Jiang Yin, who was innocent by nature, said his thoughts, which instantly attracted laughter from everyone.

Later, an economist named Alai explained the mystery for him.

The size of the population can indeed show the state of economic development of a certain region, but it is only an external label, not a fundamental strength. The use of environmental factors such as soil and species is the basis for agricultural development, and the application of industry and technology is the manifestation of commercial absorption of population. The training of scholars is a feedback on education after economic development, and it is also a strong guarantee for the continued development of industry and agriculture. Only with agriculture can we have the capital to feed the population, only with industry and commerce can we break through the restrictions of land on the population, and only with education can we continue this virtuous circle. This is one of the few developments so far that can break out of the Malthusian trap.

In contrast, Jiang Jian obviously does not have enough ability to understand. Economics has also become the most serious shortcoming of this future university scholar. This shortcoming has even continued among their descendants, resulting in the fact that this well-known family in the field of natural sciences is often unable to smoothly industrialize the research results, and even indirectly caused several economic crises.

Of course, no one has yet been able to see the signs of this. They all thought that this young man still had room to grow, after all, he was only an indigenous person in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was common for him to be unable to accept the economic concepts of the 20th century. As for the lack of genes in their minds to understand economic relations, many people present at the moment can only sigh in hindsight.

The talent of the Jiang family in the field of natural sciences was quickly discovered. Agricola, the father of metallurgy, succeeded in whetting the young man's appetite in just a few words.

In the following period, all kinds of ores became the object of Jiang Gongzi's research. They are even preparing to form an expedition to search the territory of Liangzhou for all kinds of available ores. Although this sentence was not approved by Suning, with the strong human and financial resources of the Jiang family as a guarantee, it was carried out very smoothly, and it didn't take long for biochemists, including Arnon, to join in one after another. In addition, they not only used the Jiang family's own guards, but also played the No. 7 to improve the equipment for the cavalry, and won the support of Attila.

Although Suning has heard about this for a long time, it has been secretly acquiescing. It's just that his main energy now still needs to be focused on accumulating strength, especially after the last time he commanded the coalition forces of various tribes, he found that he seemed to be reluctant to let go of that army.

So he found the leaders of those tribes, and openly singled out the intention of trying to recruit them.

As he expected, the chiefs immediately objected without even consulting. Fortunately, he was not unprepared for this.

The leaders of the various tribes were given three conditions from him, first, that their warriors would form a special caravan for the Weishui Company. One percent of the profits from each trade can be transferred to them. Second, the victory just achieved caused a great shock in the entire Liangzhou, and the status and prestige of each tribe also rose a lot, which shows that only when the fingers are clenched into a fist can they exert their own strength and be looked down upon by others. Therefore, Suning is ready to conduct special training for the coalition forces. In this way, the tribes will no longer be oppressed by other powerful tribes. Thirdly, children from various tribes can be exempted from part of their tuition fees and enrolled in Hanyang University and its affiliated Mongolian schools, so that they can gradually grow into the backbone of the company, not just become a member of the company's caravan.

Of these three conditions, the third may be relatively weak, after all, they do not attach much importance to the cause of education itself, but the first two are of real benefit to them.

Whether it is livelihood or security, it affects the hearts of every leader, and they have to seriously think about the conditions proposed by Suning.

Suning gave them three days and could state that even if some tribes disagreed, it would not affect the mutually supportive relationship between the two sides. In the future, it will continue to be a business alliance that advances and retreats together.

This statement obviously alleviated the worries of many tribal leaders, especially some of their warriors, who had been consumed in the previous battle. Their strength has decreased sharply, and they don't have enough confidence to fight against Suning.

Suning actually understands the situation, he just doesn't want to leave a bad impression on others. That will affect his ability to recruit other forces in the future. As for the center of these people, he will naturally tie them up with economic benefits. Of course, such a bundle could bring a lot of parasites to the future empire. However, this is the early stage of development, and if you don't promise some benefits, it is difficult to teach some people who are not from the same path to be obedient.

As for the problems that may arise in the future, there is naturally a civilization assimilation to restrain their greed, and a supervision system to punish their greed.

Both of them are essential elements for an empire that wants to survive healthily. Then give them some targeted tasks in advance.

With such a rainy day, Suning left the bank of Weishui. However, when he returned to Ji County, he encountered a fierce and rough team.

The big man who was the leader couldn't help but be curious when he saw that he was dressed in ornaments, but he was born with muscles and knots. So I deliberately found an excuse and came forward to talk to him.

"Young man, please walk slowly. When I first came to your land, I didn't know the way, and I asked the young man to guide me in the maze,"

Suning looked sideways and saw that this person's muscles were stacked like mountains, his head was thick and strong, but his facial features could not occupy a few inches, and his neck was no longer indented. At first glance, it looks as if the chin has sunk into the chest. The length-to-width ratio of the entire figure is also exaggerated, close to one to one. Coupled with the abdomen protruding forward and the buttocks protruding backwards, it seems to form a relatively regular sphere.

Perhaps this year's admissions exam should include a question to measure the person's size.

It's just that I don't know if Cao Cao can give birth to an elephant Cao Chong in his life. If so, the prodigy who can understand the principle of buoyancy may also understand the mystery of measuring volume by drainage.

It's a pity that history has changed, and the future has become a confusing quantum state. Everyone's life is now like that Schrödinger's cat, and they don't know what possibility it will be to collapse into their future reality.

It's just that what he doesn't know, not only the fate of Cao Cao, an important figure in the Three Kingdoms, has changed, but also the fate of the benevolent brother in front of him. After seeing her Suning, there will be earth-shaking changes.

Suning wasn't sure whether this person was good or bad, and what kind of plot he was thinking about in his heart, so for the sake of safety, he didn't indicate his identity, but just put on an enthusiastic expression, walked up and asked.

"I wonder where the strong man is going?"

"I wanted to visit a little brother named Suning, but I didn't know where he lived now, so I specially asked Xiaolang."

Suning was slightly shocked, and he couldn't imagine that his fame would be after a few months of operation. It can even provoke others to visit.

Then he would have to ask about the name of this benevolent brother.

"It turns out that the strong man is going to visit that gentleman. It's also a coincidence that I have had a few encounters with that guy, and my friendship is quite deep. It's better to introduce one or two strong men from below, but after becoming famous at a young age, the shelf will inevitably be bigger. The strong man has to be wronged, and tell me your name before he can report it to that guy. ”

Hearing Suning's words, hundreds of subordinates who followed this benevolent brother fought for him.

I heard the loudest one of them roar: "My family's assassin history is a feudal official, even if his teacher Liang Hu sees it, he can only intersect with each other." What's more, he is a yellow-haired boy who has not dried up, why should I let my father-in-law inform him of his name? ”

The other person chimed in and said, "He should quickly open the middle door to welcome my family's assassin history." ”

Suning did not listen to their words and intimidation, but gradually analyzed who the benevolent brother in front of him was from their titles.

Among the more than a dozen assassins today, I am afraid that Dong Zhuo is the only one who can be born so large and will appear in Liangzhou.

Suning really didn't expect that it was this generation of heroes who came to visit him this time.

However, since the other party didn't say it explicitly, he still pretended not to know the reason for this, so he pretended to be stupid and asked: "In the next young man, with shallow knowledge, I don't know which of the 13 states in the world is this strong man in front of me, who dares to leave the land without permission and come to my Liangzhou to meet friends?" ”

Dong Zhuo was a little embarrassed when he asked this, but fortunately he was also on guard against this, after all, after being an official abroad, he had returned to Liangzhou more than once or twice. Even if it was to prevent discussion in the court, he had already thought of countermeasures here.

So he said with a smile at the moment: "Assassinate Shi Dong Zhuo in Xia Bingzhou." This trip is to find warriors who are willing to serve the Han Dynasty. I heard that there is a brother Su Xian here, and there are many heroes and heroes under his account, so I came to inquire to see if I can borrow a few of them, or the northern barbarians, and defend the land and the people. ”

Suning sneered in his heart, it turned out that this benevolent brother had come to pick up socialist wool. But he is a large socialist shepherd...... Wolves, it's not that easy to get along with.

So he immediately clasped his fists and said: "Since Lord Assassin Shi is to defend the Han land, I will definitely mediate this matter, and I definitely can't live up to the adult's heart of serving the country with his fist." ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "Then I'll bother this little man." ”

Suning laughed secretly in his heart, and teased the other party by the way, I am a 46-year-old wolf, and I have nothing to do with the little wolf you said. As for his mouth, he was naturally as high-sounding as the other party, and with a wave of his hand, he generously stated: "Serving the Han Dynasty, I dare not refuse." ”

Dong Zhuo secretly scolded the rotten Confucianism in his heart, but thanked him again on his lips. Only then did the two sides say goodbye and head for their respective destinations.

When he returned to Suning, who planted flowers, he immediately gathered several strategists and told them about the encounter with Dong Zhuo on the road.

After hearing this, Guo Jia laughed: "It's only right that the lord didn't reveal his identity, now you can gradually understand the real situation on Dong Zhuo's side by taking advantage of the identity of the matchmaker." As for our side, the lord can also reveal some truths, and they know all the things we want them to know, and they can't turn them into the palm of our hands. ”

Suning clapped his hands and shouted: "I have this intention, Feng Xiao is really my confidant." ”

Deliberation is set. Suning gave himself a pseudonym to facilitate his actions in front of Dong Zhuo in the future.

So early the next morning, a young man who called himself Chen Peng came to visit Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo didn't know who that person was at first, but when he was invited in and the two sides met, he suddenly realized that this Chen Peng was the young man who promised to help him match with Suning yesterday.

So he quickly sat up straight and asked excitedly, "That little brother Su, but you have already agreed to meet me?" ”

After Dong Zhuo asked these words, he looked at the Chen Xiaolangjun in front of him with very hopeful eyes. Unexpectedly, a look of gritted teeth suddenly appeared on her originally calm face.

Dong Zhuo was shocked in his heart, and secretly said I don't seem to have offended you, why did you put on such a hateful expression in front of me?

It was only after a few years that he realized that it was not Dong Zhuo who made the Chen Xiaolangjun in front of him grit his teeth, but the Suning who was evaluated by him as young and frivolous.

After thinking about this, Dong Zhuo's heart was cold, it seemed that this matter was not done after all.

However, what Chen Xiaolangjun said next made Dong Zhuo a little surprised.

"Dong Thorn History. After I was entrusted by you yesterday, I went to visit that Suning. Although the guy met with me, he also promised that he would choose an auspicious day to meet with you. Of course, his attitude was very arrogant, and I almost slapped him in the face with hatred. ”

When Dong Zhuo heard this, it turned out that this position was to hate the other party's arrogance and rudeness. And the things entrusted to him have been done. So what else is there to complain about? In other words, Chen Peng accused Suning of being young and frivolous, and how could he not be a young and frivolous person?

Dong Zhuo, who has been in the officialdom for many years, knows that as long as things can be done, a little bit of etiquette is not a big deal.

However, things seemed slightly different than he had imagined. But listening to this Chen Peng continued: "Don't put on such an expression, you must know that the auspicious day that Suning Xiao'er chose for you is far away in more than ten days. ”

Dong Zhuo was also furious when he heard this. He slammed the cases in front of him with a slap, and asked loudly, "What important guests can be ranked before this assassin's history?" ”

Chen Peng pretended to be hateful and said: "I heard that it is just a few idlers in the mountains and fields, and it seems that they are all his senior brothers." I was also very strange, and I asked about the reason. After all, you came to visit him for the sake of the Great Han River. And he said that the reason why he Su can have today is because he stands on the shoulders of all the senior brothers. If it weren't for their help, I'm afraid he would have died in the mountains and jungles, in the mouths of tigers, wolves, jackals and leopards. ”
