Chapter 290: Building a House
Now, Xuchang City is completely renewed.
More than a quarter of the abandoned land was now demolished and rebuilt.
The abandoned land that was originally deserted has now become a hot construction site, full of dust and flying sand.
Countless workers and engineers are working the construction site at this time, one by one small carts carrying fertilizer and cement, constantly shuttling between the construction site and the crowd.
At this time, the original residents of Xuchang were also very curious:
"How did you build so many houses all of a sudden? Who are you going to live in? ”
But although the people don't know why the house was built, who is the commander-in-chief, everyone probably has the answer in their hearts.
It must be Cao Shuo, who dares to do this, there is really no one to get rid of him!
But... What is Cao Shuo's mind pretending to be now?
"Cao Shuo, how did you clear so much wasteland?"
At the meeting on this day, the first thing Cao Cao did was to ask Cao Shuo.
"Clear? I'm rebuilding! ”
Cao Shuo smiled and then said.
"Then why are you building so many houses? Who are you going to live in? Cao Cao said with a suspicious face.
"Of course it's for you, Daddy!"
Cao Shuo was still unhurried, and said with a smile.
"It's... It's true? ”
Cao Cao suddenly felt like he had eaten honey, thinking that he was thinking about his father this time.
But then, Cao Cao immediately came to his senses, slapped the table and scolded: "You fart, this time you are definitely calculating your Lao Tzu again!" ”
"How could it be, how could I calculate Daddy?"
Cao Shuo grinned and said:
"I definitely want to honor my father this time, if I lie, I am willing to be thundered by the sky!"
"This..."
Cao Cao touched his beard, then grinned and said, "That's really good, I'm waiting for your good news!" ”
No way, our old man Cao is actually a very casual person, and when he hears good things, he often forgets the previous lesson.
"That's good, Dad, just wait for it!"
Cao Shuo smiled, then turned to leave.
But no one else in the room thought so.
Carefully recall the memories... Every time I see this smile on Cao Shuo's face, basically nothing good happens.
And, there's always a chilling feeling when you look at it.
If you don't expect to make a mistake, then this kid is definitely going to continue to cheat!
But there is another good thing, that is, Cao Shuo's pit father generally does not involve outsiders.
Thinking of this, everyone's hanging hearts fell.
Then some time passed, and it dawned on them that they were completely wrong.
The targets of Cao Shuokeng's people this time are actually civil and military officials.
Cao Shuo's plan to build a house lasted for nearly half a year, and it lasted until winter, when the construction of the house was basically completed.
But in front of these houses is an avenue where eight carriages can walk side by side at the same time.
On the avenue, Cao Shuo also imitated modern technology, marking a lot of zebra crossings on the road, as well as road signs such as driving tracks.
At the top of the road, there is also a sidewalk for people to walk.
On both sides of the road, a uniform white-on-gray painted four-story bungalow was built.
Of course, these are not the storefronts that Cao Shuo makes people live, but are ready to be used for business.
In the middle of the road, there is a huge mansion, which looks extremely magnificent from a distance, and the scale even exceeds the current Cao Cao mansion.
At the door of the mansion, there are several large characters inlaid with gold edges:
Prime Minister's Mansion!
This is where Cao Cao lives!
On the opposite side of the Prime Minister's Mansion is a bell tower specially built by Cao Shuo, on which there is a huge clock to display the time.
"Is it really for me? Still finished? ”
Hearing the news, Cao Cao was about to jump for joy.
But Cao Shuo has been shirking Cao Cao:
"Wait a little longer, there's still a lot of work to be done!"
Moreover, Cao Shuo also said that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and when the construction inside was completed, he would definitely shock his father's eyes.
Hearing Cao Shuo's words, Cao Cao was even more impatient!
So, Cao Cao sent a few soldiers to secretly go to the prime minister's mansion that is still being renovated to check it out.
But after coming back... Every soldier had a very strange look on his face.
One by one, they... It seems to be a poor word, and I keep saying how luxurious it is, but in more detail, I can't say anything at all.
Cao Cao listened, and his heart itched even more.
"Cao Shuo is so filial this time!"
Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart and said:
"But I really don't know how much it will cost to build such a luxurious house!"
But now...
In fact, Cao Shuo is the richest person in the entire Han Dynasty.
The reason is also very simple, Cao Shuo's ways to make money are too many to count, and various means are endless.
Overall, it is estimated that one-sixth of the money in the entire Huaxia is in Cao Shuo's hands.
Moreover... This is after Cao Shuo paid out of his own pocket many times and did many charity campaigns.
Cao Shuo also gave Cao Cao the money for many entertainment events, if Cao Shuo really made money alone...
I really can't imagine how amazing Cao Shuo's wealth will be.
At this time, Cao Shuo's economic output was also all up, and no one in this world could stop Cao Shuo's accumulation of wealth.
The next day, another message appeared in the magazine:
This is called the upper bunks on both sides of the Mengde block, ready to start attracting investment.
Of course, the meaning here is not much different from the modern one, that is, it is simply to attract merchants to do business here, such as restaurants, pawnshops, inns and so on.
Cao Shuo also explained his conditions in the magazine:
Rent is free for two years, but the decoration and other expenses are borne by the merchant himself.
When the businessman saw the magazine that day, the whole person became excited.
That's pretty awesome!
Two years of rent-free, and this is the Mengde neighborhood, maybe the city center will be here in the future!
If you don't grab this, there is really something wrong with your brain!
And Cao Shuo specially sent people to find the original shops of these merchants, and then conduct a strength assessment.
If the decoration or store level is not enough, just brush it down.
In addition, Cao Shuo also made planning adjustments on both sides of the Mengde block, such as where is the food area, where is the entertainment area, where is the rest area...
Even the vendors who set up stalls, Cao Shuo also set up a special area for them.
At this time, the Mengde neighborhood is like a thriving scene!
The business owners have been praying in their hearts that they can pass Cao Shuo's standard.
If you can really open a store in it, it will really take off!
