Xinhua City.
As the winter snowfall begins, the rangers and heroes who have gone to the Three Mountains and Five Mountains to pan for gold have returned to this relatively safe and warm city for the winter.
Now, the Andong Protectorate has also adapted and got used to it, and every winter, more than 30,000 or even more than 50,000 rangers and heroes come to Xinhua and other places to spend the winter.
In order to meet the needs of these grandfathers for alcohol and various luxury goods.
After entering September, the route from Qilu to North Korea was lined with ships transporting various supplies.
The Lou Chuan Yamen and the Lord Duwei Yamen became the first beneficiaries of this grand event.
Just collect the transportation costs and taxes of these merchant ships.
Lou Chuan and the lord are all lieutenants, and the yamen counted the money until their hands hurt.
Merchants are also willing to invest in this aspect After all, transporting a thousand stone of liquor and coming to Anton can make more than twice as much of a windfall profit if it changes hands In comparison, the shipping and taxes are drizzling The second beneficiary is the reclamation regiments in various parts of Andong and the counties under Anton's rule.
Every year, the number of gold diggers is close to 100,000 or even nearly 200,000 at the peak.
Let everyone who grows food in Anton smile from ear to ear.
The appetite of these 100,000 or 200,000 young men is like a bottomless pit.
They devour untold quantities of grain, wine and meat every day.
Especially in winter.
In Xinhua City alone, last winter, these people ate more than 1 million stone of grain, more than 5,000 stone of wine, more than 50,000 horses of cloth, in addition, more than 200,000 catties of iron.
And that's just one of the cities In Anton, there are two or three places where rangers like Xinhua spend the winter Although the number and scale of the gathering are not as large as those of Xinhua.
However, the food they ate and the goods they consumed were enough to make the reclamation groups in Andong, as well as the immigrants from North Korea and the immigrants from Xinhua, eat with their mouths full of oil It was precisely by relying on the consumption of these masters that all the reclamation regiments in Anton repaid the arrears and investments of the imperial court in advance.
In other words, from now on, the people of these cantonment groups will be free.
They can legally own the land they have cultivated and the houses they have built.
These are the property that they can pass on to their future generations.
Even, some people who are well-run or wealthy cantonment groups still have money and savings to spare.
And the third beneficiary was the fiefdom of the nobles of the princes.
The influx of immigrants and rangers from all parts of Andong has created a huge consumer market no less than in any kingdom in China.
Here, anything can be sold for a price.
Whether it's the beasts of the mountains, or the ginseng of the mountains, or the fish caught in the water.
Even, even if you have nothing in your fiefdom, you can get rich by logging.
Even if it is a pig, as long as it is not squandered indiscriminately, just relying on the output of the feudal country itself is enough to obtain the resources necessary to develop the feudal country. pity Most of the nobles, although not pigs, have never changed their love of comparison, show-off and extravagance.
So, these guys take the money earned from the resources of the feudal kingdom and squander and spend it everywhere.
For a big dog that is domesticated for a Hao person or Wuheng person, there are many people who spend hundreds of gold.
And in order to marry a lady from South Korea who is a lady of North Korea, throwing hundreds of gold and hundreds of gold out is not a thing Thus, in Andong, the feudal kingdom of the princes was amazing.
However, most of the feudal development funds of the lieges still need to be taken from the interior Of course, the sons and nephews of the princes also have their own reasons for Lao Capital to be concubines, and this grace will probably not have anything to do with me in the future Case Why should I save money for the sons and daughters of the lord's house?
Only those princes who sent their sons-in-law or even sons to preside over the construction of the Garn feudal kingdom here were barely able to make ends meet.
And some of the more shrewd guys, even, by virtue of the grace of the feudal state, have earned more wealth than the feudal tax in China.
As a result, the addition of these princes made the trade and commercial atmosphere of the whole Anton stronger So much so that some businessmen shouted that they wanted to reproduce the great cause of Tao Zhugong in Andong and build this place into the Cao Kingdom of the world.
But in fact, right now, it's the changes in Anton and the changes in the market.
It is not a businessman, nor a reclamation regiment or an immigrant, but also an army and an official government. but From all directions, all over the world, for the common ideals and aspirations, the rangers and heroes who come across the mountains and seas.
It was they who worked tirelessly and risked their lives to go deep into the various parts of Andong to pan for gold.
Their hard-working gold was dug out of the sand of the river and the sand.
Then, charcoal is burned to melt the sand gold into a gold cake.
Finally, they took the gold cake and entered the bazaar and the city.
Money comes too quickly, and naturally it will be spent quickly.
What's more, most of the rangers and heroes believe in the motto of life that the daughter is gone and comes back, and there is wine today and drunk today.
As a result, they attracted merchants from all over the world.
As a result, they are constantly consuming all kinds of goods.
They are like schools of fish that migrate regularly every year in the Blackwater River.

Schools of fish with sharp teeth, strong physiques and abundant fat.
The beast that attracts the whole of Anton.
Bears, wolves, leopards, tigers, and eagles crouch on both sides of the river every summer.
And these schools of fish and beasts eventually attracted humans.
And guide human beings, constantly going up, looking for their final destination.
It is no exaggeration to say that without migratory fish, the current ecology of Anton will collapse immediately.
In the same way, there are no these rangers and heroes who came to Anton to pan for gold.
Anton's market will collapse immediately.
Ranger and hero, the thorn in the side of the Han dynasty and the destroyer of social order in the past, have become the number one main force for ethnic integration, border guarding, and development and construction in this new solid land But the main forces do not have half of the so-called sense of mission and responsibility.
They were divided into regions and townships, and gathered in different areas of Xinhua City.
Even on a street.
Probably, the first half of the street is the territory of the Qi people, but the second half belongs to the heroes of Yan Zhao or Bashu.
Each force guards its own territory, there is no matter or conflict, and it will never interfere with others.
The reason is very simple, if you go to other people's territory and something happens, attracting soldiers from the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate and even the thieves, then everyone will not be able to eat and walk away.
Thus, the ideal society of the escapist school of the old school.
Chickens and dogs smell each other, old and dead do not get along, but in this winter Xinhua City, it can be realized.
"Mother" a big man wearing a burlap shirt and a layer of animal skin wrapped in his coat to keep warm held a wine jug, gulped and drank most of the pot of wine, and then wiped his lips and said to the left and right with a big grin: "This place in Andong, everything is good, even if it is cold and dead in winter, I should have taken everyone back to Hanoi in the autumn, and the province will suffer here."
"What the eldest brother said is" Several strong men around also nodded in agreement.
However, this is also just lip service.
Who is willing to leave Anton Aren't you afraid that next spring, when the ice and snow melt, the territory that you have taken a lot of effort last year and killed and injured many brothers will be occupied?
Not to mention, in this land of wealth.
Even if it is just one day less gold, the loss is an astronomical amount of gold or even a dozen gold In the past, everyone used to be dogs for businessmen and Haoqiang in Hanoi, ignoring their conscience, bullying their fellow villagers, and even harming people's lives.
When the masters are happy, they will give a little good.
Then, if there is something, everyone needs to gamble with their lives What is better than being here in Anton, eating meat, drinking wine, sending money home, supporting the family, and even sending children to school As a ranger, who wants his children and grandchildren to be like himself, arrested by the government, spurned by his neighbors, and become the dogs of the powerful In the past, there was no opportunity and no hope However, if today's son is examined with one hand and reclaimed with the other, everyone sees hope.
As long as you make money, send your heirs to a famous teacher, study for three years and five years, and then go to Chang'an to participate in the examination.
Rely on knowledge to speak, and use your skills to earn a bright future for your family Therefore, despite the fierce competition in Anton, the big guy lives a life of licking blood from the knife in order to keep his gold rush lot.
Even, he had to endure Anton's polar night and bone-chilling cold in winter.
But, the big guys are willing.
In his own generation, he can't read a single word, and his background is even more humble. can only rely on this cheap life and this strength to seek a future for future generations.
"I heard that this year the imperial court is going to war with the Huns" A man said: "Damn, it's a pity that I'm on Anton's side, otherwise, I will definitely go to the army" When the others heard this, they were also depressed.
Today, it is recognized that the promised land of the great husband and hero is the army.
Martial arts, the cadre of the country, the wings of the Son of Heaven, the minions of Sheji, and the son of Li Shu The entire empire, from top to bottom, was proud to have soldiers at home.
Because, the status of the military is high If there is a soldier in the family, then the family is honored.
The local officials did not dare to exploit at all.
If there is a pawn of the field army, it will be the glory of the whole pavilion Not only the parents and brothers in the family will be respected and looked up to, even if they are harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, no one dares to spread it on the family members of a field army.
Now, the eight masters of Qiu can really be said to be arrogant soldiers Whoever dares to spread the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes on the families of these masters, if their commanders know about it, they will react to the military judge every minute, and the military judge will reflect it to Sima and the school captain, Sima Xiaowei is in a better mood, that is, he asks about the situation, and if he is in a bad mood, then he will have a lot of fun.
People directly sent a letter to the local county guard and county lieutenant: Is your county dissatisfied with our XX army?
When the local county guard and the county lieutenant saw the letter, they were immediately frightened.
Because God knows, these current Sima lieutenants will not become generals and marquis next year I can't afford to offend Then, those ignorant officials will automatically and consciously disappear from people's sight.
If there is a pawn of the Son of Heaven like Yu Linwei or Hu Benwei Then it can only be said that as long as the whole family does not break the law, they can go sideways.
There is no land at home It does not matter The clever officials in the local area will immediately give a fertile official land to their homes at a very low price.
Taxes are unbelievably low, almost indistinguishable from giving them for nothing The heirs of the family have no wives That's even more joyful Immediately, a local gentry would come to the door, willing to send a concubine and a large dowry to the door, just to settle the family affair Because, the main soldiers of Yu Linwei and Hu Benwei are retired, at least they are also wandering in the township, even the county wardens, and even the county lords and servants Its treatment is higher than that of ordinary examination scholars It is a real golden beetle son-in-law For the rangers who claim to be heroes and husbands, one of their ultimate dreams is, of course, to become a member of the Han army, make meritorious contributions, and glorify their ancestors.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as there is an opportunity, the entire rangers of Anton will line up at the gate of the barracks, waiting for the selection of the army.
It's a pity By the time Anton's rangers learned the news, it was too late.
Even if everyone plugs in their wings, they won't be able to fly to the clouds of the Great Wall, Yanmen and Shangdai to join the army.

It's really a sigh of relief "Alas" many people shook their heads and sighed, regretting it.
"It would be nice if the Huns came to fight Anton" I don't know who sighed and fantasized for a while, and suddenly, this YY idea immediately resonated with many people.
Oh, yes If the Huns don't open their eyes, come to Anton Everyone smiled at each other with bad intentions, and then touched the sword at his waist and the bow and arrow on his back.
The heads of the Huns are much easier to find than the gold in the river.
If you want to pan for gold, it takes a dozen people a day of hard work and good luck.
But the head of a Hun is worth nearly one gold.
What's more, the Huns are cavalry, and their war horses and livestock are also very valuable It's hateful Everyone shook their heads, those Hun barbarians probably won't come here.
Their main force should be at the foot of the Great Wall or outside the fortress, and they were so restrained by the main force of the Han army that they couldn't move.
I want the Huns to fly in front of the big guys Unless a miracle happens, it's almost impossible "Drink, drink," everyone said helplessly, holding their glasses.
Bo Shi, standing at the head of Xinhua City, looking at the mountains and rivers outside the city.
Nearly four years have passed since he set out from Chang'an and came here to take over the Xinhua Order and concurrently serve as the Protector of the Governor.
It has been almost two years since his Andong Protectorate Yamen was established.
Andong Protectorate and Huaihua County were built by him bit by bit, and watched them grow. pity "I only have four years," Bo Shi sighed, and in four years he had to step down as Governor of Anton and return to Chang'an.
Not surprisingly, the guard lieutenant or lieutenant general in Jiuqing is what he has in his bag.
It's just that "I have no military merits, and after I go back, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public" Bo Shi rubbed his temples, and then walked down the city wall. t1706231537:
