I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 810, high prices
The high prices in Guihua City shocked these gold diggers. They found that if they wanted to eat, they had to go back to the fleet. The money in their hands was not enough to live here for a day.

At this time, Zhang Baiqi and his subordinates appeared. They greeted these gold diggers warmly first, and if they found fellow villagers, they even warmly entertained them to visit their homes!

And this excites the gold diggers who are living in a foreign land. Sure enough, they still have to rely on their fellow villagers when they go out.

When they came to the homes of fellow villagers, these people then understood how their fellow villagers were treated in the New World.

Not only do they have their own small building, three wives and four concubines are their standard equipment, and there are thousands of acres of land in the countryside, which can be said to be a small rich man in Ji.

And these people said proudly: "This is nothing at all. There are a lot of fields here, and the generals don't restrict us to open up wasteland. We can open up as much as we want?"

The gold digger Chi asked, "What if we can't plant it?"

The fellow said proudly: "I still have 10 native tenants under my command. I just need to guide them to farm. There are few natives now, so I have these lands. When there are more natives, I can cultivate more. Land! At that time, I will build a new courtyard here, and go to the city to build a small three-story building!"

Such rhetoric makes the gold diggers envious. Most of the people in Dagan are farmers, and what farmers want to be the most is not a worker, but a landlord. It’s just that the landlord was not allowed to appear in the Dagan Dynasty, but now his The villagers are living the life they want most!
In the end, the fellow persuaded: "Although panning for gold makes money, it is impossible for you to have so much land. You can only become a farmer when you return to Jidu. Why don't you stay here? What the generals in Guihua City lack most are us big With the support of Gan Ren, as long as you stay and keep it for your brother, everyone can become a small rich man and live a life of three wives and four concubines!"

Such words did not appear only in this place, but in many places, many gold diggers were tempted by such words and stayed in Guihua City.

Don't talk about it, there are only 100 people, you are such a big person, you actually deceived a small person like me!

However, the development of this city is extremely deformed. There is only a small amount of industry, and the fields are only more than 100 million mu, and half of the population is panning for gold.

In this place where supplies are poor but there is a lot of gold, huge inflation soon formed. The price of flour in Guihua City exceeded 1300 yuan, which is already a breakthrough, but in Jinshan, it has already exceeded 2000 yuan. , it can be said that the price of goods is even higher than that of naturalization. If Zhuge Liang hadn't decisively introduced the food stamp system to control prices, the price of food in Jinshan would have skyrocketed.Therefore, the cargo of the Cui family caravan can be regarded as solving the big problem of Jinshan.

It’s just that Xu Hao was a little hesitant. It’s not about letting the Governor’s Mansion pick up the gold diggers, but also letting the workers and peasants pick up the gold diggers. He thinks this method seems a bit too much.

Three days later, the housekeeper counted the number of immigrants and found that there were 300 people missing. This made the housekeeper look at Zhang Baiqi with resentment.

But Zhang Baiqi said with a helpless face: "There are many people who say that they can't bear the life at sea and want to stay in Guihua City, so you go and tell Xu Hao that my uncle wants him 200 more people! "

Jinshan is considered the largest city in the New World, with a total of 8 to 10 natives and Dagans, and it will become the first city in the New World with a population exceeding [-] within two years.

After Zhang Baiqi clapped his hands, a few soldiers came over with two boxes, opened them, and suddenly a golden light came out!
Zhang Baiqi said: "This gold is your hard work!"

Again, in a place full of savages, even farmers and workers are high-level technical personnel.

But Zhuge Liang didn't want Jinshan's prices to keep soaring. He wanted to find a way to stabilize Jinshan's prices.To achieve this, one is to transport a large amount of goods from Jidu to Jinshan, and the other is to find a way to allow Jinshan to produce a large amount of materials. In Zhuge Liang's opinion, this is the fundamental solution. And to achieve this, we must find a way to arrange manpower among the two industries of workers and peasants!
Sima Yi on the side sneered and said, "I think the current high price is just right. On the one hand, it can absorb the gold from the gold diggers and reduce their income, and the income will be obtained by the people who work and farm. Only in this way can we attract more money." The people work and farm!
The second is to attract a large number of sea merchants to help us transport goods. Although there are many goods with more than ten times the profit in sea trade, such goods are extremely rare.There are very few goods like grain that can buy millions of stones at a time and can still guarantee profits. The price of our Jinshan goods is more than ten times higher than that of Daqian inland. Do you think maritime merchants will swarm in! "

What Sima Yi meant was to control the price of Jinshan through the goods in their hands, absorb the profits of gold diggers with high prices, and transfer these profits to agriculture and industry, so that Jinshan can become a normal city!

Zhuge Liang said: "Now, the most important thing is to resettle these immigrants! It is best to let them farm and work in Jinshan with peace of mind! The labor efficiency of the savages is too low, and three people are not worth a big man. It is best to have someone guide them." They work to open up wasteland!"

What can the steward say, he can only leave here with these golds, and at the same time swear to never come here again!
Five days later, the Cui family's fleet arrived at Jinshan City!
Then the butler immediately reported to Xu Hao about being bullied in Guihua City!
Xu Hao also looked helpless when he heard the news, he could only comfort the steward and said: "Uncle Zhang and the others are also here to develop a new continent, and the same is true where they are and here!"

However, he also felt that this policy is most suitable for Jinshan now. Jinzhu cannot drink or eat when hungry. In Jinshan, it is not an adjective, but a reality.If these gold diggers are not forced to the fields, Jinshan cannot become a normal city.

At this time, the butler said, "My lord, if the goods we bring are calculated at the price of Jinshan, we can earn 3000 million yuan. Such a high profit is enough to attract the entire sea merchants to come to trade!"

Xu Hao also feels a little bit about this point. Jinshanshi also has sea merchants coming here from time to time. They don’t know that the price here is high, but they want to buy gold here. Of course, such sea ships can’t come empty. They They brought a large amount of grain, cloth and ironware, but they did not expect that these goods sold for more than ten times the profit, which was more than what they earned from arbitrage gold.

Therefore, when these sea merchants return to the voyage, they will only keep the minimum supplies, and all other goods will be sold to the Governor's Mansion.
