Before the return of the caravan in Konsale, the first caravan to arrive in Ningyuan City was the camel caravan of salt merchants from the small kingdom.

Kuzhanti is nearly 500 miles away from Ningyuan City, halfway from Xijian City to Samarkand City. Salt is produced near Kuzhanti, and it is an important salt production area for nearby Shiguo, Bahanna, Dongcao and other countries. Every year, the merchants here buy large quantities of salt and sell it to other countries, and this caravan is one of the great merchants of the Zhangant family, who monopolize the salt market in Pakhana.

"Great God of Good Mazda, your pious disciple is not mistaken, right? Last autumn it was just a small village! ”

After more than two months of construction, Ningyuan City has gradually taken shape. The imposing city wall stands on the bank of the Yeji River, and the busy city builders are standing on the stone wall that is more than two people tall, and they are constantly piling the stones that have been passed up on the top of the stone wall, and it seems that they do not know how high these four stone walls will be built.

"It's spectacular, at least 30,000 people are building it. Who has such power? Could it be that a good god has come down here? ”

Jangant kept muttering of the wonder in his heart. He had an expectation that he wanted to meet the owner of this big city as soon as possible. If nothing else, it is for his business opportunities. As early as halfway through, he had heard that his old patron had fled, and for this reason Jangant's heart was full of sorrow.

Entering Ningyuan City, Zhan Gant found that in Ningyuan City, it was also busy, and countless strong forces were in full swing on all kinds of fortifications.

Packhorse caravans were lined up to bring large quantities of gravel and timber into the city, and under the guidance of the craftsmen, according to the pre-planned plan, one house after another, almost uniform two-story specifications.

According to Lu Dajiang's design, the whole city is divided into four districts by two crossroads that run through the east and west and north and south, which are the southeast district, the southwest district, the northeast district and the northwest district. Among them, the southeast district is the main residential area, the southwest district is a wartime pastoral area, the northeast district is a large industrial and commercial area, also known as the north city, and the northwest district will establish the main military camp and large warehouses, as well as the workshop of the armed courtyard. The main road connecting the east and west is called Chang'an Avenue, and the main road connecting the north and south gates is called Luoyang Avenue.

The residential area is mainly concentrated in the southeast of Ningyuan City, there are a total of eight horizontal and eight vertical wide roads, criss-crossing the square, there are rows of wooden and stone structure houses, Lu Dajiang proudly called it "Fang", each square square can accommodate at least two or three thousand people, there are a total of fifty-eight such residential squares.

In the middle of the residential area will be a huge commercial market, integrating various functions such as shops, liquor stores and bazaars.

The General's Mansion is located in the northwest corner of the residential area, at the intersection of Chang'an Avenue and Luoyang Avenue. In addition to being the residence of the general and his family, there is also a council hall and a garrison for the general's cavalry. Several power organs of the Ministry of Light were also established next to the General's Mansion in turn, and the core power organs of Ningyuan City were concentrated in this corner.

Several vacant plots of land have also been reserved in the residential area for medical and school workshops. The medical workshop was set up according to Shi Yiwang's suggestion, close to the General's Mansion, and Shi Yiwang was responsible for the preparation.

In Li Huaitang's vision, Ningyuan City will be built into a meeting point between the East and the West of the world, a new silk city, attracting caravans from Eastern and Western countries to come here. Silk, tea and porcelain from the Tang Dynasty, various spices and gems from Tianzhu, war horses from Dashi, and cotton, fur, grapes and salt from nearby are all transported to countries around the world through here.

Since the rise of the Turgish, like the Great Cannibals, they have expropriated merchants from the East and the West, squeezing every drop of blood and sweat of the merchants, seriously hindering the trade between the Tang Dynasty and Western countries, and almost cutting off the Silk Road. Now, once Ningyuan City is completed, it will open up another mystery for the Silk Road.

The Northeast District, which exists for the Silk City, is divided into three areas, the northern area is the workshop area, which is mainly used for winemaking, spinning, leather processing and smoked meat processing. Nakata is the largest and is home to a large trading area, which will be a meeting point for caravans from all over the world. Minamikata is a place for business travelers from all over the world to live, and it is also a place where liquor shops are concentrated.

The cavalry was stationed in the southwest area, across Luoyang Avenue from the General's Mansion. In the southwest, a large artificial lake will be excavated, which will be planted with pasture and fenced, and the pasture can be used to store livestock and horses in wartime, and serve as a training ground for cavalry in peacetime, and a large area of the lake can not only provide fresh water for the military and civilians of the city, but also be used to raise fish, so as to alleviate the food shortage, especially in wartime.

In this area, along Luoyang Avenue, Li Huaitang also reserved dozens of vacant land, which would be used as the residence of the newly rising aristocratic wealthy merchants and generals, and this plan deeply stimulated many people, especially those generals.

In the northwest area, at the intersection of Luoyang Avenue and Chang'an Avenue, a huge military camp was to be built as a garrison for the armed cavalry. To the north and west of the barracks will be rows of large warehouses, mainly grain warehouses, smoked meat warehouses, and other warehouses for various war materials, and even the warehouses of Ningyuan City will be located here. All in all, this district will be a wealth concentration camp in Ningyuan City. At the same time, the cavalry will take on the heavy responsibility of guarding this important place.

For the sake of secrecy and security, the workshop of the Armed Forces Institute is next to the barracks of the armed cavalry, and all kinds of weapons and ordnance can be sent to the special warehouse for ordnance materials at any time.

As the only military martial law zone in the city, the Northwest District is allowed to enter and exit except for certain people and people with special orders, and the consequences of trespassing are very serious. Moreover, there are many checkpoints in the area, and if you want to enter a certain area, you must have a matching identity certificate or a specific token.

Within the living area of the nomads, caravans were welcomed wherever they went. The exception, of course, is the bandits, who will only welcome with their swords. In the center of the city, Zhan Gant finally met the "city lord" Li Huaitang.

"Fear of war? Salt merchants? Great, as long as it's a caravan, we'll treat it well. I, Li Huaitang, welcome you on behalf of the residents of the city. ”

Li Huaitang gave a hug salute, startling Zhan Gant, who had no time to react. Forced to eat the "ink" of the Western Regions for more than a year, Li Huaitang finally mastered most of the daily Li Te's words.

"Thank you to the great good God for your guidance. It is a great honor for me to know the lord of the city, and may the good gods always be by your side. ”

Zhan Gant bowed slightly and bowed to Li Huaitang.

Li Huaitang, who couldn't hug him, smiled awkwardly and said, "I wonder if Ning Yuancheng can be lucky enough to become Brother Zhan Gan's destination?" The good gods don't want you to just pass by. ”

Li Huaitang's Lite language was very lame, and it took Zhan Gant a lot of effort to figure out what he meant. Knowing that it was popular, Zhan Gante was overjoyed and said, "Don't hide it from the city lord, Zhan Gante's caravan has been going back and forth between the city of Fear and Bahan for many years. Last year, at the invitation of the tribal chieftain Ati, he crossed the city of Bahanna and came here with salt. I remember last year it was a pasture, and in a matter of months, a great city was born out of it. What a miracle I amok! ”

"Thanks to the kindness of the city lord, Jangant is willing to open a shop here to sell salt to your city."

The treacherous Jengant smelled a huge business opportunity. He hadn't forgotten the deal with Ati, but how could he, who was well versed in the way of observing words and feelings, not feel that Ati was bad? Since the young city lord in front of him can build such a huge city here unharmed, it means that this place has changed owners, and there are many such things on the grassland, and it is not strange that Jangant is used to it. The city is surrounded by abundant water and grass, which is a good place for grazing, and with such a strong castle protection, it can attract more people and merchants, where there are people, there are business opportunities, and the more people, the greater the business opportunities.

Li Huaitang said: "Haha, brother Tai is really discerning. I can assure you that this will be the wisest decision you have ever made. I hope that Brother Zhan Gant will make a lot of money, and I also hope that we will cooperate happily. ”

"Thank you for the generosity of the city lord. I don't know how much salt the castle lord needs every year? I'm good at making arrangements. ”

Jangant immediately cut to the chase.

Talking about the quantity directly without asking the price is obviously implying that the price is set by him, and at the worst, it must be the price negotiated with Aleti. Profiteers, sure enough, profiteers. Li Huaitang smiled secretly.

"Quantity is not a problem, how much you have, I buy as much as I want."

What a big breath! The experienced Zhangant was not frightened, he still kept smiling, and said unhurriedly: "This time, at the invitation of the Achitibu, my caravan has brought salt for a hundred camels, I don't know, is the city lord interested?" How much? ”

"Only a hundred camels? Okay, I've bought them all. ”

"Just? All, all? ”

"That's right!"

"I'm flattered by the sincerity of the city lord, but, this price?" A profiteer is a profiteer, and in the end he always shows the fox's tail.

Li Huaitang said: "It's okay, I'll negotiate the price with you according to Aleti." But don't bully me for not understanding the market, otherwise, in the long run, Brother Zhan Gante will suffer. In the future, even if you bring 10,000 camels of salt every year, I will cover it all. ”

What about making fun of me? Table salt for 10,000 camels? I dare to love and want to eat it as a meal! Well, let's just assume that he is blowing, but this also proves that he is a big customer. In fact, he didn't need 10,000 camels, even 1,000 would be enough for him to earn. Zhan Gante was overjoyed, and shouted in his heart that the gods favored him, not only did he not run in vain, but he also met the stupid lord of many people.

"Where is it, Zhan Gant will have to rely on the city lord a lot in the future!"

"Haha, polite, polite, each other, each other."
