Hu Yaoxian didn't care about the amount of gold and silver that was compensated. The Tiger Clan is different from the Leon Clan, and the concept of currency is more vague. In contrast, Hu Yaoxian paid more attention to territory, population, and food.

……

The road between Panshi Castle and Tenjing City was completed.

The roads referred to here include roads in the normal sense, as well as railways.

The wide road is paved with asphalt, and huge stone mills are pressed over and over again, making it compact and the most advanced formwork for the hardening of the ground in this barbaric era.

Drainage ditches are left on both sides of the roadbed, and rainwater is diverted along the convex road in the middle and collects into the large water storage area along the road. The road is densely vegetated on both sides to ensure that the mountain is stable and reduce the probability of landslides.

The railroad was in line with the standards of the civilized era, and was now hauled by animal power, which, although slow, far exceeded the previous human transport.

With the large number of people moving in, Tianjing City has become increasingly prosperous.

Although the northern barbarians are savage, they have inherited the most important "wisdom" option deep in the bloodline genes.

According to the overall strategic plan formulated by Tianhao, the dragon clan can only implement a planned economy at present. But that doesn't mean that other economic models can't be developed at the same time, especially the small-scale, small-scale private sector that doesn't have a big impact on the overall environment.

Quick-witted people have already opened hotels in Tianjing City. It's also a coincidence that hospitable barbarians would take the initiative to invite friends to their homes, and with the massive use of dragon currency, paid services also came into being.

Many people start to run restaurants, but the dishes and meals are relatively monotonous. The most common is a variety of stews and stir-fries, plus two steamed buns or dough cakes. Under the intentional or unintentional inducement of Tianhao, restaurants in many places in Tianjing City have appeared that serve lunch and dinner. The specific method is not much different from the civilized era, a dish, a bowl of soup, and a staple food. Those who choose the affordable can eat for two auxiliary coins, and those who choose the flavor can get a single fried portion, more quantity, and fresher ingredients from the operator as long as they spend twice the amount of money.

The appearance of the tailor was quite a surprise to Tianhao. In accordance with the practice of the civilized era, he divided the city into four districts, each with a varying number of sub-district offices, and then smaller neighborhoods. The daily necessities of the people in the region are uniformly distributed, especially fabrics. In order to reduce the burden on higher levels of government, it is common practice for each community to be responsible for counting the population and distributing the cloth according to specific quantities on a "household" basis.

Clever people quickly perceived the business opportunity, and some nimble women took the initiative to take on the task of cutting and sewing the clothes of the nearby residents. For a few coins, the cloth sent to them was sent over, and a complete set of clothes could be obtained from them in a few days. In this way, both parties are happy.

The emergence of the decoration industry is directly related to Tianhao. His aesthetics come from the era of civilization, whether it is Tianfeng, Tianmad, Changfeng or Xukun, many people who followed Tianhao all the way from Panshizhai were deeply affected. If you have lived in a tall and bright building, you are not willing to return to the shabby and low cabin, and you are not willing to return to the dirty and dark residence after feeling the comfort of the snow-white walls and clean environment. What's more, Tianhao is becoming more and more powerful, and out of reverence for the regent, people will naturally pay attention to the details of his life, including where he lives.

The walls must be plastered with a smooth surface.

The floor must be filled with cement or slate.

The furniture must be delicate and durable. Of course, if the appearance goes beyond the practicality, it must be the former and reduce the existence of the latter.

The emergence of the wet market was entirely accidental. In the beginning, it was just the old people who stayed at home and had nothing to do, planting in the planned fields, and exchanging their harvests with each other. Eggplant for bitter gourd, prickly gourd for cabbage, radish for green onion...... This is not surprising at all, since no one has the ability to grow all the known varieties of vegetables. Eating the same meal every day will make you feel that the taste is bland, and exchanging them with each other will make it feel fresh. As the number of people exchanging vegetables increased, markets gradually formed in various areas of Tenjing City, and people began to accept the transaction method of currency purchase.

A member of a hunting party was rewarded for his bravery during a hunting trip, giving him a small half of a fang-toothed pig. With only five members in his family, he couldn't digest the meat in a short period of time. Traditionally, pork had to be marinated with salt before it could be stored for a long time. However, the man had other ideas, and he already knew the purchasing power and ease of use of money, and he wanted money more than a few pieces of meat that could have been moldy, rotten, and smelly due to accidents during the curing process.

Tian Hao swore that he had never taught the barbarians the following series of maneuvers———— the man got a lot of branches, cut them into long strips, then chopped the pork into small pieces, sprinkled with salt, skewered on the branches, and barbecued in the open air at night and sold on the spot.

With the first person to operate a kebab barbecue, various different types such as grilled fish, grilled crabs, grilled gophers, grilled bugs, grilled shrimp, grilled clams, grilled offal, etc., soon appeared...... Today, the fame of Cheonggyeong's night market barbecue, cider and wine mixed with water, and sugarcane liquor made from molasses fermentation brought all the way from Jeju Island form the basis for the residents of Cheonggyeongong to enjoy their nighttime pleasures.

The price of the barbecue is very cheap, 20 skewers per coin.

Wine is more expensive, two large glasses of coins, and of course a considerable part of it is water. It's not that Tianhao and the local rulers are deliberately profiteers, but that people are used to this kind of mixed light wine, and it will take time for them to fully accept alcohol.

There is a pay, there is a harvest.

People who do manual labor are very fond of light wine and barbecue, especially pigs. Workers who go up to the mountains to quarry stones or dig peat in the mines are willing to gather together at the end of each day's work, gather a few coins, find happiness in the drunkenness and the delicious taste of barbecue, and raise a glass to congratulate the great regent on his good health.

Military personnel earn very well, and they become another large group of consumers.

This is part of Tianhao's plan. The so-called "high income" is only relatively speaking, comparing the miners and prisoners of war distributed in various places, the income of soldiers is indeed much higher, but it is only 20% higher than the official members of the dragon clan.

Fueling the economy requires a lot of money. Before the official name of the dragon family, the Niu clan mastered the superb alloy ratio technology, coupled with Tianhao's lathe powered by water flow and wind energy, relying on the stamping mode of reciprocating motion, the mints of Tianjing City, Panshi City, and Black Corner City were fully activated, and a large number of beautifully made and unified dragon coins soon appeared on the market.

Salt, metals, grains, spirits...... All commodities listed on the list of strategic goods can only enter the planned economic circle and cannot be circulated in the private mode. Tianhao issued the most stringent regulatory order in this regard: once discovered, the people involved were all over the house.

Luckily, this is a barbaric time. The northern barbarians have a very vague concept of "money". Even the leon, who have been implementing a monetary system for many years, have a significant percentage of civilians who believe that currency is not as secure as food and cloth. They are not interested in shiny round money, preferring to hold piles of wheat and rice, whether they are rotten and moldy or not.

……

Tianhao has a clear understanding of the situation in the north as a whole.

The war against the Tiger Clan can only be achieved with the capture of Iron Jaw City as a phased goal.

From the Tiger Prison Pass to the Iron Jaw City, hundreds of thousands of Tiger prisoners of war were captured. It takes time to digest these people, and instead of simply turning them into slaves, the dragons of their lower status have collectively moved to the north of the continent.

According to Tianhao's latest edict, the common people of the dragon clan are divided into four classes. Among them, the highest level is "citizens", who enjoy the highest preferential treatment in various distribution materials and policies. Most of the citizens are meritorious soldiers, award-winning craftsmen and industry benchmarks, and they focus on cultivating the land and achieving high yields per acre of crops every year.

The second class is "civilian". The group ratio between them and citizens is about seven to three. It is not difficult to see from this that citizens are in fact excellent representatives of the civilian population. Citizens are richer than civilians, but they must be subject to scrutiny from the civilian population. Once the performance of the industry declines, it may be replaced by civilians who want to go further at any time.

The third order is "homeless". Most of the people who made up this group were the Pig people, the Deer people, the Ox people who had been sentenced to punishment and other members of the tribe who surrendered in the late war. Displaced people are less likely than civilians to receive material distribution, but there is no difference in access to jobs and regional management positions. Most of the displaced people are engaged in heavy physical labor, such as quarrying, road construction, mining...... Under normal circumstances, within five years, displaced people can change their status and be promoted to civilians as long as they receive a comprehensive assessment of "qualified" by the manager of the work area.

If it is evaluated as "excellent" for three consecutive years, this assessment period will be shortened.

The fourth class is "sinners". The main source of this group is prisoners of war, and the other is convicts within the dragon clan who are sentenced to hard labor. They are provided with only a minimum material supply, based on the baseline of "being fed", regardless of the quality of the food. Changing status is promoted in the same way as a homeless. In other words, it will take at least six years to go from a criminal to a civilian.

Full integration is the foundation of a strong country. From the very beginning, Tianhao has vigorously advocated the core idea of "there is no tribal division, we are all one family". Whether it was the pig people, the deer tribe, the cattle tribe, or the later joined the mantis and prisoners of war of various ethnic groups, the political workers and regional administrators took the essence of this order to the extreme, and the displaced people and criminals gradually accepted the subjective logic of "labor changes life". Based on them, Tianhao quickly consolidated the underlying structure of the dragon clan.

Of course, there were also fifth-class ———— slaves.

Since last year, Tianhao has eliminated the "slave" group within the dragon clan. The slaves here refer specifically to the northern barbarians. Although Yuan Meng and Zongyu opposed this, they couldn't twist their arms and thighs after all, and under Tianhao's strong suppression, they were forced to pass a new ethnic law, emancipating all the barbarian slaves under the jurisdiction of each branch and turning them into exiles or commoners.

The Dragons Act had an ironclad rule on this: it was strictly forbidden to enslave any tribesman (barbarian) except for whites and blacks.

The aura of illustrious military exploits shrouded Tianhao, and even Niu Lingxiao, the king of the fierce bulls, who had always hated him, had to admit that the young regent was indeed unmatched when it came to fighting against foreign races. Taking the just-concluded battles of Tiger Pass, Gangweicheng, and Tiejaw City as an example, both the area occupied and the prisoners of war captured surpassed the previous kings of the Niu clan, truly writing an unprecedented record.

The Niu and Tiger clans have been fighting for many years, and with the advantage of cavalry and the terrain advantage of the Deer clan intervening in them, the Niu clan rarely wins.

When he received the battle report, Niu Lingxiao was completely stunned.

In fact, as early as when Tianhao led the forbidden army to leave Black Horn City and go to Buck City, he clearly realized that this battle had a great chance of winning. But the huge number of captures in the war report still shocked Niu Lingxiao. He knew that Yuan Meng and Zongyu were more or less reluctant, these two old guys were not so much supporting Tianhao's ascension, but being forced to make a decision by reality...... Now, the ironclad facts are in front of him, and Tianhao has proved his strength with enviable feats and won the respect of everyone.

There are also many problems within the dragon clan, and what needs to be solved urgently is the stability of the order and material supply of the newly built cities in the north.

Large numbers of people have to move inward. Although the northern part of the continent is mountainous, as soon as you cross the first mountain line, there are vast plains and hills. These places are all suitable for living, and the surrounding area is also rich in resources. The reason for the long-term restriction of the development of the cattle tribe is nothing more than the vision of the ruler and the terrain that cannot be changed by technical means.

Most of the road construction work in the northern mountain range has been completed, and a total of sixteen passes have been blown up in the northern area from Tianjing City to Black Horn City. According to Wu Ji's calculations, the first phase of the development of the northern part of the continent will take at least two years from start to finish. With hundreds of thousands of deer, tiger and dragon people migrating north, by the end of next year, the overall situation will be greatly improved, and the grain harvest will not be a problem, especially the population growth within the dragon clan, which will also reach the highest peak in history.

Pastures are an important part of the mainland's northern development plans. To this end, Tianhao specially organized 100,000 people to move to the northwest. Satellite observations of the "old ma" and ancient maps of the cattle tribe show that there is a large grassland suitable for grazing, and it is a large-scale habitat for sheep and cattle.

The variety of meat available cannot be single-minded. The Bighorn Ranch is good, but it is too small to increase the supply of meat and milk. Within two years, the number of sheep and cattle in the northern pastures will increase rapidly. In addition to various dairy products and meat, they also bring a range of by-products including wool and cowhide.

The woolen sweater would become one of the important trade goods from the north to the south.
