If only one person can survive in the world, then the probability of Wen Xianggong's survival is definitely far higher than that of Wang Ning'an!

The old guy is like a chameleon. No matter where he goes, he can adapt quickly and find his position. Then he lives comfortably and accumulates energy. When he accumulates enough, he will make trouble and turn against others. What kind of shame and integrity have long sold Wen Xianggong.

Take Wang Ning'an for example. He shook his head while drinking the weird tea, feeling it was difficult to swallow. Wen Yanbo smiled happily and talked with Wang Ning'an about business opportunities. If he could bring the top tea from Jiangnan and Bashu to the northwest, he would definitely be sold at a good price.

Before he knew it, Lao Wen had become a businessman full of stinking, looking at problems from the perspective of a businessman everywhere.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with this.

To govern the northwest, we must first straighten out commercial activities.

With exchange, there is taxation, with taxation, you can raise soldiers, and with soldiers, you can establish order... This is what a king should do.

Wang Ning'an did not rush to attack Liangzhou because the merchants from the Western Regions had already sent the news.

Murong Qingchen and the others were very lucky. Xizhi's 100,000 troops attacked Pu Changhai. Perhaps Xizhi felt that the food from the Song people would fall into their hands, so he did not destroy hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land by the Pu Changhai.

According to Murong Qingchen's calculations, it is not a lot to be able to harvest 300,000 stones of grain this year, but it is enough for Pu Changhai's men to eat for two years.

Wang Shao took advantage of the summer to send three groups of Han people to the Western Regions. In this way, more than 50,000 Han people lived around Puchanghai, and nearly 100,000 prisoners and Uighurs. This place has become a relatively large settlement in the Western Regions, second only to Yili.

Wang Ning'an made a preliminary estimate that with Murong's strength, he could protect himself, so he did not need to overdraw the national strength of the Song Dynasty and force the border.

Therefore, you can use one or two years to straighten out the situation in the northwest, accumulate enough strength, and then conquer Liangzhou and take down your own fiefdom.

Wang Ning'an only asked Yang Wenguang for 15,000 people, including 10,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, which were enough to defend Lanzhou.

Yang Wenguang hopes that his son-in-law will bring more people and know that his precious daughter and even more precious grandson are all in the army!

The Yang family passed down to Yang Huaiyu's generation, and there were no talents, especially Yang Huaiyu's wife gave birth to four daughters in a row, which made Yang Wenguang so angry.

There is a saying among ordinary people that it is said that the stolen cannot enter the door of the five girls!

What's the meaning?

That is to say, if the family has five daughters and not even one son, it is just unlucky and has no cure to save. Even thieves are unwilling to steal your family’s money, for fear of being unlucky!

Congratulations to Yang Huaiyu, only one is missing to achieve great achievements!

Yang Wenguang was so angry that Yang Huaiyu was even more stubborn. He had a good relationship with his wife, and he was more caring with his daughter! He did not take a concubine or had sex with his maid, but he just hanged himself from a tree, which made Yang Wenguang have no choice.

The old man had to put his ideas on Gou Yaer and Xiao Tong. It really didn't work, so he snatched a grandson to inherit the door. Anyway, these two kids are quite likable.

Yang Wenguang sent the most elite 500 Yang family corps, all of which were handed over to Gou Yaer and Xiao Tong, with the intention being self-evident.

Wang Ning'an could only say twice about his father-in-law's open poaching behavior!

I have the idea that you can fight casually, but it’s my son, so I can still run away!

Wang Ning'an's energy was still focused on regulating business and making the economy run normally. He was about to do a serious business, but there was a big stir on Wen Yanbo's side.

Our husband Wen investigated the market for a few days, then decisively took action and arrested twelve Song Shangs.

Wen Yanbo announced their crimes in public, such as using inferior products as good ones, trading fraud, selling counterfeit goods, seriously disrupting the business order, damaging the interests of merchants from all parties, and corrupting the reputation of the Song Dynasty... Lao Wen immediately ordered, demanding a decree!

This matter suddenly became a big deal.

The merchants of the Song Dynasty stopped doing it!

You Wen Yanbo is mentally ill. If the fools in the Western Regions don’t lie to them, who will you be fooled? Which side do you Wen Yanbo stand on? Why are you looking to outsiders?

Many businessmen found Wang Ning'an angrily and begged the prince to take action to save the lives of these poor companions.

Of course, Wang Ning'an was furious. He found Wen Yanbo, but Mr. Wen ignored Wang Ning'an at all.

How about you being the prince?

Business matters belong to civil affairs and are my power. If you are not convinced, let’s go to the imperial court to sue!

Wang Ning'an had a fierce quarrel with Wen Yanbo, and the two officials, Wen and Wu, almost fought. In the end, Wen Yanbo executed two of them, and the other ten, and his property was confiscated and expelled from Lanzhou. They were never allowed to come to do business.

Wen Xianggong's decisive move shocked the chaotic market. Whether it was the Song Shang, the Western Regions merchants, or even the Dashi merchants, they were all shocked.

Immediately, Wen Yanbo set up a special market and arranged personnel and soldiers to go to guard.

In the market trading center, there are many brands that list the mainland prices and border prices of the goods, and a guide price is issued.

If the guide price is severely deviated, the transaction can be invalidated.

For example, a piece of silk is 10 guan in the mainland and 20 guan in the border area. In the market, the guide price is usually slightly lower than the border area price, and is set at about 18 guan.

Obviously, this measure greatly protected the interests of Hu merchants in the Western Regions. It made the bearded men cry. They finally saw the style of civil officials in the Song Dynasty. They were indeed selfless and upright. They treated everyone equally, even outsiders, and were so considerate.

Soon, all Hu merchants took the initiative to register and traded in the trading center.

Although they have to pay one-tenth of transaction tax, the advantage lies in the fair price and the quality of the goods, they are simply unlucky.

Of course, only a few people can see clearly Wen Yanbo's trick.

For example, in terms of price, the prices of border land are also divided into many types. Is the selling price of Hengshan the same as Youzhou? Is the selling price of Qinzhou the same as Yan'an Prefecture? And at different times, the prices are also different because the supply of goods is unstable.

Wen Yanbo chose the most expensive place and the most expensive time period, so the price of the border land marked is not the price that the merchants of the Song Dynasty could sell.

In fact, the guide price has far exceeded the average price of silk.

The merchants of the Song Dynasty have made a lot of money.

Wen Yanbo also stipulated that all transactions must be made of Jiaozi from the Song Dynasty. In this way, the gold and silver brought by merchants in the Western Regions must be exchanged for the Jianzi first.

Of course, Mr. Wen will not let the guests suffer losses.

But behind the seemingly fair price, the trading center quickly accumulates precious metals. With precious metals as a guarantee, more Jiaozi can be issued.

Then he used exquisite paper to purchase goods from the Western Regions... Wang Ning'an only made a few words on demand for this business scripture, and Wen Yanbo understood it, which was really clever.

This also has something to do with running Xijing Bank. After all, Wen Xianggong has gradually moved away from traditional scholars, and he has understood the rules of financial business games.

Playing well and making money.

In less than a month, Wen Yanbo put 100,000 yuan into his pocket and took a few valuable pieces of land.

If this continues, it will not take long to accumulate a lot of wealth. If the Hexi Corridor is opened, you may be able to earn more!

In addition, the copper standard was implemented in the Song Dynasty. To be honest, the value of copper is still too low. To buy a piece of silk, you have to use copper coins five times the weight of silk to buy it, which is very troublesome.

If you can issue silver coins or gold coins, then you will make a lot of money!

My husband Wen’s eyes were filled with golden stars.

He immediately sent a letter to his son Wen Jifu. Seeing that your father was suffering, he didn't come to the northwest and stayed in Luoyang to enjoy it. Do you want to rebel?

Wen Yanbo started scolding in the letter. The brat, hurry up and discuss the plan to make a fortune together. If you dare not come, I will not recognize this son!!

After sending the letter, Wen Yanbo felt that he lacked helpers around him, and he was not exhausted even if he relied on himself!

After thinking about it, he went to find the old man from Qiyingshe.

These people have no other skills, but their administrative talents are still very good. After decades of experience, who is not a talented person? Wen Yanbo first found Song Xiang's home.

Several people from Qiyingshe were all sent to the house. They had no mansion to live in. The Song Xiang family squeezed into a quadrilateral courtyard.

The room was dark and cramped, and the surrounding sewage was flowing. The neighbors were all kinds of religions and had everyone.

How could Mr. Song suffer this crime?

Since moving in, he has never stepped out of the yard for a while. He has been flipping through his box of books all day long, and it has almost broken.

Today, Mr. Song couldn't stand it anymore. The reason was very simple. After a while, he didn't eat yet and wanted to starve me to death! I finally got used to the crude food. I had no choice but to ask for anything else. Why can't I even get the most basic food and clothing?

Song Xiang hummed out angrily, but he happened to see his old wife and two daughters-in-law crying against each other.

"Why are you crying? Why don't you cook? Want to starve to death?"

He yelled twice, and the lady was full of anger and couldn't help but burst out.

"Master, do you think you are the retired minister? You are the prisoner who was sent to the prisoner! There is still food on the way. It has been a month since I arrived in Lanzhou, and the court has stopped distributing food!"

"What?"

Song Xiang widened his eyes and roared, "Don't you give me food? Can't they starve me to death? Then, where do we eat food these days?"

"You only know how to ask? Our family, our family also needs to be pawned!"

The lady covered her face, cried bitterly, and ran into the room next to her in shame. At this time, Song Xiang's son came back from outside, and even pulled her long and as if she had eaten bitter melon.

"Dad, forgive me for being incompetent, I don't want this thing!"

The son held two jade hairpins in his hand and sent them to his father.

Song Xiang was stunned, "Why no one wants it? This is the best Han jade, chicken bones are white, and in the capital, there are at least a few hundred coins!"

The son had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Dad, there are not many things in the Western Regions, but there are many jade and agate, all over the streets. If we had known, we would have brought more gold and silverware to come over. Even if a porcelain plate or tea cup from the official kiln could be exchanged for food... Son, my son really has no choice!"
Chapter completed!
