Chapter 338 Power Transfer Tongwan City

At the beginning of June, the news that Qin Yuanhao led an army to pacify the two counties spread to Xiayang City. So far, the entire Anzhou territory has been included in Hengshan's sphere of influence.

In mid-June, the Li family finally sent envoys to discuss the transfer of Jishan Pass.After searching for half a year, Li Yuan finally got the conditions that Hengshan requested.For this reason, he tried his best to exploit the people's money and food, so that the people under his rule continued to riot, and countless people became bandits.Especially the common people who had participated in the rebel army, after receiving the severance pay, they thought they could live a good life, but they didn't expect to usher in a group of wolves, eating people without spitting out their bones.As a last resort, he had to gather in the mountains and forests to resist the exploitation of the government.More people left their hometowns and went north to seek refuge in Hengshan.

Huazhou was originally rich, and although it was plundered by the Hengshan Army, its heritage was still there.After Li Yuan plundered the people's money and food, he took advantage of the opportunity to copy more than a dozen aristocratic families who refused to accept him, and finally got together a large amount of money and food, which could be used in exchange for Jishan Pass.

Regarding the Li family's request, there was a big disagreement within Hengshan. Many people thought that Jishan Pass was the gateway to the south. If they continued to occupy it, they could threaten the Li family in Huazhou, and even go south in the future.But if it is handed over to the Li family, the Li family will not only be able to block the passage of our army going south, but will also threaten the south of Anzhou at all times, which is very unfavorable for Hengshan.

But Lin Yifan still resisted all opinions and insisted on exchanging money and food with Jishan Pass.There are three reasons. First, Hengshan has formulated a three-year recuperation policy to lay the foundation, so it needs to have a good external environment and live in harmony with the surrounding forces for the time being.If our army keeps occupying the Jishan Pass, it will always threaten the safety of the north of the Li family, and it will definitely not give up. If a large number of troops gather in the south of Jishan, it will still make us tired of dealing with it.

Second, Jishan Pass belongs to Huazhou Pass, we signed an agreement with it, the territory of Anzhou belongs to me, and the land of Huazhou belongs to him.How can Hengshan honor his promise and destroy himself?Third, our army already has gunpowder weapons, and it is easy to destroy the Jishan Pass. Now let's send it to the Li family for the time being, and take it down together when we go south in the future.This will not only appease the Li family's wariness of us, but also let the surrounding forces know that Hengshan is not a threat to them now, let them make trouble first, and let us continue to develop.

After convincing everyone, Lin Yifan ordered Jiang Yunchuan to be the handover envoy to Huazhou to take charge of the handover.

July is like a fire. After more than a year of construction, Tongwan City has finally been preliminarily completed, and a large city that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people has been built.The reason why it was so fast was that according to Lin Yifan's request, the rule of building walls first was changed, and buildings such as private houses, government offices and other facilities were built first.In this way, with the unremitting efforts of tens of thousands of people, the internal structure of the city was finally built first, and now the construction of the city wall has officially begun.

The relocation of the Xiayang government office is in full swing, and Lin Yifan took the lead to lead his family to Tongwan City, firstly to inspect the appearance of the city, and secondly to take his wife who had just come out of the shadow of a miscarriage to relax.

After several days of traveling, everyone finally came to this future capital city. In the next few years, the power center of Hengshan will be transferred here to issue orders to all parts of Hengshan.

Because the tall city walls hadn't been built yet, everyone saw various buildings standing abruptly on the plain at a glance, and even saw people of various colors walking among them.This is really amazing to those who are used to seeing the protection of the city wall.But in Lin Yifan's eyes, this is a modern city without city walls, full of tall buildings and heavy traffic.Of course, these are all pictures he made up by himself. In reality, in this kind of city, there are only low wooden pavilions and noisy crowds.

Because Lin Yifan and his party were all dressed lightly, they did not disturb the people in the city. They walked on the street, slowly admiring the elegance of the new city.

For this city, Lin Yifan spent countless nights planning the city.Walking on the street now, he feels both strange and familiar.He can name every street here, but when the things planned in the drawings become reality, he feels like a dream, both real and dreamy.

When the city was being built, he decided to resettle the people who participated in the project in the city and become residents of Tongwan City.In this way, not only can the urban population be rapidly filled, but also the enthusiasm of hundreds of thousands of people can be aroused.They knew that this city would be the center of Hengshan in the future, and its value was much higher than other places.Lin Yifan's decision made this city their future home, and the people spared no expense in building their home.And this is one of the reasons why Tongwan City can be built so quickly.

Of course, as the day when the construction of Tongwan City is getting closer and closer, the Hengshan government office will soon be relocated to Tongwan City.As a result, the value of this city has risen in vain, attracting many people to flock to it and inquire about the acquisition of land and houses in the city.Unfortunately, the Hengshan government has been unwilling to openly sell every plant and tree in the city.It wasn't until half a month ago that the government office officially opened for acquisitions. Many businessmen rushed into the city frantically as if they smelled blood in an instant, bidding for the most valuable piece of land and shops in the area.In just ten days, the government office has earned a full million taels of silver, which made Han Song and Liu Yue laugh from ear to ear.

In the past few days, the family members of the officials in Hengshan also began to move to the city and live in the mansions allocated by the government.In the next few days, family members of officials from all over the country will move in one after another, not only as tacit hostages, but also out of the desire to get the moon first.

Watching Qing'er and Shuwan picking out goods in the new store ahead, Lin Yifan sat drinking tea at a tea stall with his guards beside him.After going around in this circle, he also had a certain understanding of the style and features of Tongwan City.To put it simply, this city is actually a replica of Hengshan Heishui City, but it is several times larger than it.In Lin Yifan's design, in addition to planning a series of straight and wide streets, he also added many public facilities in modern society.

In the center of the city, Lin Yifan deliberately vacated a large piece of green space to build a huge park, and dug a lake in the city with a radius of about one mile in it, which connects to the river outside the city, where people can enjoy fishing and boating in their free time. .

To the north of it is a square, which is wide enough to accommodate thousands of people.Under the design of the retainer Durant, not only a fountain with the characteristics of the Western Regions was built, but also various stone carvings were carved around it, which is amazing.

To the east is a huge playing field, which is equipped with polo fields, football fields, horse racing fields and so on.All kinds of big and small competitions are held here, and it is one of the people's favorite places to go.

To the south is a small hill, planted with various exotic flowers and plants, and various pavilions are arranged on the hill for people to look at the wind and overlook the scenery of the whole city.

To the west is the construction of a huge building, these buildings are not for human habitation.In one of the buildings, all kinds of strange things are displayed, which is called the Hengshan Museum.There are many books in one building for people to borrow for free, which is called Hengshan Library.There is another building, which lists all kinds of weapons and flags, as well as things captured in these battles, called the Hengshan Military History Museum.There is also a building with various mechanical models, which is called the Hengshan Science and Technology Museum.

These things were specially added by Lin Yifan when designing.The purpose is to broaden the horizons of the common people and let them know the vastness of the world and the beauty of all things.He hopes that Hengshan people can get closer to the thinking of modern people and fill the gap between themselves and the world.
