Starting from the next day, huge and eye-catching bulletin boards were erected inside and outside Liaodong City, as well as banners hanging on the streets.
There are also some Han people in Liaodong City.
The people in Liaodong City have never seen such a scene. Not to mention the people in Liaodong City, even the people in the Tang Dynasty have never seen such a scene.
Come to think of it, maybe you could only see it in Jinsha Prefecture or during the large-scale development in the southern Liuzhao area.
Nowadays, people of all ethnic groups in the Jinsha Prefecture and the Liuzhao area in the south can copy a not very standard one out of ten.
But it is enough for people from the Central Plains of the Tang Dynasty to communicate in Mandarin of the Shu region of the Tang Dynasty.
These contributions are naturally the result of Cheng Sanlang's guidance, as well as the joint efforts of the Han and Tang Dynasty merchants and the government at all levels.
Now, Cheng Sanlang has become a core and powerful figure in the military and political power, so it is naturally more convenient.
Of course, in addition to road construction, this area of the Liaodong Plain was originally a fertile land. Now that there are rice seeds, how can they leave it vacant, and then they can only helplessly transport grain and grass from other areas.
The Han and Tang dynasties already had a large number of skilled craftsmen, including a large number of engineering teams, who had arrived in Dengzhou early, and many of them had even gone to Fuso Island, Nakuyi Island and other places to carry out construction.
Now that Liaodong is undergoing major construction projects, and Cheng Sanlang is the chairman of the Han-Tang Commercial Bank, he naturally prioritizes meeting his own needs and those of Liaodong.
A large number of sea-going ships are also rushing here from all over, and they are constantly coming in and out of the expanded Dengzhou Port.
After being loaded with goods and craftsmen at Nadengzhou Port, we set sail from here and headed for Liaodong.
This made the Liaodong area, which originally had a small population, become almost visibly lively.

At the port at the southern end of Liuqiu Island, Manager Cheng was busy actively communicating with the tribal leaders on various issues.
"Chief steward, why is it that our tribe received almost a hundred stones less food, cloth, and iron tools..."
A tribal leader who had long since stopped wearing bird feathers on his head, and whose linen robes had been replaced by high-quality white folded cloth trousers, was making a complaint unwillingly.
After hearing this, Manager Cheng turned his head and looked behind him. The manager who was responsible for dealing with these tribes whispered a few words into Manager Cheng's ear.
The smile on Manager Cheng's face that was like a spring breeze was still there, but the words in his mouth were not very polite.
"The number of children from your tribe who came to Mongolian School to participate in cultural studies this year is ten less than last year. According to our previous regulations..."
The tribal leader couldn't help but retort.
"But the big stewards, they are adults and can help the tribe."
"Adult? You call a twelve-year-old boy an adult?!" The smile on Manager Cheng's face suddenly disappeared, and he patted his chest gently with his big hand.
"Clan leader, please don't forget that this place is now our territory of the Tang Dynasty, and you have already signed a naturalization agreement. You all belong to our country of the Tang Dynasty."
"And our Tang Dynasty has regulations that only those who are sixteen years old or above can be said to be adults, and there is one clause in the agreement you signed with me at the Han and Tang Dynasties."
"All school children who enter school and leave under the age of sixteen will have their family and tribe's aid money, food and materials deducted in proportion."
Seeing the sudden change in the expression of the chief steward, the tribal leader, who had been quite loud just now, immediately wilted and touched his belly which was gradually bulging.
I couldn't help but feel a little hesitant. At this time, a tribal leader next to me smiled flatteringly at Manager Cheng.
"Chief Steward, our tribe has added five more Mongolian children to school this year. I don't know..."
"Don't worry, they all belong to the same household. Cheng will ask people from the school to visit them later. As long as the situation is true and there is no fraud, it will be your turn and you will get a lot of money."
"In addition, if there are five more people, I will give your tribe another place so that they can work in the factory here at the trading house."
"In short, Mr. Cheng is willing to open his heart to you and do things fairly and justly in all transactions. But if anyone wants to play tricks on Mr. Cheng, even if you sue the government..."
"What did the chief steward say? We and other ministries are here today only because of the Han and Tang Dynasty merchants' willingness to cooperate with us."
In the end, the tribal leader just now had no choice but to honestly admit his mistake to Manager Cheng Da, and said that after returning to the tribe, he would teach the parents of those Mengtong children a lesson as soon as possible, and then he would personally punish those ten
Mengtong was sent back to school again.
One by one, each matter was resolved satisfactorily in such a frank and frank atmosphere. It was truly a joy for the host and the guest.
At this moment, the sound of galloping hooves came from outside, and soon someone was heard shouting with a loud voice.
"Big shopkeeper, Second Young Master Li is back, Second Young Master Li is back..."
"Second Master Li?" When he heard the first call, Manager Cheng was still confused. When the second call came into his ears, Manager Cheng felt as if he had been stabbed by a needle in his buttocks.
Jumped up normally.
Then, under the gaze of the stunned tribal leaders, he rushed out of the gate very quickly.
"But the second young master of Duke Wei's family?"
"Exactly, they have returned, bringing with them representatives of the Yin Shang people, as well as many special products and species from the Yin Shang continent..."
After hearing this, the shopkeeper Cheng immediately slapped his hands with bright eyes. "Well done, brothers, come here to Cheng, hurry, hurry, hurry..."

Li Dejiao stood on the front deck with a haggard and haggard face, looking dreamily at the approaching coast.
Previously, we had encountered a ship belonging to the Han and Tang Dynasties Trading Company, and that ship had already dispatched a speedboat to rush back to Liuqiu Dagang to report the news.
And the ship from the Han and Tang Dynasty merchant houses also came with them to Liuqiu Dagang.
Li Dezhou and his crew's ship had gone through a difficult ocean voyage and now looked a little dilapidated. However, the eye-catching Chinese flag with Chinese characters on the top of the ship's mast was still fluttering in the wind.
Behind Li Dejiang, there were the high priest and the young talents of the tribe who were ordered to accompany them. They all stretched their necks and looked towards the coast.
"Steward, does this already count as the territory of the Tang Dynasty?"
A young man wearing a dress that was obviously very different from that of the Tang Dynasty and even the countries surrounding the Tang Dynasty asked the captain of the Han and Tang trading companies who happened to meet them.
"You, can you speak Guanzhong Mandarin of the Tang Dynasty?"
