Great Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 83
In addition to providing a series of benefits for the local people, Zuo Ming also made a lot of articles on the westward migration of the population in China.

As long as the people of the Tang Dynasty have no land or property in the middle land, he will provide them with free carriages and horses, and take them to live in Xirong Road.

Even if you are a beggar, as long as you have a full set of identity certificates, the people from Zuo's firm will arrange for you to come to Xirong Road as soon as possible.

Here, Zuo Ming will give you a house, a field, and cattle and sheep!But you have to work for him for five years!

Within five years, your food, drink, clothing, and life are all covered, but your fields must have enough production, and your cattle and sheep must be more and more!Of course, all these harvests belong to Zuo Ming!
After five years, if you have enough assets and want to go back, Zuo Ming will not stop you.Same as when you came here, the left-man will send you away for free!All the way to your hometown.

Zuo Ming's set of policies immediately attracted a large number of middle-earth vagrants.

These people's homes were either destroyed by natural disasters or man-made disasters. They had almost reached the point where they had nowhere to go, and some even had been begging along the street for a long time.When they saw Zuo Ming asking Li Shimin to help him send the notice to all over the country, those people cried directly.Some people even chanted the slogan "Your Majesty has not forgotten us"!

This can be regarded as an unexpected gain for Li Shimin to help Zuo Ming.

However, Li Shimin was overjoyed, but Zuo Ming turned dark.

There is no way, the money is paid by him, and the work is done by him. Li Shimin just put out a usury loan, and he has already gained both fame and fortune. How can he not be angry?

Of course, this time is not the time to care about.Zuo Ming has already made up his mind, and when he repays the money in the future, the interest will definitely not be given.

Zuo Ming spent money recklessly there, and Li Tai was terrified when he saw it.His glass workshop and quilt workshop have now spread all over the country, but the money he earns is not enough for half of Zuo Ming's half-month expenses.

This is also his own miscalculation. For the so-called great voyage plan, he gave all the property rights to Zuo Ming, so now he is equivalent to working for Zuo Ming.

It's not that Li Tai never thought of stopping Zuo Ming's crazy behavior, but he was stopped by Li Chengqian.

Just kidding, if Zuo Ming did this, he would benefit the most. How could he let Li Tai spoil his good deed?However, white wolf with empty gloves is definitely not acceptable. In order to show his sincerity, Li Chengqian used his power and gave him all the wool of Xirong Road.

Although Li Tai was worthless, it was impossible for him to be defeated by this pile of wool, but Li Chengqian had expressed his opinion, so he had no choice but to leave.

Li Tai thought Zuo Ming was crazy, and Li Shimin and Queen Changsun naturally thought he was too crazy.

After two phases of investment, Zuo Ming has already spent nearly 2000 million yuan in the entire Xirong Road.This is equivalent to the tax revenue of the entire Tang Dynasty a year ago!

Empress Changsun personally wrote a letter to persuade Zuo Ming, but Zuo Ming smiled lightly and ignored it.

How could he lose money?

He is playing a big game of chess, but no one can understand it!

First is the bazaar.On the surface, he let go of the policy and let everyone participate in the competition, but in fact it was to invigorate the stagnant water of Xirong Road.

Xirong Dao is still very poor. If he wants to build in Xirong Dao, he has to go to Zhongtu to buy various materials. If he goes there, the shipping cost will be an astronomical figure.

Now those merchants from Jiangnan, Huainan, and even Guanzhong have come to Xirong Road with a large amount of supplies, so he can save a lot of manpower and material resources.Also, the more they sell, the more they buy.Because of the Middle Earth, the demand for cattle and sheep is endless!
And where did those cattle and sheep come from?

If nothing else!At least half of them will be from Zuo Ming!For at least five years for sure!Because he has abducted a large number of people from Middle-earth to help him farm and herd sheep!

Five years, God knows how many sweet potatoes and cattle and sheep those people can produce?

Moreover, if those people want to live better in Xirong Road, they must find additional work besides farming and herding sheep, because the harvest of their fields and the products of cattle and sheep are all privately owned by Zuo Ming, and they will not Bring them any wealth.

If they want to find a job so that they have spare money, they will have to work for Zuo Ming and help with the construction of the Dafeichuan Market and its surrounding areas.This is a rare cheap labor.

With this kind of labor, if he wanted to provide housing for those Han-Tibetan intermarried families, he would not have to spend much money.

Then there is the so-called compulsory education.This matter seems to be a purely loss-making business, but with the material communication between the East and the West, these Tibetans will soon become rich.And once they become rich and realize the benefits of studying, they will no longer be satisfied with just five years of compulsory education.

At that time, Li Shimin will hold another imperial examination, and Zuo Ming will make a recruitment rule for diplomas. Why don't they rush to spend money to go to the school set up by Zuo Ming?

Those teachers signed the "deed of selling themselves", and all the money that followed naturally fell into Zuo Ming's pocket!And from now on, he will have many more practical talents!Help him continue to build Xirong Road!

As for the troupe's performance, it is even more obvious. He just wants all the people in Xirong Road to like this art form.

The Dafeichuan Theater is his, and he will recruit some Tibetan girls and boys to perform in the future, and most of the money he earns will naturally go into his pocket.

This is like an ecosystem. Separated separately, the loss may be great, but in fact, after a complicated cycle, it has been made up again, but few people can see it clearly.

Zuo Ming spared no effort in investing and contributing, and Ma Zhou was the happiest one.These things will be his achievements in the future and the capital for his promotion.Zuo Ming, the better Xi Rong Dao is rectified, the greater his ability will be affirmed.

Therefore, Zuo Ming gave the green light to all policy requirements.

Government-business cooperation is the easiest way to get rich.

When Zuo Ming's inns and restaurants sprang up like bamboo shoots in the major towns of Xirong Road, Zuo Ming finally changed from full expenditure to little income.

At that time, he finally returned to Chang'an with peace of mind.

Back in Chang'an, Zuo Ming directly arranged for the ribbon-cutting and operation of the Yong'an County Wharf as soon as the Chinese New Year was over.

But at this time, news suddenly came from Xirong Road, saying that a large number of Tibetans had fled from the south. Those people were in a panic, as if they had experienced war.When asked where they came from, they only said that they were the people of the Marquis of Yong'an County.

It wasn't just Ma Zhou who was stunned, Li Shimin was also at a loss after receiving the news.At that time, Zuo Ming was called to ask him what was going on.

Zuo Ming knew this in his heart, so he immediately told about Zhang Zhuong.

Hearing that Tubo killed Xiangxiong in just a few months, Li Shimin was finally moved, and then complained, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier?"

For Li Shimin's complaint, Zuo Ming just smiled sarcastically.At that time, he was raped and suffered physical and mental injuries. How could he expect to tell Li Shimin?I thought it was too late to forget about it.

"It seems that I have to make preparations early! Tubo wiped out Xiangxiong, and Xi Rongdao and the others will definitely not let it go! Prepare more grenades later!"

Li Shimin didn't get too obsessed with Zuo Ming's knowledge of not telling, but leaned over to look at his desk.There, a landform model of the Western Regions made of plasticine was lying flat.

"Your Majesty, actually dealing with Tubo doesn't need to be so troublesome. As the saying goes, plan to kill soldiers and plan to kill the heart. The best way to deal with Tubo is to use soft knives. This time so many Tibetans flooded into Xirong Road, there must be many of them It is a spy of Tubo.

Let's use them to pass everything about Xirong Road to the people of Tubo, and let them see the difference between living under the rule of the Tang Dynasty and living under the rule of Tubo.

Without comparison, where would there be harm?Seeing that the wool that is of no use to them has turned directly into wool, and seeing that the people of Xirong Road have cotton-padded quilts to keep warm, and various delicacies and playthings spread from the Middle Earth, I don't believe they will Not excited.

As long as they are moved, we will open up bilateral trade!They have no coins, so naturally they have to use our copper coins!They have no written language, so naturally they have to learn our Chinese characters, otherwise they will not be able to sign a contract with us!

Your Majesty, think about it, if all kinds of treasures in Tubo are turned into copper coins and contracts, and if Tubo goes to war with our Tang Dynasty, what will happen? "

Said darkly, Zuo Ming lightly tossed the copper coin in his hand, "This thing, if we don't admit it, it's just a piece of copper. If you eat copper, you can beat our Tang Tiejun who grew up eating meat , then my Tang Dynasty is too useless!"

"This plan is very good! You can tie Tubo firmly to my Tang Dynasty without a single soldier! As long as the time is right, those Tibetans will admit the superiority of my Tang Dynasty in their hearts, and that will be me. It’s the best time for the Tang Dynasty to win Tubo! I want to see how many Tubo people will be willing to resist by then!”

Li Shimin applauded immediately, but then he looked at Zuo Ming strangely, "It's a good plan, but I'm afraid the copper coins of the Tang Dynasty are not enough!"

"So! We need silver mines! Lots and lots of silver mines!" With a light smile, he tossed the copper coins in his hand again, and Zuo Ming winked at Li Shimin.

In the eyes of Zuo Ming, the Tibetan compatriots are his own. Li Shimin is so quiet that he wants to move, so he naturally has to find a target for him.

Let me ask, besides Japan, there is another country that Zuo Ming can conquer without even a trace of psychological pressure!
"That's right! We need a lot of silver mines! And last year when Wanbang came to court, this damn Dongpu didn't come! You really despise Tianwei! You should be punished!"

Seeing Zuo Ming's humble expression, Li Shimin also smiled, and endless divine light burst out in his eyes.

He has people, enough money and food for him to fight for a year, and he even has a reason to hit the door!Now, he was just short of the boat.

Although he would definitely be knocked on the bamboo pole by Zuo Ming, it doesn't matter, this kid still owes him a debt!Take it as a payment!
