As long as the host sends the gifts we brought over and gives them the wages in Bao'an County, I guarantee that those guys will definitely be willing to move the entire village to Bao'an County."

The current wages in Bao'an County are indeed very high, but it is useless to ask for a higher wage. In the entire Bao'an County, within a radius of 100 miles, there are only about 10,000 Han households around the county seat. Even if the Lao people are included, there are no more than 100,000 households.

However, there are already more than a thousand wealthy and powerful families investing in Bao'an County, and even if we bring all of them here, we still won't be able to use them.

Various secret methods have been passed down. For example, when it comes to dried bananas, everyone knows that as long as they are shipped back, they will definitely make money, a lot of money, but without manpower, everything will be in vain.

Zhang Youzhe looked at the resident who was patting his chest to make a promise, then looked at the distance between the two hilltops, then looked at the mountain stream, and said worriedly: "It doesn't look far, but the road below doesn't seem to be easy to walk on."

The short hut said nonchalantly, "It's easy to walk. We can get there in less than an hour."

Now that we are here, we can't possibly take the stuff back with us, right? Zhang Youzhe gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, let's go there now. It only takes two hours to go back and forth. We can get there if we bear with it. Let's go."

The path in the forest is a road rarely traveled by, and the various stones are covered with mosses. The short hut leading the way is like a mountain monkey, pulling vines, holding on to tree trunks or clinging to stone walls to clear the way ahead. Even if he needs to chop down the branches that block the forest along the way, his speed is still not slow.

"Of course I eat meat."

Zhang Youzhe thought for a moment, took out a silver coin from his bosom and threw it to the short hut, nodded and smiled, "That's right, there really is something to it, this is a reward for you, follow me carefully in the future, and you will definitely get some benefits."

"Ah, yes, what's the matter?"

Zhang Youzhe wandered around the village. The short hut people did not deceive him. This was indeed a large village with several hundred people. There were at least two or three hundred people who could work. With these people, his workshop could be expanded by half.

The short resident looked embarrassed, "I don't need to study anymore, right? My family is still waiting for me to earn money."

Zhang Youzhe nodded and said with a smile: "When we get back, I will send you to the Adult School to study. If you want to be around me, you still have to learn some knowledge."

"That's true. Is there any other trick?"

"When we step down, we should step into the hollow of the road. Will that make it more stable?"

With the guidance of the short hut man, Zhang Youzhe's walking condition improved a lot, but there were always snakes and insects in the forest, which still made Zhang Youzhe frightened.

"Hey, the Adult School is a night school. You only need to study for an hour every day. Don't worry, it won't hinder your ability to make money. Reading is good for you. You will understand it later."

"Everyone has their own taste. Something that comes to your door is a gift from God. There is no reason to let it go. Besides, this piece of skin is worth a lot of money."

Wang Zhen fulfilled his promise. As long as they abided by the Tang laws and some rules he set, the land was allowed to be occupied by the noble families as long as they made full use of it. Zhang Youzhe was able to know all kinds of secret methods first because of his contribution, which gave him the upper hand.

Zhang Youzhe and the Han guards beside him were not so lucky. They kept slipping when walking on the road. Even with the support of tree branches, they still fell easily. Even if someone came to help them, they would often fall together. Before they had walked two miles, they were all covered in bruises and swollen faces.

Zhang Youzhe stood up and looked at the winding mountain road, then sighed and said, "Let's go, there's still a long way to go."

The short hukou waved his hand behind him and shouted to the hukou carrying the load, "Let's go, let's go, follow up."

The people in the dormitory who were carrying loads on their backs always had their feet on a stable place, so their walking was not affected.

The snake was as thick as a bowl and more than two meters long. Anyone who saw it for the first time would be terrified.

These few words brought him great joy. He smiled flatteringly at Zhang Youzhe and said, "Thank you, Master. Don't worry, I will do my best in the future."

Under such regulations, manpower becomes extremely important.

During the break, the short hut ran up to Zhang Youzhe and said flatteringly, "Master, look at this road. It can't be flat, right?"

Reclaiming land does not mean it belongs to you just by fencing it off. You have to cultivate the land well, otherwise you can forget about getting a land deed or anything like that.

The people in the dormitory were not afraid but rather very happy. Several of them rushed over with roars and knocked the snake unconscious in a few hits. They then carried it back happily.

The prices in Bao'an County are cheaper now. Just one silver coin is enough for a family to eat salt for a year, or buy a good set of clothes.

"This road is full of twists and turns. When we go, we should always take the inner bend, so that it can be straightened a little bit. If we calculate each bend, we can always walk one or two steps less. If we calculate it all, we can save a lot of distance."

However, due to his lack of preparation, he brought fewer people and lost some opportunities.

Along the way, Zhang Youzhe kept looking at the python, feeling sorry for it but also afraid that it would wake up and bite him.

The journey was full of hardships for Zhang Youzhe, but fortunately, the task was accomplished. After hearing about the current wages in Bao'an County, coupled with Zhang Youzhe's various promises, and the guarantee sworn by the accompanying villagers in the name of their ancestors, the villagers in the mountain village were willing to move to the county town and work for Zhang Youzhe.

Zhang Youzhe pulled the corner of his mouth and asked, "Why are you catching this thing?"

You have to use things to their full potential. To build a workshop, it's not enough to just build a house. It has to be operational to count. If you want to build a house, don't build it by the water, build it in the city.

Lingnan is a vast area with few people. It used to be wild and barren, but now it has become a treasure trove. If you want to grab the treasure, you need people. As long as you have people, you can get rich immediately whether you cultivate land or build workshops.

Without people, everything is just smoke and clouds.

Especially in the workshops, everyone knows that whoever gets the products back to the Central Plains first will definitely get the fattest piece of meat. If they are late, they will only earn some hard-earned money.

When Zhang Youzhe returned to the city, he happened to hear that Wang Zhen was hanging around his workshop, so he rushed over immediately. When he saw Wang Zhen leisurely eating banana chips, he suddenly felt unbalanced.

"Oh, our governor is so leisurely!"
