The Pu family in Quanzhou gave the Zhao family a hard blow at the end of the Song Dynasty. Now that Pu Shougeng has not yet been born, the debt should be placed on their ancestors! The Zhang family and the Lu family are both powerful families with long history and deep roots in the local area. Although the Pu family They were rich, but there were few officials in the clan. As the saying goes, the prefect who ruined the family and the county magistrate who destroyed the family, it was easy for Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing to clean up the Pu family.

Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing looked at each other, with a trace of cruelty flashing in their eyes. The Pu family was not a big force that could not afford to offend, so it would be destroyed if they were to be destroyed. Being able to use their heads to make Taoist Shen happy, this A good deal.

Moreover, when their own sea trade team expands, they will definitely conflict with the Pu family. Instead of waiting until the future, it is better to kill the Pu family now. The ships, sailors and wealth they have accumulated over the years are very tempting.

"This is a trivial matter. The Pu family is both a businessman and a thief. They have committed many crimes in Quanzhou and at sea over the years. If we can eradicate them, they will also be doing harm to the people. I have no shirking duty." Lu Huiqing said righteously, without asking Shen Long. The reason was readily agreed upon.

I admire your shameless style. You are obviously here for money, but you say it so openly. You two already possess the potential of black-hearted capitalists. This style must be carried forward!

The matter was finalized. Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing had a good discussion after they returned, and then went to Wang Anshi's house to talk about the matter, briefly mentioning the Pu family.

They originally thought that Wang Anshi might stop him after hearing the news, so they all thought of excuses to persuade him. Who knew that Wang Anshi's face turned dark immediately after hearing this, and he remained silent for a long time without saying anything.

After Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing left, Wang Anshi sighed. Only then did he remember the records in historical materials. The Pu family in Quanzhou would massacre the royal family of the Song Dynasty in the future. Such people should die.

Not to mention the character of Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing, these two people are definitely not lacking in ability. In terms of political tactics, they are much more powerful than Wang Anshi. Now the two families work together to bully a man who has money but no corresponding political influence to protect him. It’s really not easy for the Pu family.

Not long after, news came from Quanzhou that the Pu family was found guilty of collaborating with pirates, injuring people, and many other crimes. The Pu family was arrested by the local government. The local government and the DPRK quickly completed the process and several people were arrested. Some were beheaded in public, and the rest were either imprisoned or exiled. With Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing's methods, these people were not expected to live long.

Those in exile are acclimatized, and the people escorting them are probably people like Dong Chao and Xue Ba. The Pu family does not have good brothers like Lu Zhishen to rescue them; as for those in prison, it is easier to deal with, nothing to press earth bags Those old officials are quite good at using tricks like this.

Along with the patent fees, sent to Shen Long were the tokens of several dignitaries of the Pu family, as well as the money they had accumulated. Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing also gave Shen Long a share of the property they had copied from the Pu family.

Shen Long handed them what he had promised as promised. Several students left Kaifeng and went to Quanzhou and Fuzhou to teach the Zhang family and Lu family shipbuilding, ship maneuvering, positioning and other techniques. They would also spread the news that overseas was full of gold. Go out and attract more people to go to sea to look for opportunities.

Some time later, Su Song and others copied the matchlock gun in the Song Dynasty. Shen Long still operated it normally. The manufacture of matchlock guns must be controlled by the court. This matter must not be left to others, but the production of matchlock guns was The required steel, wood, match ropes, and lead weights all need to be purchased from outside, and these businesses can also be left to the wealthy families in the areas where the raw materials are produced.

In addition, the army needs not just matchlocks, but also military uniforms, right? To make military uniforms, cloth is needed. Come on, I have cotton seeds with higher yield and better quality, which are very suitable for planting in Susong or the northwest. Do you have any names in your name? Do you have a lot of land? You can make a fortune just by planting these.

I also give away a complete set of cotton spinning tools and techniques. Even a fool can make money by taking it back. Don’t you think about it? Baojiaohui, look at the generals in the northwest, look at the nobles in Kaifeng, look at the Lu family and Zhang Family, you have already made a fortune, why are you still hesitating? Don’t miss this opportunity again!

The widespread planting of these high-yielding crops will inevitably cause a large number of farmers to lose their land. The landless farmers will just be filled in the factories. It doesn't matter if there are some who don't want to work in the factories and just want to farm. There is still a lot of land overseas waiting for you to cultivate.

Under Shen Long's instigation, Wang Anshi proposed a plan to regain Jiaozhi, and used Jiaozhi's land as bait to raise a large amount of military spending. Jiaozhi would soon be captured by the Song Dynasty, and by then they could cultivate Jiaozhi's land. .

Several years passed like this, during which Shen Long carefully cared for these seedlings of Song Dynasty capitalism and continuously cultivated talents in science and engineering.

Wang Anshi was not able to understand what was hidden behind this. He only noticed that the financial income of the Song Dynasty was getting higher and higher. The army was equipped with matchlocks and primitive artillery and its combat effectiveness was getting stronger and stronger. The Song Dynasty seemed to be on the path he expected. On the road, it's just that the methods used are quite different from what I expected.

After replacing the equipment of the most core Forbidden Army of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu and Wang Anshi finally couldn't help but turn their attention to the northwest. They began to reequip the equipment of the Forbidden Army in the northwest in batches and began to prepare to take over the Land of the Resurrection.

After planting high-yielding crops for many years, the northwest's food is now not only self-sufficient, but can even be accumulated. The Song Dynasty only needs to transport a small amount of food to meet the needs of the war.

The number of war horses has also increased a lot over the years. Wang Shao can continuously obtain horses from the Qiang people. Shenlong School also has students studying animal husbandry. Together with Wang Shao, they have changed the horse farms of the Song Dynasty through more advanced technology. , the number of horses on the racecourse continues to increase, which is enough to organize a large cavalry team at the site.

Under this premise, in the sixth year of Xining, eight years earlier than in the original history, the Song Dynasty began its conquest of Xixia. A total of five groups of people set off from different directions and approached Xingling Prefecture.

Wang Shao also ushered in his last battle in the northwest. He knew that after this battle was over, no matter whether he won or lost, he would have no chance to stay here. If he lost, he would definitely be demoted, and if he won, he would definitely be demoted. Being called into the capital to serve as a casualty, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to have the opportunity to lead an army again in the future.

How could he be defeated? Wang Shao touched his cherished box. Over the years, he had carefully cared for the drone given by Shen Long. It could still be used a few more times. The generals of the Qu family, the Zhong family, and the Zhe family could not wait to take care of it. To acquire more land to provide raw materials for their factories.
