Li An wants to build a port on a large scale, this idea naturally can't be hidden from his subordinates, and even, he has to take out his own construction plan and let his subordinates put forward their opinions, and there are many things that need to be done by these subordinates, and the subordinates also need the people below to share, so the news of the construction of the seaport, the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses all know, and even the guys who cook are clear.

When he was in West Tianzhu Port, Li An's preliminary construction plan had already been revealed, and the subordinates below couldn't help it, and revealed the news step by step, so that the merchants in West Tianzhu Port knew the news.

Of course, businessmen can't just listen to the plan and think that this is a business opportunity, they must be sure of the facts, dare to invest, dare to make money.

Therefore, when Li An set off from the port of West Tianzhu, some merchants followed, although they could not catch up with the Tang fleet, they knew the location of the port, and they would have arrived later.

The purpose of their visit to the port, in addition to verifying the construction problem, is also to see if the pirates have really been beaten away, whether they will make a comeback, and whether Datang will continue to operate in the port.

Many days have passed, and they have seen what Datang soldiers and horses have done, and they also know very well the materials needed for Datang to build a seaport, especially the materials that cannot be solved.

So many soldiers and horses, the need for food and drink is a relatively large number, although a large amount of food has been seized from the pirate's lair, but where can you just eat food and nutrition, you also need a lot of influential food, and soldiers are paid, if there are merchants in the port, selling some delicious food and drink, these soldiers will also choose to consume.

In addition, the construction of the harbor required a large number of craftsmen, and the brick kiln factory and other workshops that produced materials also required manpower, which is very valuable news.

After these businessmen got this news, they were all thinking about how to make a fortune.

In the port of West Tianzhu, many businessmen gathered together to discuss how to invest, and some businessmen who had the power to act had already begun to do so.

"Recruit carpenters, bricklayers, handymen, those who can work, don't miss the ...... when you pass by"

Several businessmen began to recruit workers on a large scale on the streets.

There aren't many people signing up for the time being, but there are a lot of people who come to see the excitement.

Several of them recruited in partnership to share the risks that might exist, and they believed that they would make money if they did so.

The businessmen who were still watching naturally wanted to come over to see the excitement.

"Why are you recruiting so many craftsmen, what are you going to do?"

"Datang is 200 miles northwest and is engaged in construction? There is a big shortage of manpower, as long as you recruit them, you will definitely be able to find a job to do, and you will definitely not lose money. ”

"Is the message confirmed?"

"Needless to say, a senior official of the Tang Dynasty Wupin personally told me that they want to build a large number of pirates' nests in the northwest into a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands."

"Hundreds of thousands of people, my God? If it's that big, it's much bigger than our port! This is important news. ”

"The more people there are, the more crowded the land will be, the more expensive the land will be, and we will go to the northwest port now to buy some land, and we can get a hundred times or even a thousand times the income in the future."

"It doesn't work, our people inquired, the land in Datang Port is only rented and not bought, they want to plan it in a unified way, the houses and streets are all built with unified specifications, and they will not let people buy and build houses as they want."

"It would be a pity to only rent and not sell, what a good opportunity to make a fortune! It's just gone, how can there be such a thing in this world? I haven't heard of the imperial court being able to intervene in construction and leasing. ”

"It's a good rent, it costs less and the risk is smaller."

"For the time being, there should be no one except for the more than 10,000 people in Datang, if you go over and open a restaurant now, it is estimated that you won't even be able to earn back the rent!"

"Rent a fart! Haven't the houses been built yet? If you want to rent, you can only rent a tent in Datang. ”

"It's not bad to rent a tent, and it's also good to sell some small food to the craftsmen who are working, and to get acquainted with the environment first."

"It's better to wait for the port to develop and there are more people, and then go to open a branch! I can't make much money if I go now. ”

"I'm willing to go, develop early and gain a firm foothold early."

A large group of businessmen discussed.

When they heard that they were going to work hundreds of miles away, most of them were reluctant to go, because their home was nearby, and they didn't want to run too far, just like working near their home, so that they could earn money and take care of their own family, which could be described as killing two birds with one stone, and if they went to work far away, they couldn't take care of their family, and the salary was not more than twice as high, so no one would be tempted.

"Add money, all craftsmen, add money."

The merchant saw the scale of the port construction, felt that it was profitable, and offered a higher price.

After a few days of recruitment, several merchants took the more than 300 skilled craftsmen they had recruited, took a large ship, and carried a large amount of supplies, to a port hundreds of miles to the northwest.

At the same time, some businessmen followed with the materials they thought were marketable, and even the owner of the Qinglou set off with dozens of women with better appearances.

There are more than 10,000 people in Datang Port, and almost all of them are men, and they are still the strongest young men, so the demand for that aspect must be great.

The pirate's port was still very deserted, there was no place, and these young men could only endure it, and the boss believed that as long as his aunt passed, he would be able to have a good business, and he was afraid that it would be full of customers every night.

The old bustard standing at the bow of the boat, smiling sweeter than anything else, she was the first to take the girl over to do business, in the port where there is a serious shortage of women, all the girls in her hands can be regarded as strange goods, the price is not her final say, however, she does not expect to have too high a price, after all, more than 10,000 Tang soldiers and horses are mostly soldiers and craftsmen with low income, and there are not many rich people with status and status.

But no matter what, it is still a place without the slightest competition for the time being, unlike the bustling port of West Tianzhu, where there are hundreds of large and small green buildings, and the competition is too fierce.

Sell too much and buy too little, in this case, even if the price is higher, it is useless, and many things need to be sold to make a lot of money.

This old bustard was also forced, the business competition was too fierce, in the West Tianzhu Port, she couldn't get along anymore, so she could only transfer her position and continue to struggle, she was a very enterprising bustard.

The port is still being built in an orderly manner, and several lighthouses are under construction, but because the lighthouses are very high, it is impossible to complete them in a short period of time, and the construction of the lighthouses and port facilities will need to be built at the same time.

After the bricks and timber were transported, the construction of the first shopping street began, because the brick and timber houses were not very strong, so the height of the construction was limited to three floors, and the upper and lower three floors were sufficient.

The lower floor is a place to do business, the second floor can be used as a warehouse, and the top floor can be used as a living room, and everything is complete.

Of course, if you open a hotel, you can use the three floors as a place to live, and in the case of a restaurant, you can eat on the three floors, and many of you can eat and drink on the first floor, and the second and third floors as a place to live.

Because it was originally a pirate's lair, there were no commercial facilities at all, and there were no taverns or shops, and more than 10,000 people ate the official food of the imperial court.

However, it will soon change, the first batch of merchants in West Tianzhu have begun to land, and this news naturally cannot be hidden from Li An.

"Li Shilang, the merchants of West Tianzhu Port have come ashore, and they have brought a lot of people to support us."

The subordinate spoke.

"Oh, who are they, are they craftsmen?"

The most lacking thing in Datang's construction port is craftsmen, so Ang Lee's greatest concern is naturally craftsmen.

"There are more than 300 craftsmen, and there are also many small merchants, and the people in Qinglou have done business here."

The subordinate opened his mouth to report.

Li An smiled and said: "The first commercial street is still under construction, and the merchants and girls in the Qinglou can only be placed in tents, just near the first commercial street, set up a tent street and let them open in the tent!" Because they have just arrived, they are exempt from all rents and let them do their part in business. ”

For these first batch of businessmen who came to take refuge, Li An naturally had to be careful, and the prosperity of the port in the future would be inseparable from the efforts of these merchants.

"Yes, my subordinates understand, so I'll do it."

The place where Li An lived, which was not very far from the port, got up and walked to the port in person, ready to see how many people had come.

"Yes, there are more than 1,000 people, and they should be well settled."

Ang Lee said.

"Yes."

The subordinates received the order and immediately went to prepare, went to the side of the first commercial street to set up tents, and prepared to house these guys.

Li An took a look, among the more than 1,000 people, the proportion of women is still very low, only about two hundred, the rest are men, and among a small number of women, Fengchen women account for one-third of the number, and most of the rest are the families of merchants, and the craftsmen have no families.

It didn't take long for a businessman to take the initiative to come to Ang Lee, and their purpose, without guessing, must be about opening a workshop.

"Li Shilang."

The crowd hurriedly saluted.

"Your sense of smell is so sharp! Know there's a lot of work here. ”

Ang Lee said when he met.

"Yes! I've heard about it. ”

"Listen to whom, it's these subordinates of this official!"

Li An said, looking at his subordinates behind him.

For these subordinates, can Li An still not understand, these guys are not fuel-efficient lamps, as long as the businessman invites them to dinner, they can tell the secrets they know, of course, they can only say what they can say, if they can't say it, they don't dare to say it, they can't let themselves lose their official position for a meal!

It is naturally no secret that Li An wants to engage in construction on a large scale, and these officials know the specific scale of construction, so they don't think that it has anything to do with telling these facts, and it is beneficial to attract a large number of businessmen and craftsmen to come.

The merchants looked embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Li An said with a smile: "Okay, don't talk about this, what do you think, just say it, as long as this official can do it, I will definitely try my best to meet your requirements." ”

Seeing that Li An was so polite, the merchants seemed quite happy.

A merchant spoke: "The little one has recruited some carpenters, and plans to open a timber processing factory here, specializing in processing the timber needed by the port, at a fair price, and the children are not bullied." ”

The merchant next to him hurriedly said: "The craftsmen of the small Zhao are very strong, and they are the most able to endure hardships, and they plan to open a sand mining factory to produce sand specifically for Datang, and the price is fair." ”

Li An was very happy to hear this, looked at the businessman who was going to open a timber mill, and said: "The timber mill is very good, your timber mill is located more than ten miles to the east, and in the village next to it, the villagers are cutting down trees day and night, and if you need wood, you can buy it directly from them, and the finished products produced will be transported to the port, and the craftsmen of Datang will personally buy wood to create products." ”

There is a big gap in the craftsmen who build the port, so Li Ang happily allocated the carpenter's business to the businessman to ask, and the craftsmen who brought him could leave a small part to guide, and the salary was responsible for the businessman, and the remaining businessmen could enter the construction field and help build the first street.

"There's a lot of sand in the river next to it, so where you like to collect sand, decide for yourself! However, the quality must be guaranteed, and there should be no undesirable soil and various impurities. ”

Li An looked at the other businessman and asked.

"Yes, the little one understands."

The two merchants answered together.

At this moment, another businessman walked over, but it was a businesswoman, and her figure was quite charming, and she was not very old, and her eyebrows were full of a seductive charm.

However, the charm of this kind of half-aged MILFs can only seduce older old men, or people with relatively low status, for Ang Lee, such a woman has no charm, and the pink little Lori is her favorite.

This businesswoman is naturally the old bustard of the Qinglou, and she used to be a little girl who picked up customers, and she is still very popular, but she is older and more experienced, and she has become the boss step by step, and she began to train the following little ones.

Qinglou is a very profitable industry, and no matter what era, as long as it is a profiteering industry, it is not something that ordinary people can open, and it must have the background of the official family.
