"Twin Cities?" The old man asked in surprise when he learned that Bai Gui was going to build another commercial and trade center thirty miles to the northwest.

"Not the Twin Cities! Father! The third brother-in-law hurriedly replied.

"Why not the Twin Cities? It's more than thirty miles away from here, why isn't it a twin city? The old man became very anxious and puzzled, and asked.

Baekyu sat across from the old man with a smile on his face.

Yang Niu sat next to Bai Gui, and after listening to the introduction of the third brother, she also thought like her father: Husband Bai Gui is going to build two cities.

She looked at Bai Gui, and when she saw her husband's confident face, she didn't say anything more. She believes that her husband's decision must be right! The fact that the third brother doesn't resist is absolutely right! With the third brother's brain, if it wasn't right, he would be the first to raise an objection.

"Daddy!" The third brother-in-law explained: "Where are the twin cities? Future! What will be the population of Linquan? Isn't it? Father? How many people are in our deer park? Do you see now? How many people have migrated to Linquan? Isn't it? ”

"How many?" The old man asked.

According to the information he had, there were some people who came, but there were not many of them. And! It's all about dragging the family.

I thought: What's the use of these people coming? Isn't this to make the white officials lose more money?

Bai Gui arranged for these people to come to Linquan, what about the cost along the way? Isn't it all from him? Other than that! These people were also given their salaries. Additional! These people came to Linquan, and the white officials also arranged accommodation and life care for them, these are all money-losing transactions!

So! The more people who migrate, the more money my son-in-law Bai Gyu loses. Case! It's better not to migrate.

"More than 12,000 people! Father! The third brother-in-law said proudly.

"Cut!" The old man thought: the more you lose, the more you lose!

"Daddy! Do you know what that means? ”

"What does that mean?"

"That means! Chickens lay eggs, eggs lay chickens, endlessly! Father! Think about it? More than 10,000 people, how many families? More than two thousand families. A family gives birth to an average of one baby a year, and there are more than 2,000 babies a year. Two thousand a year, twenty thousand in ten years. In less than 20 years, how many people will we have here in Linquan? Father! You count! ”

"I'm not good at math! I can't count! Daddy replied.

"Daddy!"

"Where did you just go?" The old man asked, "How did it get to the population?" ”

"Daddy!" The third brother-in-law replied, "I just talked about the 'Twin Cities'. You say it's a twin city, I say it's not......"

"Then you go ahead and talk about the Twin Cities!"

"When you talk about the twin cities, you have to talk about the population first, Dad!"

"Why is it about the population again?" Daddy shouted unhappily.

"Daddy! Hehehe! The third brother-in-law saw that his father was impatient, and said with a smile: "How can you explain it clearly without talking about the population?" Father! ”

"Say!" Daddy waved his arms impatiently again.

Then! The deer in his arms was no longer jumping and was asleep.

The sheep girl took the baby over, hugged her in her arms, and let the baby continue to sleep.

"The reason why I say population, I mean! How can a city be built without a population? Father! Only the population is large, and the people around Linquan are all around, and when the time comes! Is it still far from the Trade City? Isn't it? Father! ”

The old man is listening, but! On the surface, he pretended not to care.

The third brother-in-law continued: "There is not much population now, but the current trade city is still on our side of Linquan Castle. The meaning of the white official is to move there step by step. The soil on this side of the grove is suitable for growing crops, and it is a basic agricultural reserve, and the land here cannot be left untouched.

So! What the white official means! Step by step, we moved the Trade City there. The white officials have already planned! Right now! The Trade City remains on this side of the castle. When the population increased, we moved more than ten miles northwest to build a temporary trading city there. In a few more years......"

The old man interrupted: "Temporary Trade City? Isn't that a toss? ”

"Daddy! So how is it a toss? ”

"Why isn't it a toss? Merchants built houses and opened shops here, and you moved the market away, didn't you toss? Do you let the family toss together? ”

"Daddy!" The third brother-in-law hurriedly explained: "It's not a toss! How is it a toss? The development of Linquan is very fast! Father! You also saw it, what was Linquan a year ago? ”

"Where?"

"Where there is nothing! Father! Look now! In less than a year, it has become a market. Over here! It's already more prosperous than our deer park, isn't it? ”

Daddy listened, but didn't make a sound.

The facts were in front of him, and he couldn't argue with them.

Before, there was only a small grove here. Nowadays, there is not only a trade market, but also a certain amount of agriculture. Crops were planted in the areas around the grove where the soil was good. And! They have been harvested for several seasons.

The current population is not large, once the population is large, it can be imagined! Faster development.

"This is an agricultural reserve, and the land here cannot be moved. So! The market must be moved to a predetermined place. Now, if the market is moved all at once, security is a problem. Other than that! There are a lot of inconveniences. Isn't it? Father?

For example! This side of Linquan Castle! When we started, where was the market? When the merchant came, he didn't even have a place to live, and he didn't have a place to put his goods, didn't he? And then what! The more houses are built, and the market ...... is formed."

"Then you want those merchants to build houses in the new market? You're not a toss? The old man emphasized again.

"Daddy! How is it a toss? The third brother-in-law explained: "With the increase in population, the trade market has migrated from here to more than ten miles away, isn't it? But the population here is already very large. There is still a certain market. A market town for more than ten miles is needed, right? Father? Isn't it?

Those who built houses here, their houses are still worth as much? The trading market has moved to a place more than ten miles away, and they don't have any money on hand, so they can sell the property here? Isn't it?

Furthermore! Those big businessmen are generally very rich! If you ask them to invest in another place, they may still want to! Isn't it? Father! ”

After listening to his son's explanation, the old man nodded and looked at Bai Gui convincingly. He knows! Such a big deal can only be imagined by his baby son-in-law Bai Gui Bai Guanren. With the IQ of his third son, he may not be able to think of it.

It's not that I look down on the third son, but! The third son is a native of the grassland, and his knowledge is not as extensive as Bai Gui.

Baekyu! He is a man who has seen the world. So! He sees things much more long-term.

"In the future! On this side of Linquan, all the way to the foot of the mountain in the south, there are people. The soil in this area is suitable for farming. And then in the future! From here to our Deer Park tribe, it will all be connected. One can imagine how many people we will have here.

We are far away from the surrounding land, far from the war, and the population is developing very quickly! Father! When the time comes! We're only going to outnumber the Yiqu side! When the time comes! We, the people of Luyuan, are no longer afraid of the invasion of the Yiqu people......

The white officials have also made arrangements in the military! Here we are! There is no regular army, but! All are soldiers! Everyone will do their best to protect their homeland. So! Once the war starts, our people are very powerful! ……”
