After the meeting, Li Shimin returned to Chang'an.
Cheng Yaojin, on the other hand, said that he had not had enough fun or food yet, so he wanted to stay here for a few more days.
Well, there's nothing wrong with going back now anyway, so Li Shimin had no choice but to give them a bunch of old guys three days' leave and let them continue to play here for three days.
Friends like Cheng Chuliang, Yuchi Baoqi and Qin Huaiyu also stayed.
Moreover, they all want to follow Li Min.
In fact, they all have positions in the imperial court.
Is it better to serve in the court or stay with Li Min?
According to their original thinking, it would be better to stay in the court.
But now, unknowingly, these old guys have changed their minds and agreed that they should stay with Li Min.
Cheng Chuliang and the others didn't even arrive first. Their parents actually agreed to their request, which made these little friends extremely happy!
Yizhou is great!
First, the sky is high and the emperor is far away here, and there is no control at all.
Second, there is everything you need to eat, drink, and have fun here. It is simply more fun than in Chang'an.
Also, their best brother, King Shu, is here.
They are very happy to be able to stay.
And what about Li Min? He is even happier.
Someone really sent him a pillow when he was dozing off. He was worried that there was no help around him, so now he got help from someone.
Among his brothers, except for Cheng Chuliang, who has no brains, the rest of them can more or less take charge of their own business, which can solve his urgent needs.
After they decided to stay, Li Min couldn't wait to arrange them all.
Only Cheng Chuliang was really difficult to arrange for a while, so Li Min simply ordered him to manage the security of Yizhou City.
Li Min's next work focus will temporarily shift to the train.
Although Su Peng has been appointed as the train conductor, he has been given full responsibility for many things.
But he definitely wouldn't be able to play it alone.
Now, trains face several problems.
The first question is, now that the track is laid, the train has been purchased.
Then, you have to start running.
If it doesn't run, the train will be in vain.
But now the question arises. Is there such a need for such frequent circulation between Yizhou and Chang'an for the time being?
Are there so many supplies that need to be transported?
The cost of a train trip is very high, and if there are few goods, it won’t even cover the cost of the train.
Also, since the train is open to traffic, will anyone come to Yizhou? How many people will come?
How often does the train run?
Another problem is that the train track, which is more than a thousand miles long, must be inspected by someone.
It is necessary to ensure that the railway tracks are not damaged.
This railway requires an extremely large manpower to maintain.
These are all problems.
To solve these problems, it is obviously impossible to rely solely on train conductor Su Pengcheng.
After thinking about it, Li Min decided to add more than a dozen train stations on the way from Yizhou to Chang'an.
These prefectures and counties along the way can transport goods to Yizhou or Chang'an, and even several stations in between.
Of course, if you want to transport it, you need to pay a certain shipping fee.
Of course, Li Min is not prepared to set the current freight rate too high.
At least, it should be lower than land transportation.
The price is lower than land transportation, and the speed is faster and safer than land transportation.
In this way, I believe that the vast majority of people will choose to use trains for transportation.
But building railway stations in various places requires a lot of financial resources and manpower.
If Li Min is responsible for all of this, the workload will be huge.
Therefore, after much thought, Li Min decided to contract all these projects.
Li Shimin directly stepped forward to contract all these projects to local government agencies.
Although the government agencies need to be responsible for building railway stations and recruiting workers, they also need to maintain the safety of the railway tracks in the sections they are responsible for.
But similarly, they can also get a share of the train tickets sold and the materials consigned by the guests.
Moreover, a big project that requires recruiting so many people is also a lucrative job for them.
Therefore, Li Min believed that government offices everywhere would be happy to do this.
Moreover, if these local officials are really smart, they can also strengthen the construction of tourism according to their own local characteristics.
After writing this matter to Li Shimin, Li Min didn't need to worry about it anymore.
What Li Min has been busy with recently is to increase publicity to Yizhou.
If Yizhou wants to develop, the current hardware equipment is sufficient.
With rails and trains, transportation to the outside world has been opened.
But there is still a lack of customer traffic.
If there are so many tourists, how much GDP growth can the tourism industry alone bring to Yizhou?
If you want to develop the tourism industry, publicity is indispensable.
What Li Min needs to do now is to promote Yizhou's tourism industry in the early stages.
How to promote it?
Are we still distributing small advertisements in Chang'an City as before?
This is not impossible.
But since Li Min used it many times, small advertisements have now been used by everyone.
I guess if I use it again, the effect won't be as good.
Furthermore, small advertisements do not have sustainable development.
Tourism promotion is a long-term task that cannot be accomplished in one go.
Therefore, after much thought, Li Min decided to print a Yizhou monthly newspaper.
When it is printed for the first time, it will be distributed free of charge. At a later stage, it will depend on the situation whether there will be any charges.
With continuous publicity by Yizhou Monthly, I believe it will attract countless tourists.
As long as they set up the hardware well in Yizhou, word of mouth will spread through these tourists, and Yizhou will definitely attract more and more tourists.
Li Min is quite confident about Yizhou.
Didn’t you see that even Li Shimin and several old generals were reluctant to leave after they arrived?
In the following time, Li Min once again prepared to select and establish the editor-in-chief of Yizhou Daily.
The talents Li Min brought from Chang'an have now been placed in various departments, and now there is really no one available.
The best way is, of course, to hold imperial examinations.
However, classes at Yizhou University have just started, and those students have not yet completed their studies, so Li Min has no good solution.
This can only be done by recommending talents.
Fortunately, the talents recommended to him recently are all very good.
This time, Li Min selected a scholar named Xia Yuntian and decided to use him to be responsible for the editing work of Yizhou Daily.
In the following time, Li Min appointed Xia Yuntian to be responsible for completing the literary work, that is, writing articles.
As for Li Min, he personally went to Baihuatan, the amusement park, and Yizhou New Town to shoot the scenes.
