Jiang Chuan understood the situation, and he couldn't laugh or cry, it seems that the last big execution left a big shadow in everyone's hearts. I happened to encounter this incident today, so I would like to take this opportunity to clear up some misunderstandings.

Jiang Chuan looked at it, and there happened to be a big square stone next to him, so he jumped on the stone and said loudly to the people below:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all the people of Benhou, and Benhou said that he would protect you, so he will definitely protect you and keep you safe for the rest of your life. Ben Hou said before that as long as you abide by the law, you will definitely be protected by Ben Hou. Ben Hou is here today to emphatically reiterate: It is feasible if there is no prohibition in the law. What do you mean? In other words, as long as there is no stipulation in the law that cannot be done, everyone can do it. If there is really something wrong, then the law must be amended before the case can be adjudicated according to the law. ”

Hearing Jiang Chuan's words, many people raised their heads to look at him, and the frightened look on their faces was much less and more curious.

"Bazaars have existed since ancient times, from the capital to the capital and the countryside, there are bazaars of different sizes, different grades, and different goods, which is a matter of course, and Benhou has never opposed the establishment of bazaars. And Ben Hou also plans to build a spacious and tidy market for everyone in the future, but he didn't expect everyone to have formed it spontaneously. So everyone relaxes, Ben Hou will not blame everyone. Get up. ”

Hearing Jiang Chuan say that he was not to blame, the people were greatly relieved, and they got up one after another, and there was another burst of Chitose screams, which made Jiang Chuan very helpless.

"You get up too." Jiang Chuan said to the civil affairs officer who was still kneeling on the ground.

The little official hurriedly got up and thanked Jiang Chuan, stepped aside, and waited for Jiang Chuan to come down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ben Hou will have people set up a special market in the valley, paved with bluestone and covered with green bricks. At that time, merchants from Datong City will be introduced to sell goods in our valley. When the time comes, those who want to do business can apply to the Department of Civil Affairs, and after approval, they can get a shop for free to do business. If you want to set up a stall, you can also apply to the Department of Civil Affairs for a piece of land to set up a stall. ”

After Jiang Chuan said this, he found that many of the people showed excited looks, especially the stall owners standing on both sides.

"When the commercial street is completed, you don't have to worry about a puddle of mud under your feet after snow and rain. Don't worry about rain and snow coming and there is nowhere to hide. At that time, our commercial street will also build taverns, restaurants, teahouses and other pastimes. Before the commercial street was built, all the bazaars can now continue to exist. As long as everyone obeys the Tanaka Ordinance, everything will not be a problem. ”

Jiang Chuan's previous words gave the people a reassurance, and these words gave the people a stimulant injection, and all their faces showed a look of yearning.

For the people in the countryside, everyone yearns to go shopping in the city, the smooth and solid stone road, the spacious street, the rows of shops on both sides of the street, the dazzling array of goods in the shops, which is not dizzying, dazzling, and yearning for it.

But it was not easy to enter the city once. Not only do you have to walk dozens of miles, but you also have to pay the gate tax when you enter the city. When I arrived in the city, I looked at the good things that I couldn't see, and few people could afford to consume them.

Therefore, entering the city is a luxury for the vast majority of the people, and whoever can enter the city once, who can blow for a long time after coming back, is the object of envy of everyone.

Now when they heard that Wu Anhou personally promised to build a street market in the valley that was the same as the streets in the city, everyone was excited, yearning for it, and they all started talking about it with joy.

And Hou Ye also promised not to cancel the existing bazaar, which made the people even more supportive. Many people think that although this Hou Ye is young, he loves the people like a son more than those Lord Liu and treats the people better.

Jiang Chuan, who had some loud discussions, could hear it, but he couldn't distinguish anything for Liu Ji.

In a way, this phenomenon is both a deliberate and desirable outcome.

The courtier carries the pot, and the master picks the fruit, which is also an unspoken rule for thousands of years.

After listening to the people shouting for a while, Jiang Chuan returned to the Hou Mansion with the people.

After returning to Fuzhong, Jiang Chuan asked Liu Ji to come over to discuss the establishment of a commercial street.

When Liu Ji heard this, he muttered for a moment and said, "Lord, I am also preparing to tell you about this matter." I am aware of the spontaneous formation of bazaars by these people, and I am also thinking of establishing a market in the valley. I didn't expect the lord to think of it too. ”

Jiang Chuan smiled: "Then we happen to coincide." In this way, the military advisor, you will go back and lead people to select a suitable place in the valley, and after the selection, I will arrange for the engineering battalion to go over for construction. I had planned to do these things after the beginning of spring next year, but now it seems that the needs of the people are very urgent, so it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, so I will do it now. Now there are nearly 30,000 people in the valley, and the scale of this market cannot be small. However, first plan according to the layout of the street with two horizontal and one vertical. If it's too small in the future, expand it again. ”

Liu Ji nodded and took the order, and the two discussed the details for a while, and Liu Ji went.

The next day, Liu Ji came over to tell him that he had chosen the location of the market, which happened to be between several villages, and the terrain was flat, and it was not located in a low place, so it was not afraid of flooding, and it was also accessible in all directions, which was just right.

After Jiang Chuan heard what Liu Ji said, he approved it, and called the captain of the engineering battalion to explain it, and asked him to draw design drawings and hand them over to him after exploring.

Since it is necessary to build a commercial street, it is necessary to set up a special market management yamen. After discussing with Liu Ji, this yamen was called the Department of Business Management, and it was also a subordinate yamen of the Department of Civil Affairs.

Three tax collectors and 20 tax collectors were set up under the director to maintain order on the streets.

After following Jiang Chuan's order, the people below took action in full swing.

Two days later, the drawings of the engineering battalion were handed in, and Jiang Chuan ordered the construction after making several changes based on his previous life insights. The entire construction site was soon cordoned off, and the engineering battalion began to tinkle inside.

And the staffing on the side of the business management department is also in place.

Half a month later, the captain of the engineering battalion reported that the entire project was basically nearing completion. After all, the speed of construction of the engineering battalion can be called a miracle.

At this time, Jiang Chuan was planning to write a letter to Bai Jinxiu and ask her to mobilize some merchants from Datong to sell some goods to the valley, after all, the Chinese New Year was approaching, whether it was his own Hou Mansion or ordinary people, they needed to buy some things for the New Year.

And Jiang Chuan was thinking that if there were really no businessmen willing to come, he would let the people of Heibingtai sell some goods from Datong and come back to sell, and first prop up the popularity of the commercial street.

But before his letter could be sent, Bai Jinxiu's secret report arrived.

The secret report said that Li Yongnian, the general soldier of Datong, intended to see Jiang Chuan and made an appointment to meet in Datong City.
