Dengzhou is small, Liaodong is bitterly cold, and although Ziqing Town is rich, it cannot be directly controlled and operated wholeheartedly for the time being. Li Jing wants to raise soldiers, raise 100,000 and 200,000 soldiers, and also want to take in the homeless, 12 million or even more homeless people.

The fifth dynasty of the late Tang Dynasty was the era of mass extinction of the Chinese population, and in the first two years of the Ping Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, that is, in the second year of the Common Era, the country had a population of nearly 60 million. After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, until the Three Kingdoms War, at the end of the Three Kingdoms, the population of the country was only 8 million. By the time of the Sui Dynasty, the population had recovered to 46 million, but at the end of the Sui Dynasty, there was a chaotic war, and by the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the population was only 10 million. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, the population of the country had recovered to 50 million. However, after the Anshi Rebellion, until now, there are only about 30 million people. By the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, the population would be reduced by at least 10 million, and only 20 million people remained at the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty.

If you want to be strong, population is the key, throughout history, the Three Kingdoms, the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Five Dynasties, this is the most powerful time in history when the population is declining. At the end of the Three Kingdoms, there were only 8 million, after the rebellion of the eight kings of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Five Hu Rebellion, the population disappeared by 80 percent, and the population of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty was more than 11 million at its peak, and after the rebellion of Hou Jing, only 1.1 million people remained.

The 100-year war in the late Tang Dynasty also reduced the population by at least 20 million.

China is a vast land, but the population has declined sharply, which will inevitably lead to the growth of foreign races, and then the Han people in the Central Plains have been bullied for a hundred years.

Coco Li tried her best to change all that, but she went through so much. He already understood. Even if he wants to be a Zhongxing Li Tang Zhongchen. But the current Datang is indeed terminally ill and hopeless.

The Son of Heaven was young and playful and ignored political affairs, and the eunuchs of the court and China controlled the government. Locally, dozens of feudal towns have completely wiped out the prestige of the imperial court. Years of disasters and famine have left countless people with no way out. The Shence army in the hands of the imperial court was eroded, and the local feudal army was arrogant and barbaric. The family valves are holding a flashy feast and desperately expanding.

A big change is inevitably coming, although the Li Tang royal family has been sparing no effort to suppress the gate valve, and even the scale of the imperial examination has gradually increased, in order to balance the gate lord clan, but in fact, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Li Tang royal family has lost control of the world, the Tang Dynasty's court and court and the forbidden army have fallen into the hands of the eunuchs, and the local feudal towns have almost all fallen into the hands of the Shijia gate valve.

Gate valves that lose checks and balances. This eventually led to more serious land annexation and the reduction of civilians to slave vassals. The contradiction between the powerful family and the common people reached its most serious time. Under the guidance of natural disasters and famines, one contradiction after another was detonated, which would eventually implicate the entire Li Tang Dynasty and collapse the entire dynasty.

Under the flowers on the surface, no one would have thought that the building would collapse.

Everyone is drunk and I am sober, Li Jing must do something, the population has plummeted by 20 million in a hundred years. 20 million lives were wiped out, followed by the rise and oppression of foreign tribes such as Khitan and Western Xia, the loss of the sixteen states of Youyun, the year coins of the Great Song Dynasty, and the weakness of the Han people for hundreds of years.

Li Jing wanted to seize Liaodong, which was a multifaceted consideration, and there were also reasons that he had never told his subordinates that he wanted to seize Liaodong and curb the rise of the Khitan. He wanted to seize Liaodong and resettle as many people as possible before the arrival of the troubled times, so as to prevent them from dying in the tide of feudal towns and peasant uprisings.

The Khitan is rising strongly, but it has not yet risen in an all-round way, he can enter Liaodong and Liaoxi strongly now, contain and block the Khitans, give them a head-on blow, and curb their momentum. The territory of Liaodong and Liaoxi is very large, and after hundreds of years of development by Goguryeo, the situation is actually quite good. At least, compared to Lingnan, it is not much worse here. Even, if the Northeast Plain can be developed, it will be more productive here.

Historically, the Goguryeo people rose here, the Tatar people established the Haidong Shengguo here, the Khitan people established the Great Liao Empire, and then the Jin State, the Mongol Empire, the Later Jin Empire, etc., since the Tang Dynasty, the Northeast, is the real henchman of the Central Plains.

This place is not bitter cold, it just needs a population.

Now that there are people fleeing from famine everywhere, Li Jing can accept more people to go to Liaodong. However, this requires a lot of food, and it requires countless supplies.

Dengzhou and southern Liaoning are now output, and even the people under the Zhenguo army cannot supply and satisfy, let alone accept more displaced people.

Li Jing's plan has always been a multi-pronged approach, on the one hand, to open up wasteland and reclaim land, and on the other hand, to rely on the seaports and sea routes of Dengzhou and southern Liaoning to carry out commodity processing, maritime trade, and exchange commodities for grain. Today, the world has not been in turmoil, and the business of the late Tang Dynasty is very prosperous, which has brought huge benefits to Li Jing, but this speed still can't keep up with the expansion speed that Li Jing wants.

Liquor, perfumes, and weapons are extremely profitable, but the cost is not small. The brewing of liquor requires a lot of grain, and even if many fruit brews are developed now, they still need grain.

Li Jing's vision for commodities is still good, when he learned that a glass mirror that is not too big can actually be sold for thousands of dollars, he immediately reacted, this is a huge opportunity to make money. Unlike liquor and perfume, the cost of glass is not high, to put it bluntly, it is sand, and the real core is only technology, and then labor costs. But these costs are nothing compared to the high price of glass.

Li Jing originally felt that in fact, the glazed mouth was more artistic, but relatively speaking, the requirements for various glazed products were higher, but the direct manufacture of glass mirrors was simple and equally valuable.

After these busy days, Li Jing successfully made a floor-to-ceiling coat mirror, and fired some small pieces of glassware and a few pieces of colored glass.

On the Heavenly Wolf Festival Hall, when Li Jing lifted the silk on the five-foot-high, one-foot-two wide gold-trimmed floor-to-ceiling coat mirror, countless exclamations instantly sounded in the festival hall. The huge glass mirror made everyone stunned. Compared with the bronze mirror, this glass treasure mirror will shine a fine picture. What is even more precious is the size of this treasure mirror, a person is tall, and the treasure mirror with a width of one foot and two widths is like a door.

Especially those giant businessmen, their legs were a little weak under the shock. Such a treasure mirror is priceless, a truly priceless treasure.

All the people believed that such a treasure was not owned by the mortal world at all, and that it was given to Li Dashuai by the Dragon King from the Crystal Palace.

Some merchants secretly valued the treasure, but no one could give a price. Such a treasure, no matter how much price is given, it is a blasphemous treasure.

"Such a glass treasure mirror, how much do you think it should be sold?" Li Jing took everyone's expressions in his eyes, and his heart became more and more happy.

The old lady Han of the Xiao family was holding a red sandalwood cane in her hand, and her face was also full of amazement, and she slowly spoke: "This thing should only exist in the sky, how can I smell it a few times in the world, this is a priceless treasure." ”

"No matter how precious it is, it's just a thing, and you must know that Ben Shuai is now trying to buy all the food on the ships in the port, but the money in Xiangzhong is not enough. Therefore, Ben Shuai decided to sell this treasure mirror, and only the one with the highest price will get it. ”

Governor Deng Shi Han Anmin was shocked, "Dashuai, how can such a treasure be sold at will." ”

Li Jing shook his head, "Although the treasure is valuable, the grain is more precious, if you exchange this treasure for more food, you can accommodate and relieve more displaced people, then this treasure mirror is even more valuable." ”

When everyone in the hall heard that Li Jing was going to sell the treasure mirror to buy food, no one shook their heads in amazement, it was a pity that such a treasure was sold so easily.

As soon as someone heard that this treasure mirror was going to be sold, they immediately got up excitedly, "Dashuai, I don't know how much this treasure mirror will sell for?" ”

Li Jing smiled, "How much do you think this treasure is worth?" ”

The giant merchant blushed and thought for a long time, and then shook his head: "This priceless treasure, a rare treasure!" After finishing speaking, he said a little unwillingly: "I am not prepared enough today, and I don't have enough money, can you wait for me to send someone to raise money?" ”

"Of course, although this treasure mirror has to be sold, it can't be sold in a hurry. What I mean is that today is just for everyone to see this treasure, and the real sale will be in ten days, and after ten days, you will come again, and then you will bid together, and the highest price will win. Li Jing said with a smile, of course such a treasure can't be sold casually. If you want to sell it, you have to sell it for a high price. Today, it can only be regarded as a commodity launch, and the real sale has to be auctioned, and the advance notice is to gather these potential buyers, let them see the treasure mirror first, and then give them ten days to prepare money, and after ten days, many rich people will bid together.

Li Jing believes that such a routine will definitely stimulate the desire of these rich people to fight for wealth, and at that time, everyone competed to bid, and he was the one who made a fortune.

Of course, what money can be made just by selling a mirror, Li Jing is ready to make glass manufacturing the most promising business plan in the future.

After the treasure mirror was exhibited, Li Jing asked the guards to hold many pieces of glass products. One by one, they were displayed to the public, including glass water glasses, glass bottles, glass wine jugs, glass teapots, glass beads, and glass ornaments. In addition, there are all kinds of fine wines in glass bottles, especially all kinds of fruit wines in glass bottles, and the transparent glass bottles contain colorful wines, which suddenly makes the wine much higher-end. There are also various perfumes in glass bottles, and the beautiful glass perfume bottle is even more beautiful. In addition, there are a lot of glass-fired paperweights, statues, etc., and a few are colored glass products made of added aerobic minerals, which are even more beautiful.

After the glass products were displayed one after another, Li Jing announced that ten days later, the goods would be officially auctioned. These glasswares, floor-to-ceiling coat mirrors and other more than a dozen large glass products, only one was photographed. Other small glass products will be sold in large quantities.
