If you want to truly build a country, it must expand hundreds and thousands of times.
However, even if they gave up all their land in Datang in exchange.
I'm afraid I won't be able to exchange for such a large piece of land.
After all, they are just a family, not a country.
Although they hoarded a large amount of land, they did not reach the scale to build an empire.
Because their family's accumulation over hundreds of years is more than just hoarding land.
There are also various supplies.
But since the emperor has said that, no matter how much land they give, they can only exchange it for such a large area in the Golden State.
Then, the emperor must have some countermeasures.
In this case, for the time being, they would build the city first.
Once the town is built, they can expand it however they want.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. When the time comes, can they still obey the emperor's will?
Originally, they were afraid that Huaxia City would attack and be detrimental to them.
But now, Cui Zhiji is really not that scared.
Even the roads are closed now!
There aren't many people in Huaxia City now.
If they want to attack, how long will it take to prepare?
I'm afraid ten or eight years may not be enough.
Furthermore, he has nothing disadvantageous to Huaxia City, so why should he attack us?
Well, after all, they are still afraid of Huaxia City and the King of Shu.
The additional construction will be an extremely huge project.
Because the scale of the city they want to build is not much different from that of Huaxia City.
Even the underground drainage projects and the layout of the city are almost the same.
And not only the Cui family, but also the construction layout of other houses are not much different.
Such a striking similarity is certainly not a coincidence.
Instead, they secretly purchased the architectural structural drawings of Huaxia City at a high price.
Of course, it's not the original, but a copy.
People from these aristocratic families are still afraid of being fooled.
Then hire professional talents to conduct strict accounting.
In the end, I found that this is a design with beautiful layout, rigorous structure, and almost perfection.
To be on the safe side, they looked for more than one wave of professionals.
Some were trained by their own family, and some were recruited from outside.
But the opinions of all experts are that there is nothing wrong with it.
Only then did they feel relieved.
Of course, these architectural structural drawings were leaked to them intentionally by Li Min.
If Li Min didn't want to give it to them, how could people from these aristocratic families get these drawings?
Li Min gave them these drawings, of course because he wanted the cities they built to meet certain standards.
Especially the underground drainage system, this is the top priority.
For a city, if the underground drainage system is not well constructed when the city is first built.
It will be very troublesome to modify it later.
Because a large number of buildings have been built, do you want to dig a drainage system underground?
It's really difficult.
The best thing is to build a complete underground drainage system from the beginning.
It was for this reason that they got these drawings.
With these drawings, everything will be much easier to handle.
The scariest thing about the aristocratic family is actually not just that they have money, power and land.
What's even more terrifying is their inheritance.
A family that has been around for hundreds of years spares no effort in cultivating talents.
This has also led to the aristocratic family being filled with talents, and there is no shortage of talents from all walks of life.
At the same time, they also gathered a large number of outstanding talents around them.
Therefore, when building a city, with the blueprints in hand, other commanding talents, or professional talents, are all available.
And because they were willing to take out the money, the surrounding aborigines were attracted.
Their current construction speed is actually faster than they originally expected.
Cui Zhiji took command from the center, constantly calculating the various materials needed and dispatching them from the center.
The order in which they built the city was almost the same as the order in Huaxia City.
Because they discovered that King Shu was really a genius.
His construction sequence is basically the most appropriate and scientific one.
Therefore, the first thing they built was naturally residential buildings.
No need to say this.
After building residential houses, they can only help the people who stand in front of them to live in the houses.
Only then did they have a place to stay.
…
At this time, Li Min also quietly came to Huaxia City.
This time, Cui Yingying came with him.
As for Shangguan Wan'er, it seems that she was hurt by Li Min last time and did not go with her.
This made Li Min breath a sigh of relief.
After what happened last time, if he met this little girl again, Li Min really didn't know how to face her.
After Cui Yingying came to Huaxia City, she could finally live under the sun as she wished.
You can enter at will and live unrestrainedly.
Li Min found that the smile on her face was much more than usual.
Cui Yingying also officially became the wife of the city lord.
The construction progress of Huaxia City is really changing with each passing day.
I haven’t been here for more than half a year. It’s really a big change to come to Huaxia City again this time.
It even gave Li Min a strange feeling.
Xicheng has basically been fully constructed, and Dongcheng is mainly an export processing zone, with most of it already constructed.
Many factories there have been opened.
In Nancheng and Beicheng, there are mainly small commodity wholesale markets and some residential areas.
It is still under construction.
The construction of the royal palace was also in progress at this time.
Of course, although it is said to be a royal palace, it is actually exactly the size of a royal palace.
Such a large-scale building may not be completed in ten or eight years.
At present, Li Min does not focus on construction here.
In the early days, the imperial palace was just a few palaces building the inner palace.
First build the place where they live.
Now Li Min's wife and children have not come to Huaxia City. One of the reasons is that the place to live has not been built yet.
Then there is the main hall where you need to attend morning court and handle official business.
Then, there must be a royal study room.
After building these, you will have a place to live and work temporarily.
As for other places, it is not too late to build slowly.
Now, the TV tower in Huaxia City has been completed, and the TV signal covers the entire Huaxia City.
Of course, the functions of TV towers are also gradually developing and improving.
In fact, the coverage of TV signals extends far beyond the territory of China City.
But outside of Huaxia City, there is no electricity or TV, let alone receiving TV signals.
However, the current expansion speed of Huaxia City is also extremely alarming.
The flow of people in Huaxia City is also gradually increasing.
At present, Huaxia City has become a big city.
With the completion of the construction of the TV Tower, China Television was also established.
After the TV program was broadcast on the first day, it once again shocked countless aborigines.
Especially the second weather forecast program shocked them beyond measure.
Oh my God, this is so amazing, right?
They actually know whether it will be windy or rainy tomorrow?
Isn't this something only gods would know?
These aborigines yearn for the life in Huaxia City.
For this mysterious city lord who had saved countless of their lives.
They are grateful and respectful in their hearts, but also have some fear.
Because this city lord is simply omnipotent and omniscient!
He is simply a god in heaven.
…
After returning to Huaxia City, Wu Meiniang and Shangguan Yi both came to report to Li Min.
After listening to their report, Li Min immediately felt relieved.
At present, the two of them are actually in an antagonistic relationship.
Everyone has a group of people under him.
Li Min was really afraid of them and fell into endless internal fighting.
Fortunately, they are all sensible people and this situation did not happen.
Li Min is very satisfied with their work ability and work progress.
The next step is what Li Min needs to focus on right now.
That is why Li Min needs to know the development situation of the top ten aristocratic families in the Golden State.
Dreamweaver is still in charge of the intelligence here.
In order to provide Li Min with reliable information, Xu Hui sent one of her most trusted right-hand men, Shadow, to Li Min.
This shadow has not used his real name for many years.
Even he himself has forgotten what his real name is.
Only the codename Shadow has always been with him.
The Dream Weaver Organization gradually developed and grew in Xu Hui's hands.
In every aristocratic family, there are eyes and ears they send in.
Moreover, the development of the Dreamweaver organization was also greatly influenced by Li Min.
Bi Fang said that there is now a special training academy in the Dream Weaver Organization.
There is a lot of targeted training in it, such as how to resist torture, how to torture, and how to counter torture.
There is also a series of training in specialized psychology, investigative science, etc.
And those who can go through these trainings are all elites.
Originally, it was very difficult to break into the aristocratic family.
Because the aristocratic family pays attention to bloodline and origin.
At this point, it has to be said that they are weak.
However, what they lacked the most in Jiannan Road at that time was actually all kinds of talents.
At that time, Yizhou University was founded by Li Min.
And some more profound and cutting-edge knowledge cannot be learned by outsiders at all.
This also leads to the fact that top talents are actually in Li Min's hands.
What the aristocratic family lacks most is actually talents.
They use all means to attract talents.
The talents they roped into the family received very high welfare benefits.
They even do not hesitate to use marriage to tie up these talents.
In the past, the aristocratic family was proud.
They are so arrogant that they only marry within their own circle.
Because they feel that outsiders are too inferior and humble, and marrying them would simply tarnish their noble bloodline.
But now, the imperial power is getting stronger and stronger, and the family is declining.
Back then, the Lu family had their eyes high and were arrogant.
The weeds on their family's mass graves are now one foot tall.
Finally, the noble heads of these aristocratic families began to use marriage alliances to win allies and recruit various talents.
It is for this reason that the Dream Weaver Organization can use talents to easily penetrate into these aristocratic families.
And the life background of these talents has been perfectly matched by them.
And for these talents, both parties actually treat them extremely favorably.
The things they need to do are also very simple. When they have nothing to do, they only need to do research.
Then, when there are important matters within the family, they pass these matters through secret channels.
Although these people are just researchers.
But because they are regarded as treasures by aristocratic families, they also have the right and opportunity to be exposed to the internal trends of some aristocratic families.
Of course, this is just part of their high-end route.
They have other channels.
However, Li Min has great trust in Xu Hui for the Dream Weaver Organization.
Li Min was not involved in their internal operations.
Not long after, the shadow came to Li Min's side.
"The shadow has met its master."
People around Xu Hui seemed to like calling him that, and Li Min didn't bother to correct them.
Li Min couldn't help but ask Shadow: "How is the development of the top ten aristocratic families now?"
Shadow replied: "Master Qi, the ten major aristocratic families are currently experiencing varying degrees of trouble."
"The main reason is that they were not fully prepared and did not take into account issues such as roads and fresh water preparations."
Hearing what Shadow said, Li Minbu nodded.
It is normal to encounter setbacks in the early stages.
Li Min was not afraid that they would retreat when faced with difficulties.
These aristocratic families have invested a lot of capital, and if they withdraw now, they will lose everything.
And Li Min believes that these aristocratic families will never give up easily.
I heard Shadow continue to say: "However, at present, they have basically overcome the customer difficulties."
"The main reason is that the indigenous people have great trust in them because of us."
"There's also a lot of help for them, so they're gradually getting out of trouble."
"Currently, the construction of the top ten aristocratic families is on track."
"Their construction layout is all based on the layout of Huaxia City."
"The speed of their construction is either fast or slow."
"The fastest is undoubtedly the Cui family."
After hearing this news, Li Min couldn't help but nodded.
In fact, Li Min is even more anxious than them now.
After all, the Golden State's infrastructure is too backward.
Currently, Nuo Da's territory is half the size of the Tang Dynasty.
But there is only one decent city, Huaxia City.
This speed is really too slow!
And take Huaxia City as an example. Without ten or eight years of hard work, they would have never expected to successfully build it.
This is just a city.
And if you want to build an empire, how many cities are needed?
How long do they take to develop?
Li Min didn't want to wait that long.
And now?
The top ten aristocratic families are here.
With them, the Golden State, originally one city, will soon become eleven cities.
Although still a little less.
But this speed suddenly increased to ten times!
Li Min believes that based on the background of these aristocratic families, their construction speed will not be slow.
After all the cities of these aristocratic families are built.
There are eleven cities in the entire Golden State.
Although compared to such a large area, it is still too sparse.
But, at least it's a very good start.
And when all the roads between these eleven cities are connected, more and more cities will be built between these cities.
Slowly, the entire Golden State will be able to develop and grow.
Li Min couldn't help but said to Shadow: "Okay, you go down. If there is anything important, just report it to me directly."
"Yes, Master!"
After the shadow retreated, Li Min couldn't help but find Shangguan Yi.
Then he said to Shangguan Yi: "Prime Minister Shangguan, let's make arrangements like this."
"In Huaxia City, leave the food we need, and find a way to send the excess food to the ten major families!"
After hearing Li Min's instructions, Shangguan Yi smiled slightly and said, "Yes, Your Highness, I will take care of it now."
The supply of food in Huaxia City is now seriously exceeding demand.
Because this side of the Golden State is vast and sparsely populated.
The yield of food is relatively high, so there is never a shortage of food here.
In fact, some indigenous people and many families have been hoarding food for several years.
With the construction of Huaxia City, more and more people began to flock here.
Huaxia City needs a lot of food every day.
And those businessmen among the aboriginal people found this to be a huge business opportunity.
So, they sold grain and then transported it to Huaxia City for sale.
And Li Min felt that after two years, it would be difficult for Huaxia City to be self-sufficient in food.
In the past two years, if you don't want to transport food here from Datang, it is best to stock up on some food.
Therefore, Li Min ordered people to purchase grain secretly and then hoard it.
Now, they have already stocked up enough food reserves for two years.
But the grain merchants among the aborigines have no idea how much grain is hoarded in Huaxia City.
They just have the instinct of small businessmen. When they see a profit, they immediately rush in.
They are still transporting food to Huaxia City in a steady stream.
In fact, by now, the food in Huaxia City has been seriously exceeded.
If it weren't for Shangguan Yi's secret control, I'm afraid the price of food would have been reduced by now.
As soon as the price of grain drops, many grain merchants will go bankrupt.
This is a market economy.
Once those businessmen go bankrupt, it will affect the enthusiasm of other businessmen.
Therefore, Shangguan Yicai secretly regulates the grain market.
At present, the grain market has maintained normal prices.
Huaxia City is actually not afraid of more food.
They have huge funds and hoard a batch of grain, which does not have much impact on their construction.
But it has a huge promotion effect on the whole day's business.
But now, with the participation of the ten major aristocratic families, their food is currently in a serious shortage.
The food hoarded in Huaxia City can be sold to them through this channel.
But now, because there is no direct road.
If you want to transport it to any of the top ten aristocratic families, you need to make multiple transfers.
The road is not easy to walk, and it takes a lot of time on the road.
After it is shipped to them, the price will at most double, so the price cannot be too high.
Because if the price is too high, they might as well transport the grain directly from Datang.
In fact, they don't make a profit at this transaction price. At most, they just maintain the appearance of neither losing money nor making a profit.
But even so, even if he loses a little, Li Min will choose to do this.
As long as food can be delivered, these ten aristocratic families will no longer need to transport food from Datang.
With the space freed up, they can transport more supplies.
Their construction can be further accelerated, so why not?
