Chapter 1197: Build walls high, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king.
Wang Shanquan did not expect Wang Yue to be so decisive in his work, and left overnight that night. He knew that the matter could not be resolved, and was afraid that the conflict with Wang Yue would affect his major affairs, so he endured the anger in his heart and quickly sent himself
His henchmen took the land deeds of the Liu family and chased towards Qingzhou.
I don’t know what means he used. As soon as the big ship Wang Yue was on returned to Langya and was busy settling down the Liu family, Father Wang had already rushed over and brought news from Yangzhou.
When Father Wang saw Wang Yue, he frowned and asked, "Two days ago, the governor of Yangzhou sent someone to apologize and sent a lot of land deeds to compensate your family's losses. What happened?"
Wang Yue did not expect Wang Shanquan to be so fast, so he told him what he had seen and heard in Yangzhou, and then frowned and said, "Father, looking at this situation, I am afraid that after the emperor dies, Yangzhou will rebel."
Father Wang was drinking tea calmly. What happened in Yangzhou was nothing to him. He just felt that his son had changed a lot, so he couldn't help but come over and ask what was going on?
Of course, he was actually more worried that his son had met someone and been bewitched.
The reason why he is so worried is because there is some chaos in the world now, and many people who think they are strange people and strange things are wandering around, all wanting to seek refuge with a wise master and gamble on their wealth for a lifetime. He is worried that Wang Yue has been deceived.
After he arrived, he met with Wang Ping and Wang Anxian, and after asking for details, he found that no one else appeared in front of Wang Yue, and he felt relieved.
Because of this, Mr. Wang leisurely wanted to give his son a test. After all, he heard from his subordinates that his son has made great progress now.
But even though he was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that Wang Yue was so bold and didn't take the emperor seriously at all.
He glanced left and right, and then hurriedly scolded, "Don't talk nonsense! That's Your Majesty!"
Wang Yue curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Who are you fooling? How many governors still listen to the emperor?"
Father Wang saw that Wang Yue's words were getting more and more unreasonable, so he waved his hand and asked his personal guards to go out to guard. He asked with a serious face, "What are you going to do with the Gu family?"
Seeing his father asking this question, Wang Yue said nonchalantly, "It's just money. It's easy to make as much as you want. You don't need to take it so seriously. In troubled times, you still have to look at your strength, and strength needs to be supported by the population."
Seeing how relaxed Wang Yue said it, Father Wang said depressedly, "You said it very easily. Our taxes in Qingzhou can only prevent Qingzhou from being easily attacked by others. If you want more troops,
If we go to capture cities and territories, we are not as blessed as Yangzhou and Youzhou!"
Of course Wang Yue knew, because there was a reason for Youzhou to resist foreign enemies, so not only did it not have to pay taxes, but the treasury also allocated a portion of money every year to allow the governor of Youzhou to train soldiers and horses.
The situation in Yangzhou was the opposite, because it was the granary of Da Rong, and the people were generally wealthier than other places, so it was easy to collect money to expand their power.
So Wang Yue sighed, he came a little late, and said helplessly, "We are not as strong as Youzhou's soldiers and horses, and we don't have as much money as Yangzhou to recruit troops and horses. However, we can build high walls and stock up on food.
Become the king slowly!"
When Dad Wang saw what Wang Yue said, his eyes lit up. He asked excitedly, "Who said this to you?"
Wang Yue curled his lips and said disdainfully, "Of course I said it myself. For us, now we just have to guard our territory and watch them fight for it. If we have the strength in the future, we will fight for the world. No.
As long as we have the strength to dominate Qingzhou, it will be enough."
Father Wang looked at Wang Yue deeply for a while, and then asked his doubts, "Since you know everything, why did you marry the daughter of a merchant?"
Wang Yue couldn't say that this was a woman from another world, so he could only lie and said, "Firstly, I still like him, and secondly, because I married the merchant's daughter, I can make everyone feel at ease, and we can have the opportunity to slowly
development of."
Father Wang was silent for a long time, and he was really fooled by Wang Yue. He felt that what Wang Yuan said was very reasonable, so he decided not to hide it anymore. He said in a deep voice, "Come with me. It's time to let you know."
Already."
Wang Yue looked at my father's serious look and felt that maybe he was hiding something. But if you think about it carefully, it's right. In this era, who can be the governor without any strength can sit still.
With this curiosity in mind, he followed Father Wang on horseback out of the city and arrived at the military camp outside Langya City. Only then did he realize that the number of people in the military camp here was twice that announced.
Father Wang took Wang Yue to meet several generals. In fact, he let the general get to know Wang Yue and told these generals that Wang Yue was officially involved in Qingzhou affairs.
After talking to the generals for a long time, they left the military camp together, and then without returning, they hurriedly arrived at the foot of Mount Tai.
Just when Wang Yue was a little suspicious, several waves of people dressed as bandits suddenly arrived, and those people paid a respectful visit to Father Wang.
After Father Wang explained some things to these leaders, he let them get to know Wang Yue again, and then let them go back.
After the bandits left, Father Wang said with some seriousness, "Your Majesty's health is only in recent years, so I have secretly expanded the army. Everything else is fine, except for military pay, which is more difficult for us."
Our strength can last until the end of this year at most. If we can no longer find sources of military expenditure by then, I am afraid that half of the soldiers here will go back to farming, and they may really become bandits."
Only then did Wang Yue understand why Dad Wang asked him to go to Yangzhou. It turned out that Dad also wanted to take a gamble.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If the world is in chaos this year, you can take the opportunity to expand your territory. With the new taxes, you will be able to support so many soldiers and horses.
If the world is still peaceful, we can only make good friends with the Gu family and let the Gu family bring their business to Qingzhou. It would be better if they could borrow some money.
In this case, Wang Yue is also preparing to take out a few necessary things for time travel. With these things, he will definitely be able to maintain the army's expenses.
So, he said to Father Wang, "Dad, I need you to help me find all the craftsmen in Qingzhou, whether they are shipbuilders or blacksmiths and carpenters, I want them to be of great use."
At this moment, Father Wang was preparing to give advice, but unexpectedly Wang Yue made a U-turn, which caught him off guard and almost missed him.
So, he said in a scolding tone, "What should you be thinking about now is how to compete in the Central Plains? Instead of thinking about these strange and obscene techniques."
Wang Yue rolled his eyes. This was just a pawn, and he said disdainfully, "Then don't ask for money. Which industry can make money without the things you mentioned?"
When Father Wang heard what Wang Yue said, he was very confused and said, "You don't want to sell something for money, do you? I can tell you that our huge military expenditure is a big hole, and not all businesses can use it.
of."
Wang Yue didn't want to say more, so he said seriously, "The Gu family takes money very seriously. Even if the emperor wants it, they won't give it to them. Do you think they will give it to us? So I'm going to change the method. We don't want the Gu family.
I want to use the Gu family's business network to exchange money, and I think they will sell this favor."
Seeing how confident Wang Yue said, Father Wang couldn't help but wonder, "Has this kid got support from any families?"
Thinking of this, he took Wang Yue back to the city without asking any more questions, and then issued a notice asking all the craftsmen in Qingzhou to come to Langya.
…
Wang Yue ran around with his father until the next night, then he had time to visit Liu's house.
After Father Liu came to Qingzhou, he found that the house here was quite big. He felt relieved and quickly asked the housekeeper to tidy up the new home.
When Wang Yue arrived, the whole family was busy. Liu Yuru and her mother were chatting in the backyard with their maids.
Seeing Wang Yue coming over, the two of them stood up quickly. Liu Yuru even asked anxiously, "A Yue, where have you been all day and night? I asked Yin Hong to look for you several times, but all failed.
Nothing happened to your people, right?"
Of course Wang Yue knew what Liu Yuru was worried about. He quickly said soothingly, "Don't worry. My father has already rushed over. My mother may be two days late. After she arrives, she will start arranging to marry you. That's it."
Three to five days’ time.”
After hearing Wang Yue's comforting words, Liu Yuru blushed and said, "Why am I so anxious? Don't talk nonsense!"
When Mrs. Liu heard Wang Yue say that there was no change in the marriage, she was relieved and wanted to get up and hide away so as not to bother talking to Wang Yue and Liu Yuru.
Of course she knew it was against the rules, but thinking that Wang Yue was still very polite, she didn't care about the rules that restricted people.
After Mrs. Liu left, Wang Yue took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Liu Yuru with a smile.
Liu Yuru thought Wang Yue had written something ambiguous, so she shook her head shyly and said, "I don't want to read it! You wrote something messy again."
Wang Yue was very speechless. He had only made a joke once, and Liu Yuru was frightened by the thought. He could only say in a comforting manner, "I didn't think that after your Liu family came to Qingzhou, it would be nothing."
I have found some fabric dyeing formulas so that your Liu family can rely on these formulas to grow and prosper, so I sent them to you specially."
Liu Yuru's eyes lit up after hearing Wang Yue's words. After looking at it, she found that it was a complete set of craft recipes, and she said excitedly, "Ah Yue, where did you get this good thing? It must have cost a lot of money."
It’s a lot of effort.”
Wang Yue looked at Liu Yuru's excited look and kindly reminded him, "These are not important. You have an important issue to consider now."
Liu Yuru was studying the formula. Although she didn't understand it very well, but seeing the detailed steps, she probably guessed that it was not fake.
When she heard Wang Yue's reminder, she didn't even raise her head and asked for a moment, "What are you considering?"
Seeing that Liu Yuru didn't think about the crux of the problem, Wang Yue could only remind him helplessly, "Think about your father. When he was in Yangzhou, he only had so little money and he already didn't take your mother seriously. He
After you have more money this time, will you marry a new aunt? Also, does anyone in the Liu family listen to your mother?"
When Liu Yuru heard what Wang Yue said, she was no longer in the mood to read the formula, so she asked anxiously, "Everyone in the Liu family used to listen to Aunt Zhang. Except for Yunyun, no one listened to my mother at all. What do you think I am?"
what to do?"
Wang Yue thought for a while and then asked tentatively, "There is something you may not like to hear. I wonder if your mother is willing to divorce?"
Liu Yuru shook her head and said helplessly, "I definitely don't want to do it now, unless one day I give birth to you... One day I gain a firm foothold in Qingzhou, and then she can consider her own affairs."
Seeing Liu Yuru's blushing face, Wang Yue knew what Liu Yuru had not finished saying, so he changed his way and said, "In this case, we might as well replace all the home care maids at home.
your people."
Liu Yuru was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some doubts, "My people? Ah Yue, just tell me straight. You also know that no one has ever cultivated anything in this area. Poems, songs, and the like, my mother still has
I have no place to learn anything about housekeeping and business."
Wang Yue smiled and said encouragingly, "It's like this. Several nearby states and counties have been severely affected by the disaster, and many people have fled to Qingzhou. You can buy a new batch of servants and take their deeds of sale.
Don't they just listen to you? Moreover, I think it is better to control the dyeing workshop in your hands. As for the Liu family, they can only sell the cloth you provide. In this case, your father would not dare
It’s not good for your mother.”
Liu Yuru's eyes lit up after hearing what Wang Yue said. She felt that what Wang Yue said made sense, so she nodded quickly and agreed.
It's just that this plan still has to wait until the two get married, but the workshop can indeed be built first.
…
On the third day after Wang Yue returned to Qingzhou, Mrs. Wang rushed over from the Qingzhou Administrative Office, and she immediately started making arrangements for the marriage.
As the only son of the governor of Qingzhou got married, the process was quite lively and it also made the people of Qingzhou settle down.
After all, after Wang Yue gets married, it proves that the next generation of Qingzhou has grown up and is no longer afraid of any changes in Qingzhou.
The other governors, and even the royal family of Zhongzhou, were relieved that Wang Yue was marrying the daughter of a small businessman and did not choose to marry with four big families. This proved that Qingzhou had no wild ambitions and just wanted to guard that acre.
Just three points of land.
For such a local boss who has no big ideas, other governors are scrambling to win over him, and they have no intention of taking precautions.
The strategy of building high walls and hoarding grains that Wang Yue and Wang Wang discussed can be gradually realized.
