The northern wilderness is poor and sparsely populated. Nature's Sounds

As the main battlefield of the troubled times thousands of years ago, the Northern Wilderness suffered extremely heavy losses.

Eight hundred years ago, when the Emperor of Heaven divided the princes, the princes of the Northern Wilderness were the poorest.

Not only did they face the constant wars of the alien races in the Northern Wilderness, but they were also plagued by saline-alkali mud swamps everywhere, unable to obtain sufficient food sources, and the situation of sparse population was not changed for a long time.

The Xing State is located in the northernmost part of the 76 countries in the Northern Wilderness, not only the most frequent wars, but also the destruction of the country twice and heavy losses, and the vast land and sparse population are expressed to the extreme.

In addition to the dense population around the national capital, the remaining seventy-two cities and thousands of vassals and fiefdoms are scattered on the northern wilderness, and the rest are all uninhabited wilderness.

The Qing clan's fiefdom itself is in the northern frontier of Xingguo, and even within Xingguo it is known as sparsely populated, and it is too difficult to recruit a large number of people.

If he gritted his teeth and offered superior conditions, Qingyang could also recruit thousands of Chinese people, and if he was not afraid of offending all the vassals of Xing State, he could barely do it by digging up walls everywhere and recruiting 10,000 or 20,000 people.

But it is really difficult to recruit 300,000 people, let alone complete this number within a year, Qingyang thought for a long time and couldn't help but shake his head again and again.

"The old man has a suggestion!"

The old man's eyes flashed, and he said with a confident smile, "Not only are there many people in Zhongzhou, but there are also a large number of slaves among the ministers and doctors.

Most of these slaves were the remnants of the previous dynasties, as well as the great wilderness people who were plundered, and after the death of the ministers and doctors of various countries, most of them were buried as slaves.

If you don't dislike the lowliness of slaves, you can send someone to buy slaves, and the old man also has some connections to help you buy the cheapest slaves, and ensure that half of them are young and strong. ”

"The old gentleman said this very kindly!"

Qingyang showed surprise on his face, and thanked him, "Whether it is a Zhongzhou native or a slave of the minister, as long as it is a human being, please ask the old gentleman to bother more." ”

Before the words fell, Qingyang took out a thousand spars, although they were not as big as the apricot pits, but the quality did not fall behind at all.

This kind of strong local tyrant style made the old man's eyelids jump, even if he was used to seeing big scenes, he rarely saw so many precious spars at one time.

"Seven-grade spar!"

The old man pinched up two spars, put them in the palm of his hand and studied them carefully, the spar the size of his little finger cap, shining with crystal luster, made him full of emotion,

"The cultivation of the land of Zhongzhou is prosperous, and the consumption of spars is more, and each such spar can be exchanged for a thousand horses of fine cloth, and ten pieces of cloth can buy a strong slave.

This thousand grains of spar is enough to buy 100,000 slaves, but the land of Zhongzhou is tens of thousands of miles away, and the journey is long and difficult.

If you want to transport a large number of people back to the Qing fiefdom, you have to spend at least half of it to buy supplies, and this discount can be exchanged for a maximum of 50,000 slaves. ”

"Don't be afraid of how much money you spend, let the old gentleman do it!"

The spar reserves full of a palace made Qingyang extremely arrogant and generous, "As long as it can be exchanged for a sufficient population, the spar is not a problem at all!"

Qiu Niang's expression moved, and she also smiled: "The people of Zhongzhou live in a rich land, but I am afraid that it is difficult to be willing to come to the bitter cold land of the Northern Wilderness, so it is better to buy slaves with all these spars!"

"Haha, it's not enough to just buy slaves!"

Mr. Puyang shook his head at Qiu Niang and smiled,

"If the 300,000 people of the Qing clan are all composed of the Great Wilderness people and Zhongzhou slaves, no matter how you publicize it in the future, outsiders will still be full of vigilance.

Since the Qing clan has strong financial resources, if they want to truly integrate the slaves and wild people into the Xing State, they must recruit a large number of Chinese people, and among the 300,000 people, the Chinese must occupy at least more than 30%. ”

"But it's really hard to recruit Chinese people. ”

As the head of the Qing family, Zhong Bo still understands this, and he can't help but shake his head and sigh again and again, "Even if you recruit 100,000 people, they still come and go freely, how can they barely stay in the Qing family?"

The laws of the Xing State stipulate that the people of the country have the right to move freely in the feudal lands.

Even if the Qing clan spent an astonishing price to recruit 100,000 people from the countries of Zhongzhou, they had the right to leave the Qing clan at any time, which meant that other vassals of the Xing State could use this to tempt the Qing clan to join them.

Hearing Uncle Zhong's worries, as well as the echo of the retainers of the Qing family, the old man just shook his head and smiled without saying a word, looking at Qingyang with a gesture in his eyes.

"Oh, I see!"

Qingyang suddenly smiled and said, "Now that Chonghou is sending a large army to attack and plunder the Lu country, under the strategy of the army, it will inevitably cause many people in the Lu country to leave the chaos, isn't this the best target for recruitment?"

"Not bad!"

The old man smiled and nodded slowly,

"Not only can the people of Lu be recruited, but even many of the people in Chongguo are also poor, don't look at Chongguo devouring neighboring countries, but its people are living in great difficulty.

In addition, in the seventy-six countries of the Northern Wilderness, a large number of people have suffered disasters, if you can show favor to them, you can also exchange them for a large number of loyal people, and it is not too difficult to recruit 100,000 people in a year!"

After listening to the old man's instructions, Qingyang finally understood his true intentions.

Since Qingyang is unwilling to participate in the struggle for world domination, he will grow the Qing clan as much as possible, and grow until he protects more people.

guessed the old man's intentions in his heart, Qingyang did not break it, but showed most of the secrets of the Qing clan to the old man without reservation.

Not only the hidden puppet beast department, but even the old man of the Qing Clan's Medicine Garden went to inspect it, hoping that he could point out a better direction for himself.

"It's a mess and it's not organized!"

After reading the Qing family's internal affairs measures in recent months, Qingyang thought that the arrangement was not bad, but he was criticized by Mr. Puyang.

The old man said unceremoniously: "Bring a pen and a white cloth, and see what I plan for you!"

"Wait a minute, old gentleman!"

Qingyang personally ran to get pen and ink and seven-foot white cloth, and his attitude was humble and polite, which made dozens of retainers dissatisfied with the old man.

Even as the night grew thicker, they still gathered outside the door to wait, to see what the old man's plan would be.

In just half an hour, Mr. Puyang handed the cloth with the fragrance of ink to Qingyang, and snorted coldly: "Under the urgency of time, I wrote a few at random." ”

With full curiosity, Qingyang hurriedly opened the cloth, and the rows of vigorous and powerful handwriting on it made people's eyes light up.

When looking at the series of internal affairs measures listed by the old gentleman, Qingyang now does have many deficiencies compared with this professional.

"Alas, the old gentleman only lists three articles, covering three categories: people's livelihood, military, and economy!"

Qingyang agreed while looking at it, "Since this is the case, I will build a hundred settlements according to the old gentleman's plan and control these hundreds of miles of land."

Then set up a caravan and go to the land of Zhongzhou to conduct trade, and at the same time be able to buy slaves, as for the military, as a sergeant, I only have a private army of thirty-six according to the law, but it is a little difficult. ”
