Chapter 248 Return

Emperor Zhao Xu's letter arrived soon, which was much faster than Wang Jinghui expected - Wang Anshi poked a big hole, and the Qingmiao Law and the Market Change Law in his history finally made a brilliant debut. Although some of the provisions were as similar to what Wang Jinghui remembered, they were probably influenced by themselves, changing the soup and medicine would also cause many ministers to question.

The storm disturbed by Wang Anshi's new law is nothing in Wang Jinghui's eyes. The finances of the Song Dynasty were much better than the same period in history. As long as Guanghui Cang was used to touch his bottom line, anything could be saved. What attracted his attention was that Wang Shao had secretly arrived in Qinzhou - this was the most important content of the letter from Emperor Zhao Xu. He sent Wang Shao to guide Qinzhou to take advantage of the emptiness and internal strife in Xixia, and quickly deal with the Tubo tribe problem south of Xixia and the Hehuang area, so as to achieve the strategic goal of Xixia to defend the enemy from both sides.

When Wang Jinghui and Wang Shao jointly submitted "Pingrong Ce" a few years ago, they conducted a profound and insightful analysis of the development and changes of the Tubo tribes in the Hehuang area and the significance of seizing Hehuang. If the military goals they proposed could be achieved, they could only directly strengthen the defense work for the Western Xia and change the passive status of the Northern Song Dynasty in the Song-Xia War. More importantly, they could improve the political reputation of the reform faction, show the power of the reform movement, and thus promote the progress of reform. This is the main driving force for Wang Anshi to deduce the "Pingrong Ce" to promote the specific implementation of Wang Shao.

"Pingrong Sect" is already the "Three Strategies for Pingrong" presented by Wang Shao in history, but "Five Strategies for Pingrong". In the early days, Emperor Zhao Shu attached great importance to this and wanted to implement it, but was stopped by Wang Jinghui. The Song Dynasty had sufficient financial resources, and Dangxiang's strength was not fully weakened at that time, and it would become a quagmire for the Song Dynasty. For example, after first infiltration of economic and cultural aspects of the Western Xia, laying the foundation and making plans, so this has been delayed to this day.

Wang Anshi's abacus was very obvious. Wang Jinghui also knew that Wang Shao and Wang Anshi were very close, so he introduced Wang Shao to Wang Anshi himself. Now Wang Shao is on the side of the reform sect. This is also something that Wang Jinghui feels helpless. It is useless to regret it now, but this is also a bad thing. At least he and Wang Shao are still very close. As for Wang Shao's military victory to fight for the reform sect to survive. Wang Jinghui feels that this is not a big deal. The conservatives are so popular now.

The greatness of using Wang Anshi to kill them is also in line with his intentions. The most important thing is that Wang Shao's military actions will truly put Xixia in danger. Wang Jinghui has already allowed Xixia to show off his power in front of him. He must completely resolve the Western Xia problem within these few years, either destroying the country or destroying the disabled. Anyway, the Dangxiang people must withdraw from the stage of history. However, such a regime came to threaten the Song Dynasty in the northwest. When the Song Dynasty clashed with its old enemy, the Liao Kingdom, it was ultimately a very big hidden danger.

"Madam, it's time for us to pack up our things and return to Kaifeng, Bian!" Wang Jinghui took the letter and said to his wife.

"Are you willing to return to Biandu? Do you have to wait for a while?" Zhao Qianyu asked with a smile.

Wang Jinghui shrugged and said, "There is no way. There is still more important thing to do in Kaifeng. After a few years of use, the Dangxiang people in the northwest will be completely flattened. We must make some preparations. This is a matter of concern to the fate of the Great Song Dynasty. I am in a difficult position!"

"I really hope that our Song Dynasty can prosper forever, and the people can live and work in peace and be invaded by foreign races!" Zhao Qianyu said silently.

Wang Jinghui smiled and said, "Mrs. My wife's wish is so easy to realize now. My husband promised you to do my best to assist the emperor!"

"My husband is just talking about it. If he had this heart, where would he be in West Lake now?" Qianyu said jokingly.

After hearing this, Wang Jinghui was almost choked by tea and said awkwardly: "There is a way to change things, and it is a way to advance and retreat. Although doing this for the husband is to retreat, it is to make great strides in the future!" Qianyu said a word after hearing this, which made Wang Jinghui a little dirt-like. This was just a joke between husband and wife. Whether it was Wang Jinghui or Zhao Qianyu, they all knew in their hearts that they could definitely use the method of "even if there are thousands of people, I will go."

Although Wang Jinghui and his wife are leaving Hangzhou and returning to Kaifeng, what they have done in Hangzhou in the past few months will definitely be interrupted with their departure. The soap business in the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce has begun to operate. In the Song Dynasty, 30 cities with a population of more than 200,000 have large soap workshops opened at the same time. Each workshop will accommodate less than 200 people. In addition, there is a hot alkali production workshop in the north and south of the Yangtze River, and the workers working here have exceeded 300 people. This is just the beginning. According to the reaction of soap input into the market and the calculations of Wang Jinghui and Hangzhou merchants, soap workshops can be opened in towns with a population of more than 20,000. The price of soap is basically maintained at a level of 20 to 30 cents. Although the soap is small, it also holds the profits and shipments large.

Under the instruction of Wang Jinghui, Hangzhou merchants also bought perfume from black-clothed big-sized people at high prices. After several experiments, they also made perfume soap - the birthday of the Empress Dowager Taihuang, Li Shen, the military affairs officer of Hangzhou, sent a truck of perfume soap to Kaifeng, Biandu, and became very popular after being used by women in the palace. Although women in this era were from the main door and entered the second door, wealthy families could easily see people. After this perfume soap was added, the cost of perfume was mainly the female family members of powerful families. The high walls and deep courtyards of the palace blocked the woman's nature of beauty. After word of mouth, in Kaifeng, Biandu, this soap priced at 300 cigarettes was a problem for wealthy families. More than 100 pieces of soap produced in soap workshops outside Biandu City were sold out every day, and most of other densely populated cities were the same, which greatly increased the profit margin of soap.

In order to further expand the profit margin of soap, these Hangzhou merchants spared their efforts. Inspired by Wang Jinghui, they added perfume to soap and made perfume soap, and tried to add various spices to them. What Wang Jinghui talked about the most was the application of olive oil in soap. When he got the soap with olive oil, he realized that the origin of olives was in China! In the past, he always saw words such as "Zhongguo" and "Jingguo" in memorials, but he understood that this was

What does it mean? At this time, he realized that this is all the difference between olive fruit. This is because its special charm of bitter first and sweetness is the same as the character of loyal ministers in ancient times. This opened Wang Jinghui's eyes. Among high-end soap products, because the price of perfume is really expensive, and Wang Jinghui also knew that the benefits of the skin are the best or the addition of olive oil soap, so it is recommended to mainly produce olive soap. The raw materials of perfume soap must also be found from those who cannibalism.

The production process is out. As for how to set it up, it is the business of Hangzhou merchants. He believes that local perfumes from native to China will appear in the long run.

Hangzhou West Lake College holds 40% of the soap dividend, so the funding for running schools is naturally a problem. Xu arranged several capable accounts in this college to control the purpose of running schools. The internal management of the academy is entirely run by a "Mr. Council of Mr.". West Lake College gathers the most promising scholars in Jiangnan. Although it is more popular than the Northern Huaying Academy where Ouyang Xiu is in charge of the situation, it is also a cultural gathering that attracts a large number of students to study. In addition to creating the "Mr. Council of Mr. Council" system, Wang Jinghui also established a scholarship system in order to maximize the support of poor students. As long as he is willing to work hard, he can complete his studies with scholarships.

Of course, in order to develop subjects such as accounting, numerology, and physics, there is also a "chamber of commerce scholarship" jointly donated by the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce. Those who received the scholarship can work in the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce after completing their studies in three years - these disciplines are unpopular subjects. Wang Jinghui's opening of these disciplines made the people in the Shilin very confused. Only a few wise people can see the profound meaning. In order to divert scholars from the Song Dynasty, they had to use generous material conditions to impress students to choose subjects to study.

As for West Lake Women's College, after obtaining the consent of the students' families, all the girls went north with the eldest princess of Shu Kingdom. They will complete their studies in Kaifeng, Biandu. Wang Jinghui's persistence was beyond Zhao Qianyu's expectations. Although she knew the reason for her husband's doing this, she was very happy to find something to do outside her husband, children, and relatives. Wang Jinghui moved the Women's College to Kaifeng just to find something to relieve his wife's boredom, and more importantly

What he wants is that he is willing to see the first female school in Chinese history built under heavy pressure disappeared because he returned to Biandu. Just as his usual creed, "No matter how strong a dam is, just open a small hole on it. Sooner or later, the entire dam will collapse on its entire line!" Improving the social status of women is a very difficult thing in China, an ancient country, but he does not care whether he can see that day. As long as he starts, the rest is still

It depends on what future generations have to do.

"Shen'er, whether you can get much political capital in the position of Hangzhou Junzhou Affairs depends entirely on how the people in Hangzhou live. The key to the living standards of the people is the food. No matter what happens in the court in the future, you must participate in it too deeply, steadily repair water conservancy projects, and vigorously promote double-season rice seeds." Wang Jinghui is about to set off back to Kaifeng, Biandu. As a person with a close relationship with him, although Li Shen has gradually grown up and become a "special official" with a very high start among the officials of the Song Dynasty, he still has to give him many instructions.

"Students should keep in mind the teacher's teachings!" Li Shen said.

"My teacher and your father are secretly acquiring the land in Hangzhou. Taking advantage of this increasingly fierce business trend, local tycoons are all willing to get a share of the pie. Their power to control the land has been weakened, which is a good time to acquire. The acquired land will operate in the same pattern as the land we acquire in other regions, which can also reduce the good consequences of land mergers."

"Change it, it's better to do this matter by Xu. Why do you have to spend money?" Manager Li said from the side.

"Brother Zhenquan, this is related to the imperial court. If there is any change, it will be more convenient for me to protect these land, so that you Xu family will fall into it. Shen'er, although Jiangsu and Zhejiang are a land of fish and rice, the proportion of grain output in the total grain output of the Song Dynasty is not very high, and it has been estimated by teachers. Even if it is a double-season rice, the grain output here can account for 30% of the country's output! Hangzhou has developed transportation, and at least a little relaxed in business, it can be enough to ensure tax growth. As long as you do a good job in grain, your talents will be appreciated by the emperor. This is the real way to stand out!" Wang Jinghui said.

What Wang Jinghui said about the grain output in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can reach 30% of the country. This was not because he made it up, but because he knew that Jiangsu and Zhejiang were veritable rice bags in the Qing Dynasty in the later Qing Dynasty, and nearly half of the national grain was obtained from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Wang Jinghui believed that the farming level of the Song Dynasty was far different from that in the Qing Dynasty. Even if it was too late, it was not possible to reach 30%. During the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, the population was larger than that of now, and the agricultural seed levels in the two periods were also much different. I still know when to achieve the effect in the north. If the agriculture in Jiangsu and Zhejiang can be fully developed, it will have great significance for social stability. Of course, the premise is that the fields here can be too concentrated in the hands of local tyrants and must be included in their own grain system!

"The court should invade the land of the people, right?" Manager Li asked with some concern.

"At least it should be! Brother Zhenquan, you have read a few books. You should know that although being too rich can bring great glory, it also bears corresponding risks! You and I are already the leaders of the rich people of the Song Dynasty. Even the emperor's inner treasury may not be much more industries than our two companies! Now Shen'er passed the top scorer in the exam, and the future is to say that your and my life may be more favorable than now. Just maintain this level in family property. The rest is to use the opportunity to do business to vigorously bind forces from all sides. No matter whether he represents a businessman, an official, or even an emperor, only when the bigger the plate is made, the earth is allowed to be swallowed by the emperor. That is the way for a long time!" Wang Jinghui said with a smile.

Wang Jinghui knew that no rich man could have glorified his life in Chinese history. Most of them were fattened and slaughtered by the rulers as pigs. This situation could be avoided even in later modern China. The long-term historical accumulation made the Chinese people particularly hate the rich in their bones. This was also caused by the wealthy people after they became rich and kind. He was worried that he would be dealt with by the emperor in his lifetime, but this historical accumulation itself is a distorted and perverted. Only by slowly changing this situation can the Chinese people's ambition to create wealth. Moreover, this ambition must be external, so...

Manager Li has heard Wang Jinghui's remarks only once. In fact, he is also thinking about how to make Xu's family develop for a long time, but he has no answer. So far, he has not only made money, but also spent money together - vigorously investing in social welfare undertakings. His motivation is also very simple. He regards Wang Jinghui as Feng Xi of Mengchangjun, which has only made Xu's industry expand wildly, and has also brought a high reputation to Xu's family, which is beyond Xu's expectations.

It was very special for Wang Jinghui and his wife to leave Hangzhou - the couple drove a boat in a small boat and rode the West Lake. After coming from the East Lake, they got on a carriage under the setting sun and quietly left Hangzhou and went to Biandu.

When Wang Jinghui and his wife were passing by Chuzhou, Xue Xiangzhi, the governor of Chuzhou, boarded a boat to visit Wang Jinghui. He finally hit the wall. The Chuzhou water conservancy project has been well repaired since Wang Jinghui's tenure. Xue Xiangzhi was afraid that the people would be in trouble, so he benefited the water conservancy law and was impeached by the censor. While Xue Xiangzhi lamented that he was unlucky, he also envied Li Shen for such a good time as soon as he arrived in Hangzhou. Hangzhou's water conservancy renovation was very vivid and had a son-in-law beside him. Naturally, the new law was implemented effectively, so he asked Wang Jinghui for advice on how to overcome the difficulties.

"Switch?!" Xue Xiangzhi asked in surprise. Wang Jinghui gave him only one word of advice, but it made him scratch his head.

"Wrong! Brother Qingyun, in fact, Chuzhou water conservancy project still has some potential to be tapped, but there is still a lot of room for it. If you want to deal with the pressure from the court, you can only upgrade some projects - use cement to build a dam!"

"That's a waste of money!"

Wang Jinghui was very satisfied with his answer. Chuzhou is now very rich and he is worried about financial issues at all. If Xue Xiangzhi pleased the reformists, he would naturally be able to deal with it easily, but he did not do this, which made Wang Jinghui very impressed.

"Brother Qingyun's understanding is somewhat biased. 'change' means strengthening the dams with cement. In addition, the salt industry in Fuyang and other places. The salt drying technology there is very mature, which can save more labor costs than boiling salt. Brother Qingyun can continue to repair the 'Fan Gong Dike' and use cement to build salt fields. Is it your credit?!"
