After saying goodbye to his little sister, he took the gold and put it in his bedroom, and Xu Zixian also relaxed a lot.

With this amount of money, recruiting homeless teenagers, training them, and recruiting a few trustworthy generals, subduing them, and winning them over, these things can be carried out.

Then I had to find some people in charge of the official village, and at the same time recruit some reliable financial personnel, and follow Kong He to slowly investigate all the hidden households in the village, as well as sort out the employment situation of the commercial houses and shops in the town, etc.

These things can be carried out step by step, and the time during which Li Cheng and his son were detained is the best opportunity, and we must seize the time......

Next, Xu Zixian finally met Xiuniang, and she repaid herself as promised. After bathing, Xiuniang didn't comb her hair, and after drying it, she quietly walked into the bedroom wearing a middle coat.

A scent of soaphorn and the unique fragrance of the woman filled the entire bedroom, Xu Zixian felt dry mouth, and he was at a loss for a while.

The souls of college students in later generations suppressed their subconscious, and it seemed that thousands of years had passed, even if they had experience, they had long since disappeared, and Xu Zixian didn't know how to deal with it at all.

Xiuniang came over with a red face, and seemed to be very nervous, but Xu Zixian was more like he was glued by glue, and he didn't know what to do.

She walked over tremblingly, as if she had made some great determination, walked over slowly, sat beside Xu Zixian, and then leaned on Xu Zixian's shoulder with some residual hair, the fragrance of water and hair made Xu Zixian intoxicated, he suddenly calmed down, stretched out his arm, and held the woman tightly in his arms.

……

The water of the Minjiang River flows mightily down, heading towards the direction of the mouth of the sea, the fishing boats are catching fish on the river, and groups of ducks are drilling in the reeds by the river, this is the territory of Shao Wujun on the other side of the town, Xu Ziyi came over with Li Yi and others in a big boat.

Looking northwest from the river, the mountains lie in front of you, the mountains are hidden in the clouds, the southeast is gentle, but there are still patches of mountains in front of you, only a few plains can be cultivated, and a large number of villages and towns are mainly concentrated in the plains and gentle mountains.

Xu Zixian realized that there were many mountains behind him, and the landform of Fuzhou Mansion was also hilly and mountainous, with lush mountains one after another, but most of them did not have giant trees, just dwarf trees and shrubs.

Only about 30% of the land is flat, and there are mountains in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Fuzhou, and only about 30% of the places around Fucheng are basin areas, and it is also the place where Fuzhou has the most cultivated land.

It is no wonder that the Fujianese were also the most traders and immigrants of the Great Wei Dynasty, with more than 100,000 Zhangzhou people in Luzon, more than 100,000 people in the East, 20,000 or 30,000 people in the Wa Kingdom, and 10,000 Quanzhou and Zhangzhou people on the Eastern Domain, plus a small number of Fuzhou people.

In this territory, going to sea for trade and fishing, this is the most normal thing, people along the coast, can only ask the sea for a way to survive, fortunately, the Great Wei sea trade is extremely developed, and there are new ships docking in the port of Quanzhou almost every day and night.

The prosperity of trade has brought about the development of local industry and commerce, and if these thousands of displaced people in the north can never stay in one place for so long, the local people cannot afford it, so they can only beg on the move, gradually be digested by various places, or find a suitable place to settle down again.

The displaced people who set up shacks along the river came here in the seventh year of Chongde, and have been here for several years. Gradually, some displaced people have returned to Zhangzhou, after all, the vitality of Zhangzhou has gradually recovered, but there are still quite a lot of displaced people who are trapped outside, they work part-time jobs in nearby villages and market towns every day, plus fishing and duck herding, barely make ends meet, with these, it is good to be able to eat a full meal every day, not to mention the accumulation of travel expenses, the whole family walks hundreds of miles back to their hometown in Zhangzhou.

Of course, the main reason is that they are still alive, and they may have been as poor when they ran out, but behind them are the five thieves of the sea who are like murders, and they can't care too much when they flee for their lives.

When approaching the shack, Xu Zi first smelled a rather bad smell, and even the tooth generals around him frowned.

Of course, the sanitary conditions in these places are very bad, the sewage on the ground is cross-flowing, the garbage is all over the ground, and the feces and urine are everywhere.

Xu Zixian was not in a hurry to go to the shack as soon as possible, and after crossing the river, he stood on the edge of the dock and quietly looked at the official road in the distance.

The official road leads directly to Yongfu County of the Xinghua Army, turning south is where the Xinghua Military Mansion City is located, and then turning a corner to the south is Xianyou, and the other road goes north to Shao Wujun.

The entire Fujian Road, Zhangzhou by the sea, Xinghua Army, Fuzhou Mansion, and Quanzhou, these places are almost all very developed places for industry and commerce and maritime trade.

Shao Wujun, as well as Jianzhou, Tingzhou, although these places are not near the sea, but there are a large number of raw silk and tea sales, Jianzhou is iron and foreign porcelain for more, the trade volume is of course not as good as Quanzhou, but the industry and commerce are also quite developed.

The whole Fujian Road is better than Guangnan East Road and Guangnan West Road, Huguangdong Road, Huguang Guangxi Road, these places are not as good as Fujian Road, and only Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road, as well as Zhejiang East Road, these places are richer than Fujian Road.

Jingshi is located in the north, on the capital of the nobles, the number of rich merchants, must be far above Fuzhou, but in terms of the entire Zhili area and Hebei Road, but far less than Fujian Road.

Xu Zixian didn't stand for too long, and soon a convoy of horses came from afar.

There are also a large number of carriages here in Fujian now, because there are many mountains, hills, plains and less, although it is near the sea, but the river is far less than the Jiangnan and Liangzhejiang Road, so the sea transport is developed, the river transport is limited a lot, the traffic of Fujian Road now mainly depends on these large convoys in front of us, the horses are all southwest horses, this kind of horse is very small, even the Mongolian horse is not as good, but the victory is more tenacious, more able to endure hardships, and the endurance is more sufficient.

A large number of southwestern horses pulled two-wheeled carts without steering axles, the body was quite cumbersome, but the victory was in the official state of the road, so the cart still moved forward unhurriedly.

On either side of the vehicle were many riders, and in the distance they could be seen wearing black soft feet, like black hats stuck on top of their heads, and they were wearing light green or light yellow, or dark blue, light blue robes, and their feet were usually soft boots, and some were wearing long short shoes.

Most of these horsemen are merchants, and the Great Wei Dynasty has no restrictions on merchants, just as there is no restriction on land, merchants can be rich and rival the country, and the significant representative of this is Pu Shougao, a merchant with color eyes, whose money in his hands must be more than 10 million guan, or even more.

Xu Zixian was not able to determine whether these merchants were Semu merchants or Han merchants from Fujian Road.

As long as the merchants have been to China twice, their clothes will be easier, one is better to integrate, not to make themselves appear abrupt, and the other is obvious, the Chinese merchants are more gorgeous, using silk materials, cut very beautifully, wearing hats, soft hats, turbans, with knives around the waist, flint, jade, these shiny things are also very attractive to the merchants, and soon the merchants will follow the customs.

Xu Zixian felt that the so-called Semu merchants were Arabs, but it seemed that there were also Portuguese and Spaniards, and the Great Wei officials were vague in this regard, and no one had the will or ability to figure out this matter.

As the crowd got closer, you could see the cart men on both sides of the cart, most of them using only a wooden hairpin to fix their hair, or wrapping their heads into a ball with rags, and shirtless coolies.

They used ropes to pull the cart and make it faster.

In any case, there is no shortage of manpower, after all, these coolies can earn 60 to 80 yuan a day, and a hundred coolies can earn less than 10,000 yuan a day, that is, less than 10 yuan.

And a cart of goods, these colored merchants can earn hundreds or thousands of dollars, and the cost of these coolies pulling the cart is really insignificant.

Even so, the lives of these people are not bad, 600 yuan can buy a stone of rice, in about ten days they can earn a month's food for the family, another ten days to earn money for vegetables and clothes, and another ten days to earn taxes paid to the imperial court.

Therefore, the burden of each family is very heavy, and every Great Wei person has at least ten days a month to work for the imperial court, and it is not even enough, so everyone is very hard.

When the coolies arrived at the dock and began to unload the goods, they unloaded the goods in sweat, and the Semu merchants and Han merchants watched from the side, and then the merchants boarded the ship with the goods and sailed to the dock opposite.

Xu Zixian knew that there were also a lot of carts and lifu on the other side, and they would send goods to Jianzhou or Fuzhou, but there were few to Fuzhou, after all, Fuzhou had a port, and the goods could be directly unloaded at the port, saving the distance of dozens of miles.

Of course, more merchants went to Jianzhou, Shaowujun, Tingzhou and other places, and even to Jiangnan West Road and Huguang South Road, where they collected all kinds of goods, and then transported them to Fujian Road by water and land, and transported Shanghai ships from Quanzhou or Zhangzhou, Fuzhou and other ports, and then set sail to sea.

This is quite a prosperous and wealthy scene, Xu Zi first looked at it for about half an hour, and there were already three convoys and many merchants crossing the river from the wharf.

As far as he knows, there are corresponding wharves for dozens of miles upstream and downstream, but it is still in Nananze Town that has the largest passenger flow.

Xu Zixian was thoughtful, everyone else knew that Shizi was thinking about things, and no one stepped forward to urge.

Half an hour later, Xu Zi walked in the direction of the shack, his mind had already decided, there was a new plan planted like a sapling, and the bottom was to wait for the opportunity to let it thrive.

……

"Don't worry." Xu Zixian said to the families of dozens of teenagers: "This Hou Mansion will definitely not treat them badly, and this dynasty will never allow the abuse of servants to happen, even if I am the son of the Hou Mansion and a child of the clan, once I break the law, the national law will not tolerate it." ”

There were hundreds of people gathered in front of him, most of them were middle-aged people in ragged clothes, both men and women with tired faces.

They may have had their own dwellings in the past, although they may have been dilapidated or grass houses, but they were the homes left by their ancestors. It could be a farmer, a craftsman, or a fisherman.

It can also be dockers, dude, sailors.

When Zhangzhou was attacked by pirates, they were forced to flee, and now their lives can only be said to be unsatisfactory, but it is always better than losing their lives.

A man hugged his fist at Xu Zixian and said, "I heard that the prince of the world is recruiting my son as a general?" Just practice him, even if we practice to death, we won't complain about the world. ”

Xu Zixian smiled and said: "Naturally, you can't train people to death, but it's also hard." First of all, he was a guard in the other courtyard, and when he was qualified in martial arts, and the servant contract was completed, he could turn his teeth into a general. ”

Hou Fu Ya General is equivalent to a formal officer and soldier, many Ya General can be promoted to a military attache from the ninth grade, and these young men in front of him have signed a three-year servant contract, of course, they cannot be turned into official Ya Generals.

The man's face showed a look of sincere regret, maybe he really thought that his son could be directly the general of the Hou Mansion, even if they didn't become homeless people, this was undoubtedly a good errand.

Even if the Nan'an Hou Mansion is poor, compared to these people, it is also an unattainable nobleman.
