Blackstone Col.

Jiang Ge looked at the huge construction site in full swing and wondered in his heart, when the sound of horses' hooves sounded from not far away.

Jiang Ge looked for prestige, and a pair of guards surrounded Wu Yan and dismounted outside the construction site and walked quickly.

"Why did Brother Wu get here?"

Seeing Wu Yan's eager look, Jiang Ge said with concern: "In a hurry, is there an enemy?" ”

Wu Yan came to Jiang Ge's side and straightened his clothes and said, "General rest assured, everything is fine, there is no hostile situation." ”

Seeing the question on Jiang Ge's face, Wu Yan stretched his brows and said: "The subordinates should have been guarding Qingfeng Town, but recently, there have been countless nobles in the Political Affairs Department looking for their subordinates to drink tea and drink every day, and they are really in no mood to deal with them, so they can only come over to avoid the limelight, and by the way, listen to the general's meaning, I have a good bottom in my heart, what will happen to this Nanxun City in the future?" ”

Jiang Ge laughed when he heard this, and said, "That's the case, don't worry, don't worry, just stay a few more days when you come over, and help me supervise for a few days." ”

"Don't talk about overseers, let your subordinates work with their shirts exposed. Don't you know, those wealthy businessmen and nobles are so tight. ”

"Alright, let's go to the temporary command post first."

Jiang Ge led Wu Yan towards a makeshift camp not far away.

After entering the big tent, Jiang Ge and Wu Yan sat down separately, and the free guards made tea and brought it up.

Wu Yan asked while blowing tea: "It has been nearly two months since the departure of the army, and the movement of hiring people before was too big, causing a storm in Huofeng City and other places. said that the Shence Army took Nanxun City, will it be the second Qingfeng City, and what the relevant policies will be, there are no less than 100 versions. The subordinates were not sure, they didn't know how the general made the plan, and they didn't know what to say in the face of those people, so they could only go to the general to solve their doubts. ”

Jiang Ge knows that Wu Yan is difficult at present, it is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, Nanxun holds such a large piece of cake in his hand, everyone wants to share a piece, which is also what Jiang Ge had expected before.

As the second city to occupy north of the Great Wall, there is a successful case of Qingfeng City in front, even if the Cangshan City next to it is still confronting, there is still a huge risk, but the temptation of Nanxun is too great.

Jiang Ge drank two sips of tea and instructed the guards to open a planning map of the Nanxun Plain, motioned for Wu Yan to take a look, and said after a while: "The plan has actually been done, and you have also seen it, the entire Nanxun Plain will be the place where the Shence Army will really develop." After all, the Qingfeng Basin is too small, and it can only accommodate so many people at most. But Nanxun is different, there is only one city in the huge Nanxun Plain. The area is five times that of the Qingfeng Basin, and the terrain is not blocked by mountains and rivers except for the east, and the Nanxun Pass in the north is also extremely safe to hold. ”

Wu Yan looked at the map several times, and sighed: "General, this is going to build a million-dollar city?" ”

Jiang Ge nodded and said: "After measurement, the distance between the North River and the South River is one hundred miles, and although the existing Nanxun City is larger than Qingfeng City, it is still small. According to my idea, in the future, Nanxun City will be used as an inner city, and an outer city will be added to Nanxun City. Form the Nanxun city of 50 miles in the north and south, the main street is three vertical and three horizontal, the current Nanxun city is in the middle, it is the commercial and political center, and two major military camps are set up in the east and north of the Nanxun Plain. In the northeast, that is, in the lower reaches of the Beihe River, an equipment department was set up to supervise the manufacture of weapons and equipment. ”

Wu Yan touched his beard and exclaimed: "In this way, it can not only accommodate 100,000 soldiers, the general is thoughtful." ”

Jiang Ge continued: "In the planned breeding area and farming area, a small market town will be built to facilitate the many civilians who defected to Nanxun to settle down. ”

Wu Yan was curious: "General, is this going to treat civilians differently from people with good family backgrounds?" ”

Jiang Ge hummed and said: "These civilians live in the south of the Great Wall, they are already poor, and they have no arable land, and most of them can only work in the manors of the rich, although there is not much oppression, but life is not easy. Therefore, I will concentrate this part of the people, the policy will remain unchanged, rent-free for ten years, tax exemption for three years. ”

Wu Yan was born as an ordinary civilian, and he knew that the life of civilians in various places south of the Great Wall was not easy, and the general in front of him was able to put the survival of civilians first, Wu Yan was very grateful in his heart, although he was living a good life with the general now, he could not forget his roots.

Wu Yan said: "The general's compassion for the people is evident in the sky, and Wu Yan, the old general, is driven." ”

Jiang Ge smiled slightly and said: "It's more for you to worry about, it's the right thing to start expanding your political affairs department first, and you have to recruit officials who are proficient in various civil affairs." Qingfeng City is only so big, according to the army's set, it can be, but Nanxun City can't. ”

Wu Yan promised, he had already planned, and he would quickly choose a trial when he went back in his heart.

Jiang Ge continued: "The southern side of the Nanxun Plain is mainly divided into civilians, and the expanded Nanxun City will be given to those with better conditions, large and small families, large and small merchants, etc. The conditions are also simple, apply according to the requirements of the plan, and build it yourself according to the requirements, compared with Qingfeng City, there is only one more requirement, pay a deposit. ”

Wu Yan was curious: "Margin? ”

Jiang Ge smiled evilly: "The policy period is reduced to one year of tax exemption, five years of rent free, five years can be bought out, and you can continue to renew the lease and pay the rent regularly." The deposit will be refunded after five years, which is equivalent to us using it for free for five years, and then repaying them after five years, without interest. Even if it is the embodiment of ability, it can also restrain them. ”

Wu Yan said: "Then how is this margin calculated?" ”

Jiang Ge continued to laugh evilly: "For this, you have to take someone from the Political Affairs Department to calculate the area and collection standard." Didn't you think so when Breeze City first started? ”

Wu Yan's old eyes turned around and then said with a wicked smile: "My subordinates understand, according to the previous plan, ten dollars per square, but that is in Qingfeng City." Now

Nanxun City, let's score a three, six, nine and so on. The best location is the most expensive. ”

Jiang Ge laughed and said: "I don't think you need to stay here anymore, take the map and go back to calculate, if there is any modification, just report it to me, you don't have to run it yourself." On the side of Qingfeng City, you choose a capable general to guard it, and leave a person in charge of political affairs, so you can go to Nanxun City to work in the town. ”

Wu Yan got up to receive the order, and after taking down the map, he said goodbye and rushed back to Qingfeng City, he was old, and he was about to fight on the battlefield, and he was not as good as the group of young descendants around Jiang Ge, but in terms of political affairs, Wu Yan became more and more handy, and his sense of achievement was no less than victory on the battlefield, but he could do things for more ordinary people more steadily.

Jiang Ge didn't keep it, they were all born in the military, and it was good to be vigorous and resolute.

After sending Wu Yan away, Jiang Ge began to wonder again.

When I think of Cangshan City, I feel that it is very wonderful, in the real world, can he take so many people to build the Great Wall next to him?

Even if it is accommodated, it is long overdue for you to come and kill each other.

How could it be as amiable as now, hundreds of thousands of people played their own games, and they didn't even pat the scouts to observe, and it was really incomprehensible to completely let Jiang Ge's behavior go.

But there is nothing to worry about, the strength of the two sides is comparable, and Jiang Ge also got a reply from Ha Lou, the old man of the Ha family, who wrote simply and clearly: "You repair yours, don't mix with Cangshan." ”

I can't figure it out, Jiang Ge is too lazy to cause trouble, the construction of the Great Wall of two hundred miles from north to south has a lot to do.

......

Time flies.

In a flash, it was October, the first few months of the Great Wall was still a huge construction site, originally only 200,000 people participated in the construction, and then Wu Yan sent 150,000 people, and in the case of extremely abundant manpower, five months to build a 200-mile Great Wall on the north and south lines of Heishi Pass.

One hundred miles on the north line, one hundred miles on the south line, a huge pass was built in the center of the Black Stone Pass, Jiang Ge called the Black Stone Pass, and the whole Great Wall was called the Black Stone Great Wall.

Jiang Ge stood on the tall wall of Heishiguan and looked in the direction of Cangshan City, although he couldn't see anything, except for the endless plain. But everyone knows that the strength of the confrontation between the north and south of Cangshan City has risen to 300,000.

Just like the enemy and the enemy are like angry children, they don't fight, but they just say that mine is more than you, and the other is not convinced that mine is more than you.

Jiang Ge was a little incomprehensible, I heard that the Qin family army on the Western Front was also like this. As long as he thought about it, Jiang Ge felt a little uncomfortable, uncomfortable dragging mud and water.

Fortunately, the construction of the Great Wall of Blackstone is very smooth, so far the north and south Great Wall are all linked together, ten zhang high, five zhang wide. The stones east of the Blackstone Line are almost gone, so if you walk on the Great Wall, you will find that there is literally nothing left to the east.

The construction of the entire Great Wall has basically reached the final stage, and there are still some places where the inner side has not been perfected to continue to improve, the construction of several forts, the construction of wide gallop roads, and so on.

Hundreds of thousands of people also returned to the Nanxun Plain after the completion of their assigned stage projects, each chose one of the two market towns, and then took the assigned number plates and documents and rushed over happily, everyone wanted to see their own fields and places where they could build houses as soon as possible.

Wu Yan had already been in Nanxun City with two hundred people from the political affairs department.

According to the plan, the upper reaches of the Nanhe River are farming areas, with Shangnan Town, and the lower reaches of the Nanhe River are breeding areas, with Xianan Town. Each town can accommodate 300,000 people.

Now half of the civilians in Shangnanzhen have moved in one after another, and there are still about 100,000 civilians on the side of the Blackstone Great Wall, and there are countless civilians who have come from various places in the south of the Great Wall.

The construction of Nanxun City has long been gradually started, and the first to open is the current Nanxun City, which is also the future inner city.

According to the planning of the inner city, Wu Yan cleaned up all the ruins in Nanxun City, and built a general's palace in the center of the city that was three zhang higher than the city wall, like a small city.

The four city gates in the north and south to the general's palace are straight and wide streets, and the four residential streets are ten zhang wide and ten miles long, and they are all paved with stone slabs. On both sides of the five-storey buildings that are not higher than the city wall, there are countless restaurants, inns, and teahouses, and the merchants of the major wealthy merchants have also taken the whole building with arrogance, and there are many green buildings standing next to the canal.

The canal that runs through the north and south is divided into two main canals and a number of sub-canals by the inner city, the main canal runs from north to south, passes through the north city wall and the south city area, runs straight through the north and south, and the middle is the north and south streets, forming a pattern of two canals and one street, and a number of branches flow through the residential areas in the southeast and northwest in an orderly manner.

After Wu Yan issued an announcement three months ago, the threshold of the Provisional Political Affairs Department was broken, and there was a queue of several miles overnight, and the top eight were undoubtedly people from the eight families, which was understandable. It's just that the ranking after these eight people is intriguing. If you look at it from someone who is familiar with the major forces, except for the eight major families, everyone else is lined up according to seniority, and only after a hundred people will there be a competition for position.

Under the leadership of the veteran Wu Yan, the efficiency of the political affairs department was extremely fast, one by one, one by one, one by one, one by one, and stacks of documents were organized, and after receiving a bag of gold coins, a number plate was issued to the person who came to be selected.

The people who got the number plate map and documents quickly went back, and the next day, the whole Nanxun City moved, sufficient manpower, and the best building materials had already been prepared, all rushed to the first completion and opening, and fired the first shot in this Nanxun City.

For three months day and night, the basic construction of the four main streets in the north and south was completed, and the follow-up renovation was being done, and the houses in many residential areas were also built.

Subsequently, the Department of Political Affairs successively opened three planning applications for the outer city, but they were all sold out.

Wu Yan's happiest thing every day is to supervise the construction of the General's Mansion and inspect the warehouse, the gold coins in the warehouse in Qingfeng City have been decreasing rapidly like flowing water during this time, and a small mountain has consumed more than half of it in this half a year, which is uncomfortable to watch.

In the temporary warehouse on the side of Nanxun City, the gold coins are increasing day by day, and they are gradually piled up into a small mountain.

.....

Until mid-December.

The entire length of the Blackstone Great Wall was completed, with 30,000 soldiers stationed and 20,000 auxiliaries guarded by the three Chang Feilong brothers.

Jiang Ge took Jiang Yibai and the others back to the newly renovated Nanxuncheng General's Mansion.

The city within the city has a moat, a tall city wall, a radius of ten miles, a school field, a barracks, a warehouse, a special residential area, and a small courtyard with black bricks and white tiles. Jiang Ge lives in the best location, with the largest courtyard, three mansions, and the others are two courtyards.

A huge conference hall is Jiang Ge's office space.

Outside the chamber, on the left and right are the offices of other departments.

There are political affairs divisions, city patrol divisions, soldiers and horses divisions, civil divisions, and commercial divisions.

Wu Yan is in charge of the Department of Political Affairs, the head of the five divisions, and all government decrees are issued and summarized from the official department. The role of connecting the previous and the next.

The City Patrol Department is responsible for public security management and urban defense, and Li Ji is the commander-in-chief.

The Terracotta Division is responsible for all matters in the army, and Jiang Yibai is the commander-in-chief.

The Civil Division is responsible for all matters related to people's livelihood and is headed by the newly promoted Liu Liren.

The Commercial Department is responsible for all economic matters and is headed by the newly promoted Chiang Chung Wei.

Everything is in order, Nanxun City is a newborn seedling, after the spring rain, quickly broke the ground, the original loess into a green field.

Today is Jiang Ge's first regular political meeting when he returns to Nanxun City.

The consuls-in-chief, the big and small chiefs, all sat down in the council chamber.

Jiang Ge sat on the main seat and glanced at the scene in the hall, Jiang Ge was extremely emotional in his heart.

The once small team is now about 50 officials and generals in the stage, with nearly 100,000 troops in the barracks and nearly a million people under the control. Even in the real world, Jiang Ge couldn't imagine it.

Wu Yan, who was the commander-in-chief of the Shence Army, took the lead in getting up and clasping his fists and said: "General, it's the end of the year again, and today is also the first regular meeting of the Shence Army in Nanxun City. All the adults and generals in the room took a look at each other to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future. In addition, even if you meet and talk to the generals, forget it, but you have always been thinking. There is no need to report specific political affairs today, and they drink tea and chat freely. ”

Jiang Ge said with an easy-going face: "You are all the pillars of the Shence Army, you have to meet one by one in the future, and many things are also handled by General Leader Wu, the Great Wall of Black Stone is the basic premise of Nanxun's stability, and there can be no mistakes, so this will always be in Black Stone Pass." When you meet today, you can chat casually and get acquainted with each other to facilitate future work. Especially the old man who has been following me is different from the past, ruling millions of people and nearly 100,000 soldiers, and everything must be well-organized and organized. Everyone is in charge of different things, and there will always be a place for cross-collaboration in the future, and more closeness can do things better. ”

As soon as Jiang Ge finished speaking, dozens of people in the audience began to introduce and chat with each other. Jiang Ge no longer sat on the main seat, but walked into the hall with Wu Yan Jianhong and talked to everyone.

The parents are short, and the legends and rumors are also let go, and they are very interested in not talking about political affairs, and they are happy and peaceful for a while.

About two hours later, everyone had a basic understanding of each other, and they all knew each other, and they also got a lot of confirmation from legends and rumors here Jiang Ge, seeing Jiang Ge return to the main seat, Wu Yan made a gesture to end after everyone left the meeting hall after saying goodbye.

After finally quieting down, Jiang Ge rubbed his forehead a little tiredly, and suddenly a pair of tender little hands blindfolded Jiang Ge's eyes, and the tiredness just now was swept away, Jiang Ge grabbed the little hand and pulled it to look at the red leaves that had grown taller and said, "Why did you run here?" Not practicing? ”

"It's time to finish eating, brother, won't you be busy and faint? The autumn leaves will be rubbed for you. ”

After Hongye finished speaking, he turned to Jiang Ge's back and gently rubbed his left and right hands on Jiang Ge's temples, Jiang Ge closed his eyes slightly, enjoying the soft and refreshing feeling from his temples.

Wu Yan didn't speak when he saw the sensible red leaves, and drank tea by himself, thinking about things in his heart.

After a while, Jiang Ge, who was much more relieved, told Hongye to prepare dinner and leave Wu Yan to eat together.

Wu Yan didn't refuse, but he was muttering about things.

Jiang Ge looked at Wu Yan muttering to himself, and asked curiously, "What are you muttering?" Let's talk about it. ”

Wu Yan looked at Jiang Ge and said slowly, "The subordinates haven't thought about it yet. ”

Jiang Ge stood up and looked at Wu Yan and said, "Then let's talk about it after you think about it, I have done a lot of political affairs, and I have begun to learn the twists and turns." ”

After speaking, Jiang Ge got up and walked towards the tall city tower.

According to Wu Yan's requirements, the tallest city tower is higher than the city wall, and standing on the city tower can overlook the entire Nanxun City in all directions.

After waiting for the city tower, Jiang Ge looked at the huge Nanxun City, although there are still many places under construction, but it is also beginning to take shape, and it looks exciting and exciting.

Wu Yan stood silently behind Jiang Ge, also looking at this brand-new city, his heart surging.

It is unimaginable that all this was brought by one person.

Wu Yan looked at the young man in front of him, full of gratitude.
