Finally, before dark, Lin Sen passed through the Yumen Pass and returned to Dunhuang to find Wu Yong and others.

Who knew that I didn't dare to enter the city at all, and I was afraid that someone would covet so many things by myself, so I found a secret place to set up a tent to rest. Fortunately, Wu Yong also sent more than a dozen people out to wait for Lin Sen, Rao is so, and Lin Sen also spent a lot of effort to find Wu Yong.

After meeting with Wu Yong, he greatly praised him for this approach. After resting for the night, he began to return to Jizhou.

There are more and more stragglers and robbers and bandits along the way, and now Lin Sen has more than 300 carriages to transport materials, which is the same existence as Jinshan in the eyes of others, so he often encounters robbers and bandits, fortunately, there is an escort team, and there is nothing wrong along the way, under the strong force of the escort team, thousands of bandits and robbers have been collected. The group returned to Qingquan City in Jizhou.

This trip to the Silk Road took seven months of game time, and it was also a good game journey, Wu Tong had a lot of fun along the way, and also saw a lot of beautiful scenery!

This time, Lin Sen took the caravan to almost all of Central Asia and Eastern Europe, and the harvest was of course very rich, earning countless money and bringing back a large amount of materials.

Of course, most of these things were handed over to the Chamber of Commerce that Wang Lei was in charge of, and the gold he earned, he was going to give most of them to Wang Lei, so that he could continue to expand the scale of the Chamber of Commerce with the money. He only left horses and grain, which were the basis for Lin Sen's future hegemony in the world.

After Lin Sen returned to Qingquan City, he immediately summoned the main people in the city to the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Sen first said: "Deputy City Lord Lu, I have brought back the Great Wanliang Horse of the Western Regions this time, as well as the Wusun Xiji Horse, we must feed it with the best forage and arrange a special person to take care of it." ”

Lu Wen replied: "The subordinates obey the order, and they must do it properly." ”

Lin Sen nodded and asked about the situation in the city: "In the past few months of my business, how has the development of the city been?" Is there an outside world that is intruding on us? ”

Lu Wen replied: "I would like to tell the lord that in the past few months when the lord has left, the city has developed smoothly and has been upgraded to a second-class small city, the current population of the city has reached 500,000 people, the land is about 300,000 mu, and the level of farmers is also above the intermediate level, so the efficiency is very high. It's just that because the main god revised the rules a few months ago, the grain is not yet ripe, but fortunately, there is a lot of grain stored in the city, and there is no food shortage. ”

Lu Wen paused, took a sip of water and continued: "At present, the total number of workers who mine iron ore, stone and logging has also increased to 150,000, and several large ore veins have been discovered in the mountains, which are currently being mined. There are 10,000 craftsmen of all kinds, and the artisan shops occupy almost three streets. There are 100 master craftsmen, more than 2,000 senior craftsmen, and the rest are primary, intermediate and apprentice craftsmen. Every day, you can forge 10 sets of blue-level equipment and 300 sets of green-level equipment, all of which are used to equip the soldiers in the city, and all the white equipment produced is sold in Qingfeng City. ”

Lin Sen felt very satisfied after hearing this, and said, "Oh, you guys are developing very well! ”

Wang Hua is the deputy city lord of Qingfeng City, and it was Lu Wen's turn to say after he finished speaking: "Lord, the development of Qingfeng City is also very good, it is also a second-level small city like Qingquan City, with a population of only more than 100,000 people, and craftsman talents have also been sent to Qingquan City, the land outside the city has been reclaimed, with a total of 20,000 acres of land, since the lord announced the news of resource price reduction, there are very, very many people in the city to buy all kinds of materials every day, and the daily sales of materials plus taxes can reach more than 10,000 yuan, the city is heavily guarded, and no one dares to make trouble in the city!" ”

Lin Sen smiled and nodded: "Well, it's also very good!" ”

"Thank you for the compliment!" Lu Wen opened his mouth and continued: "Another thing is that there are a lot of fields that have been cultivated at present, and many fields are far away from Qingquan City, so it takes a lot of time for farmers to go back and forth. I also ask the Lord to decide. ”

Lin Sen asked, "Then what do you think?" ”

"We discussed that we could set up some villages in some places and move people there, so that they would not have to walk back and forth, and we believed that there would be more and faster fields to be cultivated in this way."

"Hmmm! Your idea is very good, so let's do it, but the village should be fully equipped and built with stone. Tell the people that those villages will develop, even if they are not towns, they will be very lively. All right! Do you still have any problems with the construction of the city? ”

Seeing a person standing up and saluting, Lin Sen found that he didn't know him.

"The lord may not know me, I came to the city during the period of time when the lord left, my name is Lin Long, and my subordinates have a suggestion."

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Lin Long, do you have any suggestions?"

"At present, the city has a large population, and the city is also very large, but there are fewer shops, and the people in the city often have to walk a distance to buy things, which is not very convenient. Originally, these shops belonged to the lord's mansion, and the subordinates suggested that the shops in the city, except for the artisan shops and butcher shops, should be sold to some people in the city at low prices, and at the same time, the people should be allowed to set up their own shops and let them manage them. We have our own chamber of commerce in Qingquan City, and we can completely purchase a large number of supplies and supplies from outside and provide them to these shops, and the city lord's mansion will collect taxes from these shops. In this way, it can not only increase the income of the city lord's mansion, but also facilitate the people, enrich the people, and ask the lord to decide. ”

Lin Sen secretly admired in his heart: "Hmm! This suggestion is very good, this matter will be left to you to handle, and Qingfeng City is the same, you coordinate with Deputy City Lord Lu, Deputy City Lord Wang and President Wang Lei to handle this matter, and this matter should be completed in the fastest time. ”

"Yes!" The four replied.

"How's the Chamber of Commerce doing now?"

Wang Lei replied: "Tell the lord, the current chamber of commerce has a large scale, and in the past few months, the financial support of Qingquan City has been issued very quickly, and all the states and counties in the north have opened stores. Although it does not cover all prefectures, there are stores in all prefectures. The caravan traveled through the northern states and Jingyang Prefectures, transporting and selling various supplies, and interacting with many local gentry, and the Chamber of Commerce had now begun to turn a profit, and the money earned, in addition to the necessary expenses and the development of new shops, would be sent back every two months. According to the orders of the lord, these are all carried out in secret, and outsiders do not know that our chamber of commerce belongs to the lord. ”

"Okay, good, great, you must know that your Chamber of Commerce is very important to the development of Qingquan City, and you should continue to develop and expand the scale." Lin Sen turned his head to look at the generals in the city.

"How's the military development in the city?"

Chen Gang got up and saluted, and said, "Tell the lord, at present, the elite soldiers stationed in the two cities have reached 80,000, including 5,000 heavy cavalry and light cavalry, 10,000 archers, and the rest are all foot soldiers, all equipped with green suits or above. At the same time, fifty escort teams of 500 people were also formed, all of which were handed over to President Wang Lei. ”

After a few months, all aspects have developed too fast, and they are too powerful, the heritage, this is the heritage!

"Hmmm! You have also done a very good job, and now the world is in turmoil, and there are constant rebellions everywhere. When there is a strong army to defend our homeland, and now we have begun to hoard a large amount of grain, whether it is the money transferred back by the Chamber of Commerce, or the money earned by the two cities of Qingfeng and Qingquan, 80% of it will be used to buy grain and grass in various counties and counties, and transport it back to Qingquan City to hoard, this matter is still handled by the Chamber of Commerce, but it must be done in secret. ”

"And this trip to the Western Regions has gained a lot, not only earned a lot of money, but also brought back a lot of furs and jade, raw materials, lapis lazuli, spices, etc., Wang Lei, you coordinate with the branch presidents of the Chamber of Commerce, let them recruit craftsmen who can process these things, and even bring craftsmen who can make gold, silver and bronze utensils to recruit back, remember that there must be sincerity, and promise generous treatment. Deputy City Lord Lu arranged for someone to choose a place in the city to build a craftsman shop in these areas as soon as possible, so that these things could be processed and produced as soon as possible, and then shipped to various branches for sale. ”

Lin Sen paused and continued: "This time I also found two kinds of grains, namely sweet potatoes and corn, these two grains are very adaptable, any field will grow, and the yield is also very high, the maturity time of sweet potatoes is relatively short, it can mature three times a year, the growth period of corn is relatively long, I brought back a lot this time, corn will be planted again in the spring of next year, sweet potatoes should be planted as soon as possible, and a stubble can be harvested." ”

"What's the matter, if not, let's go and run errands."

Lu Wen said: "Lord, the matter of ships, in the past few months, fifty medium-level warships have been built in the city, one hundred transport ships, and thirty fishing boats, the latter is okay, they are all used, and then fishing in the nearby rivers, but there is no naval commander in the army, and the qualified naval army cannot be trained, and the warships are idle, and how to arrange those transport ships, please decide the lord!" ”

"Hmm!" Lin Sen then remembered about the ship, and said: "It's really a waste, the transport ship is handed over to the Chamber of Commerce, and it can come in handy to go to business or transport materials, and it is much safer to take the waterway than to take the dry road, as for the warship, Wang Hua, is the person named Li Lin still doing business with us?" ”

"Yes, Li Lin's business is getting bigger and bigger now, and he is very active, but he almost didn't ask to meet the lord every ten days!"

"Okay, you go find him later, I have something to tell him!"

Lu Wen said again: "Lord, there is still one thing, a few days ago, a medicine collector came to the city, and his medical skills are very skillful, and he has treated many difficult diseases for the people in the city. ”

"Do you know who this gentleman's name is?"

"My subordinates asked, and they said that their surname was Hua." ……
