With the arrival of a cold air, Chang'an City immediately entered the winter mode.

After nearly a month of tidying up, Chang'an City has slowly recovered from the effects of the floods.

The eastern and western cities and trading centers are all busy scenes.

Even because the construction of the yamen in the workshop city was fully started, Li Shimin's palace was also determined to be built in the workshop city, and the workshops in Chang'an City immediately resumed their former busyness.

"Shopkeeper Lao, today's carriage is a bit insufficient, and now the transportation task is so busy, it may be necessary to continue to purchase dozens of four-wheeled transport carriages."

Jing Mu stood beside Lao Hansan and reported on today's situation.

As a spy arranged by the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Wangfu to the Lao Niu Transport Team, Jing Mu is now deeply trusted by Lao Hansan and has become a person in charge of the Lao Niu Transport Team.

"Then buy it! The imperial court agreed to the construction of several concrete roads in one go, and also prepared to widen the Weishui River, and the number of occasions for horse-drawn carriage transportation increased a lot, and we had nothing to worry about if we bought a few more. ”

Throughout the sixteen years of Zhenguan, Lao Hansan was spent in a busy situation.

It's a great business!

A lot of orders, lying down and coming.

"In addition, there are a lot more guests going to the workshop city during this time, and I think we can also set up a public carriage route from Chang'an City to the workshop city. Although the public carriage does not make much money, but the income is very stable, we can let more people know about the labor cattle transport team through the expansion of the public carriage route. ”

Jing Mu naturally hopes that the tentacles of the Lao Niu Transport Team can reach more places in Chang'an City.

In particular, the four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage business and the public horse-drawn carriage business, which are similar to taxis, can gather a lot of information.

Today, Jing Mu has developed dozens of informants in the Lao Niu Transport Team, and he can receive all kinds of news every day.

A lot of the news looks very scattered, but after sorting and analyzing, it is often possible to reach unexpected conclusions.

"Yes, I originally wanted to set up a semicolon in the workshop city, and now I can build it into a transit station for the labor cattle transport team, where all the carriages of our convoy can rest and repair."

The workshop city is now the hottest development area of Datang, and it is likely to be the political, economic and cultural center of Datang in the future.

"Then why don't you just wait a minute, and I'll accompany you to the Mercedes-Benz four-wheeled carriage workshop with the shopkeeper?"

"Okay, let's go."

……

In the Chai Mansion, Chai Lingwu was a little entangled in discussing things with Chai Zhewei.

"Big brother, I asked people to calculate, if our family's land outside Yanping Gate is to be built into a state like Workshop City, it will cost at least twice as much money. Unless house prices continue to rise by then, we will be working almost in vain. ”

When the sales of the new building in Guiyifang were booming, Chai Lingwu bought more than 2,000 acres of land outside Yanping Gate with a quick eye, and then immediately put it into development.

At present, the foundation has been laid and the ground building is being prepared.

As a result, there was such a heavy rain.

Needless to say, the construction site of the Chai family was naturally completely covered by water.

After finally cleaning it up, it is necessary to reconsider how to build it in the future.

Just to the preferences of the people of Chang'an City? When it's time to come and see the property? Definitely think about how exactly the construction of the sewers will be.

"I don't make much money, but I don't lose money. But if you don't build a sewer like in Workshop City, you won't be able to sell a single house by then? What's the point? ”

The duck to the beak is about to fly, although Chai Zhewei is a little heartbroken? But I think it's better than regretting it when the time comes.

"That being said, but I arranged for a craftsman to try to dig a section of sewer, and I found out how much work was going on? Bigger than the place. So much dirt to dig up? The amount of money spent is terrifying. ”

Although Chai Lingwu has also realized in his heart, he can only follow the planning of the workshop city to build his own real estate? But I was still a little unwilling in my heart.

This isn't digging a sewer? It's all the Chai family's money.

"We can at least dig here? If you build a few more miles of sewers, you can pass the Weishui River; It's better than Guiyifang, and I don't know how to transform it. I heard that the Wei family, the Du family, and the eldest grandson family, the cooperation between the three of them is about to go on. ”

The Chai family made a lot of money growing cotton in Shuozhou this year, so Chai Zhewei was in a good mood, and he could even find time to make fun of other nobles.

"Hmph, someone from the Wei family went to Workshop City to buy more than 200 houses in one go, such a big deal, no matter how much you hide it, you can't hide it. That Wei Siren thought that he would not be discovered if he used the name of a subordinate, you see, now that it is okay, the Du family and the eldest grandson family are looking for trouble with them. The follow-up construction of Guiyifang is estimated to be difficult. ”

In contrast, Chai Lingwu found that there were people who were more unlucky than himself, and his heart was inexplicably balanced.

"In Chang'an City, it is too difficult to build such a huge underground pipeline like the Workshop City. In my opinion, if we want to continue building houses in the future, it is better to buy land near the workshop town, and the probability of success is much higher. ”

Chai Zhewei also slowly recalled, only by following the pace of the Chu Wangfu can he earn money.

Otherwise, it's good to work hard and not lose money.

"Big brother, it's a little late. I heard that the Gu family in Jiangnan Province bought 20,000 acres of land next to the workshop city in one go; The Gu family not only bought the land by themselves, but also took the Lu family, the Chen family, and the Yu family in Jiangnan Province to buy land next to it, and now the good land next to the workshop city is held in the hands of those merchants in Jiangnan Province. ”

Chai Lingwu secretly regretted in his heart, why didn't he strike first.

"Your Majesty has decided to allocate the funds from the treasury to build a palace next to the workshop city, and now Yan Liben has already begun to design the drawings. At that time, His Majesty is likely to deal with political affairs in the palace, and the prosperity of the workshop city cannot be stopped. While it's not too late, let's go around and buy some more land. ”

Buying land was originally a favorite investment for nobles.

Although in the past, everyone bought the best paddy fields, but the wasteland like the workshop town was relatively rare.

But now the situation is different, and the land is not bought for the purpose of growing food, as long as the land is good.

After all, when buying land, the location is the most important.

"Since the eldest brother said so, then I'll inquire in a while to see if I can buy a better piece of land from the county government."

Chai Lingwu did not object again this time.

Facts speak louder than words.

……

There are many interrelated chains in the development of the economy.

Chang'an City is under construction everywhere, and the demand for instant noodles has naturally increased a lot.

In the Uni-President Instant Noodle Workshop, Yu Chi Xiaotian Che was looking at the account data of the last month, with a smile on his face.

"Captain, our current production capacity is insufficient again, and the outside of the workshop is full of four-wheeled transport carriages ready to pick up the goods."

Wei Chi Wanzhi came in from outside with a red face.

As an assistant to Oda Kiri, Takeshi is now in charge of the production of the Unified Instant Noodles Workshop.

Yuchi Noda is in charge of the sale and promotion of instant noodles.

Because the instant noodles have been selling so well recently, Yuchi Noda basically doesn't need to work hard to sell all the instant noodles smoothly.

"Wanzhi, the craftsmen are all working right now?"

Oda Che glanced at Yu Chi Wanji, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Great! Captain, you may be too busy to pay attention, during this time, the houses in Workshop City are about to go crazy, they have risen by more than two percent in just one month, and they are still rising. At the beginning, many craftsmen in our workshop were forced to go to the workshop city to buy a house, and this year because of this incident, we almost made a storm of production shutdown.

Now, the housing prices in Workshop City are not only not falling, but even higher than at the beginning of the year. But anyone who buys a house in Workshop City, no matter when they bought it, must have made money, the difference is only a matter of earning more or less. ”

Wei Chi Wanzhi still remembers the fact that a group of craftsmen were preparing to make trouble and asked to go to the workshop city to check out.

Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, it became these craftsmen, regretting that they didn't buy an extra house in the first place.

It's really unpredictable.

"Since these craftsmen are in good shape, let's delay the work a little longer. The morning shift is from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and the evening shift is from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., we don't waste a minute, and we raise the production capacity again. If it is still not enough, then build another factory on the reserved piece of land next to it, and then introduce a batch of new equipment from the mechanical workshop of Guanshishan Academy to completely double our production capacity. ”

Although Oda Kiri is usually a philanthropist, he pays attention to his reputation.

But that doesn't mean he doesn't take advantage of the craftsmen in the workshop.

In this day and age, working twelve hours a day is not such an exaggeration.

For example, in the cotton cloth workshop of the Cui family next to it, the helpers work from 6 o'clock in the morning to 8 o'clock in the evening.

That is, I am afraid that when I light the candles at night, it is easy to light the cotton cloth, so I dare not start work too late.

Otherwise, they would like to work from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Don't look at Chang'an City, there has always been a tight employment situation, but that is relative.

As long as you get paid enough, you will never feel what a labor shortage is.

Just like in later generations, many cities had to recruit a few ordinary workers, which was really difficult to recruit.

However, when did you see that factories with good welfare benefits such as petrochemical and automobile factories will not be able to recruit people?

"Okay, these backbone craftsmen all feel guilty about the workshop, after all, the captain forced them to buy a house, but they wanted to make trouble in the middle of the year, and now that the house price has risen so much, their hearts must be starting to break. Even if the working hours are extended this time, but the salary is not increased, few people will have an opinion. ”

As the person in charge of the production of the unified instant noodle workshop, Wei Chi Wanzhi still has a very accurate grasp of the psychological state of the on-site employees.

Since it can achieve the goal without spending money, it is natural that it will not cost a penny.

After all, in the workshop, there are also members of his Wei Chi Wanzhi.

……

In the newspaper office of "Chang'an Evening News", Zhu Zhishan wrote the manuscript listlessly.

"As the first workshop to be renovated in Chang'an City, Guiyi Fang has unique conditions. It only takes some modifications to the drainage system to ......"

Although Zhu Zhishan already knew in his heart that Guiyi Fang basically had no future.

There is a high probability that it will become an unfinished area.

However, as a person who has several suites in Guiyifang, Zhu Zhishan still tries his best to help Guiyifang speak as much as he can.

"Brother Zhu, I'm ...... My house, you said that if it falls, it will be yours...... Does it still count? ”

Xu Zhengqing stood in front of Zhu Zhishan and said with a tangled face.

As Zhu Zhishan's fellow countryman, Xu Zhengqing came to the "Chang'an Evening News" like Zhu Zhishan after participating in the imperial examination many times, and became a writer.

However, his status is not as high as Zhu Zhishan, and there is a big gap in income.

In addition, he usually likes to go to Pingkangfang, so he naturally can't save any money.

A few months ago, it was still under Zhu Zhishan's "flickering" that he bought his first house in Guiyifang.

Outcome......

I didn't have a long time to be happy after I bought it, and I encountered bad luck.

"Brother Xu, that's a joke, that's a joke, do you understand?"

Zhu Zhishan put down his pen and yelled with a flushed face.

Xu Zhengqing's question, Zhu Zhishan is not the first time to hear it.

In the past few days, several newspaper employees have come to him one after another, asking him to fulfill his original "promise."

Where does Zhu Zhishan dare to agree?

In order to prove that he had a good vision, he bragged about his views within the newspaper and became one of the few powerful people in the newspaper.

Who knew he would be slapped in the face so soon.

"How can this be a joke? If you hadn't said that the price of the house in Guiyifang would definitely go up, I wouldn't have bought a house there. Don't talk about price increases now...... Brother Zhu, I don't want much extravagance, the original price, I am willing to transfer the house to you at the original price. What do you think? ”

In the face of money, no brotherly love can stand the test.

Seeing Zhu Zhishan denying it, Xu Zhengqing was also a little anxious.

"Not good!"

Zhu Zhishan looked at Xu Zhengqing with a pale face.

It's really a bad year, his own houses have already put all the money he saved in the past few years, where is the money to wipe the butts of others?

Besides, even if you have money, you don't spend it like that.

"But ......"

"No, but! Brother Xu, you are not a three-year-old child, you have your own judgment. Let me ask you, if the house price in Guiyi Fang really rises, will you still be willing to transfer the house to me at the original price? ”

Zhu Zhishan said this, Xu Zhengqing was speechless.

After all, he is a scholar, and his face is relatively thin, although he is unwilling in his heart, he is embarrassed to tear his face.

In the end, Xu Zhengqing left Zhu Zhishan's office and went back to lick his wounds alone.

And some people cry bitterly, and naturally some people laugh.

"Panpan, you said you have earned tens of thousands of dollars this year? Really? ”

Gu Lian, who had just been promoted from the position of the county commander of Jiangdu County in Yangzhou to the county commander of Wannian County, was following Gu Panpan around the workshop city.

Don't look at Gu Lian, both places are single-person county orders, but the level between county orders and county orders is also different.

Just like the mayors of later generations, the mayors of your county-level cities, prefecture-level cities, and provincial capitals are completely different.

The former is at the department level and department level, while the latter is at the deputy ministerial level.

Wannian County, as one of the two counties in Chang'an City, is two levels higher than Jiangdu County.

If it weren't for Li Kuan's help, Gu Lian would not have been able to achieve such a smooth level jump.

"Aya, did you forget? I wrote to you last year that I bought hundreds of houses in Workshop City. Then in the first half of this year, I bought more than 20,000 acres of land around the workshop city. Now that the value of these houses and land is about to double, do you think there are tens of thousands of yuan? ”

Gu Panpan looked at his Aya with a proud face.

Some people earn money, and it's hard work.

But Gu Panpan felt that he was simply the reincarnation of the goddess of wealth, and he could easily earn money by doing anything.

In Li Kuan's words, he has already reached the realm of "counting money until his hands cramp, and sleeping until he wakes up naturally".

"Ayesin has worked hard to manage the family business, and in more than ten years, the Gu family's family property has increased by tens of thousands of yuan. As a result, I hope that you have only been in Chang'an City for two or three years, and the money you have earned is already more than the money you have earned for your father in more than ten years combined. This world has really become unrecognizable. ”

Gu Lian looked at his daughter with emotion.

In addition to being so old and refusing to get married, this is really a perfect little padded jacket.

"Change is eternal, and immutability is unrealistic. Aye, you are now the county magistrate of Wannian County, and you will definitely see a lot of things that are different from Jiangdu. If you want me to say, you must take the time to go to Guanshishan Academy to study and learn about some of the latest theories; At the same time, it is also necessary to visit the various workshops in the workshop town to understand the scale and operation of these workshops. So that you will know what to do in Wannian County. ”

Gu Panpan was naturally very happy that his Aya could come to Chang'an City as an official.

However, she is also very aware of the difficulties of Jingguan.

"That's true, and now I can't read Science magazine at all. I know every word on it, but I don't know what I'm talking about. ”

Gu Lian is also an aspiring official.

He is not yet 40 years old this year, but there is still hope that he will continue to push for higher positions.

The premise is that there must be political achievements and someone must be promoted.

"Actually, being an official in Wannian County is not as difficult as you imagined. If you want to be lazy, it's very simple, as long as you go to the Chu Palace, ask His Royal Highness the King of Chu or Wang Xuance, and follow their advice, there will naturally be no problem. When the time comes, people will be relaxed, but the results will be very good, so why not. ”

"This ...... Wouldn't it be great? ”

When Gu Lian first arrived in Chang'an City, he was not very clear about the situation between the DPRK and China.

In his opinion, if he becomes the "Chu King Party", then it means that he will become an enemy with the King of Wei, who is deeply favored by Li Shimin, and the Lord of the East Palace.

"What's not so good! Aye, you are my daughter, I am you Aye, I can't harm you. ”

Gu Panpan's confidence in Li Kuan is completely blind.

In her opinion, such an excellent person as Wu Meiniang is Li Kuan's side concubine, and Li Kuan is definitely a more skillful character.

"But I heard that because the Chu Wangfu built a workshop city, the houses in Chang'an County and Wannian County in Chang'an City can't afford to sell at a price. Even later, many yamen of the imperial court had to be relocated from Wannian County to the workshop city. Isn't this going to be difficult with me, the county magistrate of Wannian County? ”

"The development prospects of Chang'an City must not be compared with Workshop City. The center of the future Datang will definitely be in the workshop city. However, this does not mean that Wannian County has completely declined and become completely unimportant. If you take advantage of this pain, Aye, you can rectify the style of Wannian County, properly transform the drainage system, and improve the sanitation situation, the scenery and heritage of the ancient city are not comparable to the workshop city. ”

Gu Panpan obviously doesn't think that Chang'an City and Workshop City have a relationship between you and me.

"Think about it again for the sake of the Father! Take a good visit to the workshop city today to see if this city, which has been seen in the "Datang Daily", is as magical as the legend. ”

……

In the annex of the Chu Palace, Li Kuan was very happy to enjoy the sun in early winter.

"Lord Wang, the situation of the workshop city has been completely reversed, and now the construction of the workshop city can be described with each passing day."

Wang Fugui held up his fat belly, and his face was full of red light to introduce Li Kuan to the situation in the workshop city in the last month.

"The prosperity of the workshop city cannot be simply pinned on the sale of houses. Although in the process of building houses, we led to the development of a number of workshops. However, you must know that this house is for living after all, not for speculation. ”

Although Li Kuan has not been to Workshop City recently, it does not mean that he does not know about the situation there.

During this time, many people bought and sold houses in Workshop City, which made all the dental shops happy.

However, Li Kuan felt that his original intention of developing the workshop city was a bit contrary.

You can keep buying a house at the sales office, but don't speculate there.

The income from the rise in housing prices in Workshop City, it is enough for the Chu Wangfu family to stand up and enjoy it.

Don't bother everyone to come and hype.

"Lord Wang, your summary is really in place. The house in Workshop City is for living, not for speculation, I must frame this sentence and post it in the most conspicuous position of the sales office of Workshop City"

Wang Fugui doesn't care what Li Kuan's words mean.

Anyway, whatever Li Kuan says, he just needs to implement it.

This is already the way he has summed up the way of survival.

"Lord Wang, something happened!"

Before Li Kuan could continue to communicate with Wang Fugui about the housing prices in Workshop City, Wang Xuance walked in from outside with a solemn face, and then handed Li Kuan a note.

Obviously, this is the news sent by the flying pigeon.
