The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Even more exaggerated, it is different from the palace.

The service area must be colorful, strange and eye-catching.

On the roof of the service area, the words "XX Service Area" should be made of wood. This is the signboard, otherwise people don't know what this strange building is used for.

The plaque at the gate should also be hung, and even the charges should be displayed outside.

Otherwise, people will see that this thing is so well built, it must be very expensive, how can they afford it.

Therefore, it is very important to clearly mark the price, otherwise the business will be bleak, and it will be a disaster.

Another point is that this thing must occupy a large area.

The merchants and caravans traveling from south to north, which one does not start with more than a dozen vehicles?

Don't come with two or three teams, the place will be full, and you can't make money.

At least one caravan in one place, the minimum capacity should be ten or eight.

After Li Fu finished his meal, he was free anyway, so he started to perfect the details.

He didn't leave the tent all day, and even Yan Lide, who was at the construction site, was curious.

Why didn't King Jingyang come to the construction site today?

He used to come here every day. After all, there was nothing fun here, and he was free anyway, so he rode his horse around and took a walk to relax.

Yan Lide returned to the camp before dark. As for the construction site, there were only those things anyway, and they could handle them by themselves after a long time.

It was not difficult for ordinary people to build houses.

The earliest difficulty was to divide the streets and the house plots, which required Yan Lide to watch over there.

In order to save labor and materials, all the houses were terraced, with four houses in a row. Only the main house facing north and south was built, and the east and west wing rooms were not built, nor were the courtyard walls, and even the barrier walls between each other were not built.

When someone wants to build a wing room later, there will be no need to build an extra wall between the yards.

Anyway, they will definitely build the east and west wing rooms later, and at the very least, they will build a shed.

Because there is a place to live, there is no room for cooking and storing sundries in summer.

Now that we are poor, it does not mean that we will not have everything we need in the future.

"Why didn't your highness go to the construction site for a stroll today?" Yan Lide walked into the tent and asked as he walked towards Li Fu.

He also took the teapot on Li Fu's desk and poured himself a cup of tea.

Since I got this thing, I always feel that something is missing when I drink plain water while chatting.

"I have something to do today, something big." Li Fu smiled and said, "It's good that you are here, let me see this."

Li Fu handed the first version of the drawing to Yan Lide.

There were also annotations written by him on the drawing, so it was not difficult for Yan Lide to understand what this was after reading it.

"This looks like a post station." Yan Lide said as he looked at it.

"Well, you can say that." Li Fu said: "But this post station is not just a post station. It is different from the post stations of the court. It is a post station serving merchants from the south and the north."

"I have thought about how to make Linying County prosper quickly after reconstruction? I asked Wu Liangye to inquire. There was no special feature in the local area before, but because of the geographical location, there would be some caravans coming and going, temporarily resting in Linying County. The original city was close to the Ying River and had a wharf.

But now it is obvious that the place can no longer be used. If it is too close, there are also risks. Although it is a little far from the wharf now, it does not mean that it is not an important transportation location."

"After Linying develops in the future, there will still be caravans coming here. This is still a very important station for communicating between the north and the south, so I came up with this idea."

"But according to your design, it is not easy to build such a post station." Yan Lide said.

If we follow Li Fu's drawings, it will be completely different from building houses. A lot of wood and stone are not comparable to the current mud brick houses.

"I know this, but as the first post station I want to build, it is a model and must be built well." Li Fu said, "Otherwise, why would people willingly pay for it?"

"When does your highness plan to start construction? I can't take care of your post station now." Yan Lide said, "The houses of the victims have not been built yet."

"It's definitely not now. Linying City is not stable. What's the point of me building such a post station? It's just a showpiece. There are no people or things in it." Li Fu smiled and said, "Of course, we have to wait until Linying County is settled before we start."

"That will be at least next year." Yan Lide said, "According to my estimate, before the New Year, all the disaster victims can be settled down, and when the wheat in the fields is harvested next summer, everything will be fine. ”

The most important thing is food.

Now people are in a state of not being full but not starving.

Next year, when the grain is harvested, coupled with the court's tax reduction policy, people will be able to keep more grain at home, which can be regarded as a relief.

Only then can we have the energy to do other things.

As for now, we can only take care of our own lives.

"The post station I want to build here will also bring some wealth to Linying in the future. "Li Fu said: "When the time comes, the people needed by the post station can be hired locally, which will create opportunities for local people to make money. In addition, the things needed by the caravan for supplies at the post station will also come from the output of Linying County, or even from other surrounding villages. When the time comes, people here will bring supplies to the post station and sell them to the post station, which will then sell them to passing merchants for replenishment. This will not only facilitate the caravan, but also provide a window for local people to sell goods. Thirdly, the post station can also make money from it. "

Yan Lide frowned, thinking carefully, that's the case.

Although he couldn't imagine what the post station would be like in the future, the business that King Jingyang came up with and the business that he started had never lost money from the beginning to now.

If the post station is really like what King Jingyang said in the future, it would be a good idea to make money from the merchants traveling from north to south.

Not only the caravan merchants, but also some travelers on the road may benefit from it.

But if that's the case, I'm afraid the business of the inn in the city will be difficult to do in the future.

The inn in the city is only a small place, but the scale of this post station is much larger than the inn, and according to what King Jingyang said, there are people working twelve hours a day.
