Chapter 320: The Black-Hearted Prefect

With the expansion of the Hou Mansion, Yingyu and Qing'er have separate courtyards. In order www.biquge.info to cultivate her independent character, Ouyang Shuo also arranged for the little girl to live alone in a small courtyard and be taken care of by Zi Su herself.

Although the Hou Mansion has been expanded repeatedly, the tradition of eating in the palace has been maintained. The two sisters, Yingyu and Qing'er, no matter how busy they are, will rush to the main courtyard and accompany Ouyang Shuo to dine together.

Ouyang Shuo arranged it like this, and he didn't want to dilute the feelings between brothers and sisters because of the distance in space.

Compared with Yingyu's rumors, Qing'er's Nizi is living a very nourishing life. Her garment-making workshop has been expanded again and again, and now it has developed into the largest workshop in Shanhai City, employing hundreds of tailors alone.

Orders from garment workshops have long been not limited to basic welfare contracts from the Financial Services Bureau, but have received orders from ordinary people, major settlements and even chambers of commerce.

In the next step, Qing'er is also preparing to introduce looms and establish a large-scale weaving workshop to solve the problem of cloth supply. In addition, the large-scale garment shops opened on the street will basically open up the upper and lower industrial chains.

In the future, Qing'er is even preparing to lease a large area of land in the west to build a special mulberry garden and cotton orchard to solve the source of the material problem.

Qing'er herself is still in charge of the tailor shop, mainly responsible for the design of clothing styles and high-end customization.

The industrial chain theory taught to her by Ouyang Shuo was used to the extreme by Xiao Nizi.

With the expansion of the business territory, it will bring a steady stream of profits to Qing'er. The wealth dream of a small fortune fan has been basically realized, and his personal assets are close to 10,000 gold coins, and he has become a wealthy businessman in Shanhai City.

Ouyang Shuo didn't expect that Qing'er was so talented in business.

The disadvantage is that Qing'er seems to be too obsessed with wealth, and even the craftsmanship of housekeeping will be slowly wasted. She was the first skilled person in the territory to be promoted to a master, but she was not the first skilled person to be promoted to a grandmaster.

Regardless of the grandmaster-level blacksmith Wang Hao who came later, or the master-level shipbuilder Zheng Dahai, they must be one step ahead of her, and after the construction of the "Dragon Head", it seems that they will be promoted soon.

For this reason, Ouyang Shuo deliberately approached Qing'er and explained to her the powerful relationship. He really didn't want to see Qing'er's excellent tailoring talent wasted.

As for the effect, it remains to be seen by time.

The development of garment workshops is basically the epitome of the rapid development of shops in Shanhai City in the early days.

The first batch of privatized workshop owners and shopkeepers, as long as they did not change in the middle of the process, basically became rich, and became a group of people who became rich first in the territory.

As wealth grew, so did the desire of merchants.

The first is to put forward a higher demand for the living environment. Wealthy businessmen are no longer satisfied with the small residential courtyards built by the Construction Division, but want to buy homesteads and build large mansions on their own.

To put it bluntly, they are the living conditions of the red-eyed residence district.

Just after the Shanhai City plan was released, the Construction Department and Shanhai Mansion jointly planned a piece of land in the planned outer city, which was leased to powerful wealthy businessmen and allowed them to build their own houses.

In the regional planning of Shanhai City, the core area where the Lianzhou Hou Mansion is located is called Wangcheng. Beyond the royal city is the inner city. The interior of the walls of the former Shishui County and Youyi County, also known as the Inner City.

The area outside the three inner cities is collectively referred to as the outer city.

The area of the outer city is more than 600 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of eight Tang Chang'an cities. With such a large area, Shanhai Mansion is certainly not distressed to use.

With the land transfer fee alone, Shanhai Mansion has recorded more than 50,000 gold coins, and it is still growing.

In addition to wealthy businessmen, the spending power of military family members cannot be ignored.

With the passage of time, the generals in the army basically married their daughters-in-law and started a family. Generous military salaries ensure that their relatives can live a prosperous and stable life.

For the families of soldiers, the territory has preferential treatment.

Shanhai Mansion is also in the outer city, planning a larger area as a family area for soldiers. Compared with ordinary residential areas, the living conditions in this area are much more advanced and the facilities are more complete.

Of course, there is a fee for the residence, and it sells for a lot of money. In this way, Wei Ran, the prefect of Shanhai Mansion, looted the military salaries that the soldiers had worked so hard to save at one time.

Because of this, the soldiers called Wei Ran a "black-hearted prefect" behind their backs, and even made trouble with the Military Affairs Bureau for a time.

Du Ruhui, the director of military affairs, was also helpless, after all, Wei Ran acted in accordance with the charter and did not overstep. Moreover, the military and political affairs of the territory are separated, and although he is the director of military affairs, he can't control Wei Ran's head.

When Ouyang Shuo learned about this, he just laughed it off and ignored it. He couldn't have imagined that Wei Ran would have such an economic mind and be able to perfectly restore the modern real estate industry in Shanhai City.

In addition to selling land to wealthy businessmen to build houses, Wei Ran also actively lobbied the major chambers of commerce, persuading them to take land in the outer city and build various workshops supporting the chamber of commerce.

The Cui Chamber of Commerce was the first to respond, and at a price of 20,000 gold coins, it took the lead in winning a piece of land on the bank of the Friendship River. The Hequan Ji Chamber of Commerce was naturally not far behind, and won a larger piece of land at a price of 30,000 gold coins.

The closer you get to the river, the more sought-after the land becomes.

Of course, there is a charter for everything. If the Chamber of Commerce wants to take land, it is not that it can take any piece of land, it must be in line with the overall planning of Shanhai City, and it can only take land in the demarcated area, and it cannot take a piece in the east and a piece in the west, and it must form a cluster effect.

Only when all the land in one area is sold will the land in the next area be sold.

Not only that, Wei Ran also personally rushed to Xianyang to lobby the chamber of commerce in Xianyang City, inviting them to invest in Shanhai City and set up a branch.

Not to mention, Wei Ran's lobbying is really effective, and there are already two chambers of commerce that have agreed to settle in Shanhai City.

The construction of Shanhai City has also attracted the attention of Quanzhou.

Relying on the good relations between the two places, Wei Ran did his best to publicize the planning and development prospects of Shanhai City, and also formulated a series of preferential policies to attract the people of Quanzhou to settle down or do business in Shanhai City. After Wei Ran's operation, the wave of immigrants in Quanzhou ushered in a small peak.

In Quanzhou alone, four chambers of commerce have agreed to settle in Shanhai City.

After tasting the sweetness, Wei Ran's ambition also swelled, and he began to contact the offices of Shanhai City in the major royal cities, actively promote the policies of Shanhai City, and attract the chambers of commerce of the major royal cities to settle in Shanhai City.

After this incident, Shanhai City has completely made a name for itself and is famous all over the world.

All of a sudden, Shanhai City was full of people and was very lively.

Wei Ran's core idea is to use private funds and private forces to jointly build Shanhai City.

Thinking about it carefully, Wei Ran is really "black-hearted". Shanhai City not only sells land, but also acts as a real estate developer, which is a step up from modern society.

In this way, Shanhai City has withdrawn a large amount of funds, which is enough to support the subsequent construction of Shanhai City. The Finance Bureau is still worried about raising funds for the construction of Shanhai City, but Wei Ran has already solved the problem on his own.

You must know that the city wall project is only a small part of the construction of Shanhai City. After the construction of the city wall, the construction of roads in the city and the construction of municipal implementation are the main ones, and the funds required are simply astronomical.

Financial allocations alone will obviously not work.

This is also one of the main reasons why Ouyang Shuo did not interfere with Wei Ran, there is no money! After this incident, Wei Ran can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in Shanhai City and initially establishing his prestige.

Of course, it will take at least a year or two for Shanhai City to be completed.

Straight to the point.

During dinner, Ouyang Shuo mentioned going to Yazhou.

On this trip, Shiso will definitely accompany him.

Bing'er had already gotten the news, the little girl was a goblin, and she had already inquired clearly, knowing that the Yazhou in her brother's mouth was the beautiful Sanya, and she was very excited.

In reality, Ouyang Shuo once took Bing'er to Sanya once, and the little girl still remembers it vividly.

"I'm going too!" Seeing Bing'er's joy and twittering about the beautiful scene of Yazhou Beach, Qing'er, this girl, couldn't help but be curious, and began to pester Ouyang Shuo.

"Accurate!" Ouyang Shuo naturally does not favor one over the other.

"Yay! Big brother is the best! Qing'er was excited and got into trouble with Bing'er.

As Ouyang Shuo expected, Qing'er and Bing'er, one big and one young, are really "smelly of each other", the two are extremely close to each other, and now they are like a pair of sisters, and their feelings are deeper than anyone else.

"Brother, can you take Xiaobai with you?" Bing'er suddenly remembered her little friend. The little white wolf shrank in Bing'er's arms at this moment, and when he heard the little master speak, he turned his head to look at Ouyang Shuo very spiritually, with a pair of small eyes, so cute that he couldn't do it, he didn't look like the supreme in the wolf clan at all.

"Absolutely!" Ouyang Shuo couldn't refuse.

Xiaobai was full of spirituality, and he could fully understand their conversation, and when he saw Ouyang Shuo agree, his eyes narrowed happily, as cute as he wanted.

"What about Blackie?" The little girl began to inch in.

Ouyang Shuo was speechless, he was really clever: "As long as you want, you can take whomever you want." ”

"Yay!"

Yingyu, who was sitting on the side, watched her two younger sisters fight, and her face was depressed. She has a hard life, as the Minister of Finance, one of the Big Four, she can't get out of her body at all, and she can only envy at the moment. (To be continued.) )
