Compared with the 25 years of hard work, it is faster to quickly equip the army and lead the troops to kill them. Yang Peng did not tell Wang Mingcheng about this. For Wang Mingcheng, the replacement of Hermes-Epitek in Liaodi has become the direction of his life. It is really not easy for a person like Wang Mingcheng, who has been tied to his family for half his life, to find a direction in life. Wang Mingcheng, who has been repeatedly tempered, will be able to entrust more important tasks in the future.

This is a good thing for the future development of Tianjing New Town. There will be gains and losses, and there will be gains and losses. It's just a matter of time. Looking at Wang Mingcheng's fleet that gradually disappeared into the sea, Yang Peng muttered in a low voice: "You go first, and when the time is ripe, let's lead the troops to kill ......."

"City Lord!" Zhao Jinxi suddenly appeared behind Yang Peng and bowed. Yang Peng turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" "The newly naturalized Han people have all been packed up. According to your orders, let them escort some goods by the way, ready to march to Dagou City at any time. "From the wharf of Tianjing New City to Dagou City, it is a hundred miles away. In order to dredge the trade route from Tianjing Wharf to Dagou City as soon as possible, Yang Peng planned to borrow the hands of the Liao Han people who were about to move to Dagou City, and escorted the goods to Dagou City.

Anyway, these manpower migrations are all idle, and they can just take advantage of it. Maybe such a trip can also inspire a small number of these people to have the mind of a businessman. Perhaps, the first batch of local merchants in Tianjing New City were born in the midst of this group of people. In short, it can be said that this is a matter of counting in one fell swoop. Hearing Zhao Jinxi's report, Yang Peng nodded and said, "This matter will be handed over to Duan Zhixian, let her lead the five thousand tiger group, take these people, and go on the road as soon as possible."

After returning to Dagou City, you can hand over these people to Yang Tong and order him to send people to settle them. I have always kept the granges around Dagou City, just to settle this group of people. At the same time, the order was passed down, and all the Han people who came from Liaodi in the future were placed in the periphery of the major cities.

In addition, Xie Tao was summoned here to temporarily act as the governor of Dagou Prefecture. Zhao Jinxi clenched his fists and took the order, retreated, and sent people to carry out Yang Peng's order as soon as possible. After receiving Yang Peng's order, Duan Zhixian did not hesitate, and immediately took 80,000 newly naturalized Han people on the road. These newly naturalized Han people are like two people from Liaodi Han people who came down from their clothes three days ago. When they disembarked, their eyes were blank, like walking corpses. At this moment, they were full of energy and radiance, and their eyes were full of hope.

Duan Zhixian took away the 5,000 Tiger Bentuan, and also took all the newly naturalized Han people. Yang Peng stayed at Tianjing Wharf, gathered the remaining 11,000 troops by his side, and took over the barracks stationed at Tianjing Wharf in Haibury. Everything is ready, just waiting for the arrival of the seamount. According to Jin Yiwei's secret recital, with these fifteen days of leisure, Yang Peng began to rectify the Tianjing Wharf.

The first thing Yang Peng rectified was the order on the Tianjing Wharf. Under the jurisdiction of Highbury, there was little order at the Tenkyo Pier. No one manages the market, no one collects taxes, and no one manages the murderous things. Yang Peng took the lead in letting people take over the entire Tianjing Wharf and start to establish order on the wharf again. The market on the wharf was carefully divided by Yang Peng. Merchants from other places can only enter the wharf from the east of the wharf, and all the goods are stored in the warehouse of the east wharf.

Large-scale transactions must be held in the trading hall of the temporary town of East Pier. All goods must be clearly priced, so that businessmen can clearly know the price of goods, shop around, and find out the goods they need as soon as possible. The entire process of the transaction is supervised by the trading hall, and once the transaction is completed, the tax must be paid in full. The middle end of Tianjing Wharf is planned by Yang Peng as a commercial street for rest, eating and entertainment, where all businessmen can rest.

At the same time, the money bank, which was officially renamed Tianjing New Town Money Bank Tianjing Wharf Branch, is also located in the middle of this commercial street. The money bank guaranteed by the reputation of Tianjing New City is far more secure than the money bank guaranteed by the regional reputation. After figuring out the role of the money bank, the merchants fell in love with the place. A small number of merchants, after understanding the nature of the money bank, have begun to try to deposit money in the money bank.

Most of the businessmen are still waiting. After all, most of these businessmen are foreigners, and it is more reassuring to keep their money in Tianjing New Town than to bring it back to their own homes. Yang Peng understood the mentality of the merchants, so he did not force these people to save money. There are still days to come! Only by letting these people truly realize the benefits of money banks and the credibility of money banks can they save money with confidence.

The large amount of taxes received every day, and the truckloads of them are sent to the money bank for storage, which is enough for these businessmen to build up confidence in the money bank as soon as possible. To the west of the wharf, a large open area was planned by Yang Peng as a gathering place for scattered businessmen. Many people can set up their stalls boldly after paying a certain booth fee here. The entire West Pier is arguably the liveliest place on the pier, like a big bazaar.

The planning of the marina is done. The formulation of commercial law also slowly took shape in Yang Peng's mind. Yang Peng was afraid that he would not have enough knowledge, so he disguised himself as a small tax officer, wandering around the dock all day long, pulling merchants and customers to chat. From their mouths, we can understand which commercial law is more beneficial, which commercial law is more reasonable, and which commercial law is fairer.

wandered for ten days, and also sent his Jinyi guards to wander for ten days. When all the information was summarized in front of Yang Peng, there were tens of thousands.

Yang Peng recruited the manager of the money bank, and the two of them hid in the house, relying on their respective knowledge, among the more than 10,000 commercial laws, they selected more than 130 feasible commercial laws.

The commercial law of Tianjing New City was thus established. These more than 130 commercial laws are basically very simple and basic things. Far less detailed than later commercial laws. Even so, after the promulgation of these commercial laws, they also attracted a lot of cheers from businessmen. In fact, businessmen are the group of people who like to break the law the most; At the same time, they are also a group of people who are most fond of law. Breaking the law is to get more benefits. They like the law because it protects their property.

The 130 commercial laws have been unanimously approved by merchants and customers. Yang Peng immediately wrote a document, sent the formulated commercial law to Dagou City, and Tianjing New Town, and asked Lin Qinger to implement the Tianjing New City area in the name of the prime minister. With the establishment of commercial law, the chaotic Tenkyo Wharf, which was originally tossed by Highbury, has become orderly and vibrant. Foreign businessmen are also full of confidence in this newly established Tianjing New Town.

After the commercial law was established, Yang Peng entrusted the rest of the matters to Xie Tao, the agent of Dagou Mansion, who came quickly. For Xie Tao, an official fan, he was so happy to be able to grasp the authority of a place all of a sudden. Even though he hurried up for days, Xie Tao didn't feel tired. After arriving at Tianjing Wharf, I immediately entered the working state. Yang Peng successfully became the shopkeeper.

In the blink of an eye, the fifteenth day has passed. Just as Yang Peng was drinking wine in the small courtyard where he temporarily stayed, Zhao Jinxi hurriedly came to report. Most of them are macro regulations. For example, the regulations concerning businessmen are only a simple sentence. The private property of the merchants, sacrosanct. Foreign businessmen, as long as they pay taxes in accordance with the tax law, enjoy the same rights and interests as nationals of Tianjing New Town. That's what it is.

Another part of the law of Tenkyo New City is the law of expansion. On the basis of the Basic Law, more detailed laws were formulated. It states that it is illegal to do anything...... The expansion method quickly spread and was issued.

The local people were also immediately organized in various places to gather together to listen to the old Confucian scholars give them the law of Tianjing New Town. For a while, Tianjing New Town fell into an environment where he was working and studying the Fa at the same time. Yang Peng was also in a temporary courtyard at Tianjing Wharf, carefully watching the expansion method sent from Dagou City.

After reading carefully, if you encounter something unreasonable, you will use a red pen to make a cross on it, and if you encounter something to be discussed, you will draw a circle on it. The law is a very strict thing, and there is no room for carelessness. Yang Peng must be cautious.

"Kick and kick ......" A rush of footsteps sounded in Yang Peng's ears, Yang Peng frowned, and said unhappily: "Zhao Jinxi, you are the most calm on weekdays, why are you so panicked today?" "Today's Zhao Jinxi temporarily commands the Jinyi Guard, because the Jinyi Guard is Zhang Yan's old department, and there are more things on weekdays, so Zhao Jinxi usually wears the exclusive armor of the Jinyi Guard, and sits in the Jinyi Guard.

Jin Yiwei walked quickly in front of Yang Peng, hugged his fists and said: "Qiqi City Lord, according to the news from his subordinates, the temporarily built Dagou Mansion Yamen was surrounded by a group of people...... Yang Peng put down the expansion method in his hand, a little incredulous, "Who is so bold that he dares to openly besiege the Mansion and the people of Shanhaizhai?" The people of the brocade guard? Zhao Jinxi shook his head and said: "No, it's a group of businessmen, what is the specific purpose, and the subordinates are still investigating." ”

Yang Peng nodded thoughtfully, "The businessmen dare to gather to besiege the government, there should be a big event, since you don't know what happened, then send someone to watch carefully, and report it as soon as there is news." In addition, some more people will be dispatched to secretly protect the safety of the people of Dagou Mansion. Now it is the time for the DPRK and China to employ personnel, and there is no room for loss. ”

Zhao Jinxi clenched his fists, "My subordinates will do it." As soon as Zhao Jinxi left, Yang Peng summoned a herald and told him to go to the Yamen of Dagou Mansion and pass Xie Tao back and forth. The place where Yang Peng lives is not far from the Yamen of Dagou Mansion. The herald rushed to the yamen of Dagou Mansion, saw that the front door was blocked, and entered through the back door, and then informed Xie Tao, who was in a hurry, of Yang Peng's summons. When Xie Tao heard Yang Peng's summons, he was full of thoughts, and after carefully dressing his official uniform, he rushed to the small courtyard where Yang Peng was.

As soon as he entered the door, Xie Tao hurriedly bowed down and saluted, "Minister Xie Tao, see the city lord." Yang Peng lazily lay on the chair, waved his hand, and said, "Don't be polite, find a place to sit down." Xie Tao said in fear: "The minister doesn't dare to ......" Yang Peng slowly sat up, stared at Xie Tao, and wondered: "Are you very nervous?" Why the nervousness? ”

Xie Tao immediately was sincerely frightened, lowered his head, and shouted with his fists: "The minister has the trust of the city lord, and he has just taken office, and he was blocked by someone to block the yamen." Yang Peng was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I don't blame you for this, a year and a half ago, you were just a small sesame official, and in just one and a half years, you crossed over the county and the prefecture, and crossed all the way to the position equivalent to the prefect." Others need decades of hard labor, but you only go through a year and a half. In terms of experience and the way of government, it is inevitable that there will be some shortcomings. Therefore, it is understandable that you have made some mistakes. ”

Hearing Yang Peng's words of relief, Xie Tao's nervous mood relaxed a lot, and he hugged his fists and said gratefully: "The city lord has the grace of knowing the minister, and now he has entrusted the minister with important tasks. The ability of ministers to govern themselves is lacking. When I go back, I will study diligently. Strive to become a useful person in the hands of the king as soon as possible. Yang Peng asked Xie Tao to sit down, and Xie Tao did not refuse, and sat down under Yang Peng. Yang Peng said: "The way of government, it is not difficult to say, and it is not easy to say. Books alone cannot truly understand the way of government.

In fact, learning is only secondary, learning is some means and strategies, and improving is wisdom. But the real way of government is in the people. In normal times, you should go out and walk more, and communicate more with the people of Dagou Mansion and past businessmen. "Understand the deep needs of the people and businessmen. In the same way, it is necessary to rationally judge their needs, which are really beneficial to everyone, and which are private messages.

In the long run, you will know what the people in this big ditch house need. You just have to figure out how to solve their problems and help them solve them. If you want to be a good official, you must put yourself in the right position. This country is like a big restaurant, the emperor is like the owner, the prime minister is like the shopkeeper, the officials in Dagou City are like the back kitchen, and you officials who are outside are equivalent to the shopkeepers.

And in this restaurant, the real guests are the people. Do you understand? Yang Peng's voice was bland. But his words were like a surging storm, subverting the worldview that had existed in Xie Tao's heart for more than 20 years.

"Castle Lord...... The city lord ......" "Gollum ......" "City lord, are you joking?" According to your meaning, we, the officials, and even the royal family, are serving the people? ”

Yang Peng stretched out his hand, "Otherwise?" Xie Tao gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice: "Impossible, the official is an official master, and he is naturally a head taller than the people." We are the ones who help the people and make decisions, not the people who serve them. ”

Yang Peng shook his head and smiled, "If there are no people in this world, who will you go to be a head taller?" Also, is there a difference between helping the people to be the masters and serving the people? In my opinion, it's just a difference in name. "This ......" Xie Tao wanted to refute, and he wanted to refute loudly.

He wanted to tell Yang Peng that in the Great Song Dynasty, officials were people. The people are just lowly embryos in the field. But he didn't dare say it. Because, once he said it, he violated Article 2 of the Basic Law of Tianjing New Town. All men are created equal, regardless of whether they are high or low. Seeing that Xie Tao was silent, Yang Peng did not continue to chase him to discuss the problem. Yang Peng tasted the tea on the table, and waited until Xie Tao calmed down before continuing to speak, "We talked about it just now, and we almost missed the right thing." I sent you here this time to find out what happened to the merchants at Tianjing Wharf who were besieged at the gate of the government? ”

Xie Tao clenched his fists and said: "The minister was about to report this matter to the king, a few days ago, Lord Wang, from the Liao country, exchanged a lot of Liao Han people, and transported them back to our Tianjing New Town. These Han people from Liaodi, after entering our Tianjing New City, were generously blessed by the city lord. When these businessmen saw it, they had some thoughts in their hearts...... "What thoughts?" Xie Tao muttered: "First, the businessmen ran to the yamen to ask, they wanted to join the Tianjing New City hometown, but they didn't know what the conditions were. Will it be like the Han people in Liaodi, get 111 acres of fertile land?

Second, the businessmen found a business opportunity through the affairs of Lord Wang. They wanted to transport the grain from Tianjing New City to Liao, and then exchange it for some Han people in Liao, and then transport it back. They want to know if I have any intention of buying these Hermes-Epiteks. Yang Peng tapped his eyebrows with his index finger, thinking about it, "A very smart plan...... "How to say it?" Xie Tao was puzzled. Yang Peng smiled: "First of all, in the current era, most businessmen exist in the form of families. Those who can go abroad to do business will have a larger family business and a more diverse population.

If they choose thousands of people at home, settle in my Tianjing New Town, and join the Tianjing New Town household registration. Got 111 acres of fertile land. Then the fertile land in their hands can quickly accumulate thousands of acres. Secondly, there is a shortage of grain in Liaodi, which is a well-known thing. When they transported grain to Liaodi, they could naturally easily exchange it for the corresponding Han people in Liaodi. These Han people were rescued from the fire pit by them, and naturally obeyed them.

When the time came, these Han people were rewarded with land, and in the end they became the pockets of these merchants. The merchants not only made money from the sale of the Han people in Liaodi, but also earned their land. It's a win-win-win-win-win plan. When Xie Tao heard this, he gritted his teeth and said: "These businessmen are really cunning, we should find a way to thwart their treacherous schemes." ”

Yang Peng shook his head slowly, "People didn't steal or rob, they made money with their ability and intelligence, and it was reasonable to make money." According to the law of my Tianjing New City, as long as people pay enough business taxes, we will protect them. Xie Tao said unwillingly: "How can this be reasonable, do you just watch them make a lot of money?" Yang Peng smiled, "Don't worry, don't worry, isn't this that you haven't promised them yet, and they haven't earned it yet?" Xie Tao said in a deep voice: "But the subordinates look at the meaning of the city lord, and they seem to have the idea of agreeing to them." ”

"You see that?" "City Lord, don't make fun of your ministers." Yang Peng narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "There must be no way to stop this matter, with these businessmen joining, Wang Mingcheng's pressure will be lighter." In addition, the number of citizens of Tenkyo New Town can also be rapidly expanded.

This matter not only cannot be stopped, but also encouraged. It's just that the small means they came up with similar to land annexation should find a way to restrain it. Hmmm......"

Yang Peng lowered his head and pondered. How can we restrain the land annexation that the merchants are secretly planning without suppressing their enthusiasm?

Yang Peng thought about it for a long time, for a long time...... Suddenly, he looked up, and his face was full of smiles. "The city lord has a way?" Xie Tao had been waiting beside Yang Peng, and when he saw the expression on Yang Peng's face, he knew that Yang Peng must have a way. Yang Pengle smiled and said, "It's not a clever way. Their conditions can be agreed, but the Han people who returned from the Liao region cannot be exchanged for gold and silver. It can only be handed over to the government, and in return, we can give them a certain reduction or exemption from commercial taxes......"

"A tax cut on business can thwart their plans?" Xie Tao was a little stunned, "Why do you think that this is fueling their prestige?" Yang Peng said with a smile: "Use your brain, the Han people in Liaodi were collected by the government in the form of replacing taxes." Then these people are the people of the government, and they have nothing to do with those merchants.

When the time comes, the settled merchant families will be separated from the Han people in Liaodi. One to the south, and the other to the north. Their conspiracy can be easily foiled. Xie Tao complimented: "The city lord's means are extremely high, so that the problem of land annexation can indeed be avoided." Yang Peng sighed: "To be honest, I don't care about land annexation. It's just that land annexation is an inherent atmosphere in the Great Song Dynasty. Even with this atmosphere, there is another atmosphere. is that the people of the Great Song Dynasty like to eat more and occupy more in their own homes, but they have no pioneering spirit at all.

The vast land is vast, and these lands can be left to our gallops, and we cannot rest on our laurels. The reason Yang Peng said was simple, but Xie Tao couldn't turn the corner in his head. In the end, Yang Peng simply asked Xie Tao to do what he said, without asking more. Yang Peng stayed at Tianjing Wharf for more than three months, and he told Xie Tao about the development of Tianjing Wharf. Tianjing Wharf, and even the entire Dagou Mansion, Yang Peng has high hopes.

A coastal commercial city with a unique geographical location and generous policy support. It is believed that Tianjing Wharf will prosper rapidly in a short period of time. At the same time, it can also drive the commercial development of the entire Tianjing New Town, and rapidly enhance the strength of Tianjing New Town.

The basic tone for the future development of Tianjing Wharf, Yang Peng has already formulated it for Xie Tao. Xie Tao is not allowed to do too much, he just needs to follow the plan formulated by Yang Peng and complete it step by step. After settling down at Tianjing Wharf, Yang Peng embarked on the return journey back to Tianjing New Town.

However, Yang Peng did not rush all the way back to Tianjing City, but traveled more than 1,000 miles along the east line of Tianjing New Town, carefully inspecting the development of the eastern part of Tianjing New Town. The imperial court of Tianjing New City encouraged farming, coupled with the superior geographical location and the introduction of some advanced agricultural tools improved by Yang Peng. The grain production in the fields of the people of Tianjing New Town is increasing steadily.

Among them, some farms or cities with Han nationality have countless grain production in the fields. In just two grain production seasons, the grain produced in the eastern part of Tianjing New Town alone is enough to supply the people of Tianjing New Town for a year, and the remaining grain is enough to sell to the Great Song Dynasty. In addition to the high yield of corn, the yield of nearly 3,000 catties per mu. Standing on the ridge of the farmland, Yang Peng picked a rice ear casually, looked at the vast field, and couldn't help but sigh.

If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
