Gao Huan roughly understood the situation from the old scholar, and that some merchants deliberately lowered the price of their goods because it was not easy for Miao people to go down the mountain.

At this time, Gao Huan looked at the Miao people. They were all men in their twenties. Each of them had a large frame with some fur and mountain goods inside.

Gao Huan couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that these Miao people came from the deep mountains more than 100 miles away.

Because it is really not easy to carry more than 100 kilograms of goods to Chenzhou for a mountain road of 100 miles, it can be said that it is very hard.

The merchants just got it right, and they couldn't carry things back again, so they deliberately lowered the price.

At this time, the Miao Min, who was in charge, said angrily after hearing the merchant's words: "If I don't sell it to you, I don't believe it. I can't sell the same goods."

After saying that, Miao Min carried the goods and left the stall. The fat merchant was a little anxious when he saw that they were about to leave, but he was unwilling to give in, so he shouted, "You can just go to another family to see who has a higher price than mine."

Sure enough, Miaomin asked several companies and they all had the same price. Even Miaomin merchants bought them at the same price.

The merchants in the market are all acquaintances. No matter Han Miao, they have reached an agreement for their own benefit, and no one can break the rules.

Over the years, Gao Huanda should have learned a truth that since ancient times, kindness has not been in charge of military affairs, and most businessmen have been treacherous and businessmen, and they cannot make money without being slandered.

At this time, seeing several Miao people squatting on the ground in frustration, Gao Huan couldn't help but remember a story I had heard about a cliff village in the southwest border.

People there live on a cliff. Things that the villagers have to risk their lives to carry to the cliff under the cliff, and then take the mountain road to transport them to the town for sale.

People at the foot of the mountain knew that they came from a cliff village and would deliberately lower their prices.

Because they could no longer carry things back to the mountain, they had to sell them no matter how low the merchants offered.

For Gao Huan, Miao people and Han people are his people. He suddenly said to the old scholar beside him: "Old Master, I have a nounty request."

The old scholar saw that Gao Huan was not like ordinary people, "Old man's surname was Chen Miao, and he was from Chenzhou. You don't have to be polite. Is there anything I can do, just say it."

Gao Huan asked Xia Wanchun to take out more than ten silver dollars, "I also asked Mr. Chen to buy all the Miao people's mountain goods."

The old scholar Wenyu was slightly stunned, "This..."

Gao Huan said: "Is there any difficulty?"

The old scholar shook his head, took the silver dollar, and smiled and said, "Sir, are such kind-hearted people, but you can help them once. Miaomin lives in the mountains and will still be the same when he comes to the city to sell goods next time!"

Seeing that Chen Miao was willing to agree, Gao Huan knew that although the merchants in the market had lowered the price, they were not yet as strong as buying things for others to dare not buy Miao people.

Gao Huan had a clear idea of ​​them in his heart, and they undoubtedly escaped. "It seems that Master Chen knows the situation of Miaomin very well!"

The old scholar said: "To be honest, I am also a Miao person, but my family moved to the mountain decades ago."

As he said that, the old scholar took the silver dollar and went forward to say a few words to the Miao people. They immediately expressed their gratitude with surprise.

The Miao Min, who was led, took the silver dollar and said excitedly: "Now you have money to exchange for salt and iron tools."

At this time, the old scholar was about to bring several Miao people to Gao Huan. When he looked back, he saw that Gao Huan and his group had disappeared.

Gao Huan did not stay in Chenzhou for a long time, and soon continued to head north, boarded a ship in Hengyang, and went down the Xiangjiang River.

On the boat, Gao Huan looked at the two sides, and Xia Wanchun stood behind Gao Huan, feeling a little complicated.

After entering Huguang, he hoped something would happen, but he was afraid something would happen, but in the end nothing big happened.

At this time, Xia Wanchun was distracted, and Gao Huan suddenly asked, "Xiao Yin! Miao Li is also my people! Their ancestors were squeezed step by step by step by step by step and moved to the southwest forests. The living conditions were difficult. Do you think the court had any solutions to improve their lives?"

When Xia Wanchun heard the words, he knew that Gao Huan was talking about what he encountered in Chenzhou, so he said: "Your Majesty, the reason why Miao Li is poor is mainly because they live in the mountains and forests, and the roads are blocked.

Although there are specialties in the mountains, they cannot transport them. I think there are only two ways to change their lives, one is to build roads, and the other is to move people down the mountain!”

In Chenzhou, what Gao Huan and his party saw was that the Miao people living in the deep mountains were poor and it was difficult to transport the mountain goods and could not sell them at a good price.

Some of the Miao people who went down the mountain in the early years and accepted the Chinese version had already worn Confucian uniforms and passed the entrance examination for students.

Gao Huan pondered for a while. He knew that building roads and immigration were indeed the main means to solve poverty. However, the national strength and productivity of the Qian Dynasty are obviously unable to carry out large-scale infrastructure construction in the southwest, and there is no way to build roads to various villages and villages.

This cost is huge, and the cost cannot be recovered in a short period of time and there is no profit. Therefore, migrants can undoubtedly be implemented temporarily.

Gao Huan said in a deep voice: "The investment in road construction is too great. It is a mountain village that can build a mountain road worth dozens of miles. I can't imagine it. I think it can be built appropriately, but it still needs to focus on moving people down the mountain! Even if all of them cannot be moved down, there are few people on the mountain, and those who stay will get more land and resources."

Xia Wanchun nodded slightly, but then reminded: "Your Majesty, the investment in moving people down the mountain is not small. The court needs to prepare houses, allocate land, and also requires a large investment. In addition, the land in Huguang and other places has been divided and forced resettlement is probably aggravated the conflict!"

Gao Huan stroked his beard and pondered: "It doesn't have to be placed in Huguang."

Xia Wanchun said: "Your Majesty means to place it on the border? I'm afraid the Miao people don't understand it, resist the court's policies and inspire civil unrest!"

In the Miaomin village, the chieftains must not want Miaomin to go down the mountain. They need Miaomin to stay in the mountain and continue to be slaves for them.

Therefore, the court wanted to move people down the mountain, and they would definitely resist.

If they were placed nearby, they would be fine. If they were to be placed on the frontier, there would definitely be rumors spreading and taking the opportunity to rebel.

Gao Huan nodded slightly: "Your concern makes sense, but if you have difficulties, the court should find a way to overcome it. Next, I will take back the Western Regions, where the people have been separated from the Central Plains for hundreds of years and have completely alienated the culture. The imperial court cannot occupy the place by relying solely on the army, and cannot make the Western Regions return. What I mean is that after taking over the Western Regions, it must immigrate to the Western Regions in large quantities, change the local ethnic structure, and turn Han culture into mainstream culture!"

Xia Wanchun heard Gao Huan's words, "Then we will first move to the Han people from Huguang, and then take a group of Miao people down the mountain."

Gao Huan refused to comment, "After returning to Nanjing, let the Councillor discuss it."
