The old man was already very fast, and his home was not far away from here. But when he came back, he found that things were completely different from what he imagined. There was already a long queue at the door.

Okay, although some people want to cause trouble with BB, they don't dare to cause trouble when they see the guys who look like iron pillars at the door. Are you kidding me? Each of these people are very powerful, unless they are

My skin is itchy, otherwise I would never go up and talk nonsense. The price has gone up? The quantity is less, and more people are coming. The shopkeeper is also happy in his heart. Why didn't these people be so happy in the past?

Hehehe came to buy grain. At that time, the prices were average and the supply was unlimited. And sometimes there were activities, buy ten pounds and get one pound free. Now it’s better, there’s nothing left, and all these people are

I'm here. Isn't this deal a good deal?

"Stand still for me. No matter who you are or what your status is, when you get here, you have only one status, and that is the customer of the Cao Family Firm. You were gods before, and you are still gods today, but you have to give

I have clearly seen our new regulations today. Each person is limited to ten pounds. If you want to buy, come back tomorrow. Of course, if you buy this time, you can go to the back and queue next time, as long as you have the time.

We won't stop you. Don't bring me any notes or say anything about the Governor's Yamen in the Governor's Mansion. It won't work. You can either line up here today or get pulled." A big man stood on top and said, this is also

Even the guys at Cao's Trading Company dare to talk like this. The governor and governor, other people wouldn't dare to talk like this at all. Not to mention a guy, even the boss doesn't have the courage, right? Can this business be done?

?But the people in the Cao Family Trading Company are not afraid. For example, half of the empire has to eat my food. If you want to eat, you can eat it. If you don't eat it, you can go aside and starve. This is not enough.

It's easy to say, of course. The four major empires must have seen their shortcomings in this food crisis, and they will definitely start growing food on a large scale. However, if administrative orders are against the market, the administrative orders will definitely be in trouble in a short time.

The order wins, but after a long time, the order becomes useless. It must be the market that wins. Because the market is always the same as people's thoughts, the administrative order is not so good. Sometimes everything is just

It's so simple. As soon as the four empires started growing food, our food prices immediately began to drop. Anyway, the Cao Family Trading Company's food costs were too low.

After hearing what this guy said, the common people were not unhappy. Instead, they were very happy. Why? Because they saw that people who were usually very rich and powerful had to queue up to buy food with them. Such things made them

I feel more comfortable. In the past, I didn’t have such an idea that I would let these people come with me. But it is different now. Such things happen now. Look at those so-called scholars, in the past

At that time, it was impossible for us who were so miserable to stand together, but now? What kind of politeness and face are all gone. If you don’t come and line up, you may be hungry in a few days, or you won’t eat.

, or you don’t want to lose face. Face is indeed very important in normal times, but if you compare it with your belly, you can still let go of this face. After all, as the old saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people.

But in fact, the families of those high-ranking officials and dignitaries still have privileges. The Cao Family Trading Company has already sent them enough food to feed them for a long time. Of course, it is impossible to charge money for this. It is given to them in normal times.

There was a lot of filial piety, but at that time they looked down on these so-called grains. At this time, sending a few carts of grains over would make them happy. This is because the market value of this thing has increased.

So you can see it in their eyes. Besides, the food from Cao's Trading Company tastes much better than what they made. These people like to enjoy it. Let them go back and eat the food before.

I guess none of them can eat that food, but all of them are very pampered.

If the price of food in one place increases, a batch can be quickly shipped from other places, so that the price of food can be brought down. But now the price of food in several empires has increased at the same time. They do this.

This was really the first time we encountered this, and people from the three empires began to panic. Of course, the Southern Empire, which was in a state of war, was not so panicked, because they robbed the Cao family's grain trading house, and their

The food can still last until the day, but I don’t know how they will live after this day. In the past, I could think of getting food from several other empires, but you have to be clear-minded.

Hundreds of billions of people in the entire empire can eat as much as they need in one meal. How can we just get food from other places? Isn’t this just a drop in the bucket? It’s simply impossible. Unless all the food comes by itself, otherwise such a long distance

Transportation will make food have the same price as gold.

The meeting of people from several major empires has not yet ended, and none of the things they said have been implemented yet. A group of people from the Cao Family Trading Company have already beaten them down. None of these people know what to do.

Done, they have some food in the treasury, but can they take it out now? These food are all for people in the army. If the food goes out and no food comes back, the soldiers will not be able to eat.

It is completely different from the common people not having enough to eat. The soldiers all have weapons in their hands. At that time, they will be really unlucky. By then, the foundation of the entire empire may be unstable. If something like this happens,

It absolutely cannot happen. In many cases, it must be like this. We should consider the people in the army first. As for the common people, they will not cause trouble as long as it is not too excessive. Leaders of all ages have considered this.

People from the three major empires also approached some managers of the Cao Family Trading Company to discuss this matter, but the news given to them by the Cao Family Trading Company was that what we told them was true. We suffered huge losses in the Southern Empire. This food was previously

You can freely set the price at any time. The imperial law stipulates that upper and lower 50% are allowed, and we have not exceeded this ratio. If you feel that our price is not suitable, you can not buy it.

We have nothing to stop you. Of course, it doesn’t mean that you can’t use the original price. In fact, you can exchange some things with us, such as some things that our army needs, as long as you don’t increase the price.

If so, we can exchange it with you for equal value at the price of 15 Wen. If that doesn't work, I'm sorry. We can only pay according to the current price, and the price may increase after a while. After all, we

It is said that the prices of some of the purchased items will increase. We all need money, and we have to earn back the money, right? After hearing this explanation from Cao Family Trading Company, they were all dumbfounded, damn,

We haven't raised prices here yet. You've just started. You're really much worse than us.

There were a lot of good ideas in this meeting of the three empires, but unfortunately, after the price increase policy of the Cao Family Trading Company came out, none of them said anything. If they continue to implement their policy, maybe the Cao Family Trading Company will

The trading house will also increase the price of other things. Especially some transportation and other things. Only then did they find out. In fact, the entire empire has been kidnapped by the people of the Cao Family Trading Company, and they are very powerful. If this is the case, there are

When they wanted to do something, it was not that simple. They could only transport some of their ordnance to the Southern Empire. Apart from that, they really had no other way to help them. Southern Empire

The Empire has scolded them to death for this. Now if you want to lose nothing, let me help you resist the Cao Family Trading Company. How is this possible? But the Southern Empire has no room for turning around now. The Cao Family Trading Company

The boss of Li Cong has already arrived at the front line. It is said that their rear area has been almost cleared. Now that the entire rear area is basically stable, the Cao Family Trading Company is about to start attacking again.

The Cao Family Trading Company was able to quickly stabilize the rear, thanks to the Baojia system proposed by Li Cong. The Baojia system was a social control method that lasted for a long time in the feudal dynasty. Its most essential feature is that it is based on the "household" (family).

) is the basic unit of social organization, which is different from the Western unit of individuals. Confucian political theory integrates national relations and patriarchal relations into one, and the concept of family is included in the concept of monarchy. Therefore, there was the Han Dynasty

In the Tang Dynasty, the five families were called "Wu", the ten families were called "Shi", and the hundreds of families were called "Li"; in the Tang Dynasty, the four families were called "neighbors", the five neighbors were called "bao", and the hundreds of families were called "li". Wang Anshi in the Northern Song Dynasty proposed during the reform

In the Yuan Dynasty, "Jia" appeared again, with 20 households as one Jia, and Jia Sheng was established. By the Qing Dynasty, the formation of the Republic of China was finally formed.

The decimal Baojia system of the period was very similar to the "Paijia system", with 10 households as one tile, 10 tiles as one A, and 10 A's as one Bao. This established the feudal dynasty's strict control over the country.

Basically, Li Cong copied this content. The current Baojia system is like this. Basically, 10 households are a group, and 10 groups are a group. Ten groups are 1A, and 10A is 1

With insurance, each household basically has an average of eight people. The difference here is that there are thousands of people insured here, so it is very difficult to manage, so Li Cong put

The power is mainly placed on Chief A, who does not have as much power as those on Earth. In addition to some management of them, Li Cong also proposed a reward system.

The scope of the jurisdiction of a commander is about seven or eight hundred people. As long as one of these people becomes a soldier of the Cao family business, the commander can be rewarded with a certain amount of silver. In addition, the scope of the commander's jurisdiction is the whole year.

If there is no resistance, then in the coming year some of the crossbow processing work for the Cao family's merchant army will be handed over to them. Otherwise, those who have trouble will not get any benefits.

When this system was first implemented, it was different from the loose system in the Southern Empire. However, it also encountered opposition from many village chiefs. However, under Li Cong's gun, these village chiefs either ran for the position of Chief A,

Or just go home and rest honestly. Many things are so simple. Sometimes if you don't give them a little color, they really don't know what you do and think you are easy to bully. It's not easy to talk about such people.

It's really abominable.

The Baojia system stabilized the rear of the Cao Family Trading Company. At this time, the Cao Family Trading Company had to consider how to expand its territory. Li Cong already knew this when he arrived at the front line. Now he has occupied more than 50 provinces in the Southern Empire.

, about a thousand counties and cities, with a population of 7 billion are included in their jurisdiction. In Tuoba Yuanye's view, this is already very good, but Li Cong's goal is not like this. In addition to leaving

The 2 million-strong army continued to manage some affairs and continued to encircle and suppress the remnants of the Southern Empire army. The remaining people were all concentrated on the front line. To prepare for another attack, they must let the people of the Southern Empire sue for peace. If they do not

If they are afraid of being beaten, their losses in the Southern Empire may really be gone. Only if they are beaten to pain will they come here to admit their mistakes. Otherwise, these people must not know that they are all wrong.

Where is it.

Some of the main war factions in the Southern Empire were at the top at this time. They attributed the last failure to the Cao Family Trading Company's sudden attack. If they were to launch a full-scale war, the Cao Family Trading Company would simply

It is impossible to win. For the senior officials of the Southern Empire, they have lost their minds. They actually believe this. They think they should put up a good fight with the people of the Cao Family Trading Company to let them know that we are not

Idiots are also heroes on the battlefield. They even think that this can scare the people of the Cao Family Trading Company and even retreat. In the end, they can sign an agreement with the people of the Cao Family Trading Company, and the wealth they can get in the future will be huge. It's a pity.

I don’t know if these people have any brains when they think about this. They may not know where their brains have gone. This is the main reason.

Li Cong never thought that the Southern Empire would have such an idea. In his opinion, the Southern Empire should be scared to death by its own army. In fact, when the war has reached this stage, it is no longer what Li Cong wants.

It's over when it's over. Originally, Li Cong didn't want to establish an empire, but now that he has such a huge territory, it would be a bit unreasonable not to establish an empire, right? Although this thing is also very

Tempting Li Cong, he is already an emperor on earth, but it cannot be compared with here. Although the technology on earth is very developed, there will be more people here. In this way

A place full of strong people becomes an emperor. I believe that as long as there are no problems in their minds, people will basically agree with this matter. There must be many people who have such thoughts, and they will also have such thoughts in their minds.

.

But after some thinking, Li Cong felt that it was not that time yet. He had just started a full-scale war with the Southern Empire. Although he had won at this stage, it was the same as the analysis of the four empires.

I don't have the strength to swallow them up now. Even if the people of the Southern Empire hand over their empire to me now, I don't have the strength to kill them. I just want to slowly eat them up.

That's it. It's better not to do this thing that makes you a fat man in one bite. Otherwise, you won't eat well and burst your stomach. This is definitely not what you think about. It happens like this many times.

It looks like, but there are really not many people who can resist such temptation now, but Li Cong is one of the few people. Li Cong can hold on. Except for Li Cong, other people would probably

There is no such thing.

The main war factions of the Southern Empire have already established a firm foothold within their empire. They are clamoring to give the people of the Cao Family Trading Company some strength. Many generals have brought their own guards to the front line. Like this

This incident made some people in the Cao Family Trading Company feel confused. Your elite troops have already been killed. Even if there are more people coming this time, they are just newly recruited soldiers. Could they?

Will it bring you any victory? This seems to be impossible. As long as the recruits don't hold back when they arrive on the battlefield, it will be good. If you expect them to become the main force, you will definitely suffer. This is the case in the Southern Empire now.

The investigation department of the Cao Family Trading Company has already received the news. Among the 2 billion troops they have assembled, a quarter of them are old people and some young people. In fact, if the Southern Empire slowly starts a war

If they mobilize, they will definitely not need these people, but they don't have the patience. They want to kill the people of Cao's Trading Company quickly, so no matter they are old people or children, anyone who can handle the knife must

It’s about to go to the battlefield. According to the people of the Southern Empire, this is what they call a holy war. A holy war to protect their country. But for many soldiers, they don’t want to come to the front line, whether it is the Southern Empire or the Cao family.

They all feel that there is no difference between the people in the trading company who manage them. Many people in the Cao family's trading company are also from the Southern Empire. No matter who is the boss, it is okay, and many people still feel that Cao's family is the boss.

It's better to be someone from a family business. Because their welfare seems to be good, and they have a good way of doing economics, etc., but you can't. Apart from robbing ordinary people, I haven't seen what kind of skills the Southern Empire's court has.

.

The Southern Empire has told their people about this so-called holy war. If everyone can get through this most difficult time, then the billions in wealth of the Cao family business will belong to the Southern Empire. At that time, the people of the Southern Empire

You can eat, drink and have fun for free for a long time. After all, the money in the hands of the Cao Family Trading Company is definitely not a small amount, but their statement is considered a lie in the eyes of many people. How is this possible? What if you

If you really have that ability, why didn't you get anything when you blocked the Cao Family's business in the Southern Empire? Now the Cao Family's business in the Southern Empire is gone. Of course you can say that, but

We have to come up with something real. When the officials of the Southern Empire encountered this problem, they were dumbfounded. Yes, what can we come up with? It seems that we can’t come up with anything. Now we can

It's really killing me.

No matter how reluctant the people of the Southern Empire are, you have to come to serve as soldiers now. If you don't come, the swords and guns in my hands are not here to greet you. They really want you.
