Chapter 325: Cao Ang ransomes
Zhang Ming didn't want to stay in Xuzhou anymore.
This military expenditure was also made by Yuan Shao, and he made it purely to earn.
After arranging the rest of the matter, he left.
When Zhang Ming left, Liu Bei finally felt a little more comfortable.
The foreign army was just outside his office, and he was uncomfortable.
On the way back, Zhang Ming dug a few more pits for Liu Bei.
This time, I came to Xuzhou for more than three months and did a lot of things.
It took half a month to go back, because of Mi Lan and Guo Jia, neither of them could run day and night.
Half a month later, Zhang Ming returned to Beiping City.
Zhang Ming came back, and this time Youzhou has changed a lot.
Tian Feng, Xi Zhicai, Guan Yu, and Xu Rong came to find Zhang Ming together.
Guan Yu and Xu Rong are responsible for guarding Youzhou together.
The two of them reported the situation and said that the training of the army had been completed very well, especially the militia, which had already completed the training.
"Second brother, you go to find the third brother and the fourth brother, if there is no war, you have to defend one side."
The four brothers, I am afraid that it is difficult to get together in normal times, they have to go to each town to guard a county, and Zhang Ming personally guards Beiping City, so I am afraid that the four brothers can only be together from the beginning of the war.
Guan Yu and Xu Rong left, and soon, Xu Rong also needed to be sent abroad to guard one side.
In Beiping City, it is enough to have one military general with him, and two more deputy generals are enough.
After waiting for everyone to leave, Tian Feng and Xi Zhicai began to report to work.
Xi Zhicai mainly reported on the construction of the base where the newspaper was sent.
Today, five or six states are close enough to get newspapers delivered in a matter of days.
"Very good, hard work, our newspaper is getting more and more powerful."
Xi Zhicai didn't dare to take credit, this was all Zhang Ming's idea, he just executed it.
After Xi Zhicai finished reporting, Zhang Ming said to him: "Your friend Guo Jia is also here, you have recently put down the things in your hands and go to walk around with him." ”
"Yes, my lord."
Xi Zhicai hasn't seen Guo Jia for a long time, and the two are studying in the same academy.
As soon as Xi Zhicai left, Zhang Ming and Tian Feng were left.
"My lord, my subordinates also have important things to report."
Zhang Ming went to change a cup of tea for Tian Feng before sitting down to listen to him.
"My lord, we have discovered a super silver mine in the Fusang area, and now there are only thousands of people mining there, which is not efficient, and my subordinates want to send more people to mine."
"How much has been mined?"
Silver mine, a very large silver mine, Zhang Ming attaches great importance to it.
"Recently, a batch of silver coins has been shipped back, and it can probably make more than 700,000 silver coins."
A lot, it is very important for Zhang Ming, who is short of money.
Zhang Ming nodded, and then said: "You can send some more people to send a batch of Koreans over, and tell them that after digging for one year, they can start paying their wages, and after digging for three years, they will give the identity of the people of the Han Dynasty and let them have their own surnames." ”
"By the way, we must also solve the problem of spouses, single, let them get married, first Fusang local women, if not, our Han women can also do."
Now in the big war, many men have been sent to the battlefield, leaving many women behind.
"Lord, the management of Fusang is still a little difficult now, what instructions do you have?"
"We must set up a few more counties in coastal areas, and after we have a certain foundation, we will send a few groups of displaced people there in the future, and we must also bring a group of scholars to teach them to read, write, and learn Chinese."
"I will send them from the academy, and those who want to be selected to be officials will go there and squat there for two years first, and they will be allowed to come back after two years."
If you send overseas, it is best to go voluntarily, and if you don't go voluntarily, then you will be assigned, and you can come back after two years.
Goryeo and Fusang will become Zhang Ming's territory in the future, so they must be allowed to learn Chinese, and they will become an inseparable part of China since ancient times.
Zhang Ming discussed with Tian Feng and decided the future of Fusang and Goryeo.
He has now sent tens of thousands of people to Fuso, but Fusang is a very large place and has opened up several points.
The cost of arranging people from Huaxia was too great, so Zhang Ming could only let the locals of Fusang marry the Han people, let them study, and slowly assimilate them.
In the next few days, Zhang Ming, Tian Feng and other major officials formulated a series of policies.
There are hundreds of thousands of more people in Youzhou, and the power is much stronger.
The business of each county has developed rapidly with the support of money.
The money that Zhang Ming borrowed at the beginning could be paid off quickly.
The mansions in Beiping City cost hundreds of thousands of copper coins for one building, and many of these businessmen were from the grassroots, and now they can become a family, so they naturally spend a lot of money to buy them.
Zhang Ming also reserved some, which he could take out and use if he was short of money in the future.
Beiping City has now built many houses, more than 300,000 people have moved in, and now there are still people moving in.
Everything is moving fast.
Time flies, months pass.
Autumn went to winter, and Zhang Ming and they got a bumper harvest.
Many people rejoiced in this harvest.
There are more than 200,000 people, and they have come to Youzhou for the first harvest.
In this harvest, they handed over 50% of the harvest, and the remaining grain was enough for them to eat for a whole year.
Some were more industrious, and cultivated more land, which was also planted by them.
All of a sudden, life changed dramatically.
If there is food at home and there is enough to eat, then there are one or two more children.
Many broken families are slowly getting better.
Although Zhang Ming asked for fifty percent of their income, it was better than what they had done elsewhere.
There are no exorbitant taxes here.
Zhang Ming sent people everywhere to interview, as well as painting, and slowly introduced the situation in Youzhou through newspapers.
In the past few months, there have been very few new arrivals, only about 10,000.
On this day, Xi Zhi came to Zhang Ming.
"Going to see Guo Jia again? How is he in health? ”
"Neither of us was in good health since we were young, and he was shocked to see me." Xi Zhicai said.
Now that Xi Zhicai is strong, after curing his illness, Xi Zhicai will not be sick for a long time.
Zhang Ming nodded, and then said: "This Cao Cao doesn't bring money to ransom people, doesn't Guo Jia and Dian Wei want it?" ”
"Lord, my subordinates are here precisely because of this matter, I received news that Cao Ang has gone north with money and is ready to ransom people."
"It's a pity that I didn't sign the contract and need to pay interest, but after a few months, he Cao Cao is cheaper."
Cao Cao didn't want to ransom people, so he fought with Liu Bei, and then most of Yanzhou was occupied by Lu Bu, and he drove Lu Bu away, but he also suffered a lot of losses.
Therefore, after stabilizing the rear, he had no money to ransom people, so he could only let Guo Jia and Dian Wei stay here with Zhang Ming, and he waited for a while before he was ready to ransom people.
"Very good, this time Cao Ang is here, I will receive it in person, you go and arrange it."
Xi Zhicai took the order and left.
This time Cao Cao came to send money again, it couldn't be better, although Zhang Ming is not short of money now, but no one will think that he has a lot of money.
