The matter of salt is solved, and with such a good geographical advantage, He Huan feels that it should have been used a long time ago.

It's just that there were too many things before, and he couldn't spare time until this time.

With the function of double speed, the construction is accelerated by 200%, and the construction of the prosperous city is also extended to the seaside.

After all, this is a coastal city, and the underground city in the northwest should be included, and the coastal location in the southeast should also be planned.

According to He Huan's current plan, after the completion of Fancheng, the area will be larger than that of Zhiyang City, and it is not a problem to accommodate three or four hundred thousand people.

It's just that there is a big city, but there are no people living there, and it feels like a ghost town.

Regarding the population issue, He Huan can no longer think about absorbing barbarians.

The surrounding barbarians have already been absorbed, and no matter how far away they are, there is no time to go now.

So, He Hui hit the idea on the homeless people and refugees.

"I heard that there was a famine in the middle of summer this year, and many refugees fled to Huizhou." He Hui said.

Xia Zhong is a state in the middle of the Great Xia Empire, and its area is not large, more than half of the smaller than Yuezhou.

However, there is a large population there, and this year there is a famine, and if there are refugees anywhere, it is definitely the largest there.

In the past, He Huan didn't dare to think about absorbing refugees or anything, but now the bustling city is vast and sparsely populated, and the food is abundant.

There is no problem at all in feeding tens of thousands of people.

He didn't think that he could attract all the refugees in the middle of the summer, but it would be a good thing to be able to come in the tens of thousands.

And absorb the population, the poorer the better.

Because such people are easy to control, just like those barbarians brought by King Mumu at the beginning.

They were eager for food, and He Hui gave them food, and it was because of this that he was able to hold them firmly in his hands.

The same is true for those refugees, and since they are originally Xia people, they will be easier to control than barbarians.

Wang Xiu nodded and said: "Exactly, there was a locust plague in the middle of summer this year, which can be said to be no harvest, and in addition, there are few people in the land, and the surplus grain is not enough for the people of a state to eat.

A few days ago, Guo Qin sent some information, including the matter of refugees in the middle of Xia, and it is said that 50,000 people have fled to Huizhou. ”

"Fifty thousand! That's not a small amount. He Hui thought for a while and said: "In this case, you will spread the news, saying that I have entered Yuezhou, the prosperous city is vast and sparsely populated, and there is abundant food, if you want to come here, you can provide food, clothing, housing and transportation, and participate in the work is even more generous!" ”

Once people escape, they are almost aimless, and it is only because of the proximity of Huizhou that most people will flee there.

They don't even know if they will have food when they go to Huizhou.

As long as there is news, Yuezhou Fancheng is willing to accept them, and as long as they come, they will release food for disaster relief, and I believe that they can attract a large number of refugees to come here.

It's just that in the middle of summer, it's far away from Fancheng, and Huizhou is a big state in the middle, and the area is not smaller than Yuezhou, so it is not enough to rely on those refugees to come on foot.

It is estimated that before he arrived in Yuezhou, he had already starved to death on the way.

He Hui thought for a while and said: "This time I am going to send someone to Ganzhou to buy horses, during which I need to pass through Huizhou Mocheng, if there are refugees there, I will accept it directly!" If it's not much, then take a detour, go to the middle of the summer again, and pick up those refugees directly. ”

Wang Xiu nodded and said: "This method is also feasible, but in this way, a large number of ships are needed, and now Fancheng is only a merchant ship, which was sent by Liu Wei." ”

"Then let him send a few more, and they should be bigger, the bigger the better!" He Hui thought for a while and said, "If he doesn't want to, then pay for it!" ”

He Huan thought about it, but still felt that something was wrong, and he went to buy everything somewhere else, which was never a long-term solution.

The best way is to be self-sufficient, and in that case, it is better to build your own ship.

Thinking of this, He Huan said: "In a while, you will order someone to build a shipyard, and we will also build our own shipbuilding!" ”

Wang Xiu hesitated a little and said: "Yangcheng is along the river, the waterway is developed, and there are indeed many shipyards in it, but the shipbuilding technology is in the hands of the family, and those families are definitely unwilling to hand over this technology." ”

"Won't they spend money on it?" He Hui said.

"I won't want to." Wang Xiu shook his head.

A technology is in the hands of the people, as long as it is not exterminated, there will be a possibility of re-emerging.

Technology is knowledge, and knowledge is power, which is equivalent to the family's family learning, that is, the heritage.

They may be without money, but they can't be without technology, they can't be without foundation.

This is equivalent to their lifeblood, and naturally it is impossible to sell.

Wang Xiu said: "You can only buy a boat directly. ”

He Huan frowned, he may not have thought of the family when he sold salt just now.

But now that it has been proposed, he also understands what Wang Xiu was embarrassed about just now.

It's just that he doesn't want to deal with the family now, and it is still the family of Yangcheng, not under his own rule.

He Huan is now a little fortunate that Fancheng did not have a family because of the poverty at the beginning.

However, when Fancheng becomes stronger and stronger, the family will definitely appear slowly.

But that's all for later, He Hui already knows in his heart that in terms of formulating laws, he will set some rules that restrict the family.

Since the family exists, there must be a reason for its existence.

What He Huan wants to do now is not to erase, but to restrict.

"It's too expensive to buy a boat." He Huan shook his head, now he is worried about money.

Buying a horse is a big expense, and if you buy a few more big ships, it is estimated that you can make the newly wealthy Fancheng poor in an instant.

He Huan thought for a while and said: "You go and talk to Liu Wei, just say that I want to build a shipyard, lack of technical personnel, let him provide some, it's really not good, then cooperate with the shipbuilding family in Yangcheng, and we will provide resources, and they will build." ”

If the family builds ships, then they also need materials, and it costs money for them to buy materials elsewhere.

And He Hui is willing to provide materials at a low price, and those families will agree.

Or He Harmony provides materials for free and allows them to build ships, while He Harmony pays for manpower and so on.

As long as they need it, they have to do what they are asked to do.

As long as this consensus can be reached, He Hui doesn't mind cooperating with them at all.

In short, in a word, now is not the time to deal with those family snakes.

"Yes!" Wang Xiu nodded.

Providing resources for them to build ships is indeed a lot cheaper than buying them outright, and it is also a good way to do it.

In this way, the ship will be there, and it will not offend the families.

As the prince of a country, he is willing to lower his status and share the profits with you, as long as those families are not stupid, there will be no dissatisfaction.

But it's not a long-term solution.

"I can only hope for Liu Wei, I don't know if he can get the shipbuilding technicians." Wang Xiu thought.

"Now that the city is getting bigger and bigger, and there is an urgent shortage of manpower, you should first rent some large ships, go to Ganzhou to buy horses, and go to the middle of the summer to bring back as many refugees as you can." He Hui said.

"Yes!" Wang Xiu took the order and retreated.

He Hui gave this matter to Wang Xiu to do, and with his current ability, I believe it can be completed very well.

After Wang Xiu left, He Huan continued to sit in the ruling hall, recalling the conversation just now, he suddenly remembered a sentence.

That is, the information was sent by Guo Qin.

You can't even get the information yourself, and you have to rely on someone else?

What if the other party sends false information?

He Hui felt that this problem was very serious, he thought about it and decided to set up an intelligence agency.

He thought about it and ordered someone to find Lu Zixiao.

Lu Zixiao was a student who volunteered to come from Yangcheng before, and he has always followed Wang Xiu to do things.

Wang Xiu had a very good evaluation of him, and he was also extremely loyal to Fancheng.

Since he came to Fancheng, he has participated in many things, and he is extremely optimistic about Fancheng, and later even took the initiative to relocate his family to Fancheng.

Being able to do this can also show how loyal he is.

He Hui was going to leave the matter of collecting intelligence to him.

Anyway, apart from him, he can only find Wang Xiu.

And Wang Xiu is estimated to bring Lu Zixiao with him in the end, so it is better to go directly to him.

Lu Zixiao's face is white and beardless, white and pure, he is twenty-one years old, and his ancestors can be regarded as scholars.

It's just that the family fell into the middle of the road and gradually fell down, but it can be regarded as a family history.

Until now, his family is only a family of four.

In addition to him, there are two parents, plus an old servant.

Regarding his background information, He Hui also investigated.

This kind of person can be described in one sentence, that is, the roots are red, and they can be cultivated with confidence.

After seeing He Huan, Lu Zixiao saluted respectfully.

When He Huan conveyed this matter to him, for some reason, he suddenly stood in place, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

"What? What questions do you have? He Hui asked.

Lu Zixiao raised his head at this time, but he was still frowning, and said, "Your Highness, for some reason, I have always been inexplicably contemplating lately.

Whenever someone says something to me, I can't help but put myself in the other person's perspective to think about the problem, and even get stuck in it, unable to extricate myself. ”

"Oh?" He Hui became a little interested, isn't this a sign that the spiritual ability is about to awaken?

Could it be that this young student from Yangcheng is also going to awaken his spiritual ability?

It seems that the starlight rain caused by the meteorite that day has a great impact, and it is estimated that many people are like this in the current Great Xia.

He Harmony thought.
