In Luoyang, the second prince is becoming more and more restless.

This highness seemed a little unwilling to be lonely, but obviously he was still within controllable range.

Qin Shaoyou just frowned and pursed his lips before throwing the report aside. It was obvious that Qin Shaoyou didn't have much interest in such a stupid person.

But if you think about it carefully, is this person really stupid? I guess it is not.

But everyone has their own position and will be their own.

Perhaps in the view of that highness, the world belongs to his family, and anyone who takes it from him will be unforgivable, so he can only fight and rob.

But he didn't know that the world, or Kanto, no longer needed such an unnecessary emperor. The emperor was a product of the noble group to some extent. Its birth came from aristocrats. To determine their legal status, a sacred emperor needed to provide protection for themselves, or in other words, a stable social form. Only in this way can their family grow up and maintain a delicate balance in a relatively stable form.

The nobles or noble families, such huge families, obviously do not have a strong pursuit of power. In other words, although they are fighting for power and profit, their fundamental interests do not lie in this. Their fundamental interests lie in absolute stability or avoiding all risks.

Because the temporary growth of the family business is essentially not of great significance to a family, what they pursue is obviously not a flash in the pan, but a success of everything.

It is precisely because of this that they need a emperor who can represent their interests and also give them the legal system to maintain their family business. However, in Kanto now, there seems to be no such legal system. In order to protect their own interests, merchant groups do not need a private protector of land. To a certain extent, this has become their obstacle.

No merchant wants to have one local tyrant after another local tyrant in the local area, nor does he want to have one local landlord group after another local area. These landlords even control the local laws, resources and population. Because these local tyrants spread all over the local tyrants will only make it difficult for merchants to move forward. Because a large population is tyrants, merchants want to expand production or obtain production resources. They have to rely on the local tyrants.

What merchants prefer is to break the interests of local areas into fragments, that is, the fragmentation of resources and the fragmentation of rights. Only in this way can they walk around the world with confidence, or invest in various places, without worrying about the intrusion caused by those forces with deep roots.

It is like if the land of a county is controlled by several families and the surplus population of a county is mostly controlled by several major families, then merchants will definitely avoid such places because they want to operate locally and cannot bargain with such major families.

It is precisely because of this that anyone who has integrated into Kanto will no longer be afraid of the second prince, and the most ridiculous problem is that the second prince may not have any appeal in Kanto. However, he has a lot of appeals for Guanzhong and other towns.

Qin Shaoyou narrowed his eyes and pondered for a long time, but he was still determined to let the second prince go.

Most of the other reports from Luoyang are step by step. The operation of Shence Mansion and the Five Military Mansions has become more and more handy, and the meeting hall is still noisy. More and more people have become petty citizens, and more and more people have become craftsmen. Emerging industries are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. Especially those industries serving the emerging classes are even more like crucian carp.

In the past, farmers had no demand, which means that the previous business and industry were poor. It is precisely because of this poverty, the so-called social form is not an exaggeration to describe it as a pool of stagnant water. For thousands of years, there have always been those brothels, those wine shops, and those tea shops, except for this.

However, the emerging classes are different. With enough warehouses and demand has become more prosperous. The specialization and segmentation of the industry have made it impossible for them to be self-sufficient. They eat what they grow in their own fields and wear clothes knitted by their own wives. This is obviously not very obvious. So they have to buy it. With the prosperity of the market, people's needs have begun to deviate from food, clothing, housing and transportation. For example, people like to use more fashionable soapcorns, start to rinse their mouths with special teeth, start to have the need to read, write, and start to love music.

The strong demand is business opportunities. The greater the business opportunity, the more prosperous the market will be, the more employed workers will be hired, and more people will participate in this kind of life, which means that the demand is even more prosperous than before.

This is a cycle. In the past, the only form of high and low are becoming more diverse. There are farmers, workers, and porters at the bottom of society, and quite rich craftsmen. Intermediate hiring workers. Further up, there are small managers, craftsmen and craftsmen leaders, and some doctors. The more diverse it is, it means that the needs of each class are different. Different needs will lead to more industries.

Sometimes, Qin Shaoyou can always see many interesting things from some newspapers, and these interesting things are related to some things in later generations, such as the birth of a hotel.

In the past, inns were often small in size and the services provided were too simple. At least in Luoyang, the situation was completely different. Because there were too many business trips, this led to almost all the time being in Luoyang's inns being full all year round, so many business trips had to stay or even stay in stables to settle down. Therefore, some giant inns emerged like bamboo shoots after a rain. However, the problem arises. The larger the inn, the more land you need. In Luoyang, where every inn is worth every inch, you want to

Using the specifications of the former inn is simply a waste of resources. An inn that accommodates hundreds of rooms is afraid it will occupy more than hundreds of acres of land. The cost of purchasing land alone is probably sky-high. Since this is the case, there are naturally some other strange things. It is nothing more than building bricks and building several floors of small buildings. It is just such a small building, because it saves costs such as patios and has to improve water diversion facilities. Fortunately, after accumulating a lot of experience, the civil carpenters in Luoyang are always unique. Finally...

This building is similar to the guesthouses in later generations, and Ye Chunqiu could only laugh and cry. In fact, in essence, when the urbanization of mankind is higher, land becomes a scarce resource. In addition, the pace of life accelerates, this leads to the fact that both buildings and clothing have to return to nature and begin to practice simplicity.

Naturally... Such ugly things pay more attention to practicality, but compared to other inns, there are many benefits. For example, because of their huge scale, it means that more people need to be recruited. A small inn may only require two people. Two people are almost omnipotent, responsible for serving tea, water, cleaning, and standing behind the counter to receive visitors. Occasionally, they are responsible for consulting, running errands and other things. However, a large inn means that there may be dozens or hundreds of people recruited, so the division of labor begins to be refined, some are dedicated to welcome guests, some are dedicated to consulting and running errands, some are dedicated to cleaning and handling, and some are dedicated to moving boxes for customers. In this way, it is more professional, an all-round person means that he is half-baked in everything, and his level is really limited, and one person is only responsible for one work, which not only improves efficiency and is also higher.

Such inns began to become popular.

Qin Shaoyou even wanted to stay in that inn for a few days when he returned to Luoyang.

In Hangu Pass, I was sometimes quite impatient. Qin Shaoyou now is quite like the nanny of the defenders in the pass. He sent the doctor to the spring. In summer, he would occasionally send some fruits and vegetables. Of course, good medicine for summer escape is definitely essential, because the pace of life in Guandong has accelerated, which leads to the fact that even in such weather, those who should work must work. In the hot summer weather, it is easy to have heatstroke. Once heatstroke is heatstroke, this job cannot be done. Because of this, some medicines for rehabilitation are gradually popular and are constantly improved. It is similar to Rendan in later generations. This is an essential item for almost every industry and every workshop, which is very popular. Therefore, many workshops are produced on a large scale, and the demand in the army is also extremely large, which is a must-have item for each battalion to practice.

These things are essential to be sent to Hangu Pass. Everything is reborn and familiar. If you are still hesitant at the beginning, or Wei Xuanzhen still has resistance, now, he has simply become dissatisfied. Although he knows that Qin Shaoyou is a weasel to wish the chicken a New Year, he has bribed everything that people should buy. If you refuse now, it will only cause more dissatisfaction. It would be better to just refuse others.

When autumn came, everything was in bleakness, Qin Shaoyou sent someone to send a batch of autumn clothes, and even later on, even cloth shoes were sent a batch.

The defenders in the pass were all amused and laughed. The battle was really inexplicable. The enemy troops under the city were clearly friendly troops. Some people even wondered if His Highness of the King of Wei wanted to enter Chang'an, should he immediately turn against each other, become a vanguard, and take all the people named Wei.

When winter comes, as usual, a large number of cold-proof objects are sent to Guanzhong.

At this time, an exciting news finally came. The main roads of some canals in the southern prefectures were finally opened. In nearly a year and a half, a lot of money was spent and hundreds of thousands of manpower was recruited. Now... the main canal has finally been completed.

This means that transporting hundreds or even thousands of kilograms of goods from Jingzhou to Luoyang only takes a boat or several boatmen, and it takes ten days and half a month.

This also means that communication has become more convenient from the northernmost Shuofang and even the most difficult Jingzhou. Luoyang's government orders can be spread throughout the states in just a few days.

What is more important is to completely integrate millions of people in the south into Kanto. From then on, there will be no difference between Kanto and the southern prefectures.

After hearing this news, Qin Shaoyou was almost overjoyed. It was obvious that he was waiting for this day.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The scale of Luoyang City has expanded so much, even twenty miles away from Luoyang Palace, it is crowded with people and many new streets have been built.

At this time, teams of warriors guarding a simple carriage and horse slowly heading towards the center of Luoyang.

The pedestrians along the street looked at each other. Although Luoyang is quite noble, there are people who can be escorted by the elite soldiers of the Shence Army, but I am afraid that they can count the number of people with one hand.

Qin Shaoyou was sitting in the carriage, and the boats and horses were exhausted all the way, which made him a little tired. After learning that the canal was connected, he immediately rushed to Luoyang with his people.

Everything is ready, but the east wind is not enough, and it is finally time to move your muscles and bones.

This time, Qin Shaoyou didn't tell too many people, so no one came to greet him. His current purpose was Shence Mansion, but the carriage got off the dock was quite fast, but the closer it was to the center of Luoyang, the slower it became. He was drowsy in the carriage. When he was woken up and lifted the curtain, he realized that it was already late.

It's really congested.

Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but shake his head. But for the time being, he couldn't think of a better way. There was no way. Although the Shence Mansion was constantly trying to find ways to clear it, the influx of people still increased sharply. Today, it eased a little, and more people increased again, and finally returned to the same state.

Some things have indeed become stubborn diseases, and it is not easy to solve them once and for all.

He got out of the car. Now the guards of Shence Mansion are no longer Shence Army. They have long been replaced by the guards in Luoyang. A metropolis like Luoyang has too many people and the pressure of public security is extremely high, so there are also many police officers recruited. The number of police officers has reached 9,000, which is a big number. Most of the personnel are recruited from retired personnel from Shence Army and the Fifth Army. Occasionally, some are hired externally, but not many. In addition to maintaining public order, these people are responsible for the protection of various yamen, and are also responsible for the responsibilities of prisons and some important figures.

When several policemen saw soldiers from the Shence Army coming in a carriage, they immediately knew that the person who came was a real big shot. You must know that even if it was Wang Ju, the head of the Wangfu, there were only sixteen policemen who took turns to follow him. However, this one used the Shence Army, and the number was as many as forty people, so they immediately straightened their backs and did not dare to neglect them.
