Dengzhou is small, Liaodong is bitter and cold, and Ziqing Town is rich, but it cannot directly control its management for the time being. Li Jing wants to raise soldiers, raise 100,000 and 200,000 soldiers, and also wants to accommodate refugees, accommodate one million or two million or even more refugees.

The late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties were the era of large-scale extinction in China. In the second year of Yuanshi, the second year of Emperor Ping of the Western Han Dynasty, that is, the second year of AD, the country had nearly 60 million people. After experiencing the Yellow Turban Rebellion, until the chaos of the Three Kingdoms, the country had only 8 million people. By the time of the Sui Dynasty, it was restored to 46 million people, but by the late Sui Dynasty, it was only 10 million people by the early Tang Dynasty. When it reached the prosperous Kaiyuan of the Tang Dynasty, the country had recovered to 50 million people. However, after experiencing the Anshi Rebellion, it was only about 30 million people. By the early Northern Song Dynasty, it would have reduced by at least 10 million people, and in the early Northern Song Dynasty, it was only 20 million people.

To be strong, population is the key. Looking at history, the Three Kingdoms, the late Western Jin Dynasty, the Southern and Northern Dynasties, this was the most severe time of population decline in history. There were only eight million at the end of the Three Kingdoms. After the Eight Kings of the Western Jin Dynasty and the Five Barbarians invaded China, the population disappeared by 80%. Emperor Wu of Liang of the Southern Dynasties had a maximum population of more than 11 million, and after the Hou Jing Rebellion, only one million people were left.

The century-old wars in the late Tang and Five Dynasties also reduced by at least 20 million people.

China has a vast land and a vast population, but its sharp decline in population will inevitably lead to the growth of foreign races, and then the Han people in the Central Plains have been bullied for a century.

Li Jing tried his best to change all this, but after going through so many things, he already understood that even if he wanted to be a loyal minister of Li Tang in the revival, the Tang Dynasty was indeed terminally ill and hopeless.

The emperor was young and played hard to manage political affairs, and the eunuchs in the court controlled the government. In the local area, dozens of vassal states had completely destroyed the prestige of the court. Years of disasters and famine caused by countless people had no way out. The Shen Ce army controlled by the court was decayed, and the local vassal state army was arrogant and barbaric. However, the aristocratic families held a feast of glitz and tried their best to expand.

A major change is inevitable. Although the Li Tang royal family has been helping to suppress the family and even gradually increase the scale of the imperial examination to check and balance the aristocratic families, in fact, after the Anshi Rebellion, the Li Tang royal family has lost control of the world, the Tang court, court and imperial guards have all fallen into the hands of eunuchs, and the local vassal states have almost all fallen into the hands of the sage family.

The family that lost checks and balances eventually led to more serious land annexation and the fall of civilians into slavery. The conflict between the powerful families and the common people reached its worst. Under the guidance of natural disasters and famines, one after another was detonated, which would eventually implicate the entire Li Tang Dynasty and collapse the entire dynasty.

Under the burning oil on the surface, no one would have thought that the building would collapse.

Everyone was drunk and I was awake alone. Li Jing had to do something. The population dropped sharply by 20 million in a hundred years. Twenty million lives were erased, followed by the rise and oppression of foreign tribes such as the Khitan and Xixia, the loss of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, the annual monies of the Song Dynasty, and the Han people have been weak for hundreds of years since then.

Li Jing wanted to seize Liaodong, which was a multi-faceted thought, and there were reasons that had never been told to his subordinates. He wanted to seize Liaodong and curb the rise of the Khitan. He wanted to seize Liaodong and as much as possible before the troubled times came, he would resettle and store more people's population to prevent them from eventually dying in the tide of attacks on vassal states and peasant uprisings.

The Khitan is rising strongly, but it has not yet fully risen. He can now enter Liaodong and western Liaoning to curb the Khitans, and attack them head-on, and curb their momentum. The territory of Liaodong and western Liaoning is very large. After hundreds of years of development by the Goguryeo people, the situation is actually quite good. At least, compared with Lingnan, this place is not much worse. Even if the Northeast Plain can be developed, it will be more effective here.

Historically, the Goguryeo people rose up here, the Mohe people established the Haidong Prosperity Kingdom here, the Khitans established the Great Liao Empire, and the subsequent Jin Kingdom, Mongol Empire, Later Jin, etc. Since the Tang Dynasty, the Northeast, they have been the real conscientious troubles of the Central Plains.

This place is not bitter and cold, it just requires population.

Now there are people who are fleeing in famine everywhere, and Li Jing can accommodate more people to go to Liaodong. However, this requires a lot of food and countless supplies.

Dengzhou and southern Liaoning are now producing, and even the people under the jurisdiction of the town cannot meet the supply, let alone accept more refugees.

Li Jing's plan has always been to take a multi-pronged approach, while refining land and relied on the seaports and sea routes in Dengzhou and southern Liaoning to carry out commodity processing and trade at sea, and trade goods for food. Today, the world has not yet started, and the business in the late Tang Dynasty was very prosperous, which brought huge benefits to Li Jing, but this speed still could not keep up with the expansion speed that Li Jing wanted.

The profits of liquor, perfume, weapons, etc. are extremely high, but the cost is not small. The brewing of liquor requires a lot of food. Even if many fruit brews are developed now, it still requires food.

Li Jing has a good vision of goods. When he learned that a glass mirror that is not too big could be sold for a thousand guan, he immediately realized that this was a huge opportunity to make money. Unlike white wine and perfume products, the cost of such products is not high. To put it bluntly, it is sand. The real core is technology and then labor costs. But compared with the high price of glass, these costs are completely insignificant.

Li Jing originally thought that the glass mouth is actually more artistic, but relatively speaking, the requirements for various glass products are higher, but instead, it is simple to directly make glass mirrors and are also valuable.

After these days of busyness, Li Jing successfully created a floor-to-ceiling coat mirror, and fired some small glassware and several colorful glass.

At the Tianlang Festival, when Li Jing lifted the silk from the golden-edged floor-to-ceiling mirror of the gold-edged floor-to-ceiling coat, which was five feet high and one foot wide, countless screams suddenly sounded in the festival. The huge glass mirror made everyone stunned. Compared to the bronze mirror, this glass mirror reveals the tiny bits of people. What is even more precious is the size of the treasure mirror, one foot and two feet wide, like a door.

Especially those giant merchants, their legs were a little weak in shock. Such treasure mirrors are priceless and truly priceless.

Everyone believes that such treasures are not owned by the mortal world at all. They were rewarded by the Dragon King from the Crystal Palace to Li Dashang.

Some merchants secretly estimated the treasure in their hearts, but no one could give the price. No matter how much the treasure is given, it would be a blasphemy to the treasure.

"What do you think should you sell such a glass treasure mirror?" Li Jing took everyone's expressions into his eyes, and felt more and more happy.

Mrs. Han, who was in charge of Xiao's family, was leaning on a red sandalwood crutch, and her face was also full of amazement. She slowly spoke: "This thing should only be found in the sky, but how many times can you hear it in the world? This is a priceless treasure."

"No matter how precious it is, it is just a matter. I believe you know that I am now trying to buy all the food on the port ships, but Xiangzhong is not rich enough. Therefore, I decided to sell this treasure mirror, and only those with the highest price will get it."

Governor Shi Han Anmin was shocked, "Master, how can you sell such treasures at will?"

Li Jing shook his head, "Although the treasure is valuable, the food is more precious. If this treasure is exchanged for more food, it can store and relieve more refugees, then this treasure mirror is more valuable."

When everyone in the hall heard that Li Jing was going to sell treasure mirrors to buy food, no one was amazed and shook his head. It was a pity that such a treasure was sold so easily.

Some people also heard that this treasure mirror was going to be sold, and immediately stood up excitedly, "Master, don't you know how much this treasure mirror will cost?"

Li Jing smiled, "How much do you think this treasure is worth?"

The giant merchant blushed and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head: "This priceless treasure, a rare treasure!" After saying that, he said unwillingly: "I am not prepared enough today and I don't have enough money. Can I wait for me to send someone to raise money?"

"Of course, although this treasure mirror is to be sold, it cannot be sold in a hurry. I mean, today I just let everyone watch this treasure. The real sale will be ten days later, ten days later, and you will come again. At that time, you will bid together, and those with the higher price will be." Li Jing said with a smile. Of course, such treasures cannot be sold casually. Since they want to sell, they have to sell at a high price. Today, it can only be regarded as a product launch conference. If you really sell, you have to hold an auction. In advance, it is necessary to gather these potential buyers, so that they can see the treasure mirror first, and then give them ten days to prepare money. After ten days, many rich people will bid together.

Li Jing believed that such a routine would definitely inspire these rich people to fight for wealth. At that time, everyone was competing to bid, and he was the one who made a fortune.

Of course, what money can you make by selling a mirror? Li Jing is planning to make glass manufacturing the most promising business plan in the future.

After the exhibition of the treasure mirror, Li Jing asked his guards to bring many glass products. They showed them one by one, including glass water cups, glass bottles, glass wine pots, glass teapots, glass beads, and glass jewelry. In addition, there are various kinds of wines filled with glass bottles, especially various kinds of fruit wines filled with glass bottles. The transparent glass bottles contain colorful wines, which immediately make the wine much more high-end. There are various perfumes filled with glass bottles, and the beautiful glass perfume bottles are even more beautiful. In addition, there are many glass-burned paperweights, statues, etc., and several of them are colored glass products made of aerobic minerals, which are even more beautiful.
