Chapter 603. Part-time jobs
With this rumbling iron dragon, Naturalization City will not be able to settle down even in winter!
All of a sudden, the Liaodong trade route that was cut off by the heavy snow was pulled back, and the first test was successful, and as a result, those Liaodong merchants who were raised by Wang Hou more and more refined immediately moved like a shark who saw blood, and brought the goods to the starting point of the Liucheng Ice Road to sign up.
Fortunately, Wang Hou engaged in research and development regardless of the cost, the replacement of the cylinder was assembled into a second locomotive, the front was installed with a locomotive, the rear was equipped with a locomotive, and the front and rear compartments were reserved for coal, as for the water, snow can be shoveled at any time to replenish, there are ten carriages in the middle that can be loaded with people and goods, and one section can pull two tons.
Moreover, after the test run, after accumulating the experience of coal burning and repairing the small leakage and water leakage of the locomotive, the time between Guihua City and Liucheng was reduced to eight days, and the remaining two months of winter the train ran back and forth, transporting a full 140 tons of grain, tea, iron and other goods to Guihua City, and at the same time pulling back more than 2,000 horses, more than 20,000 sheep, and more than 50 tons of horses, cattle, sheep or wolves or bones that I don't know what to do.
An essential ingredient for bone china!
The consequence of this is that the twelve tribal chiefs or the eldest son or the second son with the right to inherit have accumulated a small amount of wealth, and by the beginning of spring, a tribe has at least 50,000 or 60,000 stone of wheat and thousands of boxes of tea, which is comparable to a middle-class scholar in the Central Plains.
This has caused another consequence, that is, in the cognition of Xianbei people, in addition to herding sheep and milking cows, there is one more business!
Downstairs is facing those taverns, one by one tea houses, Tiezhuang and with the appearance of powder and ink decoration, but these Xianbei people have no cultural shortcomings are exposed, they are not like the Han people can write, what is Helai Ji, what Ru Liu'an Ji, so this sign is to become extraordinarily fresh, or draw a dog, or draw a sheep's head, the funniest thing is not to know which tribe spent a sheep dung egg, although the appearance is not good, but this advertising effect is really full, impressive.
Not only the shop, but also used the grassland specialties to exchange for a lot of Han goods in winter, and the grassland ice and snow were unsealed in the spring, and there was no need for Wang Hou to organize it, and these twelve surnames had spontaneously organized a second caravan of more than 2,000 people, and even urged the import and export company to stock up early, and then carry out the second trade in the Western Regions.
At this end, the Xianbei people began to learn from the Arabs and carried out business activities with great interest, while on the other hand, Wang Hou was busy as a dog!
There was actually a trace of ink on his face, and a thin brush waved in his hand like he wrote in high school when he failed English, and signed his name on the official documents, and now he hated the name he replaced, Wang Yuan! It's hard to write about Timo!
But it's not okay if you don't write, who called the tide of part-time jobs coming! These are all permits, in other words, they are called road guides!
Last year, Hohetai made a fortune in Qingzhou, which simply caused a sensation, and even hooked up with young people in the tribe who had a handful of blood and bravery!
However, only Hohetai and their more than 300 eastward Liaodong are legal workers, and after paying tribute in Heigang and Lianjiao City, they brought all their belongings back to enjoy them, and more than 1,000 people were smuggled over, even if they followed the Qingzhou pirates south to get the money they earned, there was no legal guarantee! On the way back, some of them were confiscated by the Border Patrol, and when they returned to their tribe, they were divided by the tribal chieftain.
So in the spring of this year, there were a lot of people who came to apply for part-time jobs, reaching more than 3,000 shares, some of them followed the pirate ship south last year, and there were also those who were unwilling to live a life of grazing in the tribe and wanted to make a fortune with a single strength and a knife, and there were many people who did not have an aristocratic background, and planned to go away and settle down directly in Han Land.
If it had been in the past, the Han Empire would not have allowed so many foreign races to enter its territory, just like the previous vigorous Han-Hungarian all-out war, and the captured and naturalized Huns were either assigned to the army, or placed in the Hetao, and the Han Dynasty people were segregated. There is also Cao Cao, although Mr. Cao brought a large number of Wuhuan people to the Central Plains, but he was also organized into a military household and firmly controlled in his own hands, but Wang Hou allowed these more than 3,000 people to scatter into the Han society, and lived with the Han people on their own way to make a living.
If you want to rule the grassland, you have to change the people on the grassland, let them integrate into the life of the Han people, and create a group of rich and high-class people who can rise without going through the traditional route of the grassland to compete for hegemony, this group is the pioneers, so although the writing of the pass is about to vomit, Wang Hou is still tired of signing and stamping it with a big tongue.
However, even if it is Liaodong, it can't escape through the back door, a large number of "Xianbei migrant workers" are waiting in line here with their blankets and waiting for applications, Hohetai took more than 60 brothers under his hands,
It was already comfortable to catch the last chain train before the ice and snow melted.
And last time he brought only about 50 people, this time the small boss has swelled, and there are more than 200 newly recruited herdsmen under his hands! Chartered two large train wagons.
The ice road is now frozen in March, the ice road has melted a little half, this behemoth with iron wheels tied to the chain is running in the water like a boat, the water splashes rattling, but there is not even a shock absorbing spring, the train is still not cured at all, sitting on the pile of bones left by slaughtering livestock, all the young men's jaws are going to be turned upside down.
"Big..., big..., big..., big brother..., this Han people..., the iron dragon..., really... True... True... Energetic! We... We... We... When you go to Liaodong, do you go directly to Jiangnan? ”
In the end, he has a little protagonist aura, Huhetai doesn't stutter when he speaks, his neck is wrapped around his own thick woolen woolen scarf from the grassland, his mouth is blocked, and he is also wearing a thick cat coat, which is wearing a delicate sweater spun from soft wool, and with his big nose, it looks really exotic and handsome.
There is a plush cushion sitting under the buttocks, swaying up and down with the bumps of the train, and holding a cup of hot tea in his hand.
The eyes are full of far-reaching at the same time, but also with a hint of fascination, listening to the new and novel question of Xiaomeng who came out with him for the first time, Hohetai is eyes are deep and look into the distance.
"This time, I heard Brother Liu say that he was going to the Wa Kingdom, a big island located overseas!"
"Hopefully there's something new there! Won't let me down! ”
