But he said that Jia Huan accompanied his daughter-in-law back to her parents' home and wandered around the country of Lu for a few days. Nothing was bad except that it was indescribably crowded. On the street, it was obvious that locals and foreigners were coming, and some brought their families with them.
There are many more beggars sleeping on the roadside than elsewhere. This situation has also happened in Ping'an Prefecture. Jia Cong said that a prosperous place attracts people, just like a deep pool to store water. So he set up many resettlement places in Ping'an Prefecture.
Yes, some good-looking officials persuaded those who came to Ping'an Prefecture empty-handed to go to Japan. Now the resettlement sites are trying to persuade them to go to Nanyang.
Lu State is much smaller than Ping'an Prefecture, and when the population increases, there will be more troubles. Robbery, fights, and children's excrement are everywhere. Even if you look up at the street, there are children's excrement - many children who are used to relaxing in the fields simply cannot
They don’t know where to go to the latrine. Not to mention that there are too many monks and too little food, so many people can’t find a job.
Jia Huan then said to King Lu: "Brother-in-law, it's time for your country to expand. The place is too small to accommodate such a large number of people."
The king of Lu smiled bitterly and said: "Brother-in-law, how dare I use weapons? King Wu and King Chu are all staring at me."
Jia Huan said: "Who asked you to expand into their territory?" Na winked and said, "The King of Yan is about to send troops to North America. That area is huge."
King Lu said: "What does King Yan have to do with me when he sends troops?"
Jia Huan said: "The advantage of a large place is that it is inconvenient to communicate. Throwing your ideas and soldiers into it is like mud and cattle into the sea. Just send people over and find a piece of land far away from the jurisdiction of King Yan to relocate the people."
King Lu thought about it for a long time, then hesitantly said: "Is Uncle Ninth willing?"
Jia Huan said: "There are two ways. One is to send an envoy to meet the King of Yan, just saying that he is willing to join forces with him, and there will be some small benefits for following him. This has the intention of promoting him as the leader of the alliance of the kings, and the King of Yan loves face.
There are many scholars there, and most of them can persuade him to agree. The second is to have people follow his army to explore the road and find a place he can't care about to immigrate. In this way, he will have to build his own port." Jia Huan thought for a while.
, "The Westerners have already built many ports there. It would be the same to destroy them and take them over. It's just that the immigrant ships have to take some detours."
King Lu turned around and pulled out a map of the sea, looked at North America for a long time, and sighed: "It's so big."
Jia Huan said: "The Westerners also joined forces with other countries. It took them 150 years to wipe out the indigenous people and occupy this place. Now our government only needs to follow the same method. They have built many houses and roads, opened
We have lost a lot of wasteland, and it is cheap for us to immigrate. It just depends on how the generals fare in the war."
The king of Lu thought: "It's just that the people may not be willing to go. They left their hometowns and came to Luzhou because it was rich. If they were sent to open up wasteland, it would be extremely difficult to send them back to their hometown after making money. The new place they arrived would probably not be as good as their hometown.
Woolen cloth."
Jia Huan smiled and said: "This is easy. Not to mention the land that can be reclaimed; there are many large gold mines in North America. Who wouldn't go where you can find money?"
King Lu said: "You can't find money anywhere."
Jia Huan said leisurely: "It's free to send it there, but you need a boat ticket to come back, and the boat ticket is expensive."
King Lu's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Brother-in-law! You still have a way."
Jia Huan said: "Moreover, there are many slaves in the villages of wealthy families, and their lives are in the hands of their masters." He tilted his head slightly, "It is better to do things for their masters than to do things for themselves, by the way.
Help the country of Lu to open up fields and defend its borders. The people who escape to freedom will fight for their freedom." King Lu couldn't help but raise his eyes and stared at him. Jia Huan said slowly, "The people's hearts have also grown."
King Lu said: "What if other countries come to cause trouble for me?"
Jia Huan said: "Your Majesty, there are two big countries nearby - Wu State and Chu State. Wu State has prepared its troops to send troops here." He pointed to South America on the sea map, "It is such a big place, but it is also the least populated.
"The King of Wu can usually use these tricks, so he will never touch the State of Lu. As for the State of Chu," Jia Huan turned to look at his brother-in-law, "Are you still afraid that you can't defeat him?"
King Lu said: "What if he seeks other countries to join forces to suppress Lu?"
Jia Huan said: "The most powerful countries in the world, including Wu, Yan and Shu, are all preparing for foreign colonial expansion. They will have to use these methods sooner or later. Who are the other countries?"
King Lu lowered his head to look at the sea chart again and began to think deeply. Jia Huan leaned back on his chair, held up a cup of tea and prepared to wait slowly. After a while, King Lu said: "Okay! I am really alone.
There is a way to do this. We just need to send someone over to investigate."
Jia Huanfu said: "Young people are still happy." He thought for a while and said, "At the end of the new year, King Yan will have troops to march over. Zhong Heng's uncle Zhong Wei has not served in Lu State, and it is a battlefield.
Veteran, please ask him to pretend to join the King of Yan and follow the Yan army. He can explore the way for the Lu Kingdom and select a suitable place to immigrate to."
The King of Lu immediately withered: "Don't mention it! The old man has always helped Zhong Heng with military matters. He also likes me very much. He is my anonymous gentleman. He just refuses to become an official."
Jia Huan said with a smile: "He has experienced ups and downs; now that he has a nephew, naturally he comes first in everything. The old man doesn't use his salary to help the country of Lu, isn't it because he wants to take the credit for his nephew? But for his nephew
My son is good, and I will not refuse the prince's request. Now Zhong Heng is your confidant, isn't he?" King Lu nodded repeatedly. Jia Huan said, "The big things in Lu country must also be Zhong Heng's big things. For Zhong Heng to have a good life
The old man will definitely be willing to take action when it comes to his future. The country of Lu is small, and it is obviously not feasible to expand to the Kingdom of Wu and the Kingdom of Chu. Will Zhong Heng's official position stop here?"
The King of Lu immediately slapped the case: "What my brother-in-law said makes sense! My land is so big that Zhong Heng's high-ranking official and generous salary are indispensable."
Jia Huan said: "That's all! I haven't even written out the horoscope yet, so I'm just bragging and even giving high-ranking officials generous salaries. It's more important to seriously consider the terrain and sea maps."
The King of Lu laughed heartily and touched his chest: "Brother-in-law is here, my life will be easier. You can stay here longer."
Jia Huan said: "Anyway, we are not in a hurry to return to Beijing. Your sister has the final say."
King Lu ran out with a cry of "Aowu": "I'm going to talk to my sister -"
Jia Huan couldn't help but smile and nodded: "You can be considered a bit like a thirteen-year-old child."
The next day, Jia Huan personally went to the Yuezhi Tea House owned by the Zhong family and asked to see Zhong Wei. After hearing his intention, Zhong Wei frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I owe King Yan a favor, and I know I will pay it back sooner or later.
Are you here just to establish a settlement outside for Lu country? Does Third Master Cong have other intentions?"
Jia Huan said with a smile: "Whether it's North or South America, the more immigrants there are, the better. Uncle Zhong, look - it's far! It's too far. It's too easy to cut off information."
"Could it be that Third Master Cong wants this place?"
"It's not a desire, it's a decision." Jia Huan said, "From the Malay Archipelago in the Southeast Asia to North America and even South America, the entire social system must be completely new. The people of our court are no longer allowed to be slaves, and the Heavenly Family will no longer be
Master. This is the most important step. Whether you can counterattack the country in the future depends on this step. General Gan Lei has won the trust of the King of Yan, and he has been very interested in North America a few years ago. The King of Yan has designated him as
Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Campaign."
Zhong Wei was overjoyed and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Isn't this a gift of Pantaoyuan to Monkey Sun to take care of?"
Jia Huan glanced at him: "How can General Gan be so thin?" The two looked at each other and smiled. Jia Huan continued, "The first batch of people under his command have passed, Wei Ruolan, Niu Jicheng, and Niu Jiye have already decided
, he will choose a few more of his own. Wei Ruolan has grown up with our brothers since he was a child, so he is very good at encouraging him; Niu Jicheng, we have already found a way to coax him; only Niu Jiye is left and needs to put in more effort.
Uncle Zhong, General Gan said, someone mentioned my senior brother Jarvis, and it is impossible for the King of Yan to include him. If this is true, and there are pirates of General Yang Heng at sea, it will prevent the King of Yan from recruiting troops to the north.
It is no longer difficult to get news from Yan State."
Zhong Wei nodded and suddenly said with a smile: "This time I'm serious about hiding something from the truth." The two of them looked at each other and smiled again.
The two talked from noon until the sun set in the west, and they almost broke through a chart. Jia Huan went back and told King Lu, and finally persuaded the old man to come out of the mountain to explore the way for King Lu. But he couldn't jump to King Yan for nothing.
When he went there, Jia Huan wrote a letter of recommendation to his cousin Jia Cong, saying that he happened to meet a teahouse owner in Lu State who was a great military talent, and asked someone to send him to the capital.
It's just that immigrating to North America is a long-term plan, and Luzhou is now overcrowded. Jia Huan then said: "Otherwise, we should first persuade some people to go to Nanyang. There are two or three newly established countries there by our dynasty, and they are desolate."
Ever since the King of Lu had the idea of immigrating and founding his country, he was somewhat reluctant to leave the population: "Can't we just stay for a few years?"
Jia Huan said: "I'm afraid that the population density will be too high. Anyway, the Lu State is prosperous and prosperous, so I'm not afraid that there will be no one there. Even though the Wu State is prosperous, the Chu State has gradually declined over the years."
King Lu hurriedly said: "In the past few days, Mr. Wang has asked me to make an issue based on the decline of Chu State. I see that there is nothing wrong with Chu State's policies. I don't know how they fell."
Jia Huan smiled and said: "Isn't this obvious? The nearby countries of Wu, Yan, and Lu have become stronger, and even the small country of Lu has become stronger, and good talents naturally flow into neighboring countries. The common people at the bottom are found in all countries, and they do the most inferior things.
They have to do a lot of work and get the minimum rations, but this kind of people are the most numerous and are indispensable in every country."
King Lu asked: "Who is he?"
"Sharecropper."
The king of Lu said "Oh": "The neighboring country is richer than the Chu country. Even if the tenant farmers have no land themselves, many of them go to neighboring countries to make a living."
Jia Huan nodded and said: "For example, Lu State has prosperous commerce and has many shops. Tenant farmers from Chu State come to Lu State's shops to do menial work and earn more money in a few months than in a year of farming in Chu State. Naturally, they will not stay here anymore."
Farming in Chu State. Whenever there is such a person in a family in the village, many other families will follow; if something happens in one village, people from neighboring villages will come out to try it after hearing about it. In this way, Chu State
No one will farm anymore.”
King Lu thought for a while and said: "The year before last, my husband and I sneaked away to the Chu State for a tour. Some of the land in the Chu State was in the hands of wealthy families, and they had their own slaves to cultivate it, but in recent years, many of them escaped to Japan.
Then there are the richer families who rent their land to tenant farmers to earn rent; without the tenants, they wouldn’t be able to cultivate the land. And then there are those who plant it themselves.”
Jia Huan said: "These things happened in Fujian in the early years. The tenants were the first to leave, then the runaway slaves, and finally the self-cultivated farmers would leave if they thought they had less land. But it didn't matter. The tenants left a lot, and the boss's
The rent will naturally decrease. There will be more escaped slaves, and the master will naturally treat them better. Gradually, a balance will be achieved. But in the end, the symptoms will be treated but not the root cause. Managing a country is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Look at the country of Qi and see what you can do.
After the state of Lu was rich in factories, he also started to build factories. The state of Qi will always die after the state of Chu."
The king of Lu was hearing this interestingly and asked hurriedly: "Will Qi also die?"
Jia Huan said: "If you and King Yan don't attack North America, King Wu won't die if he doesn't attack South America. If the three of you take action, Qi will not survive if it doesn't also attack overseas territories or colonies."
"Why?"
"The number of tenant farmers and ordinary farmers is the largest, and the land in North and South America is huge. Once the land reclamation order is issued, Qi Chu's tenant farmers are afraid that they will run away - who doesn't want the free land? Who doesn't want more land from a small family?
The foundation of the two countries was gone." Jia Huan said leisurely, "Chu was poor and poorly equipped, and Qi was not rich enough. It was conquered with just a few casualties. Letting the people immigrate overseas was actually a matter of land.
Use it as bait to hollow out the foundations of these countries."
"That's it!" King Lu nodded his head. He frowned for a while and said, "I still can't bear to part with these people."
Jia Huan said: "It's hot in Nanyang and not many people can leave. This will temporarily relieve an urgent need. Besides, it's also good to let the people know about immigrating overseas first. And..." He winked, "North America
The land is much more fertile than Nanyang."
King Lu said: "North America is further away!"
Jia Huan smiled and said, "That's it. Fan Cheng has a student who opened a new bun shop today. Let's put on casual clothes and go take a look."
The king of Lu asked curiously: "What are you going to do?"
"Help sell steamed buns."
"ah?"
The King of Lu was puzzled, but he changed his clothes obediently and followed Jia Huan out. Not long after, he walked to Fan Cheng's disciple's bun shop. Because it was newly opened, the business was not bad. The two of them pretended to be ordinary customers and bought a few buns.
Taste it and it tastes good. The student recognized Jia Huan and came out to talk to him. Jia Huan took him and whispered something; the student looked at Jia Huan with wide eyes. Jia Huan smiled and said: "Just follow what I say.
Just do it.”
The student then went to the kitchen and worked for a long time. A waiter hung out a new sign. It read: Big meat buns cost ten cents each; large vegetable buns cost ten cents each.
King Lu asked curiously: "Why do meat buns and vegetable buns cost the same?"
Jia Huansi tore into the buns politely and said, "It doesn't matter, they don't sell a few vegetable buns anyway, they just make them for show."
King Lu pointed out: "Didn't that come out with a sign?"
Jia Huan asked back: "Who doesn't know that meat is more expensive than vegetables? Since the price is the same, who would buy vegetable buns?" King Lu was stunned.
The two ate a few steamed buns and then went back. Before leaving, Jia Cong asked the student to come to Prince Lu's Mansion in the evening to talk about how the steamed buns were selling.
In the evening, the student came over happily and said, "Mr. Jia has a great idea! We can't sell any other buns, so everyone is rushing to buy the big meat buns!"
Jia Huan smiled and asked King Lu: "How?"
King Lu also laughed and said: "The guests all think it is cheaper to buy big meat buns, so they all buy this."
Jia Huan nodded and said: "There will be better land and even gold mines in the coming year. When the tenants think about those who go to Nanyang to endure the heat, they will feel that they will take advantage of going to North America; just like these people who buy big meat buns. But, they must have
There are a few vegetable buns laid out for them to see."
The king of Lu applauded and laughed: "Brother-in-law really has many clever ideas." (. Just Love Network)
