Chapter 663: Body Poison Tribute
Yuan Shu's order was soon in the second middle of the preacher family. But as Yuan Shu expected, there was nothing else unusual about the family.
For this kind of result, the family has long been prepared, or Yuan Shu has already hinted at it. Yuan Shu can really be called "crazy" to give the family a chance to go abroad and establish a country on their own, and the family is ecstatic about it. However, cheapness is not so easy to take advantage of, and the world will not drop pies out of thin air. If the family gets cheap, they naturally have to pay the price, which is one of the conditions given by Yuan Shu at the beginning.
Originally, the families still had reservations and selfishness about the recovery of the fiefdom, after all, in their opinion, the land could be let out, but the population they had to hide some and stay. Now that the population is so expensive, the families want to go crazy. And because these fiefdoms are going to be given up after all, these people don't plan to build too hard, just fool around a little.
Anyway, they will continue to expand outward in the future, even if they are grateful to Yuan Shu, they will not be willing to work for Yuan Shu, not to mention that they still have a lot of resentment towards Yuan Shu.
Yuan Shu also expected this, he had always prided himself on being a profiteer, and naturally he would not let the family deal with things like this, and he would definitely squeeze his interests to the limit.
Want to hide the population? Yuan Shu directly according to the number of people plus a certain proportion as the population that the families can collect. That is to say, if there are 10,000 registered people in the fiefdom of the families, if the bonus ratio is 40%, then the population of this 10,000 will be allowed to collect 14,000 people in the country while staying in the fiefdom and returning to Dachu.
In this case, the more people the family hires, the more they lose. Who wants to hide? It takes a bit of effort to recruit the population, but what does it compare to the population? Now the price of the world's population has climbed to more than 100 yuan, and it is still in short supply, and you can't buy it if you want to.
Cao Cao, Liu Bei and Yuan Shao are not stupid, they are all fine, how dare they sell them with such a small population? Just before Cao Cao, when he was poor and had a serious shortage of food, he was willing to sell some homeless people. Now Cao Cao is no longer dry, food is still scarce, but the population is even more scarce. If he continues to change, he will almost run out of soldiers.
Don't want to work hard for yourself? The better you build, the more people you get, the more fiefs you get.
Yuan Shu is a sincere person, not a profiteer who eats people and does not spit out bones. If you want the horses to run, you naturally have to give the horses grazing, and Yuan Shu never hesitates to reward the family.
Of course, there are some pitfalls associated with this. But Yuan Shu can at least guarantee that there will be no problems in recent decades, and if you want to expand externally, this is the best way Yuan Shu can come up with. As long as the fertility rate in the country is high enough, these hidden dangers will naturally disappear, and these hidden dangers are not impossible to make up for in the future.
......
Yunnan, which was once the key point of the Southwest Silk Road of the Han Dynasty, is also the only way for the Han Dynasty to trade with the body, and the Anning City built by Zhuge Liang is located on the border of Yunnan County.
It is just a newly built trading city, but it covers a vast area, with countless houses and countless trading areas. Although the construction has not yet been completed, only the city walls, some trade areas, and houses have been built, and a small half of the buildings are under construction, and there are still eighty percent of the vacant land in the city that have not yet been built, but countless merchants have already flocked to the city.
Many merchants in the southwestern countries have been holding back for a long time, they had to take a detour to Yizhou to trade with the Han Dynasty before, and the manpower and material resources required along the way are too much, and the probability of accidents is too great, although they are still profitable, but how can they be compared with now? From Yunnan all the way up has opened a smooth road, and it is still expanding, directly to Yizhou. The distance has been shortened by some means, and the time spent has been greatly reduced, after all, the roads in the southwest countries cannot be compared with the cement roads in Dachu.
Most of these small merchants are petty fights, and they can't buy fleets to trade by water like some big merchants in Dachu, and the land route is almost their only choice at present, and as soon as the construction of Anning City is completed, they have come with goods. Especially in small countries that are relatively close, even some poor and white natives come by trekking through mountains and rivers with some special products on their backs, after all, as long as the goods are sent to Anding City, the price can immediately increase several times or even dozens of times.
On this day, the wind was mild, and the gate of Anding City was full of caravans and people queuing up to enter the city. However, despite the large number of people, the scene was orderly. Several Han soldiers were dressed in fine armor and armed with steel swords to guard the door, and on either side stood dozens of fierce barbarians armed with large axes.
The strength of the Great Han has long been deeply engraved in the bones of these people, making them full of awe. The name of the strong man is not blown, and the pride of the Han people in this era is based on the abuse of the surrounding countries. The southwestern countries were abused by the strong Han during the period of Emperor Wu, although Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered here in vain, but it was not defeated, but these people's will to resist was too stubborn, the logistics of the Han army could not keep up, and he was not familiar with the terrain, Emperor Wu felt that it was not worth fighting and withdrew. These countries were nominally attached to the Han Dynasty.
The merchants were divided into two rows and entered in turn through side doors on either side. Although the gate in the middle was open, no one dared to enter, and in front of the gate, a general in fish-scale armor leaned against the wall with a spear in his hand, looking bored.
Suddenly, a huge convoy slowly approached from a distance, and a banner with a mysterious pattern was hanging from the carriage at the front. The convoy did not go to the end of the ranks on either side, as the other caravans did, but headed directly for the open gate in the center.
The merchants waiting around saw this scene and looked at it in amazement, and when they saw the flag on the leading carriage, their hearts instantly became clear.
"Stop!" The general guarding the gate saw the oncoming carriage and stepped forward directly.
The carriage stopped, and a person got down from above, and handed over the document with a respectful face: "We are the messengers who came with poison, and we have been ordered by the king to come to Da Chu Jin to offer gifts, make friends with your country, and ask the general to let me go." ”
The gatekeeper opened the paperwork, and after seeing Zhuge Liang's signature on it, he nodded slightly, returned the paperwork, and said without humility or arrogance: "I have seen your envoy." Release. ”
"Thank you, General."
The convoy slowly prepared to drive into Anding City. At this moment, the curtain of the most luxurious carriage in the middle of the convoy was suddenly opened, revealing an old and wise face, and glanced at the majestic Han soldiers on both sides and the towering city wall on the head, the color of joy and worry in his eyes turned, and then sighed lightly, and slowly lowered the curtain.
