The commanders of the expedition against Yuan Shao were clear, and the soldiers were easy to deal with. The central army of the expedition against Cao Cao in Sili Province would not be mobilized. Yang Rui planned to mobilize most of the soldiers in Pingyuan Commandery, Puyang Commandery, and Chen Liu Commandery.
At this moment, Yang Rui had more than eight million soldiers under his command. Although he had just experienced the expedition against Cao Cao and needed to station a portion of his soldiers in Sili Province to defend, Yang Rui still had enough soldiers under his command.
After deciding on the candidates for each side's advance and defense, Yang Rui discussed the details of the expedition against Yuan Shao, the speed of their advance, and the direction of their forces. He then brought everyone on a tour of Luoyang Imperial City.
Not every one of Yang Rui's subordinates had been to Luoyang Imperial City before. Yang Rui brought his subordinates on a tour of the city. On one hand, he wanted them to experience the grandeur of Luoyang Imperial City, and on the other hand, he wanted them to come up with ideas for developing the city.
Although Luoyang Imperial City still had its initial majesty and grandeur, it was covered in scars and looked weather-beaten. Along the way, Yang Rui brought up his idea of developing Luoyang Imperial City into a trade hub, wanting to hear their opinions.
"Your Majesty, this city can be said to be in a terrible state, but Kuanhong's grandeur is still there. If we develop it into a trade hub as Your Majesty says, we can make use of this city's position and influence in the Great Han Dynasty. At the same time, we can also meet the needs of the current situation."
Cheng Yu was the first to speak. His words were already very clear. By 'meeting the needs of the current situation', he meant to emphasize the position of trade and weaken Luoyang Imperial City's other positions. Most of the people present could understand this.
Guo Jia had also mentioned this point before. Back then, he had even praised Yang Rui for his deep intentions. In truth, Yang Rui had not considered this point too much. Although it was not appropriate to call it a coincidence, Yang Rui truly did not care too much about the influence of Luoyang Imperial City.
Hearing Cheng Yu's words, Yang Rui knew that he had some suggestion to make. As expected, Cheng Yu quickly continued with a good suggestion.
"My Lord, there are currently many areas in the city that require construction and repair. According to my Lord's plan, we also need to rebuild the commercial area with the auction house and the plaza as the center, including the city walls, city gates, and palaces. All of these need to be redesigned, constructed, and repaired.
Cheng Yu thought that it was time to start work and make use of all the captives of Cao that Dian Wei and the others had captured. It was also the best way to deal with the captives that his lord had specified.
Among them, volunteers who performed well and did not continue to serve in the army could be rewarded with a shortened labor time. If those who performed well and were interested in continuing to serve in the army, the test time and steps set by the lord could be shortened. In this way, enthusiasm for construction could be stimulated.
At the same time, Cheng Yu believed that we could accept refugees from Si Li Province and the Ji Province. They could also participate in the various jobs in Luoyang Imperial City, as well as the operations of the merchant alliance. This would attract people and speed up the recovery of Luoyang Imperial City.
At the same time, through various labor services, we can also create opportunities for the nearby Liegeman or refugees to eat. As long as they are willing to work, they will be able to obtain food to feed themselves and even their families … "
Cheng Yu indeed proposed a proposal to attract labor and provide for the Liegeman. Yang Rui nodded continuously.
Yang Rui had once wanted to expand Luoyang Imperial City, but he had planned to postpone it until after the crusade against Yuan Shao. After hearing Cheng Yu's suggestion, Yang Rui immediately felt that the construction should be done as soon as possible.
It was very rare for Cheng Yu to have such insight. In the face of the Great Depression everywhere, there were many examples of large-scale construction in reality. For example, the New Deal implemented by President Roosevelt of the United States was a good example of large-scale infrastructure construction in the atmosphere of the economic crisis to increase employment and alleviate contradictions and relative oversupply.
At the same time, after disasters or wars in the past dynasties, this kind of large-scale construction was often used to promote stability and development. Even in the game, Yang Rui had initially implemented various policies such as the resource exchange system in Qing Province, Yan Province, Xu Province, and other places. In fact, it was a different approach to achieve the same result.
Therefore, after some consideration, one would realize that it was normal for Cheng Yu to make such a suggestion. However, Yang Rui had focused most of his attention on the crusade against Yuan Shao and did not spend much time on this aspect.
"What Zhong De said is true …"
After Cheng Yu finished speaking, Yang Rui nodded in affirmation.
"My Lord, just as Zhongde said, the repair and reconstruction of buildings must be carried out in a timely manner.
Think about it. My Lord plans to sell the member's residence at this trade fair. If you want the members of the merchant alliance to pay more, you must first repair or rebuild the buildings around the square. At least, there should be some plans. It will be more convincing if it can be in a state of construction … "
Xun You on the side also spoke up. After he heard about Yang Rui's plan to build the merchant alliance's member's residence, he proposed to prioritize this area.
At present, Yang Rui already had all kinds of building blueprints in his hands. It was impossible to use them all. As long as the merchant alliance's member's residence was unified, it would not be troublesome to repair or rebuild it.
By the time the merchant alliance members received the news and rushed to Luoyang's imperial city to participate in the merchant alliance's trade fair, the merchant alliance's residence construction might have already taken shape. As Xun You said, it could be sold at a higher price.
In fact, Xun You's idea should have been influenced by the overwhelming real estate sales after it was realized in the real world. Only then did he have the suggestion to rebuild and repair the merchant alliance's member's residence.
Especially in MLQS, the small island was almost full of real estate sales. As long as one went out, one could get it. Even if one went online, watched TV, and read newspapers, it was full of this information.
The group could not waste too much time in Luoyang's imperial city. They roughly took a quick look around. After that, Yang Rui invited a group of officers to a banquet at night. The next day, everyone split up to do their own things.
One group of officers was taken away by Yang Rui's small storage ring soul to prepare for the crusade against Yuan Shao. The other group of officers stayed in Si Li Province, including Cheng Yu and Xun You, who were overseeing Luoyang's imperial city. They were in charge of all the matters of the newly acquired Henan Yin Territory.
