Chapter 185: Troubled Times: Assignment

Jin Rui bowed and replied: "King Qiqi, that's exactly the case." ”

"Western countries like my Dawu's wheat, rice, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other all kinds of goods, these may be relatively cheap in my Dawu, but if they are pushed to the West, they may be sold at sky-high prices. The royal nobles of the western palace are extremely willing to pay a lot of money for our things. ”

"So! Our goods, basically as soon as they arrived, were snapped up, therefore! When we keep cargo, the economy grows. ”

"But like the big countries in the west, the most is agate, jade, jade, minerals, etc., and things like agate, jade, jade, and jade are very popular in our Dawu, but in the West, they are a little cheap, this kind of Western price! Not even a few thousandth of my martial arts. ”

"The exchange of things between the east and the west, the economy of my Beiliang will develop rapidly, and the golden feather sea will develop so fast."

Because Jin Rui's unintentional words aroused Dongfang Yu's endless excitement, agate and jade, if they were placed in his previous life, of course they were rare, as long as they were a piece, he would be worried about eating and drinking all his life. But now! As the king of a land and the overlord of Beiliang, he has more gold, silver and jade. If you see too much, that's it!

And now, what he lacks most is minerals, iron ore, copper ore, gold ore...... He wants to build artillery, or build equipment, these things, but they can't be missing.

He hurriedly said: "Jin Rui, you just said that in Western countries, minerals are very cheap? ”

Jin Rui replied: "Yes! The king doesn't know that the ironmaking technology and casting technology of Western countries are very backward, and! The Western mineral deposits are extremely rich, and there are as many as cattle hairs in the ministers. However, the mining technology of Westerners is extremely poor, and the iron mined is of very inferior quality, and almost all of them are sold at low prices. ”

"And I, Dawu, am very strong in iron smelting, but if I really want to transport this iron back to my home and refine it, not to mention that it is very troublesome, even the economy consumed is also very large."

Oh!

This reminded Dongfang Yu that when it comes to iron-making technology, he, a modern person, is very good! And! Under his leadership, the purity of iron ore, gold ore, and magazines in it is very high.

But if that's it! He can buy the minerals of the West! Or is it...... Send troops to fight down!

Thinking of this, Dongfang Yu suddenly shook his head again, Beiliang has just finished the war, and the sword soldiers are raised again, which is not good for the economy of Beiliang and the common people. And! For the sake of such a distant mineral deposit, it is really impossible to mobilize the people.

At least, for Dongfang Yu, who now only has the land of Beiliang Prefecture, it is a very unwise decision to invade other people's countries. The only way to quickly obtain Western mineral sources is to buy the right to use the mine at a low price.

Dongfang Yu asked: "Jin Rui, do you have a way to buy these mines for my Qin State to use?" ”

Jin Rui replied: "If the king wants to, the minister can naturally take down some mines for my Qin State to use!" ”

Jin Rui's cooperation with the Western countries has not been a day or two, and the kings of the Western countries and him can be regarded as half an old acquaintance! There are interests in the middle, and the Western countries will not refuse to accept it. After all! Western countries, can they also make money?

"Good! Jin Rui listened! ”

"The minister is here!"

Jin Rui hurriedly bowed down.

"Lone will protect your Western Capital now, and you will be in charge of trade with Western countries. Allow you to recruit guards from the west in Beiliang, and the convoy equipment you need will be handed over to the Ordnance Factory. Dongfang Yu said, and then reminded Wang Pu, "Wang Pu, the matter of building a new car will be handed over to you, and how much money you need will be reported to Lone!" ”

"No!"

Sure enough? The god operator is always wrong, he is a small merchant and a peddler, and one day he can turn over and become a big official. The entire Western Regions Fortress is always carded, and this official position is not small.

After Jin Rui and Wang Pu returned to the queue.

Oriental Feather continued: "In addition! In the first battle of the Northern Expedition, our Qin army suffered heavy losses, and it is a top priority! It is to supplement the soldiers and horses and build equipment. ”

"The recruitment of soldiers and horses will be in charge of Liu Wenqin and Yang Xiu, and you can recruit new soldiers in Beiliang Prefecture, all counties and counties, and refugees."

"As for the weapons, they are all made by the arsenal."

"No!" The two also received the royal order.

After a long time, he realized that the arsenal he set up by himself was becoming more and more important. The Beiliang Arsenal is already very large, but it is still difficult to meet the demand by relying on this arsenal alone?

Later, he ordered Lantian to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard Wuguan; Luo Zong led 5,000 soldiers and horses to guard the north gate. The two levels are stable, and Dongfang Yu is relieved.

As for the Xuanjia Army, there are still back-up personnel in the county, but it still needs to be recruited from among the veterans.

……

Assign the task down, and in the recent past, the generals have been busy. Dongfang Yu, on the other hand, set his sights on the construction of a new city.

The project was huge, and it took two months to start construction, and more than half of the project was completed. But! At this rate, it should be able to build a new city in the cold winter.

"Where's Tian Ping? As for the new city, we still need some speed, don't we have a million refugees? are all mobilized, the new city will be built quickly, and there are several attached county seats, so we have to start construction quickly. What he said made Dongfang Yu beg the latter to do it.

To be honest, Tian Ping is also embarrassed? Building a new city is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially money and food, which costs the same as running water.

And now! Listening to Dongfang Yu's meaning, is he preparing to build a county town?

"O king? You're not going to build a county, are you? Tian Ping asked cautiously.

Dongfang Yu was noncommittal, and nodded slightly, "Yes!" Lonely is to build a county, hey! Don't say it, the name of this county, Gu Du has thought about it, it will be called Anding County, this city must be bigger than Wuwei County, we have a lot of refugees, we have to think of a way. ”

"So! Lone has decided to settle the new city and live with a population of 550,000. What about the rest...... Didn't our Qin County expand the city? The area is larger than other county towns, so why can't this be without people? ”

"That's it! Mobilize 350,000 people to supplement the population of Qin County, and if there are still 450,000 refugees left, they will be moved to the six counties, so that the Taishou of the six counties can be accommodated equally. As for the money, I have already asked Jin Yu Haiya to allocate it as soon as possible. ”

"Plus! Fanhua's Qinghuayuan, I also sent someone to levy a fund to enter Beiliang. The matter of relocating these millions of people has been solved in this way! But! In the past few days, you and Pei Hao, the construction of the new city, you have to worry a lot. Other affairs at home were handed over to Wang Su and Shang Haibo. ”

That's fine! Otherwise, all the things in Quanbeiliang were done for Tian Ping, and the others didn't do anything, isn't that a wine bag and rice bag, ready to starve to death? He said in his heart that he had to help him balance!

"Your Majesty obeys!"

Tian Ping and Pei Hao received the order, tell the truth! Just building a new city is enough for him to be busy. It's good now! He wished someone would have shared some of the burden for him.
