Xinhua City, because of the approach of winter, has become unprecedentedly prosperous.

Many people who came to Huaihua to pan for gold returned to Xinhua City because of the arrival of winter, preparing to spend the winter.

And the merchants from Yan Zhao and even Qilu also quickly gathered over like sharks smelling blood.

The gold diggers are carrying bags of gold sand that they have worked so hard to dig out.

Then, in order to exchange for the necessities of life, some of them had to be taken out in exchange for food, firewood, bedding and other necessities necessary for the winter.

In this process, the price of Xinhua gold has of course fallen to a miserable situation.

Scarcity is expensive.

When Xinhua City instantly gathered tens of thousands of gold or even hundreds of thousands of gold.

The price of gold plunged in an instant.

In the hinterland of China, one pound of gold is worth at least 10,000 yuan!

And it's a very reputable five-baht coin!

If it's three baht or four baht, it's at least doubled.

Even, you can't buy it at all!

And in Xinhua City, there is too much gold pouring in in an instant.

Profiteers naturally sit on the ground and raise prices.

money, or give you a pound of gold, worth 10,000 yuan.

However, the unit of currency has automatically become three baht.

Then, the prices of everything in Xinhua City, including firewood, rice, oil and salt, immediately soared.

In just a few days, the price of one stone of corn has risen sharply from more than 60 yuan to 300 yuan per stone.

Moreover, there is no trend to stop growth.

As for oil and salt, it is a price per hour.

Maybe what you buy on the front foot, the back foot will increase in value by several percent.

Even the price of Xinhua local specialty dried fish. also from a dozen dollars a pound, it skyrocketed three times in an instant.

Fortunately. Such a chaotic situation only lasted for half a month.

Before the onset of winter. The Andong Protectorate of Xinhua City made a move.

Governor Bo Shi decisively took administrative intervention.

He set up a yamen of the lord and the lieutenant in Xinhua City to control Xinhua prices and commercial order, and at the same time bought back a large amount of gold sand at 15,000 baht per catty.

On the other hand, the cities under the control of the Andong Prefecture announced that from now on, grain, cloth, firewood, and coal will be under control.

Learn about the price protection in the customs and list a maximum price for all the goods involved.

Of course, these prices are compared to Chang'an. Naturally, it is much higher.

The maximum price of corn was set at one hundred and fifty yuan.

Such a high-priced grain, compared with Guanzhong, is naturally sky-high.

But for the gold diggers in Huaihua County, it is very cheap!

In the past summer, all the surviving gold diggers basically made a lot of money.

Even the person who has the least income has half a pound of gold sand in his pocket.

As for the many guys......

There are not a few people who pan for hundreds of pounds of gold.

Of course. The means they use are not so kind.

Gangs, extortion, and protection money.

The rangers will be in their hometown of the rules. moved to the vast world of Huaihua.

However, this has also brought chaos and fighting.

For the sake of a section of the Fujin River, there are often several Ranger factions. Beat you to death.

Countless people died in the wilderness and in brawls.

Those who return to Xinhua City alive are all victors.

But. It's all worth it.

In the summer, it's just the Jinsha River. There are tens of thousands of people panning for gold there.

The Ranger faction that can occupy a certain section of the river can often collect dozens of gold in protection fees a day.

Such huge interests have of course led to endless disputes.

However, in this gold rush wave, the people who make the most money are not the rangers and stragglers who are gold diggers.

is a person who has shocked everyone - when today's brother-in-law, the governor of the northwest of Huaihua County, is waiting for Chen Huan.

At this moment, Chen Huan was sitting in his official residence in Xinhua City, looking at the yellow, orange and orange cuties piled up in front of him.

He panned for gold for two months.

But the result is beyond everyone's imagination!

At this moment, in front of him, there were several large boxes full of gold!

There is more than 1,000 gold in gold sand!

And this is only less than half of his gold panning income!

"Alas, why does winter come so quickly......" Chen Huan pulled her hair and complained: "It would be nice if it was summer all year round......

His methods of panning for gold are simple and primitive.

It's just taking human lives to fill in!

However, his cost is far less than everyone else!

On the Wano Islands, the Uno slaves, who could not be caught, provided him with labor that was so cheap that he couldn't even believe it.

Throughout the summer and autumn, his fleet traveled to and from the land of the Japanese slaves four times.

More than just waterways, ports and transit points.

More importantly, more than 10,000 Japanese slaves were captured.

Half of these Japanese slaves were taken by him to repair the walled city for his Northwest Governor, and the other half, after selling more than 1,000 people for cash, the rest were all pulled to the Jinsha River to pan for gold.

Chen Huan used his retainers and domestic soldiers as overseers, using corn and wheat cakes as rewards, and leather whips as punishments, enslaving those Japanese slaves.

He even invented a performance metric.

According to the amount of gold rush, the Japanese slaves were rewarded and punished, and a grading system was creatively introduced.

The Japanese slaves who pan for a lot of gold can improve their status according to their performance.

If you pay him 50 gold, you can be free, become an overseer, and even get the Han family registration book.

For the sake of the Han household register, the enthusiasm and creativity of the Japanese slaves were fully utilized.

As a result, the gold he received was abundant and good, and the slaves were very obedient.

Especially when they saw with their own eyes that some of their compatriots with outstanding performance were given daily meals, fragrant corn and wheat cakes, and even meat to eat, they were even more crazy. Every morning, there is no need for the overseer to wake up with a leather whip. They woke up on their own and took the initiative to get to work. He worked until night, when the moon rose, and he refused to sleep or rest.

What's more, their requirements are extremely low and they are particularly easy to meet.

A bowl of corn can make them kneel on the ground and be grateful.

Not long ago, Chen Huan was afraid that his walking property would freeze, so he waved his hand. A batch of clothes and bedding were obtained at a low price from the official warehouse of the Yan Kingdom, distributed to these Japanese slaves, and ordered people to light fires in their houses.

As a result, these Japanese slaves were so grateful that they almost hugged Chen Huan's thigh and said, "Dad is really the best......"

Nowadays, the Japanese slaves have changed their initial impression in the entire Andong Prefecture.

These Japanese slaves, although thin in body, are short. Lewd, language barriers, but - cheap, leathery, durable. It's so fed!

At the beginning, Chen Huan even took some new rice mixed with old rice and weeds, and boiled it for them to eat. They are also very sweet, and the food is very fragrant.

Even if hundreds of people are killed. These guys didn't complain either.

When I saw the overseers wearing Hanfu, I was even more smiling. A face of stuttering and flattery.

Such an easy-to-use and easy-to-feed slave, of course, is a treasure!

Now, Chen Huan had already poured the old rice that was originally prepared for these slaves to eat into the Heishui River.

He spent a lot of money to import and buy a large amount of new rice from Yan to eat these slave laborers.

He even took care of his own tenants, and hired doctors from Chang'an to treat these Japanese slaves.

Baby's amazing!

Chen Huan has already planned that in the future, his own feudal country and governance will make good use of these slaves, but he can't let these slaves die.

In the future, building bridges and paving roads, digging channels, and cultivating land will all require such hard-working, brave and kind loyal slaves.

On the other hand, the brand of the Japanese slave has also started in Anton.

It's too rare to feed slaves who are still durable and have no temper!

Many people are rushing to buy it.

Now, the Japanese slaves are a priceless and prized breed throughout Andong.

Even, when aristocrats give gifts, it is also popular to add a 'Japanese slave X person' to the gift list to show that they really value each other.

However, Chen Huan's good days are coming to an end.

Joseon Jun Liu Ming, Canghai Jun Jin Xin, and his brother Chen Xu are all gearing up and preparing to go to the country of Japanese slaves next year.

Even, Chen Huan heard that the Koreans were going crazy, and they all rowed small sampans in winter to catch Japanese slaves in the country of Japanese slaves.

This made Chen Huan worried.

The Japanese slaves on the Uno Islands, continue to be caught like this.

It won't be a few years before they will be caught......

"I have to think of a way, let Your Majesty issue an edict, and only let me go to catch the Japanese slaves alone......" Chen Huan thought in his heart, and then, he looked at the gold sand in front of him, and gritted his teeth: "Simply, I will give this gold as a gift to my mother......"

Chen Huan knows her mother very well.

It's definitely an open-eyed sight, and with money to do things, Tong Su is not bullied!

Two thousand gold sand, change my mother to intercede with the emperor's brother-in-law, probably it should be feasible!

What's more, there are more than just U slaves on the Uno Islands.

In that Yuan Sea, there are countless whale schools.

These are also movable treasures!

In the past summer, Chen Huan hunted hundreds of giant whales with just a small attempt, and benefited countless people.

Next year, when the special whaling ship of the Louchuan Yamen is launched, the whaling efficiency will be improved, and the benefits may be more than that of the Jinsha River in Huaihua!

If you can monopolize this waterway, the future wealth is unimaginable!

Thinking like this, Chen Huan stood up decisively, summoned her housekeeper, and instructed: "Quickly prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for me, I want to write to Your Majesty, and ask to return to Beijing to report on work!" ”

However, in the next second, Chen Huan heard it, and the entire Xinhua City shook.

The whole city, as if in an instant, was plunged into a frenzied cheer.

"Long live Your Majesty! Long live the Great Han! Long live the hussars! Tens of thousands of people shouted loudly as if they were crazy, and Chen Huan, who was so frightened, almost thought that the ground was moving!

"What's going on?" Chen Huan scratched her head and commanded left and right: "Go out and ask ......"

"No!" Immediately, a retainer took the order, and soon after, the man came back and reported: "Returning to the king, the envoy of Chang'an arrived at the official residence of the Protectorate of Andong half an hour ago, and passed the edict of His Majesty to the world to Huaihua!" ”

"How? But a big victory? Chen Huan immediately asked nervously.

Two months ago, after the Battle of Mayi kicked off, the news was naturally known by the Huaihua military and civilians.

This kind of big war involving national fortunes is of great concern to the whole county of Huaihua.

From the immigrants to the nobles and even the Han people, Zhenban and Wuheng and Xianbei, they all paid close attention to this war involving who was the boss in the future world.

And the top and bottom of the Anton Metropolitan Protectorate, including Chen Huan, were extremely nervous and concerned about the progress of the war.

The reason is very simple, this battle is of great significance to the entire Andong Metropolitan Protectorate.

If this battle is won, the Anton Protectorate will be free from the threat of the Xiongnu.

The Huns could no longer and were no longer able to cut off Anton's connection with China from the direction of Right Beiping.

On the contrary, the entire Andong Protectorate would fall under the threat of the Hun cavalry's horseshoe.

When the time comes, let alone a happy gold pan and make a fortune, I am afraid that even your life will be in danger.

"Returning to the monarch is indeed an unprecedented victory!" The retainer said with excitement on his face: "Our army under the command of the hussar general Dongcheng Hou Yizong, first in Wuzhou, defeated the Xiongnu Zhelan Wang's department, and gave birth to the Zhelan King, and then, in the northwest of Mayi, completely annihilated the main force of the Xiongnu Right Xian King, and beheaded the Xiongnu right Xian Wang Yin Zhixian, and gave birth to more than 10,000 people below the Aries King. ”

"Really?" Chen Huan also jumped up when she heard this, and asked with excitement on her face.

"Really!" The retainer said, "The good news has been put under the lubu, and the whole city is cheering!" ”

Chen Huan walked out of the door and came to the courtyard of his official residence, and then he climbed the courtyard wall and looked out over the whole city.

Sure enough, Xinhua City at this moment has turned into a sea of jubilation.

Countless people, whether Han or Hao, soldiers or civilians, rangers or prisoners, were cheering.

The victory in the Battle of Mayi, even the illiterate peasants knew that it meant that they were safe, and it was impossible for the Hun cavalry to destroy their lives again.

And the rangers, who were already the most patriotic, were even more intoxicated by victory.

Countless people were shouting and jumping.

I don't know who took the lead in shouting: The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's minister.

In an instant, the whole city was swept up by this sentence.

In the eyes of the rangers, Ma Yi's victory marks the return of his country and nation to the status of the **** kingdom and the central empire.

So, they celebrated with joy.

Chen Huan looked at this scene and also clapped her hands and laughed.

For Chen Huan, Ma Yi's victory meant that he could finally attack a goal he had coveted for a long time - Xianbei and Wuheng.

In this Huaihua for nearly a year, Chen Huan deeply understood a truth - there are slaves to have everything!

including wealth, status, and strength.

There will always be a day when the Japanese slaves in the country of Japanese slaves will be caught, and there will be more and more competitors in the future.

And his feudal country and career, the labor force he needs, is completely a bottomless pit.

Xianbei and Wuheng, not close to him, are the best source of labor.

After the Battle of Mayi, Chen Huan already knew that the Huns would inevitably abandon many unnecessary places and carry out strategic contraction.

This Xianbei and Wuheng are naturally among those who give up.

This means......

Chen Huan wiped her palms and couldn't help laughing.

What's more, this Wuheng and Xianbei were originally the tasks given to him and his brother by the Son of Heaven.

After that, there is a reward for the death redemption! (To be continued.) )

PS: 12000 words to call it a day, sleep ~

Well, I've got to come on!

It's the 11th of this month, but I've just changed 9w more words.

You have to make up the number of words in the future, and you can't be lazy anymore!
