Chapter 249 Kill a group of monkeys

Yu Jing and Su Xun were both suspicious of letting a group of Qiubaguans to farm, but according to Wang Ning'an's successful history in the past, they decided to believe him and give it a try.

After just experimenting, they discovered something unusual.

First of all, where is Lingnan?

Since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, what criminals, corrupt officials, are all sent to you? After a hundred years of reproduction, to put it bluntly, this place has become a scumbag concentration camp.

You can't suppress the situation at all when you send a kind-hearted official. The same is true in the local area. Just looking for good people, who will do your business? Not to mention other things, there are many gentry landlords in the local area, and many ship bosses holding a large group of sailors. This is the captain of the times. There is a sea merchant in front and a pirate in the back. They are all outlaws and cruel people.

If you want to open a wedge between them, without two brushes, that is absolutely not possible.

These men in the army were born with evil spirits and were simply unaware of people. All evil people retreated and quickly completed the land occupation, and the manors began to take shape.

The next step is to distribute the population. The hundreds of thousands of people that Nong Zhigao plundered, except for a small number of Han people, the rest were tribe members around Guangyuan.

At this time, there was no national concept at all. Anyone who could use it for convenience. In order to compete with the Song Dynasty, Nong Zhigao urgently needed more military expenditures, but he offended Wei, Huang and Zhou San from Guangyuan. These people were dependent on Nong Zhigao on the surface, but secretly stumbling, pulling their backs, and even informing the government army and guiding the way. The result was that Nong Zhigao was quickly defeated.

But he failed, but these hundreds of thousands of people had to deal with it. If he continued to stay and dig gold mines, it would be difficult to ensure that no one would incite them to make trouble.

Therefore, Wang Ning'an decisively ordered them to be arranged to enter the farm.

Each military farm has about two or three hundred people arranged, which is different from the previous landlords and tenants. The military farm is commercialized, and the rice and sugar they produce are transported to the north for sale. At the same time, Pingxian has to transport daily necessities and agricultural tools.

In this way, every soldier earns not a fixed land rent, but floating currency, selling one hundred guan, ten guan, one hundred and fifteen guan.

In short, the relationship between soldiers and ordinary farmers is no longer an opposing relationship, but rather a community of interests, which prospers and all lose.

This concept was repeatedly emphasized by Wang Ning'an. He even ordered several lecturers from the Business School to be invited from Liuyi Academy to explain new concepts to them.

Ask soldiers to regard the tenant farmers as their subordinates and brothers fighting with them, and enjoy the blessings and difficulties. Don’t always think about squeezing benefits from them, and think about earning them more benefits so that you can get more.

...

Wang Ning'an made such arrangements, and hoped that these military farms could impact the tenancy system for one or two thousand years, and tore a hole from the weakest and most open Lingnan.

After solving these people, the remaining troubles were the gold mine left by Nong Zhigao and the remaining bandits in the 100,000 mountains.

Di Qing was very worried. It was true that the Western Army was very powerful, but it was too embarrassing to enter the mountains and play hide-and-seek like a monkey.

But we can't ignore it. Nong Zhigao's life and death are uncertain. In the past few months, there were three places where Nong Zhigao was alive, gathering his troops again, and fighting with the Song Dynasty.

As a result, when I sent troops to see, they were all fake.

But even so, I was scared and sweated.

"If you want me to tell me, this is not difficult to handle. We are not good at it. If someone is good at it, just leave it to them."

After working with Wang Ning'an for some time, Di Qing's brain became flexible. He smiled and said, "What Erlang is talking about using the locals to control the barbarians?"

Wang Ning'an nodded.

Di Qing hesitated a little, "Erlang, these locals are not easy to deal with, they are all very cunning. I have sent invitations to Wei, Huang, and the three families on Sunday, hoping that they will go to Yongzhou to discuss the matter of surrender. As a result, all three families refused. It is not good to kill, nor is it easy to let go. I am worried!"

"Hahaha, Grandmaster, you're still too honest." Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "These people are all the masters who don't show off their eagles. If you want to call them up, it's nonsense."

Di Qing's eyes lit up, "Does Erlang have an idea to say so?"

"I dare not say there is one. We might as well throw out the gold mine as a bait, so we will not have to worry about not having big fish on the bait."

What abacus did Wang Ning'an play?

He asked someone to inform these three families that the Wang Shi was going to withdraw, and the gold mine in Guangyuan was left to the locals. As long as you pay 300 taels of gold to the court every year, you can have the right to mine the gold mine and continue to retain the gold mine.

Moreover, whoever owns the gold mine and whoever pays the gold will have the power to trade with the Song Dynasty and can purchase various materials from the Song Dynasty at a preferential price.

It has to be said that as the largest economy in the world, the commercial advantages of the Song Dynasty were simply crushing, and even the Liao Kingdom could not resist it, let alone a few native leaders.

When the news came, they ran to Yongzhou happily.

After a tense battle, the Wei family, the second largest family behind the Nong family, finally obtained mining power and could trade with the Song Dynasty.

The Wei family was very excited and sent 300 taels of gold to the government the next day, for fear that the Song Dynasty would repent.

"Can they be unhappy? If they have to mine the gold mine in Guangyuan with all their efforts, they will have seven or eight hundred taels a year, or even one thousand taels. If they give it to the Song Dynasty 300 taels, they can still make 70% of the profits. In addition, they will be trading with the Song Dynasty, and it won't take long to be another Nong Zhigao!"

Zhao Zongjing sighed and said, Wang Ning'an put down the abalone the size of a slap in his hand and laughed, "It's rare, is the ignorant Prince Zhao actually smart?"

"I'm not stupid at first, yes, you're too cunning!" Zhao Zongjing said curiously: "I said Erlang, have you hidden some tricks to deal with the Wei family? Otherwise, wouldn't you watch them grow bigger!"

Wang Ning'an laughed, "You are getting smarter now. Little Prince, what do you think the Wei family wants to trade with the Song Dynasty?"

"You need money!"

Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "That's right. The Song Dynasty did not circulate gold. If he wanted to trade, he had to exchange gold for copper coins first."

Zhao Zongjing was shocked, "Erlang, you don't want to lower the gold price and make a big profit, right?"

"What do you think!" Wang Ning'an blamed: "Am I such a person? Not only did I not lower the price of gold, but I also mentioned 20%. How about it, am I kind-hearted?"

"No, no, no..." Zhao Zongjing learned about this guy Wang Ning'an's virtue. The more he treats you, the more secret he has. Let me think about it carefully, what kind of abacus he is doing?

If the price of gold is raised, the Wei family will definitely hold gold in their hands and exchange more copper coins. The copper coins they exchanged will also buy supplies from the Song Dynasty. But will this cause the copper coins to flow out?

This is the most worrying thing in the officialdom of the Song Dynasty... How could Wang Ning'an make such a mistake? What is his plan?

Zhao Zongjing thought hard, and suddenly his eyes shone.

"I understand, it's because of interest from deposits! You are going to use the money shop to attract copper coins back. In this way, the gold in the Wei family's hands is gone, there is no copper coins, and only the numbers in the money shop are left!"

Zhao Zongjing smiled and pointed at Wang Ning'an's head, "Bad, so bad!"

Wang Ning'an sneered: "I'm not broken. As long as the Wei family doesn't want to rebel against the Song Dynasty, the money he has in the money house can naturally be used. If he has a strange intention, he deserves it if he is confiscated, right?"

Zhao Zongjing shook his head, "Whatever you say is right, I will ask you one thing, how much gold can you get every year?"

...

In fact, Zhao Zongjing has not fully seen through Wang Ning'an's plan. First of all, since the Song Dynasty did not circulate gold, he had to go to the government to exchange gold. However, the government did not care about trade, and business must be done through money houses and commercial banks.

This has resulted in a result. If the Wei family wants to buy things from the Song Dynasty, they have to pay gold. However, if the Song Dynasty buys local local products, they only need copper coins.

Someone is asking, can the Wei family also use copper coins to pay? This is true, but don’t forget that using gold to exchange copper coins will have a premium of 20%.

Driven by interests, it goes without saying how you choose!

According to Wang Ning'an's estimate, most of the gold of the Wei family would flow into the hands of the Song Dynasty. With other means, it would be not difficult to earn 1,000 taels per year.

"You can use this gold to please you!"

Wang Ning'an patted Zhao Zongjing on the shoulder and walked out with a smile.

As soon as he came out, he saw a war horse galloping past and running far away. The horse came back with a circle and jumped off from it. It was Li Wuji.

"I'm paying homage to you."

"Don't do so many false gifts, what happened again?"

Li Wuji smiled and said, "You can't hide anything from you. We just fought a war."

"Oh? Is it the remnant of Honon Chigao?"

"No, it's a bunch of monkeys!"

Wang Ning'an glared at his eyes, "You're happy with me, is the monkey worth fighting?"

Li Wuji hurriedly said, "Sir, don't get me wrong. It's a group of guys about the same age as monkeys." He said, and compared his waist, and he was about to get there.

Wang Ning'an snorted, "Take me to see."

After leaving Yongzhou, Wang Ning'an ran all the way, running all over his body covered in sweat. At dusk, he finally arrived at a messy battlefield. His father Wang Liangjing stood on the spot with a horse spear, directing the cleaning of the corpse.

What a good guy, he looks like two or three thousand, and they are all piled up into small hills. When he approaches, he looks like a half-year-old child. His face is dark, his cheekbones are protruding, his chin is also very flat, and he looks like a monkey.

"Dad, what's going on? Where did they come out?"

Wang Liangjing took a big stroll and explained: "We received a report from the natives that a group of people plundered and killed in their village, so I brought the soldiers here. After a while, they were almost all left behind. I just interrogated several prisoners, and they came from Jiaozhi. It seemed that they wanted to take advantage of the situation and didn't look at what they were, and they were looking for death!"
