Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 357 Private Transportation
In Qinghe City, Li Ji was traveling by horses and chariots.

This carriage and horse shop is located in an area near the city gate in the outer city of Qinghe City. The entire carriage and horse shop includes a row of four rooms facing the street and a courtyard at the back for parking vehicles.

The business of the entire chariot and horse shop is to rent horse-drawn carriages or transport materials over long distances. Because Qinghe Territory now has a vast territory and a large amount of materials are transshipped in Qinghe City, the business of the entire chariot and horse shop is still very good.

"I heard that the territory has opened up five counties to the south, and 55 counties have been drawn. Now there are scattered villages and towns, and there are no counties."

Inside the carriage and horse shop, the owner of the carriage and horse shop was talking to several of his subordinates who were in charge.

"Right now, our car and horse travel is nothing in Qinghe City, but we still have some ability. Now we are preparing a batch of supplies to go to the five counties in the south.

There is nothing there now, no matter what we bring over there, it is easy to sell, and in the five counties and counties, there is also a county town to buy a piece of land to set up a semi-colon for our car and horse dealer, and build a few warehouses, it will definitely be profitable earn. "

While talking, Boss Li looked at several clansmen in charge, and ordered.

"Now organize a group of convoys to advance along the road going south, and strive to reach the five southern counties as soon as possible."

Li Ji's car and horse trip came from the group of people who came with Li Xiuning back then, and had to relocate because of the monster invasion.

The Li family was originally a well-known wealthy household in the county seat. Because they were close to the edge of the mist, they just followed the flow of people and did not encounter monsters on the front line. Therefore, the Li family had enough time to pack up their belongings.

Including a large number of cattle and horses, gold and silver treasures, food, and various items, dozens of carts were fully loaded. At that time, it was because of a group of servants that the family property was protected.

After arriving in Qinghe Territory, the Li family didn't look for trouble. Seeing the situation in the territory, they quickly settled down in an assigned town.

According to the requirements of the territory, the family team was disbanded, and the clansmen also received a good amount of property to separate their families.

As the head of the family, he still had a certain status at that time. When the head of the family got to know Qinghe collar, he found that Qinghe collar encouraged business, as long as it did not break the law, unlike in ancient times, he needed a backer to do business.

And because there are soldiers stationed everywhere in the territory, and there are security officers in the city to maintain law and order, the order of the entire Qinghe Territory is very good.

All of these environments are very suitable for business. Seeing the opportunity, the head of the Li family gave up the land allocated to him, took the remaining family property in the county seat, and after recruiting several clan members from separate families, relying on his family's remaining The horse-drawn carts and ox carts that were bought, opened a cart and horse shop to transport materials in the county, and traveled between the counties.

It was by relying on this batch of materials that they started their business. With the expansion of Qinghe collar again and again, Liji Chariots and Horses also made a lot of money with several large transportations of materials.

For the money he earned, Boss Li chose to buy a place in the outer city of Qinghe City as the location of his car dealership, and then established branches in other counties to expand his business.

At the same time, in order to ensure enough cattle for the cart, Boss Li also seized the opportunity to sign a contract with a ranch, which will provide him with some cattle and horses for pulling carts every year.

It is because of this step by step that Liji Chariot & Horse Company is also an upper-middle-level transportation company in Qinghe City. It is based in Qinghe City, and has established branches in other counties. Created a site.

Because of this, when rune telegrams and telephones appeared, Boss Li also saw the convenience of communication, and invested in the purchase of a batch, becoming the first batch of private companies in Qinghe to own telegrams and telephones.

Now that there are five counties added to the territory of Qinghe, Li Ji Carriage and Horse Company must expand, or it will be overtaken by other transportation companies.

This time, Boss Li is going to inspect the market in person.Because most of the newly established counties and cities start from scratch, no matter what kind of materials are in short supply.

Boss Li raised a large convoy of fifty ox carts and fifty horse carts to buy supplies in Qinghe City and prepare to move along the road.

Li Ji's big move also gave other chambers of commerce an opportunity. For example, a grain merchant was going to send a batch of grain to Xinjun to test the market.

There are also some canneries and farms that want to build new factories in Xin County, so they originally organized a fleet of [-] vehicles. Boss Li didn't need to raise supplies for [-] vehicles, and [-] of them were rented by various chambers of commerce.

In the end, after thinking about it, Boss Li chose construction materials for the remaining [-] vehicles, including reinforced concrete, and construction tools such as saws and axes.

And there are some convoys like Boss Li in other counties, such as Xixi County, Southwest County, Shouchun County, Nanyang County and so on.

When the government affairs department organized manpower to build roads, the folks had already started to transport materials. In this way, a large amount of material transportation spontaneously caused the newly occupied five southern counties to start large-scale construction.

Of course, the government affairs office is not idle either. Apart from the road construction, the smelting equipment supporting the iron mines in Cheorwon County, as well as various processing plant equipment are constantly being transported. Cheorwon County will become a new heavy industry base in Qingheling in the future.

The convoy of Li Ji's chariots and horses left Qinghe City, Qinghe County, starting from the South Gate, and proceeding along a cement road composed of bridges and tunnels.

Along the way, Boss Li walked through the tunnel illuminated by rune lamps, and walked across the valley on the bridge tens of meters high, looking at the valleys on both sides.

In that valley, there are still some villages and towns, as well as mountain roads and winding mountain roads that were originally built, some sighed.

"It is indeed a territory. This road is shocking every time. The original territory was only a small territory with tens of thousands of people. Under the development of the lord, not only the population has reached nearly ten million, but also such a cross-span can be built. The mountain bridge, and the huge tunnel that opens up the mountain.

It's really amazing, it's really good to live here. "

Boss Li had lived in Datang for 30 years and had a good understanding of the productivity of the dynasty. Such a bridge is a spectacle for Datang.

After joining Qingheling, there are dozens of such bridges, not only in the mountains of Nancheng County, but also in Dongshan and Xishan counties in the north.

Near this highway bridge, there is a new bridge not far away, and on that bridge are railroad tracks being laid.

Boss Li is no stranger to the rune train. When the rune train appeared, Boss Li took a special ride and saw the speed and transportation capacity of the rune train. Part of rune train transport.

But now, the railway in Qinghe City is still being laid, and only the section between Qinghe City and Yuanbei County is in trial operation.This caused Boss Li's transportation plan to be temporarily stranded.

The convoy traveled between the bridge and the tunnel. This time, the convoy did not enter Nancheng County, but continued along the bridge, passing through tens of kilometers of mountains and hills in Nancheng County, and came to the wilderness county on the plain.

Walking out of Nancheng County, heading south, the mainland turned into an open concrete road again. I bought a batch of food at a post station in Huangyuan County, and set up a camp on the side of the road to rest with dry food.

Because a convoy of hundreds of vehicles and a team of hundreds of people cannot be accommodated by a post station, and because the beasts in Huangyuan County have been wiped out, they can rest on the side of the road.

Of course, because of the rest, the convoy could not occupy the road, so the entire convoy set up a tent on the flat ground by the roadside and began to rest.

Early the next morning, after feeding the cows and horses, having breakfast, and packing the luggage, the convoy continued to set off.

The next day the convoy traveled fifty kilometers, passed through Huangyuan County, left the boundary of Qinghe County, and arrived at the boundary of Pingdong County.

There are flat roads along the way, and the speed is much faster. It only took two days. In Pingdong County, because the south is the newly established county, it is easy to inquire about the news.

According to the news from the small convoy going there, the cement road from Pingdong County and Pingxi County to Muyuan County has been completed, and now the road is being built from Muyuan County in the middle of the five counties to the counties on both sides.

After hearing the news about Xiutong in Muyuan County, Boss Li led the team and moved on. He left the southernmost county in Pingdong County and continued along the cement road.

Seeing the eight-carriage avenue that has been drawn in front of him, he can't see the end at a glance, walking beside the carriage, he couldn't help sighing.

"As expected of a territory, it's only been less than a month since the establishment of the five southern counties, and such an avenue has already been completed."

Walking on this flat concrete road, all the way forward, Boss Li also saw a town or even a village as a county seat.

Around such a county, a large amount of land has been developed, roads are being repaired, and houses are constantly being built.

Because a boulevard runs through the entire county, and the convoys and people on this boulevard are densely packed, the county magistrates who took office in these two counties also seized the opportunity.

The originally determined county seat was directly moved to the side of the avenue, and the county seat was built around this avenue.And some caravan exchanges brought a lot of supplies, which made some more shops in the two counties.

Boss Li learned that the village that looked like a larger village along the way was the county seat. Without further ado, Boss Li found the commercial department under the town's government affairs department.

After checking with the commercial department of the county government affairs department with the commercial approval document and current approval document of the chariot and horse shop, it was registered and filed, and a piece of land was allocated in the county to establish a branch of the chariot and horse shop.

Boss Li knows that this county looks like a village now, but since it is determined to be a county, it will definitely develop according to the scale of the county in the future.

At that time, under the expansion, it is the time for the development of the car and horse industry.Moreover, in order to win over various chambers of commerce, the county government affairs department specially allocated a piece of land and leased it to the chambers of commerce for ten years free of charge.

This generous investment also made some chambers of commerce in the convoy make the same choice, leaving a few people behind to prepare a branch of the chamber of commerce.

And some caravans did not bring so many people because they came here for the first time, so they could only look at the generous treatment given by the two county government departments and secretly decided to recruit more people to build branches here after returning.

Passing through two county towns, the county town of Muyuan County in front is just a bigger town now.

There is only one main road in the whole town, with ordinary wooden houses on both sides of the street. The road has been transformed into a stone road because the engineering mages passed by.

The arrival of such a convoy made the sheriff of Muyuan County, who wanted to show his talents, very happy. He took the time to meet with Boss Li. This was one of the few opportunities for Boss Li to meet high-ranking officials.

After filing with the Government Affairs Department, Li Ji Chariot and Horse Company bought a large piece of land in Muyuan County at a very cheap price. Using the building materials carried by the car and horse dealer, they purchased a large number of bricks and tiles at the Muyuan County Brick Factory, and started The sub-point construction of chariot and horse shops in the county city was launched.

Counties and counties need large-scale construction if they want to develop, and large-scale construction requires a lot of building materials. Although clay for firing bricks is common, it requires a lot of manpower and fuel, and the production is in short supply.

For this reason, the county government affairs department specially found an engineering team, recruited a few engineering mages who had no work in their hands, and chose an open space beside the county town to dig soil and make bricks.

Using the mud-to-stone spell of an engineering mage, the mud is divided into pieces and made into stone bricks. A mage can also produce tens of thousands of bricks a day, which can be regarded as supplementing the problem of the construction of the county city.

When the chariot and horse shop bought the land and started construction, Boss Li also walked around the county town a few times and saw many houses under construction, and these houses were all buildings with concrete and steel structures, including some residential areas.

According to the plan of the Muyuan County Government Affairs Department, although the entire Muyuan County has a small population, it can be said that the development of agriculture is suitable because the entire county is a plain terrain.

Therefore, population growth in the future is inevitable. As the entire county town of Muyuan County, the population will gradually increase. Instead of developing a little bit in the future, it is better to plan now.

Residential areas, schools, libraries, hospitals, parks, commercial areas, industrial areas, and other facilities have all been planned. Now that the professional engineering team under the General Administration Department is here, some foundations have been completed quickly.

In this way, a large number of facilities have been built, and people who migrate in the future will be able to quickly integrate into the county.

Li Ji’s journey of traveling by car and horse is the epitome of the development of the five southern counties led by Qinghe, and it is also the views of other counties on the five southern counties.

It is precisely this kind of spontaneous flow of business from a large number of private chambers of commerce that has made Qinghe City's development of the five southern counties much faster.

But now Di Feng is not idle.

After a busy month, the deployment of the five southern counties was barely completed, and Di Feng, who was about to rest, received the information.

In the southern mountain forest, a group of savages appeared. These savages attacked several outposts on the border, but because of the tight firepower of the outposts and timely support, the savages returned without success.

There were still a few corpses left, but those savages also showed strong fighting power. Cooperating with the domesticated beasts, they wounded many soldiers and destroyed two outposts.

"Since these savages are not willing to live in peace, why should we live in peace?"

Di Feng said loudly in his tent.

"Now the general tasks of the five counties have been completed, and everything is on the right track. Now immediately gather the Wolf Totem Legion and the Sharp Legion. In addition, the Women's Army Legion will be transferred to form the Southward Army. Give me a good fight."
