Chapter 526

"How many? I want them all!" As soon as Shang Ji finished speaking, Han Fu shouted impatiently.

Seeing this, Yuan Shao's eyes flashed coldly, and then quickly restrained his emotions, pretending to be indifferent.

Before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Yuan family of four generations and three princes was one of the strongest political forces in the dynasty. Under such circumstances, there is naturally no shortage of Yuan's disciples.

And Han Fu is one of the more famous disciples of the Yuan family. Han Fu relied on the Yuan family as his backer, and after Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, he also became a prince of one side. He was also a wealthy Jizhou governor, and he envied others.

However, Yuan Shao, as one of the leaders of the younger generation of the Yuan family, was only the governor of Bohai County, and legally speaking, he was Han Fu's subordinate.

After Yuan Shao took office as governor of Bohai County, he hinted at Han Fu's food and funds several times. However, with the changes in the world, Han Fu obviously became self-reliant, and he didn't care much about the former owner of the Yuan family.

From Yuan Shao's point of view, Han Fu's act of blatant betrayal is absolutely intolerable.

And Han Fu's yelling just now aroused the resentment in Yuan Shao's heart. If it wasn't for the inappropriate location and the fact that they didn't want the scandal of the Yuan family to be made public, the two would have torn apart long ago.

"Heh, you are not afraid of the wind flashing your tongue on the Hangeul Festival. There are so many people here, why should I give it to you?"

Yuan Shao was concerned about his influence, and he didn't want to refute Han Fu's face in public, but some people didn't care about it at all, and it was Gongsun Zan, governor of Yuyang County, who spoke!

"Gongsun Bogui! You..." Han Fu looked at Gongsun Zan, but before he finished speaking, he heard Zhang Yang next to him say, "Han Jizhou, brother Bogui's words are rough and not rough. General Shang is thinking of everyone. Transfer some war horses. But you want to eat alone, what do everyone here think?"

"That's right, I'll give it all to you, and you won't be afraid to eat too much and be stuffed to death!"

"General Shang, for the sake of past affection, please ask General Shang to leave a copy for Xuande, Xuande is very grateful!"

"What? The starting price for your Korean festival, is it possible that I, Yuan Gonglu, are poor ghosts?"

………………………

Faced with everyone's cynicism, Han Fu blushed immediately, but he didn't leave like normal!

Without him, the price given by Shang Ji is too cheap, so cheap that even if the princes give up their demeanor, they will have a share of the pie.

When the beacon fire was just opened,

The price of a low-grade war horse in the Liaodong area was about eight gold. Later, as the players' wallets bulged, the price of the war horse rose slightly, to around ten gold.

Then, with the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Fenghuo entered a period of war, the price of war horses soared, and the low-grade war horses started at 15 gold.

If it is placed in the southern region, don't even think about it for less than 20 gold!

And the price offered by Shangji is only ten gold. Even if you don't use it yourself, you can make a lot of money by selling it at such a cheap price. Naturally, everyone will loot it regardless of face.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the princes, Shang Jijun smiled slightly and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, "Don't worry, everyone, there are two million high-quality war horses for sale in Pingzhou. Everyone has a share, so don't worry!"

"Shangping Prefecture, Bohai wants 300,000 horses, please allow the general!"

"Taishan County needs 100,000 horses..."

"Chen Liu wants 200,000 horses..."

"Changsha wants 200,000 horses..."

………………………

When they heard that there were more than 2 million horses, and the supply was sufficient, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then they couldn't wait to report the expected quantity.

"Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient, be safe and don't be impatient, I still have a small condition that I didn't say!"

Everyone was sobered up when they heard it. Sure enough, there is no such thing as a pie in the sky. Shang Ji made the price so low, there must be other conditions.

"Shangping Prefecture, please speak up!"

"Pingzhou is vast and sparsely populated. I am always anxious about the safety of Pingzhou. There is not enough population. How can I resist foreign invaders? Immigration is imminent. I hope that every time you buy a war horse, you will send a family of immigrants to Pingzhou State!"

Upside down, Shang Ji finally shifted the key to the basic issue of population.

"A population?"

The princes were taken aback when they heard the words, and then quickly calculated the gains and losses in their hearts.

In the Han Dynasty, a standard household had five people, that is to say, an additional five people in Pingzhou were needed to buy a war horse. To put it simply, one mouthful is worth two gold coins!

According to the normal rules of population trading, an ordinary person is of course more than two gold, but what the merchant wants is the people, not the slaves. In other words, these relocated populations are still free people, but they just changed their place of residence and their taxpayers.

Packing a family of five freedmen into Pingzhou as slaves and persuading a family of five to immigrate to Pingzhou are two completely different concepts.

Taking Jizhou as an example, the population density is 100 times that of Pingzhou. The land is small, the population is large, and the conflict is sharp. Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to persuade the people under the rule to migrate to Pingzhou.

Moreover, doing so is very conducive to alleviating contradictions, stabilizing governance,

If the local princes are a little darker, they can use political means to force the lower class people to go bankrupt and artificially create refugees. While completing the population migration, it can also scrape a layer of people's fat and people's ointment.

Although everyone knows that population is the foundation of everything, but now that the troubled times are not clear, without the baptism of war, the population is still very rich, and they don't realize the preciousness of population at all! Exchange the population for war horses, the princes feel that they are very profitable!

However, Shangji's conditions were very unfriendly to remote forces like Yanhuang and Lu Bu who also lacked population. Lu Bu's lips twitched several times, but he still couldn't speak in the end.

After a while of thinking, the princes reported the new order quantity one after another.

Yuan Shao still had 300,000 horses, and Han Fu aggressively asked for 500,000 horses, winning the sales champion. Liu Bei asked for 100,000 yuan, Cao Cao asked for 150,000 yuan, Sun Jian asked for 150,000 yuan, and Yuan Shu asked for 300,000 yuan.

Kong Rong asked for 200,000 yuan, Ma Teng asked for 100,000 yuan, and Jia Xu took the remaining 200,000 yuan on behalf of Dong Zhuo.

As for Zhang Yang, Gongsun Zan, Yanhuang, and Lu Bu, although they are also extremely eye-catching, their own territory is still sparsely populated, and forced immigration will endanger their ruling foundation, and the gains outweigh the losses.

The princes who got the horses were very happy, and so was Shang Ji.

Not to mention the 20 million funds in the account, at the same time, another 10 million people will resist Pingzhou in the next two months. This is exciting and good news for Pingzhou.

After confirming the transaction method, transaction time and other details, the princes from all walks of life began to say goodbye.

It has been half a month since the implementation of Pingzhou. In the past half month, the princes from all walks of life have been irritated. I don’t know how many people are holding back their breath. They plan to go back and work hard to rectify the army. Not to mention reaching the level of Pingzhou, at least not too far behind. Under the crisis of survival, the vassals broke out with 200% action power, and Huaxia District seemed to be thriving for a while. Shang Ji's move can be regarded as a disguised improvement of the comprehensive national strength of the Huaxia District!

However, not all the princes left, Yanhuang Liren and Lu Bu stayed temporarily, obviously they still had something to talk about.
