Wang Jinghui did not want to make money in war. He had enough wealth. Now he had time to even spend money. How could he care about the increase in property by an order of magnitude? In addition to him, there were more people who wanted to get rich. His task was to point out a path for these people that could make money and be beneficial to the country. Regarding this kind of business behavior of participating in sharing the benefits of war, Wang Jinghui estimated that the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall would definitely consider it carefully. Even if Sima Guang and Wang Anshi had to take a detour, after all, they had blocked so many wealth paths from various interest groups at once. Then it would be easy for them to do anything in the future.

In the last battle of the Security Army, Wang Jinghui made a fortune. Han Qi's reward and the emperor's reward were sufficient evidence for other big merchants with backgrounds. When others saw that they could make huge profits in the war, they naturally care about bleeding in advance. Of course, this is also a kind of gambling. If the Song army fails in the war, then all the rewards should be raised, which makes merchants also have to consider the outcome of the war. Wang Jinghui may say that they invested money in the War of Destroying Xia, but for Wang Shao's military operation to lead the troops to take over Xihe, he said that it is very difficult for merchants to invest money in it, because Wang Shao also participated in the operation to siege the main force of the Dingbian Army in the Battle of Dingbian Army, and he was somewhat arrogant. What's more, Wang Jinghui was one of the planners in this operation. All the merchants who were recruited were of course confident in this, and the reality was also moving towards the expected goal.

Wang Jinghui is more inclined to the Qin Dynasty. He only attacked without conquering and won't win. What is even more admirable is his logistics system. In later generations, he had read many reports that the Qin Dynasty's combat logistics supported its at least 600,000 troops to fight abroad all year round. This was a miracle for a country with a population of only a few million. Moreover, there were no internal riots and uprisings in the decades before the destruction of the six countries. In Wang Jinghui's eyes, this has risen to a "miracle". At least in the past few years since the Song Dynasty, Wang Jinghui knew that there were small-scale military mutinies, and he knew that small-scale peasant uprisings in the entire Song Dynasty history were also one after another.

Wang Jinghui wanted to introduce standardized production in later generations into the large-scale production process of this era. At least in his industry, the assembly line production model has been well popularized and has profoundly influenced the merchants in which he had business dealings. The reason why Hangzhou merchants were able to think of the process of alkali independent of the soap production was inspired by Wang Jinghui. It was difficult to achieve standardized production in this era. At least the mix of weights and measures units have brought great trouble to standardized production. The "jin" of the Song Dynasty was "sixteen taels", and the weight of the "liang" was also the weight of the later generations, which made Wang Jinghui prefer to use "stone".

Wang Jinghui assured Emperor Zhao Xu that the cost of cotton products could be reduced by 20% to 40%, which is also a false statement. Through auctions and standardized production, he roughly estimated that it is very certain to achieve this goal. The official cotton products production workshop is inefficient. Moreover, cotton products are "high-tech" things. According to the principle that commercial operating costs are much lower than state-owned operating costs, such non-core military materials can be handed over to merchants to complete.

As for the cotton products workshops under the original imperial military weapon prison, the original scale was huge in Wang Jinghui's eyes. He could organize merchants or simply buy them by himself, and bring all these skilled workers to the northwest or Hebei with great profits. In this way, the northern textile center in his mind could be realized earlier. The court could completely reduce the burden and purchase cheap textiles in its entire operation process.

The unified procurement of military materials is only Wang Jinghui's first step in optimizing social resources. When he solves the weight and measurement issues, it will be a dream to produce weapons as standardized parts and then assemble them. This will further reduce the military expenditure of the court. The cost of a bow and arrow is about 40 to 50 cents. If the standardized production in his heart can be achieved, it can reduce the cost by at least half. More importantly, if even weapons such as crossbows can be standardized in the future, then parts can be exchanged on the battlefield and their service life can be increased. In this way, it will be an exciting number!

Wang Jinghui did not write two letters as Emperor Zhao Xu thought, but instead listed the topic of "comprehensively reducing the cost of the foreign war court". Because of the battle of the Security Army and the model of Wang Shao's current in progress, in the first half, Wang Jinghui just put the facts there on the matter and put the facts there so that people can understand the interests between the war and the merchants very clearly. And how to coordinate and rationally use this relationship to achieve the greatest effect.

In the second half of the matter, regarding handing over some of the military supplies to merchants for production, Wang Jinghui stopped writing and asked Manager Li in detail about the cost of mass production of cotton products. He also entrusted Manager Li to let the merchants with special backgrounds outward, hoping that the forces behind them could make their own claims - this is a thing that is beneficial to the country and mutually beneficial. The forces behind them can not only get rich returns on their interests after the implementation of this policy, but also reduce the burden on the country. The things that kill two birds with one stone will naturally "everyone will do it together"!

In order to better speak of those officials of the court, Wang Jinghui also got rid of the cost of the imperial court's cotton products through some channels. After all, in the huge national system, this eunuch is a special existence. For example, Li Xian, as a eunuch, could lead troops to fight, and not all eunuchs appeared in the palace - they had their own system in military weapons supervision, and Eunuch Zhao's brother, the eunuch general manager, as long as they wanted to do it, it would be absolutely difficult for them to get this news.

Eunuch Zhao had read almost all the things written by Wang Jinghui. Naturally, he knew that the son-in-law wrote the memorials exactly the same as the memorials he had seen before. The places where the accurate values ​​were definitely checked before they could be written up. So a light sentence was: "Please wait for the son-in-law for a long time!" At night, he handed Wang Jinghui a list, which detailed the cost of cotton fabrics such as the winter and summer army tents.

Three days later, Wang Jinghui's "Comprehensive Reducing the Cost of Foreign War" was sent to all the ministers of the Secretariat. The content of this memorial was a long time since the Secretariat's content - Emperor Zhao Xu used the method of summoning alone to pre-exist on Wang Anshi and Sima Guang. The effect was very great, but Wang Anshi was still okay. He thought that the son-in-law's method could be tried, but Sima Guang opposed it a little.

When Sima Guang himself actually saw this letter, he was not moved. It was avoidable that the court wanted to fight. Even if the Song Dynasty launched a war, the Dangxiang in the northwest said that he would start to cause trouble again after he recovered his vitality. The most core convenience of this letter by Wang Jinghui was how to spend the least money to make the court get the greatest benefits. Sima Guang had to admit that he was far inferior to Wang Jinghui in this regard. In this regard, what really made Sima Guang excited was the data, and he himself belonged to the "reducing" faction. Although the letter by the prince-consort also had a strong "open source" flavor, it was in line with his appetite. The only thing that criticized was to let merchants participate in the operation of the military system.

"It is difficult and difficult for merchants to participate in related simple parts or cotton coats, and complex production, and have the advantages of the imperial workshops!" Wang Jinghui explained to the surrounding officials and emperor Zhao Xu in the meeting hall temporarily organized by the Secretariat. In his eyes, the entire venue was arranged at the same time as the doctoral thesis defense site, and there were more people. The Secretariat, the disciples and the heads of the three core departments of the Secretariat and the Privy Council, and took turns to ask questions to Wang Jinghui.

"Is there anything in between? They are all made by craftsmen!" Although the people's house in Menxia Province has both high official titles, it has the power to return the edict. One of the officials looks very fond of it, but he speaks with thorns. Wang Jinghui feels that he has owed him any debts and has not paid them back.

"Of course the same! The simplest example is that Sang Hongyang and others in the Han Dynasty took over the production of things that were originally produced by the people. The quality of their products was very poor and the people were willing to use them, let alone fighting against the enemy on the battlefield to fight to the death! The merchant workshops and the imperial workshops have essential functions. If they do well in the merchant workshops, they can only improve their financial treatment and even their status grows. The imperial workshops are just craftsmen who are on the ground, and their craftsmen have no motivation to be ambitious at all. Both are the products of merchant workshops, and the products of the imperial workshops are as good as possible, and it is difficult to say. It depends on who will be the manager of this workshop!"

Wang Jinghui walked to his table and picked up a cup of tea and drank it in one breath. He continued: "I know other people's workshops, but in the workshops, as long as the craftsmen can make suggestions for improvement and can be adopted, the reward can even reach a thousand taels of silver! This adult knows how much salary he will be for one year?!"

Wang Jinghui was very angry that the officials in the House were always entangled. Finally, he forgot to sarcastically say that it caused a scene of laughter in such a serious place as the Secretariat. It was Emperor Zhao Xu who waved his hand to suppress the laughter and gave the official a step.

"Although the letter from the prince-consort is well written, what can I use to ensure that the goods ordered by the court from merchants can guarantee its quality?!" Sima Guang said slowly.

"My Lord, for this kind of transaction, the court can strictly calibrate the various requirements required by the court in advance. Then divide the order into several parts for auction. After the first small transaction, the court will know which merchant has better workmanship, and order qualified merchants to compensate for losses and allow bidding in the future. This ensures that merchants compete with each other, and the court can get benefits only in terms of price, and there is no problem in terms of quality. Then again, with the guarantee of the violent institutions of the court, which merchant dares to take risks with his life?!"

Sima Guang nodded after hearing this. Although it was really a pleasure to cooperate with the merchant, he knew that compared with his own interests, it was not easy to "talk about profit"! After getting the explanation from the prince-consort, he thought about it carefully and sat down and asked others to continue asking questions.

"If the general and other things are handed over to merchants to make, what should we do if the court's workshop is?" Zeng Gongliang asked.

"In this note, it has been explained that four central cities with cotton spinning as the pillars are established in the northwest and Hebei routes. It is definitely enough to recruit weavers from the local area, and it will take a long time of training. I think that if a merchant splits the weaving workshops of the court and moves the craftsmen in these workshops to the northwest for profit. This will improve the production capacity in the shortest time. Moreover, the cotton farming in the northwest is also a designated crop. Setting up a textile center in the northwest can well digest the cotton produced in the military, and supplying the army also saves less freight!"

…………

In the conference hall of the Secretariat, dozens of people took turns to ask Wang Jinghui questions. He answered with ease and advanced and retreated properly. This kind of ability made some ministers feel sorry for him. Moreover, the son-in-law is usually upright and has a wrong reputation. Even the ministers who have some objections in their hearts gradually gave up their original ideas and prepared.

Emperor Zhao Xu saw that the son-in-law was like a mouth full of his body to deal with the questions of these ministers, and his mouth was almost "o-shaped. After that, he soon found that the degree of questioning was beyond his bottom line, so he waved his hand and said, "The son-in-law's strategy is very good. What else do you have to ask? If you don't have it, please pass this letter!"

When the ministers saw the emperor's posture, they knew that the son-in-law had won the permission of Emperor Zhao Xu. The method proposed by the letter was indeed reasonable. If they were against the emperor, they kept talking. The Secretariat's verbal battle came to an end. In fact, the people who attended the meeting understood in their hearts. Wang Jinghui's letter was clearly speaking for merchants. But the actual benefits were all the nobles of the court and even important figures in the harem, "officials and merchants", "officials and merchants", and those who could be tied together to do business by the son-in-law. These ministers knew the background of the background, and even Zeng Gongliang himself had members.

Among the top merchants in the Song Dynasty, almost every one was the spokesperson of a minister in the court. Otherwise, how could the business be so big? Wang Shao went west and said how many spoils there were, how many cattle, sheep and horses were there every year in Hehuang? Two percent of the land was for five consecutive years. If these cattle and sheep were transported to Biandu or Jiangnan, the number of wealth would probably be multiplied by ten! Opposing the passage of the memorial of the prince-consort would cut off the wealth path of these big men behind the scenes. How can they live in the future?!

As the prince-in-law said, the emperor, ministers and even the people of the Song Dynasty would see how much money they consumed in a battle. As long as they could win quickly, what would they do to take out part of the dividends of the war? After five years, will the horse farms and cattle and sheep farms belong to the Song Dynasty? As for the textile workshops in the court, they are also places where money is burned. Officials at all levels are shirking their responsibilities. If they are directly broken up and sold to merchants, the court will also be able to get rid of a big burden. In the past, they will just cut off the officials who rely on for the money to make money.

Just like the Song Dynasty, the Queen Mother Liang and Li Qing of Western Xia lived a good life, especially Li Qing, who also knew that some talkative guy came out to slander Empress Liang in the harem. As a result, Li Qing was so scared that after connecting two imperial edicts, he actually dared to go to Xingqing Mansion. He used the excuse that Song Dynasty had frequently acted on the border recently to evade the envoys of Xingqing Mansion. Even though he had the last elite troops of more than 100,000 in Xixia, Li Qing still did not have the courage to approach Xingqing Mansion. The knife in the hand of the angry Empress Dowager Liang had been sharpened, and he was waiting for Li Qing to come to her.

With Li Qing, Empress Dowager Liang was much sadder than Li Qing. Since Liang Yi died of illness and Liang Gewei died in battle, Empress Dowager Liang's ability to control the court became more and more difficult. Even so, Empress Dowager Liang, who was able to wear military armor to conquer Emperor Liangzuo in the Song Dynasty, still used superhuman ability to control the already contradictory nomadic country of Xixia. Empress Dowager Liang used his sixth squad in his hand to gradually control the situation in Xingqing Prefecture without deteriorating.

After the news came that Li Qing said she had committed sexual misconduct, the forbidden ban made her angry, and she was so angry that she immediately captured Li Qing and killed him. That was possible. Now, after the failure of two major battles in the Western Xia Dynasty, the military strength of Dangxiang was the best. In addition to the combat effectiveness of Dangxiang's sixth squad to 5,000 troops, it was the best in Dangxiang's hands. After the Liang family had just experienced a major change, the Liang family lost serious blood loss and was almost at its weakest time. After seeing Li Qing refused to come to Xingqing Mansion twice for the reason of busy military affairs, Queen Mother Liang knew that it was still time to settle accounts with Li Qing at this time, so he could only give up. The Western Xia royal family had only one son, Bingchang. Who can control Bingchang, even if the Liang family is strong, they dared to offend the public and anger to depose the little emperor, not to mention that it is far from that point now - Empress Dowager Liang was Bingchang's biological mother!
