In the three years of Taixing, Liaodong has made large-scale adjustments to various policies, and increased the support for the grassland, Siqing, and Guanzhong, making the three places suddenly become the most popular emerging investment places in Liaodong, and many families and businessmen have gone to inspect and invest.

Not to mention that Guanzhong and Siqing originally had a profound heritage and attracted a large number of people to invest, even Bazhou, which had always been a barren land in the eyes of the Jin people, has also become the object of everyone's pursuit.

Not only are the rich willing to go to Bazhou to find opportunities to make a fortune, but also some poor families are willing to take risks.

In particular, Yuanyunzhong, Wuyuan and other places, because they are located in the Hetao Plain, are the key construction objects of the pastoral government, and they have attracted the attention of a large number of people.

"My brother is really a good eye, when most people only focus on the cattle, sheep and livestock on the grassland, but the eldest brother falls in love with the extremely widely distributed medicinal herbs on the grassland! At present, the pastoral government has announced that it will support medical development, and the big brother's move is obviously in line with the policy of Liaodong, as long as our pharmaceutical workshop is completed, it will definitely make a lot of money. ”

In the face of his brother's compliment, the middle-aged man sighed while drinking: "If you want to get rich these days, you can't hold on to the land like before, and you have to use your brain." Now it is not the same as before, in the past, people were too timid and only knew how to guard the little rent in the field, and they couldn't make a few dollars all year round. In a year of famine, you may not even be able to eat. ”

"It's better now, Da Sima encourages us to make a living, as long as it is a legal means, we have the support and protection of the government. With the prosperity of industry and commerce, goods came and went from north to south, and as long as you saw the opportunity to change hands casually, the profits obtained far exceeded the output of the land. ”

With the increasing development of industry and commerce in eastern Liaodong, more and more people realize that only relying on land output can only fill the stomach of an old snack, and if you want to make a fortune, you have to rely on other ways. As a result, some traditional landowners began to sell some of their land on their own initiative and invest their money in various workshops.

The young man's eyes looked eagerly at the middle-aged man: "Who says it's not?" Although the pastoral government has repeatedly emphasized that agriculture is fundamental, industry and commerce are the guarantee of prosperity and strength. Brother, the elder brother also wants to go to the prairie to see, I wonder if the elder brother can take the brother? ”

"Haha, Brother Xian is too polite! What is the relationship between you and me? If you hadn't acted righteously, my brother's family would have starved to death in the wilderness. Don't worry, it's up to my brother! The middle-aged man patted his chest and said.

"Thank you so much for my brother's support, I wonder what the younger brother needs to do in advance?"

The middle-aged man thought for a while and said, "You don't need to prepare anything else, just hire a few more guards to accompany you." The Hulu people on the grassland are fierce, and they can take care of them if something happens. ”

"Huh? Could it be that there is still a danger to life? Didn't you say that Hu Lu was wiped out by Da Sima? ”

Hearing this, the young man's face changed abruptly, although Liaodong had not encountered the invasion of Hulu for nearly ten years, many people still looked apprehensive when they mentioned Hulu. In fact, in the past ten years, the harm caused by Hulu to the Jin people is too serious.

"Hulu was driven away, but after all, the grassland belongs to the land that has just been recovered, and the places are not very stable, and there are even some remnants of Hulu wandering on the grassland. But the virtuous brother doesn't have to worry too much, most of these remnants are active in the northern foot of Yin Mountain, and few dare to enter the southern foot to do evil. ”

"Secondly, as the soldiers from all over the country complete their training, those remnants of the Hulu will not be able to jump for long."

"In the end, those of us who go to the west are often hundreds of people who act together, even if they encounter a small group of Hulu, they have the strength to fight! Don't forget, we all participated in military training back then, who doesn't have any skills under them? ”

The middle-aged man had obviously traveled to the grassland many times, and was familiar with the inside story, so he told the young man about some things that needed attention during the trip to the grassland.

"Oh, I see! Our Liaodong Army is still powerful, as long as the soldiers of the Xiang Army are there, they will definitely not let the Hu people bully us again. Speaking of which, the Xiang army is really good, and the Hu people everywhere have no power to fight back! The young man said suddenly.

"Yes, where do the soldiers of the Xiangjun Mansion dare to bully the Jin people in those Hulu? Unless they don't want to live anymore. I also wanted to participate in the Xiang Army back then, but unfortunately I was not selected in the end. Alas! I have been ridiculed by the people around me for this, but fortunately, I have a small achievement at the moment, otherwise I would be a little shameless to see Jiangdong's father! ”

"It's too difficult to be selected into the Xiang Army, those are the elites of the elite, not to mention that Da Sima treats the soldiers well, once he joins the Xiang Army, it means that he has no worries about food and clothing, in case he is lucky enough to make a little contribution, not only will he not have to worry about food and clothing for a lifetime, but his descendants can also enjoy free education, which is like our brothers who have to work hard for life every day!"

The middle-aged man has loved dancing knives and guns since he was a child, and he is very envious of those soldiers of the Xiang Army, but he did not expect that the selection conditions of the Xiang Army are very high, and he has been brushed down after running for three times, and finally can only serve in the government soldiers for a few years with hatred and choose to quit.

Since Wei Shuo entered Liaodong, he has greatly improved the status of soldiers in Liaodong through a series of means, and now joining the army is no longer evaded by everyone, but is the first choice of many Jin people.

"Brother, apart from medicinal herbs, what other business can be done on the grassland?" Young people are clearly not a master of peace.

"Speaking of the grassland is more opportunities, since the beginning of this year, the pastoral government announced that it will increase its support for the grassland, a large number of projects have been built, bringing us a lot of opportunities to make a fortune, which is also the reason why the family and the giants have gone to the grassland."

"In addition to purchasing medicinal herbs, wool and livestock, you can also apply to the pastoral government to lease land and prepare for the establishment of production workshops. I heard that Mufu is preparing to build a large-scale steel production workshop at the foot of Yinshan Mountain (now Baotou), which will be the largest steel production base on the Hetao Plain. ”

"Shhh It's really a big deal, but it just so happens to see Liaodong's determination to control Liaodong, otherwise the steel workshop would not be built at the foot of Yin Mountain. Brother and let the younger brother go back to prepare one or two, and after five days, we will meet outside the city, and then the younger brother will go to the grassland with his brother! ”

Since the beginning of the third year of Taixing, in order to strengthen the control of the grassland in eastern Liaodong, the pastoral government has planned several cement straight roads on the grassland. One of them is along the southern foot of Yin Mountain, from west to east across the entire grassland. The starting point is in Wuyuan City, passing through Yunzhong, Shengle, Liangcheng and the entire northern part of the Bazhou grassland along the way, which is an important straight road connecting the east and west directions of the grassland.

The other three are north-south cement straight roads, which lead to the grassland in Shuozhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou, and once completed, Liaodong will firmly control the entire grassland.

In view of the harsh environment along the way, which made the road construction cost high, the pastoral government mobilized a large number of Hu prisoners to participate. The once unruly Hu people, under the threat of sabers and guns in Liaodong, could only work hard obediently in order to get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible.

It was not that those Hu Lu did not want to run away and resist, but each time they ended up so miserably that later they had to work honestly in order to win a very small number of pardons.

Due to the poor construction conditions, the death rate of prisoners was very high, but even so, the pastoral government remained unmoved, and only focused on completing the road construction.

As Da Sima said: "Anyway, it's not the Jin people who die?" It is regarded as Hu people atoning for the sins they committed back then, and whether they can survive depends on their luck. ”

To be honest, Wei Shuo didn't take those dead Hulu to heart at all, just like when the United States built the Pacific Railroad in the future, countless Chinese laborers died, and the corpses of the Hu people will also be covered with cement straights along the way.

Compared with other places, the newly recovered grasslands of Bazhou are undoubtedly the weakest economically powerful places, but this also means that Bazhou is full of opportunities. Therefore, once the pastoral government adjusts its policy, it will make countless wealthy families and wealthy businessmen go north to the grassland.

After several years of baptism, the Jin people are familiar with everything that is happening in front of them, and suddenly all kinds of private, government-run, public-private joint workshops have sprung up on the grassland, such as textiles, food processing, breeding, steel and other industries, which are good opportunities to make money.

At the same time, the number of people who went to the grassland, Guanzhong, and Siqing to pan for gold increased, and to a certain extent, it also suppressed the phenomenon of excessive concentration of the population in the three places. (To be continued.) )
