Chapter 750 Gather refugees, smelt iron, build a new city

This inn has a tavern below and a place to stay above.

Although some of them are being repaired, a number of corridors and passages are blocked in the building, but the entire lobby is still elegantly arranged. In the spacious hall, low tables and seats are dotted, and some people sit in it. If they weren't for the ordinary clothes, this look would remind Huan Yi of the ancient school society.

Among them, as the most eye-catching one, is a tall and thin man. He sat in the center, surrounded by servants, looking towards the door like stars holding the moon.

This person is Zao Song.

Wang Jun had many daughters, either marrying a close confidant or contacting the powerful and wealthy families, and had many adopted daughters, who successively married several leaders of the Duan Xianbei to marry into marriage.

This wife of Zao Song is Wang Shao, the queen of Wang Jun.

When talking about Zao Song, he had to mention his father Zao Jue. This person is a literary master, and he is more familiar with Huang and Lao, and has made great achievements in the officialdom. He was once the governor of Jizhou, so he made friends with Wang Jun. Both sides made peace plans and led to the marriage.

Therefore, Zao Song is really envious in his identity and background. He is also quite famous and famous in Youzhou. As an important aide to the King of Jiangdu, Huan Yi visited Wang Jun several times for bilateral relations, so he had long had contact with Zao Song, and the two sides were considered to have a friendship.

But when we met this place, Huan Yi was a little embarrassed and even felt a little embarrassed.

You know, the reason why they did not choose the quiet and stable Youzhou route instead chose to travel through a mess and danger everywhere, and even some of Jizhou, which had been in conflict with Jie people, was to avoid Wang Jun and contact Chen Zhi privately and try to get some benefits first.

In fact, before this, some potential agreements had been reached between King Jiangdu and Wang Jun of Youzhou, and a large part of them were targeted at Dai County. As a result, just as the agreement was made, they came to contact each other privately. Everyone would feel embarrassed when they met, let alone being seen through by accident.

But Huan Yi has experienced many battles. After a brief surprise and embarrassment, he immediately frowned and walked up to greet him, "I didn't expect to see Brother Zao here. I wonder what you are doing when you come to this Dai County? We have made an agreement on both sides, why do you have to come here in advance?"

Zao Song was stunned when he heard this, then couldn't help laughing, pointing at Huan Yi and scolding, "Okay, Huan Maolun, you really have a bad person complaining first. Why don't you tell me why you appeared here? Don't tell me, you are thinking about the place, informing the Grand Sima, and then joining Guangchang."

Huan Yi also cooperated and laughed, then pulled Chang Ju, whom he had just met, walked over, sat next to Zao Song, and at the same time Zheng said, "That's exactly!"

"You, this skin is really amazing." Zao Song smiled and shook his head, invited the two of them to sit down, waved his hand, let the servants around him disperse, told the store that the wine and food were brought in, and then looked at Chang Yu and asked about the history.

"This is Chang's King Chang's King in Shu." Huan Yi followed the trend and then claimed the crime: "It's so that Chang's King learned that the name below was not the one I just mentioned, but Huan Yi, the Yi of the sacrifice vessel, because it came from Jizhou, and it is inevitable that he was a little cautious." Since he had met Zao Song, he would have to backfire even if he had concealed his identity. Huan Yi simply told Chang's neighbor that he clearly told Chang's King next to him. Anyway, if he didn't say it, Zao Song wouldn't be polite.

"It turned out to be a gentleman of the Huan family, but he was rude," Chang Yu still treated him with courtesy. "Is there another one, is it Zao Jun under the command of the King of Dasima?"

"I'm not a talented person, but I'm still here." After Zao Song finished speaking, he asked unruly: "Depending on the demeanor of Chang Jun, I'm not an ordinary person, but I'm ignorant. I've never heard of your name and surname. Today I come to Dai County, where does it mean to come from?"

Chang Yu said: "I recorded many history in my next family, so I liked traveling and recording customs and customs. Because I was a little pretentious in Shuzhong and Taoist sect, I heard them talk about the experiences of this country and felt a yearning for them. Then I came here, but there were still waves on the way, so I came from Youzhou and happened to meet two of them in Guangchang."

"It turns out that he is a descendant of the historian family. He is really disrespectful." Zao Song nodded, and then sighed, "This country is extraordinary. I just entered a county and felt unusual. Not only was the order in the city, but there were also repairs everywhere. Where the covers were covered, the atmosphere inside could be said to be completely renewed..."

He glanced at Huan Yi and said, "Don't think I was deliberately speaking and misleading you. I was here in Guangchang, Daijun before. At that time, the atmosphere of the entire county town was completely different from that now. Don't be affected by merchants. Even the big clans, clans, and commoners in the city all have the desire to leave and are in panic all day long. Among the many refugees who went south, there were people from villages outside the city, but now it is completely different. Not to mention the sun, there are many refugees who secretly came to surrender. You may have never been to the private camp outside the north of the city in vain?"

"You said there were refugees who came secretly to surrender?" Huan Yi was really surprised. "Is there a special tent to settle down in the north of the city?"

"That's true," Zao Song shook his head gently and smiled bitterly, "You can't not know what the importance of this population is restricted by many things. Dai County is in the border area and is invaded by the three parties, and it is difficult to develop. The population is constantly lost. Therefore, there are several weak counties in Youzhou. As a result, Chen Zhi relied on this foundation to suppress all parties, and even the seven Xianbei people were conquered, forming a barrier in the north, and many mining slaves were mobilized. Wu Ding built a road, and was full of prosperity, but instead absorbed the surrounding scattered population."

As he said that, he took out an iron token from his arms: "And this person has an iron ore at the moment and smelted iron by himself. I heard the rumors that this person built several iron fields by the Sanggan River and smelted iron by himself. I don't know whether it is true or false, but this token was made by their Dai County. I have someone to identify it and say it is of good quality and hardness."

At this moment, even Chang Yu couldn't help saying: "That Chen Fujun paid for the county towns in various places to repair cities, shops, and build roads, attracting many martial artists, training, and patrols, not to mention the new arrival of Daibei New City. This is all about spending money like flowing water. Now we need iron smelting, which is also a lot of money invested in the early stage. Where do we come from?"

"This mansion is very expensive, but he is not very capable of judging treasures," Zao Song obviously has research. "If you don't talk about the paper shop and the kiln, do you think you don't know this token? I guess both of you have also received this recommendation order. You should know how much merchants yearn for this place now. This is another source of money."

Huan Yi couldn't help but look serious and whispered: "In this way, is this country really going to rise?"

"Isn't it? Otherwise, why do you have to come here secretly?" Zao Song immediately teased, but without waiting for him to say more, an old herder came in from outside and headed straight to the tables of several people.

When Huan Yi saw this man, he asked directly: "Have you figured it out?"

The old Xie was obviously running over quickly. He didn't care to wipe the sweat on his forehead, so he hurriedly said, "I found out that the so-called new city is said to be built in Sanggan Hebei!"

"What?"
