"Your contribution to the construction of the palace is also considered to be a national merit. In addition to the money, there are many other conveniences. The first point is to record the merit according to the length of the construction period, and those who have made great contributions can give priority to employing craftsmen in the capital as a commissioner, and the commission period is limited to one year, and the work can be renewed. ”

Among these refugees, there were already a large number of artisan households, and in the past, although the imperial court compiled and managed them, they were actually limited to the long-term financial resources of the central government, and it was difficult to fully utilize them. Now that Shen Zhezi has power, he simply split these craftsmen and took them out as one of the rewards.

Most of these craftsmen have inherited craftsmanship and technical level far beyond the southerners, and if they can be hired in large quantities, it is conceivable how much production capacity and profit will be. Especially for these families in the business alliance, they have always been worried about the shortage of goods and urgently need to expand production.

After hearing this, everyone in the banquet had already widened their eyes, and they all looked at Yu Tiao, who was now in charge of the Kurabe Lang's management craftsman, and their eyes became hot. As the first batch of profiteers of the business alliance, they are not short of money, what they lack is investment channels, and the return cycle of the manor operation in the past is too long, which can not meet the speed of the entire business alliance from time to time.

"The second is the land, which is still rewarded for merit, and merit for merit, and you can choose the ownerless land between the two at will, with an upper limit of ten hectares."

In today's commercial transactions, freight accounts for a large proportion of the cost. For bulk commodities such as salt and rice, the freight cost is even several times higher than the cost of the goods. If you can occupy a place of origin in the nearby market, it is simply a business that makes money from sitting on the ground!

Where is the largest market in Koto? Jingkou and Jiankang, these two places have the largest population density and the greatest market potential!

The reason why the Shen family was able to dominate the business alliance, in addition to its own strong township capital and higher and higher potential, was that it occupied a large amount of land around Jingkou at the beginning of the development of the Jingkou market. As long as the potential of these lands is tapped, the same goods are directly supplied to the market, and the freight cost generated by this alone is an astronomical amount!

It is true that Gangdong is still sparsely populated, but there are only a few lands that are really close to the market and have great potential. Although a large amount of land was granted in the vicinity of Jiankang in the early days, if not limited to farming, many uncultivated wastelands such as mountains and ditches were sufficient for handicraft workshops.

These lands are also very attractive to those who do not have political advantages in the business alliance. Moreover, because these handicraft workshops are market-oriented, they are not as closed and shady as the manor operation, which is easy to control, and can also bring a large amount of tax revenue to the imperial court.

"Another point is that during the construction period, all boats, boats, vehicles and horses will have priority to pass, and along the way, they will be given priority to supply, such as Chuanchuan, Di, City, Dai, Stringer, Ferry, and Jin."

Compared to the first two conditions, this third one is a bit illusory. It is said that it is a post station, the house is an official office, the city is a bazaar, the dai is a weir dai, the truss is a pontoon bridge, the ferry is a boat, and the tsu is a ferry, involving all aspects of the transportation of goods. Some of these buildings are operated by local governments, and some are simply privately set up by wealthy families, and if any point is stuck, the goods will be shelved here for a long time, so as to delay business opportunities.

The Shen family occupies a large number of shares in the business alliance, because almost all the private dais, trusses, ferries, and jin in the entire Wuxing are his family. The logistics guarantee is absolutely smooth, which is also one of the reasons why the business alliance can rise rapidly.

But let's be honest, this promise is just a blank promise. If the imperial court's control over the local area could be so strong, the central finance and even the authority would not be so bad.

Now Wuzhong is still good, changed to Jingzhou, Jiangzhou and the like, the local government or wealthy families, private repair trusses and the like are flooded, card fees, and even the tax of Taiwanese capital transported to Jiankang dare to intercept! Businessmen and the like, if you don't have a strong background, it's simply difficult to move an inch! In short, the logistics conditions are extremely poor.

Although this promise is a bit vague, it is better than nothing. With this promise, they can be regarded as doing things under the edict, and even if there are difficulties in the local area, they will be restrained, which is much better than the earlier situation of the family boat transportation.

Moreover, even without this one condition, the first two alone are already exciting.

By the time Shen Zhezi finished speaking, everyone in the hall was silent, all of them bowed their heads and groaned, digesting the information thrown out by Shen Zhezi. If another person says this, most of them will scoff at it, because the conditions are really generous. Employing a large number of artisans, or buying a house around Gyeonggi, is a good thing that money can't buy!

But these words came out of Shen Zhezi's mouth, and in their ears, the weight was already very different. Not to mention that they have made a lot of profits in the business alliance in the past, just what they saw with their own eyes just now that even the sect king's visit was turned away, which shows what kind of height the Shen family has reached now!

After a long time, one of the people in the banquet spoke: "If the horse has something to say, it will be a promise, which I and other villagers are convinced." However, there is one point, we can wait for the supply of materials, but can we not settle the material money, and all of them can be converted into work? ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked up at Shen Zhezi, which was exactly what they wanted. They are not short of money, and they don't care about the income at all, but if they can exchange money for merit and then convert it into these superior conditions, it will be too attractive to them!

The reason for this kind of thinking is that, on the one hand, because the central authority is weak, it is impossible to go back on such a major matter, and on the other hand, because the Shen family is powerful, which provides them with a strong political guarantee.

Shen Zhezi shook his head after hearing this, and said with a smile: "I can't hide it from you, the imperial court can open this opening, and my family has been fighting for a long time." Now it is because the palace garden needs to be built urgently, the conditions will be superior, and there will be no fortifications in the future, it will not be so generous. I also seized this opportunity to give priority to recommending villagers. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be a little disappointed after hearing this, and Qiu Cheng, the old man of the Qiu family, opened his mouth and said with a smile: "To get this opportunity, we have to thank the horses for their hard work." If you are not satisfied, it is really unjustifiable. ”

Hearing this, everyone also nodded, no longer insisting, and instead thanked Shen Zhezi for his affection.

When Shen Zhezi saw this, he smiled again: "You don't have to be discouraged, now that Gyeonggi is like this, it will definitely be built on a large scale in the future." Although many fortifications can no longer belong to the villagers, the fortifications are huge, and you can try your best to fight for them! ”

Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up, and they asked, "I don't know how much labor is required for the new?" ”

This time, there was no need for Shen Zhezi to answer, Yu Tiao had already said with a smile in the banquet: "This point has not yet been concluded in Taichung, but the horse has a plan, and a total of 36 squares will be built in the new capital in the future, and each square is not inferior to a city!" ”

Saying that, Yu Tiao distributed the more detailed construction drawings to the public, and everyone held the drawings in their hands, and then closed their eyes and imagined after carefully reading, and they couldn't help but be broken by the grandeur of this idea, which is simply unprecedented in Jiangdong! Originally, they were worried that there would be too few fortifications to compete for, but now it seems that even if they lose all their assets, they will not be able to complete the fortifications!

"This is just an idea, and whether Taichung will pass it or not is still in doubt. Even if we have to build them one by one in the future, it will not be done overnight. In short, the most important thing is to do the current thing well! ”

Shen Zhezi smiled again and said to everyone that the reason why he threw out an overall plan early was to paint a grand prospect for people. If the future capital city is so large, then the prospect of their early return on investment is also huge!

The formation of the huge market in Jingkou is due to the war in the north on the one hand, and the unique geographical location of Jingkou on the other hand. Although it is often not small, it is too closely related to the political confluence and more intricate than elsewhere.

If you rush in and compete with others, it will not only exacerbate the conflict, but also cause great internal friction. Then it is better to simply make the market bigger, so that every entrant can find their own position.

Moreover, such a long-lasting project will not only make Jiankang City more active, but also concentrate Jiangdong's manpower and material resources here, and it will also attract Jiangbei at that time.

Originally, Wuzhong's money and grain were to be transported to Jiangbei to support Jiangbei's operation, and the road alone was extremely far away, but now there is a project to build a new capital, and Jiankang is used as a transit station, which can save a lot of consumption. Moreover, Shen Zhezi's purpose is not only to attract Wuzhong's material resources, but also to attract wealthy families such as Jingjiang.

This kind of policy to attract private capital is not uncommon in later generations, even nowadays, in fact, there are precedents to follow. In the past, Jiangdong was either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, and the central court center was insufficient, and often asked the wealthy families from all sides to donate money, or to promise official positions, or to give them the privilege of covering the population and land in the local area in exchange.

Shen Zhezi just changed his way and put it under a unified plan.

The rotten ship also has three catties of nails, and although the broken ship of the Eastern Jin Dynasty trembles, it is not completely worthless. Just like the bankruptcy and liquidation of many companies in later generations, debt stripping, industrial spin-offs, etc., many industries with good benefits can burst out of great potential once they break away from the original structure.

What Shen Zhezi did was actually similar. Today, he does not have the ability and qualifications to grasp the overall situation, but he can master one aspect. With the goal of building a new capital, we will sort out and construct a collection channel of resources, and then guide where to put these resources.

The erosion of the north is not an instant defeat, but a concentrated outbreak of hidden dangers that have accumulated for more than a century. And if you want to recover your homeland in the Northern Expedition, it is definitely not the result of one or several battles, a strong army, a powerful minister, such a combination is too thin.

Spiral in and out, this kind of tug-of-war only makes the northern land repeatedly ravaged, and the vitality is even more depleted. You must know that the enemies faced by the Northern Expedition are not only the Qianhu who now occupy the Central Plains, but also the Xianbei tribes that followed. Kill the Beard with the least amount of consumption, so that you will have more confidence to face more ferocious enemies!

After this conversation in Shen Yuan, Wu Xing and these people have accelerated the dispatch of money and grain, and the construction of the palace has officially begun.

On this day, Xie Yi visited the house and at the same time sent an invitation to Shen Zhezi. It seems that after repeated trade-offs, Xie Pei has finally made a choice.
