In a few days, the wheat harvest will begin in Xiangyang and Nanyang. This year the weather has been smooth and the wheat harvest has been bumper. The wheat yield in Xiangyang, Nanyang, Tangzhou, Suizhou, Yingzhou and other places generally exceeds two shi per mu.

Wang Xiaolie prepared a large amount of funds in advance, and when the wheat was dry, he immediately purchased it on a large scale. Now there is no need to sell it to Zhejiang and Zhejiang. The newly recovered land in the north requires a large amount of grain. Finance relies on printing money, so it must have a large amount of physical support.

Without actual goods, printing money will only cause inflation and is of no use.

After these two or three years, Wang Xiaolie deeply felt that banknotes and bank finance are really powerful tools for the government to obtain funds. If these two things are done well, the results of economic development will be apparent, and most of them will be in the hands of the government. Print

With the right amount of money, using banks, the government is not afraid of running out of money.

The Song Dynasty was the first dynasty in China to truly realize this. From Jiaozi to Huizi, the issuance of banknotes helped the Song Dynasty survive the most difficult years. Starting from Wang Anshi's Reform, the implementation of the Qingmiao Law made the court realize

The role of borrowing was just the beginning of everything, and the situation faced by the Song Dynasty was too complicated. Although the Song Dynasty recognized the role of banknotes and official lending, it never dealt with these two issues.

Wang Xiaolie is different. He has the memory of his previous life and knows the taboos of issuing banknotes and banking. He can also exercise restraint and control, allowing these two methods to develop steadily. Banknotes and banks have greatly promoted the development of industry and commerce, but they also avoid

a variety of social ills.

All agricultural taxes were changed to grain, and money was no longer collected from farmers, which greatly liberated the purchasing power of rural areas. In recent years, purchasing and marketing cooperatives have gone deep into various places, collecting valuable resources from farmers on the one hand, and industrial products on the other.

Selling to rural areas, business is booming. The purchasing power of rural areas has promoted the development of nascent industries. Industrial and commercial taxes have become the main source of cash income for the government.

With stable money and food, local governments began to stabilize. Ruzhou, Tangzhou, Dengzhou and Xiangyang Prefecture, which Wang Xiaolie first occupied, saw considerable economic development and social prosperity.

After reading the various official documents brought by Chen Qiudao, Wang Xiaolie stood up and stretched.

The weather in Luoyang this year is also good. It rained a few days ago, and it cleared up soon. The sun is shining brightly these days, and the wheat is growing very well. As expected, there will be another bumper harvest this summer. There is a harvest.

Wheat, the food in Wang Xiao's hunter's hand is enough to meet various needs.

In recent years, there have been no floods and droughts, and the weather has been smooth in most places. It is a rare good year. If there had been no war, the people should have lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the country and the people were peaceful. However, in fact, not only the north was invaded by the Jin army, but the south was also full of thieves.

A safe place?

After leaving the official hall, Wang Xiao went to the study room next to him and ordered a soldier to call Cui Qing.

Cui Qing entered the study and saluted Wang Xiaolie.

Wang Xiaoxing said: "Tonight we have two guests, the meal should be sumptuous. Go and tell Yu Daizhao to have a pork knuckle, a stewed mutton, a cold sauce beef, and a chicken. By the way, we also need

There is a braised carp."

Cui Qing smiled and said: "Jie Shuai rarely treats guests, but today's meal is rare."

Wang Xiaolie said: "I don't know how to eat very well. A sumptuous meal requires chicken, duck and fish, but I don't know many other varieties. In this world, everyone wants to eat good food and good food. But there is a moderation in everything.

, it’s boring to be too particular. By the way, you go find a way to get two bottles of good wine.”

Cui Qing promised and left with his resignation.

Wang Xiaolie leaned on his chair and rested his mind for a while, then took out a book and sat by the window to read.

In the evening, Wang Xiaolie closed his book and left the study. After checking that there was nothing going on in the yamen, he went to the back yamen.

When Cui Qing saw Wang Xiaolie, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Commander Jiesi, the guests haven't come yet. It's getting late, do you want me to go and invite you?"

Wang Xiaolie waved his hand: "No need. They are all old acquaintances, you all know them. They came from Xiangyang to Luoyang with Chen Shenjun. I arrived early, so I should treat them to a meal. I remembered the rescue of Luoyang a few years ago.

It was really not easy for these old people to protect me."

Cui Qing said yes. After listening to Wang Xiaolie's words, he knew that he was the first to follow Wang Xiaolie, but he didn't know if he believed it.

As the sun went down, Cui Qing and a few soldiers set up a table in the yard. Before they could clear it, the guests arrived.

When Cui Qing saw it, it turned out to be Yang Shen, Yu Huan and Wang Zhong, and he couldn't help laughing. These were all the old men who had been with Wang Xiaolie for the first time, but they were not suitable to lead troops, so they gradually left the army. Now except for Wang Zhong's gang,

Wang Xiaolie took care of the housework, while Yang Shen and Yu Huan each had their own things to do.

The three of them stepped forward to meet Wang Xiaolie.

Wang Xiaolie said: "Tonight is a family dinner, so you don't have to be cautious. To be honest, I am not short of money and have all the materials now, but I have never paid attention to food and drink. The food is inevitably a bit simple, so don't blame me!"

Yu Huan said: "Commander Jie said this, how can we afford it? This meal, no matter what we eat, is our blessing!"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "Tongzhi Yu, you are exaggerating! In the past few years, you have become much more slippery than leading troops!"

Yang Shen said: "It's inevitable. Commander Jie doesn't know how to deal with the people every day without being slick. Those businessmen are all as cunning as ghosts! When they meet, the relationship is like honey and oil. When they turn around, only God knows what they think.

!”

Wang Xiaolie said: "In the face of such people, we must also deal with business affairs, and don't learn to be like them."

Yang Shen looked at Yu Huan and shut up and stopped talking.

Usually responsible for business matters and dealing with businessmen, even if it is official business, people will become naughty. Wang Xiaolie has a wonderful idea, but how can it be feasible in practice? But this kind of thing, it is good to know it in your own heart, there is no need to say it

Listen to Wang Xiaolie.

Seeing Cui Qing and his soldiers busy there, Yang Shen said: "Controller Cui, you are also the elders around you. Just leave the rough things to them."

Cui Qing smiled and said nothing.

Wang Xiaolie said: "We are not outsiders today. Mr. Cui, please stop being busy and let's have a glass of wine together."

Cui Qing bowed and said yes.

Not long after, the food and wine were served and everyone took their seats. Cui Qing poured the wine.

Wang Xiaolie raised his wine bowl and said: "We encountered so many dangers when we saved Luoyang! You have always been by my side and worked hard, and we are where we are today! Now we can say that we have occupied Luoyang City! Looking back on the past,

It’s like a dream. Come, let’s have a drink together!”

Several people raised their bowls and drank them all together with Wang Xiaolie.

After drinking for three rounds, several people chatted some gossip. From the time they heard about Zhai Xing's Northern Expedition at the end of last year and Wang Xiaolie's large-scale march northward to the recent great victory in Shaanzhou, several people were very excited. Before coming to Luoyang, Wang Xiaolie finally

It is a small force. No matter how powerful it is, others don't think it is anything special. Now that it has occupied Luoyang, it is completely different. It is not just how much territory it occupies, but it occupies such an important place as Luoyang. The Jin Army actually

There is nothing you can do, this is amazing.

Yu Huan said: "Back then, outside Luoyang City, Ding Jin abandoned me and only ran for his own life. I had no choice but to join Jieshuai. How could I have imagined that today would happen! We didn't save Luoyang at that time - but now that we think about it, it doesn't matter if we did.

? After all, we couldn’t hold on. Four years later, Commander-in-Chief led the army back to Luoyang! The Jin army wanted to drive Commander-in-Chief out, but they couldn’t!"

Yang Shen said: "Yeah, I really can't think of it! At that time, I was so worried that I couldn't sleep because I had to eat for hundreds of people. Now I have an army of hundreds of thousands, and there is no shortage of food! This earth-shaking change, what happened a few years ago?

Dare to think!”

Wang Zhongdao: "You don't dare to think about it, but Xiaoshe people dare to think about it! Ever since the official died and Xiaoshe people took over, no matter what difficulties they encountered, when have you ever seen Xiaoshe people frown? From that time to
