Although Shuofang City is just one of the many cities they operate for many merchants, it is undoubtedly more important in comparison. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhang Yi knows very well that border trade is a huge profit among huge profits!

Take salt as an example, because of the mass production of Lingnan sea salt, today's coarse sea salt in Datang is only 12 yuan a catty, not to mention cheap, but it is definitely not expensive.

However, even if the merchant bought it at the price of 12 cents a catty, and then transported it to Shuo, he could directly exchange two catties of salt for a war horse of the Turks!

This kind of transaction can not be said to be unprofitable, and it is precisely because everyone knows that the border is dangerous, but it still makes a large number of businessmen come here to fight for a fortune.

"So, what I mean is that we can mobilize the merchants and people in the city to clean up the garbage heaps, and on the other hand, on the army side, we can burn red bricks and cement at the same time, and once some of the red bricks and cement are produced, then we can start repairing the city walls immediately!" Zhang Yi said: "In this way, we can be said to be carrying out three aspects at the same time, and we will never waste any time."

And everyone knows that the cement thing only needs about three days to completely dry up, and we Shuofang is estimated to be up to two days because of the wind, so as long as there are enough manpower, we can complete the repair of Shuofang City in a very short time!

And after the renovation of Shuofang City is completed, our hoarding plan can also be carried out directly. Lay the foundation according to the predetermined location, then pull the frame, and finally water it with cement, so that Shuofang City is really impregnable!

And at that time, our elders will be able to grow agricultural crops without worrying about being plundered by the Turks, and slowly form a self-sufficient or semi-self-sufficient form! ”

Tang Peng listened a little bit about defense, but when Zhang Yi talked about self-sufficiency, his eyes suddenly lit up.

You must know that according to the original plan, the defenders of Shuofang are not planting grain, but farming seven, if the front line is really solid, then it can be said that the entire Shuofang and even almost the entire Hetao can be planted.

So much land, there is no need to pay taxes, and the interests are directly related to every soldier, so it is impossible for them not to die, in this way, even if he Tang Peng can only get one percent of the benefits, then he is enough to become a local tyrant!

At that moment, Tang Peng said: "In this case, I see that you all have something to do, and I can't be idle, right?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Niu Jinda, who was there by the old god, and then at Xue Wanyan, who was thoughtful, and immediately stood up and patted his chest. He said: "This matter of lobbying the merchants and people of Shuofang City will be handed over to me, I don't believe that it is related to the safety of the country and the dynasty, and their own net worth, they will not contribute!" ”

"Lobbying? Hey! Niu Jinda suddenly flashed a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and his voice immediately became cold: "Don't underestimate these businessmen, you are bold!" Who's behind them, do you know no? These people, these years have become fat, you say a word, they can say a word to you, you can directly bring my personal guards later, and those who are unwilling to contribute will not have to stay in Shuofang City in the future! ”

Niu Jinda's heart is like a mirror, and ordinary businessmen still dare to come to Shuofang?

Even if they come there, they are just some small businessmen, but behind the real big businessmen are the shadows of the nobles and bigwigs from all sides, or it can be said that it is their industry at all, which is nothing more than for outsiders to take care of.

In Niu Jinda's view, since as a nobleman, while enjoying the dividends brought by the dynasty, on the other hand, he naturally needs to contribute to the country.

In fact, it is precisely the case that basically all the nobles in Datang have this kind of consciousness, after all, profit is just a doorway for them to maintain a rich life, and the title and identity are their foundation. If you make less money, you won't die, but if Shuo Fang has a problem because of this, then when Li Erqiu settles the accounts, he may be able to push them to the end, which is really unacceptable at that time.

So, it shouldn't be difficult to send some guards and servants to clean up the garbage and the like!

And Niu Jinda asked the guards to follow Tang Peng to deal with this matter, on the one hand, he agreed with Zhang Yi's method, and on the other hand, he was also worried that there would be one or two thorns in this group of businessmen.

"Then the general will assist General Niu in defending Shuofang City!" Tang Peng laughed, and looked at Niu Jinda at the moment.

"It's good!" Niu Jinda nodded, he was also moved by Zhang Yi's method, as Zhang Yi said, he knew the solidification speed of cement, and the solidity of cement was comparable to that of gold and stone, although it was only a layer of clothing on the outer wall of the original Shuofang City, but the defense power could be said to have been directly improved several times.

In this way, Shuo Yi has really become a male lion entrenched in the mouth of the Hetao, no matter how ferocious the hungry wolf is, it can remain unmoved!

At that moment, Niu Jinda said: "In this case, Xue Wanqian listens to the order!" ”

Xue Wanqian immediately stepped forward and arched his hand: "The end will be!" ”

"The old man ordered you to mix the old garrison of Shuofang City with the old man's personal guards, select two thousand elites to defend Shuofang City, and inquire about the surrounding news!" Niu Jinda's face was extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The old man will immediately make an independent decision, and he will build a steel city for my Tang Dynasty with his life!" ”

After Xue Wancheng received the order to retreat, Niu Jinda said to Tang Peng again: "Tang Sijie, since you volunteered to lobby the merchants in the city, the old man will allow you to do this errand!" However, you must remember that anyone who does not obey will be dealt with as a collaborator, and you must not be merciful and ruin our major affairs! ”

"The last general commands!" Tang Peng also bowed his hand towards Niu Jinda, and then withdrew from the tent.

At this time, only Zhang Yi and Niu Jinda were left in the entire camp.

"Finally, I will gather people to burn red bricks and cement by hand!" Looking at Niu Jinda's serious expression, Zhang Yi couldn't help but shudder, for Niu Jinda, he was actually just an ordinary relationship, if it weren't for this expedition, he would have only met twice, so he still looked a little raw.

"Wait!" Niu Jinda waved his hand, stopped Zhang Yi, and stared at Zhang Yi for a long time before he said, "Zhang Yi, do you know that your father and old man were also brothers back then?" ”

"Huh?" Zhang Yi couldn't help but stop suddenly.

He didn't expect that Niu Jinda would actually say this sentence at this time.

Before Zhang Yi could react, Niu Jinda's voice came over again, only to hear Niu Jinda say: "Do you know the truth that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will blow?" ”
