No shortage of walls

At this time, the people in the court thought that the emperor would no longer pay attention to Southern Liao. Only people from the Ministry of National Security knew that the emperor would not let Liao go.

The Ministry of National Security has just been established, and they are all old people. The Liao Kingdom actually dared to bully the crown prince and challenge the emperor's dignity. With a single order, people from the Ministry of National Security came over.

Regarding the Liao Kingdom, Liu Gongquan had no time to make arrangements, and Song Xing meant that it belonged to the Xia Kingdom first.

Of course, you can't get too hot-headed when fighting. If you start fighting without knowing anything about the opponent's situation, the consequences are unpredictable.

Although Song Xing is a child in this life, his mind is close to fifty; this kind of quick-fire spirit has been smoothed out in his previous life.

Song Xing knew that Liu Gongquan would handle it well, so he told him to go ahead and forget it.

Cui Zheng arrived and told him to meet him in the imperial study.

Song Xing felt a lot sad when he saw him. He said:"Thank you for your hard work."

Cui Zheng said hurriedly:"The general should do it!"

Song Xingdao:"A few days ago, Liu Guo told me that the workshop can start working, and I want you to take charge of the workshop."

Cui Zhengdao:"Yes! Your Majesty!"

Song Xing said:"After the workshop starts, there will be many dangers that you can't think of, and they will be more difficult than fighting. In addition to preventing spies from stealing the masters, you also have to prevent the craftsmen from treason. Of course, you In the Ming Dynasty, Liu Gongquan has someone secretly hiding him. I heard that Wu Ren from the eldest prince's residence is an expert in this industry. I have already sent a message to Wu Ren to find you. Also, everything in the future will be sold through your hands. Go, as many people as you want, and as many as you want who can keep accounts. Think about it, report it, and keep 70% of the people in the army permanently. The other 30% is for people to take leave and go home. As for what arrangements, That's your business."

Cui Zheng raised his hand and asked,"Excuse me, Your Majesty! When will the craftsmen come in?"

Song Xingdao said,"For these two days, the pencil maker will go in first, and the Ministry of Rites will go to Xia Guo to negotiate the price of fine salt, and promised Xia Guo Er There are ten thousand pencils, and one tael of silver for two pens is a bit expensive."

Cui Zhengdao:"I heard that a pen costs 20 taels of silver on the black market."

Song Xingdao:"That's because there are less. If there are more, they will be gone. But the cost of pencils It's too low. You can make money by selling it casually. You have to know that it's a money-grabbing business. It's not difficult to tell the truth. You must be careful. The accommodation department has also been built. You can bring your family, but it is not enough to live in. In the future, the task of preventing spies will be difficult. Heavy."

Cui Zhengdao:"Wei Chen knows!"

"Then go back and get ready."

A few days later, the imperial edict arrived. Cui Zheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Works, is the first grade. The remaining personnel will be approved by the emperor after Cui Zheng reports it himself. Everyone thought that he was the Minister of the Ministry of War. He was originally going to be the Minister of the Works, but the newspaper Cui Zheng was not mentioned.

At this time, Cui Zheng knew that the workshop was very profitable, so he naturally told his subordinates to be careful; but he knew that the city wall had not been built yet and the tasks were very heavy. He knew that he was not capable of catching spies, so he asked Liu Gongquan for advice, and Liu Gongquan would naturally The arrangements were well made, but he also knew Wu Ren's abilities. But Wu Ren was not free yet, so he kept urging.

Among the people in the eldest prince's palace, Liu Guo couldn't move them without the emperor speaking.

The September newspaper added an issue with the content Not many, mainly the pencils produced by the Song Dynasty were sold to the Xia Kingdom for 20,000, and 100 were given as gifts. They have been sent out and should be delivered before October 10th.

Then, the fine salt from the Song Dynasty was also sold for ten Ten thousand catties were given to Xia Guo, and only ten catties were given as a gift.

Then, one thousand catties of books and paper were also sold to Xia Guo, and ten catties were given as gifts. Then, newspapers were also sold to Xia Guo by the way. Each issue, regardless of the regular issue, was given as a gift. One thousand copies, subject to border inspection.

Because the newspaper was sold to the Xia Kingdom.

Song Xing felt that it was necessary to regulate it. There should be no printing of as many copies as possible. It was stipulated that eight sheets of paper should be printed per issue. Because it had been sold for so long, eight sheets of paper were the maximum number..Preacher

Jin:"Your Majesty! Sometimes there are only four pieces of paper, what should I do?"

Song Xing said:"Then leave it for the next issue. If you only write four pieces of paper in each January issue, you can write jokes, jokes, etc., and you can also sell advertisements."

None of the ministers understood!

They all opened their mouths.

Song Xing said:"For example, if the Zhang family gets married to the Li family, and only after they get married do they realize that the woman looks like a pig's head, is that a joke? Just like what happened earlier."

Preacher Jin:" Oh! Just telling a fake story?"

"Yes. Anyway, people are so happy when they see it, they even laugh until their teeth fall off. I feel that the money is not wasted, and the court is making money again. That’s it.

Jin Chuan nodded and said,"The minister has written it and submitted it to the emperor for approval." Song

Xing nodded.

Jin Chuan asked again:"Excuse me, Your Majesty!" What does advertising mean?"

"Spread the word. In October, write down my toothpaste for brushing your teeth and let others buy it. That’s advertising."

Jin Chuan nodded. He wrote it immediately when he got back. There were two little jokes. Song Xing laughed so hard that his tea gushed out. He praised him hard and asked him to rush to print it.

Jin Chuan was overjoyed when he saw that he could be praised by the emperor. He Half a life. Finally, heroes have their place. Meeting the Lord of the Ming Dynasty is the greatest blessing in this life. It is said that the newspaper is so funny that the Xia people fell off their horses with laughter. Five thousand copies are required starting from November.

The army of Song Dynasty starts from eight In the tenth month of the month, except for the soldiers at Qingzhou Pass who wanted to fight, the rest were approaching the border pass. The emperor's private message had already been sent out, and the soldiers and political officials across the country were eating mutton; as for those in Shengzhou and political officials, they sent carriages to pull them. According to what was said at the beginning, each person was given five kilograms. As for the soldiers who built roads and civil engineering projects, they casually built the walls of Hezhou Guan Pingshan Pass and the main road. Only the soldiers in the workshops did not move.

The workshops were important. The most important thing.

The soldiers and political officials of the Song Dynasty were very happy. Although five pounds of mutton was not much, the new emperor's salary was increased by 50% after he came to the throne. It was also the first time in the Song Dynasty that the court openly bought sheep for public officials to eat. For This is indeed an encouraging thing for the poor Song Dynasty, where it is difficult to have two meals a day. Even the people who are helping can eat and are very happy; only the criminals cannot eat.

Because the matter of buying food has already come in, no one suspects that it is a fake By this time, Liu Gongquan of the Liu Kingdom and the important ministers in the court were no longer worried about the emperor's money. Since the Ministry of Rites signed the letter of credence with Xia and Song Dynasty, and Long Quan signed the letter of credence with Qi; the fine salt of the Song Dynasty , paper, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and pencils were all sold, and the most profitable ones were of course pencils.

From the moment the letters of credence were signed, goods from the Three Kingdoms came in and money went out. It seemed that the Song State suffered a loss; but the items from the Song Kingdom went out But the water has been flowing steadily, and now the supply exceeds demand. In comparison, the Song Dynasty has earned more than half of the money it spent on buying grains.

The ministers in the court agreed that the money has been spent and should be earned back. Since it is a business, open the channel first ; On the contrary, foreign countries sold more, but our country sold less. In addition, the Song Dynasty was already poor, and the goods in the workshops were more expensive than grabbing money, so only a few rich people often bought them.

All the magical things of the new emperor, it turned out It was produced in an empty yard next to the palace, and later moved to Zhao Dian's yard. However, the business was so big that it really had to be moved to a new workshop.

When Cui Zheng came back to take charge of the workshop, everyone hoped that he would speed up production. Bijing can make money. The emperor reduces taxes and raises salary, but it doesn't make money? He will have to reduce salary and increase taxes again.
