The current Yunzhong County cannot take care of sales at the same time, and there is no need to take care of it at the same time.
Mengliang’s role is to open up sales channels and set up sales points rather than taking care of sales.
Otherwise, today is Yanmen County, tomorrow is Taiyuan County, and the day after tomorrow is Handan County... There are more and more sales points, how many clones does Mengliang need to take care of them?
Shen Bing has two options for this:
One is to send people directly from Yunzhong County to set up retail outlets.
The second is to find people locally to set up retail outlets.
Although the former can swallow all the profits, it is obviously unrealistic.
Because it involves humanities, location, relationships, management and other aspects.
The Central Plains is so big that even the characters, coins, and even languages are not unified at this time. From Yunzhong County sending people to operate in unfamiliar places, there are many uncertain factors that will increase the operating costs in a series.
On the contrary, the latter is simple and easy to do.
Yunzhong County does not need to consider anything, it only needs to consider production and transportation, and the rest can be left to local businessmen to operate.
If there is any loss, it will be a small portion of the profit.
But this profit is not worth mentioning compared with the expenses and risks incurred by setting up sales points by oneself.
Shen Bing can even mobilize competition in the local market.
For example, in Yanmen County, the cloth was not distributed to Chen Yong's family, but to several families at the same time.
Therefore, Chen Yong could not arbitrarily raise the price of cloth to disrupt the market.
In addition to opening up sales, Meng Liang's task is to find talents...
As mentioned before, in ancient times, the status of workers was not high and their lives were unstable. Moreover, because there were more people and less land, a large number of workers were wandering in society.
This is a good thing for Yunzhong County, because Yunzhong County needs people, especially a large number of skilled workers.
Farmers cannot dig, mainly because they are tied to the land and unable to leave.
Workers have no such worries. If there is anything that keeps them away, it is that they have family members to take care of.
However, the salary given by Shen Bing was only twenty yuan a day, which could easily support a family of ten, so it was not a problem for the family to move to Yunzhong County.
So what are you still hesitating about?
Workers were valued in Yunzhong County and had a high social status. Their jobs were even more stable than those of farmers. More importantly, they could make money to support their families... so I didn't think much about it and of course moved to Yunzhong County.
This is almost like recruiting workers from various places.
Local officials pay more attention to farmers than workers, and even recruit workers and take away a group of idle people who have no jobs in the society to reduce safety risks and make it easier to manage, so they do not object.
Therefore, while cloth continued to be sold to various counties, the population was also flowing to Yunzhong County, and most of them were workers urgently needed by Yunzhong County.
These workers can be easily assigned, and each can use their skills to their advantage.
Workers who build houses go to the construction, and those who make iron tools go to the iron workshops. There are also people who smelt iron and copper, people who make swords, wood craftsmen, and masons, etc.
In Shen Bing's eyes, these people are all qualified talents. Shen Bing doesn't understand why they are despised in the "low social status" class.
At this time, Yunzhong County is full of waste and is waiting for development. In the future, it will expand its territory and further industrialize... These workers with various skills are the mainstay.
In this way for more than a month, Yunzhong County gathered a total of more than 50,000 people.
Fifty thousand people is not that many. For example, Yanmen County has a population of more than 70,000 households and 290,000 people...an average of four people per household.
In the Qin Dynasty, adults were forced to separate their families for tax purposes, so each household did not have too many people.
The population of 50,000 in Yunzhong County is just the beginning, especially many of them are still in the status of "individual households"... The so-called "individual households" refer to people who are in Yunzhong County, but just for living, and their household registration is still in place.
, serving remote military service, etc. must return to their place of origin.
Most of the workers and homeless people who come here to work are "individual households".
This is one of the reasons why there was little population movement in ancient times.
Only about 20,000 people who escaped from Dai County can actually be counted as registered residents of Yunzhong County.
This number seems a bit shabby.
But this situation soon changed...
The food in various parts of the Central Plains has matured, and Meng Wu immediately set off towards the Yan Kingdom with an army of 200,000 sharpening his swords.
The reason why it is the State of Yan and not the State of Dai is because the State of Yan is the focus of the north.
As we all know, the State of Dai relied on the State of Yan for its existence. If the State of Yan was destroyed, the State of Dai might surrender without a fight.
On the contrary, destroying the Dai country may not have this effect.
So of course the troops were directed towards the State of Yan.
On the other hand, because the Yan State was defeated by the Qin State before and was forced by Qin to "borrow food" from the people again and again, the King of Yan was already very angry and complained that no one was willing to fight for him...attacking the Yan State
The timing is right.
As for what Ying Zheng said before, "Don't attack Yan if you provide food"... that's just a trick to deceive children. Only King Xi of Yan would believe it.
Shen Bing didn't know about the battle between Qin and Yan. He only knew that Meng Tian went into battle.
At this time, Meng Tian was thirty years old. Before that, because of his merits in defeating the Qi Dynasty, he became the internal history... the highest political officer in the capital.
Perhaps because Wang Jian was fighting abroad, Meng Tian had always been an official in Xianyang.
It was not until this time that Ying Zheng sent Meng Tian to the battle formation to accompany his father Meng Wu on the expedition.
Now you don't have to think about it...the two are not the same weight at all.
The Yan State was in a stage where its vitality had not yet recovered from its severe injuries, but the Qin army was at its peak, and with Meng Tian commanding it, this battle could be said to have no suspense.
Things turned out exactly as Shen Bing expected.
Meng Tian immediately sent troops to attack Yan, which cut off the connection between the two places. On the other hand, Meng Wu surrounded King Xi of Yan in the capital and only besieged but not attacked.
Only then did King Yan realize how stupid it was to "borrow grain" to Qin again and again. Wouldn't this be cutting off his own way of survival?
The Yan army who was surrounded in the city could only stare at the empty granaries in a daze. Although the grain was ripe, it was all harvested by the Qin army outside the city...
Going out of town to grab food?
Unless the Qin army stationed outside the city is defeated.
Stay in the city?
The only ending is starvation.
Therefore, Yan Wangxi had only one choice, and that was to surrender.
If Yan had this outcome, then Dai would naturally not be able to escape the fate of surrender, unless King Zhao was willing to flee to the north to the Huns' territory.
This situation is already very clear, even people who are not interested in political affairs understand it very well.
So the people of Dai State fled in all directions.
To be precise, they are not "escaping in all directions". Most of their escape directions are towards Yunzhong County...
Yunzhong County is the hometown of the people of Daiguo, and it has long been publicized that it is willing to take them in and treat them well.
What's more important is that some people have long since fled to Yunzhong County and news has come back that they are indeed being treated favorably there.
It is true that information was closed in ancient times, but it was a matter of life and death for people, so they would do anything to find out the information.
As a result, the number of people in Yunzhong County, who were originally from the country, increased rapidly during this period. It didn't take long for the population to grow to one hundred thousand and is still increasing.
