said that everyone was invited to speak freely, Wen Huaguo had nothing to say, Wu Henian wanted to say that Hong Jixun would not give him a chance.

The deliberations in the hall have become Hong Jixun's hall of words as usual. He has always been very methodical in his handling of affairs and speeches, and every time he says something, he must first divide out an outline. First of all, the outline is leading; Then divide the discussion and go into detail one by one. Well-founded and eloquent.

His rules can be roughly divided into two categories, one is law and order, and the other is economy. On the contrary, there is not much in administrative construction. He explained: The war is not ending, and it is the day of pioneering and enterprising, the first priority should be in the place of severe punishment and Huairou to settle down, and the second is to cultivate mulberry to fill the warehouse. The rest of the rest, the branches are slight, and it is not enough to consider.

Dunsher thought so.

"Except for the twin cities, in each city, there are garrison generals who are also in charge of military and political affairs, and there is no distinction between army and locality. For the time being, our army is short of talent, and it is wartime, so it is okay to do so for the time being. However, civil affairs can be managed by generals, but local thieves cannot be managed by generals. ”

Armies are used to kill enemies, not to catch thieves. Don't use an elephant to crack a nut? Once abused, the knife will not become a knife, and it will inevitably lose its sharpness. Therefore, the first major task was to set up robbery chambers in the cities.

Because of Wenhuaguo's presence, another reason for setting up a robbery office, Hong Jixun did not say it. The army hunts for thieves, and the Qiu Bamen kill people as usual, too sharp, and kill dozens or hundreds of people at every turn; There is often a phenomenon of harassment of good citizens under the pretext of arresting and stealing.

Take Dingzhou under Chen Hu, for example. Four days ago, there was an incident in which a beggar was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, and he was unlucky, he didn't have long eyes, so he went to steal a shop, and somehow found a hundred households next door.

The hundred households happened to take turns off, and at home, they got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet and just bumped into it, which was completely unexpected, and they were caught off guard and asked the beggar to run away. was known by Chen Hu and was furious. thought that the hundred households were embarrassed and beat them up; Early the next morning, two hundred-man teams were transferred and searched in the city for a whole day, and more than 400 beggars in the city were all arrested.

asked the hundred households to identify, and at that time, in the middle of the night, the three watches made a photo, and they couldn't recognize it. Recalling that the beggar was forty or fifty years old, and there were more than 200 people who met this standard. Is Chen Tuzi's nickname called for nothing? At the sound of an order, all of them were executed, and more than 200 people were killed for one person.

Deng She hadn't returned to Shuangcheng yet, and Hong Jixun was the first to know the news. He couldn't control Chen Hu, and it was too late, and in the end, he couldn't do it. Although Deng She heard about it after he came back, what could he do? It's okay, it's just a beggar this time, what if next time?

"The number of people in the raiders varies depending on the size of the city. One out of three hundred is enough. In addition to catching thieves, it can also be responsible for assisting in local defense and gathering intelligence. The small can be, the robbery office can directly govern the Twin Cities Governor's Office, and the Governor's Office will set up a thief arrest department and send commissioners to each city to be responsible. In this way, the pressure on local generals can also be slightly reduced, so that their energy can be more focused on defense and military affairs. Hong Jixun said.

Deng She nodded in agreement, there are one in three hundred, that is to say, three hundred residents, with one catch, the proportion is a bit high, but one is in a foreign country, and the other is new, so it is better to be safe. said: "Mr. Hong's proposal is excellent. Wu Tongzhi said that from the Arrest Department to the various officials of the Arrest and Theft Arrest Office, I will select qualified people from among my own soldiers. The official seal is based on the letter, and you can do it as soon as possible. ”

Wu Henian received the order, and the workers neatly recorded this article in their notes. He knew that the Arrest and Theft Division was nominally under the governor's office, but in fact Deng She was under direct jurisdiction.

Deng She had to govern directly, and the local generals, either the old people or the new upstarts, no matter which one they were, would not take the Shuangcheng Governor's Mansion, Yao Haogu, and Wu Henian in their eyes. Only Deng She's personal soldiers can make them a little more restrained.

From Chen Hu killing 200 people at a time, it can be seen that these generals are already a little lawless in their respective cities. This momentum must be curbed immediately, otherwise it is very likely to provoke a popular uprising.

In addition, Deng She also fell in love with the convenience of catching and stealing all the information gathered. As the head of an army, for himself or the whole army, he must have a source of first-hand information about the local area.

"The number of people is set according to the 300 people mentioned by Mr. Hong. Two-thirds were selected from the army, and one-third were from local Koreans. Choose a large indigenous household and be your deputy. The thieves were all allocated by the Twin Cities Governor's Office. Deng She asked Wen Huaguo, "Uncle Wen, do you have any opinions?" ”

Although Wen Huaguo didn't care about the place, he felt that it was necessary: "Some local thieves and fleas, we shouldn't be in charge, I don't have to dirty my hands." It's best to have someone in charge. ”

This is the matter that is settled.

One section of public security, Hong Jixun is divided into three. The first article is the first article, and the second article is the confiscation of civilian iron rulers, slingshots and other lethal equipment. Of course, the indigenous people do not have military weapons such as knives, guns, bows and crossbows, but there are still many wealthy and scoundrels such as iron rulers and slingshots. If you don't collect it, you will leave a disaster sooner or later.

Article 3 is divided into two orders. First, it is strictly forbidden to gather for a crowd to assemble; Both are subject to a night fast.

Assemblies are not only assemblies that are conspiratorial and confrontational, but Goryeo, like the Central Plains, believes in Buddhism. Influenced by the tradition of taking the lama as the emperor's teacher, the king of Goryeo also worshiped the king's teacher, and there were temples in almost every city in the twin cities. Adjacent to the hill, there are more temples.

It is strictly forbidden to gather for gatherings, including temples and monks. Gatherings of believers are limited to no more than ten people. In addition, it is forbidden to sing lyrics and gather crowds in the "bazaars" of towns and villages, as well as in the urban tile dang hook columns.

A night ban is enforced, and no candles can be lit at night. The so-called "one watch at three o'clock, the bell rings, and people are forbidden." At five or three o'clock, the drums are moving, and people are listening. "There is no such restriction as to the urgency of official affairs and the death of children and childbirth. Violators will be flogged thirty, and those who have officials will be flogged. When you go out at night on business, you must hold a letter card from the government.

For these two items, Hong Jixun copied the old example of Mengyuan, and Deng She knew the pros and cons well. In a short period of time, the pros outweigh the disadvantages. It is indeed beneficial to suppress the place. All of them were allowed, but they were modified a little, and he said: "It is imperative to strictly prohibit gatherings and implement night curfews. However, the life of the inhabitants cannot be without a little fun. Hook the column to say that the story is not allowed to be sung, and the content of it needs to be specified by the government. ”

All of you here, except for Wenhuaguo, are all fine people. Deng She said that it was all wonderful. Wu Henian patted his legs, shouted admiration, and said: "My lord's strategy, great wisdom, ordinary people can't think of it." praised Deng She, quietly belittled Hong Jixun, killing two birds with one stone.

He volunteered and said: "The villain doesn't dare to boast, the words are small, and he has a little dabbling." But the adults will leave the matter to the villain, and choose the right one, and the adults will be satisfied. ”

Deng She nodded, except for Wu Henian, he really couldn't find a second suitable candidate. "Remember, two principles. First, highlight that our Central Plains and Goryeo are brothers, and they are a family; Second, find more "Dou E's Injustice" and the like. ”

The play "Dou E's Injustice" is widely sung in the Central Plains, and everyone knows and knows it. With the help of the infection of this kind of drama, the contradiction can be imperceptibly pointed to the opposition between the rich and the poor.

Deng She thought about it, he couldn't be too rigid, if Limin resisted because of this, the gains outweighed the losses; Added: "In addition to the above two, you can also occasionally intersperse some relaxing and entertaining tunes. ”

Considering that most of the natives did not understand Chinese, he explained to Luo Lilang: "Wu Tongzhi is not good at Goryeo, how to translate Chinese into Goryeo, how to let the indigenous storytellers and singers learn, Luo Zhizhong has to make a lot of efforts." ”

Luo Lilang said in a loud voice: "The general is assured, the general is assured." He was not even as good as his daughter in front of Deng She, and Luo Guannu at least dared to talk to Deng She. He's fine, he doesn't have anything else to say except to be a sound worm.

Deng Sheti pointed to Wu Henian: "To treat it as a major event, within ten days, sort out the script and the song book, and hand it over to me to see." Specific to the details, Wu Henian proposed that there are not many gentlemen and actors in the city, which is a problem. Deng She thought about it for a moment and said, "General He's subordinates are from many untouchables, and there will be storytellers and singers, I will give him orders, pick them out, and hand them over to the governor's mansion." ”

Speaking of this, there was an inspiration, not only that the inhabitants did not have much fun in life, but the soldiers had even less fun. In addition to horns and willow shooting, you can add some entertainment activities.

He thought about it for a while, considered it maturely, changed his mind, and said, "The selected soldiers have set up a special camp, which is called the Le Camp. You are still in the military and can be seconded to you temporarily. Local artists, you should cultivate and supplement them as soon as possible. ”

Wu Henian should be, promised: "Within a month, adults will be able to see the first scene." ”

When they discussed, Hong Jixun was just cross-legged on one side, drinking tea and tea. He has a bad taste, he only drinks Xiangyang Longzhong tea, Deng She doesn't have it, he brings it with him. Seeing that their discussion was over, he spoke: "The three rules of public security, as long as they are implemented effectively, for now, they can ensure that the place is fine."

"When the place is safe, farming needs to be stepped upon. The barren land in Ningyuan Zhucheng accounted for seven or eight out of ten, and even the twin cities were not completely reclaimed. Xiao Ke suggested that under the government of the governor of Shuangcheng, a department of persuading agriculture should be set up, and a special envoy should be set up to persuade agriculture to be responsible for the reclamation and cultivation of the cities. Candidates for peasant envoys can be selected from the army like generals to serve as non-commissioned officers with agricultural backgrounds. Transfer to military status and become official status. ”

There are several reasons why the land is barren and unplanted. One because of the war, the landlord ran away or died, and the land was wasted; One is because the tenants have run away or died, and the landlord has a large amount of land and cannot find a human race; One is because of the lack of ploughing cattle and seeds; One of the most important is that because of the incessant war and heavy taxes, people cannot farm with peace of mind.

Once the land is planted, whether it can survive until the autumn harvest is a question; If you stay up until the autumn harvest, whether you can harvest it and put it into the warehouse is a question; After boiling until the harvest, in addition to the rent paid to the landlord and the state, how much can fall into his own hands, and is it enough to survive? It's a problem.

Therefore, persuading farmers to cultivate mulberry is not a simple sentence, nor can it be solved by setting up a persuasive peasant envoy. Hong Jixun listed in detail the various countermeasures to deal with the various problems that would arise.

In this regard, Wu Henian and Luo Lilang also have a lot of say. The two of them, one old and one native, know the truth. Combined with Hong Jixun's countermeasures, several people expressed their opinions.

If the landlord runs away or dies, it is easy to solve, including the original official land, school field, etc., and all the land that has been abandoned for more than one year is taken into public ownership. Those who have cultivated on ownerless land shall be recognized as having the right to own the land and shall be given a deed of land to the Great Song Dynasty. The land of officials and large households will not be moved. In fact, the cities have already done this shortly after the city was broken.

The commons were divided into two parts, 50 percent for the poor, 2 percent for meritorious soldiers, and 30 percent for military fields. In some cities, Ding Zhuang is extremely scarce, and the land cannot be divided, so they stay to attract displaced people, and where there are displaced people to settle down, the first year's rent is exempted. The fugitive landlords, who were willing to migrate back within the first year, had to cultivate first.

The rents in each city were uneven, and the high ones reached seventy or eighty percent, and the tenants and farmers basically ran out of surplus grain after paying the rents. Here is the reason why the tenants fled to the wasteland: arable land, no arable land, the same life without food; It is better to plow than not to plow.

In response to this crux, Deng She has ordered to reduce the rent and collect tithes. Ninety percent of local households were killed; The remaining 10% could not save their lives, and no one dared to object. Smoothly and smoothly.

It doesn't matter if there is a shortage of seeds, once the autumn harvest is over and the grain is sufficient, the government can come forward to allocate the seeds and distribute them to the cities. It's just that ploughing cattle and farming tools are not easy to do. There were originally few cattle in the cities, and according to Hong Jixun's plan before, after Kecheng, most of them were plundered back to Shuangcheng. It is even worse for Tokugawa and other places.

What to do?

"It's impossible to go back. This is an established strategy and cannot be changed. Hong Jixun also made a hesitation, and it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

Luo Lilang was very conscious and took the initiative to say: "In the villain's family, there are still some cultivated cattle, and they are willing to donate them for the use of households without cattle." What a rare opportunity to show loyalty, he refused to let go, and let himself and others, and said, "The big families in the city also have a lot of free cattle to cultivate, if the adults agree, the villains can persuade them to take it out and hand it over to the government for distribution." ”

Deng She said: "Luo Zhizhong is selfless, I am very happy. A few words of praise were casually spoken. Luo Lilang was honestly frightened, happy in his heart, and said clumsily: "Share worries for adults, and do the duty of villains." ”

Wu Henian said: "Even if there are large households cultivating cattle, the villain estimates that in the cities, there must still be more land and less cattle, which is not enough." After all, he has been a local official for a long time, is familiar with the situation in counties and townships, has a lot of field experience, his eyes lit up, he thought of an idea, and said, "My lord, it is better to put together the cattle and farm tools in each city, and use them in a unified manner in the village community." Or, you can solve an urgent need for a while. ”

His idea made Deng She's eyes shine even more.

The original household head system in Goryeo has been roughly adapted into the Baojia system and the village community system. Deng She thought about it, agreed with Wu Henian's opinion, and said: "There are fifty households in one society, which is a bit small. With two cooperatives as one large commune, each large commune establishes a cooperative, which is under the jurisdiction of the peasant envoys of each city. Concentrate on cattle, farm tools, and seeds, and plan the deployment. If it is insufficient, it can be applied to Shuangcheng and given as appropriate. ”

He further contacted the fact that the cities were sparse due to the war, and that the cities were a little better, especially the village communities, where the circulation of goods was difficult, and said: "In addition to cultivating cattle, the government can also give each large community some daily necessities, such as grain, oil, cloth, salt, etc., and sell them to the villagers." The price is set by the Twin Cities Governor's Office and cannot be high. ”

Some of his recruits came from the cities, and more from the villages. Although they were given land to their families, it was not easy to return their absolute loyalty. Sending the Buddha to the west, the policy was simply a little more skewed, and said: "The use of ploughing cattle is close to the military family first; If the military family is not strong enough, the cooperative will contribute labor to help with farming. Grain, oil, cloth, and salt are half-price discounts for military households.

"On festivals, the rural communities need to be persuaded by the peasant envoys to personally come forward and send some condolences to the military families. Informal and emotional. Two catties of salt, three catties of fruit, and that's it. The chief Jiasheng in the city square will do as usual. In each city, it is also necessary to set up cooperative-based shops, transportation and logistics according to the fang, which can be called ,......" and I can't think of a suitable name for a while.

Wu Henian said with a smile: "Listen to the meaning of adults, the cooperative is actually on behalf of the government to balance prices and exchange goods, why not call it a * store?" ”

Dunshe smiled and agreed. Wu Henian frowned and said, "My lord's intentions are good, and I really need these government-run shops at present. It's just that the adults have ever thought that if the military family buys something, they don't use it themselves, and they sell it monopolly, the government will lose money. ”

Deng She really didn't expect that Wu Henian looked at him speechlessly, smiled busily, and said: "A wise man has a thousand thoughts, and there must be a mistake; A fool thinks a thousand times, and he will get one. The villain has one, and it seems that he can fill the loophole a little. ”

He's really good at talking. Deng She smiled and said, "You can tell me." ”

"It's better to give it in rations. Each military household is given a monthly ration of grain, oil, cloth, and salt, and if it exceeds it, it is bought at a fair price. In this way, the affection of adults has also arrived, and they are not afraid of being troubled by the people. ”

"Very good." Since it was said that the treatment of military households, Deng She simply turned his head and brought up the matter of land division again, saying, "In the future, if anyone who is willing to join the army in the occupied city, his family can first give him good land." Military households have the right to give priority to the reclamation of unclaimed wasteland. ”

In matters of the army, Wenhua has the right to speak. He said loudly, "General, this method is good!" Take good care of his family, and the dogs will give us their lives on the battlefield! ”

The cultivation of local fields is roughly like this. The land allocated to meritorious soldiers, if you don't want it, you can sell it to the government or the army for money; If you want, you are allowed to recruit the local poor as tenants, instead of farming, and the government and the army will manage them in a unified manner.

As for the military fields, only the twin cities have begun to cultivate, and the other cities are understaffed and all of them are idle. Although it is not the planting season, you have to plan ahead, and it is not a matter of being idle.

Hong Jixun's opinion: "In the Kedechuan Prefecture, more than 6,000 Ding Zhuang brought back to Shuangcheng, plus more than 3,000 Goryeo prisoners earlier, a total of 10,000 people. Our army won a series of great victories, and received a lot of food and weapons. Small can be, can choose its strong army, the rest, as Tuntian. They are stationed in various cities, cultivate in their spare time, do occasional drills, and defend the city in wartime. There is only one rule, that the people of this city shall not be allowed to settle in this city. North-south intermodulation, such as the Jiangjie boundary in Dingzhou; Jiangjie is stationed in Dingzhou. ”

Speaking of which, the earlier conscription of 7,000 people has not been digested so far, and the expansion of the army is too hasty and has drawbacks. But it can't be done, it needs to be done. Guan Duo went south and the Koreans went north, and the two major pressures were on their shoulders, and it was better to have one more soldier than one less.

Deng She calculated that for 1,000 new soldiers, there should be at least 22 officers above the head of 100 households; Ten captains and a hundred men.

The existing 7,000 new pawns, more than 10 captains, are all elite veterans, plus 1,000 households and 100 personal soldiers. A thousand people went at once. It is not good if the officers are not equipped, otherwise, they will be scattered, have no combat effectiveness, and it will not be easy to train.

There are only 12,000 old soldiers in total, and it is unbearable to move on such a large scale. After all, ensuring the combat effectiveness of the pawn comes first. Deng She decided that this time, only 5,000 new pawns would be recruited, and the flow of four or five hundred old pawns was still within an acceptable range.

Among them, the ratio of Han people and beauties is two to three, two thousand Han soldiers and three thousand beautiful soldiers. The army was expanded repeatedly, and the ordnance was insufficient, so the Han soldiers were supplemented first, and then the Li soldiers. Lu Qianwu was responsible for supervising the production of firecrackers and arrows, and gave a new task to cast weapons. Set up a thousand households of ordnance, and the position of thousands of households was temporarily held by Lu Qianwu.

The northern part of Goryeo is mountainous, rich in copper and iron ore, and there is no problem with raw materials. There are also craftsmen, and the number of craftsmen in the camp has reached four or five hundred, of which blacksmiths are relatively large.

These 5,000 new pawns tried not to be summoned from among the descendants. Most of the soldiers were from the south of Goryeo, and Deng She preferred to believe in the latter than the northern natives who had been divided into land and had preferential policies.

After recruiting new soldiers, there were still four or five thousand people left, and according to Hong Jixun's opinion, the Tuntian Thousand Households Office was formally established. The previous cultivation of the military fields in Shuangcheng has been supervised by He Guangxiu and Wu Henian. handed over to Ha Mitsu so; Wu Henian took time out to concentrate his energies on persuading farmers and cooperatives. The Goryeo untouchables, who were originally transferred to Tuntian, were all disbanded and replaced by these four or five thousand people to farm.

Deputy Wanhu River Guangxiu, in this regard, has another title: supervising the Tuntian envoy. In addition to the thousands of people in the headquarters, he is also in charge of five Tuntian and thousands of households. Thousands of households and hundreds of households in Tuntian, like the peasant envoys, were selected to serve as veterans from agriculture in the army. In addition to the one in charge of Tuntian, there are also 100 soldiers in each thousand-household office, who are responsible for vigilance and drills, and they are selected from the headquarters of Ha Guangxiu.

He Guangxiu's loyalty is right, Tuntian did a good job a while ago, Juntun is a big thing, Deng She can't rest assured after all. After hesitating for a moment, he added a deputy envoy to supervise Tuntian, but there was no suitable candidate at hand, so he simply let the generals of each city serve as him. There is no need to be responsible for the details, mainly responsible for supervision and inspection.

Ha Guangxiu was not present, and this appointment will be talked about later.

The land is cultivated, before and after, several small movements, so far, it can be regarded as a general stereotype. Deng She really breathed a sigh of relief, if the land is stable, the cultivation will be stable, the cultivation will be stable, the rent will be stable, the rent will be stable, the grain will be stable, and the grain and salary will be stable, and the army will be stable.

There is a way: Shinong industry and commerce. Nongding, then the industry and commerce.

Most of the craftsmen in the cities were in the craftsman's camp, and although there were not many left in the city, they were barely enough to meet the needs of the inhabitants of the lands. Leave it alone for now.

Business is more important. Hong Jixun's article is presented, and the importance attached to it is second only to agriculture. Coming to the twin cities, Deng She has done several small-scale local constructions, involving politics and agriculture, but only business, and has no time to manage.

Many shops in various cities were destroyed by the war. Without shops, goods cannot be circulated; If goods cannot be exchanged, the place cannot be safe. This is the reason why there are semi-official shops such as cooperatives and * shops in Dunshe.

However, the official does not mean that it is omnipotent. After the destruction of the cities, most of the goods and goods were in the hands of the plundering soldiers and troops. The army can take it out, and the soldier's hand can buy it at a low price and supply it to cooperatives and stores.

Maybe it won't be a problem for a while. After a long time, there is no in, only out, and there will be a big mess.

Hong Jixun said: "Now our army is separated by the Yalu River in the north and blocked by the mud river in the south. Pyongyang to the west, blocking traffic. In terms of the situation of the twin cities, it is really a closed place. I have a salt farm by the sea, and there is no shortage of salt; But what about the others?

"Don't say anything else, just cloth this one, making single clothes for the whole army, has already looted all the cities, it's not enough. Seven thousand new soldiers, most of them wearing their own clothes. When I entered the barracks, I was dazzled, like a bazaar, and there was no neat and solemn atmosphere. Not to mention, another 5,000 new soldiers have joined the army. If there are weapons, how long will it take to build 5,000 weapons? If so, how long will it take?

"Yes, the foundation of business is how to attract foreign businessmen for what I lack."

"How do you recruit them?"

"Business to pursue profits, allow it to be profitable, and it will come bustlingly. Whatever is needed by our people, they are exempt from taxation, and the government can give them rewards; Whatever our military needs, we will give them a high price. The merchants have come, and the local government must respect and respect them, and treat the guests with no detention or embarrassment except for meticulous work.

"However, when the people's wealth is exhausted. Twin cities and other places are not rich. Therefore, it is necessary to be discerning in dealing with businessmen who come to us. While encouraging the import of necessities, the import of luxury goods, non-military and civilian necessities, as well as the export of military and civilian necessities, is strictly prohibited. ”

Deng She pondered for a moment and nodded: "But you can't wait passively, I think, you have to take the initiative to go out." It would be nice to find a suitable business channel and several fixed supply channels. ”

Hong Jixun said: "Not bad. To go out, there are only two ways. One went to Liaodong, and the other went to Goryeo. Goryeo is rich, all in the south, choose fine and reliable soldiers, disguise to go south, or you can get it. You can also go along Datong Jiangxi, to the sea, there are often two Zhejiang, Shandong merchant ships, you can also contact to buy. The only trouble is that I can't get it back.

"Liaodong is far away, but it is much safer. I have a new Jiangjie, a distance of 100 miles from the Yalu River, and the road is easy to walk, cross the river to the west, and go to Liaoyang; To the south, go to the states of Jinshi, you can do it. When he said this, he smiled at Deng She, "You can even cross the sea from southern Liaoning and go to Shandong by boat." Purchase required. ”

"Coming back from southern Liaoning, the distance is not close, I'm afraid it's not very safe?" Wu Henian objected.

Hong Jixun said: "Last time, the soldiers sent by the general to southern Liaoning came back with a lot of gains. If he was able to bring back the goods, it was feasible. He reported this matter to Deng She, and the soldier brought back hundreds of catties of gunpowder alone, and more other goods, which indeed proved that this road was feasible.

Deng She nodded, Wu Henian immediately stopped questioning, pushed the boat down the river, praised Hong Jixun with a few words of foresight, and actively proposed a solution to another problem: "Money." Twin cities produce gold, but a few ingots a year; The looting of the treasury of the cities seems to be a lot, and it is used quickly.

"The villain thinks that it is not enough to open up a business road and just buy it; It has to be sold, too. There are salt, ginseng, mink and other wild things in the mountains, and their skins can be sold. "The surrounding areas of Shuangcheng are really poor, Wu Henian racked his brains, and he thought of so much to make money.

Hong Jixun sneered and said: "Ginseng, mink skin, valuable things, how many people can afford them in troubled times?" Even if there is progress, there are very few. Salt is good, but there are salt farms in western and southern Liaoning, and the profits are not as good as those inland. ”

Wu Henian smiled all over his face, nodded again and again, and admitted: "If you don't think about your humble position, what is Mr. Hong's opinion?" ”

Hong Jixun said: "Copper, iron, coal, wood. Expand the scale of 1,000 munitions and speed up excavation and felling. These are things that no matter who you need. He paused slightly, looked over everyone's faces, and said, "In addition, Xiao Ke has a good plan, but I don't know if the general will do it." ”

Deng She and Hong Jixun have been together for so long, and they know his character better. He has always been straightforward, and occasionally wants to indulge in the past, which means that it is his proud pen, and said with a smile: "Although Mr. said, it is feasible, and I will follow it." ”

"The most powerful person in Liaodong, dare to ask the general, who is it?"

Still need to ask, Deng She didn't think twice, and said: "Guan Pingzhang, Nahachu, Gao Jianu, everyone." ”

"Who is the second-most powerful?"

"Generals in the army."

Hong Jixun no longer asked Deng She, but instead asked Wen Huaguo: "Dare to ask General Wen, how many things are available for you to choose, ginseng, mink skin, salt and iron, and beauty, which one will you choose?" ”

Wen Huaguo had already been drowsy when he heard it, he slept late last night, and when he returned from the banquet, he had a half-night fight with the old brothers. Dozing off, he was asked by Hong Jixun and replied casually: "Natural beauty." "I said it, I was a little sober, and I added, "It's best to match it." ”

Hong Jixun smiled, turned around, and said: "The battle on the battlefield is nothing more than power and beauty. There are not many in my twin cities, but there are many Korean women. The general can buy the poor, dress them up a little, teach them to sing and dance, and sell them for a thousand dollars. ”

Deng She was stunned. Wu Henian changed his complexion and said angrily: "Bold! As a general of tens of thousands of households in the Great Song Dynasty, how can he follow the example of a shameless villain and become a human trafficker? And with ulterior motives, he said, "Bullying men and women, is Mr. trying to provoke a civil uprising?" Hong Jixun taught him a lesson with these words, and he has always been obsessed, and he took out a counterattack at this time.

Hong Jixun was disdainful, took a sip of tea in the bowl, and said: "There are as many places as there are people buying and selling."
