"In a few days, the salt field will almost be out of salt, and when the time comes, I will personally lead a team to the south of the Jianghuai River. Jiangnan has always had little salt, and the Southern Dynasties have always liked sweets, and cane sugar will definitely be sold at a good price in the Southern Dynasties! ”

Zhu Rui felt that his whole body was full of energy now, and after saying this, he looked back at Wang Ze and said in admiration, "Da Lang is really good!" The few money-making businesses in our cottage are all brought to us by Da Lang! ”

Now the cottage can get money from the first few businesses is gold mining, although Cheng Xueying kicked it out, but Wang Ze also contributed a lot, and it is still in strict secrecy.

The second is the salt pan by the sea, because it is the seaside that 'gets' a large salt pan, and the big guys will pass by every day when they have nothing to do, so they all know that there are no conditions for secrecy.

In the end, it is the white sugar that is being made now, as long as there is such a secret recipe, the storage can make a lot of money, and when I think of these Zhu Rui, I can't help myself.

Gongxi pondered for a moment and said: "Since it is going to be sold to the Southern Dynasty, it is necessary to give it an elegant name, this sugar is as white as snow, why not call it 'snow sugar'?" ”

Wang Ze was the first to jump out and pat the old lady's ass: "The name that my mother gave is good, it's called Snow Candy!" "The performance is impressive.

Wang Yong's lady, who is nearly ten years younger than herself, naturally loves her even more, how can she have objections to such a trivial matter, and she directly agreed. Others won't say anything.

In the evening, Wang Yong's family had a dinner party with Cheng Chong and Zhu Rui's families, and during the banquet, Wang Ze seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Zhu Rui: "Third Uncle Zhu, if you go out and meet homeless people or something, you can bring back more, and it would be better if you could pick up a few craftsmen like Uncle Cao!" ”

"Do you think that a skilled blacksmith like Uncle Cao is like a weed on the side of the road, and he can pick it up if he wants?" Wang Yong reprimanded him amused.

"Big brother, I think what Da Lang said makes sense, in the past, we were about to run out of food when we were short of cottage food, and we could only take care of our own eyes, but now we have rich money and food, if we can recruit more craftsmen, we can also have more means of self-protection." Zhu Rui suggested to Wang Yong.

"What the third brother said makes sense, the eldest brother is now sparsely populated in Changguang County, so we might as well let those old people under the mountain~~~"

"Second brother, shut up~~~~", Wang Yong burst out, "This matter must be kept secret, and you can't talk about it with others!" How many people's 'sex' lives are at stake, and they can't say it unless they have to! ”

Cheng Chong also knew that he had made a mistake, so he lowered his head embarrassedly.

Wang Yong comforted him: "Second brother, Changguang is located in a remote area, and the number of people is scarce, so the imperial court will not pay attention to this side, and now there will not be too many officials and soldiers stationed in the county town, let alone come to this mountain, we are also very safe, if the number of copycat people increases sharply, I am afraid it will not be a good thing." It's better to wait for the third brother to come back from buying grain, and then let's slowly recruit manpower, this is a safe plan! ”

Cheng Chong has always been very convinced of Wang Yong, and immediately responded: "Yes!" Big brother! I just didn't think it through! ”

Three days later, Zhu Rui set off with the first batch of about 150 stone of sea salt from the salt farm, leaving 40 stone of sea salt for the cottage to pickle and catch.

Wang Yong and Cheng Chong are still 'drilling' every day, watching Cao Blacksmith make weapons and iron armor, I have to say that Cao Blacksmith's level of forging weapons has risen to a kind of artistic realm, in Cheng Chong's words: "Every day I see Cao Blacksmith making iron, I feel that I am full of energy!" ”

Wang Ze, Cheng Hu, and Zhu Bofu were driven into the school as usual, the only difference was that they had an additional task to escort Zhu Bofu's four-year-old sister Zhu Qingqing to and from school every day.

The little girl saw that all the children of the three families had gone to school, and she was the only one at home, so she also asked her parents to send her in yesterday.

Zhu Bofu and Cheng Hu are the age when boys are playful and playful, and they don't like the existence of such a small tail very much, so every time they leave the house, they take the lead and run without a trace, only Wang Ze walked slowly with the little Lori, which caused the little Lori to pester Wang Ze even more.

Cheng Hu and Zhu Bofu are smart and know that if they leave their sister home alone, they will be beaten, so the joke is a joke, but every time they wait at the school or the 'door' of the house until Wang Ze and Zhu Qingqing will enter the school or enter the 'door' of the house together.

On this day, Wang Ze got out of school, and after returning home after sending Zhu Qingqing, he saw that Sun Xing, the guard on duty at the cottage, was reporting to Wang Yong, and Wang Ze was cheeky and listening.

It turned out that Qingzhou in the west was robbed by Taishan thieves before, resulting in Qingzhou in addition to the county seat, the other countryside was all eroded, and even Donglai County, which is next to Changguang County, was partially 'affected', if it were not for the sparse population of Changguang County, I am afraid that it would also be disturbed.

After the people in several places were affected by the disaster, there was no one to relieve the disaster, and the general of Qizhou town guard only prevented the displaced people from advancing westward, and a large number of displaced people had no choice but to flee in the east and south directions, and at least about 30,000 of them fled to Changguang County.

To say that the dynasty of the Northern Qi Dynasty is indeed very strange, because under the influence of the idol TV series "The King of Lanling" wearing the skin of a historical drama before the time, Wang Ze once roughly browsed the history of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

About 550 A.D. (that is, the year when Wang Ze was born three years ago), Emperor Wenxuan Gao Yang inherited his father's and brother's foundation to replace the Eastern Wei Dynasty and established, the country name Qi, Jianyuan Tianbao, Jiandu Ye, known as Northern Qi in history.

The territory occupied by the Northern Qi Dynasty was generally Hebei, Henan, Shandong, Shanxi in the lower reaches of the Yellow River in later generations, as well as northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui north of the Huai River, as well as the vast areas of western Liaoning.

In the first few years of the establishment of the Northern Qi Dynasty, Gao Yang may have just become an emperor and paid more attention to the people's livelihood. In this year, that is, in the third year of Tianbao (552 AD), he attacked Kumoxi to the north and won a great victory, plundering a large number of cattle and sheep.

Next year, he will attack the Khitan in the northeast, plundering more than 100,000 people and expanding the border to the lower reaches of the Liao River, and in a few years, he will defeat Rouran and make Rouran fall to the Northern Qi.

Later, he took advantage of the 'chaos' of Hou Jingzhi of Southern Liang to capture Huainan, and almost destroyed Southern Liang. If it weren't for the presence of Chen Baxian (the founding emperor of Southern Chen) who was a 'strong' bull breaker, and single-handedly blocked the attack of the Northern Qi, it is estimated that the Southern Dynasty would have been occupied by the Northern Qi.

However, the territory of the Northern Qi Dynasty also expanded to the Yangtze River, and at this time, the national strength of the Northern Qi reached its peak, and it was the strongest of the three kingdoms of Zhou, Qi, and Southern Liang.

However, although the national strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty is now in the rising stage, the governance of the country is still very 'chaotic' and 'chaotic', although the central government has appointed a group of Han officials, and has also fallen into the history books with a fairly clear title, but in the local governance, many places are sent to manage some domestic slaves, these people do not learn and have no skills, and it is conceivable that they can manage the locality.

Wang Ze can only be said to know a general 'hair' about this period of history, and he doesn't even know the slightly more detailed content. After thinking about it for a long time, Wang Ze finally had an idea, "Daddy, the child has something to say." ”

Wang Yong asked Sun Xing to sit down and listen to Wang Ze's idea, "If you have any ideas, tell me quickly!" ”

"Daddy, there are only more than 1,500 people in my cottage, and if you want to recruit people, you can't exceed 1,000 people at most, and there is a risk that the dove will occupy the magpie's nest. At present, there are at least 30,000 displaced people in Changguang County, which is a great wealth, and we can send more fathers and elders who are still in good nationality to buy more land in the county town, and recruit displaced people to form a manor, so that we can naturally leave a large number of displaced people in our own hands, and we can slowly select the people we need from among these people in the future. ”

"It's a good idea," Wang Yong couldn't help but applaud, "Sun Xing, you go and find Mr. Lu, Uncle He, and Second Commander Cheng, and I want to discuss it with them." ”

"Daddy, I haven't finished talking yet, after the homeless people settle down, we can also recruit the sons and daughters of the homeless people who have performed well to study in the hall, so that they will follow us with all their hearts. And there is no need to teach those Confucian scriptures or anything, we just need them to be able to understand some words, learn more craftsmen and crafts to be serious, of course, if there are some talents in it, but it is a "waste" waste, and it needs to be cultivated. ”

"Haha, you're such a ghost!" Wang Yong reached out to stroke Wang Ze's head, but Wang Ze bent down to dodge him, "Daddy, you're going to shoot me stupid!" ”

That night, Wang Yong discussed with the military advisor Lu Wen, the housekeeper He Bo and the second brother Cheng Chong for a night, although he was also afraid of the reaction of Changguang County, but still decided to adopt Wang Ze's opinion.

Early the next morning, Lu Wen and He Bo personally went out to arrange for people to do this.

First of all, he dispatched those who did not leak at the foot of the mountain, and still served as the subordinates of Qi Min, who were divided into dozens of 'waves' to go to the county town, and first bribed the chief bookkeeper, the county lieutenant and other relevant officials, and obtained a large area of land in the Muping area in later generations.

This place of Muping is about the Yantai area of Shandong in the later generations, and there was a salt field in the two Han Dynasty, but it was basically abandoned during the Northern Qi Dynasty.

Now from the cottage to the east to Chengshanjiao, the population of such a whole area is probably less than 20,000; Moreover, because of the barren land, this piece is far less than the land around Changguang County, and the strong in the county are not eye-catching, so the government is also very generous in selling it.

Scattered before and after, nearly 150,000 acres of wasteland were bought, and with the mountainous land wrapped in the middle of the wasteland, I am afraid it is more than 200,000 acres. Fortunately, Wang Yong mobilized a large number of people to buy it separately, otherwise he was afraid that someone would find out the problem.

Then it was time to recruit the displaced people, because the new county warden of Changguang County was afraid that the expulsion of the displaced people would cause a popular uprising, so he only knew that he would not let the displaced people enter the city, and the number of displaced people outside the city gradually decreased, but he thought that the displaced people had dispersed themselves, so he did not care.

Although the Haoqiang of Changguang County also recruited displaced people to reclaim the famine, as long as they were young and strong, they had always rejected the 'door' of the displaced people who dragged their families and their families, and there was no conflict with Wang Yong and others.

In the past month, more than 30,000 displaced people were recruited by Wang Yong, more than 18,000 people, thousands of people defected to the local Haoqiang, and the other more than 10,000 displaced people decided to return to their hometown after eating the porridge provided by the cottage for more than ten days.

Next, Wang Yong and others are busy arranging the affairs of the displaced people, but fortunately, the cottage manpower can also 'draw' a group of people, plus Uncle He, Mr. Lu are all experienced old people, especially Uncle He is already a veteran of Tuntian reclamation, and the arrangement is in good order.

According to the distribution of the newly purchased cultivated land, more than 18,000 people were scattered into family units and divided into 15 large and small villages.

It's not the coldest time of winter, and the New Year is less than a month away, so the first task is to build a shelter to protect against the cold.

Wang Ze instructed people to build a nest, He Bo saw it and praised it greatly, not to mention the labor saving, the effect of keeping out the cold is also good, and even better is that a kang was also made in the nest.

As a result, a large area of underground nests with ondols appeared, allowing many displaced people to live in underground nests first, and then began to reclaim wasteland, waiting for the 'spring' to warm up next year before building houses.

Since the food supply is still abundant, and the sea fish caught in the sea can barely fill the stomachs of the family, the mood of the displaced people is still very stable.

Wang Ze followed He Bo to stand at the highest point of the last completed tunzhai, looking at the wasteland that had begun to be reclaimed in the distance, and felt a special sense of accomplishment in his heart.

On the side, Uncle He muttered: "If you want me to say that our Wang family is too kind-hearted, the old man has lived for decades and has never seen the owner who eats the same meal as the Zhuang family, shouldn't those homeless people give them so much food, isn't it easy to make trouble when they are full?" Now it is at least 30 or so stone per day, and it will be at least a year or two before they grow enough food, and how much food they will get will be ruined! ”

"Uncle He, is that large piece of flat land along the river in the distance ours?" Wang Ze ignored He Bo's nagging and asked directly.

"Xiao Langjun, those are all our family's land. Unfortunately, it is all wasteland, and it will take at least three or five years to reclaim it. ”

Wang Ze had an idea, "It's a pity to be ridiculous, or buy thousands of his sheep to graze, and raise the kind of slender 'hairy' sheep, so that you can also make sheep 'wool' clothes, wool or something." Wang Ze began to fantasize about the happy life of gnawing on the sheep's leg every day in the future, and after eating fish for several months, Wang Ze felt that his whole body was full of fishy smell.

"Xiao Langjun is laughing again," He Bo looked at Wang Ze with a loving face, "Our barren places, plus the nearby mountains and forests, are enough to raise sheep, but there is not so much money to buy thousands of sheep, and where is this Changguang County to buy so many sheep?" ”

"Haha, you don't have to worry about this, Uncle He, when I return to the cottage, I will personally go to my father and tell him, the mountain people have their own tricks!" Wang Ze looked at the sea in the distance with a mysterious smile on his face, where was the Wuhu Sea.
