Take the mall to Datang

This matter has nothing to do with the Ministry of Economics and Development, because the people responsible for the decoration are all sent by the Yuan family, and Yu Jingming's reminder is only because of the relationship between the two, and he can't say too much about it.

"It doesn't matter, the development of Lanzhou is the main thing. Isn't it just some decoration patterns? Let the Yuanjia decoration team be responsible for the design, and find more people to come and work, so that the shops can open earlier." Yuan Shan said.

Seeing that Yuan Shan, the righteous master, was not worried, Yu Jingming agreed.

The two construction teams are well manned, so they would not miss such a good event, and many of the workers who were transferred felt that they were lucky to be able to learn decoration skills from it.

It's almost like saying that you have to work without money.

With the help of manual decoration, the speed of decoration is very fast, and the mainstream decoration style is all wooden decoration, screens, porches, etc. The decoration of the three brothels is a bit exaggerated, and it can be said that the walls are covered with wood.

He even bought a large amount of high-grade fabrics such as gauze, silk and satin. He heard that Yuan Shan, who sold the wealth, felt that the entertainment industry was the most profitable these days, and he wondered whether to open a song and dance hall in Chunmanyuan here.

When Yuan Shan had a whimsical idea, he wouldn't know that Chen Changshun was doing this. Even Yuan Shan didn't know that Chunmanyuan Song and Dance Hall really opened here, and Yuan Shan hadn't been cheated yet. It is opened in the form of a chain of dance halls, and Yuanshan also has a share of the profits earned.

Chen Changshun has basically dealt with everything, and is currently selecting suitable girls for training.

Lanzhou Railway Station has been refurbished, and the waiting hall built later is now overcrowded. Businessmen commute between Lanzhou and Chang'an by car every now and then, as if there is a hidden danger.

At this stage, the Ministry of Economic Development has set up privileges for merchants, that is, they can ride the train for free, and only charge for transporting goods. Therefore, the passenger capacity of the train is very large, but Yuanshan did not ask anyone to limit it.

Today Lanzhou Railway Station ushered in a group of new guests, more than a hundred people packed a whole carriage.

"The air here in Lanzhou is very fresh." Cheng Zhijie shouted.

As soon as everyone got off the train, the orange juice machine started to enliven the atmosphere. Yuchi Jingde was not interested in the air but focused on the guards around him.

"The defense is tight. It seems that His Majesty has prepared for it long ago." Yuchi said respectfully.

Chapter 701

A group of more than a hundred people walked in the front, several Dukes of the State, Cheng Zhijie, Yuchi Jingde, Gao Shilian, Changsun Wuji, Qin Qiong and others all came.

The busiest of these happy people is Zhangsun Wuji, he is the first brother of the Tang court, but he came to Lanzhou, which makes people have to think too much.

No one picked them up at the train station, because the Ministry of Economic Development or local officials had not been notified of their itinerary.

As soon as I got out of the train station, I saw horse-drawn carts and ox carts. The horse-drawn carts were used to pull people, and the ox carts were used to transport goods. The scene was so lively.

Just when I saw a carriage with a shed and was about to stop it, suddenly I saw a stranger directly on the carriageway: "The coachman, hurry to the center street, as long as you pay you double the fare."

Someone robbed the carriage, and Cheng Zhijie's temper was about to explode in an instant. The guards under him had just passed by, but the coachman screamed at double hands and feet, and the driver of the carriage left in a hurry, leaving a group of people looking at each other.

On the one hand, the expression of the bullock cart saw the crowd and immediately leaned over and said: "Don't be surprised, this is the speed of Lanzhou. The merchants are racing against time, and they are afraid that it will delay their money. This kind of thing is very common. This is the first time for the guest officials. Let’s come to Lanzhou once, the horses are very nervous, if you don’t mind the cattle caravan here, do you want to take it?”

Everyone looked at each other again. They had done ox carts, but it was a long time ago. The orange juice machine saw that there were no horse carts around, and immediately asked: "Just go to the man who said how far the center street is."

The driver of the ox cart immediately said: "It's a long way, it will take at least an hour to walk."

Everyone looked at each other again.

A team of twenty bullock carts carried people all the way from the train station, and some goods were still loaded in the carts. The driver in the lead was still singing some tunes, and the drivers behind were still humming along.

As a result, it took almost an hour for a section of the road.

"Why did the old man stop?" Cheng Zhijie asked curiously.

"Here we are." The coachman said immediately.

"Are you here? How come you arrived without seeing the gate of the city." Cheng Zhijie wondered.

The coachman immediately said: "What city gate? The gate of Lanzhou City has long since disappeared. It takes only a short time to walk over, and the old man has to go to the other side to deliver the goods."

Everyone had no choice but to end, and the hundred and ten people enjoyed the scenery of Lanzhou all the way here, and they were in a good mood.

"Why did this Yuanshan tear down the city wall of Lanzhou? What if some people come and commit crimes?" Changsun Wuji said worriedly.

"I heard from the coachman along the way that Lanzhou City is now divided into urban and suburban areas. Let's go to the urban area to find that boy Yuanshan and ask him if he knows." Gao Shilian said.

After a group of people walked for more than ten minutes, they saw the urban area of ​​Lanzhou, with concrete buildings everywhere.

"This is a concrete building, so many." Cheng Zhijie said in surprise.

"It's really a big deal. How much cement does it take to build the entire city with cement." Qin Qiong sighed.

Changsun Wuji immediately said: "The Ministry of Economic Development is very rich, so it's possible that all the money has been invested in Lanzhou. I have to say that it is really courageous."

When a group of people arrived in the urban area, except for the ground and the buildings around the dirt road, all the buildings were made of cement, and there were countless horse-drawn carts and ox carts.

Seeing the guidepost on Zhongxin Street, I heard a group of people beating gongs and drums shouting again.

While everyone was watching the excitement, a person came out of the building next to him and said, "This is the first time you have come to Lanzhou. It is the publicity team for house leasing in Zhongxin Street. They will come out to publicize every time someone rents a house."

Someone came to talk to them, but everyone didn't react for a while.

"Who is this little brother?" Changsun Wuji asked.

"I'm the shopkeeper of Tongfu Inn. Don't you stay in the hotel objectively? The price is cheap." The younger brother laughed.

"You really know how to do business. Do you know where the Economic Development Department is?" Zhangsun Wuji asked.

"There is a big sign hanging in the center of the front. If you want to stay in the hotel, remember to come back. The Tongfu Inn has a double room, a standard room, good service, and a cheap price." yelling.

Walking all the way, I saw that most of the buildings on both sides are already open, and they still need to be decorated. There are restaurants, shops, everything, and the prosperity is no less than that of Chang'an's east and west cities.

The biggest impression is that it is big, but they haven’t seen many Fan merchants. In fact, they don’t know that those Fan merchants have to go to the cattle and horse market in the suburbs of Lanzhou first when they arrive in Lanzhou, and deposit their horses and camels. The urban area does not allow caravans to file in like this.

To transport goods, you can hire a truck to transport them to the urban area. The horses in the truck will be required to install dung bags, otherwise you will be fined in the urban area. The quantity of goods is not very sufficient, so it is very helpless for many people not to be able to buy them.

A group of people arrived at the Ministry of Economics and Development. The three-story building was as big as three or four buildings next to it. There was still a signboard of Lanzhou State Government Office at the door of the Ministry of Economics and Development.

Gao Shilian and others couldn't laugh or cry, it was subversive that Yamen could appear in such a form.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw a long counter, and everyone was very helpless. Didn't they see such a scene in the living room of Yuanjia Manor?

"Huanyin came to the state government office, please fill out the application for lawsuits, complaints for grievances, and other matters..." said the receptionist.

Everyone is speechless again, what is this, don't you need to beat drums to complain when you go to the Yamen to file a complaint?

Cheng Zhijie, who is not afraid of too many things, asked directly: "Why didn't you beat the drums and complain?"

The receptionist immediately said: "This is a new regulation of the Lanzhou Yamen. Beating drums will disturb the people. If you want the people to hear the trial, the Yamen will also be responsible for finding people. Any unjust, false or wrongly decided cases are absolutely not allowed."

"The Ministry of Economic Development also works in this yamen?" Cheng Zhijie asked again.

"It's not that the offices on both sides are separated. The yamen is on the first floor to the right. Please go to the second floor from the economic and development department." The receptionist said.

"What's all this? If the officials of the imperial court know that even the Yamen in Lanzhou has become like this, that boy Yuanshan must have no good fruit to eat." Gao Shilian said.
