PS: The new plot of "Leisurely Datang" is about to begin, ask for all kinds of support!

Regarding the matter of when to enter Beijing and face the saint, Li Anran is not in a hurry. Of course, it's useless to be in a hurry.

After all, this kind of thing is to enter Beijing and face the saint, especially when it involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and it is not a unilateral entry of the Great Qin Empire.

Taking advantage of the time when the officials went back to work, Li Anran first asked the people below to buy thousands of acres of wasteland on the coast not very far from Dengzhou Port.

Then, at a wage slightly higher than the market price, a large number of people were hired to level the wasteland for the purpose of building a small wharf.

Although in today's Datang, every deep-water port is not allowed to be built by private individuals, but it doesn't matter if it's just a small wharf.

Who made Datang Since the opening of maritime transportation more than 300 years ago, maritime trade has flourished in a short period of time.

But precisely because of this, there is a limit to the throughput of each port, and there are some near-sea trade, which cannot all squeeze out the share of deep-water ports.

As a result, in addition to the government of the coastal county towns building large and small wharves for maritime trade, private individuals also began to build such wharves on their own territory to handle their own goods.

Regarding the problem that the sea area where this wasteland is located is too shallow, Li Anran didn't pay attention to it at all.

The large Galen ships originally had a number of small cargo ships that were used to transfer and transfer cargo between shallow and deep sea areas, and it was more convenient to have a large distance than to dock directly.

This is thousands of acres of wasteland. In addition to building several docks for small and medium-sized cargo ships, it will also be used as warehouses and small living quarters.

Although there is also a large warehouse area in Dengzhou Port, it is far better to put the goods in other people's places and not to mention the cost, and it is far better to put them on their own land in terms of safety alone.

As for the small living area, it is considered that in the future, it will definitely employ a lot of local craftsmen and laborers in Datang to support the operation of the entire dock area, and in addition to the residences, the corresponding supporting facilities must also be missing.

After the matter of thousands of acres of wasteland was quickly settled, Li Anran asked the people below to buy a shop with the best location on the most prosperous commercial street in Dengzhou at a sky-high price that made everyone dumbfounded.

If you want to say that Dengzhou has become a lively port city for maritime trade, the price of land and shops outside the city has risen in an instant like fireworks piercing the sky.

But there is a limit to how much the price can rise, take the shop with the best location. It is an old shop that has been passed down for three generations. I've been doing business in restaurants all the time.

It's not that no one wants to take it down and use it for themselves, but the owner of the store has no intention of selling it at all.

In addition, the other party has been operating in Dengzhou for three generations, even if it is not a local snake, but it can be regarded as some background in the local area. No one wants to be strong.

But precisely because of this. Almost every three days, people from both ends came to the door to discuss the transfer of the shop.

There are many people who are asking for the price. The proprietor of the shop was so annoyed that he simply opened a ridiculously high price, 500,000 taels of silver.

Although this shop is not only the shop facing the street. There is also a mansion with a large area inside, which is not much smaller than the new house Li Anran bought before.

But the price of 200,000 taels is really high, and the owner directly explained that he would not let half of the son, so his ears finally calmed down.

How do you know that not long after Cai'an was born here, someone actually came to the door to buy his own shop, which is said to be from an overseas maritime merchant called the Great Qin Empire.

For this request, the proprietor of the shop naturally repeated the old trick, and directly offered a price of 500,000 taels of silver, and he also said it very deadly.

If you want to give up this shop yourself, you can take 500,000 taels of silver, and no one is missing, otherwise you don't need to talk about it!

But what he never expected was that the bad thing this time was that he said it too much.

After the sky-high price of 500,000 taels of silver was reported, the people agreed without even a single pause, which directly made the young owner who inherited the ancestral business dumbfounded.

If only the two sides are talking, it will be fine, and it will be a big deal not to admit it afterwards.

But it's good that he can't die, this maritime merchant steward from the Great Qin Empire actually brought people from the Maritime Chamber of Commerce to visit with him.

In addition, if you are trading, you can open a high price, at most, someone will say that you are not sincere in trading.

But after the high price, it is clear that people have already agreed, and it is not as simple as not doing business sincerely if you regret it at this time.

Regardless of whether it was more than 300 years ago or more than 300 years later, except for a very small number of people who cheated and cheated, the vast majority of businessmen took their credibility quite seriously.

It doesn't matter how you use your tactics in order to make more profits, as long as you are within the limits of the rules.

What's more, the price of 500,000 taels of silver has far exceeded the maximum value of this shop.

Reputation, price and face, in the case of a three-pronged approach, the sale of this hotel has become inevitable.

After the news spread, the entire Dengzhou was stimulated by the huge amount of this transaction.

Although many people think that there is something wrong with the minds of the maritime merchants of the Great Qin Empire, how can they spend so much money and no land to spend it, they actually spent such a large price to buy such a shop.

But the impression that the maritime merchants of the Great Qin Empire were really rich also left a deep impression on people from all walks of life in this turmoil.

After the shop was vacated by the original owner, not only the restaurant facing the street, but also part of the house behind it was directly and completely demolished into empty land in just three days.

Then a large number of craftsmen were recruited, and with the personal hands brought by Li Anran, a new shop was built in less than a month.

Not long after the completion of the shop, a huge horizontal plaque was hung above the main entrance, and the horizontal plaque was written with the gilded characters "People's Bank of the Great Qin Empire".

Below this horizontal plaque, there is also a small plaque, on which is written "Datang Branch Dengzhou Branch" several small characters that are also gilded.

As soon as these two plaques were hung, the speculation about what the shop was going to do, which had been bought at a great price and rebuilt with a lot of manpower and material resources, was finally conclusive.

The bank is no longer a rare deposit for today's Datang.

The People's Bank of Datang has opened all over the entire Datang region, and there will be one in every county, the difference is only that the scale is large or small.

For private banks, that is, former money banks, Datang did not prohibit the operation.

It's not that the above doesn't understand the economic benefits that this banking industry can bring, in addition to the fact that these money banks that were originally operated have more or less some background.

The People's Bank of Datang, which has the entire Tang royal family as its backing, is not a place where private banks and money banks can compete.

In fact, after the official development of the People's Bank of Datang, the first unlucky ones were those large and small money banks in Chang'an and Luoyang, and then their counterparts in those important cities in Datang.

After more than 300 years of development, the entire Datang has become the dominant situation of the People's Bank of Datang.

The remaining banks and banks either have a good reputation and background, or can only rely on reducing profits to barely maintain a low-profit operating situation.

Of course, this problem is not a problem for Li Anran at all.

Regarding the envoy of the Great Qin Empire who threw money in Dengzhou, the officials of the Tang Dynasty not only did not mean to stop it, but were relieved a lot.

In the eyes of these people, since the so-called Great Qin Empire dared to spend so much silver in Dengzhou, it must have to develop the maritime trade industry well.

As for whether these industries will be used to do something unfavorable to Datang, hehe...... It's not impossible, but it's better to monitor an industry in the open than in the dark.

What's more, in addition to buying land and building wharves and warehouses, the maritime merchants of the Great Qin Empire only engaged in such a bank to conduct some exchange business.

Compared with the actions of some other maritime merchants, it is obviously much more peaceful.

Just when the Dengzhou Branch of the Datang Branch of the People's Bank of the Great Qin Empire was in full swing of preparations for its opening, Li Anran, who was originally in a relaxed and casual manner, left the earth of this time and space because of a sudden news. (To be continued......)
