The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

From the end of July, the number of businessmen who came to the capital every day began to increase. The businessmen near the capital area arrived in the capital one step earlier, and the businessmen from the places farther away from the capital were still on the way to the capital. The team of horses and horses, businessmen from all over the country are gathering in the capital.

When they arrived in the capital, these merchants were pleasantly surprised to find that the capital had changed drastically.

There is no need to pay lijin tax when entering the city, and the cleaning fee for vehicles, horses and livestock is charged according to the head. The roads in the city have become wider, and vehicles and horses are moving forward in an orderly manner. There are still many small vendors along the way.Pedestrians walk on the sidewalk, carriages and horses walk on the carriageway, and there are old men cleaning the streets on the road. The excrement pulled by cattle, horses and livestock on the street will be cleaned up soon.Hearing that these were done by Master Li Liuyuan, the whole capital suddenly changed.

"Well, it's not bad." These businessmen nodded in praise.

The merchants had a very good impression of Mr. Li Liuyuan, who established the Ministry of Commerce, proposed to exempt their merchants from many miscellaneous taxes, and proposed to vigorously develop commerce.If there is a chance, these businessmen would like to meet this Mr. Li without exception.Everyone knows that the business meeting and investment promotion meeting this time are hosted by Master Li. This time, these businessmen have come to the capital one after another. Many of them have only two purposes, one is to participate in the meeting, and the other is to I want to meet the legendary Mr. Li.

The number of people in the city suddenly increased, and the business of restaurants, inns, and shops in the city also improved.

Most of these businessmen will not be short of silver in their hands, and they can choose good food and accommodation. The rooms in the better restaurants and inns in the city have been booked one after another. People who will come to the capital later do not know. Can you find a good place to live^

In previous years, when the imperial court opened the Enke, the restaurants and shops in the city could take the opportunity to make a fortune. Unexpectedly, so many rich businessmen came here when Mr. Li held two conferences. The shopkeepers of these restaurants and inns laughed from ear to ear. .

The respective merchants are fighting for time to come to the capital early, but the merchants who are too far away from the capital have not arrived in the capital so quickly, and at this time, the merchants from places closer to the capital will take advantage of it.

When they come to the capital early, they can inquire more about the court, as well as about that Li Liuyuan and Mr. Li.Those who do business pay attention to first-hand information, and being able to grasp useful information will occupy the greatest advantage. It would be even better if they could gain a little relationship with that Mr. Li and get some convenience and benefits of doing business. But that's all.

All the businessmen who came to the capital for a while were inquiring about Mr. Li through various channels.Businessmen who have connections in the court are looking for acquaintances one after another, but so far, no businessman has been able to find Li Liuyuan and Mr. Li through the relationship of acquaintances.

In the wing room upstairs of a restaurant, a group of businessmen gathered together, discussing the upcoming business meeting, and thought that the key person in this meeting, Master Li.Knowing that not only they were unable to get in touch with Mr. Li, but other businessmen also failed to get in touch with that Mr. Li, someone said, "Since that's the case, we don't need to worry."

"Judging from Mr. Li's previous behavior, this Mr. Li is a clean and honest person. If we want to go rashly...it will be counterproductive. Why don't we first see how businessmen in other places behave, and then we can discuss how to deal with it. "

Hearing this, all the businessmen present nodded and said yes, "It's not good to leave a bad impression on Mr. Li."

Nishi-ward

Among the waste of the demolished houses, a large-scale comprehensive market is being built, and now the prototype can be seen. The shops on both sides are being built, and a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested. The most obvious effect is the houses one by one. Rising from the ground, here is almost the same every day.

All the small alleys that were not even accessible by the road were expanded to accommodate at least one carriage. The avenue was widened according to the minimum standard of two carriages running side by side, and sidewalks were left on both sides.This is a bit similar to a modern road, where the lanes and sidewalks are parallel and have sufficient width.

There is also the issue of underground drainage in the West District. Li Wen regards this as one of the most important issues that must be solved.

This place in the West District used to be dirty and messy. A large part of the reason was that there were too many people living there and the drainage problem was not dealt with properly. Not to mention that the drainage in the West District was not handled well, the drainage in the entire capital city was not necessarily so good.Last time, he proposed to improve the underground drainage of the capital, which was approved by the emperor, and the Ministry of Industry has now taken over to deal with it, but the capital is not small, and it may take a year or so to dig through the underground drainage of the entire capital. Can't finish it.

Even if it takes ten or eight years to deal with it, only by solving it fundamentally can the fate of the entire Dacheng be completely changed!On this point, Li Wen has enough confidence and patience to deal with it, but the premise is that the master he will serve in the future is a wise king.
