Anything can be sold, but there is only one thing that no one will sell, and that is profit.

"Li Daoxing is just a small problem, but I can use this salt river to bring the relatives of the Tang Dynasty, even the emperor, here, which is of great significance."

Xiaojiu couldn't help being dumbfounded, and whispered: "It's too exaggerated to pull the emperor to do business together?"

She knows that her husband is powerful, but this is too powerful, and he is pulling the emperor to do business. I haven't heard of anyone who is so awesome.

"Haha, the emperor is also a human being. When he is short of money, he naturally needs his own property! Besides, with the emperor around, he can save a lot of trouble, which is a good thing."

Wang Xiu said meaningfully.

Salt is a luxury item these days. Common people can only eat private salt and low-quality salt. Top-grade refined salt is definitely expensive, and only nobles can afford it.

But according to Wang Xiu's knowledge, this salt river is actually composed of large and small salt springs. There are almost hundreds of salt springs, and it can be said that Datang alone can't finish it in a lifetime.

This is inexhaustible wealth.

If this wealth is only owned by him alone, there will definitely be problems, because the money is too big, no one can resist the temptation, and I am afraid that the princes of the aristocratic family will make a move.

If you get this thing in your hands, you are doomed to a lifetime of wealth, who can stand it.

If you can't stand it, you will have to.

He took out a map and handed it to Xiaojiu, and said with a smile: "Xiaojiu, if you ask someone to give this map to Li Daoxing, he will know what to do, a small county magistrate like him alone can't handle it. "

Xiaojiu froze for a moment, glanced at the map, and suddenly turned pale with shock.

It turns out that this salt spring is here, no wonder the governor said so.

She hurried down to make arrangements.

At this time, Pang Tong, who was waiting on the side, came over, holding a large stack of documents in his hand, looking very anxious.

"My lord, we made a fortune this time, hahaha." He smiled as he walked.

Wang Xiu couldn't help laughing, if he could make Feng Chu laugh so happily, then he must have made a lot of money this time.

"Speak and see."

"My lord, this expedition wiped out most of the power of the Nanzhao Group, and the rest are under our control. Nanzhao basically belongs to the lord."

"We have harvested a total of about 50 million taels of money, 10 taels of gold, 15 taels of silver, countless animal skins and so on, and nearly [-] prisoners. This battle can be described as a huge profit."

sizzle!

After hearing Pang Tong's introduction, Wang Xiu couldn't help but take a deep breath. He didn't expect that such a dilapidated Nanzhao would have so much money, which is simply unimaginable.

You must know that in his impression, this Nanzhao was very backward.

Chapter 150 Jiaozhou Population Plan

The profit from the First World War was nearly 200 million yuan, which is not unreasonable, and it can even be said to be rich.

Even Pang Tong himself couldn't believe it, and said with a wry smile: "I never thought that these Nanzhao people are so rich, but I am very surprised, why they still like to rob things when they are so rich? Can't eat shit?"

The money can buy enough food, why do you want to rob, this makes him very puzzled.

"Having money does not mean that you will be satisfied. Moreover, Nanzhao is mostly mountainous and hilly, and the agriculture is very underdeveloped. It is estimated that the people can't eat enough. Even if they have money, they can't buy food. It's better to grab it."

For this point, Wang Xiu agrees quite a bit. Although his own stuff is good, it is not as good as other people's stuff.

However, he is not very interested in Wang Xiu. This is a matter of human nature, and it is too big to study. What he is interested in is why Nanzhao is so rich. There must be secrets in it.

"Have you ever found out why Nanzhao has so much money?"

Pang Tong nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Nanzhao belongs to the slavery country mentioned by the lord. They conduct a large number of slave trades, which are very popular among the nobles of the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, they also sell resources such as salt and pig iron. , so I made a lot of money.”

Now that Wang Xiu said it, he understood that most of it was salt and pig iron, especially salt, which was absolutely pure profit as mentioned earlier.

As for the slave trade, it was also a huge income.

slave!

As a slavery country, Nanzhao naturally has no shortage of slaves, and even slaves occupy a large number.

"This is interesting, no one wants to be a slave for the rest of their lives!"

A gleam flashed in Wang Xiu's eyes, perhaps he had already thought of Nanzhao's final solution.

Although he controlled the upper layer, the Nanzhao people below were not necessarily convinced.

But if you start with slaves, then these people will definitely be grateful to Dade, because slaves are often inferior to pigs and dogs.

It only takes Wang Xiu to use some tricks to turn these slaves into his own thugs, or the kind who work hard.

This matter can be manipulated, but this matter cannot be done by Bai Qi.

You must know that the general arrest of slaves does not arrest the old, weak, sick and disabled, because they are worthless. Generally, slaves are middle-aged or young, and they all have certain prospects.

This is exactly what Jiaozhou needs at present, and the number of people in the Zhennan Metropolitan Government is still too small.

As far as Bai Qi was concerned, these slaves were of limited value and took up resources instead. Their fate might only be used as cannon fodder for death squads.

In his opinion, things that are useless are a waste of his own resources, so they are unnecessary.

In fact, for a protagonist, such a general is the best choice, because he is enough to save worry and money.

The resources needed for a big battle are absolutely exaggerated.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty accumulated a lot of resources after the Wenjing rule, but he insisted on exhausting them in several battles to destroy the Xiongnu, and finally even the people couldn't bear it anymore.

It is because World War I consumed too many resources, which is not so easy to bear.

Why the Qin Dynasty was able to fight six with one attack? From Wang Xiu’s point of view, the main credit for the early stage lies in Bai Qi’s style of play. The annihilation battle mainly consumes the opponent’s vital strength, which invisibly reduces its own consumption.

It even feels a bit like fighting to support war.

Of course, this method of warfare also has disadvantages, and that is the issue of loyalty.

This kind of military general has a very high prestige in the army, and it can even be said that he is well-received, and the general lord is very afraid.

But here at Bai Qi, Wang Xiu doesn't have to worry at all, this is undoubtedly the best choice.

He couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "Pang Tong, I'll leave this matter to you to restore some slaves' identities appropriately. At the same time, I asked Kuang Tianyou to investigate Nanzhao carefully. I suspect that there are other mine veins in Nanzhao, and I have to find them out."

The value of ore veins cannot be ignored. If it is a gold mine, it is even more powerful.

"Don't worry, my lord, I'll make arrangements later." Pang Tong said solemnly.

Wang Xiu nodded, and suddenly said: "Post up a notice that the people in the Nandu Governor's Mansion in Zhennan are encouraged to give birth to increase the population of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, the people of the Tang Dynasty are welcome to live in Jiaozhou, and land will be distributed."

If a region wants to develop, it needs not only resources, but also population.

There are still too few people in Jiaozhou, and a large number of people need to be imported from other areas of Datang, which can also relieve the pressure on other areas.

Having said that, Pang Tong was a little embarrassed.

"My lord, these people are mixed with dragons and snakes, will there be any problems?" Pang Tong asked worriedly.

He knows that there are many things about his protagonist, which cannot be seen in the light, because there is something beyond the invisible.

The people in Jiaozhou are fine, they naturally turn to Wang Xiu after being taken care of by Wang Xiu, but if they come from other places, it will be different.

These people are out of control, and many of them are even spies, or someone else's eyeliner.

This is very unsafe.

"Hahaha, don't worry about this matter, I have my own way to deal with it!"

Wang Xiu couldn't help laughing, if it was before, he wouldn't dare to commit suicide like this, but now the problem is not so big.

Because the system rewarded him with an attribute when he achieved the "One Hundred Response" achievement, that is, the loyalty of the people in the jurisdiction +50, so that basically no one can betray him.

You must know that those who exceed [-] are towards Wang Xiu, and this attribute is directly increased by [-], which means that the loyalty of many people will reach the full value, which is an extremely terrible thing.

That is, from now on, Wang Xiu can really respond to everyone, this is the card.

"This subordinate understands, but does my lord have any more orders?"

The lord said so, but Pang Tong didn't go into it, because he also knew that his lord was a supernatural being, so he would naturally have his own way.

"By the way, Bai Qi and the others will soon return to Jiaozhou. All the people in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion must participate. I hope that those who have contributed to Jiaozhou can return with glory, not in sorrow!"

"In the future, I will ask the emperor to build a hero monument so that they will be remembered by the world."

Heroes need to be remembered, not forgotten!

Bai Qi's return is mainly to allow Jiaozhou soldiers to go home to report safety, and it is also to send back the soldiers who died in battle, let them return to their hometowns, and let their families welcome them.

This was specifically requested by Wang Xiu.

It is true that soldiers are shrouded in horse leather, but it is their wish to return to their hometown, and let the people behind remember the man behind this peace.

Chapter 151 Lin Yi Guoshi Ji Gang

It was their deaths in battle that brought the safety of Jiaozhou.

People in Jiaozhou, and even in the Tang Dynasty in the southwest, need to remember their kindness, which they earned with their lives.

Those who do not know how to be grateful are not qualified to enjoy peace and ease.

There was admiration and comfort in Pang Tong's eyes, and he exclaimed: "The lord is kind, it is our blessing, and the brothers who died will also smile for having such a lord!"

Soldiers have died in battle since ancient times. At most, it is nothing more than a pension and some money, but it has not been taken so seriously.

There are more than a million people in the entire Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, and they are going to greet them. What an honor, this is definitely the highest honor for a soldier, and it cannot be added.

"Okay, stop flattering and arrange this matter. If you don't do well, you will be in big trouble." Wang Xiu laughed.

Pang Tong hurried out of the way and went down to arrange things.

After Pang Tong left, Wang Xiu called Qinglong and asked, "How is Ji Gang doing recently? How is he doing in Linyi? He won't be killing people, right?"

Wang Xiu is still very concerned about Ji Gang, the villain's subordinate.

Although Ji Gang won't betray him, but this guy's ability to handle affairs is top-notch, and he will never be so calm.

Mentioning this Qinglong suddenly had a strange expression on his face, and said a little strangely: "My lord, Ji Gang has now become Lin Yi's national teacher."

"National Division?"

puff!

Wang Xiu took a sip of tea and sprayed it out, he was stunned and said: "This guy has two sets, and he actually got into the position of the national teacher. He is really a talent!"

He asked Ji Gang to do something, but now this guy has become the national teacher of Linyi, which is almost below one person and above ten thousand people.

It seems that Ji Gang is really a special talent, his ability to climb up is really not small, so he went up.

"My lord, it's like this..." Qinglong quickly explained.

It turned out that after Ji Gang entered Linyi, he directly found the king of Linyi and told him that he had the ability to put down the chaos in Linyi, but he needed a certain status.

In the beginning, he was just a general, and then he easily dispatched a few men to kill those rebels until blood flowed into rivers, and Lin Yi finally had a peaceful life.

The king of Linyi was overjoyed and directly made him a national teacher.

"Damn, this king of Linyi is really a clever little ghost. He drove away the little ghost and left behind a big devil. Ji Gang is not a good person." Wang Xiu couldn't help muttering.

Qinglong smiled and said: "Master, Ji Gang sent more than 3 Kunlun slaves from Linyi, just to use them to build roads."

"Good guy, I'm going to start delivering it now. Ji Gang is a pretty good kid." Wang Xiu was very satisfied. This Ji Gang was very efficient, and he started making things to send slaves so quickly.

If this makes him the king of Linyi, then the whole Linyi will be his own, no problem.

Now that Nanzhao was basically destroyed, his eyes fell on Linyi and Zhenla, and it was time to give them some motivation, otherwise they would all pretend to be dead.

"Let Zhang He go to Linyi and Chenla. Now that we have destroyed Nanzhao, it's time to open up the road between Chenla and Linyi. Tell them that the Metropolitan Government will build a road to lead directly to Pyu for trade. Let them have fun."

……

Li Daoxing on the other side, after returning to the Governor's Mansion, felt that he was not feeling well.

He looked at everything as if he saw a gold ingot, and he was a little dazed. Qin Yun on the side couldn't help being dumbfounded. Why did the governor go to the governor's mansion and become like this.

"Captain, what's wrong with you? Could it be that the miasma has broken out again?"

"No, you've taken the little wine girl's medicine, so you should be much better."

Qin Yun was very worried, but nothing happened.

Li Daoxing woke up and said in a bad mood: "What kind of miasma is happening again, with my sister-in-law's secret medicine, now I have basically adapted to the climate here, and my health is much better than yours."

He was not joking when he said this, his health is really much better now, Xiaojiu is a person who is proficient in medicine, his call to Mrs. Madam directly made Xiaojiu's heart ecstatic, so he gave him one.
