The trade area was a mixed bag, and people often quarreled for their own interests. Scholars often went in and out of various markets to resolve disputes and disputes for merchants and customers.

Even though Shi Zhi is Shi Xie's concubine and is already over fifty years old, he seems to have found his true self in Guangzhou City. He fulfills the tasks assigned to him by Lan Tian with due diligence and is not in a state of being held hostage at all.

After finishing the matter at hand, Shi Zhi followed Gao Yuan to the street corner and saluted everyone.

"Master Fu, General Gao, General Pang..."

"Is Master Shi so busy every day?" Lan Tian asked curiously.

Shi Zhi nodded, "Although I'm busy, I live a fulfilling life. The business environment in Guangzhou City is particularly good. In addition to fixed shops, businesses, and temporary rental stalls, the scale is also constantly expanding, because there are Han people, Yue people, and people

It’s normal to have more conflicts and disputes.”

"It seems that I have to ask Mr. Cheng Guo to start the ethnic language class at Guangzhou Academy as soon as possible. Jiaozhou is a multi-ethnic area, and we need a group of people who understand ethnic languages." Lan Tian said thoughtfully.

"Mr. Cheng Guo and the others are all great talents in classical studies. Baiyue's language classifications are complex and different. It is not easy to hold ethnic language classes." Gao Shun reminded with a frown.

"A group of three must have my teacher. There are many people doing business in this trading area. They have also learned from dealing with each other. Although things are a bit difficult, it is actually easy to do it carefully. Select some smart and studious people and let them collect more knowledge.

The pronunciation of the tribesmen is then recorded in the form of text transliteration, so that those who come after can get twice the result with half the effort by simply relying on the book records." Lan Tian explained.

"Fu Jun's method is great." Shi Zhi praised.

Lan Tian smiled slightly and said: "There are always more solutions than difficulties. In fact, the simplest solution is to unify the language. People of all regions and ethnic groups should maintain their dialects and national languages ​​while promoting a unified language. In a few decades, everyone will be able to

No language barrier.”

"Isn't it difficult to unify the language?" Gao Shun frowned.

"The First Emperor only traveled on the same track, wrote on the same text, and walked on the same topic. This unified language is really..." Shi Zhi didn't believe it either.

Lan Tian nodded and said: "It is impossible now. If the world is at peace in the future and Kyushu is unified, then maybe the language can be unified, and people will no longer be able to communicate with each other..."

"That's the prosperous age, right? I'm afraid that in my lifetime..." Shi Zhi shook his head.

Gao Shun hummed: "With your unparalleled talent, although I cannot create a prosperous age in Jiuzhou right away, there is still hope for Jiaozhou."

The scholar nodded in agreement: "What General Gao said is true. I have only been here for a year to understand it deeply."

"I'm here to inspect various districts today, why do you start to flatter me again? This trend can't last longer..." Lan Tian first interrupted the two people's flattery, and then asked Shi Zhi: "In addition to the local business in Nanhai, the trade zone

People, are there any merchants from other counties coming these days?"

Shi Zhi sighed: "Of course there is. There are many people coming from Cangwu and Yulin counties, and there are also businessmen coming across the sea from Jiaozhi, Hepu and other places. It is said that the Wus brothers, the Yue merchants in Jiaozhou, have also been buying in the trade area recently.

The city of Guangzhou has only been established for less than three months, and the current situation can be described as incredible..."

"Jiaozhou and Hepu should be inseparable from Shi Gongzi's recommendation." Lan Tian looked pleased.

Shi Zhi responded awkwardly: "There are many workshops in Guangzhou City, and the finished products that are produced in the market are very practical. Even if I don't go to Jiaozhi to promote it, sooner or later it will become famous..."

Lan Tian affirmed: "This is the truth, but more and more people come here to do business, and more and more conflicts will follow. The burden on the scholar will become heavier and heavier, but you must not

I was barely crushed, how could I explain it to Wei Yangong (Shi Xie) at that time."

"I will do what I can. If I am unable to do so, I will ask the Lord for help in advance." Shi Zhi said with cupped hands.

Lan Tian looked at the security post in the distance and pondered, then turned to Pang De and said: "Ling Ming, I plan to put all the security posts in the city in your charge. Although the posts are only responsible for public security and smooth roads now, I will gradually send more personnel to handle them in the future.

Civil affairs, like this trade area, need more manpower to coordinate disputes, otherwise if you continue to be so busy, your hair will soon turn gray."

"Do you mean to add another Li Zheng to each post?" Pound asked curiously. (There is a Li in the countryside, and Li Zheng is also called Li Kui. He is responsible for the affairs of the Li and has dual identities as an official and a citizen.)

Lan Tian nodded, "That's pretty much what I mean. As for the specific number of additional manpower, it will also be determined based on the number of people in the surrounding area. I will let Jiang Gongyan select the personnel. You can give priority to the posts in the trade area."

"Well... although the general can manage the army, but for these civil affairs..." Pound hesitated, thinking that he was a good general, why should I care about such a trivial matter?

Lantian explained with a smile: "I'm not asking you to concentrate on dealing with mundane affairs, but just to take care of management. There are forty posts in the city now, and there will be more and more as the population grows. Ling Ming now commands the only cavalry in Jiaozhou.

, the main task is to respond to emergencies in various places, and the street posts can just be your eyes."

"I will obey your orders." Pound clasped his fists.

What Lantian did was actually to decentralize the government offices, so that when people encountered difficulties, disputes could be dealt with on the spot, instead of all crowding into the central government district to complain to the officials. Street posts were set up in the city of Guangzhou. Lantian learned from Xinjiang and Tibet's police force.

The station mode can effectively improve urban management and better maintain public security and order.

As soon as Pang Deb arrived in Jiaozhou, he took on the three roles of training war horses, commanding cavalry, and managing posts. From this, one can imagine how short of a manpower Jiaozhou was.

Usually when a new state pastor or governor first arrives in a place, they will choose to cooperate with the local powerful noble families (such as Liu Biao, Tao Qian, Liu Yan, etc.). The local powerful people will provide people, money, and food to jointly govern the place, and everyone will live in peace and harmony.

Everyone gets what they need.

Lantian, the state pastor, is different. He is basically the only one in Jiaozhou. Officials at all levels have been evaluated several times. Those who fail will directly seize the official position and return to their hometown. Faced with the dilemma of lack of people, he runs his own school and trains them.

Although it is very hard to start from scratch, once it becomes established, it will be very stable. However, the originally disadvantaged gentry in Jiaozhou can only live with their tail between their legs and get equal opportunities with the people of Guizhou.

According to the steady progress of the Lantian plan, each county in Jiaozhou is like the peach saplings in Lantian Garden, with new changes every day.

In late March, the first issue of "Lingnan News" appeared on Lantian's desk, and the title "Having a son is like Sun Zhongmou, Hefei gave away one hundred thousand heads" appeared in the anecdotes column.
