The devil is coming

Chapter 611
Fengxin City has turned into a huge military camp and at the same time, it is also a large construction site;
Efficiency has always been the attitude towards life that the devils uphold.
A big matter that may require careful consideration, slow consideration, and careful consideration in the eyes of others.
Maybe here,
After having a laugh and a laugh, the result will come out;
The most serious, the most serious,
It's nothing more than a small meeting in a pavilion in private,
Everyone expressed their opinions, and then the blind man in the team who was good at making ideas and planning made a summary and proposed a direction, and then it was handed over to the master who was sitting there and didn't know whether he was listening carefully or making a decision;
At last,
Fan Li then gave a short but powerful "summarizing speech";
Oh,
Work together.
Winter is supposed to be a lazy season, as is the case for animals and for people.
unfortunately,
Marquis Zheng is no longer sitting on the side of the ruler, but he is.
Therefore,
Contrary to the weather that snows from time to time, there is a large construction site in full swing.
The expansion and renovation of Fengxin City cannot be delayed;
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, he will come.
but,
It stands to reason,
Xueguan is in the north, Zhennanguan is in the south,
With the two great gates in hand, no threats, whether from the snowfields or the Chu land, can enter;
Therefore,
The reason why we need to expand Fengxin City so urgently is
It must be to guard against the chaos from Jin!
……
"Girl, she's sitting on the head of a sedan!"
"Hey hey hey hey hey!"
"Brother, let me follow you!"
"Hey hey hey hey hey!"
"Sister, you are so cruel!"
"Hey yo hey!"
"Last night's work was in vain!"
"Hey yo hey, hey yo hey, hey yo hey yo hey yo hey!"
On the half-height table,
Zheng Fan sat there and basked in the sun.
To be honest,
Zheng Fan really likes this earthy atmosphere, which gives him a sense of comfort as he is being influenced by "culture".
These few years,
I've been fighting back and forth for a long time.
I really haven’t had a particularly long time to enjoy life systematically.
What about the demon kings?
No one is around.
To carry out large-scale construction, people are needed everywhere.
Xue San went to be responsible for the construction of the "Forging Bureau". There were many armors and weapons left over from the battle against Chu. These were extremely important resources. In addition, a new round of equipment changes for the Snow Navy was 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 short.
A Ming is responsible for the manufacturing of the workshop. In addition to the earliest perfumes and soaps, he will also develop some new products.
sometimes,
You have to admire the cleverness of some people,
probably,
every era,
Businessmen are all people with the most sensitive sense of smell.
Zheng Fan has just been granted the title of Marquis here.
Over there, the caravan has already arrived.
Not only were the officials and merchants of the imperial court, those directly managed by Xiaoliuzi Hubu, but also merchants from the private sector, from Jin and Yan, as well as caravans from Beifeng County and even from the desert.
Here, there is a blond hair and blue eyes!
Cross the desert from the west, then pass through the Yan State, and then pass through most of the Jin Dynasty before you can reach yourself...
Even Lord Zheng had to be shocked by this spirit of doing whatever it takes to get rich.
After understanding,
The reason why these caravans were able to arrive so early and on time was actually based on the news of the war against Chu. After receiving the news that Yingdu was captured and burned, merchants of all sizes, as long as they had enough capital, immediately came It started.
Yan's victory in foreign wars in the past few years has taught them one thing,
The best way to make a fortune in this world is... wealth from a national crisis.
Every time the Yan army attacked a place, what they plundered was a huge amount of wealth. This wealth needed to be digested, changed hands, and turned into various needed materials;
And in this realization process, the huge price difference generated is a terrifying profit.
Furthermore,
Whether it was in Shengle City or Xue Customs, the goods produced in the workshops under the rule of Lord Zheng had no worries about selling!
As long as you can get the goods,
Calculate the various costs on the road yourself.
In fact, the lowest point of profit has already been reached. After that, the price at which you can sell it depends on your own ability. In short, there is no such thing as slow sales.
If it was just a small fuss in Shengle City, this industry once reached its peak in Xueguan. At that time, there was no successful attack on Chu. Without the will of the imperial court, the massive resources of Yan and Jin were pushed forward, and at that time Due to the lack of soldiers and horses, they could not exploit the wild people in the snow plains at will. However, at that time, relying on this industry and the running back and forth of these merchants, the people of the snow customs were forced to live a comfortable life, and the next year After that, living standards skyrocketed.
In order to win over people's hearts, they used low taxes, and also in order to win over people's hearts, they also increased welfare. Academic societies and medical clinics all have operating costs;
The plate is here. If you don't want to source it from outside, it won't work at all.
Throughout last year,
Marquis Zheng first snatched the princess in the Chu land, and then immediately broke out a vigorous war against Chu, which caused the workshop to have to stop production and all resources to be used for military supplies;
Therefore, the goods were suddenly sold out.
This made countless businessmen feel very sad about this, and they complained many times that "Uncle Zheng" was really not doing his job properly!
If you don't do good business,
Why are you just focusing on fighting?
Therefore, after seeing the dawn of the tilt of the war scale, they immediately took action.
When they arrived, they were loaded with various supplies, and those who transported food carried other items. In short, they collected everything they could.
The Marquis' Mansion has dedicated personnel to distribute the collection.
After accepting it, I will not give you gold or silver, but a bill of goods.
After the goods come out, you can pick them up and leave.
The people of Yan and Jin are really having a difficult time now. This winter, including next year, will be extremely difficult;
It would be difficult for the court to plunder anything anymore, and it would be a few years before the tax increase;
But merchants still have their own channels to get things. This is normal. If even merchants can't get things, it will really be... the end of the world.
Moreover,
There are also merchants from the Qian Kingdom here.
Yes,
Ganren had been calling for the Northern Expedition for more than half a year, but in the end he had a miscarriage;
But the merchants of Ganren broke out with a more powerful subjective initiative than their court and their army.
These merchants did not go through Nanmen Pass, but borrowed roads through several small countries, and then were transferred by Liang State. After crossing Qishan, they were picked up by the Fan family, and then transported by water to Marquis Zheng.
In this way, official obstruction can be avoided, and secondly, tax evasion can be maximized...
Mr. Zheng didn't believe that Xiao Liuzi didn't know this. After all, the Fan family belonged to Xiao Liuzi and not him. However, the household department in charge of Xiao Liuzi did not say anything about this and pretended not to see it at all.
This is also reasonable and reasonable. Once you come to Pingxihou Mansion and eat more, you will have less to ask for from the court, which in itself also reduces the burden on the court;
Secondly,
At this juncture,
If you have to take this seriously and show your selflessness, Ji Laoliu is not that stupid.
In fact, the land of eastern Jin Dynasty was originally very rich. Its current ruin is entirely due to the war, coupled with the short-sightedness of the savages and Chu people to kill the chicken to obtain the eggs;
In essence, the land of eastern Shanxi is connected to the Xueyuan to the north and the Chu land to the south. If the land of the three Jins is combined, it is really a ghost if the commerce and trade is not developed.
According to Siniang’s statistics,
The merchants of Yan were the poorest;
no way,
Xiao Liuzi was on stage, trying to exploit his father in various ways in order to support him in the war;
You know, in the past two years, if the president of Yandi Business Association had to be elected, Xiaoliuzi could almost be said to have done his job;
But the dragon-slaying warrior turned into a dragon,
After he put on the official skin, he became even more comfortable in knocking the bones out of these former colleagues;
In Xiao Liuzi's words, it's not like I've never done business before, so I know that in this world, the powerful and powerful officials who have unsatisfied desires will rebel, and the people at the bottom who don't have enough to eat will rebel. I have never seen merchants rebel.
The number of merchants in Jin is smaller, but they are obviously more prosperous than those in Yan.
This is also reasonable. Although the Jin region has been experiencing continuous wars in the past few years and was assigned personnel to provide labor and food in the battle against Chu, there is still a layer of separation between the Yan State and the imperial court's governance of the Jin region. On the surface, the family background of some businessmen is still there, and the family background of the powerful people behind them is also there.
There are so many powerful people in Yingdu who were not liquidated because the Situ family surrendered, aren't they?
The Chu State caravan has not dared to come yet. For the time being, it is just for Jing Renli and Siniang to have a rough discussion about the next business. Thinking about it, after the spring begins, if they see war horses being traded to Chu, the merchants from Jin will not sit there. Liveable.
The tribal leaders in the snowfield are the most generous, because they are not here for fair transactions, but more like payment of protection fees;
After the Chu people were dealt with, the tribal leaders on the snowy plain all knew that the Yan people, no, this Pingxi Marquis, no one else or other forces could stop him from becoming the boss of Jindong in a short period of time.
Businessmen from the Qian Kingdom are extremely rich;
It once again refreshed Lord Zheng's new understanding of the prosperity of Qian Country.
After all, when he attacked Qian four years ago, he only reached Shangjing and had not yet been to the real Jiangnan land of Qian.
When doing business and making money, these merchants and the powerful people behind them don't care about the national interests.
But even so, it will take at least a year to get the development of Eastern Jin Dynasty on the right track. This winter, until next autumn harvest, the soldiers can eat dry food, but the common people can only eat potatoes every day. mud.
It’s time for dinner;
The smell of mashed potatoes comes.
Potatoes are easy to cook. After peeling them, you can boil them half to death and peel them and eat them; you can boil them to death and eat them mushy; you can make them worse than death and roast them and eat them.
As for potato chips and the like, don’t think about it. There is so much oil to make, why do you still need to use this as your staple food?
Lord Zheng woke up from his nap,
He is wearing a white brocade robe, a white fox fur scarf around his neck, and blue and white boots with black soles and white edges;
There was a jade pendant tied around his waist, and he was protected by a group of personal guards, and there were people helping to hold an umbrella.
The civilian husbands and soldiers who had just finished working and were preparing to eat immediately gathered around excitedly, vying to see the "people-friendly" Lord Zheng.
To be honest, Mr. Zheng’s outfit is not friendly to the people;
But the people of this era have become accustomed to this kind of class division. The most important thing is that Mr. Zheng is too lazy to do that kind of low-level show to be close to the people.
Walk around and look around at will,
Ask some older people to ask.
Find a few who look younger and ask.
Since there was no rehearsal beforehand, I was asked a lot of questions.
Food, clothing and shelter are the three fundamentals;
Eating is not the most important thing at this time. Although mashed potatoes won’t make you want to eat them, it won’t starve you to death. The people who come to work can also get some extra dry food in the meals for cooking. award.
The biggest problems were housing and clothing.
Thanks to the destruction of the new city by Situ Yi and Situ Jiong, the new city has long been an empty city. It has been used as a 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, in addition, there are also standard customers who gradually migrated from Xue Customs.
Well, there's also the Juggernaut.
Juggernaut asked for a more ordinary house this time;
Then Lord Zheng graciously let the sword master choose first;
You choose, I will choose again.
The sword master took a deep breath, turned around and left. He knew clearly that when Xue Guan's wife, children and children moved in and settled in their new home, he would make sure to still be neighbors to Heping Xihou as soon as he went out.
But there are really too many refugees recruited this time.
Therefore, many people now live in underground dens outside the city. They dig holes like mice and find something to shelter them outside. The effect of preventing cold is very poor.
Moreover, many people come here when the weather is hot. When it gets cold, they lack cold-proof clothing;
This raises another problem. The young and strong are fine, but many old, weak, women and children are infected with the cold, and they are faced with a situation of lack of medical treatment and medicine.
"Don't be anxious, everyone. The Marquis Mansion will find a way for you. Please give me a few more days. I need to dispatch and purchase.
Thank you for not giving up and being willing to follow me to take root here. Then I have the responsibility to help everyone settle down and live a better life. "
After the usual visit,
Zheng Fan sent an excited personal guard around him to report these matters to the relevant yamen.
As for which yamen he should go to specifically for the response?
Marquis Zheng really doesn’t know.
The Xueguan customs system was formulated by the blind man and Siniang. Mr. Zheng himself was not very clear about which yamen were which;
after all,
For those who are truly superior to the relevant yamen, it really doesn't matter which yamen is it, it's just a matter of one sentence anyway.
After being exposed to the sun,
I also visited the people’s sentiments,
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.
Then he went to another office where Siniang was.
"See Lord Hou."
"See Lord Hou."
Lord Zheng waved his hand, indicating that they should continue doing their own thing.
When I walked to the door of the signing room, I saw Yuexin, the blind daughter-in-law, walking out with a large stack of documents.
"I have seen Hou Ye."
"Ah."
Lord Zheng walked into the signing room.
Yuexin walked back and closed the door.
Siniang was doing calculations quickly with her left hand, sometimes holding a pen while reviewing.
When Zheng Fan came in,
Siniang looked up, smiled, then lowered her head and continued working;
It's really busy.
Zheng Fan took a kettle from the small stove nearby and poured her a glass of water.
After putting the tea cup on,
Si Niang also immediately stopped, took the cup, and stopped working.
Zheng Fan walked behind Siniang and stretched out his hand to massage her shoulders.
"Tired."
"Fortunately, in Cuiliu Castle, the stalls were small, in Shengle City, the stalls were bigger, and then Snow Customs and then here. My lord, the slave family really feels like they are playing a business simulation game non-stop."
"The maps are getting bigger and harder, and the difficulty is getting higher and higher?"
"The map is bigger, and 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."
"There is no time to delay these matters, my lord."
"The blind man will bring them over in a few days. When the time comes, leave them to the blind man."
"If the blind man comes, he will come every day."
And the prince,
It is still in Fengxin City.
"Let's not ask the prince for now." Zheng Fan said, "Anyway, if he wants to go and see it, he can go."
The last time I secretly visited my son, I suppressed Shatuo Queshi.
However, although King Jingnan was seriously injured and could not take action, it was still very simple for him to secretly meet someone in Fengxin City.
Moreover, Zheng Fan will also make arrangements.
"Ask San'er to send one of his men to wait, and we'll make arrangements around the clock. That Dai Li, I remember that his mind works very fast."
"Well, this is indeed a way."
"And you, I say, take a rest first. After this battle, and it lasted so long, I'm really afraid that the war will start again soon after the arrangements are made and things are back on track."
"Where will there be war? Can we still fight?"
"God knows, those crazy people. In short, I don't want to continue to be a model worker anymore."
"My lord, do you want to?"
"Yes, you have to pity me. It's been several years since I woke up in this world, and I haven't really eaten meat yet."
"But my lord, you have to eat all kinds of meat and fish."
"I'm so greedy. It's not appropriate to always eat cold dishes as a main meal."
"Aren't Liqing and Ruqing coming in two days?"
"I said, they are behind you. Li Qing is okay. When we are two in private, she is charming and naive, but she is like Ruqing..."
"What's wrong with Ruqing?"
Marquis Zheng did not answer.
"Lord, is that so?"
Si Niang raised her head,
He leaned close to Mr. Zheng’s ear and gently bit Mr. Zheng’s earlobe a few times with his teeth.
Breathing lightly on the cochlea,
With a delicate voice, she said:
"Dad~~"
"Hey……"
If Liu Ruqing is naturally charming, then Si Niang is charming and free-spirited, but without the slightest sense of romance. On the contrary, you will happily indulge in her manipulations.
Zheng Fan reached out and hugged Siniang.
Road:
"Let's hand over the matter. Let's have a baby. This time, even if there is thunder and lightning, don't even think of interrupting me!"
