Shao Yong is a master of Yixue, in other words, an old charlatan and a big liar.

He made a wide range of friends, from princes and nobles to peddlers and pawns to all kinds of friends. But to mention, the last friend he regrets to make was Tracy Feng!

This young master of the Cui family is knowledgeable and elegant. He is a famous descendant. He has strong financial resources and is impeccable in all aspects. But he only underestimates one thing, that is his ambition!

In fact, Shao Yong could see that this guy was an ambitious guy, but he didn't expect him to start so quickly, nor did he expect that he would lose so badly!

The bun who guarded Shao Yong was very loyal but also very silly. He knew that Shao Yong was the master of Yixue in the world, so he couldn't help asking him for advice. His words were full of worry and regret. Shao Yong figured out the whole story through a little bit.

At first, the Cui family was just afraid that Zhao Zhen would destroy their operations in the northwest, so they wanted to cause trouble and scare Zhao Zhen away.

As a result, Zhao Zhen took Wang Ning'an when he saw a move, but instead cut a fatal blow to the salt merchants in the northwest.

As the largest private salt businessman, the Cui family had to use the salt crisis to force the court, but was pushed back by Sima Guang. This time they inadvertently exposed their relationship with Xixia.

At this point, the court had already become murderous, and the Cui family had to fight back until they opened the dam and drowned 100,000 people... The matter became more and more troubled, completely beyond control. In the end, the heavens were angry and people were resentful and out of control.

Even the most loyal Baoziyan was stunned. He felt that his son was completely unreasonable and could not listen to any persuasion. He was like a crazy gambler. Even though he knew he was losing, he had to bet his only capital again and again. Baoziyan felt that he would not be surprised if he sold him next time.

...

"Mr. Yaofu!"

When Cui Xifeng came to Shao Yong's residence, Baozi's eyes quickly closed their misery and squeezed out a smile that was not much better than crying. But what he got was Cui Xifeng's angry gaze, which scared him so much that he crawled and left quickly.

Sitting opposite Shao Yong, Cui Xifeng suddenly burst out laughing and said arrogantly: "I won!"

Shao Yong remained silent and smiled faintly, "I want to congratulate you. Since the young master won, can I let you leave!"

"no!"

Trixifeng said viciously: "Mr. Yaofu, do you think I'm joking?"

"I dare not, but Mr. Cui takes me too seriously. I am just a savage in the world. Even if I have some reputation, I am just a deception of the world. If the young master wants to achieve the king's hegemony, what he needs is a talent that can be mastered by heaven and earth. I can't help the young master, and I don't want to mislead myself."

Cui Xifeng sneered repeatedly, "Mr. Yaofu still looks down on the Cui family. Why not tell you that the Song Dynasty is over!"

Seeing that Shao Yong was silent, Cui Xifeng had to continue, "This flood caused 100,000 people to drown, millions of people were extremely poor, 5 million people were homeless, and more than a dozen governments had no food to collect! I am afraid that there will be no such serious disaster since the founding of the Song Dynasty! How much financial resources can the court help so many victims? What's more, the flood has washed away many roads, and the road to advance to the Yongxing Army Road from Hebei has been broken, it's because I sent someone to break it!"

Cui Xifeng was like crazy and laughed to the sky, "As long as you wait for another month, the people will starve to death. At that time, I climbed the high ground and shouted, and the world responded. In an instant, the northwest was mine, and no one could stop it. Wang Ning'an and Sima Guang were not my opponent!"

He said it very proudly, but to Shao Yong heard that he was a little harsh and weak on the inside, and was so guilty. If you are really sure, why bother to find me, a wise man?

Poor night, I don’t ask the people about ghosts and gods!

This action alone reveals Trixifeng's guilt.

Seeing that Shao Yong was still silent, like a lump of wood, Trixifeng was really anxious.

"I'm the last name of Shao, I'll ask you, you must tell the truth!"

Shao Yong smiled calmly, "Mr. Cui, Shao is naturally in your hands, so he can speak everything. However, what Shao knows is limited, so he may not be able to help the young master."

Cui Xifeng didn't care about the second half, but said irritably: "I can't figure it out! From the beginning, I can't figure it out! Their actions were too unexpected. Didn't the Song Dynasty believe that the Han and the thieves are incompatible? How could they give Li Xixia? Didn't they always rebel against the people? Why did they let go? Didn't they share the world with the literati and officials? Why could Wang Ning'an let go of murder? Just now, news came that Zhao Zhen actually set up a trap and forced the gentry in Luoyang to give out tens of millions of yuan. Aren't they just bullying the people..." Cui Xifeng spoke faster and faster, the more angry he felt, and there was also fear and confusion.

He thought he had a lot of classics, history, and literature collections. He knew how many methods the court had. He also knew how great his ability he had.

He designed to let the Zhong family army be defeated and replaced by a timid emperor, he would choose to give up Luoyang, or at least postpone the movement of the capital.

If you obstruct the green salt in Western Xia, incite the fluctuations in salt prices, and instigate the censor to write a letter, the court will bow its head.

To incite public chaos, the court should take action and will never be merciless!

...

No matter what the court did according to the routine, he could continue to fan the flames, provoke conflicts between the gentry and the court, and arouse the anger of the people...

But this time the enemies he faced were completely different in style and never played according to his routine.

Now that the Cui family has used all the means to open the embankment, he will win no matter how much Cui Xifeng calculates, but he can't let it go, and he will even become more and more afraid and panic all day long... because he never knows how his opponent will play cards!

This feeling was so uncomfortable that it forced him to ask for advice from Shao Yong, hoping to get some inspiration from gods and ghosts.

"Mr. Yaofu, please make sure to help me calculate how big my chances of winning are?" Cui Xifeng stared at Shao Yong, breathing rapidly and his eyes were hot, like a crazy gambler.

Shao Yong is very wise. If he continues to pretend, this lunatic will kill him!

Shao Yong took out three copper coins, swayed in the delicate tortoise shell, fell on the palm of his hand, and rushed forward, twice in a row, all of which were the same!

Before Shao Yong could speak, Cui Xifeng slapped happily.

"Yuan Henry Zhen, the best man is good... Mr. Yaofu, is it God who is standing by my side?"

"God will do this, and the right way will go straight, so you will naturally be invincible!" Shao Yong said lightly, and Cui Xifeng was overjoyed and left happily.

Looking at his back, Shao Yong shook his head secretly. He put away the copper coins and sneered secretly.

Raising the price of salt, colluding with Xixia, digging open the embankment, and harming living creatures... The Cui family has been proud for too long. In your eyes, the people are just ants!

There is no right way to go straight, and I want God to bless you. It’s really a dream!

Shao Yong was forcibly detained by him when he visited Cui Xifeng.

Now that the Cui family is not far from dying, we must think of a strategy to escape... Shao Yong set his sights on the bun's eyes, perhaps opening a gap in his body, the old sage thought so.

...

The students trained by Wang Ning'an have some of his character. They are not people who can endure hardships and suffer without regrets, but they all know that when they should endure hardship, they must endure hardships! When they should pay, they must pay.

Moreover, they have learned the true teachings of Wang Ning'an and have a very clear understanding of the plan.

The establishment of Xijing Bank and the power of the bank to help the victims is a very dangerous behavior.

Banks pay attention to interests, while disaster relief is a loss-making business.

If the handling is not done well and you lose all tens of millions of yuan, you can't make any money, then you will completely offend the gentry and bureaucrats in Luoyang. On the contrary, you just want to make money, exploit the victims, and force them to a dead end. Even if there is no Cui family in trouble, a big deal will happen... From the beginning, everyone did not regard the Cui family as their real opponent, because they overestimate themselves!

As the first disaster relief project, it is the Imperial Street opposite the palace. Wang Ning'an developed it in Kaifeng and has now been basically completed. Although the capital has been moved to Luoyang, Kaifeng is still the center of the world and a commercial hub with materials.

The land prices in Yujie have soared by 5 times, with bulk transactions, horse racing, finance, logistics, and other industries bringing tens of millions of taxes every year.

With pearls and jade in front, Luoyang can handle it accordingly. Moreover, with cement, the cost of building a large-scale construction in Luoyang is even lower.

The first batch recruited 200,000 young and strong men to participate in the Imperial Street Project, each person could receive 500 entries per month, and the imperial court and Xijing Bank provided two meals a day.

In the year of a disaster, even if you have no money, just being able to eat enough is enough to attract countless people.

200,000 people were recruited in less than half a month.

The next step is to rebuild the river embankment, which is also an undiscussed matter. Local taxes provide guarantees and open the Changping warehouse. Each laborer can receive 2 kilograms of grain a day, and after working for half a month, he will pay 100 cents.

To be honest, this little money is really pitifully small, but for the people, they are already very satisfied and satisfied. The construction of the dike is for their own good, and even if it is in vain, it is still the right thing to do.

The third item is to build a road.

With the experience of Pingxian and Youzhou, even the most confused Dasu knows how to operate it.

First, we need to examine the property situation of each county, then estimate the number of merchants in the future, and calculate the taxes that a road can bring.

Use tax as collateral to make a loan from Xijing Bank.

Do what you can and live within your means.

I must not dare to invest, nor can I learn from Qin Shihuang and Emperor Yang of Sui, and over-invest...

About one month after the disaster, various projects were launched one after another, attracting a total of 1.3 million victims.

Moreover, as various projects are launched, cement workshops need manpower, quarries need manpower, wood factories need manpower, chariots and horse carriages need manpower, and workshops that make horse carriages need manpower...

With so many workers, there are restaurants that need to eat, bathhouses that need to bathe, clothing shops, straw sandals, fruits and breakfast...

Investment projects first drive manufacturing, and then drive service industry...the number of employed people increases in geometric multiples.

After some trouble, the northwest not only did not have the decline of people's livelihood and the hardships, but instead revealed a slight thriving... Even though everyone is still poor, they can only eat half full, and some people are hungry on the construction site... But it doesn't matter, because they have seen hope.
