Mu Jing flipped through the plan compiled by Xicao, of course, Gongcao's efforts were indispensable, and even most of the data provided by Gongcao's people were indispensable.

The mansion of the Ming Hou Mansion is almost completed, the office area in the front yard was completed last year, and most of the courtyards in the residential area in the back yard have also been completed.

Yue Zhu, the director of Gongcao, has already gathered an exploration team with hundreds of craftsmen and went to explore.

The news kept coming back, but the exploration was not yet complete.

"Dongshan gallop road, go is Dongshan plank road!"

Mu Jing looked at it carefully: "This should be the longest galloping road, from Fangling to Nanxiang, take the Dongshan plank road, the total length is nearly three hundred miles!" ”

"The key is the mountain road!"

Liu Jin said with a wry smile: "The biggest investment is how to expand this plank road into a galloping road, the so-called galloping road, at least four double-headed carriages passing side by side, in order to be called a galloping road, the investment must be the largest, and it is necessary to use the name of the Minghou Mansion to recruit people!" ”

"But once it's through, it's different!"

Mu Jing squinted: "Now it takes at least three or four days to take the Dongshan plank road from Fangling to Nanxiang, but once the galloping road is opened, the carriage will arrive in a day and a night, and time is the benefit!" ”

"I don't know how to get through after opening up, but now that the difficulties have come out, I am afraid that the huge investment will scare off these businessmen, and the businessmen may not be as bold as a tiger, and they will inevitably retreat if they can't see the benefits!" Xicao's director Bao Su smiled bitterly.

"Not necessarily!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "There will be people who have the guts!" ”

He thought for a while: "It's just that this Han River is only two hundred miles, and along the Han River, it leads directly to Wudang County, but it is not so troublesome, and it may be easier for people to have the heart to invest!" ”

"But my lord, do you know that now that Hanshui can be used for merchant ships, there is one more gallop road, which may not be more popular!"

Qin Song, the head of Dongcao, who had been silent for a long time, said in a low voice.

Under the efforts of the Second Army of Jingping, the waterway of Hanshui was cleaned up, and some small or stranded places were sorted out.

"No!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "Han water is Han water, Chi Road is Chi Road, most people will think that the water is unsafe and insecure, but anyone who has the ability, whether it is a caravan, or usually in and out, they all like to walk a lot, don't they?" ”

"That's the same thing!"

Liu Jin agrees with this truth.

"Make bold assumptions, carefully verify, this style of action is right, the Chi Road plan may not be smooth sailing, since you South Study thinks that two will be opened first, then open two!"

Mu Jing agreed with the plan of the South Study and asked, "When will the tender be tendered?" ”

"Ten days later, the third day of the third month of March!"

Liu Jin replied.

"Who's responsible?"

"I'm in charge myself!" Liu Jin said: "This matter is related to the livelihood of the people in the two counties, and I must personally sit in charge!" “

"Good!"

The pastor nodded: "On the day of the bidding, I will be there in person!" ”

Those businessmen, I'm afraid they still need their own names to shake it, otherwise the signboard of Minghou Mansion may not be able to stop it.

……

The times are different, the environment is different, the market is also immature, although the bidding has created a new way of doing business, but the first time there will always be some rush.

On March 3, in the city of Nanzheng, a mansion.

This mansion is the mansion where the Minghou Mansion temporarily settled in the past, Mu Jing is a stronghold in the city, and it was used by Liu Jin's skillful requisition, Mu Jing has nothing to say, in order to save costs, he has to praise it, it is really a good subordinate.

"Shopkeeper Long, it's been a few days!"

"Shopkeeper Ping, I don't want to see you, back then in Guanzhong, you didn't have any food left in our Long family's granary!"

"The old past, it's rare to remember the shopkeeper Long!"

"Shopkeeper Luo, after your Luo family left Jingping Commercial Bank, they found a good way out, and Donghai Commercial Bank robbed us of a lot of business in Hengtong in Guanzhong!"

"It's all business, don't talk about robbing shopkeeper Xu, it's not good!"

"Shopkeeper Ye is well-informed!"

"Isn't Shopkeeper Jing also well-informed?"

“……”

Nearly 20 businessmen gathered together, more than half of them were the old people of Jingping Commercial Bank, and they were somewhat active with each other.

"It's been a long time since you've seen you!"

Mu Jing took Liu Jin, together with more than ten officials from the Ming Hou Mansion Xicao and Gongcao, walked in from the outside and smiled at the businessmen.

"Meet the treasurer!"

In the past, the merchants under the command of Jingping Commercial Bank saluted one after another.

"Meet the Prince!"

Some merchants did not have the customs of Jingping Commercial House in the past, but only saluted respectfully and honored the title of prince.

"Do!"

Mu Jing pressed his hand and asked the businessmen to sit down.

He has always been straight to the point, without too many polite words: "This time let you and others rush to Hanzhong, in fact, you are also playing drums in your hearts, right, I used to be a businessman, businessmen pay attention to interests, today I am here to give you a promise, in Hanzhong business, I will never oppress you, if you are willing, you can, you can!" ”

"The big shopkeeper is a person, and we naturally trust!"

Everyone arched their fists.

Mujing's reputation in the business world, in fact, is better than the world, the former Jingping Commercial Bank, that is really played the prestige of the merchants, with the strength of the merchants, shake the price of grain in the entire Guanzhong, that is a battle that countless merchants admire, but also let them have hope in their hearts.

"Liu Jin, you tell them about the investment and profit method of this Chidao plan, and then we will talk about the bidding!"

Mu Jing said softly.

"No!"

Liu Jin walked out, he introduced himself, and then began to explain in detail the plan for the construction of the gallop road.

"Chidao's profit is in the road tax!"

"The price of the road tax is determined by the Minghou Mansion, but the income belongs to the businessmen who invest, and the pass setting can only be done by the Minghou Mansion, but this account calculation can be checked by you!"

"We have a total of two gallops to build this time!"

"One is the East Mountain Gallop Road, and the other is the Han Water Gallop Road!"

"After the completion of the construction, the road tax within ten years will all go to the investment, but after ten years, we will take back the road tax power of this galloping road!"

“……”

Liu Jin said very carefully, and completely exported the ways of investment and profit, so that these businessmen could measure it themselves.

"This way of road tax is more to see if there is anyone to walk, if the road is built and no one goes, I am afraid we will lose all our money!"

"Nanyang has a large population, Hanzhong is a large place, and it is the intersection between Yizhou and Jingzhou, once it is cultivated, whether it is a caravan or ordinary people, I am afraid they are willing to take this road, can go to Nanyang in one day, who will walk for five or six days!"

"That's what I said, but what if I have to worry about the people of the Minghou Mansion cheating?"

"If there is chaos today, the princes are divided, where is the most business not to worry about, but the Ming Marquis is a person, I have heard a lot, for us businessmen, few people can do so respect, if it is business, I am still willing to do it with the Ming Marquis Mansion!"

"Ten years of road tax, in fact, there is something to earn!"

"It's just that the cycle is too long!"

“……”

The merchants began to discuss in whispers.

"The East Mountain is three hundred miles long, I'm afraid it will be difficult for a family to achieve great things!" The shopkeeper Yu, who represented the Donghai Commercial Bank, calculated: "Our Donghai Commercial Bank has only mobilized 8,000 gold, and we can't eat it!" ”

"The big shopkeeper has already budgeted a lot, and our Hengtong Commercial Bank has shipped 6,000 gold, but it seems that it is still far from enough!"

Representatives of Hengtong Commercial Bank are also calculating.

The people of several trading houses also began to secretly calculate in their hearts.

"Bidding is now open!"

Liu Jin said: "First of all, it is the East Mountain Gallop Road!" ”

The bidding is not as standardized as the later generations, it is who is willing to do what it is, for the present, to pull out a person who is willing to do it, Mujing is definitely very satisfied, not like the later generations, and there will be a bid, but also a relationship.
