Under the leadership of the county guard, a large number of people rushed into the city.
Yanmen County at this time is completely different from when Ying Feiyu came with his troops!
It is even more different from Ying Zheng’s impression!
In Ying Zheng's impression, Yanmen County was quite desolate. Even within the city, the population was not very concentrated, and there were very few shops of all kinds!
But now it's completely different. As soon as we enter the city, the city is bustling with people. There are so many people coming and going, and the streets are crowded with various shops.
Restaurants, teahouses, and bookshops abound!
If they hadn't just gotten off the train, they might even have thought they were still in Xianyang City!
"this……?"
When Ying Zheng saw this scene, he was immediately dumbfounded.
When the county guard introduced the current situation of Yanmen County to him before, he thought that this guy was deliberately exaggerating in order to show off his achievements.
But I didn’t expect that Yanmen County would be so prosperous now.
"I never expected that this place would become so lively in just two years!"
Even Ying Feiyu was shocked.
In the past, most of the houses in the city were low thatched houses. The Huns would knock down the walls with a few hammers and directly enter the houses to steal food and grass.
Now it has been renovated and every house is very bright.
Some houses with slightly better conditions can be rebuilt directly with bricks and cement, which is called a strong, open and bright house!
"Sir! Would you like to stay in a hotel? Our place is neat and clean, and the price is fair!"
"Sir! Your order is ready!"
"This is the best Longjing. Even His Highness the Crown Prince drinks this. Don't worry, you can't go wrong...!"
On both sides of the street, most of them are three-story wooden buildings, and business is booming.
Walking on the street, you can hear the voices of the waiters greeting customers in the shops.
"Chinese cabbage! Chinese cabbage! Would you like two?"
"Raids! Big radishes that were just pulled out, and the latest varieties, fancy ones!"
"Leeks! Leeks! Whoever eats them understands...!"
Going further, there is a market, where the cries of vendors and the bargaining of people merge into one, making it very lively.
After walking for a while, Ying Zheng suddenly discovered that in addition to the Qin people, there were many Huns on the street. They were dressed in Han costumes, but still maintained the habits of the Huns. Qin dialect to communicate with the local people.
There are also some Huns who tie the sheep into a bunch with a rope and bring them here to sell!
"Your Majesty, the reason why Yanmen County has developed so rapidly is closely related to its trade with Xiongnu County...!"
Seeing Ying Zheng's confused look, the county guard quickly explained, "Yanmen County is the closest to the Xiongnu. After the Xiongnu became the county guard of the Qin Dynasty, they began to trade!"
"At first, the people of Da Qin were very resistant, but when they realized that those who oppressed the people of Da Qin were their Xiongnu soldiers and had nothing to do with the people, the anger gradually dissipated!"
"In addition, for so long, the Huns have never harmed the people of our Great Qin, so everyone accepted them!"
"The Huns often took their cattle and sheep to Yanmen County to sell them, and then brought back some cloth and grain, which boosted the economy of Yanmen County and made the people's lives better and better!"
"The city's prosperity today is inseparable from them!"
The Sheriff squinted his eyes and explained with a smile.
"Well! Having said that, you still have to be careful!"
Needless to say, Ying Zheng still had some prejudice against the Huns.
It was okay to be above the court, especially when I came here and saw the appearance of the Huns, what I had done in the past came to mind again.
I always feel that these people will take action against the Qin people!
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. There is no war at the border now. The general will send heavy troops to patrol the streets every day. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be severely punished!"
Upon hearing this, Pang Gaoyuan immediately handed over a sentence.
After these Huns saw the hot weapons of Great Qin, no one dared to make mistakes. They even felt that it was a great gift to allow them to trade with Great Qin!
Moreover, most of the people who came here were Huns businessmen.
They collected cattle and sheep from the hands of herdsmen, brought them to Daqin to sell, and then brought some daily necessities back to earn the difference. They just wanted to be safe, so how could they cause trouble?
"Well! We must protect the safety of the people!"
Ying Zheng nodded and continued moving forward.
The county guard took Ying Zheng and others into the Yamen, and took out all the accounts of Yanmen County in recent years for Ying Zheng to check.
Ying Zheng flipped through a few pages and threw them aside.
Then everyone went to the cooperative to check the tractor rental situation.
There was not even an idle tractor in the huge yard.
After the steward introduced me, I learned that it was the autumn harvest and tractors were being hired to haul grain!
Even if it is not the autumn harvest, the tractor is rarely idle. It is pulling goods in the east, moving in the west, and building houses in the south. In short, there is no idle time!
"When do you think the tractor will be able to pay back its investment?"
Before Ying Zheng could speak, Zhang Han started asking with interest.
Every time a tractor was built and rolled off the assembly line, the imperial court took over all the work and distributed it to the counties.
Although it has not produced much so far, and the counties have not received much, the court has also spent a lot of money on this!
So what Zhang Han is most concerned about is how long it will take to get his money back!
"Sir, if we continue as we are now, we will be able to get back our money in as little as four to five years, and as much as five or six years!"
The steward took the abacus from the table and fiddled with it for a while before giving the result.
"Can we get our money back in five or six years at the latest?"
This was beyond his imagination.
At first I thought it would be good if I could make back my money in ten years, but I didn’t expect that the time would be shortened by half!
Based on this calculation, buying a steam tractor for rent is really a good deal!
"That's right! It's a pity that there are too few tractors. There are simply not enough tractors. Many people can't hire them at all. It would be great if there were more tractors!"
The steward reported with a grimace.
"Have you guys heard this? Hurry up and expand the tractor factory!"
Ying Zheng said sternly to Ying Feiyu with a grimace on his face.
"yes!"
Ying Feiyu pinched his throat, responded angrily, and kept rolling his eyes at him.
When he heard that the steam tractor was going to be purchased by the imperial court, this old guy got really angry at him!
After some analysis, he said that buying a tractor would not only benefit the country and the people, but also make money, and the old guy nodded!
Now that I heard that the money can be repaid in as little as five or six years, I immediately became energetic and pretended to be a good person!
However, it is also a good thing for the tractor factory!
A steam tractor costs five thousand gold. Ordinary people really can't afford it. It's not bad that the imperial court has full power to spend!
