With the dual benefits of railways and the migration of the Cui family, the Xining office, which was originally unpopular, is now overcrowded.

Not that people are very enthusiastic about migrating to Xining.

But... they just want to know what attracts Xining.

This is actually understandable. A place that was originally so strange and suddenly became popular. There are naturally countless people who want to know about it.

Everyone crowded here and was soon received with great care.

This is completely different from the Jingci Store. Everyone in Jingci Store is fierce and evil.

But here, everyone felt the warmth of home.

The land price is low, of course, this low price is relative to Chang'an and Erpigou.

But... once you leave Xining City twenty or thirty miles away, the price of this land... is almost no different from free gifts.

If it is a little further away, it will be a waste of money.

Not only that, if a wealthy family goes to settle down, they even provide a number of slaves, as well as grain, oxen and lambs.

Anyone who comes can't help but be moved by it.

Therefore, what many ordinary people are watching are cheap land outside the city and various discounts.

However, many merchants... were attracted by the land inside and outside Xining City.

As soon as the news of the Cui family's relocation arrived, the land inside and outside the city began to rise, including the land close to the Cui family, which also meant to rise.

This is how it is to do business. Whoever seizes the initiative will get the first move. Otherwise, when others eat and wipe it up, there will be nothing left.

In the past few days, steam locomotives have been running wildly on the existing railway lines that have been built today. The movement is very loud, but it also brings great shock to people. When people realize that Xining is not out of reach, they naturally make people covetous.

Therefore, the land transaction began to be carried out in groups of three or three.

Of course, some families are not as gambled like the Cui family, but they also hope to move some tribe members and troops to seize the opportunity, so... they all want to use this to discuss some conditions.

But their conditions are no longer as favorable as the Cui family. No matter how cheap the land is, people have to buy it. The Chen family is already busy and talks with people every day, and they are busy like a top.

Wu Qi made a list of contracts and roughly calculated the results, but he was also dumbfounded.

Then, she sent the book to Chen Zhengtai. Chen Zhengtai looked down and couldn't help but say, "Cui Zhizheng's wishful thinking seems to be the right one."

Wu Xi said: "My teacher, this is a combination of 39,000 families."

Thirty-nine thousand households are not a minority, at least 150,000 people, some are scattered small households, and some aristocratic families plan to move some of the population and divisions that cannot be resettled. With so many people, and a large number of craftsmen who are building new cities, railways and other palaces, it is enough to ensure that the population in Hexi will exceed 200,000.

In addition... there are tens of thousands of slaves, as well as Hu merchants from all over the world...

Then, at least in the next two or three years, the population near Xining will reach a huge amount of 400,000.

The Chen family has also begun to migrate, and a large number of backbones have begun to be sent to Xining in a planned manner, like sand mixed with it, and began to penetrate into all walks of life.

Once the railway is opened, it means that it is enough to support a big county.

Although this population is actually nothing, it is really just the level of a large state, and the land in Hexi... actually has no boundaries, but its area is vast. Its territory is almost equivalent to one Taoist in the Tang Dynasty. The entire Tang Dynasty has only ten Taos.

But if the energy source continues to attract the population, the future prospects... have actually begun to emerge.

At this time, Wu Xi said strangely: "It's strange to say that in such a place, there are so many people who are willing to move to another place recently."

"This is called the group effect." Chen Zhengtai smiled and said, "A large clan like the Cui family is willing to move, so others will naturally develop a desire to imitate! Have you heard of the flock of sheep? The flock is always used to following the top sheep."

Wu Xi said puzzledly: "My mentor means that as long as there is the first person to do it, others... even if they don't know if there is any benefit in the future, they will follow them consciously? It's just... are people so stupid?"

"No, you still don't understand." Chen Zhengtai shook his head and said, "This herd mentality and herd effect are actually not a sign of stupidity, it just looks stupid. Just talk about moving. After seeing the Cui family moving, everyone will inevitably want to follow, but blind follower is not a bad thing. Because once more and more people go to Xining, Xining will become more prosperous. Those who purchase land and take the lead in living and working in Xining will gain profits."

"Although you look down on this kind of herd mentality, it is actually because people rely on their herd mentality that most people who follow her for thousands of years have gained benefits and benefits, which has engraved this mentality into their bones."

"But... it seems that it's not enough now." Chen Zhengtai smiled again and said, "It would be great if there were more people."

Wu Xi frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's the limit now. A few days ago, there were indeed many people who wanted to move, but in the past two days, there seemed to be a lot fewer people going to the office to inquire about the relocation matters."

Chen Zhengtai looked unpredictable and said, "This is normal. This is because there is still a lack of excitement. Let's wait a little longer, don't know... they have discovered it now."

Wu Qi couldn't help but say in surprise: "What did you discover?"

Chen Zhengtai smiled but did not answer.

After some more days, it seems that the popularity of moving to Xining has dropped to freezing point.

But at this moment, a fast horse came to Shuofang County Prince's Mansion in dusty weather, and a person panted and sent the express.

The Chief Wu Xi received the quick report and then suddenly realized it!

She hurriedly asked someone to come and see Chen Zhengtai. When she saw him, she immediately said, "Mr.... I have an urgent report from Xining."

"Here you come." Chen Zhengtai looked gloomy and took the report, opened it, then smiled and said, "It's really not easy for them to find it. These people who are exploring should be rewarded with great rewards."

In this urgent report, only one thing was written, that is, a group of exploration personnel discovered gold mines in Hexi, Xihai and other places under the rule of the Sui Dynasty.

The Xihai area is not far from Xining, and is located at the junction of Tubo and Hexi. Since ancient times, a large amount of gold mines have been produced.

Of course, this was during the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, gold mines in the Xihai area had not officially begun to be excavated.

In other words... this is a virgin land.

The Tang Dynasty was not without gold mine production.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, because people had demand for gold mines throughout the dynasties, the mining of gold mines has never stopped.

This has also led to the depletion of most of the ore veins explored and left since ancient times. Even where gold can still be produced, the output is actually very low.

Most of the ten paths of the Tang Dynasty were densely populated areas. If there were large gold mines, they would have been over-mined.

But this is the first time that the gold mine in Xihai has been discovered.

This means...this will be a new land of wealth.

Chen Zhengtai raised his eyebrows and said, "Send this news to Chen Aizhi immediately. Tomorrow, I will see it on the front page. But... the saying here needs to be changed, what kind of riverbed is found in a large amount of gold sand, which is a exploration term. This news is different. The news needs to be modified. It might as well be changed to the riverbed, with gold everywhere. Add a few shocking and incredible words."

"Isn't this a lie?" Wu Xi couldn't help but say.

Although she also likes to deceive people very much, obviously... these words are a bit exaggerated.

Chen Zhengtai said proudly: "This is a bad saying. How can a person who is engaged in culture be called cheating? This is called modification! A few days ago, I saw a poem called "Flying down three thousand feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way fell to the sky. Look... I just saw a waterfall. There was not even three hundred feet. He dared to call it three thousand, and he dared to call it below the nine heavens. Just think this is a poem, but the people we have read are different."

Looking at Chen Zhengtai's expression when he said this, Wu Yu couldn't help but giggle. She liked the way her mentor lied.

"Then I will draft a manuscript first and then send it to Chen Aizhi."

Chen Zhengtai warned again very carefully: "Remember the key points I said, be shocked, incredible, and add a few words like golden sand, and a few... Xining shocks."

"Tell me."

…………

The next morning, the newspaper seller began to convey a terrible news everywhere. A large number of gold mines were discovered in Hexi. The deposits of gold mines stretched for dozens of miles and a large amount of sand. The explorers were shocked and incredible...

This news... suddenly made people feel memories of Xining again.

At this time, Guanzhong is even the area of ​​Guandong.

Due to the development of commerce and the emergence of a large number of workshops, this has destroyed the original social structure of self-sufficiency in agricultural society.

The original social structure was stable, from the emperor to the aristocratic clans to ordinary wealthy households and landlords, and then civilians, and at the last, they were tribes and slaves. Because everyone made a living by farming, the social structure was extremely stable.

But since then... this super stable structure was broken by Erpigou.

People in the same village were originally ordinary farmers who worked for farming, but their lives began to go on a fork in the way with different choices.

The people who originally worked in farming still worked in the countryside. They did this for generations and did not feel anything unusual.

But when a group of young and strong people in the village decided to leave their hometown and go to Chang'an, some people entered the workshop and became craftsmen, and finally became mature workers and backbones. So these people gained considerable income and married Erpigou's wife. When they returned to their hometown during the New Year, they would bring various candies sold in Erpigou, wear new clothes, and after returning to the village, they would distribute the candies. At this moment, other farmers' eyes gradually became different when they saw them.

Of course... there are very few people. They were originally farmers, but they only went to Erpigou to work. They slowly saved up some money and took a lot of money. They took a lot of money to run small workshops in fellow townsmen. Because at this time... the demand was strong, and the small workshop business was booming and expanded quickly. Gradually... Such a very few people brought their wives and concubines, wearing brocade clothes and satin, and satin, and returned to their hometown in a four-wheeled carriage. They spent money like soil, and opened their mouths to a big deal of dozens or hundreds of coins. This was almost something that the farmers who had stayed in the village had never heard of.

In the past, everyone had been farming for generations, and everyone's life was equally difficult. Except for generations of aristocratic tribes and landlords, although they had huge gaps in identity and wealth, the farmers did not have much awareness because when they were born, they were poor and others were rich. This naturally made people grow up the idea of ​​not daring to compare.

But... what is your Erlaizi living next door to my house? Your ancestors and my ancestors were poor and they didn't keep going. When we were young, we often dig loaches in the mud. When you were young, you were almost starving to death, and you still rely on my family to help you. But why did you have only been out for a few years? When you come back, you are wearing fresh clothes and angry horses, hugging your left and right, and your waist is covered with thousands of silos! Oh...

Suddenly... It turns out that because of the promotion of new grains, the white rice that could barely be eaten suddenly became less fragrant.

Farmers have never had such a desire for money and wealth.

The logic here is that if a noble is a noble forever, a noble will always be a noble, so this is acceptable for those who are poor and intimate from birth.

Because they think this is a destined thing by God, the reason why they are poor must be because they have done something in their previous life. So they work hard in this life and hope to be able to have a good birth in the next life.

But... the other guy next door can make money! That won't happen.

This is not because human nature is evil, but because this sudden breaks the inherent concepts of farmers. Because they sadly discovered that this is not a destiny of heaven. Even such a two-man is OK, why can't I?

This is a human problem.

Human thinking logic is always simple, especially farmers.

People's desire for money was suddenly released.

Originally, everyone was obedient to one's own self-centeredness, farming obediently, paying rent obediently, and bearing tax obediently, facing the loess and backs all year round, eating two meals of yellow rice every day. If God gets angry and encounters drought and floods, don't cause trouble for everyone, and starve to death.

But now... the farmers are becoming less and less obedient.

Making wealth has become an eternal topic among farmers. People yearn for Erpigou, Shuofang, and Chang'an. It seems that there... is a paradise on earth.
To be continued...
