Take the mall to Datang

As long as you pay, you will be rewarded. What war can bring is massacre and tyranny, but it can also control the chaotic situation. There will be no more threats in the future, and no more life-consuming battles.

With Li Shimin's imperial decree, Yuan Shan and his party took the train to Lanzhou after preparing the supplies.

Chapter 691 Starting from Building a Warehouse

The personnel and materials and luggage on the train each occupy three carriages.

There were as many as 100 people in the entourage, including 50 Dushi, [-] Guishi, and the remaining [-] were elite class students drawn from the talent school.

The enthusiasm of the intern students along the way was very high.

When we arrived at Lanzhou Station, the first thing we saw was a large row of warehouses, all surrounded by soldiers.

Immediately after getting off the train, soldiers came to personally escort them, and people who were responsible for moving the goods came to help.

"Little Red Riding Hood?" Yuan Shan muttered, the person in charge of carrying the luggage came with a cart, which gave Yuan Shan a little illusion.

"Boss, what is Little Red Riding Hood?" Gao Chunxing asked immediately.

"It's the porter red with the red hat." Yuan Shan said casually.

Gao Chunxing was at a loss and couldn't understand at all.

Yuan Shan ignored him, and the students in the elite class naturally couldn't count him. Gao Chunxing came with him as a representative of the Gewu team, and it was completely arranged by the talent school.

This guy is just a curious baby who hasn't stopped on the train.

"Yuan Servant's carriage to pick us up is already waiting at the entrance of the station." Yu Jingming came over and said.

"Let's go." Yuan Shan said.

A group of fifty carriages soon arrived at their destination, and everyone got out of the carriage and saw that it was an inn.

At this time, someone explained: "This is the Lanzhou branch of the Ministry of Economic Development. It was originally used as an office after the acquisition of an inn."

"It's quite big." Yuan Shan said.

The inn that can accommodate so many people for 100 people is really not small. After entering, Yu Jingming allocated rooms. On average, eight people share a room. The rooms are all bunk beds and the space is small, but there is no problem for people to live in.

The style of the inn is very ordinary, with a total of three floors. It is the largest inn in Lanzhou City. The area where it is located is a commercial center, and there are many shops beside the road.

Lanzhou is located in a remote place, but the traders are passable. There are many restaurants inside and outside the city. The Ministry of Economic Development has acquired the largest one, which does not have much impact on the demand for merchants. There are not many merchants.

The real trade area for trading with Fanbang is not in the city but in a market five miles outside the city. Tang people account for more than half of the people who come and go with each other. Doing business with Fanbang is not small. The most feared thing is to encounter horse thieves. Category.

So doing business usually requires acquaintances to lead the way.

"Yuan Pu's room is ready." Yu Jingming said.

"I don't want to rest yet, go out with me to visit Lanzhou City." Yuan Shan said.

Seeing Yuan Shan's high interest, Yu Jingming followed him.

The two took a carriage and began to let the driver press the road in Lanzhou City.

Seeing Yuan Shan shaking his head vigorously, Yu Jingming said, "Lanzhou City is located in a border area, and Tuyuhun is a great threat. Although the life of the people in this city is difficult, at least their safety can be guaranteed."

"What about the people outside the city?" Yuan Shan said.

"Without a stable environment, it is impossible for the people to truly have a peaceful life. Look at the city of Lanzhou, which is not as prosperous as a county town around Chang'an City." Yuan Shan said.

What makes Yuan Shan feel emotional is that the development of this Lanzhou city is really too backward. Apart from the frequent wars, there is no development except that the city has not been abandoned and escaped. In the past, the materials transported from various places were limited by the terrain and time. After the train, the people saw hope.

However, if His Majesty's strategy is to use this place as a frontline supply station, there will not be much development. Is building a city wall to develop the economy?

Lanzhou City is not big, and soon finished shopping the main streets, so at Yuan Shan's request, I went outside the city. There are many fields, but most of them are messy, and many fields are messy.

"It's not the farming season, it's almost March, why haven't there been people from the Yamen to take charge of these things?" Yuan Shan said.

"It's not the people's fault. Fans often invade Lanzhou's borders. They burned, killed and robbed the people. It's an unreasonable disaster." Yu Jingming said.

After some understanding, I found out what was going on. The relationship between Fanbang and Datang was not really a war, but they were often "patronized" by others. In Yuanshan's view, this was a war zone.

The safety of the people here cannot be guaranteed. If everyone in the family dies, the field will naturally become wasteland. It is also a problem for the government to take back the land and want to distribute it.

If it weren't for the people who already had local household registration, no one would want to settle here, because it was too dangerous, and some rich people would go to relatives as a last resort, and no one would want to live here.

Back at the inn, Yuanshan immediately called for a meeting.

There were 120 people gathered in the entire inn soon, and the extra 20 people were from the Economic and Development Department sent earlier.

"All of you present here are my own officials, so I directly said that Lanzhou City's economic development is lagging behind due to the influence of Fan people, and Arita cannot be fully utilized. A good state capital is like a county seat. Now that we are here, we can't No matter, so I decided to build this place into a super metropolis." Yuan Shan said.

Others may not know it, but the people in the Ministry of Economic Development know what a metropolis means. In their understanding, a metropolis is like a city like Luoyang, and a super metropolis is like Chang'an.

Everyone was excited, because all the things Yuan Shan had said would come true, and if Lanzhou was really turned into such a city because of them, they would all be excited in their hearts.

"Yuan Pushe, what are we going to do? The headquarters of the Tang Dynasty's war against Tubo is in the Dudu's Mansion in Lanzhou. The most people in the city are not ordinary people, but all soldiers." Yu Jingming said.

The establishment of the Dudu Mansion in the state capital means that the military power is the first, and the main development is not the economy but the military.

Li Jing, the general manager of the Xikaidao March, is now preparing to fight in the Lanzhou Governor's Mansion. How can he have free time to manage the economic development in Lanzhou City and the living conditions of the people.

Yu Jingming's reminder was also out of his responsibility, but these things were nothing to Yuan Shan.

The Governor's Mansion is here to explain that there is no shortage of troops, so there is no need to worry about the safety of Lanzhou City. As for the war, it is the generals' business. What we have to do is to make Lanzhou rich. Don't look at how poor this place is, but it is also the land of silk At the door, future business development will definitely prosper because of this.

"It's not easy to develop a state capital. Now that Lanzhou has become a place where materials are concentrated, why not start with this aspect first, starting with the construction of warehouses." Yuan Shan said.

"Building a warehouse?" Yu Jingming asked curiously.

"That's right, judging from the current material reserves, it can't meet the demand." Yuan Shan said.

Yu Jingming became even more curious, and immediately said, "Aren't there a lot of warehouses at the station? Why are there not enough?"

Yuan Shan smiled.

"What time is it now, how many warehouses do you think there will be in Lanzhou to store spoils?" Yuan Shan said.

Yu Jingming suddenly realized.

Chapter 692

Yu Jingming understood that even if so many materials were transported to Chang'an by train, it would take a turnaround time.

Besides, not all materials are suitable for long-distance transportation, and not all materials have the value of being transported back to Chang'an. The trophies obtained by the soldiers also need to have a place to sell.

There are many things that no one has thought of. Yuan Shan also thought about a general idea, as long as there is profit and profit, this is the way of thinking of a businessman.
