Wang Shao said: "They figured it out, the people of Shaanxi are really suffering. They have to participate in transportation, transportation, military service and combat."

Su You also shook his head: "The soldiers are not trained but the people are restless. The most difficult situation is in Hebei, and there are also floods... What is the use of stabbing the people into soldiers? Didn't the previous dynasty have similar lessons in Hedong and Hebei? Organized two

A hundred thousand peasant troops were dispersed before they even left the city gate."

Wang Shao breathed a sigh of relief: "It's not that bad. Xiangyong is given two liters of rice per day and three hundred pickles per month. It's already very thin. How many can he really get? Shaanxi military and political officials have gained a lot of weight because of this.

.”

Su You said: "Well, let's do what we can first. How is the collection of mountain and river maps going?"

Wang Shao's mood suddenly became better: "The map collection went very smoothly. After the graphics were drawn, I found a good place for my brother! I was about to discuss it with Mingrun to see if it is feasible."

Su You knew that Wang Shao's strategic thinking had begun to sprout.

Several people rode all the way to Jingzhao Mansion. Wang Shao seized the time and explained his investigation plan and strategic thinking to Su You all the way, hoping to get Su You's support.

Nowadays, after more than ten years of stable development in Shuzhong Fourth Road, the wealth accumulated has reached a terrifying level.

No one can estimate how much goods Sitong Store has and how much money Sitong Bank has.

After staying in Shaanxi for three years, Wang Shao finally understood an important truth: the imperial court may not be reliable; but Su You must be reliable.

In fact, it is not necessarily that Su You is better than the imperial court. What is important is that under the control of Su You, the policies of Sitong Company have a sustainability characteristic that the imperial policy does not have.

The imperial court's policy of continuity is not without, but it has faltered now.

The New Deal basically involves people removing power from the government, and new officials immediately overturn the measures taken by their predecessors when they take office. Even a new accounting method has not been officially adopted by the Accounting Department until now.

Sitong, on the other hand, has been developing for ten consecutive years. It has now completed several industrial upgrades and technological upgrades, accelerating faster and faster, and has already achieved gratifying achievements.

Once Suyou sets a policy, it is basically a long-term and continuous behavior.

For example, since Wang Shao came to Shaanxi, Suyou has supported Wang Shao with 30,000 yuan every year. This is now the fourth year.

In addition, Su You was still hoarding salt in Jingzhao Mansion, without showing off the mountains and rivers.

What he paid for was spirits, silk, and mercerized ramie.

Arriving at Zhuangzi of Sitong Store in Jingzhaofu, the shop owner came over and said, "I've met my boss."

Su You asked: "Chao Yuanxiu is here?"

The shopkeeper said: "According to the owner's instructions, we have arranged a quiet courtyard that no one has ever seen."

Su You asked: "How much salt is there now?"

The shopkeeper said: "When I return to my boss' house, I already have one hundred thousand catties."

Su You said: "Don't worry, it's just a matter of time and effort for ants to move the steamed buns. In addition to the parts transported from Shuzhong, they also have to be purchased from various channels. Brother Zichun, are the lives of those people on these roads very easy?

"

With the acquisition of the big crocodile Sitong Company, now there are several underground passages from Xixia through the Zunshiman and then into Shaanxi. Private salt smuggling is on the rise, and Wang Shao has penetrated into Xixia and the Zunshiman, providing

It was a great convenience and help.

However, the market was calm and the price of salt did not fluctuate significantly. This was due to the Northwest Statistics Department of Sitong Trading Co., Ltd.

This big crocodile is secretly manipulating the price of salt.

Wang Shao smiled and held up his hands: "Thanks to Mingrun, not to mention them, even my brother and I are now a powerful and wealthy man."

After saying that, he felt a little worried: "But this kind of approach of only entering but not exiting, I'm afraid even if Sichuan has strong financial resources, it won't be able to withstand it..."

Su You curled his lips and said, "I can afford fifty thousand dollars a year. Come on, I'll take you to meet someone."

When he came to the yard, Chaogu was practicing his swordplay. When he saw Su You coming in, he stopped his posture and said, "Mingrun has finally arrived!"

Su You smiled and said: "Here, let me introduce to you. This is Chao Gu, Chao Yuanxiu. He has a complicated experience and is a good friend of mine in Meishan. This is Wang Shao, Wang Zichun. Brother Wang, this is the person I want to befriend."

Here you go."

Wang Shao cupped his hands and said, "Yuan Xiu, this is the way to go in the army."

Su You said: "Brother Chao had experience in the Western Army. He was originally a strong general under Han Cunbao. However, Han Cunbao was in an accident and he was asked to carry silver coins to his wife and children. From then on, he wandered across the Jianghuai River and became an expert in transporting and selling salt."

Wang Shao suddenly felt respectful: "Guo Xie and the Zhu family's high righteousness have been disrespected."

Chaogu smiled and said, "Hey! Don't listen to Mingrun trying to put money on my face. To put it bluntly, I'm just a salt dealer."

Wang Shao smiled slightly: "Then we are traveling together."

Chaogu smiled and said: "I heard from Mingrun that brother Zichun has done a great job, but Chaogu is not sensitive and is willing to join Jiwei."

Wang Shao's eyes lit up: "Have you read the book?"

Su You said: "Brother Chao was also a scholar from my school back then. He passed the Jinshi exam once, but he liked martial arts and disliked literature, so he changed his path."

Wang Shao said happily: "This saves my anxiety! Most of my subordinates are rough people, many of them are reckless and straightforward, but not many of them are useful."

Su You smiled and said, "Then you guys chat slowly while I go see what dishes can be made."

Wang Shao said: "Wait a minute, there is someone crying and asking to come see you. I couldn't be bothered, so I had to bring him."

Then I saw a little head sticking out of the door: "I didn't cry!"

Wang Shao waved the baby over: "My baby, Wang Hou, has a small character."

Wang Shao was actually only five or six years younger than Su You, but there was a gap between a boy and a young man. His demeanor and demeanor were completely different, one was childish and the other was mature, so he had no choice but to call Su You uncle.

Su You asked a few questions and gave some compliments. After Wang Hou went out, Su You said to Wang Shao: "Is this someone who has practiced martial arts? His writing skills are a little weak, Brother Zichun."

, are you ready to transfer to the right class?"

In the imperial court of the Song Dynasty, civil servants were on the left and martial officers were on the right, and the right class was the sequence of military men.

Wang Shao smiled bitterly and said: "Ten years of planning, ten years of gathering, and ten years of planning. This is when everything goes well."

"How many decades can a person's life last? What else can it do?"

Su You heard the tragic sound in Wang Shao's words: "Actually, the Zhong family has been in business for three generations since Shiheng, and has become dependent on the imperial court. It is not unheard of for someone to gain fame immediately."

Wang Shao said: "Brother is already in his thirties. In another thirty years, he will probably either die in battle or be exhausted. The boy just looked at him as the most promising one, and there are still a bunch of people at home.

Mingrun, please."

Su You felt a little sour in his heart, and forced a smile and said: "Why can't we just drive away the enemy from Tianshan and be crowned king? At that time, it will be these boys who should honor their Uncle Mingrun."

Wang Shao laughed loudly: "Stop talking about these things, hurry up and get a plate of twice-cooked pork! When I came to the northwest, I dipped the mutton in green salt every day, and I almost starved my brother to death..."

When the meal was ready and they came out, they saw Wang Shao and Chao Gu each holding a pair of chopsticks and talking animatedly about the map.

I heard Chaogu say: "I haven't been to the northwest for many years, and the situation is different now. But it will take a turmoil to make the Zun clan fully effective."

Wang Shao nodded: "Nowadays, the Zun clan is divided into several factions. Some are pro-Song, some are pro-Xixia, and some are not pro-Xixia and only care about the benefits. Internal battles are also fierce, and the strength and weakness are changing rapidly. A strong force is needed.

People can infiltrate the inside, control the intelligence, and play a key role at critical times."

Chaogu handed over his hand: "Leave this matter to me. I am an expert in selling smuggled salt and contacting the Tubo barbarians."

Su You said: "When I came here, I also saw a talented person at Tiemenguan on Ziwu Road. He will probably come here in two days. This person is skilled in martial arts and is good at shooting left and right bows. Brother Wang, you can use it when the time comes."

After saying that, he added: "It is not difficult to make the Zun family turbulent. Leave this matter to me. Now the smugglers and leaders in the Xixia Hehuang area are used to living a good life. In two years, we will let them live a miserable life."

The days, the turmoil you want, will come, right?"
