Destiny Only Han

Chapter 534 Liu Ying: It's altruistic for me and others, but in the end it's altruistic for me...

"We are looking for a labor agency with a high salary!"

Hearing Kuai Che's words, not only Ji Xin was stunned, but even the magistrate of Fushun County, who came to watch the fun, also stayed where he was, blinking hard, and couldn't believe his ears.

After waiting for a while, Kuai Che stroked his beard and said, "The Yelang Kingdom is a tribal alliance, a country composed of hundreds of thousands of large and small tribes united together. You all know this, right?"

Ji Xin and Fushun county magistrate nodded slightly.

This point, they have already understood through the torture and interrogation of the captured Yelang businessman these days, otherwise Ji Xin would not have thought about sending troops to disband this illegal organization when the tribal leaders of the Yelang country gathered... …

Kuai Che went on to say: "According to His Royal Highness, a considerable part of the Yelang Kingdom is also descended from our Zhuxia tribes. For example, the current Yelang King is the Tian family!"

"Tian family?" Ji Xin tilted his head and opened his mouth wide: "Qi Guotian family?"

Kuai Che smiled slightly: "No, it is the Tian family of Chu State. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a doctor named 'Ta Cheng' in the State of Chu. The Tian family of the Lang Kingdom. After all, the Yelang Kingdom at that time could be regarded as the sphere of influence of the Chu Kingdom, so the Chu people were naturally a prominent family in the Yelang Kingdom."

"It's a pity that in a world of great strife, rituals and music are broken, and disputes between countries continue. When the land in the middle of Guizhou in Chu State was captured by Qin State, not only the Chu army who expeditioned to Dian Kingdom could not return, even Yelang's Tian family could not return." Became a rootless duckweed, finally assimilated by the natives, and became Yelang's appearance..."

Well, this was compiled by Liu Ying. The Tian family of Yelang Wang is not fake, but it should not have much relationship with Chu people, but this is not important. Anyway, Yelang Wang doesn’t read much, so he is easy to deceive...

In the shock of Ji Xin and others, Kuai Che said again: "Since Yelang and Han come from the same origin, there is a possibility that both sides can use their swords as much as possible. The important thing is that Yelang people spread rumors about their The patriarch is a descendant of the gods, with high prestige, he speaks for himself, and has the power of life and death in the clan, and the clansmen only follow him!"

"If we send troops to capture and kill the leaders of Yelang's tribes, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating and arouse Yelang people's resistance! At that time, there will be enemies everywhere in the mountains and mountains, and we will repeat the mistakes of the Qin people in the past! So His Royal Highness has made a plan. , might as well treat each other generously, it’s all a good alliance, and formally open business..."

"Business?" Fushun county magistrate frowned and asked, "What kind of business? Didn't you say that you need to hire a labor agency with a high salary? Why are you talking about business promotion?"

Ji Xin also nodded in agreement. When he heard Kuai Che's words for trade, what he instinctively thought of was population trade, but the Yelang Kingdom was different from the Thorn People. Pow for sale.

But although the Yelang Kingdom is a tribal alliance-style country, there is order after all, and exchanging materials for slaves will definitely not work!

Kuai Che smiled and said, "That's right, that's why I have to come all the way from Guanzhong? Although I am dismounting to rule the army, I can lose my teacher and humiliate the country, dismounting to rule the people, and the people are not able to live... But I have a sharp tongue. , Manipulating and manipulating people's hearts, this is the strong point of my Guigu family!"

"For example, Zhang Yi in the past, or Su Qin in the past, when he was angry, the princes feared, but when he lived in peace, the world rested..."

He said, full of nostalgia.

For strategists, it is still a comfortable time in the world of great disputes, disputes among nations, wars and disasters, it is a good time for them to show their talents like a fish in water!
Well, to make an analogy, the Zongheng family belongs to the owner who does not want others to live well. When the road in the village is smooth, he will dig a hole quietly, and when the walls of other people's houses are well repaired, he will dig a hole.

In this way, everyone became suspicious of each other and started to fight against each other. They happened to wander around in various forces, eating the east and the west, realizing what they had learned in their chests, and enjoying the glory and wealth by the way...

That's why Kuai Che pushed Han Xin to become king on his own back then!

In fact, self-reliance as king is only the first step of Kuai Che's plan. He is also planning to encourage Han Xin to become a third party in the Chu-Han dispute, maintaining the balance between Chu and Han. When Chu becomes stronger, he will help Han. When the country is strong, help Chu...

In this way, the war will be endless, and he can also leave his name in history and become a person like Zhang Yi and Su Qin!
It's a pity that Liu Ying caught him in the gold mine just after the first step of his plan...

Well, with the same treatment as him, there is also Wu She who persuaded Han Xin to join Chu, and severely belittled Liu Bang...

Therefore, when the two strategists came out again, Xiang Yu was almost at Gaixia...

Now, Liu Ying gave him a chance. Although Yelang Country is small, he doesn't dislike it, and he will definitely turn him upside down!
Seeing that Kuai Che didn't want to say more, Ji Xin didn't ask any more questions, but just asked: "Then, is there anything I can do for you?"

"That's the case, thank you." Kuai Che bowed his hands and carefully said his words: "I need to form a horse team, bring more salt, silk... As for spirits, I have already brought several barrels, this kind of thing needs to be controlled. , it’s worthless if there are too many!”

The magistrate of Fushun laughed, and pointed backwards: "We don't know anything else, just how much salt you need!"

For him, it doesn't matter whether he is in war with Yelang Kingdom or not. The important thing is to sell the mountain of salt so that he can accumulate political achievements and make further progress.

Today's Han Empire began to monopolize salt and iron decades earlier, especially table salt. Nearly half of the shares in the salt wells in Fushun County are owned by the state.

With the advancement of well-opening technology and the proficiency of salt-making technology, the cost of a stone of white salt is only more than 20 yuan, but the price has increased by nearly ten times. In many places with bad roads, the price of a stone of table salt is common. At around two hundred yuan, it has increased by seventy or eighty yuan compared to the beginning of the founding of the country.

Well, this is mainly due to the inflation caused by the currency reform.

After all, the currency in circulation in the past was half a tael weighing twelve baht, but now it is five baht. The weight of precious metals has dropped a lot, and the money is naturally worthless.

But more importantly, many copper mines that have not been discovered before have been mined one after another under the help of Liu Ying. When there are more copper coins circulating in the market, the value of the coins will depreciate again.

And this kind of inflation is actually good for curbing the powerful.

After all, under the control of the government, grain prices will not fluctuate greatly.

Without the participation of chemical fertilizers and high-quality seeds in agricultural production, the annual output is actually very stable. The price of land is naturally as stable as Mount Tai, and hoarding will not work.

In this way, a large number of farmland mergers has become a very uneconomical thing.

After all, under inflation, if the price of a certain commodity hoarded does not rise, it is undoubtedly equivalent to depreciation. The same is true for currency, land, and housing.

Therefore, without wanton annexation of land, there would not be a large number of landless refugees, and without refugees, society would become very stable.

Coupled with the principle that blockage is worse than sparseness, hot money must always have a flow, so there are endless port development bonds, mine development bonds, and manor development bonds...

Although the entire Han Empire was inflated, it was thriving...

Kuai Che walked into the salt field behind Fushun county magistrate, seeing the neatly stacked paper bags of table salt, he became more confident about his upcoming trip to Yelang Kingdom.

Yelang, that is, most of Guizhou in later generations, although rich in products, has always been short of salt, from ancient times to the founding of New China.

After all, salt, a special resource, is either obtained from the sea, or from salt wells or salt lakes, and Guizhou perfectly avoids any salt wells or salt lakes...

Therefore, there is the saying of "Dou Mi Jin Yan", and because of this, they can't eat salt, but for the sake of eating, they can eat spicy food, as well as zheergen with a very strange taste...

Kuai Che's trip to Yelang country to discuss business is to open the way with salt, and even donate it free of charge, in order to complete the plan of "highly paid labor intermediaries".

The labor intermediary naturally refers to the big and small leaders of the Yelang Kingdom.

Free trade between the two sides, labor should also flow freely.

But for those leaders, the tribe is not only their relatives, but also their wealth, so they have to add money...

Liu Ying's idea, of course, is to give them some benefits, and then recruit cheap labor from Yelang to come to Shu County to mine salt wells and open up land...

Today's Han Dynasty is different from the Western-style slave society. Apart from the lack of personal freedom, slaves in the Han Dynasty have other rights.

For example, the right to life, the right to property, that is, when working, you can't just eat, you have to pay wages every day...

Especially in Guantian, or Yanjing in Fushun County, there will be five to six copper coins as salary every day to pay rent and clothes...

Therefore, Kuai Che has two contracts in his pocket.

One is a recruitment contract signed with the Yelang people, including food and housing, and the daily salary is not lower than that of slaves in the Han Empire.

The other is an intermediary contract signed with the leaders of the Yelang Kingdom. Every time they help the Han Empire recruit a worker, they can get a sum of head money as a reward, and they will also get three points of the worker's monthly income. One of them is used as commission.

In this way, they will naturally not reject Kuai Che's kindness, and for their own benefit, they will force their own people to go to Han to work as laborers...

In this way, Liu Ying obtained tens of thousands of cheap labor, the high-level officials of Yelang Kingdom obtained money, the salt in Fushun County had buyers, and the people of Yelang also obtained employment.

No one suffers!
But, is that really the case?
When the people of Yelang Kingdom opened their eyes in the Han Empire, they knew that there was another way of life in the world, and they understood who was the leech lying on them.

Yelang Kingdom will be transformed from the bottom up.

At that time, Liu Ying has accumulated enough officials to set up counties and counties, and then cultivate some leading parties in Yelang Kingdom, and hold a wave of 'referendum', and then she can get this big country with a population of millions without bloodshed!
