Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 351 On the Dock

Gongsun Sheng said: "If you want to restore the prosperity of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, you have to let the merchants of Korea go to Yanyun and build Yanyun! Over the years, the merchants of Korea have indeed saved a lot of money, and now they are worrying about where the money will go. The place is hua! It’s just that Yanyun sixteen prefectures have just been defeated, maybe the merchants in Korea are still a little worried about the environment there, so they may not dare to go there?”

Wu Dong nodded, and said: "You're right! I went there this time to stabilize the environment and restore the order there. e^Look-<>-After the environment there is stable, I will go to Yanyun Sixteen The state has launched a series of preferential policies to encourage businessmen to invest in Yanyun."

Although the Yanyun Sixteen States have been defeated now, they are not at all stable.The Khitan people there don't have enough trust in the Han people and in Liangshan, while the aristocratic families there are extremely hostile to Liangshan.Also, many people from the Jianghu have gone to Yanyun now, and those people from the Jianghu have also caused some hunluan in Yanyun.In addition, there are still some hooligans taking advantage of the regime change to commit crimes in Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and some even occupy the mountains as kings and howl in the mountains and forests like the bandits of the Song Dynasty.These are the factors that make Yanyun unstable. After Wu Dong arrives in Yanyun, he must clear them all up.

Standing on the pier, the two saw the autumn wind blowing and the boats moored on the pier swaying. They were both in a good mood.Although they all know that there are countless difficulties ahead, they don't take these difficulties into their hearts.The hundreds of thousands of troops of Goryeo and Liao were defeated by them, and the real woman can only defend now, so what is Yan Yun's small troubles?

"Governor, the emperor of Dongying has been recruiting samurai over the years. Countless farmers have come out of the fields and become samurai. Now the farmers in Dongying are funv or old and weak. The number of their samurai has reached more than 30 Wan, I'm afraid these warriors will harm us." Gongsun Sheng said again.

In addition to being in charge of business and trade, he is also responsible for the affairs of Dongying Kyushu Island. In addition, the intelligence of Dongying Island is also reported to him. It can be said that he is now equivalent to the governor of Dongying.

"As long as our navy guards the passage between the main island and Kyushu Island, it is impossible for them to come over. Even if they have hundreds of thousands of warriors, the threat to us is very limited! After the mainland war is over, I will take action to clean up slowly. They." Wu Dong sneered.

"Commander, I have an idea, but I don't know if I should implement it or not." Gongsun Sheng said after hesitating for a moment.

"Say!" Wu Dong said.

"Governor, according to the information we have obtained, although the number of Dongying warriors has increased several times in a short period of time, Dongying's ironmaking technology is extremely poor, and they don't have enough weapons at all! In the past two years, many hoes for digging the ground have been destroyed. They remelted and remade katana swords, and even many iron tools in the Emperor's Palace in Dongying were smelted into katana swords. Even so, the number of their weapons still cannot meet the demand. Our weapons in Liaodong and Koryo are being updated. Sell ​​these weapons to the Dongying people." Gongsun Sheng said.

Wu Dong was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Gongsun Sheng would say such words, wouldn't this increase the strength of the Dongying people?

"What else do you want to say? Keep talking!" Wu Dong said.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief. The Dongying people are fully armed and because countless farmers have turned into samurai, so the number of them farming is far from enough, and the annual grain production cannot meet the needs of the people of Dongying. The emperor and nobles of Dongying want to recruit Military expenditures are constantly squeezing farmers. Now their farmers’ tax rate has exceeded [-]%, [-]% of which will be donated to the emperor every year, so that the emperor can train the army, and [-]% of the remaining [-]% will be given to the landlords. Obtaining [-]% of the grain in the field, such a cruel squeeze, if it was placed in the Song Dynasty, I am afraid that the world would have been ruined! But the Dongying people pay attention to the word "forbearance", and the endurance of their people far exceeds that of our Han people. In [-], countless people died of starvation, but there was no uprising in Dongying. It is unbelievable! I think so, we can sell surplus and obsolete weapons to Dongying people, but they are only allowed to exchange food for weapons The patience of their citizens should have reached the limit, if we put a little more pressure on them, then we don't need to attack Dongpu, I am afraid Dongpu will become luan on its own." Gongsun Sheng said.

"This matter may not be feasible." Wu Dong shook his head lightly.

He came from a later age, so he naturally knew that the endurance of the Dongying people was extraordinary, far surpassing that of the Han people.No matter how oppressed the Dongying people are, they will not resist their superiors.Even if the superior takes away the subordinate's wife and cooks the subordinate's child for food, the subordinate will only bow his head and obey orders, and still raise his head in a respectful attitude.This is not so much endurance as it is slavishness to the strong. This kind of servility has been deeply imprinted in the bones of their citizens and cannot be changed at all.Therefore, he thought that Gongsun Sheng's idea might not be useful.At that time, even if half of the Dongying people starve to death, I am afraid that the other half will be absolutely obedient to the emperor and nobles, and it is impossible for Dongying to become angry because of this.

"Great Governor, even if Dongying doesn't have a big luan, it is good for us to obtain food. The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun now need a huge amount of food. We transport countless people from the south of the Yangtze River every year, and those who need food. And those who are eliminated Weapons are no longer useful to us, at most they are reworked into agricultural tools. Even if these weapons are sold to Japanese people, they pose a limited threat to us. Our new weapons far exceed those obsolete weapons, especially the firearms we are developing. Large-scale attack weapons. When we attack Japan in an all-round way, we still have an overwhelming advantage in weapons and can still easily defeat them. Moreover, our army is an army that has experienced life and death in the continental war, and it is definitely not their samurai Can match." Gongsun Sheng said.

"I agree to this matter for the time being! You report this matter to Hua Rong and Li Gang, and if they agree, then do as you say!" Wu Dong pondered for a long time before opening his mouth.

Wu Dong and Gongsun Sheng were discussing the affairs of Dongying. They were in the cabin of a small boat by the pier, and there were more than ten people crowded there at the moment.

These ten or so people were all powerful, and they were all dressed in the clothes of ordinary dock workers, but whenever they looked in the direction of Wu Dong and Gongsun Sheng, their eyes were full of fierce light.

"General, this is a good opportunity!" A man in gray said.

"That's right, I've been in Koryo for so many days, and I finally found a good opportunity. I'm really suffocating!" said an unusually tall man with a bearded face.

"Are we going to rush out now?" said the man in gray next to him.

"Don't worry, they're coming this way! Fuck, there are only two of us, if we meet Grandpa and me, we're courting death!" The bearded man had a ferocious smile on his face.

He came under the order of his eldest brother, and first sneaked into Kaijing City, but although he had seen Wu Dong in Kaijing City, every time Wu Dong was surrounded by countless guards, he couldn't do anything!Wu Dong often meets young people, but it is impossible for them to mingle with those young people!Those young people are absolutely loyal to Wu Dong, and they are familiar with each other, once they break in, they will be discovered immediately!Later, they had no choice but to come outside Kaijing City, wanting to find opportunities outside the city!In the past, they hid on this small boat, but they didn't expect Wu Dong and Gongsun Sheng to appear on the pier today.

He has already picked up the two giant axes, and the person next to him has already clenched the knife in his hand!

Wu Dong and Gongsun Sheng are heading in this direction, and they are still discussing political affairs.

"Governor, although the grain harvest has been bumper in recent years, the country still needs a lot of grain. I think merchants can be encouraged to transport grain from Song Dynasty to Liangshan! All grain can be exempted from tax. If there is enough grain shipped, they can operate Other goods can be exempted from tax!" Gongsun Sheng said.

"It's reasonable. This is also a way to strengthen our weakening of the Song Dynasty. You can discuss the specific implementation method with Li Gang." Wu Dong said.

"Great governor, we are now trading tea and horses with the menggu. In fact, we can also encourage ordinary businessmen to do business with the meng! It's just that the content of the transaction cannot have weapons, it is better to be some silk and some luxury goods! In this way If the silk and luxury goods are used too much, the ambition of the Menggu people will also be worn down." Gongsun Sheng said.

"There is some truth to this." Wu Dong laughed.

During the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Menggu people were subjugated by the nv real people. After that, the Menggu people got worse and worse, and they no longer had strong fighting power.One of the most important reasons is that after the Manchus conquered the world, the Menggu people also became nobles, and the life of the Menggu people became luxurious, and the luxurious life made them more and more corrupt and less effective.Now if a large amount of luxury goods are imported into the Menggu grassland and the leaders of the Menggu grassland slowly degenerate, it may also affect the fighting power of the Menggu people.In the era of cold weapons, it is impossible for neighboring nations to coexist peacefully unless one side is conquered by the other. For Wu Dong, the ancient mengs are also potential enemies, and it would be best if they could be weakened.

"We already have Dengzhou Customs, Incheon Customs, and Jiuzhou Customs. I think Yanyun should also have a customs." Gongsun Sheng said again.

"We can build a new customs next to Jizhou." Wu Dong said.

The two were talking, and the dock workers on the boat in the distance had already landed one after another, and they were heading towards Wu Dong and Gongsun Sheng.Seeing that there were tens of meters away from the two of them, the guard behind them had already run over and stopped them.

"What do you guys do?" a Shi Wei asked.

"Let's move things over there." A dock worker said with a smile.

The dock workers in front were talking, and the guards had just relaxed a little bit, but the dock workers behind had already ran frantically in the direction of Wu Dong and Gongsun Sheng.To watch the first release without advertisement, please go to -<>-
