Shannan County, once the most important pass in the north of Great Qin, has now become the territory of the Han Dynasty, from here to attack the Qin State led by He Lanxiong led by the Third Military Region has left here for more than ten days, but here is still very lively, countless ordnance materials are still gathered here, sent out every day, countless caravans are also rushing along the prairie to here, the Han merchants' sense of smell is always the keenest, every time the Han army lays down a place, the first to arrive is always the merchants. They were even much faster than the receiving officials sent by the Great Han.

After the war, the area was generally dilapidated, but at the same time, it was also a place where great business opportunities existed. The commerce of the Qin State, in recent years, has almost been completely destroyed by the blockade of the Han Dynasty, which in the eyes of the Han merchants, these places, is completely a virgin land, the first step, you can be the first to occupy the market, now the commercial competition of the Han Dynasty has reached a white-hot point, some small merchants even take great risks, has been following the army forward, of course, such a risk is also great, if the Han army is defeated, they can run nowhere to run.

However, it is obvious that the successive victories of the Han army over the years have given these Han merchants considerable confidence, although the county town of Shannan has not been taken for a long time, but countless merchants have flocked to it, and the people of Qin in the county town are in shock, and they do not know what the occupiers will do with them, but the merchants have already knocked on their door.

Renting a house, opening a shop, setting up a warehouse, first get the good shops in the county town, and then say, it is the minds of these merchants, and when everything settles down, and the policies of the Han Dynasty are implemented here one by one, the value of these shops on the street will immediately turn over and rise, for all this, these merchants are already familiar with the road, Shannan County is a little off, and the population is a little less. But it is also a county town, and discerning businessmen have discovered that Shannan County is a key point connecting the prairie and the land of Qin, and in the future, under the stimulation of the economic policy of the Han Dynasty, this may be the next Dayan County.

When the Qin people in the county towns smeared the faces of the women and children in the family with black ashes, hid them in hidden places as much as possible, and then opened the door in fear. They watched in amazement as the weather-faced guys waved stacks of brand-new silver tickets and shouted, "Make a price, I'll rent your house." ”

What the Han merchants were holding in their hands was actually the paper money of the Han Kingdom, not the silver stamps that the Qin people believed, but the Qin people, who were closed off from these news, did not know that the Han Empire had long since abandoned the direct circulation of gold and silver.

Surprised, but terrified, the Qin people trembled and offered a price, and these Han merchants who broke in did not bargain at all, but directly took out two documents from the bag and signed them. Pay on the spot.

The robbery and humiliation that the Qin people in the county town were worried about did not see it at all, but first rented out the house inexplicably and got a large amount of money, and then. The officials of the Han Dynasty came to the door one by one, and unlike the officials in their image who were arrogant and arrogant, these Han officials were quite kind. Holding a booklet, he whispered about the details of these people's families and registered them one by one. At the end, there was even a sack of grain to give.

The people of Qin in Shannan County are beginning to experience a baptism storm of inherent understanding in their minds, and the county town has undergone tremendous changes in a short period of time, a large number of caravans have poured into the county town, and after a simple renovation of the rented houses, countless goods will be piled up on the shop surface, and the people of the county town who are worried about their livelihood immediately found that they have become sought-after goods for a while, because the decoration of the house requires people, the unloading yard goods requires people, the merchants are coming, but the number of guys is insufficient, so they have to hire manpower, After these merchants were busy in the city, they were busy running to the market towns below the county town, which naturally required acquaintances as guides, and for a while, the labor costs rose and turned. Because there were not many people in Shannan County, and the war caused a considerable loss of population, in a short period of time, the labor cost in the county was almost the same as those super cities in the Han Kingdom. This made the people in Shannan County earn more money in a short period of time than they could have earned in a year.

The shortage of labor in Shannan County has reached an outrageous level, which makes the new county guard also very angry, because he can't hire people to renovate the city walls, houses, and streets, you know, when Helanxiong attacked Shannan County, but a hundred cannons bombarded the city wall, the city wall was blown to a pulp, and the army entered the city, and the general houses were not affected much, but important departments like the government were beaten to the bottom, and after the battle, Helanxiong took his army and continued to march to the interior. Leaving such a rotten beach to the officials who took over, how can it not give the newcomer a headache?

The point is that the government competes with the merchants, he can't do it, the government can't pay the labor fees given by the merchants, and the Han Empire is not like the previous country, which can be done by issuing an administrative order, everything has to be done according to the rules, which makes nearly two months pass, and the new county guard still has to live in the tattered and airy mansion to manage the government, and he hates it all day but has nothing to do.

Fortunately, as the news spread in Shannan County, some of the people who had fled returned to the county one after another, and the surrounding villagers also began to gather in the city, and the money in the city was easy to earn.

The influx of a large number of personnel has alleviated the employment crisis in the county guard's office, and the merchants are almost finished, labor costs have begun to fall, and now he can finally start to rectify the chaos in the county.

When Mingtai took Qin Yijian and a few other henchmen to step into Shannan County, what he saw was a hot scene, as if the city had become a construction site everywhere, a cart of garbage was pushed out of the city by a trolley, and then a cart of white ash and blue bricks were dragged into the city. And what made Mingtai even more impressed was the people who were still in tatters, but their faces were full of smiles.

Once upon a time, all he saw on the faces of the people of Qin was numbness and despair, such a happy smile from the heart, which he had hardly seen in recent years.

"Commander Ming, don't underestimate these workers, as far as I know, the silver they have earned in the past few months is only their income in the past few years, which is more than my salary!" Cao Tianci, who was in charge of receiving Mingtai, said with a smile: "There are job opportunities everywhere, but there are not enough people, so the salary is going up and down, making me feel like pushing a cart for a few days." Cao Tianci laughed and said, he was proud, because only in the Han Kingdom could he see such a vivid scene.

Mingtai was speechless, in his image, such a thing, as long as the government ordered it, it could summon countless people to work for free, and it was called labor service, and it was difficult to understand that the Han government would pay a lot of wages for this.

The houses on both sides of the street are now very different from the past in the image, the doors have been expanded, the windows have been more than doubled, and the shelves inside are full of dazzling goods.

The people crowded in the store to buy things are all ordinary villagers, and their identities can be seen from their clothes, not long ago they were the people of the Qin State, but now they took out the banknotes of the Han Dynasty from their arms with a smile on their faces, and took away those goods one by one.

"They have made a lot of money during this time, so naturally they have to treat themselves well, and now the best selling in the city is cloth, some small ornaments, and all kinds of meat." Cao Tianci introduced with a smile.

"It's not always as easy to make money as it is now, earn fast, spend fast, and have a hard time in the future!" Mingtai's voice was slightly sour.

"In our big Han, as long as you are diligent, you can always make money." Cao Tianci said. "There are a lot of opportunities to make money, those who have the ability and ideas to make a lot of money, and those who only have a handful of laborers do not worry about making a living. This is just the beginning, and it will get better and better in the future. ”

Mingtai walked forward silently, Cao Tianci also knew that it must not be easy to change this person's perception of the Han Empire at once, the policy pursued by the Han Empire, let alone Mingtai, is in the territory of the Han Dynasty, there are still different voices, and His Majesty is tolerant, not only allowing these people to beep blindly in the newspaper, but also to write an article to debate with them, in Cao Tianci's opinion, such a guy should be directly taken down as a traitor and a thief with the intention of subverting the government.

Mingtai stopped suddenly, his eyes looked straight at a place, Cao Tianci was slightly stunned, and followed his eyes to look over, at the corner of the street, there was a small stall, but it was selling cool skins, which was a specialty of the old Qin people, even in Shannan County, it was not common.

"Commander Ming is also hungry, why don't I invite you to finish eating Liangpi'er!" Cao Tianci said with a smile.

"Minister Cao also likes to eat this bite?" Mingtai was stunned and asked.

"It's not that I love this bite, but this thing is famous, to be honest, I don't eat much, but seeing the appearance of the commander, I want to taste it."

"Exactly, I want to taste the authentic old Qin Liangpi again, but I'm afraid it's not so easy." Mingtai was a little emotional.

Cao Tianci smiled, Mingtai wants to go to Xinqin, it can indeed be regarded as Guanshan Wanzhong, now Xinqin is constantly making small moves, but there is no need for the Han to tear up with them now, doesn't Wang Jian want Mingtai, just give it to him, Mingtai left Xianyang, the blow to the current Qin regime is obvious, as for the future, Cao Tianci does not believe that Xinqin can still go to the sky, after all, over the years, for the long-term arrangement of Xinqin, the Han has never stopped.
