Section II

Rong Ma's voice fell, and Meicai, who was sitting next to him, said: "The head man said there, in the past, the affairs in the village were handled by Sister Yangrong, so I can naturally be idle. Now that my sister has been summoned by the Gu God, it is an eventful time in the village, so I naturally can't be lazy. The responsibility of protecting the mountain road, Meicai is willing to take this responsibility. ”

Although her tone was still cold, it was a burst of warmth in Rong Ma's heart, and she turned her head to stare at her and said, "Then Rong Ma will thank Aunt Meicai." ”

Meicai nodded and said no more. Duo Long couldn't wait to jump out and shouted: "Grandpa, since the Earth Gu Village Meicai Gu Mother is going, I naturally have to go to the corpse mountain this day." He scratched his head and said: "There is a good saying, the so-called matching of men and women, work is not tiring, that's the reason." ”

The grievances between the two, Wu Ming had already learned about the grievances between the two of them, and when he saw Duolong jumping out to ask for help, he couldn't help laughing. They are the top combat power of the two major forces in Da Leak Mountain, and with them in charge, just by their reputation, ordinary people don't dare to make trouble. At least there is no safety in this mountain road.

Micai glanced at Duo Long coldly, pursed her lips but didn't say much, obviously acquiescing to the matter. Seeing Ou descending to his anxious eyes, Wu Ming was also happy to do a favor, nodded and said: "Then it's decided, the mountain road is safe, and Duo Long and Meicai are in charge." ”

After a pause, Wu Ming continued: "After the opening of the mountain road, there must be a frequent flow of people, considering the problem of drawing and maintenance, my father is going to build some villages along the mountain road, and migrate some Han people to settle down, the two of you look good." ”

Terrible!

This is a policy of assimilation.

Ou Zhen's heart shook, and he was circled by Wu Ming a few times, and only now did he discover his ultimate purpose. The so-called road construction, security protection, etc., is just a foreshadowing in the early stage, and the real purpose is for this, that is, to migrate the Han people into the Dakou Mountain and assimilate the local mountain people.

He thought for a long time before he nodded and said, "Yes." Since he is a member of China and the West, his grandfather wants to arrange for someone to settle in Da Leak Mountain, and it is too late for his subordinates to welcome him, so how can he oppose it. ”

Since it is the Han people who moved in, the number must not be much, and when they get to the ground, who will assimilate who may not be able to say. Moreover, even if Wu Ming is right, if one nation wants to assimilate another nation, it must go through several generations of integration, intermarriage and other means to achieve it, and it will not be achieved overnight. And there is never a way out for self-defense, if there is really that day, he has already become a handful of loess, even if the descendants mention this matter, they will definitely understand the good intentions, and praise it.

Wu Ming tried his best to do these things, but his original intention was to control the entire Panchuan without bloodshed, proving that he really treated Panchuan as his own territory. Instead of the previous governors, they talked about a set of things, and they really wanted to do it, but they didn't implement everything, and most of them were for their own sake.

After figuring out this, Ou Zhen didn't want to make things difficult.

Seeing that Ou Zhan agreed, Wu Ming also breathed a sigh of relief, allies with common interests are the most reliable allies, and friends with common topics are the longest-lasting friends. He did so much because he wanted to kidnap these two major forces firmly on the chariot of China and the West, so that they would not have two hearts. He smiled and glanced at Rong Ma: "What does that person mean?" ”

Rong Ma's eyes rolled, and he said coquettishly: "Uncle Ou Jian has no opinion, I have no opinion." "She is still young and can't figure out many things, but she is smart and knows that Ou Jian can promise Wu Ming, and the benefits of this matter will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

Wu Ming smiled even more: "Well, since both of you have agreed, this matter is settled." ”

※※※ "Grandpa, spending money to recruit workers to build mountain roads will be a lot of expenses, how do you solve this problem?" ”

After the banquet was dispersed, Wu Ming summoned his next group of civil and military personnel to discuss the feasibility of this matter, Shang Yukun was worthy of being the master of the business, and pointed to the essence of the problem with a sharp point.

That's the money.

Money is needed to mobilize artisans, money is needed to recruit local mountain people, and money is needed to transport materials.

Once the mountain road is built, money will be needed in various places, but he knows exactly how many families in China and the West have, and seeing that Wu Ming and the local leader have reached an agreement, he is a little worried in his heart.

Wu Ming grabbed the cup on the table and took a sip of tea, and said neatly: "I naturally know this, but to build the Panchuan Mountain Road, the wolf tent will only produce technology at most, and there is no plan to invest in it." ”

As soon as he said this, Shang Yukun was thoughtful, but Lu Fang shouted on the side: "Grandpa, how can this be done, if you don't have to pay for it, how can this mountain road be repaired?" Although I have a lot of ability, I don't have the ability to make money out of thin air, so I don't do it. ”

He had just bragged in front of Ou Zhan and the others, and he was about to do a big job. Seeing Wu Ming say this, he suddenly became anxious. This big word has been said, whether Wu Ming wants to support it or not, but it is really a slap in the face.

"Xiao Lu, don't worry," Wu Ming glanced at him and smiled: "The money is naturally there, but it's not me, it's someone else." ”

"Someone else out?"

Not only Lu Fang and Shang Yukun, but everyone in the tent was aroused, and Yang Yi couldn't help but say, "Where does the money come from?" ”

Yang Yi's appearance in military affairs is impeccable, and he is still unfamiliar with government affairs, and when he saw Wu Ming selling Guanzi, he suddenly felt itchy and couldn't help but ask. After capturing Hanshui, he handed over all the affairs to Situ Du, took the family, and arrived at Tingya, where he now acts as the agent of Wu Mingzhongjun. After a few temperings, he became more and more calm, and the style of a general was even more obvious. Of the people in the tent, Yang Yi was the youngest, but he faintly overpowered the others.

Wu Ming smiled and said, "Money?" Of course, it is the Shang brother who pays it, or in other words, the Shang brother is responsible for finding someone to pay for it. ”

The others were still inexplicable, but Shang Yukun had already reacted and said, "Grandpa, is it to set up checkpoints on the mountain road, and the right to use them is sold on an annual basis, so that the merchants can contract the lot?" ”

"That's right," Wu Ming took another sip of tea and said slowly: "That's what Ben Cheng meant, or Brother Shang knows me." ”

There is a precedent for selling the checkpoint tax and allowing businessmen to contribute to the construction. This method was used when the wolf account repurchased the right to use the four doors from Deng Ge and Zhu Lei.

In the past year, there has been smoke everywhere, although China and the West are in the land of four wars, but surprisingly peaceful, many businessmen have traveled thousands of miles to make a detour. Due to the smooth trade routes and the flow of customers, merchants have already made a lot of money through the guò card tax.

Now that Wu Ming has brought up the old matter again, Shang Yukun immediately thought of this trick. I couldn't help but praise: "It's wonderful." The terrain of the Iwagawa River is steep, and there are many dangers in the big leak mountain, and the old road is full of dangerous places, and it is almost impossible to count the road. However, every year, a large number of merchants are still driven by huge profits to enter and exit this mountain road. No one knows better than them the value of this mountain road, and the grandfather asked them to pay for it, so they really found the right person. ”

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but pat his ass: "Selling the right to use the mountain road and using the card tax to encourage businessmen to invest in the construction of the mountain, this kind of method is estimated to be something that my grandfather can think of, and only you have the courage to do it." ”

Such methods are commonly used on the planet in the 21st century. Wu Ming didn't say much, just said: "In this case, this matter will be handed over to Brother Shang, you just need to give me a rule and regulations." ”

"Yes," Shang Yukun replied happily, already a little impatient: "This matter is sooner rather than later, it is best to take advantage of the fact that these leaders of Iwakawa are finalized during the court, so as not to have too many dreams at night." In this case, the subordinates will leave first, and go down to reason first, how to operate this matter. As he spoke, he stood up.

Wu Ming didn't allow anything, nodded and said, "Okay, you go get busy, Brother Shang." ”

Shang Yukun gave a salute, slowly retreated, and when he walked to the door, he paused, turned his head to look at Wu Ming, and stopped talking. Wu Ming was about to continue discussing the military aircraft with the others, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "What's the matter, Brother Shang, but there's still something wrong?" ”

Shang Yukun thought for a moment before saying, "That's the case, grandpa." A few days ago, I went to visit my teacher and found that Taisho Academy was still in the city, with more than 100 teachers and students crammed into several large tents, and the teaching facilities were very crude. The subordinates had the courage to beg the grandfather to open up a special place to settle them. ”

Wu Ming's heart moved, nodded and said, "Thank you Brother Shang for reminding me, I know about this, and I will not let you down." ”

Shang Yukun opened his mouth again, but in the end he didn't say anything, just saluted and said, "That's it, then thank you grandfather." ”

When he walked out of the wolf tent, Wu Ming sighed secretly in his heart. The merchant is very rich, and if he only replaces the teachers and students of the college, with his ability, then he should ask himself for instructions. When Shang Yukun said this, he just reminded himself that there are many talents in Taizheng Academy, and his teacher Zhou Zihong is a generation of Confucianism, so he must not live up to it.

However, he is already the chief strategist of China and the West, and if he recommends his teacher again, he will be suspected of forming a gang after all. Thinking of He Yizeng's words to remind him, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Shang Yukun is really cautious, and he has acted cautiously to this point, but it is a bit too much. However, as the most important adviser in China and the West, he has never been pampered and arrogant, and his speech and demeanor are even more straightforward, which really makes Wu Ming feel a lot more worried. Thinking of this, he was a little lucky.

Accepting Taizheng Academy, Wu Ming's original intention was to let the mountain chief Zhou Zihong become Wu Siting's enlightenment teacher. Just looking at it, Zhou Zihong misunderstood him. And Wu Ming is now a member of the imperial court, and he is a hereditary prince. Corporal Lixian will do the same, but if he fights for one of his son's enlightenment teachers, and even looks at people's faces, it is indeed a bit forceful. Besides, he doesn't have that much energy to toss.

Seeing Shang Yukun walking out of the wolf tent, Wu Ming thought about it and said to Jian Feiyang: "Brother Jian, you will go to Taizheng Academy tomorrow to have a look, if it is really too simple, find a better location, and the wolf tent will pay for them and place them there." ”

This is not Wu Ming's show, after all, a large group of owners and village owners in Panchuan came all the way to visit. As the top boss and landlord, he must accompany him more a few days ago, so if he has time to go to Taisho Academy?

It stands to reason that Jian Feiyang is a child, and it is really not appropriate to go. This matter is more suitable for Yang Yi, but at worst, Miki is also stronger than Jian Feiyang. But other people also have their own affairs, just Jian Feiyang has just returned from Iwagawa, and he is idle, who will he send if he doesn't send him?

Jian Fei salivated and said, "Grandpa, my subordinates want to prepare for a marriage with Yangfei, so I have time to go, don't go." ”

Zhou Zihong's temper is notoriously stinky, and Jian Feiyang has heard of it for a long time. For this ancestor who can't be beaten or scolded, he is not in the mood to wait.

How could Wu Ming not know his little thoughts, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "How much time can you delay if you go?" Don't shirk, have a better attitude towards Zhou Zihong, and patience will pass. ”

Seeing Wu Ming's insistence, Jian Feiyang had to reluctantly agree, still muttering in his mouth: "Just go, you won't die anyway." ”
