Liang Yinxian naturally had no objection, immediately stayed in Chang'an City, first contacted a group of businessmen in Shaanxi Province, first ventilated in the business circle in Shaanxi Province, with the golden signboard of the governor of Shaanxi, the businessmen in Shaanxi Province showed great interest in the Chijin Special Economic Zone proposed by Xu Liang, Liang Yin first made an appointment with several groups of businessmen in the teahouse to drink tea, and then set seven businesses willing to go to Chijin City.

Since Ge Qiao's arrival still took time, Xu Liang decided to go to Chijin City first. Liang Ziqi of the Liang family in Jingzhou brought two old shopkeepers of the Liang family with Xu Liang.

The Liang family and the Xu Fu two firms prepared a batch of goods and set off with Xu Liang.

When the team passed through Guyuan City, Xu Liang remembered that Hong Chengchou, the three-sided governor who was under house arrest in the Guyuan Governor's Palace, ordered the team to enter Guyuan City and rest in the city for a while, while Xu Liang himself went to the Trilateral Governor's Palace.

Guyuan Zhizhou He Qi personally accompanied Xu Liang into the Governor's Mansion, Xu Liang asked about the recent situation of the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou, He Zhizhou said with a complicated expression: "My lord, since Hong Chengchou was placed under house arrest in the Governor's Palace, he has not made much trouble, recently he seems to be obsessed with calligraphy, and he has to write a few paintings every day." ”

"Oh?" Xu Liang was surprised, "Could it be that Hong Chengchou is not preparing to be an official and change his career to sell words?" ”

He Zhizhou smiled, it was not easy to answer.

In the Governor's Palace, several staff officers of the Governor's Mansion who stayed behind saw Xu Liang coming in from a distance, and they all retreated far away with fear on their faces, and a group of officers and soldiers of the Patrol Division who were ordered to be stationed in the Governor's Mansion saw Xu Liang and saluted respectfully.

Xu Liang and He Qi entered the backyard of the Governor's Palace, and saw Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three sides, dressed in white, holding a brush in his hand, and waving ink on the white paper laid on a stone table.

Xu Liang and He Qi stepped forward and saw that Hong Chengchou had written a pair: "Lao Ji is a long way, and his ambition is thousands of miles; The martyrs are in their twilight years, and their hearts are strong. "The pen is strong and powerful, and the pen is sharp, like a knife edge.

After Hong Chengchou finished writing, he first looked at it carefully for a while, and then put away his pen unsatisfied, and then looked up at Xu Liang, and his tone was flat: "Lord Governor, how can you have time to come to the old man today?" ”

Although the tone was flat, Xu Liang and He Qi could hear that Hong Chengchou had lost his authority now and still had a lot of resentment towards Xu Liang.

However, Xu Liang didn't care, glanced at the unfinished handwriting, and praised: "Your Excellency Governor's calligraphy is getting better and better. Congratulations. ”

Hong Chengchou sneered: "The old man is a dignified second-class member of the court, the governor of the three sides, he can't deter the three sides, and order the three armies, but he can only hide here and spill his pen and ink, hiding in the cage, how happy he is!" ”

Xu Liangming knew that Hong Chengchou was secretly sarcastic that he had seized the power of the trilateral governor, and he did not have the name of the governor, but he exercised the power of the governor.

After more than half a sentence, Xu Liang stopped talking nonsense and said indifferently: "Lord Governor, this official is about to go to Chijin City, passing by Guyuan, I came to see you." ”

Hong Chengchou sneered: "The old man heard that the governor threatened to make Chijin City into a special economic zone? Since the time of Taizu, the Ming Dynasty has always restricted commercial contacts with foreign countries and controlled the development of neighboring countries through material restrictions. As soon as the governor opened this example, he wasted all the efforts of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years! In the future, the border will be restless, and the governor will be a sinner for the ages. ”

When Xu Liang heard what Hong Chengchou meant, he understood that Hong Chengchou resolutely did not agree to the establishment of a special economic zone. However, building Chijin City into a special zone was a firm idea in Xu Liang's heart, and he didn't want to say more to Hong Chengchou immediately, so he chuckled: "Your Excellency, this is a joke. The official wants to build Chijin City into a special economic zone, which has been approved by the Governor's Office. The official document sent by the Governor's Office to Chijin is still on the official's carriage. There is a large seal of the governor's palace on the official document! ”

Regarding Xu Liang's use of the name of the Trilateral Governor's Office to exercise the powers of the governor, Hong Chengchou was angry and helpless, sighed, and said hatefully: "The merits of the court are the court's own opinions. ”

Xu Liang ignored him anymore, and after explaining to Guyuan Zhizhou He Qi that he was strictly guarding the trilateral governor Hong Chengchou, he returned to the carriage and the team continued to march towards Chijin City.

All the way through Suzhou, through the Suzhou Pass, it will enter the territory of Tulupan. After passing the Suzhou Pass, and then to the hundreds of miles of Chijin City, all the way is a dusty gravel road, Xu Liang and Liang Ziqi sat in the carriage, and the benefits were bumped along the way.

Liang Ziqi looked at the dim sky in front of him with a bitter face, wiped his sweat and said: "Lord Governor, this Tulupan is inevitably too desolate, the road is difficult to walk, the dust is heavy, and it is rare to see the local people along the way. The forty or fifty miles after leaving Suzhou Pass almost broke my bones. ”

Xu Liang nodded and said, "If the Chijin Special Economic Zone wants to develop, the main road from Chijin to Suzhou Pass must be repaired. If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and this is really good. ”

Liang Ziqi thought for a while and said, "If you want to build a road, you have to hurry." After President Ge Qiao arrived in Chang'an, the time of the annual meeting of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce could be set, and after the annual meeting, those who rushed to Chang'an to the business owners, shopkeepers, must go to Chijin City to check on the spot, if the road is still this kind of deadly road, it will scare away many people. ”

After walking forward for more than an hour, Wu Side, the shopkeeper of Liang Ji, who led the way in front of the team, walked back on horseback and arched his hand towards Xu Liang: "My lord, I met General Luo's soldiers and horses in front. ”

Xu Liang's carriage walked to the front of the team, and he saw a group of Liang officers and soldiers parked on the side of the road, and the Liang army general led by him stepped forward and respectfully bowed his hand to Xu Liang and said, "The last general has seen the governor." ”

Xu Liang looked at him and asked, "Which army are you from?" ”

The general replied respectfully: "The last general will be General Luo of Chijin City, and on the order of General Luo, he will go out of the city to pursue the secret agent of Tulu Pan Sutan." Now he is about to return to Chijin City, and he happened to meet the team of the governor. ”

Xu Liang looked into the general team, and sure enough, he saw several Liang soldiers escorting two people from Tulupan with their heads hanging down and drooping their heads.

Xu Liang asked, "Are there many spies like this in the vicinity of Chijin City?" ”

The general face was disdainful, and he arched his hand and said: "Back to the governor's words, the secret agents of Turpan Sutan have never been interrupted since we occupied Chijin City, but now Chijin and various cities in Shazhou have established a fangli system, and every gathering place for the people has a lizheng management, and there are militia guards. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, his heart was a little relieved, and he immediately waved his hand to continue moving forward.

Gather his subordinates, walk in the front, and be responsible for leading the way.

The group entered Chijin City smoothly. After Liang Ziqi entered the city, he suddenly said to Xu Liang: "After the governor enters the city, he should go to the Chijin City Lord's Mansion." It is inconvenient to accompany the child period. This time, I brought two old shopkeepers of the Liang family with me, and I just took the opportunity to take a look around Chijin City to understand the situation. ”

Xu Liang said: "That's fine. It's just that tonight the official is going to hold a banquet in the Chijin City Lord's Mansion, and Brother Liang should not be absent at that time. ”

Liang Ziqi hurriedly smiled and said, "Before dark, I will definitely rush to the city lord's mansion to meet with the governor." ”

As a result, Liang Ziqi's men and horses separated from Xu Liang's team and left.

Luo Ru, the city lord of Chijin, learned of Xu Liang's arrival, and hurriedly brought a group of subordinates from the city lord's mansion to welcome him out of the mansion. Surrounded by Xu Liang into the City Lord's Mansion, Luo Rucai and Bayi accompanied Xu Liang and Wu Side and sat in the living room. Luo Rucai put on a subordinate reporting posture and reported the situation in Chijin City in the past month in front of Xu Liang one by one.

Xu Liang said: "It seems that the work done by General Luo and Bayi in Chijin City is still very effective. Before coming, the official met a general of Liang Jun in the middle of the road, and from his mouth, the official also learned that the Fangli system we implemented in Chijin City had achieved remarkable results. ”

Luo Rucai and Bayi smiled. Bayi arched his hand and said: "Don't hide it from the governor, now all the schools in Chijin City and Shazhou City have switched to Chinese teaching, and now in Chijin City, there are more and more people who can speak Chinese, although they can't communicate freely, but most of them can understand the meaning." ”

Xu Liang praised: "General Luo and Bayi have worked hard. Then, Xu Liang looked at Luo Rucai and Bayi, and told the two of them about building Chijin City into a special economic zone, and it was difficult to talk for free in the middle.

Regarding Xu Liang's request, Luo Rucai and Bayi naturally supported it 100%, although the two of them may not be able to understand much.

Xu Liang immediately put out a map of Chijin City, on which part of the area has been demarcated, this is a collection of Xu Liang, Luo Baiguan, Wang Qinian's minds, drawn out of the transformation of Chijin City.

Xu Liang pointed to the markers on the map and said slowly: "General Luo, Bayi, please see, in order to build the Chijin Special Economic Zone, some of the facilities and layouts of the original Chijin City will have to be made some small changes. At present, the official has asked Ge Qiao and Liang Yin to organize the annual meeting of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce in Chang'an City, and after the annual meeting, there will be a large number of business owners and shopkeepers rushing to Chijin City to visit the field. So what the next two to do is to follow this schematic diagram to mobilize the manpower and material resources of Chijin City, build it on a large scale, and build the prototype as soon as possible. ”

Luo Rucai and Ba Yi listened to Xu Liang pointing and explaining, and felt that one head was not enough. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: The governor doesn't know how this head grows, and strange ideas are always emerging. In order to build a special economic zone, not only the main streets of Chijin City were demarcated, but also hotels, teahouses, theaters, gambling halls, loan warehouses, and bulk goods stores were designed. What's even more rare is that Lord Xu also set up a latrine at several gathering points...... Oh, no, according to the governor, it should be called a public toilet, and it is divided into men and women, which sounds very classy!

Xu Liang's mouth was dry, and he drank a few sips of tea before he took the map in the eyes of Luo Rucai, Ba Yi, Wu Side and others, and then looked at Luo Rucai and Ba Yi who were looking at him, and laughed for a while, and said: "What I just said can only be regarded as the blueprint of the special economic zone, and there is still a lot of work to be done to realize it." However, at the moment, the official wants the two of them to do the most important thing. ”

Luo Rucai and Ba Yi shook up, and the two of them held their heads high and shouted loudly: "Please give an order." ”

Xu Liang said in a deep voice: "In this section of hundreds of miles from Suzhou Pass to Chijin City, there is not even a decent road!" Along the way, the official was about to be torn apart in the carriage! Now, the task I have given you is to build the main road from Suzhou to Chijin City within a month! ”

"Hiss......" Luo Rucai and Ba Yi both took a breath, and Ba Yi whispered: "That...... Lord Governor, the road of hundreds of miles will be completed in a month, and the time is a little tight. Unless all the troops in the city are sent out to build roads......"

Xu Liang scolded: "Stupid! Who told you to send the army out! Such a simple matter as building a road can be handed over to the people in Chijin City! This official will give you a trick, according to the original old road, first widen about a zhang. In order to rush for time, you can recruit several groups of people to work on several sections at the same time! ”

When Ba Yi heard this, his face was slightly bitter, and he said, "My lord, in this case, the cost of building the road will be great!" Ahem, you also know that Chijin City has just been occupied, and the tax revenue is pitiful, and there is not much silver taels in the City Lord's Mansion at all, I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain such a large project! ”

Xu Liang glared at him and shouted in a deep voice: "The matter of building roads is imperative. ”

Ba Yi stopped and looked at Xu Liang aggrievedly.

Luo Rucai explained in a low voice beside the door: "My lord is angry, what Ba Yi said is also the truth, there are less than two thousand taels of silver in the Chijin City Lord's Mansion, and there is indeed no money." ”

Xu Liang looked at Luo Rucai and Ba Yi singing and drinking, but they cooperated tacitly! couldn't help but laugh dumbly, pointed at the two of them, and scolded with a smile: "Did the official say that he wanted your Chijin City Lord's Mansion to pay for it?!" The construction of special economic zones is advocated by this official alone. The construction funds are fully responsible for the governor's yamen. The Governor's Yamen Taxation Department will allocate a special fund of 200,000 taels of silver! In another three or five days, the first payment will be delivered to the Chijin City Lord's Mansion. You two, just recruit good people and start construction as soon as possible. ”

When Luo Rucai and Ba Yi heard that it was actually paid by the governor's yamen, there would be no problem at all. Immediately, the two of them smiled, and vowed to successfully complete the road repair task.

That night, the Chijin City Lord's Mansion held a banquet to receive Xu Liang, the governor of Shaanxi, and the distinguished guests from Jingzhou, Shaanxi, Liang Ziqi, the eldest son of the Liang family in Jingzhou.

The next day, the Chijin City Lord's Mansion sent people to post notices in conspicuous places in various places in Chijin City, to recruit manpower and build roads, and the treatment given was extremely generous, with food, housing, and remuneration! At the same time, the city lord's mansion also sent instructions to the six small cities around Chijin's jurisdiction, requiring a large number of young and strong people to be recruited to form a construction team and bring them to Chijin City to participate in road construction.

In just two or three days, almost all of Tulupan knew that Chijin City was about to start construction!

Three days later, the first construction money, totaling 50,000 taels of silver, personally escorted by officials from the Yamen Taxation Department of the Shaanxi Governor, arrived in Chijin City. At the same time, 12 road construction teams have also been organized, and the road is in full swing on the main road from Suzhou Pass to Chijin City. (To be continued.) )
