Text Chapter 230 The Road to the Village
"Of course, the money in the public school cannot be used at will." Chen Dujing said with a smile: "But the Nan'an Courtyard on the island has to be built, and the expected wedding date is within this year, saying that it is autumn, at most August or September, not more than October, to build the Hou Mansion Courtyard and build a decent mansion, it will take a long time to build a large garden." Coupled with the maids who are waiting, the teeth of the nursing home will also have a place to live. Let's call Mingda to choose a site, let's build a courtyard for him, build 10,000 houses, and tell him that this is the third sister's dowry, not his inheritance! ”
Of course, the house must be built with a deed and reported to Fuzhou for the record, the level of economic management of the Great Wei far exceeds that of the Han and Tang Dynasties, if there is a Ming or Qing Dynasty in history, it is also a pat that the horse can not keep up with the economic management level of the Great Wei.
A large courtyard, composed of a practical courtyard, from the gate to the second instrument, the main hall, the partial courtyard set of partial courtyards, the stable kitchen and the back garden, the exquisite mountain stones, the drainage canal, the pond, the pavilions and pavilions and pavilions copy the verandah, a large number of flowers, spend thousands of guan can have, spend tens of thousands of guan can not necessarily build a look, according to the two are the standards of the Hou Mansion, as well as the prospect of the development of the Eastern Domain, this annex has to spend at least 50,000 or 60,000 guan, according to the land price of Fuzhou, it is the price of thousands of acres of upper fields, if it is a slope field, enough to buy 10,000 acres.
Ordinary houses, 10,000 rooms, of course, can't really be the residence of the maid's little nurse's home, it is to help Xu Zixian engage in development.
A house, thatched huts do not need to be mentioned, not valuable, some artificial money, Xu Zi first wants to build a decent brick wall and tile roof house, a cost between eight and ten runs.
A small farm yard with a gate of five houses costs between 40 and 50 yuan, and it can generally be sold for 60 yuan.
If it is sold in Fuzhou, I am afraid that it can get 200 yuan, but this is not the cost of construction, but the premium of land price in developed cities.
In the Eastern Domain, the cost is probably larger, at least ten guan per room, that is, between Chen Dujing's few words, 200,000 guan will almost be sent out.
"I can't call your little sister a ...... without living money" Chen Dujing said with a smile: "Give another 300 taels of gold, 3,000 taels of silver, 30,000 yuan of money for the marriage, and the commercial house built in the Eastern Domain, there will always be some profits in a year, from my share, take 30% to the little sister as pocket money." ”
The establishment of a commercial bank in the Eastern Domain to carry out entrepot trade is also one of the conditions for supporting and developing the Eastern Domain, Chen Duguang and Chen Duzhong both agreed, and the commercial bank built in the name of the Hou Mansion will of course have the income of the public middle school, and Chen Dujing is the patriarch and patriarch, and the part of the income must be the largest part.
However, Chen Dujing estimated that the largest entrepot trade of the Eastern Domain in a year must be cotton cloth, after all, the development of the Eastern Domain is to go to the cotton fields and weaving.
To be honest, if it weren't for Xu Zixian's technical prospects in spinning cotton weaving, whether it was a one-foot machine or a water-powered textile machine or a water-powered loom, it would have made the Changwen Hou Mansion feel the potential strength of the Nan'an Hou Mansion, and I am afraid that this kind of cooperation would still stay on paper.
There are already ready-made acquisition channels, and the cloth trade that is cut off every year has already made the Changwen Marquis Mansion a lot of money, so why venture to a desert island again?
Even if you grow cotton, make lint, spin it into cotton thread, and weave it into cloth, you don't know how many links you have to go through, and there are too many cases where one link goes wrong, resulting in the loss of all your previous efforts.
Nan'an Hou Mansion has excellent talents and super organizational skills, which can be determined by the Changwen Hou Mansion, and because of this, a group of old foxes endured the pain and invested a large amount of money on a desert island like the Eastern Domain, which has not turned over for two hundred years.
If there is a slight mistake in cotton production, spinning, and weaving, it can be regarded as throwing money into the sea, which can make those big families in Fuzhou laugh to death.
Because of the contradiction between Jingyuan Marquis Chen Man and Xu Zixian, he had already released his words, and he had to wait to see the jokes of Changwen Marquis Mansion and Xu Zixian.
However, Chen Dujing estimates that there will not be too many problems.
Manpower, pasture, seeds, farm tools, these things have long been ready, the place is large, the land is sufficient, the people of the Changwen Marquis Mansion have also gone to the Eastern Domain, in the southern plain that Xu Zixian said there is indeed a large plain area without mountains, there are about 100 miles from east to west, and about 400 miles from north to south, if all of them are developed, I am afraid that there are four or five million acres of cultivated land, plus more than one million acres of forest land, as well as a considerable water area, and a fairly long coastline, all kinds of resources are quite abundant, Xu Zi has to do things first and is meticulous and fine, There is no possibility of unsuccessful cotton weaving.
As long as it is accumulated, entrepot trade will always have some scale in the Eastern Domain, but Chen Dujing estimates that the scale will not be too large, and it is not bad to have an income of about tens of thousands of guan a year, and give 30% to the youngest daughter, at most a few thousand guan a year, and it can only be used as pocket money.
"I'm red-eyed." Chen Zhengzhi joked: "My son doesn't have so much pocket money. ”
Chen Dujing smiled and ignored the nonsense Chen Zhengzhi, Fujian people marry their daughters because the more dowry, the better, Chen Zhengzhi is also a family, and the dowry is scary.
This custom has not changed after hundreds of years, the more dowry, the less the daughter will be bullied when she marries, the higher her status, and the mother's family will also have face.
Of course, the two Hou mansions don't have to compete in these matters, Chen Dujing gives so much, just knowing that Xu Zixian will spend a lot of effort on the Eastern Domain in the future, and it is very likely that he will live in the Eastern Domain, and of course the more comfortable his daughter is, the better.
If it weren't for some fear, Chen Dujing would like to repair the Hou Mansion in Nan'an and the Hou Mansion in Fuzhou City, spending tens of thousands of dollars is just a trivial matter, and the comfort of his daughter is the most important.
Chen Dujing's daughters are all married well, Li Mingyu is also an official gentry family in Fujian, and the family also has a mansion, and the daughter who married in the past is not afraid of being offended.
I prefer the youngest daughter Chen Dujing, and the dowry is a lot more, but the eldest daughter will not be jealous, after all, they are married to officials, but the younger sister is married to the Hou Mansion, and the number of etiquette is one level higher than that of ordinary officials.
The family is a big family, and family affection should be talked about, and it is also necessary to talk about the power of connections.
The stronger Xu Zixian's strength is, the more dowry the younger sister has, and the other sisters will only be happy, because if it is their own family power, it will also soar a lot.
This kind of thing is unimaginable for ordinary people, so why do you want to make such a small profit? Xu Zixian's future power map will be divided into some at will, which is not enough for everyone to get rich?
"Thank you, Father." Chen Wenjun stood up, squatted for a blessing, and a smile appeared on her beautiful face, she felt the love of her father and brother quite obviously, as for Xu Zixian, the future husband, she has now given her the power of a lot of things to the future mother of the Hou Mansion, and she is loved by thousands of people, what else is there to say?
……
Compared with Chen Wenjun's satisfaction, Xu Zixian's face was much more gloomy.
It has been more than ten days since he took office in Qizhou, and he first became familiar with official affairs in the state government, and then asked Chen Zuocai, Chen Daojian and others to familiarize themselves with the government affairs process, so he could not make mistakes in official affairs.
Xu Zixian himself, surrounded by Wu Weisan and others, inspected the preparedness situation in Qizhou and other places.
Fang Shaoqun has been following, although he is not close enough, but now it is clear inside and outside the Hou Mansion that the most relied on and trusted by the prince is this Mr. Xiao Fang who has followed down from the Jingshi.
These days, Xu Zi's first focus is on Shangzhai.
Shangzhai is halfway up Qishan, Xu Zi first followed a team of supplies to Shangzhai together.
The last time I came here was seven or eight years ago, when Xu Zixian was still a teenager, I only remember that it was not easy to travel along the way, he has been groggy and half-asleep, sometimes lying in his father's arms, sometimes sleeping on the sedan chair set up by the mountain people, covered with thick bedding, even in summer, due to the windy and humid cold on the mountain, especially on the mountainside, it is much colder than at the foot of the mountain.
Xu Zixian always remembered that when he woke up, his father covered the quilt for him......
The memories of his youth are blurred, and Xu Zixian only remembers the scattered villages at the foot of the mountain, the uneven and sharpened wooden fence walls, and then the sheep intestine path from the foot of the mountain to the mountainside.
Shangzhai is built on a flat land on the mountainside, it is also an area enclosed by a large wooden fence, there are several arrow towers, more than 500 soldiers are stationed, there is a small school field, there are more than a dozen arrow targets, an armory, a military food depot, a shed area where the soldiers sleep, and a lonely martial arts hall, after the martial arts hall is the small courtyard where Shangzhai is commanded to live, there are more than 20 houses, there is no extra decoration, after all, from the foot of the mountain all the way, the most precipitous place donkey can not go, can only carry the burden with the shoulder to send supplies to Shangzhai, If it weren't for the Qishan bandits, how could there be any use in building a military village on such a steep mountainside?
It is also that the peak is too steep, and the largest place can only accommodate dozens of people to stand, otherwise, I am afraid that the people who built the village will repair the military village to the peak of Qishan Mountain.
There were also a lot of beacon towers along the way, and some thin, numb soldiers of the Xiang Army were holding tattered long guns or iron spears, and watched Xu Zixian and others pass by indifferently.
When they knew that it was the new defense envoy and the Shangzhai commander, these soldiers came to life, and they were busy saluting Xu Zi first.
Xu Zixian's face was ugly, not because the road to Shangzhai was difficult, but because Li Xingwu and Dong Ruixiang were still holding on, not only did they not come to visit, but they couldn't get sick several times.
Xu Zixian has lost patience, if these two people are still so stubborn and do not obey orders, after going down the mountain, Xu Zixian will use the excuse that he will not be able to manipulate it, impeach the two old qualified commanders, and even check the ordnance, check the empty amount, check the logistics and military supplies, and some are ways to clean up these two thorns.
Before that, it was just to give King Qi face, these two thorns showed some things, and they probably wanted to bargain, Xu Zi didn't come to visit the mountains and rivers first, he would definitely deal with Chen Yutai, the two thorns were estimated to be Xu Zi's first to use them, first raise the price, and ask Xu Zi to pay back the money on the spot, anyway, Nan Anhou used them, so he had to be courteous.
Xu Zixian felt a little disgusted in his heart, these two people had a good relationship with Da Ge Erge before, and they were also fierce generals who could fight, what kind of people have they become over the years?
The Xiang army is such a general, and it is strange that they can fight a good battle.
