Please say that we are willing to return to the new Liao Kingdom and obey the orders of the imperial court from now on! "In addition to paying money, Chang Santai is generous, and the horse in front of him is completely different from those who were officials in the past, and he looks very good.

"There is no need to submit to obedience at the moment, this is also the first condition I want to say, you are still two territories here, you are still two subjects, and it is only said that there are big businessmen who bought your village." Of course, a contract must be signed before doing business, and Zhou Nan began to put forward conditions one by one.

Chang Santai was stunned, although he didn't understand the intention of this colt for a while, but he didn't have any loss to himself, and hurriedly said: "How the colt commands, the little old man will obey the order!" ”

"Second, the imperial court will send someone over, Mingli will be the lord of the city here, and he will be the person from your Dagu Village, in charge of public security, taxation and other matters."

Chang Santai just nodded: "It should be like this!" Little old man should cooperate! ”

"Third-what is the relationship between Chang Hui Nan and Chang Hui North and Chang Lao Zhang?" Zhou Nan suddenly asked about Chang Huinan and the others.

Chang Santai thought that Zhou Nan was still going to condemn the two in the end, so he hurriedly left his seat and said to Zhou Nan again and again: "These two are the two sons of Xiao Lao'er, they are dull and ignorant, they have offended the horse, and I hope that the horse will forgive the sins!" ”

Zhou Nan thought to himself, this is normal, if you are so strong in the village, if you are someone else's son, it will not be your turn to teach and beg for mercy. "Third, the imperial court wants to choose people from your Dagu village as the township soldiers, and appoint two heads from the township soldiers to obey the orders of the city lord and maintain law and order." Chang Santai listened to Zhou Nan in confusion, and Zhou Nan said again: "If your two sons are willing to obey orders, it is appropriate to do everything." ”

Seeing that good things fell on him, Chang Santai only felt light, "Thank you for making it happen." Xiao Lao'er must be strictly controlled, so that these two sons of the ministry will obey the orders of the city lord! ”

After sending Zhou Nan away, Chang Huinan and Chang Huibei, who were hiding in the distance, returned home with Shi Shiran. When Chang Santai came back, he saw his two sons, but before he could speak, Chang Huinan stepped forward and said, "Daddy, the child is going to Xinliao to join the army!" ”

"In the army?" Chang Santai looked at his eldest son suspiciously, and then at his younger son, Chang Huibei said: "It's not that I saw flying cars and explosive arrows!" ”

"You two almost messed up something good today!" Speaking of flying cars and bombing arrows, Chang Santai thought of the trouble caused by his two sons today, and scolded: "From today on, cheer me up, if someone comes from the court of the new Liao Kingdom, I will immediately meet you with good gifts and welcome you in." ”

"Daddy, why are you so polite?" Chang Huibei asked puzzled.

"To tell you the truth, I will tell you two: the new Liao State horse wants to build a city and set up a border city here, and we don't need to pay for it, and the horse also said that if you two are obedient, you two will be appointed as the head of the capital to maintain law and order."

"Really?!" Chang Huibei said in surprise, "If there is a border market and there are more merchants, it will be lively here, and we don't have to fish and sell salt every day." If the child can be the head of the capital, it will be beautiful enough! ”

Seeing that his youngest son was in step with him, Chang Santai nodded with satisfaction, turned around and asked his eldest son Chang Huinan, "What about you?" ”

"The kid is going to join the army!" Chang Huinan still said stubbornly.

"From what army?! Give me a good life to stay at home! ”

Zhou Nan naturally couldn't hear the quarrel between the father and son, the two boats, one in front of the other, and the pro-army guards on the shore had already gone down the river and headed southwest. After drawing a nearly complete circular river channel around the area of the Sancha estuary, the North Canal finally joins with the South Canal in the south of the Sancha estuary, one east and one west, straight and converging, and then converges into a new river, and the river channel of the confluence of the North and South Canal flows to the south at a perpendicular angle, and after only five miles, the river bends to the southeast, the river surface widens, and the air is full of the wet and salty taste of the sea.

In fact, at the point where the North Canal bends sharply to the northeast, it is only a few miles away from the intersection of the South Canal and the North Canal after the circle. If it can be dug through, the ships passing north and south will not have to detour this long way.

Not only Zhou Nan saw this problem, but even Yu Shen saw it. However, the top priority now is to build a border city, and when there are more ships transported by water in the future, it will not be too late to do the project of cutting and straightening.

On this section of the river where the boundary river enters the sea, Zhou Nan's big ship is moving steadily. In the cabin, Zhou Nanzheng wrote a letter to Yu Liyan with a bamboo pen, telling him that he was going to build a city and open a border city in the area of the Sancha River estuary. He also talked in detail about his plan, that is, the imperial court only secretly managed and collected taxes, while Mingli was led by merchants and local people, and the local young and strong people formed village soldiers to maintain law and order to ensure the fairness and justice of transactions. In this way, it is a spontaneous buying and selling behavior between the common people and merchants, which will not cause criticism and control in the Great Song Dynasty. In normal times, these village soldiers are enough to maintain order, if they encounter tricky things, the upstream Flying Dragon Army and the Dragon Army Army are less than ten miles away from the mouth of the Sancha River, as long as the beacon smoke is lit, the cavalry will be there in an instant.

As for the money, grain, and materials needed to build the city, Zhou Nan also attached his own suggestion, that is, to raise funds from merchants to build the city. Of course, businessmen are heavy on profits, and there is no profit to make a profit, no matter how good the relationship is, no one will come up with money to give selflessly. Therefore, Zhou Nan's suggestion is that all businessmen who contribute capital can enjoy as low as commercial taxes in the next five years, depending on the amount of capital contributed.

The imperial court only needs to pay for the construction of the most basic supporting facilities such as the gate, wharf, freight yard, and tax office, and as for the service facilities such as inns, restaurants, and teahouses, of course, it will also give the opportunity to those merchants. As for the stores used for business, they can be more flexible, the imperial court can fund the construction of a part of the rent, or it can collect land tax and let the merchants build themselves.

"If it is really built as a border city, within two years, it will be a big city again." Yu Shen already knew Zhou Nan's thoughts as early as when Zhou Nan was writing the manuscript, and when he saw Zhou Nan finish writing the letter, he said to Zhou Nan, "The little one also has to write a letter to his family, and send it to his home with the convenience of his husband, and tell his father about it." ”

"The princess doesn't know about this yet, besides, if you want to tell the people, you have to go through your father's stay-behind mansion, and your father will naturally tell your father when the time comes." Zhou Nan carefully signed and sealed the letter, and smiled at Yu Shen a little anxious. In fact, Yu Shen can be so anxious to let his father know, which is also what Zhou Nan is happy to see, Yu Zhang is also a businessman, and he is a big businessman, if he can contribute money, of course, it is much better than relying only on the princess's Han Ji leather goods.

"Sir, if the whole city knows about this, it will be a step slower!" Yu Shen seemed to be very experienced and said, "If my father knew, he would definitely come here in person to plan the affairs of the store, make plans in advance, and prepare the money." If I follow my husband, but my father is one step slower than others, wouldn't it be a joke?! ”

At this time, Agoli came in and asked Zhou Nan: "King of the horses, you will reach Beitang Haikou sixty miles forward, do you want to return to the military village or continue to move forward?" ”

"Go to Lutai, and then to Le'an Pavilion." Zhou Nan said briefly.
