Daqin Engineers

Chapter 322

Sales are not something that Yunzhong County can take care of and there is no need to take care of it.

Meng Liang's role is to open up sales channels and set up sales points instead of taking into account sales.

Otherwise, today is Yanmen County, tomorrow is Taiyuan County, and the day after tomorrow is Handan County... There are more and more sales points. How many clones does Mengliang need to take care of?

Shen Bing has two options for this:

One is to send people directly from Yunzhong County to set up retail outlets.

The second is to find a local retailer.

Although the former can swallow all the profits, it is obviously not realistic.

Because this involves all aspects of humanities, location, relations, management and so on.

The Central Plains is so big. At this time, even the characters, coins, and even language are not unified. Sending people from Yunzhong County to places where they are not familiar with their lives will have many uncertain factors that will increase operating costs in stages.

Instead, the latter is simple and easy.

Yunzhong County does not need to consider anything, only production and transportation are considered, and the rest is left to the local merchants to operate.

If there is any loss, it is a small part of the profit.

But this profit is not worth mentioning when compared with the cost and risk incurred by the former's own point of sale.

Even Shen Bing can mobilize competition in the local market.

For example, in Yanmen County, the cloth was not distributed to Chen Yong's family, but to several at the same time.

Therefore, Chen Yong could not arbitrarily raise cloth prices to disrupt the market.

In addition to opening up the market, Meng Liang’s mission is to tap talents...

As mentioned before, the status of workers in ancient times was not high and their lives were unstable, and because of the large number of people and the lack of land, a large number of workers were floating in society.

This is a good thing for Yunzhong County, because Yunzhong County needs people, especially a large number of skilled workers.

Farmers can't dig. The main reason is that farmers are tied to the land and cannot leave.

Workers have no worries in this regard. If there is anything that prevents them from leaving, it is that they have family members to take care of.

However, Shen Bing's wages, which is twenty dollars a day, can easily support a family of ten, so it is not a problem for the family to move to Yunzhong County.

So why are you still hesitating?

Workers are highly valued in Yunzhong County and their social status is even more stable than that of farmers. More importantly, they can make money to support their families... So I didn't think much about it, and of course moved to Yunzhong County.

This is almost like recruiting workers everywhere.

Local officials paid more attention to farmers than workers, and even recruited a group of people who were not working and doing nothing in the society. This reduced potential safety hazards and made them better managed, so they did not object.

Therefore, while cloths are continuously being sold to various counties, the population is also flowing to Yunzhong County, and most of them are workers in urgent need of Yunzhong County.

These workers are easy to distribute, so they can use their skills to do their best.

The workers who built the house arranged to go to the construction, and the ironsmiths went to the iron workshops, and there were also iron and copper smelters, civilian swords, wood craftsmen and so on.

In Shen Bing's eyes, these people are proper talents, and Shen Bing does not understand why they are so despised in the "low social status" class.

At this time, Yunzhong County is waiting to be flourished. In the future, it will expand its territory and further industrialize it... These workers with various skills are the mainstay.

After a few months, Yunzhong County has gathered more than 50,000 people.

Fifty thousand people are not too many. For example, there are more than seventy thousand households in Yanmen County with a population of 290 thousand people... an average of four people per household.

Qin Shi forced the adults to separate families out of taxation, so the population of each household was not too large.

The population of 50,000 in Yunzhong County is just starting out, especially many of them are still in the state of "retail investors"... The so-called "retail investors" refer to people who are in Yunzhong County, but only for subsistence, whose household registration is still in place. , Remote service, etc. have to return to their original place.

Most of the workers and homeless people who work here are "retail households".

This is also one of the reasons why the population movement was not large in ancient times.

In fact, only 20,000 people who fled from Dai County can be counted in the household registration of Yunzhong County.

This figure looks a little shabby.

But this situation soon changed...

The food in all parts of the Central Plains has matured, and Mengwu immediately took a sharpened army of 200,000 to move towards Yan.

The reason why it is the country of Yan instead of acting is because the country of Yan is the focus of the north.

It is well known that Dai Nation relies on Yan Nation to live on. If Yan Nation is destroyed, Dai Nation may surrender without a fight.

On the contrary, it may not have this effect if the country is destroyed.

So of course the Bing Feng was pointed at Yan Guo.

On the other hand, because Yan was defeated by Qin and was repeatedly forced by Qin to "borrow food" from the people, Yan Wangxi was already angry and no one wanted to fight for it... attacking Yan. The timing is right.

As for what Ying Zheng said before, "You will not attack the country of Yan if you give food"... That's just a trick to lie to children, and only Yan Wangxi would believe it.

Shen Bing didn't know the battle between Qin and Yan, he only knew that Meng Tian was in battle.

At this time, Meng Tian was thirty years old. Prior to this, he was worshipped as internal history for his merits... the highest political officer in the capital.

Perhaps it was because there was Wang Jian in the foreign campaign, so Meng Tian had always been an official in Xianyang before.

It wasn't until this time that Ying Zheng sent Meng Tian to the battlefield along with his father Meng Wu.

There is no need to think about it... the two are not a heavyweight at all.

The state of Yan was at a stage where his vitality had not recovered yet, but the army of Qin was in full swing and commanded by Meng Tian. There was no suspense in this battle.

Things were as expected by Shen Bing.

Meng Tian immediately sent troops directly to Yan and separated the two countries. On the other hand, Meng Wu encircled Yan Wangxi in the capital without attacking.

Only then did Yan Wangxi understand how stupid it was to "borrow grain" to Qin State again and again before. Doesn't this mean to cut his way?

The Yan Jun surrounded by the city could only stare at the empty granary in a daze. Although the grain was mature, it was harvested by the Qin army outside the city...

Go out of town to grab food?

Unless you win the Qin army stationed outside the city.

Stay in the city?

There is only one ending.

Therefore, Yan Wangxi had only one choice, and that was surrender.

If this is the end of Yan State, then Dai Guo will naturally not escape the fate of surrender, unless King Zhao is willing to flee to the northern Xiongnu territory.

The situation is already very clear, even the people who don't ask about politics understand it very well.

So the people of the country fled in a swarm.

To be precise, it was not "fleeing in all directions", most of the directions they fled were Yunzhong County...

Yunzhong County is the hometown of the people of the country, and it has promoted its willingness to accept and treat them well.

More importantly, someone had fled to Yunzhong County and sent back news that they were indeed being treated preferentially there.

In ancient times, it was true that information was closed, but it was a matter of life and death for the people, and they would desperately inquire about the news.

As a result, the people of Yunzhong County and the people of their origin increased rapidly during this period, and it didn't take long for the population to grow to 100,000 and is still increasing.
