Chapter 80
The area of the wharf is quite flat, especially because it has been roughly cleaned up in the past because of the convenience of work and the construction of sheds when digging the canal. Therefore, our Pei family will also send someone to find out this time, and I am the most suitable for my family. ”
Although the good country is not closed to the outside world, it is very strict in the management of maritime transportation, and it is not really open for trade and business.
"I see, the two of you can take care of each other when you are on the road at the same time, so it's a good thing."
Shen Baili looked very happy, "Isn't it, we have made an appointment, this time we will go to sea to find some new things as a dowry, and we will get married at the same time as soon as we come back." ”
Pei Qingyun tugged at the corners of his mouth, but he didn't say anything.
Chang Xi felt very awkward to see him look like this, but Shen Baili looked like he didn't know anything, which made him suspect that he was thinking too much.
"Brother Shen, is there a mistake in the inn drawings you gave me? It's just a small pier, so why be so cautious. And there will not be many people moving in, it is too luxurious to make it like this, and it will be earned back in the Year of the Monkey. ”
Shen Baili smiled: "I knew you would react like this, so I came over to explain to you in person." ”
It turned out that the Shen family not only regarded this as an inn, but also as a transit station for goods.
The location is a fork in the canal, from which you can go in different directions. At first, the Shen family didn't pay much attention to this place, but with the navigation of the canals everywhere, when they opened the map, they found the wonders of this place. It is very close to the fork roads, and it is the most suitable place for transit.
It is more convenient and faster to transport goods to this place by large ships, and then dispatch small boats from various places to various places.
That's why the Shen family thought of building such a sturdy behemoth, which could not only store goods well, but as long as the door was closed, they could avoid being robbed by the young people, and they could also use it to make a name for the Shen family. Therefore, this stone building was deliberately built to be very eye-catching and tall, making it a major feature.
Chang Xile squinted, "I just said that it was an inn, why did it become a warehouse, why didn't you tell me before?" ”
Shen Baili smirked, "Anyway, we didn't occupy more of your land, did we?" Besides, when the time comes, the transportation of goods, guards, etc., will all need manpower, I guarantee that except for our Shen family's guys, everyone else will only recruit you people from Taoyuan Village, and the wages are not low, how about it? ”
Chang Xile didn't know that he was taken advantage of by Shen Baili again, and more functions were a series of follow-ups, and it was not as simple as it was said. However, this is also a win-win situation, so Chang Xile still likes to see it, but he can't even hide it from Shen Baili.
"I treat you as a brother, but you hide it from me, it's not interesting enough, right?"
Shen Baili was very ashamed, "I really didn't mean to, you also know that I went to the capital for more than half a year before, and when I came back, this was what the family gave me." ”
"Hmph, even then you're not innocent."
Shen Baili apologized again and again, Chang Xile didn't want to embarrass him, but said: "Don't do this again in the future, and we have to sign another contract, I can't be cheated by you in vain, I'm not used to your problem." ”
"Alright, alright, you can say anything. It's true that I'm not doing it right, so if I can find something you painted on my trip to sea, I won't take a penny, how about it? ”
This is a big advantage, and Chang Xile naturally has nothing to do.
There is also the construction of the Shen Family Inn on the commercial street, which requires a large number of manpower, especially the Shen Family Inn.
They wanted to build faster, so they needed more people. It also created employment opportunities for Taoyuan Village, but now Taoyuan Village does not have so many rich laborers, so it is selected from other friendly neighboring villages.
Now not only Taoyuan Village, but also nearby villages have benefited from Chang Xile, so they have great respect for Chang Xile. Chang Xile's status in other villages is no less than that in Taoyuan Village, and even because of the distance, he feels unattainable.
