Mrs. Wang said, "No wonder there are busy everywhere, busy."
Fan Shuang added: "I only found out after checking the accounts in the past few days that the former county magistrates and officials and gentry in Miancheng were executed by the Black Armor Army, and their industries were sold. The prices were not high, but the official wanted
If you invest in a shareholding, you will have dividends every year, and there are additional conditions such as starting work and running immediately. You are not allowed to hoard or empty. For example, the tin mine in the back mountain, the new mine owners who bought it must recruit people to mine immediately, and the monthly quantity must be given.
The Yangshan Chamber of Commerce provides 2,000 kilograms of tin ore after rough refining. I checked and found that before the change of ownership, the mine only produced 800 kilograms per month. The new mine owner was under a lot of pressure, so he hired a lot of more people.
The mines have been working overtime recently.”
"When I went to the mine to check the accounts, I found that a small village had become a small village at the foot of the mountain, specializing in miner business, and there were many people there."
Mrs. Wang said strangely: "What are you doing? Yangshan wants to collect so many mines?"
"Yangshan Chamber of Commerce and Long Shenjun are both He Xiao's. They have to do business while fighting." Fan Shuang has been thinking hard these days, "But the front line is the most used money to capture cities and land.
At that time, the rear was still so extravagant, and Brother He didn’t know how many mountains of gold and silver there were in his hands, and he dared to spend money so fiercely."
Of course, the official and Yangshan also encourage private merchants to acquire unowned assets, especially bulk assets, employ more people and start more work. After all, the flash gold business cannot be completely managed by Yangshan, and Dragon God doesn’t have that much money to do.
Feed everyone.
Mrs. Wang asked about the wages and said, "So low?"
It is no exaggeration to say that hiring a long-term worker in Tianshui City is enough to hire four laborers here.
The artificial artifact of flash gold is really cheaper than imagined.
"It's no exaggeration to say that these people used to be able to eat in one bite, so the wages are already very kind in Miancheng. I'm looking at the accounts here, the wages are settled every three or five days, and there is no owing, so it's great
It's very good, so some people do it!" Fan Shuang smiled and said, "The Shining Golden Plain is different from the Yao Kingdom in the past. If the wages you pay for people are enough to support themselves, he can do it well; if he can let him go again
He can work hard to support his wife and children.”
Fan's father responded: "These people have to spend money when they make money, so the market goods in Miancheng are also lively, which is what we see now."
There is demand, there is trading, and there is circulation. Only when there is supply and demand are prosperous can the city be vibrant.
"He Xiao once spoke several times at the Yuanxiang Huigong, saying that the Shining Gold Rebellion was confined to poverty, and one poverty was born of all evil. As long as the common people had a livelihood and a living person had a way out, people's hearts would naturally be stable, and the disaster would be solved by half. At that time, there were still people.
He said he was talking about the truth, but it was hard to cure the stubborn disease." Fan Shuang exclaimed, "I didn't expect that He Xiao not only found the root cause of the disease, but also wanted to cure it. It was really a very human being."
The premise of living and working in peace is that people can make money; the premise of peace in all directions is that people have hope. Now He Xiao provides civilians with the opportunity to make money hard to stabilize the rear that the black armored army finally defeated.
To put it simply, as long as the people can have enough food and make money in the future, who is willing to rebel with their heads?
"If you don't say he is the reincarnation of the Dragon God, then you are naturally not a human." Mrs. Wang was puzzled, "If you want to send so many big jobs, there is not enough gold and silver. How can he get so much money?"
"Then I don't know." Fan Shuang shrugged, "But I looked at the records in the account book and there were several bulk goods that were directly traded with Xuanjing."
He is rich and generous.
Xuanjing is also a hard currency and can be used as currency, but the denomination is too large and ordinary businesses cannot be found. For example, a pound of medium-huang Xuanjing can currently be equivalent to 20,000 taels of silver, and at least 35,000 stones of grain can be bought.
"Also, when the Black Armor Army took down Miancheng, the county magistrate and several wealthy households were searched and beheaded, saying that they were doing evil and fish and meat. They copied a lot of money, and they all went to the public account, and the money for road construction was also obtained.
It comes out here.”
After talking about this, Fan's father's face was a little heavy: "I received a message in the office that the food from Miancheng transported from the west was intercepted by Guo Baiyu twice. This person is so lingering, facing the Dragon God
The jurisdiction is becoming more and more rampant. I see that the information received by the bureau has been getting, in just half a month, Guo’s army has become larger and larger. There are teams coming from other places and making a special trip to him.”
"When will the Black Armor Army take them away?" Mrs. Wang interrupted, "Don't the Black Armor Army specialize in defeating bad people? Our savior, isn't your friend named Tu the Black Armor Army?"
Mrs. Wang asked three questions in a row, silently silenced both the father and son.
Fan's father had no choice but to say: "The army's combat is not as simple as you think."
Fan Shuang touched her head: "It seems that Brother Tu didn't come with the main force."
"Ah? Just a few of them?" Mrs. Wang was disappointed, "What's the use of that!"
"I have tried it, but he refused to say it." Tu Shan said that he was here to do business when he first met him in the guest hall. "But the county magistrate is very respectful to him, and he often runs to the village."
Fan's father said, "When I went to Mian Township, two soldiers told me that Captain Tu took them to train troops. He also taught them how to listen to whistles, how to see gestures, and how to watch flags. Of course, the most important thing is how to kill people on the battlefield.
, How to support the teammates? They also said that killing enemies is like chewing tobacco. They choke once, choke twice, and can’t stop after three times."
"Training troops?" Fan Shuang understood, but her mood became heavier.
The soldiers of the Black Armor Army came to train the village soldiers, which was not a good signal in itself, and it means that the Dragon God Army would not come in a short period of time. If you want to resist Guo Baiyu, Miancheng could only rely on himself.
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!
Five days later, bad news came:
Guo Baiyu captured Tuocheng. That place was not far from Miancheng.
On the fifteenth day, Guo Baiyu conquered one village and one county in succession. His appetite seemed to be getting bigger and bigger. According to the description of the refugees who flocked to Miancheng, Guo's army seemed to be expanding more and more, and there were also appeared on the battlefield.
Strange monsters are hard to resist.
In those few defense battles, the military and civilians fought bloody battles, but the casualties were heavy and they were unable to make up for the situation.
The father and son of the Fan family couldn't understand that when Guo Baiyu was in Yao Kingdom and under Dan Zezhong, he was far from being so awesome. How could he feel like he was helping him after coming to the Shining Golden Plain?
The township troops from those prefectures and counties also retreated to the remaining cities, and the number of military and civilians in Miancheng increased sharply, and the atmosphere was also full of troops, which was very tense.
Everyone understands that Guo Baiyu will attack Miancheng sooner or later.
Give up fantasies and prepare for battle.
In response to the fear of the citizens, the official also worked hard to mobilize everyone:
Pick up your weapons and defend your home.
For the outside world, Miancheng seizes the time to build high walls and dig deep into the moat.
