Section 330: Spend all the money
By the way, Wang Zeng is indeed a master of writing official documents.
After the fast horse general Wang Zeng sent the official documents written by Liu An to Bianliang, he was approved in just two court meetings.
The Finance and Sanshi Department gave 900,000 guan in the first year, and in the future, 600,000 guan a year.
However, Qinfeng Road, Yongxingjun Road and Jingjing Road were required to complete the task of increasing the number of fields and jujube forests every year, and in two years, the taxes of the three routes could be used to offset the grants given by the court.
This measure is limited to five years.
Funding will be stopped in the sixth year.
Together with the instructions in the court, there were 300 people from the Imperial City Division and 40 people who failed the imperial examination.
These people Liu An only talked with the military officers led by the Imperial City Command. Liu An did not meet any of the other people and gave them all to Wang Zeng to arrange.
And those who came with these people were the Small and Medium-sized Business Alliance in Bianliang.
But Liu Lang is the president.
Because the Liu family is not in Bianliang now, the shopkeeper who led the team was the big shopkeeper of the former silk shop.
Liu An moved now.
"Tell me the order and set off. The first stop at Fengxiang Mansion, the main force of the imperial guards will not enter the city, and the target is blocked by the Mangma Army."
"Get orders!"
Liu An originally planned to stay in Jingzhao and stopped moving, but after he got here, he changed his mind.
Lueyang County belonged to the Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, but it was not on the Song Dynasty map at this time.
According to real history, a hundred years later, the Western Xia was established, and the Song Dynasty slowly recovered some places when it used troops in the northwest. At this time, even Tianshui was within the territory of the Song Dynasty.
Liu An’s goal this time is to take back Tianshui County.
In history books, among the historical evolution of Tianshui, there are records of the Sui and Tang dynasties, and the Yuan dynasties, but not from the Song dynasties.
Song... It's so sad.
The period when the Song Dynasty had the largest territory was actually a few years before the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.
A few days later, Liu An's vanguard arrived at the Möbi Army Pass, which was the important place. Later generations were called Dongcha Town, which was the Dongda Gate of Gansu.
After Wang Zeng led his troops here, he took out Liu An's handwritten order.
"The first order of the envoy Liu, the imperial guards took over the defense, all soldiers of the original army took ten days off, and soldiers of the two surrounding counties took ten days off. All military affairs were stopped."
The military officers of the military subsidy immediately became anxious: "Wang, governor, our army has made full preparations to attack the Xifan Shenghu. The 20,000 soldiers and horses of the mature household have been trained."
"Silly." Wang Zeng responded coldly, then gave the military officer a blank look: "Immediately implement the orders of Liu Xunzhang."
"Yes!" Not to mention this military officer, even the soldiers were reluctant.
But just half an hour later, the soldiers began to cheer: "Thank you, Xun Liu."
Because a large tent area has been built outside the military camp.
In the tent area, eight hundred Japanese girls had already moved into single tents, and then the merchants set up various dazzling items. In the past, the soldiers could not buy colored silk squids, fragrant powder, and sandalwood combs, which were not expensive.
In addition, there are also grass fruits from the South China Sea and sackcloth from Xianping.
Of course, there is also the most important item.
Salt.
"Governor Wang, this salt is only 40 cents per pound? Let's relieve salt."
"Yeah." Wang Zeng just nodded gently.
"Also, this thin white cloth only costs 120 yuan per piece?"
"Yeah." Wang Zeng still nodded.
"For, why?"
Wang Zeng turned his head and said, "Don't you buy it?"
"No, no. This salt used to cost 80 cents per pound, but forty cents was a bit low."
Wang Zeng said: "Liu Xun ordered that the salt was only 40 cents per pound, but each person was limited to up to 10 pounds, so it must not be repeated. Please keep a little care and don't let the caravan go north and there is no salt to sell."
Wang Zeng did not explain that Liu An used salt from Qiongya to smash the salt price of Bianliang City to 23 cents per pound.
How much salt production is Qiongya?
It is only 100% or twice the annual output of the Song Dynasty, and more than the existing salt in the Song Dynasty. The salt merchants who stored salt have already cried to death in the toilet.
The hydroloons in Xianping County have produced amazing output after increasing the input of hemp in Chameng.
However, because Youzhou purchased a huge amount of cloth, the price of cloth did not drop much, and it was only about twenty cents cheaper per bus than before.
Wang Zeng stood on a high place and watched the soldiers in the military stop start to beat people with sticks, asking the township soldiers and foreign soldiers to line up.
The military officer from the Möbi Army arrived in front of Wang Zeng again: "Governor Wang, I have made arrangements. Whoever has trouble will be hung outside the camp to fight, and it is not allowed to enter the business camp."
"Well, this is what you should do." Wang Zeng still spoke in a cold tone.
"But I still don't understand why Liu Xunzhang wanted to reward us without making great contributions?"
Wang Zeng sighed slightly: "You are not convinced by saying you are stupid, I will tell you. Although you have not made any contributions, you are still brave after all. The most important thing is that you have earned a little money. If you don't let you spend all the money you have in your hands or even owe debts, you may, but will the foreign soldiers and the rural soldiers fight to the death?"
The military officer who was in the Miaobi Army suddenly realized: "Mr. Marquis is wise."
Just now, I was the envoy Liu, and now I will be the marquis.
It is just a change in name, which also represents his inner change.
Wang Zeng then said: "Tianshui County, if you can't defeat the might of your power, it's your fault. The Marquis doesn't lead the army, just talks about where to attack you. If you don't understand, there will be someone who understands it."
"Yes, the lower lord understands." The military officer knew very well that Qin Fenglu must have a general who could fight.
If it really doesn't work, I will transfer the garrison generals from several military prefectures in the north.
However, if the court had never made up its mind, it would not have been a difficult situation.
Speaking of this time.
Liu An is in Fengxiang.
Fengxiang was the capital of Qin Fenglu at this time, and Lu Guixiang's yamen was here.
Liu An arrived without a banquet, only a small-scale dust-washing banquet, and then in Lu Guixiang's study, Liu An and Lu Guixiang were studying the map.
According to the map at this time, Fengxiang was no longer controlled by the Song Dynasty less than fifty miles south. But after going west, he passed the Möbi Army Pass. The borders were Xinguan, Yizhou, and Weizhou (Pingliang) that were the western borders, and they were also not controlled by the Song Dynasty even when going west.
Lu Guixiang said to Liu An: "Yang Yanpu was seriously injured outside Datong City. Now his injury has healed. He was originally recovering from his injuries in Yanzhou, but later he went to Qingzhou to help train his troops. He was transferred here. There are currently generals who commanded the troops, but few of them have really fought a large battle. According to my husband, there is no need to transfer the army to come."
Liu An asked: "Mr. Lu, how many soldiers are there now?"
"According to the data collected by each county, 100,000 new Xifan soldiers were added. This number was moisture, but the elite combat power would also be more than 30,000. Among the village soldiers, there were also 10,000 people who could fight. The elite soldiers who could fight in the original wing could call 30,000. If a war started, 100,000 people could help the battle."
After saying this, Lu Guixiang asked again: "It's just that there is no order to fight."
