Fan Zhongyan's suggestion is exactly what Liu Mang thinks.

When there are more traders, the Hu market can be active and the trading volume can rise. With enough transaction volume, local governments can receive more money. can also get more military spending.

Liu Yu opened Hu Market in Youzhou, which was criticized a lot.

The Han people of the Central Plains are accustomed to calling the Quartet foreign races with "Dongyi, Xirong, Nanban, and Beidi". These names were originally just normal titles, and later they gradually took on a contemptuous connotation.

Liu Yu's opening of Hu City was also a last resort.

Youzhou is remote and unable to be self-sufficient, so it is necessary to open up Hu City and promote trade in order to trade the materials needed.

Liu Mang has a different concept from the people of this era, and he doesn't think that there is any difference between the "barbarian Rongdi" and the Han people in the Central Plains.

Although Fan Zhongyan still believed in his bones that the Han people had accepted the Zhou rites and were more civilized than the foreign peoples, he was also in favor of vigorously developing the Hu market and promoting exchanges with foreign tribes in the north from the actual situation.

Fan Zhongyan believes that under the current situation, the Central Plains is in turmoil, and the Han dynasty is in decline, so the treatment of foreign tribes in the north should be based on peace.

The northern nomads needed salt and cloth from the Central Plains, and the Central Plains needed livestock and fur from the North. Trade, which can communicate with each other, can also stabilize the foreign races in the north.

Protecting the safety of merchants is the key to ensuring the smooth progress of trade in Hushi.

According to the results of Fan Zhongyan's investigation, there are two main factors affecting Zhuoluhu City.

First, the road is long, and foreign merchants often encounter thieves and robbers along the way.

Second, the conditions of Zhuolu Hu City are poor, the management is poor, and transaction disputes often occur, and even lead to conflicts between Hu merchants and Han merchants.

In order to ensure the safety of the trade routes, Fan Zhongyan suggested sending troops to escort the merchants. And set up a guard post in Quang Ninh County, which is located on the border, for the guards and merchants to rest and recuperate, and wait for a certain number of merchants to be gathered to escort Zhuolu. It can ensure the safety of the trade route, and can charge a certain escort fee.

In order to ensure the fairness of the transaction, a city magistrate was established in Zhuoluhu City. In the event of an ambiguity between the two parties to the transaction on the pricing of the commodity, the city magistrate will determine the price.

At the same time, improve the environment of Hu City. A tent was built near Hushi for merchants to live temporarily. Livestock pens were built and wells were dug for people and animals to drink.

……

Su Dingfang was sluggish and couldn't count on it.

But there are two fierce generals who bite Jin Fu Youde, which are enough to undertake the task of escorting. The two of them each led a team of soldiers and traveled back and forth between Quang Ninh and Zhuolu.

Sheds, fences, and wells were also built.

Decrees are easy to make, but trade prosperity is not an overnight success.

More than a month has passed, and although Zhuoluhu City has not prospered as quickly as Liu Mang expected, the trend is improving. More Hu merchants have chosen to trade goods in Zhuoluhu City.

More Hu merchants bring more goods, but also bring more opportunities to make money. Zhuolu and the surrounding Han merchants and craftsmen also began to gradually converge on Zhuolu.

Autumn is the season when trading is active.

Foreign Hu merchants need to rush to purchase the materials needed for winter before the arrival of winter, and Zhuoluhu City is gradually becoming lively.

The more people there are, the more troubles there are.

Although the environment of Hu City has been improved and a city magistrate has been established, there are still some situations in Hu City, such as fights and loss of property.

The hardware facilities are perfect, and the software must keep up.

Send an inspection team to inspect Hu City to ensure the order of transactions.

Who to send as the captain of the patrol team, Liu Mang thought a lot, and in the end, there was a flash of inspiration - time has changed!

The patrol team can deal with disputes in the market in a timely manner, and Shi Qian, the ancestor of thieves, is not only well versed in pickpocketing, but also can quickly target petty thieves with his keen professional sense.

Pick up with thieves!

Liu Mang gave a thumbs up for his initiative!

However, Liu Mang did not forget to warn Shi Qian: If you can't help it, dare to steal it yourself, chop your hands!

Shi Qian was a leader for the first time, leading the patrol team and patrolling the market proudly.

The only thing Liu Mang is worried about is Shi Qian himself, and he quietly followed to see if this guy would do anything out of the ordinary.

Time did not disappoint Liu Mang, in addition to the obscenity that could not be concealed, it was also dutiful.

The thief's head and conscientious and responsible, were uncoordinated by the times, and Liu Mang couldn't help but want to laugh when he looked at it.

Liu Mang was relieved, and he was also in the mood to take a good look at the gradually lively Hu Market.

A new shop attracted Liu Mang's attention.

It is a small workshop for processing feather products, using bird feathers brought by foreign traders to weave cloaks and ornaments.

Liu Mang's heart moved, walked in, took out the bronze mirror, and explained his needs......

When Liu Mang walked out of the workshop, what shook in his hand was no longer a stupid pu fan, but a feather fan!

Although the feather fan is also very thick, the hand-cranked feather fan looks much more elegant than the puff fan!

Liu Mang didn't forget to make a hand for Wu Yong. Known as Zhiduoxing, how can you do without a feather fan.

……

The development of Zhuoluhu City is getting better and better, and Liu Mang's life is gradually stable.

The war in the Central Plains continued, and many people came to Youzhou to escape the war. Zhuoluhu City is becoming more and more prosperous, and the number of people who come here to make a living is gradually increasing.

However, after all, not everyone has the ability to make a living, and many people can't find a way to make a living, so they take the initiative to join the army, hoping to make a living.

Unknowingly, dozens of people were recruited, and Liu Mang's team expanded to more than 400 people.

Su Dingfang's mood gradually stabilized, but there were still few words. In the past, Fu Youde often accompanied him to talk, but now Fu Youde traveled back and forth between Guangning and Zhuolu for a long time, escorting caravans, and Su Dingfang almost became dumb.

In Su Dingfang's state, Liu Mang did not dare to send him out, and only arranged for him to be in charge of some military affairs in Zhuolu.

Su Dingfang can also complete the tasks he has assigned, but the mute Su Dingfang in front of him is too different from the person in Liu Mang's mind.

There are Fan Zhongyan in government affairs, Cheng Fu and Su in military affairs, and the management of Hu City and the time migration of "urban management and anti-pickpocketing", everything is becoming more and more formal and orderly.

Liu Mang also had more time.

Catching up with a batch of materials to be transported to Jixian County, Liu Mang explained the matter of Zhuolu and rushed back to Jixian County with the team transporting the materials.

This time I went back, not only as an escort, but also as a debriefing, but also to see the situation of the office managed by Wu Yong and Yan Qing.

Wu Yong and Yan Qing are stable and reliable, and they will regularly send the collected information back to Zhuolu.

Liu Mang is very satisfied with the work of the office.

After handling official business, Liu Mang pulled Yan Qing and asked him to test the results of his recent martial arts training.

What Yan Qing taught Liu Mang to practice was not so much martial arts as eyesight.

Yan Qing's training method is simple and easy to practice, even when Yan Qing is not around, Liu Mang will pull his agile brother to train with him.

After this period of practice, Liu Mang's observation ability has greatly improved, and even if he does not turn around or turn his head, he can observe the trajectory of stones thrown in different directions with his peripheral vision.

Liu Mang's progress, even Yan Qing, who doesn't like to say compliments, couldn't help but praise a few words.

Liu Mang was happy!

Airplanes......

The system was launched, which made Liu Mang not surprised......
