I’m The King Chapter 1499: : One hundred and eighty-nine decisive battles in the world of the Han flag

Shannan County City, once the most important pass in the northern part of the Great Qin, has now become the territory of the Great Han. The troops of the Third Military Region led by He Lanxiong who attacked Qin from here have left here for more than ten days, but here they are. It is still very lively. Countless ordnance supplies are still collected here and sent out every day. Countless caravans are also rushing towards here along the prairie. The businessmen of the big Han always have the keenest sense of smell. Every time the Han army lays down Everywhere, the first batch to arrive are always businessmen. They were even faster than the acceptance officials sent by the big man.

After the Great War, the general places are dilapidated, but at the same time, they are also places where great business opportunities exist. Qin's business has been almost completely destroyed by the blockade of the Han merchants in the past few years. From the perspective of the Han merchants, these places are completely virgin land. If you take the first step, you can preemptively occupy the market. When it got to a point where some small businessmen even took great risks to follow the army. Of course, such risks were also great. If the Han army was defeated, they would have no place to run.

But obviously, the successive victories of the Han army over the years have given these Han merchants considerable confidence. Although Shannan County City was taken down not long ago, countless merchants have flocked here. When the common people were still in shock and didn't know how the occupiers would deal with and plunder them, the merchants had already knocked on their doors.

Renting a house, opening a shop, setting up a warehouse, and getting the good shops in the county first is the thoughts of these businessmen. The value of the shop will immediately rise like a somersault, and these businessmen are already familiar with all this. Shannan County City is a little bit out of the way, and the population is a little less, but it is still a county city anyway. And, discerning businessmen have spotted it. Shannan County City is the hub connecting the prairie with the mainland of Qin. In the future, stimulated by the economic policies of the Han Dynasty, this might be the next Big Wild Goose County.

When the Qin people in the county towns smeared the faces of women and children in their families with black ash, hid them in hidden places as much as possible, and then opened the doors in fear, they stared dumbfounded at the weather-stained guys Waving stacks of brand new banknotes. Shouting: "Make an offer, I rent your house."

The Han merchants were actually holding Han banknotes, not the silver bills that the Qin people thought. However, the Qin people who were uninformed did not know that the Han Empire had already abandoned the direct circulation of gold and silver.

The people of Qin who were overwhelmed with pleasant surprises and trembling with trepidation offered a price. The Han businessmen who broke in did not counter the price at all, but directly took out two documents from their bags, signed them, Pay on the spot.

The looting and humiliation that the Qin people in the county were worried about did not see it at all. Instead, they first inexplicably rented out the house and got a lot of money, and then the officials of the big man came to the door one by one. Unlike the officials in their images who were ashamed and aloof, these Han officials were quite kind, holding a booklet, inquiring softly about the family details of these people, and registered them one by one. , at the end, there was even a bag of grain as a gift.

The people of Qin State in Shannan County City are beginning to experience a storm of baptism in their minds, but the county city has undergone tremendous changes in a short period of time. A large number of caravans poured into the county town, and the rented houses were simply renovated. Countless goods piled up the storefront, and the people in the county who were worried about their livelihood found it immediately. These locals suddenly became popular, because they needed people to decorate houses, unload goods and stack goods. The merchants came, but the number of clerks was not enough, so they had to hire people. After these businessmen were busy in the city, they were busy Then I started to run to the market town below the county town, which naturally required an acquaintance as a guide. Suddenly, the labor cost went up by leaps and bounds. Because there are not many people in Shannan County, and the war caused a considerable loss of population, in a short period of time, the labor costs in the county are almost equivalent to those of the super cities in Han. This allowed the people in Shannan County to earn money that they could not have earned in a year in a short period of time.

The shortage of manpower in Shannan County City has reached an outrageous level, which made the new county guard very angry because he couldn't hire people to repair the city walls, houses, and streets. You know, when He Lanxiong attacked Shannan In the county town, a hundred artillery bombardments blasted the city walls into chaos, and when the army entered the city, the ordinary houses were not affected much, but important departments like the government office were beaten to a disastrous state. He Lanxiong led his army to slap their buttocks and continued marching to the interior, leaving such a rotten beach for the officials who took over, how could it not cause headaches for the newcomers?

The key point is that the government competes with the merchants, and he can't do it. It's over, everything has to be done according to the rules, which made almost two months pass, and the new county guard still has to live in a dilapidated government office, and he hates it all day long. Itchy but helpless.

Fortunately, as the news spread in Shannan County, some people who had escaped returned to the county one after another, and the surrounding villagers also began to gather in the city. The money in the city is easy to earn.

The influx of a large number of people has eased the employment crisis of the County Sheriff's Mansion. The merchants have almost finished their work, and the labor costs have begun to drop. Now he can finally start to rectify the chaos in the county.

When Mingtai took Qin Yijian and other confidants into Shannan County City, what he saw was a bustling scene, as if every part of the city had become a construction site, and carts of garbage were being pushed out of the city by trolleys Outside, cartloads of white ash and blue bricks were dragged into the city. Looking around, a brand new Shannan County city had already taken shape. And what impressed Mingtai even more were those people whose clothes were still tattered, but whose faces were filled with smiles.

Once upon a time, he saw numbness and despair on the faces of the common people in the state of Qin. He had hardly seen such a happy smile from the heart in recent years.

"Commander Ming, don't underestimate these workers. As far as I know, the money they earned in the past few months is probably more than my salary in the past few years. !" Cao Tianci, who was in charge of receiving Mingtai, said with a smile: "There are job opportunities everywhere, but there is not enough manpower, so the wages are going up and up, making me feel like I have to push a cart for a few days." Cao Tianci laughed and said that he was proud, because only in the Han Kingdom could he see such a vivid scene.

Mingtai is speechless. In his image, as long as the government orders such a thing, countless people can be summoned to work for free. The Chinese government will pay a lot of wages for this.

The houses on both sides of the street are now very different from the past in the reflection. The doors have been enlarged and the windows have been more than doubled. The current Shannan County looks much more lively and prosperous than Xianyang.

The people crowded in the store to buy things are all ordinary villagers. You can tell their identities from their clothes. He took out the banknotes of the big man from his arms, and took those goods away one by one.

"They have earned a lot of money during this time, so they naturally want to reward themselves well. The best sellers in the city now are cloth, some small accessories, and all kinds of meat." Cao Tianci smiled and introduced.

"It won't always be easy to make money like it is now, right? Earn it fast, spend it fast, and you'll have a hard time in the future!" Mingtai's voice was slightly sour.

"In us big men, as long as we work hard, we can always make money." Cao Tianci said. "There are many opportunities to make money. Those who have the ability and ideas can make a lot of money, while those who only have a lot of labor don't have to worry about making a living. This is just the beginning. In the future, this place will get better and better."

Mingtai walked forward in silence, and Cao Tianci also knew that it must not be easy to change this person's perception of the Han Empire all at once. The policies pursued by the Han Empire, let alone Mingtai Even in the territory of the Han Dynasty, there are still different voices, and His Majesty is tolerant, not only allowing these people to beep on the newspaper, but also to write an article to debate with them. In Cao Tianci's view, Such a guy should be taken directly as a traitor and intending to subvert the government.

Mingtai stopped suddenly~IndoMTL.com~ eyes stared straight at a place, Cao Tianci was slightly stunned, followed his gaze, and at the corner of the street, there was a small stall selling But Liangpier, which is a specialty of the old Qin people, is not common even in Shannan County.

"Commander Ming is also hungry, why don't I treat you to finish eating the Liangpier!" Cao Tianci laughed.

"Minister Cao also likes this bite?" Mingtai was startled and asked.

"It's not that I love this mouthful, but that it's well-known. To be honest, I don't eat much, but I want to have a taste after seeing the commander's appearance."

"Exactly, I'm going to Guanshan Wanzhong now, I'm afraid it won't be so easy if I want to taste the authentic Old Qin Liangpier again." Mingtai said with some emotion.

Cao Tianci smiled, Mingtai is going to go to Xinqin, indeed it can be regarded as Guanshan Wanzhong, and now Xinqin is making small moves, but there is no need for the big man to tear his face with them now, Wang Jian doesn’t want to Mingtai, just give it to him. Mingtai’s departure from Xianyang will be an obvious blow to the current Qin regime. As for the future, Cao Tianci does not believe that the new Qin can still be turned upside down. After all these years, for the new Qin The long-term arrangement of Dahan has never stopped. (To be continued.)
