Ziyang County, in the past, Jialin Mansion was the most remote, the least valued, and even discriminated against, in the mountain pass into Ziyang, there was also stationed in the pass, although it was the territory of the empire, but in fact it was just a gathering place for barbarians, and it has always been the distribution place of civil officials.

However, since the beginning of last year, Ziyang County has changed its appearance one day, the former county town, but the stone fence of Zhangba, can barely be called the city wall, the city gate in the middle, but Zhangxu, Zhang Gao, even the passage of horse-drawn carriages can cause the city gate to be blocked, the street is just a solid layer of soil, although it is quite wide, but it is dusty on a sunny day, rainy day, and muddy puddles all over the ground.

The poor and sour appearance is not as good as some ordinary towns, and in the county town, it is a low house, which has no beauty at all, it is better like a pigsty for raising pigs, and the windows and tables are all considered a thought, and they can shelter from the wind and rain even if they are houses.

is such a dilapidated county town, and with a stroke of Leng Zhuo's pen, the demolition and reconstruction work began.

Leng Zhuo is a modern architect, although he graduated from a second-rate academy and can't even find a job, he can be regarded as a master architect in this other world, and it can't be said that Leng Zhuo is more powerful than an architectural designer in another world, but he is better in concept.

said it, Leng Zhuo dared to think and do, who made him the uncrowned king of Chuzhou.

Considering the factor of the tunnel in the mountains, the future prosperity of Ziyang County can be imagined, so this city is to be big first of all.

In the 100,000 mountains, it is a cornucopia of rich resources, but during this period of time, in addition to the large copper mine found, a tin ore was also discovered, which is near the copper vein, and the exploration of this copper mine, this is a huge rich mine, and almost dozens of miles of the area nearby are mine groups.

Although Longshou Castle has some market functions, it is more of a defense, and it is built as a fortress in the mountains, so Ziyang County Town will be an important addition to Longshou Castle, and there will not be too many people who plan to live in the mountain for a long time.

Therefore, in addition to a large trading market and residential area, Ziyang must also have an area dedicated to smelting ore.

Considering various factors, Leng Zhuo finally finalized the construction plan of Ziyang County, with the twin cities, the east city as the residential area, the west city as the smelting area, and the corridor between the two cities as a trading market.

The 20,000 barbarian slaves who rebuilt Dawan City were dispatched, and these barbarian slaves are now considered to be construction experts and can be regarded as cultivated, and in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of these barbarian slaves, Leng Zhuo also promised these barbarians that as long as the Twin Cities are built, they will be given freedom.

Although these slaves had long been accustomed to the life of slaves, they were still full of energy to get rid of their slave status and began to build a new city.

Naturally, the Southern Li tribe will not miss this opportunity to build its own city, but most of the warriors of the Southern Li tribe have joined the Panlong Legion, and there are only less than 3,000 young men in the tribe, which is a drop in the bucket for repairing the city.

However, at Leng Zhuo's suggestion, Nan Libo quickly got the hang of it, with more than 2,000 soldiers and horses, equipped with the armor and weapons provided by Leng Zhuo, and began to launch a battle of conquest against some nearby barbarians.

More and more people are available, and the continuous opening of the mountain also allows a steady supply of stones, and a main street is the first to be built, which looks like an I-shaped shape, and then demarcates the approximate scope of the city wall, and divides the land into blocks, first repairing the street, and then focusing on the construction of Xicheng, which is a copper smelting center in the design, and is considered an industrial area

As for Dongcheng, I believe that as long as the tunnel is opened, Leng Zhuo is getting a promotion association, and Dongcheng can be built without spending a penny, and even earn a large amount of land transfer fees.

Seven or eight smelting furnaces were built first, and a lot of ore mined from the copper mines had been piled up, Leng Zhuo personally supported the firing ceremony, and there was also a large mint yard built along with the smelting furnaces, which was located next to a river that flowed through the city, although the river was not wide, but the water was very abundant, just to provide power for the water-driven collision machine.

Large-scale mechanization Leng Zhuo can't do it, but some simple machine principles Leng Zhuo knows, and this kind of not too complex machine is naturally not much difficult, and the efficiency of manual and machine is completely different.

There is also a mint factory in the red clay city, but because only iron ore is produced nearby, and the coins are all minted using recycled old coins, the scale is not large, and it cannot meet the demand at all, so on the ground in Chuzhou, although there is a unified gold ticket, the silver ticket is in circulation, but most of the copper coins and silver coins are still full of money with different regulations, and there are not many good colors.

In addition to the state-owned mint, some wealthy families who own copper mines will also try to mix it, and there are strict regulations for private mints in the early days, such as how much is allowed to be minted each year, and the money minted should be in a few fine, which needs to be officially inspected, and then according to a proportion, it will be acquired by the empire and then circulated, but with the local **, these policies have gradually lost their effectiveness, resulting in the use of different money in different parts of the empire.

Now that the world is in turmoil, Leng Zhuo doesn't have many scruples, as long as he doesn't rebel, the matter of minting coins is not a big deal, at least no one will use this to find Leng Zhuo's unhappiness, at least not at the moment.

"My lord, the first furnace of copper water has been sent to the minting workshop, and the first batch of copper coins will be produced in a while!" Leng Zhuo occupied Chuzhou, so he could naturally call on all kinds of resources in Chuzhou, such as the craftsmen of some state-run mints.

"I'm waiting, if this batch of copper coins is qualified, every craftsman can receive a hundred gold tickets as a reward, and you, as the owner, will be rewarded with five hundred!" Leng Zhuo was in a difficult mood and was happy, there was nothing more profitable in this world than making money.

As long as the scale of this minting workshop expands, Leng Zhuo is equivalent to having a steady stream of money-making machines, and as long as the new coins are of good quality, they can impact the local market.

After waiting for a long time, a craftsman walked out of the workshop with a large tray: "My lord, the first batch of copper coins has been made, and the quality is one of the best in the copper coins I have ever seen, and even the Shenwu Tongbao is inferior to two points in terms of beauty, once this kind of money is implemented, it will definitely be able to occupy the market!"

Leng Zhuo smiled, lifted the red silk on the plate, and entered the copper coin with blue in a piece of gold, the outer circle and the inner square, and in the area between the square circle, there is a coiled dragon, and on the back, it is engraved with the four words of Ping An Tongbao, the color of the new coin is very bright, and it is a machine stamper, so the coin surface is smooth and clean, and it is much better than the copper coin made of the soil mold method.

The most important thing is the efficiency of the mint, as long as the materials can keep up, the energy will continue to produce copper coins, and this plate is about fifty, and as the scale of this mint expands, you can imagine how much revenue there is.

This kind of dragon coin is also divided into two kinds by Leng Zhuo, the ratio between small dragon coins and silver coins is one to hundred, and the big dragon coin is one to twenty, temporarily set these two.

"Very well, your task is to assemble a few production lines, and then do your best to mint this new coin for me, anyway, the more you make, the better!"

Leng Zhuo is not under pressure now, he doesn't know the price of firewood and rice, the war has only passed for more than a year, and it is far from erasing the wounds caused by the war, and for the locality, it is more tax-exempt in order to recover, fortunately, Leng Zhuo opened the commercial tax, and almost all of Chuzhou's finances are supported by this commercial tax, and a golden river accounts for seventy percent of the tax revenue.

However, with the gradual recovery of the Tianhe waterway, the status of the Jinhe River in the future will gradually decline, after all, compared with the advantages of the Tianhe, the Jinhe River is far behind, and the Jinhe River is located in the border area, which is not rich in the vicinity, but only because of the war to rise, and the traditional commercial developed areas are on both sides of the Tianhe River, and these areas are not so easy to be replaced.

With the support of Leng Zhuo, Sophia became the main sacrifice of the Dali tribe, and the Dali tribe is naturally based on the Southern Li tribe, plus those conquered small tribes, and tens of thousands of barbarian slaves, but the worship of the new gods is not achieved overnight, this needs to change slowly, but it has made a start, and I believe that this fire will soon burn the prairie fire.

In the fifth or sixth year of the empire, spring and summer were like the scorching temperature, spent in the bustle and hustle, and in the first half of the year, the situation in the northern land became clearer and clearer.

The thirty-fifth emperor of the Tianlong Dynasty, Situ Ming, was nicknamed Huiyuan after the collapse, and completed the national funeral, and this name is obviously a rather mediocre name among the emperors of the Tianlong Dynasty.

Situ Ming ascended the throne from 557 to 560, and reigned for three years, but his achievements were not much, but because he launched the battle for the dragon, the princes from all walks of life supported their own troops, which led to the failure of the encirclement and suppression of the Tang Dynasty, which led to a lot of criticism, and in addition to this, this emperor is rarely remembered in history.

When one emperor dies, another emperor will ascend the throne, and after the three months of Situ Ming's national mourning, Situ Hao's inauguration as the new emperor has passed a cabinet resolution, and at the same time, the collapse of the Youzhou army, which has been attacked by the enemy, is finally inevitable.

The Youzhou army was divided internally, the generals who threw themselves to Situ Hao's side suddenly attacked, the third prince Situ Yun died in the chaos, Zuo Yuhou broke his arm and fled, Zuo Yufeng led his troops to break out of the encirclement, and the Youzhou Phoenix Army was less than 8,000 left, and in the predicament, he took refuge in the Tang army.

Situ Hao seized the military power of Youzhou, his strength was unprecedentedly inflated, and he did not continue to exert force in Youzhou, but stuck to the place, and Situ Hao led the troops back to Gyeonggi again, preparing to take over the throne.
