"It can actually govern a city and a county like this, it really means that it is a bit of a big country to cook a small fresh!"

On the ninth day of December in the second year of Yuan Fu, in the palace of the emperor, in the Funing Palace, the sleeping palace of the officials of the past dynasties, Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, leaned on a soft couch, closed his eyes and listened to a beautiful woman reciting a chapter, and when he heard more than half of it, he couldn't help but praise it.

This beautiful woman was about twenty-two or three years old, and was born very brightly, with beautiful facial features, snowy skin, and a slender figure, and wore a gorgeous hairpin dress—a very solemn dress, but the woman in this dress was born quite smart, and a pair of big and bright beautiful eyes flashed, revealing an intoxicating smile, and there were two shallow dimples on her cheeks.

"Your Majesty, the person who wrote this piece is a martial artist, how can you say that he is praising the prime minister?"

The woman's voice is also very good, like a silver bell. After hearing this, the official Zhao Xu also showed a smile on his sallow face: "Qingjing, the difference between civil and military is just a difference in origin, and it has nothing to do with talent. Military attachés may not be able to govern one side, and civil ministers are not incapable of leading troops to fight. And this man ...... In fact, he is not a real martial artist, but a businessman and painter, that Wu Haogu. ”

It turns out that this chapter is from Wu Hao, and the content is the constitution of the Jiehe Commercial City Chamber of Commerce and the construction plan of the commercial market.

In October, the "Covenant of Qingzhou" was officially approved by the Great Song Emperor Zhao Xu, and the edict also ordered Wu Haogu, the "head of Jiehe Shang City", to be responsible for the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce and the establishment of the Shang City Administration.

Therefore, during the period from late October to the present, the ancient capital of Wuhao was busy preparing for the establishment of the chamber of commerce and the establishment of the chamber of commerce. Both institutions have now erected their skeletons, and the temporary office is located in Panjiayuan. Twenty-five of the thirty-three shareholders have deposited their share capital into the business market account of the Pan family's gold, silver, silk and silk shop, and have received a total of 250,000 yuan!

In addition, the construction plan of the commercial market is also in full swing. Wu Hao had drawn a topographic map a long time ago, and now he and Huang Shilang had drawn a plan for the commercial market, and asked Li Jie, who was worrying about it, to help revise it. And Li Jie, with Huang Shilang and Hua Manshan, worked out the construction plan of the commercial market.

Wu Haogu negotiated with the shareholders of the Chamber of Commerce for many days on the legislation and various rules and regulations of the commercial market. By the beginning of December, he was finally able to submit a preliminary answer to the emperor.

This "answer sheet", which cost a lot of brain cells in Wu Haogu, not only showed Zhao Xu an orderly and thriving vision for the future of the commercial market, but also allowed Zhao Xu to see a method of urban self-governance that he had not heard of in the past.

Although urban autonomy sounds a bit like a feudal town, it certainly cannot be promoted on a large scale. However, the rules and systems established by Wu Haogu are still quite desirable.

And from these rules and regulations, Zhao Xu seems to have discovered a talent for execution!

"Qingjing," Zhao Xu glanced at his beloved queen Liu Qingjing, looking at her adorable innocent and beautiful appearance, the Great Song official couldn't help but sigh lightly, "Let's see how he is doing in Jiehe Commercial City?" If you really have the ability, you will give him a jinshi in the future, let him transfer the text, and train him to be a ruler. ”

"What's the hell?" Empress Liu Qingjing was stunned, looked at her husband and said, "Your Majesty, aren't you joking with the slave?" He is a businessman, how can he be a ruler? ”

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "Among the courtiers in their twenties now, I look at the ones who have a little sign of dominating the Privy Council, Ji Yi and him...... Ji Yi's list is a must, he is an official to take the exam, and the champion cannot be given, but it is no problem to be ranked first. After waiting for Dabi, he will be sent to Qingtang to be the magistrate, if he can make some achievements, he will be of great use in the future. Do you remember? ”

"Slave ......" Liu Qingjing looked at Zhao Xu and immediately understood what her husband meant.

Zhao Xu's health has been getting worse and worse recently, and I'm afraid he won't be able to survive for a few years. At most, it is to stay up until there is a nephew who can take over, and then you can go with confidence. And at that time, it will be Liu Qingjing, a young woman in her twenties, who will listen to the government.

Who can orphans and widows rely on in the future?

Of course, Zhang Dian is a reliable minister, but what about after Zhang Dan's death? Of course, there are many older uncles, but they are not people that the queen can control! The queen has to have her own people to control the government, and her own people who can be used by the queen, Zhao Xu looks at it, Zhang Dan's grandson-in-law Ji Yi is one, and it is actually Wu Haogu...... These two people are people who can do things. The country can't all be high-profile officials, there must be officials who can handle the facts.

And Wu Haogu is indeed capable and methodical. It's actually better to lack a Jinshi background, and let Queen Liu, who became the queen mother, reward him in the future, and he is still not grateful to Dade for the use of the Empress Dowager Liu? In fact, what the emperor is most afraid of is to meet a perfect person and a saint, and he can't say it, he can't stop it, and most of them don't help you with things, so he can only be an ancestor for it.

On the contrary, it is easy to send an official like Wu Haogu, who has the ability and problems!

This is the imperial power technique, Zhao Xu thought to himself: The queen is from a humble background, and her mind is too simple, so she doesn't know these.

"Your Majesty, your dragon body ......" In Liu Qingjing's big eyes, tears suddenly flickered.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Zhao Xu waved his hand and said with a smile, "I still have some time, and there are always a few years...... You help me up, I'm going to rest. ”

……

In order to facilitate things, Wu Haogu took Pan Qiaolian, Ximen Qing and others, and since November, they have borrowed and lived in the West Fourth Courtyard of Panjiayuan. That is, the residence of the Pan family brothers and sisters in the Pan family. Although the houses here are old, they are very spacious, and the location is good, not as remote as Ewha Villa.

At this time, he was watching the model of the Jiehe Commercial Market that had just been made with Huang Zhisheng and Huang Zhisheng.

Of course, the model is made according to the "imaginary map", and it will certainly not be the same as the actual commercial market that will be built in the future. However, the foundation is still the same, with a semicircular city, tall embankments, circular or divergent streets, a port square on the bank of the boundary river (which is also the district where the municipal buildings are located), and ten thousand tiles with many pavilions.

Oh, and Wu Haogu's own city official hall, as well as the lighthouse academy, lighthouse university hall and lighthouse ship administration hall outside the city, all of which were displayed in front of Wu Haogu's eyes one by one.

If these things are really built, Wu Haogu thought to himself: I will own a city!

"Not bad, well done!" Wu Haogu nodded again and again, "Shiro, can you let go of the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion?" ”

There are several real estate projects in operation in Kaifeng Mansion, one is the Christie's Hall next to the Huaxian Temple, which has begun construction. One is located in the north of the city, and the "tube building" project converted from a warehouse has also started.

However, compared with Wanhe Real Estate's project in Kaifeng Mansion, what will be carried out in Jiehe Commercial City is a real big project - building a city! As a master craftsman in the construction industry, it is rare to meet it once in a lifetime.

"I can put it down," Huang Zhisheng said, "Now the vice president of Wanhexing is expected to be a younger brother of my own family, who has worked with Li Jiangzuo, and he will take over." ”

"That's good." Wu Haogu nodded, "Come with me next spring, and you will be the director of the commercial market construction office." ”

The name of the business market has also been changing, at first it was "business", now it has become "office", and in the future it may become a larger "bureau" or "department".

Wu Haogu then instructed: "At present, the construction of the construction center is a dam, a ditch, a waterway, a chamber of commerce hall, a municipal hall and various government offices, as well as a medical hall, a wharf, and a lighthouse academy outside the city. ”

"Craftsmen and craftsmen can be found in Kaifeng Mansion," Huang Zhisheng asked, "How to recruit strong workers?" But did the government mobilize the people? ”

Wu Haogu has tossed around in real estate, and although he has not made a penny of profit until now. However, it allowed his Republic Bank to have the connections and construction ability and experience of the construction industry.

With this foundation, Wu Haogu will be able to grasp the construction of Jiehe Commercial City in his hands!

"There is no need for people," said Wu Haogu, "with indentured servitude...... We built our own construction firm. ”

"Build your own construction firm?" Huang Zhisheng was stunned, "How many strong workers do you have to hire?" This commercial market construction project, even if it is slowly constructed in a few years, will require at least tens of thousands of strong men. ”

"Tens of thousands are tens of thousands," Wu Hao Gudao, "There are many projects to be done, and there are not many strong workers to raise." ”

The commercial market construction office in Wuhaogu's plan is actually a "public" construction firm, specializing in the construction of various public works, and will also have its own professional engineering team.

Needless to say, building such an engineering team is also a need to prepare for the war against gold. The engineering corps is probably the closest production department to the field troops.

The engineering team can gather a large number of strong men, have a good organization, and master the ability to build fortified camps, build large equipment and transport materials over long distances. If the strong men are then organized into armor, issued weapons (weapons that can be legally owned), and conducted military training, then in the future, this "engineering army" can easily be upgraded to a field force in the event of an incident—about only armor, crossbows, spears longer than the prescribed length, and a small number of light and heavy cavalry. For an industrial and commercial city of 200,000 people, it seems that it is not very difficult to upgrade a well-organized engineering team to an army.

Of course, this is only a long-term plan for 10 or 20 years, and it has little to do with the workers that the market construction office is recruiting right now. By that time, they would have already become uncles.

When Wu Haogu was discussing with Huang Zhisheng, Luo Han ran in from outside like a gust of wind, and said with a blessing: "Master, the flower staff is outside the slave, and several shareholders of the Jiehe Chamber of Commerce are here." ”

"Shiro," Wu Haogu said to Huang Zhisheng with a smile, "Let's go, let's go meet you." ”
