Chapter 258 Kuoding County is also called Guanggun County

With the experience of resettling the newly arrived people last time, it will be much easier for Yan Kai and the others to resettle more than 10,000 people this time.

When they left, they told Zheng Zhixun and Zhou Tong to build more housing in Kuoding County.

Although we can't accommodate more than 10,000 people now, at least those who are slightly weaker and injured don't have to sleep outside.

Without Yan Kai, Kuoding County was still managed in an orderly manner by Zheng Zhixun and Zhou Tong.

It's just that he came back too late, delaying Zheng Zhixun's spring this year.

"Don't worry, sir, it's just one more year of studying with you."

Zheng Zhixun didn't care at all.

Being with Yan Kai, what I learned was completely different from what I learned in the Zheng family.

In his opinion, the imperial examination is just there, and as long as he wants to go, he can win it.

This is his confidence.

Kuoding County now has more people, so Yan Kai will naturally start to accelerate his development.

In the industrial area, all the workshops must be built first.

The first batch of coke, steelmaking, cement, brick factories, and porcelain kilns, all basic materials for manufacturing, will start this year.

Then the second batch of metal products factories, glass factories, and weapon workshops will also be included in the plan.

There are also shipbuilding workshops on the seaside that need to be expanded.

The newly arrived people had no objections to Yan Kai's arrangements.

Regarding the job benefits and benefits in Kuoding County, anyone who has an opinion is probably because they got kicked in the head by a donkey.

There are also some who became disabled due to fighting with the Turks when they were in the Turks.

Initially, they were worried that they would not be able to support themselves, but Yan Kai arranged for them all the easiest jobs in supply and marketing cooperatives.

Those who were seriously injured didn't even have to work, and someone was specially arranged to take care of them.

Yan Kai would have to say that the only flaw in Kuoding County now is the imbalance between men and women.

More than 70% of the Tang people brought back from the Turks were young and strong men.

This actually made Yan Kai scratch his head.

You can't let people be single for the rest of their lives.

Although now Kuoding County is located in the surrounding villages, young and strong men are in hot demand for girls who want to marry.

But there aren’t that many young women of school age in places around here!

The Tang people brought back from the Turks twice totaled more than 10,000 young men and women.

Some of them were poor in the past and never got married.

Some are married, but their wives are separated and cannot be found.

Yan Kai didn't think there was any problem with this at first. After all, he came from a modern society where many people in their thirties were unmarried.

As a result, after being talked to by Zheng Zhixun and others several times, I realized that according to Datang's point of view, it was better to get married and start a business.

In other words, many people set up their careers just to start a family and to pass on heirs.

This is a difference in concept.

Even Yan Kai can't change this concept now.

"What do you think we should do about this matter?" Yan Kai called his team over and asked them to brainstorm ideas.

"What's the benefit of getting married?" Cheng Huailiang said disdainfully: "There is one more person in the family who will take care of you. In my opinion, it is better not to get married."

"Eat when you want, sleep when you want, one person will be fed and the whole family will not be hungry!"

After Cheng Huailiang finished speaking, Chun Yuzhen and Zhou Tong actually nodded approvingly.

Yan Kai put his hand on his forehead and called these guys over to ask for advice. It was all in vain.

"What do you think about us going somewhere farther away to get married?" Yan Kai asked.

This is the idea given by netizens in the live broadcast room.

Huang Rong thought for a moment and said, "It's probably not feasible, because most families feel that the water thrown out by their married daughters, and the quality of their life in Kuoding County has little to do with their own family's life."

"And I heard that your Kuoding County is rich, so they will probably ask for a high betrothal gift."

Yan Kai scratched his head, as people from Kuoding County could naturally afford the high betrothal gift.

But he himself was somewhat disgusted with this.

He doesn't object to the betrothal gift, as long as it's normal.

But he would not be happy if a man from Kuoding County got married and the bride price was exorbitant.

Why?

"How about, let's go buy it!" Li Anyan said in a surprising tone.

"Buy?" Yan Kai glared, this is not possible, it would ruin his outlook on life.

Unexpectedly, he still refused. As a woman, Huang Rong glanced at Li Anyan and asked, "Do you want to go to Silla to buy it?"

Li Anyan nodded and said: "Silla maids are very famous, but in fact only a small number of Silla women can become Silla maids, and the others who have not become Silla maids...all live a very miserable life."

Yan Kai inquired carefully and finally understood the whole story.

First of all, we have to talk about how the Silla maid came to be.

Silla is the Korean Peninsula, in the northeast.

Everyone knows that until the Qing Dynasty when Ning Guta was exiled, he was exiled to that side, and we can know how bad the quality of life there was.

Not having enough to eat can be said to be a common phenomenon.

If a boy is born in the family, he can still raise him to work.

And when a girl is born, most families are not willing to raise her.

Then they were sent to the place where Silla maids were trained.

Not everyone can be a Silla maid, and you must at least know how to read and write, as well as poetry and etiquette.

The most important thing is not to look ugly.

According to what Li Anyan and Huang Rong knew, less than one out of ten Silla women could become Silla maids.

But for those who have not become Silla's maids, life can be imagined.

Those people are not charitable organizations. The remaining women will be treated as slaves and do overloaded work, and then die early.

So Li Anyan's method was to buy those women who had not become Silla's maids.

Work in places such as weaving workshops can also be arranged in Kuoding County.

When the time comes that they meet the men in Kuoding County, they can get married and have children here.

"Listening to what you said, why do you feel that we are doing good deeds?" Yan Kai said a little depressed.

Human trafficking is indeed a huge impact on modern people.

And this kind of business is different from when he used glass beads to trick people back.

"If we buy more, will more women be sent to be trained as Silla maids?" Yan Kai asked with some doubts.

Li Anyan and Huang Rong thought about it and shook their heads and said, "Silla Kingdom is in such a situation right now. Most of their new girls are sent to be Silla maids."

"Adult men in their country want to start a family, and they will buy some discarded ones at a low price. So in fact, it makes no difference whether we are there or not."

Finally, Li Anyan added: "The only thing we need to worry about is that the pirates colluding with Silla may rob women from other places."

"But soon the entire East China Sea will be decided by us in Kuoding County."

The first blessing boat is ready to launch!

Yan Kai thought for a while, if that was the case, it was indeed a solution, and he could be regarded as doing good deeds and accumulating virtue!

"Okay, then contact the businessmen in Silla!"

Last time they were in Buyeo City, they had contacted many Silla businessmen, and those people must have connections.

"As for the pirates in the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea, tell them that the rules of our Kuoding County are the rules!"
