Chapter 151: Preparing to Transform the North City

"Is the Shanyue Army really that strong? When the battle of Liyang was fought, it was not seen bravely. Xiao He said.

Lu Bu smiled: "Father-in-law, the Shanyue army that fought with our army in Liyang is composed of large and small thieves in the Huainan and Danyang mountain ranges, with poor equipment and lack of training, and there is no commander. Relying on the iron-locked chariots of Xun You and Xiahou Dun, he thought that he was invincible in the world, but he was unexpectedly broken by the Qingyu Sword, and his morale was completely lost. How could he be able to defeat Yuan Ba and Xiang Yu? ”

"And Yan Baihu and Pan Lin's troops, entrenched in Wu County and Huiji for many years, have certain combat skills, and the soldiers are willing to obey the command and unite as one, of course, the strength is not weak."

"The lord is wise, and the Shanyue of Huiji and Wu County does regard military orders as a mountain, and does not discount them at all." Zhang Liao said in his heart that Lu Bu was powerful, and before he arrived at the battlefield, he had already guessed the approximate.

Lu Budao: "Now in Shouchun City, there are 40,000 Shanyue prisoners and 20,000 Yuan army prisoners. The daily consumption of food is huge, and the problem of their resettlement should be solved as soon as possible. I decided to use the old method, select the elite to be retained, and distribute the border land under it, build walls and roads. What do you think? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Luo Cheng were all very happy.

They knew that the elite, selected from the captives, would be distributed to them. The Shanyue army, which can fight well, is about to become their deployment, and I am very excited when I think of this.

"Everything is at the command of the Lord." Everyone bowed their hands.

"Okay, that's it." LΓΌ Bu immediately appointed Gao Shun as the temporary commander-in-chief of the new army, responsible for selecting and training new soldiers. Zhang Liao and Luo became deputy commanders-in-chief and were responsible for assisting Gao Shun.

At the end of the celebration feast, the generals left one after another.

Early the next morning.

Gao Shun, Luo Cheng, and Zhang Liao set out to select the elite.

Lu Bu devoted himself to the cause of manufacturing furniture.

Since Pan Jinlian's Lichun Courtyard was about to be renovated and needed a large amount of furniture, Lu Bu gave the craftsmen a death order that the set amount of furniture must be made by the end of May.

Time is tight, and the task is heavy.

The craftsmen took the money from the Assassin Mansion and were grateful to Lu Bu for his kindness, and they were very active in their work.

A piece of new furniture, constantly coming out.

Lu Bu took some back to the Shi Mansion and renovated the three courtyards in front of him. Let a lot of maids, attendants, and officials come to try it and feel it.

It turns out that the new style of furniture is not only beautiful in style, but also very comfortable and convenient to use.

Even Xiao He, who is a dime a dime, is willing to come up with money to support mass manufacturing.

Diao Chan is also full of praise.

Lu Bu did not hesitate any longer, and took Zhang Feng to the outer city, preparing to find a piece of land as a place to make furniture.

When Xiang Yu was rescued, Lu Bu remembered that in the east of the outer city, there were few buildings and streets, and there were many private houses, which were still dilapidated, affecting the city's appearance, and if that area could be renovated, it would definitely be conducive to the development of Shouchun.

But there is also a problem involved.

If you want to renovate that area, you have to buy all the houses of the people, which is not only costly, but also has the potential to have adverse effects.

Noon.

Lu Bu took Zhang Feng to the Beicheng residential area.

"It was here at the beginning, Yuan Ba killed nearly 100 generals of Yuan Shu. The frightened Yuan Shugui shrank into the barracks and did not dare to come out. Revisiting the old place, Lu Bu has his own feelings.

Zhang Feng was listening, and his back was cold.

He and Li Yuanba are both the commanders of the Dragon Guard, and the realm of martial arts is very different. Counting Li Yuanba's exploits, it is really humiliating.

"I didn't expect the Beicheng residential area to be so big." After arriving at the place, Lu Bu was startled by the scene in front of him. As far as the eye can see, there are all dilapidated houses, smoke filled, and people come and go.

"This should be the poorest and most unsightly place in Shouchun City, right?" Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Feng.

"Yes." As the deputy commander of the Dragon Guard, Zhang Feng often inspects everywhere and has a relatively good understanding of the terrain of Shouchun City.

"I must renovate this place, demolish the houses and turn them into an industrial area!"

"Does the lord mean to demolish all the houses?"

"Of course! Look at this tattered one, it looks like the building of our Shouchun City, and it must be demolished. ”

Lu Bu's answer made Zhang Feng a little shocked.

He originally thought that Lu Bu just wanted to divide a small area, house those carpenters, and build a few factories at most, but he didn't expect that there was such a big plan to transform the entire northern city. How much human, material and financial resources are needed for this?

I walked around the residential area...

Lu Bu took Zhang Feng back to the Thorn Mansion and drew a map of the 'New Taipei City'.

Why is it New Taipei City? Because after the transformation, Beicheng is not the current Beicheng, but a new Beicheng, reforming industry, leading industry, and creating a precedent for industry in the late Han Dynasty.

After drawing the map, Lu Bu took the map and sent it to Xiao He.

Xiao He looked stupid...

The map is full of various two-story buildings, factories and streets. It is a world of difference from the current Beicheng.

"What objections does my father-in-law have?"

Lu Bu knew that Xiao He would definitely oppose it, but no matter how Xiao He objected, he had to demolish the houses in Beicheng and reform the industry. Only by reforming industry can we become strong and prosperous, and this is a matter of principle, and we must not give in.

"It is indeed a good plan to transform the north city and develop industry." Unexpectedly, after Xiao He reacted, he smiled.

Hey?

Lu Bu took a look and felt that there was a play: "Father-in-law agreed?" ”

"Such a good thing, of course I agreed. But you must have a good budget, how much manpower, material and financial resources to invest, and how many years will it take to return to the cost after the renovation of Beicheng is completed, otherwise what will you do to renovate Beicheng? Just for the sake of good looks? ”

"Father-in-law has a point."

Lu Budao: "I am going to put the paper mill, the winery, the ceramic factory... are built in the north of the city, but also to plan out a few commercial streets, specializing in wholesale these things, I believe, good things are not afraid of no one to buy, our Shouchun is a business giant, the princes want to buy things, all get Shouchun. Let's make money from the dead! ”

This can be regarded as a big pie for Xiao He, and there is still a long way to go before it can be truly realized.

After hearing this, Xiao He was also very longing, and said with a smile: "Okay, how much money do you need, I'll give it!" ”

When he said this, he seemed to be gritting his teeth.

"No, no, no... Let's still follow the old rules, give me half of Shouchun's assets and store them in Ling Yin's Mansion, and when I want to use it, I will go to Ling Yin's Mansion to collect it. "Lu Bu really can't believe Xiao He, what if he finds that he uses too much money when he is halfway through the construction, so he doesn't give it away.

"Okay."

Xiao He smiled bitterly, but he didn't resist much, after all, he had done such a thing when he was in Picheng. Even if half of the money is used, it is also a very cost-effective thing to renovate Beicheng, and I believe that it will not take two years to return to the capital.

In the next few days, Ling Yin's Mansion sentenced Zhang Fan, liquidated the treasury with Xiao He, and deposited more than 140 million copper coins in Ling Yin's Mansion.
