Chapter fifty-one

It is certainly news that I don’t know the good or bad. (It’s not that I don’t know the good or bad. But I’m familiar with Wang Huajing

Zhou Yong chased him to Lingnan, and Zhang Jianzhi and Cui Xuanzhu died of illness on the road because of their old age. It is unknown whether it was a disease or other reasons. He chased him to Guizhou again, and met Fu Yanfan, and ordered him to put him on a bamboo raft and pull him back and forth until his flesh was exposed, and then he ordered someone to kill him. Then he continued to chase Jinghui and cut him to kill him. However, there was no news of Yuan Shuji. The court issued another edict, abolishing Zhou Wei's power and exiling him to Dongguan County as a county magistrate. I am afraid that when this edict arrived in Lingnan, Yuan Shuji had long been killed by Zhou Wei.

Wang Hua closed the letter and thought to himself, no wonder when Lao Wei met him these days, his eyes were strange, and he was hiding him with Li Xian.

Last year, Li Xian issued an edict at that time, and Zhou Yong stopped killing the Five Kings. Why did the news of the murder of the two kings? Although Lingnan is very far from the capital, it is not far from the horizon, at most ten thousand miles away. The edict was rushed to 800 miles, not to mention 800 miles a day, at least 600 miles a day. Even ordinary documents can arrive in the capital in just one month. Zhang Shuzhi and others dragged their children, Zhou Yong was fast, and he left from Guizhou to Guangdong. How far was this? It is possible that Huan Yanfan could not save it, but at least Jinghui could still save it.

Wang Huasi gave a moment and came over. Li Xian might not have murderous intentions against the Five Kings, but Wei did not let the Five Kings go. With her intention, the imperial envoy released had to deliberately delay the trip on the road. Li Xian gave ten thousand imperial edicts, and with Wei's interference, the five kings could not escape death. So, as the Secretariat, Lao Wei might have known about this before, so he dared not say anything.

And think about Zhou's "the place where he exiled was in Lingnan, but the best place in Guangzhou Governor's Office and Lingnan was in the Central Plains and Wangzhou. This was not an exile. It was an excuse to circumvent himself and the people who were concerned about this matter. When the storm passed, or his anger disappeared and the people forgot about this matter, Wei transferred him back.

Wei's idea and favoritism would disappoint Wang Hua very much.

Wang Huajian opened the fifth letter, looked at it, and said to Li Hong: "Go and call Mr. Zhu."

Zhu Quan was not angry when he came in. During the past few days, he had already vaguely noticed that Wang Hua had a powerful force in his hand, and even Li Hong did not ask much about it. Only Mu saved Li and operated it. Therefore, he did not ask Wang Hua.

He believed that the road knew the power of horses, and the longer it was seen, Wang Hua would sooner or later reveal all the secrets to him. Moreover, the stronger Wang Hua was, it would be beneficial to himself. Otherwise, it would be like Jinghui and others. Wu Sansi was knocked down at once, what else would he help?

Wang Hua asked: "Who is Li Longji's princess from the Wang family?"

Li Hong and Mu Fang and Li were both stunned. Now they were working with the Wang family. If Li Longji's princess was from the Wang family in Taiyuan and Li Longji was hostile to Wang Hua, it was possible that Wang Hua was hostile to Li Longji now, so the relationship would be complicated.

When Zhu Quan came over, he thought that Wang Hua might ask this question. He replied: "My little man, how much do you know about the Wang family in Taiyuan? Although the Wang family ranks at the last place among the seven surnames, its power is far from what you imagined. In fact, the Wang family in Taiyuan is divided into two houses, one is the Qixian lineage and the other is the Taiyuan lineage. The Qixian lineage started with Wang Yun who offered to recruit cicadas, and Wang Bo and Wang Ji also came from this lineage. But now the person in charge is the Taiyuan lineage. Prime Minister Wang Guai and Queen Wang came from this lineage, and of course Wang Xiaomai also came from this lineage. Moreover, your general Wang Li, under the Blood Character Camp, also came from this lineage.

Wang Hua was dizzy when he heard this. Wang Zhan from Luoyang, why did he have anything to do with the Wang family in Taiyuan? And he didn't hear any news.

"Mr. Xiao Hou, please don't doubt it. The Taiyuan Wang family has their tribesmen not only in Taiyuan, but many tribesmen are lush outside. General Wang was an official for several generations and lived in office for many years. Therefore, General Wang did not settle in Taiyuan for several generations. Even General Wang himself was born in Cangzhou. Later, he moved to Luoyang with his father Chang'an Wei Wang Xingguo. But it really belonged to the Taiyuan Wang family. It was just that General Wang himself was reserved and did not show off his family background. Therefore, there were many outsiders in Taiyuan Wang family genealogy. Because Mr. Wang had some conflicts with the seven surnames and ten families, he later respected General Wang. General Wang did not dare to tell this matter even more. Because Mr. Wang had some conflicts with the ten families of seven surnames and ten families, he later respected General Wang. General Wang did not dare to tell this matter even more.

Wang Hua smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, in the future, I will meet someone with the surname Wang, Zheng, Cui, Li, Lu, and Wei. You must ask clearly."

"If it doesn't matter, it's best to be aware of confidential and private matters." Zhu Quan was obviously happy to see Wang Hua's defeat. He also said: "Strictly speaking, the princess of Linzi came from the Wang family of Qi County, but now the two veins are integrated, which can also be said to be from the Wang family of Taiyuan. Her grandfather was Wang Shennian, the governor of Mozhou of the Liang Dynasty, and her son was Wang Sengbian, the Yong General of Nanliang. But because he was an official for generations, he moved abroad and was very far away from the main vein of the Wang family. Moreover, the princess and the princess had no children for several years, so it was only Xiao Hou's cooperation with the Wang family brings great benefits. Please don't worry about this matter. Unless the Prince of Linzi is the crown prince, that's another matter.

Wang Hua smiled even more bitterly, thinking that if he was helpless, Li Longji would not only be the crown prince, but also the emperor, but this queen Wang seemed to have killed Lao Wu's niece Wu Huifei.

He also kept Zhu Quan's words in mind. When the matter was finally revealed, he had to take action against the Wang family. But in the past two or three years, even Zhu Qi may not be able to see any signs. The cooperation with the Wang family will be safe. In the future, Li Longji became in power, and the Wang family would also hesitate when facing the annual income of one million silk money.

The fifth letter of belief came out, otherwise Zhu Jin would not be able to read it.”

The letter said that about last year, Hao Pengfei took away a lot of money and ran away safely, he went to Nanyang for a walk. It was probably affected by Wang Hua's exchange of grain from Nanyang that he said in the court. He transported nearly one million stones of grain from somewhere. Then he sold it in Suzhou for less than 40 cents per bucket. Therefore, during this period of time, the rice price in Luoyang caused Wang Hua to transport a large amount of grain, and then it was affected, and then it hit a little, falling below fifty cents.

Of course this is the case. Merchants still have a lot of money. After all, it is food, not salt, and the tariffs in the past are not heavy. The money they make is not profit, but the amount.

Hao Pengfei did not come forward directly, but handed it over to several wealthy families. If Wang Hua hadn't deliberately left a few clues and did not cut them off, he would not pay attention to this matter.

So Mu Zili didn't know whether it was a good or a bad thing. It seemed that Hao Pengfei was helping the country stabilize the grain prices now, which was not in line with his style. Does he also have a vast piece of land in his hand and is growing grain?

Zhu Qi thought for a while and said, "This Hao Pengfei is a talent."

Although he was not happy, Wang Hua had to admit that the playboy whom he easily deceived him has grown up in recent years, at least he is much better than the Wang Jing brothers.

He said to Li Hong: "You have someone bring the letter to Xiaoliuqiu, let them strengthen their patrols

The best way is to withdraw from Taiwan. Now that there are a lot of sailing ships, people will inevitably board the island, so it is possible to discover the Wang family's shipbuilding base. But Wang Hua is reluctant to leave, for example, if he lacks something, he can buy it from the Central Plains immediately, and he has been operating it for a long time, very familiar with the indigenous people, and has his own production base. Especially when he captures slaves, Wang Hua likes to capture people, and Taiwan can also serve as a transit point. Now, food enters the port directly from the Yangtze River, which is an important transit station.

Wang Huahe had no choice but to give up. Then he could only increase his defense power.

"Also, some appropriate rewards can be made to some loyal slaves to let them see hope. But the management of weapons continues to be strict

Li Hong also understood that blindly suppressing will eventually backfire. Moreover, slaves are still dominated by Oceania. However, these slaves come from all directions and cannot form a single rope. Therefore, they cannot become a general trend. Otherwise, the Wang family may lose control over Oceania. Therefore, it is also important to choose some appropriate policies.

But she was a little confused about the following words. Wang Hua said again: "And some eliminated ships can be sold. Now the shipping "is in full swing, and it can be sold at a good price. Mr. Zhu, how much cash can the Wang family in Taiyuan take out?"

Zhu Quan thought for a while and said, "If you take out gold, silver, copper coins, and silk together, it will cost about 700,000 to 800,000 yuan, and it will not exceed one million yuan.

The number is huge, but for a huge family, the money is still insignificant. No wonder outsiders commented that the Wang family began to decline. But Wang Hua was not ridiculed. He looked at the Wang family's connections and resources, not the Wang family's funds. He also said: "If you write a letter to the head of the Wang family, you will ask him to prepare 500,000 silk money and 50 shopkeepers who can operate. I will ask him to increase the income of at least 500,000 silk money in half a year. Mu Fangli, you must also arrange nearly a hundred loyal subordinates, asking him to write some words and calculate some accounts, be smart and capable, and be honest.

"Erlang, what are you going to do?

"This Hao Pengfei is playing the economic pole, so I will play with him."

After hearing this, Zhu Quan had already understood more than half of it, but he still didn't understand how Wang Hua operated. This seemed to be a strange field to him. But he said with some concern: "I'm afraid that they will fall into it this time."

"Mr. Zhu, it's okay. You can tell them directly that if you agree, you will give them a fair share. If you don't want to do it, I have other means. And the funds, this time I may also borrow more than one million dimensions from the emperor to operate the funds.

I still don’t understand it very much, but I know that Wang Hua is playing this time, and I don’t say how much money the Wang family can afford in Taiyuan can spend. The current Wang family is not what outsiders think. The cash in hand is nearly 500,000 yuan. There are also a steady stream of gems, coral and iron ore entered the Tang Dynasty. A few months later, a batch of grain also entered the Tang Dynasty. However, due to the violent increase in the influx of population, the output of this small batch of early rice will not be transported.

The Wang family loves to play, but don’t play. This is a matter that benefits the country and the people, and does not need to be covered up. Wang Hua can cooperate with many people. However, summer harvest is coming, so it must be arranged immediately.

Li Hong was still stunned. Why did Li Xian agree to borrow one million marriage money? This was not one million. How much money was there in the Tang Dynasty's treasury? After hearing this number, Zhu Quan understood more and began to write a letter immediately.

Wang Hua did not end. He looked at the third letter. Crafts were his strengths, but industry was his weakness. He did not expect that he only talked about the nitrate, sulfur and charcoal powder, and asked his subordinates to study the black gunpowder. So can he draw a drawing by himself to make guns and cannons?

Of course, this was a cauldron, but if he installed a trench, ignited the explosive package, and placed it on a sea boat, it was suitable for naval battles. He also took out paper and pen.

This is a drawing of the original human converter, blast furnace and coal coking process. Let's see if there are smart men to study the blast furnace steelmaking technology in advance? After drawing the drawing, Wang Hua thought of another thing to make blast furnace, cement, which is to crush limestone and clay, and then put it in the kiln at high temperature to grind it! Add an appropriate amount of gypsum to grind it. This is the finished water-shaped ring with a mixed material and external agent, which will have a better effect, but Wang Hua doesn't know.

Wang Hua wrote it again to see if anyone under his command studied it again.

When he thought of cement, he thought of glass. Most people say that glass is burned by sand. This statement is wrong. Not only does it contain sand, but also quartz sand, soda ash, feldspar and limestone are smelted together after high temperatures to produce high-quality glass.

Of course, the best also refers to the current market, which comes from Dashi. But he also doesn't know how to burn and what proportion. Anyway, there are many people in Dayangzhou, and I don't know if it's 100,000 or 200,000. There are many talents arranged by Mu Fangli to join. Let the craftsmen among them study it.

Wang drew the drawings, wrote the instructions, then blew them dry, and handed them to Li Hong and said, "Send it to Oceania immediately, and in addition, instruct them that the copper mine can be mined, but the copper will be stored for the time being. In addition, exchange all the flying money in the house into cash money

Zhu Quan was writing a letter. Wang Hua asked him to write a letter, which represented sincerity with the Wang family. This may be a very beneficial thing to the Wang family. However, Wang Hua did not necessarily believe that the Wang family in Taiyuan. On the contrary, he would not harm the Wang family in Taiyuan. Therefore, he must write some of the vague interests in the most accurate language. Wang Hua did not say it out in full, so the letter was written very slowly. He heard Wang Hua mention the copper mine, he raised his head.

He knew it was from overseas. If it were in the Tang Dynasty, private copper mines would have to beheaded.

Li Hong took the letter in confusion and asked, "Why?.

The main function of copper is to be used as currency and has no collection value.

Zhu Quandai replied, "Miss Li, think about it, how many people on the market now use gold and silver to cash copper coins? What is the ratio of cashing copper coins?"

Li Hong knew a little bit of gold for eight taels of silver, and one tael of silver is equal to the money for a marriage. But in the past few months, the price of silver and gold have been rising continuously. Of course, it doesn’t matter. Gold and silver are not direct currency, they are just precious metals. Therefore, no one pays attention.

"Miss Li, do you know the reason?

Li Hong had some thoughts in a vague way, but she shook her head.

"The price of grain has risen, and the wages of workers and other prices have risen accordingly. But copper coins are still copper coins, which means that the price of copper coins has fallen. Some people have melted copper and burned it into copperware for sale. This has happened in the Han Dynasty. Because it is calculated by using a spear than copper coins. In fact, the circulating copper coins have begun to decrease. Look at silk again, because there are more people planting cotton and fewer silkworms, the price of silk has also increased. Many people want to use cotton as money to cash out, but the traders are unwilling to see the price of cotton cloth falling. I don't know what Xiao Hou has, but this situation is a bit chaotic. Therefore, smart people can use a small amount of money and grain to leverage the fluctuation of market prices and make a profit from it. Now, the copper is not worth the loss.

Speaking of this, Zhu Quan looked at the letter in his hand again.

For more than ten days, he coincided with Wang Hua. Although the ministers in the court believed that the summer harvest was in sight, it was not the same thing. Now farming is still intensive labor, otherwise Wang Hua would have to have a large area of ​​land. The yield per mu was cultivated many times and the fertility was allocated, so he had to take over the farm. However, the annexation of a large number of fields, many people were not taken down by their owners, and they did not dare to take them in. Most of the methods were not so brightly, and they were not relieved to keep these hatred tenants around. Therefore, these people were homeless. Not only did they bring hidden dangers to society, but the annexed fields were also abandoned because there was no household to farm. This meant that grain output was declining. If everyone was united, and the large amount of grain provided by Wang Hua would be not a big problem, many grain merchants took advantage of this opportunity to hoard. Therefore, it is expected that when the summer harvest came, that is, when the grain prices fluctuated, some floating began to appear in the spring.

But I didn’t expect that Luoyang’s grain prices fell instead of rising, which is very strange.

If Wang Hua hadn't arranged for people to follow him, he might not have understood the reason.

"Not only that, because there is less copper, major merchants also have to continue doing business. In addition to the official flying money, there are also the flying money privately run by major merchants. In the end, they have to increase the issuance of flying money. But this money is a false money. Once the matter is revealed, those who hold the flying money in their hands will inevitably be cashed out. It is possible that these businesses will immediately face bankruptcy, so holding the flying money now is a very dangerous thing.

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought that copper was originally in short supply, so the imperial court issued an edict to carry a certain amount of raw silk in addition to copper coins to alleviate the lack of copper. However, if raw silk is kept properly, it can be kept for ten or eight years. Now, raw silk is rising day by day, and no one is willing to take out the raw silk for trading. The seller of cotton cloth is unwilling to accept it. But copper is not enough. From Wu Zetian to the present emperor and queen, they like to build temples and build countless golden Buddhas, which further leads to the lack of copper. Some people have cashed in copper for sale. If the flying money goes bankrupt, then when the transaction, the buyer will not get the money, and the seller will not see the cash, and the transaction will definitely not be successful.

What if there is no transaction?

In the end, all the products in the workshop cannot be sold. If they cannot be sold, the workshop will collapse. Even the farmers will not get the equipment they want, and life will be difficult. Then when the situation develops, he fought a cold war and said: "My little Hou, something big will happen."
