Devil’s Advent

Fengxin City has become a huge barracks, and at the same time, it is also a large construction site;

Efficiency has always been the life attitude of the devil kings.

A major event that may require careful consideration, slow consideration, and careful consideration in the eyes of others,

maybe here,

Hey and haha, we bumped into each other, and the result came out;

most serious most serious,

It's nothing more than a private meeting in a gazebo,

Everyone expresses their opinions, and then the blind man in the team who is good at making ideas and planning will make a summary and propose a direction, and then hand it over to the master who is sitting there and doesn't know whether he is listening carefully or wandering away to make a decision;

at last,

Then Fan Li made a short but powerful "concluding statement";

oh,

Qi work.

Winter is supposed to be a lazy season, as it is for animals and people.

pity,

Zheng Houye is no longer sitting on the side of the ruler, but he is what he is.

so,

Contrary to the occasional snowy weather, there is a large construction site in full swing.

The expansion and renovation of Fengxin City is urgent;

Because you don't know when the enemy will appear, and when he appears, he won't say hello first and ask you if the city wall has been built. If it is repaired, he will come.

but,

It stands to reason,

Xueguan is in the north, Zhennanguan is in the south,

With the two great passes in hand, no matter whether it is a threat from the snow field or from the Chu land, they cannot enter;

so,

The reason for the urgent expansion of Fengxin City is that

It must be to guard against the rioters from Jin!

...

"Girl, she sits on the sedan chair!"

"Hey hey hey hey hey hey!"

"Brother, I'll follow!"

"Hey hey hey hey hey hey!"

"Sister, you are so cruel!"

"Hey yo hey!"

"Last night's work was for nothing!"

"Hey yo hey, hey yo hey, hey yo hey yo hey yo hey!"

On a half-person-high platform,

Zheng Fan sat there basking in the sun.

Seriously,

Zheng Fan really likes this down-to-earth atmosphere, which will give him a sense of comfort being nurtured by "culture".

These few years,

Patronizing gold and iron horses to fight back and forth,

I really haven't enjoyed life systematically for a long time.

What about the devil kings?

No one is around.

In the development of large-scale construction, people are needed everywhere.

Xue San went to be responsible for the construction of the "Foundry Bureau". There were many armor and weapons left over from the Battle of Chu. These are extremely important resources, and a new round of refitting for the Snow Navy is about to begin;

At the same time, the demand for agricultural tools after the beginning of spring is also huge.

It can be said that the task is extremely heavy and the time is extremely rushed.

A Ming is responsible for the manufacture of the workshop. In addition to the earliest perfumes and soaps, some new products will also be developed.

sometimes,

You have to admire the cleverness of some people,

perhaps,

every age,

Businessmen are the group of people with the most sensitive sense of smell.

Zheng Fan has just become a Marquis here,

Over there, the caravan has already arrived.

Not only the official merchants of the imperial court, that is, those directly operated by the Xiaoliuzi household department, but also merchants from the private sector, from Jindi and Yandi, as well as caravans from Beifeng County and even from the desert.

Here, there is a blond and blue-eyed person!

Crossing the desert from the west, then passing through the country of Yan, and then passing through most of the land of Jin to reach myself...

Even Zheng Houye had to be shocked by this kind of spirit of doing everything in order to get rich.

After understanding,

The reason why these caravans came so early and in a timely manner was actually based on the news of the war against Chu. After receiving the news that Yingdu was breached and burned, merchants, large and small, as long as they could afford it, immediately went to the city. started.

The victory of Yan State in foreign wars a few years ago has taught them one thing,

The best fortune in this world is... national disaster wealth.

Every time the Yan army attacked a place, what they looted back was a huge amount of wealth. This wealth needed to be digested, changed hands, and turned into various needed materials;

In this process of realization, the huge difference in price is a terrible profit.

Furthermore,

Whether it was in Shengle City or Snow Customs, the goods produced in the workshops under the rule of Lord Zhenghou would not worry about selling at all!

As long as you can get the goods,

Calculate the various costs on the road by yourself.

In fact, the lowest point of profit has already come out, and after that, it depends on its ability to sell more. In short, there is no such thing as unsalable.

If it is said that in Shengle City, it was just a small fight, in Xuehaiguan, the industry was once huge. At that time, there was no success in conquering Chu. For the wild people in Xueyuan, they couldn’t squeeze them at will because of the shortage of soldiers and horses. But at that time, relying on this industry and relying on these merchants’ running back and forth, it forced the people of Xueguan to live a comfortable year, and the next year After that, the standard of living has risen linearly.

In order to buy people's hearts, low taxes are used, and in order to buy people's hearts, benefits are also increased. Schools and medical centers all have operating costs;

The plate is here, if you don't want to open source from the outside, you won't be able to play at all.

Throughout last year,

Zheng Houye first robbed the princess in Chu, and then immediately broke out a vigorous war against Chu, which caused the workshop to stop production, and all resources were piled up for military supplies;

Therefore, the goods were broken at once.

This made countless merchants heartbroken by this, and complained in their hearts countless times that "Uncle Zheng" really did not do his job properly!

Don't do good business,

Why did you just patronize the war!

Therefore, after seeing the dawn of the tilt of the war balance, they immediately dispatched.

When they came, they were full of various supplies, and those who transported food transported other things. In short, they gathered everything that could be collected.

There is a special person under the Marquis's mansion to carry out the distribution,

After receiving it, instead of giving you gold and silver, I will give you the bill of lading,

After the goods come out, you can pick up the goods and leave.

The people in the land of Yanjin are really having a hard time now, this winter, including next year, will be extremely difficult;

It is also difficult for the imperial court to find anything anymore, and the tax increase has already been done a few years later;

But merchants still have their own channels to get things. This is a very normal thing. If even merchants can't get things, it's really... the end of the world.

Moreover,

There are also merchants from Qianguo here.

Yes,

Ganren called the Northern Expedition for more than half a year, and finally had a miscarriage;

But the merchants who are dry people have exploded with a subjective initiative that is stronger than their court and their army.

These merchants did not go through the South Gate Pass, but borrowed the way through several small countries, and then they were transferred by Liang Guo. After passing Qishan, they were picked up by the Fan family, and then the Fan family took the waterway and transported them to Zheng Houye.

In this way, official obstruction can be avoided, and second, tax evasion can be maximized.

Lord Zheng Hou didn't believe that Little Liuzi didn't know this, after all, the Fan family belonged to Little Liuzi and not him, but the household department in charge of Little Liuzi didn't say anything about it, pretending he didn't see it at all.

This is also reasonable, once the Pingxihou Mansion eats more, it will ask for less from the court, which in itself also reduces the burden on the court;

Second,

At this juncture,

Ji Lao Liu is not that stupid if he has to be serious about this and show his selflessness.

In fact, the land of eastern Jin was originally very rich, but its current dilapidation is entirely due to the war, and the short-sighted killing of chickens and eggs by savages and Chu people;

In essence, the land in the east of Shanxi is connected to the snowfield in the north, and the land of Chu in the south, and then there are no lands in the three Jins.

According to Si Niang's statistics,

The merchants in Yandi are the poorest,

no way,

Xiaoliuzi was on the stage, in order to support his father in the war, it can be said that he used various methods to exploit;

You know, in the past two years, if you wanted to elect the president of the Yandi Merchants Association, Little Six would almost do his part;

But the dragon-slaying warrior turned into a dragon,

After he put on the official skin, he became more adept at knocking out the bones and sucking the marrow of these former colleagues;

In Xiaoliuzi's words, it's not that I haven't done business before, so I know that in this world, rich and powerful ministers who can't satisfy their desires will rebel, and the people at the bottom will rebel if they don't have enough to eat. I have never seen merchants rebel.

There are fewer merchants in Jin, but they are obviously richer than merchants in Yan.

This is also a matter of reason. Although the Jin land has been fighting for years, and was apportioned to contribute to the battle of Chu, but after all, there is a layer of separation, and the governance of the Jin land by the Yan State court is still a bit sloppy On the surface, therefore, the background of some merchants is still there, and the background of the rich and powerful behind them is still there.

In Yingdu, there are so many dignitaries who were not liquidated because of Situ's surrender, aren't they?

The caravan from Chu State didn't dare to come yet, and for the time being, Jing Renli and Siniang were only allowed to have a rough talk about the upcoming business. Thinking about it, after the beginning of spring, if they saw war horses being traded to Chu, merchants from Jin would not sit down. liveable.

The chiefs of the tribes in Xueyuan, they spend the most money, because they are not here for fair trade, but more like paying protection fees;

After the Chu people were dealt with, the tribal leaders on the snowfield knew that the Yan people, no, this Marquis of Pingxi, in a short time, no one else or other forces could hinder him from becoming the boss of Jindong.

A businessman in a dry country, rich as hell;

It once again refreshed Zheng Houye's new understanding of the prosperity of Qianguo.

After all, when he attacked Qian four years ago, he only went to Shangjing, and he had never been to the real southern part of Qian country.

Doing business and earning money, these merchants and the dignitaries behind them don't care about the righteousness of the country.

But this is the case. It will take at least a year to get the development of the land of Eastern Jin on the right track. This winter, until the autumn harvest next year, the soldiers can eat dry food, and the common people can only eat potatoes every day. mud.

It's time for dinner;

The smell of mashed potatoes came.

Potatoes are very easy to cook. After peeling, you can boil them half to death and eat them; you can boil them to death and eat them mush;

As for potato chips and the like, don't even think about it, there is so much oil to make, and you still need to use this as your staple food?

Lord Zheng Hou woke up from his doze,

Today he is dressed in a white brocade robe with a white fox fur scarf around his neck, and blue and white boots with black soles and white borders;

A jade pendant was tied around her waist, surrounded by a group of personal guards, and someone helped to hold an umbrella.

The civilian husbands and soldiers who had just finished working and were preparing to eat immediately crowded around excitedly, scrambling to see Zheng Houye, who is "close to the people".

To be honest, Master Zheng's attire is not close to the people;

But the people of this era are already used to this kind of class division. Most importantly, Lord Zheng Hou is too lazy to do that kind of too low-level people-friendly show.

Walk around casually, look casually,

Ask some older people,

Find a few more young people who look younger and ask,

Since there was no rehearsal beforehand, a lot of questions were asked.

Food, clothing and shelter are the three fundamentals;

Eating is not the most important thing at this time. Although the mashed potatoes will not make you open to eat, it will not starve you to death. The peasants who come to work can also get some dry food in their meals as a supplement. award.

The biggest problem is housing and clothing.

Thanks to the ruins of Situ Yi and Situ Jiong, Fengxin City has long been an empty city. It has been a large military camp for two years, but the problem is that the expansion of the city has not been completed, and the people living in it must be from the army. Relevant personnel plus office staff, and moreover, there are standard accounts who have gradually migrated from Xueguan.

Well, and Juggernaut.

Juggernaut this time asked to be more common when allocating houses;

Then Lord Zheng generously let the Juggernaut choose first;

You choose, I will choose again.

The Juggernaut took a deep breath, turned around and left. He knew clearly that after Xuehaiguan's wife and children moved in and settled down in their new house, he would guarantee that Ping Xihou would still be his neighbor as soon as he went out.

But this time, there are really too many refugees recruited.

Therefore, many people now live in burrows outside the city, that is, they dig a hole like a mouse, and then find something to cover it outside, which has poor cold protection effect.

And many people came here when it was hot, and when it was cold, they lacked cold-proof clothes;

This has caused another problem. Young and strong are fine, but many old and weak women and children have contracted the cold, and they are facing a situation of lack of medical treatment.

"Everyone, don't worry, the Hou Mansion will find a way for you, please give me a few more days, I need to dispatch and purchase.

Thanks to everyone for not giving up and willing to follow Benhou to take root here, then Benhou has the responsibility to let everyone settle down and live a better life. "

After the usual visits,

Zheng Fan sent a surreptitious personal guard by his side to report these matters to the relevant yamen.

As for which government office to respond to specifically,

Lord Zheng Hou really didn't know.

The system of Xueguan was formulated by Blind Man and Si Niang, and Lord Zheng Hou himself was not very clear about which yamen was involved;

after all,

For the superiors who are really above the relevant yamen, it really doesn't matter which yamen the relevant yamen is, it's just a matter of one sentence anyway.

basked in the sun,

Visited the people again,

Feeling that he had done something today and felt relatively fulfilled, Lord Zheng returned to his temporary residence.

Not long after returning,

It came out again.

Instead, he went to another office where Siniang was.

"See Lord Hou."

"See Lord Hou."

Zheng Houye waved his hand, motioning them to continue doing their own thing.

When he walked to the door of the signing room, he saw Yuexin, the blind daughter-in-law, coming out with a large pile of documents.

"I've seen Master Hou."

"Um."

Lord Zheng Hou walked into the signing room,

Yuexin came back again and closed the door.

Siniang was calculating quickly with her left hand, and sometimes she kept marking with a pen.

When Zheng Fan came in,

Siniang looked up, smiled, then lowered her head and continued to work;

I'm really busy.

Zheng Fan took a kettle from the small stove nearby and poured her a glass of water.

After putting the teacup on,

Siniang also stopped working immediately, took the cup and stopped working.

Zheng Fan walked behind Si Niang and reached out to help her massage her shoulders.

"Tired."

"Fortunately, in Cuiliu Castle, the small stalls, in Shengle City, the stalls are bigger, and then there is Xueguan, and then here, master, I really feel like I am playing a business simulation game non-stop."

"The maps are getting bigger and bigger, and the difficulty is getting higher and higher?"

"The map is big, but the difficulty is actually not bad, because the external environment is getting better and better, and there are more resources at hand."

"Take it easy."

"These matters cannot be delayed, my lord."

"The blind man will bring them over in a few days. When the time comes, let the blind man do the work."

"If the blind man comes, Tian Tian will come too."

And the prince,

It is still in Fengxin City.

"Don't ask the prince for now." Zheng Fan said, "Anyway, if he wants to see it, he can go."

The last time I secretly went to see my son, I suppressed Sha Tuo and Que Shi.

However, although King Jingnan is seriously injured and unable to do anything, it is still very easy for him to meet someone secretly in Fengxin City.

Moreover, Zheng Fan will also make arrangements.

"Let San'er send one of his subordinates to wait for him. Just make arrangements around the clock. That Dai Li, I remember thinking very quickly."

"Well, this is indeed a way."

"And you, I said, take a rest first, this battle is over, and it took so long to fight, I'm really afraid that just after the adjustments and arrangements here are on the right track, there will be another war soon."

"Where will there be wars? Can we still fight?"

"God knows, those lunatics. Anyway, I don't want to be a model worker anymore."

"My lord, do you want to?"

"Yes, you have to pity me too. I have been awake in this world for several years, and I haven't really eaten meat yet."

"But my lord, you don't eat less of all kinds of meat."

"I don't want to satisfy my hunger. I always eat cold dishes as dinner, which is not appropriate."

"Won't Liqing and Ruqing be here in two days?"

"I said before that they are behind you. Liqing is fine. When we are alone together, she is quite charming, but Ruqing..."

"What happened to Ruqing?"

Lord Zheng Hou didn't answer.

"My lord, is that so?"

Si Niang raised her head,

Leaning close to Zheng Houye's ear, biting Zheng Houye's earlobe lightly with his teeth,

Breathing lightly in the cochlea,

With a delicate voice, he said softly:

"Dad~~"

"Why……"

If Liu Ruqing is naturally charming, then Si Niang is very charming, but she doesn't have the slightest sense of romanticism. On the contrary, you will happily indulge in her manipulations.

Zheng Fan stretched out his hand and hugged Siniang,

road:

"Let's hand over the matter, let's have a baby, this time, even if there is a thunderbolt, don't even think about interrupting me!"

Thanks to students who are fat and heavy like a mountain, students Binah and Xiao Miao who have left a claw for becoming the new leader of Molin!

There is another chapter in the evening, let’s get up at two o’clock tomorrow morning to read it.
