Dreamland
It has already entered the trap, and when the imperial edict was issued, there was no room for repentance.Their food is basically backlogged in Jiangnan, and Jiangnan is not a food-deficient area. ,

The imperial court came with a unified price of 28 Wen. Most of them ate this batch of grain from Wang Hua, and they had to mention the cost of [-] Wen for transportation and storage.If it is shipped to the place where it is sold, the transportation cost, the retailer's profit, plus tax, even if they sell it from the store, the cost will be increased by at least [-] yuan.

If it is sold now, the big family will be better off, after all, Xia Liang has made a lot of money.However, the small and medium-sized families of the eighteen middle schools may go bankrupt.Besides, can their own stores sell so much grain?This is still a little bit of greed by the court. If the pressure reaches 25 renminbi, they will not be able to cry even if they want to.

Therefore, we can only hope that the imperial court will run out of food, and Wang Hua's three thousand stones will not return to the Tang Dynasty until the Year of the Monkey is unknown.The imperial court did not dare to release any more grain.At that time, the food in their hands will still be the only family.However, this way the cover sinks even deeper.In addition to the 500 shi of grain, Wang Hua’s [-] million shi of grain, and three batches of nearly [-] million shi of grain, were enough to sustain the shortage of grain in the Tang Dynasty until the summer harvest.When the summer harvest comes, the autumn harvest in Oceania will follow.Food prices will never turn around. On the contrary, they save for a long time, consume losses, manage costs, and embezzle funds, and the cost is higher.Moreover, new grain has become old grain, but its value is falling.Even if Wang Hua didn't make a second move, they themselves collapsed.

But for the second shot, you need to wait for the right time. Wang Hua is now focusing on the population.

When the first few groups of people arrived in Qinzhou, Wang Hua was very honest, escorted them all the way, provided board and lodging, and had easy clothes. After passing Lingnan, the weather was only hot, not cold.After receiving them from Qinzhou, they immediately arranged jobs according to their specialties, and even provided a simple room.Then let them write letters back to their relatives and friends, so that relatives and friends can rest assured.

The common people couldn't think of anything else, that person had no relatives or friends, but most of them were written by people who had been arranged by Wang Hua to be literate, and they agreed on the situation.Of course, like entering heaven, the letter also praised this place as heaven.

The letter was sent away, and it was still sent to various places by fast horses.

The letter also spread. Most people have doubts about Lingnan.But after reading the letter, I heard that there is a serious lack of people here, and there are things to do when they come, and as long as they arrive in Daozhou, they will be escorted and provided with food all the way to Qinzhou.Later changed to Yongzhou.The food matter was settled, and more manpower was drawn out, and it was still manpower that had been tempered by months of wind and waves.So Yongzhou was mentioned, Tanzhou was mentioned, and finally Yuezhou, Jiangling, and Ezhou were mentioned, and a small warehouse and gathering point were added in the states along the way to provide food for the people and gather refugees.Some more ships were transferred to go upstream along the Xiangjiang River to reduce the delay.They even directly used sea ships to carry the people from Jiangling Ezhou to the south along the sea route.

After hearing the news, more people were moved, and some tenants began to escape from the master's house quietly and head south.

This is not an overstep. Originally, the imperial court encouraged the people to move to Kuan Township. Not to mention the refugees who escaped from their households, even good people, the imperial court also supported them to go south to reduce the pressure of insufficient arable land in the Central Plains.Therefore, no official dared to interfere, even Zong Chuke and others dared not use this matter to impeach Wang Hua in the court.

But at this time, Wang Hua started to act. First, someone among the immigrants said, for example, if it is good to arrive in Qinzhou, he is afraid that after Wang Hua leaves Qinzhou, he will be replaced by a bad official.Hearing this, many fleeing households became worried, but when they got here, they couldn't turn back, and their faces were full of anxiety.

At this time, this person said again, in fact, it is best to go to a dream country.Everyone is very strange, asking about the dream country, the name sounds very attractive.

Don't know, but he has a cousin, or a good friend, or whatever.I was lured to this country by a friend, and after half a year, I wrote a letter back and sent back [-] yuan, saying that it is good where he is, where there are thousands of miles of fertile fields, and he can cultivate as much land as he wants. When he goes to the local government, he will provide them with New houses, clothes, farm tools and seeds, everything is ready anyway, just bring two hands and two feet.That person doesn't have two hands and two feet?Unless disabled.Then quietly took his family over.But this kid is not loyal, he forgot his cousin, brother, and didn't give him the address.

Many people either believe or doubt.

So more people talked to him.When more people paid attention, a person suddenly ran over, hugged this person, and said that it was hard to find him.Then he sang an opera, and the person said that the person who came was his cousin or friend, and answered one-on-one.The family took it, and someone asked why he was not taken as a friend or cousin.So I went back to the Central Plains in person to find this person.But I heard that he fled to Qinzhou again.So I complained, can I go to Qinzhou?You don't know what to do when Wang Shijun only stayed in Qinzhou for more than a year and then went back?
I didn't expect you to find me, take me away.

Can't go, that's going abroad, even if you go, you have to go quietly, and there is a shortage of people in Qinzhou, will Wang Hua let them go?I'll make arrangements to ensure your family leaves smoothly.

During the lecture and answer, the people next to me heard it, so someone asked weakly, could they take me away together.

So we walked all the way, while rolling the snowball, when we arrived at Qinjiang, the visitor said, we should go.They boarded a ship at night, ordered them to hide in the cabin, and then hung up a flag with the word "King".Who dares to investigate Wang Hua's boat?When I arrived at Qinzhou Bay, I got on the big ship that was anchored in Qinzhou Bay, and said frankly that there was this place, but it was run by Wang Hua.It's not that they are not allowed to go to Qinzhou, there are too many people coming, even Qinzhou can't arrange it, and Wang Hua will leave in a year, so there is no guarantee that they will have a good life for the rest of their lives.But the new place is even better than Qinzhou, and they immediately took out new clothes and put them on.

There are also common people who are suspicious, but in this vast sea, who to shout to.One ship after another loaded people, packed them all, and left immediately.

As for the people on the sea ship, it is easier to agitate, and then use various excuses to replenish supplies in Jiangzhou, Chizhou, Suzhou, and Mingzhou, Wenzhou, and Quanzhou on the sea, and transfer people away.Those who are willing to leave, supplement enough supplies from Quanzhou, and leave the Tang Dynasty directly.more stealthy.

What else?From the winter month to April, especially the chaos in spring, the people who flocked to Qinzhou were countless.Qinzhou can’t afford it. Once the population is saturated, it’s not a good thing. The salary reduction and the people’s homelessness will bring serious negative effects.Therefore, it has to be maintained at a point where there is a slight shortage of population, but the population shortage in the previous period is too much.

In six months, Wang Hua transferred more than 17 civilians in this way.With the help of the Wang family in Taiyuan, the original population of Tang people in Oceania reached more than 20.Therefore, the slave hunting team was released again, not only from the local aborigines, but in fact there was no need to do it. Seeing the benefits, many aboriginals automatically joined in.More is to start from the Japanese country, now there are more people, more powerful, and with sharp weapons, hundreds of ships stop, even the local government does not care, thousands of soldiers armed to the teeth, one The open kidnapping of a village.

In the summer, Xiaowa finally let the envoy drift to the Tang Dynasty with great difficulty, and handed over the letter of credence to protest.

Li Xian was very surprised, who did this?I don't know, people are being kidnapped everywhere, which is also an abnormal phenomenon. While there is a shortage of people, the people are fleeing.But Li Xian still knew the difference in the middle, what was lacking was not good people, but slaves.Fiddled around a bit and let the emissary settle down.

By June, the controlled population in Oceania had swelled to more than 190 million.In fact, by this time, even Oceania itself will be able to produce 3000 million shi of grain by the second year.And the population is still increasing.

But after April, the momentum finally weakened. After all, the food price was stable, the money problem was resolved, and the summer harvest just arrived.However, there were still many people heading south one after another, until May came, and finally stopped because of the hot weather.

But more people still flock to Qinzhou. After all, it is a dream country, but it is also a foreign country, and they have doubts in their hearts.

By October, Qinzhou had accepted more than 7000 people.At this time, the county officials in Qinzhou were a little worried. The labor problem had been solved, and there were even workers to build the city wall.But people are still flocking to Qinzhou, what should we do?
Wang Hua smiled and said, "Let's do serious things."

I have thought of it a long time ago, and I have long wanted to do it, but unfortunately there are no people, so there is no way to do it.

This is water conservancy, not ordinary water conservancy. Qinzhou is densely covered with rivers. In addition to the largest river, Qinjiang, there are also Nanliujiang, Maolingshui, Fengshui and other rivers.In future generations, these rivers are good things, but they are bad things now.

Unlike the rivers in the Central Plains, these rivers are usually better, but when they encounter heavy rains, they will cause flash floods and wash away all the low-lying places.Like Qinzhou, the north is surrounded by mountains in the northeast and northwest, the north and west are hills, the central part is low hills, basins and river valley alluvial plains, the terrain is flat, the east is also low hills, and the south is low hills and sea hills. There are also plains, especially the Qinjiang Triangle, where the land is very fertile.That is to say, starting from the central part, it is suitable for farming. Why are there so few people in such a large area that can be cultivated?

It is precisely because of the fear of mountain torrents that the places suitable for planting have become uninhabited lands, swamps and tidal flats.People ran to live on the mountain together, so it is called Xidong.Some officials saw it before, but they didn't have the financial resources, let alone the manpower to manage it. What can the [-] people in Qinzhou do?And the first way to build water conservancy is to expand the river so that the water flows quickly into the sea, so as to reduce disasters.How to expand, besides, there are mostly mountainous areas on both sides, unless they have the ability of Pangu to open up the world.

But this problem is no longer a problem for Wang Hua.

In November, due to preparations for the New Year, some workshops needed even more manpower, so Wang Hua sent 1 people there.But there are more people coming, and there are more than [-] people, which can be arranged, but there are still people coming one after another, which seems to be more than November.

So keep fine-tuning, other people will not distribute it, and labor will be exchanged for supplies.

Transfer to various rivers, take advantage of the current shallow water, dig rivers, encounter hilly areas, and use explosives at any cost.The raw land of the river is dug deep and wide, and the excavated silt is placed on both sides of the river to make dikes to enclose the tidal flats one by one.

And let people show them the black oily soil, and say that working now and giving you things is secondary. In the future, these enclosed areas will be distributed to you for cultivation without compensation.They were brought to the homes of local farmers to see their living standards.

Ordinary people belong to the disadvantaged group, but it does not mean that they are fools, as soon as they listen to it, they immediately understand the good and the bad.Moreover, the fields are forever and the workmanship is good. What if the workshop closes down?As a result, he was full of energy, and even when Wang Hua didn't need materials to exchange jobs, it was possible that his enthusiasm would not be weakened.

Now, all the officials in Qinzhou saw it.If the water conservancy project is completed, it is false to say that 100 million people will be settled in the circled fields, but there is no problem in the settlement of 10,000+ people.Plus the current population of Qinzhou.Think about it, how many people are there in Ruo Da's Guizhou and Jiaozhou?

All of them are full of enthusiasm and walk with high spirits.

Even the common people can see it, how can other state and county officials not see it?Hot eyes, but there is no way, no money, no one, not even explosives.

After connecting with each other, they came to Qinzhou together, found Wang Hua, and said shamelessly: "Inspector Wang, your Qinzhou has developed and the people have become rich, but it has hurt us."

Wang Hua knew what they were coming for, so she deliberately pretended not to know, and asked: "My envoys, Mo Ji, I have something to say, how did it hurt you?"

"Your Qinzhou is better now, but the lives of the people in our prefecture and county are still very poor, and the hearts of the people are unstable. If this continues, there may be future troubles. Now when we walk on the street, the people say that we are useless, and they still hold small knives. Gestures to us, so that we can't even sleep well, lest we not see the sun tomorrow."

"My envoys, if you are jealous, you are jealous. If you want my help, you want my help. Don't say it so seriously."

cough!cough!There was a dry cough.

"My envoys, it's not that I don't help. In the final analysis, it's all for the Tang Dynasty. Qinzhou is a place of the Tang Dynasty, and your prefectures and counties are also places of the Tang Dynasty. I came to Qinzhou not for political achievements, but for a pilot project. Use this point to promote The entire Lingnan construction. So it doesn’t matter if you have something to say, but don’t hide it.”

The faces of the dozen or so officials were very embarrassing, and Luzhou Inspector said: "The main thing is your water conservancy, can you also support our prefecture and county?"

Among all the surrounding states and counties, Luzhou has the strangest terrain. Qinzhou Bay belongs to Qinzhou, but both sides belong to Luzhou, and there is no land in the middle.Now no one cares about the sea area. Otherwise, all the sea areas that Qinzhou goes to sea will be under the jurisdiction of Luzhou. If Luzhou seals the sea, Qinzhou will face big problems.

Of course, if you give him courage, Luzhou officials don't dare.

Wang Hua said: "The construction of water conservancy is a good thing for the country and the people, especially the reclaimed fields can provide a large amount of arable land for the states."

Let's nod together.

"But have you ever thought about how much it costs to dredge a river. These materials are not created, but I bought them back. And the purpose of the reclaimed fields is for farming. The population problem is not a big problem, a large number of Refugees are coming, and some of them can be given to you at that time. But what do you do with the resettlement of these refugees, as well as the seeds, farm tools, and food that will take a long time until the harvest season? Don't look at me, Qinzhou is rich, and the construction The new city needs money to resettle the people and build water conservancy. This is not the main thing, the money for the two avenues is also allocated from above, and these two avenues are even a bottomless pit. If you don’t believe me, let me show you the account books.”

Not only is it not enough, but there is a lot of shortage, not including all the basic projects, and the food used for labor is all provided by Wang Hua for free.The main reason is that the tax and salt income of the Shibo Division were handed over to the imperial court. The agricultural tax was exempted for one year, and the commercial tax was quite a lot. However, in order to encourage merchants to come, the commercial tax was deliberately lowered.The biggest source is the sale of those two Fangshi stores.But it still cannot maintain all the current expenditures in Qinzhou.

But it doesn't matter, there are more people, the business is more developed, and the business tax has increased. Besides, only one of the two squares has been opened, and the other has not been opened. It is planned to sell in the coming year.Wang Hua still held thousands of acres of land and did not move.The recovery of these incomes is sufficient to cover all expenditures.

However, the various officials are not very clear about this inside story. They are hot-eyed, but they are indeed paid for.But I have so much money?

But Wang Hua let go, and said: "I can support it, but it must be planned in a unified way. Also, if I support it, the money can only be taken out of my personal pocket. If any of you are greedy, don't blame me for using it." This edict."

As he spoke, he took out Li Xian's imperial edict, with six words on it, and dealt with the matter urgently.

If Wang Hua dared to embezzle even Wang Hua's personal money, and the money was used to benefit the country and the people, Wang Hua used this vague right to kill them, and it would not be considered a violation of the system.Do you really treat Wang Hua as a governor of Xiazhou?

In fact, the officials of various states were also sweating a little, thinking to themselves, I just said, how could a servant go to a lower state to be the governor?It turns out that the real power is here.

After dispelling their greed, Wang Huacai discussed with them in partnership. The river should not be dredged section by section, or if it is not dredged, it will go a long distance, or even the entire river.It is mainly the Nanliu River in Luzhou and Lianzhou, the upper reaches of Zuoxi Youxi and Yushui in Cangzhou and Yongzhou.The main road of Yushui and the Duni River upstream, Wang Hua would not agree with anything, there is no way to agree, that move is a water conservancy project for the entire Li River Basin, unless the state operates it, even if the state operates it, it cannot be done in a year or two finished.

But even so, it is not a small project, and the actual benefits brought to the states are also unimaginable.One by one they left satisfied.

In fact, they didn't look for Wang Hua, but Wang Hua still looked for them.

Whether it is firecrackers, canned food, or sugar, they are all technical words, and they will leak out sooner or later.There are people imitating canned food now, but it is a pity that one important factor, boiled in boiling water, has been kept secret by the two Wang families, and they all failed in the end.But the time of this secrecy will not be too long.Besides, the wharf will never catch up with Guangzhou. Although it radiates to many states and counties in the southwest, they are all backward states and counties with a small population.Guangzhou is doing business in the Central Plains.Therefore, Qinzhou must develop its foundation. Only when Qinzhou and the surrounding states become rich and have a large population, although they cannot catch up with Guangzhou, they can still develop.

Because of this, among the two roads, the road to Yongzhou, Wang Hua, was built very wide, to see if this influence can be radiated to the Xiangjiang River Basin.

Therefore, not only should Qinzhou be rich and have more people, but also the surrounding states should have more people.Industry is impossible, and the only way to build water conservancy is to grab the fertile fields from the mouth of the flood.

So in the next few months, 28 people flocked, but they were scattered to various states and counties, and soon disappeared.But the people's farming is always limited, and the circled fields are very fast.Therefore, continue to shout about insufficient manpower.But this time the scourge is not Qinzhou alone.

Seeing that no one was plowing the plowed fields, people from other states and counties quietly came over and picked up farm tools.Seeing this situation, the state and county officials shyly sent their men to inform them that you are allowed to farm.But you have to go to the county government to make a note.

This problem is exacerbated by the wider perimeter.It's just that it has nothing to do with Wang Hua, and the officials of the states and counties are not Wang Hua, and the officials of other states are not afraid.First, I wrote a letter to protest, and then turned over the dirty things behind my buttocks.

After seeing these memorials, the monarchs and ministers in the Chang'an court were silent for a long time.Wang Hua made a lot of noise this time, and all the pick-ups were taken to Ezhou, Jiangling.It seems that many people have been taken over, why is the disturbance getting bigger and bigger?
Later, an official from the household department pointed out the reason and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

So many people have land to plant, which brings a lot of income to the court in a year.

But everyone's hearts became brighter, and Wang Hua might bleed again this time.

Not only the hemorrhage, but also the people who were transferred to Oceania cost more than 160 million yuan.But at this point, Wang Hua stopped.Because the population of Qinzhou has reached more than 19, it is in a moderate state and does not need much labor for the time being.So the settlements and food that welcomed the people were withdrawn everywhere, and the weather was hot.This group of refugees also temporarily stopped.

Although it cost money, Wang Hua was very happy.Because without this opportunity, it would take a lot of effort to transfer more than 20 people.Although the subordinates called Oceania a dream country when they encouraged the people, but it is not too much to call it a country based on the current population and output.

Li Xuejun once asked him a question, since this is the case, it is better to be more secretive, why did he pay so much money to the Wang family in Taiyuan?
That's 130 million yuan, how many things can you do with so much money?Like the original consolidation of several porcelain kilns, the annual income of tens of thousands of renminbi, at most 10,000+ renminbi, made Ruoda's Zheng family greedy.

Wang Hua replied that accounts cannot be calculated in this way.Without the help of the Wang family, these 5 people would not have been able to be transported out.At least [-] people were transported out.After [-] people arrive in Oceania, how much profit will they bring?With the addition of [-] more people, how many slaves can be safely controlled?How much income is this again.

Oceania is the base.If there is no Oceania, can there be today's ups and downs?

But today, Wang Hua has the confidence to build it into a real country.
