Huang Wenxian said, "Yes and no. Population is a prerequisite for development. The more people there are in the North, the more resources will be consumed. To merchants, this is a business opportunity."
He paused for a moment and said, "There are two trade routes in the North that export output, the Ancient Tea Horse Road and the Silk Road. The huge profits made the merchants everywhere rack their brains and bet their assets. They also want to get involved. It's also necessary to introduce merchants with deep financial resources and wide channels. This is a great opportunity to restrain or even weaken the nobles."
Businessmen who dared to interfere in the Ancient Tea Horse Road and the Silk Road were already prepared to compete with the nobles.
