On the side of Zhongshan Kingdom, Xuelian came back in advance to report the news and asked Duanmu Tattoo to report the tariff. After the border customs were responsible for getting two tall, beautiful and docile horses, everything was good, and the customs declaration was successful.

In fact! These two horses are not good horses, they are just tall, beautiful, and docile. But! As a mount, it still has a lot of face. This kind of horse is just good-looking, and is not good at running or carrying goods, let alone pulling a carriage.

To use a good example, it's better to be upset. These two horses are like modern vase women and handsome tender men, except for being good-looking, they have no ability to hang them.

Like this kind of horse, it can only be picked out and given to high-ranking officials and rich wives to ride, this kind of person loves face, and what he wants is to look good. Once these people are chased or killed, this kind of horse can't run fast, and it will only make them lose their lives.

So! This kind of horse is in the horse market, and people who know the goods are not willing to ask for it, and they can't sell it at a good price. Ordinary people buy horses, nothing more than these kinds. First! Horses should be strong and able to run. Second! Horses should be able to pull carts. Third! Horses should be able to carry goods.

Horses that can run are most welcome, and this kind of horse can not only be used as a war horse, but also can be ridden in ordinary times and used for rapid transportation. Something is coming, and it takes the shortest time to reach the destination. Or! Get the message out there.

Horses that can pull carts are just as popular. If the horse is powerful and docile, it is even more popular. One horse can solve a lot of labor, which is cost-effective. And also! The horses that pull the carriage should also be docile, tall, and beautiful, so that the owner can have face.

Secondly! It's a horse that packs goods. For places where the roads are not smooth, it is a good choice to use horses to carry goods. Caravans, for example, they want this kind of horse.

After driving the horses to Zhongshan Kingdom, Bai Gui did not immediately ask those people to drive the horses to the market to sell, but! rushed directly to Lan Gongzi's ranch.

When I entered the customs, I counted the number of horses, and there were 16,700 horses in total.

Originally! There were not so many, and when they came from the prairie, the preliminary count was more than 13,000. The prairie people are just that bird, they are not good at mathematics, and there are too many to count. Furthermore! Horses are naturally grown on their steppe and are not valuable. The prairie people have no business concept, so! It doesn't matter the quantity.

When entering the customs, the four partners in the past, each took the opportunity to drive hundreds of horses to get through the customs. Usually, you have to pay taxes when you enter the customs, but this time you will fish in troubled waters and do not pass the customs duties. Usually, the quantity is large, and it is not only difficult to declare customs but also pay customs duties. So! There is a cheap and not a bastard.

Although the ranch of Lan Gongzi's family is very large, it can accommodate so many horses at once, and the grass in the pasture is not enough to eat. And also! So many horses trampled on it, and the grass was ruined. But! This season is the season when the grass is in full bloom and grows fast.

In order to solve the problem of lack of horse grass, we had to hire hundreds of migrant workers in Zhongshan to mow grass on the mountains in the north to replenish it. Incidentally! Reclamation of land at the foot of the mountain.

Where there are mountains, there is water, and where there is water, human beings can survive. So! Bai Gui wants to develop the population on this piece of land of Lan Gongzi.

Without land, you can't grow a population.

As the hereditary son of Zhongshan Kingdom, as long as he has that ability, he can completely develop the population.

"When you come to live on my land, give birth to children, and cultivate wasteland, I will give you the minimum tax! For the first five years of land reclamation, no taxes were collected. The new population will be tax-exempt or exempt-exempt according to the actual situation of the family......"

Under a series of preferential policies for Bai Gui, those Zhongshan people who were hired were willing to move their families over, live on Lan Gongzi's territory, and thrive here.

Attracting people from Zhongshan to settle down will bring dissatisfaction and jealousy from other hereditary nobles in Zhongshan. So! Bai Gui still shifted his gaze to the prairie.

Those people on the prairie who came to work in Yinshan Town, Zhongshan Province, gradually got used to the living habits of Zhongshan Country and did not want to go back to the grassland to live that kind of nomadic life.

Just like the migrant workers in modern society, after working in the city, they are not used to the rural life in their hometown, so they want to settle down in the city. Pity! There are many conditions for settling in the city, and they cannot settle down.

Right now! With preferential policies, those grassland people are willing to settle in Lan Gongzi's pasture. These people don't have a hukou in Zhongshan Kingdom, so! The other hereditary nobles of the Zhongshan Kingdom could not control it.

If you have a hukou in Zhongshan, you may have some trouble if you want to move your hukou here. If others don't let it go, the hukou won't be able to move in. And that's not all! In order to prevent you from going to live with Lan Gongzi, others will increase your family's taxes and force you to go back to live. Otherwise! If you work here at Lan Gongzi, it is equivalent to working for nothing for the hereditary nobles in the place where your household registration is located, and you will pay taxes.

In that society, there is no part for you to speak, and the powerful say wrong. The word spoken by the powerful is the law. And! They can change their orders day and night, and there is no integrity to speak of.

If the foreign population settles in Lan Gongzi's territory, Lan Gongzi can register and make a register, and then report to the king of Zhongshan. And then! According to the standards of hereditary nobility, taxes were paid to the king. The taxes paid by the hereditary nobility to the king were very small.

So! Your territory has a large population and a lot of profits, and you, a hereditary nobleman, are not only rich, but also more and more powerful. Population is power, and population is comprehensive strength. If someone does something to you, you can take the people of your land to fight your opponent.

Hereditary aristocrats can form "family soldiers", and those who are rich and powerful will have more family soldiers.

And that's not all! Bai Hui also set his sights on the people of Zhoudi, and prepared to "migrate" some people from Zhoudi to live in Zhongshan Kingdom and Linquan Castle.

Although Lan Gongzi's pasture is not very large, there are not many cattle, sheep and horses to graze, and there are not many people to live. The territory of the prince of Kolan is backed by the mountains, which can not only open up wasteland and develop agriculture, but also develop hunters. As long as it is used well, it can feed many people.

In this era of cold weapons, population is comprehensive national strength. Without the population, all efforts will be in vain. Without a population, you can't raise an army, and all your efforts will be destroyed by someone else's force.

In the current Great Zhou world, the princes are competing for hegemony, the people are not able to make a living, and people have no way to live. They don't live for themselves, as if they were born to live for kings and to be enslaved by kings. So! There are many people who want to get out of there and find a paradise.

It's a pity that under the whole world, it is not the king's land.

So! As long as Bai Gui raised his arms and shouted, he could summon countless Zhou people.

When the time comes! The population on Lan Gongzi's territory plus the population on the Linquan side is quite impressive. When the time comes! Wherever there is a difficulty or a war, there is a response. Especially when the war comes, you don't have a population, you don't have an army, and all your previous efforts are in vain.
