In order to fight against Wu Yue and Southern Tang, Suzhou merchants were not enough to just surrender to the Great Zhou, but also had enough armed forces. They did not lack young and strong people, but were weapons and armor, as well as experienced soldiers.

When he was a representative of the Chamber of Commerce, he found Ye Hua tremblingly and asked if he could provide some help. The representative of the Chamber of Commerce was nervous. He didn't know Ye Hua's attitude. However, he heard that King Qian Hongchu of Wu Yue sent his younger brother Qian Hongyi to the scene. He was disappointed and got nothing. They had no choice but to do it.

But Su Shang did not expect that Ye Hua warmly welcomed him and even brought out a procurement list drafted by himself.

To protect Suzhou City, at least 50,000 people are needed, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city need more food, as well as weapons, weapons, and ships.

Ye Hua gave them a suggestion to recruit local young and strong soldiers, and Dazhou provided 200 cavalry guards as instructors to help train young and strong soldiers and protect the city.

In addition, the Great Zhou provided 500,000 stones of grain, 10,000 pairs of armor, 100,000 weapons, and the most important thing was 200,000 barrels of gunpowder!

Such a huge amount makes the representative happy, and he is generous to the country!

He was about to thank him, but Ye Hua smiled and said, "These things are not expensive, they only cost three million yuan!"

What?

It actually requires money?

Do you still need so much money?

Su Shang has a rich family background, but he can't come up with so many!

Ye Hua smiled and said, "The King of Wu Yue is weak and incompetent, Li Hongji is eyeing him. If you are reluctant to pay for your own money, the two countries will send troops to destroy you. Don't talk about money at that time, you will have no life. But don't be afraid. My master has already thought about it. You only need to pay one million guan of cash for these three million guans, and the remaining guans will be compensated with silk." Seeing that the representative was still a little embarrassed, Ye Hua said generously: "In this way, I will contact you for a loan. In short, the Great Zhou will fully support the righteous act of the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce. Don't worry, you have whatever you want!"

...

When they returned from Ye Hua, the representatives of Su Shang were confused, but one thing was certain that he could still be sure that with the support of the Great Zhou, they would have hope of holding on. Let’s watch it, who knows what step it will develop?

Su Shang didn't know what to do, but after the orders of three million were released, many people understood.

Especially Lu Duosun, the envoy of the Three Division, and Zhao, the deputy envoy of the Three Division, handed over.

"Oh, what we are worried about is solved!"

It turned out that the Sansi had always been worried that the grain was low and the farmers were hurt, but the court could not spend much money to purchase grain. There was a reason why Lu Duosun went to grab Ren Tianxing's money.

But now when the order comes, the situation changes.

Although everyone cannot live without food, it is not too exaggerated to put a person's appetite there.

Usually, as long as five percent of the grain is more than five percent, the price will plummet, and once the food is less than five percent, it will surge exponentially.

There is no way, the people are most concerned about food, clothing, housing and transportation. If there is panic, it will inevitably expand. The truth is the same as robbing salt and houses in future generations.

Now that someone is purchasing, the shaky grain price immediately stabilized, and the capital city even saw about 10% rise.

Don’t underestimate this price increase. How much can farmers earn after working hard in a year?

Every year when autumn grain is on the market, the price will fall. The price of grain will not rise until the green and yellow grain is not supported. This year, the autumn grain will rise instead of falling.

The common people even felt reluctant to sell, holding the food and reluctant to take out the food.

Sansi is happy to see this result. This year is the first year of Qingzhangtian, which will allow the people to have a bumper harvest and increase their income, and will just smash all attacks on Qingzhangji.

It is not easy to manage a huge empire. It is exhausted and hard to endure it.

I couldn't think of a solution, but inadvertently I solved the problem. At least Sansi was excited, even happy.

Among these orders, the real big shot is the weapons. During this period, there was no big battle, and the training of the imperial guards was completed, and many of the ordnance workshops were stopped.

Although the work has been suspended, the court has to pay because these masters are treasures. Once they fight, they still need their hands!

Just like the mute man, there are many great craftsmen, who have the imperial court's crown and receive a salary every month.

No one can stand it if he doesn't work.

Now that the order is coming, the workshops are working day and night. Not only are the craftsmen busy, but they even have to recruit many young laborers. In this way, there are fewer idle young people on the market.

And they took their wages, bought things, and ate, and drove the surrounding markets.

The market is becoming more and more prosperous, and there are more people in the city, further pushing up grain prices, and even needing to close the warehouse and sell grain to stabilize prices... The originally deserted market has actually begun to become hot.

The more vigorous the economy is, the more taxes you will have. With money, it is easier to be the leader.

As the prime minister, Wei Renpu could strongly feel the idea of ​​seeking war, and was enthusiastic and unstoppable!

You know, those who liked to fight in the past were all martial artists. They wanted to make meritorious service and get married and children, but this time almost everyone was in charge of the war.

Especially the officials in charge of finance and taxation, their eyes were simply red.

Three million orders are too few?

How much more does Suzhou need? We will provide it with all our strength!

Such a big customer must not let something happen in Suzhou.

Didn’t I allocate one million ships some time ago, and add another 500,000 chunks to build the navy as soon as possible. With the navy, the troops can go to Jiangnan...

Crazy, all crazy!

The gentle civil servant became a rude war, and the literati, who was unreasonable, became proficient in calculating.

Wei Renpu kept shook his head. Why did he feel that Ye Hua's shadow was everywhere? Although this kid left Beijing, his clones were everywhere. Whether it was all kinds of discussions or opinions on the memorials, Wei Renpu could see Ye Hua's shadow. It was simply a ghost, possessed by the ghost!

What's going on?

Why did this Great Zhou become different in an instant?

Wei Renpu was furious and furious. He sat in the study for a while. The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he could only call his servant and call his son.

The father and son sat opposite each other, and Wei Renpu said distressedly: "You tell the truth to your father, why did the world suddenly change?"

Wei Xianmei couldn't help laughing when she looked at her father's distressed look.

"Dad, it's been changed a long time ago, you just didn't notice it!"

"Nonsense, is your father so slow?" Wei Renpu blamed him.

Wei Xianmei hurriedly lowered her head and remained silent.

Old Wei pondered for a moment, suddenly breathed a long breath, patted his thigh hard, and said furiously: "I understand, I understand!"

"Since the rectification of the administration last year, all the scholars were dismissed and a lot of new people were replaced. You kid is one of them!"

Wei Renpu pointed at his son with a strong point and gritted his teeth and said, "You are all trained by Ye Hua. They are all greedy and bold. For money, you can do anything! You are unscrupulous, you are unscrupulous!"

Wei Xianmei smiled and said, "Dad, is this your old compliment?"

"Praise you!"

Wei Renpu was so angry that he paced back and forth, and roared: "From ancient times, all dynasties have been Confucianism outside and law inside, why is this so? In a nutshell, relying on Confucianism's benevolence, righteousness and morality, it is impossible to govern the world, and there is no way to govern the nine provinces and all directions. But why have you promoted the virtues of sages and governed the country with Confucianism? Are the emperors, generals and ministers of all dynasties all fools? No, it is because wearing Confucian cloak can weaken people's hearts, embellish and cover up, and reduce trouble... It's better to be dirty when doing things, but you always have to find a suitable excuse? What are you doing? You don't even want this Confucian dress, you are completely shameless! Don't you feel cold?"

Lao Wei's words were really heartfelt, and he wouldn't even say anything when facing his son, he wouldn't have said it if he had another person.

After hearing this, Wei Xianmei only felt that her father was not a elm head! Don’t he quite understand this!

"Dad, I want me to say that it's not easy to find this thing!" Wei Xianmei smiled and said, "Suzhou businessmen are unbearable to exploitation. They raise the flag of righteousness and go to the country to help. This is a good thing!"

"Yes, but you make money with this matter and make a fortune. A gentleman is cautious in solitude, and a gentleman is cautious in solitude! Ask your conscience, what is the purpose of?" Wei Renpu asked with red eyes.

Wei Xianmei thought about it and said seriously: "Dad, we are for the Great Zhou Dynasty and the people under our rule!"

"you!"

Wei Renpu, who has always been eloquent, was speechless... Strangely, Old Wei was not too angry, but felt relieved.

Like them, they have read the books of sages and sages for their whole lives and talked about the ways of gentlemen for their whole lives. No matter whether they are willing to follow them seriously, they will still be subject to some constraints.

For example, making money in war is an unjust act. As a superior country, you should not do such things. Once you do it, how can you make the four barbarians truly surrender?

"Dad, when my son was in Youzhou, he also asked the Champion Hou, if we treat the Khitans as slaves, is it against the way of benevolence and forgiveness?"

"What did Ye Hua say?" Wei Renpu said in a muffled voice.

"The Marquis said that kindness and forgiveness are left to your own people. If you can't take good care of your own people first, how can others think that you are a kind and righteous person? Even your own people can sacrifice, let alone other people!"

"This...hum! Ye Hua's bastard has no other ability except for a single misunderstanding. He has been taught a good child, and he has also led to the good court atmosphere. He is really angry! "

Wei Renpu cursed for half an hour, and turned around and it was morning court again. Old Wei went to the Golden Palace with red eyes. Others were shocked and thought to himself, what happened to Mr. Wei, who secretly took a concubine last night?

Just as everyone was speculating, Wei Renpu suddenly stepped forward and said, "It is unusual for your Majesty to report to Suzhou. The old minister is willing to ask for an order to serve as an imperial envoy, go to Suzhou in person to comfort the people, so as to show the great grace of the emperor, and ask your Majesty to be approved!"
