Chapter 355

This is certainly not a perfect system, but it is much better than what the Empire is currently doing.

This is Cheng Dalei referring to many things in his previous life, and then discussing and summarizing them together, and finally came up with the results, even He Shen couldn't help but admire it.

Many entry points are refreshing, but they can bring a lot of food for thought to people like He Shen.

"All of these things were come up with by the big bosses themselves?" asked He Shen in disbelief.

"Can't you? Cheng Dalei lowered his voice: "Tell you quietly, this is all what the fairy said to me in his dream." ”

"Uh......"

He Shen is inevitably speechless, and it is okay for ghosts and gods to fool ordinary people, but for a smart person like He Shen, he naturally doesn't believe a word.

In this way, he can only think that the big boss is too low-key, and even re-evaluates Cheng Dalei's wisdom in his heart. I even have a feeling of "worthy of the man I value".

And in this process, the negotiations between Toad Village and Liangzhou City are still ongoing, and this matter is completely in charge of He Shen.

In order to deal with this person, Liangzhou City took out a whole negotiation team, led by Song Bokang himself. But even so, he was defeated at the hands of He Shen, the first traitor of the Manchu Dynasty.

Liangzhou City sent ransom five times in succession, each time more than the other, and each time the hope was greater, and he felt that he could pick up Song Youqu and the others.

The result was the same disappointment.

and adults use the procrastination trick to the limit, squeezing the bottom line of Liangzhou again and again. In the end, he was tossed to death, and he didn't even know how to accept the conditions proposed by He Shen.

Song Youqu, Xue Wenting and others were placed under house arrest in Qinchuan Pass as hostages, and Toad Village ensured that they would live a normal life and would not be bullied. Liangzhou can send people to visit once a month, of course, they live here is not for nothing, Liangzhou has to provide a living allowance to the toad village.

But after Cheng Dalei saw the conditions negotiated in the end, he was also stunned for a long time, and finally looked at He Shen with unbelievable eyes.

"They agreed?"

"Well, it's a pleasure to agree, and they're happy with the result. ”

"How could they agree, and be happy?" Cheng Dalei was a little incredulous.

"Because that's what they've worked so hard for. Seeing that Cheng Dalei still didn't understand, He Shen explained: "We have to lower their expectations first, they planned to take people back safely at the beginning, how can there be such a good thing in the world." As soon as I said that I would throw these people into the mines to do their labor, they immediately agreed. ”

Cheng Dalei smacked his tongue more than once, this Heshen is really a talent, this kind of wisdom can't be learned no matter how much you read or how much you walk, people are born to do this.

"By the way, there is one more thing, Liangzhou wants to order a batch of weapons from us, the quantity is very large, should we sell them to them?"

"Sell, why don't you sell, give as much as you want. ”

"And the price?"

"What is the price of selling to the Rong people, what is the price of selling to Liangzhou City, we must be free of bullying, fair and kind. ”

Cheng Dalei is very satisfied with Heshen's existence, since he joined the cottage, everything in the cottage has become orderly and progressing in an orderly manner.

Under the auspices of He Shen, Toad Village maintained friendly relations even with Liangzhou City. At least, it's a semblance of friendliness. Liangzhou City ordered a large number of weapons from Cheng Dalei, Cheng Dalei guaranteed quality and quantity, and the cooperation between the two sides was quite pleasant.

One after another, displaced people moved from other places, and they settled outside the Qinchuan Pass, cut down trees to build houses, and reclaimed wasteland, and the Qinchuan Pass gradually became popular.

There is a demand for people, and demand promotes the development of business. Caravans, large and small, came from thousands of miles away, bringing porcelain, silk, tea and other items that were special products of the empire, in exchange for animal skins, horses, herbs and other things on the grassland.

Even Song Bokang had to admit that Qinchuan was in the hands of Cheng Dalei and was a hundred times stronger than when it was in the hands of Mo Mingmi.

Of course, Cheng Dalei was not confused by the prosperity in front of him, and while developing commerce, agriculture, and manufacturing, Cheng Dalei did not forget about the military.

At present, there are more than 10,000 troops stationed in Qinchuan Pass alone, and Cheng Dalei is not in a hurry to expand the troops, although he is not without this strength. For this army, Cheng Dalei has repeatedly tempered it, which can be called a thousand tempers, and the purpose is to train them into an invincible elite soldier.

The villages and towns outside the Guanxi sent middle-aged men to form a militia, and Guan Yu personally sent people to train them. With the quality of the soldiers of this era, I am afraid that the combat effectiveness of these militias can surpass the city defense armies in various places.

Kotogawa Pass said that there were only 10,000 soldiers at present, but if it really entered a state of war, the actual number of people who could be mobilized would far exceed this number.

Time is like a white horse, the twisted fingers are gone, and in a blink of an eye it is the autumn of this year.

This year, the wind and rain in Qinchuan were smooth, there was no war, there was no famine, and the tens of thousands of acres of wasteland reclaimed in Qinchuan were harvested.

Rice, sorghum, and soybeans fill the granaries of each family. The Qinchuan Pass had to collect a tax of 20%, which was levied according to the amount of land per household, which was simply too light compared to the various harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the empire today.

At the same time, Qinchuan Pass also purchased the grain in everyone's hands at a fixed price, and the money obtained in exchange for purchasing meat, silk and tea, which also promoted the commercial development of Toad Village.

Once you have money, your popularity will get better and better. This kind of thing is the same for one person, and the same is for one family. Cheng Dalei maintained a good relationship with the surrounding cities and border passes.

Dealing with each other's materials, each taking what he needs, in business, Qinchuan Pass has a good reputation.

Everyone took the initiative to ignore the fact that Cheng Dalei was a bandit, and Cheng Dalei was indeed a border guard of the imperial court. In this kind of thing, everyone knows how to pretend to be confused.

Even with Liangzhou City, Cheng Dalei did not fall out. Song Bokang purchased weapons and horses from Qinchuan Pass, and purchased a large amount of grain after the grain harvest. If you don't think about it, Song Bokang's own son is still being held hostage in Qinchuan Pass, and the cooperation between the two sides is quite pleasant.

And every month, Song Bokang also sent people to visit Song Youqu, according to the people who went, Song Youqu did not receive any discrimination or abuse in Qinchuan Pass, and enjoyed all the rights of a basic resident, except that he could not leave Qinchuan Pass.

In the past year, according to the people who went there, Song Gongzi has changed a lot. Originally, he was a character who did not touch the spring water with ten fingers, and he looked humble and polite, but in fact, he was arrogant. But under the tempering of Cheng Dalei, people have become more and more solid, and their knowledge and knowledge have grown a lot.

Sometimes Song Bokang even thinks that maybe his son is being trained by Cheng Dalei, which is a blessing or a curse for him.
