"Since ancient times, this income from military rations and gold has been the main source of income for the forces. ”

"Hmmm... Now in the Three Kingdoms era, this issue is even more important, and the income from infrastructure alone may not be enough to meet the needs of our army, and we need to find further ways to increase revenue. ”

Xu Hong fell into deep thought, what should he think of.

"Hey... I've got a way, hehehehe. Xu Hong snapped his fingers.

Then he summoned Jiang Gan and said directly to him: "I will give you 10,000 gold, and you will have to give me 20,000 gold in a month." ”

Jiang Gan was dumbfounded: "Ming robbery, boss." ”

"No, let you manage the market, these are your capital, I don't care what you do, you are not allowed to break the law, you are free to do the rest, your men, and soldiers are at your disposal. ”

Jiang Gan was sad at first, but when he heard Xu Hong's words, he immediately smiled.

"Really, since the military advisor has spoken, he is not allowed to go back. ”

"A gentleman's words, the horse is difficult to chase. Xu Hong and Jiang Gan high-fived and swore an oath.

Then Jiang Gan took 10,000 gold and left happily.

Xu Hong glanced at him, he felt that a character like Jiang Gan should be able to play well in the market.

"Okay, then, it's about the rations. ”

Xu Hong was a little difficult, because the income from the military rations in his fields was limited.

"Then there is no way, I can only mobilize the snake eyes. ”

He is also very helpless, that is because Xuzhou City is seriously blocked, coupled with years of war, the living space of the people is very closed, on the other hand, because of the fighting, many things have no way to circulate.

"That's the only way, I can't manage the others for the time being, I can only manage the people of the six counties of Xuzhou. ”

Xu Hong's embarrassment is that if he mobilizes the Snake Eye Organization and starts to secretly trade military rations, although he can meet the income of military rations, but if there is more food here, there will be soldiers in other parts of the world who will not be able to eat military rations, and how uncomfortable it is to endure hunger.

"Forget it, I'm a little worried, some soldiers are unrighteous soldiers, I'm afraid of this, I'm afraid of that, but I can't protect anything, it's better to grasp the present, do the current thing, only when I gradually become stronger, have the ability to master other states and counties, and can mobilize more and more soldiers, I have the opportunity to work hard and help them. ”

Only then did Xu Hong clear all the obstacles in his heart, and he didn't let himself be hindered.

"Order the Snake Eye Organization to quickly establish a dark market in Kyushu under heaven, and only trade one item in the dark market, that is, military rations, and try all means to finally get military rations back to Xuzhou, and all the gold needed will be provided by Jiang Gan. ”

"No. ”

He thought of such a way to recycle the development of resources, first to make gold, and then to use the gold to get it, and then to do a good job of military rations, and then sometimes warehouses, after storing more military rations, you can sell them for gold, and when there is more gold, and then when there is a shortage of military rations, you can come in handy, so if you solve it, everything will be much better.

"Hmmm... It's a good idea. ”

Thinking of Xu Hong here, he walked out unconsciously, there was a big river outside Xuzhou City, he didn't know why, he walked to the big river, and after seeing the boats coming and going, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Well, you can also support canal trade and maritime trade. ”

Xu Hong instantly thought that when he was in the Three Kingdoms, river transportation and sea transportation had already risen, for example, Sun Shiwan once sent people to go down to the island at that time, and closely linked that island with the country.

"Hmmm... The most important thing to pay attention to in troubled times is security, so let's just send soldiers to follow, if the trade makes money, these soldiers will specialize in business in the future, and they don't have to fight. ”

Xu Hong soon began to implement, many soldiers were excited, enthusiastically signed up to join, such a good errand, plus someone to protect, and the capital in hand, are willing to do it.

"Okay, it's you, and it's not everyone who wants it, a person with a lively mouth, a bright head, a clever and brave person. ”

After some screening, the caravan specializing in trade was selected, and it was quickly formed, and then these soldiers took off their uniforms, disguised themselves as merchants, and were directly escorted by them, and under the dredge of the snake-eye organization, they began to enter other states and counties.

"Hahaha, it's really good, it's been less than a month, the income in all aspects has increased tenfold, the gold has been provided with military rations, and the business has begun to dry, so next, to stimulate the business travel in this city." ”

Xu Hong profoundly understands the truth that there is no business and no agriculture, and there is no stability in agriculture, so he pays special attention to the balance between agriculture and commerce, and it is not okay to light agriculture and heavy business, and both sides must be grasped, and then he began to add many new markets in the cities of the six counties of Xuzhou, and ordered the market to be liberalized, and the daily trading time was changed to 9 o'clock in the morning and 10 o'clock in the evening every day.

"If it is changed to the time of the Three Kingdoms, it should be the time of the sun, and at this point, it can fully stimulate the vitality of trade, increase the enthusiasm of merchants, and there will be no tax increases, and there will be no other restrictions, so that the money earned by merchants will be hidden. ”

"I asked the government to set the annual grain purchase price, and the government will buy grain every year, so that the peasants will be able to grow grain, and those who grow grain will no longer have to serve as a servant, and these farmers will be able to grow grain with peace of mind, and the children of the peasants, if they have been farming for five years, then their children and grandchildren can enter public private schools for free. ”

"The tuition fee is all exempted, and it is subsidized by the government every month, as for the income of the government, hehehe, naturally the tax of the merchant is collected every month, so that the balance can be achieved. ”

Xu Hong is naturally not stupid, he made a law, for those who are corrupt and pervert the law, they will be killed directly, and no matter who it is, they will be executed on the spot, this move deters lawbreakers.

For a time, Xuzhou City was lively again, all kinds of commercial places bloomed, and then the people made money with their hearts, actively paid taxes, the government was busy with various affairs, and the farmers were happy to farm, so they were all happy.

"The last item is the problem of cloth, as the so-called food and clothing know honor and disgrace. ”

Xu Hong spent a lot of money, recruited all kinds of textile talents, and then ordered a part of the peasants to specialize in planting cotton and other cloth crops, established the government weaving office, and also purchased the women's fabrics, as well as the good cloth they weaved, so that the people in Xuzhou City, there is an additional income, it can be said that these women are happy to weave at home.
