When it comes to guts, businessmen are the first, Fan people are second, and Song people are third. The rally was a great success, and all the prisoners of war, cattle and sheep were bought at a very reasonable price.

But Hong Tao was not very happy when he saw the purchase of the catalog, the Song people in Huangzhou did not buy a single slave, and the Fan people did not think that there were enough prisoners of war, because Wang Hao bought too much, and it was their turn to not only have not much left, but the quality was not good.

But just like that, they didn't leave even one for themselves, and the old woman in her 50s wanted it. In their words, you can't do too much work, milking is always there, right? Anyway, I don't pay my salary, and I don't lose money by taking care of two meals.

In addition to Wang Hao, the second person who was keen on buying slaves was the master craftsmen of various workshops. Zhu Bajin stayed in Huangzhou and did not come, but these masters were not polite at all, and almost beat Wang Hao in order to fight for the prisoner. It wasn't until I heard that this was the crown's own uncle that he reluctantly agreed to let him pick first.

Each workshop has basically been independently calculated, which means that Hong Tao has to pay real money for the goods from them. Of course, most of this money will be transferred back to Hong Tao's pocket.

However, the profit of each workshop will be related to the income of everyone in the workshop, who does not know that the cost of slave work is low, and if you grab one more, you will have more income.

"No one is allowed to rob these three hundred slaves, they are all returned to the stone factory, and they must see the lime next month, otherwise the official will not be able to continue to capture prisoners of war and come back, and they will become prisoners of war for others."

In fact, it was in vain to rob for a long time, and in a palace in the inner city, Hong Tao secretly hid more than 300 young and strong prisoners. It was revealed when the masters returned to the journey, and before they could smile, they went back with another stick. It's cost-effective just to help bring it back to Huangzhou, don't expect any one.

In addition to the prisoners of war, more than 500 soldiers will be transferred from various military villages in Huangzhou to Wusheling Ridge, not to guard the pass, but to demolish this granite cliff.

The Wusheling Pass is very dangerous, but it is a burden to Hong Tao, and he is always on guard against being captured. The new army does not need this kind of pass, so the road to Wusheling should be widened, which is more conducive to giving full play to the power of rockets.

At the same time, this widening project is not in vain, the stones hewn down from Wusheling will be transported to Liangzhou City, plus the stones removed from the original city wall, and a new city will be rebuilt.

This is Hong Tao's plan, the pure reinforced concrete city wall is not very reliable at the moment, mainly because there is not so much lime available. In fact, you don't need such a strong city, it is enough to build granite with cement, which is strong, cheap, and fast.

But how to play its role after the construction of Liangzhou City is a big problem. Hong Tao has looted the surrounding area of Liangzhou City, and most of the people of Liangzhou have moved with their families, either to the west to Ganzhou, or to the east to Yingli. Some people simply followed the Shiyang River north into the hinterland of the desert, where it is said that there is also a large lake with good water and grass.

The rest of the people were captured and sold as slaves, and the entire Liangzhou region was basically killed after this war, and it seemed to be useless except to become a military fortress.

Hong Tao was very dissatisfied with this answer, spending so much money and grain to build a city must not only be a military fortress, that role is too single, nor can it be self-sufficient, and a large piece of fertile land has been wasted in vain.

But there is no one, and it seems that relying only on a limited number of servants does not seem to have much effect, where to get the population back? At the moment, it seems that there are only three paths.

First, it was to continue to fight to the west and east, and to use the capture of prisoners to expand the local population of Liangzhou; second, it was to write to the emperor, requesting that a large number of servants from the interior be transferred north to Liangzhou to reclaim the famine; Third, the people from the interior can be mobilized to come to Liangzhou for cultivation and grazing.

The first point is that Hong Tao must not be able to do it, if he is willing to use prisoners to reclaim the famine, he will not be guilty of the slave trade, how good it is to stay. These local captives were not at all part of Hong Tao's Liangzhou plan, and they had to stay away from the land to avoid any recurrence in the future.

Not only will the captives in Liangzhou be sent away, Hong Tao plans to move at least half of the population of Western Xia south in the future, and send all of them to the south of the Yangtze River, and then disperse and live together with the local Han people, so as to completely solve the border troubles and ethnic problems. He had already secretly played this idea to Emperor Shenzong, and it was still unknown whether he could agree to it.

The second point is that Hongtao is operating, and the imperial court has no objection to the horses to feed these burdens by themselves, but the carriage servants need to travel through the state to the north, and the speed is relatively slow, and it is normal to walk for three or five months, and it is not expected for the time being.

The third point has actually been implemented, through this buying conference, Hong Tao met the people of Huangzhou who were more courageous, and among them there were even more courageous ones, who planned to move their families to Liangzhou to live.

What is it that keeps these people from fearing the threat of war? In addition to having infinite longing for this magical Shuaiji, what attracts them more is the land!

On behalf of the Huangzhou Prefecture Ya, Hong Tao issued an extremely attractive condition, the reclamation order!

The 50-mile range from Mawei City to Liangzhou City is all applicable to the reclamation order, and the content of the reclamation order is only one, that is, whoever is willing to come here to cultivate and graze can own a piece of land of 100 acres for free. All property on and under the land belongs to the individual, except for pastures, forests, rivers, and roads.

This new policy was promulgated by the Huangzhou Prefecture Government, and the land contract was also signed by the Huangzhou Prefecture Government, which is very credible and valid. Of course, the new policy also clearly pointed out that the north of Wusheling is still a war zone, and although there is no longer an enemy, the risk still exists.

The state government called on families who were willing to go north of Wusheling to reclaim the land to go to the department store to buy the necessary weapons and armor, arm themselves first, and then several families would get together and go north. A large number of enemy recruits could be dealt with, and a small number of horse thieves and bandits could only be dealt with by each family itself.

To this end, the state government has also specially introduced a zero-mortgage, five-year land reclamation loan, and all families who register to go to the north of Wusheling for land reclamation will receive three sets of armor and one set of steel farm tools for free. As long as the reclamation period reaches five years, the loan does not have to be repaid.

Another preferential policy is that families who have reclaimed land north of Wusheling can get 200 acres of land, which is twice as large as settling around Mawei City!

In fact, the reclamation order was not only issued in Huangzhou, but Wang Guan and Wang Hao also took a copy. They will help promote the policy in Weiqiao Town and Fujian Road, and provide a small fee to encourage local families who have no land and no way out to go north to fight.

If you lose one or two cheap lives, if you win, you will be a big landlord and a descendant of Meng Yin.

In Wang Hao's words, this temptation is too great, and even a rich and noble family like him is red when he looks at it. Fujian Road Stone Mountain has a lot of arable land, little arable land and barren, and every family hopes to have a good land of their own.

He has personally walked through Mawei City and Liangzhou City, even the mountains here are covered with a thick layer of soil, which is more fertile than the ordinary cultivated land in his hometown, not to mention the slopes near Liangzhou, where not only the land is fertile but also has sufficient water, and it is a good place for farming and grazing.

At this time, the instinct of the businessman was vividly embodied, and before the news was brought back, Wang Hao booked 2,000 acres of land on behalf of the Wang family and Hong Tao, and rode around the neighborhood for more than a day to find the most suitable place for himself, and stamped his fingerprint on the Liangzhou reclamation map.

This should be regarded as a venture capital of the Wang family, they want to send ten families of their own family to occupy a nest here, if successful, the Wang family will develop together in the north and south. If it fails, it will be regarded as a sinking boat at sea, and it is not a big deal.

In addition, it can be regarded as an investment by the Wang family in Hong Tao, this adult is fundamentally different from the officials of the Song Dynasty from his speech and demeanor to his style of acting, where is the difference Wang Hao has not yet summed up, but he can clearly feel the breath of the same kind.

If the two sides can cooperate more closely in the future, the Wang family may have greater gains. Qualified businessmen never expect empty gloves and white wolves, reasonable prices and expectations are what they pursue, so at this time, it is also a kind of statement and goodwill to cheer for Lord Shuaisi.
