The war-torn border town is completely different and lush. When Ji Mo saw it for the first time, he couldn't believe that the small earthen wall was the city wall of the border town.

I'm afraid you are kidding me!

After confirming with fellow businessmen, Ji Mo knew that the history of this border city was long enough, so long that the imperial court had already established a new city, and the reason why there were still officers and soldiers stationed here was simply because he didn't want to lose this former station.

In fact, all aspects of backup are in short supply.

"The officers and soldiers are also pitiful. If it weren't for us, what would they eat and drink?"

Although the merchants will be skinned when they pass by here, they really feel sorry for these soldiers. Good people, who wants to be soldiers?Who wants to be here?

To some extent, they all have a last resort.

These soldiers did not kill anyone, and the toll money they asked for was not too much, so everyone could bear it. Some of them had a very good relationship, and they drank and ate meat together, really like brothers.

"Why not rebuild the city?"

When Ji Mo came here, he was wandering around. He could see that this border town had been relegated to history for a long time, and many old traces overlapped. He could see the shadow of the previous dynasty, as well as the styles of the previous dynasty, one layer after another. Layers are stacked, like densely overlapping patches, one on top of the other, if you don't pay attention, you will think that all are from the same period.

Old and new are different.

"Reconstruction? What foolish words did the children say? The court doesn't want this place anymore. Who will build it?"

When the businessmen talked about this, they were also somewhat resentful.

The strength of a country is manifested in all aspects. They claim to be a higher civilization, and they trade with those barbarians, not to mention lowering their own value, at least they are lowering their dignity, but the result?Due to some reasons, they need to be on guard, not daring to show their wealth and ability, for fear of being remembered as the souls of barbarians.

"We can build it ourselves!"

Ji Mo's words made everyone laugh, why did he build it himself?

Some people around, who were drinking, also laughed when they heard such words, unknowingly, they focused their attention.

"Why can't I build it myself?"

Ji Mo asked, "Are all the villages built by the imperial court?"

All the laughter is a bit stuck. It is not unreasonable to say this. The original village was formed by a large family living together, and there were more people living in it. At the same time, I found a place where I could rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water, and settled down, and then I was checked by the people in the county to collect taxes.

It can be said that some places were originally deserted and there was nothing. After people passed by, after the land was planted, and after the harvest was harvested, the imperial court came to collect taxes and arrange some governing talents to manage these people.

It is also for this reason that many villages are not displayed on the map, because when the map was drawn, the village may not have existed.

It is said that the problem of land annexation in ancient times was very serious, so serious that it seemed that the land was no longer enough for everyone to feed everyone.

There is nothing wrong with this kind of statement, the big family is indeed always gathering more land, but what they gather in their hands is not wasteland, but cultivated land, to be precise, ripe soil.

In those barren places, the land is still without an owner.

Just like this border town.

Not to mention the well-preserved cities inhabited by officers, soldiers and a small number of merchants. Outside the city, a small part of the reclaimed land should be owned, and the rest should be unowned land.

"We can each pay a little money to build this city together. When the city is built, we can let the barbarians come to trade in the city, won't we be free from the trouble of being looted?"

It is still risky to travel to such a distant place. It is said that most barbarians will not attack the caravan, so as not to cut off the source of certain items, but there is always that kind of short-term purpose, only looking at the short-term interests, and will attack the merchants. Pick up the butcher knife.

If it weren't for the lure of huge profits, no businessman would risk his life to come here.

"And the money each of us pays doesn't mean we get nothing, we can only see those nihilistic benefits."

Ji Mo is drawing cakes. He proposed the concept of crowdfunding. No one person can build a city, because the project is too large and the money and food will be consumed. But here, far away from the emperor, there are many rules and regulations. It's not that harsh.

Isn't it good for everyone to contribute money and make money together?

Is it something to hesitate about how much wealth a fixed and prosperous city can bring?

Someone drank, got a little bit high, and yelled: "Tell me, what can I exchange for my money?"

"It can be land that can be cultivated, or a shop for business, or a courtyard that can be used or rented out... With these, more people will come and live here, and naturally there will be many opportunities to make money. You, as the people who contributed money and energy at the beginning of the city's construction, will naturally be able to become landlords, isn't this a good opportunity?"

In ancient times, the desire for land was simply the number one priority. Many people were moved when they heard the term "landlord".

Someone asked Ji Mo again: "Why are you sure that someone will come, what if no one comes?"

"Why is no one coming? Let the merchants tell them that there is no tax for farming here, will anyone not come?"

Tyranny is fiercer than a tiger, it's never just talk, even if the current imperial court is still good, many places are thriving, but there are no places where the people really live in dire straits?

Not to mention far away, last year, when the floods hit, many refugees had nowhere to go. If we could attract those refugees here, let them cultivate the land here, and multiply, would this city still be dilapidated and desolate like it is now? ?

After the house is built, there is always no need to worry about no one coming to live in it.

"You are so young, you are so proud, you know how much food is needed to build a city, and you are talking nonsense here!"

Some people think it is impossible, and directly refute it, wanting to show their ingenuity.

Ji Mo smiled: "If it is built in a day, it is naturally impossible. However, if you build it bit by bit, slowly, you can always make something. If you add up, it will only consume time. Time always passes the fastest."

When he thought of coming to the border town, Ji Mo thought about how to build a city here. He originally thought about starting from scratch and directly persuading these businessmen to contribute capital. No, it's not capital contribution, but investment. He built a great city, but after coming here, he quickly found out that something was wrong. The merchants came and went like duckweed. Even though there were merchants who came every year, these merchants were not obsessed with having any shops here.

What's more, a border town is a border town after all, and there is always the trouble of war. How many people dare to live in a city without officers and soldiers?It could be said that when he woke up, his head became a barbarian's immediate decoration.

Therefore, the existence of officers and soldiers is needed, so it will not be too difficult to build a new city on the basis of such a border city lacking civil servants.

Ji Mo doesn’t need to worry much about the location of this city anymore. He only needs to re-determine the scope of the city according to the current geographical location, such as the direction of some rivers that may change. Offset, so as to be more in line with the current situation.

In addition, there are almost no technical difficulties. Whether it is a defense mechanism or an attack mechanism, Ji Mo is a veteran, as long as he is willing to do it, he can have it. The current harassment, such as barbarian harassment and the like.

"Build the wall and some houses first, and then slowly build the inside."

Ji Mo has a rough plan in his mind. First of all, to attract people, the current manpower is not enough, and some people must farm. Don't know how much it will cost.

It is not the imperial court appropriating funds, but raising money by oneself. Frugality is something that must be considered, and it can even be ranked first.

It’s not that there’s no need to think about safety, but that there haven’t been any serious wars here for many years. If you really want to talk about it, it has to do with the accident in the previous dynasty. He was defeated and forced to retreat to the depths of the grassland. As a result, for many years, there were no barbarians here.

That is to say, in recent years, there have been more barbarians who seem to be resurgent. With small-scale harassment, it is not very serious for the inside of the city. Siege is not their strong point, but for the unprotected cultivated land outside the city For the village, it is more of a headache.

Burning, killing, and looting are the normal operations of the barbarians. Therefore, there are fewer people in the border town here, and it looks much more desolate.

Ji Mo already had a plan in his heart, and he came here to see the actual situation and revised the plan, and now he speaks logically. In his narration, a majestic city has risen from the ground like this, which sounds really exciting.

The most important thing is the order contained in it, one, two, three, four, each step is clearly listed, in the eyes of outsiders, it seems to be the ability of reserve officials who guide the country, but to Ji Mo, this It's all normal. Do you still remember what the teacher would say in class?Freshmen and juniors, the levels are progressive, and I can't wait to break a knowledge point into pieces and feed them into the stomachs of the students.

How to make a list of plans is simply the knowledge from elementary school to adulthood. It doesn't need to bother one's brain at all. However, this kind of logic, this kind of organization, in ancient times, was not the ability of everyone.

Many officials are unable to refine the government affairs they need to deal with one by one, turning them into trivial matters that sound very simple one after another.

A feast seemed to celebrate the birth of Xiongcheng.
