Chapter 758: Wang Yun promised to help
The next day, Wang Yong found an opportunity, found Wang Yun, and asked her out for afternoon tea.
"There's been a lot of going on in the court recently, and I actually have to go out for tea with you." Coming to the box of the restaurant, Wang Yun looked at Wang Yong, who seemed to be really planning to invite himself to tea, and sighed.
"Combine work and rest, otherwise the work efficiency will decline." Wang Yong smiled, "Besides, the biggest thing in the imperial court today is nothing more than the obstruction of the promotion of high-yield crops. His Majesty supports and promotes, but the following does not cooperate, and you courtiers are caught in the middle. ”
"To put it mildly, high-yielding crops are too high-yielding!" Wang Yun was helpless, "I will directly lower the price of grain to an unbelievable price, and when the time comes, I will guard thousands of hectares of fertile land, and the money I earn will not even be able to make the monthly income of the clansmen......"
In addition, Wang Yong and others have discussed, if the military food is insufficient, then the war with Yuan Shao can last for at least five years, or even more than ten years, plus wars in other places. A large number of military purchase orders can make the family make a lot of money.
A lot of money is invested in it, whether it is connections, influence, or as a talent cultivation and marriage bargaining chip...... can bring great benefits to the family! And in the end, it is the ordinary people who lose money, as well as the court itself!
"That thing can make wine, whether it's potatoes or pumpkins, or even sweet potatoes and corn!" Wang Yong replied casually, "Although most of them are spirits, after blending, they may not be able to become good wines." Moreover, it is made into alcohol, and can even be purchased as military supplies. ”
"How much can that use?" Wang Yun probably knew that Wang Yong was here to be a lobbyist, and these were all discussed on Cao Cao's side, after all, Cao Cao was also the main force actively promoting high-yield crops.
It's a pity that she is only a general and belongs to the military. The military and the government are separated, so she can't directly participate in the formulation of policies. Many of her subordinates have entered the civil service, but their status is relatively low, and they do not have much power to speak.
The idea is good, but spirits have only started to appear on the market this year, which means that it will take a year to three years to develop the market to adapt to spirits. The sales during this period are certainly not as good as those of traditional wine.
"In the future, all military rations will be changed to high-yield crops, such as potatoes and corn...... Wang Yong said the second concept.
"You should know that the benefits of fighting for a few more years are much higher than for a year!" Wang Yun reminded.
"As a result of the war, there will be fewer and fewer troops, and the procurement of military rations will be less and less, and the longer the war will be fought. If the problem of military rations is too prominent, it is estimated that the promotion of high-yield crops will be compulsory. At that time, it is estimated that there will be bloodshed, after all, everyone is crazy. In addition, the continuous fighting will lead to a large number of young and strong people enlisting in the army, the population will be sharply reduced, and the sales of grain in the market will also be affected. What's worse is that even business will become depressed, and the stores you and I open now will be affected......" Wang Yong sighed.
Then he straightened his attitude and looked at Wang Yun: "Make money in business, or make money from farming, I don't need to say, my aunt should also understand, right?" Why, to do that thankless job?! ”
"That's it!" Wang Yun was convinced, "Originally, the Wang family and the Lu family had no interests in the Central Plains, not to mention that they were on His Majesty's side." What we have to face is actually a family from the Central Plains. At the same time, there is another family that can't be ignored, and that is the Hongnong Yang family! ”
Guanzhong is already the territory of the imperial court, and the location of the Hongnong Yang clan is naturally included. There are many children of that family who are officials in various places, and in the central government, Yang Biao is the assassin of Xuzhou, and Yang Xiu is the head chef of the imperial kitchen.
The imperial court had already planned to revise the local reforms, and the position of the local assassin during the period of Emperor Huan, which began to override the county guard and become a governor. Since this has become the case, it is logical to set up a governor of a state, and this governor is called a 'prefect'.
Of course, it is not as simple as changing the name, but it involves the redivision of several states, dividing two or three counties into one prefecture, and then setting up a prefect. The prefect had the status of being above the county guard, but it no longer had jurisdiction over four or five counties, and without full military force, its power was limited to a safe area.
At that time, Yang Biao will inevitably be the prefect, otherwise he will be transferred back to the central government to take up important positions, and the vacant position may be reserved for him.
"In addition to the Yang family, other families should not be underestimated, such as Yingchuan's side, the Guo family, the Xun family, the Xin family and the Zhong family are deeply rooted. Runan Yuan's half-ruined state, but don't forget that there is still a Yuan Shao, and the power in Runan is not weak. Xuzhou has the Cao family and the Chen family...... If one or two are not well coordinated, at a critical time, they will be held back, and the loss will be worse than the purchase of military rations for just five years. Wang Yun reminded.
The three of them also had a headache for this, so they couldn't directly support it. I can only say discuss, continue to discuss, find a balance, hello, hello, hello, everyone. The so-called politics is actually not like that?!
"That's why I hate politics, and this bad thing is no less." Wang Yong shook his head.
"But where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are many people, there is politics!" Wang Yun reminded.
"General Che Cai has already thought of a lot of ways to deal with it, all of them are Yang Mou...... Wang Yong reminded, "It is estimated that there are more and more ruthless tricks, but what has been revealed so far has made those families have no power to fight back." In fact, it is already good, at least the method of measuring acres has not been used. ”
"That's not going to die." Wang Yun shook his head. Which family did not hide some land properties under their names, and some ruthless ones, the hidden fields were even as high as 20% to 30% of the total field property. I confiscate it all in one breath and can bleed profusely.
But if you take back these crops and switch them to high-yielding crops, you can alleviate the problem. It's just as Wang Yun said, this is a reason for not dying, and Cao Cao issued a recruitment order.
"Tell me what the specific conspiracy is, and I'll help you figure it out. However, I'm going to discuss it with Lu Zhi! Wang Yun thought for a while, and finally looked at Wang Yong.
If the imperial court is determined to promote high-yield crops, then after weighing the pros and cons, they must also take a stand. Politics has no eternal friends and no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.
As Wang Yun said, neither she nor Lu Zhi's family is here, and no matter what they do, they can't hurt their family. There is no way to stand up and help promote, mainly because of things like affection and connections.
"Okay......" Wang Yong said the result of Cao Cao's discussion.
"This Cao Cao...... These tricks are ruthless enough. When Wang Yun heard this, she couldn't help but shake her head, "She is not worried, those families simply form an alliance directly, and then use the channel of Wanshiwu to transport the grain to Hebei or Jiangdong for sale?" ”
"It is estimated that when the time comes, additional regional protection taxes will be charged to these areas......" Wang Yong shrugged his shoulders, since he already planned to use taxes to regulate and control, would the tariffs be far away? Not to mention, Gan Ning's water army is not a vegetarian.
If you really want to go over, there will be no return directly, don't underestimate the ruthlessness of the poisoner!
