Chapter 1,396 The Way Out

"We will continue to discuss your future. If you have skills and feel that you can still fight, Mr. Chao now needs to recruit elites. You can sign up for the selection."

"If you are tired of the war, don't want to fight and kill, and have no worries, and are willing to stay in the mine, we welcome you."

"From today on, you will become mine workers, and you will have three meals a day as usual. The only difference is that the mine will give you a salary, starting from two hundred cash a day. Those who work harder will get more."

"Of course the work you do must be worthy of the reward, otherwise the owner will terminate the contract and I won't be able to help you."

Two hundred yuan a day is six thousand yuan a month. After working for a year, you can almost have some savings.

"If you have a family, but no family, no savings, but still don't want to work and only want to farm, there are ways."

"The Liang family has occupied a large amount of land, which has now been returned to Your Majesty. If you are willing to farm but have no money to buy it, Your Majesty's land can be farmed for you at a rent of two and a half cents per acre, and you will also enjoy the preferential treatment given by Your Majesty to Ningxia Third Road.

, exempt from taxation until eight years later.”

"Eight years from now, I estimate that you all will have a lot of wealth. At that time, you can give priority to purchasing the land you have been cultivating. I have asked His Majesty for a policy, that is, the land price will not rise. At that time, the price will still be based on this year's price, which is half a year.

Mu, I’ll sell it to you.”

"If you are willing to advance the redemption date and enjoy a few good years without even paying two and a half cents of rent, I will only be happier."

"What if you say that I don't know how to farm and can only herd cattle? It's okay. The grassland court gave me a quota of one to two hundred acres, but it's surrounded by other people's private properties. You can't cross the border. You can only stay within these two hundred acres.

Raise livestock on acres of land.”

"But you have to change your cultivation method. Someone will teach you when the time comes."

"Similarly, these pastures also need to be redeemed by you. Until they can be redeemed, they are still regarded as leases."

"That's it. You can make a living in four fields: workers, farmers, soldiers, and animal husbandry. It's up to you to choose. Go back and tell everyone, think about it carefully, and then find your former leader to be the guarantor. Everyone will sign up and sign the contract."

Three days later, the statistical results made Su You overjoyed. Most of the prisoners of war in Lanzhou were captured by Li Xian in the Tiandu Mountain area. Most of these people were servants and slaves, abandoned sons of Ren Duoling. The real elites were all led by Ren Duoling.

Then he went to the Dry Sea to ambush him.

This group of people felt that the mine was very good. Except for a few whose families were in Xixia and were willing to go back, the rest were very happy when they heard that they could become workers and get paid.

This caused Su You to have slaves come over from time to time when he was traveling and kiss his boots, which annoyed Cheng Yue who was responsible for the security.

On the contrary, Li Xian was quite slanderous about this. The current basic share capital of Sanlu Mineral Deposit is 1,500 guan, of which 500 guan belongs to the government and 1,000 guan is a loan from Huangsong Bank to Sitong.

Whether it is Huangsong Bank or Sitong Commercial Bank, the clan represented by Zhao Xu accounts for the majority. Coupled with the reinvestment of dividends, the assets have more than doubled in one and a half years. The composition of this shareholding is quite complicated.

In short, it was Zhao Xu who took the lead, and Li Xian felt that he, the dog, had neglected his duty by not showing His Majesty the property, and should be punished.

After knowing that the workers' problem was not serious for the time being, Su You felt relieved and went to Yinfeng Supervision to inspect the progress of the train again.

The technical improvements in the past few months have allowed the train to be equipped with whistles, springs, a glass carriage on the front of the train, and passenger boxes like those used on Nanhai horse-drawn rail cars.

The distance of fifty miles is controlled to half an hour when the train is fully loaded. For safety reasons, the speed is reduced by half.

Bafan Street on the north bank of Lanzhou is extremely prosperous now, and people in the factory area like to take the train there.

As if overnight, the place turned into a small Bianjing.

To be precise, it's more like Tang Chang'an.

Businessmen from all walks of life came here in droves, and many Hu merchants established businesses here. They were very interested in the two-story townhouses built by Sitong.

Bafan Street is paved with cement floor tiles and is now divided into nine streets. The one in the middle is the financial center.

Northwest Branch of Huangsong Bank, Hexi City Yisi, Sitong Chamber of Commerce, various guilds, banknote market, gold and silver market, jewelry store, silk and satin store, winery, glass store, porcelain store, perfume store, fur store...

All of them are wealthy businessmen with deposits of more than 100,000 yuan in Huangsong Bank.

People living here enjoy the most luxurious life and lead the most comfortable life. There are almost no copper coins and small denomination bills here. The most popular ones are gold coins, silver coins and checks.

The villa has servants and housekeepers specially trained by the servant company, which can help Hu merchants adapt to the life of the Song Dynasty as soon as possible and provide the best quality services.

As long as you have money and can move in with just a bag, there will naturally be service staff who will tailor clothes for you and bring you delicious food. They will be considerate and considerate beyond your imagination, and they will not be as considerate as they can be.

This is completely a high-end villa area from later generations. In addition to lighting, it also uses kerosene blowtorch. It is no different from the high-end villa areas from later generations.

Corridors paved with ceramic tiles, lawns in the courtyard, fountains, cement beams and masonry houses, boiler circulating floor heating, modern bathrooms, underground sewage systems, large glass windows...

There is the best music, the best wine, the most luxurious carriages, the most beautiful girls...

The goods that circulate here every day are like a lake with a huge whirlpool, and then branch out into several small rivers, one flows to Shazhou, leading to the Western Regions; one flows to Jingzhao, leading to Bianjing; one flows to Xingzhou, leading to the grassland

.

Countless news circulates here every day, and countless stories about wealth happen here.

Nowadays, a large town with 30,000 households and 140,000 people has been formed here. On the periphery of this large town, there are also 50,000 households of small and medium-sized businessmen gathered, including the warehouses, inns, and carriage yards of wealthy merchants.

The second large floating bridge on the Yellow River, the Jingzhou Iron Floating Bridge, has also been built. The roads in Xingzhou, Jingzhou, Lingzhou, Mingsha, Weizhou, Xiaoguan, Ningxia City, and Weizhou have all been opened, making it convenient and fast.

.

The convenience of transportation has also brought about the prosperity and prosperity of Qinfeng Road, Yongxingjun Road, and Hedong Road.

In huge contrast to the prosperity of the Silk Road, was the sudden depression of the Qing and Tang Dynasties!

In November, the sun appeared, and the Song Dynasty received the letter of credence from Goryeo.

They killed two kings one after another.

First, on July 18th, King Wang Hui of Goryeo passed away in Chongguang Hall, Kaijing. After his death, he was named Wenzong in the temple, and his posthumous name was Renxiao. His crown prince, Prince Sanguo, was informed of state affairs.

When Wang Hui was still alive, he had been working hard to make peace with the Song Dynasty. It is said that he once dreamed of Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, "I was prepared to see the prosperity of the city, palaces and palaces, and I felt admiration for it."

He wrote a poem "A Night Dream in Shangyuan to Watch the Lanterns in Bianjing" to record the event: "My destiny is close to the Khitan, and I pay tribute a lot every year. Suddenly I was summoned by the Dragon Wheel of Shun, and I served Yaotian Buddha to watch the lanterns. The flames are like lotus pills, and the moonlight is like water leaking out of the cold clouds. I am lucky enough to enter the realm of Huaxu, but it is a pity that it will leak out all night long."

Prince Wang Xun had been the crown prince for thirty years and finally sat on the throne. As a result, he was already ill, and his illness was aggravated by excessive grief during his father's mourning period. As a result, he died on October 23rd at Wenzong's funeral. Second-rate.

His temple name is Shunzong, his posthumous name is Xuanhui, and he is only thirty-seven years old.

When he was seriously ill, Wang Xun appointed his younger brother Wang Yun as Taishi and Zhongshuling, and granted him a thousand households. This was regarded as a signal to establish Wang Yun as his successor.

Eleven days later, Shunjong passed away, and his posthumous edict was passed to Wang Yun. Wang Yun put on a Gon's crown and ascended the throne in Xuanzheng Hall to receive congratulations and became the new King of Goryeo.

After Wang Yun ascended the throne, he immediately named Ji Lin Gong, Fu Xian Fei's husband, Wang Yong, who had been renamed Wang Xi, as Taibao, and Yi Tian as the Blessing Sangtong.
