    Shannan County, once the most important pass in the northern part of the Qin Dynasty, has now become the territory of the Han Dynasty. The troops of the Third Military Region led by He Lanxiong who attacked Qin from here have left here for more than ten days, but the place is still very lively.  , countless ordnance supplies are still gathered here and sent out every day, and countless caravans are also rushing here along the prairie. The merchants of the Han Dynasty always have the keenest sense of smell. Every time the Han army conquers a place,  The first ones to arrive are always the businessmen.  They were even much faster than the accepting officials sent by the Han Dynasty.  After the war, most places were dilapidated, but at the same time, they were also places where great business opportunities existed.  The business of the Qin State has been almost completely destroyed by the blockade of the Han Dynasty in recent years. From the perspective of Han merchants, these places are completely virgin land. If you take the first step, you can occupy the market first. Now the commercial competition of the Han Dynasty has already  It reached a point where some small businessmen even took great risks and followed the army forward. Of course, the risk was also great. If the Han army was defeated, they would have nowhere to run.  But obviously, the Han army's consecutive battles and victories over the years gave these Han merchants considerable confidence. Although Shannan County was captured not long ago, countless merchants had already flocked to it, and the Qin people in the county were in shock.  , when they still didn¡¯t know what the occupiers would do with plundering them, the merchants had already knocked on their door.  Rent a house, open a shop, set up a warehouse, and first get the good shop in the county. This is what these businessmen are thinking about. When everything is settled, the policies of the Han Dynasty will be implemented one by one.  After the flowering comes here, the value of these street-facing shops will immediately rise like a somersault. For all this, these businessmen are already familiar with it. Shannan County is a little biased and the population is a little smaller.  But after all, it is still a county. Moreover, discerning businessmen have discovered that Shannan County is the key link between the prairie and the mainland of Qin. In the future, stimulated by the economic policies of the Han Dynasty, this place may be the next Dayan County.  .  When the Qin people in the counties and cities smeared the faces of women and children with black ash, tried to hide them in hidden places, and then opened the door in fear.  But they stared dumbfoundedly at the weathered-looking guys waving stacks of brand-new banknotes and shouting: "Make a price, I'll rent your house." What the Han merchants were actually holding in their hands was  The banknotes of the Han Dynasty were not silver notes as the Qin people thought. However, these Qin people, who had little information, did not know that the Han Empire had already abandoned the direct circulation of gold and silver.  Surprised, yet frightened, the Qin people cautiously offered a price. The intruding Han merchants did not bargain at all, but took out two documents from their bags and signed them.  Pay on the spot.  The Qin people in the county and city were worried about the plundering, and Luo Sha did not see it at all. Instead, he rented out the house inexplicably and got a large sum of money, and then he got it.  Officials from the Han Dynasty came to the door one by one. Unlike the officials they remembered who were arrogant and arrogant, these Han officials were quite kind.  Holding a booklet, he quietly inquired about the family details of these people and registered them one by one.  At the end, there was even a bag of food as a gift.  The people of the Qin State in Shannan County are beginning to experience a baptism storm of inherent knowledge in their minds, but the county has undergone tremendous changes in a short period of time. A large number of caravans have poured into the county, and rooms have been rented out.  After the house was simply renovated, countless goods piled up on the shop floor. People in the county and city who were worried about their livelihood immediately discovered that they, the locals, suddenly became a hot commodity, because it takes people to decorate the house, and to unload and stack the goods.  The merchants came, but the number of clerks was not enough, so they had to hire people. After these merchants were busy in the city, they started to run to the market towns below the county. Naturally, they needed acquaintances as guides.  The costs are skyrocketing.  Because there were not many people in Shannan County, and the war caused a considerable loss of population, in a short period of time, the labor costs in the county were almost equivalent to those in the super cities of Han Dynasty.  This enabled the people in Shannan County to earn money in a short period of time that they could not earn in a year before.  The labor shortage in Shannan County has reached an appalling level, which made the new governor who took over the city very angry because he couldn't hire anyone to repair the city walls, houses, and streets. You know, when He Lanxiong attacked Shannan County,  At that time, hundreds of artillery bombardments blasted the city walls into chaos, and the army entered the city. The ordinary residences were not affected much, but important departments like the government office were beaten to a pulp. After the battle, He Lanxiong led  His army slapped its ass and continued to march into the interior, leaving such a bad shoal for the officials who took over. How could they not give the newcomers a headache?  The key point is that the government cannot compete with the merchants. The government cannot pay the labor fees given by the merchants, and the Han Empire is not like previous countries that issued an administrative order.Everything must be done according to the rules, so almost two months have passed, and the new county magistrate still has to live in a dilapidated and drafty government office to handle government affairs all day long.  I hate it so much but I can't do anything.  Fortunately, as the news spread in Shannan County, some people who had fled returned to the county one after another, and the surrounding villagers also began to gather in the city. It was easy to make money in the city.  The influx of a large number of people has alleviated the employment crisis in the county governor's office. The merchants have almost finished their work, and labor costs have begun to fall. Now he can finally start to rectify the chaos in the county town.  When Mingtai took Qin Yijian and several other confidants into Shannan County, what he saw was a bustling scene, as if everywhere in the city had become a construction site, and carts of garbage were pushed out of the city on trolleys, and then  Carloads of white ash and blue bricks were dragged into the city. Looking around, a brand new Shannan County City had already taken shape.  What impressed Mingtai even more was the people whose clothes were still in tatters, but whose faces were filled with smiles.  Once upon a time, all he saw on the faces of the people of Qin was numbness and despair. Such happy smiles from the heart have almost never been seen in recent years.  "Commander Ming, don't underestimate these workers. As far as I know, the money they have earned in the past few months is probably their income in previous years, which is more than my salary!"  Cao Tianci, who received Mingtai, smiled and said: "There are job opportunities everywhere, but there are not enough manpower, so the wages have skyrocketed. It makes me feel like I have to push a small cart for several days." Cao Tianci said with a smile.  He smiled and said that he was proud, because only in Han could he see such a vivid scene.  Mingtai was speechless. In his mind, for such a thing, as long as the government issued an order, countless people could be summoned to do work for free. It was called labor service. It was difficult to understand that the Han government actually did this.  A lot of money will be spent on this.  The houses on both sides of the street are now very different from the past in the image. The doors have been enlarged and the windows have been more than doubled. The shelves inside are filled with a dazzling array of goods. Shannan is now  County seems to be much more lively and prosperous than Xianyang.  Those who crowded in the store to buy things were all ordinary villagers. Their identities could be seen from their clothes. Not long ago, they were ordinary people of Qin State, but now they were buying things from their arms with smiles on their faces.  He took out the big man's banknotes and took away the goods one by one.  "They have earned a lot of money during this period, so they naturally have to treat themselves well. The best-selling products in the city now are cloth, some small accessories, and all kinds of meat." Cao Tianci smiled.  introduced.  "It won't always be as easy to make money as it is now, right? If you earn it quickly and spend it quickly, it will be difficult for you in the future!" Mingtai's voice was slightly sour.  "In our country, as long as you work hard, you can always make money." Cao Tianci said.  "There are many opportunities to make money. Those who have the ability and ideas can make a lot of money, and those who only have a handful of laborers don't have to worry about making ends meet. This is just the beginning. In the future, this place will get better and better." Mingtai  Walking forward in silence, Cao Tianci also knew that it would not be easy to change this person's perception of the Han Empire at once. The policies pursued by the Han Empire, let alone Mingtai, were within the territory of the Han Dynasty  , there are still different voices, and His Majesty is tolerant. He not only allows these people to beep in the newspapers, but when they are interested, he actually writes an article to debate with them. In Cao Tianci's view, such a guy is  It would be better to arrest him directly as a traitor with the intention of subverting the government.  Mingtai suddenly stopped and looked straight at one place. Cao Tianci was slightly stunned and followed his gaze. At the corner of the street, there was a stall selling Liangpier. This was  The specialty of the Old Qin people is not common even in Shannan County.  ¡°Commander Ming, you must be hungry too, why don¡¯t I treat you to some cold skin!¡± Cao Tianci said with a smile.  ¡°Minister Cao also likes this bite?¡± Mingtai was startled and asked.  "It's not that I love this bite, but that this thing is famous. To be honest, I don't eat much, but seeing the commander Ming's look, I want to try it."  I'm afraid it won't be so easy to taste the authentic Lao Qin Liangpi'er again," Mingtai said with emotion.  Cao Tianci smiled. Mingtai wanted to go to Xinqin, which was indeed a big deal. Xinqin was making small moves now, but there was no need for the big man to quarrel with them now. Didn't Wang Jian want Mingtai?  , just give it to him. Mingtai's departure from Xianyang will have an obvious impact on the current Qin regime. As for the future, Cao Tianci does not believe that Xin Qin can rise to the top. After all, over the years, Xin Qin's long-term arrangements have been  , the big man never stopped.  (To be continued.) Mobile phone users please visit http://m.piaotia.net
