Chapter 908, Socio-Economic Issues
Send a chapter first. I don't know what's going on these days, God has changed his face too quickly, yesterday the sun was shining, and the poor road squatted in front of the computer shirtless, picking his feet, and he was drenched in stinky sweat, and today is good, the temperature has dropped by more than ten degrees, and the poor road is so cold that he is wearing cotton clothes, and he almost can't pick his feet-
After being questioned, the patrol Yaksha was driven away by Ao Yan, to say that this patrol Yaksha originally planned to wait by Ao Yan's side, probably because he was planning to slap Ao Yan.
The idea of patrolling the sea is very simple, when this real dragon becomes an adult, it will always be independent, and at that time, it will be necessary for a group of cronies to take care of the sea areas under their jurisdiction, and he is close to Ao Yan at this time, and he will not be a big official such as a patrol general in the future.
But Ao Yan's side is not something that the Yaksha can stay with for a long time, and it didn't take long for this Patrol Yaksha to be out of breath, his demonic aura was weak, and he almost felt like he was about to lose his breath.
Ao Yan drove it away for its own good, but seeing that this patrol Yaksha was unwilling to leave, Ao Yan probably understood what this guy was thinking, so he simply gave him the title of a patrol general and sent him to the chaotic sea.
For the title given by Ao Yan, the sea patrol Yaksha was almost so excited that he fainted.
Although there is no subordinate in this patrol Yaksha at this time, but when he left, he also showed an inexplicable official authority, and he walked with a figure-eight step, if it wasn't for the demonic spirit, it was estimated that this guy would fall to the ground if he couldn't walk a few steps.
This scene made Wei Xiaobei a little dumbfounded, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this kind of thing seems to be regardless of race. As long as you become an official, it will be different from before.
"It feels a little different."
As a matter of fact. This sea patrol yaksha is really different at this time, although Wei Xiaobei said that he did not use everything to know how to check. But you can also see the change in the aura on the body of the patrol Naksha.
A trace of Ao Yan's unique dragon qi emerged on this sea patrol yaksha, and its strength was slowly increasing under the effect of this dragon qi.
Although this kind of improvement is difficult to detect, but it is long-lasting, at this rate, I am afraid that in less than three months, the strength of this sea patrol yaksha will be able to rush to a four-star ordinary!
And the beginning of this change was just Ao Yan's mouth to promote him to the rank of sea patrol general!
During this period, neither dragon soul nor dragon blood was given, just a word.
It's a little too amazing.
For this. Wei Xiaobei specially asked Ao Yan.
And Ao Yan's answer made Wei Xiaobei think a little.
The gist of it is that the dragon is the length of a hundred scales, and it is born from a hundred scales, and there is a trace of dragon blood hidden in the body of the Patrol Yaksha, and Ao Yan's words activate the blood veins in his body.
In time, the Yaksha might be able to become a half-blood.
To be honest, Wei Xiaobei wanted to catch the Patrol Yaksha at this time and take a look at some genes.
But there's no need to rush this matter, anyway, before leaving the gray world. There is still some time.
After saying a few words to Wei Xiaobei, Ao Yan showed sleepiness again, and the huge dragon head lay on the ground and fell asleep again.
Wei Xiaobei originally planned to comfort Ao Yan with delicious food. You know, the hundreds of sea fish caught need to be cooked and eaten. to be able to calculate it in the fishing skill task.
But looking at this situation, Wei Xiaobei could only leave temporarily.
Walk through the desert. Wei Xiaobei stood at the junction of the Great Plains and the Desert, looking at the Great Plains with some stunnedness.
The Great Plains at this time was completely different from when Wei Xiaobei left.
Its area alone seems to have increased more than tenfold. In the distance, the clouds and mist shrouded in the Iron Fence Mountain were almost nowhere to be seen.
The Great Plains are full of verdant farmland, with villages and occasional towns.
That's a big change, isn't it?
Wei Xiaobei felt the mush in his head, and slowly came to the door of Zhao Yunjun's camp.
Seeing Wei Xiaobei coming back, the general guarding the gate immediately checked Wei Xiaobei's token.
If you don't have a token, it will be more troublesome to enter the camp.
After entering the camp gate, Wei Xiaobei went all the way, there were many acquaintances, and when they saw Wei Xiaobei coming back, they were all a little happy and said hello.
For this reason, Wei Xiaobei delayed for a while.
The big tent of the Chinese army!
The guards on both sides saw Wei Xiaobei returning, and they didn't say hello, but just nodded to Wei Xiaobei, but Zhao Tong just opened the curtain and walked out with a letter in hand, and when he saw Wei Xiaobei, he hurriedly said: "Second uncle is back?" ”
It can be seen that Zhao Tong was wearing civilian clothes at this time, so he was commensurate with Wei Xiaobei as his second uncle.
"Big brother in there?"
Wei Xiaobei nodded and asked.
Zhao Tong was probably in a hurry, so he didn't say much, and left immediately.
When Wei Xiaobei entered the big tent of the Chinese army, he saw Zhao Yun sitting in front of the handsome seat, the desk was full of various documents, and his brows were slightly furrowed.
"Big brother!"
Wei Xiaobei called, Zhao Yun raised his head, and when he saw that it was Wei Xiaobei who came back, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Second brother, you can be regarded as back, come on, help me take a look." ”
Wei Xiaobei was a little curious, what could make Zhao Yun difficult.
After that, he took the document in Zhao Yun's hand, and after reading it for a while, Wei Xiaobei was a little surprised.
Although Wei Xiaobei had seen a little bit of the situation on the Great Plains before, it was just a slight scrape in his eyes.
Now that he has read these documents, Wei Xiaobei understands what the current situation of the Great Plains is.
To put it simply, the Great Plains now has more than 1,000 villages, more than 200 small towns, 10 county seats, and a total population of more than 200,000.
Even when it was placed at the height of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it could be called prosperous.
And Zhao Yun's headache at this time is probably the following.
First, the grain production in this great plain is very high, but the grain is cheap and hurts the peasants, and many grain merchants take advantage of this bumper harvest to try their best to lower the price of grain, which makes the farmers complain.
It is inconceivable to say that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a bumper harvest of grain, and the farmers would complain, but this also shows that the grain output of the Great Plains is too much.
Second, the income of residents in various counties and small towns has plummeted, which is also full of complaints.
Third, Zhao Yunjun's tax revenue has decreased.
Well, Wei Xiaobei looked at these three questions and couldn't help but say: "These three problems are actually one problem, and the price of grain cannot be sold." ”
The price of grain is low, and the farmers have no money to go to the county seat or town to consume, buy daily necessities, etc., and this transaction cannot be made, so Zhao Yunjun naturally does not need much tax.
Zhao Yun nodded: "This point, Zhuge Master also said it, he proposed that the army pays for food, but there is not much money in the camp, and the cup of water is not enough for the salary." ”
It is true that Zhao Yunjun has any money, but to be able to come up with this method, Zhuge is not bad at the brain.
"In this case, why not open a trading market in each county town and town, and let the farmers and the residents trade on their own and barter the goods? And Zhao Yunjun can also participate in it, using sea salt, salted fish, and iron as trading goods. ”
Wei Xiaobei didn't study much about this kind of thing, but his brain turned quickly, and after thinking for a while, he put forward a suggestion.
When Zhao Yun heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly asked his own soldiers to summon Zhuge Master Book, and then patted Wei Xiaobei's shoulder vigorously: "Second brother, this time I helped my brother a lot." ”
Although Wei Xiaobei's suggestion was a bit crude, it made good use of Zhao Yunjun's existing materials to solve this problem.
You must know that because the soldiers on the beach are non-stop day and night, fishing in shifts and drying salt, in the warehouse of Zhao Yun's army, sea salt and salted fish can be said to be piled up, and those soldiers are about to vomit when they eat salted fish.
As for the iron tools, with the blessing of supporting the iron mountain, from time to time, a small wave of iron and stone monsters would hit Zhao Yunjun's defense line, leaving a corpse behind.
These corpses are enough for the entire Zhao Yunjun to build weapons, and in addition, it is not difficult to use the remaining scraps to make some ordinary iron tools.
You know, the farmer, the clothes, the vegetables and so on can be woven by themselves, but salt and iron are indispensable.
Of course, if Zhao Yunjun participated, it would definitely have an impact on those businessmen, but the social and economic problems were not so easy to solve.
As long as the farmer's side is stabilized and the supply of soldiers is ensured, the rest of the things are trivial.
When the master of Zhuge arrived, he met Zhao Yun first, and then greeted Wei Xiaobei.
As soon as Zhao Yun said Wei Xiaobei's method, the master of Zhuge couldn't help laughing: "This is really a great talent from heaven in our army!" ”
Hearing this, Wei Xiaobei couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, saying that in the past, he watched the Romance of the Three Kingdoms or something, and looked at the words of those people in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
What is an army of 800,000, what can be worth an army of 100,000 if you have this virtuous person, what is a strategy that can make the lord get so-and-so without blowing dust, etc., there are too many.
What kind of talent are you? This method is easy to get at your fingertips in reality, and Wei Xiaobei always feels that his method will lead to some trouble in the future.
Of course, listening to others boasting about himself, Wei Xiaobei is still quite cool, you must know that among Zhao Yunjun, it is recognized that the person with the highest strategy is this Zhuge master book.
What's more, he is Zhuge Liang's nephew! was praised by this person, Wei Xiaobei felt a little praised by Zhuge Liang.
Well, anyway, Wei Xiaobei finally reminded Zhuge Master of the possible sequelae of this method.
The biggest disadvantage of this method is that Zhao Yunjun may replace those merchants and become the only party to trade with farmers, if this is the case, the residents of those county towns and towns will have a hard time.
Therefore, this method requires Zhuge to find a way to make up for the loopholes.
Hearing Wei Xiaobei say this, the master of Zhuge nodded and thanked Wei Xiaobei, saying that he would definitely pay attention to this matter, but now and now, this matter needs to be handled first.
As soon as Zhuge left, Wei Xiaobei also said goodbye to Zhao Yun, but as soon as he left the big tent of the Chinese army, he smelled the tempting aroma of food wafting from the direction of the room.
Smelling this smell, Wei Xiaobei couldn't help laughing, it seems that after his own guidance, the cooking skills of this gang have improved a lot, and it is no longer like the unpleasant smell of boiling water before. (To be continued.) )
