114. Kunshan Town
"Your Highness, do you want to bring some people? after all..."
Wei Er came to Kunshan Town to perform a mission, and his performance was much better, and after being shocked for a moment, he remembered his own work, and said to Li Tianming with some apprehension. Looking at 1 Mao, 2 lines, 3 Chinese networks, after all, the northwest has just experienced turmoil, and it is understandable that Wei Er has doubts.
"No, too many people will ruin the harmony between the clouds, just let the grandmothers keep up. ”
Li Tianming pondered for a moment and then vetoed Wei Er's words, for the only place that existed in his heart and was recognized as the most beautiful place in the world, Li Tianming didn't want to destroy too much.
Last time, it was just my mother and myself, and my father didn't seem to have seen him a few times since he was born. This time, bringing Li Lingyun's sister and brother plus the personal maid is already beyond the standard, not to mention adding more than 20 grandmothers, so many people have entered the Caiyun room, Li Tianming doesn't know what changes it will bring.
But if there is a chance, Li Tianming naturally hopes to maintain the balance between the clouds, after all, it was the most pleasant time with his mother in his memory, leaving countless memories of his own.
"Well, in this way, the subordinates will bring people to the barracks to wait for His Highness's return!"
Wei Er naturally yearns for Li Tianming's solemn Caiyunjian, but he doesn't dare to disobey Li Tianming's order at all, after all, he knows who brought him today's powerful position.
This small town called Kunshan is the only gathering point at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, which is said to be a small town, but the population size is not inferior to that of Yunbei City.
After all, Kunlun Mountain not only has the inheritance of ancient immortals, but also has countless resources as the first ancestral vein in China.
Not to mention medicinal materials and the like, it is rumored that there is also the inheritance left by the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Ancient Ages, as well as other resources.
Such as fairy gold, such as mineral veins, such as various magic weapons, cheats, etc., this has also caused everyone in the world to be eager to explore Kunlun Mountain. Look.Mao.Line.Chinese.Text.Net
Therefore, considering that blocking is better than sparse, the predecessor Li Xuanji established such a small town at the foot of Kunlun Mountain to maintain order and let all parties communicate with each other.
And from the very beginning, he made a rule, first, that no one should use force in the city, and second, that no race in the city should be the same and there should be no discrimination.
Li Xuanji naturally has the limitations of the times, and he doesn't attach so much importance to business, but as a person, he can naturally see the great value of this place.
Therefore, under these two rules, fairness can also be guaranteed to a large extent, and fairness is also what businessmen in this era need most, at least they don't have to worry about the danger of their lives.
Because Li Xuanji deliberately wrote to the ancestor in order to protect the Li family's right to speak, he set up a guard office here, which belonged to the Li family.
In this way, having an army in place can not only protect the interests of the Wei Wangfu, but also enjoy the rich benefits brought by the skyrocketing business transactions.
Li Xuanji wrote to become an ancestor, and the condition for Kunshan Town to set up a guard station was that from now on, the military expenditure of the Northwest would not depend on the imperial court, and the Northwest itself would be responsible.
Chengzu was busy with the Third Northern Expedition at that time, and after careful consideration, he thought that reducing military spending in the northwest would be beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, so he agreed.
In the face of numerous controversies, Li Xuanji levied a commercial tax on Kunshan Town, which later proved to be a wise move.
Finally, because of the fair business environment, it has become a unique shopping mall in the world, so the expanding Kunshan Town has experienced the pressure in the early stage, providing countless financial resources for the northwest.
It not only completely solves the military expenditure of the northwest, but also allows the northwest to have surplus money to invest in the rest of the construction.
This was not only something that Cheng Zu, who lacked military funds at the beginning, did not expect, but also Li Xuanji, who died in the Third Northern Expedition, did not expect.
It is also because of the solid foundation laid by Li Xuanji, the major chambers of commerce, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Western Regions, and even the caravans in farther places have great enthusiasm for this place.
After all, under Li Xuan's great system, there is still a strong army to defend it, so the only choice for any force in this place is to obey.
Therefore, under the order and security, the scale of Kunshan Town has been expanded again and again, and finally reached the scale of Yunbei City, forming a city that can accommodate millions of people.
However, unlike Yunbei City, which is mostly composed of long-term residents, the population of Kunshan Town is mostly floating population.
This place not only has a trading organization represented by various forces, but also serves as the first stop of the Silk Road to the Western Regions.
Therefore, it can be seen that the prosperity of Kunshan Town, if you talk about commercial value, even far exceeds Yunbei City.
In such an important place, tax revenue accounts for one-tenth of the three northwestern provinces. And the importance of the Weiwang Mansion is naturally not comparable to the rest of the place.
Not only did Kunshan Town be set up as a town directly under the jurisdiction of Weiwangfu, but also deliberately upgraded the grade of the town guard and the town to the fourth grade, which can be compared with the Yunbei Zhizhou.
More importantly, this place is directly under the jurisdiction of the Wei Wangfu, and the selected people are all the elite of the Northwest Army, and their loyalty and ability are all the best choices to protect this place and protect this source of wealth.
Inherited from now on, Kunshan Town is naturally more prosperous than when Li Xuanji was alive.
To be able to have such a scale, it must have been something that Li Xuanji could not have imagined at the beginning.
But all this is the case for Li Tianming, a city with a population of tens of millions Li Tianming has not been seen before, and the more important layout is much more reasonable than what is in front of him.
It's just that Li Tianming didn't have that mind at the moment, and after giving the order, he got out of the carriage and went in the direction of his memory.
Li Lingyun and Li Zheng naturally want to keep up with the footsteps of their brothers, and the personal maids of several people are no exception, as for the grandmother who has been walking for half an hour, although the people are a little tired, they have no right to speak when the master has spoken, so they have to follow as much as they can.
Fortunately, each personal maid has space and equipment to put down the items needed by the master, so it is not so reluctant for people to travel lightly, but they are just tired.
Coming here is just because Kunshan Town is the only transit station in Kunlun Mountain, and since there is no problem with the operation at the moment, Li Tianming is not willing to stay longer.
As for Wei Er and others, they have their own channels in the army, and they can naturally integrate well into the local guard station with Li Tianming's warrant.
It's just that Li Tianming is very strict with his personal guards, and he can't feel the prosperity of Kunshan Town, so more than 100 torrents have to follow Wei Er to practice in the camp.
With Li Tianming's handwritten letter, the guards of Kunshan Town naturally did not dare to slack off, knowing that the root of the prosperity in front of them was that the powerful combat power of the Kunshan Guard was able to suppress all disobedience, and the object of loyalty of the Kunshan Guard was the Li family in the northwest from beginning to end. Therefore, it is natural to arrange more than 100 torrents, anyway, it is just that all kinds of materials are much more than the original, which is just a drop in the bucket for Kunshan Town.
Even if you can take this opportunity to get closer to Li Tianming, it is what the town guard values the most.
If Li Tianming can transfer himself back to Yunbei City because of this, the town guard will sing praises happily.
Although Kunshan is good, after all, most of them are just floating population, and there is no recognition of Kunshan Town.
What can be compared to Yunbei, which is not only the center of the northwest, but everyone regards it as their home, so they have a sense of belonging.
