When he came to the center of the town and put his hand on the core stone tablet, the panel attribute of Malan Town immediately appeared in front of him.

"Ding! System prompt: The town meets the upgrade conditions, is it upgraded? ”

"Level up!"

A burst of golden light fell, and Malan Town was upgraded to Malan City.

The area of the castle has been expanded fivefold, the streets and alleys have been tripled, and the 10-meter-high city wall has been raised to 15 meters, making it look even more majestic.

Moreover, the buildings in the city can also go further.

"Ding! System prompt: Congratulations! Your village is the 45th county to be promoted, and the system rewards a random attribute +3. ”

Soon, Lin Yuan's [Intelligence] +3 became 43.

Because it's only the top 50 places, the rewards are average.

Lin Yuan checked the first-level county again, and the conditions for promotion to the second-level county.

The condition is still 4.

The first is the population, the population must reach the upper limit of 50,000 people, and the population of Malan City is 38,000, and it will not take long for normal development.

The second is the prosperity of the city, which must reach more than 8,000, Malan City has entered the right track of commerce and trade, and it will be more prosperous here in the future, so Lin Yuan is not worried about the problem of prosperity.

The third is the lord's reputation, which must reach 2000.

To say that Lin Yuan lacks everything, but not his prestige, his prestige has risen to 20,000.

At the beginning, he defeated Yang Qi and obtained 10,000 prestige, and later occupied Suizhou, and gained 5,000 prestige, as well as several major battles before and after, his prestige has accumulated to 20,000.

The third condition is satisfied.

The last condition is that the popularity of the territory must reach 60.

Zhuge Liang has a very good way of governing Malan City, and in a short period of time, he has increased the people's support from 50 points to 70.

Therefore, the last condition is also met.

Now, Malan City has been promoted to a second-level county, only the population and prosperity are missing, and these two are not far apart.

Lin Yuan clicked on the territory ranking again.

No. 1, Qilin City (second-level county seat, Jin Guo Daimyo's mansion, owned by 'Lu Family Gongzi')

No. 2, Xiliangcheng (second-level county, Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia, owned by 'Dahan Ma Mengqi')

No. 3, Xishu City (second-level county seat, Chengdu Mansion in the Southern Song Dynasty, owned by 'Xishuzi')

No. 4, Phoenix City (second-level county seat, Yangzhou Mansion of the Southern Song Dynasty, owned by 'Allure City Dance')

No. 5, Longteng City (second-level county seat, Yanjing Mansion of Jinguo, owned by 'Yanzhao Wushuang')

No. 6, Shanhe City (second-level county seat, Kaifeng Mansion of Jinguo, owned by 'Northern Song Dynasty Xiaozhenren')

No. 7, Sihai City (second-level county, Jiankang Mansion in the Southern Song Dynasty, owned by 'Picturesque Rivers and Mountains')

No. 8, Liangzhou City (second-level county seat, Xixia Xiliangfu, owned by 'Correction of Lao Qin')

No. 9, Huang Yaocheng (first-class county, Jingjiang Mansion in the Southern Song Dynasty, owned by 'Guangxi Liangzai')

No. 10, Hot Pot City (first-class county, Diaoyu City of the Southern Song Dynasty, owned by 'Spicy Little Deaf Man')

No. 11, Pingyao City (first-class county seat, Taiyuan Mansion of Jinguo, owned by 'Datang Relic')

……

No. 45, Malancheng (first-class county, Xiangyang Mansion in the Southern Song Dynasty, owned by 'Lin Yuan')

Starting from the 9th place to the 45th place, all of them are first-class counties.

If Malan City develops a little faster, it can directly squeeze into the top ten.

In the lord's hall, Lin Yuan summoned Cao Ru.

Cao Ru is just a silver hero, responsible for governing Malan City, which is beyond his ability, and if Zhuge Liang has formulated a general policy and strategy, I am afraid he will be too busy.

Lin Yuan praised him, but promised that when things in Suizhou were stable, he would transfer him over.

Malan City is a big commercial city in the future, it is Lin Yuan's money bag, and it still needs capable people to manage it.

Lin Yuan also thought about using the best qualification pill to subdue Cao Ru and promote him to the purple gold level.

But think about it.

The best qualification pill can't be wasted like this.

Wait until you get some top-grade qualification pills in the future, and it's not too late to promote Cao Ru.

In the following days, Lin Yuan took over Malan City.

The first thing he had to do was to send someone to widen the north and south mountain roads of Malan City again.

With the increase of caravans in the past, the original 5-meter-wide road has become very crowded, and those large caravans meet on the road, and the convoys block each other, and it is difficult to even turn around.

Therefore, Lin Yuan directly ordered the road to be changed to 20 meters wide.

In addition to this, he also had guardrails on the mountain walls on both sides of the road to prevent landslides.

In the Jinghu area, landslides are prone to occur during the rainy season.

The purpose of this is to attract the big caravans.

The second thing is that Lin Yuan issued a 'business grace order'.

The content of the Shang Grace Order is very simple, that is, as long as there is a chamber of commerce willing to settle in Malan City, Lin Yuan will provide them with a set of residences and a commercial homestead for free, and the chamber of commerce that settles in can be completely exempted from the past tax rate.

Lin Yuan directly convened representatives of dozens of chambers of commerce to convey the meaning of the Shang En Decree to them.

This move can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves.

There were 17 small chambers of commerce on the spot, which expressed their willingness.

Lin Yuan was also not stingy, and fulfilled his promise on the spot, gave them a house and a homestead, and issued them a Malan City certificate, with which they were exempt from tax in the past.

Several other representatives of large chambers of commerce suddenly moved, and they all got up to say goodbye, apparently to contact the owner of the chamber of commerce behind them.

Lin Yuan smiled lightly, this is what he wanted.

Attracting the Chamber of Commerce to settle in, sending houses and homesteads, and exempting tariffs, it seems that Lin Yuan has suffered a big loss, but in fact, it is not.

As long as the Chamber of Commerce settles in and starts a business in Malan City, Lin Yuan can collect business tax.

The sales tax is 2%, which is one point more than the 1% customs duty.

Moreover, the Chamber of Commerce has another advantage, that is, the concentration and forwarding of goods in various places forms a convection of funds, which can quickly increase the prosperity of the city.

After doing these two things, Lin Yuan stayed for another three days.

On the fourth day, he decided to get up and go to Suizhou City.

After he left, everything in Malan City was still coordinated by Cao Ru.

The framework of Malan City has been decided, and the next step is only to implement, which undoubtedly relieves Cao Ru of a lot of pressure.
