When night fell, the wind swayed, and a roaring bonfire was set up everywhere in Nuoda's territory, and hundreds of people dragged their families to sit around the bonfire.

The whole camp was fifty miles long and wide, and temporary wooden sheds were randomly built everywhere in the camp, and there were hundreds or thousands of these wooden sheds, all of which were used to settle the people for a while.

The territory is so huge that you can't see the end at once, you can only see the fires everywhere, and you can hear the noise of noise at any time.

Xifu Sanwei specially dispatched countless night patrol teams, riding horses around the fifty-mile camp to patrol back and forth, occasionally a soldier glanced at the camp, and the Adam's apple in the middle of his throat couldn't help but roll twice.

Eating meat tonight, the whole camp is full of the smell of meat, the soldiers have not been able to eat meat for a long time, and when they smell the smell, they naturally swallow their saliva subconsciously.

There was a bonfire in the camp, and there were countless cauldrons of steaming, and a group of men with big shoulders and round waists kept picking up big spoons and stirring the bottom of the pot, while the deputy next to him threw pieces of dried meat directly into the cauldron.

Tonight's meal is Han Yue's guest, the people of Lingnan have just come to Shun, it just so happens that Li Tai escorted 50 million catties of grassland jerky to arrive, Han Yue waved his hand and directly allocated 2 million catties, he wanted the people to open their bellies and eat hard tonight.

How many people are there in the territory today?

It's already a whopping four million!

There were two batches of migration from the Tang Dynasty, each of which was a population of one million, and the old prince Feng Ang led two million to vote, all of whom were extremely poor people with their families and mouths.

Two million catties of jerky, four million people share the food, the jerky will gain weight when cooked, and it is full of energy to fight hunger after eating, such a big deal may only be able by Han Yue, and no one in the world can do it.

At this time, it was just night, and the sky was not completely dark, so Han Yue sat cross-legged by a bonfire, chatting and laughing with the courtiers around him from time to time.

This bonfire is very huge, and the people gathered around it are all big people, including the Emperor Li Shimin, the eldest grandson of the Empress Tai, a group of old princes, the generals of the three guards of Xifu, and a group of female dependents such as Doudou, who sat around with the family members of the princes.

The night wind struck, bringing the smell of meat in the camp, Feng Ang took a breath with his nose, and his old face covered with ravines was full of relief.

He slowly exhaled this breath and said with great emotion: "Meat, this is the taste of meat!" It's been a long time since the old man has eaten meat, and I'm afraid he had a tooth sacrifice the year before last......"

A young man next to him snorted lightly, and said with displeasure: "Father, why is it like this, our family is not short of money, if you want to eat meat, the child can buy it for you at any time, can't you feel a lot of emotion for a meal of meat?" Besides, this meat is still boiled from jerky, where can the taste compare to the delicious taste of fresh meat? ”

A few young men next to him nodded again and again, and they all seemed to have dissatisfaction on their faces.

Feng Ang frowned, coldly swept these young sons, and then he looked at the middle-aged sons behind him, and asked in a deep voice, "What about you, do you also have this idea?" ”

The middle-aged men hurriedly bowed down and whispered, "Father, the child feels that he should sigh." It's not worth feeling emotionally about one person eating meat, but four million people eat meat at the same time, this, this, this is simply too ......"

It seems that because of the lack of words, he couldn't find the right words after talking for a long time, but Feng Ang was already very satisfied, and nodded to a few middle-aged sons with a smile.

Those young men snorted lightly, and some even had hidden resentment in their eyes, this resentment was as cold as a poisonous snake, and occasionally peeked viciously at Han Yue's side.

This kid suddenly rolled his eyes a few times, lowered his voice and encouraged: "Father, he killed the forty-seventh brother, our family is a strong man in Lingnan, why should you be willing to defect to him?" Under the fence, which is better than himself. ”

Feng An's face remained unchanged, and he suddenly laughed twice, he suddenly stood up from the ground with a wine glass, and said loudly to Han Yue who was not far away: "Your Majesty, the old minister replaces the people of Lingnan, thank you for your generosity, but unfortunately the generous gift cannot be repaid, but the old minister can't help but return the gift......

Han Yue was slightly stunned, and everyone around him also looked over, everyone wanted to see what kind of play this old man was going to sing, and even Li Shimin glanced at it with interest.

Feng Ang raised his wine glass and saluted Han Yue from afar, then tilted his neck and poured it into his throat, and suddenly pulled out the big knife on his waist with a sonorous sound, and the knife flashed directly on the shoulder of the young son.

"Your Majesty!"

The old man's face was full of solemnity, his white hair was pale and windless, and he said loudly: "Today you killed an ignorant beast, but the old minister found an ignorant beast, I can't repay your generosity today, and I am willing to behead this son to set an example......"

As he spoke, he moved his wrist and slashed directly with a knife, although there was obvious reluctance in his eyes, but the power on his wrist could not be faked at all.

At this moment, everyone saw the bonfire fluttering, and then they heard a crisp sound of 'crackling', and Feng An's big knife was broken into two.

Across the campfire, You You flicked his fingers with an unchanged face, then picked up a piece of jerky baked on the fire, and carefully tore it up for the children to eat.

Han Yue laughed and walked over, he reached out and pressed Feng An's shoulder, and the two of them sat on the ground at the same time.

"Which one is Wu Guogong singing? Why kill people on a good day? ”

Han Yue laughed as he spoke, picked up the broken big knife on the ground, and then raised his hand and threw the knife into the bonfire.

After throwing it away, he slowly turned his head, and then said to Feng Ang with a smile: "The old prince is worthy of the fierce general at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and he still has the courage to be strong and strong, you just drew the knife too fast, and even I was unable to rescue it, the fault is not that my wife is strong in martial arts, my son is afraid that he is already dead." ”

Feng An's face was full of shame, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and lowered his head and sighed softly, and said gloomily: "Don't be sensible......" suddenly looked up at the scared son, and roared: "Get out, the old man won't kill you, but he won't recognize you, and you will not be my seed from now on." I, Feng An, have been serving the people all my life, and I can't give birth to a greedy commodity like you. ”

The young man still wanted to speak, but Feng Angfei kicked it away directly, and the young people behind him looked scornful, stepped forward and pulled the young man away quietly.

Feng Ang didn't even look at these sons, but looked at Han Yue with a sad face, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the old minister is ashamed......"

He stretched out his hand and pointed to a few cauldrons not far away, many people had already lined up to start receiving food, and said loudly: "Just with Your Majesty's meal, the old man has struggled for thirty years and has no ability to do it. ”

……

……

Han Yue smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Feng Ang on the shoulder again, he knew that this old man was uncomfortable in his heart, he had served the country and the people all his life, but his sons were greedy and stupid, and the pain of having no way to teach his children became more and more desolate in his old age.

I couldn't find anything to explain for a while, and suddenly a poem popped out of my mind, Han Yue simply sat cross-legged, reached out and picked up a wooden stick and threw it to the bonfire, and said leisurely: "Chang envy the jade lang in the world, Tianying beggars and dot the crisp girl, make a song and pass on the teeth, and the snow flies and the sea becomes cool." The year after returning from thousands of miles is getting younger, and when you smile, you still have the fragrance of Lingmei, let me ask if Lingnan should be good? This place of peace is my hometown......"

This poem was originally about a loyal woman, but it can also be put on Feng An, Han Yue slowly patted Feng An's shoulder, and said with emotion: "Old Guogong, although you have paid your own efforts, but it is a merit in Lingnan for all ages, I can't reward you for this merit, but I can help you protect the children under your knees, the one I killed at noon today is for deterrence, I promise that I will not raise a knife to kill indiscriminately in the future, even if your children are not sensible, but for your sake of your merits, I will not kill, and I will not punish crimes, you have raised more than seventy sons." In the future, I will let them send you to the end of the ......."

After the ancients reached the age of 60, they did not shy away from the words of old-age and end-of-life, but believed that it was a sincere word from the heart, and those who heard it would generally be full of gratitude and joy.

But Feng Ang was not happy, a ravine's old face was full of vicissitudes, he raised his eyes to look at the people who were eating in the camp, and said a little gloomily: "If you can, the minister is willing to have 10 million children, I want all the people in Lingnan to send me to the end, I hope that no one will die of hunger and disease before I die of old age......"

If these words are left to others to say, there is a kind of disrespect and coveting the meaning of the country, let all the people to send the end, since ancient times only the emperor has this qualification, the Son of Heaven is buried, the whole country is sad, no one dares to say such a thing out of the emperor, but the old prince in front of him said it directly.

He didn't want to be the emperor, if he wanted to be the emperor, he would compete with Li Yuan for the world back then, he wanted the people of Lingnan to send him to the end, in fact, he wanted the people to live well, and no one starved to death when he was dying, this is the lifelong wish of an old man with a common heart.

Han Yue smiled, patted Feng Ang's shoulder again, and suddenly shouted lightly at the opposite side, and said, "Youyou, the liquor has been thrown over a bag, and the husband wants to drink a few sips with the old man." ”

A black shadow flashed in the sky, and a sheepskin wine bag was thrown in the air, Han Yue reached out to catch it and unplug it, then raised his head and poured it twice.

After drinking, he handed the wine bag to Feng Ang, and said loudly: "Come, old man, I invite you, take a sip." ”

Feng An's face was a little stunned, he didn't reach out to pick up the wine bag, and said: "Your Majesty, the Son of Heaven does not drink with his subjects, and the old ministers dare not use the wine bag you have used......

Han Yue laughed, stuffed the wine bag to Feng An, and said loudly: "Now regardless of the monarch and minister, let's only talk about feelings, the reason why I respect you is because you and I are fellow travelers, the same want to shepherd the people, the same want to enjoy the happiness of the people, just for this alone, you are worthy of respect." ”

Feng Ang hesitated for a moment, and finally raised the wine bag high, he raised his head and drank it violently, and then let out a violent coughing sound, and there were obvious tears in the tiger's eyes, which was moved by Han Yue's respect.

Between men, no matter how big the age gap is, as long as they take a sip of spirits, the friendship between them will rise.

Feng Ang suddenly laughed, smashed the wine bag on the ground, and said loudly: "Happy, happy, the old minister thanks Your Majesty for the reward, this is the most enjoyable wine I have drunk in sixty years." ”

Han Yue smiled slightly, and said with deep meaning: "The wine is very pleasant, but believe it or not, the dishes I want to give you are even more enjoyable." ”

Feng Ang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked around, but he didn't see anyone bringing dishes over, and the old Guogong's face was a little dazed for a while.

Han Yue slowly exhaled a breath and said softly: "Don't look for it, the dishes I said are not dishes for eating, I will explain to you the development of Lingnan today, and I have the right to make a dish for the old prince to drink." ”

Feng Ang was stunned for a moment, then his face became excited, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please speak." ”

Han Yue nodded, suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the lush forests around the camp, and said leisurely: "There are many mountains and forests, and the trees are towering to the sky, so you can establish a logging industry. Pear is the king of the wood, Ruixiang tree can produce agarwood, these two industries need a large number of people to go into the mountains to cut and harvest, a year income will not be less than five million, with money, the people should be rich. ”

Feng An's face was full of dementia, and it took a long time before he muttered: "Wood can also be sold for money? Do you still have an annual income of not less than five million? Your Majesty, who would be foolish to waste so much money? Lingnan wood is either used to make fires or build sheds, and thousand-year-old trees are all over the mountains, and who would be stupid enough to take money to buy them. ”

Han Yue sneered, and said with confidence on his face: "Don't worry, the old man, I have already made up my mind about this matter." You say wood is worthless, let's hype it up as a treasure? Huanghuali is made into Buddha beads, specially exported to Tianzhu that group of people who believe in Buddhism, Tianzhu is rich in gold, I want them to exchange gold for our wood, as for agarwood, this is the world's first spice, the Central Plains Tang is a rich and noble family, as long as it is hyped out, it can be sold for a large price. ”

In the Tang Dynasty, agarwood was not yet used, and the rich families used ambergris, and the favorite of the readers was to light a trace in the study, and the ambergris sales in the Tang Dynasty were hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. But that's the reason why no one advertises the hype, and if you hype it up a little, it can be at least tenfold.

This market is so huge that 5 million yuan a year is absolutely not a problem.

The Central Plains is not a big consumer of spices, the real big consumer is the beards of the Western Regions, those people because they eat meat all the year round and have body odor, so they like to smoke themselves with some fragrant things.

Seeing that Han Yue was so determined, Feng Ang suddenly thought that this young majesty had a name called the God of Wealth, and the old prince gradually felt a little faith in his heart, and his face unconsciously showed excitement.

Five million yuan a year, wouldn't every ordinary person be able to get half of the money?

Han Yue glanced at him, smiled and then said: "After the establishment of the logging industry, it is just right to bulldoze the mountains and forests to reclaim the land, I said before that there is a rice harvest three seasons a year on the side of Zhancheng, let's transplant it to promote planting, don't say that the people of Lingnan will not starve to death, I will export grain every year to make a lot of money......

What is the most precious thing in this era?

It's not gold, it's not silver, it's not jewelry or spices, the most precious thing is grain, and the day when all countries in the world are rich in food, the emperor of all countries wants to let the people have enough to eat, if the Chinese Empire can export grain, ensure that all countries have to place orders.

Feng Ang couldn't help but lick the corners of his mouth, and subconsciously began to fantasize about his future life.

Han Yue suddenly smiled, and then said: "Logging and grain have made the people gradually rich, but I still have to carry out marine fisheries, and every year I catch fish to make dried fish and sell them to other countries, I also want to build a giant seawater salt drying field, open up a trade route to various countries to sell salt, open kilns, burn ceramics, build ports, build big ships, and send Xifu Sanwei to form a deep mountain hunting team, catch giant pythons and skin them for sale, and when the family is rich, we will sail out to sea to engage in trade, and then money is nothing, The wealth of my Chinese people will be counted in gold......"

Feng An's mouth was trembling, his eyes were obviously showing signs of dementia, and the surroundings became quiet, only to see Li Tao and a group of old princes squatting behind him with blood-red eyes, Li Shimin was holding a cup in his hand, but he didn't know that the wine in the cup was spilled.

Before coming to Lingnan, in fact, everyone was doubting how to develop here, although everyone was full of confidence in Han Yue's ability, but they were actually full of fear when they set foot in this poor place.

Will it work?

Can you do it?

Will it be dragged to death by the people?

Can it be developed?

Everyone has no bottom in their hearts, Li Shimin wanted to talk to Han Yue several times, but at this moment, everyone's worries were all dispelled, and there was only one word left in his mind, that is, money!

Han Yue suddenly laughed again, stretched out his hand to Liu Hongji, the Duke of Kui Guo, and said with a smile: "I remember that your daughter-in-law's mother is a native of Lingnan and has been running the color bead industry for generations, right?" ”

Liu Hongji knew that it was good when he heard it, and quickly clicked his head as fast as a chicken pecking rice.
