Chapter 978 Going to Ao County

Bai Siqi, the three brothers of the Bai family and a group of other Bai family members did not look very good after receiving the holy decree.

Bai Laosan was silent for a while, and then broke out.

"No, I'm going to go to the emperor and ask for clarification."

"Stop." Boss Bai stopped the third Bai who was about to take the door.

Bai Laosan looked at Bai Boss in confusion and said, "Brother? ”

Boss Bai took a deep breath and said, "Have you forgotten that the emperor gave us a choice."

One is to make the Bai family a second-rate family in Xianyang City, and the other is that we continue to be the first family, but we have to leave Xianyang City and go to Ao County.

As soon as we arrive in Australia, we will start from scratch, but we will have the right to mine gold, copper, coal and so on.

If we can get one, we can get back to the top.

And this time it was His Majesty's order, and the purpose was not just to let us go to Aoshi. It's more important to let others take this as a warning. ”

Bai Siqi sighed at this time and said: "Alas, this matter will end here, Your Majesty and the Emperor have already given us a lot of face."

Otherwise, do you think it's as simple as our Bai family just becoming a second-rate family? ”

Bai Laosan stomped his feet in hatred and said in a deep voice: "Father, brother, all this is my fault.

Rebuke me, or I will be troubled. ”

"Alright, get up." "If you really want to atone for your sins." Then after coming to Aojun, work well for the family.

I believe that Aojun is still a wild land, where there are a lot of resources, and the resources such as copper, iron, and coal mines mentioned by the emperor will be very rich.

As long as we occupy a random mine, the Bai family can come back to life.

Moreover, Your Majesty has left all of your eldest brother's lineage behind, which means that Your Majesty has not completely given up on us, and has given us a chance.

Second, third, you have to firmly grasp this opportunity. ”

"No." Bai Lao Er and Bai Lao San answered at the same time.

……

In the next few days, the second and third children of the Bai family went to Qin An every day, because they didn't know some news about Ao County.

Going to Aojun without knowing anything, Bai Lao Er and they are afraid of suffering.

Qin An was also very generous, and told them all the news he knew, but it was basically the news of the later generations.

Regarding the present, Qin An can only say that the population of Ao County must be there, but it is definitely not much, and the combat effectiveness is not the opponent of Great Qin.

After finding out the news, the Bai family began to prepare, except for some shops, the rest of the property was sold, except for the 300,000 taels of gold for the compensation fee, the rest of the money was used to buy ships and recruit labor.

Since you are going to Oshire, then labor is indispensable.

As for the materials, Qin An is responsible for everything, and after arriving in Ao County, he needs to open up wasteland and farm, build houses, build bridges and pave roads, and a series of infrastructure facilities are completed by Qin An.

After Qin An built the city, some shops and workshops would be rented or sold to everyone in the form of leasing or selling.

In addition to some of the families invited by Qin An, a group of businessmen also followed to Aojun.

When the merchants learned of this, those who had the financial resources began to buy ships on their own and recruit manpower.

People who did not have the financial resources began to look for partners, and these partners could be merchants, nobles, or even people who were directly attached to Qin An.

Three months later, a mighty fleet set off.

However, this fleet was not led by Qin An, Qin An handed over the matter to Qin Yu and let Qin Yu lead the team.

Everyone knows that Qin Yu is now a disciple of Qin An, and at the same time, everyone also knows that Qin Yu manages this charitable foundation, and the charitable foundation currently has 1.5 million taels of gold.

This was taken out by the merchants of the Western Regions, of which 300,000 taels of gold were the compensation of the Bai family, and the other 1.2 million taels were half of the net worth taken out by the merchants of the Western Regions.

In fact, there were not as many as 1.2 million taels of gold, just to thank Qin An, the merchants of the Western Regions specially made it up.

That's fifteen million taels of silver.

This is an astronomical amount of money, not to mention building a city, even a small country can build it.

So whether it is Qin Yu's identity or the huge amount of money in his hand, he has become the leader of this fleet.

Qin An also gave Qin Yu a lot of tasks, including arresting all the natives of Ao County and letting them work.

Build ports, build roads, build bridges, build cities, and so on.

One of the tasks that is particularly important is to make money, the more you earn, the better, but it must be reasonable and legal.

However, Qin Yu is only the leader of the people, and the imperial court has also sent a leader, who is Bai Siqi.

In fact, Qin An thought about letting someone else be the leader, but he was worried that a group of civil officials would have too many ideas, and they would not be as good as Wu in the future.

However, Qin An was worried that the generals had been in the county for a long time, which would make them have no ideas.

So when Qin An was selected in the Manchu Dynasty, he took a fancy to a total of three people, Wang Ben, Meng Fu and Bai Siqi.

However, the descendants of the Wang family and the Meng family are all military generals, and the Bai family, after Bai Qi's death, no one is a general in the army anymore.

Although the Bai family no longer has real power in the army, the Bai family's prestige in the army still exists, and both the Wang family and the Meng family will give the Bai family face.

Bai Siqi can become a marshal of the navy, this is also Yingzheng's arrangement, the Wang family and the Meng family are already the commanders of the first army, and if the navy is handed over to one of them, the power of that family will be too great.

The emperor played a balance, so he asked Bai Si to be the marshal of the navy.

Doing so can also make the soldiers in the army grateful to Yingzheng, because Yingzheng has not forgotten the Bai family.

This time, the imperial court sent a lot of talents to Aojun, the purpose was to develop Aojun and send a steady stream of resources from Aojun to Daqin.

Bai Siqi is currently the highest-ranking official in the Australian county, and he has changed from a naval marshal to a feudal official.

According to what Bai Siqi thought in his heart, he was unwilling to become a feudal official, and it was more suitable for him to continue to be this naval marshal.

But for the Bai family, especially for the current Bai family, it is still the feudal official who is more suitable for him, to be precise, it is suitable for the Bai family.

In Aojun, the Bai family can develop rapidly and surpass the previous Bai family.

However, the price is that in the court, in the army, the prestige of the Bai family will gradually disappear.

The three brothers of the Bai family didn't know this, they still had a grudge against Qin An in their hearts, and they paid 300,000 taels of gold, but their father still didn't have the official position of marshal of the navy, and the Bai family also left Xianyang City.

They thought in their hearts that if they had the opportunity in the future, they would definitely fight back against Qin An.

About three months later, the fleet arrived in Oshire.

At this time, there were already people in Ao County who had already begun to build the city, and they were Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Fan Zeng, Zhang Liang and Xiao He.
