"Have you heard? The imperial court restored Yunzhou City, and now as long as they are not registered people, they can go to Yunzhou to divide the land immediately, and they will also give seeds and cattle. ”

"When did you hear the news here, I heard that as long as you are willing to go, each household will follow Dingkou, and one stone of rice per person"

"Nonsense, the division of land is 200 acres, not 100 acres. Yunzhou has not been under the control of my Datang for many years, and the only thing to worry about is that this Yunzhou does not seem to be peaceful, and there were horse thieves before. ”

"What's not peaceful, haven't you heard, as soon as the famous Du Changshi took office, he directly killed the horse thief and left a piece of armor It is said that on the four walls of Yunzhou City, the decapitated head can't be hung up"

All kinds of news spread all over the country from Taiyuan Mansion to Lanzhou Shuozhou and Daizhou, and for a time there were many hidden households and fugitives who had not been able to live a hard life in the local area, and there were many people who dragged their mouths to Yunzhou. Within two months, nearly 1,500 people had migrated to Yunzhou. It doesn't sound like much, but compared to Shuozhou, which has a population of just 20,000 since the founding of the Tang Dynasty a hundred years ago, Yunzhou, which originally had only 2,000 people, has just been reinstated, which is so attractive, which can almost be regarded as a remarkable achievement. However, after the sudden influx of population, another rumor gradually spread quickly in Yunzhou and even neighboring states.

Yunzhou already has very little rice, but now because I didn't expect so many people to pour in, it has begun to run out of food

"It's all said, if you buy according to the food stamps, you will pay a thousand yuan, and I don't have any extra rice to sell you anything, do you do business? What the fuck do you think I don't want to do business? We are the Yunzhou Governor's Office special cooperation rice line, what is the special cooperation you don't understand? In other words, we have signed a contract with the government, and if we dare to sell it to people who don't have food stamps, we will get out of Yunzhou City immediately."

The loud shopkeeper of Mi Xing said such a call in one breath, and when he saw that the people around him refused to disperse, he said angrily: "Scattered, Du Changshi is already very sympathetic to the people's livelihood, one stone of rice is at least enough for one bite to eat for two months, according to the food stamps issued by Dingkou, even if there is a wife and daughter at home, it is more than enough to eat for a month and have more than enough effort to gather here, it is better to hurry up and cultivate your land and find a job, thinking that the government will always support you?" I actually gathered here to ask how much grain my rice store still has, damn it, what does this matter to you? ”

The scolding shopkeeper soon disappeared into the door, and many of the people who wanted to stock up on some food at home because of the rumors left in a huff, but there were also people who inquired about the guy with a smile on their faces. As a result, the frizzy young guy couldn't help but be soft and hard by others, and said angrily: "Isn't the shopkeeper Wu angry because he is holding his breath in his heart?" He didn't expect that there would be so many people coming from Yunzhou, so Du Changshi initially asked for food, counting the money of his feet, and reluctantly collected a real price of three hundred wen and one stone, thinking that a thousand stones would be enough, but now it is good, if people pour in one after another, ten thousand stones may not be enough."

As soon as these words came out, several people who inquired about the situation paid more attention. One of them, with an old face, cautiously asked, "Dare to ask...... When your owner signs the contract, is there no upper limit? ”

"It's a one-year contract, one year" The young man saw that the middle-aged man stuffed a handful of copper coins in his hand, hesitated for a while and said in a low voice, "I originally thought that it wouldn't take much in a year, and I could still have some relationship with Du Changshi's rich lady's family, but the result was good, Yunzhou gathered so many people at once, and it was lonely in the north, and it was definitely going to be expensive

As soon as the words fell, the loud shouting of the previous shopkeeper Wu came from inside: "Xiaoba, what are you talking about with people?" No one is temporarily closed, really, how can a small business withstand such a toss"

As soon as the young man stuck out his tongue and began to put the door panel, the people gradually dispersed. And the man complained again and again in front of him, and he was a young man who saw the money, when the door panel of the entire rice shop was lowered and the door was closed tightly, he came to the back with a smoke, and said with a smile to the shopkeeper Wu: "Grandpa, my play is good, right?" ”

"You are a little guy with a big ghost, Du Changshi must praise you, your grandfather, I didn't see the wrong person, among the brothers, you are the smartest"

The current shopkeeper of Wu is Wu Jiu back then. At that time, the deed of sale signed by Du Shiyi's coercion and inducement had long been invalidated, and Qianbaoge is still selling Du Shiyi's pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, from Duan inkstone to sprinkled gold paper and Songtao paper to all kinds of high-grade paper, which can be described as a rolling source of money, and he, who is in the middle of the contact, has also saved a family foundation that he couldn't even think of when he was an errand officer. Therefore, Du Shiyi came to Yunzhou this time and needed to allocate a fresh face to open a rice shop here, and he automatically asked for it without thinking, and also brought his young son with him. Just now, the father and son were out in a gear, and I thought the news would spread soon.

"Grandpa, can you beg Du Changshi, and let me go to him to study hard when the time comes?" Wu Tianqi salivated and pleaded, seeing that his father's face immediately changed, he hurriedly said flatteringly, "Naturally, I don't dare to ask Du Changshi to accept me as a disciple, as long as I am asked to run errands, I will be satisfied." Grandpa, you are also the first person to follow Du Changshi, you don't have no face at all, right? ”

"Phew, your grandfather, I sold myself at the beginning, so this is where we are today" Wu Jiu took a sip of his young son angrily, but he was thinking about it and thinking about it, Zuihou gritted his teeth and said, "Since you kid knows a few words, when this matter is over beautifully, I will ask Du Changshi again, and now I don't think so much about it."

1,000 horses, this is all the funds that Du Shiyi instructed the household department to "generously" allocate to him when Du Shiyi took office before. Thinking of when Princess Gu'an migrated to Yunzhou, there was also so much money for repairing the city wall, and the allocation this time seemed to be quite considerable, but there were many places where the entire Yunzhou City needed money.

This is also because the rammed earth is made of local materials, and the trees can be obtained in the neighboring Cailiang Mountain and Baishan Mountain, and all the expenses are almost labor costs. In just two months, Du Shiyi knew that even if he saved and saved, the expenses on the books exceeded six million yuan, and the thousand silk horses didn't even make a splash and didn't know where to go.

However, these expenses are not worthless, especially the Niupiguan and Baishan Cottage in the north of Yunzhou have been reinforced, which are one of the barriers of the isolated city of Yunzhou. And on this day, the caravan from the Xi Nationality Ao Lost Department, the Du Ji Department, and the Yuan Qi Folding Department actually came two months earlier than in previous years.

When this group of nearly 100 people in the north gate of Yunzhou was subjected to twice as strict an examination than in the past, and after entering Yunzhou City, they immediately found that compared with the situation when they came here over the years, the people they saw were sparse and lala, and now they only saw a lot of construction in the city, and most of the people who came and went were in a hurry, as if they wanted to run away.

It is not the first time that he once led his troops to surround King Xi's tooth tent and had several relationships with Du Shiyi, and he came to Yunzhou City quietly in the caravan. For King Xi Li Lusu, he can't look down on a thousand or ten thousand, however, such a puss loses such a virtuous help as Princess Gu'an, but he was forced to marry Princess Dongguang by the Tang Dynasty. But the so-called noble daughter of the clan who is only beautiful and can't even match Princess Gu'an with a finger, he can't look down on it at all. What's more, the person sent by Datang to serve as the governor of Yunzhou this time was Du Shiyi, who he had seen at the beginning, so he thought about it again and again, and finally decided to come to meet him in person.

It was none other than Wang Fanglie who greeted the caravan. This is now the governor of Yunzhou, Fa Cao, joined the army, but he also made a cameo appearance as a horse thief on the grassland, although he was not crazy enough to rob the Xi caravan with a large army, but he also looked at these teams returning from the Central Plains carrying tea from afar. Unexpectedly, now it has become his own to greet them, Wang Fanglie is a little unaccustomed, and he tries to talk less along the way, but he can't bear to ask him about Du Shiyi after he took office, especially the group of horse thieves he exterminated before, and he finally got impatient when he got to Zuihou.

"That's right, Du Changshi just discussed it with my grandfather on Bai Mountain, so he set up a trap to lure those horse thieves to be fooled"

"Ah, could it be that this Ah Lang is the young master of Bai Mountain? Disrespectful ......"

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Wang Fanglie saw that the person he had just inquired about suddenly turned into a continuous greeting, and he couldn't bear it. When he brought people to the newly built Taipingfang Trading Company, he immediately handed over these hot potatoes. In the past, every time I came here, I lived in a whole private house, and there would be many guards sent by Princess Gu'an to guard it tightly, and everyone in the caravan was surprised by this newly built trading company. In particular, when Jihamer entered the Taiping Fang, he noticed that this building occupied a quarter of the area of the entire Fang, and the walls, gatehouses, and arrow towers were all available.

Compared with the brave guards of Princess Gu'an in the past, these people are more uniform, obviously after a different kind of training

"On the order of Du Changshi, during the stay of the Xi merchant group, he went in and out to guard"

After a month and a half of training under Wang Zhonghe's subordinates, Nan Jiyun actually had a kind of reborn transformation. After all, he is not the heir of Wang Zhong after the official eunuch Zhongliang, whether it is the art of war or martial arts, it is just a prototype, and Du Shiyi actually entrusted him to Wang Zhonghei in person, this false son of heaven inherited Du Shiyi's love for letting him lead the troops, and he was also quite attentive to him. Therefore, Nan Jiyun just shouted, and the hundred people behind him neatly performed a knife-wielding salute.

"It's easy to say," the nominal caravan leader snorted, but his eyes squinted at Jihamer. Seeing that his face was solemn, he hurriedly said a few beautiful words, and after settling down, he summoned a few people to meet one after another, and Zuihou invited Jihamer over.

"Qi Jin, the growth of this Yunzhou City seems to be irrepressible"

"Less than three months after taking office, first except for the horse thieves of unknown origin, and then gathering so many people, and then building a large number of buildings and rectifying the military horses, this Du Changshi is really the same as when we first met him, unfathomable" Speaking of this, Jihamer raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, but laughed again, "However, when I first entered the city, I found that Yunzhou City is not without weaknesses." Because it has been abandoned for many years, the population is small, and now it has developed so suddenly, in the words of the Tang people, it is inevitable that there will be more monks and less porridge, and only we begged them to ask for tea in the past, but this time, maybe we are also their lifesaver, you know, we use to buy tea cattle and sheep this time, but the number is very large, the food is not enough, and the meat is to make up, this time you can exchange some good things"
