"Jingdong City?"

Ji Yi heard the name of "Jingdong" for the first time in the famous shopping mall in the future, but he was a little stunned, "Grandp. Yue, where is the Bosi of Jingdong City?" ”

"The city of Jingdong Road," Lu Jia interjected, "the one in Banqiao Town, Mizhou." ”

Banqiao Town, Mizhou is the place of Qingdao City, which was the only city opened by the Song Dynasty in the north in history. However, the development of Banqiao Port, which is under the jurisdiction of the city's shipping department, is not only not as good as Haizhou, the largest port north of the Huai River, but also is now being stolen by the Jiehe Commercial Market, which has just opened for a few years.

"No......" Zhang Dian waved his hand, and sent all the female dancers who were singing and dancing out, and the cabin of the large was suddenly quiet.

He continued: "How can Banqiao Town have Haizhou? Banqiao Town has a port but no river, and it is an isolated port if it cannot be connected to the Grand Canal, so it can't compete for the boundary river commercial market. I look at the ports of the Northland, and the only one that can be compared with the Jiehe Commercial Market is the Haizhou Commercial Port. Therefore, Jingdong City should not be located in Mizhou, but in Haizhou. ”

"Makes sense!" Lu Jia asked and nodded, "Land transportation is not comparable to water transportation!" If the coal in Xuzhou is pulled to Haizhou by a cart, it will take more than 400 miles, and a cart can pull up to a few hundred catties at most, which is not good at all. ”

"It's only more than 400 miles," Zhang Dian smiled, "and it is at least a thousand miles to enter the canal from Banqiao Town, Mizhou, and there are many mountain roads along the way." How can this Banqiao Town, Mizhou, compete with Haizhou and the boundary river?

Therefore, the city of Jingdong Road has to move to Haizhou to do a good job! ”

Ji Yi shook his head, "Grandfather-in-law, Haizhou does not belong to Jingdong East Road, Haizhou is the territory of Huainan East Road." ”

Zhang Dian smiled: "This is too easy to do, as long as an edict is not enough?" Haizhou is divided into Jingdong East Road, and at the same time, a commercial market and a city shipping department are set up in Haizhou according to the boundary river regulations, which are called Jingdong City Shipping Division, in addition to Haizhou Commercial City, it also has jurisdiction over two cities such as Banqiao Town, Mizhou and Penglai Town, Dengzhou. All commercial markets, including Haizhou Commercial Market, Banqiao Town Commercial Market, and Penglai Town Commercial Market, can be bought to merchants or chambers of commerce to operate like Jiehe Commercial Market. ”

"Can the official agree?" Lu Jia asked with some suspicion.

"Why not?" Zhang Dian said with a smile, "Officials of the imperial court are usually only sent to counties, and cities and towns are controlled by local governments. Moreover, before the big business market did not buy and fight, the total tax of the country's maritime trade merchants was only a few hundred thousand. Now the Jiehe Shang City family can pay more than 100,000 yuan in the open, and I don't know how much is secretly used by the official family! He also sold weapons, transported grain, bought wood, and horses, and didn't know how much he did for the imperial court. There should be a few more such markets and commercial markets, and Wang Jinggong didn't have to offend people so much back then. ”

Ji Yi nodded: "Today's officials have big hearts and dare to delegate power, so they should agree to set up the Jingdong City Shipping Division...... If we can take this city and the most fat Haizhou business market under the city company, we will not be afraid of running out of money in the future. ”

Zhang Dian looked at Zeng Bu. Now Zhang Dian and Lu Jiawen are both retired, and it is inconvenient to talk about things. Among the three officials present who were still on the stage, Zeng Bu was the highest-ranking official, so he naturally wanted him to take the final decision.

Zeng Bu frowned, as if he was thinking hard, and when he saw the eyes cast by Zhang Dan, he muttered: "Everything else is easy to say, but I am afraid that the businessman will further expand by buying three commercial markets!" ”

Several people in the cabin were stunned when they heard Zeng Bu's words, and then they all fell silent.

Zeng Bu then said: "This dynasty does not suppress annexation, and treats industry and commerce leniently, but in the years of Wang Jinggong's reign, he carried out the "Qingmiao Law" and "City Yi Law" to suppress industry and commerce. But now it has long been a great prosperity of industry and commerce, and the fact that Jiehe Commercial City can rise up is not so much because of the ability of Wuhao Gu, but because of the great prosperity of industry and commerce in this dynasty. And the end of the industry and commerce made a fortune through the Jiehe commercial market...... I'm afraid the population of Jiehe Commercial City is no less than 50,000 now, right? In a few years, 100,200,000 will be possible, which is the size of a state!

Now we are going to engage in Jingdong City and open three new commercial markets at once...... Will the power of this merchant be too great? ”

"No," Lu Jia asked, "If these three new merchant markets are called Wu Haogu, it will indeed make the merchant power swell." Let us do it, how can we increase the power of merchants? Our Haizhou commercial market should develop on the basis of Tianya Town, and it is still necessary to implement the three-level meeting, and the level of Shinong industry and commerce cannot be messed up. ”

Zeng Bu still frowned, but nodded slightly: "If that's the case, you might as well give it a try...... However, what to do in Dengzhou Penglai Commercial Market and Mizhou Banqiao Commercial Market still has to be considered in the long run. ”

……

Just when Zhang Dan, Ji Yi, Zeng Bu, Lu Jiawen and others were discussing the establishment of Jingdong City, Wu Haogu had already returned to Haizhou in the crisp autumn.

The purpose of his return to Haizhou this time was mainly to accompany Pan Qiaolian, who had just given birth to a daughter, to relax. Therefore, instead of living in the increasingly prosperous Tianya Town, he moved to a villa on Yuntai Mountain. In addition to accompanying his wife and children, he will also go to the Yuntai Academy to give lectures, teach "Tianli Theory" and "Empirical Theory", and if he still has time, he will use it to write books and make theories.

Recently, he is writing several books on painting, namely "Painting Perspective", "Painting Sketch", "Painting Color", "Human Body Sketching", "Oil Painting Techniques" and so on...... Compared with philosophy, art is the old profession of martial arts, of course, we must take advantage of the fact that we have not lost all our old profession because of the busyness of everything, and leave a little more cultural heritage to all mankind.

He was now dressed in a loose robe, sitting on a rose chair in the shade of a tree, and writing leisurely on the paper with a brush. Luo Han and maid were beside him to polish ink and clean up manuscripts. This yellow-haired girl is now fully developed, with a graceful figure and bumpy figure.

Pan Qiaolian came in from outside the courtyard, and when she saw her, Luo Hanwen hurriedly made a blessing ceremony.

"Luohan, you are busy with you," Pan Qiaolian commanded, and walked to Wu Haogu's side, "Official, the letter from the eldest sister has arrived, everything is fine, and the fetal position is also very positive, counting the days are these days." You are really blessed to be the father of five children in the blink of an eye. ”

"The eldest sister can only let her deal with it herself, and I have to live in Haizhou for a while longer...... Things on the Japanese side have to be arranged in order. ”

The purpose of Wu Haogu's stay in Haizhou was to piece together a delegation for Su Shi to visit Japan. Hua Manshan's letter almost arrived in Haizhou with Wu Haogu, and Hua Manshan high-speed Wu Haogu on the letter, he really contacted a Japanese "lord" who was willing to send people to the Great Song Dynasty in Hakata Port, Japan, named Abidyu Qinzhong...... Anyway, Wu Haogu has never heard of an Abidyu clan in Japan.

But it doesn't matter, as long as there is a name, Su Shi can take a "delegation to Japan" from Goryeo to the south. Anyway, Wu Haogu didn't really plan to do it in one step, and if he could deploy a little bit on Jeju Island at this stage, it would be a great success.

And to complete the distribution, it is not possible to rely on Su Shi, who can only open his mouth, and he must arrange a few doctors who will not leave his sword to follow.

Of course, you can't all be doctors. It hasn't been long since the Yuntai Academy opened, and there are few doctors who can really be used - the quality of this year's doctors in Haizhou Yuntai Academy Palace is not good. Most people didn't know martial arts at all before they entered school, so how long have they been practicing now? How can he be as good at convincing people with virtue as Zilu? Wu Haogu has practiced it himself, and of course he knows that the difficulty of practicing martial arts is not below Xiwen, and it is best to lay a foundation from an early age.

Wu Haogu is a "warrior" who became a monk halfway, let alone fighting with strong men like Zhou Yunqing and Zhao Zhongge now, even Olga, oh, it's not Olga, even the Arhat maid Wu Haogu can't beat it! The one who practiced swordsmanship for Wu Haogu was the Luohan maid, this girl was very strong, not only with great strength, but also with enough endurance......

So Wu Haogu wanted to pick a few more capable ones from the Yuntai Academy...... Uh, let the Luohan maid test them! As long as you can compete with Luohan and maid for dozens of rounds, you can make do with being a "commander", and if you really fight, you have to buy it from Jiehe Commercial Market.

That's right, it's a purchase!

Jiehe Trading Market is open to the trade of slaves! There is also a large slave market invested by Xiao Baoxian in Jiehebei City, where many slaves are sold.

Wu Haogu has asked the Lin family and his son to buy "war slaves" from the Jiehe slave market for training, and now they have gathered hundreds of war slaves, and they can completely transfer some of them to the "Japanese Mission" as thugs.

In addition, Wu Haogu also planned to hire a hundred and ten sea-running guards in Haizhou and the nearby Banqiao Town of Mizhou, which could be used together with the Divination War Slaves.

In addition, Wu Haogu also withheld a batch of leather armor, buffalo horn bows, swords, rattan plaques, and arrowheads from weapons and equipment exported to Goryeo. It is possible to equip a mission guard of almost 200 people. They also ordered shovels, shovels, axes, hammers and other construction tools from Xuzhou to build a seowon on Jeju Island.

"Official," Pan Qiaolian paused, and then said, "When do you plan to leave?" Is Chinese New Year's Eve coming back this year? ”

Wu Hao Gu said: "At the end of September at the latest, we will have to leave, this time we can't be too rushed, Olga just gave birth to a child, Brother Tie is young, and this journey will take more than half a month." Chinese New Year's Eve seems to be over the Jiehe River, and when the canal freezes next year, you can take your children back to Kaifeng by boat. When we are in spring, let's meet in Kaifeng Mansion. ”

"Brother Tie" is the son of Olga to Wu Hao Gusheng, because he is a bad child, so he is not included in the Wu family tree, and he is not a righteous character. Therefore, Wu Haogu gave his mixed-race son the nickname "Iron Brother", and the big name was left for later.

Because Wu Tiege is a son of evil, he is not Pan Qiaolian's child in terms of etiquette, so it is inconvenient for Pan Qiaolian to take care of it all the time. Therefore, Wu Haogu is ready to take Olga's mother and son to Jiehe Shang City to settle down.
