Chapter 15 Great Development

(I'm sorry that it's not a big deal at this time, just because I'm tired, unwell, and decadent. I woke up in the afternoon and turned on the computer. I wanted to write something, but my mind was dizzy. In fact, I've been in this state these days, very uncomfortable, but today I feel very uncomfortable, so I can't do it after persisting for a while. I lay in bed and rested until after ten o'clock in the evening. Finally, I was in good spirits. Then I coded this chapter. This is the first chapter. Panda will have another two more chapters, and then try to rest well to ensure my physical and mental state, and strive to have four chapters tomorrow. That's all. Finally, brothers and sisters, give me more pandas and one recommendation ticket! In the name of insisting on typing while sick.)

Zuo Xiaoyou was not disappointed that he had only obtained military positions but did not have the position of governing the state governor, because when he returned to the local area, he directly hypnotized the state governor and the main officials under his control. On the surface, Zuo Xiaoyou only took charge of the military affairs of the two states, but in fact he also held the political affairs of the two states in his hands.

Yongliang is located in the northwest, located in the later Gansu, Xinjiang, and is located in the border area, living with the Qiang and Xiongnu. However, in the past few years, under the force of Zuo Xiaoyou, under the economic control, the Qiang and Xiongnu were basically dead and ran away. The rest were also absorbed by Zuo Xiaoyou as second-class citizens of the Han Dynasty, helping Liangzhou to carry out economic development.

Due to its innate disadvantages in the northwest, there are not many resources to develop. However, there are Dayuan horses, cattle and sheep, dense melons, and a large number of Chinese herbal medicines. There are grapes here. Zuo Xiaoyou discovered this a few years ago and began to plant grapes in large quantities. After harvesting, some made them into raisins, and some made into famous and valuable cakes in later generations.

Zuo Xiaoyou wants to thank his experience in Hengdian. He played a supporting role in a play about chewing cakes, and then talked to a Uyghur guy about how to make chewing cakes. The process is not complicated. It just takes some time.

In fact, for a while, because he was not doing well in Hengdian, Zuo Xiaoyou went into the market to sell cakes for a while, but because he was not a minority, he was caught by the local urban management and was directly confiscated.

Oh! That's a Rolls-Royce! It hurts him...

From then on, he still obediently worked as his supporter in Hengdian until he lived in seclusion in Liangshan.

Since he discovered the grapes, Zuo Xiaoyou naturally had to make good use of them. The raisins and cut cakes were given to the capital. After Emperor Ling tasted them, he praised them and used the raisins and cut cakes as tributes. Xiliang had to pay tribute every year, and Zuo Xiaoyou also received a lot of rewards.

But these are all secondary. Zuo Xiaoyou's main purpose is to rely on the name of "tribute" to open up sales channels at home and abroad. No one can resist the deliciousness of raisins, and cut cakes are a high-calorie food. Eating only a little bit is enough to support the calorie consumption of a day. Moreover, the shelf life is very long, and it will not be broken even if it is stored for one or two years.

Gradually, raisins and cut cakes became a luxury and were unanimously loved by many powerful people at home and abroad.

It’s just too luxurious. You can exchange for a war horse by cutting a pound of cake. It turns out that the cake will last forever and a piece will be passed down forever.

In addition, Zuo Xiaoyou built a large-scale construction project in the two prefectures of Yongliang, building water conservancy, improving agricultural tools, and increasing agricultural output. He also recruited a large number of refugees, saying that each refugee can be divided into ten acres of fertile land and can also make money by working. In short, as long as you are diligent, you can make money in Yongliang, eat a full meal, and you will never endure hunger and eat with your son.

With a series of people-friendly policies, the Yongliang area has also entered a stage of rapid development. More and more wealth has accumulated and people's lives have become better and better. Zuo Xiaoyou also set up a caravan to go to the Western Regions to do business and communicate with each other.

Of course, there are always many inconveniences when going abroad to do business, and it is not peaceful along the way. Therefore, the caravan is equipped with a cavalry brigade of thousands of people. If you really encounter those who are not good at eyeballs, you can also solve them. If you are lucky and encounter those who are rich and wealthy, you will make a profit. The black-eating black-salted horses will be the favorite.

Of course, this is just a small head. The real big head is that if the small countries in the Western Regions have the intention to occupy the caravan, they will be embarrassed. There is a t-1,000 and a t- hidden in the cavalry brigade. Just two of them can destroy a country with a population of hundreds of thousands. Most of the countries in the Western Regions are small countries with tens of thousands, or even thousands.

So when a "big country" in the Western Regions with a population of tens of thousands wanted to eat the caravan, the end of the country was destroyed. The wealth, women, children, and young men of this country were all turned into slaves and were taken back to Liangzhou to sell along the way, bringing considerable benefits to Liangzhou.

After being beaten by Zuo Xiaoyou, the Huns in the north also established a commercial free trade zone, indicating that the Huns could sell your cattle, sheep, horses, sheepskin, wool, tents, horse milk and wine and other specialties to sell in exchange for the lack of supplies.

Of course, iron tools will never be sold to the Huns, but salt, tea, silk, etc. can be sold to you.

The Huns ate meat every day, and it was definitely not possible without salt. Drinking tea can remove oil, and silk is a must-have luxury for the Hun nobles. In addition, Zuo Xiaoyou also made improvements in food.

As a god of food, Zuo Xiaoyou was very disappointed with the food in this world, so he has been constantly improving the food here in Xiliang for many years. Especially the launch of hot pot, a tornado was blowing in this bitter and cold place. Now, which one does not eat hot pot? The signature dish in the restaurant is definitely hot pot.

In addition, the ramen that is famous for later generations has also been pushed to the public by Zuo Xiaoyou. It only takes a little money to eat a bowl of hot and delicious ramen. Today, the people of Yongliang are very happy. At least in terms of food, no people in any state eat better than them.

As the food becomes more and more abundant, the food becomes more and more innovative, leading to the past caravans coming to Yongliang, where they will definitely have a big meal. Some people even moved their families here to eat the food they eat every day and became happy Yongliang people.

In addition to vigorously governing the people's livelihood of Yongliang, Zuo Xiaoyou also reformed the army, adopted the army organization of later generations, trained 20,000 regular lancers, 20,000 regular sword and shield soldiers, and 10,000 regular archers and cavalrymen in Yongliang. In addition, a militia system was implemented in the Yongliang area, and the young and young people here had to conduct regular military training for an hour every day. If there was not enough regular troops in the future, they would be the most ready-made alternate soldiers.

Of course, they are basically not used. Zuo Xiaoyou trains them not to go out for war, but if some robbers suddenly come one day, these militiamen who have received regular military training can pick up weapons and fight with the robbers head-on, so that they can know who is the robber?

In addition, the northwest region will be very cold in winter. So Zuo Xiaoyou has also developed two winter heating tools, coal stoves and coal mines. With these two things, even if it is a nomadic lifestyle, you don’t have to worry about freezing to death when it is cold.

In addition, for residents' houses, Zuo Xiaoyou also designed a large kang, with a earthen kang inside and a boiling pot outside. As long as you burn it with firewood, the kang will be extremely warm. You don't want to get up after lying down.

In short, under the governance of Zuo Xiaoyou, the people's livelihood in Yongliang area had reached the leading level in the country, until 189 AD. Although the people in Yongliang area did not dare to say that they were rich, at least everyone was full and dressed warmly, and had surplus food at home. From time to time, they could also subsidize their household income and make their living standards better.

Moreover, in Yongliang area, there are not half of refugees, and even some wealthy people will go to drink flower wine from time to time.

Because the caravans often run to the Western Regions, they also brought back many Western Region beauties. The most beautiful ones of these Western Regions were sent to Zuo Xiaoyou, and then Zuo Xiaoyou gave them in batches to the meritorious ministers who followed him. Some Western Region beauties of average quality were publicly sold, and some bachelors who could not marry their wives could buy them home as wives.

Because Zuo Xiaoyou promised that if a female slave in the Western Regions marry a Han man, the child he gave birth to would be a Han family and could enjoy the benefits of the Han people. Therefore, many female slaves in the Western Regions are very eager to marry a Han family man. Even if the other party is a disabled person, it doesn’t matter. As long as they can give birth to a child and half of their daughter, they will have a place.

Because Zuo Xiaoyou stipulated that even female slaves should not be beaten and scolded at will, let alone kill them. Those who beat and scold them at will will be thirty rods; those who kill them will be killed by a stick!

So if a female slave married a Han man, she would still live a very good life.

Of course, because the Han people were very powerful during this period, Erlang of the Han family believed that marrying a foreigner was not a glorious thing, but would lose face. Therefore, not many female slaves could be married, and what should we do if we couldn't get married? Then we had to send them to brothels to perform art or to sell ourselves.

In modern times, Zuo Xiaoyou has been well aware of the way of operating the entertainment industry, so Zuo Xiaoyou, as an official, opened many brothels in Yongliang Land, and then trained the female slaves in a little training and put them in to perform singing and dancing, and of course there are specialized orchestras.

These are all relatively high-end female slaves, some of whom are a little ugly, cannot be sold or entered into high-end brothels, so they can only open black workshops and stand on the street to attract customers.

Now is a period of great construction, and everything is focused on economic development. In addition, ordinary people have no chance to receive education at all, so they are still relatively vulgar. They can do it for ten cents, and you and I, everyone, there is nothing wrong with it.
