Chapter Two Hundred and Fifty Efforts to Restrain

It was April, and although the spring was still cold in the north, it was already a time for activities. Chen Bing had been staying in Jeju Island for several months. He said he was going to the north to cultivate land, but there was no news.

It is said that the weather there is bitterly cold and cannot accommodate people in winter. If you go there, you will suffer heavy losses. It is appropriate to go there in May or June.

"This time, you will go to Jinshan City. Due to the war in the Central Plains, there is a shortage of manpower. More manpower is needed to go to the north. The thousand or so people in front of us are not enough. We in Jeju Island have always been short of people, so we can only go to

Jinshan City!"

When the steward said this, Chen Bing had some questions: "Where is Jinshan City?"

"It's the former Linggao Port. His Majesty thought the name was too convoluted, so he changed the name!"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is very wise!"

Chen Bing couldn't help but sigh, although the name is a little bit local, it was given by the emperor, which makes it different.

Immediately, he brought hundreds of Bohai soldiers to the prosperous Jinshan City. Different from the luxury of Jeju Port, this place was full of impatience and seriousness. Merchant ships from the north and south all rested here for repairs and needed to use them.

Less time to complete trades.

And more Japanese people are impatient and eager to make money, which in turn affects the atmosphere of the city. This kind of anger makes Chen Bing very happy, and his mood is also impatient.

"The captain came just in time. If you need anything, just let me know. You're welcome!" Chen Bing does not have an official position, but he still has the rank of sixth-grade captain, which is relatively high.

The people who manage Jinshan City are not officials, but the chief steward of the Li Chamber of Commerce. In addition to being an official, he is also busy managing the branch of the Chamber of Commerce in Jinshan City, which is really busy.

"Come here, you lead the captain to the selection!" Chen Bing was led out of the yamen by another person before he could see the appearance of the chief steward. He was a little confused.

"Don't worry, Colonel. Manager Yao is really busy. This is not a lie!" The person leading the way said with a smile, fearing that he would be dissatisfied: "In the near future, His Majesty will re-plan the Shaofu Temple and will split the Chamber of Commerce.

Entering, inside and outside, there are so many branches and managers, all busy without touching the ground!"

"In recent days, there has been an addition of white sugar. This thing has a price but no market. There are many people looking to buy it. Don't ignore it..."

After saying this, most of the anger in Chen Bing's heart disappeared in an instant. He was busy with his official position. This is understandable. Isn't it because he came all the way here just for his official position?

"This time when we go to the north, Bohai people alone are not enough. If they have different intentions, it will ruin the big thing. Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce wants to recruit some Japanese people to go there, which can be considered as mutual checks and balances!"

The businessman leading the way smiled and said while walking, which made people feel happy without knowing it.

"That's right. There are only a few hundred Han people, and the Bohai people who control thousands of them can't be justified. I have always heard that the Japanese are hardworking and obedient. It would be good to recruit some!"

Thinking in his mind, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously. Seeing this, the businessman leading the way breathed a sigh of relief, and his words were not in vain.

"Please come over here. This is the patrol camp. We have already selected some for the captains. They are all docile young men who understand Chinese, but there are not many of them!"

Riding a carriage, it didn't take a moment to arrive at the patrol camp. This yamen was responsible for the security of Jinshan City. There were thousands of people, of whom Bohai and Japanese accounted for 70%.

"That's all?" Looking at the hundreds of people in front of him, they were only about five feet tall, with some flesh on their cheeks. They all looked young and strong, with some blood on their faces. Otherwise, Chen Bing would have turned away and left, which would be too bullying.

"Captain Lieutenant, these are considered good among the Japanese!"

Hearing this, Chen Bing fell silent for a moment, remained silent for a long time, and said: "That's it! Isn't there more? Take me to see it!"

He had already mentally reduced the number of recruits to three hundred.

"Those Japanese are quite good. They were selected from tens of thousands of people. They were trained to cultivate wasteland and farm outside the city. This can be regarded as supporting them for a while!"

Immediately, Chen Bing came to a vibrant land outside the city. The green rice was growing well. It must not be long before it is harvested.

"It doesn't make sense to always rely on food from Jeju Island, so the city organized people to reclaim wasteland last year. These Japanese soldiers were used to cultivate 1,000 hectares of land. In half a year, we will be self-sufficient.

No more buying food!”

The businessman who led the way was very emotional. Most of the labor force in Jinshan City went to mine, and a large number of businessmen came over. Even if they bought the Japanese, the food was never enough, so they had to import it from Jeju Island, which cost a lot of money.

This is equivalent to working for Jeju Island, and the profit is not enough. This will affect the performance of Jinshan City and affect the future!

"After half a year, the food from Jinshan City can even flow back to Panyu!" The businessman shook his head proudly, as if he had anticipated the prospect of his promotion.

Chen Bing didn't care about so much, so he looked around and saw that the Japanese were driving buffaloes, reclaiming wasteland, weeding and turning soil, and they were all very skilled.

Looking at the height, they are all about five feet, and their arms are strong and their center of gravity is stable, which is really good.

"Everyone, stop, everyone, stop. A big official from the city is coming. Come here, all of you!"

Willow was digging the soil. When he heard the words, he felt happy and quickly put down his farming tools. He had already seen those well-dressed officials. When he heard the order, he couldn't hold back the joy in his heart and ran quickly.

The alarm bell rang, and in the vast wasteland, all the Japanese seemed to have received the code word of the signal, and ran quickly to assemble. Everyone was already familiar with this signal for resting at night.

He remembered what Sanniang had said, and quickly stood up straight, held his head high, threw his long hair behind him, and stared at the Han officials in front of him with burning eyes. He knew that his future depended on them.

in hand.

"Those who can speak Chinese stay, and everyone else disperses!" the merchant said in Japanese. In an instant, most of the thousand people dispersed, leaving only more than three hundred people.

"It's not bad, there are three hundred people!" This voice came to his ears, and he felt particularly happy.

"I'm barely tall, and my figure has some fat, that's all!"

After more than a month of intensive study, Liu Yao instantly understood that he had finally become a soldier and a city citizen.

"Are you willing to accept it? If you join the army, you will have to leave your hometown. The specific pension is the same as that of the Han people!"

"I do!" Most people said in unison, and the joy on their faces could no longer be concealed.

Later, Liu Tiao was registered and had his own surname - Liu. Since he was the third in the family, his name was San Tiao, Liu San Tiao. He also had his own household register and household registration card, and was suddenly given an Anjia ten thousand dollars.
