Chapter 611 Big Construction
Fengxin City has turned into a huge military camp and a large construction site;
Efficiency has always been the attitude towards life upheld by the demon kings.
A big thing that may need to be carefully considered, considered slowly and carefully in the eyes of others,
may be here,
The results will come out after a happy meeting;
The most serious and serious thing is nothing more than a small meeting in a pavilion in private,
Everyone expresses his opinion , and then the blind man in the team who is good at making ideas and planning will make a summary and propose a direction, and then hand it over to the leader who is sitting there and doesn’t know whether he is listening carefully or making a decision;
Finally,
Then Fan Li gave a brief but sonorous "summary statement";
Oh,
Let's work together.
Winter is supposed to be a lazy season, as is the case for animals and for people.
What a pity,
Marquis Zheng is no longer sitting on the side of the ruler, but he is.
So,
opposed to the weather that snows from time to time, is the big construction site in full swing.
The expansion and renovation of Fengxin City cannot be delayed;
Because you don’t know when the enemy will appear, and when he appears, he will not say hello first and ask you if the city wall has been built. , he will come if it is repaired.
But,
It stands to reason that
Xueguan is in the north and Zhennanguan is in the south.
The two great passes are in hand, whether they come from the snowfield or from the Chu land. No threats can come in;
So,
The reason for the urgent expansion of Fengxin City
must be to guard against the chaos from Jin!
......
"Girl, she is sitting on the front of the sedan chair!"
"Hey yo hey yo hey hey!"
"Brother, let me follow you!"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey!"
"Sister, you are so cruel!"
"Hey, hey!"
“Last night’s work was in vain!”
"Hey yo hey, hey yo hey, hey yo hey yo hey yo hey!"
On the half-height table,
Zheng Fan was sitting there basking in the sun.
To be honest,
Zheng Fan really likes this kind of earthy atmosphere, which will give him a sense of comfort as he is being influenced by "culture".
In the past few years,
I have been busy fighting back and forth with the iron horse,
I really haven’t been able to enjoy life in a systematic way for a long time.
As for the demon kings,
none of them are around.
To carry out large-scale construction, people are needed everywhere.
Xue San went to be responsible for the construction of the "Forging Bureau". There were many armors and weapons left over from the battle against Chu. These are extremely important resources. In addition, a new round of re-equipment of the Snow Navy is about to begin;
At the same time, the demand for farm tools after the beginning of spring is also huge.
It can be said that the task is extremely heavy and the time is extremely tight.
A Ming is responsible for the manufacturing of the workshop. In addition to the earliest perfumes and soaps, he will also develop some new products.
Sometimes,
You have to admire the intelligence of some people,
Probably,
In every era,
Businessmen have the most sensitive sense of smell. A group of people.
Zheng Fan has just been granted the title of Marquis here,
over there, the caravan has already arrived.
Not only the official merchants of the imperial court, those directly operated by Xiaoliuzi Hubu, but also merchants from the private sector, from Jin and Yan, as well as merchants from Beifeng County and even from the desert Team.
Here, there is a blonde with blue eyes!
Cross the desert from the west, then pass through the Yan State, and then pass through most of the Jin Dynasty before you can reach yourself...
Even Lord Zheng had to be shocked by this spirit of doing whatever it takes to get rich.
After understanding,
The reason why these caravans were able to arrive so early and on time was actually based on the news of the war against Chu. After receiving the news that Yingdu was captured and burned, Merchants, large and small, immediately got started as long as they had enough capital.
Yan's victory in foreign wars in the past few years has taught them one thing,
The best way to make money in the world is...the money that is in trouble for the country.
Every time the Yan army attacked a place, what they plundered was a huge amount of wealth. This wealth needed to be digested, changed hands, and turned into various needed materials;
And in The huge price difference generated during this realization process is a terrifying profit.
Furthermore,
Whether it was in Shengle City or Xue Customs, the goods produced in the workshops under the rule of Lord Zheng had no worries about selling!
As long as you can get the goods,
After calculating the various costs on the road,
the lowest point of profit has actually been reached. After that, the price at which you can sell it depends on your own ability. In short, there is no such thing as slow sales. statement.
If it was just a small business when we were in Shengle City, when we were in Xuehaiguan, this industry once reached its peak. At that time, there was no successful attack on Chu, and there was no will of the imperial court to control the massive resources of Yan and Jin. Pushing forward, facing the snowy field Because of the lack of soldiers and horses, people could not be exploited at will, but at that time, it was relying on this industry and the running back and forth of these merchants that allowed the people of Xuehaiguan to live a comfortable new year, and after the second year Living standards have skyrocketed.
In order to win people's hearts, we used low taxes, and also in order to win people's hearts, we increased welfare. Schools and medical centers all have operating costs;
The plate is here , if you don’t want to open source it from outside, it won’t work at all.
Throughout last year,
Zheng Houye first snatched the princess in the Chu land, and then immediately broke out a vigorous war against Chu, which caused the workshop to have to stop production and all resources were piled on military supplies;< br>
So, the goods were suddenly sold out.
This made countless businessmen feel sad about this, and they complained many times that "Uncle Zheng" was really not doing his job properly!
Don’t do good business,
Why are you just focusing on fighting?
So, after seeing the dawn of the tilt of the war scale, they immediately took action.
When they came, they were loaded with all kinds of supplies, and those who transported food transported other things. In short, they collected everything they could.
There is a special person under the Marquis's residence to distribute the collection.
After receiving it, you will not be given gold or silver, but a bill of goods,
After the goods come out, you can pick them up and leave.
The people in the land of Yan and Jin are really having a hard time now. This winter, including next year, will be extremely difficult;
It will be difficult for the court to plunder anything more, and taxes have already been raised. A few years later;
But merchants still have their own channels to get things. This is normal. If even merchants can’t get things, then it’s really It's... the end of the world.
Besides,
There are also merchants from the Qian Kingdom here.
Yes,
The Gan people have been clamoring for the Northern Expedition for more than half a year, but in the end it aborted;
The Dangan people’s merchants, however, broke out to a court that was more powerful than them. The army has stronger subjective initiative.
These merchants did not go through Nanmen Pass. Instead, they passed through several small countries and were transferred by Liang State. After passing Qishan, they were picked up by the Fan family, and then took the waterway from the Fan family to Zhenghou. Here.
In this way, official obstruction can be avoided, and secondly, tax evasion can be maximized...
Zheng Houye didn’t believe that Xiao Liuzi didn’t know this. After all, the Fan family belonged to Xiao Liuzi and not him. However, the household department in charge of Xiao Liuzi did not say anything about this and pretended not to see it at all. .
This is also reasonable and reasonable. If you come to Pingxihou Mansion and eat more, you will have less to ask for from the court, which in itself will reduce the burden on the court;
Secondly,
At this juncture,
If you have to take this seriously and show your selflessness, Ji Laoliu is not that stupid.
In fact, the land of eastern Jin Dynasty was originally very rich. Its current ruin is entirely due to the war, coupled with the short-sightedness of the savages and Chu people to kill the goose to get the eggs;
Essentially , the land of Eastern Jin is connected to the Xueyuan to the north and the Chu land to the south. If the three Jin lands are combined, then it is really a ghost that the commerce and trade is not developed.
According to Siniang’s statistics,
The merchants in Yandi are the poorest,
There is no way,
Xiao Liuzi is on stage, in order to support his father in the war, he is trying to exploit him in different ways;
You know, if there is a Yandi Business Association to be elected in the first two years As for the president, who is Xiaoliuzi? It can almost be said that he did his duty;
But the dragon-slaying warrior turned into an evil dragon,
after he put on the official skin, he became more comfortable in knocking the bones and sucking the marrow out of these former colleagues;
In Xiao Liuzi's words, it's not like I've never done business before, so I know that in this world, the powerful and powerful officials who have unsatisfied desires will rebel, and the people at the bottom who don't have enough to eat will rebel. I have never seen merchants rebel.
The number of merchants in Jin is smaller, but they are obviously more prosperous than those in Yan.
This is also a reasonable thing. Although the Jin Dynasty has been fighting for many years in recent years and was assigned to send people to provide food in the battle against Chu, there is a layer between them. The governance of the land is still superficial, so the family background of some merchants is still there, and the family background of the powerful people behind them is still there.
There are so many powerful people in Yingdu who were not liquidated because the Situ family surrendered, right?
The Chu State caravan has not dared to come yet. For the time being, it is just for Jing Renli and Siniang to have a rough discussion about the next business. Come to think of it, after the beginning of spring, I saw some war horses being traded to Chu and Jin. The merchants will not sit still.
The tribal leaders in the snowy field are the most generous, because they are not here for fair transactions, but more like paying protection fees;
After the Chu people were dealt with, the tribes in the snowy field The leaders all know that the Yan people, no, this Pingxi Marquis, no one else or other forces can prevent him from becoming the boss of Jindong in a short time.
The merchants of Qian Kingdom are extremely rich;
This once again refreshed Marquis Zheng’s new understanding of the wealth of Qian Kingdom.
After all, when he attacked Qian four years ago, he only reached Shangjing and had not yet been to the real Jiangnan land of Qian.
When doing business and making money, these merchants and the powerful people behind them don't care about the national interests.
But even so, it will take at least a year to get the development of eastern Shanxi on the right track. This winter, until next autumn harvest, the soldiers can eat dry food, and the common people can , just mashed potatoes every day.
It’s time to start dinner;
The smell of mashed potatoes comes.
Potatoes are very easy to cook. After peeling them, you can boil them half to death and peel them and eat them; you can boil them to death and eat them mushy; you can make them worse than death and roast them and eat them.
As for potato chips and the like, don’t think about it. There is so much oil to make, why do you still need to use these as your staple food?
Master Zheng woke up from his nap.
He is wearing a white brocade robe, a white fox fur scarf around his neck, and blue and white boots with black soles and white edges. ;
A jade pendant was tied around his waist, and he was protected by a group of personal guards, and there were people helping to hold an umbrella.
The civilian husbands and soldiers who had just finished working and were preparing to eat immediately gathered around excitedly, vying to see the "people-friendly" Lord Zheng.
To be honest, the dress of Lord Zheng is not friendly to the people;
But the people of this era have become accustomed to this kind of class division. The most important thing is that Lord Zheng is too lazy to do something that is too low-level. A people-friendly show.
Walking around casually, looking around casually,
Find a few older people to ask,
Find a few younger-looking people to ask,
Since there was no rehearsal beforehand, I was asked a lot of questions.
Food, clothing and housing are the three fundamentals;
Eating is not the most important thing at this time. Although mashed potatoes will not make you open to eating, it really will not starve you to death. Come on Folks who participate in labor can also get some extra work in their meals as a reward.
The biggest problems are housing and clothes.
After being destroyed by brothers Situ Yi and Situ Jiong, Dekuifeng New City has long been an empty city. It has been used as a military camp for two years, but the problem is that the expansion of the city has not been completed. , it must be relevant personnel in the army plus office staff, and in addition, there are also standard households that have gradually migrated from Xue Customs.
Well, there’s also the Juggernaut.
The Juggernaut asked for a more ordinary house this time;
Then Marquis Zheng generously let the Juggernaut choose first;
You choose, and I will choose again. .
The Sword Master took a deep breath, turned around and left. He knew clearly that when Xue Guan's wife and children moved in and settled in their new home, as soon as he went out, he promised to still be the neighbor of Heping Xihou.
But there are really too many refugees recruited this time.
So, many people now live in underground dens outside the city, that is, they dig holes like mice and find something to shelter them from outside. The effect of preventing cold is very poor.
And many people come here when the weather is hot. When it gets cold, they lack cold-proof clothing;
This raises another problem. Young and strong people are fine, but old, weak, women and children are better. Many people have contracted the cold and are facing a shortage of medical treatment.
“Don’t be anxious, everyone. The Marquis will find a way for you. Please give me a few more days. I need to dispatch and purchase.
Thanks to everyone for not giving up and being willing to follow me to take root here. Then I have the responsibility to help everyone settle down and live a better life. ”
After the ordinary visit,
Zheng Fan sent an energetic bodyguard around him to report these matters to the relevant yamen.
As for which yamen he should go to specifically to report the matter. ,
Zheng Houye really doesn’t know.
The Xueguan customs system was formulated by the blind man and Siniang. Mr. Zheng himself was not very clear about which yamen was which;
After all,
for those who really overcame the yamen in question As far as the superiors are concerned, it really doesn't matter which yamen it is, it's just a matter of one sentence anyway.
After basking in the sun,
I also visited the people’s sentiments,
Feeling that he had done something today and felt relatively fulfilled, Lord Zheng returned to his temporary residence.
Not long after I went back,
he came out again.
He then went to another office where Siniang was.
“See Mr. Hou.”
"See the Marquis."
Zheng Marquis waved his hand, indicating that they should continue to do their own thing.
When I walked to the door of the signing room, I saw Yuexin, the blind daughter-in-law, walking out with a stack of documents.
“I’ve met the Marquis.”
“Yes.”
Lord Zheng walked into the signing room,
Yue Xin walked back and closed the door.
Sixiang was doing calculations quickly with her left hand, sometimes holding a pen while reviewing.
When Zheng Fan came in,
Siniang looked up, smiled, then lowered her head and continued working;
It's really busy.
Zheng Fan took a kettle from the small stove nearby and poured her a glass of water.
After placing the tea cup,
Six Niang immediately stopped her hand, took the cup, and stopped working.
Zheng Fan walked up behind Siniang and stretched out his hand to massage her shoulders.
"You must be tired."
"Fortunately, in Cuiliu Castle, the stalls were small, in Shengle City, the stalls were bigger, and then the Snow Customs and then here, my lord, the slave family really has a kind of non-stop It feels like playing a simulation business game."
"Map 1. Each one is bigger than the other, and each one is more difficult than the other? "
"The map is bigger, but the difficulty is actually not bad, because the external environment is getting better and better, and there are more resources at hand. ”
“Don’t be too tired”
"These things cannot be delayed, Lord."
"The blind man will bring them over in a few days. When the time comes, let the blind man do his work."
"Here comes the blind man. If you do, you will come every day.”
And the prince,
is still in Fengxin City.
"Let's not ask the prince for now." Zheng Fan said, "Anyway, if he wants to go and see, he can go."
The last time he secretly visited his son, he suppressed Shatuo Queshi.
However, although King Jingnan is now seriously injured and cannot take action, it is still very simple for him to secretly meet someone in Fengxin City.
Moreover, Zheng Fan will also make arrangements.
"Ask San'er to send one of his men to wait, and just arrange it around the clock. That Dai Li, I remember that his mind works very fast."
"Well, this is indeed a way."
"And you, I say, take a rest first. After this battle has been fought for so long, I am really afraid that we have just finished the preparations and arrangements. On the right track, the war will start again soon.”
"Where will there be a war? Can it still be fought?"
"God knows, those crazy people. In short, I don't want to continue to be a model worker."
"My Lord , you want to?”
"Yes, you have to pity me. I have been awake in this world for several years, and I haven't really eaten meat yet."
"But my lord, I have eaten all kinds of meat and fish. ”
“I’m so greedy. I always eat cold dishes as a main meal, which is not appropriate. "Isn't that right?"
"Won't Li Qing and Ru Qing be here in two days?"
"I said, they are behind you, Li Qing is fine, in private. When we are two people, the charming and naive one is like Qing..."
"What's wrong with Ruqing?"
Zheng Houye did not answer.
“My lord, is that true?”
Sixiang raised her head,
came close to Lord Zheng’s ear, bit her gently with her teeth a few times My earlobes,
Breathing lightly on the cochlea,
with a delicate voice, she said:
"Dad~~"
"Hey..."
If you say Liu Ruqing is naturally charming, and Si Niang is charming and free-spirited, but without the slightest sense of romance. On the contrary, you will happily indulge in her manipulations.
Zheng Fan reached out and hugged Siniang,
said:
“Let’s hand over the matter. Let’s have a baby. This time, even if there is thunder and lightning, don’t interrupt it. "I!"
——
Thank you to Fatty Chongrushan, Binah and Little Miaoluzhao for becoming the new leaders of Demon Lin!
There will be another chapter tonight, at 2 o'clock, everyone will wake up and read it tomorrow morning. (End of this chapter)
