Daqin: Reign in the world

This is indeed a better option for the food-starved Ashhada.

Zhao Tuo, with the Seventh and Sixth Legions, as well as the order to plant soybeans, went north deep into the grassland and built another city. The city is built on the Nan River, and the two places are convenient for water transportation.

The name of the new city, Zhao Tuo specially wrote to the emperor to choose a name.

In the end, the emperor gave a name – Shucheng. Anthracite is beans.

The reclamation warriors all ruled their own city, called Bean City.

Reclamation was not easy, so Zhao Tuo took 170,000 soldiers to clear out a large area of cultivated land, and then sowed seeds.

At this time, Zhao Tuo suddenly issued a call to Buyeo and Sushen and Wo, the aborigines of these places.

As long as you are willing to farm, give the land for nothing, and help build a house.

Although these people can’t farm, they also know that most of the Qin people make a living by farming. It is more stable and prosperous than the life of fishing and hunting.

It is said that it can be twice as rich as those who work in shipyards!

Many people were moved, so they dragged their families to Shucheng.

In fact, whether you are rich or not, it is all Zhao Tuo’s final say. He determined how much land each household would give.

Now that the land has just been reclaimed, there are few people in the land, and Zhao Tuo is also happy to send it.

As long as they are willing to spend their time planting, this income can make the Central Plains farmers jealous to death.

Now in summer, Zhao Tuo looked at the green soybean seedlings on the ground, and his heart was very happy.

There is too much wasteland here, so that he can’t open up the land with the legion for ten years. And there are also many cattle, and they are very cheap, and it is not a problem for a family to raise a few heads.

However, there are not so many people living here, and it can easily become the richest place in the world.

Zhao Tuo also wanted to open, and there was nothing wrong with governing a large area here.

The place here is big, and there is no county guard, county order or anything. And left Ashhada and founded Shucheng. In Shucheng, everything is up to him.

Like a prince, the power is greater than that of the county guard.

If you take advantage of the trend, accumulate the next family business here. In the future, their children and grandchildren will all be wealthy families.

Zhao Tuo also has a son, named Zhao Zhongshi, who is thirteen years old.

This child was born to a Lingnan Vietnamese when he first arrived in Lingnan.

He originally led the 200,000 Lingnan Legion and returned to Xianyang in accordance with the emperor’s holy decree. His wife and children also brought them to Xianyang.

Zhao Tuo went out to fight, and his wife and children have been living in Xianyang.

This time, Zhao Tuo specially asked the emperor to let his eldest son come with him. After all, it’s thirteen years old, it’s time to learn something from yourself.

Yingche did not intend to use Zhao Tuo’s son to blackmail him. So let Zhao Zhongshi come.

Thirteen-year-olds are also already sensible.

Zhao Tuo opened a blacksmith shop in Shucheng and let his son Zhao Zhongshi guard it.

This is Zhao Tuo’s wishful calculation.

He did not dare to do anything on the land, for fear that he would be cleaned up by the Control Yuan at that time. Other big businesses, but also worried that the son is young and will not be able to do it.

Only in the blacksmith shop, Zhao Tuo can make full use of his rights.

Iron plates were brought from Ashhada and turned into various agricultural tools. Uniform numbering, then sold. The numbering thing is that Zhao Tuo is responsible, and then the number can be reported to the household department.

Business is not good.

As long as it was conducive to the reclamation of Shucheng, Sima Xin also turned a blind eye. This gave Zhao Tuo great convenience.

Of course, while Zhao Tuo made money, the most beneficial was the Great Qin Empire.

Being able to quickly use this fertile land is of great significance to the entire Daqin!

Although Zhao Tuo was prosperous, he did not dare to do anything excessive. Now Buyeo, Sushen, and Woyu people, the people’s hearts are all towards Daqin, and they are full of hope for the good days ahead.

But if Zhao Tuo is a little wrong, he will soon be taken down. They may not be able to wait for Sima Xin and Chen Qingzhi to make a move.

Zhao Tuo’s son, Zhao Zhongshi, was indeed very smart and soon found a business opportunity.

Come and consult with his father Zhao Tuo.

“Dad, those who work hard rule people, and those who work hard rule people. Now that everyone wants to use others to work, can you go and grab some slaves and sell them? ”

This question shocked Zhao Tuo!

Although slavery has now been abolished, it has only been abolished within Daqin. In fact, there are still a large number of slaves, and the source of these slaves is prisoners of war!

West of Shucheng, across the Nan River, is a large grassland. There is a real pasture over there, and there are some Donghu remnants scattered, and the Ding Zero people graze their cattle there.

It was easy to capture prisoners of war to work, but he didn’t expect that such a young son would want to do the slave business!

Shucheng is newly built, and at present, there are no outsiders here. The most active is the farm tool business.

But that’s because there was no slave business.

As Zhao Zhongshi said, if there are a large number of slaves sold in Shucheng, I am afraid that many merchants will rush to buy them.

And this proposal, for Shucheng, is a strategic initiative!

Zhao Tuo was amazed at his son’s vision.

I don’t know if he has a talent for this, or is it a mistake?

In any case, you can start this business first.

It’s just a prisoner of war, go out and grab it casually, and there is it.

Xianyang.

At the court, civil and military officials were reporting to the emperor about the recent events.

Wei Yi went out of class.

“Your Majesty, Shuangjing County guarded Li Xin, sent the generals Li Guang and Bu Linghou, invaded the territory of the Qiang people, and found a salt pond. Among them, the salt is made from the sky, there is no need to decoction, and it is everywhere it stands. Li Xinzhuo invited him to send a large army to station and dig the salt pond. ”

The entire western part of Daqin was short of salt.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately shocked the courtiers.

In the past, Daqin was west of Xianyang and did not have many landed populations. Salt is mainly bought Hedongchi salt.

Hedong Chi salt is produced outside the Hangu Pass and was formerly a territory of the Wei state. Wei Guo did not take advantage of this advantage to come to the neck of Qin Guo.

The State of Qin has also always wanted to occupy the land of Hedong and control the salt of Hedong Chiyan in its own hands.

But decades of tug-of-war have not been realized.

Later, it was Li Bing who discovered that the Shu County Province was close to the salt production in Jiangyang County. Digging wells and boiling salt solved the crisis in the Qin Kingdom.

In short, because of the war of salt, the price of salt throughout the west has been ridiculously high.

Further to the northwest border, the Xiongnu and the Yue clan used to have the habit of drinking blood. Just because there is no salt.

Today, Hedongchi salt is under control, and the price of Xianyang salt has fallen slightly.

But at the same time, because of trade with Western countries, salt has always been a scarce material. Many times, it is from Jimo and Langya in Qi Di, and salt is transported here for a long time.

It takes a lot of work.

Now, if Shuangjing can produce salt, for Daqin, with this, he can firmly control the Western countries in his hands!
