Chapter 462: Three Rich Guys
This is the person who understands military affairs, look, so many ministers now know about it, but who thought of Dong Yu?
Wang Ju thought in his heart.
But Zhang Qi doesn't care, he has long looked up to Wang Ju, is this a good deck of cards, Wang Ju can't think of it?
"I don't know if Zi Anke wrote to Dong Yu?"
"Not yet, I'm preparing to go to Luoyang to meet you, and then discuss together, what tone to use to impress him."
"That's good, according to my opinion, Zi'an had better not write to him. If he comes, he will come even if he doesn't write a letter, after all, Tubo is also poor, such a big bargain, doesn't Dong Yu pick it up? If he doesn't come, even if Zi'an and I write to him together, with your and my qualifications and prestige, it may not impress him, on the contrary, it may even have the opposite effect. In case Wang Shao goes west in the future, and because of Zi'an's letter, I will receive Dong Yu's love from all over the court, and Wang Shao will not be able to take advantage of the righteousness at that time. ”
Not only can he not take advantage of the righteousness, but there may be people in China who use this to make a fuss to prevent Wang Shao from opening the border.
"Brother Qianfu is reasonable," Wang Ju was shocked.
It's not that Wang Ju didn't expect it, the time was too urgent, and in the past three or four days, in addition to hurrying, he was arranging supplies, and he didn't have time to think about it at all.
Even if this conversation gets out, maybe there will be many people who can't understand what they're talking about. However, for the two of them, Zhang Ji didn't say any more, and asked: "Zi'an, do you plan to go here but seek no fault, or do you want to establish miracle skills?" ”
"But how to say that there is no fault, how to say that you want to be innocent, and how to say that you want to build miracles?"
"But it's very simple to be innocent, to defend Dashun City and Anjiang Fort, the more enemy troops there are. The greater the consumption. With the financial resources of Western Xia. It is definitely not possible to prepare the grain and grass consumed by hundreds of thousands of troops for several months, and once the grain and grass of Western Xia is exhausted, it will withdraw by itself. However, there are still risks associated with doing so. ”
"Tell me what the risks are?"
"Since the Western Xia sent troops to Dashun City, they must also expect that our court will do this, so there are two possibilities, the first is to attack, but it will not attack Anjiang Fort, and the road over there is even more rugged. Even if Anjiang Fort is breached, hundreds of thousands of troops and a large number of grain and grass materials will not be quickly passed, so it is bound to storm Dashun City. Although Dashun City is strong, if Western Xia is determined to attack and has so many soldiers and horses, it may not be impossible to break through. As soon as Dashun City was broken, hundreds of thousands of troops poured into Gyeongju unimpeded, and Gyeongju was in danger. There is also a possibility, that is, the troops are divided into two routes, all the way to attack the forts in front of Huanzhou. With such a large number of troops, even if the troops are divided into two ways. The strength is not weak either. If that is the case, there will be more variables, and the weakness of our army's small strength will be infinitely magnified, and it will be more dangerous at that time...... Moreover, relying on the two cities to hold on, the Western Xia army rejected Hengshan, and could not maximize the strength of the Yanyan Road and Jingyuan Road. ”
"So how do you build miracles?"
"Put!"
"Put?"
"Re-destroy Anjiang Fort."
If the person listening was not Wang Ju, he would have thought that Zhang Ji was crazy.
But Wang Ju was thinking about it seriously, and said after a long time: "Wonderful." ”
Zhang Qi said again: "It's just that like that, more money will be spent, and more grain and grass will be consumed." ”
The cost of transporting food is not proportional to the quantity, but rather an increasing proportion.
The tighter the time, the more grain and grass are transported, and the greater the proportion of loss. If the time is not in a hurry, a thousand stone millet will be transported from Zhengbaiqu to Gyeongju, and it will only take about 20 days to go back and forth. The two hundred baggage wagons used required a maximum of five hundred soldiers, and the two hundred stones of corn consumed were sufficient. The price of millet that was intended to be sent out from Zheng Baiqu was 100,000 wen per stone, and 1,000 stone was 100,000 wen, plus the wear and tear of the carts, the death and injury of livestock, and various subsidies such as "pickle money", at most 1560,000 wen. Divided by 800 stones, the cost of one stone is only 200 yuan. However, if 10,000 stone of grain is transported to Gyeongju in a short period of time, the cost of one stone may rise to 300 or 400 wen. If 50,000 stone is transported, it can rise to 500 wen and 600 wen.
This refers to the use of free van troops and civilian husbands, if handed over to merchants, all hired people, plus labor costs, that cost is unimaginable.
Therefore, during the Qingli War, the average price of a bucket of millet transferred from the rear to the front line could reach a high price of 400 Wen, so one stone could reach nearly 4,000 Wen!
Moreover, the transportation of materials in the previous battle of Luowucheng has already made the people of Shaanxi miserable.
"It doesn't matter if you do this, you can move the people to the rear to eat."
"Eating is a solution, but it's cold."
"The weather is cold, our side is in great difficulty, and the enemy is even more difficult."
While the two were talking, Yelong Basheng came in to report: "Ming Gong, Su Ziyou wants to see you with an old gentleman." ”
"Let him in," but Wang Ju thought about it and greeted him at the door of the inn.
Behind Xiao Su stood an old man in cloth with a thin appearance.
"Please come in, please come in, this is ......"
"He is Mr. An Le, Shao Kangjie."
"Shao Yong?"
"It's the old man who has seen Zi'an." Shao Yong bowed, and his posture was still good.
Wang Juxin said, just right, but said, "Please come in." ”
Bring the two of them into the inn and let them sit down.
Wang Ju asked: "I don't know why Brother Ziyou brought Mr. Shao to visit?" ”
"Mr. An Le is a strange man, and I will introduce it to you for him."
Talents, the court should reuse them, but Xiao Su's words are not words, at least not as effective as Wang Ju's words. So I brought Shao Yong to introduce him to Wang Ju.
"Introducing it for Shao Yong, my brain can't be broken," Wang Ju thought again, and said, "Brother Ziyou, I have left the capital, how can I introduce it for Mr. Shao?" ”
"Zi'an, you might as well let Mr. Shao go to Gyeongju with you."
That's a great way to do it!!
As long as Shao Yong followed Wang Ju to Gyeongju, and Wang Ju did not make a big mistake in Gyeongju, then with this resume, everyone recommended it, and Shao Yong could enter Zhao Yong's field of vision. This "strange man" will be reused for the country.
Wang Ju was speechless.
During the Qing Dynasty of the Song Dynasty, there were three gentlemen in Confucianism, Hu Jin, Sun Fu, and Shi Jie, but that was in the past.
Now there are five gentlemen, Zhang Zai, Zhou Dunxi, Shao Yong and Ercheng brothers. Zhang Zai has the highest status in Wang Ju's heart, followed by Zhou Dunxi. Although Wang Ju did not approve of Zhou Dunxi's doctrine. But they are disgusted with Shao Yong and Ercheng.
His dislike for Shao Yong has nothing to do with Shao Yong's slander of Wang Anshi's father and son. Instead, he was disgusted with Shao Yong holding a Book of Changes in Luoyang every day, running to the rich and noble house, pretending to be a ghost, cheating to eat and drink. Are you a master of Confucianism, or a god?
Wang Ju smiled and said: "Mr. Shao, I heard one thing, during the Zhiping period, you took a few guests to Luoyang Tianjin Bridge for a walk, and heard the sound of birds singing in the air. Suddenly, his face turned miserable. The guest was puzzled. You sighed, this is the sound of the cuckoo, Luoyang has never been before, but now they are flying from the south, thinking that the country has changed since then, and misfortune has begun here. The guest still doesn't understand, and you say that everything is connected, and according to the I Ching, there are signs of rise and fall in the world. The cuckoo bird flew to Luoyang, which is also a sign. This indicates that it will not be three or five years. The emperor must use a southerner as the prime minister, and at that time, the southerners will form a party and disrupt the government, and the world will be in chaos. The guests were shocked. You also explained that the kingdom will be ruled greatly, and the earth will be from the north to the south. The country will be in chaos, and the earth will go from south to north, which is a difficult reason for the ages. Now that the southern earth has reached Luoyang, is it still far from the closure? ”
Xiao Su Xin said, it's going to be bad.
What Wang Ju hates most is this north-south dispute.
is like the four people sitting here, they are neither south nor north, but Zhang Qi is an authentic southerner.
But Shao Yong didn't know where.
First of all, Wang Ju is a northerner, and secondly, although Wang Ju is not a conservative, he doesn't seem to be a changer, otherwise he wouldn't be friendly with Xiao Su. Therefore, he didn't pay attention to Xiao Su's face at all, and said, "Yes, it's a pity." ”
Wang Ju did not refute, but said: "Mr. Shao has such a talent, can you know some signs of all things and tell me the victory or defeat of this trip?" ”
"This ......"
"Please."
"Then the old decay is embarrassed for a while, Zi'an is going to Gyeongju, there is peace in the fierce, and there is evil in the evil."
"What does it mean to have peace in the murder and the evil in the evil?"
"Static braking is safety, and dynamic control is the evil."
"I still don't quite understand, can I make it clearer."
"In the season of earth storage, the Lord is quiet and does not take the initiative."
"It seems to make some sense, but what is stillness and what is movement?"
"Defend for quiet, attack for movement."
If this sentence is placed in the court, it can really confuse many people, 80,000 versus 300,000, the difference in strength is so large, but the side of 80,000 has the forts to hold on, will it still take the initiative to attack?
Wang Ju suddenly laughed back and forth, and said after laughing: "Mr. Shao, you are wrong, this trip is the opposite of what you said, not to brake with static, but to control static with movement." Am I going to be a big murderer? ”
Is it a big murderer, dare you say a big murderer? You must know that the second master of the first Dashun City victory is in front of him, and he is a person who really understands military affairs.
Shao Yong's face suddenly became embarrassed.
"Also, Mr. Shao, I still don't understand, if according to Mr. Shao, the earth qi will go from north to south, and the country will be greatly governed, but what if this earth qi comes from the Khitan?"
That's not a big rule, it's a real big mess.
This immediately stumped Shao Yong, but Wang Ju didn't wait for him to come up with a statement, so he turned his head to look at Xiao Su and said: "Brother Ziyou, before Jiefu Gong changed the law, he had a conversation with Sima Gong, and Jiefu Gong said that the people do not add endowments and the country uses it for its own use. Sima Gong retorted, there are only so many treasures in heaven and earth, and if you are not in the government, you are in the people, what you said about not adding money and using the country for its own use is nothing more than secretly doing tricks and feet to seize the people's wealth, which is worse than adding money, at least there is a basis and a specific figure for adding money. This is how Sang Hongyang confused Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, who doesn't know? ”
"Sima Gong is the virtuous minister of the country." Shao Yong said immediately.
Xiao Su secretly complained bitterly, the relationship between Wang Ju and Sima Guang is like fire and water, you are good, praise Sima Guang in person is a virtuous minister of the country. Only then did he realize that it was a mistake to bring Shao Yong over to recommend.
Wang Ju ignored Shao Yong, this is just a magic stick, he is worried about Xiao Su.
Fan Chunren is the son of Fan Zhongyan, and he is a snow lotus on the Tianshan Mountain, so it is impossible to disdain himself as a layman.
Lu Huiqing is ambitious, and she may not be a good friend in the future.
They have to be fireproof, anti-theft, and anti-Zengbu.
I wrote a letter to Shen Kuo, Shen Kuo replied very politely, asking for a lot of knowledge, and he wrote a second letter to Shen Kuo not long ago, but he may not become good friends in the future.
Zhang Shangying's side couldn't find an excuse to contact each other.
So his real friends now are only Zhang Dian, Zhang Qi and Xiao Su.
He didn't want Xiao Su to be brainwashed by this group of people in the future.
Therefore, Wang Ju continued: "Actually, Jiefu Gong is right, has the Kapok Division been endowed? Far from giving more money to the people, it has brought millions of dollars a year to the country and has enabled many extremely poor people to live. This wealth can be grown, and when the wealth grows, the country's income will naturally increase. Theoretically, then, it can be done without endowment and for the country's own use. However, Sima Gong was also right, there was a way to use the country for its own use without endowment, but Jiefu Gong did not find out much. Many of his changes are actually reapportioning wealth. However, Sima Guang deliberately omitted a strict question here. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Jiefu Gong's change is to re-distribute the people's wealth, but this people's wealth also has to be divided, the people's wealth of the powerful and powerful, the people's wealth of ordinary large households in the second-class households, the people's wealth of the small and medium-sized main households of the third- and fourth-class households, and the people's wealth of the poor households below the fifth class. In the last years of peace, the country was impoverished and owed astronomical debts. But the poverty of the country does not mean that ordinary people have become rich, the second-class households are a little better, the third-class households are facing great survival pressure, and the fourth-class households are getting poorer and poorer, otherwise there will not be so many thieves in the country to harm the people. That is, the two ends are small and the middle is large. ”
"And this is the most dangerous thing, the country is poor, and when it encounters a special problem, it does not have enough financial resources to solve it. After four years of drought, because of this poverty, let the victims find their own way. What if the drought continues? Or this year, as in the fourth year of peace, 300,000 enemies will invade, how will the country respond? ”
"As for the poor people at the bottom of the ordinary people, the crisis is even stricter, they are the largest group in the country, if they can't survive one by one, will there be a second Zhangjiao Yellow Nest?"
"There are thousands of tenant farmers in Han Gong's family, which is almost the same as the total number of households in a small state army, so Han Gong spent a huge amount of money to build the Dayjin Hall in Xiangzhou. You are all in Luoyang, and you should know that the rich man's family property is no less than millions. Gong Wen's family also has a lot of property, just like that, his family is still lending usury for profit. They are all famous ministers and important ministers that the people of the world hope for. Is this normal? (To be continued......) R1292
