"Murong Xiude, you let so many slaves in Jue City escape, and one-thousandth of the slaves in my mansion also escaped. If this continues, will Jue City continue to develop?"
Master Juecheng was furious, so he strictly ordered at this time that the road leading to Yicheng must be secured, and if any fugitive slaves were found, they would be arrested and disciplined strictly. "Well, it's not easy to go to Yicheng now. The road leading to that side is strictly controlled. Once a new escape route is discovered, many people will flock there."
"Seize the opportunity, there will always be a time to escape."
This storm of escaped slaves had a climax at the beginning of spring the next day.
Not only the adjacent Jue City and the Three Tiger City, but also all kinds of escaped slaves from other places.
These people charged at the pass, yelling that they would resist if they were not allowed to pass. This group of people, at the beginning, was just a verbal dispute, and gradually, bloody men began to lift stones and start fighting with soldiers. And among the soldiers, some people deliberately let the water go, so... more and more people escaped. In this wave, the number of people pouring into Yicheng was actually no less than a thousand. And this is only a few days' work. On the road, there are still an endless stream of escaped slaves, rushing to Yicheng in large numbers.
Murong Xiude inspected the expanded and bigger Yicheng, and looked at the escaped slaves who kept coming here, with a touch of relief in his eyes. However, Xiaofeng and the others who followed closely were not so relaxed.
Your lord is so presumptuous in attracting escaped slaves, and also relaxed the policy to allow these people to live in Yicheng. There is no food, and it is shipped from far away. There is no house, and the big guys build it. no money? Use labor to exchange, use technology to exchange.
Someone exchange my knowledge. But anyone who is useful can find a place in Yicheng.
Except for the elderly who can't move, as well as young children, as long as they are a little bit normal, they are all mobilized to move in order to make a living.
Fat aunt looked at the various people who kept coming in, and she was really relieved.
On the one hand, the fat aunt's son is also helping to greet the guests.
"This broom is very good in our store. After your merchants outside took it out, many people said that the sales were good."
"Speaking of it, it's also a broom. Why do your Yicheng brooms have to be much stronger and more durable?"
The businessman carrying a broom was a little puzzled.
"You don't understand this. Our things are all made by old craftsmen. They have been weaving and handcrafting these things for ten years. They choose materials and workmanship. Any unqualified place will be beaten. I went back. What you are looking at is just an ordinary broom, but our people here have put in a lot of effort to make it. One is only worth one point, how easy it is for you .”
"Okay, look at what you said, then bring a hundred brooms, and I will ask for it next time."
"Okay, you take it, one hundred points, remember it for me."
The fat aunt took the point card, which was a point consumption card stamped with the seal of the city lord. In this Yicheng, you can hardly buy anything without points now. Even guests from other places have to go to the side of the city lord or several places in the city to exchange points. When it's time to leave the city gate, if you have unused points, you can also exchange them for silver taels, and then exchange them back.
At first, the merchants outside found it troublesome, but after getting used to it, they felt that the points were quite useful. As long as you take out various point cards here, you can buy all kinds of things.
Shang Wu's caravan of the first three people was also a person who passed through Yicheng. Now his caravan has grown to 50 people. In a caravan of this size, it is still a small team. However, for him, it was the result of ten years of exchange.
Entering Yicheng again, Shang Wu and Ma Liu beside him were still amazed when they saw the continuous flow of people, all kinds of people shouting loudly, and people bargaining.
"Six sons, when our three brothers passed through Yicheng, we really didn't want to stay for a while longer."
Ma Liu also clicked his tongue, "That's okay, we passed by here back then, and there was nothing, that is, the fat aunt's family, they only sold some ordinary rice, noodles and the like, and the noodles were still black. The bowl is so sticky that it hurts my teeth. It’s better now, there are all kinds of shops in this Yicheng, and the biggest change is probably in the last year or so.”
Shang Wu pointed his fingers and corrected, "To be precise, it was a year and a half. In the first half of last year, I only found that there was an increase of some people here, but it was not too obvious. In the second half of the year, the number of people increased sharply." Ah, houses, streets, etc. are also expanding.
Come back this year, it is still expanding, but the population has increased to more than ten or twenty times that of before. From what I can see, Yicheng still feels like a city, although it is expanding and working everywhere. But I'm a little surprised, the city owner of Yicheng is expanding in this way, using the points system, where does their money come from? It seems that there are no other tax items in Yicheng. Could it be that a few wealthy businessmen were hired to pay in advance? "
People in business will calculate the cost.
These buildings, as well as the input of food, will be a lot of expenses, especially at the beginning, this Yicheng has no income, and it all depends on the influx of people. With so many people coming in, the city lord still did not let it go. People are hungry, so where will the money for food and expansion come from
"Perhaps, it was really paid by a wealthy businessman. No one can tell about this thing?"
"I've inquired about it. The city owner said that someone put it in place, so some of the food in the early stage, as well as the peace, and even the funds for the expansion, were all invested by him. No one asked who it was. Clearly, but some people speculate that they should be members of the Green Leaf Caravan. This group of people has earned a lot of money. It is said that every time they go to the coastal area, they will get a lot of money."
Green Caravan.
Hearing this name, Shang Wu was in awe.
You know, the Green Leaf Caravan has always been a mythical existence among their merchant teams.
The rise of this caravan is probably the result of seven or eight years of effort. But the myth created by others is beyond the reach of all caravans. Even the old caravans were compared by them. Now this caravan not only has people from all over the country, but more importantly, it also has silver shops. To be able to open a bank across the country and make the business a standing firm requires a group of talented people.
