Wu Zetian asked Qin Shaoyou to visit King Luling, which made Qin Shaoyou slightly stunned, but when he left the palace, he seemed to understand again.

It is nothing more than that Qin Shaoyou has intensified the conflict today. If Qin Shaoyou had a good deal with King Luling again at this time, the King of Linzi would probably think that Qin Shaoyou was instructed by Li Xian, and it is estimated that the two kings of Li would have a more serious quarrel.

Qin Shaoyou was in a great mood. He did not go to Ruchun Restaurant, but went out of the city and returned to his own village.

Too many things happened this day, which made him exhausted. He rested in the village all night. The next morning, he got up in full spirit and patrolled the village with his hands behind his back.

Zhuangzi has expanded a lot. It is better to say that it is a "city" than a Zhuangzi. Now there is a county town and its popularity is even more lively. The main reason is that it is probably related to the unique goods here.

Whether it is popsicle, tea, or even tea oil, firecrackers, etc., there is no other branch in the world. In addition, these are all best-selling products, so many businesses are afraid that they will be late to start. They snatch them here. How much production is produced, they snatch them up. This transaction will never lose money. If a thousand yuan of tea is given to Shuzhong, the price can be worth ten thousand yuan. As for tea oil, firecrackers and other things, they will also make a lot of profits. Therefore, many merchants simply hired people to stay here. These people usually do nothing, and the only thing is to negotiate with people here, saying that they are idle and lack them. And these people always have to rent a house and have to eat tea in teahouses and restaurants. In this way, various transactions will be sold closely.

A small market originally opened by Qin Shaoyou was overcrowded, but because of the crowds, there were more and more brokers, merchants, and people who wanted to do business. Now the scale is constantly expanding, but this place is far from Luoyang City. Luoyang City is magnificent, and each layout is planned. The pavilions and pavilions are overwhelming. But here is messy, with repaired brick and stone buildings and temporary tents. However, the scale is terrifying for several miles.

The chief Chen Jie followed Qin Shao to talk about many rare things after Qin Shaoyou went out of the frontier. For example, recently the merchants and farmers have more business. Because there are many outsiders and the inns in the market are expensive and overcrowded, many merchants and brokers rent houses of nearby merchants. After all, these foreigners are doing business and are not stingy with money. In January, many merchants and merchants have gained a consistent income.

There are also many foreign refugees who come with their families and want to come and seek refuge. In fact, this is natural. There are many people who come to join us.

Chen Jie did not dare to make arbitrary claims in this matter. The fugitive involved all aspects of problems. At this time, the slaves can be roughly divided into three types, one type of official slaves. That is, the slaves who committed crimes and searched houses, and in addition, private slaves and monks were purified. Most of the private slaves were kept by high sects. These people escaped and had nowhere to go and hid their names. Some people also defected to other high sects, so many high sects often caused disputes over such matters.

Of course, whether it is an official slave or a private slave, it is actually okay. What is really scary is actually the pure monks in the monastery. Today, when the son is good at Buddha, hence the building of temples near Luoyang and many eminent monks were granted as national teachers. These temples have raised a large number of slaves. Often, such slaves who worship monks actually live the most miserable life. If they are just private slaves, they are the private property of high-ranking families. They cannot be allowed to freeze to death, and they will always suffer. However, most of the slaves in the temple are slaves rewarded by the government. After all, the monks in the temple have no descendants, and naturally there is no concept of so-called private property. They are often driven to death by these slaves, even without any clothes and no meals to continue.

Here in Luoyang, the most popular escaped slaves are often the pure people in the monastery, but they are often the ones who refuse to take in, because on the one hand, the emperor is good at Buddha, so monks now have many privileges. On the other hand, many believers of the high sects are originally Buddhists, so naturally they dare not offend the "Buddha".

Qin Shaoyou also knew something about this. He frowned and pondered for a moment: "Try to distinguish it. If you are obviously a fugitive slave, don't cause trouble. But if you are really lonely, you might as well take it in. We make tea and ice here and make oil. People who enter are isolated from the outside. In this world, people who have not received the sacred order will never go to our oil mill, tea mill and ice cellar to investigate. I am not afraid of the king of heaven."

This is the advantage of Qin Shaoyou Zhuangzi. On the one hand, it is now Tiance Mansion, and Tiance Mansion itself is relatively independent. In addition, many of his workshops are separated from the craftsmen from the outside in order to keep secrets. Moreover, the production of tea has involved state affairs. Who has the courage to enter his workshop?

Chen Jie agreed and waited for Qin Shaoyou to inspect for a week and check the accounts. When he found that the surplus of the village had reached tens of thousands of stakes in a month, he couldn't help but be amazed. This did not include the expenses in the village. For example, Qin Shaoyou set up several granaries at the docking place, which stored a large amount of grain every year. If he encountered a good year, he would buy them in large quantities. Now he was hoarded in the farm and the docking granaries, and he accumulated like mountains. The annual cost of purchasing grain exceeded tens of thousands of stakes.

The accumulation of this wealth has reached a point where people are shocking. The money and food in the world are gathering wildly in the Zhuangzi like snowballs. The money and food have become swords, guns, swords and halberds that supply the Unity Camp, and become food. In addition, in order to ensure the absolute confidentiality of the workshop, Qin Shaoyou looked at the millions of wealth accumulated in this account book and seemed to find that there seemed to be too many things he could do.

With this opening of the palace, Qin Shaoyou really has to do a lot of things, such as recruiting his own officials, such as...building a city.

That’s right, with the expansion of production scale, especially tea production, in order to ensure absolute confidentiality, the more people participate in the production, the more people and talkative it is. If you want to completely isolate the people who produce the production, the only way... is to build a brand new city with Zhuangzi as the center. This city will not only be the resident of Tiance Mansion, but also have a special production area, special transactions, garrisons and warehousing areas.

In name, Qin Shaoyou was not worried that his own city construction would bring too much convenience, because thousands of people were required to participate in the production of tea to supply the whole country and the desert. Then Qin Shaoyou had every reason to give Wu Zetian an explanation.

For Wu Zetian, controlling the desert so that his throne of Tian Khan will not have any mistakes. The absolute monopoly of tea is very necessary. The secret recipe leaks, which means that everyone in the world can make tea. Even if the court prohibits it, it will be impossible to control it.

Wu Zetian would not object to building a city in this name.

Moreover, Wu Zetian had the idea of ​​pulling the Tiance Army to be independent of the flying cavalry and the imperial guards, so it seems that it is understandable to cultivate Qin Shaoyou and encourage his strength in the short term.

In any case, the conditions for building a city are fully met. Qin Shaoyou is rich, and the palace will not object. These two points alone are enough.

However, it is not a matter of course to build a city. This is back to the problem that Qin Shaoyou had to solve at the beginning...that is talent.

After all, not everyone has experience in building a city. In fact, this is definitely a highly professional mission. It is easy to build a mansion. Any craftsman with a little experience can do it. But if you want to build a city, it must also have the functions of production, garrisoning, security and confidentiality, trade and other aspects, which is not very simple.

In addition to this, Qin Shaoyou also needs many people with management experience. In this way, Qin Shaoyou feels that he should calm down and make a plan.

When a person reaches a certain level, he does not become rich. Money is a must-have, but it is only one of the basic conditions. When he returned to Zhuangzi, Qin Shaoyou thought about it again and again, and then stayed silently in the study, thinking hard and recalling.

He actually didn't know much about history, but some specialized talents have some knowledge of it, but they only know a little about it, so they must carefully consider it.

Two days later, Princess Taiping Li Lingyue happened to come to Zhuangzi. Qin Shaoyou knew that the princess was a woman, and she was probably more concerned about some interesting stories, so she couldn't help but ask her: "Your Highness, have you heard of Yang Wulian?"

Li Lingyue was confused and blinked and said, "I have never heard of you. You have been so weird lately. I am not a careful study. How can I know these things?"

Qin Shaoyou smiled bitterly and said, "So your Highness knows that there are famous civil carpenters in this world?"

Li Lingyue frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I know that there is a man named Yang. The civil engineering work is amazing. However, it seems that he was removed from office because of corruption. He was specially appointed as a master craftsman by the court. It is said that his most powerful thing is not just building cities and building palaces. When he was in Qinzhou, he made a wooden man who looked similar to a monk. He could beg for a bowl. I remembered him because of this. Oh, was it him who you mentioned Yang Wulian?"
