Chapter 1087 Shangtun
On March 26, Yu Bin left Luoyang with more than ten guests and headed south to Jingzhou.
After leaving the Pyeongchang Gate, vehicles gathered one after another.
Yu Bin sent his guests to negotiate with them, but he didn't show up, just rode a yellow horse and watched as he walked.
The war has been very expensive. The emperor once planned to build Luocheng outside the inner city of Luoyang, that is, to form a three-story city wall system of outer city, inner city and palace city. Now it seems that the progress is slow due to insufficient cost.
But this is all a trivial matter. In the future, the world will be unified, and there will be time to cultivate it.
While walking, Yu Bin was also observing the people brought by the merchants, and there were really a lot of them!
The smaller merchants brought dozens of families, while the older ones brought one or two hundred families. Whenever they asked, they were all slaves.
Another ask where the slaves come from, they look at you with clear eyes.
If you don’t talk about anything else, have you forgotten the days of storm for three consecutive years?
Forgot the storm, forget the epidemic? An epidemic can also cause a family to fall into an abyss of no return.
Is it difficult to collect some servants at this time? The children born to me are still slaves. As long as I can afford them, the number will increase. This is how local tyrants and tycoons come from. Now that they spend the fields everywhere, many people can't save these slaves and land, so they can only find another way out.
From this perspective, the people who asked for help may not be all businessmen, but in fact there are many little tyrants.
They are actually quite difficult, and they are even more sad.
Being servants and servants for generations, living with the master's family and obeying the master's orders is almost cost-effective. Even the newcomers who have been gathered in the year of a disaster actually accept such a set of order, and instinctively take it for granted.
But maybe they can't be blamed.
From the late Han Dynasty to the present, it is really not very peaceful. Even when the Three Kingdoms stabilized, there were still many thieves in the local area. The greater function of forts, earthen enclosures, and manors was not to guard against the court, but to guard against the bandits most of the time.
Many people laughed at the prosperous era of Taikang, but that ten years were really the most stable, with the fewest bandits and the fastest development since the end of the Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, with the ten thousand years of chaos in Guanzhong Qi, everything was gone and the world changed again.
Can they blame them? No.
As a slave to the owner of the manor, he can still survive, even a wife, and pass on the family line.
To truly break this vicious circle, we can only produce a talented and powerful person, unify the world and lay the foundation for order again.
With a truly stable order, people will find that self-cultivated farmers are better than being farmers, otherwise it will be the other way around.
When thinking of this, Yu Bin also felt a little self-deprecating. He was really nervous. He was also a gentry and was developing into a top wealthy family. What do you think of this? So I can see the scenery with peace of mind.
On the 28th, their huge team stopped at Yiquekou.
They met another group of miscellaneous Hu soldiers and horses, with about 3,000 people.
The Hu people look mixed.
Those who did not take their horses to fight were rewarded and survived, smiling happily.
The people who brought the horse to the battle and also brought the horse back were also very happy, but if the horse died, they would not be so happy.
In addition, there are people whose relatives and friends die, and they remain silent, as if they contain displeasure.
All it is very complicated, but this is war.
Some Hu people even targeted the rich servants who were resting on the roadside. However, these servants had weapons in their hands and were not defeated at once, so they had been on guard against them.
Yique is also the residence of a military palace of the Right Cavalry Guard. They dispatched thousands of cavalrymen, with spears and spears per capita, and stared at these miscellaneous Hus in a careful manner to prevent them from causing trouble.
In the end, there was no danger.
Zahu is ignorant, the leader is sensible. How many heads do you have enough to cut off your heads, and you actually dare to make trouble near Luoyang?
Yu Bin looked at Zahu's back as he was gone and sighed, "Where is Zahu? If you can't do it well, you will cause trouble after you go back."
"It should be a part of the Xiongnu in Beidi County." A guest replied. "Thinking, it turns out that it is not a miscellaneous Hu, but a righteous Hu." Yu Bin said with a smile.
The guest also smiled and said, "There were originally many Huns in the north, but later they were divided into a group by Jin Jun's brothers and went to the west. There were only three or five thousand entries left. Kim Jong also always ordered them, and this time he went south again. I don't think there were many people. If a rebellion was launched, the ending might be terrible. Kim Jong is not a kind person. There are many Hu people who have died at his hands over the years."
Yu Bin smiled without saying a word.
Kim Jong is cruel, but he doesn't think it's strange that such a cruel person has been firmly in charge of the throne of General Xi and has been in Chang'an for many years? That is the trust of the emperor, very trusting.
There were 10,000 soldiers in Yongzhou. In October last year, Qinzhou was allowed to set up 5,000 soldiers, totaling 15,000 infantry and cavalry, which were allocated to the fields, mainly distributed near Chang'an and Tianshui.
After the Tianshui rich and chiefs, the chiefs, were dissatisfied with the occupation of the fields, Kim Jong rushed over and killed them. Is it useful to sue him before the emperor? No use at all.
In the end, the governor Wen Qiao ran around with the toothache, calmed down and barely suppressed it.
Some people saw Kim Jong's "dominantness" in it, and Yu Bin only saw the "Holy Family".
Besides, Kim Jong is really good at fighting. Starting from the second half of last year, we mobilized troops to attack Yang Nan and defeated him again.
It is hard to defeat the request for surrender, Jin Zheng does not allow it, and Yao Yizhong does not allow it. The two of them tried their best to fuck him, but they were really disgusted by this guy.
This month, I heard that Jin and Yao gathered more than 30,000 troops to attack Yang Nandian. The chiefs of Qiu Chi Qiang all complained, saying that they wanted to kill Yang Nandian and surrender. Nandian and were desperate and were about to perish.
If this thief is eliminated, Kim Jong-sen's family will become more prosperous. *******
After resting in Yique for one night, this team of 6,000 people drove a large cart and a small cart, heading south again, passing Liangxian, Xiangcheng, and Nanyang, and arrived in Xiangyang in early April.
At that time, Shao Xun was about to lead the crowd to leave, and when he heard that Yu Bin had arrived, he met in Caizhou. "Dao Xie, if you hadn't gotten married very early, I would have wanted you to be Princess Shang." In the warm spring sun, Shao Xun joked: "Your strategy is very consistent with my wishes. This matter is correct. The 6,000 new people can go to Shangtun, Huarong and Jingling counties. How much grain and rice sold is needed? The court will buy it with cloth, how?" "They are afraid they can't get it." Yu Bin replied.
The matter of settlement has been happening since ancient times.
The immigrants to the border are called Mintun, and the soldiers farming are called Juntun. However, the word Shangtun was the first time I heard it. Yu Bin thought it was very fresh and appropriate.
Shao Xun looked at the people who made fires and cooked on the other side of Caizhou Island and asked, "Is the food I carry enough to eat?" "The autumn harvest should not last. Moreover, it was a bit late. We also had to clean up the fields and open up saplings. This year we can only plant some miscellaneous grains, and most of them had to buy grains." Yu Bin said. "This is not easy to buy." Shao Xun shook his head and said, "Well. I always have to give some benefits to the first batch of commercial households. Tong Qianjin!" "The last one is here." Tong Qianjin replied loudly.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
"How much grain does Caizhou have?" "There are more than 39,000 hu of it." "Carry it to Yangkou and give it to the people of Shangtun." "Affect the order." Tong Qianjin immediately went to pass the order.
Shao Xun looked at Yu Bin and said, "Dao Xie, you must explain it to them clearly. These more than 39,000 hu of millet can be sent to you, but one of them is that if a thief arrives at Yangkou or Huarong, you can avoid entering the city block, but you cannot run away. If you can stand until the reinforcements arrive, I will give you another reward."
Yu Bin nodded with a serious expression.
This grain is not easy to get. However, you have come to do business, so you should have predicted this risk, right? "The book "Feng Tu Disease" is very important, so please let the masters of the village come and copy one." Shao Xun said again: "If you continue to do the method taught in the book, it may not be possible to die, but many people will definitely die." "I obey the order." Yu Bin responded.
Shao Xun walked around with his hands behind his back, as if very happy, and was happy to see the prosperity of Shangtun.
He had planned to fool a group of businessmen to build a manor, but now it seems that Shangtun is better.
Business is business, and it is much better to bear the profits and losses than to force others to develop wasteland.
Of course, judging by the people brought by Yu Bin, the rich people probably didn't want to make any money in grain trading, right?
It would be great if you could support yourself in three years by opening up a land area. In other words, only after three years can there be surplus grains to be sold and money can be started. This has not yet been considered the loss of the dead in the middle - there will definitely be people who die in the open space, it is nothing more than a little.
These merchants must persist in Jiangxia and Nanjun for at least seven or eight years before they can make a profit.
The risk of this transaction is quite considerable. If there are no supporting measures such as returning land and evaluating family members, no one is willing to come.
In addition, the general background of the northern Dutian cannot be ignored.
Precisely because of the need to settle the land, these rich people with no background cannot save the land and population they obtained while taking advantage of the chaos, so they thought about coming to take advantage of it.
Without the strong squeeze from the other end of the north, there will be no such adventurous people going south, everything will complement each other.
Shao Xun hopes that more people will join Shangtun Daye.
He is willing to pay the consideration, not only to buy grain at three times the market price, but also to pay for land, official positions and the possibility of the family of the treasury family becoming an official in the future.
These are not "money", but in the eyes of the host, this is probably the real "money".
"Caizhouyuan, please watch the operation." Shao Xun pointed to Caizhou Island and said, "Cai's mansion is cleaned regularly. You can choose some of the houses to be converted into yamen offices, granaries, and arsenals."
"Yes."
"Don't drink raw water. Try to fill the stagnant pond as much as possible." Shao Xun patted Yu Bin's shoulder and said, "I have lived on the island for a while. The wind on the river is not small, and it may not be so humid in summer. You--take good care of yourself. If there is a big or small, how can I explain it to your aunt?"
Yu Bin felt a little excited when he heard this. This is the feeling of being regarded as his own person, and he enjoys it very much.
Cai Zhouyuan will be good at managing business, and he will take the initiative to pay attention to Shangtun and find ways to use the power of the Yu family to provide certain convenience and help to the hosts.
The uncle's great cause cannot go wrong.
Shao Xun didn't pay attention to what the young man was thinking. He only saw Tong Qianjin walking quickly and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the fight between Badong has started."
He nodded and signaled that he knew.
Li Cheng has a big appetite and the timing of the choice is very appropriate. Li Xiong has some skills. "Transfer to Weixing County to select elite soldiers and wait for an opportunity to harass Chengguo." Shao Xun ordered.
