No shortage of walls

Song Xing may sound nice, but he actually doesn't believe him. He may not understand that he uses business to control the world's political situation and strategic balance, and there is no need to say it.

Liu Chengwen has been the Minister of Rites for more than ten years, so he is naturally very familiar with royal etiquette and sacrificial regulations. But talking about business, what kind of bullshit business was there in the Southern Song Dynasty in the old days? As for observing the situation in the world, he didn't even think of this, so how could he understand it? Not to mention that he wanted to understand, even if he told him, he might not really believe it. How could he imagine that a teenager would dare to affect the situation of the world after being emperor for only a few days? To check and balance strategic and political balance? At this time, when he saw the emperor praising him in words, he felt that he was old enough. When buying and selling these things, just buy low and sell high. If you feel that you are competent, you will immediately look bright. He quickly raised his hands and said:"Thank you for your compliment! Weichen is old, and the business of buying and selling is not very difficult. Weichen will definitely try his best to fight for the interests of the country, but the bottom line must be decided by your Majesty."

Song Xing said:"Grains and the like Nowadays, building workshops and building roads consumes a lot of money for soldiers;We have to wait for the snow to come. We have to buy 20,000 tons of grains and 20,000 sheep. Donghu needs 20,000 to 30,000 sheep. I want as much salt from Chen State, but the price cannot be negotiated. I will wait for the salt from the north to come. Gradually suppressing him, Wu Yue was in trouble with Chen Sui. The pass of Liao Kingdom was too small. We will talk about it later.

Liu Chengwen cupped his hands and said,"I obey the order!"

Song Xing said:"Then you go back and prepare. You are old, so try to rest as much as possible.""

Liu Chengwen was very happy. After kneeling down, he bowed his hands and left.

Cui Zheng was about to come back to help build the workshop, because the emperor had already told him to stay. Cui Zheng, Liu Guo and Song Yu went to the imperial study together to ask for the order; as for Liu Gongquan, He had just started to establish the Ministry of National Security, and he really didn't have time. When it comes to secret matters, Liu Gongquan is actually many times better than Liu Guo. But from his father, Prince Jing, Liu Guo's rank is higher than Liu Gongquan's; secondly, they have been in the manor for more than ten years. Now, all ghosts know that the so-called light and dark matters are only two exceptions.

Song Xing was really kind to the old man. He said:"No need to kneel down, just sit down."

The three of them still knelt down and kowtowed, shouting long live the mountain. As for Lu Zhi, Liu Guo was still the steward of the manor, and there was no need to worry about others doing harm to the emperor. Song Xing only asked him to go outside.

Liu Guo cupped his hands and said:"Your Majesty! The etiquette of the monarch and his ministers is a must.

Song Xing sat down and said,"Sit and talk.""

The three of them cupped their hands and said,"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" He sat down as he was told.

Song Xing said:"The workshop is relatively large and the project is also large. I need the workshop to make money. Cui Zheng went to help build the workshop. Let's build it from the inside first and sell fine salt paper first. ; Pencils are now made by Huada in Prince Jing's Mansion. The output is too low. I am building a workshop and making salt at the same time, and I have to prevent others from stealing my technology. Cui Zheng only has 8,000 old people, so there will be a lot less manpower?

Cui Zheng cupped his hands and said,"Return to your Majesty!" Before entering the royal study, I have seen the sketch of the workshops from Liu Guo. They are separated, one workshop is separated from another. Although the big city wall has not been built, the small workshops are separated. We can only guard against small workers. As for the empty houses that don’t know what they are used for, no one will take care of them. Some of them were not even drawn by the emperor. They are just an empty lot. I guess they were built while doing business in the future. There is no problem anymore, it’s just, just—I just feel that the workshop is too big. Song Xing smiled and said:"

It looks big now, but it will be small in the future. I can make too many weird things. Yesterday I told Liu Chengwen to prepare to negotiate business with neighboring countries. The food will be supplied to the construction workshops and roads first." Soldiers eat. It’s not that hard to eat a full meal. The cattle and horses will be sent back directly. The cattle will be sold to the people and the horses will be returned to the army. They will be handled by the general guard for the time being. The cotton, wool and mutton oil will be taken back to the workshop. Cui Zheng, you can take care of it. I will notify the general guard when the time comes. Just oil shave."

Everyone knows that cotton is stuffed into clothes to keep warm in winter, but we don't know what wool and suet are used for.

Cui Zheng asked:"Excuse me, Your Majesty! What can you do with wool suet?

Song Xingdao:"Wool can be made into woolen clothing, which is very warm and can be washed easily." You can make money by then, but right now I don’t dare to weave woolen clothes. It is related to the fact that the barbarians in the north make a little money by selling animal skins and sheepskins to keep out the cold. As the saying goes, cutting off a person's wealth is like killing his parents. As soon as my woolen clothes come out, the animal skins of the barbarians will die. Now that the Song Dynasty is still weak, it is not a problem to fight forcefully. We have to wait until the time is right."

When the three of them heard this, they were overjoyed; there are indeed many people in the Prince's Association, and they should be from above. If woolen clothes can be washed easily and animal skins can be beaten, they can really make a lot of money. But the emperor is right, and now the barbarians are also It's very hateful, but if it really cuts off people's wealth, it's not to blame the barbarians for taking action. It's just that Song State is still too weak, and there's nothing that can be done about it.

Liu Guo cupped his hands and said:"Your Majesty! I requested an order to go to Beiguan. If the barbarians dare to come, I will fight with him. King Jing's old troops fight, and they are never afraid of others."

Cui Zheng and Song Yu nodded hurriedly. King Jing's army had never been afraid of anyone in fighting.

Song Xing shook his head and said:"Where are the Hu people, wait until Liu Chengwen comes over and control yourself. At that time, I sent troops from the north to the south to help build workshops. As for fighting, don't even think about using the old people in the future. The old people are the last barrier of the Song Dynasty and cannot be used easily. Do you understand? Besides, I don't want to fight against each other in a war. If you want to do it, use strategy to win."

The three of them were greatly moved. They all cupped their hands and said,"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, there was endless gratitude and pride in his heart. Only the prince who was the emperor would be so kind to his old friend. If the third and fourth princes, Zhao Dian, would only push King Jing's army to die first.

Song Xing said:"There are some things that you just know. , keep a low profile, there’s no need to say anything."

The three of them cupped their hands again and said,"I obey the order!" Song Xingdao:"

I have already inquired. There are people raising fattened pigs near the workshop. I think Cui Zheng will be in charge of the workshop from now on. You are the secretary of the workshop. I don't believe those people like Qingyuan, but the workshop has not been built yet." Okay, Cui Zheng's fifth-grade military general will be there first.

Cui Zheng cupped his hands and said,"Your Majesty!" When the minister went north, he didn't expect to survive. Now that the prince is the emperor, the old tribe has no desire to be rich. For His Majesty and the Song Dynasty, why not die? This is still a small matter.

Song Xing said:"I know too many things, more than you can imagine. Once a small workshop is built, Cui Zheng will send people back to find Huada. I will teach Huada. They are now in Prince Jing's Mansion." Stay here. In short, everything I arranged will work. Song Yu, you guard the capital and pay attention to Prince Jing's Mansion.

Song Yu cupped his hands and said,"I obey the order!"

Song Xing said:"Liu Guo!" What about the spies in the capital the day before yesterday?

Liu Guo cupped his hands and said,"Return to your Majesty!" Buried. Song

Xing said:"I guess what I produced is weird. If the news spreads, others must want to know. You and Song Yu should be careful."

Liu Guo and Song Yu cupped their hands and said,"I obey the order!" Song

Xing said:"One last thing, pay attention to the north. If the Hu people have nothing to do, they will send their troops south."

The three people cupped their hands and said,"I obey the order!"

Song Xing knew they would do it. He nodded and said,"Go and get busy.""

The three of them bowed their hands and exited.
