Chapter 169: Cutting Meat with a Soft Knife
Wang Meng never thought that it would be so fast, and now the population and demon beasts under his control have reached this value, but it is not enough, far from enough. At this rate of development, it will take about 5 years for me to reach a population of nearly one million.
And a small city with a population of one million is not as good as Qianshan City on the earth where he is now, if you want to complete the entire modern industrial chain, it is impossible to achieve it without millions of people, and how many years does this need to wait?
Moreover, millions of people can only satisfy part of the industrial chain, so what about commerce and culture? How many people are needed, tens of millions of people, right? Therefore, the introduction of population must be accelerated, and it is being accelerated.
"Minmin, where does the population come from now? What components, do you have any statistics now?"
Of course, Xia Minmin was ready and said, "Of course, we have also investigated the source of the population, most of them are still mortals from the Wei Kingdom, but recently there are more and more monks who have come to visit, travel, and settle, and I have also inquired about the reason, some of them are here to watch the drama and make a pilgrimage, some are here to visit and learn scriptures, and some are purely for fun." ”
If this is the case, it also shows from another side that the soft power of Xiajia Town has covered the entire Wei State, and Wang Meng's cultural sleeping plan has slowly taken effect, relying on film and television, food, novelty goods, and new systems and lifestyles, it has gradually disintegrated the social foundation of Wei that has remained unchanged for thousands of years. I believe that it won't take many years for all the soft power of Xiajiazhen to deeply brainwash all the Great Wei people as a whole.
But this can't solve my dream of exploding the population, and I have to speed it up. Wang Meng said, "The introduction of population must be accelerated, well... Okay, I know, tomorrow we'll all have a meeting to talk about that, you go on. ”
"Now our influence on the Zhao side is gradually expanding, but it is not obvious, mainly some businessmen and farmers come, so I suggest that our film industry and some stores can be opened in Zhao Kingdom. By the way, just recently we have been in communication with the Nabarian tribe, and they have also sent their own caravans to our town to purchase supplies. ”
This information is very important, this barbarian tribe has always been very mysterious, and the territory of those barbarians is very barren. It was almost impossible to see anyone coming to Wei and Zhao, but Wang Meng had also heard that it was a powerful tribal state, only stronger than Wei and Zhao in terms of force.
Their strength is not their monks, but their collective, their culture is also very different from the monks' culture, I heard that they have a large number of warriors, and these warriors are much stronger than ordinary Qi cultivators, and there are more powerful and mysterious spell masters, that is, the so-called shamans. But few people know how it is composed, and it is still a mystery.
But this time, they took the initiative to come out to do business with Xiajiazhen under their command, and the specific intentions were still unclear, and they had to be closely observed. However, the influence of the Zhao State must also be increased in order to absorb more people, and increasing his own power in the Zhao State is also a matter of no harm to himself.
Wang Meng turned his head to look at Boss Qian and said, "Brother, I don't know what your Chamber of Commerce is like in Zhao Kingdom? Isn't your Jianbao Pavilion the largest chamber of commerce organization on the entire road? If we invest in Zhao Kingdom, I don't know if my brother has a way?"
"Of course there's no problem, it's not my brother blowing it to you, this Jianbao Pavilion has existed in the entire Xiuzhen Continent for tens of thousands of years, and every country has our branches, you don't have a problem with this matter, I will write a letter to inform the headquarters of Jianbao Pavilion Zhao Guo in a while, so that they can prepare to cooperate with my brother." ”
Of course, Boss Qian is very shrewd, as long as Wang Meng takes out a part of the so many hidden goods in his hands, the business of Jianbao Pavilion in the entire Xiuzhen Continent will be greatly expanded, take cigarettes as an example, now on the Xiuzhen Continent, almost all the monks of the country already know the existence of this kind of thing, and as the monopoly consumables of the Jianbao Pavilion, the annual profit of cigarettes alone is very amazing, and now cigarettes are simply in short supply in the entire Xiuzhen Continent. Now that he has handed over some secret histories of cultivation to himself, it is even more of a business that makes money every day, and it is nothing compared to his huge profits to help him with this little favor.
"Well, then the good brother depends on you for everything. As he spoke, Wang Meng took out a cigarette and lit it, looking at the various weapons like a mountain in front of him, he couldn't use it, Wang Meng was unwilling, and patience was not his own style, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to sleep well tonight. Since you can't attack Split Cloud County by force for the time being, it's disgusting that he can do it, right?
Thinking of this, Wang Meng's bad water flowed out again, and he said to the people who were with him: "Starting tomorrow, you will let out the wind and say that Xiajia Town will carry out long-term economic sanctions against Split Cloud County from tomorrow. ”
I saw everyone open their mouths and ask in unison, "Economic sanctions?"
Wang Meng nodded and said, "Yes, Liu Suo, you make a record." I saw that Liu Suo quickly took out a pen and notepad, and nodded to Wang Meng.
"Because of the shameless sneak attack by the county magistrate of Liyun County, Xiajia Town has caused great losses of people and property, so Xiajia Town defines this attack as a terrorist attack. First of all, all business and trade exchanges with Liyun County were stopped, and ancillary industries such as movies, books, and snacks were all suspended, and personnel were withdrawn to Xiajia Town. Moreover, all paper money used in Split Cloud County must only be used in Xiajia Town, and it is not allowed to flow a dime to Split Cloud County, and the exchange between paper money and gold and silver in Split Cloud County will be stopped. However, we also welcome the poor people in Split Cloud County to come to live in Xiajia Town, as long as they break with Split Cloud County and come to settle in Xiajia Town, they will be issued with ID cards, given a temporary residence, guaranteed their basic right to live and live, and the town will provide them with jobs to ensure their income. ”
When everyone was dumbfounded, I didn't expect Wang Meng's trick to be too ruthless, this soft knife is actually more ruthless than a hard knife I don't know how many times, now the ordinary people of Split Cloud County have long lacked gold and silver and other currency communication, and that thing is not convenient so they have changed to paper money, Wang Meng stopped the communication and exchange of paper money in Split Cloud County, I don't know how much of a sensation it will cause, and the immigration policy has completely dug up the foundation of Split Cloud County.
Now almost all the people in Split Cloud County know Xiajia Town, know that everyone here is equal and everyone has a job and a wage, for them, the current Xiajia Town is a paradise, and the Chinese people on the earth look at the United States is the same feeling, but those old-fashioned and simple Split Cloud County townspeople rarely have the courage to change their lives in front of them. It's not that they don't want a new life, it's that they can't give up the land where their ancestors have lived for generations.
And the immigration policy in Xiajiazhen is indeed high, which makes them feel scared, afraid that after a few years of hard work, the policy will change again, which is a very common thing in the Xiuzhen world. The power of the government is too great, so in the eyes of mortals, these governments are heaven, and they dare not leave the jurisdiction of heaven. Wang Meng also knew that this was the work of extreme feudal thinking, and he originally planned to change these step by step.
But now there is no need, it just so happens that Xiajia Town is extremely lacking in population, this series of combination punches will not be afraid that Split Cloud County will not fall half, since it has relieved its anger, it has attracted a large number of townspeople, and it can also seriously hit Split Cloud County's economy, military, and other aspects.
