I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 311, Hu Shang

Not a few days after Xu Wei got married, he started working normally. Now the Fujia Army is very busy. In the past few years, Bingzhou has resettled more than 600 million victims of the disaster in the hands of the Fujia Army, and relocated more than one million Hu people. Bingzhou, with a population of only 200 million, has skyrocketed to nearly [-] million. Such a large population has put Bingzhou under tremendous pressure.

The mountainous area of ​​Bingzhou is not suitable for reclamation. Many victims of the disaster have joined the engineering team and rely on the help of Bingzhou to do basic projects for a living. It can be said that the Rattan Army is supporting these people.

After Youzhou was conquered, the Tengjia Army continued to transfer the population to Youzhou. The engineering team in the hands of the Tengjia Army exceeded one million people. People from here came to Youzhou to build Youzhou's tracks, roads, and reclaim new land. fields, build new cities and ports, and become workers for new projects.

It is precisely because of the efforts of these workers that Youzhou has been taken over by the Tengjia Army for more than half a year, and it has been changing with each passing day, and it was discovered very quickly!
The Youzhou area is vast and open, with relatively flat terrain and many plain areas. Of course, due to the sparse population, these plains are wasteland, but such land can be reclaimed in time.

The migration of millions of people from Bingzhou has reduced the pressure on the population of Bingzhou, but these million people cannot fill the vast Youzhou, especially the Liaodong area, which is only slightly smaller than Bingzhou, but it does not even have a million people It can be said that the city is a wilderness, and there are even more Hu people around than Han people. You must know that this is the scope of the three eastern provinces of later generations, the granary of the Celestial Dynasty. As long as it is developed, it is easy to raise a population of tens of millions, so The current direction of the development of the Tengjia Army, since Youbeiping County has gradually moved towards the Liaodong area, strives to move more than half of the population of Bingzhou to Liaodong!Reduce the population pressure of the merged state.

Of course, due to the lack of food, the Tengjia Army now migrates most of the population in areas with a high degree of development such as Yuyang, and the Liaodong area can only be developed after the Tengjia Army does not lack food.

The Tengjia Army does not restrict the herdsmen on the grasslands from entering and leaving the Han land. The horse market that has been practiced by the Han for hundreds of years has basically been abolished. In Xu Wei's view, the so-called horse market is just to enrich some profiteers. No matter how much change it brings to the border situation, it will not bring much benefit to the people of the two ethnic groups on the border. Even these border businessmen are colluding with cholera giants inside and outside. Simply abolish it. In Xu Wei's view, it is simply sick to do business and divide the territory.

Now the herders on the grasslands have the same status as the Han people. They can freely enter and leave the territory of the Han people, and naturally they can also freely leave the market like the people of the Han people. Naturally, there is no need for a special horse market.

Ever since the whole of Youzhou was occupied by the Rattan Armor Army, Yuyang City has become the favorite market for the herdsmen in the eastern part of the grassland. Ironware, daily necessities, and food can be said to be the same as Mayi Market, but there are two more specialties in Yuyang that are not even available in Mayi, one is salt.

Since Xu Wei came up with the technology of drying salt, the Tengjia Army has established several drying salt farms along the coast of Youzhou. These salt farms allowed the entire Youzhou to produce 10 shi of refined salt per month during the peak period. With the expansion, this number is still increasing. The refined salt in the salt field can meet the needs of the entire Tengjia Army, and even the needs of the entire grassland herdsmen.The low price of three cents per catty caused a sensation in the entire grassland, which was more than ten times cheaper than the original price. A large number of Hu merchants came to Yuyang to buy refined salt and transport it to other places in the grassland.

In addition to refined salt, dried salted fish in Yuyang is also the favorite product of herdsmen who come to Yuyang. Dried salted fish can not only be used as food but also used as table salt. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone, and the price of dried salted fish is also high Very close to the people, most of the herdsmen can afford it, and many herdsmen store dried salted fish for the winter!
So when Xu Wei came to Yuyang Market, there were people coming and going, bustling, and very lively. In terms of the flow of people, it was not inferior to the market in Mayi.

Officials in Yuyang City told Xu Wei that local businessmen stopped going south because of the Dahan’s complaint order, and businessmen from the Central Plains also went to Youzhou and Bingzhou, because the Tengjia Army pacified the desert and it was risky to do business on the grassland. Greatly reduced, plus there is wool in the grass, such a highly profitable specialty, merchants began to operate grassland trade routes, and the number of merchants in Mayi and Yuyang increased sharply, and the market was overcrowded and merchants gathered.

The arrival of some businessmen has accelerated the material exchange between the desert and the Fujia Army, and at the same time increased the taxes on the Fujia Army's site. Now the city tax on the Fujia Army's site has become the third largest on the Fujia Army's site. tax.

Xu Wei looked at the bustling market, the crowds were surging, and there were all kinds of people. Xu Wei could even see many white people in later generations. It is very difficult to see white people in this era. White people in the Han territory , Either they came from the Western Regions thousands of miles away, or they were Ding Lingren from Beihai.

That is to say, the white people that Xu Wei saw were all caravans who came to the territory of the Rattan Armor Army from thousands of miles or even tens of thousands of miles away. It can be said that Shang was close to death. Being able to come to Yuyang requires not only strength, but also luck.

A gem seller saw Xu Wei yelling and hugging, thinking that Xu Wei was a big man and said, "My lord, do you want gems? The gems here are brighter than the sun and more beautiful than the rainbow!"

Xu Wei looked at the businessman who looked like a white man in later generations and asked, "Are you from the Western Regions?"

Hu Shang nodded and said: "I am from Wusun! Sir, your status is so high, only these gems in my hand can be worthy of you!"

Xu Wei didn't care when he saw some sparkling diamonds, but he thought that Zhang Ning should like these sparkling diamonds, so he asked, "How do you sell these two diamonds?"

"10 yuan a piece!" Hu Shang said happily, diamonds are the most difficult to sell among his gems, and rich people don't like these transparent stones.

He was doing business in Luoyang City, but he met Dong Zhuo's warning order. A native of the Western Regions like him naturally became a first-class fat pig. All the goods in his shop and manor in Luoyang City were robbed. With these gems, he fled to the territory of the Rattan Armor Army.

Xu Wei took out a wool cloth ticket and said, "This is a wool cloth ticket worth 20 renminbi. You can take these cloth tickets to a bank to exchange for 20 renminbi!"

Under the promotion of Xu Wei, woolen cloth tickets are worth 1000 yuan, which can be described as innocent. Now such woolen cloth has spread all over the territory of the Rattan Armor Army, and merchants also like to receive these woolen cloth tickets, because The value of woolen cloth is high, even if they don't lose money, they can make a lot of money with these woolen cloths!
