Enter the Tang Dynasty with space

Chapter 149 The Big Change in Hami

The situation in Hami City has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The outer city wall has been completely completed. Although it looks a little rough, the actual effect is very good.The city wall made of huge stones is not only strong and firm, but also tightly unites the people of Hami City.

The wide city gate actually adopts a technology similar to the electric gate of the 21st century. The large iron gate is firmly embedded in the stone groove, and there is a simple switch inside the city wall. Of course, the technique of switching and controlling the iron gate is still based on the principle of physics. Press the switch, and the two ends of the iron gate will be pushed out by two iron rods under the action of the principle of leverage, and the switch will be pressed, and the city gate will be closed.To open the city gate, you only need to pull out the switch, and two iron rods will tear the iron gate open. This city gate is really a combination of Yang Zheng's thinking and the hard work of people in the Western Regions. It is a solid line of defense and a beautiful landscape. .

Seeing Yang Zheng's return, the soldiers guarding the city on the tower quickly asked the gatekeepers in the corridor of the city gate to open the gate, while shouting loudly: "The commander is back to the city! The commander is back to the city!"

The city gate opened, and Yang Zheng gently squeezed Roller, and calmly entered Hami City.Zhou Qing also followed closely.

After entering the city, Yang Zheng was slightly shocked by the huge changes.The original earthen houses in Hami City have basically been overturned, and every family is using the remaining stone and wood to build new houses.According to the plan, the floor area of ​​each household is controlled at a standard 150 square meters, and all of them cover two floors.The purpose of this is firstly to balance people's psychology and facilitate better management; secondly, it is also to maintain the beauty of Hami City.The uniform size of the building will definitely make the outsiders feel deeply shocked, so as to strengthen their determination to settle down in Hami City.And such urban planning is also conducive to attracting investment and demonstrating the urban competitiveness of Hami City, so that this new city in the Western Regions near the Hexi Corridor will become a pearl of the Western Regions Province!
Some families have already built their houses due to their large population or hired many helpers, and these people have moved into their new homes happily.Yang Zheng strolled into a family's house.

"The villain sees the military master." A middle-aged Han hurriedly came over to greet him. Seeing Zhou Qing in military uniform behind Yang Zheng, the middle-aged Han was already a little nervous. In his opinion, Yang Zheng must be a high-ranking official.

Zhou Qing was about to introduce Yang Zheng's identity, but Yang Zheng stopped him with his hand and said, "Brother, are you still used to living in the new house?"

"Master Jun, I am very grateful to the Tang Dynasty for the blessings it has brought to us people in the Western Regions. Such a spacious and sturdy stone house really makes us energetic. I want to support the Generalissimo and offer him incense every day." Pray, I wish his parents a long life and good health!" The middle-aged man said sincerely, without any affectation in his words.

This moved Yang Zheng very much. The common people are very down-to-earth people. They will support whoever treats them well.As soon as Yang Zheng came to the Western Regions, he immediately changed their accommodation conditions for free, and the land was about to be distributed to each family. With such benefits, how could they not be regarded as a good person, good official, and good parent by the people!
"Haha, your living habits are good. With the things piled up downstairs and the people living upstairs, you can still get by. In the future, if you have more people living in your home and you really can't accommodate them, you can report it to the government and buy another house. Yes. You guys are busy, let's go!" Yang Zheng nodded with satisfaction. Only when the people live in peace can we vigorously develop the economy. There is hope for the prosperity of this city. In a city without the support of the people, no matter how much money the government can collect, it will be useless. It’s destined not to grow!
"Hey, Mr. Jun, why don't you leave after eating at the villain's house, the villain will immediately let the villain's wife light a fire and cook!" Seeing that Yang Zheng was about to leave, the middle-aged Han man hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay.This guy has a good heart, and he thought that if he could let these two great officials of the Tang Dynasty eat at his home, it would be considered a repayment to the government.

"Thank you, brother, for your kindness. We just came in to take a look, but we still don't want to eat this meal. You work hard, and the good days ahead will be long!" Yang Zheng smiled, and after some encouragement, he came out and led Laura walked on.

Along the way, there were many cases of people like the one just now, and everyone's emotions were very high.

There are also many families who have not yet built their houses. These families often have relatively few people and insufficient labor.Yang Zheng looked a little anxious, so he said to Zhou Qing beside him: "Zhou Qing, tomorrow you will let the soldiers of the special division split up to help these families build their houses as soon as possible."

"Yes, Marshal!" Zhou Qing promised, but he was muttering in his heart: Marshal, you are so kind. Our special division didn't make any money in the war, but it happened to build a house. Hey, special division, Sure enough, everything has to be done.Zhou Qing has some complaints about not participating in the war to unify the Western Regions. The special division is the most powerful among the four divisions, but he did not expect to be "reduced" to the point of building houses today.

"Do you have any objections, kid?" Yang Zheng said abruptly, and Zhou Qing was so frightened that he hurriedly said, "Ah, Commander, I have no objections, not at all, and the special specialists promise to complete the task!"

"Huh, I don't dare to measure you. Don't think that only by fighting can you earn credit. This helps the people live and work in peace and contentment. The credit is not small. In the future, the people will think of you, that is a great credit, and you will live a long life Yes." Yang Zheng knew what Zhou Qing was thinking. Soldiers always hope to charge on the battlefield, but this battle will always be over, especially when Yang Zheng's arrival will inevitably end the troubled times as soon as possible, and even rule the world. It won't be many years, when there will be no war, you Zhou Qing and the special division are still alive?Maybe they will all be discharged from the army by then, and maybe they will go home to farm. It would be an extra favor to let them get used to it as soon as possible, but this kid doesn't appreciate it.

Compared with the construction of private houses, the changes in the commercial area are even greater. The houses in the commercial area are all built by the Hami County Government. Therefore, with the efforts of special engineers, all 1000 shops in Hami City have been completed.The area of ​​the shops is also the same. Each shop covers an area of ​​200 square meters and has the same appearance. The interior decoration depends on personal preferences.

And some shops have been rented by businessmen, and the rent of the shops is very cheap, only 600 yuan a year, so for the businessmen, it is a small fortune.Now most of these shops are dealing in jade and jewelry, some sell daily necessities, and some are rented out to sell cantaloupe, raisins, wine and other things. Live business opportunities.Now that the Tang army is rapidly expanding, occupying a large area of ​​land outside the Great Wall and the Western Regions, and the Western Regions' important position on the Silk Road, it is no wonder that the shops in Hami City cannot make money.

"Commander, this shop is selling wine. Would you like to buy a can and drink it slowly?" Zhou Qing said suddenly.

"No need, let's just go over and have a bowl." Yang Zheng walked to the shop counter and said, "Shopkeeper, do you sell loose wine? Can I serve you two bowls?"

Unexpectedly, the store owner was so nervous that he almost knelt down, "Shen, Shen, see the handsome!"

"You know me?" Yang Zheng saw the situation, this guy must know him.

Sure enough, the man trembled and said: "Yes, Commander. When the Commander entered the city that day, the younger one happened to be at the gate of the city. It was my honor to see the Commander in style."

"Oh, that's it. How does your wine taste? How is the business?" Yang Zheng was not polite and walked directly into the store and sat down.

"Master, wait a moment, I'll serve you wine here." The store's Chinese language is smooth, and the person is also very smooth. He quickly opened a jar of wine, scooped a cup of wine into a bottle Some rough ceramic bowls, and then held it with trembling hands and handed it to Yang Zheng: "Please taste the wine made by the villain."

"Thank you, shopkeeper." Yang Zheng's courteous and courteous attitude also made the nervous shopkeeper secretly relieved. In ancient times, ordinary people were always full of awe for people of Yang Zheng's level, which was also a characteristic of the times.

Yang Zheng took a sip and did not rush to swallow it. He waited for the taste of the wine to fill his entire mouth before swallowing it slowly.

"Good wine! Shopkeeper, your wine is not bad, it is soft and smooth, and it is endless aftertaste. Good wine, really good wine!"

When the store owner heard this, he looked overjoyed and said, "Thank you so much for the compliment, Commander. I'm really flattered."

"Hey, you don't have to be modest about the store. This wine is very good. Have you thought about promoting this wine to the whole Tang Dynasty?" Open up sales.Although Yang Zheng also knew how to make wine, he thought to himself that he couldn't make such a good wine. This store should be a master wine maker.If these wines can be sent to the space for fermentation, the effect may be even better.

The store owner was also a shrewd man. As soon as he heard Yang Zheng's words, he immediately said, "The commander-in-chief said so. I am willing to listen to the commander-in-chief's instructions!"

"Haha, okay, the store owner is really a happy person. Ben Shuai has an idea. Your wine is unique in the Western Regions, and it is even more unmatched in the Central Plains. How about this, you and I partner, and you are in charge of brewing, Ben Shuai is in charge of selling the wine, how about splitting the bill fifty-five at that time?" Yang Zheng was very optimistic about the market prospect of this wine, so he immediately expressed his intention to cooperate.

The store owner could no longer conceal his inner joy. The Tang Dynasty Soldiers and Horses Marshal partnered with him in the wine business. This was like a pie falling from the sky.The cost of wine is actually not high. The grape output in the Western Regions has always been large, but there are very few people who really have his winemaking skills. If Yang Zheng, the general, helps him open up sales, the future financial resources will not be needed. I'm worried, even if I give half of it to Yang Zheng, my profit will be too big.

"Thank you, Commander. Thank you, Commander. Since the Commander thinks highly of the small ones, he can't ask for too much of the small ones. The big ones can take 6% of the small ones, and only 4% of the small ones will do." The store owner is really smart and knows how to retreat.

But Yang Zheng said: "No, it's fair to you to divide the bill fifty-fifty. You have managed the main store in the Western Regions. In the future, we will have more customers to buy goods. Zhou Qing, Zhou Qing, where did you die, hurry up! Come here to me."

Zhou Qing was also sipping wine at the moment. This guy was drinking with all his stomach. Those who didn't know thought he was drinking water.

"Marshal, what are your orders!"

"The ten shops on both sides of this shop are all pressed by me. I want to open up the wine market and make the whole Tang Dynasty and the world go crazy for wine." Since the development of Hami City is still in its infancy, many shops are still Empty, and both sides of this wine shop are very empty, only a few jade shops on the opposite side.So Yang Zheng immediately decided to seize all the nearby shops and expand the scale of the operation.

"Marshal, are you really going to do this?" Zhou Qing was a little incredulous, why did this marshal want to start a business again?
"Nonsense, hurry up and do something." Yang Zheng scolded with a smile, and then turned to talk to the shop owner. The shop's name is Hasle, and he is a native of the Western Regions. His father learned the wine-making technique from a Persian. He got it and passed it on to him, so his winemaking technology is different from others.It's not easy for Yang Zheng to inquire about his secrets, but the main elements of wine, raw materials, fermentation time, climate, etc., are the key to determine the quality of wine. Yang Zheng believes that after he undergoes space fermentation, the taste will definitely be better.

After making an agreement with Hassler, Yang Zheng used the space to summon Yang Qi and Yang Ba, and then introduced them to Hassler. From then on, they will be responsible for the Western Region wine business. .The two of them were naturally overjoyed, for such a profitable business, both of them secretly vowed to do well, so that the master would consider a good destination for them.

And Yang Zheng immediately brought ten cans of wine that had just been canned into the space, and sent them all into the wine cellar of the space hut, ready to see how the space fermented.

At this time, in the Taiji Hall of Chang'an City, Li Shimin was quietly listening to the report.
