October 10, 1590.

The autumn is clear and the weather is not very cold yet, just wear two layers of clothes.

Sanjing Town is the largest town north of Kelan, located on the throat road leading from Kelan to Wuzhai. At this time, on the street from Xibaokou to Dongbaokou, there was a lot of noise, with caravans coming and going, and the locals carrying goods on their backpacks, making Sanjing Town, which has always been deserted, lively.

Most of these caravans were caravans for transporting wool. The wool purchased from Gaojiahui Town, Lijiagou, Qinjiazhuang, Songjiazhai, Jiaoshan, Mengjiapo, Xizhangyizhuang, Xipo and other places in Kelan Prefecture were transported to Sanjing Town. After preliminary processing, it was transported to Wuzhaibao. This time, the wool acquisition of Wuzhaibao also brought many places in Kelan Prefecture to life.

"Okay, OK, pack up, and go."

Gu Shitong said loudly while directing the guys to load the goods. In front of him was a dozen carriages loaded with wool. If they were transported to Wuzhaibao, they would probably make a lot of money. After the Wuzhaibao Wool Spinning Factory was built, Gu Shitong seized the opportunity and acted quickly. Using his identity as Huang Laifu's in-laws, he could easily cooperate with several merchants in Wuzhai. Several of them jointly built a couch in Sanjing Town to specialize in purchasing wool cashmere. Now the third batch of wool cashmere has been shipped to Wuzhaibao.

"This money is much better than in Guilanzhou City." Looking at the carriages, Gu Shitong thought to himself, "It seems that he is going to increase the purchase efforts. Also, should he discuss with the elder brother of the capital city, accumulate some money and grain, and raise sheep in Guilanzhou?"

In June, when Huang Laifu passed by Kelan Prefecture, he discussed the cooperation with the Gu family, Liu Jingchun, commander of Xiwei in Kelan Prefecture, and the governor of Kelan Prefecture. At present, the cooperation between the two parties has begun.

In this demand for wool in Wuzhaibao, Gu family, Liu Jingchun, the governor of Kelan Prefecture, and others sent their families or cooperated with some merchants to buy wool from the homes of sheep farmers in various parts of Kelan Prefecture, and then transported them to Wuzhaibao, which made a lot of money.

Compared to the past when they used to collect some filial piety money or get some meager salary in Kelanzhou City every month, this money was too easy. Seeing that the profit was so generous, everyone was moved. Judging from the future of Wuzhaibao, the demand for wool is probably getting bigger and bigger. It seems that raising sheep is a very cost-effective thing in the future.

However, although there are many pastures in Kelan, the sheep farmers in various places are very scattered. Most of them raise some sheep in their spare time. In this way, the demand for raw materials will be far from keeping up with the future development of Wuzhaibao.

The Gu family in Kelan Prefecture City, Liu Jingchun, the commander of Zhenxiwei, and the governor of Kelan Prefecture, naturally saw this. Everyone was discussing these days, recruiting some merchants, and providing some funds to build some large ranches in some water-rich places in Kelan Prefecture, specializing in raising sheep and collecting wool cashmere. Since the purchase price of cashmere in Wuzhaibao will be higher, in the future, these large ranches will mainly be breeding velvet goats.

After sending someone to discuss with Huang Laifu, Huang Laifu naturally agreed with their approach and made a promise that in the future, the wool cashmere produced on their ranch would be specially purchased at the market price. In this way, Liu Jingchun, the magistrate of Kelan Prefecture and others had a great fortune, and Huang Laifu also obtained a stable raw material site, and the cooperation between the two parties could continue in the long run.

However, Liu Jingchun, Guilanzhou and others did not agree with the captive plan proposed by Huang Laifu. First, the initial investment in captive farming was very large, and second, it was incompatible with the concept of free-range farming at that time. Isn’t sheep raised like this for thousands of years? Besides, at this time, there were pastures and grasslands in Kelanzhou, why did they still need to plant forage? Build so many sheep houses? Isn’t this a waste of money? How could there be so much money and grain to waste? As for the environmental awareness proposed by Huang Laifu, what is this? I haven’t heard of it.

Among the few people, although the Gu family agreed, Liu Jingchun and the governor of Kelan Prefecture both resolutely denied Huang Laifu's proposal. The adoptive father Liu Jingchun also asked someone to bring a letter to Huang Laifu, advising him to save money and food and not spend money randomly when he had money, which made Huang Laifu speechless when he heard this.

Not to mention the climax of the rise of official, merchants, wealthy households and households in various places in Kelan Prefecture, in Wuzhai Fort, since September 20, the new agricultural reclamation in Wuzhai began again. According to Huang Laifu's prior requirements, another 200,000 acres of land will be reclaimed this time, and 4,000 garrisons will be recruited.

This is the second time that Wuzhaibao has been reclaimed. Compared with last year, it has attracted a lot of attention from the beginning. Compared with the various factories and workshops of Wuzhaibao, Wuzhaibao's farms are more attractive to the flow of people from all over the world. After all, some of the households of the forts around Wuzhaibao and those refugees from all over the world who came to Wuzhaibao were originally farmers from all over the world. The land concept over the years has also made them willing to choose to continue farming on the land.

Besides, everyone knows that among the various farms of Wuzhaibao, the benefits are far higher than those of the factory workshops in Wuzhaibao. Basically, there are five dou of monthly grain and various rewards. This is as the Qianhu said. When entering various farms, as long as you work hard, it is equivalent to holding an iron rice bowl in your hand. The great reward for Wuzhaibao during the autumn harvest has made the surrounding areas of Wuzhaibao still talk about it.

The benefits and benefits of each farm are high, stable and guaranteed. This is the result of Huang Laifu's careful consideration. The most basic root of Wuzhaibao's prosperity is agriculture. If the treatment of the garrisons is not high, they will not be able to farm with peace of mind. If they are not at ease, they will not be able to farm with peace of mind. The grain output will not be guaranteed, and the grain output will not be guaranteed. The current prosperity of Wuzhaibao has become rootless duckweed. Huang Laifu still knows who is less and who is more serious.

Besides, since the various factories and workshops in Wuzhaibao are no longer directly managed by Huang Laifu, they are just joint ventures, and dividends will be distributed at that time. However, Huang Laifu is directly managed by Huang Laifu, who came from later generations, and naturally, compared with people at this time, he would naturally be more kind to his employees and try to give higher treatment.

This time, 200,000 mu of newly reclaimed land in Wuzhai Fort is needed to recruit 4,000 garrisons. So many people are needed to wipe out the laborers of households around Wuzhai Fort and the refugees who came to Wuzhai Fort. Moreover, there is not enough people, so some labor needs to be recruited from the surrounding areas.

After September 20, when Wuzhai Fort began to recruit Tun Dings from the new farm, news came out that first of all, the civilians and village forts around the original Wuzhai Fort and the young and strong laborers from the village forts were pouring in. Over the past year, they had already seen the changes and treatments of the various farms of Wuzhai Fort, and they were already so envious that they would not be able to become Tun Dings. They had no chance in the past, but now they had this opportunity, so they would not let go of anything.

Huang Laifu has long stipulated that the monthly salary of the Wuzhaibao military households is five dou of monthly grain, with various rewards, while the monthly salary of the civil servants is four dou of monthly grain, with various rewards. Of course, if these civil servants join the Wuzhaibao military households, they can also enjoy the monthly salary of five dou of monthly grain, with various benefits.

If it were in the past, the household registration of the household registration in the surrounding Wuzhai Fort would be more expensive than the household registration of the military household registration, but now it has been the opposite. There is a military household registration in Wuzhai Fort, which is very enviable. At the same time, these civil servants and their families rushed to join the military household registration in Wuzhai Fort. The final result was that the areas around Wuzhai Fort had become military households, and no longer had civil households, and became the only castle for the entire military household in the Ming Dynasty.

As for those refugee residents, some of them had their families with their families. After learning about the situation of Wuzhai Fort, they also joined the Wuzhai Fort military household registration and decided to live in Wuzhai Fort for a long time and take root. This made Huang Laifu's military household registration reach thousands.

As Wuzhai Fort began to recruit the treasury from all new farms, a group of refugees also brought their families and came from all over the country with hope.

"Mom, I'm hungry!" A little girl grabbed her mother's trousers and said weakly.

The mother comforted her and said, "Nannan, don't panic. When your father and brother come back, you will have something to eat." While saying that, she hugged her daughter in her arms with heartache.

This is a typical refugee. My mother, Zhou, is in her thirties, has messy hair, pale face, thin clothes, and her body is covered with dust. The girl is less than ten years old. Her thin body and her face are also yellow, but she hums weakly in her mother's arms. Beside them, there is a carry, an iron pot, a few thin quilts, and some simple luggage. In a basket, there is a smaller boy standing, with his limbs weakly huddled in the basket, and his face looks malnourished.
