Chapter 133: The dazzling Liaozhou City

Five days, five days later, Liaozhou will be gathered.

At that time, the eighteen thorns of Hedong Province, the two governors will come.

Maybe that's not all, there will be a lot of noble people coming.

After all, it was the emperor's edict, and there should be no fewer responders.

Du Miaoyan looked at Fang Yuan worriedly, afraid that Fang Yuan would not be able to withstand the pressure.

"Zhang San, pass on the official order, and re-inspect the guest house to ensure that there are no problems when entertaining guests."

"Invite a few famous painters and order them to paint some landscape paintings on the wall of the State Guest House within three days to improve their aesthetics."

"Also, you told Lu Xia privately that the business will be closed for the past five days, so that she can come up with some nice names and increase the price of the State Guest House by five times."

Fang Yuan ordered.

The last sentence was whispered by pulling Zhang San into his ear.

"Yes, the next official will do it."

Zhang San breathed a sigh of relief and should leave.

Seeing that Fang Yuan was still thinking about money at this time, he was in a much more relaxed mood.

As Fang Yuan's confidant and the governor of the Assassin Mansion, he guessed that Pei Lian must not be simple to Liaozhou.

But Fang Yuan was not flustered, so he slowly relaxed his heart.

"Fang Yuan, isn't it too high to increase the State Guest House by five times?"

Du Miaoyan couldn't laugh or cry a little.

But he was no longer as worried about Fang Yuan as he was just now.

Fang Yuan can still think of making money at this time, there must be a solution.

It's just a five-fold increase, isn't it too high, specifically to dominate those high-ranking officials?

"It's not high, I still want to do ten times."

"Which of those assassins and governors is not from a famous family?"

"They are not short of money, and they are very willing to die, and the safety of the State Guest House can meet their needs."

Fang Yuan smiled indifferently.

Pei Lian's sudden arrival in Liaozhou was a stressful affair.

But for Fang Yuan, how was it not a huge opportunity?

Liaozhou City now has cement, toilets, soft mattresses, honeycomb coal, red bricks and so on.

It is only promoted in one city and three counties in Liaozhou, and Fang Yuan can't look at this amount of money, but what if the entire Hedong Road?

The arrival of these assassins and governors is invisibly a huge promotion, and it is also a high-level promotion.

I believe they can see the importance of cement roads, the convenience of toilets, the comfort of soft mattresses, the benefits of red bricks and so on.

As long as Pei Lin passes, Liaozhou will usher in another world, with more products exported and more talents attracted.

"You're right."

"Then I'll go back first, so I won't bother you with the arrangement."

Du Miaoyan thought about it and felt that it was the same.

It's expensive, but it's worth it.

The security that comes with a sturdy red brick wall is the security they want.

The more people are in high positions, the more they cherish their lives.

"Well, let's be in charge of entertaining when you arrive, and prepare tea for them."

"By the way, bring a message to Duhe and them, just say that the escort may be delayed for a few days."

Fang Yuan nodded.

He has a lot to do now.

Arrange to welcome Pei Lin and the governors of Hedong Province.

Arranging Pei Lian's arrival this time may be a response plan for himself.

"Okay."

Du Miaoyan had no opinion and left immediately.

She also wanted to participate and give Fang Yuan invisible support.

Subsequently, Fang Yuan held a meeting and called the three county magistrates.

In the conference room, everyone was sitting precariously, all looking at Fang Yuan with heavy faces.

"I believe everyone already knows that Pei Xiang will come to Liaozhou in person five days later, and all the assassins and governors of Hedong Province will go to Liaozhou City to greet Pei Xiang together."

Fang Yuan spoke slowly, his gaze sweeping towards the officials present.

Looking at their heavy faces, they should have received the news.

Those who can sit here have some background and their own networks.

"The greeting is mainly in Liaozhou City, but the other three counties should also pay attention, during Pei Xiang's stay in Liaozhou, if there are people in the counties who make trouble and are restless, etc., if you don't handle it well, the official will dismiss your official position afterwards."

Fang Yuan looked at Su Chen's several county orders and said in a deep voice

"Please rest assured!"

Su Chen and the others hurriedly responded.

At the critical moment, they did not dare to drop the chain.

"Is the cement road in your county completed?"

Fang Yuan nodded in satisfaction and asked.

"Liaoshan County has been completed!"

"Yushe County is nearing the end!"

"Pingcheng County is only halfway through construction."

Su Chen and the three replied and reported their respective situations.

"Step up construction, Yushe County will see if it can be built before Pei Xiang arrives."

Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.

The cement road is what Fang Yuan wants to promote the most this time.

But it's definitely not just a matter of giving money to build it, and it takes two or three years to build a road, to say the least.

"Yes."

Zhou Kaile said respectfully.

"After you go back, deal with any problems immediately, don't be seen by Pei Xiang and others."

Fang Yuan said again.

"Yes."

The three-county order should be.

"Five days later, you will also be greeted with the officer."

Fang Yuan said again.

"Yes!"

The three of them were stunned, and they should be excited.

Although it was to welcome Pei Lian, the assassins and governors of Hedong Province were there.

At this time, Fang Yuan was able to let them greet their faces together, which was a help to their careers, so he was excited.

"The issue of the welcoming ceremony in Liaozhou City, everything is simple."

"Pei Xiang is an old man, he probably doesn't like our extravagance and waste."

"Zhang San is in charge of this matter, and Qi Cao joins the army to cooperate, and he must implement the concept of this official."

Fang Yuan looked at Zhang San and the others.

Liaozhou this time is mainly to promote and make money.

Spending money to meet the enemy or something, that's impossible.

"Yes."

Zhang San and others should be.

Qi Cao didn't feel any problem when he joined the army.

They also felt that Fang Yuan was right, the old man Pei Lin should not like extravagance and waste.

"Wang Sigong, over there in the state academy, you have organized teachers and students, and you must also accompany you to greet you, and be sure to let Pei Xiang and Zhuzhou know that we also have our own academy in Liaozhou."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then looked at Wang Wenshu and commanded.

"Yes!"

Wang Wenshu was stunned for a moment, and then it should be.

It is indeed necessary to show Liaozhou College to the states.

Previously, among the eighteen states in Hedong Province, only two places in Puzhou had colleges.

Now that they also have an academy in Liaozhou, it is time to show it to the states.

The meeting continued until the afternoon.

At the beginning, Fang Yuan spoke, and then they spoke.

Public security, hygiene, welcoming ceremonies, and so on, were discussed.

At last

"Please clearly understand the importance of this greeting, if anyone falls behind at this time, this official will be held accountable afterwards."

Fang Yuan summarized and also warned.

I don't know what moves Pei Lin will make this time.

But if these officials in front of them dared to hold back, Fang Yuan would let them have no legs.

"Yes!"

Zhang San and the others should all be.

The meeting ended and everyone left.

Soon, the news of Pei Lian, the Duke of Wei, going to Liaozhou for an inspection was spread.

After learning that the reason for the investigation was the choice of the retirement place after Zhishi, the people of Liaozhou were boiling.

Being able to be elected as a retirement place by a national government is the pride of their Liaozhou and the pride of their Liaozhou people.

Moreover, this prince is also a very popular minister, he is the left servant of today's Shangshu, and he is the founder of the Tang Dynasty and the elder of the two dynasties, which makes the people even more proud.

Under the secret guidance of Fang Yuan's White Tiger Club, the news changed slightly: because of the governance of the current state honor, Liaozhou has changed greatly, so that Wei Guogong chose this place as the inspection point.

In this regard, most of the people of Liaozhou feel that this is the case.

Two days have passed.

Changsun Chong and the others did not escort cement to repair the Yellow River embankment for the time being, and were left behind by Fang Yuan.

Afternoon of the third day.

New faces began to appear in the city of Liaozhou.

The Assassins and Governors of Hedong Province and their retinues arrived one after another.

Among them, a mighty middle-aged man walked into Liaozhou City with a pair of children.

If Fang Yuan was here, he would definitely recognize the middle-aged man, it was Li Tao, who had a relationship with each other.

"Dad, this road is quite strange, but how do you feel that Liaozhou City doesn't look like welcoming Pei Xiang?"

Son Li Siwen asked.

This is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

A young man with the hard spirit of a soldier.

"Danqiu, what do you think?"

Li Tao did not answer, but asked the daughter on the left.

The daughter also dresses like a son-in-law, but she doesn't dress as a man.

And from its bumpy figure, it can also be seen that this is a girl.

"Dad, you didn't know why you asked me, did you?"

Li Danqiu rolled his eyes mischievously and looked at Li Tao.

Li Tao didn't respond, and smiled slightly, as if he was admitting.

"Yang Shufei told me that Pei Lin chose Liaozhou as the pension inspection point this time, mainly because he was dissatisfied with Fang Yuan, wanted to teach Fang Yuan a lesson, and maybe even stepped down."

"Then Fang Yuan seemed to know, and when he had a meeting with the officials of Liaozhou, he said that Pei Xiang was an old man, and he should not like extravagance and waste, and everything should be simple."

"Of course, Fang Yuan may not know."

Li Danqiu pouted, and whispered the news he heard to Li Tao and Li Siwen.

"Sister, why are you still on good terms with Concubine Yang Shu?"

"Didn't Dad tell us not to get too close to the royal family?"

Li Siwen said worriedly.

"Hmph, I'm a woman, what's the problem with approaching the palace concubine?"

Li Danqiu said disapprehantly.

"Oh."

Li Siwen opened his mouth.

"Danqiu, Siwen, Dad still owes Fang Yuan a favor, if you find any useful information, send someone to inform him."

Li Tao was positive at this time.

He stopped and looked at the highest place in the city, which was Fang Yuan's nine-story stargazing tower.

But from the outside world, no one knows that it is called a nine-story stargazing building, and they think that the appearance is very strange and surprisingly high.

"Dad, why haven't I heard you say that you owe Fang Yuan a favor?"

Li Danqiu asked curiously.

He also stopped and looked at the nine-story stargazing tower together.

Her clear eyes flashed with amazement.

"It was last time he helped his father exterminate the Taiyuan bandits."

Li Tao replied.

Then continue to wander around Liaozhou City.

"Dad, I feel like there's a treasure in that tall building, something very important."

Li Danqiu followed, whispering and cautiously.

"It's just a tall building, what treasure can it have."

Li Tao shook his head and said.

Stared at Li Danqiu vigilantly.

"Dad, you know my instincts are accurate!"

Li Danqiu whispered.

Li Siwen also leaned over his ears.

Her sister's instincts were very accurate, and they were frighteningly accurate.

For example, when he was a child, he played a game of hide, and he was found every time.

There were also several times when she was almost injured, but it was this sister who saved him from danger.

"That's the building in the Fang Mansion, Dad warns you not to covet it!"

Li Tao suddenly felt a headache and warned.

His daughter is very well-behaved and weird, and her intuition seems to be more accurate than ordinary people.

But this intuition also brought him a lot of trouble, for example, he once thought that there was a treasure in someone's ancestral grave, and dug up someone's ancestral grave overnight.

I found a few good things that were worth refining, but if I didn't have some prestige, I almost lost this daughter.

"I see."

Li Danqiu stuck out his tongue.

But the eyes are still on the nine-story stargazing tower.

"Siwen, take care of your sister!"

Li Tao knew his daughter's temperament, so he could only look at Li Siwen and say.

"Okay Dad!"

Li Siwen nodded solemnly.

Soon, the family visited most of Liaozhou City.

I also heard that Liaozhou City set up a state guest house as a place to welcome high-ranking officials from various states in Hedong Province.

"Hey, this wall is quite new!"

When Li Danqiu saw the wall of the guest house, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Good landscape paintings, adding a lot of bright colors to the guest house, and it is even more rare to see such a luxurious inn.

The overall layout gives people a special feeling, I have never seen this kind of strange inn before, like an inn in a manor.

"Hello three distinguished guests, this is the State Guest House."

"But our State Guest House is not open to the public for the past few days, and it is only used to welcome the officials of Hedong Province."

Lu Xia walked over, smiling and explaining to Li Tao and a few people who wanted to enter the State Guest House.

She has been checking the guest house for the past few days to see where there is still room for improvement.

"I'm the governor of the state, Li Tao."

Li Tao said indifferently.

"You, do you have any credentials?"

Lu Xia was stunned for a moment, and then said enthusiastically.

No one from Hedong Province has yet arrived, and Li Tao is the first, so he is a little surprised.

"This is my warrant."

Li Tao took out a token from his arms.

"Hello Li Dudu, welcome to Liaozhou, I am the manager of the State Guest House, Lu Xia, please enter."

Lu Xia took it and took a look, and returned it to Li Tao.

She didn't understand anything, but she knew that she would report it to the Assassin Mansion when she turned around.

At that time, officials will come to meet and confirm their identity.

"What do you mean by manager?"

Li Danqiu interjected on the side.

"It's about the same as the shopkeeper."

Green Summer responded enthusiastically.

Walking into the State Guest House with a few people, passing by the courtyard.

"How does it feel like a courtyard here, isn't your State Guest House an inn?"

Li Siwen asked curiously.

"It's a reinvention of the mansion."

"The state said that the inn is not only for residents, but also for guests to feel at home."

Midori Xia smiled and explained.

Soon, several people entered the lobby.

For example, the guest house in Wuling County is almost the same, and the first floor is empty, giving people a feeling of atmosphere.

Li Tao and the three of them looked at it, and once again felt that the State Guest House was different from other inns.

"Governor Li, wait a minute, I'll get three Liaozhou guides for the three of you."

Midori Xia confessed and walked in the direction of the counter.

There were two young girls waiting there, and Lu Xia brought them back with three Liaozhou guides.

Li Tao's father and daughter looked at the inside of the guest house, and they felt very satisfied for the first time.

"Li Dudu shouldn't have gotten the Liaozhou guide when he entered the city, right?"

"This is our guide to one city and three counties in Liaozhou, and it will only start to be distributed at the city gate tomorrow."

Green Summer gave each of them an illustrated manuscript.

Liaozhou's greeting of officials from the prefectures of Hedong Province will begin tomorrow.

"What is this Liaozhou guide for?"

Li Danqiu took it and asked curiously.

At the same time, I looked through the guide and looked at the records inside.

"This is a record of some scenic spots and important humanities in one city and three counties in Liaozhou."

"There are Chengbei Commercial Street, White Tiger Club, cement road, tea, red bricks, etc., all of which are introduced."

Lu Xia said kindly.

"Wow, Dad, this Fang Yuan is a talent."

"It has greatly facilitated us to be able to introduce the place under his jurisdiction in this way."

Li Danqiu's eyes flashed and he said in amazement.

With a Liaozhou guide in hand, it is as if you are familiar with Liaozhou.

In an instant, Li Danqiu had a sense of intimacy with Liaozhou, and he knew that he could go wherever he wanted.

And those cement roads, tea leaves, etc., she vaguely saw that there were endless business opportunities in them.

"It's really good."

Li Tao nodded heavily.

When he cooperated with Fang Yuan for the first time, he felt that Fang Yuan was not simple.

Now that he has been in indirect contact again, he feels even more that Fang Yuan is not a thing in the pool, and the future is not a position that can stop him.

At this time, Li Tao suddenly remembered that Zhao Yingcai, the assassin of Langzhou, had written to him, wanted to say a coal for Fang Yuan, and asked him if he had any ideas.

At that time, Li Tao was busy, Li Tao did not reply, and subconsciously felt that Fang Yuan was not worthy of his daughter, so he didn't give up.

Now, when the matter of welcoming Pei Lin has passed, you may be able to consider this aspect of the problem.

"That's right, our state is the best!"

"Three VIPs upstairs, please, our guest house has two ordinary rooms for one night, five rooms for one night, and ten rooms for one night, and I will take you to visit."

Lu Xia walked to the front and introduced politely.

But Li Tao's father and daughter immediately stopped leaving, and looked at her in surprise.

"Manager Luxia, the ordinary room costs two runs for one night, are you ripping off customers?"

Li Danqiu said speechlessly.

The tallest ordinary house in Chang'an City is not so expensive.

"Sorry, I haven't introduced a few VIPs yet."

"Our guest house provides hot water for 12 hours, and each room comes with its own toilet and soft mattress and honeycomb coal, and other high-quality services."

"The most rare thing is that our guest house is safe, and the wall of our guest house has been tested by Qin Huaiyu, the son of the Duke of Yiguo, and it took five times to barely break a small hole with a big hammer."

Lu Xia retreated, politely and enthusiastically explaining why it was expensive.

"You said, your guest house invited Qin Huaiyu to test?!"

Li Tao's father and daughter are even more uneasy.

As a general in the army, they know Qin Huaiyu's ability.

The wall of the guest house was able to withstand Qin Huaiyu's five bombardments before it was broken?

Moreover, Qin Huaiyu is the son of Yiguo Gong, in Chang'an City, he came all the way to Liaozhou City to do the test?

The father and daughter didn't believe it, feeling that Midori Xia was lying to them.

"It's about the son of the country, how dare I joke?"

"At that time, Miss Du Miaoyan, Du He's son, Changsun Chong's son, Cheng Chumo's son, and Yu Chi Baolin's son were all here, and they can testify."

Midori Xia said with a smile undiminished.

But I was still a little shocked in my heart.

Unexpectedly, those people turned out to be the sons of Guogong.

When Fang Yuan asked her to introduce this two days ago, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

"They are all in Liaozhou City?!"

Li Danqiu was surprised.

She knows all these people, the second generation of powerful people in Chang'an City.

If Lu Xia only said one Qin Huaiyu, she wouldn't believe it very much.

But when so many people say it together, it's certainly not a lie.

It's just that I didn't expect that the second generation of these powerful people are in Liaozhou City, what are they going to do?

"Yes, at the Royal Merchants."

Midori Xia answered truthfully.

"So, the State Guest House is worth the money?"

Li Tao still thinks the price is very high.

But with Qin Huaiyu personally testing it, he was already able to accept it in his heart.

"Yes."

"The service at our State Guest House is the best in the city and the highest level of security, especially for your status."

Lu Xia said confidently.

"Can you keep the account first?"

Li Tao nodded.

Ten times a night is expensive, but it's not that money, but they don't bring that much money.

"Yes."

"The state has an explanation, and the money for the housing during the welcome to Pei Xiang can be written down first, just sign a name."

Midori Xia laughed softly.

Then make an inviting gesture.

"Then let's have three supreme rooms."

Li Tao nodded and walked up the stairs.

Soon, the three of them chose three supreme rooms.

Green Summer is used in Li Tao's room for the tools of the three-person room.

When they saw the magic of the toilet, the father and daughter were amazed.

Soon, Midori Summer leaves.

The father and daughter experienced the soft mattress and honeycomb coal, as well as the safety of the wall.

"Dad, if these things are made by Fang Yuan, then this person is really not simple."

"I think, I feel like this guy is going to move the whole era!"

Li Danqiu sighed.

By the end, her voice trembled a little.

She has a very human instinct, and her feelings are much deeper than others.

Something as comfortable as a soft mattress is something that anyone who has experienced it wants to have.

Honeycomb coal is smokeless, extremely convenient for heating, and is expected to replace coal to be accepted by more people.

There is also a toilet, which is really, really much better than the latrine and the night pot, which is not a level at all.

"Danqiu, is it so exaggerated?"

Li Tao said calmly.

He just thought it was amazing and shocked.

But what to say to promote the development of the whole era, he did not have such thoughts.

"Sister, are you also looking too highly up on him?"

Li Siwen felt that his sister was exaggerating too much.

"I'm not sure if it's or not."

"Dad, I want to see Fang Yuan, you can help me find a way."

Li Danqiu shook her head and nodded again, but she wasn't sure.

Because I don't know if Fang Yuan made it, and I haven't seen Fang Yuan.

However, she wanted to see Fang Yuan very much at this time, and she had a feeling that she was going to open some kind of grand prize.

"It's not early, let's see you tomorrow."

Li Tao looked out the window and shook his head.

The window of the guest house room is also a little different from the window of other inns, it is about the same size, but it is embedded in it by an iron pillar to block people from entering and exiting, and the security is really high.

"Okay, see you tomorrow then."

Li Danqiu was a little disappointed.

But I also know that something is not appropriate now.

And I was a little tired all the way today.

Early the next morning.

There are three teams at the main gate.

One is a lane, which is used for the rapid passage of commercial transportation, one is for the routine inspection of the entry and exit of ordinary people, and the other is used to receive the governors and governors of the states of Hedong Province.

Next to this road stood a big sign: Welcome to Liaozhou from all states and governors.

There are also tables and stools next to it, and there are a bunch of Liaozhou guides and a register on the table.

Sito Liu Wenshi sat here in charge of registration, accompanied by a group of state officials.

From noon, there were Liaozhou thorn histories one after another, and after being registered by Liu Wenshi, the state officials brought them into the city.

From noon to noon, all the eighteen prefectures of Hedong Province and the two governors arrived, and all of them were escorted to the guest house.

In addition, there are many famous people from all over the world.

On this night, the State Guest House was very lively, but it was also very depressing.
