At the beginning, Emperor Yang of Sui was kidnapped

Chapter 273 Block 36 Manmin Square
As a fishing enthusiast.

Even though Pei Ju and Pei Yun came to Wanmin City, they would usually go fishing in the ravines during their occasional vacations.

This time, after witnessing Yan Liben's extraordinary painting skills, Pei Ju was the first to think about it.

He looked at Yan Liben expectantly.

however……

Yan Liben was not polite at all.

He directly refused and said, "My lord ordered me to draw [-] pictures, and now I don't have time to help others paint!"

He's busy as hell right now.

There are still 99 chapters of portraits to be drawn.

How can there be indirect private work?
Unexpectedly, Pei Ju chuckled and said: "As long as you agree to help the old man paint, the old man will cover all the expenses for your claim at the Lord's Mansion at noon in the future."

Yan Liben's eyes lit up.

His exile was a bit hasty this time.

I don't have much money on me.

The money for eating now is all his one month's salary in advance.

"Is this true?"

Yan Liben, who had just established the three never-paintings in his life, was shaken in an instant.

The main reason is that I really have no money to eat...

Although the food in Wanmin City was delicious, if he continued to claim it like this every day, he would have to eat dirt next month.

Can't you advance next month's salary again?

With his hands behind his back, Pei Ju said displeasedly: "The old man has passed his sixtieth year. At such an advanced age, how could he lie to you like a brat?"

In front of lunch and principles, Yan Liben began to hesitate left and right.

……

Luoyang.

This time, Xu Mu summoned Fang Xuanling.

Ready to start a big project again in 36 counties!

"Building Wanmin Square?" Fang Xuanling's voice was a little excited.

Because Xu Mu gave him a brief description of the scene.

He wants all 36 prefectures in Henan County to have a Manmin Square, a comprehensive square integrating bazaars, entertainment, etc.!
Of course, the main purpose is to hang his portrait on this large square!

Let the 3000 million people in the county know who their boss is now!

This is also the most critical part of the god-making movement!
"Build Wanmin Square, and encourage people to do business and settle in! According to the current trend, with those high-yield seeds and planting methods, Henan will no longer be short of food!" Immediately afterwards, Xu Mu pondered.

He formulated a major policy guideline for Henan County to encourage commerce.

In this regard, Fang Xuanling, who has seen the people in Wanmin City change their lives through business and become richer and richer, agrees with both hands.

It can be said that Wanmin City is a pilot city.

After verifying the feasible strategies inside, Xu Mu moved out to conduct another large-scale pilot in Henan County.

See if it fits the times.

If not, it can be abolished at any time.

The impact and damage caused by this is actually not great.

then……

With Xu Mu's order, Fang Xuanling began to implement the construction of 36 Manmin Squares.

"The location of this Manmin Square must be in the bustling center of each state, span as wide as possible, and build at least four floors!"

Xu Mu formulated a series of plans in accordance with the ideas of later generations of Wanda.

Implemented by Fang Xuanling, and responsible for investment matters.

Because it is located in Luoyang, and Luoyang has a large population and frequent merchants, the address of Wanmin Square was quickly selected.

Then the demolition and siege began!

Urban re-planning, inevitably, will also encounter the problem of demolition.

With the experience and lessons learned from the demolition of Wanmin City last time, Fang Xuanling paid enough compensation to those people this time.

The people whose houses were demolished happily received compensation and even helped demolish their own houses.

……

in the process of building.

All the people in Luoyang City began to watch.

"Is this some kind of palace to be built?"

"Which prince or minister's mansion is it?"

"The area is too wide..."

……

The common people thought it was some rich man who wanted to build houses, and the petty officials were ordered to introduce the Manmin Square to the common people.

"We are building Wanmin Square, and it is for everyone in Luoyang City! After the completion, everyone can come in and play!"

After some explanation, the common people became more curious about it.

The government of all dynasties has never built any places for ordinary people to play.

After the first bumper harvest and the taxation of the two tax laws, these common people, more or less, have a good impression of the Lord's Mansion.

After all, they passed this time, got the fields, got a lot of food, and paid taxes...

Compared with before, it is really very few!
Since Luoyang, the governor of the lord's mansion, they have received too many benefits.

"In order to speed up the progress, everyone can freely apply for civilian husbands. The daily wages of civilian husbands are at least [-] yuan!"

In order to cope with the shortage of manpower, the small officials are also publicizing in various ways, telling the common people to help together.

During Fang Xuanling's rectification of Henan County, the prestige of the Lord's Mansion was gradually established.

Now the 3000 million people in the county already know that Henan County has changed its master.

No longer Wang Shichong.

It's the lord's mansion, and... the lord who is said to come from the holy mountain and knows everything.

For the protagonist, they have never met before, just like Wang Shichong.

But they are extremely supportive of the major policies implemented by the Lord's Mansion.

Divide the land first, then persuade the farmers, and change the tax system to benefit the people. After the people experienced the benefits, they began to spontaneously support the policies of the Lord's Mansion.

……

After half a month.

With the help of reinforced concrete, the prototype frame of Wanmin Square in Luoyang City was built.

It attracted more and more people to watch.

This new type of housing structure, the common people saw it for the first time and thought it was very novel.

At the same time, Xu Mu called Lao Zhang to Luoyang again.

"My lord, are you going to start?"

Lao Zhang is gearing up and eager to try.

When the lord came back, he told him that the recruiting was about to begin.

After Zhang Xutuo heard about the recruiting system proposed by the lord, he was greatly surprised.

Before the Sui Dynasty, most of the soldiers came from military service.

But the idea of ​​the lord is to let the common people join the army spontaneously!

Although he was puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions.

Since the lord dared to say that, there must be his reasons.

Xu Mu nodded and said, "I've come to you this time mainly to...let you prepare for the next month's military parade!"

"A military parade?"

Zhang Xutuo was slightly taken aback.

He understood Xu Mu's thoughts. In fact, during the Qin and Han Dynasties, military parades would be held from time to time.

Please invite the barbarians from all directions to take a look, which will have the effect of deterring the four directions.

"This time is different. The guards of the 36 prefectures in the entire county, plus the Xiaoguo Army under your command, the elite under Xu Shiji's command, and the Tiefutu Heijia Army, will be ready for training from now on!"

Xu Mu took a deep breath.

After returning to Luoyang, he began to plan the military parade.

It's not like those colleagues showing off their force, but... for the 3000 million people in the county to see!

At that time, he will ask Yan Liben to come over!

Record the grand occasion of the military parade, so that it can be spread to 36 states!
"Now that the prestige of the Lord's Mansion is increasing, it is a good time to encourage the people to join the army voluntarily. Only such soldiers can fight!"

After Lao Zhang took orders to leave, Xu Mu found Fang Xuanling again and asked, "How are the preparations for the shadow puppetry going?"

Fang Xuanling immediately replied: "It is currently being rehearsed, and it is expected to be screened in Luoyang for the first time tomorrow. As for... other states, it may be later!"

Xu Mu's eyes lit up, and he warned: "This matter is very important, you will go to the premiere of this show with me tomorrow."

As the prestige of the Lord's Mansion increases, Xu Mu intends to use the shadow play to push the Lord's Mansion to its peak again!

For the next large-scale recruitment across the state!
At least three and a half million must be raised, right?

As for how these soldiers are trained, and who will command them...

It is estimated that in Wanmin City, Su Dingfang and others who have been trained for a period of time in the Whampoa Military Academy are all eager to try, thinking about going out and pretending to be aggressive.

……

The next day.

Under the escort of Wang Zhao, Xu Mu took Fang Xuanling to the Shadow Puppet Theater in Luoyang City.

The theater was built temporarily.

The kind that belongs to the open air.

After all, shadow puppetry is not a movie, so every time it is shown, it must be at night.

However, Xu Mu plans to turn it indoors after the construction of the Manmin Square is completed.

Put it in the Manmin Square and act as an entertainment place.

Because if you are indoors, as long as you lower the light, you will not be limited by time.

Shadow puppets can be shown anytime!
And it's free at this stage, but when the people in the county become addicted to watching the show, Xu Mu plans to charge for it.

"My lord, this place can accommodate about 2000 people. The subordinates asked the officials to organize the people to come. At first they were reluctant to come..."

While taking his seat, Fang Xuanling explained with a wry smile.

People in Luoyang don't like to listen to operas.

Especially things like shadow puppetry.

To be honest, if it weren't for the prestige of the little officials in the Lord's Mansion, the premiere of the first shadow puppet show would not even be able to gather a few people!

Xu Mu nodded.

The inherent traditions of Chinese people are slow to accept new things.

But Xu Mu believes that if you give them more times, these people will definitely become addicted!
"Bang!"

Soon, with a loud noise, amidst the lights, the shadow puppetry opened the curtain.

"Hey hey hey!"

Behind the curtain, someone was singing the lyrics, and the opening chapter gave people a very shocking feeling.

These common people have almost never seen shadow puppetry, and they were immediately attracted by the white curtain.

Under the light and shadow, they saw mountains and mountains.

I saw a winding mountain road.

I even saw a mountain city surrounded by clouds and mist, which goes back and forth!
Among the mountains, this city is vaguely visible, giving people a feeling of emptiness.

This is naturally Xu Mu's request, and it must be created... to be compelling!

People who don't know the truth will follow this trick.

Immediately afterwards, behind the curtain, a voice sounded again: "The 12th year of the great cause! The world is full of wars, disasters and famines everywhere, and countless people are displaced and precarious..."

He spoke in a low voice about a past event three years ago.

But it brought all the people present into that memory.
