Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 85 Exquisite Sand Table, Future Liaozhou City
Early the next morning, the Governor's Mansion became very lively.

Lu Xia and Lu Chuchu arrived early with the girls from Baihu Club.

Thirty guards from Fangfu also arrived early and brought many tables and stools.

Hundreds of tables and four stools have been placed in the front yard and patio of the Governor's Mansion.

The state officials of the Governor's Mansion seem to work harder because of the arrival of Lu Xia and other girls from the Baihu Club.

The sanitation has also been cleaned again, and the entire Governor's Mansion has a brand new feeling
Fang Yuan came at a short while, and nodded with satisfaction after seeing this scene.

"Zhou Zun, we're done."

"I'll take the girls back for a rest, come back before noon?"

Lu Xia trotted to report in front of Fang Yuan.

Today's North City Commercial Street Development Conference will be held in the Governor's Mansion.

Fang Yuan notified Lu Xia two days ago, to arrange it before this morning.

"Thank you for your hard work. Prepare some pastries and fruits when you come."

Fang Yuan nodded.

It's still a while before noon, and they're not doing too well here.

"Would you like some more wine?"

Lu Xia hummed and asked again.

"No, there will be tea ready."

Fang Yuan waved his hand and walked towards the governor's seat.

"okay."

"Sisters, let's go back first."

Lu Xia greeted and took the girls away first.

However, instead of leaving, one person walked in the opposite direction.

"Zhou Zun, I miss you."

Lu Chuchu's whining voice sounded, and the person rushed towards Fang Yuan like a flying swallow.

"Cough, be serious."

Fang Yuan pushed her away, said with a straight face.

This is the front yard, and there are many state officials going back and forth, so they have to maintain their prestige.

At this time, including Lu Xia, many eyes looked here.

"Zhou Zun, I haven't served you for a long time, are you preaching and teaching?"

Lu Chuchu said delicately.

He doesn't care about the eyes of people around him.

As the oiran of the White Tiger Club, she has a strong mentality.

"Presumptuous, this is the front yard, don't be so obscene!"

Fang Yuan still said with a straight face.

Lu Chuchu was taken aback, and looked at Fang Yuan pitifully.

Lu Xia and the state officials at the scene immediately stood in awe, secretly admiring Fang Yuan's cleanliness and self-love.

"Go to the backyard!"

Fang Yuan left a sentence and walked towards the backyard.

Lu Chuchu smiled happily for a while, and followed Fang Yuan to the backyard.

Foxy!
Lu Xia rolled her eyes and left first.

Time passed slowly, and it was almost noon.

A lot of people have come to the Governor's Mansion, Li Shimin and Du Miaoyan finally arrived.

Li Shimin learned from Du Miaoyan last night that today Fang Yuan held a development meeting for the commercial street in the north of the city.

Thinking of South Street in Wuling County, Li Shimin became interested, and went out after Du Miaoyan prepared the tea.

"welcome!"

The three of Li Shimin had just stepped into the gate of the Governor's Mansion.

There were four beautiful girls standing on both sides inside the door to welcome them.

They are dressed in silk, the style is elegant but not vulgar, and they are full of smiles, which makes people can't help but take a second look.

"Boss Li, Miss Li, Miss Du, how are you all?"

"It's not yet time for the development meeting, you can find a place to sit down, or just take a look around."

"This is the guidebook for the Chengnan Commercial Street Development Conference. It has an introduction to choosing a rental location. It is very important. You must read it if you are sure about leasing."

Lu Xia came with a smile on her face, and said sweetly.

With that said, three copies of the "Guide" were issued to each of them.

"it is good."

Li Shimin took it, nodded and said.

He looked at the front yard of the governor's mansion.

The layout is good, the atmosphere is not crowded.

"Miss Luxia, is there any free staff?"

"Can you help me place the tea caddies on each table?"

Du Miaoyan asked politely.

Pointing to Li Junxian who was carrying the box behind him.

She discussed with Fang Yuan and planned to sell tea at the development meeting today.

Those who arrive today will be the rich and powerful in Liaozhou City, and it is wisest to start selling tea from them.

"Yes you can."

"Sister Shulan, a few people are here."

Lu Xia nodded and looked around the audience.

In the end, the oiran Han Shulan and others were called to help.

"Thank you."

Thank you Du Miaoyan.

Follow Li Shimin and Princess Xiangcheng.

At this time, Li Shimin was already attracted by the voice in front of him.

Quite a few people had already surrounded the place in front of the governor's desk, and exclamations could be heard from inside from time to time.

"A divine work, it is truly a rare divine work!"

"This old man has never seen such a lifelike sand table in his life."

"Which master made this, and it is so uncanny, how did he do it?"

Li Shimin is tall, but there are many people around him, so he can only stand on tiptoe to look in when he is outside.

When he saw clearly what everyone was amazed at, he was completely stunned, with incredible shock in his eyes.

Sand table!

But it was not the military sand table he had seen before!
It's like a city, a city that has been shrunk countless times!

But even if it is zoomed out countless times, the real scene in the sand table can still be clearly seen.

One house, one mountain, one tree and one grass are clearly visible, but they are obviously very, very small.

"Let let, let let!"

Li Shimin couldn't restrain his excitement.

He pushed away the people in front and squeezed into the front seat.

Du Miaoyan and Princess Xiangcheng quickly followed and squeezed to the front.

"hiss!!!"

"This sand table!!!"

When Du Miaoyan saw it, she immediately turned pale with astonishment, and couldn't help but gasp.

It's so exquisite, the key is that it is less than ten feet long and wide, but it seems to have a city inside.

Princess Xiangcheng also opened her mouth slightly in shock, her eyes full of disbelief.

"Amazing."

Li Shimin sighed.

His eyes were full of shock.

I couldn't help reaching out to the sand table to touch it.

But at this moment, a small stick blocked his hand.

"Boss Li, you can't touch it."

Juzi guarded the scene, forbidding anyone to touch and destroy it.

It took him countless days and nights and energy to build this sand table.

"Giant?!"

"Is this your handwriting?!"

Li Shimin looked over and found that he was a giant of the Mohist Research Institute.

When he was in Fangfu, Li Shimin met and had a few brief exchanges.

After the words fell, everyone present looked at this seemingly inconspicuous giant.

Just now they thought that Juzi was an ordinary person who was only in charge of guarding the sand table.

"Hehe, it's my scumbag."

The giant smiled happily.

"Master!"

Li Shimin sighed immediately.

As expected of a giant of the Mohist school, he is truly a skilled craftsman.

"It turned out to be a master, I am really blind."

"Master's magical pen, please accept my worship!"

Many people were amazed and wanted to salute the giant one after another.

It is their three lives lucky to see such uncanny work.

"Can't, can't."

"I'm just a craftsman, and it's more due to the state's honor."

The giant waved his hands again and again, but his mouth was about to burst into laughter.

He likes to do research, and he prefers to listen to others praise what he has researched.

Today's appearance was because Fang Yuan asked him to come out to enjoy the glory, and it was also what he wanted to come out.

But in front of so many people, he upholds the modesty principle of the Mohist school, and he is embarrassed to show it too obviously.

"The giant Maxima, Fangzhou Zunbole!"

Everyone was not stupid, they couldn't see that the giant was modest, once again they were impressed by his quality, and they all saluted twice.

Li Shimin also admired the giant's craftsmanship, and solemnly crossed his hands to him, and at the same time he was filled with emotion.

If such a masterpiece can be used on the military sand table, then the Tang army will be invincible on the battlefield.

Because there are no more secrets on the battlefield, the enemy can be known if they want to ambush or escape.

Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately decided to talk to Fang Yuan after the development meeting was over, to see if he could promote the sand table.

"Juzi, can you introduce the sand table?"

Suddenly, someone asked.

Everyone also nodded, wondering how the sand table was created.

"Don't worry, wait for everyone to come, the state will introduce it to everyone."

Juzi shook his head, rejecting the other party's request.

It was almost noon at this time, and the invited people had almost arrived.

Just at noon, Fang Yuan also walked out from the backyard.

As soon as Fang Yuan appeared, he attracted countless people.

He is the governor of Liaozhou, the nominal No.1 of Liaozhou.

Not long before Fang Yuan was added, four aristocratic families were copied in a row, which shocked one side.

"Meet the Inspector Fang!"

Everyone saluted Fang Yuan one after another.

At this time, more than 130 people had come to the scene.

They are all representatives of aristocratic families in Liaozhou, representatives of commercial firms, individual merchants and so on.

They are all prominent figures in one city and three counties in Liaozhou, and you don't usually see so many people gathered together.

"Thank you for coming, please take a seat."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

Everyone stepped back and took their seats.

"Do you guys know what this is?"

Fang Yuan walked to the sand table, pointed at the sand table and said.

The giant had stepped back and returned to the backyard of the Governor's Mansion.

Lu Xia and other girls began to serve cakes and tea to everyone.

"Sand table!"

Everyone laughed in agreement.

Sand table, they already know.

The people present have seen it just now and marveled at its uncanny workmanship.

"Yes and no."

"I think it's more like the future of Chengbei."

Fang Yuan smiled.

After the words fell, there was a lot of discussion on the scene.

"Inspector Fang, please speak clearly."

Wang Zhicheng was the first to ask.

Everyone also looked at Fang Yuan curiously.

The sand table is not too far away from them, and they can still see it.

But a sand table is a sand table, so why is it the future of Chengbei?

But there seemed to be someone who understood, looking at Fang Yuan eagerly, waiting for an explanation.

"If you are familiar with the north of the city, you should be able to see that this sand table is designed according to a certain landform in the north of the city."

"However, these buildings and the distribution of plants and trees are not the current north of the city, but the commercial street in the north of the city that I decided to build in a few years."

Fang Yuan smiled confidently.

With the assistance of the sand table, development can happen naturally.

As long as there is technical support, this place in the north of the city will look like a sand table in the future.

"hiss!!!"

"The appearance of the sand table is actually what the commercial street will look like in the future?!"

Someone was shocked and couldn't help standing up.

When the voice fell, everyone turned pale in shock.

No wonder the landform of the sand table was familiar just now.

It turned out to be the landform somewhere in the north of the city, but the distribution was changed.

"Not bad!"

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.

"Fang Inspector is really amazing!"

"Imagine the appearance of the commercial street in the north of the city out of thin air."

Wang Zhicheng sighed.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

A sand table appeared in my mind.

In an instant, they seemed to see a bustling commercial street.

Li Shimin sighed, looking at Fang Yuan with more approval.

As expected of a virtuous minister Ying Meng, he even thought of planning a place like this.

In the future, the spread of the sand table to the entire north of the city, the entire Liaozhou City, and the entire Tang Dynasty is probably not a problem.

If the future city can be rehearsed on a sand table before being built, it will be the perfect city in my heart.

"Everyone, the future Chengbei Commercial Street will be a multi-functional street, involving clothing, food, housing, transportation, entertainment, etc."

"The official will introduce policies to guide the flow of people to the north of the city through consumption discounts and other means, and support the development of the commercial street in the north of the city. Therefore, I suggest that you move your shops there."

"Of course, it's okay not to relocate, but Chengbei Commercial Street will be a golden location in Liaozhou in the future. If you miss this time, you won't have such a good opportunity to relocate in the future."

Fang Yuan said slowly.

He decided to plan Liaozhou City.

The north of the city is mainly for business, entertainment and so on.

The south of the city is mainly a gathering place for major factories and so on.

The east of the city is dominated by residential areas as it is now.

As for the west of the city, there is only a cement factory there now, and it is estimated that it will take a relatively polluting industrial route.

"Fang Cishi, customers are nostalgic and like to buy in one place all the time."

"What if we move to Chengbei Commercial Street, the original customers no longer come, and the business is bleak?"

someone asked.

Many people do not want to migrate.

They have opened a shop in one place for a long time, so they naturally know whether that place can make money.

But Fang Yuan mentioned that there will be a policy, and he is afraid that the flow of people will be led to the north of the city by Fang Yuan, so he dare not say that he will not move.

"This officer has considered this aspect, and there are two options you can listen to:"

"The first plan is to keep the original store and open another branch in the commercial street in the north of the city. After confirming that there is no problem with the business, it is up to the original store to decide whether to close or continue to open."

"The second plan, I guarantee that the turnover of the store you provide in the last three years, if the business is less than before after moving to the North Commercial Street, I will pay the difference in advance."

"However, in the second plan, if the business does not decrease, but increases instead, I want to share [-]% of the profits, and provide the protection of the governor's office to prevent being bullied."

Fang Yuan looked around the audience, and said slowly.

Wang Zhicheng and others were silent, thinking about the pros and cons of Fang Yuan's words.

In fact, they immediately heard that both options were beneficial to them.

It's just that they are thinking whether to choose the first plan or the second plan.

The first plan will definitely not lose money, the most is an extra salary, which is nothing.

The second plan to advance the difference also ensures that there will be no loss, but if you make money, you will get [-]% of the profit.

As for providing protection, each has its own ideas.

The big family doesn't worry about being bullied, as long as they don't bully others.

But small families or individual merchants, etc., need this very much.

Compared to everyone's contemplation, Li Shimin stared at Fang Yuan with a complicated expression.

He remembered what the owner of the guest house said when he was in Wuling County—protective umbrella.

Only now do I understand that this is how the umbrella came about.

As emperor, he did not allow the existence of an official umbrella.

But according to what Fang Yuan said today, a protective umbrella is also necessary.

It is the best policy to protect the development of shops and improve the local economy.

"Fang Inspector, which plan to choose, we can decide after we go back, right?"

Pei Yinghua suddenly interrupted and asked.

He also came to the Chengbei commercial street development meeting this time.

Among the three clans in Hedong, people from the Wenxi Pei clan and the Fenyin Xue clan came.

"Of course it's fine."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

No matter which plan he chooses, he will not lose money.

When everyone heard it, they recovered from their contemplation and stopped thinking deeply.

"I will talk about the future development of Liaozhou City."

"Not long ago, I asked you to inquire about the cement road in Wuling County. Do you have any inquiries?"

Fang Yuan is ready to enter the next link.

But before that, warm up the atmosphere of the scene.

It's like robbing a house in later generations. The house was robbed as soon as it was released.

"I have inquired."

"Inspector Fang, do we also build concrete roads in Liaozhou?"

Everyone became excited and asked questions one after another.

In fact, when Liaozhou began to dig roads, someone had already inquired about the news.

It was also at that time that Fang Yuan released the news, asking them to inquire about the cement road in Wuling County.

Knowing that the cement road is so strong and so convenient for transportation, so many people come here today.

"Not bad!"

"Yesterday, we have already done a section from the west of the city to the south of the city."

"It won't be long before the entire city of Liaozhou will have spacious concrete roads."

Fang Yuan nodded solemnly, with anticipation in his eyes.

What I look forward to is not the emergence of concrete roads, but the arrival of countless money.

Now the money for road construction is all paid by Fang Yuan, the family property has been reduced by more than half, and it has to be earned back by cement roads.

Everyone became excited.

They don't understand the concept of building roads before getting rich.

But they know the importance of the road.

They also knew what a wide and level road meant.

If all the roads dug now are built, Liaozhou will take off [-] miles in the future.

"To get rich, build roads first. If the cement roads are built, Royal Commercial Bank, Shengyun Commercial Bank, Zhiyuan Commercial Bank, etc. will all come to Liaozhou for development."

"I am in Wuling County. I can develop a county with a population of only 5000 people to 8 by relying on cement roads. I believe that Liaozhou City will surpass Chang'an City in the future!"

Fang Yuan said loudly.

The crowd was in an uproar, full of shock.

Some people doubt, but more people believe.

Because it's not empty words without evidence, but Wuling County has testified.

"In the future, Liaozhou City will be worth every inch of land!"

"Everyone, you will also make a lot of money under the management of this official!"

"And now, start making a fortune from the commercial street in the north of the city. Please choose the location you want to rent!"

Fang Yuan was louder.

Everyone's enthusiasm was also brought up.

They looked at the sand table, as if they were looking at the future Liaozhou city with every inch of gold and every inch of land, their eyes were so hot.
