It's another snowy night.

After a snowy night, the government would set up offices in various parts of the city, and before dawn would send government officials to pour snow powder along the streets so that the animal carts could travel. The sleepless New Year has passed, and after the 17th day of the first lunar month, the festive red lights on the streets and alleys have been removed, and people have started to be busy again, but the slow pace of life has not completely dissipated the afterglow of the New Year's celebration.

The snow powder poured by the government can not only melt the snow and ice, but also have the effect of preventing skidding.

In the Tian'an Chamber of Commerce, which spread several blocks, an ordinary chariot quietly drove in, and under the guidance of Zhike, it stopped in the stable of the Tian'an Chamber of Commerce.

The person who got out of the car was a young man dressed in a slim dress with white on a black background, and his appearance was not beautiful, but he could also be called handsome.

Followed by a slender woman dressed in plain clothes and covered with tulle, it can be seen from her exposed eyes that this woman's face should be captivating.

Zhike's gaze lingered on the two of them for a moment, looking at the woman's standing position behind the left, and he had a general understanding of the dignity of the two in his heart.

The high-ranking cadres of the family, or the sons of the sect came to buy with their daughters.

Just as he was about to speak and lead the way, Zhike saw that the handsome boy had already thrown half a tael of silver, and waved his hand at him:

"Don't follow, go down."

Zhike's eyes lit up, and he took it and bit it on his lips and teeth to try the silver two colors, and after finding that it was official silver, the look on his face immediately flattered:

"Okay, Childe, please take it slowly."

With that, he bowed directly, took a few steps back, and turned to leave.

There are rules in the general meeting of the Tian'an Chamber of Commerce, where the guests enter, the guests will follow.

However, the rules are dead, people are alive, and half of the reward is given to the steward on duty, and one eye is closed.

Watching the back of Zhike disappear around the corner, Xu Yuancai slowly raised his eyes to look at this Tian'an General Association.

As the façade of the Tianan Chamber of Commerce, it is not magnificent enough to be powerful.

The red wall is magnificent, the high pillar is heavy, the eaves are full of magnificence, the huge building of more than 100 zhang rises from the ground, the 100 steps of steps are extended up, and then there is a huge gate of 10 zhang that is raised and raised and comes into view, the whole ancient building is like a noble giant beast creeping on the ground, and the pedestrians and distinguished guests standing under it are as small as ants.

Retracting his gaze, Xu Yuan didn't care about Xiaobai on his side, and strode towards the entrance steps by himself.

On the wide steps, there is an endless stream of distinguished guests, most of them are brocade clothes, three or two attendants follow each other, and Xu Yuan is not conspicuous when he walks.

Bai Muxi quickly kept up with Gongzi's pace, his eyes revolving back and forth.

She had heard of the Tian'an Association, but it was the first time she had come to this realm.

It was a grandeur she had never seen before in the dungeon.

After today's son woke up from a coma, he directly called her out of the prime minister's mansion without explaining anything, but he didn't expect to come to this Tian'an Association.

Immediately following Xu Yuan's side, Bai Muxi hesitated again and again, but still said softly:

"Childe. Why did you bring Mu Xi here? ”

Xu Yuan didn't look back:

"The last time we met, didn't I say I was going to take you somewhere?"

Bai Muxi was stunned when she heard this, and then reacted:

"Then what is the purpose of this Tian'an Association?"

"Naturally, it's about buying things."

Xu Yuan's answer was simple and direct, and he turned his eyes back with a smile: "You don't think that your hundreds of thousands of people don't need silver to eat, drink, and Lazar, right?" ”

Bai Muxi's red lips under the tulle opened slightly, and her beautiful eyes were a little overwhelmed, and then she said softly:

"As long as they can come to the ground, the people of the underground palace can support themselves."

Xu Yuan didn't have the slightest doubt about Bai Muxi's words, growing up in a desperate situation in the underground palace, hard-working and hard-working is the basic cultivation, smiled slightly, and asked rhetorically:

"Have you considered the settlement of your hundreds of thousands?

"The Great Yan has been a country for thousands of years, and the power of the counties and counties in various places has basically been fixed, and they may welcome hundreds of thousands of outsiders who have migrated, after all, these are all laborers, but if these hundreds of thousands of people have the same cultural beliefs that are twisted together, it will be different, and this will damage the interests of the local forces.

"No matter which realm you enter in the Great Yan, your people will be ostracized, and there may even be a large-scale conflict with the local residents, and when the time comes, it will be inconvenient for the Prime Minister to intervene."

Bai Muxi's beautiful eyes flickered, she was silent for a while, and said tentatively:

"This. I remember that the imperial court had a relevant decree? ”

Xu Yuan thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and replied:

"The one who cleared the wasteland and left the soil?"

Bai Muxi nodded:

"For every ten acres of land, the people can keep eight acres, and the land tax will be exempted for two years."

Xu Yuan glanced at her meaningfully:

"Heh, it seems that you are not only cultivating these days, but you have also consulted this old antique policy."

This wasteland opening order has been implemented for decades, which is a way for the imperial court to open the source, and it has brought a lot of benefits to the imperial court in the early days, after all, Dayan has a vast uninhabited land, among which there is no lack of fertile land with water and soil, and the people can easily be self-sufficient when they go to reclaim wasteland, and even make a profit from surpluses, but in recent years, this decree has been basically abolished in terms of implementation.

At first, the people were near the official roads, and these lands were safe, but when all these lands were developed, only those remote places remained.

Not only are monsters rampant in those realms, but some cult bandit dens are also entrenched there.

Those who open up the wasteland go to a group, and a group die.

The magistrate's whip was out of reach, and it was not easy to organize a manpower to clear the money, and the people ran away directly to fight guerrillas, and after a long time, the finances could not support it at all, and over time this decree was abandoned, except for some people who were really desperate, even if they were tired and tired under the landlords, no one wanted to go again.

However, none of these problems are a problem for the remnants of the underground palace.

Poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, and if you go there, it is estimated that you can let those bandits see who the real bandits are.

Thinking in my heart,

Xu Yuan paused, stared back at her eyes for a few breaths, and asked softly:

"So, you're going to go this way?"

After looking at each other for a moment, Bai Muxi immediately lowered his head and whispered:

"It is difficult to resettle 400,000 people, Mu Xi just doesn't want the Prime Minister to break the bank, but if the prince has already arranged it, Mu Xi is willing to listen to your arrangement."

"Huh."

After pausing and continuing to go up, Xu Yuan looked at the cultivators and merchants on the stairs with a smile, and said softly:

"The world is about to be in turmoil, and you want to find a paradise for your people to avoid war, right?

"Don't be in a hurry to deny it yet, I can understand your thoughts, but

"Bai Muxi, you must know that my Prime Minister's Mansion is not for charity.

"Now that millions of people have died in the north, if you want to destroy our agreement in the underground palace and slaughter 400,000 black households of unknown origin, it will not be difficult for the Prime Minister."

Speaking of which,

Xu Yuan had already stopped at the top of the stairs, standing under the giant gate, and looked back at Xiaobai, whose delicate body trembled slightly behind him:

"Mu Xi. Don't kneel, it's going to be a sting when you kneel now. ”
