Seeing his sons eating happily, Fang Tianlin was also in a good mood, enjoying his portion comfortably, and while eating, he somehow remembered the spring water he left in Guangyan Village.

The spring water is born because of the water space, and will naturally disappear because of its disappearance.Fang Tianlin doesn't know what's going on in Guangyan Village, so he can't judge whether it's better to start recycling slowly now, or just let it go.

Fang Tianlin couldn't make up his mind for a while.With this spring, people living in Guangyan Village will be much more relaxed, but they don't know how many villagers are left there.The weather conditions in Guangyan Village are harsh, and the existence of springs can bring a lot of convenience to the villagers. Anyway, the space water gushing out of the springs is water from outer space, which has little effect on him, and Huanggu is not short of water, so Fang Tianlin decided to temporarily If no changes are made, he will think about it when he needs to use the spring water.

After a successful transaction by the traveling caravan, the Linshan County Merchant Alliance has tasted the sweetness and is planning the second trip of the caravan.

Fang Tianlin took the opportunity to propose the establishment of a chamber of commerce, which is more closely related than a business alliance. It is not so easy for members of the chamber of commerce to leave the organization and start their own cooking. With the constraints of the chamber of commerce, the possibility of internal strife will be much reduced.

After some discussions among the local businesses in Linshan County, the chairman finally fell to the Shen family.

After Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe discussed carefully, they decided that Fang Tianlin would be the president, and Shen Jiahe would be the acting president. Usually, they only choose one of the two. It seems that there are two positions, but in fact there is only one position. Only one of the two can speak out. .

The reason for this decision is because of the special circumstances, Huanggu is the foundation of the Shen family, usually the two of them are in the valley most of the time, and it is good to send one person to take turns to station in Xinghuo Village, it is impossible to show up for a long time.Originally, there were other ways, such as handing over the position of general manager to Shen Jiahu, but Fang Tianlin did not delegate this power after comprehensive consideration.

It's not that Fang Tianlin doesn't trust Shen Jiahu, but that if you don't have money, you don't need to talk about everything, and he is impatient with an additional application procedure.

Naturally, the president must have the majesty of the president. If Shen Jiahu is really allowed to take up this position, things will be troublesome.In fact, this is not aimed at anyone, as long as it is not Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe who hold the position of president, it does not matter whoever takes this position.

Shen Jiahu has no objection to this at all, he may not be qualified to be the president, and besides, he has a lot of things to do now, he has to represent the three Shen Jiahai families and join the chamber of commerce as an ordinary merchant.

As for who will take care of the chamber of commerce when Fang Tianlin and Shen Jiahe are away, this is a simple matter, and with a few more vice presidents, all problems will be solved.

The vice president is responsible for the daily affairs of the chamber of commerce, and some important decisions will be postponed until Fang Tianlin or Shen Jiahe is out of the valley. Time things can be satisfactorily resolved.

The goal of the caravan this time is no longer Yanzhou City, but the towns along the commercial road. The main purpose of this trip is to expand the popularity of Linshan County Chamber of Commerce, and try to let as many people as possible know that Linshan County produces many good things, and attract foreign merchants to come here .

The caravan did not go very far for the second trip. After passing through more than a dozen counties and towns along the way, the goods were declared sold out.

The goods purchased by the caravan this time are much less than last time. After all, the climate here is not very different from Linshan County, and the similarity of the products produced is relatively high, so the demand is naturally small.

This time the caravan learned to be smart and deliberately left some of the goods and hired local merchants to sell them in nearby counties.The caravan made an agreement with them that if they could attract a merchant to buy goods in Linshan County, they would share part of the money. The more merchants they attracted, the more money they would get, with no upper limit.

Money can turn ghosts around, relying on caravans alone can only take care of the towns along the extension of the commercial road. With the help of these merchants, the radiation range of new goods provided by Linshan County will center on the commercial road and expand to many surrounding areas. Big round.

Since then, the Linshan County Chamber of Commerce has strong strength, selling many rare items, some of which are even unique to Linshan County, and news that cannot be seen in other places has spread like wildfire.

Coincidentally, the mountain bandit road tyrants in the southwestern region passed through the defenders of Jianingguan and Ningguan before, and the large group of bandits has disappeared. The caravan can completely resist the remaining remnants.

Everyone is not stupid. After exchanging information, they all know that the safest road is the newly opened business road. They only need to be careful on the road from the starting point to the nearest entrance of the business road. After entering the business road, safety is basically guaranteed. Guarantee, the caravans who were afraid to travel long distances before are now considering the feasibility of this plan.

Since the caravan returned to Linshan County for the second time, foreign caravans have entered Linshan County one after another. They inquired all the way to Xinghuo Village.

When the shopkeepers of the chamber of commerce heard about this, they all beamed with joy, the only difference being that some were ostentatious, while others were just having fun behind the scenes.

Seeing that the situation was very good, Fang Tianlin went to the county government office and discussed secretly with Mozhi County for a long time, and then called the members of the chamber of commerce, and discussed for a long time before they dispersed.

After doing this, Fang Tianlin stayed in Xinghuo Village, and from time to time, he took the guards to patrol the mountain roads to ensure the smooth transportation between Xinghuo Village and Huanggu, and also exercised the actual combat capabilities of the escorts.

Fang Tianlin was waiting for news, for the officials and gentry in Linshan County to make a decision.

Linshan County is almost surrounded by mountains, and there is only one official road leading to the outside world in the south. The intersection with Shilin County and Wangshan County is not small, but there is only one official road, and the others are mountain trails. Say the convoy travels.As long as a checkpoint is set up next to the official road at the junction, the risk of being raided can be greatly reduced.

The two defenders at Jianing Pass and Zhenning Pass can help the local army wipe out the bandits during non-war times. Once a war breaks out, they can't be counted on. Linshan County must have the ability to protect itself.

Fang Tianlin didn't want to have to withdraw people and supplies back to the barren valley not long after Xinghuo Village was built. He spent so much effort, but he didn't want this kind of result.

Since the border guards can't be relied on at any time, then go on your own. Linshan County also claims to have nearly a thousand troops stationed in places. Although there are only a few hundred people who can really be used, the others are just filling in, but it's enough for now , coupled with the local gentry's family nursing home and the Shen family's guards, the first line of defense in Linshan County can be erected quickly without much effort.

This pass is not a frontier fortress, so it doesn't need to be so tall, just build a passable city wall and set up a city gate.

The purpose of Fang Tianlin's plan is very simple. There is only one purpose, and that is to let passers-by slow down here, conduct the first entry inspection, and let them pass after confirming that their identities are OK.

Fang Tianlin naturally knew the severity, and the defense at the entry point was just to prevent people from being caught off guard. He didn't need to send many people, as long as the gatekeepers could pass the news back, the requirements would be met.

It just so happened that in Fang Tianlin's eyes, this seemingly easy task stumped both Mozhi County and the local gentry.Although the two sides of the official road at the entrance are not very wide, they are nearly a hundred feet long. It is a huge project to build such a long section of the city wall.

Who wants to do this kind of thing of taking money out of their own pockets?You must know that most of the gentry are part-time businessmen. The more profitable business is, the better. They usually avoid spending money for fear. If Fang Tianlin hadn’t proposed it, they would have walked away long ago. They didn’t even have the opportunity to think about it. It is impossible to give him.

As for the corvee, hehe, Master Fang made his attitude clear as soon as he came up, obviously he didn't agree with this matter.On the one hand, there is a safer living environment and a steady stream of income, on the other hand, a large amount of money needs to be paid out in a short period of time, and the weights on both sides are weighed on the balance. After careful consideration, everyone has made a decision.

This matter is feasible, but how to do it depends on the two top civil and military officials of Linshan County, Mozhi County and You Xunjian.

It is okay to set up checkpoints, but the matter of building a city wall was immediately denied by the two of them.Although the imperial court did not explicitly stipulate this kind of thing, there was no precedent for it. Even though Linshan County was located in a remote border area, they did not dare to do such nonsense.

Fang Tianlin doesn't care, he can't afford the city wall, and there are ways to solve this problem.Xinghuo Village was built in less than half a year. Following this example, find someone to survey the environment at the junction of the three counties, and choose a suitable place to build a village near the entrance of Linshan County, and all problems will be resolved.

The town can be fenced, no one can comment on this, it's just that the location of this village is a bit weird, after others discuss it, who can make a fuss about it?

After hearing Fang Tianlin's proposal, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. After a little thought, they realized that although Master Fang's method was indeed unexpected, it was very feasible.Towns are built on both sides of the official road, and the gates of the town are set at the entrance and exit of the official road. Passers-by entering the town, which one is not allowed to be interrogated?This can also achieve the original purpose, and it is not conspicuous at all, which is much better than directly building a level.

However, it seems that the cost of building a town is higher, and a set of procedures has to be followed. If the above does not approve, then a town-level village will be built like Xinghuo Village.This saves trouble, the village does not need to be approved by the Shangguan, and Mozhi County can sign the document by itself, at most, it will be reported afterwards, indicating that there is another village under his rule, so there is nothing to worry about.

"My lord, are you really going to do this?" Ding Zhongqiu, the staff member, had a toothache when he thought of this.The Shen family was really capable of making troubles. They wanted to do business, and Linshan County began to suppress bandits. The business was so prosperous that they were afraid of being coveted by forces outside the county, so they wanted to turn Linshan County into an impregnable wall.Although the county government has benefited a lot from it, he has never seen anything like this in his decades of life.Fortunately, Linshan County is located in the southwestern border, far away from Wangcheng, otherwise they would have angered the Tian Family sooner or later.

"How's the food these days?" Mo Zhixian answered irrelevantly.

Ding Zhongqiu was taken aback when he heard the words, but after realizing it, he replied truthfully: "It's better than before, although it's not as good as those affluent places, it's not much worse when I think about it."
