Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

The emperor had already expressed his lack of interest in his grain shop, so Wang Xiujin felt relieved. He didn't have the guts to sign any contract with the emperor. What is the use of a paper contract?For the sake of the environment and to save money, don't waste paper.With the golden order and the support of the emperor, Wang Xiujin took the brochure given by the Li family to select people first. There are many people needed in a workshop, especially the workshop Wang Xiujin wants to run is not small, so the number of people needed is even more.In addition, it is the location.Wang Xiujin asked the fourth prince to borrow the map. The fourth prince looked at Wang Xiujin without speaking for a long time, touched his face and went to find his father.

Early in the morning, Wang Xiujin yawned while sending his mother into the carriage.In the past few days, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Chun have made an agreement on the marriage of the two children, and bought a lot of things. She originally wanted to wait for the child to go back to the hometown together, and Mrs. Wang was worried about the child staying in the capital alone.But recently, for some reason, Mrs. Wang always feels uneasy, feeling that something is about to happen.Mrs. Wang felt that this kind of uneasiness was not caused by the youngest son, so it might be the husband or eldest daughter of the family. Therefore, Mrs. Wang could not stay in the capital with peace of mind and wanted to rush back to Wu County.Wang Xiujin didn't object to his mother's decision, but he was still a little bit reluctant. In his previous life, the family relationship was very thin, but in this life, he likes the feeling of family together very much. He treats his mother, his elder brother and sister, even if he does it from time to time. Wang Xiujin was also very concerned about his father, who made him depressed and decided, and he began to miss him during this time apart.

Reluctantly saying goodbye to his mother, he sent his mother to the gate of the city. Looking at the shadow of the carriage getting farther and farther away, Wang Xiujin felt uncomfortable, and his eyes seemed to be blown into the sand by the wind.

"Sorry, I'm a step late." Early in the morning, the fourth prince entered the General's Mansion with a map. Li Sushan knew that he was Wang Xiujin, so he went out first to find someone.When he arrived at Wang Xiujin's residence, he learned that Wang Xiujin had sent Mrs. Wang away, and Li Sushan rushed to the city gate again, but he was a step too late and could not say goodbye to Mrs. Wang. "Come into my house! Then I can take care of you." I don't know what Li Sushan thought up, patted Wang Xiujin on the shoulder, and proposed to move.

"I have servants by my side, and my mother left two maids." Wang Xiujin twitched his lips, "How did you find it?" Moving to the General's Mansion?Don't be kidding, not to mention the inconvenience of getting in and out, it would be very awkward to live in someone else's house, isn't there a saying that a golden house and a silver house are not as good as your own doghouse.

"When you get to the place where you live, listen to what the girl inside said." Li Sushan still did not give up trying to persuade Wang Xiujin, "There are always things that girls and servants can't take care of, and there is no one who can take care of their own family."

Wang Xiujin directly ignored Li Sushan's next sentence, "Is there something wrong?" Li Sushan should follow the fourth prince, if he went alone, it must be because the fourth prince had something to do and it was inconvenient for Li Sushan to find him.

"My house has something you want to see." Li Sushan hurriedly explained the purpose of coming, and he believed it to his house, but he still couldn't persuade Wang Xiujin to move there.

"I'll go to the General's Mansion after I go back to freshen up." Wang Xiujin actually wanted to go to the General's Mansion right away, but thought of the clothes he was wearing when he came out, so he gave up the idea. The ancients cared a lot about manners.

Li Sushan didn't object, but he didn't take the first step. Instead, he followed Wang Xiujin back, thinking how unsafe it would be to live alone. From the city gate to Wang Xiujin's place, Li Sushan's words never stopped, and he didn't repeat a single sentence. Wang Xiujin was dizzy when he heard that, looking at the expressionless face, he couldn't figure out why the contrast was so big.The mood of parting from his mother was completely lost by Li Sushan's thoughts. Now he just wants to make Li Sushan shut up, but who can tell him how to intervene when the chatterer starts to activate his skills.

Like chanting sutras, Li Sushan talked from the city gate to Wang Xiujin's changing clothes and grooming, and then to the gate of the general's mansion, "It's the best policy for Xiujin to move here."

Wang Xiujin, who had been enduring all this time, clenched his fists for an unknown number of times, and he was finally able to understand the feeling of Sun Houzi beating Tang Seng violently in "A Chinese Journey to the West".With a stiff face, Wang Xiujin tried his best to pull the corners of his mouth, "I won't move." If he hadn't been worried that the refusal decree would be copied all over the house, he would have gone to the emperor crying and begged for divorce. I can be calm, but I don't want to be defeated by chatter.

Li Sushan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he had to shut up because of the timely appearance of Butler Li. Wang Xiujin looked at Butler Li as if he saw an angel.Butler Li was inexplicably looked at, but he didn't show his incomprehension in his heart. He cheerfully and respectfully invited the two of them to the old man's study.

After entering the study, Wang Xiujin discovered another side of Li Sushan. It seemed that Li Sushan didn't speak much to others. He could use one word, but he definitely couldn't say two words. He was very concise.Soon Wang Xiujin's thoughts were all on the map. The map of this era did not overlap with the ones Wang Xiujin had read in history books. The names of dynasties were different, and the names of places were not the same except for the capital. It was the border invaders. Having the same name, but what's the use? No wonder this dynasty always gives him a very strange feeling, like sweet potato, calculated according to the time when it entered my dynasty, it should definitely not appear in Daliang, but now Daliang has matured planting rules.Wang Xiujin couldn't think of it, he stared at the map in a daze, if Li Sushan hadn't pulled his sleeves off, Wang Xiujin might have fallen into an inexplicable emotion for a while.Facing Li Sushan's worried eyes, Wang Xiujin smiled wryly, and then nodded his hand, which should be the location of Liaodong, "I heard people say that this side is all black land."

Old General Li glanced at the place Wang Xiujin was pointing at and nodded, "The barren land over there is occupied by barbarians, but as Xiu Jin said, it's all black land."

"The black soil is thick and fertile, and it is a good land for cultivation." Wang Xiujin's eyes flashed disappointment when he heard that the land did not belong to Daliang.The land over there is so good. In the previous life, Wa Kingdom used the land there to support the whole island. In addition to the good land, there are also good mines and good oil, but it is a pity that it cannot be produced at all with the current technology.

"It's very cold there, how can there be any good land." The fourth prince shook his head, "If there is a good land, they can still come to the border to invade every year."

"That's because they are stupid. They don't know the treasure with the treasure pot in their hands." Wang Xiujin remembered that in his previous life, the provinces in the Northeast were all major grain-producing provinces. Although they have scientific cultivation, there are still high-grade rice and rice seeds that play a role. But it is undeniable that in addition to industry in the Northeast, the grain output is also highly valued by the state.

Old General Li followed his beard, and after listening to Wang Xiujin's words, he wanted to call in soldiers to drive away the barbarians, but if he couldn't drive them away, he forcibly occupied the land known as the treasure basin.The fourth prince was staring at Wang Xiujin's finger, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see any difference. "If this place belongs to my Liang, what does Xiu Jin think?" The only person present who could stand up to Wen was Li Laosan who hadn't led troops to the battlefield in the barracks for a long time... Li Junchi.

"This is something that the emperor and civil servants should worry about." Wang Xiujin didn't gossip. There is no high-yield land in the northeast, so the workshop can only move south. Anyway, there is a border problem in the south, and there are soldiers guarding it.Wang Xiujin never expected that he found something for himself again.After the fourth prince left in a hurry, he was called into the palace in the afternoon.

This time, the face-to-face is no longer a one-on-one meeting with the emperor alone, and there is old general Li standing aside, and the emperor did not leave him alone like last time. After he saluted and got up, he said, "The land of barbarians , is it really a good land for farming as you said?"

Wang Xiujin thought that the emperor wanted to ask about the workshop, so he didn't want to talk about it. Thinking of what he said in the morning, Wang Xiujin secretly hated in his heart, it must be the fourth prince who is talkative, and he can't say anything in the future. "yes."

"Hahaha, if it's true what Xiujin said, those barbarians really don't know the treasure while holding the treasure basin. Since they don't know, then don't blame me for not being authentic." The emperor smiled happily, and the corners of Wang Xiujin's mouth twitched, I just feel like my head is big. "This time, General Lao Li will personally lead the army out."

"Your Majesty, the grassroots thought that a large army would not be allowed to go to war." Wang Xiujin was distressed, because a single word of his own triggered a war, and he was unavoidably uneasy, ashamed, guilty, and many inexplicable emotions.

"Oh, Xiu Jin also knows how to use soldiers?" The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Xiujin.

Wang Xiujin shuddered, and cupped his hands forcefully, "The grassroots thought they could expand their army and occupy land, and then they built houses to farm."

The emperor lightly tapped the case.Old General Li was worried for Wang Xiujun, "Your Majesty, I think Xiujin's words are feasible." Just because of Wang Xiujin's desire to be a disabled soldier, he also wanted to protect Wang Xiujin, and he couldn't make the emperor want to kill Wang Xiujin because of this matter.

The emperor was overjoyed. Old General Li is still the same as before. Does this mean that he regards Wang Xiujin as one of his own?Start maintenance. "Tell me carefully."

"Most of the barbarians are nomadic, mainly raising cattle and sheep. They live like tents, that is, they don't keep warm, and they will be blown up in case of strong winds. If they can be assimilated, live in houses like the people of Daliang, dismount their horses and farm, then Daliang There is one more nation, one less enemy." After Wang Xiujin finished speaking, he felt that he missed the point, "As for how to act, I hope the emperor will forgive the grassroots for their lack of knowledge, and the grassroots are just talking on paper."

"Okay, it's like 'one more nation, one less enemy'." The emperor looked at Wang Xiujin, and after listening to what Wang Xiujin said, he knew that he really didn't know how to use troops or how to govern. Instead of convincing them with new ideas, it is better to assimilate them and make them surrender unconsciously.

When Wang Xiujin came out of the palace, he touched the cold sweat on his head. General Li looked at Wang Xiujin's face full of worry, and after thinking about it, he suppressed his worries. As long as the Li family is here, he can protect him for the rest of his life.
