There were many people gathered under the city wall, and they were so tight that the water could not be drained. Xia Hongsheng approached the past and squeezed into the crowd, but was not found.

Through the cracks, Xia Hongsheng saw the busy figure inside, his head was covered with sweat because he was busy, but the cheerful smile on his face was really not seen for a long time.

After thinking about it, Xia Hongsheng silently withdrew from the crowd again.

"This matter is treated as if you haven't seen it, you two stay here, and when your sister-in-law comes out in the future, you will quietly follow and secretly protect your sister-in-law. There are also a lot of scoundrels in Chang'an City, so you two will watch more in the future. Xia Hongsheng instructed the two family members: "If there is nothing to do, if anyone dares to come forward to make trouble, give me a discount for his legs!" ”

"Yes, Childe!" The two family members took the order.

Xia Hongsheng didn't bother her sister-in-law, since she was willing to do this, she could get happiness from it, and she didn't have to worry about it.

Now that they have all arrived here, Xia Hongsheng did not go back home, but went to Dongshi. The project in the East Market has begun to sweep the end, and the stores inside have already had owners long before the construction began, and have been designed according to the needs of different stores, and once opened, they can be used directly. The West Market has not been designed too much, if it is not too simple, it can be used directly, and if you want to renovate it according to the business done by your own store, it will not increase the cost too much.

After the opening of the West Market, it will be sold in a unified store. The shops that were burned down before were not allowed to be granted the privileges of the shops in advance because the imperial court had already given them money as compensation.

The front of the storefront, the location facing the street. There are also places where small vendors can set up their stalls. It is right in the middle of the two entrances. It can't block the façade.

Whether it is the East Market or the West Market, all the facades are only rented and not sold. As for the rent, Xia Hongsheng said that it doesn't matter, it has to be said by the imperial court. As for the vendors, they do not need to pay rent. The city administration has already sent people to the market on Xia Hongsheng's Zhuangzi in Jingyang to learn how to manage the market. I have to say. Jingyang "Xiaoxi Market", or called Jingyang Market, not to mention the rest, just clean and orderly is enough to make the market feel much better.

Many shops in the East Market have been sent to clean up, and Xia Hongsheng found his ill-fated storefront, which has been built according to Xia Hongsheng's design.

"Childe!" A person hurriedly ran in outside, it was the supervisor sent by Zhuangzi, who went over to salute Xia Hongsheng: "Son." You're here! ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded and asked, "How has the tail-sweeping project in the East City been done?" When will the market open? ”

"Back to Childe's words. The market is ready to open at any time, and today the foreman is going to ask someone to calculate the time, so that he can pack up his things and hand them over. The supervisor replied to Xia Hongsheng: "As for the time of opening the market, it has to be determined by the Ministry of Industry." ”

"Has Yan Shangshu been here today?" Xia Hongsheng asked again.

As soon as the words fell, I heard a burst of laughter coming in from outside: "Hahahaha, who is looking for the old man?" ”

Before people arrived, it seemed to be the habit of the Tang people, and as soon as he turned his head, Yan Lide had already strode in.

"Yan Shangshu seems to have met with something good!" Xia Hongsheng smiled and said hello.

"Haha, thanks to Xiahou's concern, the second city of this thing is about to open, and the old man finally doesn't have to run at both ends, it's a happy event!" Yan Lide said with a smile: "Three days later, the East Market will open first, the West Market will begin to attract merchants to settle in, and half a month later, the West Market will open." Xiahou's business strategy can be compared with Tao Zhugong! According to Xiahou's method, just bidding to settle in can harvest a lot of money for the imperial court, and then the annual rent is a long-term income! ”

"The wool is out of the sheep, Yan Shangshu has to be careful that after those merchants start, in order to rush to recover what they have invested before, they will raise prices!" Xia Hongsheng reminded.

Yan Lide stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's not under the jurisdiction of the old man!" The city bureau ordered to send people to Jingyang to study for so long, if you can't even do this, it will be a joke! ”

"Three days ......" Xia Hongsheng groaned for a while and said, "In this way, I have to start putting things in here today." ”

Yan Lide looked at Xia Hongsheng and couldn't help asking: "Many of these Manchu Dynasty cultural relics also have industries behind them, and everyone knows it, but they don't break it." On the surface, he has always avoided the actions of merchants, but Xiahou did not hide it at all. ”

Xia Hongsheng was looking around, and when he heard Yan Lide say this, he smiled and said, "It's probably because of the concept I received, which is different from others!" In my eyes, no matter how high or low, each performs its own duties, and all of them are indispensable. ”

"That's the same reason." Yan Lide sighed and said, "The old man has been thinking about giving the craftsmen in the military machine workshop some benefits, but unfortunately he has been impeached several times, and there has been no result until now. I hate those people, I don't know what the craftsmen in the military machine workshop and the things made from them have done for the Tang Dynasty! - Alas, I can't complain about them, the old man didn't look at those craftsmen before he did this Ministry of Works......

Hearing Yan Lide say this, Xia Hongsheng's heart suddenly moved, and he asked with a smile: "Yan Shangshu, if someone wants to invite you to teach in a college that is better than a military academy, not to learn calligraphy and painting from you, but to teach you the knowledge of engineering and architecture, are you willing?" Naturally, it will not delay your affairs in the imperial court, and in your spare time, you can just teach in the past. ”

Yan Lide's eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "Xiahou wants the old man to teach Xiahou the method of construction in the academy in Jingyang?" ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, but after thinking about it again, Yan Lide, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, naturally couldn't hide this matter from him.

So he smiled and said: "Yan Shangshu is very well-informed, so I won't hide it from Yan Shangshu." I want to build a academy in Jingyang, where I will teach the method of learning things. Yan Shangshu was born in a family of engineers, and once served as a Shangyi Fengyu, a young craftsman, a master craftsman, and now he is a secretary of the Ministry of Works. Yan Shangshu designed costumes, umbrellas and ceremonial guards for the court, and built palaces and mausoleums, which were deeply praised and reused by His Majesty. Doesn't Yan Shangshu want to learn and pass on his own skills, and pass on his ability to build this body to future generations, which will benefit future generations? ”

"This ......" Yan Lide laughed, brushing his beard, and said with a smile: "It's better to wait for Xiahou to build the academy, hehe, Xiahou don't have to be careful, how can the old man want these construction methods to be buried?" (To be continued.) )
