After pondering for a moment, Gong Zizheng said: "Those who have merit should be rewarded, and those who have committed crimes should be punished. Farming is beneficial to the country and the people, and should be rewarded. At present, the issue of mercantile business will not have any serious impact on Bashu County, and it will promote prosperity. If it doesn’t work, why not designate Bashu County as a special zone and let her try more?"
Young Master Zi Chu laughed angrily: "Is this the punishment you mentioned?"
Gong Zizheng blinked and said, "Why not? Since it is designated as a special zone, she can no longer hold positions in other counties. She can only stick to Bashu and serve the Qin Dynasty. With her ability, it will not be difficult for her to enter Xianyang in the future and be granted the title of Marquis. This Isn’t it a punishment for her?”
When the King of Qin saw that the two were about to quarrel, he quickly smoothed things over: "Young Master Zheng is right! Come on, make Duoyu the Zuo Shu Zhang!"
"Here!"
King Qin's reward soon spread to Bashu County as the postmen galloped on the galloping road.
"Congratulations, queen!"
"Congratulations, Lieutenant Commander!"
Everyone thinks that many fish deserve the title, and with their achievements, they can even jump two levels.
Many fish were both happy and disappointed. I am happy that the money was not wasted, but I am disappointed that King Qin has not changed his mind and the general will remain unchanged next year.
That’s all, let’s lay a solid foundation first and prepare for future battles!
With the coming of winter, although the land of Bashu is not as cold as the north, there is no need for farming, and the people are still much lazy.
Just soak in the sun every day and the whole day will pass like this.
"What? Nujun, you want to build a new city?" Hu Feizi couldn't help but exclaimed.
Han Fei: "But it's winter now!"
Many fish clenched their fists and said categorically: "It is precisely because of winter that we need to build cities! We need plowing in spring, fertilization in summer, and harvest in autumn."
Han Fei: "We need a winter break!"
Many fish glanced at him: "In the past, we wanted to save food, so farmers didn't like to move in winter, so they would save one bite at a time. But this year, who will starve to death? As long as they are willing to go out to find work, a bowl of gruel will always be enough." It’s possible to get in.”
When Hu Feizi thought about his year-round working life, he felt sad: "My dear lady, everything has its time to recuperate."
Many fish retorted: "I don't increase taxes or recruit people, but I give them more job opportunities. They can only be grateful!"
Hu Feizi was speechless. Farmers only had enough to eat all year round. Being able to work in the winter and earn a few copper coins was naturally a great thing that they could only dream of.
As for the people in the Chamber of Commerce, they are all obsessed with money. They wish the farmers could earn more and then spend money in their stores.
A world in which everyone is satisfied except for civil servants has been achieved!
Han Fei resignedly returned to the county office to deal with the next trivial matters. He originally wanted to take advantage of the winter break to return to South Korea...
The plans for the new city have been prepared by the Mohists a long time ago!
The entire design concept is "there is a city outside the city and a village within the city".
Xin Fucheng will be a square new city, modeled on the layout of Chang'an, with streets and lanes intersecting criss-cross and dividing the blocks like a checkerboard, similar to the "Lifang system".
Each block is called a "li" or a "fang".
High walls are built around the inner square, and there is a door on each side, called the "inner gate" or "square gate". It is closed at night and no entry or exit is allowed. This is conducive to maintaining public order and giving spies nowhere to hide.
Xinfucheng will build broad avenues from east to west, north to south, leading to the four city gates, all paved with earth and cement.
There are "East Market" and "West Market" in the east-west direction of Fucheng, which serve as places for buying and selling.
The East Market and the West Market do not have strict restrictions on product categories, because the population of Fucheng is far smaller than that of Chang'an, so the two markets are enough.
If business develops rapidly in the future, it would be sufficient to open the street along the street into shops.
The western suburbs of Fucheng are military camps and Cuju fields, and the southern suburbs are various workshops, such as sugar factories, pharmaceutical factories, and paper factories in the future.
The county magistrate's office and other government offices were located in the north, while the school and hospital were located in the east near the government offices.
A river was introduced into Xinfucheng, running from east to west.
"What is this?" Han Fei asked, pointing to the red lines marked with cinnabar on the drawing.
Xiang Li Zhong: "Underground water pipeline."
"??" Han Fei was horrified. The drainage system covering the entire city?
Xianglizhong lowered his head in shame: "I only completed Juzi's vision for the sewer pipeline, but did not turn it into running water. It is really shameful."
Many fish patted him on the shoulder and praised: "Your design is already perfect. What's more, you also designed windmills for various workshops!"
Those factories, especially the paper mills, are big water users. Having windmills to draw water saves a lot of manpower!
Han Fei looked at the new city on the planning drawings, and his heart surged: "If this is built, it will be the best city in the world!"
The first city in every sense of the word!
Many people touched their noses with a guilty conscience and built it after Chang'an. Then the Mohists improved it according to the actual conditions such as the topography and geographical advantages. Together with the urban system of later generations, it is naturally very powerful!
"But how much will it cost and how many years will it take to succeed?" Hu Feizi calculated the abacus distressedly. The more he calculated, the more distressed he became and the more desperate he became. I am afraid that I may not see the day it is completed in my lifetime!
Many fishes laughed: "Money is not an issue! We can carry out pre-sales! As long as you pay 50% down, you can enjoy 20% off the total house price."
Hu Feizi's face turned red: "A white wolf with nothing? That's not good."
Many Fishes: "You have worked hard for so long, I will give you a chance to have priority."
Hu Feizi immediately said: "I want to get close to this trick in the Sheriff's Mansion!"
Although the price is expensive, it is close to work, school, and hospital. What a great location!
Xianglizhong was swinging between the northern suburbs and the southern suburbs. One was really good in location, and the other was close to Mofang: "Can I buy two?"
As soon as he said this, Hu Feizi's eyes changed when he looked at him!
Many Fish pondered for a moment and then said: "Normally, you can only buy one set, but you are a great hero, so you are allowed to buy two sets!"
"Thank you, Madam! I want one for the north and one for the south."
Han Fei was a little hesitant. He had equipped his own official residence, so did he need to buy another one?
Duoyu said: "This is a benefit for you. As long as Xinfucheng develops well, the housing prices will definitely rise. Your official residence is only rented for free, and it is not yours."
Han Fei gritted his teeth and said, "I want the smaller one from the north!"
After giving benefits to the confidants, it is natural to give benefits to the officials. Officials who came from Bashu County immediately spent money to buy houses.
Those who were transferred to Bashu will continue to wait and see.
"Have you seen the design drawings of New Fucheng?" The public was excited!
"I saw it! When will it be open to us? My brother is Satomasa, and he has already chosen a set!"
“I’ll go as soon as it goes on sale!”
Many fish are sharpening their knives to merchants, and caravan members make so much money, so naturally they should be given priority!
Hu Feizi looked at this scene and pulled off several of his beards. Not a single brick or tile in Xinfu City was seen, but the female queen only had so much money...
