Chapter 084: Exquisite sand table, future Liaozhou City
Early the next morning, the Governor's Mansion became very lively.
Lu Xia and Lu Chuchu arrived early with the girls from the White Tiger Club.
Thirty guards from Fang Mansion also arrived early, and many tables and stools were brought in.
Hundreds of tables and four stools have been placed in the front yard and patio of the Governor's Mansion.
The state officials in the governor's office seemed to work harder because of the arrival of Lu Xia and other girls from the White Tiger Club.
The sanitation has also been cleaned again, and the entire Governor's Mansion has a brand new feel
Fang Yuan had just arrived, and after seeing this scene, he nodded with satisfaction.
"Zun Zun, we've got it done."
"I'll take the girls back to have a rest and come back before noon?"
Lu Xia trotted to Fang Yuan and reported.
Today's Chengbei Commercial Street Development Meeting will be held at the Governor's Mansion.
Fang Yuan notified Lu Xia two days ago to arrange it before this morning.
"Thank you for your hard work. Bring some pastries and fruits when you come here."
Fang Yuan nodded.
There is still some time before noon, and it is not good for them to be here.
"Would you like some more wine?"
Lu Xia hummed and asked again.
"No, tea will be prepared."
Fang Yuan waved his hand and walked towards the position of governor.
"Okay."
"Sisters, let's go back first."
Lu Xia greeted and took the girls to leave first.
However, one person not only did not leave, but walked in the opposite direction.
"Zun Zhou, I miss you."
Lu Chuchu's whispering voice sounded, and people rushed towards Fang Yuan like flying swallows.
"Ahem, be serious."
Fang Yuan pushed her away and said with a straight face.
This is the front yard, and there are many state officials coming and going, so they have to maintain their prestige.
At this time, many eyes, including Lu Xia's, were looking over here.
"Zun Zhou, I haven't served you for a long time. Are you teaching me?"
Lu Chuchu said delicately.
Don't care about the eyes of the people around you.
As the oiran of the White Tiger Club, she has a strong mentality.
"Be bold, this is the front yard, no dirty words!"
Fang Yuan still said with a straight face.
Lu Chuchu was startled and looked at Fang Yuan pitifully.
Lu Xia and the state officials present were immediately in awe, secretly admiring Fang Yuan for his cleanliness and self-love.
"Go to the backyard!"
Fang Yuan left a word and walked toward the backyard.
Lu Chuchu smiled happily for a moment and followed Fang Yuan towards the backyard.
Vixen!
Lu Xia rolled her eyes and left first.
Time passes slowly, and it is almost noon.
Many people have come to the governor's office, and Li Shimin and Du Miaoyan finally arrived.
Li Shimin learned from Du Miaoyan last night that Fang Yuan held a development meeting for the commercial street in the north of the city today.
Li Shimin became interested when he thought of South Street in Wuling County, and went out after Du Miaoyan prepared the tea.
"Welcome!"
Li Shimin and the other three have just stepped through the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
There were four beautiful girls standing on both sides of the door to greet him.
They are dressed in silk, their styles are elegant but not vulgar, and their smiles are so full that people can't help but take a second look.
"Boss Li, Miss Li, Miss Du, hello."
"It's not yet time for the development meeting. You can find a seat to sit down, or just visit."
"This is the guide for the Chengnan Commercial Street Development Conference. It has an introduction to selecting a rental location. It is very important. You must read it if you confirm the lease."
Lu Xia came over with a smile on her face and said sweetly.
After saying that, he also issued three copies of the "Guide" to each of them.
"Okay."
Li Shimin took it and nodded.
He looked around the front yard of the Governor's Mansion.
The layout is good, atmospheric and not crowded.
"Miss Lu Xia, do you have anyone available?"
"Can you help me place the tea cans on each table?"
Du Miaoyan asked politely.
Pointing to Li Junxian who is carrying the box behind him.
She discussed with Fang Yuan and prepared to promote tea at the development meeting today.
Those arriving today will all be the rich and powerful in Liaozhou City, and it would be wisest to start selling tea from them.
"Okay."
"Sister Shulan, how many people are here."
Lu Xia nodded and looked around the audience.
Finally, the oiran Han Shulan and others were called in to help.
"Thank you."
Thanks to Du Miaoyan.
Follow Li Shimin and Princess Xiangcheng.
At this time, Li Shimin was attracted by the sound in front of him.
There were quite a few people surrounding the place in front of the governor's desk, and exclamations could be heard coming from inside from time to time.
"A masterpiece, a masterpiece that is rarely seen throughout the ages!"
"I have never seen such a lifelike sand table in my life."
"Which master made this? It's so miraculous. How did he do it?"
Li Shimin is tall, but there are many people around him, so he can only stand on tiptoes to see in.
When he saw clearly what everyone was amazed by, he was stunned and his eyes filled with unbelievable shock.
Sand table!
But it’s not a military sandbox like he’s seen before!
Rather, it is like a city, a city that has been shrunk countless times!
But even if it is shrunk countless times, you can still clearly see the real scene in the sand table.
A house, a mountain, a tree and a grass can be clearly seen, but they are obviously very, very small.
"Give way, give way!"
Li Shimin could not suppress his excitement.
He pushed aside the people in front and squeezed to the front.
Du Miaoyan and Princess Xiangcheng quickly followed and squeezed to the front.
"Hiss!!!"
"This sand table!!!"
When Du Miaoyan saw it, she immediately turned pale with horror and couldn't help but take a breath.
It's so exquisite. The key is that it is less than ten feet long and wide, but it looks like there is a city inside.
Princess Xiangcheng was also so shocked that she opened her mouth slightly and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
"It's amazing."
Li Shimin sighed.
His eyes were full of shock.
I couldn't help but reach out to the sand table and want to touch it.
But at this moment, a small stick blocked his hand.
"Boss Li, you can't touch it."
The giant guarded the scene and prohibited anyone from touching or damaging it.
This sand table took him countless days, nights and energy to finally build.
"Giant?!"
"Is this your handiwork?!"
Li Shimin looked over and found that he was a giant from the Mohist Research Institute.
When he was in Fang Mansion, Li Shimin met him and had several brief exchanges with him.
After the words fell, everyone present looked at this seemingly inconspicuous giant.
Just now, they thought that the giant had an ordinary identity and was just responsible for guarding the sand table.
"Haha, it's me."
Juzi smiled happily.
"Master!"
Li Shimin sighed immediately.
He is worthy of being a giant of the Mohist family, and he is truly a skilled craftsman.
"It's actually a master. We are really blind."
"Master's stroke of genius, please accept my gratitude!"
Many people were amazed and wanted to salute the giant.
They are lucky enough to see such uncanny workmanship.
"It can't be done, it can't be done."
"I am just a craftsman, and it is more the work of the state minister."
The giant waved his hands repeatedly, but his mouth was about to burst with laughter.
He likes to do research, and he also likes to hear others praise what he has researched.
It was Fang Yuan who asked him to come out today to enjoy the glory, and it was also what he wanted to come out on.
However, in front of so many people, he adhered to the Mohist principle of modesty and was embarrassed to show it too obviously.
"The giant has a thousand-mile horse, Fangzhou Zunbo is happy!"
Everyone was not stupid, and they could not tell that the giant was being humble. Once again they were impressed by his character and bowed to him one after another.
Li Shimin also admired the giant's craftsmanship and solemnly gave him a cross-hand salute, while feeling filled with emotion in his heart.
If such a masterpiece can be used in the military sandbox, the Tang army will be invincible on the battlefield.
Because there are no secrets on the battlefield anymore, the enemy can be known if they want to ambush, or if they want to escape, etc.
Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately decided to talk to Fang Yuan about the matter after the development meeting to see if he could promote the sandbox.
"Master, can you introduce some sandboxes?"
Suddenly, someone asked.
Everyone also nodded, wondering how the sand table was created.
"Don't be anxious. When everyone comes together, Zhou Zun will introduce it to everyone."
Juzi shook his head and rejected the other party's request.
It was already approaching noon, and the invitees had almost arrived.
Just at noon, Fang Yuan also walked out of the backyard.
As soon as Fang Yuan appeared on the stage, he attracted countless people.
He is the governor of Liaozhou and the nominal first person in Liaozhou.
Not long before joining Fang Yuan, he raided four aristocratic families in a row, which made him a powerful person.
"Meet Governor Fang!"
Everyone saluted Fang Yuan one after another.
At this time, more than 130 people had come to the scene.
They are all representatives of aristocratic families, commercial banks, individual merchants, etc. in Liaozhou.
They are all well-known figures in one city and three counties in Liaozhou. Usually you don’t see so many people gathering together.
"Thank you for coming, please take your seats."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
Everyone stepped back and took their seats.
"Do you know what this is?"
Fang Yuan walked to the sand table and pointed at the sand table path.
The giant has retreated and returned to the backyard of the governor's mansion.
Lu Xia and other girls began to serve cakes and tea to everyone.
"Sand table!"
Everyone laughed in agreement.
They already know about the sand table.
Everyone present had just seen it and marveled at its uncanny workmanship.
"Yes and no."
"I feel that it is more like the future of the north of the city."
Fang Yuan smiled.
As soon as the words fell, there was a lot of discussion on the spot.
"Prince Fang, please speak clearly."
Wang Zhicheng was the first to ask.
Everyone also looked at Fang Yuan curiously.
The sand table is not far away from them and they can still see it.
But a sandbox is just a sandbox, so why is it the future of Chengbei?
But some people seemed to understand, and they looked at Fang Yuan eagerly, waiting for explanation.
"If you are familiar with the north of the city, you should be able to tell that this sand table was designed based on the landforms somewhere in the north of the city."
"But these buildings and the distribution of these plants and trees are not the current city north, but the city north commercial street that I decided to build in a few years."
Fang Yuan smiled confidently.
With the help of sand table, development can come naturally.
As long as there is technical support, this place in the north of the city will look like a sandbox from now on.
"Hiss!!!"
"The sand table looks like what the commercial street will look like in the future?!"
Some people were so shocked that they couldn't help but stand up.
As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked.
No wonder the landscape of the sandbox felt familiar just now.
It turns out to be the landform somewhere in the north of the city, but the distribution has been changed.
"Not bad!"
Fang Yuan nodded solemnly.
"President Fang is so awesome!"
"Imagine the appearance of the commercial street in the north of the city out of thin air."
Wang Zhicheng sighed.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
The image of a sand table comes to mind.
In an instant, they seemed to see a busy commercial street.
Li Shimin sighed and looked at Fang Yuan with a little more approval.
As expected of Ying Mengxianchen, he actually thought of planning a place like this.
In the future, it will not be a problem if the sand table spreads to the entire north of the city, the entire Liaozhou City, and the entire Tang Dynasty.
If the future city can be practiced on a sand table before being built, it will be the perfect city in my mind.
"Everyone, the future commercial street in the north of the city will be a multi-functional street covering clothing, food, housing, transportation, entertainment, etc."
"I will introduce policies to guide the flow of people to the north of the city through consumption discounts and other methods to support the development of the commercial street in the north of the city. Therefore, I recommend that you move your shops there."
"Of course, it's okay not to move, but the commercial street in the north of the city will be a prime location in Liaozhou's future. If we miss this time, we won't have such a good opportunity to move again in the future."
Fang Yuan said slowly.
He decided to plan Liaozhou City.
The north part of the city is mainly for business, entertainment, etc.
The south of the city is mainly where major factories gather, etc.
The east part of the city is mainly residential area as it is now.
As for the west of the city, there are only cement plants there now, and they are probably taking more polluting industrial routes.
"Prefect Fang, customers are nostalgic and like to buy at one place all the time."
"What if we move to the commercial street in the north of the city and the original customers no longer come and the business is bleak?"
Someone asked.
Many people don’t want to migrate.
They have opened shops in one place for a long time, so they naturally know whether that place can make money.
But Fang Yuan mentioned that policies would be introduced, and he was afraid that the flow of people would be led to the north of the city by Fang Yuan, so he did not dare to say that he would not move.
"I have already considered this aspect, and there are two plans that you can listen to:"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"The first plan is to retain the original shop and open a branch in the north commercial street. After confirming that the business is OK, you can decide whether to close the original shop or not."
"The second option is that I guarantee that you will provide the store's turnover in the past three years. If the business after moving to Chengbei Commercial Street is less than before, I will pay the difference in advance."
"But in the second plan, if the business does not decrease but increases, I will ask for a 10% profit share, and additionally provide protection from the governor's office to prevent being bullied."
Fang Yuan looked around the audience and said slowly.
Wang Zhicheng and others were silent, thinking about the pros and cons of what Fang Yuan said.
In fact, they immediately heard that both options were beneficial to them.
It’s just that they are wondering whether it is better to choose the first option or the second option.
There will definitely be no loss in the first plan. The most it will be is an extra salary, which is nothing.
The second plan to advance the difference also ensures that there will definitely be no loss, but if you make money, you will get 10% of the profit.
As for providing protection, everyone has their own ideas.
The big family doesn't worry about being bullied, as long as they don't bully others.
But small aristocratic families or individual merchants, etc., need this very much.
Compared to everyone's contemplation, Li Shimin stared at Fang Yuan with a complicated expression.
He remembered what the owner of the guesthouse said when he was in Wuling County - protective umbrella.
Only now do I understand that this is how the protective umbrella came about.
As the emperor, he did not allow the existence of a protective umbrella for officials.
But listening to what Fang Yuan said today, a protective umbrella is also necessary.
It is the best policy to protect the development of shops and improve the local economy.
"President Fang, we can decide which option to choose after we go back, right?"
Pei Yinghua suddenly interrupted and asked.
He also came to the Chengbei Commercial Street Development Meeting this time.
Among the three tribes in Hedong, people from the Wenxi Pei family and the Fenyin Xue family came.
"Of course it's no problem."
Fang Yuan chuckled.
No matter which plan he chooses, he will not lose money.
When everyone heard this, they came out of their deep thoughts and stopped thinking deeply.
"I will talk about the future development of Liaozhou City."
"Not long ago, I asked you to ask about the cement road in Wuling County. Do you have any questions?"
Fang Yuan is ready to enter the next stage.
But before that, let’s warm up the atmosphere.
It's like robbing houses in later generations. The houses were robbed as soon as they were launched.
"I've asked about it."
"President Fang, do we also make cement roads in Liaozhou?"
Everyone became excited and asked questions one after another.
In fact, when road digging started in Liaozhou, people were already asking for information.
It was also at that time that Fang Yuan released the news and asked them to inquire about the cement road in Wuling County.
I learned that the cement road is so strong and so convenient for transportation, so many people came to appreciate it today.
"Not bad!"
"Yesterday we made a journey from the west of the city to the south of the city."
"It won't be long before the entire city of Liaozhou will have spacious cement roads."
Fang Yuan nodded solemnly, with expectation in his eyes.
What we are looking forward to is not the emergence of cement roads, but the arrival of countless dollars.
Now the money for road construction is all contributed by Fang Yuan, and his family's wealth has been reduced by more than half, so he has to earn back from the cement road.
Everyone became excited.
They don’t understand the concept of building roads before getting rich.
But they know the importance of roads.
They also know what a wide and flat road means.
If all the roads dug now are built, Liaozhou will take off 90,000 miles in the future.
"If you want to get rich, you must first build roads. If you build cement roads, people such as Royal Commercial Bank, Shengyun Commercial Bank, Zhiyuan Commercial Bank, etc. will all come to Liaozhou to develop."
"In Wuling County, I was able to develop the county with a population of only 5,000 people into a population of 80,000 only by relying on cement roads. I believe that Liaozhou City will be more prosperous than Chang'an City in the future!"
Fang Yuan said loudly.
Everyone was in an uproar and shocked.
Some people doubt it, but more people believe it.
Because it is not just empty talk, but Wuling County has testified.
"In the future, every inch of land in Liaozhou City will be valuable!"
"Everyone, you will also make a lot of money under my management!"
"Now, let's start making a fortune from the commercial street in the north of the city. Please choose the location you want to rent!"
Fang Yuan is louder.
Everyone's enthusiasm was also aroused.
They looked at the sand table, as if they were looking at the future city of Liaozhou where every inch of land is precious, and their eyes were so hot.
