The notes Wang Jinghui presented to Emperor Zhao Xu on the issue of the Xiang Army were not very innovative, and he had played all the new styles in Chuzhou. This notation mainly summarized the methods of cutting the Xiang Army, and of course focused on explaining the biggest way to divert the Xiang Army - military farming.

There is no way to reduce the scale of the Xiang army than the Xiang army. In fact, the idea of ​​using the military farming method to divert the Xiang army was not the first time Wang Jinghui thought of. Some people have suggested this before, and even tried it. As a result, except for a few who were able to succeed, most of them ended in failure, which made the court unable to get angry about the military farming matter.

Wang Anshi's mouth was raised when he read this, and he was obviously disdainful of the prince-consort's way of talking about the Xiang army's farming method. After all, there were so many failed examples before him. At this time, it was just an excuse to attract attention. However, when he saw that Wang Jinghui actually advocated that the ownership of the Xiang army's farming belong to the military soldiers, his heart also moved: people died for money, birds died for food. Wang Jinghui used this to tie the cut-off Xiang army to the land. You must know that these Xiang army were originally farmers who lost their land in disasters. Their greatest wish was to be able to regain the land and get rid of the identity of the Xiang army.

"But can this road be understood by returning the ownership of the land to the Xiangjun?!"

Wang Anshi asked Wang Jinghui who was drinking tea next to him. Although it was inconvenient for his identity to visit relatives like the prince-consort, he was also a free and easy person. He naturally disdained the old guys who said that wind was rain in the censorate. After reading the letter, he came to knock on the door of the prince-consort's mansion.

Regarding Wang Anshi's visit, this was a rare guest of the Prince Consort's Mansion. After Wang Anshi explained his purpose, Wang Jinghui simply invited Sima Guang to save the time being that he would have to spend more time to persuade Sima Guang to work together. The three of them sat casually in Wang Jinghui's study, and Eunuch Zhao was serving tea and pouring water on the side. With him, Wang Jinghui would not worry about the censors coming to gossip.

"The question raised by Mr. Jiefu is the key to solving the military farming in the wings. The two gentlemen have extensive knowledge. Can you answer the students: Why did previous generations constantly try to use military farming to digest the excess military farming and suffer repeated failures?" Wang Jinghui asked with a smile.

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang both looked at each other. Because neither of them had any experience in farming, Wang Jinghui understood what they looked like, and said with great understanding: "Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, ministers of all dynasties have never given up on the idea of ​​farming and breeding border areas. The two main directions are the Hebei routes and Qin Feng and Yongxing in the northwest. These two directions are the directions of the powerful enemy of the Liao Kingdom and Xixia of the Song Dynasty. The court originally wanted to rely on farming to meet the supply of land, grain and grass needed for border wars, and to feed on the spot, so as to avoid the trouble of long-distance logistics supply. In the past, when farming was in the military, the local officials in charge of this matter simply allocated land, seeds and tools to the Xiang army, but why did it lead to failure in the end? The key is that the ownership of the land of the military farming was not in the hands of the Xiang army. When the land was truly developed and mature, the court would jump out. It is not surprising that the official seized the military farming incident!"

When Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu was in power, he had asked Wang Jinghui many times about the reduction of the wing army. Wang Jinghui knew that the policies he implemented were still a drop in the bucket for the wing army of hundreds of thousands, and the most effective way was to farm farming. For this reason, he also consulted many letters on farming in the past dynasties and found that this farming was not easy. There were many losers, and those who succeeded were rare.

Wang Jinghui was also very confused about this. I remember when I looked at the Three Kingdoms, didn’t Cao Cao make a fortune by making a fortune by military farming? Why was it so hard in peaceful times? After careful research, I found that soldiers had no land ownership after military farming. Often, the time for military farming was seized by officials was often happened. After the country took back these military farming fields, it could not be properly handled, and in the end it was abandoned. You should know that the locations of military farming were all places where military farming was dangerous. Ordinary people just saw that the land prices there were cheap, so who dared to take the risk of losing their heads to farm?!

The question Wang Anshi asked was the key to whether the military farming could be successful. When Emperor Zhao Xu received this letter, he also had questions about the ownership of the land in the Xiangjun, believing that it was unnecessary. Moreover, it was really difficult to convince several ministers of the Zhongshu for this purpose, because the share of land flowing to the land market in the Song Dynasty was very large every year, which was also an additional income. For example, after Wang Jinghui built water conservancy in Chuzhou and handed over to the Xiangjun for reclamation, the mature land was formed, which was first-class fertile land. In addition, there was a lack of cotton, rapeseed and other economic crops in Chuzhou, and the market price was extremely high.

However, Emperor Zhao Xu was eventually convinced by Wang Jinghui. However, Qin Feng, the military farming pilot project, the military farming rights in Yongxing and Hebei were owned by the Xiangjun, and other places still adopted the old policy. This was a huge concession for Wang Jinghui, with the condition that overseas trade would make up for the gap caused by this policy, and he would have to deal with several ministers from the Zhongshu Zhengshi Hall. So even if Wang Anshi did not come to find him today, he would go to Wang Anshi's mansion to sell it.

"Businessmen seek profit, but the people of the world also yearn for a good life. It can be seen that as long as the people are given enough benefits, the policies they are implemented will not be difficult to turn into reality! Students think that the major lack of the way of farming in the past was that the land rights were not owned by the cultivated persons, so they naturally could not mobilize the enthusiasm of the Xiang army to cultivate farming, and it was natural that the failure of the military farming was caused by the failure of the military farming. The Xiang army was originally a kind act of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong who collected the poor into the army to pity the people of the world. There was no problem when the country was strong. However, now the country's finances are in short supply and cannot support so many Xiang army. It simply abolished and did not find a good job for them. Then new problems will naturally evolve in the future. Students think that as long as they give them land and a little bit, they can silently digest hundreds of thousands of Xiang army..."

Wang Jinghui began to inspire Wang Anshi and Sima Guang to paint cakes without realizing it. In his opinion, the time and space he used to live in. The fuse of the reform and opening up that profoundly affected China was the fire of several farmers in Fengyang Mountain Village? It was these farmers who used the simplest method to explain a truth: what profits are. The current situation of the Xiangjun military farming is somewhat similar to that of later generations. Wang Jinghui wanted to use land ownership as bait to promote the Xiangjun farming to achieve the goal of successfully cutting the Xiangjun.

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi were also thinking in their minds that Wang Jinghui had already said very clearly. After hearing this, they also felt that handing over the ownership of the land to the Xiang army could greatly stimulate the enthusiasm of the Xiang army to farm. However, just as Emperor Zhao Xu was concerned, they were also more worried about the income from land transfer.

"The idea of ​​replacing it is still good, but the money from selling land every year is also one of the main sources of income for the Song Dynasty's finances. If the land ownership is handed over to the Xiangjun, there will inevitably be a hole in the finances, which is not easy to make up for!" Wang Anshi said from the side. Originally, it was a good thing to cut the Xiangjun. Wang Anshi did not work much in this regard, especially studying what Wang Jinghui did during his tenure in Chuzhou, but found that not everyone could do as good as the prince-in-law. Whether it was the postal system, engineering soldiers, bodyguards, oil pressing, textile alliances, this required a wild idea. Although Wang Anshi had been conceited in his articles and knowledge, it would be difficult to invent oil pressing machines, cotton spinning machines, etc.

Wang Jinghui turned around and took out a memorial from the bookshelf and handed it to Sima Guang and Wang Anshi. When they opened the font, they knew that this was the "hard pen calligraphy" unique to the princess. Sima Guang had seen it before. Since the princess' marriage, the letters, memorials and other words that the princess and the outside world have been copied by the eldest princess of Shu or the eunuch next to him. It is rare to see such "original" letters written by the princess of the princess himself.

This memorial was a plan for the Xiang army to cultivate the land after Wang Jinghui obtained the promise of Emperor Zhao Xu's land ownership. Wang Anshi was called "I will never forget it". Although he was a fake compared to Wang Jinghui's pervert, he was indispensable. After reading this letter, he took a breath: It is impossible not to say that this is a huge plan. In this plan, Wang Jinghui planned to use Xiang army to cultivate 300,000 Xiang army in the first five years, and in the following twenty years, he would continue to invest in the Xiang army's land and Qin Feng, and Yongxing continued to invest in the Xiang army's land and cultivate garrison. Even while garrisoning in the north, he would slowly turn the target of farming to Jinghu.

Sima Guang and Wang Anshi thought silently. If we continue to do this according to Wang Jinghui's letter, then hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Song Dynasty would not be enough! In fact, Wang Jinghui was considering not only the simplest of soldiers in the garrison. He wanted to establish a grain production base in the north and northwest so that the supply and demand of grain in the north and south of the Song Dynasty could be maintained on a relatively balanced basis. The most important thing was that once the military farm in the north was successful, when fighting with the Khitan and Dangxiang in the future, the Song Dynasty would not have to pay a heavy price for logistics. Logistics needed to digest it in the north as much as possible, and also to reduce the transportation pressure of the Song Dynasty canal and share the risks caused by the discomfort caused by natural disasters. As for the development of the Jinghu two routes, it is a matter of time. He still knew the mantra of "Huguang is familiar, the world is sufficient", but the natural conditions of the Jinghu two routes are still very bad now and belong to the area of ​​exile of officials.

Unlike Sima Guang, Wang Anshi read another taste from this letter - the focus of the Xiang army's military farming was not on the Hebei routes, but on Qin Feng and Yongxing in the northwest! The 300,000 30,000 230,000 40,000 230,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200,000 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200 200

Sima Guang also read this letter and said with some concern: "If it is corrected, if it can be successfully implemented according to this letter, it will naturally be a success for the Song Dynasty. However, you wrote in the article that not only should you give the ownership of the land to the Xiang army, but you should provide it with seeds and tools, but you also have to provide livestock such as plowing oxen. When the military farming in this army has not yet seen the results, the court has to spend a large amount of start-up funds for it. Now the court's finances have just improved, and doing so may not make enough money to spend all the previous fiscal surplus!"

Wang Anshi didn't care much about Sima Guang's words. In his opinion, as long as he could solve the big burden of Xiangjun, the money spent would be extremely cost-effective compared to the long-term interests in the future.

What he cared more about was that Wang Jinghui stuffed all so many wing troops to the northwest, and had to limit time. What exactly did he want to do?

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "Mr. Junshi's concerns are very necessary, but the students have already figured out a way out for this amount of money. The court can solve the start-up funds for the Xiangjun military farmland without even having to pay!"

The start-up funds for the Xiangjun military farming are not a small amount. Take the messy expenses such as seeds, farm tools, oxen, and family settlement fees together. The start-up costs for each 10,000 jin of qianjun military farming will not be less than 800,000 jin. In the first year, the food was not seen, and the food had to be invested. The second year was able to gradually get on track, and there was a very huge number in between, so the military farming is not something that the court could do if it wanted. Sima Guang realized in a moment that the scale of the startup capital might not be lower than the cost of a war. It was very pertinent to say it at this time, but Wang Jinghui's answer was enough to shock them.

The prince-consort is not an ordinary rich man. It is estimated that the person who can be richer than the Song Dynasty is the emperor. "Did the prince-consort think of this money to promote the military farming in the brigades?" This idea appeared in Wang Anshi and Sima Guang's mind, but Wang Jinghui quickly explained it.

"We can encourage businessmen and let them participate in the military farming!" This is the retreat that Wang Jinghui had already thought of. If the court paid all the financial expenses in such a large amount, he would probably be dismembered by the ministers of the Zhengshi Hall. He had also worried about the start-up capital at the beginning. However, after hearing about the venture capital of later generations, he took them over and used them without realizing it. Haven't eaten pork and seen pigs running? Wang Jinghui planned to draw cakes for merchants in the Song Dynasty and let them pay. Although this move was not very kind, it was indeed something that both sides could benefit. Wang Jinghui said that he would go on the road of "fraud".

Although it is "a gentleman does not speak of profit", Wang Jinghui has not said profit in the court. He just dared not stand publicly on the opposite side of the Shilin land and shouted about profit. The ministers who often participated in the Funing Hall discussions knew Wang Jinghui's "full of money" face - this was the comment of Zhao Qian, a former assistant minister, before, but Zhao Qian was exiled for Sima Guang's impeachment of his family's greed.

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang both knew about the royal shipping of the Song Dynasty. The prince consort captured all the Empress Dowager Zeng Gongliang, the assistant minister of the magistrate. Even the emperor paid 300,000 yuan of "members". Not only did they gather terrifying funds to do business, but they also used generous profits to please all forces. Many people broke their heads and joined them, but the funding gap was filled. Thinking of such a great ability, the two nodded convincingly to the "bold words" made by Wang Jinghui.

"Two gentlemen, with the deepening development of overseas trade in the Song Dynasty, the demand for goods from overseas countries for our Song Dynasty is increasing day by day. However, raw materials are needed for manufacturing goods. Cotton cloth cannot be separated from cotton, and edible oil cannot be separated from rapeseed and peanuts... When students were working in Chuzhou, they thought that due to the high profits of textiles and oil extraction, it would induce farmers to plant large quantities of cotton, rapeseed and other crops, but this affects the cultivation of grain. Although it has been limited, it is like adding water to a boiling pot, which can only temporarily relieve the urgent need."

"Haha, do you want to plant cotton on the ground where the farm is farmed? This is a good idea! But what does this have to do with the start-up funds for farming?" Wang Anshi asked with a smile. He vaguely guessed Wang Jinghui's method.

"Mr. Jiefu expected that although it was not the best, it was not far away. When the Xiang army was in the military farming, it not only had to grow grain, but cotton and oil crops profited more than grain, which could quickly relieve the pressure on the imperial court on military farming, so it was naturally necessary to plant vigorously. However, this plan also required some cooperation from the imperial court. Although Chuzhou limited the area of ​​grain and cotton planting when the student left office, it could not stop other places. Therefore, as long as the court clearly announced that the cultivation of grain must be guaranteed to be within a safe range, textile merchants and oil press merchants could turn their attention to the military farming of the Xiang army. The imperial court only needed to induce it to obtain the startup capital needed for military farming!"

"This can really make up for the cost of the imperial court's military farming!" Wang Anshi said with a smile, and Sima Guang next to him also nodded in agreement.

"Then the students thought everything was ready, and they only had the east wind. Do you know what objection did the two gentlemen have to hand over the ownership of the land to the Xiang army?" Wang Jinghui also said with a smile. Land ownership is a very sensitive matter after all. If he did not draw cakes for them first, the military farming plan would still be blocked by the two and aborted.
