Chapter 45

The construction of the entire Haicheng County can almost be said to be changing with each passing day.

Stones were quarried from the mountain, and then polished into strip bricks, and glutinous rice egg white and other materials were added to make simple adhesive materials for building.Finally, the compound soil was sandwiched in for compaction. Without affecting daily life, it took less than ten days to plan the city. The west wall was almost completed, and the north and south walls began to be built.

Facing the sea in the east, it is a natural barrier, but there are sentries and dams to prevent tsunamis.A port city gradually took shape under the planning of Shangguan Wan'er.What is surprising is that this city was actually built on the scale of Shang County.

Generally speaking, Shang County is often the seat of a county seat.And the city of Haicheng County has surpassed Longbian County in scale!The significance of the establishment of Haicheng County is almost self-evident!

"Is this considered revenge on my father?" Shi Hui also asked Shangguan Wan'er privately.

At that time, Shangguan Wan'er replied: "Cochin is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The food and goods outside cannot be transported in, and the goods inside cannot be transported out. Compared with land, sea transport is more convenient. In this way, a large number of warehouses are needed here. Large quantities of goods are also shipped here.

A large number of merchants will come to trade. The key is that here also needs a large number of manpower to participate in the transportation. We already have a scale of nearly 2 people here, which is already considered as a middle county. In addition, merchants will inevitably gather in the future. Build on the scale of Shangxian, and problems will soon arise!

However, there are too many foreign businessmen here, and in the past 20 years, it seems that there will be occasional tsunamis, and the change is too great.Therefore, even if it will become more prosperous than Longbian County in the future, it will not be able to become a government in the end.However, relying on this county seat can strengthen the connection with Jiaozhi County, Jiuzhen County, Hepu County, and even Nanhai County! "

"It's just that you have to be clear that Haicheng County is only approved according to the scale of the county. If it develops here in the future, the current political team will definitely not be enough. The biggest problem is Chidao! According to the standard, the government can only allocate funds to build a road that allows two Horses run parallel to each other, but if it is on the scale of Shangxian County, four horse-drawn carriages are needed to run side by side! It is the missing part of the funds, but we have to pay for it!" Shi Hui felt a little headache .

"Jiaozhi County, even Jiuzhen County, and Rinan County are rich in rice. In the past, they had to rely on land and risk transport to Hepu, and then transported to Cangwu County to Jingnan for sale. Now they only need to go to sea here, to Hepu County, You can go north immediately, which not only saves a lot of distance, but also reduces the probability of accidents, shouldn't they work together to build this commercial road?" Shangguan Wan'er replied with great interest.

As a result, many merchants, including Shijia, and even the merchants from Jiuzhen Nichinan seemed to be forced to pay a sum of money in the end to transfer the Chidao from Haicheng County to Ding'an, Quyang, and even Longbian. , to build up.

This is Shangguan Wan'er's real revenge on Shi Xie, but this matter is indeed of great benefit to the businessmen in the three counties, even Shi Xie has to accept it obediently.

Shi Hui originally planned to collect tolls from passing business travelers in order to maintain and make up for the consumption of the merchants.However, in this way, the largest toll toll received may be provided by their Shijia business firm, so they can only give up this idea.

Twenty merchant ships have been built, and Shi Hui finally allocated ten ships directly to the Shi family as compensation for the capital contribution.No matter what, he is the young patriarch of the Shi family, so he must put the interests of the family first.

The crew are all civilians of the system, and their sailing skills are very high, and they can go to the target port in a straight line and accurately.As for other merchant ships, most of them are jointly purchased or leased by other merchants.The crew is trained by themselves, and it is estimated that they can only take the coastal route, and the voyage is at least half longer than that of Shijia.

Naturally, the time to sell the goods was a day or two behind Shijia.

The good news is that the timber needed by the merchant ships is charged at five times the cost price, and the ten ships sold not only recovered the cost of the twenty merchant ships, but also earned an additional 3000 units of timber.

During the period, Shi Hui relied on collecting materials for 3000 tax and 30000 tax for stocking civilians, and recruited the remaining [-] civilians in the space as field soldiers, thus consuming [-] units of food.Of course he doesn't have that much food, but it's all thanks to a building.

How could there be no such building as the 'market' in the Age of Empires?After consuming 200 units of wood and 100 units of stone, Shi Hui built a market in the virtual panel in his mind, and then upgraded it to LV2.It seems that the higher the grade, the smaller the price increase and the smaller the price drop.

In the system market, iron ore, stone, wood, and food can be exchanged for gold, and then these four materials can be purchased in reverse with gold.Just like games, if a certain material is sold too much, the selling price will continue to drop, but it will gradually rise after twelve hours.It will take at least a month to fully restore to its original appearance!

In contrast, over-purchasing the same material will increase the price of the material.After 12 hours, it will gradually decline, and at least one month later, it will return to the original price.

During these more than ten days, Shi Hui gathered enough food and recruited these 3000 field soldiers.They started land reclamation and farming immediately, and the farming speed was actually [-]% faster than that of ordinary people.

A large number of fields have been reclaimed, and the fields are full of busy figures of these field soldiers.To his surprise, the 3000 field soldiers were all men.This obviously does not meet the basic 7:3 male to female ratio.

In the end, he confirmed one thing, that is, the soldiers recruited by the system can only be male, and there will be no female soldiers.This actually relieved Shi Hui to some extent, and he was worried that such a situation would happen.

Within ten days, Shi Xie sent documents again, saying that he had already discussed with the governor of Hepu County to build a small port in the south of Hepu, where a port is suitable for construction.As for whether it will develop into a port city in the future, it depends on the situation.

Shi Hui has also seen the specific location, and it happens to be the location of Beihai City in the future.According to the time calculation, the construction should have started at this moment. After all, it is only a port, not a port city. It can be completed in a maximum of ten days.

Shi Xie was obviously also aware of this, and sent people to bring in a large amount of mountain goods and furs and store them in the material warehouse at the dock.As soon as the time is up, immediately load the ship and set off.A day or two after leaving the port, other merchants began to transport their goods one after another. Knowing that Shijia's caravan had already set off ahead of schedule, they actually loaded the ship overnight and set off early the next morning.

It's just that they probably don't know that even if they keep chasing after them, it will be a day late before they reach Beihai Port.

Five days later, a merchant ship returned from the Shijia Trading Company and brought back a letter. After leaving it, the merchant ship left again after replenishing supplies.Shi Hui opened the letter suspiciously, only to find out that the goods had been successfully unloaded at Beihai Port, and began to be transported towards Zhulu County. After a while, they would enter Cangwu County, then go all the way north, and finally enter Changsha County for sale.

How much money can be sold, let alone, the manager of the commercial firm admitted that it is indeed convenient to use sea transportation, which saves about three to five days of land transportation. The key is that it is much safer. Letter to Shi Xie.

 There are a few chapters that are purely construction. After all, here in Jiaozhou, apart from farming, it is estimated that it is just bullying the Yue people and the barbarians.
