Chapter 267: Long-term Thinking (I)

It has been a month since the migration from Xiyuan City to Lingyue Mountain, and during this time, the vigorous construction and cultivation have also come to an end, and the housing problem of the existing people has finally been basically solved. In this way, it has been four months since the beginning of preparing for the migration, and I have to say that the efficiency of this era is still very slow.

Fortunately, Zhu Xiaobao has demarcated a large area of cultivated land at the beginning, and has also improved the soil quality, and now the first batch of grain crops is about to be harvested. But here are some sorghum, coarse grains such as beans, and rice and so on. The rice of the Great Xia Kingdom was basically produced in the fiefdoms of King Wen and the Seven Princesses. But with your own food crops, you have a bottom in your heart. This is the most gratifying place for the nineteenth princess.

Now the most headache for Zhu Xiaobao is that the population is still too small, now there are only 30,000 civilians under his jurisdiction, and the number of troops is more than 70,000, this ratio is definitely abnormal, although the troops are often involved in the much-needed labor, but Zhu Xiaobao still feels that the number is too small, and the half of Lingyue Mountain they are now renting should have at least two or three hundred thousand people to form a normal virtuous circle.

But since the Seventh Princess completely controlled Xiyuan City, it was difficult for the ordinary people there to escape again, and all the city gates were checked very tightly, just for fear that the common people would flee! Some people had to flee from the westernmost desert, and there were very few people who could cross the desert and then flee to Lingyue Mountain, and most of them died in the desert. But that's it, there are still seven or eight thousand people who have found Lingyue Mountain one after another, which makes the nineteenth princess very moved, these people actually want to have a place where they can live in peace.

Lingyue Mountain originally had more than 100,000 people, these people were called subordinates by the female warriors, these people's main job is to dig iron and stone mines, and some are grazing, and the north of Lingyue Mountain is a large area of grassland, which is the way Lingyue Mountain survives. Originally, the Lingyue people migrated from the Western Turks, and their living habits were more like nomads. Therefore, there are a lot of cattle and sheep in Lingyue Mountain, and there is an inexhaustible supply of game in the forest in the west.

It's just that the meat they need has to be purchased from Lingyue Mountain. Because Duchenne's farm is just getting started, those chicks are almost ready to be eaten! Other cattle, sheep, pigs and other domestic animals are still early!

And those who got the arable land and signed the agreement also began to feel the benefits of the package production to the household, and the necessary food was handed over, and the rest was enough for their daily consumption, plus their own free-range chickens and ducks and other poultry, there was actually a lot of surplus, which made them very supportive of Zhu Xiaobao's agreement from the beginning.

Many people have also asked for more arable land. was rejected by Zhu Xiaobao, he was also groping to accumulate experience, and he didn't dare to do it too extremely, if he really couldn't pay the taxes and grain, what should he do? Therefore, any provision must be tested by time to prove its reasonableness! Although a large area of land is idle now, Zhu Xiaobao believes that it will not be long before it will be fully utilized as the population increases.

In fact, Zhu Xiaobao also made a very mistake, that is, the houses he built for those ordinary people are still townhouses

As a result, when the land lease agreement was signed, no one wanted to live there. People can live directly in a simple shed in the field, and they can also raise some poultry, and when they wake up, they can go to the field, and they can eat and sleep after their work, and they don't have to go so far to live in a row of houses, which is not practical at all, and they can hear everything next door. It's not like you're in your own shed, where there's hardly any people around, even if it's open!

In desperation, Zhu Xiaobao's conjoined houses had to be arranged for the women's barracks, but fortunately, this problem was discovered early, otherwise it would have been really bad.

"Alas! Ignorance, backwardness! Why can't they accept such an advanced and civilized way of life? Zhu Xiaobao shook his head helplessly, and now the bathroom and toilet that he is most proud of are basically used by the women's barracks. Those farmers are not interested at all, although every family has issued a bathing ticket, and people just bring their wives to see the freshness, and then they don't come anymore, in their opinion, it is better to wash directly in the river!

However, Zhu Xiaobao has set up an area in the upper reaches of the river, and it is strictly forbidden to bathe and wash clothes, because the domestic water is collected from the upper reaches of the river!

Suddenly in charge of such a large area, Zhu Xiaobao must also slowly adapt. However, there is also something that makes Zhu Xiaobao happy, that is, several of his factories have been completed and put into operation, and are now divided into a wine factory, a paper factory, a soap factory, an iron factory, and a special laboratory for him. The area has expanded several times compared to before, and the manpower has also doubled, in addition to the old people in the original Cave Heaven Blessed Land, there are many people who have come from Ye Qinghong, and they are all more trustworthy people.

Now that the first batch of sorghum has been harvested, it will soon be ready to produce the burnt knives that have been cut off. And the production of toilet paper has already begun, and now the toilet paper has begun to be backlogged, because the price has not been negotiated with the seventh princess.

Since moving out of Xiyuan City, the Nineteen Princesses and Zhu Xiaobao have unanimously decided not to supply at the same cost price as before. The Seventh Princess can still be the general agent of Southeast County, but the price is not the original price, because the original price can't make too much money at all, and most of the profits are made by the Seventh Princess!

In fact, since the two sides parted ways in Xiyuan City, they have not really turned their faces, and they have always maintained correspondence, because the seventh princess also found that she couldn't do without those high-end goods, and she had drunk up the burning knives there in the past two months, and now a jar of burnt knives has been fried to no two gold, and the best burnt knives have been quarreled to thirty taels of gold a jar, and it is still priceless!

What makes the seventh princess even more depressed is that without the salt and brine of Zhu Xiaobao, even tofu can't be eaten, this will be the most fatal thing, now many people have become accustomed to all kinds of dishes made by tofu, and suddenly there is no more, the people of Southeast County are full of complaints, which makes the seventh princess a little happy, fortunately she did not kill the nineteen sisters, otherwise I am afraid that there will be no tofu to eat in this life!

This point Zhu Xiaobao did was very interesting, and it didn't take long for people to send the salt brine, because he didn't want the people in the world to be implicated, which was a bit too much! Therefore, the seventh princess and the nineteenth princess still exchanged letters frequently, of course, discussing those goods

trading issues.

"Xiaobao, in fact, this price is already very high, our current output has increased a lot, there is no need to set the price so high!" The nineteen princesses are already a little annoyed, and now Zhu Xiaobao is holding on to the price, and they must exchange it for food. This made the nineteenth princess a little puzzled.

"Humph! When it really hits the end, if you have money, you may not be able to buy food, and besides, we are short of food now, so we must let the Seventh Princess exchange it for food! Zhu Xiaobao said very resolutely.

"Hey! Dead money fan, our toilet paper is almost stacked now, and you are still haggling here? Wu Yue also said on the side, she still stood on the side of the nineteenth princess, hoping that Zhu Xiaobao could relax and be able to cash out immediately!

"Whew! I'd rather cut production than cut it! You know, once the price goes down, if you want to go up, it's going to be difficult! Besides, I don't just count on the Seventh Princess's family, I plan to sell it to Sand Lake! Zhu Xiaobao exclaimed in annoyance, these women really have long hair and short knowledge, and they don't understand his lofty goals at all.

"You can continue to sell the salt brine to them at the original price, why do these things have to go up?" The nineteenth princess asked very incomprehensibly.

"Hey, hey! Salt brine is used to make tofu, which is beneficial to the people in the world, of course I intended to make some sacrifices! But these belong to luxury goods, and they are all used by these dignitaries, of course, they can't be too comfortable! I am such a righteous and caring person! Zhu Xiaobao raised his head and replied arrogantly.

Everyone looked at these little treasures in a daze, although these words were very heroic, but the result was not good! So far, no deal has been negotiated!

In fact, now the nineteenth princess also has a lot of needs, not to mention anything else, migrating here from Xiyuan City, the most urgent thing is to need a large number of war horses, originally guarded in Xiyuan City, this need is not very urgent, but now to Lingyue Mountain, the north is a vast pasture, if there is a war here, then a large number of war horses are needed. Now there are more than 70,000 horses in the Nineteenth Princess, and there are less than 10,000 war horses, which is too small!

Although there are also war horses in Lingyue Mountain, but they are exclusively for female warriors of the Lingyue tribe, and they are not sold at all, and now there are 30,000 female warriors in Lingyue Mountain, and there are almost 40,000 war horses. Moreover, the war horse of Lingyue Mountain is very miraculous, and it is more expensive than the ironclad war horse of King Ming. Nineteen public households were seriously trying to buy a batch, but Yu Qianhe politely refused! It's just a courtesy gift of the nineteen princesses and ten war horses!

When the big guys were discussing to no avail, suddenly the female guard outside the door came to report that the female warrior of Lingyue Mountain was making trouble in the bathroom, and Wu Yue's men were confronting each other......

Wu Yue became angry when she heard this, and took her subordinates to get on the horse and rush over. The nineteenth princess looked at Zhu Xiaobao and asked uneasily, "Are you causing any trouble again?" ”

"How is that possible? I've always been convinced by virtue, and the price is fair, so there's no reason to come to me to make trouble? Zhu Xiaobao couldn't figure out what these female warriors were doing......
