Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 1022
During this period, the Staff Division of the Ministry of War did an exciting event. The Force of the Speed ​​Division was invested in disrupting Xingqing and setting fire to the granary.The Zhifang Division is relatively weak, but it has developed its influence among the noble chieftains of various ethnic groups early on. The envoys of the Zhifang Division Shaanxi Fang received a secret order from the Ministry of War and chose to assist the large clans in the Song Dynasty to flee.

With the help of some people, taking advantage of Li Renxiao's suppression of Li Renzhong and the chaos in Xingqing City, they even rescued some of the descendants of the Xiyu family and the Weili family, and ran into Helan Mountain to hide.

It has to be said that the performance of the official party secretary is outstanding, and his achievements are by no means inferior to that of the machine speed department. The destruction is not difficult, but the difficulty lies in the rescue. After hearing the news, those big patriarchs and important figures of the big clan who surrendered were relieved.

When they surrendered to the imperial court, they had considered the worst outcome, but they did not expect that some of their clansmen would be rescued.Although they are only part of the direct descendants, they are also the blood of the family, and they still feel the sincerity of the Song Dynasty. They really treat each other with sincerity, and they still try their best. Toned down a lot.

The war has been going on for several months, and it is already midsummer, and it is really not easy to fight at this time.

Under the scorching sun, wearing iron armor weighing tens of kilograms, and several layers of thick linen clothes, and a layer of thin cotton clothes under the first-line armored men's linen clothes, even good people are covered, even though the cotton is still high-grade Luxuries are not available to ordinary people, but there are a lot of equipment in the imperial army.It is to reduce the friction of the iron armor.

Midsummer is not suitable for large-scale military operations. Qu Duan will not launch operations for the time being, but to appease the people. It is correct to bury the bodies of the dead in battle. Even the attack on Xiping Mansion is much weaker. Get Wang Xiu's acquiescence.

Wang Xiu was not idle in Kaifeng either. She contacted the big merchants in the two capitals and used her influence to create momentum for the implementation of the two silver laws.

Large merchants from the two capitals gathered here, including the Wang family of Hangzhou and the Wang family of Wenzhou.

Hoping to get a share of the pie, the restaurant business in Kaifeng is booming, the prices of the first-class rooms are soaring, and they are full of customers who speak different accents and spend money generously.

Wang Xiu discussed with Wang Qingzhu and the Wang family brothers, asking those businessmen who want to benefit to give some blood, not always give them benefits, let's not pay at all!Also, it’s fine if you want to get benefits, so please support the implementation of the two-bank law. Anyway, you don’t take the land seriously, and most of you buy the land to start free schools.A good reputation is also earned.

The reason why the Song court did not lack food was that the main areas were rich in products, and they did not have the burden of barren land in the Han and Tang dynasties.

Now, the imperial court is gradually recovering these areas, and there must be a countermeasure. The relatively concentrated land may not be much, at least he can implement his long-planned plan, that is, large-scale co-production farming, to test some new grains Variety.

Under the conditions of a small-scale peasant economy, it is impossible for agriculture to develop greatly. Only by developing manor-style agriculture can new varieties, animal husbandry and meat deep processing be developed to form a stable industrial chain.

He said some ideas, which caused Wang Qingzhu to roll her eyes, saying that brother Xiu is too treacherous, even if she takes money from other people's pockets, it makes people happy.

The corners of the Wang brothers' mouths twitched. Wang Xiu's method was so simple that they didn't even think about it, but careful consideration was the most effective method.The most important thing is that Wang Xiu gave them an idea. It seems that restoring the economy of the gentry manors in the Jin Dynasty is of great significance to the growth of the family.

It's a pity that they see the surface, but they don't realize the deep-seated things. Wang Xiu's promotion of the relative concentration of land is not to restore the gentry manor economy.

The overseas mining industry has begun to develop, and the huge benefits brought by the sea have driven people crazy. It is a pity that the most profitable mine trade is controlled by merchants from Jiangyou, Fujian and other places. The merchants in the inland military states are powerless. Don't dare to cross the line.

This gave Wang Xiu a very good opportunity. He wants to go overseas to mine mines and divide them into different types of tools according to different minerals. He does not need to be operated by the big merchants in the inland military state. With these tools, he can share a lot of resources. Great profits on ships and mine items.

It is so simple that you pay to support the imperial court, and you have to take the lead in supporting the local government in the implementation of the two-bank law. Not only can you buy land, but you can also share a certain percentage of overseas profits according to the amount of war bonds you buy.

This approach not only gives opportunities to big merchants in the mainland, but also will not cause fierce opposition from big merchants in Jiangyou, Fujian and other places. After all, they participate in the form of war bonds. It is right for the court to give them benefits. , if you cover everything, I am afraid that even the imperial court will not let it go.

Those big merchants are also big landlords. In the face of huge commercial interests, everyone understands that although the land value is high, it is not as fast as commercial money. They did not constitute much loss. On the contrary, they bought overseas war bonds at a low price, and the benefits they got were so high that they could not refuse them.

As for whether you can get benefits, just look at the food of those big merchants on the right side of the river, and you will understand that this is an inexhaustible pancake. Generous benefits.

At least, with Wang Xianggong in place, their interests can be guaranteed, and a fool would refuse the benefits of both.

Walking in the dog days of Jiangning is like a steamer. The hot and humid air makes people extremely uncomfortable. The rich put ice cubes to enjoy the coolness, and the well-off people also enjoy the coolness under the shade of trees at home.

However, even ordinary people like Shengdou, most of them wear silk shoes, buy a bowl of iced plum soup when they are thirsty, and hire a carriage when they are tired.

Zhu Lian also moved out of Da Nei and came to Yuyang Palace by the Xuanwu Lake. Around her bedroom, there were towering trees to block the scorching sun, and she felt a little shady in it. Intoxicating coolness.

She likes it best at night, sitting quietly in the pavilion on the high platform, admiring the boat fires in the distance on the lake, and enjoying the refreshing cool breeze.

Today, she, Li Qingzhao, and Youqin Mo Yan are sitting on a high platform surrounded by gauze tents. There are several goblets on the table, each with half a glass of red fruit wine, and several plates of plain fruits, but they are fresh fruits at the moment. , usually not available in the market.
