Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 367
After everyone stated that they were almost ready, Murong Yanda also got up to speak.

He talked eloquently in front of everyone, but what he said was not those big and useless empty words. What Murong Yanda said in detail was what kind of arrangement they should make in Qingzhou City after Hu Yanzhuo sent troops: including how to buy from the big merchants in Qingzhou City How to appease the people when collecting supplies there, and asked everyone to list the people as townships in the past few days, and organize civilian men to make up for the shortage of guards in Qingzhou City in time. Once the city wall is missing, these civilian men must also be used Timely repair.

Then he talked about the material reserves of the merchants in Qingzhou City, and asked the officials to immediately compile the details of the merchants. Once the battle in the city is urgent, all these materials will be requisitioned first. As for how to compensate afterwards, that will have to wait in Qingzhou Let's talk about it after the crisis situation in the city has passed.

After reading it again, it turned out that besides the merchants, Murong Yanda had already investigated the situation of various craftsmen in Qingzhou City, and listed them in detail one by one. Carpenters for instrument repairs, blacksmiths for weapon repairs, doctors if necessary, etc.

Then Murong Yanda said that after Hu Yanzhuo's soldiers left the city, all the Goulan cottages in the city were temporarily closed, so that the soldiers in front were fighting, but the dignitaries in the city were still singing and dancing, which disturbed the morale of the soldiers.

Listening to Murong Yanda's words, Sun Xin nodded secretly. Murong Yanda's ability to think of such a detailed level shows that he is definitely not an official at the level of a rich man. On the contrary, he is quite capable. This person is capable, decisive and vicious. This bandit-ravaged Qingzhou has stayed for so long, although it may not be able to achieve anything, but at least it is not easy to be able to guard Qingzhou safely.

This is also a good thing for Sun Xin. After all, having such a pragmatic person defending the city by himself will save him some troubles.

After the meeting, because Hu Yanzhuo was about to send troops, most of the officers hurriedly followed Hu Yanzhuo to leave.

Sun Xin approached Murong Yanda and said: "We have a lot of luggage this time, and we have decided to donate a batch of knives and guns to Qingzhou City Defense."

Hearing this news, Murong Yanda's eyes lit up, she looked at Sun Xin in surprise and asked, "Is this true?"

Sun Xin nodded, "We have prepared a thousand iron gun heads and five hundred iron knives, and we are willing to dedicate them to Qingzhou City."

Hearing the detailed figures, Murong Yanda finally believed that Sun Xin really wanted to donate the swords and guns, and was overjoyed at the moment.

You must know that Hu Yanzhuo's replenishment of troops in Qingzhou City this time greatly consumed the local treasury and took away many good local weapons.

You must know that although Qingzhou City is a place surrounded by bandits, the treasury here still maintains the average level of the Song Dynasty. The swords, guns and armor battles in the treasury have not been seen all year round, and there are many corrupted people. In order to replenish the army, Murong Yanda had to summon a large number of blacksmiths in the city in advance to make weapons for Hu Yanzhuo in a hurry.

When Hu Yanzhuo left with [-] soldiers, Murong Yanda not only faced the problem that there were only a few thousand rural troops left in the city, but even the completeness rate of swords and armor in the rural army was very low.

He had long envied Sun Xin's guards and soldiers for having iron guns. Although he had only heard that the firearms were very sharp and had never seen them with his own eyes, the heavy iron pipes alone were enough to make Murong Yanda envious. Now, you must know that the iron pipe of the rifled gun needs several kilograms of good iron. If it is changed to make an iron gun head, Sun Xin's thousands of spearmen are enough to equip the entire Qingzhou City spearman team.

If it were another landlord, Murong Yanda, who dared to reveal his wealth so blatantly, would have been robbed by him long ago.

It's just that Murong Yanda knew the relationship between Sun Xin and Zhao Ji, so he felt a little bit jealous. Although he was very envious, he was embarrassed to ask Sun Xin to contribute weapons. Now that Sun Xin proposed it himself, Murong Yanda was really overjoyed.

He directly and happily said three good words, and then said that he would send someone to hand over to Sun Xin immediately.

The joy faded slightly, and Murong Yanda looked at Sun Xin and asked, "I don't know what Sun Zhuangzhu has contributed so much to the protection of Qingzhou City this time, what exactly does he want?"

Sun Xin said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, my lord, our Supervisory Committee has made a lot of noise in Dengzhou. Presumably the prefect of Murong knows about it?"

Hearing this, Murong Yanda understood instantly. He nodded. Sure enough, Sun Xin said that he wanted to get Murong Yunda's approval to set up supervisors among the several Zhuangzi outside Qingzhou City after he defended Qingzhou City. meeting.

Regarding this, Murong Yanda suddenly became hesitant, Sun Xin observed his words, and quickly said that he would make the supervisory committee strictly abide by the court's laws. He invested in a factory.

Murong Yanda rolled his eyes, noncommittal, and Sun Xin beat the drum next to him and said: "Although this Qingzhou is closer to Hebei than the other two prefectures in Dongsan Prefecture, and it is located on the main road of transportation, the local industry is only formed by silk weaving." The scale, sun-drying salt, etc. are completely uncompetitive because of the terrain. Originally, the silk weaving industry was quite developed here because it was close to Hebei. few."

Murong Yanda also understood this in his heart.

The main reason why Qingzhou’s weaving households went bankrupt and did not cause chaos is that this place relies on major traffic roads, and many merchants from Dengzhou to Hebei pass through this place, which provides a little flow of people for this place to operate. Some other businesses, on the other hand, the three eastern prefectures are connected as one. All the farmers who can't survive in Qingzhou go to Dengzhou, so they won't starve to death. Among the taxes in Qingzhou City, commercial taxes increase with merchants. It is increasing. Although the weather has been bad in the past two years, the grain tax on the field has not encountered any major problems because the promotion of improved varieties in Dengzhou has partially offset the reduction in climate production. A large number of price cuts, it is very easy for the common people to pay taxes.

Although Qingzhou's industry is in decline, the lives of the people are not more difficult than before.

However, Sun Xin smiled and told Murong Yanda that although his tax can be levied, Dengzhou has now formed a textile industry chain. Although Dengzhou is farther away from Hebei, it can be easily transported by sea boat. It seems impossible to form enough textile factories to compete with the Dengzhou industry.

"There are not many factories that can be opened in Qingzhou in the future. I only plan to open a textile factory."

Hearing this, Murong Yanda finally couldn't bear it anymore.

If there is only one textile factory, if you take Joe yourself, you may not even have the opportunity to participate in this factory in the future.

He is naturally greedy for money. He has long heard that officials in Dengzhou accompanied Sun Xin's supervisory committee to invest in factories and make a lot of money. He was very envious.

"The shares in the Qingzhou factory alone are not enough. You can help me find a property in Dengzhou."

Hearing the request from the prefect of Murong, Sun Xin smiled, shook his head and said: "We in Dengzhou don't mean that we can get whoever's property we want, but it is still possible to help the prefect to buy shares in some factories. The price is fine. discuss."

Although Terengganu is not short of investment funds now, it is still easy to digest Murong Yanda's share capital. At most, he can find a good factory for him to get a high dividend.

Hearing what Sun Xin said, Murong Yanda was finally happy, and immediately said that as long as the crisis in Qingzhou City passed, he would naturally provide convenience for Sun Xin's Supervisory Committee to open up the situation in Qingzhou.
