Chapter 218: Ashina Ni (II)
Three miles of road, riding on a horse while walking and chatting, just a matter of a while, now the city wall of Quanzhou City has begun to take shape!
According to Cheng Hong's plan, the city wall is five zhang high. You must know that the city wall of Chang'an is nine feet and five feet high, symbolizing the respect of the ninety-five. And Quanzhou City should be a small city according to qualifications, and it will be completed in three zhang!
But Cheng Hong has installed the Governor's Mansion here, and this city wall should be five feet high! Li Ke lives here, and now the city wall of the king of Lingjun is six zhang high, and if it is the king of Shu, the city wall is seven zhang high!
However, the two walls were built by digging into the mountains, so these two sides are six and a half feet high! In order to match the two city walls, the city walls can only be unified with six and a half zhang, anyway, if you look at Li Ke, it is not overstepping.
And this place is close to Lingnan, if it is opened by sea, it can be regarded as the faΓ§ade or border of the Tang Dynasty! It's normal to get a little taller!
Now because the basic facilities of the inner city have been completed, the construction of the city wall is still very fast, and it has been nearly five zhang.
Although the five-zhang high city wall is not as shocking as the nine-zhang city of Chang'an, it is far away here, and I am used to seeing the small cities on both sides of the river, and it is still very shocking to see such a city!
Especially the people above are shouting that the trumpet is still rising! Ashina Ni only glanced at it, and decided: he must live here!
So he looked at Cheng Hong's eyes more and more eagerly: "Manager Cheng, this city is really majestic, but my people have been living in the wilderness enough, but they don't know how to build a city, I don't know if there are vacancies in this new city?"
When Cheng Hong heard it, hehe, I'm not afraid that you won't ask, I'm afraid that you will go to the wild! When the time comes, where will I arrange you in such a big place as Jiangnan Dongdao?
So he laughed: "Don't worry, although the outer wall of the entire city has been built, there are still many vacancies in it, but there are more people under construction, and now it is still flat!"
If the people of the Great Khan have enough tents to build a house, it is okay to live in it, and the house has two advantages, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is not afraid of rain, you must know that if it is the rainy season here, it will rain every day! β
"Then thank you to the process manager! I don't know where the third prince is? I'm going to pay a visit! β
Cheng Hong nodded: "The King of Shu should be preparing a banquet for the Great Khan in the City Lord's Mansion to wash the dust for the Khan!" When the time comes, I'll introduce a few more colleagues to the Great Khan!
After all, the Great Khan will live here in the future, and it is better to be familiar with those who look down and don't look up! Another point, after all, this is the Tang Dynasty, although the official can give face to the Great Khan, but the national law will not give the Great Khan face, and please ask the Great Khan to restrain his subordinates to abide by the national law! β
"That's nature, that's nature! It's just that my Ashina clan doesn't understand the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and I asked Chief Cheng to send an official to help my clan get familiar with it! β
While speaking, he had already come to the city gate, and Cheng Hong led with one hand: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Great Khan please! β
After arriving in the city, Ashina Ni saw the city under construction for the first time! Except for the street in front of you, which has been built, it's all empty! It's just that it looks like something is being built to the west!
Cheng Hong led Ashina Ni to the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the City Lord's Mansion like a small castle in front of him, Ashina Ni was hot for a while, this is simply a fortress!
Li Ke and the others were really waiting at the door at the door, Niu Jianhu nodded with Cheng Hong behind, Cheng Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and finally caught up!
It turned out that when Cheng Hong saw Ashina at the dock, he hurriedly sent Niu Jianhu back to tell Li Ke that he had a banquet! And there is only one task for everyone, which is to try to attract Ashina Ni and let him live in the city!
But looking at Ashina's muddy eyes, I'm afraid that there is no need to persuade him, he is already in the city! At this time, there must be more than 10,000 households of more than 40,000 people, plus more than 20,000 households from Shanyue, and tens of thousands of local households.
This entire Quanzhou city can be filled with two areas! When Cheng Hong repairs the city, there will be a notice of relocation, and everyone who wants to go to the city to beg for a living can move over!
At that time, it is estimated that there will be a number of people living in the city! In the future, when the maritime trade route is opened, those merchants will come here to do business, right?
The days are getting better and better, and the children are giving birth to more and more, so you also need a house, right? Therefore, this Quanzhou City is not big at all!
It's just that it's a little free now, if you don't talk about your Ashina mud in two or three years, it is the businessmen from within the Tang Dynasty who come to settle here, and it is estimated that they can't buy it without spending a lot of money!
What's more, Cheng Hong is not ready to sell the facades of the two cities, and it is the right way to only rent and not sell! When the time comes, the rent will be collected every month, and the merchants will not be exhausted here because of the off-season!
After a while of greetings, everyone entered the city lord's mansion, the banquet inside had already been set up, and the main dish was the grilled whole fish invented by Fang Yiai, this fish is not grass carp, river fish, but crocodile!
The crocodile's mouth is supported with a wooden stick, and after the skin is peeled and baked, the crocodile skin is washed and re-covered, and it looks like it is alive!
When you eat it, lift the skin, and the meat inside is just the right temperature! Since Fang Yiai invented this dish and scared Li Ke, this product is not tired! As long as you hunt a crocodile that looks like it every day, you will definitely roast one and give it to Li Ke!
Although this thing looks scary, it is really good to eat! In addition, this loser relied on the spices sent by Lingnan, and it was a bold thing to put it up!
It seems that Ashina is just right today! Otherwise, Cheng Hong still thinks that the general dishes do not match the identity of Ashina! This is good, a crocodile comes up, and this grade will come up immediately!
And the inside has all the face! Cheng Hong appreciatively glanced at Fang Yiai, but I didn't expect this product to really be able to do something serious!
Fang Yiai opened her mouth and smiled, looking at the lip shape and saying: It's just right!
It's not just right! Not to mention that Fang Yiai's last life must have been kicked down by the goddess of luck! This product is better when it is crooked than when he is fully prepared!
On this luck, Cheng Hong made a decision: when you go to sea, you must bring your bereavement, this product is purely a pendant with luck plus ten! With him, there is absolutely no need to pray to the gods!
After a meal, Ashina Ni was familiar with everyone a lot, and when Hou Jie was introduced, Ashina Ni was shocked! After all, the Western Turks were exterminated with at least eight points of credit!
Cheng Hong looked at it, okay, it's you, and the recruitment of the Western Turks in the future will all be under Hou Jie's control. I don't think any of you would dare to say a word?
No matter what reputation Hou Junji father and son, in the countries of the Western Regions and the Western Turks, they all stop children crying at night, and they are afraid of being killed!
Ashina was polite for a while, and then mentioned the matter of staying in the city, Cheng Hong said: "It's simple, now except for the dry area, all the areas are empty, but these two cities are to be set aside!"
Why don't the people of the Great Khan live in the Dui district! It is next to the dry area! Next to the Kun District is the West Market, what do you think? β
Ashina said: "Everything is arranged by Chief Cheng Cheng, but my clan can't sit and eat empty, and ask Chief Cheng to show us the way!"
Cheng Hong said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." If the Great Khan wants to support themselves, it's easy! As long as you abide by the law, a lot of work will be given to you!
For example, at the moment, it takes a lot of labor to build a city, and if the Great Khan is interested, he can let the young people organize to help build the city, and get paid according to their work, and never be in arrears!
There was a period of time when the sugar factory, canned food, and factory would be open, and as long as it could move, even if it burned a fire and peeled a skin, it would definitely be able to earn a bite to eat! Absolutely not hungry!
Since the Great Khan's people live in the city, they are temporarily regarded as the people under the rule of the Governor, and the officials are absolutely equal in terms of salary and attitude.
But of course, the relative people of the Great Khan must abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and since they enjoy the benefits under the rule of their own officials, the relative taxes must also be paid!
Of course, this tax is the same as that of the people of Datang, and it will definitely not be overcharged! What did the Great Khan think? β
Ashina Ni was overjoyed, as for paying taxes, Ashina Ni didn't say anything, after all, you occupied other people's places, what's the matter? Protected from paying taxes? How can there be such a beautiful thing? That's pretty much it!
Both sides thought they had earned it!
