Chapter 29 The Establishment of the Border City
Those who are familiar with Fang Yun are none other than Xi Zhicai, especially the strengthened Xi Zhicai.
It was the grace of saving his life back then, and now the grace of knowing the encounter, no matter which one is worthy of his death. Behind the scenes, Fang Yun didn't know how to deal with literati, so he was responsible for coming forward to open up the joints and dissolve the barriers between the two sides, and finally explained his vision for the future, saying that following Fang Yun was actually very promising.
Outsiders don't know the hardships. But what is certain is that without his efforts, Du Xi would not have surrendered so quickly, and Zhao Li would not have figured it out so early, let alone the two of them, it would have been impossible to surrender one day. It can be said that Fang Yun was able to successfully recruit these great sages, and among them, Xi Zhicai had great merit.
Otherwise, it can't be a martial soul pill, and it is also the most valuable Zhang Jiao martial soul.
The new positions of trial and frustration were quickly transferred with the defection of the two. For the time being, they still hold the position of lecturer, but the judge has replaced Xie Yuan as the new chief secretary in the army, and Fu Yuan has directly assumed the position of deputy county magistrate.
Today's new Huangzhai, after this period of construction, has faintly become a county seat. Therefore, Fang Yun directly issued an order to officially upgrade Xinhuangzhai to Xinhuang County, consider himself the county magistrate, and at the same time appoint Fu Zhi as the deputy county magistrate.
With the gradual widening and smoothing of the mountain roads, Xinhuang County's control over the townships under its rule has been raised to a new height. The most important thing is the issue of galloping aid, and now from the Southern Military Region to the Northern Military Region, it is already possible to ride a horse to help, and you can reach your destination within two days to achieve the goal of galloping aid.
Cooperate with an already established outpost. Fang Yun was already able to ensure the basic security of the territory. And now the Han is tired of fighting and resting. Naturally, there is no time to patronize these so-called 'thieves'. In the final analysis, there is an essential difference between 'thieves' and 'anti-thieves'. As long as it is not the latter, then the imperial court will basically not manage it too much, and at most let the local government attack.
It's not enough, now that the place is rotten, let them suppress the bandits, that's impossible.
It was precisely because of this that Fang Yun won a chance to recuperate, which was enough for him to develop slowly and through the agent Du Xi. Gradually encroach on the Han forces. At the same time, he must also accumulate all kinds of materials to the maximum, and at the same time use the failed experience of the Yellow Turban Uprising as a lesson to ensure the absolute independence of the Yellow Turban Army and ensure the purity of the team.
That was a year later, though! In the midst of a burst of celebration, the Spring Festival has finally arrived!
On this day, the base area was completely overshadowed by the cheers of children. These little kids don't have the worries of adults at all, they only know that they are happy when they should be happy, and they rarely do it because of the New Year. I remembered that the adults in the family were gone......
On the military side, Fang Yun also authorized to go home in batches for the New Year, and the soldiers had a home to go home. Those who do not have a home take the opportunity to form a family of their own. Actually, it's more about finding a way to keep it or something.
Just like the samurai class of a certain country, you must find a woman before going on an expedition, and sometimes you say goodbye to the first time at the age of thirteen or fourteen. But as he goes to war, he may die on the battlefield at the age of thirteen or fourteen. However, if he is lucky, his offspring will be born next year, and the bloodline will be passed on......
After staying, the feelings that the Chinese people can't erase seem to have unconsciously become an instinct, not only because of etiquette. Perhaps, they need a descendant to prove that they have been in this world, instead of silently appearing, and then silently leaving, and finally silently forgotten by history.
Like the soldiers, the courtiers have been worrying about one thing recently, and that is the issue of Fang Yun's descendants.
No one can guarantee when Fang Yun will die, after all, malnutrition or a serious illness has caused many people to die in their thirties, and it is not strange to die at the age of forty. Even, death at the age of fifty has been regarded as normal, and it is precisely because of this lifespan of sixty or seventy years that it is regarded as so precious.
Fang Yun is twenty-one years old this year, but he is still single. Although he has a marriage contract with three people, he has no intention of marrying at all, this is the so-called emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuchs are in a hurry, there are few heirs in a force, and the courtiers below are not at ease! So hinting at changing the method, Chen Tao even sent a pot of tiger whip wine...... Then he was kicked out of the mansion by Fang Yun.
In the past two days, Xie Yuan and Zhang Ning's eyes were a little strange, but they were two completely different eyes.
The former wanted to marry Fang Yun early but didn't give it, so it was inevitable that he would be a little resentful; The latter glanced at Fang Yun with strange eyes, although he didn't say it explicitly, but that look was either doubting that he was 'incompetent', or doubting whether he was 'Longyang'.
The most depressing thing is that this chick then looked at Fang Yun defiantly, and her eyes seemed to say, "Want to prove? Welcome! I'm afraid you won't dare to go up! What kind of education did a twelve-year-old girl have, Fang Yun was speechless.
Eat? Naturally, it is impossible, not to mention that the taste is not good, and it hurts the body!
I simply focused on government affairs and thought about how to develop business.
This is also a shortcoming of Xinhuang County, just because the base is in the mountains, and it is also a well-known den of thieves, so no businessmen will come in at all. In fact, if it works well, it is actually a huge treasury, but other forces can't see through it at all.
At present, the one who often travels to and from Xinhuang County is probably the Zhen Chamber of Commerce...... A small chamber of commerce under it.
There were many private trades between the two parties through agents, but the supplies that could be purchased were very limited. Just because if Fang Yun didn't go out to rob, then the wealth in the inventory would still be exhausted little by little. But now there was no commercial activity in the territory, so Fang Yun couldn't stop this from happening.
The best way to slow down the situation, or to improve it, is to formally establish a legal trade zone and start collecting commercial taxes. With this in mind, Fang Yun has already demarcated three areas, and plans to set up three border trade markets outside the mountains of Bingzhou, Youzhou and Jizhou.
However, for now, we have to experiment in Jizhou first, and the situation is too open to control. And this first border trade market was selected at the junction of Taihang Mountain and Sheguo County. Through the cover of Du Raid, it was quietly established at the intersection of the mountain.
According to Fang Yun's instructions, a border trade market similar to a small village was established here. However, in the beginning, more than 50 civil houses were built at the entrance to the mountain. Part of it was used as the office of the management class, and at the same time, a small hotel and a small tea shed were built, and the framework was built first.
Interestingly, the first batch of customers was not a merchant, but a bull-horned guy.
After learning that there was a border trade market, he took the initiative to send someone over to ask what he could buy. Fang Yun sent Yu Xing to negotiate, and the result was that the other party exchanged iron ore for weapons, armor, and farm tools. They lacked better technology and manual crafting of these things, and there was no way to obtain them by means other than robbery, so buying them from Fang Yun was the only option.
Although the payment was for iron ore, the market actually made a 300% profit. In this way, this trade market can be regarded as a good start...... (To be continued......)
PS: Although it is a character written by this author, the drama is really hard......
The border trade was established with the aim of solving the deformed status quo of the economic situation in the territory, and ...... Wait for the next chapter!
