Xu Ping stood at the top of Huichuan City, looking at the brigade of people winding north under the city, with a calm face and silent.

Since the weather cleared, the Song army relied on the newly established military camp of Zulichuan Valley to continue to attack the strongholds of the Dangxiang people. In less than ten days, Dangxiang completely shrank into Huizhou City, and the strongholds west of Huizhou were completely occupied by the Song army. After controlling the surrounding areas of Huizhou, Xu Ping ordered all the people and households in this area to move to Fengzhou.

The Song army did not need to rely on civilians to provide war supplies. It would be difficult for them to distinguish from the tribal army of Dangxiang when they stayed in Huizhou, and it would easily cause trouble. They could not distinguish between military and civilians and kill indiscriminately. This would not only cause the enemy's rebound, but also affect the morale of their own side. However, Dangxiang is the whole people who are soldiers, and leaving civilians behind is a hidden danger. It would be better to move them all. Anyway, there are a lot of barren land in this era and there is a shortage of people everywhere. Moving them to other places, starting from scratch, the old order is completely disrupted, and it is also easy to manage. It is easy to paint white paper, but it is easier to start from scratch.

Fan Xiang stood beside Xu Ping, looked at the crowd passing outside the city, and said in a deep voice: "Master, if you move these people away, they will be resentful, and the court will also spend a lot of money and food. Why is it hard for you? If you are worried that they will follow the thief, you will be killed. If you want them to serve the people, you will set up a fort and set up an official to manage it. What is the benefit of moving thousands of miles away like this?"

"Of course there are benefits. Although Fengzhou is in the mountains, it has many fertile land and is lacking in farming. After they move there, they can reclaim fertile land and protect the place for the court. The only inconvenience is actually the money and grain spent on the road. But why do we cherish this little money and grain? It is just to accumulate it slowly. There are countless benefits of reclaiming land in Fengzhou, which is for the sake of future generations. Tongzong, I ask you, Qinzhou has been a place where Han people have cultivated for generations since the Qin and Han dynasties. Why does the more people grow? Even the original Han people learned to walk into the Hu people."

Fan Xiang said: "The Central Plains is weak, and Fan Hu will attack here first. People here will inevitably learn about Hu customs and speak Hu language."

Xu Ping shook his head: "Not only that, Tongzong, there is another reason that this area is sparsely populated. In any densely populated areas, it is often occupied by the Han people, and it is also a place where the imperial court can firmly defend it. Once the population is sparse, even if the Han people originally lived, they often learn the habit of Fanhu. Why is this? We don't go into it in depth. Anyway, this is the case in the world now. Therefore, it is easy for us to concentrate the people and the officials to set up, and it is easy for the imperial court to manage it."

With a concentrated population, the management cost of the government will be reduced, the culture will spread rapidly, and it will be relatively open to civilization. Under the influence of the strong Central Plains civilization, it will be rapidly Chineseized. What is difficult is the desolation that is hiking in the mountains, which is troublesome to manage.

After chatting with Fan Xiang on the top of the city for a while, Xu Ping asked casually: "What about the thieves now? It has been a few months since they printed banknotes. Can everything be as usual?"

"The manager asked about this matter, but it was hard to say. Zhang Yuan was able to make a fortune in the foreign realm, but it was not entirely due to luck. He printed banknotes by himself. He really gathered money for the construction of the Tiandu Mountain South Courtyard for Haozhe. Now, there has not been any major chaos in the Dangxiang territory. Instead, the market has flourished a lot, which is a strange thing."

Xu Ping frowned: "If you print paper money like a thief, you will be like a tree without roots and water without source. How can wealth be printed out of thin air? You said that their market is very prosperous, but have you ever thought about why there is no one?"

"Yibeizhi's opinion is nothing more than that until now, the market will flourish when the people who received the banknotes are really rich. The businessman said before that printing and issuing banknotes will revitalize the money that was originally on the market, but now the thieves are thinking that it is at this stage."

Xu Ping thought for a while and nodded: "What you said makes sense, so continue."

Fan Xiang said: "The wise always talks about the government doing things. No matter what they do, they will receive benefits and spend money. Now the thieves think they have seen the benefits of banknotes, but they have not found the capital they have to pay. The method used by Zhang Yuan to issue banknotes is to use Hao thieves to the big clans, and then to the small clans, spread them layer by layer. Among them, Hao thieves have gained the greatest benefit. The rich chiefs of all major clans are secondly. When they arrive at the small clans below, they are already mixed and may not necessarily get any benefits from it. As for the ordinary households below, they can only bleed and cut flesh. This is like a big fish eating small fish. The shrimps can only eat soil, and the ordinary households in the thieves can only eat soil. It is only a few months since the printing and issuing banknotes to the point of eating small fish. The upper class of the thieves have seen the benefits, and the lower class has not seen the disadvantages, so the market is prosperous."

Xu Ping nodded repeatedly. What Fan Xiang said was indeed reasonable. He had ignored this before. The transmission of any policy always takes time. Before forcing a large number of people at the bottom to go bankrupt, the disadvantages of issuing paper money cannot be revealed. Issuing paper money is a poisonous tonic pill, but now I only see the effect of supplementation, but the poison has not been released, which will naturally stimulate the economy of the Dangxiang. The thirst quenching can really quench thirst, and the poison is always after quenching thirst. Although the prosperity caused by the passing of paper money is false and is just a flash in the pan, it always seems that there is a period of prosperity.

After understanding this truth, Xu Ping said: "It seems that Hao Thief forced a dose of chicken blood by printing and issuing paper money, and he could last for a while. At least this winter, he could hold on. The war was extremely anxious."

Xu Ping originally thought that Dangxiang issued paper money, which would soon cause economic collapse. He used the war to put enough pressure on them to speed up the process. However, he did not expect that the good effect of printing paper money would be immediate. It would take some time for the bad places to take effect, and Yuan Hao's strength would be enhanced in a short period of time. He wanted to use summer to fight Huizhou firmly, but after the autumn, he would fight with Dangxiang for the Tiandushan area and attack with all his might. It seems that this strategy is still a little problem.

With a wry smile, Xu Ping was also helpless. The battle to destroy the country was not so easy. Dangxiang has been in this area for nearly three hundred years, and has long been deeply rooted and lush leaves. He can also use the animal husbandry resources of the northern grasslands to make use of the surrounding geographical advantages.

After thinking about this problem, he no longer had to worry. Xu Ping asked Fan Xiang: "Since that's the case, we will slowly plan for it. If we want to do big things, we should not be anxious. By the way, how are Tong Dalang and Jian Yuchi in the foreign realm? They help us do things, so that we should not let the thieves see the flaws, and they should be suspicious."

Speaking of these two people, Fan Xiang laughed: "It is also confusing to do things for foreigners. Tong Dalang and Bing Yuchi, in our opinion, if there is such a way to transport all kinds of goods to foreign countries, it will inevitably be suspicious. But foreigners don't think so. They just say that these two people have the ability and have their own way, and regard them as guests everywhere. Now the two are earning mountains of gold and silver, and live a life like gods. Even the princes and princes of foreigners have to give them some face. It's not strange that the master said it's strange?"

Xu Ping thought for a while, but couldn't figure out the way Dangxiang people did, and they smiled and shook their heads together. In his opinion, Tong Dalang and Bing Yuchi must be very suspicious in Dangxiang. If there was such a person in Qinzhou, he would have sent someone to find out all his eighteen generations of ancestors. But Dangxiang people didn't think about this at all. The one who could make money was a hero. It was too late for the people in the city to curry favor with the two. Who dares to say that they might be a master of Song Dynasty and don't want to live? The master should be to touch the military information and help people make money.
