Chapter 185 The man who sent the money came

Zhao Haoxin is thirty years old, but he looks more like an old man in his twilight years. Of course, this does not mean that Zhao Haoxin looks old, but that he looks mature. The beard that is more than a foot long, fluttering in the wind, and the wide sleeves look good.

When Zhao Haoxin helped the elderly Zhao Boying and came to Miquan City with a brass seal, he even had an illusion that this was not a city at all, but a huge sheepfold. Even the so-called city wall has a height of three zhang, but in the entire city, not to mention the houses, there is not even a straw hut.

The three large characters of "Miquan County" engraved on the bluestone slab show that this is a county seat. Zhao Haoxin's face twitched unconsciously: "This is Miquan County?" Even our Zhaojiabao is comparable to a mile, Daddy, this is the future you have traveled thousands of miles to run? ”

"Bang!" Zhao Boying didn't know where the strength came from, so he suddenly raised the crutch in his hand and smashed it heavily on Zhao Haoxin's forehead. Zhao Boying's beard was furious, and he roared with all his might: "Son, kneel!" ”

Haoqiang landlords and Shizu gate lords are two completely different classes, and the gate lord clan is also called "Shi clan", "Shi surname", "county surname", "everyone", "famous family", "valve reading", and so on. This is a privileged class that occupies a special position in the social, political and economic life with the family as the unit and the family as the standard. Politically, the clan had a high status, they monopolized the official career, controlled the central power, and became the Shiqing Shilu class in disguise. In terms of economy, the clan annexed land, sealed the mountains, occupied the population, broadened the industry, and developed a self-sufficient economy in the style of pastoral villas. In terms of social life, the gate lord clan is a superior social class and has a high social status.

The powerful landlords, however, were a new class between the clans or the common people. Although they own the land and wealth like the gate valve, they do not have the privilege of exemption from military service and tax exemption of the clan gate valve, and they are also the focus of the suppression of the clan gate valve.

Although Haoqiang has a lot of wealth, he suffers from a lack of political power.

Human nature has always been greedy. Even if it is a guy running a hall in a restaurant, they also have their own ambitions and aspirations, they also want to make money, marry the boss's daughter, and become the shopkeeper of the hotel. Of course, the same is true of the powerful landlords, who possess astonishing wealth, and they study martial arts in order to obtain a political position that matches their wealth.

Zhao Boying shouted coldly: "Do you know it's wrong? ”

Zhao Hao was naturally reluctant to admit his mistake in confidence, but seeing Zhao Boying raise the crutches in his hand again, in the spirit of not suffering the loss in front of him, Zhao Haoxin muttered: "The child knows that he is wrong!" ”

Zhao Boying trembled with anger, raised his crutches and slammed it on the ground, pointed at Zhao Haoxin and said, "You know a fart!" ”

The main reason why Zhao Boying made up his mind to move to the Western Regions was because last year, Zhao Boying told Zhao Haoxin about a family matter, the other party was born in the Fenyang Guo family, and his clan was a famous writer Guo Pu in the two Jin Dynasty, although the Fenyang Guo family has long been much worse than before, and now the most powerful official of the Fenyang Guo family is only the Shangshu Provincial Ling Shi Guo Yi, and the Ling Shi is a six-grade official, which is more special. Ling Shi's status is low and disdained by scholars, but no matter what, the Fenyang Guo clan is still a family now.

Guo's marriage to Zhao Haoxin as his wife can also be regarded as a marriage. However, as mentioned earlier, who knows, when they were about to marry, Guo's daughter married another brother of the Li family in Zhaozhou. Zhao Boying was angry, he brought someone to the door to theorize, but he was humiliated by others, Zhao Haoxin was also angry, looking for someone to theorize, who knows, he was beaten by others again......

Because the Fenyang Guo family is a family, they coveted the 30,000 yuan bride price of the Shuozhou Zhao family, but Zhao Boying had no way to ask for help. According to the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, Shishu does not get married, and this marriage itself has problems, but their Zhao family is a toad who wants to eat swan meat. Zhao Boying was so angry that he fell seriously ill and was bedridden for more than three months before he got better.

If the Zhao family is also a family member, even if they lend the Guo family three guts, they will not dare to marry one daughter and two people. The key is that this kind of loss, the Zhao family is determined, even Chen Ying can't interfere.

Zhao Boying pointed to the empty Miquan City and said, "What's wrong with Miquan?" There are mountains and waters, there are fields and fields, we have more than 8,000 ploughing cattle, this year missed the season of farming, seize the time to build houses, before the heavy snow comes, there can always be a nest to live in, at most this year is more bitter, next year will be much better. What's more, as long as our father takes over the Miquan County Order, as long as we make up 4,000 households in Miquan County, our father is the official of the seventh grade of the county, and after three generations, our Shuozhou Zhao family can be set as the next door. ”

Zhao Haoxin didn't understand Zhao Boying's true intentions until this time.

Although Chen Ying only gave Zhao Boying a nominal county order, this county order is a high-ranking official, as long as three generations later, they can become a clan, even if it is the lowest clan, it is also an existence that Haoqiang and Shu people need to look up to.

Zhao Haoxin bowed his head and said, "The child understands!" ”

Zhao Boying roared in a low voice: "If you understand, hurry up and work, in the future, Xizhou Miquan will be the starting place of our Zhao family, where the rivers are abundant, the water is dense, and the weeds are one person high, there is no reason why you can't grow crops, run Miquan well, and you can work for a few years for your father's old bones, and the Zhao family will be handed over to you in the future, and this Miquan order is also yours!" ”

Zhao Boying knows how difficult it is to start from scratch, since he took over the family business of his ancestors, he has been busy for decades, and even let his old wife die early because of overwork. The family business is inherited from generation to generation, and then the next generation adds bricks and tiles, and finally becomes a big family, Zhao Boying is convinced of this. At that time, Shuozhou Zhao was a servant of Tianshui Zhao, because of diligence was given the surname Zhao, and then went out of Shuozhou with the head of the family, and stayed in Shuozhou due to injury.

However, now that he has reached his own generation, he can finally hope to break free from the shackles of the Shu clan.

The industrious Zhao children began to work intensively, some of them dug earth and brick kilns, ready to burn bricks, even women and children were not idle, they cut down the weeds that were as tall as the people, some were left to feed the cattle and horses, and more were dried first, this thatch can be used instead of tiles to make roofs.

With the arrival of the six powerful people of Shuozhou and their tenants in Xizhou, Chen Ying drew six cities on the map, and then cast six Zhengxian seals, and sat on the six cities.

The second great event was that the first cotton mill in the Western Regions was finally put into production. As the autumn harvest of Wude six years is approaching, the cotton planting area in the Western Regions will exceed 20 million catties of cotton output this year, but because cotton bedding is not a consumable product that is changed once a year, this year's cotton will be rich, which is not in the interests of the people of Xizhou Road, so Chen Ying decided to digest the production capacity on the spot, spin the excess cotton into thread, and then weave cloth.

Once the autumn harvest really comes, a large amount of cotton raw materials enter the factory, this textile factory can weave 120,000 pieces of cotton cloth, which can not only be made into military uniforms, but also can be sold in the market, and can also become a fist commodity in the Western Regions.

Of course, Chen Ying can sell the internally digested cotton cloth at cost price plus a meager profit, and then for the cotton cloth that is exported to the outside world, it is naturally a big profit.

The third thing is that the families of the soldiers continue to move from Guanzhong to join their sons and brothers who are soldiers in the Anxi army. Each soldier can get 150 acres of fertile military land, which has an incomparable attraction for the peasants, all of them are moved by the whole family, once the family members move over, Chen Ying is not stingy, with a wave of his hand, 100 acres of Dingkou field.

There were more than 80,000 soldiers of the Anxi Army, and tens of thousands of fields were dumped. However, for the Western Regions, the reclamation of this bit of land is less than one-tenth of the reclamation of later generations.

As a result, the population of Xizhou Road has skyrocketed, already exceeding one million people at its peak, and it is still growing steadily, and with the Han slaves rescued from the Tibetan Plateau, it is easy for the total population to exceed the 1.5 million mark.

All in all, everything is developing in a good direction, and it is not impossible for everyone to work together, and it is not impossible for the Western Regions to become the Western Okura.

Chen Ying was even more excited, taking the army, playing a long march, training while marching, and at the same time inspecting the six counties of Populus euphratica, Hewan, Jingjue, Hongta, Miquan and Weihu, watching the houses rise from the ground and watching the new cities change their appearance day by day, Chen Ying was overjoyed.

Just when Chen Ying inspected Miquan County, Miquan County had become bustling and crowded. The industrious Zhao Boying led the tribesmen to use their skillful hands to not only build a new home, but also use these worthless weeds to weave straw hats, straw shoes, straw mats, and clothes, and use wood to make tables, boxes, beds, and various working furniture, and use these handicrafts to exchange sheep and leather goods with the surrounding nomadic tribes......

Chen Ying was about to enter Miquan City accompanied by Zhao Boying, at this moment, Li Daozhen rode his horse, and when the galloping war horse arrived within three steps of Chen Ying, Li Daozhen turned over and dismounted, and said to Chen Ying: "Chen Lang, there is a big businessman looking for you to buy cotton!" ”

Despite the textile mills, cotton could not be consumed cleanly. At this time, a businessman wanted to buy cotton, and he was simply sleepy and someone sent a pillow.

This is a big deal, Chen Ying naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led people to rush in the direction of Mulan City.

……

In Mulan City, in the protector of most of the Western Regions, a woman in white with long sleeves and fluttering fluttering happened to be sitting in the living room drinking tea, and behind her stood several tall men in bare-handed clothes, with thick calluses on their palms, muscular, and fierce eyes, obviously his bodyguards.

The lady in white had her back to Chen Ying, even though she knew that Chen Ying was coming to the hall, she still sat on the soft couch and didn't move.

A businessman, so rude, Chen Ying was faintly unhappy, if it weren't for the generous gift she put on the table, Chen Ying would have really invited her out.

"The fragrance is fragrant, refreshing, and the tongue is already full of food and tongue before drinking, and the whole body is comfortable, good tea, really good tea." The woman in white finished drinking a cup of tea, reluctantly put down the teacup, and said with a slurp: "I really didn't expect my little cousin to be so proficient in the tea ceremony, what a wonderful person......"

Hearing this, Chen Ying's eyes widened, and he looked at Yang Rong in disbelief and said, "Big cousin, why are you here?" ”
