Transmigrated to another world to start a live broadcast

After everything was clarified, Jian Shi was not in a hurry.

Anyway, he is a loner, and he can live well in any world, so he is completely unmoved by the various temptations of Xing Shao and Zhang Tianhua. Instead, he has begun to pay attention to the practice, studying the strangeness of this exercise every day. place.

Before a few days of in-depth research, Yongyi City encountered a big problem—many refugees from Xia Kingdom came.

There were mixed people in this group of refugees, some were desperate people who were persecuted by the taxation of the Xia Kingdom, some were from the Yue Kingdom who had no money and were rejected by the Xia Kingdom, so they crossed the mountains and ridges to go to the Qi Kingdom, and some It was a merchant from the Xia Kingdom, who brought all his wealth and hired some strong men to come to Qi to seek development.

Looking at the huge city wall more than ten feet high not far away, a merchant's wife asked anxiously: "Master, do you think the Qi State is willing to accept us people? Now that the vassal states are in endless wars, Qi State is so weak. , is it really okay for us to come here?"

"Cui Niang, don't worry, I don't know how much better this city wall is than Xia Guo's. In addition, I have a few acquaintances in Qi State. When we enter Qi, they will have ways to help us settle down. Yes." The man looked at his wife and children beside him, and said with emotion: "If it weren't for the fact that Xia Guo's business tax is too high, how could we leave our hometown at this juncture."

Speaking of this matter, the men who came from merchants also complained quite a bit.

All the vassal states have always been based on agriculture, and merchants are last, but no one can deny that merchants are the most profitable big households.Right now, Xia Guo and Yu Guo are joining forces to carve up the Yue country, but the money they should collect is not as much as expected. Generally speaking, this is a loss.

It took several days for King Xia to know that there was a flood in the Yue Kingdom recently, and all the money was used to repair the river to appease the refugees, and even this war was all money taken from Qi Yunhao's private small warehouse.Although Xia and Yu conquered the three vassal states together, the follow-up resettlement and garrison defense are all big problems, and the root of these problems lies in money.

Does resettling refugees need money?

Conscription asks for money, right?

Repairing the dilapidated palace and houses also requires money, right?

When asking for money everywhere, Xia Wang Qi Yunlang remembered that they were the most despised merchants. Not only did the tax increase by 20%, even the purchase price of the goods also increased.Businessmen are profit-seeking, and no matter how hard they work when both sides are rising, they will make money for King Xia.

Besides, the most profitable things are the objects used by the nobles.

Now the nobles in Xia Kingdom are afraid of being targeted by King Xia, all of them are pretending to start shrinking their clothes and dieting. They don’t buy the most profitable items in the past, and the merchants have no source of profit, so they simply sell everything. The brothers who dragged their families and brought their mouths to defect to Qi State.

He received the news a few days ago that the whole country of Qi is under rapid construction, and the King of Qi even set up a commercial street in Yongyi City. Every day, many people do business there, plus the taxes there Compared with the surrounding vassal states, I don't know how much cheaper it is, so it's better to give it a try.

An Niang touched her son's soft hair with one hand, and said worriedly: "But now we come here with the refugees, what if the Qi Kingdom doesn't open the city gate?"

The man was taken aback after hearing this, and immediately said: "Hey, then we can only resign ourselves to fate."

Xia Guo and the others couldn't stay any longer, so they came to Qi State with all their eggs in one basket, hoping that Qi State would not disappoint them.

The family huddled in the ox cart anxiously.

The water and food brought by the refugees outside had already been almost consumed, and they all stood under the city gate with numb expressions, knocking on the city gate again and again.

"Let us in!"

"Let me in..."

Seeing that there were more and more refugees, and they had already gathered a large scale, the consuls did not dare to make decisions, so they hurriedly sent soldiers to the palace to report.

Qi Xie received the message, pondered for a while, then turned his head and said to the courtiers under the main hall: "Now the refugees have gathered in a large scale, I wonder if you have a solution now?"

Xia Liang took the lead to stand up and raised his voice: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I think we should close the city gates and not allow the refugees to enter Qi. Now our country of Qi has just stabilized. If a large number of refugees flood into our country, it will undoubtedly cause great harm. Large-scale turmoil. Besides, no one can guarantee that there will be no spies from Xia and Yu. If they take advantage of the loopholes, it will be very bad for our country Qi."

As soon as Xia Liang's words came out, many people opened their mouths to agree, Qi Xie raised his eyelids, half of the people agreed.

Qi Xie suddenly felt irritated, and turned his gaze: "I don't know what Mr. Shang's opinion is?"

"I think that the current refugee seeks help from our Qi State because they think that living in Qi State is far safer and happier than living in other vassal states, so they will go to our Qi State without asking for help." Shang Yang said: "If At this time, we shut them out, which undoubtedly chilled the fiery hearts of these people. We should immediately send people to open the city gates, bring the hungry and tired people into the city, and make more reasonable arrangements for them. Make arrangements to integrate into Qi country as soon as possible."

Before Shang Yang could express his opinion, a middle-aged man shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, you can't believe Mr. Shang's words! Now that the city gates are closed, we can still keep our country safe. If refugees are allowed to enter the city, there will be spies mixed in." , is more dangerous!"

Shang Yang squinted his eyes and found out that he was from the Ministry of Households, so he said, "Then according to your Ministry of Households, is it okay to let these people wait outside the city gate to die?"

The middle-aged man said confidently: "Naturally let them go back and forth wherever they want."

When Huang Qian, the servant of the household department, heard that he was from his own household department, he was so frightened that he stood up and said: "Return to your lord, the opinion of Mr. Li does not represent the opinion of my household department. It is also an opportunity for the Qi State. At the beginning, Jane..." Huang Qian couldn't help but stop talking about this person, looked up at the young emperor with white hair, and continued to say, "Master Jian once said However, any development is inseparable from manpower, if we take refugees into Qi State and arrange corresponding jobs for them, we will definitely be able to accelerate the construction and development of our Qi State and create more benefits and value.”

When the people from Dong Liang's group heard that Huang Qian had moved Jian Shi out, they were as quiet as chickens, not daring to show their spirits.

At the beginning, it was their faction who advocated that the king of Qi accepted the beauty sent by the Three Kingdoms for the marriage, so that he made a big mistake, and that person was a taboo that all courtiers knew. It would be boring for Huang Qian to dare to carry him out!

But they waited and waited for a long time, but they didn't wait for Qi Xie's furious rebuke and killing intent.

After a long time, the people above said coldly: "If I know about it, I will follow Mr. Shang and Huang Shilang's method. No matter how many refugees come here, they will all be accepted and resettled outside Yongyi City."

After saying that, he walked away without any sign of anger.

All the courtiers were stunned, and for a moment they could only sigh with emotion that Jian Shi's name is really useful, look, now Huang Shilang's light words have settled the matter!

Only Shang Yang knew the inside story, walked up to Huang Qian and said calmly, "Huang Shilang, please give me your advice in the next few days."

"You are polite, you are polite."

Huang Qian also took a great risk to stand up and speak for Shang Yang.

Now the burden falls on the two of them, and it will be some time to work together.

……

Under the tall city gate at the mouth of the gorge, there are more and more refugees, and the sun is getting hotter and hotter. Many people have sat under the trees in despair and waited to die.

They all stayed here for a day and a night and the Qi State still didn't open the city gate, it seemed that they were deliberately not letting them enter the city.

At this moment, a male voice that can be called the sound of nature came from the city gate——

"Listen up, people downstairs. Everyone queues up according to the left side of the young and middle-aged people, and the right side of the women, children, and elderly people. They will enter the city in order later. Don't loot!"

"We have prepared enough food and water to ensure that everyone has it. After the city gate is opened, everyone must undergo a medical examination before entering the customs. Do you understand?"

The commander on the city gate repeated it five times, seeing the light of hope in the eyes of the slumped refugees below the city gate, he couldn't help but unload the burden in his heart.

Although he is a qualified general, he is also an individual.

Wars broke out everywhere, and the people who were the first to be affected were the people. Now that King Qi was willing to accept them, a sense of pride surged in his heart for no reason.

Look, their King Qi is benevolent and loves the people, treating them like sons.

Even the people of other countries, only Qi can accommodate them and accept them wholeheartedly!

The refugees under the city gate wept with joy, and they burst out with heartfelt gratitude. They all bowed down to the city gate sincerely to show their submission.

Soon, the two teams lined up in a mighty long queue. Some of them tried to jump in line and booed, but they were beaten up by the soldiers who were dispatched immediately, and they were obedient. Honestly wait in line.

Merchants and their wives and children lined up in different queues, looking at each other, their eyes full of hope for the future life.

The queue moved forward very fast, but it was their turn after a while, An Niang accepted the interrogation anxiously with the baby in her arms, and then entered the box door.

"Come on, come and drink some soup."

A handsome young man smiled softly at An Niang.

An Niang held the child and asked a little uneasy: "Here, what kind of medicine is this?"

The young man was none other than Gongsun Qi. He quickly poured two bowls of soup and said with a smile: "For those who treat dysentery, the weather is hot. I think you didn't bring much water. You must have brought a lot of water from the river on the way." Drink, it’s just that there are many dirty things in the river that we can’t see with the naked eye, which can easily cause dysentery, so drink a bowl to prevent it.”

An Niang thanked him, took the child in her arms and drank it down in one gulp.

Seeing that the mother and son looked okay, Gongsun Qi said: "That's fine, you go to the back to get some food first."

An Niang thanked her again, and led the child back.
