Chapter 69: The City
"I didn't expect that Sister Kyaukjiao would commit suicide by taking medicine!" The two of them walked out of the courtyard, and Lu Xiang said worriedly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Lu Xiang's mother is the niece and nephew of the Queen Mother Liu, and she has naturally been familiar with the nobles of the capital since she was a child.
"I met Sister Jiaojiao three years ago, she is really a bright moon-like character, her heart is very calm, not like a person who will commit suicide." Han Qing couldn't think of it, she helped Xu Jin and Xiao Jiaojiao escape a death catastrophe, but something like this happened.
"This matter must have been completely blocked, if it weren't for the two of us boldly eavesdropping today, we wouldn't know a little bit of news." Lu Xiang took Han Qing's hand and walked towards the courtyard where she lived.
"Now that Grandpa Chu is out of the house, the prince said that he would go to Tianyimen to find the master to ask for the antidote, and I don't know if Tianyimen is good to find, and whether Sister Jiaojiao can get better." Han Qing muttered all the way, but the idea of going to Tianyi Gate with him arose.
When she went out this time, she had already encountered a bottleneck in her practice, and now she heard that Chu Yuan was going to the Immortal Cultivation Sect, wouldn't this be a good time to practice.
"Second sister-in-law, when will the ocean-going fleet start?"
"I heard that the day after tomorrow is an auspicious day, first along the south, and then to the west, invited a few foreign businessmen as guides, this trip is expected to take more than a year. However, the sea is unpredictable, and this is the first time that we have sailed with a big ship built by ourselves, and the time cannot be said too accurately. ”
Han Qing saw that Lu Xiang had retreated from his youthful appearance, and when he talked about the affairs of the fleet, he temporarily put aside his worries and teased, "After the second sister-in-law got married, she became more and more capable, I think it is more than enough to be a female Zhuge next to my second brother." ”
Lu Xiang didn't spare her, "The third sister hasn't grown up at all, she is still playing around in men's clothes when she is so old, she must have tossed her grandfather and grandmother at home to death, so she agreed to bring you here." ”
"I haven't grown. Besides, who said that I went out to play, the fleet of the Far West Trading Company went to sea for the first time, this is a grand event that can be recorded in the history of Daqi, and I am here to witness history! ”
"You're going to find a reason! However, after coming to Songjiang Mansion for more than a year, I see that this company is really different from the trading houses we have seen in the past, and every time I see that huge sea ship, I can't help but feel my heart pounding. It's a great thing to be right. ”
"The second sister-in-law can think like this, I don't know how happy I am, my second sister and I are afraid that the second brother will not be able to participate in the Spring Festival this year, and you will have some regrets in your heart."
"What kind of character is your second brother, just don't participate in the imperial examination, it's not like you can get a top three in the exam casually. What does it matter when you go to Chunfu? Speaking of her husband, Lu Xiang showed a look of a fan, and in her heart, Xie Yan was omnipotent.
"Sister Xiang, I wonder who cried and shouted not to marry back then, it's only been more than a year now, and your attitude has changed too completely, right?" Seeing the dog food, Han Qing wanted to poke it, but he didn't know if it was a disease in his previous life, and his mentality was a little unbalanced.
"You little girl, you're really more annoying than me!"
The two talked all the way and went to Lu Xiang's courtyard for dinner, and only after the next person cleaned up the residence did Han Qing go back to the room.
On the second day, Mama Chen and Zhou Lai led their four-year-old son Zhou Quan, and visited him with He You, the prefect of Songjiang, and his wife Zhou.
At first glance, seeing Han Qing, who was dressed like a splendid son, Mama Chen was pleasantly surprised, "Why did the girl come to Songjiang Mansion with her, Mama hasn't seen you for a long time, and I just want you to be tight." ”
Han Qing said sweetly, "Mama is missing me, won't I come?" It can be seen that we both have a good heart. Turning his head and looking at the little meat ball standing on the ground, "I haven't seen you for a year, Ah Quan still knows my sister, it doesn't matter if you don't know it, but you know this lollipop?" ”
Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads and laugh when they saw Han Qing take out a candy from her sleeve, laughing at her for being a child, and actually walking around with a piece of candy with her. As everyone knows, Han Qing took a lollipop from the space, if he put the candy in his sleeve, it would be sticky!
Zhou Quan's eyes lit up, although he didn't speak very well, he could barely say "Quan'er recognizes, sister, lollipop!" "I don't know if he recognizes his sister or if he recognizes the lollipop.
"Third girl, don't you dare to give him candy anymore, his teeth are crying out for pain all day long." The Zhou family loves his younger brother's only son more than anyone else, and he can see that he is heavier than the children who are not around.
"Mrs. He, don't worry, this sugar is just borrowing a layer of sweetness on the outside, but in fact, the inside is lotus seed puree, not sweet." Han Qing comforted softly.
Zhou looked at Han Qing becoming more and more rare, she knew that her husband could come to Jiangnan to be the prefect, all thanks to Han Qing's blessings, in the past few years, the family has become closer and closer to the Xie family, and she remembers Han Qing's love in her heart. So he said, "The third girl finally came to Songjiang Mansion, why don't you take you around this afternoon?" ”
Han Qing knew that her grandfather and brothers must have a lot of things to do today, and the second sister-in-law was a young daughter-in-law, so it was a little frivolous to lead her to the street to play alone. If Mrs. He and Mama Chen led it, wouldn't it be right. So I got my grandfather's approval, and I readily agreed.
In the afternoon, Han Qing followed Mrs. He, Mama Chen and her second sister-in-law out. Songjiang Mansion is not as big as Hangzhou, but there are many shops of imported goods, all of which are located on both sides of the crowded and narrow streets. In recent years, the imperial court has overhauled the cement official road, which has sharply accelerated the circulation of goods, and the goods in Songjiang Mansion have gone much faster, and most of the people in the city are businessmen who do business.
Zhou led a few people to deliberately pick some higher-grade shops to stroll, and Han Qing asked as she walked, "Second sister-in-law, where are we going to watch the big ship go to sea tomorrow?" I look at the small area of this Songjiang Mansion. ”
"Songjiang Fucheng is not big, out of Fucheng to the east is the mouth of the sea, the shipyard is built very close to the port, we will leave early tomorrow, more than half an hour to arrive. It's sparsely populated over there, but there are also fishermen. ”
"I see." Han Qing nodded, looking at the bustling merchants on the street, and then thinking that in the future, when shipping is developed, businessmen from all over the world will gather here, how to operate freely at that time.
Even if she said that she wouldn't buy it, Han Qing still bought a truckload of things, and they were all kept and given away. After strolling around all afternoon, I went back to Xie Yan's house before dinner.
Han Qing washed up and went to the study, where the men were still discussing the fleet. Han Qing's ears were very good, and he heard Chu Yuan say from afar, "Tomorrow, Zicheng and I will take people to board the boat together, and when we arrive at Wenzhou Mansion, we will change the boat and take Longhu Mountain." ”
Han Qing's heart skipped two beats, and he made up his mind to sneak on the big boat tomorrow to hide, and come out when he was about to arrive at Wenzhou Mansion, and then Chu Yuan would have to take him to Tianyimen.
She stabilized her mind, approached the study, and said in a loud voice, "His Royal Highness the Prince, A-Qing has something to do." ”
When I heard a shout "enter" inside, I pushed the door in.
Xie Hengwen asked, "Aqing, but you have something to say?" ”
Han Qing looked at the people in the room, except for a few elder brothers, who were the crown prince and He Zhifu, there were no outsiders. Then he said happily, "Aqing went to the street today and saw a cloud of merchants on the street, but the path of Fucheng Street was narrow and crowded. Ah Qing thought, in the future, our fleet of Daqi will grow day by day, merchant ships from all over the country will gather here, and merchants from all over the country will buy and sell here, how can Songjiang Mansion operate? ”
A few words stunned everyone, He Zhifu said, "The infrastructure of a government is often built by the amount of taxes, and Songjiang Mansion is not financially abundant now, and when the businessmen are really as the third girl said, they will come to the government to buy land and build houses." ”
Han Qing shook his head and said, "What Lord He said is not in line with the current Songjiang Mansion, the fleet is about to go to sea, this huge business opportunity has spread all over the country, and when people build their own houses, not only is the time tight, but the municipal planning is not satisfactory." If the Far West Trading Company can set up a real estate development department, the company will contribute a part of the capital, and then call the businessmen who want to buy property here, and pay a deposit in advance to subscribe to the house shop, so that it is enough to build a batch first, and so on, and then build the second and third phases, why do you need the government's tax contribution? ”
Xie Yan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't know what he had been worried about for more than a year, and now he wanted him to add money to build a house, "Ah Qing, you are not allowed to harm your second brother, I have more things to do now, and I don't have money to build a house!" ”
Han Qing said angrily, "How can I harm you, don't you need money to build a big ship in your company, if you build a house or sell or rent it, the profit will be more than several times that of a hand, and how many big ships can be built, and if you build a metropolis for Songjiang Port, the trade tax in a few years will be thousands of times greater, and then you can be subsidized some." ”
Chu Yuan turned around in his heart, and realized that this method was simply a money-rolling money, "Aqing, tell me carefully, how do you do it?" ”
Han Qing took a long piece of paper, sketched on the paper, and planned the deserted places close to the river and sea one by one along the topography of Songjiang Mansion, only the streets were reserved for several times the width of the normal one, not only divided into left and right lanes, but also sidewalks, drainage pipes were extremely developed, ports, warehouses, commercial areas, office areas, rich areas, residential areas, education, medical care, parks, and entertainment venues were simply the first to create urban planning in Daqi.
Han Qing nodded a few streets of the shops and the houses in the rich area, "Build from here first, take the development blueprint and model house, and show it to those businessmen who want to buy a house in Songjiang Mansion, I don't believe they are not tempted!" The shops just need to be built tall, such an advanced urban planning, it is difficult to find a house in the future! ”
Xie Heng looked at the sketch and laughed, "Ah Qing's little head turns so fast, and he came up with the blueprint of such a big city after shopping, which is worthy of being my granddaughter!" ”
"My grandfather is not busy praising me, and my grandfather will pay for our sisters to buy those prosperous shops. Second brother, don't sell it to others! ”
Xie Heng smiled and said, "Buy, buy, buy, whatever Aqing wants, grandfather will buy it!" ”
Chu Yuan also doted on the side, "Ah Qing, don't worry, I will buy you a few places at my own expense, and I will leave them for you as a dowry in the future." ”
The boys in the room were all fascinated by the blueprint of this big city, and they also grabbed Xie Yan and said, "Yanzhi, we will come first and get it, and then the silver will be sent by the family. ”
Xie Yan was very excited, this was just a drawing, and the silver was delivered to the door by himself, he seemed to be able to see the second batch of big ships sailing, no matter how difficult this project is, it has to be done!
