Chapter 885(1/2)

Yan Yunge decided to change his name.

Of course, she didn't change her name to herself, but wanted to change her name to the Imperial City.

She thought the imperial city was not nice.

Moreover, since the capital is to be rebuilt, the imperial city is not qualified to continue to be a capital.

After thinking about it, I should take a name worthy of the past identity of the Imperial City and be conducive to future development, and finally named it "Xijing Prefecture".

One reason is that the imperial city is located to the west of the capital.

Secondly, this city is also the "ancient capital of the three dynasties", with the Northern Qi Dynasty that passed through Sima Dou, the Northern Wei Dynasty that Xiao Chengye was, and the Northern Liang Dynasty of the Liu family.

It is definitely a veritable ancient capital of the three dynasties, and it is not an exaggeration at all.

Therefore, only "Xijing Prefecture" deserves the identity and status of this city.

Xiao Yi had no objection at all.

The yamen had no objection, and even if they had any objections, they were suppressed.

So, after Yan Yunge arrived at the imperial city for half a month, the big gilded characters hanging on the city gate were officially renamed Xijing Prefecture.

From now on, the people here will be the people of Xijing Prefecture.

Xijing Prefecture City, inside and outside the city, is a large construction site.

Roads are being built inside the city, and roads are also being built outside the city.

Although this city was once the ancient capital of the three dynasties, the roads in the city were sparse except for a few main roads that were passed by noble people.

The road that once paved with bluestone was crushed year after year, plus the raging sewage.

If you step on the road, you will rush to the knees and slapped directly.

That's pretty good.

In some streets, the paved bluestone slabs were pried away by whom in unknown years, leaving one dirt after another on the road.

Year after year, the roads are muddy and sewage cannot be discharged, which is not even as good as rural roads.

There are also a large number of streets, and from the day the city was built, the road was paved with yellow mud.

The sky is clear and dust is flying all over the sky.

On rainy days, one foot down and one foot down and one foot down and one foot down.

It is even more devastating than the official road that has been disrepaired.

Yan Yunge patrolled the city and waved his hand to repair it!

The yamen immediately started to move, and the wealthy merchants also moved.

Promoting funds to build roads seems to have no money to make money.

But the wealthy merchants don't care at all.

Of course, they are not unsung heroes who do good deeds without leaving their names. They just know that it is not profitable to build roads for Mrs. Yan, but Mrs. Yan will compensate them elsewhere.

For example, if you contract a road construction project of ten streets, you can get a share of salt farms or a salt industry monopoly qualification.

In the past, Yanyunge had only a few counties in territory, and both the salt and sugar industries could make a fortune.

It makes no sense. Now I have to spend half of the country but can't make money.

The rich merchants are full of confidence in Yan Yunge.

If the confidence value is 100, the confidence value of the wealthy merchants in Yan Yungedi is 200.

The projects she manages will definitely make money, and it will definitely make money.

Big merchants with a keen sense of smell have begun to purchase a large number of houses in the city, which has directly brought the housing prices in Xijing Prefecture to a higher level.

Many ordinary people are calculating the value of their houses, and should they buy another one after selling them?

The city is lively and the city is even better outside.

Outside the Xijing Prefecture City, there is a large construction site.

Tens of thousands of coolies started construction, clearing ditches, digging roadbeds, laying and repairing house foundations, repairing water conservancy, and reclaiming wasteland...

In a large construction site with tens of thousands of people, the number of people working in the number of workers is still increasing.

Look, at the gate of the warehouse, there are workers recruiting every day and queuing up in long queues every day.

The first batch of civilians who worked for ten days and received their wages gave everyone an excellent demonstration.

That is: fair wages, timely settlement, and food and accommodation.

If you want to talk about the disadvantages, there are also some.

High work intensity, long working hours and strict management.

Why not urinate or defecate anywhere? Wash your hands before and after meals. You can only drink boiled water and boil it in a boil. Don’t drink cold water directly...

There are so many details and rules of life like this.

Some people even had their wages deducted for a day because they didn't queue up for food and went to the line at will, and they cried for a long time.

The lesson from the past is that the salary of ten cents a day is deducted because I don’t queue up, so whimper...

The lesson is still in front of you, and there is really no one who is rich enough to challenge the rules.

No matter how bad it is, it cannot stop people from experiencing work.

The Recruitment Department has been lively for a day.

After the northern minors walked onto the construction site, finally a bold refugee also intervened in the team and went to recruit coolies.

Just for this, locals and refugees almost had a large-scale fight.

Thanks to the guard camp arrived in time to maintain order.

In the minds of local ordinary people, the job that Mrs. Yan was only a local and refugees were not qualified.

Everyone is worried that once refugees apply for the recruitment, they will lower their wages and cause locals to have no work to do.

After learning the inside story, the solution is simple.

Directly post requirements and treatment to the recruitment office.

Regardless of local common people or refugees, they are treated equally, with equal pay for equal work and the wages remain unchanged.

And let the clerks carry loudspeakers to promote on the construction site and not to confront the refugees.

If a refugee has no job, cannot earn money, and cannot afford to eat, he will become a rioter.

Now, as life improves, no one wants to cause chaos and destroy the good situation.

Wu Shouye went to the construction site to work as a licensing office, and he also took on the licensing office work.

He chatted with his colleagues, "The government must accept some refugees to work on the construction site, at most they are separated and everyone will build different sections of roads.

There is basically no chance to meet on weekdays. Moreover, the government has issued a notice that the wages remain unchanged and equal pay for equal work. Recruiting refugees will not lower everyone's wages."

"Is it reliable? Now I'm saying that I won't lower the wages, and I'll recruit those refugees tomorrow and lower the wages by half in one breath. How can everyone survive?"

The workers were worried.

According to experience, I always feel that the affairs of the government are unreliable.

This is not the first time that orders have been changed every day.

That's what it is today, that's what it is tomorrow...

Wu Shouye understood the colleagues' thoughts very well, "Even if everyone doesn't believe in the government, they should believe in Mrs. Yan.

When I was on vacation last time, who went to the city? Now the city is also doing construction everywhere, building roads and houses, as if I have endless money to spend.

Those merchants all made money together, and it was so lively. I have lived in the city for more than ten years and have never seen such a lively scene.

I heard the merchants chatting, saying that the merchants who ran Pingyang County with Mrs. Yan Yan had already made a lot of money. If they could just come up with one, they were truly a wealthy businessman.

Even the small vendors who followed Mrs. Yan back then have become big merchants now.

Not only that, the children of merchants went to academies to study and take the imperial examinations and become officials.

In short, all the businessmen who followed Mrs. Yan got benefits.

This time Mrs. Yan came to Xijing Prefecture, and the merchants followed her to help Mrs. Yan rebuild the capital.

I'll tell you this, in the future, there will be no end to work.

In five years, ten years, people who need to work hard everywhere will not worry about not finding work."

"Wu Shouye, you didn't lie to us? Is there really endless work to do in the future?"

"What's the benefit of me lying to you? The government won't pay me an extra penny of wages."

"Your wages are high and your work is easy. As the saying goes, whoever eats food and whoever cares about it, if you help the government, no one blames you. But you can't deceive everyone. Everyone is a fellow villager and neighbor. After working together over the years, you can't lose your conscience."

"If I, Wu Shouye, telling lies, I will be killed by thunder, and I will not die well."

"That's not. We just want to be at ease. Mrs. Yan really wants to rebuild the capital? Some time ago, I heard people say this is a rumor."
