Shen Ao smiled and apologized to Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng was angry for a while, and he had nothing to say, the two of them were both hip-hopping xingzi, and after lunch, the anger disappeared, and they joked with each other again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the evening, Zhou Heng asked Shen Aodao, "What method does my brother-in-law plan to use to deal with the Khitans?" ”
Shen Ao became serious and said, "Let's talk about it in two or three days, have all those Quanzhou businessmen arrived?"
Zhou Heng said: "When I was in Linhuang Mansion, I had already flown pigeons to pass the book, and these people came non-stop, more than 600 of them, all of whom had names and surnames in Quanzhou, and now they are all resting in the inn, waiting for their brother-in-law to summon them." ”
Shen Ao said: "Without further ado, let them nominate some big businessmen to come in and speak." ”
Today's victory can be regarded as a complete swallowing of the real person, Shen Aojing is very good, although he is a little tired, he refuses to rest, and orders Zhou Heng to call someone, and he sits on the chair and drinks tea. The matter here must be resolved very quickly, Shen Ao is anxious to go back to Bianjing, with the prince here, Bianjing may have variables at any time, and the top priority is to welcome His Majesty back to Beijing, which can be regarded as a great success.
Shen Ao took a sip of tea, lay on the chair and slowly raised his mind, pondered for a moment, opened his eyes again, and his thoughts drifted to the Khitan people, that Yelu Dashi is scheming, and he is by no means a person who is willing to give in easily, this holy purpose is to Yelu Dashi It seems that it is testing Shen Ao's attitude, but in Shen Ao's opinion, isn't it also declaring Yelu Dashi's attitude, Yelu Dashi is unwilling, most of them still want to restore the prestige of the Khitan people, so they came to test Shen Ao, hoping to return to the grassland, the grassland ...... It is the source of the strength of the Khitan people.
"If you want to play, I'll be with you to the end!" Shen Ao sneered in his heart, a pair of deep eyes revealed a bit of mockery, he came to this world, he encountered countless enemies, Shen Ao can always face difficulties, it is because of Shen Ao's Xingzi who never admits defeat.
Shen Ao thought about it, and then called a lieutenant and said: "Go and tell those Khitan people who are equipped with the army, let them think clearly for themselves, don't make a mistake and become a thousand years of hatred, and tell them that this king can kill nv real people, and he can also kill them!" ”
The school captain listened to Shen Ao's instructions, confused, and was ordered to convey Shen Ao's meaning, this text is provided by the post bar friendly, the starting point is the first release, the text is only for learning jiāo flow, please do not use it for commercial purposes, if necessary, please buy the genuine version at the starting point.
After a while, the businessmen finally came, these people heard that Linhuang Mansion, Dading Mansion, there are a large number of pastures, have long been moved, for them, business is business, now the market is the most lacking is manpower and livestock, manpower and not much, can only be recruited from all over the place, as far as possible to recruit displaced people and attract farmers is, but this livestock is different, the Great Song Dynasty is mainly farming and business, horse herding, sheep herding has always been not the strength of the Song people, plus although the land of the Great Song Dynasty is extensive, grazing land is very little, There are a few occasionally, and they are also controlled by the imperial court, and they first go to supply the needs of the army.
Now so many pastures are provided at once, in the eyes of the merchants, this is silver, three or four years ago, when the sea administration was just beginning, the price of a horse roughly fluctuated around eight guan, and now, it has already risen to seventeen guan, fully doubled, these are mostly short Shu horses, if it is a Khitan horse, Xixia horse is more valuable, often to the value of thirty guan. Now the auxiliary king openly solicits business travel to rent and sell pastures, as long as he can take a piece of pasture out, recruit horse herders, guards, etc., a year down, let alone raise thousands of horses and horses, all of them are sold, even if the value of the horse has declined, the annual income is at least hundreds of thousands of yuan, now Quanzhou there are unlimited business opportunities, but there are many businesses, profits have long been not as good as before, although the business is not bad, but compared with the income of this horse breeding, it is much worse, so as soon as they heard the news, everyone rushed over, Some of the businessmen went out in person, and some of them ran on behalf of the stewards, and they were secretly determined to take a piece of land no matter what.
It is said that the four major maritime merchants in Quanzhou also came, and the four major maritime merchants are also rich and rival the country, and their sea ships are more than hundreds, and the workshops are innumerable.
Hearing the call of the auxiliary king, the major chambers of commerce also hugged the group, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Jiangnan West Road and other local chambers of commerce all elected their leaders to come out, together to the palace, Shen Ao and they finalized the details of the sale of land, and took out a map, this map is naturally drawn by the military captain and Jinyiwei, although it may not be accurate, but the rough pattern is out, when the time comes, it is a big deal to explore in detail, the grassland of this Linhuang Mansion is more than 7.7 million acres, a radius of thousands of miles. Dading Mansion is slightly less than Linhuang Mansion, only more than 3.9 million mu, Shen Ao takes 100,000 mu as a piece, a total of 116 pieces of land, and when the time comes, take it out one by one, and everyone bids for it, and the one with the highest price wins.
These lands are the most abundant plots of water and grass, and the businessmen see that there is a lot of land, and they are bidding for each other, and they are all gearing up, one by one, they are full of strength, and they are waiting for the bidding.
After sending away these merchants, the merchants returned to their respective chambers of commerce and repeated the words of the auxiliary king, and some small merchants had already begun to form a group, and the big merchants were already bound to win the ranch, but they were relieved, took precautions, and sent people to recruit people. Take the land, it is not to say that the horse is raised, the herdsman's house must be set up first, all kinds of living utensils must also be had, but also to invite the stable, guards, these are the early investment, roughly a pasture, at least thousands of people to take care of, you must know that 100,000 acres is roughly tens of miles in a radius of tens of miles, in this grassland, enough to feed a small tribe, and this is the most abundant place for water and grass, manpower is absolutely indispensable.
On the second day, in a hall of this palace, hundreds of merchants gathered here, and after waiting for a long time, immediately, a map was hung on the wall, and each area was roughly marked, although Shen Ao did not appear, but there were many doctors from the martial arts academy, without too many greetings, and in the midst of all the attention, the auction began.
The first piece of land is close to Liaodong, far from Linhuang Mansion, and several tribes are also marked nearby, which can be regarded as the edge of the grassland, the bidding of the merchants is not high, only a few small merchants can not hold each other, and finally it was purchased by a merchant surnamed Wu for 50,000 yuan. This kind of ranch is actually a real big businessman who looks down on it, after all, it is too far away from Linhuang, and it is dependent on the various tribes of the grassland, although all the tribes are honest now, but after all, there are restless, and there are many horse thieves, and I don't know how many guards to hire at that time.
Next, more and more ranches were rented and sold, and most of them were marginal lots, and the highest was 70,000 yuan, and another piece, because it was too remote, only more than 300 yuan was taken.
But when those inconspicuous ranches were all rented and sold, the real big businessmen began to gear up, as the ranch was rented and sold more and more, the remaining ranches were less and less, and the big businessmen finally appeared, and they couldn't hold each other for a while, and the price also rose from tens of thousands to 100,000 and 200,000, especially the ranches within a radius of 100,000 miles in Linhuang Mansion and Dading Mansion, which was even more tense to the point of saber rattling, and the four major maritime merchants finally made a move, and the value was fried to more than 300,000 at once. Just look at these big businessmen bidding against each other. And the big businessman Jia Ben is a corner sè who spends a lot of money, and he is willing to give in at this time.
This bidding lasted for a day and a night, although Shen Ao did not come forward, but his attention was attracted by this bidding, and the whole person waited uneasily in the dormitory, and when the bidding was over, he immediately called the doctor who bid to ask, and the doctor calculated and finally gave a total number: "Your Highness, all one hundred and sixteen pieces of land have been rented and sold, and the total amount is sixty-one million." ”
Shen Ao sighed and said with a smile: "I'll just say, these businessmen are all people, they don't know the value of these lands, good, good, 61 million guanli, except for a part of the Xixia side to reward the Xixia sergeants, and then leave a part to build ships in the sailors, and the rest will be kept as a reward and pension." The court's pension and reward are too stingy, and the reward allocated in the treasury is only 500,000 yuan, so teach everyone how to use their lives? It's not easy for everyone, this is very hard, your doctor's side, draw up a charter, how to pay for the soldiers who died in battle, how to reward meritorious deeds, these must have a small amount of money, everyone follows the king from birth to death, and the king has no reason to treat them badly. ”
This Dading Mansion, all of a sudden lively, the land was sold, naturally a few happy and a few worried, did not get the land, gloomily went back to the house, but got the land, began to recruit manpower, I don't know how many homeless people have been produced, these people are in the north all the year round, and they also have some skills in raising horses, plus the Han people in the north have a lot of strength, horses, guards are ready-made, and the merchants are willing to pay a lot of money to recruit, the entire Shangjing Road and Zhongjing Road, the noise for a while.
Now that so many businessmen have come, some businessmen have taken the opportunity to open shops in Linhuang and Dading, and Linhuang and Dading have gradually become a lot more lively.
The next thing to do, of course, is to carefully draw the boundaries of the pasture, lay piles, build sheds, horse pens, and buy foals, some grassland tribes, see the Han people also come to herd horses, the heart is unhappy, but do not dare to make trouble, at this time to see someone buy the foal, or Baba rushed over, taking advantage of the good market, take out the horse breeds in the tribe to sell, in exchange for some living utensils.
