Saying that, Cai Ting got on the horse and left. (

This is a kind of recognition, but also a kind of helplessness, if you want to repel the Xixia people, it seems that Wang Ju is indispensable.

Looking at the back of him leaving, the second eldest son said: "Da Lang, it's really good, much better than that grandson." ”

Wang Ju smiled slightly, smiling even more than Cai Ting.

The second eldest son was happy, but he didn't know the difference between Cai Ting's coming and not coming.

Until now, Wang Ju's first big stone fell to the ground. There are also two stones, the second stone is that Cai Ting can't go too far, and the Xixia people are scared to come, maybe someone in the court is happy, but he is sad. The third stone is that you don't want to overload your hatred value. After all, the Xixia people are 100,000 as soon as they go out, and it is enough to besiege Dashun City with 50,000 horses, and the rest do not attack Rouyuan Village, concentrate on attacking Liyuan Fort, this is not terrible, I am afraid that the siege of Liyuan Fort will not use 50,000 soldiers and horses, one twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses is enough, and the remaining twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses will make a detour to attack Huachi Town. Then he will usher in another extinction crisis.

But in any case, the first and most important level is overcome.

So he looked at the craftsmen and said, "Cai Gong is very satisfied, and so is so-and-so, so I announce that I will reward each of you with twenty silks." ”

More than 100 craftsmen and apprentices immediately cheered.

Wang Ju looked at the west, and there were three forts in the west, Dashun City, Rouyuan Village, and Liyuan Fort.

The qiē I did was for the sake of the three forts.

…………

Zhu Qing continued to carry the goods with the merchants and came to the border.

The border is quiet.

Zhu Qing's eyelids jumped a few times, but he still walked out of the crowd. Clapped his hands.

However, no one came out.

Zhu Qing looked around worriedly. Just as he was looking around. Groups of Tanguts came out and surrounded them.

"What are you going to do?" The other steward asked loudly.

"It's not wordy," the two soldiers pushed the steward aside and began to search the goods, and when they found Zhu Qing's side, they finally saw a jar of wine. One said, "That's it." ”

The soldiers quickly gathered around, opened the carriages, and inspected them one by one. Then the cart with the wine jar was pushed out separately, and then a general said: "The commander of my family has an order, and from now on, the Song Dynasty will not be allowed to sell this kind of soju into the country, otherwise it will be confiscated." ”

The rest of the goods did not move, but more than 500 jars of wine were taken away along with more than 30 carts and cattle pulling them.

Seeing them gone, the stewards and servants of the various families gathered around them in confusion and asked strangely, "Why do you want to ban alcohol?" ”

"It's so unbelievable, they say it's forbidden, I haven't caught their green salt."

Some of them really care. Some are gloating, and this soju profit makes them red-eyed.

Zhu Qing flicked his sleeves and said, "There is no wine." There are no weapons and war horses, and maybe the Western Xia people plundered the city of Gyeongju last year. ”

"Steward Zhu, don't be angry, you go back and report to Wang Zhixian, fortunately, they didn't move."

Zhu Qing rode back to Huachi County with a gloomy face.

After Wang Ju heard this, he patted Zhu Qing on the shoulder and said, "Manager Zhu, they are right, if there is no accident, I will be happy." ”

"Wang Zhixian, some people are gloating."

Wang Ju was happy: "Steward Zhu, think about it, when we changed horses, didn't the people on the other side of the mountain really know what these horses were used for?" It is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits, how many people will be truly patriotic? There is one thing that I did not tell anyone that there are more doctors in business now, and if he does not pay attention, he will have a difficult future. ”

"Someone?"

"Someone very important, maybe you'll find out this time next year."

Wang Ju didn't say it, and Zhu Qing didn't ask.

Wang Ju continued: "Actually, even my grandfather and Dong Weng are difficult to say that they are patriotic, I can only say that they will leave room for doing things, and they are not as black-hearted as some businessmen. The problem is not big, that is, the loss of 20,000 catties of wine, plus the cost of livestock and vehicles is only 1,000 yuan. Steward Zhu, even your life is worth more than a dozen thousand yuan. ”

"That's, it's not tens of thousands, don't want to take my life," Zhu Qing also laughed, and said: "Forget this loss, what will I do in the future?" ”

"There is a way, not to fight a military war, to fight an economic war, I have thousands of ways to make the Western Xia side lose very badly." Wang Ju comforted: "But don't be in a hurry for the time being, I have to send someone to check." You go back and rest first. ”

"Okay."

"Zi'an, I guess it's that Song Ji's bad idea."

"Most likely, Brother Zishen, I'm thinking about one thing, the small lord of Western Xia is going around to recruit the down-and-out literati on my border, what if I also find a few down-and-out literati and create some illusions, so that they have an excuse to go to the other side of the mountain?"

"This seems to be a solution...... Ge Shaohua thought for a while and said: "But it may not be appropriate, first, they may not be able to avoid the interrogation of the Western Xia people, and they will inevitably be interrogated, including that Jingxun and Song Ji." The second is that they may not be able to be reused, and if they can't get reuse, the value is not great, and if they are reused, their official positions may be higher than Zi'an's, and they enjoy the glory and wealth over there, how can they ensure their loyalty? ”

"What if Cai Gong comes forward?"

"Cai Gong came forward, the status is enough, but there is another one that is also restricted, which is different from the wild monk Wang Song used by Shiheng, this incubation time is very long, but I am the official system, a few years of migration, just say Gyeongju Zhizhou, Jiayou eight years is Han Jiang, the first year of Zhiping is Sun Changqing, the second year of Zhiping to this spring is Sun Wei, and now it is replaced by Cai Gong, and in just a few years, four governors have been changed. Cheng Gong has been in Yanzhou for several years, and this is a special case. Therefore, the border policy lacks continuity, if it is transferred to several important states on the border, it can still control the scribes who are lurking, and if it is transferred back to the Central Plains or Jiangnan, those few chess pieces will not be able to control it. Unless it can affect the official family, the official family will preside over it personally. But if you want to affect the official family, it's so difficult to ......"

Wang Ju touched his chin, he can't influence the "official family" this year, but what about next year?

Ge Shaohua said again: "Actually, Zi'an, you have done a good job, if you make a few more military exploits, have political achievements, and then launch that math book, you will be an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and maybe you will be able to affect the official family." But it's too young, including this design to let Cai Gong come to Gyeongju, how much energy did it take Zi'an? If you keep up with the age and directly serve as the governor of Gyeongju, why bother? ”

Although Cai Ting came to Gyeongju, it seems that it is much better than the previous two governors. However, Ge Shaohua is still very skeptical, at least he thinks that Cai Ting's military talent is far inferior to Wang Ju.

Wang Ju smiled bitterly.

"Zishen, you underestimate Cai Gong too much."

If you talk about military value, in Wang Ju's eyes, the highest civil and military military value in the Song Dynasty and the Manchu Dynasty is Cai Ting, not Wang Shao and Zhang Qi, these two people grow up, that will leave Cai Ting far behind, but now these two people are growing, Wang Shao is about to catch up with Cai Ting, but now it has not reached Cai Ting's height.

It's not good to plant a seed, and the seed at the peak is not as good as the current Cai Ting, don't look at the fame of the seed. Whether it is the defeat of the Five Roads or the death of Yongle City, there is a kind of responsibility.

Neither can you yourself.

Don't look at yourself in Huachi County, the county is small and has few troops. Put it on Huanqing Road, there are many troops, the place is large, if it is handed over to your own command, there will be horses' feet immediately, and it is not good to have a golden finger, once the details are not paid attention to, you can make the enemy further enlarged, and finally lead to a great defeat.

Just this one-acre and three-point land, let yourself operate just right.

But Ge Shaohua is also reasonable.

It's a great opportunity, but my age and official position are restricted, so I can't use it.

Thinking of this, he looked at the Helan inkstone again, if this Helan inkstone is used well, it will also make the Xixia people fatal, but in the same way, his official position is not enough, and the wealth in his hands is not enough, it is a good strategy, but it cannot be used immediately.

"Zi'an, what are you going to do?"

"Okay, think about it, why don't they dare to hurt people, and they don't touch other people's goods?"

"The Western Xia side needs supplies from my court."

"Not only that, like my dynasty, this private businessman involves too large a circle of interests, and Western Xia is semi-feudal...... Half of it is the centralized system of imperial power in our dynasty, and half is the system of alliance of various ethnic groups, except for a few chiefs, the remaining chieftains have a certain degree of autonomy in their hands. And most of the people involved in private business there are influential figures of various ethnic groups on the other side of the mountain. At the same time, there is a military service system, except for a few permanent soldiers, the rest of the soldiers are mostly from their various tribes. I don't dare to strictly inspect Qingyan, so do you really dare to completely ban private business? ”

"They only forbid alcohol."

"I only ban green salt."

"The green salt market is bigger."

"By the way, this is the market, if I give them a big enough market, will that little leaf dare to forcibly ban it? In fact, there are many forms of war between the two countries, and military war is only one of them, as well as diplomatic wars, commercial wars, and currency wars. Western Xia wants to ban soju, so I might as well give them a soju war. ”

"Shochu Wars?"

"Yes, I'll give this hairy boy a vivid lesson in education soon, but before I can do that, I have to find out."

"It's easy to understand."

"Well, don't use the people over there, and don't use the White Army, just inquire carefully when other private traders are trading."

But Wang Ju also neglected the power of soju, and when he sent someone to inquire about the news, Cai Ting called him to Gyeongju, and said as soon as they met: "Shochu is banned over there in Western Xia?" ”

"Cai Gong also knows?"

"How can the old man not know about such a big thing?"

"Big?" Wang Ju confused Cai Ting's headless words. Maybe it's a big deal for him, but on Huanqing Road, it's a big deal?

"This one is a bit of a hassle." Cai Ting said embarrassedly.

Wang Ju was even more confused, and asked strangely: "Gong Cai, the lower officials don't understand." (To be continued!)
