Chapter 1197 Build high walls, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly.

Wang Shanquan didn't expect Wang Yue to act so decisively, so he left overnight that night. He knew that this matter could not be resolved, and feared that the conflict with Wang Yue would affect his major affairs, so he endured the anger in his heart and quickly sent his confidants to chase in the direction of Qingzhou with the Liu family's land title deed.

I don't know what method he used, Wang Yue's big boat just returned to Langya, and he was busy to settle the people of Liu family, when Old Wang rushed over and brought news from Yangzhou.

After seeing Wang Yue, Father Wang frowned and asked, "Two days ago, the governor of Yangzhou sent someone to apologize and sent a lot of land deeds to compensate your Yue family's losses. What's going on?"

Wang Yue didn't expect Wang Shanquan to be so fast, so he told him what he had seen and heard in Yangzhou, and then frowned and said, "Father, looking at the situation, I'm afraid Yangzhou will rebel after the emperor dies."

Father Wang was drinking tea calmly. The incident in Yangzhou was nothing to him at all. He just felt that his son had changed a lot, so he couldn't help but come over and ask what was going on.
Of course, he was actually more worried that his son had met someone and was bewitched by someone.

The reason why he is so worried is because the world is a bit chaotic now, and many people who think they are strange people are out to hang out, and they all want to take refuge in a wise master and gamble for a lifetime of wealth. He is worried that Wang Yue will be fooled by others.

After he came, he met with Wang Ping and Wang An first, and after inquiring about the details, he found that no one else appeared in front of Wang Yue, so he was relieved.

Because of this, Father Wang leisurely wanted to test and teach his son, after all, he heard from his subordinates that his son has made great progress now.

It's just that even though he was mentally prepared, he still didn't expect that Wang Yue was so courageous that he didn't take the emperor seriously.

He glanced left and right, and then quickly reprimanded, "Don't talk nonsense! That's Your Majesty!"

Wang Yue curled his lips, and said disdainfully, "Who are you fooling? How many governors still listen to the emperor?"

Father Wang saw that Wang Yueyue's words were getting worse and worse, so he waved his hands and asked his personal guards to go out to guard. He asked with a serious face, "What are you going to do with the Gu family?"

Seeing his father asking this question, Wang Yue said indifferently, "It's just money. It's easy to earn as much as you want. You don't need to pay so much attention to it. In troubled times, it depends on strength, and strength needs population support."

Seeing how easy Wang Yue said, Father Wang said depressedly, "What you said is very easy. Our taxes in Qingzhou can only prevent Qingzhou from being easily attacked by others. If we want to have more troops to attack the city, we are not as unique as Yangzhou and Youzhou!"

Of course Wang Yue knew, because Youzhou had to defend itself against foreign enemies for a reason, so not only did it not have to pay taxes, but the state treasury also allocated a part of the money every year for the governor of Youzhou to train soldiers and horses.

The situation in Yangzhou is reversed, because it is the granary of Dayong, and the people are generally richer than other places, and it is easy to collect money to expand their power.

So Wang Yue sighed. He came a little late, so he said helplessly, "We are not as strong as Youzhou, and we don't have as much money as Yangzhou to recruit soldiers and horses. However, we can build high walls, accumulate food, and slowly become kings!"

When Wang Yue said this, his eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Who told you this sentence?"

Wang Yue curled his lips, and said disdainfully, "Of course I said it myself. For us, now is to guard our territory and watch them scramble for it. If we have the strength in the future, we will fight for the world. If we don't have the strength, we can just occupy Qingzhou."

Father Wang looked at Wang Yue deeply for a long time, and then asked his doubts, "Since you know everything, why did you marry the daughter of a merchant?"

Wang Yue couldn't say that this was a woman from his other world, so he could only foolishly said, "Firstly, I still like it, and secondly, because I married the merchant's daughter, everyone can feel at ease, and we have the opportunity to develop slowly."

Father Wang was silent for a long time, and he was really fooled by Wang Yue. He felt that what Wang Yuan said was very reasonable, so he decided not to hide it anymore. He said in a deep voice, "Come with me, it's time to let you know."

Seeing my father's serious look, Wang Yue felt that maybe he was hiding something.But it's right to think about it carefully. In this era, if you can become a governor without any strength, who can sit still.

With this curiosity, he obediently followed Father Wang out of the city on horseback, and arrived at the military camp outside Langya City. Only then did he discover that the number of people in the military camp here was twice the number announced to the public.

Father Wang took Wang Yue to meet several generals. In fact, he let the general know Wang Yue, and told these generals that Wang Yue had officially intervened in Qingzhou affairs.

After talking with the generals for a long time, they left the barracks together again, and then they didn't return, and rushed to the foot of Mount Tai.

Just when Wang Yue was a little suspicious, a few waves of people dressed as bandits rushed over, and those people paid respectful respect to Father Wang.

After Mr. Wang explained some things to these leaders, he let them get to know Wang Yue again, and then let them go back.

After the bandits left, Father Wang said with some seriousness, "Your Majesty's body has been in the past few years, so I have secretly expanded the army. Everything else is easy to say, only the military salary is more difficult. With the strength of our family, we can last until the end of this year at most. If we can no longer find the source of military expenses by then, I am afraid that half of the soldiers here will go back to farm. This may really become a bandit."

Only then did Wang Yue understand why Dad Wang asked him to go to Yangzhou. It turned out that Dad also wanted to gamble.

If the world is in chaos this year, we can take the opportunity to expand the territory. With new taxes, of course we can support so many soldiers and horses.

If the world is still peaceful, we can only make good friends with the Gu family and let the Gu family bring their business to Qingzhou. It would be even better if they could borrow some money.

That being the case, Wang Yue is also ready to take out a few things necessary for crossing. With these things, it will definitely be able to maintain the army's expenses.

So, he said to Dad Wang, "Dad, I need you to help me get all the craftsmen in Qingzhou, whether they are shipbuilders or blacksmiths and carpenters, I want me to be of great use."

Father Wang was about to point out Jiangshan at this moment, but Wang Yue unexpectedly made a big turn, which caught him off guard and almost made him slip away.

So, he said in a reprimanding tone, "What you should be thinking about now is how to compete in the Central Plains? Instead of thinking about these strange and obscene skills."

Wang Yue rolled his eyes, this is purely for nothing, so he said disdainfully, "Then don't ask for money, which line of money can leave the things you said?"

Hearing what Wang Yue said, Father Wang said suspiciously, "You don't want to sell something for money, do you? I can tell you that our huge military expenditure is a big hole, and not all businesses can use it."

Wang Yue didn't want to say more, so he said very seriously, "The Gu family regards money as very important. They don't even give it to the emperor if they want it. Do you think they will give it to us? So I am going to change the method. We don't want the money from the Gu family. We use the Gu family's business route to exchange money. I think they will sell this favor."

Seeing how confident Wang Yue said, Father Wang couldn't help thinking, "Does this kid have the support of any families?"

Thinking of this, he brought Wang Yue back to the city without asking any more questions, and then issued a notice to all the craftsmen in Qingzhou to come to Langya.

……

Wang Yue ran around with his father and waited until the next night before he had time to visit Liu's house.

After Mr. Liu came to Qingzhou, he found that the house here was quite big, so he was relieved a lot, and quickly asked the housekeeper to tidy up the new house.

When Wang Yue arrived, the whole family was busy, Liu Yuru and her mother were chatting in the backyard with their maids.

Seeing Wang Yue approaching, the two stood up quickly, and Liu Yuru asked anxiously, "A Yue, where have you been all day and all night? I asked Yin Hong to look for you several times, but I couldn't find you. Is there anything wrong?"

Of course Wang Yue knew what Liu Yuru was worried about, so he quickly said comfortingly, "Don't worry. My father has already rushed over, and my mother may be two days late. After she arrives, she will start arranging to marry you, which is three to five days."

After listening to Wang Yue's words of comfort, Liu Yuru said with a blushing face, "Why am I so anxious? Don't talk nonsense!"

Mrs. Liu was relieved when she heard Wang Yue said that there was no change in the marriage, and she wanted to get up and avoid it, so as not to disturb her conversation with Wang Yue and Liu Yuru.

Of course she knew it was against the rules, but thinking that Wang Yue was still very polite, she didn't care about the rules that bound people.

After Mrs. Liu left, Wang Yue took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Liu Yuru with a smile.

Liu Yuru thought that what Wang Yue wrote was ambiguous, so she shook her head shyly and said, "I don't want to read it! You wrote some nonsense again."

Wang Yue was very speechless, he only made a joke once, and Liu Yuru was terrified when he thought about it, so he could only calmly say, "I didn't think that after your Liu family came to Qingzhou, you would have nothing to do with you, so I found some formulas for dyeing cloth, so that your Liu family can grow and develop based on this formula, so I sent it to you specially."

Liu Yuru's eyes lit up when she heard Wang Yue's words. After reading it, she found that it was a complete set of craft recipes, so she said excitedly, "Ah Yue, where did you get this good stuff? It must have taken a lot of effort."

Seeing Liu Yuru's excited look, Wang Yue kindly reminded, "These are not important, you have an important issue to consider now."

Liu Yuru was studying the formula, although she didn't understand it very well, but seeing the detailed steps, she probably guessed it wasn't fake.

When she heard Wang Yue's reminder, she asked without raising her head, "What are you thinking about?"

Wang Yue saw that Liu Yuru hadn't thought of the crux of the problem at all, so he could only remind him helplessly, "Think about your father. When he was in Yangzhou, he didn't care about your mother with so little money. After he has more money this time, will he marry a new aunt? Also, does anyone in the Liu family listen to your mother?"

Hearing what Wang Yue said, Liu Yuru was not in the mood to look at the formula anymore, so she asked anxiously, "Everyone in the Liu family used to listen to Aunt Zhang, but no one listened to my mother except Yunyun. What do you think I should do?"

Wang Yue thought for a while, and then asked tentatively, "There is a saying that you may not like to hear. I wonder if your mother is willing to reconcile?"

Liu Yuru shook her head, and said helplessly, "I definitely don't want to now, unless one day I give birth to you... and one day I gain a firm foothold in Qingzhou, then she may consider her own affairs."

Seeing Liu Yuru's blushing expression, Wang Yue knew what Liu Yuru had left to say, so he said in a different way, "In this case, we might as well replace all the maids in the family nursing home, and replace them all with yours."

Liu Yuru froze for a moment, then asked with some doubts, "My people? Ayue, tell me the truth. You know, no one has ever cultivated this kind of stuff. My mother knows a little about poetry, poetry, and Fu. I don't have a place to learn about housekeeping and business."

Wang Yue smiled, and said encouragingly, "It's like this. Now that several nearby counties have been severely affected by the disaster, many people have been exiled to Qingzhou. You can buy a new batch of servants and take their deeds of sale. Don't they just listen to you? Besides, I think it's better to control the cloth dyeing workshop in your hands. As for the Liu family, they can only sell the cloth products you provide. If this is the case, your father will not dare to treat your mother badly."

Liu Yuru's eyes lit up when she heard Wang Yue's words. She felt that what Wang Yue said made sense, so she nodded quickly and agreed.

It's just that this plan still has to wait until the two get married, but the workshop can indeed be built first.

……

On the third day after Wang Yue returned to Qingzhou, Mrs. Wang rushed over from the Qingzhou prefecture, and she immediately started to talk about getting married.

As the only son of the governor of Qingzhou, the marriage was quite lively, and it also made the hearts of the whole Qingzhou settle down.

After all, after Wang Yue got married, it proved that Qingzhou's next generation had also grown up, and they were no longer afraid of any changes in Qingzhou.

The other governors, and even the royal family of Zhongzhou, were relieved that Wang Yue married the daughter of a small merchant and did not choose to marry the four big families.

For such a local boss who has no big thoughts, the other governors are all scrambling to win him over, and they have no intention of guarding against it.

The strategy of building high walls and accumulating grain that Wang Yue and Father Wang discussed can also be slowly realized.
