Before returning to Beijing, Wang Ning'an was still hesitating about what he would do next. Zhao Zongjing was going to be a military force, and he was also worried about his father. Besides, Lingnan is a treasure land and there are too many things that are urgently needed.

The Liao Kingdom embarked on the road of agricultural commercialization and its efficiency would be greatly improved. With milk powder and meat floss, they would not have to worry about military rations and could launch long-distance raids, which should not be underestimated.

If the Song Dynasty, or more accurately, was Pingxian, changed slowly and fell behind the Liao Kingdom, it might have backfired and destroyed the Song Dynasty ahead of schedule!

Wang Ning'an is under a lot of pressure. He urgently needs to go to Lingnan to solve at least three problems: labor, grain, and copper mine!

As long as these three are in place, he will be sure to completely get rid of the Liao Kingdom.

Compared to financial management, Wang Ning'an attaches more importance to creating wealth. He issued a military order to Zhao Zhen, and this trip would definitely help the emperor get 5 million chunks of income, and to inspect the copper mines and find ways to solve the money shortage.

Zhao Zhen hesitated for a while before he agreed to let Wang Ning'an go to Lingnan.

Since he was exiled to the army, the unlucky guy Zhao Zongjing could only follow the large group of troops to travel south by land, escorting a batch of military weapons to operate towards Lingnan.

As for Wang Ning'an, it didn't take that much effort. He was going south from Pingxian, taking a boat quickly and easily, and he could also take a look at Pingxian.

"If I want to say that I am a parent, I am not responsible enough. After walking for several months, I don't know how the land is like on acre of three cents? Is it because weeds are everywhere and messy? If that happens, I will have no shame to go south."

Wang Ning'an lay on Yang Xi's plump thighs and said lazily.

Yang Xi grabbed a grape and stuffed it into Wang Ning'an's mouth. Since he went to Liao Kingdom, the couple have become more and more intimate. Except for the last level, they cannot break through. Yang Xi is increasingly indulging Wang Ning'an and spoiled him to heaven.

The carriage was still moving forward, and the little girl smiled and said, "I heard from Sister Su that you are worried about it too much. Pingxian is fine!"

"really?"

"That's not, Sister Su's younger brother wrote to him, saying that there are so many capable people in Pingxian County, and everyone can take charge of each other, so how can you worry about it!"

Wang Ning'an blinked his eyes, agreed, but his heart was a little upset, just because he was afraid that there were too many capable people and not obeying the command, that would be a bad thing.

With a nervous mood, I returned to Ping County.

As soon as he entered Pingxian, Yang Xi was shocked and couldn't help but stand on the shaft of the car, looking out from a distance with Pinggao, and couldn't help but say, "It's so spectacular!"

Wang Ning'an climbed out of the carriage and looked over.

Sure enough, the road was covered with flat fields, and there was no sight at all.

It is divided into blocks of the same size, with an irrigation canal in the middle of the field, and every other section, there is a water well.

These projects were driven out by Liu Yi, and the people were driven out. Hebei was full of disasters and the Yellow River was flooded. Digging ditches could not only irrigate, but also drain floods and prevent salinization.

The farmland is full of sorghum and soybeans. Although Wang Ning'an gave the recipe for brewing wine to the Liao Kingdom, he was still far from brewing good wine in a moment!

Cangzhou's soju is still the best in the world. It is not only sold well in Song and Liao, but also sold to Goryeo and Japan through the Maritime Bureau, bringing generous returns. According to the Brewers Chamber of Commerce's estimates, there are at least 1 million business opportunities every year.

As for soybeans, it mainly involves oil extraction. In just a few years, soybean oil has become popular north of the Yellow River. Although the oil yield rate of soybeans is not high, the yield per mu is very high, which is enough to make up for the shortcomings. Moreover, with the development of the breeding industry, bean cakes have become the best feed.

The first batch of ponies on the horse farm have gradually matured and entered the army. More and more war horses will be bred later, and pastoral supervisors from other places have also learned the experience of Wild Wolf Valley. It is estimated that in the next ten years, 200,000 horses will be added north of the Yellow River, and 5 million chunks of forage will be needed every year.

What a big market this is!

Only driven by huge economic interests can we be willing to give up our books.

Pingxian is full of prosperity, agriculture is like this, and industry and commerce is even more so. It is enough to accommodate the roads passing by 12 horses side by side, and there are endless streams of flowing. Some transport raw materials to Pingxian and some transport goods from Pingxian.

The carriage shuttled through, never stopping.

Not to mention anything else, every two miles, two cleaners who clean the horse manure on the road would be arranged, and they could pile up into a hill in one day.

The busyness is simply more than that of the capital.

Even at night, I was still busy, and there was a night shift in Pingxian!

Night shift!

Is it outrageous?

Bianjing is also at most nightlife, and only those who work night shifts are special industries, but Pingxian and factory workshops are constantly stopping day and night.

Almost everyone is like hardworking worker bees, and they don’t have time to rest.

When Yang Xi saw these scenes, she was stunned, but she was stunned. It was countless times more prosperous than when she left!

This city changes almost every day, it’s all due to my husband’s credit. He is so awesome!

Yang Xi had a red face and actually kissed Wang Ning'an on his own initiative. Although it was a long time to kiss, the little girl turned around and ran away like a frightened little rabbit. In the carriage behind, Su Baniang snuggled beside her mother Cheng, constantly pointing and introducing everything in front of her.

Before going to Liao Kingdom, Wang Ning'an arranged personnel to take the Cheng family from Sichuan to the capital.

Originally, Cheng was still thinking about witnessing the child's marriage, and he was very happy, but when he arrived in the capital, he realized that Cheng Zhicai was such a bastard, and the two families had already had a rupture.

Cheng was both ashamed and angry, and almost fell ill. Su Baniang happened to come back, and the mother and daughter cried bitterly. Su Baniang traveled a long way and her mind became much more open.

"Mom, just take this as it doesn't matter. My brothers have been in Liuyi Academy for so long and miss you, so go to school to see them."

Cheng sighed for a long time, what else can he do? This is fate!

The mother and daughter walked along the way, and the Cheng family was also shocked by the prosperity of Ping County. My God, the capital is lively enough, why is Ping County even more lively than the capital!

"I always listened to the opera saying that the sage is a clever person in Cangzhou. I thought this place might not be poor, mountains and rivers, but I didn't know it was a paradise! It turns out that the sage is a clever person in Cangzhou, and I'm here to enjoy my happiness."

Cheng said in surprise, and Su Baniang chuckled, "Mom, there is no place in this world that only enjoys happiness and does not do things. Pingxian is busier than the capital because there are buying and selling here. People not only consume goods, but also have to make goods themselves and sell them to all places. Take the candles and soap from Pingxian for example. Even the Liao Kingdom is used. Pingxian also has wood, jewelry, winemaking, sugar squeezing, whaling, shipbuilding, and armed forces...all of which can support many ordinary people. Pingxian is different from other places. It has no resource advantages and can only work with both hands. Although it is not easy to make money, every copper plate comes with peace of mind and righteousness."

I don’t know what’s going on, but whenever I mention Pingxian, Su Baniang is full of energy and roaming. She is as sharp as Cheng’s family, and she can also hear some clues. However, her daughter finally came out of the blow of Cheng Zhicai, and she, a mother-in-law, cannot talk casually.

...

Finally, the carriage arrived in Ping County, and Wang Ning'an returned to the county government office that he had been away from for a long time. Unexpectedly, without him, the owner, he was still brightly lit and lively.

Wang Ning'an walked in and found that Zeng Gong took the initiative to greet him.

"It turns out that the Lord of the Tang is back, and the lower official met the Lord of the Tang is old."

"Wait a minute." Wang Ning'an was stunned, "I said Brother Zeng, why are you kidding me? What do you mean by Tang Zun!"

Zeng Gong smiled, "Sir, don't know yet. I am the county magistrate of Ping County now, your subordinate."

Wang Ning'an was shocked, "Be good, what are you doing?"

Zeng Gong didn't care about his surprise and pulled Wang Ning'an in. He was even more shocked when he got inside. In the middle were Fan Zhongyan and Yan Shu, and Su Song, Han Wei, Wang Anguo, Liu Yi and others were next to him.

With Wang Ning'an, this is not the Pingxian County Government, it is clearly the meeting of the Six Arts School.

"Grandpa Fan and Grandpa Yan, where did you get the skills? You don't teach anymore? Why have you all gone to the county government office?"

Fan Zhongyan said calmly: "It won't be done if we don't come. A century-old plan will lead to an irresponsible magistrate. If we don't work harder, we won't be in chaos in the world!"

Yan Shu laughed and said, "Erlang, this is the case. The peace talks between the Song and Liao dynasties have been successful. Pingxian is the window for the trade between the Song and Liao dynasties. These days, merchants from all over the country have been running here. You have lent out millions of chunks and built various workshops. I heard that you have tens of millions of orders, and all workshops are busy expanding production capacity and recruiting workers everywhere. Pingxian has become a large construction site. Seeing that you are not back and Zigu is mature in his work, we can only recommend him to be the county magistrate and handle some daily affairs first."

Zeng Gong also said: "The Lord of the Tang Dynasty, the lower official is confused and has many things, but he has no experience. He can only invite a few seniors to come and take charge and make an idea for me. Sir, you won't blame me, right?"

"Blame? I can't hope!"

Wang Ning'an smiled, "I just said, "If you want to have fun and make things happen for the rest of your life, it would be better for several seniors to use their remaining energy."

Fan Zhongyan said calmly: "The Quochang is located thirty miles north of Ping County. The straight road connecting the Quochang, Ping County, and Cangzhou has started. I borrowed 50,000 troops from the Prison City Camp. In addition, Ping County has more and more people and workshops are getting bigger and bigger. Just one city is no longer useful. We decided to find suitable land to build three cities in a 50-mile radius south of Ping County. As for the cost, I will borrow it from the money house. What do you think?"

"That's great, it coincides with me!"

Wang Ning'an was overjoyed, and Fan Zhongyan's arrangement was really good.

In fact, I really can't underestimate the ancients. Lao Fan's ability is beyond doubt. He cannot push the Qingli New Policy, and the mistake is not at all. It is really too easy for a great talent who can govern a country to govern a small Pingxian County.

What's more, Wang Ning'an had already set up a stall before, so they just need to take pictures of the cat and draw the tiger.

Wang Ning'an discussed with everyone for a long time and found that Pingxian was ready to trade with Liao. In terms of hardware, the city scale was enough, and the market was established, software, trade norms, chambers of commerce, money houses, translation, accounting, and everything was ready.

"Erlang, there are only two problems now. One is large-scale employment. The labor cost in Ping County has increased rapidly, and many businessmen can't bear it. The other is that the population is too large and the grain is rising rapidly. The canal transportation can only maintain the capital city. Ping County has hundreds of thousands of mouths and a stable supply of grain must be provided."

Lao Fan mentioned these two problems, and others nodded frequently.

In fact, both of them are talking about a trouble, that is, the increase in labor costs, which is the necessity of economic development. Many countries have to face this level. The most common method is to take the path of sweatshops, squeeze workers, or even child labor, and complete the initial bloody accumulation... Pingxian is no exception, but Wang Ning'an has a better choice.
