Chapter 169 Planning Illinois
"You should have a visual image of what Yizhou looks like, the county guard. Since the subordinates have memories, the imperial court has sent the county guard many times. Either they can't bear the hardship and leave on their own, or they die in battle or illness. The longest time does not exceed one year. Year.

The current Chen Zhubo is a businessman whose family has fallen. He is in charge of taxation in the city. The rest is currently managed by the city defenders. In addition to Sima, Zhu Bo, there are six school lieutenants in the army. Today there are three people, and one person is in charge. Tuntian, one person patrols, one person guards the city. "Zhao Guangren introduced carefully.

"It turns out that this is the case. If I want to make some changes, I still need your support, Guangren!" Situ Changfeng nodded and said.

"Please tell me the county guard! As long as it is beneficial to Yizhou, the subordinates will definitely cooperate!" Zhao Guangren clasped his hands solemnly.

"Illinois has been unable to develop because of population and security issues, so a certain person wants to recruit elites, clean up nearby horse thieves, and send troops to escort caravans, so as to drive the economy of Illinois!" Situ Changfeng explained.

"However, whether it is training soldiers or suppressing bandits, money and food are needed. These are the most lacking in Yizhou. Even weapons are not enough!" Zhao Guangren said awkwardly.

"This matter is easy to handle. Someone brought some of it from Luoyang, and we can find a solution for the rest!" Situ Changfeng said confidently.

"Can the sheriff make it clear!" Zhao Guangren asked curiously.

"Although Yizhou is barren and poor, there are indeed two good things, and it's located in an important road, so it's hard not to get rich." Before Situ Changfeng came, he had done a lot of homework and made some plans, so he would naturally be confident.

"Oh! Can the sheriff make Yizhou rich?" Zhao Guangren's eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly.

"Of course, the wind and sand here are extremely strong. If we only cultivate the land, I am afraid that we will not even be able to support people. Naturally, we have to find another way.

And the two major ores in Yizhou are a huge wealth. " Situ Changfeng explained.

"Is there any ore in Yizhou? The subordinates have lived here for several generations, so why have they never heard of it?" Zhao Guangren thought about it, then stared at Situ Changfeng suspiciously and asked.

"Naturally, it's something unexpected, otherwise it would have been taken by others." Situ Changfeng said with a smile.

"Okay! What do you need your subordinates to do? Ask the sheriff to give you an order!" Zhao Guangren stood up excitedly and clasped his fists.

"First, gather the merchants in the city, large and small, to meet them one night; second, recruit elite soldiers, tentatively set [-] elite soldiers." Situ Changfeng ordered.

"Yes! This subordinate understands, so let's do it!"

Not to mention that Zhao Guangren was excited to leave, Situ Changfeng took his bodyguards and went outside the city to investigate.

It wasn't until the sunset that Situ Changfeng returned to the city, and more than 20 merchants in the city were already waiting in the Sheriff's Mansion.

"The grassroots see the sheriff!"

Seeing Situ Changfeng, everyone stood up and saluted respectfully. They were not rude because of his young age. After all, people do not fight with officials.

"Everyone, please sit down! This is a general, and he speaks straightforwardly, so he will get straight to the point!" Situ Changfeng glanced at him and raised his hand as a signal.

"Please show me the county guard. If the grass people can do it, you will do it." A wealthy middle-aged businessman stood up with difficulty, bent slightly, and folded his hands as if listening.

"I want to collect wool! Whatever you want, no matter how you get the wool, I will give you two copper coins a catty!" Situ Changfeng picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, put it down, and said flatly.

"What? Sheriff, you want wool!" Everyone raised their heads in disbelief, staring at Situ Changfeng with wide eyes, thinking they heard it wrong.

You must know that wool is useless at all. Every year, a lot of sheep are replaced, and they fall into the sheepfold and can only be burned.

And in summer, fearing that the sheep would be too hot, some of the long ones had to be cut off.

"That's right, it's just wool. You don't have to worry about my official not paying you. As long as it arrives, you'll pay for it. This year's tentative plan is a million catties!" For everyone's performance, Situ Changfeng had already expected it. He stared down like a play and said.

"The grasslanders have agreed to this matter, and immediately buy it for you, the governor!" A fur merchant, who was about to travel to the grassland, immediately rushed to agree.

In his mind, it was just a matter of spending a little effort. As for money, there was nothing more to say. Since Situ Changfeng said it in public, naturally there would be no falsehood.

"Very good! Knowing that many of you have masters behind your back, tell them that I need food in large quantities, and as long as the price is reasonable, it will be shipped in. In addition, spread the meaning of my official, and from now on, through Yi All goods in the state are no longer taxed, but those traded in the city must pay taxes." Situ Changfeng nodded and continued.

"Yes, Caomin and others will definitely do it!" All the businessmen replied happily with smiles, their affection for Situ Changfeng was soaring, looking at Situ Changfeng was like seeing a boy who gave away money.

"Brother Situ, do you want wool? You can get it with just a little money. Why let those vampires earn it? It's really impossible. Zhao will just bring his brothers to grab it for you." Zhao Guangren said puzzled.

"Hehe, thank you Guangren for your kindness. It's something that can be done with a little money. Why let the brothers risk their lives." Situ Changfeng said indifferently.

"I don't know what you use the wool for?" Bo Chen Shouru asked.

"This matter has to trouble Master Bo. First, the received wool needs to be piled up, and second, we need to gather a group of people to build a workshop by the river outside the city. Then the wool will come in handy." Situ Changfeng ordered road.

"This subordinate takes orders!" Seeing that Situ Changfeng didn't explain, Chen Shouru had no choice but to suppress his doubts.

"Guangren! Here, here, you take people to occupy it, call the people to mine ore, give the people a penny a day, and three meals a day." Situ Changfeng took out the simple map he drew, pointed to it and continued to give instructions, and then He took out the samples he brought back during the day and showed them.

"This is carbon! Although it can be burned, it has a strong smell and is not easy to burn. Every year, people die from carbon poisoning." Chen Shouru glanced at it and said.

"Not bad! But I have a way to make it easy to burn. As for carbon poisoning, it only needs to be ventilated.

The other is the place where no grass grows. This mine is called alkali, which is collected first. The alkali mine can be mined less. How much carbon is there and how much is needed? After mining, it will be piled up at the foot of the mountain. After it is made , in the shipment back. " Situ Changfeng continued to order.

"Subordinates understand! I'll do it tomorrow!" Zhao Guangren nodded vigorously. Seeing Situ Changfeng's plan for Yizhou, he felt more passionate.

After all, Situ Changfeng paid so much money for real money, he didn't believe it was just doing good deeds.
