Chapter 1718: Born in the Fire
"Brother Han!"
"Brother Han!"
When Han Yi returned to the mansion, it was already full of people, all businessmen, and only businessmen were willing to come here on this cold day, and the charm of money was something that businessmen could never resist.
But in Han Yi's view, they also have an identity, that is, the creditors of the imperial court, and they are here to collect debts. After all, lending money to the imperial court, this is still to get the return as soon as possible, the imperial court always says that businessmen are cunning, in fact, businessmen generally talk about credit, and the least trustworthy is the court.
"You're here."
Han Yi pointed at them angrily, it could be seen that their expressions were different, and he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you?" I think you all seem to have a lot on your mind. ”
Qian Dafang hurriedly said: "Brother Han, when we entered the city just now, we found that the people here seemed to want to eat people, which is very different from Baekje, can we stay in this place?" ”
Now Pyongyang City is still engaged in a large-scale rehabilitation movement, and Goguryeo is already a fierce people, but now everyone is even more like a hooligan, anyway, don't do anything, wandering around outside all day long, it is really scary to watch.
"If you don't have enough to eat every day, you will be like them."
Han Yi sat down and said, "You all sit down." ”
"Let's stand." Zhao Sijia sneered.
Han Yi was stunned, and suddenly found that this room was a bit small, and there was no room for so many people, so he stood up again and said, "You creditors are all standing, where do I dare to sit, let's go, let's go to the backyard and talk." ”
He really doesn't like to sit by himself, there is a group of people standing in front of him listening to orders, what the people standing think, he doesn't know, but he will feel very restrained, he still likes the atmosphere to be a little more comfortable.
When I came to the backyard, I was standing on top of the open space in the backyard.
Han Yi first introduced the situation in the city to them, and then said: "So you must remember one thing, you are here to save people, you are messengers sent by heaven, you are great good people, as long as you put away your businessman's face, then you don't need to have any worries, no one will do anything to your own food and clothing." ”
Qian Dafang and they listened to it straightforwardly, they have been very skilled in Baekje, and there is no problem at all.
Dou Yi said suddenly: "But this Goguryeo folk style is fierce, and it is not so easy to discipline." ”
Han Yi said: "If this is the case, they will not open the city gate and surrender, no matter how strong this folk style is, they are afraid of kitchen knives, but this requires us to cooperate with each other, this is definitely not an easy job, but doing business has never been an easy job." ”
"Brother Han is right." Yuwen Xiumi said with anticipation: "Then I don't know what surprises there are in this Goguryeo?" ”
Han Yi said: "I really want to give you a mirror, so that you can see the face of a businessman." ”
Yuwen Xiumi was stunned for a moment, and then said embarrassedly: "Isn't there no outsider here." ”
Han Yi nodded and said, "That's the same." ”
"Haha!"
The crowd burst out laughing.
Han Yi asked again, "How much grain did you bring here?" ”
Qian Dafang sighed: "Brother Han, your letter came so suddenly, plus it is winter now, and the ship can't come, and the food we bring is also very limited, not a lot." ”
The rest of the merchants also nodded their heads, but their eyes flashed with smiles.
Han Yi smiled slightly and nodded slightly.
In fact, Baekje has to have grain, otherwise, how would Han Yi dare to burn down the granary, you must know that these merchants in front of you are all in Baekje, they have been continuously increasing their investment in the peninsula, they have a lot of grain, but scarcity is expensive, you say you have a lot of grain, then the court for your own face, how can you also let you bring all the grain, this will affect the effect. This grain and broadsword are the two sharp weapons that force the people of Goguryeo to submit, but this has to be the same as milking a cow, squeezing them little by little, but not all of them, let them have a hope, and they will move forward.
When they were in Baekje, they had already realized this, so they didn't bring all the food, but only brought some of it, and then transported it when it was gone, and now they want to seek the support of the people of Goguryeo, so that they can naturally become the masters here.
Han Yi saw that they could do everything, so he put his mind at ease and took out a map.
As soon as they saw the map, these businessmen's eyes lit up, and they immediately put away their smiles and stepped forward expectantly, because they knew that when Han Yi took out the map, it was the time to divide the spoils, and this was the most wonderful moment in their lives.
Although this Goguryeo is a projectile, it is only relative to the Central Plains, and for them and the merchants, it is a little too big, and they actually can't eat such a large piece of land.
And the situation of dividing the spoils is also different from Baekje, Baekje is their own choice and planning, but in Goguryeo's words, Han Yi has already helped them plan, a piece of land, a wharf, a mineral, is clearly marked, but they did not help them distribute it, because each merchant has his own plan, this Han Yi still let them choose by themselves.
And this map, just let them see, there is a general impression, everyone is an old driver, it is impossible to make a decision based on the map, and they have to go on a field trip, but this map can help them save time, if they don't plan to have a ranch, they don't need to go to the ranch to investigate.
However, this policy is still a continuation of Baekje's policy, basically obtaining resources from here, and can only do some manufacturing that is lacking in the Central Plains, such as pharmaceutical factories, leather, and woolen fabrics, which can be produced here, and all mulberry forests must be destroyed.
As soon as this businessman arrived, it was to announce that Pyongyang's rehabilitation campaign was coming to an end, mainly because all those who should be arrested had been arrested, and there was no point in further rehabilitation, but this was limited to Pyongyang, and Han Yi planned to carry out a rehabilitation campaign in every place in Goguryeo, so Han Yi also transferred the living troops of the Rehabilitation Bureau to other places. On the surface, this person is in charge, but in fact, they are all under the control of Tang Jun, because they have to rely on Tang Jun to do things, and Han Yi is very relieved about this.
So Han Yi officially posted a notice in the city, in order to solve the problem of food shortage, the government decided to attract investment and cooperate with businessmen to help everyone tide over the difficulties.
The people are very welcoming, as long as there is food, anything can be done, and without food, there is nothing.
After the businessman came, he did two things first, the first thing was to recruit people.
At this time, if you don't recruit people, you will wait for when, at this time, the manpower is the cheapest, just give food to eat, and the contract is a lifelong system.
This slave contract is not very good, people have just died in the country, and you let the family be slaves, isn't this the same treatment as a captive, of course this is not good.
And the lifelong system is much better than slavery, first of all, the identity is still ordinary people, and the children are not restricted, but the businessman has not lost much, and now he is in charge of a mouthful of food, which is much cheaper than the manpower in the Central Plains. But the contract also states that in the future, wages will be paid according to benefits, and if you are old, you can't work, and you can take care of food and clothing. At the same time, there are craftsmen with crafts, and now there are wages, and now the merchants of the Tang Dynasty have opened their minds, this talent is difficult to find, and if you don't pay wages, then there is no consumption, if people can't even afford to buy clothes, then Laizhou's clothes are sold to whom.
Han Yi also took this opportunity to abolish the slave and maid system in Goguryeo and occupy other people's land, so he had to give a little positive energy.
Of course, this was limited to the people who remained there, and those who were captured and captured by the rehabilitation movement were all transported back to the Central Plains as slaves.
As soon as this notice was posted, a large number of people came to apply, as Han Yi said, they regarded these businessmen as messengers sent by God, they liked this lifelong system, what is the lifelong system, that is, they are not afraid of having no food for life, they are already very afraid of starvation, and they don't want to live this kind of life anymore.
And the second thing is to quickly inspect the surrounding land, divide Pyongyang's first, recruit so many people, you have to make them immediately profitable, you have to let them work, you can't let them stay.
But now in a hurry to divide the land, this is a little too much, this has to be secretly divided first, the first is to build the road first, the current road in Goguryeo, it is really too bad, the road is not passable, this business can not be done, it just so happens that everyone is here, the cost of building the road, everyone can share it equally, and if the road is not built, the people who have just been recruited have no work to do.
The local people are also very willing, although it is winter, but they are all in full swing, because they can eat enough to work, which is really happy, and the road is built for the good of the people here.
Let's look back at what Han Yi's fire burned.
First of all, if the cheap productive forces burn all the grain, these people will have nothing to eat, and they will not be able to wait for spring ploughing, so they will have to go to the city to find food, and then the productive forces will be there.
Secondly, the means of production, because of that fire, led to the expansion of rehabilitation, the rich, landlords, and nobles were arrested, and those who were protected by Han Yi will also be sent back to the Tang Dynasty in the future, so the land they own, mountains, forests, and minerals will be in the hands of Han Yi, and Han Yi can sell these lands to merchants to pay off debts, so that merchants have both means of production and productivity, and capital will be developed.
In the end, to dismantle the local forces, rehabilitation, is to use the hands of the people to eliminate the old forces of Goguryeo, if these old forces are not eliminated, they will always make trouble, and they must all be eliminated, so that the merchants and officials of the Tang Dynasty can completely take over here.
Han Yi burned so boldly, just because this transaction was a sure deal, and even if he was wronged, he was wronged by their own people, and it had nothing to do with Han Yi, he had never interfered in the rehabilitation, and he didn't even ask, he didn't need to ask, he was too familiar with this trick, as long as he incited everyone, everything would fall into place.
Within a few days, the city of Pyongyang immediately became calm, during this period, everyone was so keen on the rehabilitation movement, the main thing was that there was nothing to do, and now that there is something for them to do, who still wants to engage in the movement, and the power of Yuan Gai Suwen in Pyongyang has been completely cleared, Han Yi's rehabilitation movement is to kill the mistake, not to let go, and to rest assured to open the city gate.
As long as Pyongyang succeeds, then the rest of the country will copy this model.
