Fighting a war is not a simple matter, and after Wang Lanling announced that he would build a fortress on the border of Shanzhou, all kinds of troublesome things came.

"County magistrate, there are a lot of businessmen running on the banks in the city, and now more and more businessmen want to take out the money."

Zhao Liangyan reported on the affairs of the finance department, he is now the manager of the tax department, and his main work every day is tax and bank account issues.

Wang Lanling was prepared and said: "It's okay, the more times like this, the more you have to be calm, you don't need persuasion, and don't interfere and excuse yourself." ”

"They can take as much as they want, and as long as the bill is genuine, then return the money they have deposited to them."

"In order to deal with this kind of thing, I have saved a lot of money in the bank in Lanling County, and after the people who are waiting to see calm down, the business will gradually improve."

Zhao Liangyan said: "I'm afraid that these people will run away after taking out all the money." ”

Wang Lanling said with a smile: "The money itself is theirs, we are only temporarily kept, although some businessmen are ready to expect that they will not be able to get the money back, but if we really do this thing, we will lose our trust in the future." ”

Zhao Liangyan said: "They don't believe in us, there is no way, even if it is the Yanlong Kingdom, the court and the government also turn their faces and do not recognize people, and there are often people who borrow money and do not pay it back, and the credit there is much worse than ours." ”

No world is worse than a bad world.

It's even harder to do business outside, and there are institutions like banks, but you see that after the world is in chaos, how many people dare to keep their money in the bank?

As Zhao Liangyan said, even if Wang Lanling eats a few greedy money, there is still a steady stream of businessmen who choose this relatively less bad place.

Wang Lanling said: "You are used to the thinking of making a lot of money. ”

"But it's true, it's not a bad thing to be a little arrogant, pay attention to moderation, and be able to do what is trustworthy and convenient, as long as it's within the rules, what's the harm in being a little more considerate?"

A big country is different from a small country, and in general, Wang Lanling also needs to let his subordinates know what a big country thinking is.

"It's not that those businessmen can't move, but if they don't have to, don't move."

Zhao Liangyan asked respectfully: "Then when can you move?" ”

Wang Lanling thought for a while and said, "When they tried to convert money into power, they tried in vain to get involved in and influence our ruling power. ”

Zhao Liangyan quickly said: "Yes! What happened outside would never happen in Shanhai County, and if those merchants dared to hoard and coax food and materials and get involved in our factories and farms, they would definitely not spare them! ”

The best example of this is Blackwater County, where the businessmen swelled to the point of daring to get involved and discredit intellectuals and petty officials.

Shanhai County is only a place to make money, and Wang Lanling does not allow the children of foreign merchants to work in factories and farms, nor does he accept the children of these people as soldiers.

In the past, these businessmen thought that this was nothing, but when the promotion system in Lanling County was exposed, many businessmen thought about how to take a detour to send their children to the factory.

"Food is not a problem, our logistics system is basically cars and horse-drawn carriages, relying on the road system, there will be much less loss on the road."

"In the past few years, we have bought a lot of grain from outside, and we have also collected a lot of our own grain, and after opening a base there, we will engage in soilless cultivation and grow some vegetables to eat."

"Food and meat are provided from the rear, and in any case they must be full."

Zhao Liangyan nodded, he has also watched Shanhai County develop little by little over the years, and he has an impression of many things.

Wang Lanling works in the fields every year, and all the farmland in the plains of Shanhai County is also mechanized, while the people's own fields are in some places that are not suitable for mechanized planting.

There are actually a lot of fields in Shanhai County, and if Wang Lanling hadn't used some good places to build factories, towns and roads, the arable area would have only increased.

Even so, in the past five years, the output has been higher and higher year by year.

There are also places in Jinshanli, as well as places in Tianhuo County and Paradise Island, all of which have begun to produce large-scale.

With current production, there is no problem in feeding 10 million people.

After the population increases, it will not be a problem for the county to feed one or two hundred million people with more than 300,000 square kilometers of land.

The biggest logistical problem is the problem of ammunition, and the weapons and ammunition currently in Lanling County are not too much.

"The munitions factory can be done step by step, and the arms sales to the outside world will also remain the same."

Zhao Liangyan asked: "If the people of Shanzhou buy our weapons and armaments, how will they deal with it at that time?" ”

"Sell!" Wang Lanling said decisively: "If they are willing to buy it, they will sell it!" ”

Zhao Liangyan showed a puzzled look, "Will this affect the overall situation, when the Shanzhou people use our weapons to mutilate our soldiers, that will not be good." ”

Wang Lanling said: "It's different, the current weapon configuration determines that you can only fight a protracted war and a war of attrition, don't think that the machine gun can be one person against ten thousand troops, that was before." ”

Zhao Liangyan and his gang said: "Can this still be fake? The bullets fired from the machine gun before killed tens of thousands of people! ”

Wang Lanling shook his head, "So, that was before, after the power of the machine gun was known to everyone, do you think there are still people who are stupid to play collective charge and send people to the head?" ”

Zhao Liangyan was stunned, he had never considered this problem, in his cognition, the machine gun was a big killer!

Wang Lanling continued: "I said a long time ago that when machine guns appear, the number of casualties on the battlefield will drop in a straight line, maybe after a few months of fighting, the number of dead and wounded may be hundreds. ”

Zhao Liangyan thought for a while, "You mean, if you fight in the future, fewer and fewer people will die?" ”

Wang Lanling shook his head, "No, I think there will be more and more, the number of dead and wounded is not just killed by guns, the number of people in the rear who died due to massacres and population destruction will be more and more." ”

"I don't know the real number of people in Muzhou, but I dare to say that the soldiers and civilians who have died in several counties in Muzhou because of the war in recent years are more than 50 times the number of dead and wounded on both sides of the two wars!"

Wang Lanling sighed, "If there is really a fight, there will be problems within them." ”

Fighting costs money, farmers need to transport grain, they will pull strong men and collect taxes on grain, and at the same time, a group of bandits in armor is not a good thing for the local people.

The war is chaotic, and it is basically linked to thousands of miles of uninhabited people.

The prosperity of the dynasty can still be suppressed, but now the empire is rotten terribly, and the internal problems are getting more and more serious.

Once there is chaos outside, then the population of Shanhai County will explode at an extremely fast rate!
