Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 566 The right to know Hangzhou military affairs 12
Fei Su frowned, and said with a teasing smile: "Uncle Ji, why did you say that? The imperial court did not disdain merchants, and now the imperial court is advocating industry and commerce. To do so, it must be the Bowanghou of the South China Sea!"

"Brother's reputation..."

The three of them chatted here and there for a long time without a single topic, but they definitely got to the point. They were just quoting each other's words. Liu Renfeng and Fei Su knew that Wu Xuan must ask for something when he visits. If you can bear it, then bear it. Anyway, we Not urgent.

Wu Xuan held back for a while, and finally couldn't help it anymore, and said: "I'm here today, and I have one more thing, I want to ask the two senior brothers."

Fei Su smiled secretly, this guy is really impatient, if you have something to say, you should say it, why are you dawdling and wasting everyone's time.

Liu Renfeng smiled lightly, and said playfully, "Oh, Uncle Ji, but it's okay to say."

"I heard that Uncle Wang traded money and food in exchange for salt and tea for three years. Although the younger brother's family is not rich, he persuaded my father to dissipate the wealth and respond to Uncle Wang's government. I just know that my financial resources are limited, so I want to ask the two elder brothers to talk about love. I don’t know what to do with Zixi Salt Farm’s exclusive leasehold.” Wu Xuan was not completely sure, after all, his boss had passed away, and his cousin was not close to him.

Liu Renfeng raised his brows slightly, and Wu Xuan said loudly, Zixi Salt Field is the largest salt field in Hangzhou, and he actually wanted to swallow it in one gulp.

Fei Su also took a deep breath. He thought of the Maritime Safety Administration more than Liu Renfeng. The Wu family has the financial resources to swallow the Zixi Salt Farm, which will definitely expand their financial resources, which will be more beneficial to overseas trade.However, this favor is not easy to help, Wang Xiu is not willing to dominate the family, the truth is that everyone earns money. , there is no need to offend the Liangzhe Road clan for the sake of the Wu family.

Seeing that Fei Su was silent, Liu Renfeng understood what was going on. This was not a good job to do, and he couldn't watch the fun. He said, "Mr. is recruiting businessmen from all over the world. Uncle Ji will go directly to the state office. I think Mr. will be accommodating."

Not to mention that Wang Xiu is unlikely to agree to buy out a salt farm, even those Liangzhe Road businessmen will not let it go. He is not good at franchises, and his political acumen is no less than Fei Su.

Of course, Wu Xuan is not a fool, he has no right to decide such a large expenditure, it must be decided by his father.

Today, he just went to the front station to hear the news, went through Wang Xiu's disciples to get acquainted, based on the friendship between Wu Min and Wang Xiu, and the face of Wu Ge and Wu Lun, plus the help of Liu Renfeng and Fei Su, to see if he could do it. Get the largest Zixi Salt Field in Hangzhou at the lowest cost.

The Zixi Salt Farm is very important to the Wu family, and it is also very important to Wu Xuan. It is related to his status among the younger generations. It is well run and allows the Wu family to obtain the greatest benefits at the lowest cost. He will be valued by the elders and given priority in training. , Occupy the advantageous position of seizing the patriarch.

Hey, there is no way, just like the Shen family, the family is too big and has big troubles, too many younger generations, too many monks and too little food, it is impossible for everyone to be fully trained, only recognized elites can get the tilt of family resources.

Liu Renfeng and Fei Su's ambiguous attitudes made Wu Xuanchen unsure, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "How can a small person in the lower district come into Wang Shishu's eyes, and I hope that the two elder brothers will be perfect. I am very grateful."

Liu Renfeng has never seen such a thick-skinned person, and his friendship is not deep, but he sticks to his old face. If it weren't for the old prime minister Wu Min, he would have refused a long time ago, and couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "It's okay to report on your behalf, but the matter is very important, sir. You have to go there yourself."

Wu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief, and finally got the promise. It is better than nothing. As long as Liu Renfeng and Fei Su say a word, it is as cheeky as him to run ten times. He smiled and said: "I ordered a table of water and wine outside, please The two elder brothers must appreciate it, let us have a good drink."

"This..." Liu Renfeng hesitated a bit, his cannibalism is short!
"Uncle Ji is polite, it's better to obey than to be respectful." Fei Su agreed with a smile.

Seeing Fei Su's carelessness, Liu Renfeng couldn't help frowning slightly, not understanding what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd, but he didn't say anything more.

Yuquan Mountain

Wang Xiu accompanied Li Qing to take care of the construction of the academy. Facing the hot scene like tea, as well as the red bricks and cement, Li Qingzhao couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion.

"My lord is very skilled. Red brick cement is indeed better than blue brick and bluestone!"

Wang Xiu is very proud. Although cement is earthen cement, it is more than enough for paving paths or pouring foundations. As long as cement appears, someone will continue to improve the following things, and the quality will continue to improve, so he doesn't need to worry about it!As for the red bricks, it is easier to handle. A lot can be fired in one kiln, and it can save a lot of money by firing it yourself.

It's true that he is rich, but he can't spend it indiscriminately, right?
"The head of the house has said it before. What is my ability? It is clearly the pioneering work of the students. I just sit back and enjoy the success and gain a false name."

"Sir, is the courtyard of the Nvzhai too big?" Li Qingzhao looked at the Nvzhai, which covers an area of ​​150 mu, and couldn't help being a little worried, how many people would it take to live there.

Wang Xiu shook her head and said with a smile: "The women's studio is originally a system. If the head of the house wants to become the dean, maybe he can become the head of the mountain. Besides, there are not many girls now, so it will be hard to say in the future. The little ladies can't be with them. Just like the boys, each of them lives in a room, so it's easy to move around."

"My husband is still considerate." Li Qingzhao naturally understood that Wang Xiu hadn't finished speaking, but considering the girl's privacy, she was quite moved. What surprised her most was Shan Chang's theory. It seems that Wang Xiu had a lot of plans .

Indeed, Wang Xiu had the idea of ​​starting a women's academy. He didn't achieve it overnight, but adopted the method of starting from a women's studio to a women's academy to gradually train women.

His plan is very simple. To train high-level female talents is also very simple. To carry out polarized training, to train future wives for scholar-bureaucrats, to form bureaucratic wives who are knowledgeable and sensible, to form women's political groups, and to be academies. The class of bureaucratic wives contributes to the centripetal force of the entire bureaucratic group.

And most importantly, it is a bit delusional to cultivate technological female talents, but it is absolutely realistic. Some women who are not willing to be vassals can learn knowledge and eventually achieve fame by themselves.

Now, there is still a certain soil for women to be independent, and Neo Confucianism has not finally achieved great success. He directly uses the improved version of Xinxue to attack. The college is the soil for the improved version of Xinxue to develop and grow. The women's studio and even the women's courtyard are the weapons to reverse the social trend of thought. , I don't know if it will be successful, but he doesn't want to do it.

"The burden of the head of the house is not light. There are more than 300 girls who need to be managed. The head of the house still doesn't have to save me money. Someone will pay anyway."

Li Qingzhao gouged out Wang Xiu's eyes, and said with a smile: "Master is a good planner, you can earn a lot of money by extracting salt from sea water, let the merchants pay, and the government will enjoy the benefits."

"Well, the private government is the right way. The bidding will be held tomorrow, and the knife has been sharpened!" Wang Xiu said with a faint smile.
