"Set aside 200 tents for them to shelter in, but stay away from the city, lest the disease spread. In addition, you should personally go and explain to them that the pioneer land will definitely not be enough for so many people, and the official will not be able to give them all the land, so the local people should not be happy. But under the rule of this official, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will not go hungry, and those who have not been allocated land can help other pioneers first, and it is no problem to mix a family with food and clothing and a house to live in. In addition, if they wish, the officer has a part of the New Army's retired fields, which can be rented to them for two years. ”

It's also a bit embarrassing to see more and more homeless people pouring into Hongtao, they don't come when they want to have manpower, they get together as soon as they come, and they can't always prepare policies all year round and wait, then it's not a homeless person, but a father.

But you can't ignore it, it's already the limit that these people can get here, if you have to force them to go back, it is estimated that not even half of them can go to Lanzhou alive.

And judging from this situation, last year's drought and locust plague were quite serious, and when the weather eases, there may be more influx of displaced people, so we must take precautions and prepare for the situation in advance.

Is there a good way? There must be, these thousands of people are not a problem at all, they are scattered and scattered, and they are gone, and they can't even bubble up. In fact, another 100,000 people can be digested, but there is no problem if you don't come together.

This is really not bragging, from Liangzhou to Ganzhou more than 400 miles, the land is fertile, the rivers are crisscrossed, and all can be used as pasture and arable land. As long as you can help them get through the first year, is it okay to raise tens of thousands of people?

Of course, Hong Tao didn't dare to do this, a small batch of displaced people received it as mercy, and a large number of influxes had to ask the court for instructions first. Population is a strategic material in ancient times, and he can make money by holding male soldiers in his own hands, and if he gets hundreds of thousands of displaced people in, Emperor Shenzong will not rest assured even if he is his own son.

Fortunately, the nearby state capitals are not densely populated, and there are not many people who are willing to leave their families and businesses to start over, so this problem will definitely not be encountered in a few years, so there is no need to worry about it.

"Don't come harmless, I didn't think that Liangzhou City would become so lively after not seeing it for a year, I don't know if the villain is late this time?" Wang Hao went home at the end of last year, and this coming and going is really not close, almost across the whole of China, or diagonal.

But he still appeared in the first wave of caravans arriving in Liangzhou, and he was the most magnificent, with a tailwind dart flag with red letters on a black background on every car, and a dart master in a short dress and a leather hat followed, and his voice was much louder.

"The shopkeeper Wang is really a model for businessmen, a thousand acres of watered land have long been prepared, on the west bank of the Shiyang River, this official Yue Yue has done it once, and he has nailed the boundary stake, he will not dislike my subordinates for their rough work, right?"

In front of outsiders, Hong Tao and Wang Hao never showed the relationship between the crown, and only treated it as a big caravan. Wang Hao naturally knows how to avoid suspicion, except for the first time, if he can not follow his nephew's convoy in the future, he will not follow.

"Where, where, this is a little bit ......of the Wang family's meaning, and I hope that the adults will laugh and accept it" As soon as he heard that the land had fallen, Wang Hao really laughed. Last year, it was too late, and it turned out that I bought 200 acres at a high price. It seems that the early birds do have worms, and this year this step is the right step.

"It's ...... Nests! From the South Seas? "Wang Hao's gift is not big, nor is it too exquisite, just a lacquer box, and it has no weight. But after opening it, Hong Tao was a little surprised, and there was a box full of milky white bird's nest inside.

With current technology, they certainly won't be cleaned with chemical potions, and they should be of good quality. However, the Song people did not popular to eat this kind of thing, and only a few people in the coastal areas would try it, and even in the Southern Song Dynasty, it was still not popular.

Some people say that the bird's nest was picked and eaten on a whim when Zheng He went to the West due to a lack of food, which is nonsense. Bird's nest is usually located on a cliff, and if a seafarer who has no food can have the strength to climb the cliff to pick this kind of fart food, it is really not as convenient as going to the sea to catch some fish, shrimp and crabs to eat, which is not logical at all.

In fact, bird's nest has been recorded since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, as for why the Song Dynasty did not, it is estimated that no one is willing to eat it, and the climate has not yet formed, so naturally no one will deliberately record it.

"Great, my lord really deserves to be the star monarch, there is not a single thing that I don't know!" Originally, Wang Hao also planned to use these rare things specially bought from Nanyang to show the Wang family's goodness, but the goal was still not achieved.

said flattering words, but he was really a little scared in his heart, could it be that the Wang family was really facing a god? This Nima is a little troublesome, offending mortals, even the emperor has a way to escape, if he provokes the gods, where should he flee?

"Without this ability, how can this official dare to undertake the art of navigation? The children of the Wang family are good, they can endure hardship and loneliness, and they will be able to go home in a few years. Hong Tao really couldn't guess what Wang Hao was thinking in his heart, and he was still blowing. There are some things that you will be immune to when you hear too much, such as the matter of God.

"That's nature, famous teachers make high apprentices...... But why did the adults encourage the pioneers to plant white stacks? This thing has existed since ancient times, but its flowers are not very beautiful, and the Uighurs use its spinning thread to weave cloth is also rough and ugly, so adults will not want to sell white stacked cloth to the interior of the Great Song Dynasty, right? ”

Having cut face on the issue of bird's nest, Wang Hao is ready to try again. The new frontier order seems very unreasonable, why not graze more on such a good land.

Horses, cattle and sheep can be sold at a good price in the mainland, and wool can be spun. The Wang family is a big customer of the woolen mill, and it is not beneficial for the Wang family not to focus on the development of woolen textiles.

"In the past, wool was made into heavy felt in the hands of others, but in the hands of the official, it can become a beautiful thing to keep out the cold, why can't the white stacked cloth be made? Uncle, don't be greedy and chew too much, and eat the rice one bite at a time. If you make too much money, the Wang family's big ship will also be overturned, and it may not be a good thing to be too rich in the land of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Wang Hao's meaning Hong Tao understood, this is the nature of businessmen, greed. There are positive and negative aspects of this kind of character, and which side plays a role depends on one's own practice and Taoism. I can only fulfill the obligation of reminding, and I have no right to change anyone.

“…… Then these white stacked cloth ......" Wang Hao also understood the advice and thought it was very reasonable. After all, the Wang family is only a small family, and they have no support in the court, and if they really gather too much wealth in a short period of time, they will indeed be in big trouble. But nature is nature, and he couldn't help but want to ask.

"That was a year or two away, and who knows how the future will change, it's too early to discuss. If the uncle doesn't want to plant white stacked flowers, the official is not reluctant. ”

The interests of the cotton cloth will definitely not be handed over to the Wang family, not only for their good, but also for themselves. You can't put all your eggs in one basket, the Wang family is just a collaborator, and there should be more collaborators for themselves, instead of letting the Wang family enjoy the dividends of reform alone. It will belong to a stronger and more core group, the Promotion Society!

Hong Tao has already thought about it, since there is such an organization around him, he can't let it just pursue doctrine or something, that thing is too empty, and it is easy to be used by others to become a weapon against himself if it is big.

Simply, treat it as your own shadow operation, and all the industries that are ready to be retained will be secretly operated, developed, and controlled by the promotion society. On the one hand, it can provide itself with sufficient sources of funds like Fu Ji's camel caravan, and on the other hand, it can partially leave the sight of the emperor and the imperial court.

Wang Hao finally chose to plant cotton, because this land is next to the river, and it is irrigated land, which is not suitable for grazing. Something else, he thinks it's better to listen to Lord Shuaiji once. After all, the farmers who accepted the contract to plant rice sac flowers at the beginning had a good income, and the chance of success was quite large, and by the way, they also sold face.

Not only did he think so, but many mainland merchants who came to claim the pioneer land had similar ideas. They also wanted to test the waters in a land with different rules and friendliness to merchants.

If you succeed, it is equivalent to finding one more way for the family to develop, and if you fail, it is nothing more than letting out the younger generations of a few clans, which will not hurt your muscles and bones, and it is worth the investment.
