Chapter 570, Construction of Songhu

As Songhu fell into the hands of Liu Jin, Liu Jin also began to lay out.

Songhu is a good place.

Liu Jin looked at the map of Songhu and slowly pondered how to plan.

At this time, Songhu is far from being compared with Shanghai in later generations, it is just an ordinary county seat, except for the county seat, all other places are paddy fields, the land of fish and rice, and the kind of hairy crabs that are rampant.

"It's also quite close to Ma'anshan, so you can let Miyun Iron Factory come here to build a branch, with iron, other things are much easier, and the Jiangnan area is also the place where the entire Daming Iron consumes the most."

"The cement plant must be built, and the Tianjin cement plant can also build a branch plant in Songhu, but it is still necessary to attract more people to build a cement plant in Songhu."

"Cement has become popular in the north, and the south has strong economic strength, once it becomes popular, it will only be a matter of building bridges and paving roads, and the cement needed in the south will be astronomical."

"Textile mills are also indispensable, the south is the production area of silk, and there is also a large amount of cotton cultivation here, the key is that labor is much cheaper than in Beijing and Tianjin."

"Well, the glass factory should also be built in Songhu to meet the demand for glass in the south, and it will be much more convenient to export overseas in the future."

"Shipyards should also be built, the rise of capitalism in the south, the rise of maritime trade, it is estimated that it will soon surpass the north, and it is necessary to occupy the pit in advance."

Liu Jin accompanied his fingers and calculated carefully.

There are too many industries under his command, but they are basically concentrated in the north, and the next thing is to slowly expand to the south, to the entire Ming Dynasty.

In order for Songhu to develop, it is far from enough to rely on its superior geographical location.

Daming has thousands of miles of sea frontiers, and there are many good places.

But not every place can develop.

The geographical location is superior, and it also requires a lot of investment and construction to be able to drive it.

In later generations, Shanghai was able to develop, not only because of Shanghai's good geographical location, but also because the country concentrated its efforts to build Shanghai, so it built the Pearl of the Orient.

The same is true of Songhu now, it is just an ordinary county town, and it is difficult to get up if there is no investment.

Even if it can get up, its speed will be very slow, very slow, maybe in a few decades, hundreds of years, it may not be able to have the current prosperity of Tianjin.

Tianjin was able to have the current situation, and at the beginning, it was slowly pulled up by the millions of taels of silver brought by Liu Jin.

Investment is a must, and it has to be made on a large scale.

Soon, Liu Jin's order spread to many industries under his command, such as Miyun Iron Works, Tianjin Cement Factory, Tianjin Textile Factory, Garment Factory, Coal Factory, Glass Factory, Shipyard, etc., also began to send people south to Songhu.

Prepare to follow Liu Jin's instructions, start to choose a site in Songhu, and prepare to invest in a factory.

Liu Jin is the vane of the Beijing-Tianjin region.

Many industries under Liu Jin's command were ready to invest in Songhu to build factories, and as soon as the news spread, people in the entire Beijing-Tianjin region began to follow Liu Jin's footsteps.

A large number of capitalists, factory owners, and workshop owners also sent people to Songhu, ready to follow in Liu Jin's footsteps and invest and build factories here in Songhu.

Everyone has already decided on one thing.

If you want to get rich, then you must follow Liu Jin, follow this son of a master, follow this God of Wealth, and you won't be wrong to keep it.

……

Songhu.

Sun Xin, who bought almost the entire Songhu, was not in a hurry to leave.

He began to recruit workers on a large scale, not only here in Songhu, but also in Jiangsu, Hangzhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions around Songhu.

A group of people set off from Songhu, brought a few locals, and began to beat gongs and drums and shout every time they arrived at a place.

"Recruited~Recruited~"

"Recruit workers to go to Songhu to repair wharves, build ports, and repair cement roads~"

"Three taels of silver a month, paid in full every month, including three meals a day, and a full meal."

With such attractive conditions, it is almost effortless to find people.

In less than half a month, thousands of people began to gather here in Songhu from places around Songhu.

The work given to them by Sun Xin is also very simple, repairing wharves, ports, and cement roads.

These are also what Liu Jin ordered him to do, if a place wants to develop, this basic hardware facility must be built first.

This is what the three links and one level of later generations said.

Songhu is still very backward here, there is no cement road, and the wharves here in the Huangpu River are still wooden, very small, and there are not many ships parked at all.

Subsequently, all kinds of factories and workshops were set up here, and it would not work without these basic things.

Thousands of people gathered here in Songhu, turning the entire Songhu into a lively construction site.

Massive amounts of matter began to converge continuously.

Every day, dozens of large ships arrive here in Songhu, filled with cement, cement in standard wooden barrels, and boats and boats of steel bars.

Now only Miyun Iron Plant can produce steel bars, which is the construction of high-rise buildings, the construction of ports, wharves is absolutely indispensable for reinforced concrete.

With steel and concrete, the infrastructure can be built very quickly.

It seems to be a high-rise building from the ground, and it seems to be a vicissitudes of life.

On both sides of the Huangpu River, great changes are taking place every day.

The day before yesterday, the banks of the Huangpu River were still paddy fields and tidal flats, but soon thousands of people came here, and they were busy here every day, and big ships arrived here to unload a huge amount of supplies.

Then, in just a few days, a huge clearing was built on the banks of the Huangpu River, paved with cement, and next to the clearing, new wharves were lined up neatly.

Then, a few days later, a wide cement road was built along the bank of the Huangpu River, this cement road is very spacious, and there are even saplings planted in the middle, which is called the green belt.

It's like magic, and it's incredibly fast.

In just a few days, a sea change has taken place.

This makes these people in Songhu County feel very shocked, every day when they are idle and have nothing to do, these people in Songhu have to go to the Huangpu River to see.

Take a look at the bustling construction site and see the dramatic changes.

But that's just the beginning.

Along both sides of the Huangpu River, the wharf is built more and more, the more it is repaired, the more it is arranged, the big ships can be moored on the wharf, and the wharf becomes extremely busy here.

The road was also built farther and farther, and began to be built farther away, horizontally and vertically, like a neatly planned chessboard, planning the surrounding large tract of land into square places.

At the same time, on both sides of the wide road, buildings began to rise from the ground.

This kind of reinforced concrete building is very high, with seven or eight floors at any of them, standing like giants on both sides of the Huangpu River.

Compared with these buildings, the houses in Songhu County are very small and very ugly.

The exterior walls of these buildings are all tiled, very beautiful, the windows are very large, glass windows are installed, and at night, oil lamps are lit, under the magnification of glass lamps.

The buildings are brightly lit and resplendent in gold.

Looking at the place where I live, the entire Songhu county is pitch black at night, and there is no comparison.

However, at this time, the locals in Songhu are no longer in the mood to compare these.

Because they're also getting very busy.

With the construction of Songhu here, these people in Songhu suddenly found that this silver suddenly became easier to earn.

If you go to work, you will get three taels of silver a month, and you will receive three meals a day.

If you have brains and some capital, you can sell things to sell.

More and more people gathered here in Songhu, and there were only more than 20,000 people in Songhu before, but now, there are tens of thousands of people working on both sides of the Huangpu River alone.

Everything is very easy to sell.

The vegetables you grow, the chickens, ducks and geese, the fish you catch from the water, the crabs you catch, etc., as long as you have the goods in your hands and send them to the construction site, you will be robbed immediately.

The whole Songhu has become more and more lively, there are more and more people, and the consumption is getting bigger and bigger.

There are special businessmen who go to the surrounding areas of Songhu to buy chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, fish, etc., these things are very cheap in rural areas, but they are transported to Songhu here, and they can immediately make a good bad money.

The local grain merchants are even more busy, constantly buying grain from all over the world and transporting it to Songhu to satisfy this growing appetite.

The huge amount of money injected into Songhu seems to have installed a strong power for Songhu, making the whole Songhu extremely noisy and lively.

But that's just the beginning.

With the preliminary construction of the wharf and port, the cement road was also preliminarily built, and factories began to settle in Songhu one after another.
