The official announced the number, "Thirty million strings?"

He looked down at the old guy and looked down on him. Wang Lidong said, "Three hundred million strings."

"Three hundred million guan? Yuanruo, are you kidding me?"

"Are there really that many?"

Most people still don't believe it. For the backwoods village of Annan, it would be great to have 30 million yuan.

"Don't take the words of our ancestors seriously. Except for the Central Plains, all other places in the world are barren lands." Wang Lidong asked Fugui to hang up the map of Xixia, and then pointed to the land of Xixia, "Back to the topic, let me talk about the destruction of Xixia now.

How much money can everyone here earn in total from Xixia?

Xixia reaches the Yellow River in the east, Yumen Pass in the west, Xiao Pass in the south, and desert in the north. It covers an area of ​​about 12 million hectares, two-thirds of which are yellow sand land, and the remaining 400 million acres of pasture and fertile land.

The price of fertile land has risen sharply in the past two years. Now for the fields near Xixia, the price of one acre of fertile land is almost 2,000 Wen.

If all the pastures and fertile fields in Xixia were sold at half price or 1,000 yuan/mu, they could sell for about 500 million yuan!"

All sold?

Everyone was a little surprised.

In the past dynasties, the kingdoms that the imperial court sent troops to conquer would be taken back to the imperial court, and then re-divided, and administrative divisions such as prefectures, prefectures, and counties were established, and officials were sent to manage them. Therefore, if you won the war in the past, you would still lose money, and if you lost the war, it would be even worse.

Losing money.

Ling Guogong's eyes lit up and he said, "This is a good idea! Why didn't I think of it before? But with so much land, if we sell them all, the price will not be high."

Wang Lidong smiled and said, "Then sell it slowly. This thing won't escape if left there."

When the Song Dynasty first started, the population was about 30 million. This was less than a century ago, and now there are 90 million. In the future, the population of the Song Dynasty will become more and more, and the price of acres will only rise. This time Sihai Trading Company plans to buy 3,000

Thousands of acres of grassland...." Wei

"Buying so much land, Yuanruo, what are you going to do after buying it?"

"Raise cattle and sheep. Such a large pasture is more than enough to raise two to three million cattle and sheep..."

Duke Lingguo immediately made a mental calculation and found that it would take almost 2 years to raise a calf until it is ready for slaughter. It would be much faster for a lamb to be ready for slaughter, only about half a year.

Nowadays, a cow can be sold for 12 guan, and a sheep can be sold for about 6 guan. Excluding various expenses, the ranch can earn millions of guan a year.... The biggest investment is the cost of buying land....

.This business can definitely be done.

Most of the people in the hall were human beings, and they knew that if they bought the land at this price, they would not lose money even if they left it empty. So not long after, everyone unanimously decided that the 400 million acres of grassland and fertile land in Xixia would be fully owned by the shareholders.

Already.

As for what to raise in the future, we will hold a meeting to discuss at that time and stagger the breeding to avoid rushing in and driving down the price of meat.

Lieutenant-in-law Li Wei said, "Raising cattle and sheep requires a lot of herdsmen. If all cattle and sheep were raised, there would be at least tens of millions of them. We in the Song Dynasty don't have many people who can raise these things." Wei Wei

Duke Cheng Guo laughed and said, "Don't forget, Prince Consort, most of the Xixia Dangxiang people are herdsmen. There are more than 3 million of them. How many do you want?"

Ling Guogong stroked his beard and said, "I almost forgot about this. With so many people, it can sell at least hundreds of millions of gold."

In the Song Dynasty, the price of slaves was not cheap. The cheapest one for a minor maid was 50 guan, and if she was a little bit pretty, it would be hundreds of guan.

According to historical records, the famous minister Han Qi served in the Zhending Mansion. In order to thank a certain guest for his service, he spent 100 yuan to buy a maid as a gift to the guest.

The famous Mrs. Wang Anshi bought a beautiful concubine for her husband-in-law and spent 900 copper coins.

Cheng Guogong said, "After calculation, we can receive 60,000,000 yuan from selling land and slaves alone. This battle can be fought!"

Ling Guojing said, "There is also the family background of the Dangxiang nobles. In addition, there are so many large salt fields in Xixia. I heard that the annual salt production is almost 300,000 shi. If we use our equipment, it should not be a problem to earn 800,000 to 900,000 shi of salt per year."

Wei

Wang Lidong said, "It has only been a few decades since Dangxiang founded the country. The wealth of the nobles plus salt fields is equivalent to 100 million guan. Adding the income from selling land and slaves, it is 700 million guan. The cost of the war is estimated to be within 200 million guan."

, so this time the troops are guaranteed to earn 500 million yuan. Now everyone is voting, and those who agree to send troops raise their hands..."

Wow, as expected, all shareholders raised their right hands.

Passed unanimously.

On the second day, a huge sum of 150 million yuan was transferred from the Royal Bank of the Song Dynasty to the account of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and the Song Dynasty's "war machine" slowly started.

Half a month later, Lian Guogong and Cheng Guogong led 20,000 musketeers and escorted a large amount of baggage towards Yanmen Pass.

"Daily, Daily, Tokyo Daily, Xixia is good at border warfare, Li Yuanhao sends troops to attack Sanchuankou."

"Daily, Daily, Tokyo Daily, thousands of soldiers and civilians at Mikawaguchi were killed and injured, and tens of thousands were captured!" Wei

The people were indignant at Li Yuanhao's massacre of the people of the Song Dynasty. At the same time, they cursed the imperial army for their inaction. Hundreds of thousands of troops were stationed in the northwest, but they were of no use.

"In the past ten years, the Western Army has spent 200 million guan on the imperial court. Darling, that's 20 million guan in one year."

"After so many years of fighting, there are no shortage of party thieves, and they are becoming more and more rampant."

"With so much money, we can directly offer a reward. A tang-hsiang thief will have 100 heads. I guarantee that within a few years, the tang-hsiang thieves will be dead. I think the princes are colluding with the border troops to support the bandits."

"I have seen it a long time ago. If the party is full, it will be 3 million, and the soldiers will be drawn one out of ten, which is an army of 300,000. I have a million soldiers in the Song Dynasty, but I just can't take down the little Xixia. If there are no ghosts here, I will give this table to

Swallow it."

On this day, there will be a great meeting.

As soon as the emperor sat on the dragon throne, ministers came out. Privy Councilor Ouyang Xiu bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, ten days ago, the party thieves plundered everywhere, starting from Tanglong Town, Yongle City, Yinzhou, Hongzhou and so on.

In ten states, thousands of our soldiers and civilians were slaughtered and tens of thousands of people were taken captive." Wei Wei

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Although Princess Fukang knew the news as early as ten days ago, she still feels very uncomfortable after hearing it. "Why is Li Yuanhao so good at fighting on the sidelines?"

?”

Ouyang Xiudao said, "I heard that there was a continuous heavy snowfall in Xixia. The flat ground was more than ten feet deep, and seven out of ten cattle and sheep died."

The word "white disaster" popped into the minds of all the ministers. It seemed that a war was inevitable. If they didn't rob the Song Dynasty, most of the party members would starve to death in the spring.

Wang Lidong came out of the queue and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, a mere party traitor dares to raise troops to invade the country and kill our people of the Song Dynasty. Please send troops to pacify Xixia, capture Li Yuanhao alive, and avenge the dead soldiers and people!"

Ouyang Xiu said hurriedly, "No. It's already winter. If the soldiers go out hastily, I'm afraid they will suffer heavy casualties before they reach the halfway point!" He has been in the west for more than ten years. Even in the winter, he will freeze even if he stays indoors.

You have to die, let alone fight in the wind and snow.

Wang Lidong smiled and said, "Xiangong Ouyang may not understand the current equipment of our soldiers in the Song Dynasty. Even if it is colder, they will be safe."

Ouyang Xiu was waiting to argue again, and the new emperor waved his hand and said, "The bold gangsters have repeatedly invaded our borders of the Song Dynasty, killed our people of the Song Dynasty, and bullied my people in the Central Plains?" Wei Wei

December 29, the eleventh year of Huangyou’s reign.

Lu Maohou, the Duke of Lian State, was appointed as the envoy of the Southern Academy of Xuanhui and the envoy of Shaanxi Three-Road Economic Strategy to pacify and recruit, and Liu Gongpu, the Duke of Cheng State, was appointed as the deputy envoy.

In early January of the following year, Li Yuanhao led an army of 100,000 to attack Weizhou. As soon as the Dangxiang cavalry was dispatched from their hometown, the news reached the ears of the musketeers through telegrams. Three days later, 100,000 Xixia cavalry were attacked by 30,000 musketeers who were already waiting.

Plus 150,000 new troops who had just been reorganized, they were surrounded on all sides at the foot of Weizhou City...

.............................

Duke's Mansion of Qi

Ru Lan held a small thin wooden stick and pointed at a mathematical problem on the blackboard to explain. Ever since she was caught by Princess Pingning and worked as an accounting assistant, she had breakfast every morning and started working until the sun went down.

Only Qi’s mother would be merciful and let people go.

For three days in a row, Wang Lidong saw that Ru Lan was still stupidly working alone, so he reminded him, how did Zhuge Liang die? Wei Wei

Ru Lan was confused, who is Zhuge Liang? Is he famous?

Only then did Wang Lidong remember that the book Romance of the Three Kingdoms had not yet been published, and Zhuge Liang's current reputation was only spread among the people and court officials in the Sichuan and Shu regions.

It was not until the Southern Song Dynasty that Zhu Xi, a great scholar of the Southern Song Dynasty, personally endorsed Zhuge Liang, saying, "Since Mencius, there are only two famous counselors in the Western Han Dynasty, Zhang Liang and Zhuge Liang, a famous minister in the Shu Han Dynasty." From then on, Zhuge Kongming's name would spread throughout the world.

Wang Lidong gave an overview of his business. Today, Sihai Trading Company has three small vassal states, more than 50 private schools, more than 200 farms, more than 500 "Royal Banks of the Song Dynasty", and more than 300,000 employees.

His assets exceed three billion yuan, but he only works for half a day every day. He stretched out his hand and pinched Ru Lan's nose gently and said, "You only read a few account books, and you are busy from morning to night...Is this what you should do?"

?”

Rulan blinked and asked curiously, "Then why don't you go home if you have nothing to do in the afternoon? Where will you go?"

Ahem.

Why is the brain circuit so different? Wang Lidong said, "I'm busy with court affairs. Don't interrupt me, just ask if you know how to do it." Wei

Ru Lan nodded. She just wanted to find more manpower. She had also thought about it, but how could such things as accounts be shown to outsiders casually? She took the official's arm and said coquettishly, "How about you help me find some helpers?"

Wang Lidong pointed to the big magpie, the little magpie and the others and said, "With so many helpers, why don't you use them?"

Rulan said helplessly, "It's okay for the big magpie. He went to private school with me for several years. The little magpies can only write their own names."

Wang Lidong pointed out, "Then let them learn. The big magpies have been with you since childhood and will be with you all your life in the future. Where can you find such loyal subordinates? You can teach them not only literacy and arithmetic, but also literacy and arithmetic."

they."

So, the lovely Rulan scholar ‘Deng Deng Deng’ is online!

Throw flowers!

Ru Lan suddenly raised her voice and said, "Little magpie, come up and do the question on the blackboard again!" Wei

The little magpie was thinking about something when she suddenly heard her name being called. She immediately stood up subconsciously. When she saw Ru Lan looking at her with a fierce look on her face, she got excited... and secretly screamed "Oh no!"
