After lingering in Salt Lake City for several days, Ling Yun handed over all the matters of building salt fields and refining salt methods to Tuoba Xiaodao, Helanhong, and Liu Ying, he stopped staying and set off again to inspect the next stop... For Salt Lake City, Ling Yun only planned the development direction and general policies, and the specific operational affairs had to be handed over to the people below. In Ling Yun's vision, Salt Lake City has the benefits of Salt Lake City, so it relies on salt to eat salt here, with salt as the core of development. Salt Lake City has more than 10,000 people, only 500 guards and hundreds of guards. In addition, there are tens of thousands of men, women, young and old, who have just moved from various villages. After the ban on robbery, it is impossible for so many people to continue eating big pots and eat in the empty house every day.

Now that Lingyun's snow salt ice salt project is available, this manpower is invested in. After the establishment of the new salt farm, Lingyun means that 60% of the shares of the salt factory belong to Huaihuang Headquarters and 40% belong to the Salt Lake Branch. These 40% of the shares of the branch are equivalent to the common ownership of more than 10,000 people in the city. Each Salt Lake City holds one share and can get dividends to participate in the salt farm. At the same time, according to the arrangement of the branch, these people from Salt Lake City can still get a job in the salt factory and work.

Rewards are simply to break the previous big pot rice style. Of course, there are also many smart and brave people who do not work in salt factories, but choose to open shops in the city or work in shops. Lingyun is very welcome to this. If Huaihuangjun Town wants to grow, economic development is indispensable. And to develop the economy, it is definitely no longer the same as the pastoral era. We must fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the urban residents so that it is possible to develop.

Leaving the Salt Lake Fort, Lingyun's next stop is the Wild Fox Fort, which is a castle built in Yehu Ridge. Yehu Ridge is a dangerous area and it is also the only way to lead Huaihuang Town to Fuming Town to the west. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, this place was an ancient battlefield, and many battles occurred here. The night before leaving the Salt Lake Fort, Ji Yao was reluctant to leave. In the end, she turned her reluctance into lingering, and the two of them lingered for a night until dawn. After dawn, Lingyun left her and continued on the road. He couldn't bear to leave her, but he couldn't show up, so that Yang Guang would find Ji Yao in his place. Although Ji Yao was so wronged, it was a helpless move.

When Lingyun arrived at Yehu City, it was still messy, which was different from Salt Lake City. Even the city walls were not completed yet.

The Wild Fox Castle is located on the Wild Fox Ridge. The new city is not expanded on the original site, but a real new city. Although the original Wild Fox Castle is located at a critical location, the place is too small and limited to the terrain, it is difficult to expand. Finally, the construction plan of the Wild Fox City was changed to a new city. Even based on the important location of the Wild Fox Ridge, the new Wild Fox City was built not far from the original Wild Fox Castle, and on the other side of the new city. A fortress will be added to protect the new city from the left and right with the original Wild Fox Castle. It forms a triangle to form a horn to greatly enhance the Huaihuang Army's control over the important area of ​​the Wild Fox Ridge.

However, as a result, the project volume has also increased greatly. A new city and a fortress were built, and it was constructed in a relatively complex area, which also led to a much backward process.

The design pattern of Yehu City is one city and two forts. The two forts are purely military, and they are only stationed in the military and are not open to the vendors' households. Even the families of the fort guards are placed in the new city. The main structures of the two military forts are the same, including the barracks, granaries, forage farms, arsenals, horse farms, and the outside city walls, city gates, horse faces, Wengcheng, corner towers, arrow towers, and Haogou. The circumference of these two forts is only one mile long and the city is two feet high. It is like two hedgehogs with long thorns guarding the left and right of the new city, extremely ferocious.

In comparison, Yehu City seems much more gentle.

The Wild Fox New City is a large area, a four-sided city with a length of one mile and a circumference of four mile. Although some people said that the circumference of four mile is too large when they were originally designed, Lingyun insisted on building a four-mile city. According to Lingyun's plan, although the Wild Fox Castle will only be a small external trade transfer city in Huaihuang border city, the Wild Fox City is uniquely located and is the only way to enter Huaihuang from the Turkic Khan Court in Hedong and the west. This place is not only extremely important in military terms, but also a must-pass on the commercial road. Lingyun was very confident in the Huaihuang border city. He believed that the Wild Fox City would definitely prosper in the future. Therefore, at the beginning, it was a larger scale for future convenience and save it to expand. Even if the city wall was only built at the beginning, it would be okay to be empty inside.

The four-mile walls of Yehu City are shorter than those of the two castles, both of which are only 1000 feet high, built with rammed earth and stone. The base is three meters wide and the top of the wall is also ten meters wide. There is a prominent horse-faced pier every three meters on the city wall, and there is a corner tower on each corner. If it weren't for the excessive manpower and material resources, Ling Yun even built the walls of Yehu City on the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped walls of the prism-shaped

Nearly half of the city wall has been built, and the trench is also being excavated. Although the project is relatively large, Yehu City has a population of nearly 20,000, and these people do not farm and grazing. The only task now is to build a city. Therefore, the progress of the new city is very fast. The two most important military forts have been basically completed. Now only the military camps, wells, etc. in the fort are left. Most of the city walls of the new city have been built, and work is also in progress.

Yehu City has four gates, starting along the four gates, two main roads form the Cross Street, which divides the entire new city into four major districts. At the same time, each district is divided into four blocks of two sub-haul roads. In this way, the entire new city is planned very neatly, with four large yards and sixteen miles, with smooth streets and clear lifangs.

On both sides of the main road of the Great Cross Street are all shops along the street, so the other four small cross streets along the street are also shops of a large scale. This is completely based on the planning of commercial cities, and the concept of business-oriented everywhere.

In addition, at the four gates, each has a military camp and a garrison army stationed.

The urban residential area of ​​Yehu City is distributed among the sixteenth house in four squares, and rows of houses will be very neat and clean. Although all the houses facing the street are built into shops, the residential area is still spacious, leaving enough space.

Liu Guodong just moved into his new home today. Since the garrison was withdrawn, they built a shed on this large construction site and lived in it for a long time. However, when they were busy building the city every day, they listened to the new city lords, hall masters, guards, and Yuhou, who were all told that they would be assigned to live in a new house in the future. Everyone was very happy. After so busy for so long, although the new city was only a large construction site and only half of the city wall was built, the first one of the four yards and sixteen miles in the scale of the southeast yard was built. Liu Guodong was lucky. After the first one was built, the new house was still not enough for nearly 20,000 people to live in. One yard could live in 10,000 households, and one hamlet could only temporarily solve the housing of one-tenth of the new city population. Originally, Liu Guodong thought that the above would arrange the house according to the size of the official position, but was notified to go to draw lots.

The above actually asked every household to draw lots. The drawers could move into a new house first.

Liu Guodong asked his fifteen-year-old eldest son to draw a lottery for him, but he actually got it.

When the two brothers who had been holding the sign and following the garrison army, they found the house corresponding to their number plate in the newly built Lifang, he was still a little unbelievable.

No. 19, Cheng'an Street, Ji'an, Chongrenfang.

This is Liu Guodong's new home, Liu Guodong's family of six. Therefore, he participated in the draw of the big family group. The house he was assigned was also a single courtyard, with a courtyard style. There were three large rooms on the north side, one wing room on the east and west sides, and another undulating room on the south side. Although the six houses surrounded the yard very tightly, these six rooms were equipped with a yard. As soon as Liu Guodong's four children entered the yard, they ran around excitedly and were excitedly competing for a room of their own. Liu Guodong's wife was also excited and blushed. They were originally people of Hedong. At that time, Liu Guodong's family also had dozens of acres of land, and they lived a good life. With his childhood sweetheart, he thought of marrying Xi Niang as his wife and having children in the future. This would be the same for the rest of his life.

It passed in plain sight. Unexpectedly, there was a drought in my hometown. That year, I borrowed the usury from the landlord's family next door to survive the famine. As a result, the profit was over and the land in the family was also paid in. Xi'an's father also borrowed the loan. In the end, Xi'an's father was reluctant to let go and sold Xi'an to the landlord. Liu Guodong's land was gone, and his parents were seriously ill and had no money to die in the end. He could only work for the landlord. Xi'an sold her to the landlord's house and started to be a maid. Later, the landlord touched her. Once, Liu Guodong, who was entering the house to report the matter, saw it. He was angry and accidentally beaten the landlord to death. The two were frightened to exile in other places. Finally, Liu Guodong and others fled to the frontier and to the Yehuling Mountain Village. In a flash, more than ten years have passed, and both of them have four children.

However, although Liu Guodong went to the village in his early years, he had always been doing some woodworking work in the village. He had never gone down the mountain to participate in robbery activities, and his wife only did some logistics. Therefore, the two of them had always had a low status in the village. There were many people in the village, and the houses were basically built by themselves. Compared with such a small courtyard, it was completely incomparable. Although the house was covered with thatched roofs and earthen walls, it was much better than the houses they had lived in before.

Liu Guodong, who has been a carpenter in a copycat for many years, has even looked at the layout of the house, thinking about preparing to buy a few pieces of furniture for his home when he has time.

"The head of the house, this house is so good. Look, Sihe Little Courtyard." Liu Guodong's wife, Xi Niang, said excitedly as she touched the gate of the courtyard.

Liu Guodong smiled and watched several children fighting for their own house. In the past, the family lived in a thatched hut, and the couple lived in one room with four children. How could they have five houses and a yard like now? "Yes, there are five rooms, so stop arguing about a few bastards. Two boys live in the east wing and two girls live in the west wing."

"With the house already, should we start to think about a partner for the boss? He is fifteen this year and will talk about his wife at that time. I think the boss will live alone in the east wing and the third wing in the south wing." Liu Wangshi said.

Liu Guodong looked around the house and whispered: "Now we moved down the mountain village and lived in this city. We followed the leader to receive the court's amnesty. Now it's just a family. We have saved some copper coins in the past few years. I'll see if we will go back to our hometown in Hedong to see if we pay homage to our parents to the grave, and then check if there are any suitable girls in the relative's house, and say we will be the wife of the old Dangdang."

Liu Wang also looked yearning and had been fleeing his hometown for more than ten years, and often thought that he would go back one day. "It's not cheap to marry a wife, not to mention that even if we are innocent now, it's probably difficult to marry a girl to such a far away from the West. Even if we are willing, we will definitely have to pay a lot more. What's the money we have in our hands? "

"The city lord said that after the city is built, the city will open shops and build workshops. I think so. I have not bad woodworking skills over the years. Then I will open a wooden workshop. You see, I won't eat big pots now, especially with so many new residential houses, so how can I have less furniture? Open a carpenter shop. I will definitely not worry about business." Liu Guodong has been considering these days. He has withdrawn the copycat and built the city, and he will not let him rob. After being recruited, he said that he would do business in the future, and he would not farm or grazing. Liu Guodong thought that he would do business in the future.

Well, although he went to a workshop built by the branch to work as a carpenter, he could get a fixed salary every month. But he still wanted to open a carpenter shop by himself. The four children in his family were almost fifteen years old. When he changed to his hometown, the boy of such a big one had already married. There were two girls in his teens, and he was about to get married, and the dowry was not ready. There was also the youngest boy. He heard that after the new city was built, the school would be built in the city. He thought to himself. While the child was still young, let him go to study some books.

"Can you make money by running a shop by yourself?"

Liu Guodong smiled and said, "It's definitely not a small one. Let the boss help me and hire two more kids as apprentices. You can earn five or six thousand yuan a month. If the business is good, I guess I can earn seven or eight thousand yuan."

"Wow." Liu Wang's family was so scattered. Not to mention seven or eight thousand, even five or six thousand per month was enough to make her excited. In this era, if she earned two thousand a month, she could support her wife and live and work in peace. She earned three thousand a month, and even had some wine and some meat to eat frequently. If she had a monthly income of *1,000 yuan, her life would be quite abundant. Generally, people who had no skills worked as a coolie and hired laborers only had fifteen cents a day, and even the monthly salary of the guards in Yehu City was only two thousand yuan.

The couple suddenly felt full of hope for the future. After leaving the parody, they not only moved out of the simple thatched house, but also untied a chain that had been pressing on their hearts for many years. Although they had no choice but to go to the parody, they were actually worried about their identity and often woke up in their dreams, fearing that one day the officers and soldiers would come up the mountain. Now they have been recruited, moved down the mountain, and moved into a big house. Although this house does not belong to them, according to the above statement, they only have the right to use this house, and they cannot be sold or resold. They have to pay 300 yuan in rent every month, but this still makes him seem to be twenty years younger and full of energy.

"You have to hurry up if you are the leader. There are many people who know how to do things, so don't let someone take it first."

"Well, that's right. I have to go to the city lord's mansion to register. Damn, you can buy some red paper and stick some window grilles to paste, buy a few firecrackers, and then cut a few kilograms of meat to celebrate."

"Okay, go quickly, I'll get back with another pound of wine later." Liu Wang picked up the straw hat of Yang and put it on her husband, watched him go out, and then moved around the new house for a long time, then took his children to move the simple home in the straw hut area back to the new house. After a busy day, he went out to buy vegetables.

Although Yehu City is still a large construction site, 20,000 people gather here. Although the street shops have not been officially built, along the river not far from the new city, many caravans who have heard the news have set up tents here and built a grass market. Some people from Yehu City take advantage of the time to hunt, fish and sell it here, which is very lively.

"Oh, isn't this Mrs. Wang? I heard that your family has won a small courtyard in Chongrenfang today. It's amazing. I'm so lucky. Congratulations on the joy of moving in. I've lived in a new home. What should I buy?" A familiar guy immediately greeted Liu Wang with a basket.

"I have changed my house, how can I not buy some good wine to celebrate? Come on, I have new good wine here. One dou originally costs 120 cents. Today is a happy congratulations to you on your house move. It's just a hundred cents."

"Buy a sheep. If you have such a good thing, you can't buy a sheep. Look at how fat the sheep is, you won't buy you more..."

When Ling Yun brought the cavalry in the tent to outside the Yehu City, he happened to see this scene full of vitality. As the villages were moved and merged into towns, the towns themselves could generate great demand and also create great business opportunities. The villages changed their survival mode, and they would establish workshops and shops here to become a gathering place for small handicraft workshops, and at the same time they would become a transit supply station for border trade. These villages in the past were no longer robbery, but work and business. With the monthly salary distribution and the prosperity of the shops, the place will be stable, and it will be very stable.

A new commercial town will be formed quickly. Ling Yun is not worried that there will be no merchants coming. Although this was once a dangerous sphere of influence of the Tiger Alliance, merchants always dared to take risks. The changes in the Tiger Alliance and brand new business opportunities will make merchants come to the market. Just as he saw before him, the Wild Fox City has not been built yet, but the business opportunities presented by this large construction site with a population of more than 20,000 that has gathered in more than a dozen copycats have attracted a large number of merchants. Once the Wild Fox City is completed, he believes that more merchants will come.

Ling Yun saw again on the horse that under the city wall on the other side, a team of wild fox garrisons in blue were training. The wild fox city had 500 garrisons. In addition, due to their important geographical location, there were 500 troops in the two military forts to guard the important passage with Hedong.
Chapter completed!
