"Xiliang needs to replenish the population, and blind migration is only a bad strategy." Fei Qian said slowly, "Forcing migration will cause resentment and remedy for the people, it will be smooth. The way to drive the people is profit. Profit is not a temporary benefit, but a lifetime method."
Zhang Liao was aside and listened carefully.
Jiuquan has little problem, but the big one is Xiliang.
As a farmland, Xiliang has little room for development, but if you change your ideas and position the Liangzhou Hexi Corridor as a transit station and a mineral area, then the overall structure will undergo earth-shaking changes.
"If there is a mine, how much health can it be maintained?"
Fei Qian asked.
Zhang Liao pondered for a moment, "Mining, mining, agitator, guarding, transport... This depends on the size of the mine, ranging from hundreds to thousands."
Fei Qian nodded and said, "Not bad. Moreover, these laborers have other families. If a family of five is considered a medium-sized mine, it can support tens of thousands of people."
Zhang Liao should be.
Fei Qian looked into the distance and said, "Not only does the mine require population, do you need rest or eat along the way of transportation? In this way, there are also transportation caravans and many inns, which can support a lot of people. The minerals are produced and smelting, and how many people can be supported by smelting coal, charcoal, iron and metallurgy? "
"In this way, everyone needs food and drink, food, cloth, and residence. The residence requires bricks, stones, and wood, so they can feed craftsmen and merchants. However, these craftsmen and merchants may not all be transported. The local area will naturally have additional planting and processing benefits, and farmers will also get their benefits..."
"In this way, both farmers, industry and commerce have their own benefits, and scholars will naturally gain their merits. The people have extra money, can spend money, and the industry will become more stable, and then they will inevitably want to eat, drink and have fun... How many people do they support when they open restaurants, restaurants, and stories and operas? They can live people, and naturally they will not have the intention to rebel. Even if the wealthy people in Xiliang want to do something, no one will listen to them..."
Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard this. He used to be military and did not have much involvement in civil affairs, but Zhang Liao was not stupid, but had no chance before. Now, after hearing Fei Qian's words, he suddenly realized that this place in Xiliang really has great potential.
For Fei Qian, these are all basic operations.
After all, the added value of agriculture is indeed a big gap compared with industry. And at this time, Dahan's industries were basically labor-intensive industries, which can solve the food problem of many people. As for the dangerous pollution of mining, no one has considered this problem yet.
Zhang Liao thought for a while and said, "But the miners gathered... If there were people who were fighting bravely..."
Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "The lord's intention is... the method of pulling courage?"
Fei Qian nodded, "No matter whether it is farmers or miners, they are always a little unwilling to be ordinary. If they ignore it or suppress supervision, it will be inappropriate. As the saying goes, it is better to loosen it. Therefore, we should use it and draw the brave men into the army. One is to make the best use of it, and the other is to calm the people's hearts."
Miners have always been more advanced than ordinary farmers in terms of organizationality and physical strength. Many rebels like to use miners when recruiting soldiers.
Fei looked into the distant mountains with a faint gaze.
Zhang Liao just thought about how to guide the people to calm the people, while Fei Qian thought about it more.
What position is what the question is.
Fei Qian may be considered a laborer now, but more should be considered a ruler.
The words that Fei Qian and Zhang Liao just said are actually a kind of information and knowledge. The biggest difference between rulers and workers is not the difference in physical strength, but the difference in intelligence or information.
There is an essential difference between rulers and workers, whether in feudal dynasties or in capitalist society.
The emperors of the feudal dynasty also worked, and they had to go to the ground every year when spring plowing began. So can the emperor be said to be the same as ordinary workers?
So whenever feudalism says that officials and ordinary workers are the same, they will be right.
To develop and climb to the top of the world, it requires a large population, or labor force.
Whether it is a farmer or a miner, they are all workers.
Human history is created by workers. Without workers, there will be no continuation and development of human civilization.
There is no doubt about this.
But workers are the lowest and most overlooked group among the feudal dynasties of all dynasties.
From ancient times to the present, workers have never been rich and powerful. At most, they can only be rich in food, food, clothing, food, clothing, and small wealth. It is basically impossible for anyone to be promoted to the class through simple labor.
Among the feudal dynasties, no emperor relied on his own efforts to plow the fields or mine the throne. Even the ancient model of water control expert praised by the feudal dynasty, Dayu, also forced Yao to abdicate in him through violent means.
"Bamboo Book" records that "Yao's virtue was declining in the past and was imprisoned by Shun. Shun imprisoned Yao and then blocked Danzhu, so that he would not meet his father." Danzhu raised the troops of Sanmiao to attack Shun, and the two sides fought in Danpu. Unfortunately, Danzhu's general Kuafu fell into a swamp and died, and Houyi, the subordinate of Dayu, happened to develop a sharp long-range weapon...
Kuafu chases the sun, Houyi shoots the sun, this "sun" actually refers to the imperial power!
But violence cannot represent everything.
To evaluate the quality of a worker, it is naturally the quantity of the worker's production, and what is to evaluate the quality of a ruler?
Rulers should make workers live better and produce more.
Instead of being rulers by a guy who only has violence and can only kill people.
This is a rule derived from ancient primitive tribes.
The reason why Dayu was able to secure his position when he seized power was because he could bring a better life to the people, but Danzhu had no choice.
So when Danzhu was also called emperor, no one was born.
Fei Qian can show violence, but it cannot rely solely on violence.
When recruiting these big families from Xiliang, they always have to find a way out for them.
The development of farming in Xiliang is obviously not as good as that in the Central Plains, so mining and commerce are the new paths for Xiliang. Although the disability rate of mining ore in this era is very high, all technologies cannot be achieved overnight, and they can only be gradually improved and gradually improved.
By increasing the compensation for miners' death, mine owners are forced to increase their awareness of production safety.
Through mutual competition among mines, mine owners are forced to improve production technology and develop new production tools.
Of course, it is more likely that the miners will not improve production equipment, but will squeeze miners more crazily, causing conflicts and causing miners' riots...
Therefore, Zhang Liao, a general with sufficient force, needs to garrison here.
Pain is always an excellent teacher in human growth.
Just like many fools in later generations boasted about Western welfare, but did not know that it was because of the threat of hammers and sickles that capitalism improved the welfare of workers.
"I heard that there is copper ore here..." Fei Qian said slowly, "I have sent officials to investigate everywhere..."
Fei Qian remembers it very clearly, but it seems that there are still a lot of coal and iron in Jiuquan. In addition, there are other minerals, such as gypsum and clay, and some minerals that cannot be mined at present or cannot be used even if they are mined.
Anyway, Liangzhou is indeed not suitable for large-scale agriculture, but there are really a lot of minerals.
However, agriculture is the basis of everything. Even the development of industry and commerce requires the basis of agriculture to advance.
Fei Qian's support for new types of merchants is also based on the fact that agriculture can meet the needs of the military and civilians under his rule. If the merchants will endanger the people's foundation, he will destroy these black sheep without hesitation.
"The population gathers, and the food and grass needs will inevitably increase. Once the climate changes, it will inevitably lead to a slut who want to hoard money and make huge profits..." Fei Qian continued, which was also a point for Zhang Liao. "Therefore, if there are such rats, strict laws should be implemented! In addition, there are many salt and grain in Yangyi Mountain, and more caravans should be built to communicate. The literary world is long and the task is long and the way is long. We should be cautious and cautious..."
Zhang Liao responded with a look of sternness.
After the population of Xiliang increases, there will inevitably be a shortage of food, but Yang Fu is in the snowy area, almost all unmanned areas, and salt and grass are oversupply, which can just fill the gap in Xiliang.
From the end of the Han Dynasty to the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was a period of rapid development of the snowy area. A large number of herders who fled to the snowy area because of the small ice rivers brought more advanced production technology to the snowy area. At the same time, the warming of the small ice river after the small ice river also rapidly expanded the planting area of barley in the snowy area and raised more foreign people. Only then did the foreign people have the power to invade the Tang Dynasty. Until the small ice river attacked again, the snowy area cooled down significantly and a large number of barley died, which made the foreign people weak and unable to explore the outside world.
Now, Feiqian can control the grain reserves in the snow area through commercial means, which is equivalent to suppressing the disorderly growth of the people in the snow area. Control the grain output of a region, such as controlling seeds, fertilizers, etc., to control a region or even a country. Midi is very skilled in this area, and Feiqian can naturally learn from it.
Agriculture is no longer the main industry here, animal husbandry and industry are the focus of Xiliang skeleton, and then adding business to enrich its body and make it healthy.
At this point, the entire Xiliang industrial chain has been initially established. Once this new form of production and life model can take root in Xiliang and develop well, it will be an immeasurable driving force for the ideological transformation of the entire Han Dynasty and even the future dynasty...
...
...
Cao Zhen obviously also wanted to make an immeasurable push to the Han Han, or the Han Han controlled by Cao Cao.
But the closer we were to Beiqu, the more doubts Cao Zhen had in his heart.
It’s not that I took the wrong path or encountered some danger, but that Cao Zhen found the guide who led the way, and there seemed to be some problems...
The old guide doesn't seem to like money.
This made Cao Zhen very uncomfortable.
Generally speaking, Cao Zhen is an admirer of money and violence.
Money is not omnipotent, so when money is useless, Cao Zhen will use violence. This habit, or the development of this three-view is caused by Cao Zhen's family environment.
Cao Zhen is Cao Hong's eldest son and a legitimate senior official. Logically speaking, Cao Zhen should have received a better education, but he did not. The reason is that Cao Hong's background is not good, so neither Cao Hong nor him have obtained the foundation of a big family.
Cao Hong's father is a child from a sideline, and Cao Hong is an illegitimate son, so he cannot even keep his mother's name.
If it weren't for Cao Cao's horn of war for the entire clan, Cao Hong would have no chance of promotion at all. Perhaps he would have been a manager in a certain manor and lived his life in obscurity.
During this period of Cao Hong's rise, Cao Hong did not have much energy to improve his self-cultivation, so the family education that Cao Zhen could receive was definitely quite limited, and the formation of his three views was also closely related to Cao Hong's behavior.
Cao Hong likes money very much, and even reaches a level of obsession, which may be closely related to Cao Hong's extreme lack of money when he was a child. The obsession and desire for money formed by his illegitimate sons who came from wealthy families will inevitably greatly affect his adult life.
The same is true for Cao Zhen.
When he was a child, Cao Hong's family had no money.
If you are in an ordinary farmer family, there is no problem with lack of money. After all, most people in the Han Dynasty were relatively poor, with poor material resources, and there were very few production and living supplies. However, Cao Hong's Cao family was a big family.
There must be some prominent ones in the family, just like Cao Aman, who has too much money to spend, and he often has small goals. Then he looks at himself who is close to him, but he even needs to think about buying an extra piece of cake...
After all, there were no stalls that earned 9,000 a day in the Han Dynasty.
Cao Zhen's life circle was not big, and his family and military were his main places of activity. He also envied the children of the gentry, the literati character, etc., but he couldn't integrate into it. After all, he had never read any books, and he didn't understand them when the children of the gentry were concerned. Because of his extreme lack and desire for money in his childhood, coupled with the extreme violence he had learned after Cao Hong's army, Cao Zhen naturally formed a three-view that nothing could not be achieved by money and violence.
But it was during this Northern Qu operation that Cao Zhen met this guide old man. It was such a guide old man who showed Cao Zhen another attitude towards life.
The old guide is poor, whether it is based on his living habits or his clothes and food. Although Cao Zhen did not know how old the old guide was, his slightly hunched body and thick and calloused hands and feet were enough to prove some things.
According to Cao Zhen's understanding, it is best to control such people. Giving wine and meat and money can make such poor people cry, kneel down on the ground, and telling these people to roll around, so that they will never learn to be a rooster crowing...
But the old man's attitude towards meat and money was extremely indifferent, just like seeing stones and weeds.
It’s not that the old man doesn’t eat meat, but it looks no different from eating black cakes. He will neither be happy because he eats more meat, nor will he feel uncomfortable because he is mixed with soil and gravel.
At the same time, the old man also ignored Cao Zhen's authority and had almost no emotional fluctuations. Sometimes Cao Zhen felt that the old man led them, like a group of sheep, neither sad nor happy, nor anxious. Cao Zhen and others walked faster, and the old man also moved faster. When Cao Zhen and others couldn't walk, the old man would not urge him.
This made Cao Zhen feel very awkward.
On the one hand, Cao Zhen needed such a guide, and on the other hand, Cao Zhen was also a little guilty because he could not control this guide with money and violence.
If Cao Zhen was in ordinary times, he would not have any interest in such a person, nor would he have the intention to observe. After all, he did not plan for each other. Although Cao Zhen could not talk about any plan, he would not have much interaction with people like the guide, but now he has to stay together for a long time...
The feeling of being unable to control everything made Cao Zhen anxious and irritable.
The old guide seemed to have noticed Cao Zhen’s thoughts and told Cao Zhen very simply and bluntly that if Cao Zhen doesn’t believe him, he can kill him directly and then return according to the same path. When the old guide said this, he was not a person who was so harsh and cowardly pretended, but was really fearless of life and death.
The old guide was not afraid of the force of Cao Zhen and others because he was strong. The old man was thin and any of Cao Zhen's subordinates could easily kill the old man. Moreover, the old man's carry-on weapon was just a small knife. Most people in the north had this kind of knife, which was used to cut some vine ropes and to cut and insert food inside on weekdays.
What is the purpose of the old guide? What do you ask for?
When Cao Zhen couldn't help but ask the old guide, he got an answer that Cao Zhen couldn't convince.
Loyalty and righteousness.
Of course, the old man’s original words were not these two words, but rather, that because he received the kindness of Fan Xian’s father, he was just repaying his kindness as a guide...
This...isn't this a fool?
Cao Zhen looked at the old man, as if he was looking at a fool, and then he seemed to see the same look in the old man's eyes.
In this world, there are really people who do not seek money or make a living or death for loyalty and righteousness?
With confusion, Cao Zhen arrived near Beiqu.
The old guide seemed to have completed the final task. He pointed to a row of chimneys with black smoke in the distance, "This is the Beiqu Workshop Camp."
That night, Fan Xian received a signal, and rushed to meet Cao Zhen.
Cao Zhen felt the feeling of control he had lost before in Fan Xian again, and came back.
But just as Cao Zhen and Fan Xian were discussing some specific matters, the soldiers came to report that the old guide had committed suicide.
The old guide used the knife to cut the skin and muscles of his neck, cut off his trachea and blood vessels, and died silently and silently.
The knife is actually very dull, and it is very difficult to cut and cooked meat.
Cao Zhen really couldn't imagine how firm will he have to cut open his neck with such a blunt knife without making any sound...
And the wizard has completed the task, shouldn't it be paid, or...
Cao Zhen could understand that he was killed and silenced.
Did you commit suicide inexplicably?
Why?
Cao Zhen frowned.
"Old stubborn, he doesn't want to leave here..." Fan Xian sighed, "Just bury him here."
"His name?" Cao Zhen asked.
Fan Xian shook his head, "No name. He is stubborn, and everyone calls him Lao stubborn."
