The city of Guizhou is restoring the previous order, but the people living here are much less visible to the naked eye, only five or six out of ten.

The small number of people itself is a major problem faced by Guizhou, and it is difficult to maintain a larger output of local products due to the small number of people.

Moreover, the people of Guizhou are basically peasant households, and the DPRK and China are vigorously advocating work, and even some agricultural work has entered the scope of fortification.

For example, during the Han Dynasty, through the Silk Road, the common people who had long been tired of eating the unique agricultural products of the Wuling area from Central Asia to the Wuling area had long been scattered to other places with the footsteps of the caravans.

However, local farmers in Guizhou borrowed caravans to circulate to the surrounding areas to make some money, but after the demand in the surrounding areas became more and more high, they suddenly faced a supply cut.

If the caravan can't receive the goods, the place where it was acquired can only suspend the opening of the market, and after a long time, I am afraid that even if it recovers, it will take a long time to recover as before.

There are many lychees, born in the mountains, and people also plant them.

Lychee, like celery, is an agricultural product encouraged by the Guizhou Department of Agriculture.

And when summer was approaching, the captive people's homes were full of fruits on the branches of the lychee trees, but no one harvested them.

The caravan set up by the Guizhou Agricultural Bureau not only has to solve the transportation problem by itself, but now even the picking has to find a way to solve it by itself, otherwise the local income will be unsustainable.

Everything is slowly recovering, and the most important task of Xiao Renchang, the assassin of Guizhou, is to try to replenish the population in the territory.

It was not too difficult to increase the population to 10,000 households, but the DPRK decree required that 50,000 households should settle in Gyeongju.

Xiao Renchang knew that it was a good thing that the DPRK and China regarded Guizhou as one of the important state cities for trade with Lingnan.

At least Guizhou has entered the eyes of the DPRK, and Guizhou will usher in the strong support of the DPRK and China's finances, and it will no longer be just a barbaric Wuling remote city as before.

Xu Geng took the land route to Jizhou, then took the ferry in Jizhou, and went south to Chuzhou in the Nanjiang waterway, and the thousand-mile boat turned into a tributary of the Yanjiang River in Chuzhou, and arrived at Yelang in a circle.

The rest of the road can only be traveled by land.

Earlier, the army crossed between Yelang and Guizhou, and the traces of the army opening the road while walking at that time had been drowned by the wanton weeds.

Access to Guizhou can be described as a thousand difficulties and dangers.

When Xu Geng arrived in Guizhou, half of his soul was worn out by the difficult road.

He saw the depression but order of Guizhou, although he had already arrived in Guizhou, but how to cross Lingnan, he had not thought of any way.

I can only come over first.

On the west bank of the Qingjiang River in the southern suburbs of Guizhou City, there are two or three hundred laborers who are building a field along the coast.

After Xu Geng's inquiry, he learned that the field being built was carrying out the DPRK-China decree of "mutual trade with Lingnan Jingzhou".

However, there is no movement in Jingzhou City, and even if there is movement, it is still on alert.

Trade means that sooner or later he will have to reach peace talks with Jingzhou, and since they are peace talks, it means that he can take the opportunity of peace talks to achieve the goal of searching for people.

After inquiring and learning that the Guizhou Assassin Mansion and the Municipal Bureau were presiding over the Guizhou Assassin Mansion, Xu Geng sank his heart and came to the Assassin Mansion as a military attache in the Guards, and asked to see Xiao Renchang.

"My lord, while the field is under construction, we should try to open up a channel for dialogue with Jingzhou, I don't know if there is a candidate for negotiation?"

Xiao Renchang is anxious about a lot of headaches, and for him, he can't rank among the many things to deal with.

There were elite guards in the DPRK and China who came over in person, and Xiao Renchang had to talk to Xu Geng:

"The general didn't know that Guizhou had suffered major damage due to the rebellion, and the city was sacked by the rebels, not to mention that even half of the population of the people had been reduced."

"Regarding the matter of the field, the official has not yet thought about it, I wonder if the general came here with a method?"

Xu Geng was treated politely by the assassin Shi, but he felt deeply flattered, he didn't have any special skills, that is, he was bold and powerful.

"Since your lordship is busy with official business, it is better to hand over the matter of transit negotiations to me, and I will take people to transit Jingzhou and try to reach a negotiation with the Jingzhou government."

If Xu Geng can talk about the results, Xiao Renchang's pressure can also be reduced, and it is rare to have warriors who are not afraid of their neighbors and enemies.

Xiao Renchang nodded to show his courage, but Xiao Renchang, who was cautious and careful, did not readily agree to him, but continued to probe and said:

"I, Guizhou, as the main battlefield of the war, will defeat the enemy from Guizhou, fear that the enemy is deeply guarded, it is not so easy, how do you plan to realize your idea?"

"My lord doesn't know, my military attache official position was obtained by virtue of his merits lurking in the Lingnan Army," Xu Geng said frankly:

"After returning to Beijing, I was fortunate to be recognized by His Majesty, so I broke out of the forbidden army and entered the guards."

"It's a good thing for me that Jingzhou has troops and city defenses, because there are always a few people among them who know me."

"As long as they seize the opportunity of the first meeting with their neighbors and enemies, and explain the benefits to the other party, they will be interested in continuing negotiations."

Xu Geng passed Xiao Renchang's test with a logical and rigorous voice, but because he knew that Xu Geng didn't know much about the field, he decided to take Xu Geng as the main player and let the officials of the Municipal Bureau assist him.

was reused by the assassin when he first came, and Xu Geng had an indescribable sense of heroism in his heart.

He wanted to handle this matter well, and knew that he should not be reckless, and after receiving the matter that the assassin had instructed him, he immediately went to the Municipal Shipping Bureau.

In accordance with the decree of the DPRK and China, the Municipal Shipping Department has listed a series of properties that can be sold to Jingzhou.

At the same time, Guizhou's need for Jingzhou is not money, but stones?

There were two stones on the table of the Municipal Bureau's order, which looked quite colorful but ugly, and said bluntly to Xu Geng:

"Don't look at these two stones ugly, this is what I spent a lot of hard time finding, and it fits Your Majesty's description in the matter."

"This blue color stone is worth ten dollars a catty, and this is a black gray stone, three catties are equivalent to ten dollars."

"Jingzhou can use colored stones and light stones to buy things for sale in the field."

Xu Geng was a little incomprehensible for a while, what's the use of asking for stones? And the value is not low, a pound of stone is only the size of a fist, and it can be used as ten dollars.

Although he couldn't figure it out, he thought about it from another perspective, and he felt that this was good news for the people of Jingzhou, if there were a lot of such stones in Jingzhou City.

Using stones as money, who could have imagined such a good thing?

"However, most of the people who sell their surplus in the market are local people in Guizhou, how can the people of Guizhou be willing to let others exchange stones for their goods?"

The commissioner smiled:

"This point has already been countered by the city's shipping department, the people first exchange assets for stones, and then exchange stones for money with our city's shipping department."

"The cash has already been prepared, and an exchange office has been opened outside, and the two pieces that the general sees now are also exchanged with the people."
