Chapter 248 The man should be ruthless

After receiving a new appointment, no one was relaxed from Di Qing. Apart from the silly Zhao Zongjing, this little prince fell in love with seafood. He ate lobsters and crabs every day, including bird's nest and shark fins. He not only ate them by himself, but also packed them home, saying that he was to nourish his wife's body.

Seeing his prodigal behavior, Wang Ning'an was too lazy to scold him.

Do you know that it is a 600-mile rush. How much energy it will be to run a trip? Is the little things you bring worth the money for people and horses?

Emperor Xuanzong of Tang favored Concubine Yang, and the concubine laughed while riding on the world. No one knew that it was lychee. It has become a joke for all ages. Do you want to learn from Li Longji?

Wang Ning'an scolded him for a long time, and Zhao Zongjing suddenly woke up like a dream, "Yes, I should give some things to the official family."

After saying that, this guy patted his butt and got out.

Wang Ning'an looked at his back and smiled bitterly, not knowing whether he was really stupid or fake, but he actually knew to curry favor with Zhao Zhen. He also looked like a scheming bitch, absolutely!

Wang Ning'an envied Zhao Zongjing and wanted to learn from this person, but in the eyes of a bunch of people, he was not a pig or a tiger, but a monkey who went to heaven and earth, an omnipotent panacea!

His Majesty entrusted Lingnan to Di Qing. Di Qing knew that he was worth it and he was fine in war, but when he encountered administration, people's livelihood, personnel... he was completely disgraceful and could only rely on Wang Ning'an.

Yu Jing is a good at managing the local area, but the situation in Lingnan is too complicated and he can't come up with a solution for the moment, so he still has to ask Wang Ning'an's opinion.

"After the war, the people's livelihood in Lingnan was in decline and the people were in trouble. In the few months of Nong Zhigao's rebellion, more than 300,000 people died and millions were displaced. In addition, in order to raise military expenses, Nong Zhigao looted hundreds of thousands of people and helped him find gold. In total, there were more than one million people, and they had to be properly resettled. What's so bad is that one-third of the officials in various places were killed by Nong Zhigao, and the remaining two-thirds were many of the officials in question. According to the court's intention, it was necessary to clean up from beginning to end, and we are not ready to take the risk of promoting it now."

Yu Jing concluded: "There are a lot of problems, but there is no one. I am a good wife and I can't cook without rice. How about it, Erlang, you have an idea?"

Everyone looked at Wang Ning'an, eagerly looking forward to him, as if he regarded him as a savior. Even Su Xun said: "Ping County has developed so well. Can you learn from Ping County and develop Guangzhou too? As an official, I will benefit the people!"

Wang Ning'an smiled bitterly, "I said Lao Quangong, you must be realistic in everything. In Lingnan, you want to learn from Pingxian County, and you have no hope at all."

At that time, Ping County had a large population and a small land area, and was also between the Song and Liao dynasties. It also had convenience at sea. Not developing industry and commerce was a waste of a god-given opportunity.

But Guangzhou is not reliable except for the sea-to-sea, and is far from the main market in the north and has a small population. Although the Pearl River Basin is very developed, it is still far from the north. In fact, Guangzhou has truly become a trade center, and it will only move to the south after the transition to the south.

Of course, Guangzhou has a Maritime Trade Department, and re-export trade is very prosperous, but it is still too far from forcing the people to give up their fields and go to factories to work.

"In my opinion, Lingnan should have a correct positioning. As long as the location is found, there is no need to worry about not being able to develop."

"How to locate it?" Di Qing said curiously.

"It's very simple, it's the raw material base and the transfer center in Ping'an." Wang Ning'an said with a smile: "Lingnan, especially the area in the estuary of the Pearl River, has fertile land, and rice can reach two or even three ripes a year, and the local population is far less dense than the north. We develop military farms in the Pearl River, and it takes less than one or two years to provide millions of stones of grain. With these grains, Pingxian's industry and commerce can completely get rid of the shackles and develop rapidly."

"In addition, it is not cost-effective to squeeze sugar by sweet sorghum. I am already planning to promote soybean cultivation in the north. After all, more and more horses are raised, and more soybean oil is needed. Soybeans have an advantage over sweet sorghum. In this way, we can move the sugar lagoon to Lingnan and grow sugarcane in Lingnan."

Sugar cane cane must be used to squeeze sugar in freshness, otherwise the sugar cane will kill people if it deteriorates.

Therefore, the Tangliao must be located near the sugarcane field, first squeeze out the juice, and then within half a day, it must be sent to the Tangliao to boil it and make brown sugar and white sugar.

Obviously, the advantage of squeezing sugar in Lingnan is too great compared to the north. It is funny to say that Pingxian has only developed for a few years and has begun to upgrade its industries. The first industry to be eliminated is squeezing sugar.

Yu Jing and Su Xun both knew how much profit it was to make sugar. This alone would not be a problem to support millions of people.

Wang Ning'an is indeed reliable. He just wants to farm and farm, but he doesn't have red mouths and white teeth. Just talk about it.

"Erlang, do you think this military farming is handled by merchants or by government officials?"

"Not even possible!"

Wang Ning'an thought for a while and shook his head, "The war in Lingnan has just ended. So many people have died. Merchants are all seeking profits. The place is unstable, so they have no courage to invest. As for the government, Wuxi Gong also knows that the officials in Lingnan are rotten, and they can only force the people to rebel, in order to cause trouble."

Yu Jing said in a muffled voice: "I also know that the two evils are the least, and no one can control them. The people themselves cannot do a good job of farming."

Wang Ning'an smiled, "How come there is no one? Dasang Di, are you willing to send some people?"

Di Qing was stunned, "I have all the big-headed soldiers under me, so how can I manage people?"

"Hahaha, Marshal Di, you are so arrogant. Many of the soldiers are the top ones. Ten generals can manage a hundred and ten people and work together to fight hard. How can you not manage a farmland well?"

Di Qing took a breath, "Is this possible?"

"Come or not, please ask your brothers! I think some people should be willing to stay in Lingnan, and didn't Sun Mian arrest hundreds of people?"

Di Qing was even more surprised, "Although there are many of them who have been wronged, some of them have indeed committed crimes!"

"That's best, just be exiled to Lingnan, so as not to take it back."

Wang Ning laughed comfortably, feeling that his idea was simply amazing.

First of all, as he said, don’t underestimate Mr. Qiu Ba’s management ability. Even in later generations, universities are everywhere, and many places still like to recruit veterans. They are disciplined and of high quality. These Western Army cannot be considered qualities, but they are obedient and as long as they give people a chance to become rich and progress, their motivation is almost unlimited.

In this battle, the Song army was also injured and disabled. Even if they went home, they were still useless people. The court's pension was better than nothing. Almost every veteran had a miserable evening.

Han Ping screamed in pain and fell to the ground. His forehead and temples were covered with sweat. The pain made him pale and almost fainted, but he still gritted his teeth and held on.

Di Qing was furious and roared at the person behind him: "Why don't you call the doctor?"

Everyone was also stunned, woke up, turned around and ran away immediately.

Di Qing quickly walked closer, reached out and picked up Han Ping, roaring: "You, even if you want to re-exert the bones, you are waiting for the doctor to come over, how can you do whatever you want?"

Han Ping grinned and forced a smile, "Master, I didn't resist the temptation at the beginning and insisted on sleeping with that Zhu Xiuer first, otherwise I wouldn't have taken her to see theMaster, and there wouldn't be so many brothers being implicated. I deserve it!Master, my legs are good, can I still be your soldier?"
