Black Mountain City is a big city in the northeast at this time, but it is just a fortress level in the pass, although due to the population of the Manchu Qing Dynasty called Nalan, the general who burned the city and looted the wealth, so that now Lu Hanqiang is most worried about the problem of forced demolition and loss of his reputation, which has become the easiest problem to solve, but although there is no common population, but close to 30,000 horses to move in, deducting the reserved school field, it still seems a little crowded. As a result, the businessmen who followed him found Lu Hanqiang and resolutely asked them to draw a commercial area in the city.

It has become a habit for the merchants of the Ming Dynasty to follow Lu Hanqiang's army to fight in the south and the north, not only can they buy the material wealth looted by Lu Hanqiang's army, and obtain a huge profit difference during the period, but also can supply Lu Hanqiang's logistics supplies in time, and they will make a lot of money here.

Now Lu Hanqiang, for the logistics supply, is not to worry about himself, still hand them over to those businessmen behind him, with a price two percent higher than the market price, at any time to purchase the materials he needs, as for the ordnance and equipment, of course, it is still carried by his own soldiers, this does not dare to really let go of others, therefore, every time Lu Hanqiang marches, he will follow behind the ass of the army, the mighty merchant team.

Buying grain and grass from merchants, including some vegetables and non-staple foods, is much more convenient than transporting grain and grass and buying by yourself, in this era, Lu Hanqiang thoroughly felt the incomparably huge potential of merchants, as long as you give him a certain profit, then he will do things for you that you can't imagine, such as this logistics supply, if according to the practice of the Ming court, the grain and grass of the 45ooo army are said to be conscripted, at least in 90,000 nearly 100,000 horses, and these people are recruited, according to the practice of the Ming Dynasty, During this period, they also have to bring their own rations and fight for many years, and the result is that hundreds of people's families are ruined, especially the corrupt officials and corrupt officials in various places, and those officials and villains, but also through this method of recruiting and supplying, from which the people are fished and fleshed, there is a record in history, Shandong will escort to Zhangjiakou grain and grass is only 2,000 stones, and the people are actually 1o thousand, is this realistic? It's not realistic at all, in fact, it's enough to have two or three thousand people, but there is a huge room for maneuver, that is, the local officials and gentry actually apportioned to the people without restrictions, okay, you can not go, then you have to pay two taels of silver as a substitute for labor money, so on the one-time transportation of only two thousand loads of grain, it provoked a riot among the people of Shandong, and this time in order to quell the riot, the Ming court spent nearly one million taels of silver.

And what about the cost of transportation along the way? According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, the expenses required along the way are borne by the people themselves, so that is to say, the two thousand quintals of grain transported from Shandong to Zhangjiakou should be two thousand stones when transported to Zhangjiakou, and the result is very funny, the people came with food and drink along the way, and the grain transported to Zhangjiakou was only one hundred stones, so the border army was still hungry and cold, and the people were starving to death along the way.

Now Lu Hanqiang's method is different from the original, that is, everything is purchased from merchants, I will designate a place for you, and then you will transport grain, and I will give you a preferential policy of market price, okay, all the expenses in the middle are yours, you can do it yourself!

As a result, things are so strange, the same stone of grain, transported by the government, transported to the barracks is not more than ten catties and twenty catties, but through the transportation of merchants, there will never be a shortage of catties and two catties, and the businessmen will also be grateful to Lu Hanqiang, because it is Lu Hanqiang who makes them make enough profits.

Food is one thing, the more important Lu Hanqiang provides a huge business opportunity for businessmen, such as a simple needle and thread brain, the soldiers' clothes must wear out quickly, and Lu Hanqiang strictly requires the army to be neat, so that these men have to learn to sew their own clothes, as a result, the needle and thread brains brought by the businessmen have three to four times the profit, you don't see, this thing, very little, a needle and a ball of thread, but five to seven dollars, but do you know what the price of this thing is in ordinary people? It's just 1 to 2 cents, and you must know how much the 45ooo army will consume in a day? That's a lot of income.

A businessman is very sensitive to everything that can be profitable, including this needle and thread.

And the merchants gave the goods they brought to Lu Hanqiang's army, earning an additional 2o% profit, for the merchants, this is simply a huge profit margin, which is consumed, naturally, according to the ideas and practices of the merchants, is simply minimal.

Remember, don't forget at any time, don't underestimate the boundless potential of businessmen, and Lu Hanqiang was born in the next generation, he can no longer be familiar with these potential abilities of businessmen, which is also the fundamental reason why every time Lu Hanqiang goes on an expedition, others use 1oo to fight a battle, and Lu Hanqiang does not expand, and only 1o million will win this battle.

Therefore, according to Lu Hanqiang's idea, there is no need to use diligent government to solve the problem of prosperous commerce, and according to the interpretation of later generations, it is de-administrative.

In fact, both the East and the West have one of the most fatal misunderstandings, that is, everyone wants to be this official, and they all want to grasp the power in their own hands, and the more people in charge, the more fulfillment they seem to have, is this actually the case? Wrong, if you really want to manage the society of this world, it should be like this, you officials can become high, but don't touch the interests of the people, you talk about politics there, and it has nothing to do with the people, as an official of the government, you should only be able to control the general direction, and the rest should be delegated to the people, so that they can explore their own experience in moving forward and getting rich at home, is there any? Nope.

This is the policy that Lu Hanqiang wants to implement in western Liaoning - the government is only responsible for the major policies, and the people are left to do everything else, as for the extent to which it is done, the government is only responsible for supporting and supporting, and everything else is done according to the people's ideas.

For example, in the face of the general office of the bank in front of him, his idea is that since you Lu Hanqiang is the largest shareholder of the bank, then the bank's income is directly related to you, and since the bank's income is directly related to you, then you should contribute to the bank's future income.
