Cry for Song

Chapter 139 Get Pricing Power

Li Liangzuo, the emperor of Xixia, who seems to be extremely noble to outsiders, actually put down his noble identity and went to the tower to find the king in person. At this moment, he unexpectedly wanted to recognize the king as his brother. Is he really just childish? Wang couldn't help standing in the perspective of an elder and carefully looking at the fifteen or sixteen years old in front of him. Li Liangzuo,

Li Liangzuo was not kidding at all. His expression was very sincere. He ascended the throne at the age of 12 and calmed the civil strife at the age of 14. He did not know what governance was. What forced him to do this was just to live. The scene he just saw on the street really touched his heart a little. He looked up to the sky and sighed for a moment from Weizhou City. , I want to have a kind of protection from the king in my heart, which is naturally something that the king doesn't know,

The king pondered for a moment. If he promised Li Liangzuo, it means that no matter what happened to Xixia in the future, he should at least consider it from the perspective of keeping this brother. The promise is a great responsibility. The pressure he felt from Li Liangzuo's expectant eyes is different from the pressure of the royal order,

Li Liangzuo saw that the king hesitated. He took the king to the tower and pointed to the vast land in front of him, the magnificent Xingqing Mansion and the Helan Pass in the west and said, "Brother, look, my father left me not only this land and palace, but also to me thousands of people. I regret this time. I want to be a horn. If it is so powerful, the people will live a rich life, and the country will not be afraid of being invaded.

This time, Wang was moved by Li Liangzuo. He looked at the powerful teenager and patted him: "Okay, as long as you love the people and sincerely for the prosperity of the country and the strength of the people, I will recognize you as a brother, but there is something to say first. This is just a private matter between you and me."

Li Liangzuo was overjoyed when he heard this. He bowed and thanked Wang: "Brother, now you can tell me whether I agree or not to the conditions of the State of Song."

Wang's mouth was really sweet when he listened to his brother's words. Li Liangzuo had never been so affectionate to Li Xili. In a few words, he turned the topic to the right place. It can be seen that he did use his heart. Wang's words said sincerely: "You can agree to the conditions of the State of Song, and the conditions are not harsh, not to mention that the business with the State of Song is only right. Your country's exports are favorable, and this can drive other industries with income.

Li Liangzuo listened to the cloud fog. What Wang said about this, export and industry, but he seemed to understand a little, but he still felt that there was a question somewhere. He couldn't help asking, "Then if the consultation is opened, it can ensure that my Xixia goods can be sold well in the Song Dynasty. You are like now. I don't know what these officials are doing. No matter how cheap it is, it can't be sold.

Wang looked at Li Liangzuo's young face, but he couldn't be frivolous in front of him. He thought that now the State of Song is now controlled by the price war with Xixia, but the price war can only play the role of occupying the market for a certain period of time. To be fair, the salt transportation of the State of Song is very inconvenient, and the quality is not as good as that of Xixia. Salt is good. At present, it can only be the space to control smuggling. Once the price war is opened, it is beneficial and harmless to the State of Song,

Wang Pian thought of this and patted Li Liangzuo on the shoulder: "If I let you sell salt without reducing the price, would you like to listen to me?"

As soon as Li Liangzuo's eyes lit up, he knew that Wang could have this ability: "Okay, you say."

Wang took a deep breath: "I want you to set the pricing power of materials in the future, not only salt, but also horse herbs and so on." After saying that, he looked at the vast world outside the tower with his hands behind his back, counting the countdown in his heart, waiting for Li Liangzuo's decision,

Li Liangzuo doesn't understand what pricing power is, but he understands the literal meaning. Isn't it that Wang said that he should be sold at any price? If he is talking about this now, he is talking about his brother Wang, who has just bowed, rather than the envoy of the State of Song, who will discuss with him, then he is willing to worship his brother. With his trust, he decided to take a look and then asked, "Is this my brother's decision, or Song Shi's decision?"

There is a play~ Even the king was moved by himself. Is this pricing power in his own hands or in the hands of the State of Song? Seeing that Li Liangzuo asked so, he turned around and looked at Li Liangzuo with a smile: "Are you now my brother Li Liangzuo, or Li Liangzuo, the emperor of Xixia?"

Li Liangzuo stretched out his palm to give a high-five to the king and said, "I have a deal with my brother as the emperor of Xixia."

The king shook his head, which was useless. If he was the emperor of the Western Xia, he still had no joke. Isn't it like a child's house now?

Li Liangzuo raised his hand and couldn't let it go. He touched his face awkwardly and said, "You Han people don't say it. Do your brothers settle accounts clearly? Since my brother is worried, I will write it in my edict and let my descendants do the same."

Wang knew that Li Liangzuo had made up his mind. The edict was a royal event and could not be violated without authorization. He turned to say, "Since you have this decision, you can't let you listen to me for nothing. I want to set up a salt collection farm and a medicine yard in your Xixia. You just need to follow my guidance on the price of salt in Xixia."

Li Liangzuo was sure that Wang Bian would not lose Xixia. At present, he had no choice but to fill the treasury. He didn't say anything and just extended a high-five again. Wang Bian knew that the ancients believed in one word and nine tripods. Now he didn't need to set up any words and phrases now. Anyway, those things would fall behind if he had a future, as long as he was in Xixia. It can operate smoothly and control the official salt and medicinal herbs. He has his own way to sit firm, so he stretched out his hand with a smile. The two of them gave a crisp high-five, but there was a big thing in the king's heart,

It seems simple to say this, but it is not so easy to operate. It will take three or two months to build this foundation. Fortunately, there are already suitable candidates in Wang's heart. He Xingyuan's four apprentices: the eldest apprentice Qian Yixia; the second apprentice Baisha; the third apprentice Sun Mo; the fourth apprentice Zhang Tugui, before coming to Xixia. After the exchange and his contact in Xixia during this period, Wang felt that these four people were all available,

Li Liangzuo is also happy in his heart. He seems to have more trust in the king than his court officials. Now what he trusts most in the court is Manma and his son. In terms of loyalty, it is a pity that the old general does not understand the economy,

Li Liangzuo smiled and thought that one day he could compete with Song Liao. He was satisfied with this trip. Thinking of this battle, he couldn't help asking, "Brother, can you tell me why the corner warriors are so powerful? I still need to know where I am defeated."

Wang also felt that it was better not to talk about things anymore, so he told Li Liangzuo about how Jiao Sui Luo was independent and how to maintain domestic stability and slowly develop with Song Tongshang. Li Liangzuo listened carefully with big eyes until the sunset outside the tower.

Man often raised his head under the tower all afternoon and looked at Li Liangzuo and Wang on the tower from time to time. Although he could not hear the dialogue clearly, he saw that the two of them pulled and talked quietly for a while, and his heart also followed up and down. Finally, he saw the two of them get off the tower, and the heart that was always hanging was relieved.

On this day, Li Liangzuo returned to the palace under the protection of Manchang, and immediately ordered Ji Lalei's home and arrest Ji Laqing. Ji Laqing knew yesterday that his father's head was gone. The boy rolled up gold and silver and ran away. Queen Liang Luoyao was guilty. In addition to complaining more about her brother Liang Yi, she did not dare to provoke Li Liang. Don't be fast,

As Wang Bian expected, in less than three days, Li Liangzuo signed the trade clause proposed by the State of Song and ordered Xiazhou. The two state governments of Huizhou to cooperate with the establishment of Song's field. Wang's side handled this matter smoothly. Liangzuo held a banquet again and ordered 2,000 horses to pay tribute to the State of Song.

When Wang heard so many things, his task was completed, but he could not take the horse team back to Bianjing. He hurriedly sent a quick letter to Renzong. It was not a small matter to take 2,000 horses back to the State of Song. Renzong was overjoyed when he received the fast confidence and ordered Yanzhou to pick up the horses, and the herdsmen's department was responsible for assigning the state horse farms to cooperate.

This good news immediately caused a sensation in the court of the State of Song. The officials talked about it one after another. Lord Bao moved and said, "Haha, it seems that Lord Sima has a vision. Sure enough, it is not as easy as Xixia to trade."

Sima Guang didn't say a word. Anyway, what he said was not wrong. Some officials who intended to please Bao Zheng said, "Lord Sima proposed it, and it's also Wang Shilang's high ability to do things." With that, he raised his big finger to Bao Zheng and Wang Anshi,

Wang Anshi was modest. He remembered that at that time, Xixia sent troops to the horns, and the king was in a dangerous situation. He hurriedly said, "No, it's still the emperor's sage. If you rashly send troops to help the horns, I'm afraid that not only the king's side and even the border will not be peaceful."

His words were to praise Renzong, and everyone was in line with the emperor's sage. Renzong was comfortable and happy to sit high in the Jinluan Hall, but the more Zhao Shu, the prince of His Highness stood, the more unpleasant it was. The idea of sending troops to attack Xixia was made by himself. At that time, if he could not prepare to take a few more pieces of land, the more unconvinced he was, the more angry he became. He made another great contribution next to the king. If it hadn't been for the hall, he would have been unable to bear it. Maybe he would have smashed many tables and chairs again.

Seeing that the emperor and the Manchu Dynasty were jubilant, and some of the king could return to the capital in another ten and a half days, Zhao Shu felt that such a prince was not as good as a four-grade servant in the eyes of the emperor and the ministers.

After retreating from the court, Zhao Shu was listless and returned to the house with a depressed look. He hid in the ancestral temple alone and sighed with the spiritual position of his biological father. How long will he stay until he can ascend the throne of the emperor? Even if he ascends the throne, how can he suppress the powerful king?

No, you absolutely can't let the king stay in the court. You must take him away from afar. Zhao Shu made up his mind. After two days, the opportunity to leave the king finally came. Zhao Shu's confidants brought secret news. Yelu Chongyuan, the emperor of Yelu Hongji, the king of the State of Liao, was recruiting troops in private, suspected of usurping the throne.

Zhao Shu's heart moved when he heard this. It was about to be the birthday of Yelu Hongji's mother Xiao Tari. In the past, it was Fubi's envoy, but now Fubi is not in the court. It's better to take this opportunity to promote the king's side and ask the emperor to give him a mission to Liao. Zhao Shu doesn't believe that the king's life is so hard.
