Wang Yue's next stop......

The next stop, of course, is Western Xia.

However, he was just passing through the territory of Western Xia, after all, he still had to go through the Hexi Corridor when he went back.

Although he went to Shazhou to take Qinghai Lake, it was already winter when he went back, and that route had already been covered by heavy snow because of the cold winter, so he could only take the Hexi Corridor to return to the Great Song Dynasty.

But they will not go to Xingqing, so this trip is not an official visit to the Xia State by the Ming King, that is, the King of Zhongshan of the Great Song Dynasty passed by the Xia State of the Great Song Dynasty, as a subject state, the Xia State must open its borders to the imperial court officials and the army and ensure the latter's supply within their own territory, which is their obligation as a subject state. In fact, theoretically, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses like Wang Yue has the right to mobilize the troops of the subject country in the subject country, and the army of the subject country can not accept the command of the court without the authorization of the emperor, but Wang Yue, the deputy marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses.

Including those of the court and those of the vassals.

But even this frightened Li Qianshun to the point of fear.

Fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-Wang Yue!

This demon has a bad record, he can do harm wherever he goes, and he is used to playing surprise attacks.

At this time, Western Xia was only left in the Hexi Corridor Ganzhou and Liangzhou, that is, their Xuanhua Mansion and Xiliang Mansion, if Wang Yue took the opportunity to play a surprise attack on them again and work with Xin Xingzong, these two places are estimated to be lost. In fact, from the time he arrived in Dunhuang, the Western Xia side was already worried, so Li Qianshun directly sent the general Li Liangfu to lead 20,000 cavalry to Ganzhou, and escorted Wang Dawang together with the minister Cao Qing.

At the same time, the border is on guard.

I have to say that over the years, Xixia has been killed so much that he has almost become a frightened bird, and he always likes to think crankily, and he scares himself whenever there is a disturbance.

It is precisely because of this psychology that he is meticulous along the way.

Even the beautiful girl is ready.

Perhaps their sincerity impressed the King of Zhongshan, who was quiet along the way, just to travel around the mountains and rivers, to appreciate the customs and customs along the way, to summon the local handsome, and to strangely run to visit the master, to give some money to those temples, to discuss the Dharma with the master, as if he had changed his soul. However, he was warmly welcomed in Ganliang Erzhou, especially those local tycoons, and soon treated him as if he had met relatives, because Wang Yue signed a cotton purchase contract with them.

Although they didn't understand this word very well, and the model proposed by Wang Yue was a little weird, it made them see the money falling all over the sky.

According to the cotton procurement model proposed by Wang Yue, they are responsible for planting cotton in Ganliang Erzhou.

There was cotton here, and the cotton of the Song Dynasty was first introduced from the northwest, and it is currently the most in the northwest, but it was not until Wang Yue began to promote the cotton textile industry on a large scale that this thing really exerted its power. However, because of the long distance, Xixia does not understand it very well, but cotton does already exist, and it is not difficult to plant it on a large scale.

They then transported the harvested cotton to Lanzhou for sale, where Wang Yue's firm would open up the purchase.

How many to have.

The price definitely satisfied them.

In fact, Wang Yue is to book the price with them, and pay the deposit in advance, and then there will be a special Wang family employee in charge of this to talk to them, absolutely satisfy them, and then as long as they grow cotton, then no matter what the price on the market is, they will buy it according to the predetermined price, if Wang Yue does not accept it, the deposit will not be returned, they can get the deposit in vain.

But if they can't give cotton......

Well, Wang Yue doesn't seem to have much to do, but if that's the case, he will have to go to King Xia to administer justice, and if King Xia doesn't administer justice, then he will have to sue the emperor and ask His Majesty the Emperor to make a ruling, and then it will not be a commercial issue.

So King Xia made a guarantee......

King Xia will make a guarantee, Cao Qing and Li Liangfu, who accompanied him, patted their chests and assured that we Xia people are all promises, and we will never do anything to deceive people, and if they can't give cotton, they will lose money, as long as King Ming is satisfied, King Xia will take this matter.

Of course, that doesn't happen.

Those who are strong and not stupid, and the deposit is not much money, so they can make a lot of money by planting cotton and sending it over.

This is like pie in the sky for the heroes of Ganliang Erzhou.

Originally, because the trade in the Western Regions avoided the Hexi Corridor, they all suffered a lot of losses, and they still hated Wang Yue, but now King Wang is a bodhisattva who saves suffering.

In the trade of the Western Regions, they also drink soup, because the meat is eaten by the Li family and the party members, and they are a messy conquered people, at most, they drink soup, but Wang Yue's cotton purchase is different, the land in this area is theirs, that is, to pay taxes to the Li family, and the income from cotton planting is all their own in addition to paying taxes.

Of course, growing cotton leads to a decrease in grain production.

But it's not a big deal, just the planting area of the control point, and then the cotton is grown here, and the Xingqing area is not planted.

Food!

Just enough to eat!

It is completely possible to squeeze out part of the farmland to grow cotton.

As for the transportation from this belt to Lanzhou, there are no horses, camels, especially camels loaded with 400 catties of cotton, enough to go back and forth to Lanzhou in a month, Wang Yue's price is high enough, less than a thousand miles, and even for Liangzhou's Haoqiang, there are only a few hundred miles, which is not far away. As for how he makes money at such a high price, this is about other people's, he is willing to lose money, don't others want it? Such fools are not afraid of more......

Of course, Wang Yue is certainly not a fool.

As long as the first batch of Xixia Haoqiang really makes money, more people will join, and the cotton planting area in the Hexi Corridor will become larger and larger, and even the landlords in the Xingqing area will join.

As long as the profit is big enough.

He would even sell them grain at a low price in Lanzhou, so that they could grow cotton with peace of mind.

Grow cotton, buy grain, continue to grow more cotton, earn money not only can buy grain to eat, but also have spare money to buy other things, the past can not afford to wear good clothes to wear, the past can not afford to consume tea sugar can also be consumed, cotton can live a good life, cotton is better than food, and finally the entire Hexi Corridor and even the entire Xixia cotton everywhere.

And then......

He suddenly stopped playing.

He didn't take it.

Then it all came crashing down.

Hunger everywhere!

The hungry are swarming!

You can even create a reason, just say that the king of Xixia offended the king of Zhongshan, causing the king of Zhongshan to be angry with the farmers who planted cotton in Xixia, and you can also create rumors, that is, the nobles of Xingqing are hoarding and curbing, and some of them have grain that is deliberately not sold and raised in price. In short, these farmers who grow cotton are angry, they dare to go to the Great Song Dynasty and the Han Kingdom to loot, it is the king of Western Xia who provokes a war, and the surrounding Great Song army will destroy Western Xia, so the Li family can only prevent them from doing so.

But because the land was planted with cotton, and the cotton could not be eaten, and the crops were not planted enough, and there was not enough food in the country, they could not starve to death.

They had no choice but to rob Xingqing.

Even Wang Yue doesn't need to play so obviously, after all, this is very hateful.

Therefore, the price of grain in Lanzhou has skyrocketed, and the king of Zhongshan has made a contract with them to buy cotton, and the rise in grain prices is none of his business.

In this way, the king of Zhongshan can keep his image.

Lanzhou.

"I'm such a nice guy!"

Wang Yue, who was standing on the bank of the Yellow River, sighed.

At this time, Lanzhou was just a frontier fortress, in fact, more than 40 years ago, the city was taken by the Song army, and Lintao in the south, that is, Xizhou, was the military and political center of this area, but now Xining is becoming more and more important, because it is a commercial center.

At this moment, Xin Xingzong, the envoy of Longyouxuanfu, stood grovelling beside Wang Yue.

"The king is a saint from heaven to protect my Great Song."

He touted sensibly.

"Well, this saint still doesn't dare to be a saint, but in this life, Wang should take it as his duty to protect my Great Song Dynasty."

Wang Yue said.

"When, with the merits of the king, only the ancient sages can be compared, no matter how others, in the eyes of the lower officials and subordinate soldiers, the king is a sage, if the king is not a sage, then the ancient sages are all in vain, the lower officials are not those literati, just say anything, even at this moment in front of the official, the lower officials will also say that the king is a sage!"

Xin Xingzong said.

He was testing Wang Yue's reaction.

Because of their group of warlords who flattered Wang Yue, they were preparing to unite and play Zhao Huan to re-establish the prime minister in the retro of Wang Zheng, and then use the prime minister to take charge of the government, as for this prime minister, of course, Wang Yue is Wang Yue, and at the same time abolish the three provinces, and the prime minister directly governs the six departments, and Wang Yue will be promoted to the king of Wei. This King of Wei is on the same level as those clan kings, not a vassal king like his Ming King Han Wang, the vassal king is equivalent to the county king, and the Wei king is the real prince. This is not without precedent, there was a Yan King before, Xiao Puxiannu, the Yan King, is still above the kings of the clan, Wang Yue, the Wei King, is also the nature of her Yan King, and she also wants to use the land of Hebei as the fief of the Wei King......

Well, these guys want to test it and see if Wang Yue has any intention of usurping the throne.

Anyway, it has come to this point, he is a usurpation of the throne, and everyone knows that he will only be the emperor if he moves forward.

Do you want to do that?

If you want to be an emperor, then you accept this, and we can understand at a glance that you are going to be an emperor.

Then we also have a psychological preparation, and we know the goal when we do things in the future, and even if necessary, you hint that we will persuade us to enter, forcing Zhao Huanchan to give in.

He won't say no either.

When the time comes, he will casually crown him as the King of Song, give him a place to live by himself, and let him live the rest of his life like this, even if he dies of illness one day, it will be nothing, anyway, no one will really care about him at that time.

If you don't want to, simply refuse.

So that we also know.

It's always the way it is now, and it makes us feel bad.
