Xiong Dao's business trip is not small: shopkeepers, account rooms, guys, bodyguards, internal guards, small servants, there are more than 40 people in these alone. In fact, this person is only the vanguard of this mission.

You must know that Master Xiong is coming to open a port this time. Not to mention the construction of a large-scale new wharf area, with the urine of the traverser, there must be a commercial area and a residential area, to put it bluntly, a small special area.

Shanghai Tang, Adventurer's Paradise, Tram, Arcade, Sincere Company, Yongan Company...... If you don't get the "retro" Nanjing Road that is common in TV dramas, is it still called Shanghai Beach?

So not only did he bring a lot of natives with him this time, but when things became a little clearer, there would be some traversers who would come here on a business trip - planning and building these bear roads didn't understand, and they needed to be sent by other departments.

......

Master Xiong's team rested in Luo Yuan that night. Luo Shizhi not only set aside half of the garden for the guests to rest, but also planned to provide the boss with a few maids to serve.

However, this was politely denied.

Over time, the structure of the Crossing Nation has been refined, so many of the former wild paths are now becoming more and more formalized.

Like Xiong Dao, those who joined the intelligence system at will, they all received professional make-up lessons from Deputy Director Ma Yue one after another to make up for their missing parts.

And the close people around them, including the internal guards and the little guys, have now been replaced by regular employees trained by the Intelligence Bureau at the Xingang training base. These people are not only responsible for protecting the safety of Xiong Dao, but also responsible for the daily life of spies such as sending reports, investigations, and secret assassinations.

So when Master Xiong goes out now, it is equivalent to an intelligence team going out, carrying all kinds of secrets with him, and it is impossible to accept the maids sent by the Luo family.

After a brief rest that night, from the next day, Mr. Xiong didn't do anything, and first entered a round of social time.

Reception banquet, song banquet, tea party, clear talk, secret talk, meet with a certain person who comes to the door with a gift, and go to the door with a gift to ask for a meeting...... The whole round of social activities took up several days of Xiong Dao's time.

This is a must. There are a lot of wealthy businessmen in Shanghai County, and many of them have dealt with Master Xiong. Now that someone wants to perform here, he naturally has to feel the situation first and say hello to the gods from all walks of life.

After a round of intensive social activities, Xiong Dao freed his hands and began to do business.

The first step is site surveying. The map of later generations is different from that of 400 years ago, and the word "vicissitudes of life" is a good interpretation of the changes in Shanghai: about one-fifth of the coastal land on Google was still the sea in the Ming Dynasty, and places like Pudong International Airport and Nanhui New Town are all fish and turtle kingdoms now.

Xiong Dao spent a few days walking along the water network near the coastline, and then the small boat he took took to wander around the town of Takahashi.

Gaoqiao Town is 30 miles northeast of Shanghai County, in the early Tang Dynasty was only a small island at the mouth of the Yangtze River, with the passage of time, the island gradually connected with the mainland, in the Ming Dynasty belonged to the territory of Jiading County.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing as Waigaoqiao, only Gaoqiao Town, which is not far from the coastline and is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River. In the northwest of Gaoqiao Town, it is the place where the Huangpu River goes to sea: Wusongkou.

According to the strategic plan passed down by the Dayuan, the future port area will definitely be a river-sea combined transport - tracing along the Yangtze River to the mainland of the Ming Dynasty is an established strategy.

Therefore, Gaoqiao Town has become the key location of Bear Road. This place is close to the mouth of the Yangtze River and the mouth of the Huangpu River, once the port is completed, it can not only berth the sea vessels, drink the Yangtze River, but also use the water transport capacity of the Huangpu River to communicate the water transport trade of the entire Jiangnan region, which is a good "Golden Triangle" area.

So Xiong Dao led people to carefully survey the neighborhood. Not only did he estimate the area of the land to be purchased, but he also took digital photographs and entered the general topography of the 17th-century Takahashi into an electronic map, and then brought the USB stick back to the company.

In the days of waiting for a reply, Xiong Dao was not idle: the first step of the Long March has only been completed, and there are still many troubles in the follow-up.

The biggest headache for him is the next land.

You know, once the construction of the new area begins, then everyone will know that the price of the surrounding land will increase...... Don't underestimate the business sense of the ancients, especially in a place like Gangnam.

So in order to avoid future troubles and avoid the emergence of 17th-century nail households, Xiong Dao had to buy as much land as possible at the beginning, quietly enter the village, and shoot no land.

After all, to a certain extent, Xiongdao's funds can be said to be endless, and Shanghai Beach Land is not a loss-making business, so buying as much as you want is king.

In fact, the sky-high price of the nail household is not the most difficult, after all, this is also a commercial behavior, Xiong from a real estate powerhouse has experience in cross-era demolition.

What Xiong Dao fears most are those who simply don't sell their land - such as the gentlemen who are not bad for money, and the homesteaders who regard those few acres of land as their life.

......

After a rough plan, Master Xiong went back to Luo Yuan, and the next thing was to work on the case.

According to the preliminary plan, the initial port, freight yard, residential, and commercial areas add up to at least one square kilometer of land before they can be developed.

The plot of the 17th century is different from that of later generations. There are not only forests, wetlands, large and small streams, lakes, barren beaches, reed ponds, but also farmland, mulberry gardens, villages, private harbors and so on. In conclusion, the terrain is complex, as is land ownership.

Xiong Dao's current job is to work with his shopkeepers to mark the promising plots on the map first. Which piece is a barren beach and which piece is a cotton field, after these are counted, the next step can be targeted.

That night, facing the large map hanging on the wall, Mr. Xiong, who was holding a kerosene lamp, couldn't help frowning more and more: What a rough road ahead! It is not a loss that the familiar land in the south of the Yangtze River that has been developed for hundreds of years, within the square kilometer area that he is optimistic about, except for some natural rivers, lakes and forest beaches, there are more than 70% of the land on the map!

This means that Xiong Dao has to put more effort and mobilize more resources to complete the task......

"Well, take it one step at a time." Xiong Dao had already pressed his mind at this time, and he was going to talk about a protracted battle.

Early the next morning, Master Xiong took the shopkeeper and the tent, as well as a local senior tooth man introduced by Luo Shizhi, to Jiading County.

Although Jiading in later times was only one of the 16 districts of Shanghai, in this era, a large area including Baoshan, Putuo, Yangpu, Hongkou, Jing'an and Pudong was actually under the jurisdiction of Jiading County.

Entering the circular Jiading County, Master Xiong and his entourage abandoned the sedan chair on the boat and came to the county office in a short time. Today is not the day of the announcement, so when Master Xiong's film and gift list were handed in, it didn't take long for him to be received by the county master.

Of course, he was quickly received by the county magistrate, not because Xiong Dao, a white-bodied grass man, was handsome, but because he was under the banner of the Luo family, well, don't forget that there is also a gift list.

The county master is more than 30 years old, and his surname is strange, his name is Lai Fangwei, and he was born in the Xiaoshan clan.

Lai Fang Wei is the 60th place in the 5th annual examination of the Apocalypse, and he just came to the county last year to take office. The top three are the same jinshi, so naturally it is not his turn to go to the Hanlin Academy, so the release is certain. Historically, this person has served as the county commander of Houguan County in Fujian, the county commander of Jiading County in Jiangsu, and the official department member Wailang and other positions, and the official reputation is quite good, and the villagers respectfully call him "the official who comes to heaven".

After seeing the county magistrate in the flower hall in the backyard, Xiong Dao hurriedly put on a smiling face, took out the true colors of a businessman, and praised the unmasked county magistrate, and made a friendship.

came to the county order and didn't care about himself, and cooperated with Master Xiong with a smile. The official reputation does not mean that he is not familiar with the world, like this kind of businessman who asks for door-to-door affairs, he likes it very much when he comes to the county order: as long as it is not a major matter of committing a traitor, ordinary small favors can be helped, and it will not damage the official reputation and be polite, why not? When the prefectural order is expensive, it is very expensive!

After chatting for a few words, Xiong Dao saw that the atmosphere was almost over, so he told his intention: he wanted to check the red and white deed information in the house rack grid.

The household house is the department in charge of taxation, land, taxation and grain payment in the county government. Therefore, if someone wants to check the land information of the county, then it is right to find a house.

When the county magistrate heard this, he couldn't help but laugh: "This matter is easy, Master Xiong went to find the rest of the scribe." ”

So Xiong Dao easily won the approval of the county magistrate.

Of course, Xiong Dao knew in his heart that this was only the first level, and the real difficulty was still in the house, so the county master could agree lightly.

Theoretically speaking, in fact, the people of the county government have the right to read the information. But this theory is divorced from reality: who dares to go to the county government to find trouble? Even if you go, can the scrivener of the household honestly let you see the deed?

Therefore, it is not difficult for those who will know, but it will not be difficult for those who are difficult. It is very simple for the gentry to know a little bit about the situation, but not for ordinary people.

The clerk in charge of the household in Jiading County is called Yu Bende.

The people who can get into this position in the wealthy Jiangnan county, according to later generations, are all hidden rich people with people above. An official like Yu Bende is a person who really holds the power of a county; The county magistrates take turns, and the officials inherit their father's business, and they can accumulate a huge family business in a few generations.

So after Xiong Dao saw Yu Bende, although the other party's attitude seemed respectful, he still bothered himself and dealt with it carefully.

And Yu Bende is also vigilant: he is not afraid that this bear master will check the information and buy land, he is afraid that after taking out the file, the other party will find some flaws in it and stab himself.

You must know that smearing the file, revising the file, and giving the fake file to the officials are the most commonly used methods by the officials. Sometimes it's for personal interests, sometimes it's for Shangguan's power, in short, if he can't handle the book, Xiong Dao will definitely not be able to find the information he wants today.

At this time, the local tooth people brought by Xiong Dao came in handy.

Tooth people are an effective communication channel. Everyone is an acquaintance who eats real estate, and after some exchanges, Yu Bende let down his guard. Of course, the large sum of money promised by Xiong Dao was the decisive factor for Yu Bende to actively cooperate with a smile in the end.
