumption." Zhang Youzhi said here for a slight pause, as if he was waiting for He Xi to digest his words.

In fact, there is nothing to digest. It's just a stupid way.

The cost is great, but it is not necessarily impossible.

However, He Xi also knew that Zhang Youzhi may not fully understand his transportation problems.

Steelmaking is a thing that is bigger and cheaper, and if you let the local area build a steelmaking furnace little by little, it will be too time-consuming.

Transportation is a hundredfold more difficult than food.

It's just that these specific technical problems are not well understood to those here. Maybe Ge Tiangong is here, and Ge Tiangong can understand.

Thinking of this, He Xi sighed.

Zhang Youzhi seemed to capture He Xi's emotions, but he had some misunderstandings and said, "If you allow Shanxi people to host this steel plant, not only do you not have to worry about the money for building the steel plant, but you can also share the money for connecting the railway. It is even beneficial for the imperial court to take Shanxi."

He Xi heard Zhang Youzhi say this, and he was stunned in his heart, and a term jumped out of his mind.

That is Jin Shang.

Today's Jin merchants are even a prototype.

The real formation of the Jin merchants was formed after decades of good work and engaging in the salt industry. It has flourished for hundreds of years. Although today's Jin merchants are compared with the Jin merchants in their heyday, there is no way to compare them at all. But the Jin merchants, no, the Shanxi merchants are still quite powerful.

This strength comes from the commercial talent of Shanxi people, and also from the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. With the least destruction, the accumulation in Shanxi is higher than in other places, and it is a matter of course.

Tens of millions of taels, naturally you can't take it out. Even if today's big businessmen in Shanxi count one and all go to extract oil, there is not so much oil and water. But it's not just Shanxi businessmen behind Shanxi businessmen.

It is important to know that Shanxi and Shaanxi are one. It's all interoperable in business.

These people's networks don't need to use all their money.

Anyway, the steel consortium is more profitable, everyone can see it, and even if the steel is not much profitable, many people also value the steel industry, without him, this is the source of many industries, the steel industry moves, and the following industrial chain will catch a cold.

This kind of control must be obtained even if it is not very profitable. With such power, you don't make much money but don't want to make money.

If you want to make money, there is a way.

And who knows the most about Shanxi? Naturally, he is a native of Shanxi. Shanxi was originally the base camp of Wang Baobao, and the Mongols began to operate in Shanxi during the time of Genghis Khan. Therefore, the local gentry in Shanxi actually have a very weak concept of Hu and Han.

In fact, these people did not take sides in the struggle between Beijing and Nanjing. Otherwise, King Jin would not have made such a big fuss in Taiyuan.

If the Shanxi people can be pulled onto the boat, Beijing's strategy against Shanxi will become a local war, and not only He Xi understands, but others also understand. ap.

"My lord, you can try." Qu Neng said.

Shanxi is too important, and the reason why He Xi doesn't fight Shanxi is because Shanxi is not easy to fight, not because he doesn't want to fight.

Now there seems to be an opportunity. He Xi hesitated.

"My lord, even if you have a national debt, the money of the imperial court is not too handy. After all, anything can happen in a war, so if you can save some money, let's save some." Yang Shiqi hesitated for a while, sighed, and said.

He Xi listened to Yang Shiqi's words, and sighed in his heart.

He knew Yang Shiqi. Yang Shiqi is not unaware of the importance of the steel industry. Liberalizing the steel industry and allowing private capital to enter has a lot to do with it. But he also knows that Daming's finances seem to be abundant

, but in fact, it is not optimistic.

How much will it cost to fight the big war in the future is a figure that no one can say.

He Ximing knew that from banks to iron and steel, these sensitive enterprises would let private capital enter one by one, which would cause further passivity of the imperial court in the future. But he couldn't help it, he even had a kind of enlightenment.

One day in the future, all the enterprises he established will not belong to the imperial court. It doesn't matter if it's purchased for various reasons, or it's occupied. In short, disappeared into the administrative sequence of the imperial court.

This is bound to happen.

Regardless of the future financial crisis, or the division of the assets of the imperial court by the magnates.

He Xi said, "Then so be it. Zhang Youzhi, since you said you could get money, I'll listen to you. Go down and prepare."

Zhang Youzhi was overjoyed, and left with Ge Tiangong without saying anything.

He Xi was not curious about who Zhang Youzhi went to. Probably Shanxi Bank is going to play a role. He Xi said: "I have one last worry, that is, security, although Datong is some distance from Yanmen Pass, there is no danger, and Geng Bingwen is also a capable person. Now that he has got rid of the king of Jin and unified the military and government of the northwest, he is now ready to move, if he knows that we are going to build a steel plant in Datong. I'm afraid I won't sit idly by."

When the King of Jin was in Shanxi, Shanxi was not a big threat to Beijing, and the King of Jin is now dead, and the power of the King of Jin has also been cleaned up. It's easy to defend and difficult to attack, and you don't need so many people to defend Shanxi.

Shanxi's desire to attack abroad is very strong, and He Xi has obtained such information from many places.

After all, the main force of the Northern Expedition, the armies of Jingying plus Henan, Shandong and other capitals are not one with the Shanxi army, and the Shanxi army also knows that the northern army seems to be very powerful, but it is only like.

When Qu Tong heard He Xi say this, his heart lit up, and he said, "My lord, don't you say that I haven't thought of it yet, can we design to lure Shanxi to attack?"

"If the Shanxi army sits on guard, we can't do anything, but if the Shanxi army goes out of Shanxi, the lower officials are determined that they won't be able to go back."

He Xi listened to Qu Neng's words, his heart moved, and he said secretly, "Yes, you can lure the snake out of the hole."

He Xi has no problem mastering strategy, but when it comes to the specific tactical issues of how to fight, there are many people below. Qu Neng is a veteran and has a lot of experience in it.

Now that he has made a guarantee. He Xi also believes it.

What's more, Qu Neng has been serving in the Northwest for a long time, which he is good at after all.

He Xi thought for a while and said, "This method is good, but let the staff make a plan. Wait a little longer. First, we have to wait for the battle of Weihuifu and the dust settles, and second, we have to wait for the results of the construction of the railway, no matter what, this railway will always have to be built. You can do it first, if everything goes well, try it next year, if you can win Shanxi, you can say anything, if you can't take it-------

Although it is said that there was a major change in Nanjing, Xu Da's death directly affected the earthquake in the Nanjing army. But this earthquake did not affect Wei Hui's front line, after all, Sheng Yong is Fu Youde's descendant, and Fu Youde naturally knows that when he fights, it is the best state to be careless.

Shielded him from all the wind and rain from the rear.

And Sheng Yong also lived up to Fu Youde's importance to him.

From Zhangde to Weihui, it has been two months. Sheng Yong fought and retreated, although he fought all the way, Sheng Yong was always retreating, but this can better illustrate Sheng Yong's ability, and the tactics of the Northern Army may be a little rigid. However, combat effectiveness must not be underestimated.

Sheng Yong can fight almost the same in every battle, and he can retreat to the back under his nose. So that the northern army can't catch the tail.

Even taking this battle as an excellent training opportunity, many recruits do not know what it is to fight, and the two sides have met more times on the battlefield, and they are used to it.

Sheng Yong's various firearms tactics grew up in the battle with the Northern Army as the enemy and the Northern Army as the division.

even made He Xi have a feeling that the southern army will be the first in the future

brigade, perhaps, was sharpened in this war.
