At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 21
Lord's Mansion Building, Municipal Planning Department.

Yang Guang was at his desk, carrying out the latest task assigned to him by Xu Mu.

Lai Hu'er stood aside, seeing that His Majesty, who was once in high spirits, had turned into such an appearance, and felt suffocated in his heart.

Thinking about myself again, the dignified Zhuguo, the Great General of the Sui Dynasty, unexpectedly... just came back from the construction site, and felt even more sore inside.

"Fortunately, there are still three months left. After another three months, it will be over."

In the past few days, Lai Huer has comforted herself countless times like this.

In comparison, Yang Guang seems to like this kind of work.

Especially this morning, Xu Mu gave him a brand new task, to build the square city of Wanmin City!
Looking at the just-designed square city pattern on his desk case, Yang Guang frowned slightly, shook his head, rolled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can.

It is far from the East Market and West Market that I established in Luoyang.

When Luoyang was newly built, craftsmen from all over the world produced many schemes and designs, and he was the one who reviewed the final pass.

Although he didn't design it himself, he has a lot of drafts in his chest.

"Your Majesty...you have already torn up eight..." Lai Huer reminded cautiously, twitching the corner of her mouth.

Yang Guang raised his head slightly, ignored him, but devoted himself to his desk and continued to "create".

It's not because he is obsessive-compulsive, but Xu Mu's needs are unusual.

The square market that Xu Mu requested is somewhat similar to the combination of large vegetable markets and shops in later generations.

There are two floors. The first floor is a vegetable market, which specializes in selling all kinds of food and ingredients needed for daily life.

The second floor is for shops, and the vegetable market stalls on the lower floor only need to pay the stall fee on a daily basis, and they are not for sale.

However, the shops on the upper floor need to be purchased or leased with an annual contract before they can be used.

Each store is less than [-] square meters. According to Xu Mu's requirements, there must be hundreds of stores on the second floor!

And there must be at least five hundred stalls on the first floor!

It took Yang Guang the boss's thought to draw the preliminary structure diagram of a large square city that can meet Xu Mu's needs.

It's just that if you want to build it in three days, I'm afraid you need to stay up all night to start construction.

"Take this picture and go upstairs to show that kid."

After drawing the blueprint, Yang Guang was quite satisfied, and after the ink on the blueprint was dry, he handed it over to Lai Huer.

During this period of time, due to the lack of small officials in the lord's mansion, in addition to the contractor, Lai Nuer also has the additional responsibility of being a general manager.

To communicate with others is probably to pass documents and send them to tasks.

Not long after, Xu Mu came to the Municipal Planning Department with the blueprint designed by Yang Guang.

Before entering the door, Xu Mu laughed loudly and said, "Old Yang, I really didn't miss it! You have extraordinary talents in architecture. I haven't heard of you before in your position, but I think it's definitely not as good as this one." Only the Municipal Planning Department can display your true talents..."

As Xu Mu talked, he walked into the Municipal Planning Department and saw Yang Guang drinking tea leisurely.

Then...he looked a little weird, and almost spit out the tea he was drinking.

When Yang Guang joined the company, Xu Mu specifically asked him about his previous job in order to give full play to his talents, but he didn't say anything.

So Xu Mu slapped him directly and arranged for him to be in the Municipal Planning Department.

Looking at the blueprint in his hand, Xu Mu felt that his decision was very wise.

Lao Yang's drawings not only took his own needs into consideration, but also considered the sound insulation of the first and second floors, and specially designed the floor height to be two feet!

In this way, the first and second floors of Fangshi have enough space for sound insulation.

In addition, Lao Yang also considered the problem of the stairs on the first and second floors. Because it occupies a large area, he designed four major staircases in the south, east, west, and north respectively on the first floor, all of which can lead directly to the second floor.

To be honest, looking at this blueprint, Xu Mu had a vague feeling that he was holding the design sketch of the future Wanda Plaza.

"This square city will be called Wanmin Square in the future."

Xu Mu thought silently in his heart.

The first floor is a large complex supermarket, here, any common people can set up a stall, as long as they pay a certain stall fee.

Not only selling food, vegetables, meat, oil, salt and seasonings are all within the scope of business.

What Xu Mu is doing now is to distinguish the business scope of the first floor and the second floor of this large square city.

"Actually, if you want to build two floors, three days is a bit of a rush. Let's build the first floor of Fangshi first, and the second floor can be completed within seven days."

Sitting in Lao Yang's municipal planning department, Xu Mu discussed with him for a long time, and readjusted the road considering the construction period.

"Commissioner, can you do it?" Yang Guang nodded slightly, then looked at Lai Huer.

Since becoming a contractor, Lai Hu'er has been called Manager Lai by the construction workers under him, and Yang Guang gradually called him that.

"Three days is enough!" Lai Hu'er assured, patted her chest.

In front of Xu Mu, he couldn't let His Majesty lose face.

Xu Mu nodded, then left the Municipal Planning Department and went to the fourth floor.

He needs to quickly finalize the business scope of the first and second floors of Wanmin Plaza.

The construction of Fangshi is the top priority of Wanmin City.

He tricked so many people to come here, but for now, they can survive in this deep mountain only by the distribution of food from the lord's mansion.

The Lord's Mansion stipulates that all the wasteland developed near Wanmin City belongs to the Lord's Mansion. As for the planting inside, the Lord's Mansion hires those common people as tenant farmers.

Completely state-owned distribution system.

In the deep mountains and old forests, food is the hard currency, so in Wanmin City, the current copper coins cannot be circulated at all.

If he wants to build a prosperous city, he must let the demand flow.

The first step is to stimulate consumption.

He built residential areas, also to encourage consumption, so that those common people subscribed for houses and became the first batch of residents of Wanmin City.

As for the second step, Fangshi is even more important.

The shops on the second floor are the basis for his business development in Wanmin City.

It took several hours before Xu Mu finalized the business scope of the first and second floors.

On the first floor, only rice, grain, oil, vegetables, fruits, and daily tools can be operated.

On the second floor, it appears to be more high-end, and can only carry high-end categories of clothing, cloth, rouge, jewelry, and lamps.

Xu Mu stood up, stretched his waist, and looked out the window. It was getting dark.

The days are short in winter, and the Si time is probably over.

"Hey, man Zhang Meng should come back too, right?"

While going downstairs, Xu Mu missed Zhang Xutuo.

He has finished a beautiful blocking battle, but Zhang Xutuo hasn't come back yet.

As a result, as soon as he walked out of the Lord's Mansion building, he saw Kong Xingyue running towards him a hundred meters away.

He didn't wear the iron stupa, and he ran like the wind, while running, he shouted: "My lord, my lord..."

Xu Mu's eyes lit up, and he didn't wait for him to continue talking, and asked directly, "Is General Zhang back?"

Kong Xingyue ran up to Xu Mu, knelt down on one knee and bowed his hands to salute, panting, "Yes, Mr. Zhang is back!"

Then...it was Xu Mu's turn to start running.

He waited for Zhang Mengnan, but the wait was hopeless.

He left for more than three months.

Xu Mu almost thought that another accident happened to him.

I came here through time travel and managed to save this fierce general, but don't let him disappear again.

The gate of Wanmin City.

Xu Mu trotted all the way, and when he was approaching the city gate [-] meters away, he happened to see a tall and powerful figure who was eight feet tall and walked into the city first.

Behind him, more than a dozen soldiers surrounded the family of three. One of the middle-aged men did not look sideways, but also looked around Wanmin City curiously.

"Wow, Dad, Dad, look quickly, that place is the tower we saw in the distance before!"

Behind the middle-aged man, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy pointed at the monument to the martyrs, his eyes full of novelty.

"Zhi'er, what does your father teach you on weekdays? Be careful when you are out of the house."

The middle-aged man didn't speak, but the middle-aged woman next to him in brocade clothes scolded him with a sullen face.

"Yes, mother." The boy shrank his neck when he heard the words, and immediately restrained himself, but his eyes were still looking around, full of curiosity about everything.

"Meet the lord!"

Afterwards, the family of three were startled by the shouts in unison.

The group of "anti-thieves" who were in charge of guarding them actually knelt down to a young luggage not far in front of them.

Especially Mr. Zhang who was at the front.

He even knelt down!

"General Zhang please get up quickly."

In the eyes of the middle-aged man, the young man ran up to Mr. Zhang in small steps, and quickly helped Mr. Zhang up, while sneaking glances at himself from time to time.

That look, as if seeing a treasure.

"It's weird, I didn't expect this group of rebels to build a city in this deep mountain." The middle-aged man frowned, and he was also looking at the boy in front of him deep in his heart.

Not surprisingly, the young man in front of him is the master of this city and the master of these rebels.

"It should be a family business. I am afraid that the ancestors have been operating in the mountains for more than ten years before they can achieve this scale."

The middle-aged man thought silently in his heart, combined with what he saw along the way, and this fortified city, he secretly made a seat for Xu Mu.

It must be an anti-second generation with a positive root!
That eight-foot-tall man was none other than Zhang Xutuo. He was more than fifty years old, but he didn't see any signs of aging. After wasting so much time on the road, the lord actually greeted me in person..."

But Xu Mu interrupted him: "It's a troubled time, and General Zhang's journey was extremely dangerous. To be able to complete the mission and bring the man back is a great achievement, nothing else needs to be said."

As he said that, Xu Mu pulled Zhang Xutuo and let him walk side by side with him, walking towards the city.

From Zhang Xutuo's eyes, Xu Mu could see that he was full of doubts.

"General Zhang must have wanted to ask, why didn't I see this city before I left, and it was like a lifetime since I didn't see him in March?" Xu Mu said while walking, pointing to Wanmin City.

Zhang Xutuo nodded, and said with great emotion: "Before the final general left, this time he was still digging mountains and cracking rocks. I didn't expect to build a city in March. The Lord's actions are really...unpredictable."

Zhang Xutuo is not good at flattery and outspokenness, these words are all from his feelings.

Before he left, gunpowder had just been used to crack the rocks and clear some small rocks.

Although Xu Mu had told him that a city would be built in the deep mountains, he didn't take it to heart.

Only if that's something that can be done ten years from now.

Unexpectedly, after this trip, earth-shaking changes have taken place in the deep mountains.

Behind Xu Mu and Zhang Xutuo, the middle-aged man was even more shocked when he heard their conversation.

This city was formed in March?

His eyes couldn't help looking into the distance, and he saw the tall tower standing in the dark night, with only a vague outline.

It seems to be a monument, a hundred feet.
