Chapter 905: Construction of a Fishing Village
Wei Li had heard about the businessman's investment in the construction of the fishing village for several days, and the entire fishing village was now basically no longer seen as a village.
The location of the wharf is likely to be based on demand or space-saving considerations, and most of the houses near the wharf are made of three-percent pavilions.
What is surprising is that there are several very spacious roads, and it is obvious that they can adapt to the needs of transporting goods, and there are many carriages passing by at the same time without causing congestion.
The section of the road that passes through the pier is followed by a section dedicated to the warehouse area, which is also a wide road, and the other roads leading to the village and town are still normal.
The area covered by the repaired section is currently only on the pier side, and there is also a densely populated area.
The largest building complex of the wharf is not a residential area under construction but a warehouse area, and the original warehouse of the Zheng family accounts for a large part, and the construction area of the warehouse area is directly planned to be expanded by five times after the businessmen come to invest.
Wei Li didn't know that Zheng Derong was a little depressed about the businessman's investment in building a warehouse, and the income from staying in the goods in the future would be divided a lot, and when the warehouse was completed, the storage capacity of the Zheng family's warehouse could only account for about 20%.
The advantage is that the goods transported by sea in the future do not have to worry about the problem of storage, although the income is less, but the Zheng family warehouse can be used for self-storage.
If you do commodity business, it can be regarded as saving costs, and it will not delay the customer's reserves, at least it will not be responsible for storing it in other people's warehouses.
However, even so, Zheng Derong still plans to expand the warehouse when the funds are sufficient.
Wei Li is very interested in the operation of the terminal, and at present, the ships and warehouses are fully stocked, but I don't know how far it will develop in the future.
The construction scale of the 20 docks started at the same time was a little anxious, and after discussion, Weili adjusted the construction sequence, and concentrated all the manpower and material resources for construction under the premise of shortening the construction period.
At the same time, more workers were hired to carry out the construction of dock-related projects, so the whole fishing village began to build roads.
The battle at the dock alarmed not only the city guards who managed this side, but also the forces that had been established here, such as Xiao Mo and Zhang Zhongjian.
After Xiao Mo returned to their station after leaving the Zheng family, he began to start the timber business, and the caravan returning from Chang'an was not to transport timber to Youzhou, but directly back to this side, and the freight volume increased.
Surprisingly, the first batch of timber that had just been shipped back was immediately divided up by the construction team as soon as it arrived in Zhengjia Fishing Village.
After learning about it, I realized that their timber could not meet the current construction needs at all, and many merchants were collecting timber through personal relationships.
Since the largest caravan in Youzhou has been serving the construction projects in Youzhou, the merchants who came to the south had to set up caravans here.
Their scale was several times larger than Xiao Mo's caravan, and after inquiring, they learned that the caravan was built in the name of the United Chamber of Commerce.
After Xiao Mo learned the news, he immediately got in touch with Zhang Zhongjian, and Zhang Zhongjian came after learning the news, and after some discussion, he joined the United Chamber of Commerce.
The caravan that was being built was both invested in their own names, and they had a share of the caravan.
And their cooperative caravans still continue to operate.
Then go to Chang'an to do timber business, their timber will not be transported to Youzhou, so they can trade with great fanfare.
Xiao Mo and Zhang Zhongjian both saw that the caravan they invested in could make money every minute, and they had a relative advantage.
Don't forget that they are not pure merchants, but they have a force that allows their soldiers to go to the woodcuts, and no one dares to care if they meet the locals, which is tantamount to doing business without a foundation.
For a short period of time, the timber business in the south was extremely hot.
When many forces saw it, they began to think about it, and even the two Liang kings who were far away began to transport some timber to Zhengjia Fishing Village for sale.
When building Xixia City, they didn't forget to make money, mainly because they had a lot of timber over there, and they had enough manpower to make money.
Most of the buildings in Xixia City are made of cement masonry, and timber is not used much except for the construction of houses.
In fact, their most common dwellings were made of wood, and the construction of the city walls was limited after the construction of the city began.
In fact, except for the city wall, the palace is the most resource-consuming, and as for the city, it includes the original cottage, and there is no change in it, but the area in the city has become larger.
They even plan to give priority to the sale of some building materials in exchange for money before buying other materials.
This can make more profits, but it will affect the construction progress of Xixia City, and after they considered it, they finally gave up the plan to sell building materials, and they did not have enough cement masonry.
The point is that it is very expensive to transport these things, and the profit is not high, otherwise they will definitely stick to it.
After starting the dock project, Wei Li took the time to go to the Youzhou industrial area.
Situ En is now guarding this side, and the 50,000 vanguard soldiers were very uncomfortable when they were just replaced, and there were many mosquitoes, insects, rats and ants in the mountains and forests.
When I first arrived, I suffered a lot of crimes, and it was not until I opened a mosquito coil workshop here that the situation was relieved.
Now mosquito coils have become the mainstream consumer products here, in addition to mosquito coils and mosquito nets, which are indispensable things for soldiers.
After Situ En's arrival, he was responsible for the management of various industries, which actually played the role of supervision, and specific matters were handled by special responsible persons.
His main task is to protect the safety of this side, although Youzhou has a great reputation, and the soldiers have strong combat effectiveness, but sometimes there are some people who are not afraid of death to come over and launch a surprise attack, the purpose is to snatch the resources here.
Especially for the cultivated land, Situ En and the local tribal leaders have not made much progress after many negotiations, and the punishment of theft has become more and more severe.
Wei Li has been here for a long time, and he has long known the situation here, but there is no way, after all, their appearance will somewhat conflict with the living habits of the local tribesmen.
Most of the patriarchs who can communicate will benefit from this, and it is useless to say what doesn't make sense.
"Situ En, are you still used to it here?"
"Fortunately, when I first came, I was a little unaccustomed to the water and soil, especially the adaptation to the environment for a long time, but the four seasons like spring also have their advantages."
"It won't take you two years to be able to go back to Youzhou to report on your work, and then you won't be able to experience the feeling of spring all year round."
The duration of the garrison is fixed, and the maximum duration of the garrison will not exceed five years, usually three years.
No matter what position there is, the rules are the rules, no one can break the rules, and the main purpose of changing the guard is very direct, that is, I am afraid that the generals will support the troops and respect themselves, and when the time limit comes, not only the generals will be changed, but even the soldiers will have to change the guard regularly.
