Of course Song Xi knew that Luo Xin had plans to become emperor.
As a member of the royal family of Daqian, he must stop this.
He also knew that Song Yang would definitely stop him.
So Song Xi wanted to take advantage of Luo Xin to see Song Yang.
If Song Yang can handle Luo Xin, he will consider talking to Song Yang.
If Song Yang is taken care of by Luo Xin...
Then the Western Expeditionary Army can come back to sweep the Central Plains!
The heirs are all dead and the Central Plains is lost. Do we still want to defend the Western Regions?
As for whether he can handle Luo Xin, Song Xi has full confidence.
With tens of thousands of cavalry charging forward, any bandit army would be vulnerable to a single blow.
anyway.
Although Luo Xin has plans to become emperor, his circle is dominated by the remnants of Daqian.
Of course he knew about the Jiangnan Renaissance Alliance, and he had sent people to conduct in-depth investigations many times.
Although the number of troops is not too large, the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is intertwined, and it is really difficult to fight landlubbers like them.
The shadow of the last battle across the river is still haunting him.
There are two powerful forces in the north that are eyeing him.
If you don’t proclaim yourself emperor, everyone will be in peace.
It is still in a weak balance.
If he proclaimed himself emperor, Luo Xin could not guarantee that he would not be attacked.
He discussed this matter with the dog-headed military advisor Zhao Wenbin many times.
Zhao Wenbin's opinion is to integrate the troops first and consolidate the sphere of influence.
When all the towns are completely under control and there is a fortified city to resist the cavalry in the northwest, it will not be too late to proclaim the emperor after the army is strong and the horses are strong.
Although the ideas of scholars like Zhao Wenbin are relatively old-fashioned, they still have some experience in the strategies of the old era.
If Song Yang hadn't been involved in his theory, it would really have been possible to succeed.
After all, building high walls, hoarding supplies and slowly becoming king has been proven to be effective.
"It is a great honor for me to have my husband assist me!"
Luo Xin would sigh like this every time he heard Zhao Wenbin's lies.
Although he cannot claim the title of emperor for the time being, Luo Xin has already given himself the title of king.
Believe in the king.
It can be regarded as temporarily overcoming the addiction of aristocrats.
"My lord, you are so complimentary. I am just doing my best." Zhao Wenbin waved his hand modestly.
"Sir, I heard that your wife has given birth to another son. I'm so happy to congratulate you! I have asked someone to prepare some silk and satin and have sent it to the house. Sir, please go back to accompany your wife as soon as possible." Luo Xin said emotionally. Very good, I rewarded Zhao Wenbin with many things.
Zhao Wenbin thanked Luo Xin with a smile on his face, but when he turned around, his face became extremely gloomy.
In the past two years, there have been two more children in the family.
But these two children are not his at all.
General Heizi ran to his house when he had nothing to do, causing Zhao Wenbin's head to become green.
But Heizi is a powerful general in charge of the army and a close confidant of Luo Xin. Zhao Wenbin really does not dare to offend him.
For this matter, Zhao Wenbin also secretly approached Heizi and planned to give the Wang family to Heizi.
As a result, Heizi said with a straight face: "Don't bully your friends' wives! Do you think I, Heizi, am that kind of person!"
Zhao Wenbin was so angry that he almost walked over.
Housewife Hei rejected Zhao Wenbin and still came over every now and then.
Zhao Wenbin rarely goes home now.
When he returned home, the servants at home looked at him with green eyes.
He was really uncomfortable.
"Damn! This bitch! Sooner or later I will kill you two bitches!" Zhao Wenbin swore fiercely in his heart.
"Huh? The military advisor is going home now? I just have nothing to do, so I'm going to have a drink with you." Zhao Wencai came out of Luo Xin's mansion and met Heizi.
Heizi hugged Zhao Wenbin and said kindly.
Zhao Wenbin immediately put on a smile and said, "I'm about to have a drink with the general. Let's go for a walk."
Zhao Wenbin and Heizi left.
The traitor generals behind him looked disdainful, thinking that Zhao Wenbin was a man who did not know the green in the midst of green.
…
The situation in Jiangbei is slowly developing, while the economy in Jiangnan is becoming increasingly prosperous.
While Song Yang was busy using the Hongyi cannon and the Zimu cannon, a fleet came from Jizhou.
There are ten canoes in this fleet, and Cao's boats are full of sacks.
The one who took the lead was Song Kai, the crown prince of Jizhou.
This guy has been to Jiangzhou more than once.
But this time I brought the most goods.
When the ship arrived at the dock, Song Kai immediately called for people to unload the cargo.
A warehouse next to the dock belongs to him, and the goods on the ship will be loaded into it.
To be precise, it was a warehouse they rented in Jizhou to transport materials.
The workers carried the goods with two sacks each, and Song Kai first went to say hello to Song Yang.
Song Yang casually agreed and asked him to talk to Fang Zhe, and Song Kai went to Fang Zhe to talk about business.
And got Fang Zhe's approval document for the transaction.
This thing is actually a government approval document, and the specific economic contract needs to be negotiated with the textile workshop.
Generally speaking, Jizhou produces cotton and Jiangzhou provides fabrics.
Don't look at the cotton just to make a profit, but the finished fabric can be sold at a good price when taken back to Jizhou.
And this thing can be sold not only in Jizhou, but also in other prefectures, making even greater profits.
When we arrived at the textile workshop, the person in charge turned out to be Shen Xiaowan.
Pei Lin's daughter-in-law Gu Fang has followed Pei Lin to De'an to take office.
The textile workshop was handed over to Shen Xiaowan.
Shen Xiaowan was originally a merchant.
It would be appropriate for her to engage in textile business.
When Song Kai saw that his younger siblings were responsible, he originally wanted to get more benefits.
As a result, Shen Xiaowan sternly refused and proposed a transaction agreement with harsh conditions.
In fact, it is a requirement for cotton quality.
There are also detailed descriptions of inspection, grade, quantity and other aspects.
All in all, it allowed Song Kai to see the power of this younger sibling.
"Okay, okay, just do what my siblings say!"
Song Kai knew he had met an opponent, so he didn't want to take advantage and treated the matter as a business.
The last ten shipments of cotton were exchanged for three shipments of finished cloth, and some additional food stamps, meat stamps, and tool stamps were added.
After the steam engine increased production last year, textile workshops were the second batch of workshops to benefit.
The investment in steam spinning machines led to a rapid increase in textile production.
When Song Yang met at the alliance meeting in Jiangzhou, he said that alliance members and Jiangzhou could cooperate.
Let's all be prosperous together.
Song Kai from Jizhou remembered this the most. After withdrawing his troops from Suzhou, he went directly to Jiangzhou to do market research.
As a result, I fell in love with the cloth produced by the textile factory.
So I made an appointment with Fang Zhe to exchange cotton for cloth.
After returning to Jizhou, I searched for a while and plundered all the cotton in Jizhou.
Now they are all sold to Jiangzhou.
And Song Kai also signed a long-term cotton supply agreement with Shen Xiaowan.
This guy is so ruthless that he requires the textile factories in Jiangzhou to only cooperate with him within five years and not to accept cotton from others.
The cotton price he gave was indeed low enough, and Shen Xiaowan certainly knew what he was planning.
But firstly, the textile factory really needs low-priced cotton, and secondly, the cotton supply is outsourced to one company.
It can also save some trouble. If you have any problems, just deal with Song Kai directly.
In the five years before the investment, the textile factory also sought stability, and Song Kai sought to monopolize cotton production.
The two of them hit it off immediately.
"Then it's settled. I wish us a happy cooperation!"
Song Kai took the contract with a happy smile on his face.
