Lang Son.

In this land full of hope, although there are countless dirt, all kinds of noise and ridiculousness, here it carries dreams.

There are many injustices here, hidden behind this prosperity, and I don’t know how many miserable things are.

In Lang Son's yamen, there are countless complaints received every day, including child labor, slave labor, and traitors being bullied and cheated.

But this is a place of hope. As long as you come, you can change your situation and have hope. Will the kings, princes, generals and ministers be willing to have a seed? Others can earn money, but they can earn money. Almost all the people who flock to Lang Son from all over the place have nothing to lose. Since a person who has nothing to lose will gather here with the dream of having enough food, clothing and even making a name for himself.

Recently, Taoist sects have begun to be rampant. Many Taoist sects recruit disciples in docks and some commercial gathering areas. Even at many docks, in order to grab business, some porters organized themselves to fight against others. Sometimes there were even fierce conflicts, and beating people to death was common.

For this reason, Duke Luguo's Mansion finally couldn't stand it anymore and had to add police to crack down on Taoist sects.

In fact, in the past, a county only required a few dozen people. A county only needed a county magistrate, a county magistrate, and a chief clerk. If the regime did not go to the county, the traditional ruler was no longer able to adapt to the situation of Langshan. In fact, before we knew it, Langshan, from the government to the grassroots county governments, the county governments were changing. The population increased, so the number of policemen was needed. The number of policemen continued to expand from a few dozen people. Finally, there were as many as a thousand people. As the city continued to expand, the police had to be stationed in various parts of the city. So there was a Police Bureau, which set up dozens of police stations under the Police Bureau. Because of the development of industry and commerce, water and land routes had to be cleared, and traffic problems became increasingly apparent. The original official road could no longer carry this huge flow of people and vehicles, and connecting the river channel became an urgent task. Fortunately, there was some money here in Langshan. With the money, bridges and roads needed to be built, and

This kind of project is no longer like an ordinary county government. For political achievements, it can be completed in a few months. Lang Son's transportation is a long-term project, and even necessary maintenance must be provided after construction. Therefore, it is impossible to recruit civil servants and temporarily let the yamen worker take charge. A special transportation bureau naturally came into being. They were responsible for building roads and opening up waterways. Recently, the transportation bureau has had an extremely bold idea, hoping to connect the waterways in Jiaozhi, Guangxi and other places, build a Grand Canal, which runs through Jiaozhi, and can even connect with other provinces and countries. This idea was a fantasy in the eyes of many people, but the Duke of Luguo actually began to pay attention. Then, some people began to invite the Duke of Gong to discuss the construction of the canal. Everyone gathered their ideas and actually had a plan.

But the money spent is terrifying, with more than 13 million silver patterns, which is an astronomical number, and it is enough to make people tremble when they think about it.

Even the Hao family may not be able to get this money, but there is a way. Duke Luguo communicated with his son who was far away in the capital every day, and Hao Fenglou thought of a way.

Once the river is cleared, the efficiency of freight will be greatly improved, and the freight will plummet. From the previous one thousand kilograms of goods, five large trucks, five grooms, seven or eight guards, eating and drinking along the way, it will take a month to arrive. However, once the canal is built, a ship can carry tens of thousands of kilograms of goods, and only a few people can arrive in four or five days. The freight alone can change from the original ten taels to one tael of silver.

In this case, the canal will inevitably charge fees for shipping goods. Even if it is charged five taels of silver, it is worth it for merchants, not to mention the time saved.

The Transportation Bureau has set up a canal construction commercial bank to start raising funds. Once the canal is completed in the future, most of the income collected will be distributed in the form of dry shares, except for a part of the fixed funds used for maintenance and dredging.

The Hao family was rich and took the lead in taking out three million taels of silver. Anything that has a prospect is inevitably touching. Moreover, the Hao family set an example, and the wealthy families and tycoons in Lang Son also began to become enthusiastic. After all, this is the business of future generations. As long as the shares are bought today, as long as the canal is still there in the future, they can enjoy the dividends for generations. Although the investment cycle seems to be too long, everyone understands that once the canal is built, there will definitely be thousands of cargo ships on the river channel. It is not difficult to fight every day.

Therefore, the subscribers are like crucian carp in the river, and Lang San is more money. Many people have accumulated a lot of wealth in their hands, and they just regret that they cannot open up more wealth paths.

More than 10 million taels of silver were collected in just half a month, but those that came late would instead feel regretful.

If you have money, you will naturally be able to do it. The surveying and mapping of the river channel had been completed before, and the plan had been revised several times. With the result, Liang Chao, the head of the Transportation Bureau, was named Liang Chao. He organized the construction of bridges and roads and had accumulated a lot of engineering experience. Therefore, although the construction of the canal project is huge, it is easy to get out of the way.

The most important one is of course recruiting people. The excavation of rivers is also carried out in sections, and the labor required is tens of thousands. Fortunately, there is a special coolie camp here in Lang Son. This coolie camp is full of major prisoners in the past war, and a considerable number of them are criminals. Most of these personnel have been allocated, with more than 9,000 people. But these are not enough, especially some special stonemasons and some skilled technicians, but they are short of them, so they cannot avoid posting notices and recruiting them in large quantities.

Lang Son's population has long exceeded millions. Lang Son is no longer the so-called Lang Son county in the past. It had been abolished a long time ago. Instead, it formed a seven or eight counties that combine into one, including the so-called Grand Lang Son in Haipong and other places. However, although the population is large, the workshops, docks and even ordinary shops require a lot of staff. Suddenly, the government began to recruit people again, which inevitably made people short of labor. Even if a large number of people pour in every month, the demand for manpower is still strong, and it is not easy to recruit people. As a result, some wages must be increased.

However, once the canal affairs are given money and food, the specific details will naturally be handed over to the Transportation Bureau. Hao Zheng was in a very good mood here at Duke Luguo Mansion, and the canal affairs have been put aside for a long time.

The imperial court's order was to add a small list. Not only that, the second person to draft the charter, Mr. Yang also sold his favor and set up the location of the small list of scientific examinations in Lang Son in the charter. Now the imperial court has ordered Lang Son to build the examination institute in preparation for the imperial examination.

This is a small matter. With Lang Shan’s financial resources, building a Confucian Temple and setting up an examination room is not a small matter. At present, the small-listed areas are Guangxi, Jiaozhi, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangdong Province, and the content to be tested is Chen Xue. In this way, scholars in these six provinces will no longer have any interest in Neo-Confucianism. Chen Xue finally has a basic foundation, and Lang Shan will definitely become a gathering place for all students. At that time, the literary style will be gathered and I don’t know what it is.

The consolidation of Chen Xue's status was not easy. Some of Chen Xue's great scholars knew what was going on. Without Hao Fenglou and His Highness Zhao's mediation in the capital, it would be impossible for them to be there today. Master Chen was already preparing to enter the capital and had already compiled a letter before. Although he did not mention the gratitude, he was very close in his words and conversations. This kind of thing was tacitly understood. Everyone's closest ally. Without the Hao family, Chen Xue could not get up. Without the support of the chaebol led by the Hao family, Chen Xue would not be able to go on. If they can support you, they can be able to support others. Everyone's interests are closely related, and everyone knows it.

The Duke of Luguo Mansion is no longer just a public residence. It has long become a decision-making agency, with as many as a hundred staff members, some specializing in personnel affairs, some taking into account transportation, some responsible for public security, some offering suggestions, and formulating policies. At this moment, another news came, which really surprised Hao Zheng.

After the imperial court's order, Yang Shiqi, a bachelor of the cabinet, went to Guangxi, Lang Son urged the small list to appease the student Chen. Hao Fenglou, the commander of the Jinyiwei, went together.

Hao Fenglou is going to return to Lang Son.

This was something Hao Zheng had never expected. Although the wind had already blown before and said that Yang Shiqi might be coming, why did Hao Fenglou come?

Hao Zheng was a little confused. His son is now the commander of the Jinyiwei, so how could he go? Moreover, the decree did not express Hao Fenglou's responsibilities, which inevitably made Hao Zheng a little confused.

Fortunately, no matter what, since we can come back, it is better. Although the father and son were dating with letters, they still made it easier to meet and say a lot of things.
