Chapter 633 The New Government

After hearing Xia Wanchun's words, Sun Kewang felt a lot of pressure inside.

If this continues, Chenliu County will set the tail of the crane, and he will definitely not accept this situation.

After learning about Xia Wanchun's actions, Sun Kewang suddenly understood Gao Huan's heroic spirit.

With Liang's style of conduct, the country cannot do without wealth.

At this moment, Sun Kewang simply put down his burden, followed Xia Wanchun, dressed as a farmer, and went deep into the fields to see how he did in Qi County.

Xia Wanchun personally guides the people when building earthen houses and sorting out land.

Among the group of people he brought, several of them were dressed in gorgeous clothes and high hats, which were all businessmen invited by Xia Wanchun from Jiangnan.

The first Liang State Official Conference ended successfully, and the contents of the meeting gave businessmen an opportunity.

Now that Jiangnan has been saturated and developed, and eastern Henan has a large area of ​​undeveloped land. The merchants hit it off with Xia Wanchun and wanted to build Qi County into a raw material production area.

Sun Kewang saw Xia Wanchun and the people get together, and then took the drawings to introduce to the merchants what they are like and what they are like, and they can't help but fall into deep inferiority.

At noon, Xia Wanchun and the merchants finished reading the plan of Qi County. Several merchants said on the spot that they would add tens of thousands of taels to expand the scale of cotton and linen cultivation and required Qi County to ensure their raw materials supply.

This made Sun Kewang stunned. The first time he saw him, the merchant rushed to pay for his own money without a knife.

"Magistrate Sun! I prepared wine and food in the county government office to entertain merchants in Jiangnan. Do you want to have a drink too?" Xia Wanchun said with a smile.

"No! There are still many things to do in the county!" Sun Kewang bowed, "Magistrate Xia! Thank you this time!"

Xia Wanchun smiled and said, "It is all right among colleagues. Moreover, Qi County and Chen Liu are around, and there are still many places that need cooperation at that time."

"Hahaha~ It will definitely happen then!" Sun Kewang laughed for a while and bowed, "I have something to do. Next time, Xia Magistrate Xia comes to Chenliu, I will treat you to a meal."

Xia Wanchun smiled and bowed, "Magistrate Sun was willing to do so."

At that moment, Sun Kewang led Wang Wenda back and learned about the situation in each county from him on the way.

Now his Chenliu County has undoubtedly come to the back.

However, Sun Kewang was smart. As soon as Xia Wanchun said, he followed and saw that he understood and knew what to do.

The money and food provided by the vassal states were not enough to rebuild. If the people were to stay, they should first promote it. The Liang army would not let Jiannu enter Henan again. Secondly, they should find ways to make money for the people to make money and make them feel that their lives would be better in the future.

Sun Kewang understood, but it was actually very difficult to do it.

After all, he did not understand the situation of Liang State and had no connections or resources.

It is actually unfair to ask Gao Huan to compare him with people like Xia Wanchun.

Xia Wanchun is a native of Jiangnan. His family is a gentry and has a wide range of connections and resources. As a surrendered minister, he struggled alone and it was difficult for him to gain resources and investment.

At this time, Sun Kewang walked back and said to Wang Wenda: "After returning to the county, we must also think of ways to see if we can contact several workshops and ask them to provide the county with some money and grain to help resettle the people."

Wang Wenda said: "Master, Xia Magistrate is a great family in Jiangnan. Those merchants believed in him and agreed to give him money and food first, but we may not do it."

Sun Kewang frowned, "Didn't you study in Nanjing? Let's go and try it. If it really doesn't work, I'll find Xia Wanchun to see if he can help!"

Wang Wenda nodded, "Then you go to Jiangnan."

At this time, Sun Kewang asked again: "The vassal state is in Yanshi, is there an iron factory?"

Wang Wenda nodded, "Yanshi does have state-owned mines and smelters..."

Wang Wenda said halfway, and suddenly said, "What the master means is to find an iron-clad job for the people!"

After breaking the inherent thinking, both of them became active.

Sun Kewang nodded slightly, and the two of them talked and soon arrived by the river.

At this time, more than a hundred men and women saw them coming, and stood up one after another, "Master!"

Sun Kewang waved his hand, "Don't be afraid, don't be nervous. Now I know your concerns and understand your thoughts! But please listen to your words. If you think it makes sense, then stay and rebuild Chenliu with our county."

Sun Kewang sat down on the river beach and greeted many people, "Everyone sits!"

Seeing this, the people sat down one after another, and Wang Wenda also sat beside Sun Kewang.

Although Sun Kewang was born in the civilian army, the civilian army was actually more strict in rank. He saw Xia Wanchun like this and followed the customs.

"Everyone wants to go to Jiangnan, but Jiangnan is full of people. You used to have no houses and no land to cultivate. Even if you find a job, one month..." Sun Kewang asked Wang Wenda: "How much is the monthly salary for a worker in Jiangnan?"

"About one silver dollar!" Wang Wenda said.

"It's only one silver dollar, and I can't afford acre of land if I don't eat or drink all year round!" Sun Kewang said earnestly, "If you stay in the county, the male can get ten acres of land immediately, and women can get five acres. The vassal government has such a good policy, why do you want to leave?"

The people were talking for a while, and a middle-aged man said, "Master, we actually have no choice. Although the vassal states divide the land, we have to build our own houses and reclaim wasteland. We have no money in our hands! This land cannot be sold for money, and there is no landlord to lend money. If we give it to many lands, we have no money to reclaim and cultivate it!"

Another person said: "There are Jiannu who will call him!"

Sun Kewang said: "The county will find a way for you to have a place to make money, and the wages are not less than those in Jiangnan. As for Jiannu, it will be the king to beat them next time."

Sun Kewang persuaded more than 100 of them to go back.

After returning to Chenliu County, Sun Kewang did not dare to hesitate anymore and hurriedly asked Wang Wenda to go to Jiangnan to find merchants to invest in with the public opinion of Chenliu County. He went to Yanshi in person to pay homage to the Prime Minister of the state-owned iron factory.

Not long ago, the Qing army broke through Hulao Pass, and Yanshi was immediately trapped. The iron plant was destroyed by the Qing army, and many prisoners in the mine took the opportunity to escape.

Now that the iron plant is short of manpower, Sun Kewang reached an agreement with the iron plant to select a group of young and strong people to come over, mining the iron plant, and when the iron plant is paid, the man will send the money back, and his family will be able to build a house and reclaim the land.

In November, Sun Kewang sent away the first group of miners to Yanshi. Wang Wencai ran around Jiangnan and ran into a wall. When he returned to Henan, he met a merchant who squeezed soybean oil and produced soybean meal came to him.

When Henan was rebuilt and gradually getting on track, it was finally time to deal with the first batch of short-term government bonds issued by Gao Huan.
