The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 350 Review and Prospect
In a blink of an eye, March spring returned to the earth, and the series of actions that Hengshan had planned before began to show results.

After Hengshan's continuous support, Yang Mingyuan of Mingzhou and Qi Rui of Yanzhou finally blocked the attack of the northern barbarians.The three parties are all located on the northern border, directly bordering the Hu people. In order to survive, the three parties signed an alliance agreement with foreign countries, agreeing to live in peace and help each other.In the future, whenever the Hu people invade, the other two parties must unconditionally support and jointly resist the Hu people in the north.

At the same time, due to frequent wars, the livelihood of the people in the three states is difficult, and there is a shortage of supplies. After discussion, the three parties decided to sign a business agreement to communicate with each other.Hengshan will open important resources such as cattle and sheep, horses, ironware, and salt to them, so as to restore the strength of the two places as soon as possible.And because Mingzhou is rich in coal, it has increased mining for the resources that Hengshan urgently needs, and it has become a major export industry for Hengshan.Yanzhou is close to the sea, and the fishing industry is quite developed. A large number of seafood products are salted and shipped to Hengshan in large quantities, which makes the recipes of Hengshan people more diverse.In addition, its flat terrain is suitable for farming, and the output of grain and grass is abundant. It is also exported to Hengshan as a bulk commodity.Although Hengshan is already self-sufficient in grain, it is constantly absorbing grain from Yanzhou in order to store it in reserve.

In the strategy against the prairie people, Hengshan signed an armistice agreement with the Golden Werewolf, and the two sides established a shopping mall in the buffer area of ​​[-] miles to exchange trade and exchange needs.A large backlog of furs, cattle and sheep from the Golden Werewolves poured into the shopping mall in an endless stream, exchanging various materials from Hengshan.At this time, the Golden Werewolf discovered that it was better to use trade to obtain materials in the south than to send troops to plunder.At least there is no need to sacrifice human life to open the passage to the south, causing heavy losses to his tribe, but the final harvest has to be allocated more than half to the Khan court.For the current transaction, I only need to pay [-]% of the tax to the Khan Court, and [-]% to the Hengshan Taxation Bureau, and the remaining [-]% of the harvest is my own.Such a good thing was unthinkable before.Here, they couldn't help but be grateful for Hengshan's persistence. It was precisely because Hengshan demanded that the mall's tax revenue be maintained at [-]%, half for each party, so that they did not have to pay more than half of the supplies.

In fact, this request was not insisted on by Hengshan for the sake of the Golden Werewolf.On the contrary, doing so can protect the interests of Hengshan merchants to the greatest extent.The tax rate of the shopping mall is [-]-[-]. If the tax rate is too high, only Hengshan will suffer.Because Hengshan occupies a dominant position in the transactions of the mall, exports far exceed imports, forming a strong trade deficit.If the tariff is too heavy, it will only make the Golden Wolf Khan Court cheaper and suck too much blood from the Hengshan merchants.Only by maintaining a low tax rate can Hengshan merchants dump Hengshan products to the Golden Wolf people, eventually occupying the market of the Golden Wolf Khanate and controlling their economy.Naturally, the Golden Werewolves would not understand this kind of economic principle. They would only laugh at Hengshan's stupidity while buying high-quality and cheap Hengshan products.

Regarding this, Hengshan remained silent, secretly laughing and buying a large amount of furs from the Golden Werewolf at extremely low prices, and dumping a large amount of cheaper goods on the grassland.

Jinlang Khan didn't notice this at all, and instead ordered the noble head of the Khan court to take the opportunity to sell all the things that could be sold in the tribe to Hengshan in exchange for more useful supplies.The Central Plains slaves captured the year before were also collected from various tribes and escorted to Hengshan to exchange weapons.It's a pity that after two years of torture, there were less than 50 people left from the original nearly one million people.

For these people who are about to be exchanged, Hengshan attaches great importance to it, and has prepared various measures to deal with the resettlement of tens of thousands of people.Xiazhou was originally vast, but now the population is only about one million, and it is still sparsely populated.The filling of these people in Xiazhou will increase Xiazhou's labor force by hundreds of thousands, and the construction and production in various places will be more prosperous.

The Donghu people who attacked Yanzhou also retreated in January, and Qi Rui of Yanzhou immediately adopted a similar strategy after learning of Hengshan's strategy against the Golden Werewolf.Through negotiations, the Donghu people automatically retreated, but the price paid was a lot of money, food and materials.At the same time, Qi Rui also started business exchanges with Donghu people, selling a large number of weapons and food.In fact, when the Donghu people saw that the Golden Werewolf was quickly recovering after reaching an agreement with Hengshan, they were also very anxious.After Qi Rui's mission to negotiate, he immediately agreed.On the one hand, he purchased a large amount of supplies from Yanzhou, and on the other hand, in the north of Yanzhou, King Zuoxian built a city and a stronghold in the old land, and trained his soldiers and horses.

Everyone knew that the two major powers in the grassland were about to fight to the death again, and they were silently giving them swords and guns, encouraging them to fight to the death.

In late March, the Hengshan Spring Conference was held again. After this year's development, Hengshan's development has reached a new level.The population has reached more than 450 million, including the people of Mingzhou who just arrived in Hengshan.What pleased Hengshan most was that the number of newborns this year reached more than 30, and the birth rate reached 60%.In addition, there were more than 50 captives imprisoned in Hengshan, of which more than [-] were golden wolves, and less than [-] were captured by the Northern Expedition Army of the imperial court.Naturally, these people could not be idle. The construction and resource exploitation of Hengshan could not be done without the contribution of these captives.

On the basis of the original territory, an area of ​​7 miles in length and [-] miles in width and width was added to the north of Xiayang Mountain.A city with a capacity of more than [-] people has been built in the desert salt lake area. Today, more than [-] people have settled here. Except for [-] garrisons, the rest of the residents make their living from making salt.

The grain harvest has been increasing steadily, especially after Anzhou stabilized, it soon became another grain producing area in Hengshan.This year, Hengshan's overall harvest reached nearly 500 million shi, of which the newly established Anzhou contributed a full 800 million shi, far exceeding Hengshan's estimate.Among them, the planting area of ​​sweet potatoes has doubled, accounting for more than half of the grain output.With the continuous expansion of planting, the output of sweet potatoes will increase and become one of the staple foods in Hengshan.

Other agricultural and animal husbandry indicators have reached the annual plan. The number of cattle and sheep in captivity has exceeded 300 million, and the number of horses has reached nearly 30.With the rich and beautiful grassland north of Xiayang Mountain being owned by Hengshan, there will be more pastures, which can raise more cattle and sheep.The further expansion of cattle and sheep breeding will enable the people of Hengshan to eat more meat and their bodies will be stronger.At the same time, the fur of cattle and sheep is also one of the bulk commodities of commerce, which can bring rich profits to Hengshan.But the value of cattle and sheep is far more than that. If the beef and mutton are marinated after processing, it can be used as a must-have item for military rations, and it can also be sold all over the world to add new commercial goods.And their milk, after processing, can be made into cheese or toffee, enriching the recipes of the common people.

Industries in Hengshan are blooming almost everywhere. Where there is a city, there are stretches of workshops settled in it.Take advantage of urban population concentration and recruit a large number of workers to work.Due to the adoption of the assembly line model, the output of Hengshan products has increased dramatically, and the production cost is extremely low. They are dumped in large quantities for export. Now the markets in other spheres of influence have been occupied by various Hengshan products, and the local workshops have been suppressed to the point of bankruptcy.Many local unemployed workers and craftsmen were quickly recruited by the Hengshan trade union, acquired and merged closed workshops on the spot, and quickly put into production.None of the top leaders of the major forces noticed these things. Only the private businessmen quickly noticed Hengshan's full of malice, but they were soft-spoken and never paid attention to by the rulers. persevere.

In the past year, as the newly established technical college developed more equipment, the workshop continued to introduce new ones in the production of products.It makes Hengshan's products novel, delicate and exquisite, and its efficiency is far superior to other counterparts.
