"Your Highness, there are currently about 8,000 people moving from other states to Jingzhou, and the officials have distributed the land to them."

In the Qinzheng Hall, Li Ran reported to Liu Jun about the population drainage policy during this period.

After returning from Xinghua Garden, Liu Jun called Li Ran and asked about this.

"It's too slow." Liu Jun frowned.

Li Ran sighed, "Your Highness, most of the people are illiterate, and it is too slow to rely on word of mouth, so this situation is caused."

"I didn't blame you, I just asked about it. Compared with the victims who bought by Hu Wei, this drainage strategy is too useless. Since this is the case, the government orders must follow the situation." Liu Jun said.

Li Ran nodded. Hu Wei has indeed been very passionate these days.

"Let's do this, the drainage strategy will be suspended. For the time being, the free land will be taken back to the government. In the future, slaves will be placed to farm. Depending on their performance, they will return their freedom to become a citizen of Jingzhou in a few years. What do you think?"

"It's the best." After the traffic-driving order was not effective, he also had this idea.

After deciding on this matter, Liu Jun continued: "The current disaster in the five states is a major disaster, and the Han King is ambitious, and I am afraid that a turmoil that will affect the entire Rong Dynasty will come."

"What Your Highness said is that the King of Han has reached Jingzhou, and he will not stand by and watch the disasters in the five states." The chaos in Haoshan Prefecture was only a matter of more than a month ago.

Fortunately, Liu Jun was able to pacify him in time.

"So the main task of the government next is to lead the victims who have bought to reclaim wasteland and solve the population problem in one fell swoop." Liu Jun said: "At the same time, go back and discuss with the officials and ask them to invite more scholars to settle in Jingzhou. After all, there are more people in the future, and more literate scholars are needed to do their jobs."

"Yes, Your Highness." Li Ran bowed.

After seeing Li Ran off, Liu Jun called Yu Jin again and asked about his income this month.

"After Your Highness left, the Business Department began to supply shower gel and Xinghua Village wine to merchants in Rongchao. Within one month, 8 million taels of cash were earned. Because there was no goods, the order of 18 million taels had not been delivered yet," Yu Jin said.

Liu Jun nodded, he was not surprised by this number.

After all, the royal merchants from foreign countries did not come prepared and only knew that these two goods were temporarily available, so there was not much silver for transactions.

But the merchants in Rongchao were not the case and were waiting.

"After Hu bought many servants and came back, Director Liu expanded his staff several more, and it is estimated that all needs will be met in the next month." Yu Jin added.

"Well, you have performed well this month after I left, and everything is going on in an orderly manner. I am very pleased." Liu Jun said with a smile.

Yu Jin said: "If you can get the appreciation of Your Highness, the subordinates will naturally have to do their best to serve you."

Standing up and walking to Yu Jin, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "How is the material I asked you to buy?"

"When you go back to Your Highness, the Alkali Ore Business Department has purchased 80,000 dan, spending 300,000 taels of silver, 700,000 dan, 700,000 taels of coal cake, 700,000 taels of silver, and 3 million stones of grain and grass..." Yu Jin read it one by one, "The total cost of silver is 6.8 million taels."

When Liu Jun heard this number, he couldn't help but feel pain.

But for him, this is a necessary reserve.

In Rongchao, a tumble of 120 kilograms, for example, converting alkali ore to almost 5,000 tons.

So the raw materials added up are very large numbers.

There are also the three million stones of grain and grass. In ancient times, one laborer basically consumed one stone in a month, and twelve stones a year.

This three million stone of food is enough for three million people to eat for a month.

Next, he had to buy a large number of victims, so that the food could be used.

But even so, the amount of these foods was not enough to satisfy him.

After all, if he introduced one million victims, he would have to pay 12 million shi of food for this year.

He would have to spend 12 million taels of grain and one tael of silver for a stone.

"It was not unreasonable to put agriculture as the basis in ancient times."

After forgetting this account, Liu Jun immediately became alert.

If business wants to develop, agriculture must not be relaxed.

Otherwise, so many mouths would be life-threatening.

He has to invest part of the victims who purchased this time in agriculture.

"By the way, the purchase of raw materials will be suspended. When the treasury has sufficient money, then the next purchase will be made, otherwise the money will be sold out." Liu Jun said: "Next, you and Hu Wei divide the work, and he buys the victims, and you are responsible for purchasing all kinds of craftsmen, especially carpenters and blacksmiths."

"Yes, Your Highness." Yu Jin replied yes.

After letting Yu Jin leave, Liu Jun came to the "Global Map of All Nations" and fell into deep thought.

This time, the fight hurts Fuyu Kingdom. In a short period of time, the chance of Fuyu Kingdom launching troops is very small.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, his three most important tasks are to fill the population, expand the army, and develop more advanced firearms.'

As long as these three steps are completed smoothly, he will no longer be afraid of Fuyu Kingdom.

Thinking of this, his eyes turned to Rongchao's coastline and his brows frowned.

Although the severe drought in the five states provided him with a population, it was also the root cause of the chaos.

If the Rong Dynasty is in chaos, his business in the Rong Dynasty will inevitably suffer losses.

Therefore, it becomes extremely important for foreign markets.

In order to protect these huge profitable markets, he must have strong strength as a backing.

In order to sell his goods even if a foreign country makes trouble with him in the future.

Otherwise, the route will be cut off and Jingzhou's commerce will be dead.

"Navy!" Liu Jun said.

Then I looked at Jing'an Prefecture, which is the only sea outlet in Jingzhou.

While building Jingzhou, he felt it was necessary to build a strong navy.

Thinking of this, he went around the base and found the design drawings of sailing warships from various countries in the 19th century.

As long as these warships were built and artillery were matched, he believed that at least in the Dongzhou waters, he would not have the power to protect himself.

But at the same time, he will continue to contribute to Jingzhou's trade.

After all, the family is big and the business is big, and the expenses are also big.

Putting away the drawings, he asked Hu Wei to call Liu Xuan.

This time he told Liu Xuan how to make soap.

With the success of the shower gel, Liu Jun felt that there was no need to visit the workshop in person.

Because the difference between bath lotion and soap is sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate.

Just use sodium carbonate to make caustic.

After Liu Jun's explanation, Liu Xuan understood it easily.

"It's amazing, I didn't expect that just a change of one thing can create such a big difference." Liu Xuan exclaimed.

"It's nothing, there are more things to surprise you in the future. By the way, leaving a layer of oil on it when making soap this time is very useful," Liu Jun explained.

He is referring to glycerol. The importance of this thing is self-evident. It will have a great effect in the future, so it is better to reserve it.
