Take the mall to Datang

Feng An said a lot about the situation, and Yuan Shan listened very carefully.

"Feng Shishi, the development of Lingnan has just started, and the population is very much needed as a labor force. The people here in Guangzhou alone cannot meet the construction needs. Let's see if we can go to Duanzhou, which is the closest to Guangzhou, to recruit people, and the treatment is the same as it is now." Yuan Shan Said.

"Isn't the number of people enough? The construction of the port is almost done. Even if there are more people, it will cost a lot. The key is that there is no one to do it for them." Feng An said.

"Why not? After the construction of the port, you can still reclaim the land. In addition, the city of Guangzhou will naturally need to be built. Not to mention that so many people need at least a place to live. Most of the people hired need to be used to build houses." Yuan Shan said.

"Well, this matter will be dealt with as soon as possible." Feng An said.

"Well, let the Liao people start building houses now, but there must be rules and regulations in the construction, and random construction will affect the management of the city." Yuan Shan said.

Feng An responded, but he didn't know much about urban planning, so this matter naturally fell on Yuan Shan again.

In the small wooden building, Du Qianyu came over with a bowl of eight-treasure porridge and said, "Husband, eat something, and be careful not to get tired."

Yuan Shan's eyelids started to twitch in an instant, and he was a little apprehensive looking at the eight-treasure porridge.

"Hey, this porridge looks normal, it doesn't look like a dark dish, let's forget it. You must not risk your life with this kind of thing." Yuan Shan made up his mind that he must not drink it.

"Husband, what are you looking at? Caiyi has been cooking this for a long time. I see that Caiyi has worked too hard for the past few days before bringing the porridge. You can't refuse her kindness." Du Qianyu said.

"Oh, I just feel that this porridge is a bit hot, so I'll drink it now." Yuan Shan said immediately.

Anyway, as long as you know it wasn't Du Qianyu's work.

Seeing Yuan Shan start to drink porridge, Du Qianyu asked from the side: "Husband, Lingnan is too poor here, and the trade routes are impassable. It takes a lot of effort to transport the goods from Tang Dynasty. Merchants are rare in Lingnan. Can such a place really develop?"

"Everything will be fine. What my husband is doing now is to open up business routes. Who said that Lingnan will develop within three years after being poor." Yuan Shan said.

With enigmatic self-confidence, Du Qianyu was speechless. It seemed too mythical for the development of this place in three years.

Many people don’t believe it, but Yuanshan knows that the development of the resource industry will not only drive the development of local industries, but also become a pillar of local industries, such as the Yantian project he is about to launch. As long as the salt drying is successful, will the court ignore it? , Will His Majesty ignore it?

At that time, as long as there are enough interests, the railway tracks can be laid all the way from Chang'an to here.

Chapter 777

"Have you heard that Guangzhou is recruiting workers? The salary is good and you don't have to worry about food. Do you want to try Erbao? You will be able to save enough gift money in less than two years." said the middle-aged man in the village of Duanzhou.

"Uncle Da Nian, why don't you go with such a good treatment? Aren't you a carpenter? I heard that craftsmen used to pay more. Why don't you take me as an apprentice and we can go together." Er Bao said.

"You really have a lot of tricks, kid. The carpentry apprentice pays more than ordinary laborers, but what can you do if you really have passed the craft? If someone finds out that you don't know anything, it will hurt your uncle." Me?" said the middle-aged man named Da Nian.

"Anyway, there is still time for this journey, so you can just teach me something, and I can explain clearly when people ask." Er Bao said.

"Hei, what you said is really good. Although I'm from the same village, why should I help you?" Danian asked.

"As long as you help me, Uncle Da Nian, wouldn't it be okay for me to take care of you in the future?" Er Bao said.

"Stinky boy, you are cursing me to death. I have a son and still use you, but it is safe to accept you as an apprentice. That's it, let's go to Guangzhou together for a good future." Danian thought After thinking about it, he said.

The migrant workers in Duanzhou responded one after another when they got the news. Since Yuanshan came to him, Feng An didn't wake up naturally. He was so tired that he didn't even want to eat, and he lost a lot of weight.

As soon as he closed his eyelids and was about to take a nap, someone outside immediately came to report the matter.

"Lord Inspector, more than 300 people have come to work in Duanzhou, and there is not enough housing. Please think of a way."

Feng An didn't look energetic, he was simply mentally weak, and almost ran away when someone disturbed him.

"I know about this, you go down." Feng An still said, and then he stood up, he had to look for Yuan Shan, if he went on like this, he would go crazy even if he wasn't exhausted.

The walled city is very close to the shore, a sea breeze just blows in, and the temperature difference between day and night is very large. At this moment, Feng An feels a chill in his ears, and he feels as if he is ten years older when doing things with Yuan Shan.

"Inspector Feng, are you here to see our Lord Marquis?" Caiyi chatted when they met at the door.

"Girl in Caiyi, please let me know that I have something to do with Yuan Pushe." Feng An was embarrassed.

"Your complexion is not very good." Caiyi asked.

"It's okay, maybe I've been a little tired recently." Feng An said casually.

"Okay, Governor Feng will treat the living room with tea first, and then I will call Hou Ye. By the way, the black chicken balls produced by Yuan's family are not bad. They are very helpful for replenishing energy and blood. After you have worked so hard, eating some will restore your complexion. Chang'an City One grain costs 150 Wen, Lingnan is slightly more expensive at [-] Wen per grain, and the newly opened Yuanjia store in the port sells it." Cai Yi took Feng An to the living room, and the wooden attic was considered a part of the Walled City. A better house.

The place is not too big, Caiyi can hear Yuan Shan in the attic talking to people.

"Qianyu, you see, this Caiyi is really good at doing business more and more. The advertisement of this product has hit the assassin's head. Why didn't I find out that she is a sales talent before." Yuan Shan said casually.

"What's more, isn't this the reason that those who are close to the vermilion are red and those who are close to the ink are black? If you stay by your husband's side, even a fool can become a big shopkeeper." Du Qianyu said immediately.

"Hey, are you jealous, or are you arguing?" Yuan Shanxin said.

He didn't think so in his heart, but he said: "Yeah, my family's General Du is also very good at doing business now. For marine merchants, Wanjinyou is really a good thing. Write a letter back to Chang'an, and let the workshop prepare some shipments." Come to the south to sell."

"You don't have to worry about it, Husband. Qian Yu has already taken care of these things. It's not just Wanjinyou who will come to deliver the goods after a while." Du Qianyu said.

"Huh? Cangzhou, why don't I know about this?" Yuan Shan wondered.

"Of course my husband doesn't know. Although the Cangzhou is now in business with Fusang, Silla and other places, the regular sales performance needs to be digested, and we can't just focus on overseas business transactions. The adults are all coming to Lingnan. Can the Cangzhou not come? , This is the plan made last year, oh, it's the meaning of Sister Dugu, who wants to expand the business of the Yuan family to the entire coastal city." Du Qianyu said.

While the two were chatting, Caiyi came over.

Hearing what Feng An said about the matter, he said: "There are a lot of people in Duanzhou who intend to come here to work. Why don't you send someone to make statistics and then respond in batches, so that we can arrange accommodation and other issues here. As for the money Leave the problem to the official, and you can rest assured that you can find someone boldly."

Whether it's true or not, Feng An was very skeptical, but he said that he didn't need to worry about money, why would he bother himself, so he responded: "Okay, the next official will take care of it."

"However, I still want to know why Yuan Pushe has such confidence. Even if the Ministry of Economic Development has money, it takes a lot of money to build a city. Will His Majesty allocate funds?" Feng An continued.

"The outstanding people in Lingnan still have to rely on themselves. The Ministry of Household Affairs will not give money to build a house in Lingnan." Yuan Shan said.

"Then..." Feng An was puzzled.

"I have a plan to build a project here that can make Lingnan develop - Yantian." Yuan Shan said.

"Yantian?" Feng An was even more puzzled.

"But we don't have a salt mine here." Feng An said.

"I'm referring to making sea salt. By the way, you can write a memorial to His Majesty right now, so that the exchange of information can save some time. The matter of making sea salt needs to be kept secret. It is best to let His Majesty send some troops over. In the future, Lingnan Port Here we are counting on the development of the Yantian project, within three years I will definitely make great changes in Lingnan." Yuan Shan said.

Feng An was very excited when he heard it, and his fatigue was relieved a lot, but he was also worried in his heart, but it didn't matter that writing the memorial was what Yuan Shan said anyway, and when Yantian really succeeded, it would be a great achievement, and who knows if his son will be there. Chang'an can be promoted.

When he thought about it, his son had been in Chang'an for several years, and he missed him very much. He had paid a lot for the position of Lingnan governor.

"The selection of land and manpower requires careful selection, especially the manpower must be trustworthy." Yuan Shan said.

"I'll do it right now," Feng An said.

"Feng Cishi, you don't look very good. If you need to rest more, you can't finish your work. It's the same if you do it tomorrow." Yuan Shan said.
