I really don't want to lose the country

A sign map with seven characters written on Chang'an Kantu Map of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Ye Qing swept away the things on the table in front of him, let Li Ru put them on it, and said to everyone: "Come and have a look together!"

Everyone gathered around, and Li Ru pointed to the map and explained: "This is a map of Chang'an City made by Jin Yiwei during this period, and the detailed locations of each workshop are recorded on it."

Everyone nodded, and the literate Yijing saw something.

Li Ru went on to say: "In Chang'an City, the Imperial Palace is directly to the north, facing south from the Suzaku Gate, just south of the center of the city is our Minwufang.

Everyone, please see that there are two major bazaars in Chang'an, the East Market in the east and the West Market in the west.

Buying items, eating, drinking and having fun are mostly within the east and west cities.Or in the square between the two cities near Suzaku Street.

And our Minwufang is to the south, the distance for the common people to come here is a little far, and there are two cities in front of it, so the flow of people eating, drinking and playing will not be too large.

So at most we can only attract ordinary poor people in these workshops near the south of the city.

And this kind of eating, drinking and having fun, as we all know, requires some rich people to have leisure time.

So start with eating and drinking, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get the effect! "

After hearing Li Ru's analysis, everyone knew the general situation of Chang'an City.

Can't help but sigh slightly.

The location of Minwufang is a bit awkward.

Most of the poorest people live in the south of the city.

It's hard to eat and survive, who still has the money to spend and play.

And the further south you go, the smaller the population.

Next to the south gate of the city, there are basically no people living in those few squares, and they are all open spaces.

Outside the south of the city, it was even more barren, with nothing but mountains.

The remnants of the Qinling Mountains are one after another.

The people outside the city gate are pitifully few compared with the eastern and western suburbs of the city.

Basically hunters.

Therefore, the south of Minwufang is basically getting poorer and the population is getting smaller and smaller.

The further you go south, the more you decline!

In this way, even Zhang Yi, who made the suggestion, was a little unconfident.

But after Ye Qing heard it, his eyes lit up, and he praised:

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

Everyone was stunned!

wonderful!

Such a bad situation, not bad!

Everyone is a little puzzled.

Ye Qing looked around everyone with a smile, then pointed to the civil affairs workshop and said: "What's wrong with ordinary people, as long as they are human beings, they will have business. Being poor now doesn't mean they will be poor in the future.

They don't have money, I just have to find a way to make them rich. "

People still don't understand.

It sounds muddled.

Could it be that my lord wants to subsidize money to the people in Nancheng!

In that case, even if the treasury moved in, they would not be able to afford the money!

"Population! The flow of people, the flow of people, is always the most important thing. Someone can prosper, and someone can develop. Nancheng is a blank space, which is where we can use our fists." Ye Qing clenched his fists and slammed on the map. Nancheng Location Road:

"There is no influence of the rich and powerful here, and there are no obstacles outside the city. It is a good place to develop industries. If we take Nancheng, we will hold one-third of the sky in the capital. There is no better place than here."

Could Ye Qing not be excited?

Of course, traditional agricultural business is not suitable for Nancheng.

But emerging industry and commerce are different.

If Li Ru's hadn't produced this map, he would not have known that there is such a good piece of land south of Minwufang.

Now that he has a floor plan, he is more confident in making Minwufang a prosperous place.

Without the influence of the rich and powerful, this Li Ru, Zhang Yi and others can understand.

What is this industry?

Everyone was dumbfounded.

I can't figure it out even after thinking about it.

"It's okay if you don't understand. Let's take it slowly, and then you will understand." Ye Qing didn't intend to explain too much, because they couldn't understand some things.

In a word, it's done.

After the meeting ended, Ye Qing had someone call Yi Da over.

Yi Da said: "Your Highness, you asked me to come here, but you have some new orders!"

Ye Qing said: "How are the walls in the mansion going?"

"Your Highness, I was just about to talk about this. The walls have been repaired. The next step is to build the diamond-shaped fortress you mentioned, and build the barracks, wing rooms, and other houses in the mansion." Yi Da reported in this way.

Ye Qing said: "I won't fix these for now. Tomorrow, you will take the craftsmen in your mansion to build me a kiln outside the south of the city. The location should be close to the rocky mountain and the water source. It is best to have firewood nearby, and it is convenient for transportation."

Yi Da was a little confused, and asked: "Your Highness, this kiln is built outside the city, so it's not too troublesome to transport the bricks back. You can't get a few carts in a day, and you have to send people to guard them."

"Who said I want to burn bricks!" Ye Qing said with a mysterious smile:

"This time we burn lime!"

burnt lime?

What is lime and how is it burned?
