Seeing that the big merchants were lining up to go through the procedures for planting white stacked flowers, the retail investors who were lucky enough to receive the pioneer field immediately followed. In fact, they don't have a plan in their hearts about what to plant, and no one has ever planted outside the plug.

Conformity is another human nature, where there are more people queuing on the street, there are more people going there to buy things, and there are fewer and fewer people who have no business to buy. Buying things and eating is like this, and it's still the same when it's the turn to farm, the same.

"Officials, they all plant white stacked flowers, and I'm afraid that Sister Zhou can't be busy with the good style she found."

Seeing that there was a long queue of people who registered at the city gate, Wang Er changed from worrying about not enough people to signing up just now to worrying that there were too many people who signed up. It's not easy to be a manager, and the people who support it are less worried, and the more people who support it, have to worry more.

"They all say that you are Xiao Xingjun, I think it is a small gas lamp at most, not very bright. Do you have to go door-to-door to teach you how to grow? These people have basically planted the land, but they have never planted white stacked flowers, so it is not enough to find a time to gather everyone together and give a concentrated lecture. If you don't understand once, you will talk twice, and if you don't understand twice, you will talk three times, and those who still can't understand should starve to death! ”

The old man sent a few Uighurs on Monday and Sunday, and she not only sent people to the Western Regions to buy white stacked flowers, but also hired several local farmers who planted white stacked flowers at high prices. This move is very gratifying to Hong Tao, talents, leaders like such subordinates. If she says one, she can think of two, which is very worry-free for the leader.

Compared with Monday, there is still a bit of a gap between Wang Er and Wang Shi. Their knowledge is sufficient, but their understanding and experience of society are not enough, so they can't teach this thing by themselves, and they can only let time slowly sharpen it.

"Why didn't I think of such a simple solution?" Wang Er simply worships his adoptive father to death, why is it so simple when everything comes to him.

"Because you're still young......" Hong Tao really didn't think he was smart, this Nima is the habit of later generations. I always have a seminar, a study class, or something.

But I still can't explain this matter to the child, and I have to talk about it with my age. I just don't know what to say when these children are in their thirties and forties, and then encounter this kind of problem.

"Ah, Mrs. Ji is back, I'll go to greet you!"

In fact, Wang Er was indeed still a child, and when he saw a team of centaurs coming from the road to heaven from a distance, he immediately threw down his curiosity and ran away. Without it, Fu Ji's caravan can always bring back all kinds of food, clothes, jewelry and supplies, a girl's favorite!

Fu Ji brought back not only the daily necessities of Kaifeng, the family letter of the eldest princess, but also two very important news. Emperor Shenzong's health is fine, and this time he went back not only to see the emperor himself, but also to fight the flying eagle twice with the emperor.

In Fu Ji's words, the emperor is not seriously ill, but he is tired. According to the eldest princess, Emperor Shenzong slept no more than two hours a day, and his meals were also very irregular. If it's okay, just get a bunch of ministers to nest in the Chongzheng Hall and mutter, muttering something? This is a secret, and even the eldest princess does not know about it.

The emperor himself did not intend to hide it from his brother-in-law, and also brought a letter to the horse, or called it Zhongzhi. There are no requirements in it, just that Huangzhou and Ganliang Road are well managed, he is very pleased, and hopes that his brother-in-law will continue to work hard and so on.

The key sentence is in the second half of the letter, the emperor privately consulted Hong Tao, if the new army is used to deal with the Northern Dynasty, how large it will be necessary to be sure of victory, and a quick victory.

"It's really greedy enough to swallow elephants, Xixia hasn't done it neatly yet, and I'm worried about the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun again." This matter is really not good news for Hong Tao, the Liao State will solve it sooner or later, but not now, it is the most rational choice to solve the Western Xia first and avoid a two-front battle.

It can't be said that the Western Xia admits that it is really harmless, and the people who can't keep it are waiting for the moment when the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty start a war, and then suddenly make a move from the side, this possibility is very high.

Is the Northern Song Dynasty capable of even bringing the Western Xia with the Liao State? Definitely not anytime soon. The Liao State has a vast territory and great strategic depth, and losing a few cities will not hurt its bones at all. Once the fight starts, you have to do your best, where is it possible to have heavy troops on the Song-Xia border.

The new army is not a god, it can only focus on breakthroughs or key defenses in local wars, and it cannot fully suppress the Western Xia army without the containment of friendly forces, after all, the number is too small.

"If you rest later, you have to help the official write a letter to Your Majesty first, this matter must not be rushed!"

These words could not be said directly to Emperor Shenzong, he was currently in a state of bull's horns, and whoever opposed it was an enemy. He was already making enemies on all sides, and if he lost the emperor's trust, he would immediately be hurt by all kinds of slander.

But you can't watch Emperor Shenzong do this, you have to persuade him, how to persuade him? That's the question of means. First of all, you have to stand in the position of the emperor and highly agree with the emperor's proposition, the sixteen states of Youyun must be taken back, your idea is simply too far-sighted.

Then it's time to talk about difficulties, the training of the new army takes time, and even more money. At present, the treasury of the imperial court has improved slightly, but the cost of training a large number of new troops must make the emperor bite his back molars before he is willing to make a decision.

Is the cost of training and equipment alone? But it's far from it, counting on Weiqiao Town and Jinmingchi to supply 20,000 or 30,000 new troops is okay, or an ordinary training level, once it comes to wartime, it is estimated that 10,000 new troops will consume up the production capacity of two places.

10,000 new troops are definitely not enough, so why not 100,000. At least five or six more industrial bases on the scale of Weiqiao Town will be needed to barely start the war.

It is estimated that the emperor is about to drop the cup after reading this paragraph, so in the end, he has to cheer up the emperor and encourage him. He had to promise the emperor that he had earned money with his life, and he was eager to donate all his family property, and he had fulfilled his wishes.

If you endure it for a few more years, you must go on a northern expedition, and it is not enough to snatch the sixteen states of Yanyun, but you have to let the Liao State pay tribute to the Great Song Dynasty every year and be a vassal every year.

"If we really want to double the dividends to the imperial court, there will be nothing left in our family!" Fu Ji frowned as she wrote, and she couldn't help it when she finished writing.

It's hard for her to intervene in other things, but the concubine wants to double the dividends of the rice bag flower to the emperor, which is a bit distressing. She has to keep in mind how much she earns each year on this project.

"The hair is long and the knowledge is short, all the business of our family must rely on the official family, and the official family will not be comfortable, do you think we can toss as much as we want here? Go take a hot bath, your homework has fallen behind in the past two months, and the ancients should learn it from time to time, and not waste it. Let's start tonight, hehehehe......"

Money is necessary if you want to do something, but money is not so important to a certain extent. After all, money is for people, and people can't let money make gains and losses and tie their hands and feet.

Even if there was no emperor planning the Northern Expedition, Hong Tao planned to stop expanding the planting area of rice sac flowers and devote more energy to cotton cloth. It just so happens that I can take this opportunity to simply give it to the imperial court, and I can also show that I am extremely loyal to the emperor.

In fact, many people don't understand it, including the people around them. Whether you can make money or not does not depend entirely on the level of technology, but mainly on the trust of the emperor.

There are no fixed rules in a society governed by one person, and the knowledge of how to hold thick legs is more advanced than any MBA. Chinese people have studied for hundreds of thousands of years, but they still haven't solved a problem, how to prolong the time of holding thick legs.

No matter how thick your legs are, there will be a time when you step down, and if you don't step down, you have to die. Then, the new forces came to power and reshuffled the cards. At this time, the former vested interests often become the target of attack, and there are not many successful cases of seamless conversion between the old thick leg and the new thick leg, and barely keeping it from being targeted is victory, and it is almost impossible to develop again.

Hong Tao is currently experimenting with this new technology to see if there can be a breakthrough. The rice sac flower is a gift from himself to Emperor Shenzong, what about the next emperor? It can't be said that when Shenzong was in power, he worked hard before and after the saddle, and the new emperor didn't contribute bullshit.

The new emperor has a new atmosphere, and he must give a new gift, preferably more powerful than the rice bag flower, so that the new emperor can be satisfied, and at the same time, it is possible to continue to trust himself.
