Chapter 1146 I am looking forward to the birth of a powerful weapon
Chapter 1146
I always reported that Zhao Xu, the emperor who wanted to repeat the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties, naturally I hope that the stronger the military preparations of the Song Dynasty, the better.
Emperor Zhao Xu listened to Wang Yang's words seriously, and while squinting his eyes tightly, he began to think carefully in his mind.
"If the military weapon surveillance starts selling these things, it will inevitably cause a rebound from the officials of the Ministry of Works and even the court officials..." The emperor smashed his mouth and said helplessly.
"It would be great if there was a way to make the Ministry of Works not know..." Zhao Ji, who was standing beside him, couldn't help rolling his eyes and muttering in a low voice.
"Don't let the Ministry of Works know? Haha, the officials in the court are not fools. Once the military weapon surveillance begins to sell these things to the public, how could they not know?"
"Actually, there is no way to solve this problem." Wang Yang touched his chin, his eyes rolled around several times, and said something like this.
“How to solve it?”
"The military weapon surveillance does not need to show up, so let the merchants be the agent of the military weapon surveillance." Wang Yang stopped.
But this sentence made the emperor Zhao Xu's eyes lit up. He rubbed his fingers gently and then turned his head toward Zhao Ji. "I'm a little hungry, Shiyilang, hurry up and have someone to eat."
Zhao Ji nodded and agreed, quickly left the front hall, and went outside the door to instruct the people in the palace to buy fine wine and delicacies.
#####
At the dinner table, Emperor Zhao Xu asked in detail how Wang Yang was planning to use a businessman as an agent, and how to avoid making the Ministry of Works realize that he was being surveilled for business...
Wang Yang naturally gave a detailed explanation. Nowadays, the military weapon surveillance is an important department independent of the Ministry of Industry, so the Ministry of Industry naturally has no way to know the internal operation of the military weapon surveillance.
As long as you find a suitable merchant, give a certain price discount, sell it directly to the merchant, and then sell it to the market.
In this way, the military weapon supervisor can naturally easily leave it aside. After three or five years, even if the officials in the court found something, they would find it.
Well, the emperor Zhao Xu didn't think there could be anything. Anyway, it has become a fait accompli by then. What if the Ministry of Works is quarreling?
Anyway, the business done by the Ministry of Industry is like a loss-making business. If that is the case, it is better to let the military weapon supervisor do it. After getting the money, you can also invest in the research and development of new weapons. Why not use it?
In the end, Emperor Zhao Xu recognized Wang Yang's method, but when he left Duan Wang Mansion after drinking and eating, Emperor Zhao Xu stood on the steps, turned his head and nodded slightly at Wang Yang, lowered his voice and said, "I am very much looking forward to the birth of the weapon you mentioned that is far more powerful than the Yuanyou stone throwing machine..."
Seeing the emperor Zhao Xu boarding the low-key but luxurious carriage and heading towards the distance under the direct guards of the imperial troupes, Wang Yang took a deep breath and raised the corners of his mouth lightly.
"Sir, what about us, do we really want to do the carriage business?" Zhao Ji, who was standing next to Wang Yang, invited Wang Yang back to the front hall. The two continued to discuss the plan to make money that was interrupted by the emperor's appearance.
How much profit can a vehicle make? Zhao Ji really doesn't think that this kind of thing can make a lot of money. After all, even if the military weapon surveillance can be sold out, with those few springs, can it really be better and more popular than other workshops?
Wang Yang smiled, took a leisurely wine and took another sip before explaining. "In the past, my Song Dynasty horses were scarce, and there were almost no good horses on the market except for a small number of war horses. Therefore, things like horse carriages are naturally rare. Most of them are donkey carts and ox carts..."
"Although it is not as fast as a carriage, it is a good thing to transport. But now, our Song Dynasty already has a horse..."
"Now, the total number of war horses in our Song Dynasty has almost reached 150,000. Every year, the ranch on Shaanxi North Road alone can supply two or three thousand good horses that can become war horses."
"In addition to those good horses, there are also a large number of horses that have been eliminated. Although they cannot be used as war horses, they are not inappropriate for civil use. Haven't you said before that even your mansion has purchased more than ten horses for riding?"
"A royal noble like you is very common for about ten horses, and a noble family must be normal for three or five horses. Although young people feel heroic and cool, if they are older, they want to be quick, but they cannot stand the sun and wind..."
Wang Yang's explanation finally made Zhao Ji understand what was going on.
"What you mean is that we are taking this opportunity to set up a carriage workshop?"
"Yes, it's a carriage workshop. Our goal is to produce a carriage that is both noble and generous, and absolutely comfortable.
After production, it naturally needs to be sold, so it also requires a large shop, preferably outside the city, and there are open spaces to accommodate many carriages…”
"But if you want to produce such a carriage, many parts that are missing will fall on the civilian goods of the military weapon prison." Wang Yang narrowed his eyes and began to laugh.
"Since Your Majesty has agreed to my advice, the problem that was originally most worried has been solved. Next, what we have to do is to find a way to acquire several workshops for making vehicles."

Do it as he says, this is Wang Yang's style. Not many days after Wang Yang arrived in Tokyo Bianliang, a business giant with extremely rich business experience, had already handed over the business in his hands to his subordinates and rushed to the capital.
Looking at the hidden residence of His Majesty in the past, and now Wang Yang's residence, Wan Bin's eyes were filled with envy.
"Even if such a mansion is still in the hands of the royal family, there are probably not many more mansions. Moreover, this is the mansion that His Majesty was the king in the past, and he gave it to you. This meaning is really extraordinary, extraordinary..."
"Okay, I'm almost tired of hearing such flattery words these days. Since my brother has arrived in Bianliang, I happen to have a few things to talk about here with Brother Wan." Wang Yang did not talk nonsense to this guy, but went straight to the point.
He then prepared a large amount of civilian products for the general military equipment and then handed it over to the merchant to tell the other party about the news.
Wan Bin almost didn't think about it and made a decision immediately. "This is completely fine. What should I do if my brother is going to do it?"
"You can just leave it to Wanhong Trading Company to handle this matter." Wang Yang thought for a while and gave his own answer. "However, on the surface, it cannot be Wanhong Trading Company. I believe that brother should understand what I mean."
"...Oh, Brother Yu understands it, don't worry about this." Wan Bin just replied with a problem, and immediately felt relieved and smiled embarrassedly.
"In addition, I am also preparing a batch of funds to do business, and I want to ask all the shareholders what they mean?"
"How much investment is needed, what does Wan need to do? Brother, just give me instructions. There is no need to ask such questions at all." Wan Bin laughed and agreed without hesitation. "Believe me, the other shareholders will definitely not have any opinions."
