The long winter is gradually leaving, and the warmth of spring begins to fill every corner of Qingzhou. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The temperature warmed up, everything recovered, and Qingzhou seemed to come alive.

After going to the camp in Qingzhou to issue military uniforms, Xiao Ming released a message through the government office, which immediately stirred up a thousand waves.

"Qingzhou is going to build a cement road, it is said that the streets in the market will be paved, and the east and west markets are the focus of transformation, this New Year, King Qi's handwriting is not small."

In a delicate house in Qingzhou Chengminfang, the old housekeeper was telling Guo Xinyuan about the news in today's "Qingzhou Daily".

"Cement road? Is that the kind of cement road we've seen in the workshop area? Guo Xinyuan said.

He was originally a businessman in Chang'an, but since he used all his belongings to build five soap mills in Qingzhou, he bought a house in Qingzhou and applied for Qingzhou household registration at the same time.

According to the regulations of Qingzhou, anyone who invests 100,000 taels of silver in Qingzhou can apply for Qingzhou household registration and settle in Qingzhou from now on.

At first, he was still a little apprehensive, but since Qingzhou came out with glass and mirrors again, he felt an advantage, because he lived locally, he could go to the door of the Chamber of Commerce every morning to line up to get the mirrors and glass sold that day.

Then he was able to use these mirrors and glass to earn silver, and in one winter, he made a lot of silver, and since then he has been at ease with the identity of Qingzhou people.

"No, this kind of road is very hard, and if you fall on it, you won't break your bones." The old housekeeper had palpitations, and the last time he went to buy goods, he fell on the road, but it hurt him to death.

Guo Xinyuan's eyes are purring, although the cement road is hard, but after the rain, it is still unimpeded, which is very suitable for carriages and people to rush and transport goods.

If the entire Qingzhou city is paved with cement roads, the appearance of Qingzhou will inevitably be greatly improved, and there will be no rain and mud all over the city.

Thinking of this, he was a little expectant.

However, he was more concerned about how to cultivate, so he continued to ask, "What else did you say above?" ”

"It also said that the government will recruit strong men to participate in the construction of the Qingzhou road, and will also pay money." The old butler recalled.

Guo Xinyuan's eyes lit up, and he said: "This is the way to make money, the entire Qingzhou City is paved, such a big job requires a lot of silver, we are really right to settle in Qingzhou, there is a way to make money everywhere, let's go to see Pang Changshi and ask about it." ”

Qingzhou Mansion.

Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun were talking about building the road, it was too cold in winter, and the road could not be repaired, because the cement would be frozen, so the project in Cangzhou was stopped in winter, and he couldn't make cement antifreeze.

Now that the weather is getting warmer, this municipal construction is about to start.

The style of a city is very important to attract wealthy businessmen from other places, and creating a comfortable living environment is the premise of attracting rich people to settle down, which has never changed since ancient times.

Therefore, he attaches great importance to the transformation of Qingzhou City, which is an important part of commercial construction.

"Pang Changshi, businessman Guo Xinyuan asks to see."

While the two were deliberating, an errand officer came to report.

"Guo Xinyuan?" Pang Yukun showed a playful look, "Your Highness, you said that Cao Cao Cao is here, it seems that there are not a few shrewd businessmen." ”

"Look at your appearance, do you know this Guo Xinyuan?" Xiao Ming asked.

"I know, this Guo Xinyuan is a Chang'an businessman who applied to join the Qingzhou household registration last year, and this household registration certificate was personally issued to him by the lower officials." Pang Yukun said.

"Well, yes, this is a good start, and I hope that more and more businessmen will join Qingzhou in the future." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

In fact, his policy is similar to investment immigration, which is a trick used by many countries to attract money and develop their economies in modern times.

Xiao Ming nodded and said, "Let him come in, maybe what he said is not a matter of the road." ”

Not long after, Guo Xinyuan entered the mansion, and when he saw that Xiao Ming was also there, he immediately bowed down and said, "I've seen Your Highness, I've seen Pang Changshi." ”

"Excuse me, Guo Xinyuan, this Wang Zheng and Pang Changshi are talking about this road, you won't come here for this matter." Xiao Ming got straight to the point.

Guo Xinyuan was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, it is for this reason that Your Highness is really clever, and the grass people came this time to ask Your Highness if we businessmen can participate in the construction of Qingzhou Road." ”

Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun glanced at each other, and Xiao Ming said, "Yes, but there is a premise." ”

Guo Xinyuan suddenly felt a little worried in his heart, this King Qi is now an extremely shrewd image in the hearts of businessmen, I don't know what ideas he will come up with, he still said: "Your Highness, please speak!" ”

"Two, first, the strong men you recruit must be local people in Qingzhou, and second, the materials needed for the construction project must be purchased from Qingzhou, and if you agree to these two, you can also participate in the construction of roads and underground pipelines."

"Buying materials locally from Qingzhou can naturally save freight, and there is no problem in recruiting people from Qingzhou, after all, grass people have settled in Qingzhou." Guo Xinyuan said.

Guo Xinyuan agreed so happily, Xiao Ming said: "No problem, these days, this king will release the bids, and you can choose to contract for different bids." ”

Guo Xinyuan was overjoyed when he heard this, and slowly withdrew after thanking him repeatedly.

Pang Yukun watched Guo Xinyuan leave, and continued: "Your Highness, you should take advantage of this opportunity to cultivate more businessmen like Guo Xinyuan, so that other businessmen can also make up their minds to stay in Qingzhou. ”

"What you say makes sense, and some builders should also be trained from the private sector."

"This is okay, but the people don't have so much money to buy materials and hire people." Pang Yukun said.

Xiao Ming smiled, "This is not a big problem, there is no money, we can lend it to them." ”

"Your Highness, it's a joke, how can there be any such thing as the government lending money to the people since ancient times." Pang Yukun waved his hand.

Xiao Ming said: "This king is serious, do you remember where the silver tickets used by merchants come from?" ”

"Cao's money bank."

Xiao Ming nodded, "It is said that the Cao family is the richest merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, and this Cao family's money bank is all over the Dayu Kingdom, this king is really envious, why don't we build an official money house in Qingzhou?" With this money, it is possible to lend money to the people and provide them with the capital to do business. ”

Pang Yukun fell into deep thought, pondered for a while, and said: "Your Highness, it's just between the shallowness of the lower officials, all the money houses are based on gold and silver, and as many silver tickets as there are are silver tickets, our treasury is not abundant." ”

"This is not a question of preparing to build a bank, more will be issued, less will be issued, and this will take the opportunity to build Qingzhou Bank." Xiao Ming made up his mind.
