To be honest, I'm a little confused about the idea of these big families.

Although Crescent City now seems to be bustling, there are still a large number of merchants and ordinary people who are spending like carnivals in the city. However, for this era, most of the items traded by these people were various household items and some food that could be stored for a long time. In this way, although the number of transactions is staggering, the profit is not particularly large.

Moreover, the location of Crescent City is within the Tang Dynasty's 'River East Road', for this era, there is no canal and it is a city with inconvenient transportation! Although there are official roads around...... However, compared with other commercial cities in Datang, this is still an inconvenient place, and the only advantage is that the foreign caravans that enter Datang from the direction of the grassland, if they go to Chang'an City, they will still pass through Crescent City. But that's not a big advantage!

For this reason, these big families want to occupy a place in Crescent City to start a business, I really can't figure out why!

"Wait, are they interested in this railway? Or are these people already discovering the great promise of the railway? "I really couldn't figure out what these people were thinking, and suddenly realized that His Majesty the Emperor seemed to have gone to inspect the railroad around Crescent City. Then it occurred to me that this result.

If it is really the same as my whim, it was these people who decided to establish a commercial network in Crescent City after discovering the future advantages of the railway~ Then I really admire these people's unique vision, and even more shrewd than the officials in the entire court!

It's just that these are all my guesses, and I still don't say yes until I see those people. It's just that I thought about it again, and it seems that even if I promised the others, it would be nothing! Am I not ambitious to become the richest man in the Tang Dynasty? And my eyes are not on business and making money, now the profit from a commercial street is enough for my gold consumption~ So, why am I not generous, everyone has money to earn together! Anyway, I want to enjoy life, and now the only thing left is the development of technology. As long as the current tech tree is pushed to the age of electricity, then I can completely 'retire', and then return to my home with a large number of maids, and then live a happy little life!

"Ahem! It's a bit too far ahead......" I quickly shook my head and put unrealistic ideas behind me first. Now it's time to go to Your Majesty first!

I remember Xiao Li's stand-in telling me that His Majesty the Emperor was heading for the clearing, but I felt that it had been so long, maybe the Emperor had left the clearing, and then went to the railway. Unless I was wrong in my mind.

In order not to run the wrong way, I still went to the vacant land originally reserved for the light industrial park to take a look.

Because of the open space in Crescent City, the heavy industrial park was occupied by my various amusement rides and small booths of college students. Therefore, most of the small merchants and vendors who were originally scattered in Crescent City have also been transferred here. In addition, this vacant land was originally occupied by the people of the major caravans and the big chambers of commerce. So now when you get to this clearing, you will find that it is impossible to get through the carriage here, and when it is crowded by all kinds of vendors. Everywhere there are vendors setting up their stalls. Only a little more than a meter wide path was left here, and people just crowded through.

Although it was crowded and noisy, it was because almost all kinds of goods and commodities could be seen from here, and because the people of the surrounding towns and cities gathered for dozens of miles. That's why it's still very lively!

Fortunately, the soldiers of the original military here are helping to maintain order here, otherwise with the 100 people of the local yamen, it is estimated that they will not be able to take care of the order here!

Oh yes! There are also a large number of idle people here, who have also been seconded by the yamen to temporarily help maintain order and hygiene here......

I'm suddenly glad that I've already installed a convenient sewer system and a large number of public toilets in this new city, otherwise it would have caused more unspeakable trouble with so many people crowded into the city.

Now is not the time for me to feel the excitement here, I have to see if His Majesty the Emperor is here.

But there were so many people here, even if I found the tallest building in the surrounding area, and climbed onto the roof, I couldn't use my binoculars to find His Majesty the Emperor from such a large crowd, even if he had a large number of guards. I can't tell that those people are in the same group!

"Eh~ His Majesty the Emperor has gone here, if someone assassinates him, it will be troublesome!"

I muttered in my heart, but I heard that His Majesty the Emperor was also a military general, and with his skills, ordinary assassins really couldn't deal with him. Plus there are more guards to protect in secret. This kind of thing is definitely not going to happen.

"Alas~ it's nothing more than looking for a needle in a haystack! But I can't shout through a loudspeaker......" I muttered as I searched the crowd with my binoculars. Even though I stayed on the tallest building and watched the crowd below with my binoculars, I couldn't find any of them!

His Majesty the Emperor seems to be different from the swagger appearance of the girlfriend group and the two princesses, after all, he came to Weifu for a private visit! This directly increased the difficulty for me to see the figure. Even if we released the mandarin ducks and ducks to help, we didn't find them together.

Even after the duck got bored, he began to come up with the bad idea that he would summon a strong wind and blow everyone here away, so that he could find His Majesty the Emperor from the crowd...... Although this idea sounds very good, ~ if it is really implemented, it will be a crime of rebellion! With the power of the whirlwind of mandarin ducks and ducks. Then it's easy to roll all the people below into the sky. This is a big killer move! So I directly cut off the duck's idea, and I must not use this trick! Otherwise, I won't be able to say it at that time. In case someone is convicted of assassinating the emperor~ I still want to live a stable life in Datang.

I feel like I'm thinking too much about it, it seems that even if I use this skill to find someone~ No one should know that it's the duck's 'killer move'!

"Huh? Wrong! Master, you seem to be starting to think crankily again today, and your thoughts are going astray at every turn! You won't ~ be poisoned again! The duck suddenly noticed my state and said to me.

After listening to her words, I realized that there seems to be something wrong with my state today, and the number of times this thought has suddenly deviated has appeared several times! Could it be that I am really poisoned again? But the Divine Doctor is still in the academy, and I'm far away from there...... What can I do? Let's go to the academy to find a miracle doctor first! Or do you want to find His Majesty the Emperor first?

Although my physical condition seems to be more important, I still have a fluke mentality, and I feel that even if I am poisoned again, it should have just started symptoms. It took a long time before the last poisoning was completely attacked. I only have to pay attention to it now, and try not to let my thoughts go astray~ I should be able to deal with it for a while. Let's find Your Majesty first, and then determine the location of another industrial city! The men who served in the conscription have been under my command for many days, and I must build a new city before the period of conscription is over! Otherwise, the next time I want to recruit so many people for forced labor, it will be several years later. After all, the imperial court can't supply all these people to me for use alone! There is still a lot of work in the imperial court that needs manpower......

And ~ what if I'm not poisoned, it's just that I've been idle for too long, and my brain is a little open?

It is precisely because of this consideration that I think that I should postpone the matter of going back to the academy to find a miracle doctor, and build a real industrial city first. And I've got to hurry! I found that the imperial court seemed to have realized the speed with which I had built the city, and how comfortable it was to live in this new type of city, which was all made of steel and concrete. So I had to build the industrial city while the court didn't realize that I was being treated as a free laborer, and that they didn't pay much attention to this new city. Otherwise, these people will definitely issue an order to forcibly take away the city and turn it into a city with other functions every time they build a city! The White Jade City and the Crescent City are examples of the past. A city of pleasure that has been snatched away and used as a place for all the nobles. One that was taken away and turned into a playground and commercial city...... Although Crescent City is not officially inhabited yet, I estimate that it will not be long before it will be completely taken over by the imperial court. Especially after waiting for Yuan Fang's father, that is, the new local county magistrate, to report the recent tax amount to the imperial court, it will definitely cause a sensation in the court...... That's a lot of income! One day's commercial tax can catch up with the amount of tax revenue in other ordinary cities in a year.

When I saw the tax accounts in the yamen, I was stunned! This is still based on the minimum standard of tax proportion...... Those merchants and vendors even think that this tax amount is very low, and they are rushing to hand it over!

I'm actually thinking off the rails again. So the mandarin duck woke me up, and then we postponed these things for the time being, and now we can quickly find the trace of His Majesty the Emperor.

It's a pity that after another hour was wasted, we didn't find any trace of His Majesty in the crowd, but I found the trace of Yuan Fang, a girl who was leading the officials to start collecting today's commercial tax.

"Isn't that Yuan Fang? Perhaps, ask her to find out about His Majesty's traces! However, didn't this girl go to the carnival to play? Why are you busy with the work of the yamen again? ”

Out of curiosity, I let the mandarin duck float off the roof of the four-story building where we were, and after finding Yuanfang, I brought her over.

When I asked, I learned that the purpose of Yuan Fang's girl going to the playground was to experience those projects, and then set a tax standard for those amusement facilities...... By the way, let's also look at the issue of security. What a long way this girl has a brain! I always felt that she was different from everyone else.

It seems that he is just thinking about the affairs of the yamen and wants to be a famous catcher.

"What a career-minded person!"

However, this made me quickly learn from her that His Majesty the Emperor was in his current position.

Anyway, this girl is really amazing! After playing all the large facilities in the amusement park, I calculated the approximate profit of each facility per day, and then charged a day of business tax according to this. At the same time, when doing this, he can also use the one hundred and ten yamen distributed in the whole city to catch the accurate information from them, and then let the entire Crescent City know every move...... This girl not only told me the whereabouts of His Majesty the Emperor, but also told me other important news. For example, ten of the court bigwigs have already come to Crescent City in person. The goal should be to completely control every move of Crescent City, and the purpose is to move a large number of people to settle in this commercial city.

At the same time, a large number of officials from the six ministries also brought people here. Although they did not enter the city, they began to re-measure and divide the farmland of various villages outside the city......

It's just that after hearing the news, I became a little worried. The main reason I chose this place for the city was the scarcity of farmland around it and its proximity to open-pit coal mines. That's why I chose this place to build the industrial city of the future. However, if the weekly meeting is divided into farmland, not to mention that coal mining will cause a lot of pollution in the future, even the smelting factories in the industrial city will pollute the surrounding farmland!

If you just think of it as a commercial city, that's fine. If you farm around~ I'm afraid that it will cause anger and resentment at that time! After all, the pollution of farmland by smelters is an unsolvable problem.

"No, I have to hurry up and talk to Your Majesty about these things. Otherwise, if the farmland farmers are really relocated at that time, then I will really build an industrial city, which will be a 'sin'! I don't want to bring occupational diseases into Datang more than a thousand years in advance...... "I'm a little anxious.

Just as I was about to leave, Yuan Fang grabbed me again and told me about the 'secret stronghold' outside the city...... Anyway, I was stunned! This Yuan Fang won't be a 'perspective plug-in'! How did this girl know such a secret? That organization is an organizational sect that has been hidden for hundreds of years and specializes in cooperating with various imperial courts! Now a little catcher found out about them?

Not only that, Yuan Fang actually told me the internal secrets of this sect. Including their sect name, it's called the 'Shadow' faction! Anyway, no one has ever told me the name. Only now do I know their names.

In addition, Yuan Fang also told me the inside story of how they can bring an identical stand-in to the person they want to protect...... This must be considered a secret of their sect! This Yuan Fang's ability is too great? Got this all figured out?
