Chapter 40: Layout

The current Liangzhou City and Lou Zheng have undergone earth-shaking changes when they first arrived.

First of all, there were the strong Tuhun captives who were busy on the city walls, and secondly, the people who came in and out to talk and laugh, some of them drove ox carts, some carried burdens, and some carried bamboo baskets and pulled children, all with happy looks.

Five miles north of the city, it gradually developed into a medium-sized bazaar, where barbarians could be seen everywhere driving cattle, sheep and horses to exchange, and it was now the largest cattle trading market.

The market is opened on time every day, and a team of men and horses is sent by the border army camp every day to maintain order.

Lou Zheng, accompanied by Lu Hongxiu, Yu Jiu, Zhang Gouzi, and Lu Qiao, came here to inspect.

Now this trade market open to barbarians is called Liangzhou North Market, and after so many days of trading, and with the addition of local people, it has become more and more prosperous. Barbarians are not stupid, and now they all know that a jar of pickles is not worth anything to the people of the Dawu Dynasty, so now a jar of pickles can no longer be exchanged for a cow.

A good coarse cloth may be exchanged for a fat sheep, which is also the inevitable result of market development.

But even so, the people of the Dawu Dynasty still earned it.

Lou Zheng looked at the prosperous scene of Beishi, and his eyes were full of prospects for the future here.

Even General Lou didn't know that Lou Zheng privately drew a map of Liangzhou's urban construction, which included the entire northern city, and the current Liangzhou City was just an inner city.

Although the North City is lively, it is mixed with barbarians, residents of the Dawu Dynasty, and even some Tuhun captives. The long bazaar is a mixed bag.

Lou Zheng covered half of his face with a black cloth towel, turned the horse's head, gently beat the horse, and said to Lu Hongxiu beside him: "Senior brother, let's go back." ”

Lu Hongxiu looked up at the vast grassland, nodded, and just as the group was about to leave, a personal soldier rushed over.

Zhang Gouzi found out that it was his subordinate and hurriedly greeted him.

After a short time, Zhang Gouzi rode back to Lou Zheng's side. "Little lady. Someone from Beijing has arrived. ”

Half of Lou Zheng's face was covered by a veil, and when she bent the corners of her mouth, others couldn't see it at all, and they could only find that the tails of her eyes were slightly upturned. It seems to exude a sense of pleasure.

"Back to the city!" is obviously soft and sweet, but there is a coldness in it. There is a paradoxical beauty.

The horse's hooves sped on the soft meadows. The warm breeze is warm, and this feeling of running wild on the grassland can never be felt anywhere else.

A few people quickly rushed back to the Marshal's Mansion.

Steward Wu was waiting for Lou Zheng at the gate at this time, and heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. hurriedly went down the steps at the door, personally pulled the reins of the horse and helped Lou Zheng off the horse.

"Uncle Wu, what about the people from Beijing? Can you go to the house? ”

Steward Wu knew that the little lady hurried back, it must be for this matter, he took the horse whip in Lou Zheng's hand, "Little lady, it is Commander Liu of Zuo Wuwei and Lord Langqiu of the military department, and there are two other people who have no official position, and the old slave doesn't know who it is, so this will have to wait for the general to come back and ask the general." News came from the barracks, and these people rushed directly to the border army barracks when they entered the city. ”

The corners of Lou Zheng's mouth curled, sure enough!

She had long expected that as long as her father won the battle, Liangzhou would not be peaceful, but she didn't expect that this high-ranking Taikang Emperor was too anxious, and even the commander of Zuo Wuwei was sent.

Their purpose is probably not to reward the border army or appease and reward the border army generals, I am afraid they want to replace them!

What this group of high-ranking officials and ministers are best at is to compete for merit!

Lou Zheng's pace was very fast, and after a short time, several people arrived at the study.

After Lu Qiao served tea to Lou Zheng, Lu Hongxiu and Steward Wu, he retired with Yu Jiu, Zhang Gouzi and others.

Steward Wu took a sip of tea and asked, "Little lady, what are we going to do now?" ”

Lou Zheng thought for a while, "Uncle Wu, you instruct to go down, the garment workshop in the house will only make ordinary military clothes and boots from today onwards, and other soft armor and leather bags should be stopped first, and the raw materials will be put into the warehouse first." Workshops elsewhere are producing as usual, but we will temporarily store the goods and ship them to Tianjing Port after a while. The North City side also stopped for a few days, and sent someone to explain it to those barbarians. ”

Lou Zheng said while writing down what Lou Zheng said, but when Lou Zheng finished arranging the general things, Steward Wu didn't hear Lou Zheng mention the matter of Liulifang, that is the real big part of their money!

Now in the Dawu Dynasty, an ordinary glass product can be sold for thousands of pieces!

You know, the best piece of mutton fat jade is also this price.

"Alright, that's all for now."

Steward Wu opened his mouth, and finally couldn't help but remind: "Little lady, that Liulifang ......"

Lou Zheng then understood the reason why Steward Wu frowned, she bent her lips and smiled, "Uncle Wu, you don't have to worry, I have another arrangement in Liulifang, but I haven't forgotten." ”

Hearing Lou Zheng say this, Steward Wu was relieved, and he hurriedly went out to arrange it with the rice paper he had memorized.

Lu Hongxiu, who had been sitting on the chair and drinking tea on the other side, laughed, his face was condensed on weekdays, although he was handsome and extraordinary, but he didn't look like a good approach, but when he smiled, it was like breaking the ice, revealing an indescribable sparseness, and Lou Zheng was stunned, and his mind unconsciously flashed the sword cultivation senior brother Lu Hongxiu who stood on the top of Houzai Peak.

"Senior sister wants to tie these people with glass, I'm afraid it's more than that, is there still Emperor Taikang?"

Lu Hongxiu's voice was low, with a low magnetism, which was very good.

The current Lu Hongxiu and Lu Hongxiu in the Xiuzhen world, whether they have a voice or appearance, are exactly the same, even Lou Zheng can't tell the difference.

But from the words, Lou Zheng can be sure that Lu Hongxiu today definitely has nothing to do with Lu Hongxiu in the Xiuzhen world, because her former senior brother would not say such things in front of her.

He never guesses his own thoughts, he will only stand silently behind her and do everything that is good for her.

The current senior brother is also very wise, he deduced her purpose just from some of her arrangements, he is a talented man.

But after all, he will no longer be the Lu Hongxiu with a long sword on his back and standing proudly on the peak.

Lou Zheng hurriedly put away his chaotic thoughts and replied, "Senior brother thinks that junior sister may succeed in doing this?" ”

Lu Hong's slender fingers put down the teacup, which was clearly filled with warm water like Lou Zheng's, and he moved leisurely, as if he was tasting the best spring tea.

"Eighty percent, there are really few people in the world who can resist such temptation." When Lu Hongxiu said this, his eyes were misty, as if he was also reminiscing about something.
