After Zhao Chen left the palace, he returned to the Zhao Manor and immediately called out some geography majors from the industrial zone and the university.
"Has the map of the area between Chang'an and Luoyang been mapped out?"
"Mr. Zhao, the general information has been released, but the detailed information has not yet been released."
¡°Bring me the map and take a look.¡±
There is a special surveying and mapping room in the geography major, which is specially used to store and preserve surveying and mapping maps. After all, this kind of map information is also top secret in modern times.
After reading it, Zhao Chen asked: "How long does it take to get from Chang'an to Luoyang?"
Someone replied: "If you ride a horse, it will take about four hours."
Zhao Chen estimated that these four hours can be compressed a little more, and it will be more than three hours. In that case, just choose a place that can be reached in one hour from Chang'an, and that's almost it.
A one-hour commute is not excessive.
Zhao Chen looked at the geography majors and said, "Follow me on horseback."
"yes."
Those geography majors were also quite curious and didn¡¯t know what Zhao Chen was taking them out for this time.
Soon, Zhao Chen led them on horseback and ran towards the official road in the direction of Luoyang.
"Estimate the time and let me know after running for about an hour."
"yes."
Mental arithmetic for geography majors is also a necessary skill. However, Zhao Chen thought about it and realized that the quartz watch should have been invented. Now there is no modern clock. Without timekeeping, it would be more troublesome.
Along the way, the wide road continues to extend forward, with no trees planted on both sides, and mountains, rivers and lakes are all displayed in front of you, a bit like the highway of later generations.
There is an endless stream of carriages along the way, most of which are caravans traveling between Chang'an and Luoyang. Now that the transportation is convenient, it is already very convenient.
About an hour later, the geography major shouted: "Mr. Zhao, it's almost time."
"good!"
Zhao Chen stopped his horse and looked to the north and south. He saw rolling hills to the south. Although there were hills to the north, they were not as exaggerated as the south. They were considered flat land, and there was a river nearby. The overall terrain was pretty good.
"Go north."
Everyone rode their horses directly to the north. Zhao Chen said: "Make a survey and map of the terrain here."
"yes."
The geography students immediately rode forward, while Zhao Chen looked at the terrain ahead and began to make estimates in his mind.
Going far to the north, the mountains are densely forested, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it has never been developed.
The craftsmen next to him were all following. These craftsmen were previously craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and specialized in building houses. One of the craftsmen asked: "Mr. Zhao, do you want to build a house here?"
Zhao Chen nodded: "Yes, it's not just about building a house. I want to build a city cluster here, a key axis, or it can be said to be a resort. It has a little bit of everything, so it needs to cover a large area."
The left and right sides are also relatively wide, and Zhao Chen is very satisfied with this terrain.
After reading it, Zhao Chen¡¯s inner plan was drawn up.
The center is naturally Li Shimin¡¯s Royal Resort and Office. Next to it, there must be residential settlements and residential buildings. Then to the north, there are resort hotels, swimming pools, and the most luxurious Royal Palace.
This time, Zhao Chen¡¯s goal is to be as extravagant as possible.
Back at the Zhao Manor, Zhao Chen immediately started drawing sketches against the map of the geography professional, and all the craftsmen stayed behind.
"The first step is to plan out the land. We will divide this land into phases one, two and three. Then the palace and gardens must be repaired first, and residential buildings must be started at the same time."
As Zhao Chen talked, the craftsmen took notes, and Zhao Chen also drew the entire drawing.
"Another point is that the buildings here must be different. This time, we do not use wooden structures, but all cement red bricks. We also have steel workshops mass-produce steel bars and scaffolding."
Zhao Chen explained the entire drawing in detail and asked the craftsmen to go back and ponder it. He asked Zhao Zhong to notify Xie Ping, the president of the Siping Chamber of Commerce, and then published an announcement in newspapers such as Zhao Manor and Chang'an Daily.
A series of actions were taken quickly, and Xie Ping arrived quickly.
 Zhao Chen said directly: "I need to do something big, and I need to mobilize a lot of human, financial and material resources."
Xie Ping lowered his head: "But it depends on Mr. Zhao's orders."
Zhao Chen nodded and threw the list to Xie Ping: "Go collect it first, then send someone to tell me."
"yes."
The second day.
The villagers of Zhao Manor also discovered the latest notice.
"The latest development project of Zhao Manor requires a lot of manpower. Each person is paid 20 coppers per day, including three meals."
A simple piece of news quickly spread throughout the Zhao Manor.
Some people who heard this immediately stood up: "Where can I sign up?"
A banker next to him smiled and said: "Old Liutou, you want to go? The money is not high."
"I'm not going there for the money. This is Mr. Zhao's project. Can I not go?"
"Yes, Mr. Zhao personally announced the project. If it weren't for Mr. Zhao, we couldn't even fill our stomachs before. This is not a matter of money."
"Let's go help Mr. Zhao."
The banker at the beginning had a look of shame on his face, and he immediately got up and followed.
It only took a moment, but the registration place was suddenly crowded with people.
The same is true in Chang'an City. This time, the large number of workers in Zhao Manor immediately attracted everyone's attention. It was two years ago since the last time Zhao Manor recruited a large number of workers.
In an instant, Zhao Chen and the Zhao Manor became the headlines in Chang'an, and even in the entire customs.
The Siping Chamber of Commerce has also begun to purchase the necessary items on a large scale, even luxury jewelry. The merchants of the entire Siping Chamber of Commerce are quickly moving into action.
In the stock market, all kinds of requests and calls for buying are endless.
Even the name of Zhao Chen¡¯s new project appears on the stock panel.
At this time, the businessmen were also excited, and there were countless investors.
Zhao Chen's news soon spread to the ears of Li Shimin and other officials.
"You mean, Mr. Zhao spent more than one million taels in one day?"
Li Shimin stared at the eunuch in front of him.
The eunuch lowered his head: "Yes, the consort is recruiting workers aggressively. At the same time, he has asked the caravan to purchase many luxury jewelry, as well as wood from Jiannan Road. Glass and steel in the entire industrial zone are being manufactured at a rapid pace. There is also a special of long tube material.¡±
Li Shimin was a little shocked. It was too scary for Mr. Zhao to spend money.
This speed of spending money is frightening! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
