As for Wang Xiaolangjun, he is busy with big things.
I have no idea about the little thoughts of his old man.
What time of the year is it now, how can I still have time to think about what is there and what is not?
Making money is serious!
Make money!
Make money like crazy!
The question is, where does the money come from?
I want to take it from Wang Mi's pocket, but I'm sorry, there really isn't much.
The thing is like this. On the whole, the Langya Wang family is of course extremely wealthy.
But when it comes to Wang Mi personally, he really doesn't have much money in his hands.
Saying this does not mean that he is a poor household and does not even have any living money.
Yes, there is.
For example, in Jingkou, when Liu Yu owed money, he helped pay back the money. He could give him the amount of materials with just a wave of his hand.
No effort at all.
But in the current situation, he is really powerless.
That's a lot of money to support the general's workshop, make artillery, and make pistols.
It is indeed a bit difficult to just let him do it by himself.
After returning to the palace, Wang Mi kept wandering around in the courtyard.
I was thinking about how to find someone to take advantage of and get the money out.
This candidate is not easy to find.
Although the people in the palace did not complain much about him going to the workshop to fiddle with these new weapons.
However, that is because they have long known that the money for making weapons comes from the imperial court.
But now, the imperial court will not be able to count on it for a while.
In order to organize Sima Yao's funeral, the national treasury was bleeding again, and there was no extra money to support the workshop.
It was precisely because of the understanding of the current financial situation of the imperial court that the Queen Mother Wang Zhenying came to help and used the private money from the harem to support the general workshop.
This is nothing less than providing help in times of need, and it is quite a difficult task.
However, for the continuous production of weapons, this little money, as Pu Chao said, can only support it for a dozen days at most.
It simply can't last long.
If we want it to last, we need wealthy people like the Wang family to continue to export.
If the money-obsessed people in the Wang family knew about such a loss, how could they be willing to comply?
Wang Mi must be hung up and beaten.
There are two places here that are not worthy of the name, which hinder Wang Mi from making money.
One is that supporting the army, including providing weapons, has always been a matter for the imperial court.
If the court doesn't provide money, can it still count on the big family?
So, do you want to give the Wang family a share of the taxes collected by the court?
The second issue is the ownership of Beifu soldiers.
This is a major issue that has always been unresolved.
In the past, the Xie family paid a lot of money to support the Beifu soldiers, but that was because the Beifu soldiers were held hostage by the Xie family at that time.
It is the Xie family's sphere of influence.
Since your Xie family controls the Beifu soldiers, it is natural for you to support them.
Even so, I think back then, when Xie Xuan was still able to move, the Xie family did not suffer too much.
When he is out of time, he reaches out to the court and gathers as much wool as he can.
And now?
The Xie family's wool probably won't be harvested.
The key is, who is in charge of the Beifu soldiers now?
Although Wang Mi is now in charge of the Beifu soldiers, he is also looking at Xie An's face.
It was Xie An who gave him this right because Wang Mi was his grandson-in-law.
If it was not related to the Xie family, how could such a good job fall on Wang Mi?
Since the Beifu soldiers are actually still under the jurisdiction of the Xie family, the money should be paid by the Xie family.
Wang Mi can think of these reasons without even mentioning them to his family.
However, we have to make money. In this situation, it would be too late to go to Xie An.
We still have to find a solution within the Wang family.
"Zhiyuan, you're back, why didn't you say hello?"
Wang Mi was wandering around in the yard, racking his brains, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice from behind.
Huh?
Is this...the God of Wealth coming to your door?
"Hello uncle.
"quickly put on a smiling face, archer said.
In fact, Wang Hui already knew that he had returned. When the boys unloaded boxes after boxes of artillery from the carriage, they made a lot of noise.
Not to mention Wang Hui, even that lazy guy Wang Mo heard it.
Ever since Wang Mi came back from the Nanyang battlefield, it seems that this family can no longer accommodate him.
The majestic Langya Wang family and the mansion of a century-old prominent family are not enough for him to realize his ambitions.
Everyone is speculating on what kind of high position this new star of the Wang family will reach in the future before he is satisfied.
Just being a powerful minister, similar to Wang Gong, is probably not enough.
If he was obsessed with the little power he had in the court, there would be no need to go to Jingkou to lead troops.
Here, Jiankang City is a natural stage.
All you need to do is open up your stance and fight Wang Gong.
According to everyone's predictions, Wang Mi, who has military achievements on his side, may be even more powerful.
However, that was previous conjecture.
Now, everyone saw Wang Mi's actual actions, and they all said that guesses were just guesses, and he couldn't be sure.
Originally, people thought that Wang Mi struggled to go to the front line to kill the enemy, just because he wanted to use his military achievements as a basis to fight for power in the court.
But looking at it now, it's not like that at all.
In terms of military merit, Wang Mi is now the leader among the sons of aristocratic families in the Jin Dynasty.
He is not worthy of anyone else carrying his shoes.
With such power, it was enough for him and Wang Gong to start fighting.
The results of it?
They did not stop at a few victories and a few cities.
The chaos in Jiankang City had just settled down, and within a few days, news came out, and various signs showed that people no longer wanted to stay in Jiankang City.
I have to go back to Jingkou.
At first, everyone didn’t quite believe it, but today they have no choice but to believe it.
Weapons have been prepared, doesn't this mean we are about to set off?
Are you preparing to transform yourself into a military commander by actively preparing for war?
I, the Langya Wang clan, don’t need any generals!
Fighting has always been a matter for rough men. I think back then, Huan Wen was teased by his colleagues just because he wielded swords and guns and fought on the battlefield as a son of a noble family.
No one thinks highly of him.
In the circle of aristocratic families, face is very important.
Even the most important.
Those useless fuss, so-called rules, and propriety are, in the final analysis, just to maintain the face of the aristocratic family.
He had to distance himself from the ordinary villagers, and he also had to maintain his dignity in front of the royal family.
I want you all to feel that you are not as good as me and you are not worthy of carrying my shoes.
Even the royal family sighed and felt extremely ashamed when they saw the pomp of their own home.
After years of operation, the Wang Xie family has successfully formed in Jiankang City, and only the children of the Wang Xie family are the most high-end.
The idea that the way we do things is the best.
Because most of the people in the Wang and Xie families are pure scholars, or they are free children waiting to die, they will not waste their energy on riding horses and whipping their whips.
Who cares about a dirty, smelly big-headed soldier?
Wang Mi's behavior of lowering his social status is really hard for you brothers to understand.
With his mind, how could he be willing to lead troops in war and hang out with the big soldiers?
Therefore, he must have ulterior motives.
If we continue to reason along this line of thinking, we will not be able to stop the car...
Will...
Does Wang Mi have more lofty goals?
It can't be possible!
How many years have passed since the ancestors of the Wang family dared not even think about that goal? How could Wang Mi dare to even think about it?
but……
His behavior clearly showed the attitude of strategizing and risking one's life.
It’s impossible not to think too much about it.
Since he really wants to go further, from the perspective of the royal family, there seems to be no reason not to support it.
In this family, there must always be someone who takes the lead.
Even if you can't do it, why don't you allow others to do it?
This is what the current patriarch Wang Hui thinks.
As Wang Mi's elder, if Wang Mi really gets what he wants after all the hard work, then won't the Wang family ascend with him?
If someone takes you flying, why not?
"I saw you brought back all the weapons from the general workshop. What do you want to do?"
Wang Hui is also impatient and doesn't want to talk about things in circles. He just gets straight to the point when he comes up.
Wang Mi no longer intends to pretend.
"Of course it will be transported to Jingkou for use by the brothers in Beifu."
"My uncle didn't know something. Before this, because he had a pleasant cooperation with General Huan of Jingzhou, he promised to give him a batch of weapons for use by his Jingzhou soldiers."
"The production of artillery and pistols is very complicated and the quantities are limited. As a result, the Jingzhou soldiers used these new weapons earlier than my brothers in the Beifu soldiers."
"As the temporary commander-in-chief of Beifu, I always feel uncomfortable."
"While returning to Jingkou this time, I will take all these weapons away along the way. Although the quantity is not enough now, Pujiang Zuo has promised me that after a while, we can make up for it."
In order to defraud money, Wang Mi had no choice but to tell his uncle the truth.
Wang Hui thought for a while, but couldn't stop him with words, so he had to say: "You still want to go to Jingkou?"
"Have you discussed this matter with Mr. Xie?"
Wang Hui just wanted to make sure. In fact, he had already guessed that Wang Mi could not do this without Xie An's knowledge.
Sure enough, Wang Mi's answer was in line with his guess.
"Since Mr. Xie has agreed, I have no reason to disagree."
"However, Zhiyuan, your visit to Beifu this time is different from before. Mr. Xie has temporarily handed this army into your hands. From now on, you will be the general commanding an army of hundreds of thousands."
"Don't act arbitrarily as before. You must think more and think twice before you act."
Wang Mimeng nodded and replied: "What my uncle taught me, I will definitely remember."
After that, Wang Hui gave many instructions, not only for the military, but also for the family.
It gives full play to the nagging qualities of the elder Tang Seng.
Successfully made Wang Mi talk about his sleepiness.
Almost fell asleep.
"alright!"
"I have nothing more to say, it's enough to just remember these."
"Before you leave, be sure to spend more time with Minghui."
"Ever since you two got married, you have been busy outside and ignored her. Now that you finally have time, you have to go to Jingkou again."
"I don't know how long it will take for you to come back now. I don't have any complaints about you. It's already very respectable."
"Don't push yourself too far and bully others."
Unexpectedly, Wang Hui has many specialties, including the attribute of being a friend of women.
But when Minghui was mentioned, Wang Mi became energetic.
Wang Hui also had doubts. He had clearly said what he should have said, so why didn't he leave?
Maybe there is something else going on.
It's definitely not a good thing.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have put it off until now.
Wang Hui straightened his back and got ready.
face the challenge.
Wang Mi thought for a moment and then smiled and said: "Uncle, my nephew has another request. I wonder if my uncle can agree to it?"
Under normal circumstances, if you ask this question, you will definitely not agree to it.
Wang Hui had no choice but to say helplessly: "Just tell me."
"I'll do my best."
His attitude has been made clear. Wang Hui will support anything that can be relied upon, but he also asks his good nephew not to do anything difficult.
However, Wang Mi is such a person who likes to face difficulties head on.
Wherever there are difficulties, he will challenge them.
"Uncle, you also know that I have been busy in the workshop recently to make various new weapons."
"I have been doing this for a while. I think the brothers in the house must also know about it."
I know, of course I know.
Wang Hui suddenly remembered that when he was trying to make a pistol, he had supported him with a sum of money.
This time, it’s not like I want money again.
If you think about it this way, this is the result.
"Zhiyuan, if you want money, just say so."
Wang Mi originally prepared a basket of words, but at this moment, he got stuck.
Unexpectedly, the old man's sense of smell is quite sensitive.
"Uncle, I really want some money."
"Making these weapons is really expensive!"
"My uncle doesn't know that this job is very popular now. Many people inside and outside the palace are paying attention to it. This is an earth-shattering event!"
"If it is done well, uukanshu www.uukanshu.com maybe the barbarians in the north can be wiped out in one fell swoop!"
Wang Hui did not agree in a hurry.
Although he had never seen the power of pistols and artillery with his own eyes, he had actually heard of them.
According to those in the pistol team, these weapons are like artifacts. Enemies often flee when they see them, and the effect is remarkable.
Wang Hui naturally knew that these weapons were of great use.
"How much do you want?"
"Zhiyuan, let me remind you that the Beifu soldiers are not yours yet, they belong to the Xie family. Even if you have to invest, you must do so according to your ability."
We have already reached this point, and there is no need to go around in circles anymore.
It's best to share your needs with each other directly.
It's okay to ask for money, but you have to think about it, our Wang family can't give you much.
This would make it difficult for Wang Mi to speak.
"I know it's not fair for my uncle to come up with this money, but my uncle also knows that now that everything in the court has just been decided, there is simply no time to allocate money to the general workshop."
"But in order to supply the soldiers of the Beifu Army, the production of these weapons cannot stop for a day, so the money cannot be continued."
Wang Hui still didn't speak, but he listened very seriously.
It seems that a little more heat is needed.
"Uncle, I don't have to ask my family for money. I really have no choice."
"I've blown out all the cowhide, and I'm patting my chest and promising the craftsman that the money will arrive today."
"As a descendant of the Langya Wang family, I can't break my promise."
"That's too shameless!"
"For your sake, let me pay for it."
"Do you think it's appropriate?" Wang Hui is not someone who is willing to give in easily. Even if he wants to give money, he has to explain the truth clearly.
