The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over, there is non-stop preparation for the holding of the business conference.

The entire trade market in the West District has basically been built, and there is only a little bit to clean up.Li Wen brought people over to do inspection work, and he is basically satisfied with this place, "Taking advantage of the time left in these two days, arrange a few more people to clean up this place, it's almost done

"Yes, my lord."

The business conference was followed by the investment promotion conference, without a few days in between.At the same time, when the business conference is held, it is necessary to promote this place to the outside world, so that more merchants can settle in this trade market, so before that, they must take care of this place, otherwise when someone comes over, it will be a mess The ones are not very good-looking, Li Wen ordered a few words.

However, he heard that some businessmen in the capital had already sent people here to inquire, and it seemed that quite a few people were interested in this place.

They have invested so much silver taels here, if they can't even get back the capital, they will lose a lot.But since he dared to create this trade market, he was sure to sell all these shops, and Li Wen still had some confidence in this.

No one could have imagined that the dirty and dilapidated place would become what it is today.

The roads that used to be dirty and messy are now spacious. After the drainage problem is solved, at least within this range, there will not be too much water in rainy days.At the place of construction, Li Wen specifically mentioned that the ground where the warehouse is located should be filled up, even if it rains heavily, it can also ensure that the goods at that location will not be soaked by water.

Since they want to do it, they have to do it well, so that these businessmen can see that with the help of the government, their business can be done better and they can make more money. Cooperation with the government will be a win-win project. In the future These businessmen will trust the government and choose to cooperate with the government.Now they want these businessmen to see the sincerity of the government. Their Ministry of Industry and Commerce is not just a show, but a department that is really capable of hosting business conferences and creating a better platform for businessmen like them.

When the time comes for the trade market to operate, and how to arrange the relevant management personnel, these issues must be arranged in advance.There have been so many things in this period of time recently, and Li Wen felt a little helpless when he thought of people's brain hurting.But there is no way, he has built it with all his hard work, and it is impossible to hand it over to others later. Who knows what others will do here, and whether all his hard work will be paid for. Yu Liushui

When I look back, I will ask His Highness the Crown Prince if there is any good manpower to recommend, and go to the Crown Prince to dig a few corners.

Inside the trade market, there are four gates, east, west, north, south, and four main roads. The interior is in the shape of a "meter" and the roads extend in all directions. The main purpose is to facilitate the transportation of goods in and out of here in the future.

Inside are the facades of large and small shops, and these shops will be sold to the outside world at that time.Go out from the four gates, the south main gate is the main street, and the east and west sides are two side streets. At that time, teahouses and inns can be set up here, as well as various shops selling groceries. The north back street is a food street.

People depend on food, no matter where they are, as long as there are people, they must eat, so Li Wen later proposed to build a food street at the North Gate, which is a bit similar to the food street of later generations.

The shops on this street are all small, and they are only rented out and not sold. At that time, the shop rent should not be set too high, so that those street vendors with a little money can afford to rent.Otherwise, just give the business to the big bosses, and properly support the middle and lower class people.

At that time, an area will be divided here for some small vendors to set up stalls to sell things, which will also facilitate future management.As long as the market starts to operate at that time, it will not be difficult to transform the entire West District. Li Wen thought about these things carefully in his heart, and felt that the benefits that this trade market could bring to them were very considerable.

"Okay, that's about it." Li Wen emphasized once again that more people should be arranged to clean up the place as soon as possible.Their time is still too short, otherwise they can build this place better, but these are not problems. When they have sufficient funds later, they can do whatever they want.

After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the west side, Li Wen left with his people, and the next step was to prepare for the business meeting.After the construction in the west area was completed, Shen Zijingrong returned to their business department. Now it was a time of shortage of manpower. It was impossible for Li Wen to waste such a large labor force outside.

Shen Zijing, who had just come back from the West District and hadn't even caught his breath, was arrested by Li Wen to become a young man, "I said you can take a breath too!"

"Don't think about it, it's impossible!" Li Wen ruthlessly dismissed Shen Zijing's request, and smiled at Shen Zijing, showing his white teeth, and asked, "You should have known today. Those who dare to be fart will come to the capital?"

Su Yuan let out a muffled laugh, but he still didn't dare to laugh out loud.

"..." Shen Zijing stood on the table with an unlovable expression on his face, like a rascal who can do anything to me if I don't get up.

Li Wen laughed angrily, kicked the person lying on the table pretending to be dead, and shouted, "Get up quickly and go to work."

It was common for the few of them to laugh and make trouble, but no one took it seriously.

"Well, I'm just afraid of you." Shen Zijing glanced at Li Wen resentfully, so he got up and went to work, he couldn't live this day.

Had he known today, would he have dared to come to the capital?- Of course you dare!

Some people know that the road ahead is difficult, but they still step forward without hesitation. Who is not like this here? But they are happy!

Money is hard to buy, I'm happy!

Our

Before the meeting was held, they had to list the contents and main points of the meeting one by one, and these would be used in the meeting at that time. Li Wen called these subordinates under him to a meeting to discuss it day and night.Fortunately, after this period of time, these people under him have learned how to do things, and they can still give pertinent opinions and suggestions on some issues, which is very valuable.

At this time, the entire Ministry of Industry and Commerce was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. They didn't have enough staff internally, and when they got busy, they wished they could split into one.Not to mention the busyness of Li Wen, the Shangguan, he basically only slept for about two hours a day, and was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat and sleep.

Even so, all of them seemed to have been injected with chicken blood, and everyone was in a state of extreme excitement, trying their best to run this conference well.

Fortunately, the recent morning court was waived, and officials did not have to go to court, unless there was something necessary to report and deal with the emperor.Because the daily morning court was avoided, half a day could be saved in the middle, and he didn't have to waste energy arguing with those officials. Li Wen himself was extremely happy!

The emperor gave him a plaque, which is convenient for him to enter the palace. After handing over the plaque, he can enter the palace to meet the emperor. There are not many officials in the court who can get this honor.

Therefore, regarding some matters related to the business conference, he had to obtain the approval of the emperor before he could raise them. He had to ask the emperor for his opinions on these matters one by one to make sure.So even though he didn't have to go to court early, Li Wen still had to go back to the palace to see the emperor once a day, and report these things to the emperor one by one.

Because he can see the emperor every day when he enters the palace, he naturally knows that the emperor's physical condition is not very good.In the past, the emperor liked to invite him into the palace to play chess with him from time to time, but now the emperor has not invited him into the palace to play chess with him for a long time. Li Wen knew that the emperor did not have the spirit to play chess.

At the age of the emperor, if he is a civil servant in the government agencies of later generations, he should be at the retirement age.Of course, here, the emperor himself also has problems. The emperors in history basically would not hand over power to the next successor until the moment when they were about to die, so it is impossible for him to persuade the emperor to hand over power to Prince, take good care of your illness.

"Cough cough..." the emperor held a handkerchief, covered his mouth and coughed twice, and Eunuch Sun, who was waiting beside him, hurriedly handed over a cup of tea, "Your Majesty, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

Li Wen raised his eyelids, took a sneak peek at the emperor's face, and said, "Your Majesty, you have to take care of yourself. After this meeting, I promise you that the Ministry of Household Affairs will receive a large amount of silver every year. "He hopes that the emperor can have that fate to see that day, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and the people will be rich.

But he knew in his heart that the emperor might not see that day...

In fact, the emperor treated him fairly well, at least he was able to reach his current position in a short period of time, and the emperor's reuse and promotion accounted for a large part.

Generally speaking, officials in the central government are evaluated once every three years. After the evaluation, officials with outstanding performance are eligible to advance one step higher. They have to follow the normal promotion process. It may take him ten years to get where he is today.So at this point, he was lucky to meet an emperor who dared to use him, and what he can do is to do his best to do things well in order to repay the emperor.

"Okay, I believe you." Emperor Zhaozong smiled, looking at the little Liuyuan, who was about the same age as the sixth prince, who was obviously not very old, but could do so many things for him, the emperor, the court, and the entire Dacheng. "If the court wants more officials like you, I have nothing to worry about."

Li Wen picked up the conversation in embarrassment, and said, "Your Majesty, you have praised me, but I am just doing my job, which is not enough for the Emperor to praise me so much."

He stayed in the palace for a while, and talked with the emperor about some things. The emperor gave him a lot of authority in this business reform, which naturally included the business meeting this time. "This matter is entirely up to you.

Let's do it..." After the emperor finished speaking, he coughed for a while.

"Your Majesty..." Eunuch Sun hurriedly asked the little eunuch to find the imperial physician, and went up to serve the Emperor himself.The emperor waved his hand, meaning he was fine.

Li Wen knew that he should retreat, and when the imperial physician came, he bowed and retreated.
