Taipingchun

The sun was still red, and Jiangning County was right in front of him. The county government's old horse was already overwhelmed, so Xu Xiu had no choice but to lead it for a walk.This time, he did not enter the city through the north gate, but detoured through the south gate. This is where he needs to plan his next step.Maybe he doesn't have much experience in governing, but experience is accumulated, and knowledge is his wealth.

When the Jiangning Chamber of Commerce announced its birth last night, although his eyes had already seen the sea, it was impossible to ignore the immediate task.Seeing one step at a time is a mortal, seeing three steps at a time is a wise person.As for watching six or seven* moves before moving, that is playing Go.

Someone was waiting for him at the south gate, Xu Xiu saw his figure as soon as he entered the gate, but there was no one else.The well-dressed man with a powdery face is indeed dazzling.Jiang Shanqing was there.

He was surprised and said, "Your Excellency was robbed?"

Because of the disheveled hair, Xu Xiu waved her hand and said, "Find a place to chat."

Due to the power of the west gate, the wealth of the east gate, and the south gate, it seems a bit lonely. There are not many shops here, not many houses, only a small and sparse market. But here is the most practical place for ordinary people to shop.

When folks from various villages outside Jiangning County enter the city, they rarely come here to set up a stall to purchase. To be clear, the east gate is a gathering place for rich households, the west gate is a place for city people to go shopping, and the south gate is a place for Xialiba people. Most of them are barter places, so as to avoid those annoying taxes.

Since Xu Xiu took over Jiangning, he has strictly managed this place. There are no more arbitrary charges, no more dirty and disgusting environment. Although the environment has not improved much due to the actual situation, it is real. It provides convenience for the common people.Of course, the case is decided by the public, if there is no management of Nancheng, how can the common people really be convinced.

The two found a tea stall, and Xu Xiu saw that he didn't look too disgusted, so she nodded secretly, this is the appearance of a person engaged in engineering, although it doesn't match his appearance.

Xu Xiudao: "This place will be another prosperous place after Ximen in the future."

Jiang Shanqing sized it up and said, "How does your lord want to rebuild it?"

"This needs to be operated by you, and the county doesn't know how to build it." Xu Xiu said as a matter of course: "It's called a special zone. But the actual plan needs to be discussed with everyone in the Chamber of Commerce. At least without this market, ordinary people go to Where to go to the market is a problem, so before you decide, you can also use your brains to think about it together, don't let us give you ideas and then do it, it won't work."

Jiang Shanqing nodded and said: "It should be, but where does the money come from? These days, I have been clearing dangerous bridges and dredging channels, spending money like running water, and the money of the county government is almost spent."

Xu Xiu waved her hand and said, "The money issue is not something you need to worry about."

Compared to a bridge made of stone and a lot of manpower to dredge the canal, the cost of building a wooden house is much less, so Xu Xiu is not in a hurry.

It’s a big deal to attract investment, I’ll give you a policy, you can cover the facade yourself, that’s it, I’ve never eaten pork, I’ve seen pigs running, Xu Xiu, who comes from the age of information explosion, has been stationed in the library for a long time, various newspapers and libraries There are a lot of them, and if you want to see what you have, you will naturally understand it.

Xu Xiu said to him: "In my opinion, the environment is the first. If there is a difference between here and Ximen, the best thing is the environment. There are various open and dark ditches. Make sure that there is no water on the road, and there is no dust on hot days. The cost of bluestone slabs is high, but don’t be stingy, after it is completed, it will not be a problem to earn back.”

"My lord, what do you want to make this place?" Jiang Shanqing asked curiously.

Xu Xiu stood up, pointed out through the window on the second floor and said with a smile: "This is not necessarily a place where customers come to buy things. You don't need many customers, otherwise Ximen will be lonely, and it will not be a good thing for the county. Every chess game in Jiangning has to be considered. Because this is mainly a trading area for bulk goods, big businessmen who come from south to north, I hope they can leave a store in Jiangning, which will be of great benefit to Jiangning County. There must be enough warehouses here, and roads wide enough for those big carriages to enter and exit. The river outside the city gate must also be led to the south gate, so that the boats are close to the city gate, five miles, no, five miles It’s too close, and the appearance of Shili is almost the same. In addition, the larger the scale of the South Gate, the larger the space it will need in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to make reservations and plan some parts outside the city. It is the general trend to place warehouses outside the city.”

In short, Xu Xiu wants to turn this place into a Ming Dynasty version of the bulk trade zone.

Xu Xiu still has time. He has only been in office for more than half a year in Jiangning, and there are still two and a half years left if he is fully prepared. He may even not be transferred after the expiration, which will be another term.Such a long time is enough for him to build Jiangning Business well. As for whether anyone will come to pick peaches, he can only take a step to see.

Jiang Shanqing was a little confused, many things could not be expressed clearly by simple words, said: "Your Excellency seems to have a big conspiracy."

Xu Xiu didn't answer directly, and said: "Jiangning County has a very good geography, with dense waterways. It is not far from Jinling, and it is convenient to go south to Suzhou and Hangzhou. It stands to reason that Jiangning's achievements will never be low. In the final analysis, I am still afraid of offending people. If you are afraid of doing things, you can do well if you don’t do them. But this county has nothing to be afraid of, if you don’t do things, I will be finished.”

Ask yourself, if Xu Xiu lives like the light, it will be nothing. If the soul travels hundreds of years ago, if it is just a relationship, it will seem petty. After all, he is a man, how can he not do something big? heart.

Jiang Shanqing had all the pictures of mountains, rivers and rivers in his chest, so he naturally knew what Xu Xiu said was true, and agreed, "This is a treasured place."

"Yes. Therefore, the embankments must be correct, the dangerous bridges must be repaired, and the canals must be dredged to ensure that there are no problems. The Yangtze River is ruthless, and a flood will cause great losses. You have to be careful."

Jiang Shanqing nodded and said: "Don't worry, my lord, compared to the title of the four great talents in Jiangbei, I prefer to do these things."

Xu Xiu thought in his heart, if this person can become an official of the Ministry of Industry in the future, wouldn't it be of great help to him, and said: "There must be a test for fame, you have a great talent, and your one has already entered Hanlin, the north and the south are separated by thousands of miles, don’t you miss him? It is the right way to meet him as soon as possible. Moreover, the construction of the world belongs to the Ministry of Industry. If you will be the person in charge of the Ministry of Industry in the future, wouldn’t it be in line with your own ambitions? "

Jiang Shanqing thought for a long time before she nodded shyly and said: "Well, what your lord said is very true. But you still have to do the things in front of you first, don't you?"

"Ha, it looks like it's my fault. In the future, Brother Bo Shi, don't blame me for making you two separate for a long time."

"How come."

"Then I'll go first."

"My lord, let's go first, and I will observe the landform here."

"good."

……

Non-stop, the last twelve hours seemed to be spinning continuously, Xu Xiu didn't seem to touch the ground, the water didn't touch the lips, and even her little friends were complaining, but everyone knew that this string must be tightened at this time, but No complaints either.The various letters start from Jiangning as the center, connect with Jinling Huguang at the top, and connect with Susong and Shanghai at the bottom, which can be described as orderly.

However, there is a time gap in the end, and Xu Xiu will certainly not let it go, there are still many things he can do.

When everyone gathered together again, except for the wrong location, the people were still the twelve shopkeepers, only seven or eight hours passed.

The Jiangning county government office was a bit small, and Xu Xiu didn't want to be placed in the trial hall, so they had to be squeezed together.

Everyone huddled together, but no one dared to give Xu Xiu any face. Now that all his wealth was placed on Jiangning County, let alone huddling, even sitting on the ground, no one would frown.

There was some sweat on Xu Xiu's forehead, and he wiped it briefly and said, "Shopkeeper Wang, please tell us about the food situation in Huguang."

Wang Chen, the top manager of the Jiangning Trading Company, mainly paid out a lot of money. He said boldly last night: "All the money buried in the cellar has been paid out."

He nodded and said, "Huguang's food has already been arranged, but the family members told us that at most [-] shi will go south soon."

Everyone is an expert, simple arithmetic is nothing at all, and quickly calculated the general situation in their hearts, a shopkeeper surnamed Xiao worried: "Twenty thousand shi, there are only four large ships with a thousand materials, I am afraid that by then As soon as we released the grain, Zou Wang bought it after turning around, wouldn't it be in vain."

Xu Xiu was also a little disappointed, [-] shi, or [-] tons, was thrown in the market in Jiangning, and there would be no splash.Said: "Is there only [-] stones in Huguang?"

Wang Chen was embarrassed and said: "My brother personally agreed, but the time is short, and [-] stone is the limit."

Seeing that the other eleven shopkeepers were talking a lot, Xu Xiu's head was a little blank, and she didn't care about what these people said.

At present, only [-] stones are already a certain factor, how to maximize the use of these [-] stones is the core of the problem.

After regaining her senses, Xu Xiu suppressed everyone's discussion and said, "I've already figured out the food issue, so let's not talk about him now. Come on, everyone, tell me what you think about Nanmen."

What else is there to say at the south gate, a shopkeeper said: "Your Excellency is confused, even if our shop opens, the villagers will not come to buy it."

Everyone thought that Xu Xiu wanted to open the shop to the south gate, so it was the same argument. To be honest, Xu Xiu was a little disappointed. Although these people were a bit courageous, their level was still poor. No wonder they could only be small merchants in Jiangning County , not on the table.

But there was a young man surnamed Xue who only heard him say: "Your Excellency must have his own opinion when he says this. I might as well listen to what you say."

Xu Xiu nodded, she had good eyesight, and said: "The south gate is where your future wealth will be, and the wealth and honor of the third generation depends entirely on the south gate."

He only listened to his slow narration, and in a short while, he clearly informed the construction intention of the entire South Gate, but many new terms confused everyone. As soon as he finished speaking, the shopkeeper asked: "My lord, According to what you said, if the South Gate becomes a distribution center for various bulk items, we can directly trade on that exchange? And then cut the goods?"

Xu Xiu coughed and said, "It may not be possible for the whole country to preside over this exchange and sell it on the market, but Jiangning County will have a guide price for mobile goods in the southeast. Jiangning County will charge a certain lijin for bidding and bidding. The site, the warehouse, and the safety of Jiangning County."

In terms of business, the biggest difference between ancient and modern times is the asymmetry of information. The price of silk in Jiangning is fundamentally different from that in Su Song. A large number of goods are gathered in Jiangning, and there is a reference price, and we only need to pay a certain fee for entering and leaving Jiangning to complete the transaction, which greatly reduces the intermediate links, which is good.

Xu Xiudao: "Businessmen make profits and earn money. The county collects taxes to enrich the national treasury. Everyone gets what they need. Do you have any questions about the potential of the South Gate?"

"good."

Finally Xu Xiu said: "You are all businessmen, and this county is not very good at doing business. Maybe one or two small ideas can play a role, but in the final analysis, you should do more. It is best to send someone you can trust. Reliable people communicate with Jiang Shanqing, the scribe of the county workshop, and make suggestions for the development of Nanmen."

"Yes Yes Yes."

Just as Xu Xiu got up, he said again: "If you don't keep secrets, you will lose your ministers, and if your ministers don't keep secrets, you will lose. Remember, you must choose reliable candidates, have you ever remembered?"

When she got their accurate reply again, Xu Xiu got up and left, because the current problem had not been resolved yet.
