Hua'an and his entourage rode their horses to the outside of Luoyang City, and walked around outside the city wall that was about to be expanded, only to see that this area was thousands of acres large, but it was said to be a very large land.

"Your Majesty, there are thousands of acres of land here, and in the opinion of the generals, it is enough to expand a small part." Wang San looked at the large area of land under his feet and said loudly.

"Yes! Your Majesty, now that we have insufficient financial resources, the area here is too large, and it is enough to use three achievements at most. Zhuge Xiong also echoed.

"It's true that you won't need so much land to expand a few streets, but I'm afraid that more land will be needed for further commercial development in the future!" Wang Meng said softly.

Obviously, Wang San and Zhuge Xiong stand from the perspective of current demand, thinking that only a small part of the thousands of acres of wasteland outside the city needs to be expanded, while Wang Meng thinks more long-term, and feels that the development of commerce will not stop, and the demand for land may be greater in the future, and it is still necessary to reserve some vacant land in advance.

When Hua An heard this, he felt that Wang Meng was more far-sighted, so he said softly: "General Wang is right, if you only look at the present, only expand a small part, in the future, when you need it, you will have to demolish the city wall again and re-expand, so it is a waste of repetition, it is absolutely undesirable, besides, we have already carried out an expansion of Luoyang City, at that time, we thought that after the expansion, the land in the city is enough to use, how now, it is not crowded a lot, and in the future, Luoyang City will become the capital of the Great Jin." The demand for land will further increase due to the fact that various institutions of the court and the central government will be built in the city, so it is necessary to expand more land and leave enough space. It's always good. ”

When Wang San and Zhuge Xiong heard this, they felt that what Hua'an said was very reasonable, so they both nodded very approvingly and agreed with Hua'an's opinion.

Subsequently, Hua An asked the soldiers beside him to make a preliminary survey of the open space outside the city. to determine the approximate size of the vacant lot, and then rode away with his men and returned to the palace.

After returning to the palace, Hua An immediately removed a small number of talents from the craftsmen who had repaired the palace in Luoyang City, and told them of his plan to expand the scale of Luoyang City, and then asked them to immediately go to the location where the expansion needed to be carried out, and let them measure it carefully. And try your best to plan a suitable plan, and then put it into your own hands.

These craftsmen, after accepting the task assigned by Hua'an, immediately left the palace and rushed to the predetermined position, carried out careful measurements, and gathered together to study the planned plan.

After careful measurements and in-depth discussions, several craftsmen finally made a preliminary plan. And the expansion plan of Luoyang City was handed over to Hua'an.

Hua'an took the craftsman's plan in his hand and carefully observed it. I think the planning of the craftsmen is still very good, but Hua'an is still a little dissatisfied with the width of the new street, after all, the commercial development of Luoyang City has been getting better and better at this time. In the future, there must be a lot of pedestrians on the streets, and the narrow passages are very unfavorable to the circulation of commerce, and may even drag down the development of commerce. For this reason, these planned roads must be wider.

After careful consideration, Hua'an informed several craftsmen of his idea and asked them to modify the width of the street, especially the new main street, which should be doubled on the basis of the original plan.

The craftsmen re-revised the street plan according to Hua'an's requirements, and Hua'an was very satisfied after reading it, and immediately asked them to organize talents to make a model of the three-dimensional body according to a certain proportion of the content on the planning map, and the model should be as fine as possible, so as to show the whole picture of the new street without omission.

The reason why Hua'an wants to make the content of the plan into an intuitive three-dimensional model is to let the merchants of Luoyang City see the whole picture of the new street more clearly, after all, the planning drawing on the plane is more professional, not all businessmen can understand it, and once the planar shì plan is made into the shape of a solid body, then no matter what kind of businessman, you can see it clearly, so as to facilitate the purchase in advance.

After understanding Hua'an's request, several craftsmen immediately went to organize the manpower and prepared all the tools and materials needed to make the zuò model.

Due to the large scale of the expanded streets and shops, and the high requirements of Hua'an, it was necessary to show as many details as possible, so when making zuò, these craftsmen had to study carefully together before they could start making zuò in order to meet Hua'an's requirements as much as possible.

After nearly half a month of hard work by dozens of skilled craftsmen, the three-dimensional model of the expanded street was finally completed, due to the relatively large scale of the new street, if the scale is too large, many of the details of the house can not be well expressed, for this reason, the model made is very large, enough to occupy a large room in the North Palace.

After the model was completed, the craftsman immediately told Hua'an the news, and Hua'an was naturally very happy to learn such news, and immediately led several of his henchmen to check.

After entering the room where the model was placed, Hua'an and his henchmen suddenly felt that their eyes lit up, the model was very realistic, much better than Hua'an's expectation, and Hua'an's request to show as many details of the street as possible was also carried out by these craftsmen.

Looking at these realistic models, Hua An nodded with great satisfaction, and praised the craftsmen for doing a very good job, which made him very satisfied, and moreover, these models adopt a similar modular design, they are composed of many blocks, which is very conducive to transfer and relocation.

Hua An roughly estimated with his eyes, the length of this model is five zhang, and the width is nearly one zhang, which is a very large model.

"Your Majesty, these models don't seem to be any different from real streets, just a little smaller." Wang San said in surprise.

"Yes! Wang, these models are so well done, even stupid businessmen can understand them, so that the pre-sale plan of the king can be implemented smoothly! Zhuge Xiong said happily.

Wang Meng hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, now that the models have been made, it is better to immediately make these models public, and clearly mark the price, so that the merchants of Luoyang City take the initiative to ask for them." ”

Hua An nodded happily, and said: "That's right, this king's plan will be realized soon, but how much the price of these shops should be set still needs to be carefully studied!" After speaking, he looked at Wang Meng.

Wang Meng thought for a moment, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Why should the king worry, you can immediately ask the craftsman to calculate the cost of building these shops, and then increase fifty percent as the selling price, what does the king think?" ”

"Fifty percent?" Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said softly: "Increase fifty percent on the basis of the cost, this is just the reserve price, this king intends to sell by bidding, whoever gives the highest price will sell it to whom, so that you can get the maximum profit." After speaking, he looked at the generals beside him.

"Auction sale?" Wang Meng and the others had never heard of this kind of word, but they still quickly understood what Hua'an meant, after all, Hua'an had already made it very clear that whoever offered the highest price would sell it to whom, so they could naturally understand it.

Subsequently, Huaan asked several senior craftsmen to calculate the construction cost of all the shops in the model, so that Huaan could set the lowest price for these shops, so as to serve the next official pre-sale.

These craftsmen have been responsible for building various buildings for many years, and they are very aware of the cost of building various types of houses, so they quickly calculated the cost of various types of shops and made oral reports to Hua'an.

When Hua'an heard this, he was very satisfied, and asked a craftsman to increase the cost of these pre-sale shops by 50%, and then write it on a piece of paper as the reserve price for the pre-sale.

After determining the reserve price of the various shops, Hua'an sent a team of people to move all the models to the busiest street in Luoyang City, and rearrange them under a shaded pavilion.

In order to personally check the interest of the merchants of Luoyang City in the new street, Hua An, Wang Meng and others deliberately dressed up in casual clothes and made it on a two-story teahouse on the side of the pavilion, where Hua An could see all the situation below very clearly.

As Hua An had expected, the models were immediately of great interest to the merchants and pedestrians in the streets, who had never seen them before, and for this reason they all gathered around the models, and drained the entire pavilion from the water.

Because the base of the gazebo is relatively high, for this reason, the model that is normally placed is about a zhang higher than the street, so that even if it is outside the crowd, you can see the model, however, if you want to see the whole picture and details of the model, you must enter the gazebo, and Hua'an has already issued an order, in order to protect the model from being damaged by man, it is forbidden for a qiē unrelated people to visit the model at close range, and only powerful businessmen can enter the pavilion to see the model up close.

The area of the pavilion here is not too large, it can only accommodate nearly 100 people to visit at the same time, but there are more than 1,000 businessmen in Luoyang City, for this reason, the pavilion seems much smaller, however, these businessmen with heads and faces cannot come to visit at the same time, for this reason, the pavilion can still be accommodated.

Merchants are very sensitive to information such as streets and shops, especially the construction of many large streets on such a large scale, which is even more explosive news, for this reason, the expansion model has just been put out, and it immediately spread in the business circle of Luoyang City, and has attracted the attention of major merchants.
