Chapter 331: The Age of Fall

Obviously, Guo Hao is a really smart person, and he already understands what Wang Yue is playing.

This is killing pigs.

The trade in the Western Regions is indeed very profitable, and it is a continuous and stable way to make money, and it can even be earned for generations, this road has been made like this for more than a thousand years, everyone understands this, and the western expedition is almost a sure victory, Shazhou is also a difficult road, and it needs to pass from Xining to the west through more than a thousand miles of uninhabited barren mountains......

But it's not that you can't go.

In fact, there were still a large number of Uighur nomads who lived and submitted to the Great Song Dynasty.

That is, the yellow-headed Uighurs.

They were nomadic in the south of the Qilian Mountains, west of Qinghai, east of the desert, and south to the north of Hoh Xili. Moreover, the development of Shazhou did not hinder their interests, they did benefit from the trade between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Regions, but they mainly controlled the trade routes to Khotan and Tianzhu, and it was the same whether they traded with Shazhou or with the Great Song Dynasty. Although it is certainly not so cheap to trade in Shazhou, after all, this business monopolizes the transaction, so how much to sell is completely up to the seller, but they save a long time to go back and forth.

A business that was originally done once a few years is likely to be done once a year.

And the mortality rate will drop a lot.

In short, this Shazhou trade was actually beneficial to all parties, and it only harmed the interests of the merchants who had settled in the Great Song Dynasty for a long time and the original magnates behind them, because they could no longer profit from this trade control.

But......

That Kansai military!

And the other unbearable was the Western Xia.

They will definitely fight for Shazhou, which was originally theirs at this time.

But......

The Great Song Dynasty ran to Shazhou for an expedition, and it was indeed necessary to travel thousands of miles, and could only send an elite army of several thousand people to fight alone, but the Great Song Dynasty pressed Western Xia in the northwest! They dare to put in a heavy battle for Shazhou, and then directly attack Xingqing or attack the Hexi Corridor.

When the Tangut people succumbed to it, would they have any other choice but to submit?

The Western Expedition is a sure victory.

Basically, there is no possibility of failure!

And then the rest is who pays for it, the court will definitely not pay, the court is just collecting taxes, but at present, the same taxes, the warlords of the Western Army pay for themselves, this is a bit painful, after all, such a western expedition costs an amazing amount of money. They were originally participants in this trade, and it seemed a little unworthy to pay a large sum of money, but Wang Yue gave the best arrangement, they always didn't have to pay money, and let the rich people in the Great Song Dynasty pay for it, and let those gentry pay for it.

Let the guys in the commercial cities who have a lot of wealth but don't know how to make money, these warlords of the Western Army not only don't have to pay money, but also make money in the future, and even take the opportunity to make a lot of money this time.

Speculate on stocks!

Stir up the stock price!

Wang Yue's family gave them more than 100,000 dry shares, and bought another 100,000 internally, and the stock price was pushed up by external speculation, and they were almost snapped up by the generals of the Western Army......

It's inevitable!

At that time, just like Guo Hao said, what is the two through one share, no matter how high it is, when the stock price is pushed up, they can make a move. In the end, before the westward expedition, they had already moved boxes of silver home, so they really made a sure profit, this is the real money, and the trade in the Western Regions is a giveaway!

Of course, Wang Yue won't explain to them, King Zhongshan still has to maintain his image!

As for him......

He doesn't even need to take a stake.

Because the bank is controlled by him, as long as the entire economy develops at a high speed, then he will also make a steady profit.

Good brother, talk about righteousness!

As long as the king of Zhongshan sees that his brothers are making money, he is very satisfied, it doesn't matter if he makes money or not, so that the brothers will save the money to others, it seems that they are very unrighteous, and they will be despised if they are not righteous, and even if there is such a good thing in the future, the brothers will not take him to play.

This is called an interest group!

Or the chaebol.

As for the operation of the plan, it is very simple, Wang Yue came forward to set up this business, this trade line was opened by Zhang Qian, and his title is Bowang Marquis, then it is called Bowang Company. Then he applied to the emperor for the franchise of the Western Regions Trade and obtained his permission, and then issued five million shares with Bowang Company, each of which was consistent, and then the warlords of the Western Army, large and small, rushed to buy it, and in a blink of an eye, the stock price was speculated to a lot. At the same time, through the newspapers of various places, the advocacy of those warlords and party henchmen, and even the civil official families such as Zhang Shuye can also join, in short, the newspapers in major commercial cities every day are full of news that the stock price of Bowang Company is rising.

Then they sold stocks in the banks of major commercial cities, and made some trusts crowd every day, coaxing those rich people to pay money to buy stocks.

As for whether it is cut leeks......

This must be cut, but the time can be dragged on for a longer time, at least after the Jurchen is defeated, after Li Xiaozhong's Western Expeditionary Army sets off, then news can suddenly come that Li Xiaozhong's entire army has been wiped out!

Then the stock price plummeted.

Then the rich landowners were ready to sell without tears.

Here is a quiet repurchase.

Then almost suddenly, news came that Li Xiaozhong's entire army was annihilated, this is purely a rumor of some people with ulterior motives, Li Xiaozhong has seized Shazhou to rebuild the Guiyi Army.

Then the stock price started to skyrocket again in an instant.

As for the rich landmen......

They have already sold their stocks, whether they go up or down or not, and if they want to continue to make a lot of money, then dig up the money in the cellar and buy stocks! In the end, they can experience the ups and downs of capitalism in the alternation of various rumors and truths, and by the way, they are squeezed dry in the process.

King Wang, who sat in the bank, and his despicable and shameless comrades counted the money merrily.

All this money goes into the bank.

Then the bank's sufficient funds will support the abundance of finance, and if the annual income is not enough, what are you afraid of, just have a bank to give the court a loan.

What should I do if I don't have enough money in the bank?

Continue to hype up the big project and cut leeks!

The trade in the Western Regions can be engaged in Bowang Company, but can't maritime trade be engaged in one? Or can't we develop one in the future to the Americas? You can even go to the Wa Kingdom, Sado Island and Iwami Silver Mountain to stir up, and the big projects are one after another, squeezing out the coins buried in the big vat of the old wealth of the landlords.

As far as the current development potential of the Great Song Dynasty is concerned, it is estimated that Wang Yue will not have to worry about lack of inspiration until he dies.

That's the economy!

As for the specific operation, there is no need for Wang Yueguan!

Huahua has returned to Kaifeng, and she is doing this full-time.

Among the women of King Wang, Wu has Xiao Ta and does not smoke, and I am the Empress of Liao Gantian, just like in the original history, she was in charge of the Western Liao Empire to suppress the Western Regions, presiding over the military affairs of Yanshan Road during this time, and commanding the Song and Ming Liao Xi Four Kingdoms Alliance. Wen Youhuahua, the former anti-thief leader controls Wang Yue's money bag, and the economic empire with banks as the core has taken shape, and it is grasping the economic lifeline of the four countries like a monster spreading its tentacles.

As for the rest......

Well, the rest is only responsible for being as beautiful as a flower.

Especially Princess Maude, who is simply a salted fish waiting to die.

Salted fish looked at Wang Yue with a resentful gaze.

The hateful eldest lady was sitting on his lap, reporting the military situation to a thick stack of official documents, and she was a dignified princess of Song, no, she should be the eldest princess, but she could only stand aside like a maid and pour tea and water for them.

Wang Yue had returned to Yanshan City, but there was no tension in the state of war here.

In fact, the victorious army did not enter the war in a big way.

At present, there is only one cavalry corps stationed in Xuanhua outside Juyong Pass, and from time to time it attacks and fights with the Mughu, and the latter actually uses the Xuanda area as a pasture, and their combat methods are too special to make the armies very uncomfortable. Although the Khitan were originally nomads, the Khitan had been sinicized for hundreds of years and had long been settled, while the Mughal people were purely nomadic, and they had no fixed place to live, that is, they wandered around with livestock. The winter of Xuanda is much warmer than the winter of the Nanhe River, especially when spring has begun and there is pasture grass everywhere, and the Mengwu people who are still eating wind and snow on the Mongolian plateau in this season are full of vitality.

Relying on their speed advantage, they constantly roamed around the area to hunt and loot, and once they encountered the cavalry of the Song army, they would fight, and if they couldn't beat them, they would immediately turn around and run.

Song Jun was helpless.

At present, Yang Zongmin is sticking to Datong.

Fortunately, Xuanda was originally sparsely populated, mainly concentrated in Datong, Xuanhua and other points, Datong is currently in fact under siege, because there are fewer people out of the city is easy to be attacked by the Mugul. But the latter also did not have the ability to attack the city, because once they attacked the city with all their strength, they had to assemble, so that Guo Qizhong of Fengzhou and Yanmen Pass could be compromised, and even the Changsheng army of Xuanhua would immediately surround them.

In the same way, when they attack these places, Yang Zongmin will also attack from Datong.

At present, there are four mutual insurance.

As long as the Muguls concentrated on attacking one of them, they would be surrounded by the other three.

They also did not have enough troops to attack at the same time.

At present, the battle of Xuanda is a stalemate, the four families want to have a decisive battle with the Mengwu, but they are scattered and nomadic, they don't care about this, they originally lived like this, and the conditions of Xuanda are better than their hometown, they prefer to be in this place.

In the same way, the four Mughuls were helpless.

But as a result of the stalemate, they will actually become the victors, because the seeds will soon be sown, and the Xuanda people who are hiding in the cities will not be able to carry out agriculture under such circumstances, and in the end they will have to turn the land into pastures for the Mughal people. And the purpose of the Mughal people now is obviously to rely here, originally they really just wanted to follow the Jurchens to loot, but now this land has made them reluctant to leave.

With such a good place, who would like to go back to the Mongolian plateau, where the lowest temperature is minus 50 degrees!

Xuanda is indeed very cold.

And drought.

But for them, it's a warm and humid paradise!
