After traveling back and forth on the sea for nearly half a year, Gan Ning's harvest was much less than expected. It was not that he was not good enough, but that the actual situation was somewhat unexpected.
"The entire so-called Three Koreas are basically a group of indigenous people. It is indeed not difficult to conquer them. But the problem is that there are only 170,000 to 80,000 women of working age, and they have all been brought back."
"How come there are so few!?" Wang Xuan frowned. The survey results showed that although the shortage of women is not as exaggerated as more than two million, more than 1.5 million is still needed to prevent polyandry.
That sucks.
"There is no way, the total population of the three Koreas is less than 600,000!" Gan Ning looked distressed, "That place is too backward. Although it is not slash-and-burn farming, it is about the same. It can't feed so many people at all. So, of the right age,
There’s really only so much a woman can do.”
Wang Xuan lightly touched the table with his fingers, and after a moment he replied with a cold face: "Then bring the little girl back, so that those bastards can go out less when they have nothing to do, and I will try my best to have children!"
"Wow, no, you still have this hobby, even children!" Zhang Fei muttered smoothly.
Wang Xuan's face turned dark at that moment. He picked up a piece of paperweight beside him and threw it at it. After all, he was already in the state of practicing Qi. The paperweight rubbed against the air and made a harsh sound before throwing it at Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei obviously knew that he said the wrong thing and did not dare to hide. Otherwise, Wang Xuan would definitely deduct his drinking quota and let the paperweight hit him with a 'bang' sound.
Alcohol is definitely prohibited in the military, but the law is nothing more than human relationships. Although corruption is bad, you can't stop officials from being corrupt. Wouldn't that be too inhumane...
Therefore, Zhang Fei has a certain quota.
"Bring the child back and raise it well. It is not good to leave it in Sanhan's place. It will easily become a big-ass face when it grows up." Wang Xuan was too lazy to pay attention to Zhang Fei and continued to speak.
"However, distant water cannot quench the near thirst, and time waits for no one. From Sanhan to the east, there is an island country, and there are many people there. Legend has it that Xu Fu, who went to the East China Sea to seek elixir, brought three thousand children with him.
As boys and girls branch out, it is time for these women to return to the embrace of their motherland.”
"Just like Sanhan, catch more and bring them back."
"But it is estimated that it will be difficult to meet our needs." Wang Xuan turned to Liu Bei and continued: "Xuan De Gong should write a letter to Gongsun Bogui. In addition to horses, cattle and wool in the grassland, we also need women.
We want everyone under the age of thirty, let those grassland barbarians capture and fight with other tribes, which will not only consume their own population, but also increase our foundation, killing two birds with one stone!"
After arranging these things, Wang Xuan took out a large handful of coins from his arms and threw them on the table. Under his hidden weapon technique, three coins appeared in front of everyone, "Look, this is our
Newly minted coins, copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins, are used to replace the copper coins issued by the Han Dynasty in the past."
Everyone took it and looked through it curiously, and were immediately surprised. The coin was hard in texture, with complex but clearly visible patterns on the surface. Lines as thick as a human hair outlined a picture, and Liu Bei's head was engraved on the back. It was exquisite!
In contrast, the copper coins circulating on the market are like rubbish, and this coinage method is only controlled by Liu Bei. It is extremely difficult for other princes to imitate it. Wang Xuan rushed to the street and everyone with some economic knowledge saw it.
Huge benefits.
"Oh, by the way, Gan Ning, the big islands next to Sanhan are rich in silver. Let the indigenous people mine it. Now they don't seem to have a country yet. Forget it, let's call them Japanese slaves!"
After leaving the "trivial matter" of currency issuance to Lu Su and others, there was no need to bother Wang Xuan, and the shopkeeper was so free.
"I have something to do here." Seeing that Wang Xuan was trying to leave in advance, Lu Su immediately called to Wang Xuan.
"What's the matter, so many of you can't solve it and you have to come to me?" Wang Xuan frowned, looking impatient, while Liu Bei just shook his head.
Liu Bei gave Wang Xuan great power, and it can be said that he had control over the military and political affairs, and Wang Xuan was indeed worthy of his trust. Qingzhou as a whole is prospering, and its foundation is extremely solid. The reason why it has not expanded yet is because it has been silent for three years.
It's just a way to become a blockbuster, not fly for three years, and then soar into the sky.
With such great power, anyone would wish to have more power in their hands, but Wang Xuan... he avoids these things like the god of plague all day long, and all affairs are done with a rough plan.
Leaving it to others, especially after acquiring the secret technique of Bu Zhi, I didn't even bother to make a plan, I just gave it a verbal explanation and that was it.
Liu Bei was both reassured and helpless.
"Recently, many Qingzhou aristocratic families have appeared."
"The Qingzhou Aristocratic Family has a Aristocratic Family so quickly? How come I didn't know which of you established it? It's so powerful!" Wang Xuan was stunned and asked curiously. Aristocratic families have their uses and he is not opposed to the existence of the Aristocratic Family.
"It's not us, it's the original aristocratic families in Qingzhou. Those aristocratic families who fled to other states and counties after the Yellow Turbans have returned." Lu Su smiled bitterly.
"Just go back. This is a good thing. A group of high-level intellectuals with spending power can effectively fill the gap between classes." Wang Xuan disagreed at all.
"It's so simple. They want to return to their previous land!" Lu Su finally said the source of the problem, "But we have divided these lands long ago, either to the people, or to use them as military camps.
Why return it to them!"
The honest man Lu Su was very troubled by this problem. These original Qingzhou aristocratic families were not blackmailing them randomly. They all had land deeds in their hands, and he also inquired about some of them. It turned out that they were indeed big local aristocratic families with great influence.
This made Lu Su very embarrassed. He took the land deed issued by the Han Dynasty and went to the Han clan clan of the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei, the shepherd of Qingzhou, wanted to return the land. He really didn't know how to deal with it.
deny?
That's impossible, a gentleman like him can't do such rogue things.
I had no choice but to find Wang Xuan for advice.
Wait, Wang Xuan realized the key point of the problem in a flash of his mind, co-author, do you think I am the kind of person who can play rogue!!
Lu Su, are you getting more and more arrogant, or am I unable to carry the knife!
Wang Xuan looked at Lu Su with an increasingly evil look.
Lu Su couldn't resist the pressure and couldn't help but glance at Tian Feng.
Hmm↑?
It turns out that you, a seemingly old-fashioned old guy, was causing trouble. Wang Xuan discovered the culprit at once. Tian Feng, the guy who loved to ruin his reputation!
