Chapter 34: It's Amazing
Not long after these merchants left, Dong Hongjie also left the prefect's office. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info He is not going to go to other places on an errand, but to go to the Qin Dynasty to share his joy.
When Dong Hongjie came to the official road outside Jinling City, he saw a person in the Qin Dynasty riding a brown and red horse, practicing slow riding.
Dong Hongjie did not shout to stop the Qin Dynasty, but walked to the side of Lemon and the others and waited.
When Lemon saw Dong Hongjie, he hurriedly said respectfully: "Lord Prefect." ā
Dong Hongjie nodded slightly, looked at Lemon and asked, "Why did Brother Qin suddenly remember to learn to ride a horse?" ā
"Childe said he liked it." Lemon replied.
After Dong Hongjie heard this, he smiled faintly: "I see, it seems that this official has to give Brother Qin a good horse." ā
ā¦ā¦
When Dong Hongjie came, the Qin Dynasty saw him. Dong Hongjie didn't speak, and the Qin Dynasty continued to contact the slow ride. But he didn't dare to ask Dong Hongjie to wait too long, so Qin Chao only practiced a little, then stopped practicing and came to Dong Hongjie's side.
"My lord, if you can come to me, does it mean that things are basically dealt with?" Qin Chao smiled and spoke.
Dong Hongjie nodded and said, "That's true, otherwise, I wouldn't have the leisure to come here and chat with you, Brother Qin." ā
Dong Hongjie asked, "Brother Qin, do you still have any good governing policies?" ā
Qin Chao thought for a moment and replied: "There is no better one for the time being, but maybe there will be one later." ā
Dong Hongjie smiled and nodded, but he secretly pondered Qin Chao's words in his heart.
"Brother Qin, I just asked the maid in your house, why did you suddenly remember to learn to ride a horse. The maid in your house said you liked it. Since Brother Qin likes it, it shows that this horseback riding is indeed worth learning. ā
"If Brother Qin doesn't mind, I'll learn it too?"
Dong Hongjie's status is here, if he wants to learn to ride a horse, there are too many ways to learn. There is no need to rub the Qin Dynasty at all. The reason why he is like this is not because he wants to please himself.
The Qin Dynasty was not surprised by this. After all, it's human nature. Since Dong Hongjie wants to learn, let him be.
"It's rare that adults are interested, and I don't mind." Qin Chao replied with a smile.
"Alright, let's learn how to ride a horse." Dong Hongjie laughed happily and said.
ā¦ā¦
The next day, just arrived at Mao time.
The officials of the prefect and the government put a new announcement on the announcement wall of the prefect.
Those merchants who went to ask Dong Hongjie to solve the problem yesterday gathered here before the hour came. Now, as the officials put up the new announcement, they rushed up to see the new announcement.
In order to solve the problem of merchants without stalls, and at the same time avoid causing trouble to the people in the city, a new notice is hereby promulgated.
All the stalls at the entrance of the original vegetable market will be reformed in a unified manner. In addition, new booths were opened in the east, south, west and north of the city.
The east of the city is a place for food trading, the north of the city is a place for daily necessities, and the west part of the city is a place for groceries trading. The south of the city is a place for people to trade.
When these merchants saw this, they were all stunned.
After leaving the prefect's office yesterday, these people also guessed how the prefect Dong Hongjie would solve their problems. They guessed a lot of answers, but none of the answers they guessed matched today's answers.
Seeing this, these merchants frowned. Because, Jinling City is very large, if a person walks from the east of the city to the south of the city, it will take an hour, and from the south of the city to the west of the city, it will take another hour.
If you count the prefect's government in the city, then if the people of Jinling want to purchase goods, it will take five hours.
If that's the case, then you won't be able to do anything for a day.
It was here that people frowned, pondering the disadvantages of this new deal.
Large open-air carriages that have been converted appear on the streets.
At the head of the open-air carriage were two government officials, both of whom held a sign.
One sign reads, "Round trip from the city to the east of the city," and another reads, "Free rides,Limited to 10 people."
The two officials led a newly modified open-air carriage to the men.
"Ladies and gentlemen, if anyone wants to go to the east of the city, they can ride for free. All expenses are borne by the Jinling Mansion. ā
Everyone was stunned, and then there were smart people who figured out the reason.
"I see." A middle-aged merchant suddenly opened his mouth, he looked at the official and asked, "Is it really free?" ā
"It's free." The official replied.
"So, I'm going to try." He said.
"Please." The official stretched out his hand and made an inviting gesture.
The middle-aged merchant smiled and nodded, then walked over to the open-air carriage, and after the open-air carriage stopped, he sat down.
When everyone saw him go to sit, they became interested for a while. Since it's free, there's no harm in sitting and experiencing it.
These people followed suit and rode in the newly renovated open-air carriage.
When the first open-air carriage was full, the two officials instructed the coachman who drove the carriage to the east of the city.
Then the second car also drove to the east of the city.
Soon, the vehicles were full of people and headed for the east of the city.
The two officials saw that all the carriages were full and left. They looked at each other, then continued to hold up the signs they were holding, and then went to promote this new policy of benefiting the people.
At the same time, the eastern, western, southern, and northern parts of the city are also doing the same.
The east of the city is from the south of the city, the south of the city to the west of the city, the west of the city to the north of the city, and the north of the city to the middle of the city.
This is what Dong Hongjie can do now, as for the later optimization route, it is necessary to wait for the commercial development of Jinling for a period of time, and the two banks in the house have new additions, and then sit on the change.
At that time, even if Dong Hongjie does not advocate reform, the people of Jinling will ask Dong Hongjie to change in order to make their lives more convenient, and even they will change themselves.
These Jinling people and Jinling merchants who took the new open-air carriage were all happy after arriving at their destination.
The people of Jinling are happy that with this policy of benefiting the people, it will be more convenient for them to appear. What Jinling merchants are happy about is that with this policy of benefiting the people, their customers will increase greatly, and thus they will earn more silver.
After all, there is a lot of business that will be affected because of the poor transportation. Now, they are happy to be able to reduce this disadvantage.
A few merchants even sighed, if they had known that this would be the case, they would have been too late to welcome with both hands, how could they resist the new policy.
On this day, Qin Chao and Lemon both experienced the feeling of riding in a new open-air carriage.
Along the way, Lemon was very happy and kept smiling, and Qin Chao was also very happy about this.
When night fell, the Qin Dynasty and Lemon returned to the east of the city and returned to the Qin Mansion.
"Childe, you really don't know much." Lemon looked at Qin Chao with admiration and praised.
