The field of Tieqing design is very novel and advanced.

It was built on top of a river!

It is not so much a debate field as it is a fortress.

First of all, this river passes through the middle of the field to ensure that the water source is sufficient and cannot be cut off by people.

The river is quite wide!

The entire city covers an extremely large area!

why?

Because the grassland is infinitely large, he can vigorously mark the territory. Anyway, it is not his own territory, and it is his own territory when he enters it.

The whole graphic design shows that the market is like a word "Hui" with a word "Tian" framed inside it, and there is an opening in the middle, which is where the Yamen is located.

Of course, Tie Qing didn't say it was the Yamen, he named it "Tax Office", which is the place where taxes are collected.

Moreover, a square courtyard is designed here, with seven main rooms and eighteen side rooms.

The first picture is auspicious, and the second is that there needs to be enough space for tax money, that is, silver, gold, etc., because at this time, merchants usually carry gold for the convenience of traveling, and then exchange it for silver when they arrive at the place. Or copper coins.

The people on the grasslands don't have the concept of "money". They barter more, or trade with gold. In this case, there needs to be a unified exchange place and the exchange rate.

Tie Qing probably doesn't need to worry about this.

He just needs to give enough space.

Four trading areas are designed outside the tax office.

The livestock area, there is no way, this trading area must be independent, because it is too smelly.

Jewelry District, this also needs to be independent, after all, these things are small and expensive, and many people like to trade such products.

The medicinal materials area must also be traded separately, especially the medicinal materials. The quality must be guaranteed, so not only must there be an independent trading area, but also there must be people who are powerful enough to distinguish the quality of medicinal materials.

The last one is to go to a separate area for the imperial court. What are you doing?An area dedicated to selling tea, salt and silk.

Of these three goods, only silk can be traded at will, and the remaining tea and salt are exclusively provided by the imperial court.

Outside the four major areas, the inner circle of the "Hui" shape is a place dedicated to providing stalls for scattered merchants from the grassland, selling some leather, grassland spices, etc. In fact, there are also some things on the grassland, such as milk The product is good.

And the outer ring is for the caravans in Zhongyuan, selling some handicrafts, needles, threads, etc. Anyway, there are a lot of miscellaneous things.

The main reason is that there are not so many things to sell in the grassland.

But what the Central Plains has is that money is easy to make on the grasslands.

In addition, there are only two gates in this forum, one is in the direction of the grassland, and the other is in the direction of the Central Plains.

The buildings here are all built with rammed earth, so they need to be repaired every three to five years, otherwise they are prone to decay and landslides.

But Tie Qing made a note of it, and suggested that they could take turns coming with the people on the grassland. If the grassland is inconvenient, it would be better for them all to come from Dazhen. Garrison troops, build some secret passages and so on, once there is a war, you can take it by surprise and attack it unprepared.

Anyway, he thinks that the heart of harming others is indispensable, but the heart of preventing others is indispensable!

As long as everyone is doing business well, everything will be fine. Once there is a fight, you can send troops instantly. With the "bridgehead" in the battle field, you can drive straight into the grassland if you advance, and you can bomb the bridgehead when you retreat to stop the enemy. , and then his own people retreated safely to the pass. With the strength of Shanlang pass and Xiao Wei's combat ability, they would definitely make the people of the grassland return home in defeat.

So the forum he designed is more for commercial purposes.

In terms of defense, there is really only a wall made of rammed earth. It is more than three meters high and two meters thick. It stands on the grassland and is absolutely dazzling.

In addition, Tie Qing requested that a fence must be set up within a radius of ten miles of the venue, even if it is to keep livestock or camp in tents, the two sides can only look at each other from a distance across the river, and cannot directly contact, It sounds good to prevent smuggling, but it sounds bad that if something happens, everyone will leave peacefully. Don't follow the heat of your head. If you steal mine, I will kill you or something.

If you really do something, it's hard to say who will lose and who will take advantage.

Another thing is that he wants to plant trees on both sides of the river, not tall trees. There are not so many trees on the grassland. He just wants to plant some willows, just ordinary willows.

First, the ordinary willow tree is useless and cannot be used to make arrows.

The second is that with the shelter of these trees, even if they want to charge the cavalry when the river freezes in winter... they can't get there!

When Tie Qing thought about this, he realized that all the preparations were to prevent the cavalry from charging.

Because the cavalry on the grassland is indeed invincible. Once they charge, they are really as sharp as life. Except for the tall city walls that can stop them, it is the khans of their tribes who can order them.

Tie Qing spent several days tinkering, and finally it became a design drawing, as well as various construction drawings and so on. After getting it all together, I felt that it was very good, so I showed it to my uncle, and proudly told He: "In the future, we can continue to sell goods to the grassland. Let me tell you that I have come up with an idea. If you say that the people's livelihood materials on the grassland are controlled by us, they will dare to prick us." Is it?"

Commodity dumping, this is a big project.

Xiao Wei looked dumbfounded: "I asked you to come out of the whole forum, and you came out with a whole city for me? What are you going to do?"

"Let's discuss the venue first. This is the venue. Not to mention shelter from the wind and rain. In winter, we have to burn fires to keep warm. Otherwise, so many people would freeze to death?" Tie Qing pointed to the drawing and said, "Let's discuss the three Five years, and then send troops to garrison, will expand the land ten miles soon?"

"You want to slowly nibble away at the grassland?" Xiao Wei was startled by Tie Qing's daring to think and do it, but at the same time he was very pleased because he thought so too, otherwise he wouldn't have asked to build a garden on the Liuhua River in the grassland ten miles away. field.

"It's so interesting!" Tie Qing said: "Even if you can't eat away at it slowly, you can use this place as an outpost and a bridgehead."

When he said this, Xiao Wei understood better: "Not bad."

"Also, the areas here are very clearly divided. Whoever sells everything has a certain place, and the rules and regulations should be written down. When the time comes, it will be stricter." Tie Qing said: "Don't send troops to garrison, just send troops to escort But, wait until three or five years later..."

"Go on." Looking at the blueprint, Xiao Wei realized that he really underestimated Tie Qing. The blueprint was not much worse than those master craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry.

"After three to five years, it will be said that there is not enough space, and a new negotiating field will be built. The place where the Liuhua River goes to the grassland for twenty miles is the Sanggan River." Tie Qing's heart is very big, and his vision is also very high: "At that time, we will build another negotiating field at the Sanggan River."

As for the debate on the Liuhua River side, it has naturally become a new pass!

It was easily included in Dazhen's territory.

"What a deep strategy." Xiao Wei watched for a long time, and had to say that Tie Qing was indeed a person who surprised him.

"You see how this matter works, you don't need to tell me, I just need to produce a design drawing." Tie Qing gave the blueprint, talked for a while, and was about to leave.

Xiao Wei didn't keep him either, he just sent several bird's nests to the Tie family, which would be for his younger brother's health, but afterward, Xiao Wei received an order from the court to return to Beijing to report on his duties.

"Return to Beijing to report on your work?" Fulang Xi rubbed his belly: "At this time?"

"Well, I haven't been back to Beijing to report on my work for several years. When I go back this time, what do you want to bring back?" Go to Beijing and talk to the emperor face to face.

"Then go, I'm here." Xi Fulang sighed: "I don't know what you are going to do, but think about me."

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal." Xiao Wei smiled, patted Xi Fulang's head, and stroked the broken hair on his temples: "When you married, you bought some properties in the north of the city. , this time it may be released."

"Huh?" Xi Fulang's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Although he had a lot of dowries, few of them could really be passed on to future generations.

That's why he bought the shop, thinking that even if he just sits and eats in the future, he will need a few more mountains to eat.

"Really, border trade is going to be opened, and a market is going to be established. Your side is just the place to go out of the customs. At that time, you only need those few inns to open for business." Xiao Wei saw that brother Xi was happy Laughing, he said: "And it is guaranteed to be full every day."

Xi Fulang's two inns and several shops have been tepid these years, making money is making money, but very little.

Barely making ends meet, it's only 80 taels a year.

It's not as much income as Tie Qing's family!

But Tie Qing already had a grain store, and Xi Fulang didn't open a grain store, so as not to rob business.

How much business can be done in this palm-sized place in Shulin County?

There are only a few caravans that can come every year, and there are not many things to buy and sell, especially the caravans that come from afar. The things they sell are nothing more than seafood, or dried seafood.

And every year everyone buys enough to eat for a year.

There are not many things in the Northland, it is nothing more than a few mountain treasures.

Now that the border trade has opened, Xi Fulang is very happy: "It's not in vain. I wrote several letters to Beijing."

Only then did Xiao Wei realize that Mr. Xi was also responsible for this.

The couple spent half the night at home, and Xi Fulang wrote a list the next day, asking Xiao Wei to go to the street to buy these things after he came to Beijing, in addition to working.

"Do you want to take Tie Qing there?" Lao Xiao boss thought of his equally capable son Xu.

I hope that my son can take him to learn more. Few people in the entire county have been to the capital.

"No need, he has to be at home when I leave home. When I am at home, he can leave." Xiao Wei said, "One of us must be at home."

If something happened if they were not at home, Xiao Wei was afraid that his family would not know what to do.

So there is a reason why he didn't take Tie Qing with him: "Besides, Brother Xi and Brother Xiao are both at home now."

These words completely dispelled the idea of ​​Lao Boss Xiao.

"Yes, if you don't go, you won't go." Old Aunt Xiao didn't care about that, she only had the two future children in her eyes, and Tie Qing had to stand aside.

When Xiao Wei left, he entrusted the camp to Li Jun and Shao Xiaobo.

Li Jun is smart, Shao Xiaobo is steady, and he can trust both of them.

It doesn't matter to Tie Qing, he is still very happy to take care of his husband and children at home and enjoy the happiness.

It was Brother Xiao, who asked Tie Qing curiously: "No one will come to our house this year!"

"Isn't it!" Xiao Geer didn't mention it, Tie Qing hadn't noticed yet, their family had people coming to their house for three years in a row, staying for several months, or even a year, but this year, no one came: " Is this the end of the business?"

After all, if he comes to take care of his body, he can earn 8000 taels of silver.

This is money that can last a lifetime for a farmer.

And Tie Qing also took out some gold in the space, and regarded it as this income, passed the Ming Road openly, and was able to spend the money openly.

"Impossible? I heard from my brother-in-law that many people in Beijing are terrified to death." Xiao Geer gossiped: "Why don't they come?"
