A few days later, Chen Gong and Bu Zhi's plans were sent to Jinling. At the same time, recruitment notices began to be issued everywhere in Liaodong, Wuhuan, Gaoguli and other places. Just like the Jiangdong construction in the past, wages were paid daily.

Cash. And there is a little more, which can be discounted according to local conditions into necessities such as tea, salt, cloth, etc., or exchanged for cattle and sheep. Countless businessmen are also keenly aware of the upcoming business opportunities, and have led their fleets to swarm.

Towards Liaodong.

After Tian Feng, who was in charge of finance, received Chen Gong's plan and a request for increased funding, he came to the palace with a strange expression and handed it to Yuan Shu.

"Your Majesty, look at what Chen Gongtai is doing!" Tian Feng said in a deep voice: "Liaodong is only a county, and even if it is important, you can't waste money and food like this! Our great Chu has now moved to three states, everywhere

They all need construction. If other counties and counties do the same, no matter how rich our country is, we will not be able to support it!"

Different from Tian Feng's anger and worry, Yuan Shu opened the two letters from Chen Gong with great interest, as well as the painted-over map of Liaodong, and read it with relish.

"What a great Chen Gongtai. It seems that I still underestimated him. Tsk tsk, what a generous move. If I had known better, I would have sent him to Xiliang."

Seeing that Yuan Shu was not angry but actually praised him, Tian Feng's face darkened instantly.

"His Majesty!"

"Okay, okay, I understand. In principle, Chen Gong's approach is indeed inappropriate. You don't need to allocate funds to him. However, Liaodong can be said to be independent of our great Chu. It is our great Chu

A nail in northern Xinjiang is indeed special, and it is understandable that Chen Gong would bother with it." Yuan Shu reassured: "Forget about the appropriation, I will privately order banks to lend money to it, and arrange for commercial banks to trade in Liaodong.

We have to support every issue. The rest depends on Chen Gong’s own methods.”

Yuan Shu is very optimistic about Chen Gong's behavior. Population is always more important than money. Even if the money required for this is enough to recruit an army of 200,000 people, Yuan Shu does not care. With the current level of prosperity in Jiangdong, the money and food for an army of 200,000 people is not at all

Things. Money is just a general equivalent, and it circulates. No matter how much you spend, as long as it does not exceed a certain limit, it will naturally flow back.

The money spent in Liaodong will eventually go to the people of Liaodong. When the people of Liaodong have money, they will naturally use it for food, clothing, housing and transportation to make money and promote the construction and development of Liaodong. As long as the context and rhythm can be grasped, they will naturally be able to pass the macro

Regulation and banks maintain the balance of prices and money.

Don't ask why Yuan Shu is so rich. Da Chu Bank just prints a banknote and it is money. After playing in the bank for so long, Yuan Shu, Tian Feng and others have gradually figured out some financial concepts, and can barely play some tricks.

.However, for the sake of safety, caution is the top priority.

After vaguely realizing the nature of money, Yuan Shu completely went on the road of lavish spending and never returned. All the money was his, but it was just distributed to different people for use. In the end, all rivers would return to the sea, and the flow would flow back to the sea.

Return it to him.

Especially in this era, the people's livelihood is simple and ignorant, and one family is the only one. No country is aware of this problem. Everyone is drunk and I am sober. How to play this money game is entirely up to Yuan Shu himself.

From the perspective of the Chu State, what Yuan Shu values ​​​​is not money and food. Money is paper and there is no shortage of food. What Yuan Shu values ​​​​is population, productivity and technology.

"Let's put aside what Chen Gong said for the time being. If he doesn't agree or disagree, he should understand what we mean. This can also stop other people's mouths. Spending money is really a bit too aggressive during this period. Let's be steady first.

"Da Chu Bank is the foundation of our Chu country's finance, and there must be no problems. Once there is a crack in trust, it will be difficult to make up for it," Yuan Shu said.

"I understand." Tian Feng bowed and said.

"Also, the Bu Zhi you recommended is very good. Let Chen Gong train him well, and he may be able to take over your class in the future." Yuan Shu said smoothly. He read Bu Zhi's plan, which was extremely comprehensive and detailed. He almost

All possible aspects have been considered, and he acts extremely calmly, with some creative and targeted ideas. It can be seen that this person has a delicate mind, a cautious character, and an eclectic approach.

Of course, Yuan Shu also saw some signs of Chen Gong's lavish spending. The Wubao and beacon towers all over the planned roads of Chen Gong are the best proof. He followed suit, but it was true that more buildings were built on the grassland.

Wubao and Beacon Tower are the best choices.

"Your Majesty is exaggerating. Zishan is still young, and he is just picking up people's wisdom." Tian Feng said modestly. Whether he admits it or not, from the moment he recommended Bu Zhi, his mark was left on this young man.

"The nomadic people in the north have always been a big problem. For the time being, our methods cannot be too tough. The big stick must be erect, but we must also be gentle and make them surrender. Use business and wealth to corrupt, domesticate, divide them, and then fade away.

Its culture, conquering its culture and spirit. This is a big project that takes a long time!" Yuan Shu sighed lightly.

"Your Majesty has great talent, broad vision, and long-term vision. If you can really do it, it will be a great achievement." Tian Feng sighed.

Compared with agricultural peoples like the Han people, nomadic peoples (including fishermen and hunters) are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of population and productivity, but they have taken the initiative in the military. With the advantages of cavalry's mobility, and the nomadic people's production and combat

With similar characteristics, all people can become soldiers

In an era without internal combustion engines and firearms, the mobility of cavalry was incomparable to that of infantry, and the guerrilla tactics of cavalry could not be truly solved. There were only two ways to deal with nomads. One was to build the Great Wall through Qin Shihuang.

City walls and forts are defensive means to resist attacks. Second, like Huo Qubing, attack with attack.

However, these two methods can only relieve the temporary pain. The best result is just like Huo Qubing, who beats the Northern Huns and flees. But other alien races will still rise, because the northern grasslands are so vast that they are not suitable for the survival of the Han people at all.

When the Xiongnu fled, there was Xianbei, and when Xianbei was destroyed, there was Wuhuan. After that, the Mongols and Jurchens could not be contained at all.

To solve this problem once and for all, we can only "Chinese" these alien races, but this has many problems. Many emperors in history thought of this and adopted various methods, such as every time a new emperor ascended the throne.

Later, a failed prince was sent north with tens of thousands of death row prisoners to stay in the grasslands for a lifetime, pass on the legacy, or move the people to the grasslands, etc.

However, due to the subtle changes of the environment over countless years, the Han people who have adapted to the farming life have difficulty adapting to life on the northern grasslands. Whether it is climate, diet or other aspects, it is difficult to adapt to the northern environment. In addition, it is difficult to leave their homeland, and the Han people migrate to the north on a large scale.

The possibility of relocation is too low. And the population is not enough, so it will be too difficult to Chineseize. You cannot expect that tens of thousands of people can really assimilate dozens or millions of people.

Of course, in the end, the problem of the northern nomads was solved in a sense. It was the Qing Dynasty that solved this problem. They used three methods, one was to win over them with gentleness, intermarry and treat them favorably; the other was to serve as the Khan of each tribe.

position, and establish the alliance flag system to fix the territory of each tribe; third, soften their ideas through religion, and use policies to carry out family planning for ethnic minorities.

The Qing Dynasty's methods themselves have certain uniqueness and superiority. Compared with many other dynasties, its greatest advantage is that it recognizes the superiority of Han culture and also recognizes its identity as a nomadic people, unlike many Han dynasties.

, holds a discriminatory and contemptuous attitude towards nomads, but truly treats them as equals and as one of their own.
