Picking Star City, in the past, was only in the palace, the top floor. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It was here that Zhang Fang looked up at the starry sky, thought about the "ancient" and the present, and renamed the city "Star City".

Now, Zhang Fang is standing here again. The difference is that it was the autumn breeze back then, but now it's snowy.

Star City has changed, and many of the chaotic buildings in the city have been dismantled and rebuilt with neat shops. Even though the weather is cold, some bloated figures can still be seen from time to time, going in and out. The area around the wooden city outside the city, which was burned in all directions, has been bulldozed, deep trenches have been dug, and the foundation of the city has been laid. Walls have already begun to be built on several lots, all of which are more than a man tall. If you look closely at the main material for building the city, it is not soil, but a large piece of stone. Of course, there are shortcomings, such as hygiene, as in most Western Regions cities, there is always a stench of livestock and feces in the air. This is still a cold winter, and if it is the middle of summer, the taste will be even worse.

Behind Zhang Fang, there were two people standing, one was Han Jun, who was free, and the other was Tao Sheng, the deacon of Star City.

Han Jun and two Han knights were indeed captured by Inu's men and imprisoned in a stable fifty miles north of the city of Khotan. In this cold winter, naturally there is no less food. Fortunately, Zhang Fang cleaned up the Khotanese father and son and the inu poison in time, and rescued Han Jun and the two Han knights.

After meeting with Tao Sheng and Alimu, the truth of the incident in which Xi Nu was hunted down and killed, and Han Jun and others were captured, slowly sorted out.

The cause of the incident is that Khotan planned to make trouble, bribed or simply sent a "caravan", some of which were real merchants and some of whom were ill-intentioned. Then hire the Star City Guards to escort you. When the time is right, they will riot and kill people and steal goods, creating the illusion that the Star Picking City Guards are plundering the caravoy.

Unexpectedly, things still went wrong, and I ran away with a slave. If he can't be caught, this blame will not be possible. Therefore, Inu Poison was very angry about this, and even openly said in Xihuanshan that he wanted to exchange personnel with Zhang Fang. Needless to say, the poison of Inu is over, and it is difficult to protect Khotan, and all plans are in vain.

Zhang Fang has already cut off this matter from the source, and this time he can't steal chickens and rice.

"Tao Sheng, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Fang retracted his gaze and turned his head to look at this loyal subordinate who had been at his post for four years, "I'm sorry, I originally told you that you only need to stay for three years, but I didn't expect it to ......"

Tao Sheng bowed and said: "Tao Sheng is a member of the Hou family, everything is according to the orders of the head of the family, don't say three years, it is ten years, and Tao Sheng has no regrets." ”

After four years of wind and frost in the north, Tao Sheng, who still had a bit of white-faced martial arts at the beginning, has been polished to a calm face and a good bearing. At this time, Tao Sheng was already a mature person in charge.

Zhang Fang said happily: "Very good, Tao Sheng, after this winter, you can go back to Chang'an." Your father, wife and children are well, so be reunited with them. ”

Tao Sheng buried his head deeply: "Xie family master." ”

Tao Sheng didn't ask who would take over, let alone how long the head of the family would stay in Star Picking City - none of that was for him to ask.

However, Tao Sheng didn't ask, but Zhang Fang wanted to say. Moreover, there is a lot to say, including the arrangements for the future Star City.

At the beginning of December, the snow began to clear.

Taking advantage of this rare sunny day, Zhang Fang invited and convened all stakeholders to gather in the old palace of Star City to discuss the future.

Zhang Fang's agenda for this meeting was very large, and it sounded very refreshing -- the construction and development of the Star City and the relations between the Kangju, Wusun, Dawan, Anxi, and Dayue clans.

The participants are as follows: presiding over Zhang Fang and recording Han Jun. The members of the meeting included Tao Sheng and Alimu, the two deacons of Star City. There are two of the three forces, Bei Se, Kaimu father and son, and vice king Tu Mo. There is a Shingu chief who represents the Jingu side. There are also the aristocratic forces of the Kangju tribes, such as the Marquis of Sanxi and so on. Even the representatives of the Dili Division, where the expelled Khotans were located, had them.

Although the unfriendly forces in the upper echelons of Kangju were quietly cleaned by Zhang Fang, and the threat was lifted, but you have to give a sweet date to beat a stick, right? Whether it is the Divine Palace or the Dieli Ministry, they are all deep-rooted and pivotal forces in Kangju, and they will not collapse because they are missing two leaders.

Therefore, this meeting is indispensable. Of course, if the two hostile and powerful figures are removed, this meeting, the two factions of the Divine Palace and the Dieli Ministry, will not be able to stir up any storms. As long as you give a little favor and give some sweetness, it is not difficult to settle down.

In addition to this, there is also the biggest force - the royal palace.

It is said that Ren Sai was going to send the eldest prince as a representative, but everyone arrived, and the prince had not yet arrived, and it was estimated that the king's health was delayed.

Everyone is here, and they can't wait, Zhang Fang still decided to hold a meeting.

Zhang Fang's opening remarks are not tongue shakes, but legends. He asked people to spread out a huge plan of Star Picking City, which was the plan he had re-made after inspecting Star Picking City during this time. While letting everyone take a closer look, while looking at the picture to explain.

“…… The current stores, you are too scattered now, many stores overlap too high, you sell and I sell, each store is too scattered, it is not conducive to customers to concentrate on purchasing......"

The Northern Marquis asked, "What does the Han envoy mean ......?"

"We need to re-plan and concentrate on the trip." Zhang Fang was confident, erected his palm into a knife, and drew one by one on the drawings, "Silk and fine pottery are in the East Gate District, jewelry and goldware are in the South Gate District, leather loans can be in the Xicheng District, the jade trading field can be moved to the newly built outer city, and the livestock sheds are all released out of the outer city, and the West Gate area of the new outer city is still ......"

Kai Mou was a little hot when he heard this, originally the livestock were bought and sold in the outer city, but later he basically monopolized it. For the sake of convenience, he kept moving inward, and finally ...... This Star City is stinking, and he is the biggest "exhaust emitter".

However, Kaimu was just a little hot-faced, and he didn't think so, because the countries of the Western Regions, including Wusun Chigu City, Dawan Guishan City, which is recognized as the best, and of course Khotanese City, are almost like this.

Zhang Fang's slightly hoarse but high-pitched voice continued to echo: "We also have to repair all the roads in the inner and outer cities, and the materials used must be gravel. Also, here, here, here, there should be no less than twenty latrines in the whole city, and ten in the inner and outer cities. If conditions and funds permit, ...... should also be built outside the city, especially in the livestock trading area."

Bei Se pulled his beard while listening, and couldn't help but say: "It makes sense to build a road here, and this latrine is also built so many ......."

"That's it, on this prairie, how can you not be?" Tu Mo also said with a big grin.

Zhang shook his head with ease, these two, one is the auxiliary marquis, and the other is the vice king, is this conscious of urban sanitation? It seems that this work of cleaning up the environment is really a long way to go. However, since I'm here, things have to be done!

This Star City, in the final analysis, is his. One day, everything will be his.

At this time, a report came from outside the palace: "Yu Junhou, there is a team of people outside the East City Gate, it is the eldest prince of Kangju......"

"Oh, it's finally here. Go, you and I will meet you. ”

"And ......"

"Huh?"

"And Princess Kangju is also here."

Yasha?! Everyone in the room looked at the man for a moment.

Zhang Fang smiled calmly, it seems that this time not only to pick up the stars, but also to win the moon...... (To be continued.) )
