Zhou Shixiong is not a population expert. He has only read many posts about family planning, most of which will quote some demographic knowledge. The demographic dividend was even more talked about by the bricks after 30 years of reform and opening up. After listening to it, Zhou Shixiong vaguely understood the importance of some population ratio. For example, more women and fewer men are a paradise for men, but it will cause a decline in productivity. Especially in ancient times, because of backward production models and production tools, the primary productivity was caused by human resources. In addition, the special treatment of women in ancient times seriously restricted women from exerting their own abilities.

The above is just some of the views of the beasts. Zhou Shixiong doesn't care whether he agrees with it. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, the role of women was indeed very small. In Jiaozhi, most areas were still in primitive clan society, and women were in the same position as livestock, and they were all property affiliated to the family. The main goods sold by the population were women, which was a fact that Zhou Shixiong witnessed with his own eyes. [bsp;   Zhou Shixiong calculated the population of Xiangzhou and found that his territory was more women than men. It was only because of several wars that captured a large number of male slaves, so he barely maintained a state of about the ratio of men and women.

"Cheng Peng, since you have decided, of course I support it. Then what is the attitude of the Chinese clan? "Zhou Shixiong could not judge what the survival of the Daiyi clan would have on him. Guan Chongguang didn't say that he didn't want to make a fool of himself. Changing the topic is a good idea.

"Zhou Er led the Jinyiwei and the auxiliary barracks, plus the two thousand elite troops of Nguyen Phucbao, have surrounded the main Chinese village Qushui Village. When I left, Nguyen Phucbao was still talking to the Chinese. It was probably the result of biting a piece of meat."

"With his current reputation and power, why didn't Ruan Phuc Bao think about solving the Chinese people easily?" Zhou Shixiong didn't think that Ruan Phuc Bao had such a far-reaching vision, and Ruan Phuc Ajiang might not have. Because he himself did not, he still hasn't figured out why he let the Chinese people go. Just like he didn't know why he let the Dai tribe go.

"He is scared." The answer given by Guan Chongguang made Zhou Shixiong stunned. Ruan Phucbao was afraid? Who is he afraid of? Seeing that Zhou Shixiong was puzzled, Guan Chongguang had to explain, "He is afraid that other state prefectures' forces take the opportunity to reach out to Lang San's Mansion, and they are also afraid of us."

Guan Chongguang said this and Zhou Shixiong understood that he had traveled across Langshan Prefecture with only two thousand troops, and had severely damaged the three major clans in succession. Such a majestic record appeared among the forces of Nguyen Phubao, but he was not his subordinate. Not to mention that Nguyen Phubao would be afraid, but he would be afraid if he had changed to Zhou Shixiong. As for the actions of other forces, Zhou Shixiong was not in the mood to consider it for the time being. Looking at the account book in his hand, there were eleven Jinyiwei and more than thirty auxiliary soldiers were killed. Zhou Shixiong had the idea of ​​going to the front line again.

The family of the first and third largest forces in Lang Sang Prefecture were not as terrible as Guan Chongguang said. The spoils included 1,300 taels of gold, 45,000 taels of silver, and 1 million copper coins, which was the currency income. The 30,000 kilograms of iron materials were contributed by Natzenon. They also gave Zhou Shixiong ten thousand stones of anise, which was star anise. Zhou Shixiong immediately asked someone to get a small bag and want to eat some good food tonight.

The two tribes jointly contributed 50,000 stones of rice. Even if Zhou Shixiong did not go to Guangxi soldiers to ask for food and salary, he would not have to worry about having no food for half a year. What made Zhou Shixiong happiest was not the most. One hundred elephants and three hundred buffaloes were the highlight. These hundred elephants were not only the contribution of the Tayy and Nong tribes. Nguyen Phuc Bao knew that Zhou Shixiong could tame elephants and transport goods, so he specially purchased a batch from nearby prefectures to form a hundred integers, which was considered to support the commercial route from Lang Sang Prefecture to Pingxiangzhou.

Li Zhenhe also had a gift, which Zhou Er specially prepared for her. It was six hundred dogs of different sizes. In order to transport this batch of goods, fifteen large trucks were transformed into wooden cages before they were all loaded. Li Zhenhe was very happy, but she was not able to tame so many at once. She could only take Zhou Shixiong first, and then tame the semi-finished product before handing it over to Li Zhenhe to continue to tame.

With fennel, Zhou Shixiong showed off his hand that night and used fennel with locally produced spices such as cinnamon to make a pot of black brine. The marinated chicken for dinner won a lot of praise, but the only objection was Youmin.

He kept the sauce left on his fingers and complained, "I can't even cook with my husband, and I haven't been able to leave this day in the future!"

Zhou Shixiong immediately came over and stroked You Min's still slender waist while picking up a chicken wing and putting it into her mouth, "Madam, you can have a baby, it's much better than your husband."

The girls had long been accustomed to Zhou Shixiong's heroic behavior in the inner house, but when outsiders were there, they were still very reserved. You Min immediately made a habitual movement of pinching, twisting, and twisting on Zhou Shixiong's waist, and whispered, "There are still people!"

Zhou Shixiong demonstrated and glanced at Guan Chongguang who was sitting at the beginning. After Guan Chongguang turned his head helplessly and refused to look at him, he proudly let go of You Min.

Eating, drinking and having fun are always interludes. Since Guan Chongguang sent back this batch of trophy, Zhoujiazhuang has been trapped in a symphony composed of elephant chirping, cow mooing, and dog barking every day. The first thing to quiet down is not the honest and honest buffalo, but the most jumping dog. Zhou Shixiong felt that among the animals he had come into contact with, the smartest one was dolphin, the second one was elephant, and the third was dog. If we look at the difficulty of domestication, dogs are the easiest animals to be domesticated, no one is it.

After ten days of completing the first stage of domestication, the 600 newly added dogs can basically remember ten commands. At this point, Li Zhenhe, who took over, only needs to do water grinding and slowly hone the coordination. Elephants are easier to solve. Zhou Shixiong mixes the new elephant with the original elephant and lets them choose a head elephant by themselves. If the head elephant is from the old elephant, there is naturally nothing to say. If it is the new elephant, Zhou Shixiong can only work hard to communicate.

The biggest trouble for the three animals to take Zhou Shixiong was the buffalo. It was not that the buffalo dared to fight Zhou Shixiong, and they probably didn't have this IQ. The source of the problem was Chen Yongfu, Fang Zhenghua and Li Fusheng. The first two hoped to be divided into a batch of buffaloes to serve in Qianhu. The original large animals in Zhennanguan were old and had not been replaced. Pingxiang Guards and Jinyi Guards did not even have formal supplies camps, let alone large animals.

Li Fusheng’s request was the simplest, and rented it to farmers in Pingxiangzhou for farming. Food is the most important thing for the people, and farming nations are not for nothing. Even Li Fusheng, who is afraid of when he reads, knows that no matter what development is, eating a full meal is serious.

Zhou Shixiong had no choice but to hold a joint meeting and put the three hundred cows on the table. Whoever was right would take it. Zhou Shixiong handed over the important task of presiding over the meeting to Guan Chongguang, and ran to contact the elephant himself.

The results of the meeting were very interesting. Not only were all the buffaloes taken down by Li Fusheng, but even the existing large animals in Zhennan Pass were swept by Li Fusheng. Zhou Shixiong looked at Guan Chongguang in confusion, pointed to the meeting minutes and asked, "What does it mean to look for me if you have something to do?"

"It's literal. If they have something to do, they will find you, the master." Guan Chongguang explained seriously, for fear that Zhou Shixiong would not understand.

"What does it have to do with me?" Zhou Shixiong avoided it because he was afraid of trouble, but he didn't expect to be sold together.

"There is the largest official in Master Xiangwei. The two thousand households and one tutoring each other is not subordinate to each other. Of course, they can only find the master if they have any trouble." Guan Chongguang's words obviously had other meanings, but unfortunately Zhou Shixiong didn't hear it.

"How can I find me in everything? It just so happens that I am a commander and an empty yamen. Cheng Pengqu just came here to be my experience." Zhou Shixiong asked Fang Zhenghua. The official name of the commander and the commander and the commander and the commander and the tutor are one commander and two assistant commanders and two tutors. The experience, governor, Limu, Cang, and one deputy ambassador. The fat man Zhu Youjian helped him lose weight. Not only did he abolish the Tongzhi and the assistant, but he even combined the north and south tutors into one. I don't know what was strange.

The experience is similar to the office director, the chief steward of the commander's office, and the governor is the assistant of the experience. As the name suggests, the official is the manager, Ambassador Cang and Deputy Ambassador are in charge of the warehouse. This part is the real worker, and the above ones only need to learn to point fingers.

He had only a seventh rank, which was much worse than Guan Chongguang's former chief of the royal palace. However, the nature of the two jobs was basically the same, and Guan Chongguang was more competent. Zhou Shixiong was so knowledgeable and good at using it, and he received praise from everyone. Only Guan Chongguang, the person involved, sneered at it. "The adults arranged this way for the sake of being lazy, and his vision was just a little longer than the mouse's eyes."

Zhou Shixiong was calm about Guan Chongguang's vicious evaluation. He knew that he had offended Guan Chongguang. He obviously came back for vacation, but he put all the chores on him. He hid at home every day to accompany You Min or chat with elephants and puppies. One type is like a dog, the other is like a ghost. Compared with the two, Guan Chongguang just spoke ill of evil words and kindness. If he hadn't been unable to beat Zhou Shixiong, he would probably have chosen to fight alone.

Amid the noisy and hustle and bustle of firecrackers, the first year of Chongzhen officially became history. On the first day of the first lunar month of the second year of Chongzhen, Zhou Shixiong led a group of people from Zhoujiazhuang to worship the illusory ancestors of the Zhou family, and then held a year-end spoils sharing meeting. Guan Chongguang, who had never looked good, finally showed a smile when he received the huge bonus.

Zhou Shixiong was secretly proud. The troubles that could be solved with money are not troubles. I don’t know which great man invented this sentence, but truth is truth!

Zhou Er also came back before the New Year's Eve and escorted another batch of things called New Year's goods, which were actually stolen. At the same time, it also brought news about the Chinese people.

"Please read, Master, this is a letter from Lord Nguyen Phuc. In addition, Grandma Nguyen Phuc also wrote a letter." Ruan Phuc and Nguyen Phuc Ah Jiang each wrote to Zhou Shixiong, and Zhou Shixiong already felt something was wrong. Normally, Nguyen Phuc Bao shouldn't have written Ruan Phuc Ah Jiang, because there is something wrong with it!

ps: It was a little late today when I was disturbed by some private matters. I continued to shamelessly ask for red votes and collect them. Everyone is scolding me. Remember to give me a reward after I feel good.
