Ding Qirui scolded secretly in his heart, but he didn't dare to be disobedient: "I understand, this matter, the official will go back and think about it, write a concerto, and help them fool the past." ”

Wang Ji hurriedly said: "This official also wrote the same recital as Lord Ding and sent it, with the recital written by the two of us as proof, the emperor will definitely believe it." ”

Zhao Jiang and the others breathed a sigh of relief, they were really a little afraid of being settled by the Autumn Queen, but there were two big civil officials to help speak, so it would be foolproof.

The seven people hurriedly said that they would keep to themselves in the future and no longer cause trouble to the court, and expressed a few words of loyalty.

Li Daoxuan interrupted them with a smile: "Don't be busy showing loyalty, no matter how nice you say it now, if you go back and are owed a few years of military salary, what should you do?" Do you think all of what you just said as a fart? ”

Seven: "......"

Ding Qirui and Wang Ji were equally embarrassed.

Li Daoxuan turned to Wang Ji: "You are the governor of Ningxia, and you are in charge of the government affairs of Yinchuan, Ningxia, I talked to you last time, if you don't solve the problem of the border army's salary, they will have to rebel sooner or later, and one time the scale is larger than the other, and in the end, it will definitely be a piece of chicken feathers and cannot be cleaned up." ”

Wang Ji: "What Shaoxia talked to the official two days ago, the official has already taken it to heart. ”

Li Daoxuan: "Large-scale cattle and horse breeding is imminent, the governor should know how to do internal affairs better than me, and I don't need to say the specific details, right?" ”

Wang Ji hugged his fists: "Don't worry, young man, this time the official almost lost his life." Even if it is for the sake of his own life, he must take a good grasp of this matter. It's just that the official still has a little doubt, if I raise livestock on a large scale in the Yinchuan area of Ningxia, how can these livestock be sold? ”

This time, Li Daoxuan didn't speak, and the caravan steward jumped out from the side, handing over a famous sticker with both hands: "Lord Governor, the villain is the manager of the textile factory who is so warm that he is sleepy, and this time he came to Ningxia to discuss a business with the local herdsmen." In the future, the wool of the herdsmen, the textile factory is willing to buy, but the herdsmen are running around, there is no fixed place, and the villain cannot contact them, I hope the court can come forward to organize it......"

Li Daoxuan smiled and said, "Lord Wang, I'll teach you a way to make money." The government stepped forward to build an 'official wool receiving station'. Herders bring their wool here and buy it at a flat price. When the caravan arrives, you can buy the wool directly from the government. Isn't it safer for the government to take a reasonable difference than to collect taxes? Not only will it not attract the infamy of collecting taxes, but it will also be praised by the herdsmen for benefiting the people. ”

When General Zhao heard this, his eyes also lit up: "There are also many family members of our border army who raise livestock, but they don't raise much, and big businessmen will not be interested in collecting them." If the government opens a receiving station, then our small amount of wool can also be sold into the receiving station. This can also solve the livelihood of many border military families. ”

Wang Ji pondered carefully, and sure enough, he had a good plan: eat some wool to make money, as long as you control your subordinates strictly, and don't let them maliciously push the purchase price too low, this can become a good government. Not only will it not be notorious, but it will be famous.

He was pondering this when he heard Li Daoxuan laugh and said, "Lord Wang must be thinking, you should control your subordinates strictly, don't let them hurt the people." ”

Wang Ji: "Huh? Shaoxia seems to understand this very well. ”

Li Daoxuan: "I really understand this, no matter how strict the management is, there will be people who fill their pockets and maliciously lower prices and hurt the people." There is only one way to put an end to the problem of malicious price reduction of goods received by official receiving stations. ”

Wang Ji humbly asked for advice: "What is the law? Please also teach me Shaoxia. ”

Li Daoxuan: "Don't let the government-run stores monopolize and give the power of private wool receiving stations. ”

When Wang Ji heard this, he was slightly stunned: Huh?

Li Daoxuan: "Herdsmen are not stupid! If the official receiving station lowers the price too fiercely, the herdsmen will naturally go to the private receiving station to ship the goods, and the government-run stores will not be able to receive the goods, and those who want to fill their own pockets will naturally not be able to make money, so they can only raise the price again. This is called the market's ability to self-regulate...... In the same way, if a private store maliciously controls prices, as long as your government-run store raises the price, the private store will not make any money. ”

Wang Ji suddenly realized: "It makes sense." ”

Li Daoxuan: "Of course, there will be the possibility of collusion between officials and private individuals to lower prices together." If this thing continues, more and more problems will emerge, but I believe that the governor of a province, who will not be incompetent, will definitely be able to solve these problems well. ”

Wang Ji: "Taught!" The young man is so knowledgeable, so try it out. ”

A few days later......

Ding Qirui returned to Guyuan and reported the Ningxia Rebellion to Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides: the previous news was a false alarm, and the Yinchuan border army did not rebel, but only gathered under the Ningxia Mansion to make noise and beg for wages. After he led the army to Ningxia City, he came forward to uphold justice, invited Wang Ji and the border army generals together, and sat down to negotiate.

In the end, Wang Ji, the governor of Ningxia, borrowed food and wages from merchants, advanced the military salaries of the border army, and adopted a series of internal measures to raise food and wages, striving to make up for this huge hole in the near future without relying on blood transfusions from above.

After listening to this, Hong Chengchou always felt that something was weird, but ...... It's a good thing that this thing is suppressed after all.

After a while, the news reached the capital.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen saw this report, and was greatly relieved in his heart, and replied: Ding Qirui handled it properly, shared worries for the country, and was promoted to the right political envoy.

As for the Ningxia border army......

They knew who was really good to them, it was not Wang Ji or Ding Qirui, but the young man who appeared mysteriously, and the caravan brought by the young man.

The border soldiers got the "Legend of Daoxuan Tianzun Demon Exterminator" from the hands of the caravan, and after reading it, they finally knew why the young man was invulnerable, and he could capture Ding Qirui alive in thousands of troops single-handedly.

As a result, the Dao Xuan Tianzun Sect quickly became popular among the border troops.

The words "Heavenly Honorable Blessing" once became a popular phrase in the border army, and there were more people than "Ami stealing Buddha"-

At the same time that Li Daoxuan was gaining a large number of believers in the northwest region......

Central Henan! Mesa.

Lao Huihui with 3,000 iron horsemen is retreating towards the depths of Pingdingshan.

No way, no return.

Zuo Liangyu, Zu Kuan, Luo Dai and other generals divided their troops into three ways and surrounded Lao Hui, followed by the troops of He Renlong, Cao Wenzhao, and Lu Xiangsheng.

The officers and men were immense.

Although Lao Huihui led the elite border army iron cavalry, he could not stop the encirclement of so many officers and soldiers, so he could only temporarily avoid his front.
