Chapter 499: It's Good to Herd Sheep (Today's Fifth Watch)

The entire tribe is almost packed, and it doesn't matter if you run one or two, and these people will definitely go to other tribes in the future, and then they will naturally exaggerate and boast about the power of the new weapons of the Song army.

Sure enough, soon after, more and more Qiang people came to Wang Shao to surrender, and there were gradually legends among the Qiang people that the Great Song Dynasty got the gods and Buddhas and sent thunder to help the Song army.

Seeing that there were more and more Qiang people surrendering, Shen Long found Wang Shao and asked, "Zichun, what are you going to do with these surrendered Qiang people?" "If it's not handled well, it's also a problem.

"The barbarians are afraid of power but not virtue, and now the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty is growing, oh, this is all thanks to the help of the Taoist chief." Wang Shao thanked Shen Long, and then said, "With a certain plan, I am going to draw strong people from these tribes to form a Tibetan army, my Great Song cavalry is not as good as the Western Xia and the party, if you can form the cavalry of the Tibetan army, it will be of great benefit to the future attack on Western Xia." ”

"As for the division of other tribes, re-divide the pastures for them to graze their horses and sheep, and be sure to prevent the emergence of people who can unify the tribes, so as to ensure peace." Wang Shao came up with his own plan, he felt that Shen Long must have a deep meaning in asking this, so he asked rhetorically, "Dare to ask the chief what is the trick?" ”

"These methods are not bad, but the requirements for the person to preside over Qin Fenglu are stricter, if Zichun stays in Qinfeng Road, he should be safe and sound, but whether it is Zichun himself or the imperial court, he must not be willing, right?" Shen Long said with a smile, Wang Shao himself also has the desire to be promoted, his goal is the Privy Council, it is impossible to stay in the northwest for the rest of his life, and the imperial court is also afraid that Wang Shao will become bigger, and he will definitely be called back to Beijing after Qin Fenglu is pacified in a few years.

Let a person as capable as Wang Shao operate in one place for a long time, this is not in line with political conventions, let alone the Great Song Dynasty, even if it is not realistic to put it in later generations, Wang Shao is not a family and a family can be compared, the family and the family are operated in a place, and it is located on the border of the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia, and the strength that can be expanded is limited.

What Wang Shao will be in charge of in the future is the land of the road, such a large territory already has the potential to divide one side, and of course the imperial court will not let him stay here; But among the officials of the Great Song Dynasty, how many of them can compare with Wang Shao? If it is replaced with a waste, the northwest will surely be eroded again.

This is the case in history, Wang Shao just left on the front foot, and the Qiang people on the back foot surrounded Hezhou, if Wang Shao did not return urgently and attacked the Qiang capital, his years of hard work would have been in vain.

"Hey, if I'm not proud, I'm afraid there aren't many princes in the court who can know a little about the affairs of the northwest." Wang Shao sighed, and he had similar concerns.

"It's easy to say, Zichun came to see this album." Shen Long took out a few pieces of paper and handed them over, relying on personal strength alone is unreliable, and other methods need to be used here.

Wang Shao took it and took a look, but what was painted on it was some kind of machine, which seemed to be used for weaving, but the existing looms in the Great Song Dynasty were different, Wang Shao asked curiously, "Dao Chief, what is this for?" ”

"It is used to spin wool into threads." Shen Longyou took out a thread group, a sweater and handed it to Wang Shao, "The Qiang people could only eat meat when they raised sheep before, and mutton could not be hidden for a long time. ”

"Wool can be stored for a long time, buy wool from the Qiang people, transport it back to Guanzhong to weave into threads, and then weave sweaters and sell them to other places, which is several times the profit; In this way, Guanzhong became rich, and the Qiang people were able to make some money, and with the money, they could buy food from the Great Song Dynasty to survive the white and black disasters, and then let them read and write, and in the long run, there would be little difference between the Qiang and Song people. Shen Long explained.

Wang Shao stretched out his hand and touched the sweater, feeling much warmer than the popular linen, which is suitable for places like the northwest, and it can definitely be sold at a good price, "The Taoist is really powerful, and the wool that was originally useless can also be conjured into this kind of good thing, which can be called turning stones into gold!" ”

"I didn't do it, I just reminded it, and then Su Zirong took a few students to make up this thing, according to my thoughts, I can also tell this matter to the Yao family, the folding family, the planting family, the Qu family and some local heroes in Shaanxi, and spend a sum of money to buy this kind of machinery from the school." Naturally, the share of the Wang family is indispensable.

"On weekdays, everyone opens their own factories, but every year before buying wool from the Qiang people, party members, and even the Khitan people, it is best for everyone to get together and discuss and set a suitable purchase price, so as not to compete with each other and let others take advantage." It's the same when it comes to sales, and at the initial stage, price alliances are necessary.

The Great Song Dynasty now has guilds in all walks of life, and Xu Xian has to worship the Three Emperors Patriarch Association when he opens a clinic, which Wang Shao also knows, and he immediately thought of the benefits of this matter.

Each company opened a factory separately, which was not easy to cause taboos in the imperial court, and unified consultation when purchasing and selling could form a unified price and increase their own income.

"And from now on, you can use wool to control those Qiang." With the understanding of the industrial and agricultural scissors, and the control methods of the plantation colonies in European and American countries, there are many ways to do this.

"Yes, if that tribe is disobedient, everyone will not accept his wool, and when the time comes, there is no need for the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to conquer, and his subordinates should rebel! And rebellion is risky, is it not good to enjoy the money earned from buying wool? "This is a soft knife that kills people without seeing blood.

Wang Shao only saw this, but he didn't notice that this matter also had a huge impact within the Great Song Dynasty, so many local generals and heroes were not small forces, and after a few years, their strength became stronger and stronger, and they dared to fight for their own interests.

What should I do if the wool produced by the Qiang tribes around me is no longer able to meet the production needs? Use the knife to lay a bigger ground! Originally, the Central Plains and the Quartet barbarians fought at a loss, but now the war can bring benefits, and these generals and heroes are not like fighting chicken blood?

As for those conquered barbarians, let's raise sheep for the Great Song Dynasty, and when the child is born, I will herd sheep with the adults, and then sell sheep to marry a daughter-in-law and have a baby, and then herd sheep to marry a daughter-in-law when the baby grows up, well, isn't this day also very good!
