NOVEL NEXT Chapter 190
Before the New Year, Zhang Fu had already led a group of civil and military officials back to Ji County.
Today, the construction of various projects in Ji County is nearing completion, and only some finishing work needs to be dealt with.
These finishing works mainly include the opening of industries in various industries, which are expected to be completed in two or three days at most.
Since Shen Wansan has been involved in the development of industries in many fields in the past few years, he has played an important role in the introduction of merchants after the expansion of Ji County.
Among them, at least two-thirds of the merchants followed Shen Wansan's footsteps.
Zhang Fu smiled and said to Shen Wansan: "Zhongrong, you did a good job this time. You are more capable of the remaining business issues, so I will leave it to you!"
Shen Wansan bowed his hands to show that he understood.
In fact, this task is not complicated, and merchants from all over the country are already on their way.
Once they arrive, the last step of Ji County's expansion-the commercial part will be successfully completed.
If you want Ji County to reach the scale of Luoyang City and Chang'an City, it is far from enough to just expand the urban area, and the commercial level must also be comprehensively improved.
However, when Zhang Fu saw Shen Wansan's fat body, he couldn't help but shake his head to remind him to pay attention to his health and exercise more.
"Thank you for your concern, my lord. After this matter is completed, I will definitely lose weight and exercise!" Shen Wansan promised.
Shen Wansan is still very clear about the importance of health. Now that the lord is back, he should exercise and lose weight.
......
Time passed quickly. Three days later, the reform and expansion of Ji County was completed, and Zhang Fu also received the system's message prompt.
However, at this moment, he was in the study to handle official business, so he did not accept the reward immediately.
In the study, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, Xi Zhicai, Liu Bowen, Yao Guangxiao, Jia Xu, Mao Jie, Xu Wei, Li Shanchang and other counselors gathered together.
They witnessed the transformation and development of Ji County together and were delighted by it.
Li Shanchang was the first to break the silence and said, "My Lord, now that Ji County has been expanded, it is no less prosperous than Luoyang City and Chang'an City in terms of scale. If we continue to use the name of 'Ji County', it seems inappropriate."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Li Shanchang continued, "In my opinion, this county should be renamed to highlight its important status."
Liu Bowen then said, "My Lord, Ji thinks that this place can be renamed Beiping City, which means 'peace and stability in the north'. What do you think?"
Zhang Fu smiled and nodded in agreement: "Beiping... Not bad, not bad, then let's change it to Beiping!"
The name Beiping not only has a beautiful meaning, but also carries the glorious history of the future Ming Dynasty Zhu Di as the capital.
Now that it appears in this era ahead of time, it undoubtedly gives people a sense of heroism.
All the counselors expressed their support and were full of expectations for the new name.
In their eyes, this new name represents the rise and glory of Ji County, and also symbolizes the results of their hard work.
"Bowen, now that Beiping City has been built, the next step is to find a good day to be crowned king. You are good at divination, so this day is up to you!"
After discussing the new name of Ji County, Zhang Fu began to discuss the matter of being crowned king with Liu Bowen and others.
His eyes fell on Liu Bowen, with a gleam of expectation and trust in his eyes.
Liu Bowen bowed slightly to indicate that he accepted the task.
He knew that he had a heavy responsibility, but he was also confident in this divination.
He took out a tortoise shell from his arms, which was a divination tool he had been carrying with him for many years. The tortoise shell was smooth and hard, and was engraved with dense lines, as if it contained endless mysteries.
Then, Liu Bowen took out a few five-zhu coins, which were specially processed, and each of them shone with a faint light.
They represent the power of the five elements between heaven and earth, and are also the medium used by Liu Bowen to communicate with heaven and earth and seek answers.
Liu Bowen placed the tortoise shell on the table and gently shook the five-zhu coin in his hand.
He closed his eyes and chanted: "Yin and Yang complement each other, and heaven and earth communicate. Please guide the heavens and give us a good day so that our master can succeed in his great cause of becoming king."
As he chanted, the five-zhu coin jumped in the tortoise shell, making a crisp sound.
Everyone watched Liu Bowen's actions quietly, with awe in their hearts.
They knew that Liu Bowen was talking to heaven and earth, trying to find the most appropriate time.
As time passed, Liu Bowen's forehead gradually oozed fine beads of sweat, but his expression remained focused and determined.
Finally, when the last five-zhu coin fell into the tortoise shell,When he was inside the tortoise shell, Liu Bowen opened his eyes.
He stared at the five-zhu coin in the tortoise shell, and a smile appeared on his face. "Congratulations, my lord. I have calculated the best auspicious day to be crowned king - the fourth day of the first lunar month."
"This day is an auspicious day, the heaven and earth are in harmony, and all things grow. It is the perfect time for the lord to be crowned king."
Zhang Fu was overjoyed after hearing this, and said excitedly: "Okay! Then it will be set on the fourth day of the first lunar month, and the ceremony of crowning the king will be held!"
He stood up, clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed with confidence and determination. He believed that on this auspicious day, he would become the king of the world and realize his grand ambitions.
Everyone stood up and congratulated Zhang Fu. Their faces were filled with joy, as if they saw the glory of the future.
Zhang Fu smiled and said: "There is still half a month before the fourth day of the first lunar month. Everyone will be busy during this period. Prepare well!"
Although it was only a short half a month, it was enough for him.
After all, this was the day Liu Bowen had calculated, and he believed that this strange man would not make a mistake.
After hearing this, everyone nodded and said they understood.
Half a month was indeed a bit tight, but they would do their best to ensure that everything went smoothly.
"Yes, my lord!" Liu Bowen, Guo Jia, Cheng Yu, Jia Xu and other counselors all responded in unison.
They knew the importance of this ceremony of becoming king, so they had to make full preparations.
Every detail could not be sloppy and must be perfect.
"Go back and have a good rest today, and start doing these things tomorrow!" Zhang Fu thought about it and felt that he should give everyone some breathing space, so he decided to let them rest for a day and recuperate.
"Thank you, my lord!" All the counselors thanked him in unison.
They were grateful for Zhang Fu's thoughtfulness and care, and at the same time they also felt his importance of this ceremony of becoming king.
In the days to come, they will spare no effort in various preparatory work to add brilliance to this grand ceremony.
