Chapter 177: The River Group (I)

The new army, composed of more than 20,000 children of Chang'an, was directly named the Capture Army by Li Jing, and Li Jing didn't know what he wanted to do.

More than 20,000 people, Zhen Nima's, Ma Xuan watched the army out of the school field, and said in his heart.

Obviously, Li Jing also adheres to the concept that only dead aliens are good aliens, which is very consistent with Ma Lan. There is no turning back when he opens the bow, and now he can only watch how far the "my family's heroic things" in the mouth of this son of heaven can go in Liaodong.

……

Li Jing left Chang'an City with a large army full of ambition, and more than 20,000 Chang'an children laughed and drove directly to the cold Liaodong in the middle of winter. After sending off Li Jing's capture army, Ma Lan quickly finalized the matter of the great migration with Zhang Xun within a few days.

At the time of Taizong, the world was divided into ten provinces, and at the time of the opening of the Yuan Dynasty, it was changed to fifteen provinces, of which Gyeonggi Province was separated from the Kannai Province. The target of this immigration was the people of Guanchung, and it is customary to say that it is Kannai Province, but in fact, it is intended to include Gyeonggi Province.

Ma Lan played Zhang Xun as the head of the household and presided over the immigration affairs, and the Son of Heaven was not surprised to play. Zhang Xun's reputation has long been extremely loud, and although he jumped from the county order to become a household servant this time, he did not cause much turmoil in the court.

The people of Chang'an poured their hatred for the forced immigration edict on Ma Lan, and although the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not say it, they all knew that Ma Lan was carrying the black pot for the Son of Heaven. Zhang Xun has a lot of friends in the officialdom and knows the inside story, otherwise with his ruthless temperament, he would not have stepped into the door of Ma Lan at all.

The final rosters from Gyeonggi Province and Kannai Province were put together, totaling more than 70,000 households and more than 450,000 people. In the end, seeing this number, Ma Lan also had a great headache. With so many people in Guanzhong, I am afraid that the oasis in the river will be filled. He pleaded with the Son of Heaven several times to disperse the migration within three to five years, but Li Longji refused to let go at all, and he was determined to complete this major event within the thirteenth year of Tianbao.

Ma Luan's own plan was to accomplish this matter with all financial resources, adopting the old method of the previous attack on Tibet, in which merchants participated, and the imperial court contributed money and hired merchants to transport the people of Guanzhong to Anxi, and then enter the river through the South Green Mountain Road. Ma Xuan made a simple calculation, and it would cost 10 million yuan just on the road, which was basically 30% of the Tang Dynasty's annual income.

At this time, Ma Lan suddenly felt that he was very poor. Even if you count the money of the Ma family firm in Gao Qianqian's hands, it is too far behind in this matter.

Although the annual income of the Tang Dynasty exceeds 30 million yuan, it is impossible to spend all of it on the matter of immigration, and it is also difficult for the household department to come up with 10 million yuan for this matter. If a country wants to accomplish such a major event, and in just one year, even with the national strength of Datang, it is extremely uncomfortable.

However, the idea put forward by Zhang Xun was much simpler, before setting off, the 450,000 immigrants in Guanzhong were divided into eight parts according to their place of origin, each part was nearly 10,000 households, 50,000 or 60,000 people, and Ding Zhuang was all registered in the army and divided into eight armies. This emigration was considered an expedition, and it was carried out under the management of the army. After arriving in the river, he still dispersed according to the Eighth Army to open up Caolai, working as a farmer in his spare time and as a soldier in wartime. This avoids the confusion of transporting migrants by caravans, and saves a lot of money. Zhang Xun calculated many times in advance that the money spent would not exceed three million yuan.

Zhang Xun's method is actually a bit similar to the box army of the Song Dynasty in the later generations, and further back, it is the construction corps of Xinjiang in Ma Lan's previous life. Zhang Xun proposed this method, which made Ma Lan's eyes brighten, but if he thought about it carefully, the money would be less if he acted like this, but the people who died on the road were much more.

Ma Lan invited Zhang Xun to come, originally wanting to kill fewer people in Guanzhong, but he didn't expect that the method proposed by Zhang Xun would kill more people. However, he had to admit that Zhang Xun's idea was very attractive, especially after arriving in the river, and this kind of management was extremely important for Hermes-Epitek to quickly occupy the area.

Although the Son of Heaven gave him the right to decide, how could Ma Lan dare to be arbitrary in such a major matter, he naturally told the Son of Heaven about his two ideas and the amount of money spent, and asked the Son of Heaven to make the final decision.

Li Longji is worthy of being a benevolent and generous son of heaven, and he said that originally Tubo was powerful, and the states of Longyou spent a lot of money and silk every year to prevent autumn, but now there is smoke on the Qiangtang, and Tubo is no longer enough to trouble, and it is just to spend these money and silk on the river of immigrants. If there are deficiencies, the household department will make up for them, and the people must not be allowed to trek and suffer on the road. All the people were greeted by the imperial court in chariots and horses, and no matter how much money was spent, they were never allowed to trek on foot in Guanzhong.

As for Zhang Xun's idea, Li Longji also took it into consideration, and directly made a decision to incorporate the immigrants into the military register, named them after Lantian, Fufeng and other places of origin, and managed them according to the law of the army on the road, and then dispersed into eight military towns after arriving in the river.

Obviously, Li Longji was extremely eager for the extension of the Tang Dynasty to the west of the Green Mountains, so he finally made such a decision.

After an edict, the people were extremely grateful for the benevolence of the Son of Heaven, and the resentment was still left on the body of the initiator, the great traitor Ma Lan.

……

The common people saw the benevolence of the Son of Heaven in this ornate edict, while the lords and merchants of the family saw the tempting money. This time the great migration of the people in Guanzhong is a big business worth tens of millions of dollars.

On the day the edict was issued, the family gate lord Hu Han and wealthy merchants all rushed outside the mansion of the king of Fufeng County, wanting to see Ma Lan, but they all blocked Yang Youniang back.

"This is a person who is not ashamed, what is the matter of living in her husband's house without passing the door, and he actually puts on a shelf of the master!"

The steward of the family with a bad temper was closed, and when he walked out of the house, he scolded loudly.

Ma Yong and Ma Qiang received a special instruction from Ma Lan, and when he heard this, he walked out with a team of Anxi athletes, grabbed the fat steward and slapped his mouth directly, fanned the fat steward like a pig's head in public, and finally threw it directly into the pond.

The rest of the people all looked strange when they saw it, and their hearts were really domineering. did not complete the task of the master's family, and these people refused to leave, but just wandered around outside the county king's mansion.

In the evening, the carriage in Yankang Fang was almost unable to stop, and the door of the county king's mansion slowly opened, and a beautiful woman with a peerless appearance came out.

Yang Youniang's expression was calm, she pulled up the woman's hair bun on her head, ignored everyone's surprised gaze and said coldly: "My husband said that this big business is worth 30% of the Tang Dynasty's income, and no one can eat it alone." In order to ensure the completion of the great cause of this migration to Hezhong, Fujun decided to order the formation of a new trading house, called Hezhong Group, to specialize in this business. You don't have to wait here, go back and discuss with your master, and those who want to participate in this business can join the Hezhong Group. Only after the shares are purchased are allowed to participate in this business, and the capital invested in the shares shall not be less than 100,000 yuan. ”

As soon as Yang Youniang's words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

100,000 yuan, that's not a small number. Few of the famous big businessmen dare to openly say that they have 100,000 yuan. Although the family has so much money, no one wants to show it easily.

"The Hanaka Group monopolizes the business of transporting immigrants this time, which is granted by His Majesty Chrysostom. You all know very well how much profit is hidden in this. ”

"You can go back and think about it, but my husband asked me to tell you one thing, this new business house has already invested a million dollars. If you want to participate in this business, you should take advantage of this opportunity. In the future, there will be a lot of profitable businesses west of quicksand, and it will be too late to regret it when the time comes. ”

The crowd was in an uproar again, and someone had the courage to ask loudly: "Madam, I don't know who invested a million dollars at once with such a big penance?" There are many rich and noble families in Chang'an City, and I can't think of anyone who has this ability. ”

Yang Youniang had already pulled up the woman's hair bun, and she was not annoyed when she was called Mrs., and said indifferently: "The one who invested one million dollars is the current Your Majesty." The one million coins are all from the inner treasury, all of which are Kaiyuan Tongbao minted during the Wude period, and there is no bad money. ”

"Your Majesty!" The crowd erupted in exclamations, and the eyes of many people became extremely eager.

The Tang Dynasty is heavy on businessmen and light on businessmen, and the status of businessmen is extremely low, and the rich businessmen also have no status, and although the family is in business, no one is willing to put the business on the bright side, for this reason.

This time, what kind of Hezhong Group actually has His Majesty's one million dollars, not to mention that such a business is hugely profitable, even if there is no profit, it is worth it. Follow the Son of Heaven to do business, who will dare to look down on us businessmen in the future?

"Everyone, please go back, my husband said, the time is only tomorrow. After tomorrow, Hanaka Group will not accept new shares for the time being. At this time tomorrow, the Lang official of the household department will count the share capital here and arrange the immigration matters this time. ”

When the stewards heard this, they immediately dispersed in a hurry, and when they found their own carriage, they hurried back.

Ma Lan walked out of the mansion and gently wrapped herself around Yang Youniang's waist. A hint of blush appeared on Yang Youniang's little face, and she bit her lip lightly and did not speak. A cadre of soldiers hurriedly turned their heads and looked ahead without squinting.

"Girl, well done."

"Hmm." Yang Youniang snorted, and her little face turned even redder. was so openly intimate with Ma Lan, she was still a little unaccustomed to it.

Ma Lan smiled and hugged her tighter. Now that she has become her own woman, she always has to be given an identity. Such a blatant intimacy is also to show Yang Youniang's status as the mistress of the royal mansion of Yang Youniang.

Tie all the family lords in Chang'an City to the chariot of the Anxi army, and the Anxi army has enough strong financial support to be invincible in the river. The establishment of an organization similar to that of the East India Company to start colonizing the land opened up by the Anxi Army was an idea that Ma Lan had long had, and now with the help of this great migration, he finally had an eyebrow.

Li Longji's million dollars are still lying in the inner treasury, and Ma Lu has already guessed what kind of effect this news will bring. Gently hugging Yang Youniang's soft body, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After convincing Li Longji to join the Hanzhong Group, all the problems suddenly became simpler. (To be continued.) )
