Qingyang Shuo raised his eyelids and was stunned for a while, then burst into laughter.
At this time, he really laughed freely! The last barrier between him and Mr. Liu was completely gone. Qingyang Shuo himself is a "remnant" of the Qingyang clan, and the people of the world are afraid that he will be punished if he finds it.
, if the royal family knew about Liu Zheng's secret possession of Qingyang Shuo, then Yinyang would probably be trampled to the ground by the royal cavalry.
But things are different now...
This Mr. Liu actually makes salt secretly!
If the imperial court finds out about this, I'm afraid it will be a matter of execution for the Nine Tribes!
As a result, Qingyang Shuo felt much more relaxed, and the two of them were truly like grasshoppers on the same rope.
He looked at the Silver Beach City lightly and said with a smile: "I see, since the young master has such craftsmanship, then Shuo is even more sure."
Liu Zheng pushed him into Yintan City and looked at the process one by one. Hu Xier next to him was also amazed and cheered. He was not as disgusted with Liu Zheng as he was at first. After Qingyang Shuo saw it, he was also
I was amazed at Liu Zheng's talent, and my confidence in Liu Zheng was greatly increased.
"only......"
Liu Zheng said distressedly: "Sir, the population of Yinyang has always been insufficient. Although the government has encouraged childbirth and provided subsidies, it was a century-old plan. Now..."
To build this Silver Beach City, a conservative estimate would require 100,000 laborers...
One hundred thousand!
At present, the two prefectures of Yinyang only have a total population of 800,000. But almost everyone has their own division of labor. How can it be so easy to find 100,000 people to come to Yintan City? Therefore, the biggest difficulty facing Yinyang now
, has turned from having no money to insufficient population. However, in this era, population is actually the most important production tool. Liu Zheng is not yet powerful enough to truly realize automated production in Yintan City - in that case, he will probably have to
It's up to heaven.
Qingyang Shuo chuckled and said: "Even if there are people in Yin Yang, they can't be used in Yintan City."
Liu Zheng was stunned: "Sir, why is this?"
However, as soon as this question came up, he suddenly realized it and his face changed slightly.
Yes, the salt-making factory in Yintan City was more criminal in the Longyang Dynasty than the drug-making factory in later generations. Of course Liu Zheng was not afraid, but what about the common people? Although they might come to Yintan City for money.
Work, but...with 100,000 people, how can Liu Zheng ensure that they all have the same ideas?
If someone revealed the rumors in Yintan City, wouldn't Liu Zheng's game be over?
"There are Kunlun slaves in the Western Regions. What do you think, Master?"
Qingyang Shuo smiled lightly.
Liu Zheng was overjoyed: "Congratulations, sir!"
Kunlun slaves are not actually from the Kunlun Mountains... The word "Kunlun" generally refers to black people in ancient times. Here, it refers to South-Western slaves in general, most of whom are black people from Southeast Asia, that is, Nige
Lituo people. There are also a small number of black people who came to China with the Arabs. The Kunlun slaves Qing Yangshuo mentioned are these black people. These Kunlun slaves are as strong as cattle, have a gentle temperament, are down-to-earth and upright, and can endure hardships and endure hardships.
So many nobles are rushing to get it.
Due to religious beliefs, the Western Regions have been doing business with the Arabs for a long time.
Therefore, this Kunlun slave was a relatively active commodity in the Western Regions. But when it was passed down to the Longyan Dynasty, only the nobles could afford it.
Liu Zheng also thought about finding those slave traders before, but the price was too high...
If he wants 100,000 laborers, he won't be able to get it without a million taels of silver! Nowadays, Yinzhou is still in a state where hundreds of industries are waiting to be prospered. Money is needed everywhere, so if he can spend a million taels of silver at once,
How could Liu Zheng be willing to give up?
But with Qing Yangshuo's suggestion, his mind started to come alive.
I am definitely reluctant to part with the money, but what about the goods?
"I'll go to the Western Regions right away!"
Liu Zheng said excitedly.
But Qingyang Shuo slowly shook his head: "Shuo has two plans, which need to be considered by the young master."
