Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 390 Population!population!
The bank has the support of all the people, and the low loan price has moved many people, praising that this is the royal demeanor, and never competes with the people for profit.

The only ones who are unwilling are probably those nobles and aristocratic families who lend usury, but in the face of the general trend, if they are unwilling, they can only swallow their anger.

The wars in the Western Regions were endless. Under Feng Daiwen's suggestion, Qiuci and Yanqi came forward to buy a large number of prisoners, whether they were young and strong, or women and children. Notify the Western Regions, open a mutual market, use weapons, clothing, frosting sugar, and canned food to exchange cattle and sheep.

If you want to say what makes the most money, of course it is war, selling weapons and equipment. In the previous war, countless trophies were confiscated, all of which were iron. to the Western Regions.

Of course armor can’t be sold, but there is no problem with bamboo armor. It has good defense, but it is easy to break, and it also attracts insects. There are few bamboos in the Western Regions, so repairing and replacing armor pieces is also a problem. Even if those small countries buy them, they can still earn parts later. money.

As for the cotton clothes, I took out some clothes made of low-quality cotton, which are also very good warm items for the severe winter in the Western Regions. The textile workshops in Shuofang and Chang'an have been uninterrupted throughout the year. Part of it is supplied to soldiers and common people, but not many are actually exported.

Not to mention saturation in the country, at least most people have clothes, which can be transported in large quantities, and can be sold after autumn. Many people are still willing to buy one or two for their soldiers.

Because when Li Ke and Li Tai came, they brought a lot of canned food and milk powder, just to improve the food for their own people.

The subsequent workshops will be able to allow people in the Western Regions to eat by themselves. The best thing about the Western Regions is that they are a single country with a small population. Gaochang is already a big country with a population of only about [-], not to mention other small countries. Therefore, for food The relative demand is smaller.

The use of greenhouses to grow vegetables can fully meet the needs of the three countries, and if you save a little, you can sell some of them.

Occupying Gaochang, together with Kucha and Yanqi, has another advantage. Using these places to grow cotton not only has high yields, but also good quality, and the land used is also mountainous and slope land that did not produce much food.

Using the method of interplanting, one season of cabbage is first planted, and then cotton is planted. Pumpkins, golden melons, and winter melons can also be planted around the cotton field. With the guidance of the hardworking Datang people, the land is used to the maximum extent.

"Husband, I want to build a perfume workshop in Gaochang, what do you think?" Guang'an picked up the tea, handed it to Feng Daiwen, and asked gently.

"Of course you can. Anyway, there are so many people in the mansion. You can take them to do it together. Let the guards in the mansion help. It's enough to gather some women and children." Feng Daiwen took the tea, put it on the table, and pulled Guang An to sit beside him, apologizing looked at her and said.

"Hee hee! I already know that my husband is the best." Guang'an said with a smile, and Yaya and Aomei were also very happy when they heard their conversation.

"I'm sorry for my husband. I brought you here and I don't have much time to accompany you. I'm so sorry for keeping you bored in this small place all day!" Feng Daiwen looked at the three happy people, and also felt that they could find something they like, And feel happy.

"With my husband by my side, it's better there, at least it's better than staying in Chang'an." Guang'an leaned on Feng Daiwen's chest like a kitten, pushing his head hard, showing a satisfied smile.

"However, there are too few flowers here now. We can build a workshop first, and then plant a large number of roses. In only half a year, there will be a lot of materials.

In addition, the husband will inform the Western Regions to buy a large number of fresh or dried petals. " Feng Daiwen stroked Guang'an's hair and explained to her.

"Thank you, husband. I'm hotheaded for a while, and I don't know how to start, so you should think about it." Guang'an stretched out his hand to hook Feng Daiwen's neck, and kissed him forcefully on the face.

Su Dingfang returned to Chang'an and brought back the news of the conquest of Gaochang. Although the people were quite proud, the response was not strong. Instead, the aristocratic family and the merchants were very happy. They still need military escorts, and they are worried about the Turks, Tuyuhun, and horse thieves from the Western Regions. Now that the entire road leading to the Western Regions is free of enemies, even if there are two groups of robbers, they are not the opponents of the caravan's own guards.

But now the caravan has received another mandatory order. Each caravan must transport some grain to Gaochang according to its size. Of course, some caravans will also transport some other materials, it depends on how the government arranges.

Although it was a mandatory order, all the caravans did not complain at all, and they all carried it out in a well-regulated manner, and sometimes they even exceeded their quota. They knew the benefits of having a strong motherland.

Chang'an City in August was still shrouded in scorching sun. More than 100 people including Qu Zhisheng were escorted to Beijing. Li Shimin was still very happy to destroy such a small country. Qu Zhisheng was granted a idle job, a title of prince, found a mansion, and locked it up. Unless there is a big celebration in his life, he won't have to come out.

Li Shimin read Feng Daiwen's secret performance carefully. He knew that there were large coal mines in the Western Regions, and he was more determined to control the Western Regions. He also decided to increase his support. Regarding Feng Daiwen's words, the former Western Turkic Territory, Fuyun County has iron mines that are not inferior to western Liaoning. Although the mountain is jealous, it is really powerless to develop.

Population has always been an important condition restricting Datang, and it is also determined to take a good rest for a few years, and there will be no large-scale wars abroad.

Good things seem to like to come in pairs. Liu Rengui opened up the sea route to Tianzhu, brought a fleet of more than ten ships, and returned with a full load of gold, silver, gems, and grain. What he paid was only porcelain, frosting sugar, and silk. Tea, these are deeply loved by the nobles of Tianzhu.

This is also the first time that such a large Tang caravan has entered Tianzhu, which is far beyond the comparison of those land merchants before.

Liu Rengui found three cities along the coastline, and sold the supplies on board. He kept Feng Daiwen's teachings in mind, bought all the food that could be purchased, and communicated with the three cities. After a while, There will be more goods coming in, which can be handed over to them as agents, but they need to buy food, as much as possible, and there is no upper limit.

The Tianzhu people were a little cautious at first, but they were terrified when they saw the mountain-like steel battleship on the seashore in the distance. This was beyond their imagination. The smallest ship was bigger than their largest ship. It will take a few more laps.
