Hearing Yang Guang talk about the matter of the Construction Bureau, Li Yuan was uncharacteristic this time, and took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, you said a concept of the Construction Bureau last time, I don't know it very well, I hope you can say it more carefully." ”

Li Yuan's change Yang Guang saw it in his eyes and nodded slightly with great satisfaction.

In the past, Li Yuan was basically doing things passively, he did whatever Yang Guang arranged, only did what he did his duty, rarely put forward his own opinions, and did not show any intention of wanting to be promoted, but this time he changed, knowing that Yang Guang had changed his mentality and behavior after fighting for him in the palace for the position of Tang Guogong.

This kind of change is what Yang Guang wants to see, although Li Yuan will become his enemy in history, but after getting along with each other during this time, he understands that a person with Li Yuan's character, if it is not the end of the Sui Dynasty in history, the luck of the Great Sui is exhausted, and the world is full of heroes, plus the ambitious son, he will be a capable minister.

In fact, Li Yuan is recorded in the history books too weakly, in order to set off Li Shimin, in the impression of many people, Li Yuan is a weak image of a mediocre ability who can't handle his son.

But in fact, in history, when Yang Guangdong conquered, he was responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass, and was also ordered to calm the uprising, lead the troops to resist the Turkic attack, and finally served as the Taiyuan guard.

There is one of the biggest advantages of using someone like Li Yuan, Yang Guang doesn't have to test his ability.

Seeing Li Yuan's changes, Yang Guang said: "The purpose of the Construction Bureau is to build cities in various places in the future, let me ask you a question first, the Central Plains is big, thousands of miles from north to south, thousands of miles from east to west, the people are scattered on this land, the most prosperous place is called a city, what are the most prosperous cities on the Central Plains now?" ”

Li Yuan thought for a while: "Chang'an City, it should be said that Daxing City in the future is the first one without any accidents, Luoyang City is also very prosperous, it is said that the Jian'an City of the Chen Dynasty is also very prosperous, and even people say that it is more prosperous than Chang'an City, and the population is more, Jiangling in Xiliang should also be regarded as one, but I have never been to these two." ”

"The prosperity of the city must have characteristics, it is a transportation point, it is possible to be rich in water and grass, but the biggest reason should be the political center, where the royal court is located."

Yang Guang stood up and said: "Chang'an City, Jiankang City, Jiangling City are undoubtedly because of this reason, Luoyang City in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Wei, Western Jin Dynasty, Northern Wei Dynasty are all capitals, prosperity is also because of this reason, but in the future, there can only be one imperial city in the entire Central Plains, even if there are others, it can only be called the accompanying capital, and the role of the political center of these cities will be weakened." ”

Li Yuan frowned slightly: "Your Highness, I don't quite understand what you mean. ”

"I'm looking ahead, the land of Li Yuan's Central Plains is too big, it is too difficult for a royal court to sit in the imperial city and rule this land, the fastest news, from the northern and southern lines, even if it is urgent, it will take a few days, there is a real situation, sometimes the central government can not quickly issue instructions, so my analysis of the future situation of the Great Sui will be divided into several large areas, resulting in several political and military central cities located in the region, and the task of the Construction Bureau is to build these cities, just like Daxing City."

"There are distinctions between the states of the Great Sui, but it is impossible to say that each state can give birth to a huge city, this is unrealistic, the situation is different in various places, I will initially list the most developed places in the future of the Great Sui as the four major urban agglomerations, Daxing City and the eastern capital Luoyang are combined as the first major urban agglomeration, the biggest feature here is that these two huge cities will attract all the people of insight around, the two cities are far away, but the functions will be similar, the long cultural heritage and the administrative department provides a lot of work, this is the real center of the Great Sui Dynasty."

Yang Guang ordered people to bring up the map of the Great Sui, and then pointed to the land of Jiangling.

"The Jiangling area of Xiliang, here will not become a megacity agglomeration in the future, the status of Xiliang determines its function, it looks good now, it is because of the existence of the Xiliang regime, but you and I both know that the Xiliang regime will not exist for too long, my father has long been eyeing him, and the prince of Xiliang is still in Beijing."

Li Yuan nodded, once the Western Liang Kingdom was destroyed and the nobles fled, Jiangling would lose its former style.

Yang Guang put his hand on the area of Jiankang City in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, knocked on it and said: "Jiankang City, a prosperous place, water and fertilizer in the south of the Yangtze River, rouge willow, no matter when, this place can accommodate a big city, a city integrating agriculture and commerce. ”

Needless to say, Jiankang City naturally knows that Li Yuan himself knows it, but unlike Yang Guang's words, he is so confident that he can defeat Nanchen, Li Yuan knows very little about the army now, and he is even more uncertain whether he can defeat Nanchen.

Then Yang Guang's hand fell on the north, in the area of Youzhou.

"There should be a big city here."

"Your Royal Highness, Youzhou is Turkic to the north, Goguryeo to the northeast, no matter how you calculate, it is very dangerous here, once the enemy army attacks, Youzhou City has to face the enemy of foreign races, before the Yingzhou rebellion, the Turkic soldiers have already come to the city, Youzhou has always been a place of defense."

Yang Guang nodded: "This is a good statement, but Youzhou City is also an important gateway for our trade between the Turks and Goguryeo in the future." ”

"Huh?" Li Yuan didn't expect Yang Guang to say this.

"Turkic cattle and horses, mutton, are good commodities for us, especially the horses from the grassland, the value of horses can increase more than ten times when they arrive in Chang'an City, Goguryeo's ginseng is a good medicine, there are many rare and exotic beasts in the mountains, there are also a lot of people, and there are a lot of products they need, and there will be trade between the two sides sooner or later, don't be surprised."

"But Your Highness, we are at war with the Turks, and depending on Your Majesty's intentions, this time we are going to subdue the Turks."

"Yes, after being convinced, isn't it just time to do trade, I have planned four cities, but I feel that Youzhou City has the greatest potential for growth."

Finally Yang Guang landed his hand on the south side of the map, Guangzhou.

This is still the territory of the Chen Dynasty, but for Li Yuan, it is not well-known, and he does not even know if there is a city here.

"Your Highness, why is this place?"

"Do you know what it takes to go south to sea?"

"I don't know anything about the vast sea."

"The final answer to all internal contradictions."

Li Yuan didn't understand what it was, but Yang Guang didn't explain it either, and only said that he would tell him when the time came.

After telling Li Yuan about the planning of the huge four major urban agglomerations, Yang Guangcai turned the topic back to the Construction Bureau: "Even if these cities are re-planned on the old site, the amount of construction will not be small. ”

"Now there are countless craftsmen in Daxing City, a small number of them are extremely good, even if they are not excellent, at least such a big Daxing City has been done, and has accumulated experience, which is much stronger than those novices, and more efficient, you do the Construction Bureau to find out these people, and then sign an employment contract, and then these people are the workers of the Construction Bureau, don't worry about the lack of people and no place to use, this Daxing City must be built completely, at least enough to eat for ten years, and other urban construction will begin after ten years."

"In addition to craftsmen, those who sell houses, especially talents like Zhang Da, have joined the Construction Bureau, and they will all be skilled workers in the future, and it will be much easier to do things in an orderly and organized manner."

Li Yuan suddenly realized: "Your Highness, in this case, the Construction Bureau is a department that integrates the construction and sale of houses. ”

"Not only that, but also design and planning, what you have to do is not only to buy a house and build a house, but also to find a way for craftsmen to improve the tools of construction, design and build the style of the house, plan where to build what kind of function, all have to be done by this construction bureau, this will be a very large department, cousin, you are only sixteen years old, young and promising, and steady, I dare to hand over this matter to you, I dare to hand it over to others."

Li Yuan understood what Yang Guang meant, so he immediately said respectfully: "Your Highness, rest assured, Li Yuan will do his best." ”

"Okay, now the planning of Changle Fang is the first task I gave you, I have already ordered the bidding in the early stage, there have been a lot of bids, two days later is the agreed deadline, you have full authority to take over this matter, including the communication with Yu Wenkai, you are here, I am only watching from the side."

Li Yuan was a little embarrassed and embarrassed.

Yang Guang saw his embarrassment and said, "Cousin, what's wrong?" It doesn't seem to be very willing. ”

The young man's face flushed slightly: "I'm not afraid of His Highness's jokes, I haven't been to these places so far, I'm not afraid of hard work, I'm just afraid that I really don't have any experience in this matter." ”

Yang Guangguang was embarrassed: "You really haven't been to it once, you have always been to the restaurant." ”

"I've been to the restaurant, but His Royal Highness's Changle Fang, there are restaurants, green buildings, casinos, racetracks, I haven't been to these places, I really don't know at all, Your Highness also asks you to explain more to me."

"Uh...... That one...... I haven't been there either. ”

The two stared at each other, and the atmosphere was awkward and helpless for a while.

People can't give a comprehensive explanation of things beyond the scope of their own cognition, Yang Guang has been to Aomen, and knows what modern times are like, but this era is really unclear, and it is still necessary to adapt measures to local conditions.

Wang Yi came to inform at this time: "Your Highness, Yu Wenhua has arrived." ”

"It's just right, the leader is here, let's go, let's go for a walk and see what it's like."

"Your Highness...... This...... Not good. ”

"What's so bad?"

"Casinos, horse racing, green ...... Do you want to go to all the buildings? ”

"Don't worry, public money."
