Chapter 500 Sima Guang wants to betray the country
Well, in Guanzhong, a textile industry alliance based on animal husbandry was cultivated, and near Kaifeng, Shen Long also sold cement and glass manufacturing methods.
Those who sell these two patents are either relatives of the royal family, or members of the Gao family, Cao family, Xiang family, and Pan family. In fact, these two groups of people are similar. The emperors of the Song Dynasty all like to marry into these families and interact with each other. You can always get relatives if you try hard. These people are deeply rooted in Kaifeng, and they have the ability to protect these interests from being taken away by other forces.
And there is another advantage to this matter. The biggest opponents of Wang Anshi's reform were the landlords and literati led by Sima Guang and Wen Yanbo, followed by these noble relatives, who often reported to the Queen Mother in the palace.
As a result, Empress Dowager Cao and Empress Dowager Gao kept asking Zhao Xu to remove Wang Anshi from the prime minister, and frequently said that "the laws of the ancestors cannot be easily changed." Shen Long really didn't believe it. Did Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi say that the harem could be involved in politics?
Hey, Wang Anshi is the same, why don't you imitate Zhang Juzheng and have a good relationship with the Queen Mother? Well, this doesn't seem to work, Zhang Juzheng is a handsome guy, and the Queen Mother will naturally like him when he sees him. Wang Anshi is very handsome, but he is not good-looking at all.
Now that they have received such a huge financial source from Shen Long, and the school will continue to launch various profitable businesses, how can they still take care of this? Director Shen, Su Song, and Wang Anshi have a very good relationship Yes, if I offend Wang Anshi, what will I do if they don’t bring me along next time if they have a hugely profitable business like glass or cement?
Therefore, even if they did not stand up to support Wang Anshi's reform, they would not create too many obstacles for Wang Anshi. After Wang Anshi's improved new law was introduced, the number of people who stood up to oppose it was much less than what he had seen from the history books, but Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others were equally stubborn, and they quarreled with Wang Anshi in the court every day.
This made Wang Yu a little impatient. He mentioned this matter to Shen Long several times, openly and secretly, as if he wanted Shen Long to help kill these old guys quietly.
I have to say that although Wang Yu's methods are rough, they are very practical. If Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and others can be dealt with, and the old party has no leading figures, it will be easier for the new party to advance its policies, right?
The suggestion put forward by Shen Long was approved by Wang Shao. He immediately wrote a letter to the Zhong family, Qu family, Zhe family, etc., asking them to send someone who could walk the talk to meet at Jingzhao Mansion.
Then Wang Hou personally accompanied Shen Long to Jingzhao Mansion to meet with these people. In a manor outside Chang'an City, Shen Long asked his students to give them a demonstration. These people saw wool being spun. The machine spun the wool into pieces, and then watched a student with dexterity knitting the wool into a sweater. My eyes almost popped out at that time. Is there such a magical thing in the world?
After trying on the newly knitted sweaters one by one, they were full of praise. It was always bitterly cold in the northwest, but they felt much warmer when wearing sweaters. As long as these things can be knitted, they can sell as many as they want, and they can still sell them. High price!
Not only to be sold in the Song Dynasty, but also to the barbarians. Think about it, those barbarians worked hard to raise sheep. In the end, they sold wool that could weave more than ten sweaters. In the end, they could only exchange it for one sweater. The scissors were almost the same. How cool! This is the exploitation of agricultural raw material production areas by industrialized products!
"Taoist Master, please tell me, what should we do to get these things? As long as we can do it, I will never say anything about it!" They are all from the general family, so they don't have to talk in a roundabout way like those literati. Someone asked on the spot. price.
"Since I show it to you, I naturally want to hand over this technology to you." Shen Long said with a smile, "First of all, this money is naturally indispensable. Not only do you have to spend a sum of money to buy out the patent for this technology, , in the next ten years, a portion of the profits will be given to Su Zirong and others who invented these machines every year..."
"Correspondingly, we also guarantee that this technology will not be passed from our hands to others." As for whether anyone here leaks it, I can't control it, but these are the soldiers who lead the war, and they should keep this secret for ten years. Years should not be a problem, and there are only a few places where wool is produced. Even if others steal the technology, it still depends on whether they agree to purchase the wool.
Do you really think that the knives in these people's hands are just for food? Stealing people's money is like killing their parents. They can use knives to get in. Even if they don't dare to kill the mastermind behind the scenes, the people they send to buy wool promise to kill every one of them. Ten deaths, five pairs, and then report the unfortunate death of party member Xiang Tanma on a certain road.
Apart from these, there is the matter of them forming a price alliance. Each of these companies has its own territory, and no one can stop the others. Agreeing is the best choice.
There was nothing to say about paying. They would definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to buy such a good thing. Only the ten-year patent fee made them a little uncomfortable. But now that Shen Long had the initiative, they had no choice but to agree.
So Shen Long left a few students with them and taught them how to build textile machines, how to build factories, how to train workers, and how to spin and knit sweaters.
After watching Jingzhao Mansion for a while, Shen Long returned to the front line and helped Wang Shao surrender the Qiang leader Yu Longke, defeated another leader Xiazheng, and recovered Xi, He, Tao, Min, and Tongyuan. He opened up countless important areas for the Song Dynasty, and Wang Shao was promoted to an official position.
A few years earlier than in history, he became a minister of Longtuge and learned about Xizhou. The students sent by Shen Long to the army also obtained official positions. Under the influence of this and the role of the woolen mill, the northwest generals also began to send clansmen. The unimportant children went to Shen Long's school to study. Whether they learned how to make money, or whether they could learn medicine and calculate money and food like these students... it was of great benefit to these families.
At this time, Shen Long felt that his stay in the northwest was almost over, so he ordered the general disciples to rush to school before the start of the next semester, and he took the first step back to Kaifeng on the somersault cloud.
I haven’t seen you for a while. The school is getting bigger and bigger. Li Jie has built a lot of new buildings in the back. The style of these buildings is very different from the cement antique buildings Shen Long has seen. They have a different charm inside, but they are different than These square boxes in front are much better looking and can be called works of art.
