Thanks to the blessing of the Qing Dynasty people directly packing up the materials and population of Liaoyang City last time, although the old city was also burned, it also allowed the Hongtang army to take over the city, and when the original owner was no longer present, the entire Liaoyang City fell into the hands of Hongtang.

Building a city is just a piece of cake for Hongmen, as long as the materials in the base camp can continue to be supplied, Shang Kexi is even confident that he will build a majestic city comparable to the Ming Jingshi.

Moreover, although the entire city of Liaoyang was burned clean by a fire of the Qing Dynasty, the main structure of the city was not much damaged, and the fire could not burn the city wall and female wall composed of solid stones, so in fact, the work they needed to do was far easier than building a new city, and the materials needed were much less.

Of course, with the fact that Hongmen was almost wiped out of stock, and the ongoing strike on Dayuan Island, there was a lot less support for the Liaodong side, so the construction work has not been completely completed until now.

And because there is no owner in the city, after the popular Hongtang army occupies Liaoyang City, it means that all the real estate and houses in such a huge city have become owned by the Hongtang army, and how to distribute it naturally becomes the power of the Hongtang army.

At other times, this Liaoyang City is at the forefront of the Qing Dynasty and the Red Envelope Tang Army, and ordinary businessmen are afraid that few of them will choose to come here to do business when they see this risk problem, not to mention that Liaoyang itself has no special products, so it cannot attract shrewd businessmen to come and invest.

However, when the Hongmen headquarters of Dayuan Island made a plan to build Liaodong into a heavy industry base, after the news was revealed, the land of Liaoyang City suddenly had investment value, which was enough to attract businessmen to come and step on it in advance.

It is impossible for merchants to intervene in the factory area under construction in Gongchangling Castle and Anshan, and with the understanding of Hongmen by merchants, Hongmen must be like in Bengang, and they and other factories will be tightly sealed up, so as not to leak their technology.

Even the various companies in Nanyang that now have shares cannot be placed in it.

So as shareholders with shares, how do businessmen know how much of the factory they put in and output, and how many goods they produce, that is also their due right.

Naturally, the Anshan plant will inevitably transport the output products to one place for handover, so that shareholders can understand the details, and Liaoyang City, as the nearest solid city, and the planned opening of the railway, has rightly become the most likely handover site.

Therefore, the merchants of the Nanyang Chamber of Commerce have been moving around Liaoyang City and Phoenix City since they heard about Hongmen's big moves, buying shops, warehouses and even houses, in order to seek a head start in the future of commerce.

"Subordinate Hu Ji came to report!"

A team suddenly came from Liaoyang City, and directly killed Shang Kexi's office.

"Very good, I have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time, and the next civil affairs will be handed over to you!"

Prior to this, Liaoyang City has been under the control of the Hongtang army, and a lot of work is carried out by the military department.

Although the Liaodong Theater nominally implemented the integration of military and political affairs, after all, the civil and military aspects were different professions, so in addition to the highest commander being the general of the Hongtang Military Department, the various strongholds were actually middle- and low-level administrative institutions, and there was not much gap between them and Dayuan Island.

"In the future, you will be the mayor of our Liaoyang Town, and I will hand over all matters related to people's livelihood to you."

"Yes!"

"One of your most important tasks next is to sell the land of these shops in the city, and at the same time, you have to plan the people in the residential areas to buy homes."

As soon as the new mayor took office, Shang Kexi began to weigh on him.

"The future salaries of our 30,000 brothers in the first division depend on you!"

Shang Kexi made a good calculation, taking advantage of the fact that it was now the number one military and political leader in Liaoyang, in order to seek some benefits for his first division and other brothers.

Of course, the military system of the Honghongtang army is extremely strict, and the logistics and operational command system are not the same line, but this does not prevent the officers and men of the first division from obtaining some military supplies by selling Liaoyang real estate.

After leaving Dayuan Island, he had seen the powerful power of the Great Qing Iron Cavalry, and Shang Kexi was full of joy and wanted to build a cavalry army in his army.

Anyway, now the situation in Liaodong is temporarily stable, and the generals who go out to fight on the island have much more power in their hands than when they were on the island, which is also a common practice on the battlefield.

Now Liaoyang is a combination of military and government, and as the highest governor of Liaoyang, he can raise a number of excellent war horses for their army through the civil affairs piece.

"By the way, tell those merchants that we will give priority to selling to merchants who can exchange fine war horses, and then consider those who can exchange food and other scarce materials, and finally consider buying directly with gold and silver."

Shang Kexi did not forget to add at the same time, which can be regarded as a reminder to the new mayor.

“……”

Hu Ji was stunned for a moment, and then after reacting, he responded: "Understood." ”

For Shang Kexi, Hu Ji also thinks that this is really Jiang is old spicy, and exchanging the plain land of Liaoyang City for all kinds of materials that Hongmen needs now saves Hongmen a lot of trouble, and also makes Liaoyang City's civil affairs and finances have income, but it is a plan to kill several birds with one stone.

But he didn't know that in fact, Shang Kexi's biggest intention was still those fine war horses in the hands of the merchants, even if the merchants did not have them for the time being, it would not prevent them from using various means to obtain them.

You must know that at this time, in addition to their Hongtang army, there are two groups in Liaodong that are hostile to each other and are still at war, the war between the Aixinjue Luo clan and the Yeheyi Tong tribe of the Qing Kingdom, until now it is autumn, and Duhai has not divided a result.

It is actually difficult to distinguish the result, because Hongmen is still strongly supporting the disadvantaged Yehe Yitong Department, and even the Joseon Dynasty, which is a neighbor of the Yitong Department, now sees the strength of the Qing Dynasty, which is divided into two parts, and is also secretly supporting the Yitong Department.

In the end, to the present, the Qing Aixinjue Luo clan and Yeheyi Tongbu have been stubbornly stuck in the vast land east of Benxi and west of Tonghua, and sometimes the Qing army has the upper hand and presses to the vicinity of Tonghua; Sometimes it was the Yitong Department that took advantage and reached the front of Benxi.
