One Thousand and Forty-Four, Daxing Northwest 2.0
Just when Li Shentan was working hard to find a way to abduct the Lian people to rejuvenate the Northwest together, suddenly hundreds of red banners were pulled up in the Northwest No. 144 barrier.
"If you pay enough barriers, the rest is yours!"
"If one person farms the land, the whole family will not be hungry!"
This conspicuous banner appeared in the streets and alleys of the ramparts, and the market towns outside the ramparts were no exception.
Not only the banners, Wang Yuexi also organized hundreds of employees of the administrative center to take to the streets, and set up small tables in dozens of places with a lot of traffic in the barrier, and the tables were full of leaflets.
Such a big movement naturally attracted countless residents and refugees to watch and ask how to contract the farmland.
The staff answered any questions fluently, and answered all the confusions of everyone in detail.
Prior to this, Wang Yuexi gave them more than ten days of pre-job training, requiring them to face the residents with the best attitude, and there must be no situation where people ask what they don't know.
In fact, everyone was more enthusiastic than Ren Xiaosu and the others imagined.
However, here comes the problem. After all, the barrier people are used to the comfortable life in the city. Who would be willing to abandon their home and business and go out to farm?
Although everyone was enthusiastic about consulting, but they really wanted to let them farm, so everyone smiled and waved their hands and left. It was purely a waste of time to watch the excitement.
Although there are some refugees outside, compared to the entire area in the northwest to be reclaimed, the number of these refugees is far from enough.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu understood why the Wang family suddenly wanted to attract the refugees from the two consortiums to the Kong family and the Zhou family. It turns out that the population is so important to the development of a power!
The contracting system policy is very attractive to refugees. In the first week after the announcement, almost half of the refugees signed the contract, but these numbers are still not enough for the wasteland they want to reclaim.
Moreover, Wang Fugui also went to Ren Xiaosu to complain about his grievances for the first time. He is the president of the Northwest Chamber of Commerce, and it is only natural that he speaks out on behalf of the entire Chamber of Commerce.
Sitting in Ren Xiaosu's small courtyard, Wang Fugui said: "Young commander, first of all, I must know that the farmland in the northwest is a red line, and no one can touch it. After all, it is related to the economic lifeline of the northwest. But now a large number of refugees are running to farm. Damn, our Northwest Chamber of Commerce has a shortage of manpower in basic positions such as cargo handling, packaging, logistics and transportation. If this matter is not serious, I will never come to you to talk about this matter, but now The lack of human resources has seriously affected the normal operation of commerce, and some workers knew that we were short of people, so they tripled their wages on the spot... Of course, there is nothing wrong with this, but I just hope that you, the young commander, can think of a way."
Ren Xiaosu fell into deep thought, managing barriers is by no means as simple as fighting in the past. In the past, you just killed the enemy and it was very pure.
And now, every decision you make affects the whole body.
Commerce is also a very important industry in the Northwest today. Without the Northwest Chamber of Commerce, there would not be the prosperity of the No. 144 Barrier, and there would be no such ample financial revenue and expenditure as the No. 144 Barrier.
Therefore, the population problem must be solved.
Wang Yuexi considered the problem in a long-term perspective. When Ren Xiaosu proposed the contract system, he mentioned the population problem, and suggested that the barriers should provide residents with childbirth subsidies and reduce residents' expenditure on children's education.
Ren Xiaosu agreed with Wang Yuexi's suggestions and asked him to introduce relevant policies as soon as possible, but the problem is that no matter how much you encourage everyone to have children, they can't directly give you an eighteen-year-old fat boy who can work...
It can only be said that this policy is too long-term and cannot solve the current problems.
However, Ren Xiaosu was not someone who evaded the problem. Instead of discussing with Wang Fugui, Wang Yuexi and others how to deal with this matter, he directly found Da Huyou and began to discuss the supporting plan for Daxing Northwest.
When looking for Wang Yuexi and Wang Fugui, the discussions are all serious countermeasures.
Then it is obvious that some unscrupulous countermeasures are needed.
Da Huyou arrived in Ren Xiaosu's small courtyard, smiled politely and said, "Young Marshal asked me, what's the matter?"
Ren Xiaosu asked straight to the point: "Where can we get tens of thousands of people to rejuvenate the Northwest?"
Da Huyou froze for a moment: "So many?"
Da Huyou thought in his heart, he used to abduct one or two people to the Northwest of Daxing, this young marshal is different when he makes a move, he wants to abduct tens of thousands of people...
This Daxing Northwest business seems to be about to be upgraded, and it will soon enter the era of 2.0!
But the question is, where can I get so many people?
Ren Xiaosu saw Da Huyou's face was troubled, so he suddenly said: "Your side has been receiving information from the Central Plains recently, right? How is Zhou's side now?"
Da Huyou said: "The fire has abandoned even the last barrier, and they have all fled to the north bordering the grassland. The Kong family only has a seaside barrier left, but it looks like it will be destroyed by the Wang family in less than half a month." Occupation, a large number of refugees fled to the south, but the Zhou family itself was in chaos, many factories went on strike, the refugees had no food, and the refugees also had no food, it was very miserable."
Ren Xiaosu said seriously: "Is this all because we killed the head of the Zhou family? It's all my fault..."
"Uh, although this is the direct reason, you don't have to blame yourself, young commander," Da Huyou said: "After all, Zhou's own management is relatively chaotic. Now that so many people can't afford food, they are in a hurry to fight with them and ignore them." Livelihood matters too.”
Big Huyou felt that there was no need to blame himself for killing everyone. Besides, Zhou's doing something wrong and accepting punishment is his own fault.
To be honest, Da Huyou recently discovered that after Ren Xiaosu took over the barrier, he became more and more kind. He was a little worried that Ren Xiaosu would go to another extreme.
After all, righteousness does not engage in business, compassion does not command soldiers, and a truly benevolent person may not be able to lead Northwest to survive in this troubled world.
Thinking of this, Da Huyou wanted to persuade his young marshal not to have the kindness of such a woman, and he should do everything he could to the enemy.
In the end, Ren Xiaosu said with compassion on his face: "That can't be done. These refugees and refugees are displaced and starving. I have something to do with it. You see, I killed their leaders and caused them such misery. Then I will make up for it." , Is it reasonable to take them to the northwest to eat and clothe themselves?"
Da Huyou was stunned: "Young Marshal, your shameless appearance really fits the core idea of Daxing Northwest."
"Then it's decided," Ren Xiaosu said, "The problem now is how to bring them to the northwest!"

In addition, the story on Li Shentan's side is just a side story after all, so it can't take up too much space. If you are still interested in reading it, I will write about it in the form of extra episodes in the future
