Chapter 996

"If this wine is sold on the market, it will probably cost 300 to 500 yuan per pound." Zong Ze was considering another question.

"It's just that since this kind of wine needs to be distilled repeatedly as Lord Xiao Wang said, it must consume a lot of food."

"Yes, this is why Wang doesn't want to make this kind of wine public. I have been quite rich in the Song Dynasty over the years, but in many places, many people have been unable to eat because of disasters."

"If this kind of strong wine is spread, I'm afraid there will definitely be many people who brew this wine privately for the sake of their appetite. At that time, the food consumed will be a very amazing number..." Wang Yang explained with a smile.

"So that's it..." Although Su Dongpo was a greedy and greedy foodie, at the same time, he was also a pillar of the country who was worried about the country and the people. After hearing this, he couldn't help but nodded deeply.

"That's a pity, but the good nephew's words are beneficial. He can't ignore the people because of his desire."

"Mr. Xiao Wang can still think about the people of the world at such a time, and the officials admire him..." Zong Ze couldn't help but look at Wang Yang with admiration.

"It is a blessing for Zong to be able to work with a talent like Lord Xiao Wang. If you were not Lord Xiao Wang, you would probably be as good as you would in this winter as the people of these three states. Every family has surplus food and every household has a warm kang."

"This is true. These cotton coats, cotton hats, cotton shoes and gloves have now become the most popular and popular items in Shaanxi." Su Dongpo nodded deeply in agreement, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, and smashed his mouth with a pleasant taste.

"By the way, I specially picked a few sets a few days ago and sent them to the capital to seek credit for you. Don't worry, I'm joking with you, and these things that benefit the country and the people should be promoted."

Wang Yang quickly bowed to Su Dongpo, picked up the wine glass and drank it himself, and said with some regret.

"My uncle is worried about the country and the people, and he is a model for us. Unfortunately, the cotton planting area nowadays is only most of the wastelands in Yanzhou and a small number of areas in Hongzhou. If cotton can be planted in these three states, it can at least solve the worries of most people in the northern part of our Song Dynasty for winter..."

"No hurry, it's only one year, and we have now occupied the six newly occupied lands. You have estimated that you didn't send someone to those three lands before, and at least you can add nearly three million acres of cotton fields.

If cotton is planted in these places, then next year, it will not only satisfy Shaanxi Road and nearby areas, but will even benefit more people in our Song Dynasty.”

"Before, Zong was still worried that after the war in these three states, it is likely that the lives of the people will become very miserable after a long period of war..."

"But I really didn't expect that because of these cotton, not only did the scene Zong expected in these three states, but it felt that this place was not like the frontier land after the war, but more like a prosperous county with prosperous trade."

"Mr. Zong, you are right. As long as there is a profit, there will always be a large number of merchants gathering. What's more, don't underestimate the six states that our Song Dynasty has newly occupied. This place is full of treasures." Wang Yang raised his eyebrows and added another spoonful of fine wine to Zong Ze.

"Although there are not many fertile lands in these six states, the aquatic plants are abundant, and there are also large wastelands suitable for grazing, such as cotton. In addition, there are very rich coal resources and a lot of iron ore underground. As for Yanzhou, let alone the salt produced can not only satisfy the entire Shaanxi Road, but also be sold to all places."

"And now cotton products have been improved, so the price has become very low. The cotton cloth is durable and close-fitting, or can be directly filled in the cloth to fill to protect the cold. Such a good product is naturally popular."

"So, the exchanges between merchants naturally led to the rapid development of inns in these three states, and naturally led to the rapid development of various industries such as catering, house rental, and coal heating. After all, only production can be produced and investment can be achieved if there is demand can be produced. In this way, these three states will naturally form a virtuous economic development cycle..."

Although Wang Yang drank a lot of wine, his mind was very clear and summarized the rapid development of these three states during this period in the most concise language.

"Mr. Xiao Wang, I have a reluctant request." Zong Ze picked up the wine glass and took a sip of it, and said a little embarrassedly.

Zong Ze was recommended by Wang Yang and Su Dongpo as the governor of Longzhou. Now many people in Xixia in Longzhou have moved to Xingqing Prefecture. The people in the city are only about 10,000 people who are unwilling to migrate and are originally Han people.

Nowadays, Longzhou is in a state of great development. Although Zong Ze, an old driver, is both civil and military, he still hopes to get guidance from these two bigwigs.

"Of course there is no problem with this. I actually suggest that you should deal with the land of Hongzhou according to our previous methods..." Wang Yang naturally did not hide his own personal information, and talked to Zongze in detail about how the three places of Yan, Yu, and Hong began to develop in the past.

Su Dongpo also intervened from time to time to comment. As for the Zhong Shidao next to him, he listened silently, constantly brushing his head, internal affairs +1+1...

This chat was almost over. The people who had already drunk half of them were already midnight. But after this chat, they chatted directly and the morning light was shining. The wind and snow outside had stopped, and these guys didn't know.

"It's dawn..." Just as Wu Qilang yawned, pushed open the door and walked into the iron stove to add coal, the veteran drivers who were chatting very excitedly realized.

After moving for a while, sitting a little stiff body all night, Zong Ze bowed to Wang Yang with conscience. "Listen to you, it is better to read for ten years. Mr. Wang, you are younger than your junior official, but your experience in governing the people is solid and rich. Even Zong, who has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, can only be ashamed..."

"It's a pity that if it were the three states of Yin, Shi and Long, it would be great if it could be under Lord Xiao Wang's rule. Then if Zong has something to do, he can ask Lord Xiao Wang for advice at any time..."

As soon as Zong Ze finished speaking, Su Dongpo next to him suddenly slapped the table, scaring his brothers and others almost turned over the wine glasses in their hands, and they all looked at the veteran driver who suddenly became rude with a confused look on his face.

Even Wu Qilang, who had just put the kettle on the iron stove, was so scared that the tongs fell directly to the ground. He didn't do anything to harm the world, right? Wu Qilang was confused and secretly speculated.
