Chapter 354 Starting from the blind felt (2)(1/2)

"Bachelor..." Chang Mingde's eyes glared, how could this be possible?

Zhao Xun ran back and asked, "Mr. Zheng, how should the last general fight?"

He wanted an army of 10,000 or 20,000. Zheng Lang waved his hand and gave him 30,000, which made him very happy. But he forgot one thing: he had no command power, and the number one commander of Jingyuan Road had not spoken yet.

Zheng Lang smiled and said, "I just came to Jingyuan and I don't know anything. Since you have been preparing to fight this battle, you should make some arrangements in your heart and make your own decisions. When you came, Mr. Song and Mr. Lu praised you. Don't let me down and my two husbands in Beijing."

"Here," Zhao Xun was even happier, for fear that these civil officials would be slapping their hands, so it would be best if Zheng Lang did not interfere.

Zheng Lang still smiled. You are not afraid of me pointing fingers. Although I don’t understand very well, I don’t know how to command randomly, but I am afraid that the future general will point fingers at you.

But looking at the energetic Zhao Xun, Zheng Lang still felt a little burdened.

Among the several brave generals who died in battle, if they carefully evaluated their strategies and measures, Wang Gui and Ren Fu were extremely brave, but their strategies were slightly lacking. Only Guo Zun could afford it.

Zhao Xun was the most regretful in the battle of Dingchuan Village. Moreover, he was not old and like Yang Wenguang, he had infinite room for growth. If he was trained properly and did not sacrifice in vain, there would be another famous general in the Song Dynasty in the future. What was the Song Dynasty most lacking? Poets, poets, poets, and civil officials, were not famous generals!

"I'm very reasonable, go."

"Thank you, Mr. Zheng."

Zhao Xun retreated again.

Only then did Zheng Lang and Chang Mingde tell him his plan.

There are two reasons why he is interested in this battle. He is blind and heartbroken to Xixia. He is always worried about this person behind him and must be defeated. Moreover, although Ma Wen and Dangliu are medium-sized tribes with more than a hundred tents, he often takes advantage of the territory. If it is not destroyed, the people in the territory will not be stable. It may also be used by Yuan Hao. This is a military reason.

The second is the Market Change Law.

In order to stabilize the price adjustment of supply and demand, Wang Anshi restricted the monopoly of profiteers, and took over the benefits that were previously attributed to big merchants to the official position, increased fiscal revenue, and implemented two laws, one was the equal-to-export method, and the other was the market change method.

The equal-transfer method was implemented earlier and not large in scale. It was only implemented in the sixth route in the southeast, and was limited to the supply of materials to Bianliang City. Later, Xue Xiang was transferred to the post, and the equal-transfer method was also suspended. Of course, the larger-scale market law has begun.

Wang Anshi's equal-to-transfer method is different from Sang Hongyang. Sang Hongyang's equal-to-transfer method is to distribute all tax tributes from various places into the most and cheapest goods in the local area. Shipping them to high-priced areas for sale is an official business that pursues trade profits, and the core is selling and profits. Wang Anshi's equal-to-transfer method is a government consumer purchasing activity that protects government consumption needs, saves expenses, and improves fiscal efficiency.

Later, many people criticized it, which was a misunderstanding. In fact, Wang Anshi's equal-transfer method is very mild.

What is not gentle is below.

Market Change Law.

Sima Guang overthrew everything, Wang Anshi sighed. Why was even the exemption law overturned?

The exemption method has its drawbacks, but the benign ones are far greater than the malignant ones. However, the Market Yi method and the Qingmiao method are purely two big horse hornet nests.

In a simple sentence, the government sets up institutions to directly collect and sell materials, participate in transactions, and stabilize market prices.

The specific practice is to set up a city office in Beijing, and a 21 city office worker at the border and in big cities. Then a senator (government-assigned) and supervisors, and an official (adopting law-abiding and cooperative businessmen). Sponsors and gangs serve as pedestrians and gangs for the gangs. Under the constraints of officials, foreign merchants sell goods to gangs, and pedestrians and gangs are fairly negotiating. If they are not needed, they will be saved and sold at the time. Merchants are allowed to borrow loans or make a credit, with an annual interest of 20%.

If done well, it will limit the control of the market by big merchants, which will help stabilize prices and commodity circulation and increase the government's fiscal revenue.

But can it be done well?

As a result, officials of the Municipal Yisi colluded with the powerful, and the big merchants had no control. On the contrary, many small and medium-sized merchants quickly went bankrupt. The treacherous officials took the power of the government and forced them to buy and sell at a low price. Farmers, handicraftsmen, and sideline growers were severely hit and the people were in poverty.

This is the main consequence, and there are many vicious consequences of side belts.

Therefore, all the Conservatives opposed it. Indeed, whether it is implemented in the government or in a country where officials are most corruption, it is also aimed at making money for the country. No matter what Wang Anshi thinks, it has brought heavy burdens to the people.

But nothing is absolute. If the market law is placed in a small range, officials will be clear-headed and have a group of capable people who can operate it. If they don’t have much selfishness, they will not have much conflict with the interests of the powerful and wealthy in the capital, and they will also see results.

For example, Wang Shao.

The market law defeated the new policy, but Wang Shao made it possible.

After Wang Shao came to the northwest, he implemented two policies. The first was to reclaim tens of thousands of hectares of wasteland between Weizhou and Qinzhou, and the second was to implement the Municipal Law.

Very familiar?

Yes, the old farmer was in Qingjian City, and the policies implemented in Huanzhou were very similar to this.

It depends on the human being. There is no problem in implementing the camp in the hands of the old farmer. Once he leaves, there are many problems, and even Fan Zhongyan said that he can't play. If you play again, don't fight against the Xixia people. The foreign tribes will immediately revolt.

There is no problem with the old generation, and there is no problem with Wang Shao, so it is very good.

The old generation's practice is also very similar to the market-Evolution Law, but the old generation does not have much capital in their hands. With the help of local big families, it is a joint venture and mutually beneficial practice. Wang Shao is the real market-Evolution Law. The ministers opposed it. There were no business in that place. There were many foreign people, Qiang people, and Xixia people, all of whom were eyeing each other. They usually had no money and went to rob them. Now there is so much money, which is not safe. Wang Anshi was speechless. That was as dangerous as you said. The local big landlords also knew how to accumulate wealth and were not afraid of looting. Besides, the court, wasn't the court as good as a landlord?

When it began to be implemented, Li Shizhong said that these lands were not wastelands, but archers' land, which was the fields given to archers by the court.

Some of them are yes, but most of them are indeed wastelands, or places where the Qiang people put their horses and cattle.

Song Shenzong sent people to investigate and came back to report that there was land, a hectares of land, and several landlords were suing for the ownership of this land.

The civil and military officials in the court were dumbfounded. As if there were large places, there was only one hectares of land? In recent years, they fought with Tubo and Xixia, and hundreds of thousands of people were fighting on a hectares of land. What kind of land is this?

Although it was fun, it had an effect. Wang Shaoxihe won a great victory. He said to the letter that I did not spend a penny on the court this time in the war, and it was all earned by me when I opened up wasteland and doing business.

Wen Yanbo did not believe that a major battle like the Xihe Battle would cost at least 5 million guan. The most cost was 10 million guan. But what kind of waste did you open or what kind of merchants you practiced? So he said that this was a craftsman who was building a house. First, it was very cheap and built halfway. All kinds of needs came out together. At that time, he had to build it, and only the amount was slaughtered. It seemed that the ancient and modern times had similar exchanges, and there were also such kind of businessmen in the Song Dynasty. Wang Shao's victory now is nothing more than that.

Song Shenzong was so angry that he won a battle and did not take out the country's treasury. He actually made you so unbearable. I asked him, my dear, will your house be broken and not repaired?

Wen Yanbo was speechless.

Of course, it had changed its nature at that time. The country was a big deal, and defeating the opponent was the most important thing. It became the mainstream at that time when he opened his eyes and told lies. He would not tell lies, so he would be eliminated.

But one thing is said, Wang Shao used the method of the market to achieve great success in the northwest.

Why did Lao Zong and Wang Shao succeed?

Zheng Lang didn’t understand before, how much hardship was in the northwest? What kind of wealth could he gain.

Later I realized that I was wrong.

For example, why did Zheng Lang think of bringing back the Jurchen horses from the sea? They were really cheap. Often, a few iron pots and a rough silk can be exchanged for a good horse.

The same is true in the northwest. It is often in a closed environment. Because of the endless war, merchants are timid and dare not come. The felt, medicinal materials, fur, livestock, etc. produced in the northwest cannot be transported out except for horses, and the prices are very low. The silk, tea, porcelain, and lacquerware produced in the Central Plains become very expensive because they cannot be transported in. Some copycats have never seen them in their lifetime. Not only will the court make money, but the local tribes are very grateful because of their complementary needs and lack of economic awareness and their money is earned.

And the market demand is huge, such as fur, before cotton became popular, it could be sold as much as it could.

This is the secret of Lao Zong and Wang Shao's success.

Jingyuan Road also has its own production, such as the Cincheon in Weizhou, which is famous nationwide, and the white felt of the Zhenrong Army. After all, the place is too small, only Weizhou, Jingzhou, Yuanzhou, Zhenrong Army, and Deshun Army. Therefore, Zheng Lang focused his attention on the Tubo people behind him. The Tubo people also had business. Qingtang City is very prosperous now, but in the end, it was near Qingtang City, and many areas were still very backward. Especially in the areas controlled by the blind felt, they had indifferent contact with the Song Dynasty and became enemies with his father.

Thinking of this pair of buddies, Zheng Lang thought of a saying, "I feel sorry for my parents in the world. In fact, I just silently see them splitting, which is equivalent to dividing the territory into three, one son, or they would have destroyed the two sons long ago. But the subordinates of Dawei and Dawei are not aware of it, so Dawei is in a state of isolation. Or doing business with the people of Xixia, is that possible? Until now, Yuan Hao is poorer than Dawei!

Whether this business can be done smoothly depends on whether Zhao Xun can show his power this time. As long as he shows his power, he will be afraid and surrender to the Song Dynasty, the business will be done. Moreover, once the business is completed, it will be mutually beneficial. The temporary blind feeling will not be random, and the two sides will be stuck together, and there will be no problem behind it.

If possible, join forces with Dawei next year to conquer Agan City.

Wang Shao didn't say it, and Agancheng couldn't say it, only talked about the old generation.

"It turns out... no wonder the scholar asked the court for three million stagnants of money before the future."

"It can only be said this. If you say it in advance, you may not agree until the court disputes are made. Even if you agree, you don't know how long it will take. It's better to say it. In folk words, it's called killing first and then reporting."

Chang Mingde cannot help but be happy.

"Helpless, for this battle, how hard the country is and how hard the people are..." Zheng Lang sighed.

In order to support this battle, I had to force recruit soldiers, and the recruitment ended up being arrested. Ouyang Xiu wrote a letter last year that there were many fertile lands in the west of Beijing, and the reason why people did not work hard to farm. This was automatically negligent. There was no special reason. The farmer was willing to waste his own land? In addition to disasters, he had no choice but to go out to flee. There were two other reasons: the heavy service fled and the soldiers fled, resulting in no farming in the fields. Nearly 1.3 million banned soldiers, according to the number of households registered by the Ministry of Revenue, almost 11 or 12 households were drawn, and they were too harsh.

The taxes were also started to increase, and the military was prosperous and the use was wider. In the past, the three envoys all had a generous tax and were extremely restrained. Even those who borrowed the in-house hiding to lead the rich to pay, and all the fruits and vegetables were increased. Now the taxes of Guanshi were invincible in ancient times. Lu fired, smuggled clams, and the benefits of every husband and wife were all charged.

This is the reign of Renzong, and the envoys of the Three Divisions were the Qing minister Ye Qing minister!

But in order to resist Yuan Hao's invasion, it is not allowed to do so. There are many descendants of Han people who are desperately praising the spirit of the Yuan Hao nationality. It is best to kill all the descendants and snatch them all, and divide them all together. That is the nationality!

Zheng Lang planned for a long time in Taipingzhou and Hangzhou, and everything he did was not only for this war. But half of the reason was to give the country more money and food to support the war.

But it is definitely not enough. Even if you give the court a 10 million yuan support a year during normal years, put it in a corner like the northwest?

Therefore, it is planned to implement Wang Shao's policy on Jingyuan Road.

With money rewards, it can stimulate the morale of the soldiers, and also provide national security funds and reduce the pressure on the people in the rear.

But as long as this battle is fought well, a large number of soldiers will be able to be used within 20 years and there will be a soldier to choose from within.

All this starts with the blind feeling.

"Bachelor, General Zhao defeated Ma Wen and the Dangliu Army, and even blind Wen dared not come to Weizhou."

"Why?"

"It's okay to seek peace. Although the bachelor's reputation is good, he is a Fanzi and may not be able to believe the bachelor's. He will be afraid of coming to Weizhou to ask the bachelor to detain him."

"He must come himself, and he will not be completely impressed if he doesn't come. So I not only let Zhao Xun lead 30,000 troops to fight and destroy, but also let Jingtai come and cover up the killing behind him. This battle must be heartbroken, and you see," Zheng Lang pointed to the map.

The area controlled by the blind medley is not large. His father is behind him. I won’t mention it, that is not his territory. In the future, if the young lady dies, he will leave it to his half-brother. The southeast is the territory of the Qiang people, and the northeast is the territory of the Song Dynasty.

"If the Mawu Dangliu and other departments are destroyed, it is only one step away from Kangu."

"It seems like there is still a long way."

This is a confusing account. Dangliu and Mawu live in the west of Longshan, at the junction of Deshunzhou and Qinzhou, and in the Wuchuan area.

There are many tribes nearby, including Guosdun, Dangliu Chen Kejie and other tribes (in Jingning territory), to the south, there are the kings, Duonas, Muning, Su Ye, Anjia and other tribes (in Zhuanglang, Qin'an territory), and the eight tribes in Yanmeng (in Huating territory) in the southeast.

It turned out that this place did not belong to the Song Dynasty. In the sixth year of Xianping, Cao Wei reported that the leader of Longshanxi, Tuo Bu and others, vowed to submit to the Song Dynasty. In the first year of Jingde, the three tribes of the Wang family, Li family, Yan family, outside Longshan, returned. In the third year of Jingde, the Eke Yan family in Weizhou led more than 3,000 accounts and more than 17,000 people, and offered countless cattle and horses to submit to the court. In the seventh year of Xiangfu, Cao Wei lured Guo to fight with Yansilu's uncle to reward the pills and sacrificed the city of Nanshi, and built Jingbian Village here. Since then, all the Shunde troops nominally surrendered to the Song Dynasty.

But in most of the middle areas, the Song Dynasty had limited control capabilities and was in a semi-limited state.

For example, although the Ma Si and Dangliu tribe were controlled by the Song Dynasty, they surrendered to the blind felt, and the Song Dynasty was unable to truly manage it.

The more this happens, the more Zheng Lang wants to attack this area.
