Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2074

Hearing that Qin Tian asked him to be responsible for farming, Qin Wu felt a little reluctant in his heart.

He is a person who wants to lead the army to fight, how can he grow crops?
"My lord, is this kind of crop going to someone else? I'm still willing to do other things with my lord."

In Qin Tian's place, Qin Wu said whatever he wanted.

When Qin Tian heard Qin Wu's words, he knew that he had an idea, but regarding this, Qin Tian just shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate the matter of farming, this matter is now our top priority in Xiliang. The most important thing is that without food and grass, we can't do anything. The reason why I asked you to take charge of this matter is because the king trusts you and recognizes your ability, so you must not refuse. If this matter is successful, you will be indispensable. reward."

Farming is a major event. After Qin Wu heard it, although he was still a little unhappy in his heart, he still agreed.

After saying this, Qin Tian continued talking.

"In addition to the problem of food and grass, there is also the problem of soldiers and horses. We now have about [-] soldiers and horses in Liangzhou City. Safety is at stake, so while raising food and grass, we should also find a way to recruit troops. I am going to hand over the matter of conscription to Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin. I hope you two can recruit some soldiers for me in Xiliang as soon as possible. , As for how to recruit, I don't care, it's all up to you to figure out a way."

The matter of conscription is also a major matter, Cheng Chumo and the others have experience before, now Qin Tian entrusts this matter to them, Qin Tian is still very relieved.

When Cheng Chumo and the others heard this, they didn't hesitate much, and immediately agreed, and then they began to think about how to recruit soldiers and horses next.

"After talking about conscription and food, the next thing we want to talk about is the construction of Liangzhou City. First of all, the city towers. The city of Liangzhou City has been destroyed in this war. Well, this tower must be rebuilt, but since it needs to be built, it can’t be built weakly like before. I’m going to make something called cement to repair the city. The wall can make the tower very strong, and the enemy wants to rush in, but it is not so easy."

Hearing that Qin Tian was going to make something like cement, everyone was a little curious. Can this thing really make the tower very strong?
But although everyone was curious, they didn't ask too much. I'm afraid Qin Tian will have to wait for Qin Tian to get it out before everyone can see whether it works. Now, it's useless to talk too much.

"In addition to the construction of the city tower, there is another thing. This king plans to choose a place in Liangzhou City to build a commercial street. This commercial street is somewhat similar to the two cities of the East and the West. It is mainly a place where merchants gather."

When the Silk Road was unblocked, merchants from various countries gathered in Liangzhou City, and there were also some markets for these merchants to trade, but those markets were relatively casual and not large-scale. In Qin Tian's view, it was simply tasteless .

Since he wants to build a commercial street, the bigger the better, he wants all the businessmen who come here to buy what they want. Only in this way can his Liangzhou city be prosperous and lively.

However, just after Qin Tian finished speaking, some people were puzzled.

"My lord, the Silk Road has been blocked by the Turkic people. Even if we build a commercial street in Liangzhou City, it will be useless. There are no merchants coming to us. What kind of commercial street are we building now? It's purely a waste of money, the official thinks that things in the commercial street might as well be slowed down."

They need to buy food and grass, and they also need to conscript soldiers. For conscription, they need to pay settlement allowances and salaries. All of these need money. In Liangzhou City today, how much money is there?
In the past when Qin Tian was as wealthy as an enemy, they would not have worried about anything, but now that Qin Tian has dissipated all his wealth and they have no money, if this matter is dispensable or not in a hurry, they might as well wait until later.

After the official came forward, others joined in.

"Yes, my lord, the current trade has almost been cut off. We don't have many people here. What kind of commercial street do we have?"

"That's right, that's right, it's better to use this money for other places. If you want to recruit soldiers, give them more settlement allowances, maybe many people will be willing to serve as soldiers."

"Whoever says no, whoever says no, my lord, the current money should be used wisely."

Everyone was talking, but Qin Tian shook his head: "I'm afraid the commercial street is time-consuming. If you wait for those merchants to come, the commercial street will not be ready. This will be very detrimental to the development of our Liangzhou City. Within a year, it will definitely be taken back by my Tang Dynasty. We will build a commercial street first, and after the opening of the Silk Road, those merchants will be able to trade here."

Everything that is not planned is abandoned, and the commercial street must be set up first, and as long as the commercial street is up, for Qin Tian, ​​there will be no worries about no merchants coming.

At that time, he will let Uncle Fu get some products. If people in Chang'an City or other places want to get these things, they have to come to his Liangzhou City.

This can be done when the commercial street is built, but now, let's discuss it roughly.

Qin Tian explained the situation. After everyone listened to it, although they felt that what Qin Tian said was reasonable, they still felt a little confused in their hearts, but judging by Qin Tian's appearance, he seemed to be very persistent. , even if they objected, it would be useless.

"Since the prince has decided, then we will obey."

"Yes, I don't know who the prince wants to entrust this matter to."

Qin Tian thought for a while, and said: "The person who is most familiar with the entire Liangzhou City is Wu Dalong, Mr. Wu. You might as well leave this matter to Wu Dalong. This commercial street must be big enough, and at the same time, it must be built fast enough. OK."

After finishing speaking, Wu Dalong next to him was stunned for a moment, he thought that Qin Tian would not arrange anything for him.

Because he is not Qin Tian's direct descendant after all, for many important matters, Qin Tian should give priority to Cheng Chumo and others, but what he didn't expect was that Qin Tian would hand over this matter to him.

This can be regarded as a big event. Doesn't Qin Tian show Qin Tian's trust in him by doing so?

For a moment, Wu Dalong trembled a little.

"My lord, don't worry, the construction of the commercial street will be done for you by the lower officials. If you can't do it well, the lower officials will come to see you."

Wu Dalong was very excited.
