I’m Marquis in Great Tang

Du Qi, Shangguan Yi, Laiji, Ma Zhou and the others wandered around in Puchang County, walking around. Today’s understanding of the situation is more careful, because yesterday’s understanding of the situation was mainly for Guan Yi and Guan Zhilan, but it was not sufficient for the overall situation of Puchang County.

At the end of the day, the entire group walked with a little backache and was quite uncomfortable. When I returned to the Inn, the entire group soaked their feet in hot water so that they felt more comfortable.

Du Qi assigned Shangguan Yi and the others to explain what they saw and heard, mainly explaining the areas that Puchang County is not doing well and the shortcomings.

This is critical.

It involves the future development of Puchang County, because the Great Xia Country today is actually big but not big. Under this premise, Du Qi can take the pulse one after another, one after another Knowing the local situation and then giving appropriate suggestions is conducive to Guanyi’s governance.

Du Qi arranged it, and he was pondering it carefully. When late at night, there was a knock on the door outside the room. It was Shangguan Yi’s voice. He came to see him at night.

Du Qi let Shangguan Yi in, followed by Lai Ji and Ma Zhou one after another.

Du Qi smiled and said: “Since they are all here, then sit down and say one by one.”

The three Shangguan Yi took their seats.

Du Qi looked towards Shangguan Yi and signaled that Shangguan Yi said first, Shangguan Yi said resolutely: “Majesty, about the development of Puchang County today. There are many problems involved here, mainly A planning issue.”

“In the entire Puchang County, commerce is concentrated in Beicheng, that is, around the streets around the county government. There are many tea merchants, grain merchants, and cloth fur merchants here. , And even the rest of the merchants.”

“Everyone is gathered here.”

“It’s exactly like this, making the entire North City completely messy. Although there are a lot of people coming and going, it is very busy, but this situation shows that the planning is unreasonable.”

Shangguan Yi talked freely and continued: “For a simple example, Cháng ‘ān as the Great Tang Imperial Capital, although there are businesses in East, South, West, and North cities, they are mainly concentrated in East Market and Xi Market, and East Market and Xi Market are divided, which makes merchants diverge and need to buy and sell. The people in the country are also divided, so that they will not be too chaotic.”

“Once chaos, it is easy to happen.”

“So the minister believes that the current plan of Puchang County is to renew Build a market. Compared with Cháng’ān, Puchang County is too small and incomparable. There is no need to learn to walk in Handan and build two markets along with it.”

” I think the market can be built in the West City.”

“The reason is simple, the West City is remote.”

“The market is built in the West City, which will help stimulate the development of the Western District. It is beneficial to the people of the Western District. Especially after the commercial goods are transferred to the West City, the flow of people mainly gathers in the West City. The most important thing is that the West City is wide enough to accommodate enough merchants.”

Shangguan Yi said: “As long as this plan is done well, the planning of the entire Puchang County will be more reasonable, and there will not be some incidents from time to time. After all, according to the expected news, the Northern Part of City is crowded with people and problems often occur.”

Du Qi nodded and said: “Good suggestion.”

Shangguan Yi went on to talk about some small details. After all the content he drafted was elaborated, he would not say more. Instead, sit quietly.

Du Qi turned his gaze and fell on Laiji’s body, and said: “Laiji, how about you?”

Laiji said: “The king, the minister thinks this Puchang What the county town lacks right now, in addition to the planning issues mentioned by Shangguan Yi, there are public security issues. While shopping on the street today, some people shouted that their children were lost, others shouted that money was stolen, and some people said they were beaten. Even vendors arbitrarily set up stalls and conflict.”

“This problem is similar to the plan mentioned by Shangguan Yi. However, in the county, because too many merchants gather, it is indeed very easy. There is a problem.”

“It is definitely not enough to rely solely on the Bailiff of the county government. Many things cannot be solved. My suggestion is that many merchants in Puchang County form the Chamber of Commerce. , The Chamber of Commerce arranges people to patrol.”

“Businessmen who operate are all familiar with the situation. Once they know something, it’s easier and easier for them to come forward and solve it. Although this matter, In fact, they don’t charge money, but everyone likes to be an official, and they all like to do things for the Imperial Court.”

“They do things for the government, which means they have an identity, so I think it can be arranged Yes, relying on the power of these businessmen to manage to ensure the stability of the place, so as not to cause problems.”

Speaking of this, Lai Ji turned his head and talked about some details that he had noticed. When some small questions came out, Du Qi nodded repeatedly after hearing it.

Laiji’s eyes are sharp.

In particular, what Lai Ji mentioned is already somewhat similar to the Chamber of Commerce in later generations.

The existence of Chamber of Commerce can unite people’s hearts.

The existence of Chamber of Commerce can solve the problem.

It has a great effect on the development of Puchang County as a whole.

Du Qi finally looked towards Ma Zhou and said: “Ma Zhou, what do you think?”

Ma Zhou opened the mouth and said: “The king, the minister is considering things, It is simpler. The minister once asked the local people in Puchang County and the vendors selling vegetables and grains. Nowadays, in Puchang County, whether it is vegetables, meat, or grains and oils, it is much more expensive, at least one more expensive than before. Half the price.”

“Don’t underestimate this half. This little money is enough to make many people even more IOU.”

“The reason is actually simple, it’s Pu Chang The rapid development of the county and the increasingly prosperous commerce have caused the prices of grain and oil to rise. After all, the development of commerce has brought many people. The increase in population has increased the cost of living.”

” One of the general direction recommendations of Puchang County is that no matter how it develops, Puchang County must lower the cost of living of the people so that the people can live easier. Therefore, we must establish a base for supplying vegetables and encourage the people to grow food and vegetables. At the same time, food In terms of planting and investment, we must also increase the intensity of planting to ensure a stable supply of food.”

Ma Zhou said: “The life of ordinary people is much more difficult. It is not a small problem. To solve it.”

Du Qi laughed, his face filled with satisfaction and approval. Because the issues Ma Zhou considered are really big issues, and even fundamental issues. Even more, this is a universal truth.

Applicable everywhere.

Ma Zhou’s concern is also extremely keen. It is true that the price of food for the people in Puchang County has risen, including meat, etc. This must be resolved and cannot be allowed to continue.

Du Qi said: “Ma Zhou, you have other questions.”

Ma Zhou continued: “The king, the minister has one more thing to report, which is about the road. Since entering the territory of Puchang County, especially in Puchang County, many places in this section of the road are bumpy. If there used to be a mud road, the bumps are normal.”

“But now, The roads have been poured with Cement, and they are all concrete roads.”

“For such roads, as long as the Engineering Project is qualified, there should be no major problems in nature, and there should not be so many potholes. On the contrary. Such roads exist everywhere, so the problem at the moment is somewhat serious.”

Ma Zhou said: “Yichen’s judgment is mainly due to three reasons.
