Chapter 582: Building the East of the City
"Good boy, I didn't expect you to have this hand." Qin Forget strode down, patted Chen Chuhao's arm vigorously, and praised loudly.
"Hehe, carving insect skills, carving insect skills." After this episode, especially that bend, Chen Chuhao's head was also in a cold sweat, and he reluctantly smiled at Qin Wang.
"You're still carving insects, and others can't live." Qin Forget scolded with a smile, "Here, this is your winning bounty, forty taels of silver." ”
"What? And the bounty? Still forty taels? Seeing Xue Feiyun coming over with a plate of small silver, Chen Chuhao exclaimed in surprise.
Forty taels is not much, but it is also a month's expenses for ordinary gentlemen, and it is still the kind of lavish spending. Seeing the silver of the white flowers coming up, the children of those families were all envious. Not to mention those ordinary people, their faces were full of amazement and they were all talking.
"General, this track is really cool, flat and exciting, it is simply the most ideal place for horse racing. That General Qin, can I come and play in my free time? Chen Chuhao asked.
"No, I built this track to make money, let you come and play casually, how else can I make money? Give you three days to play for free, and after ten days, you will be charged, but you have to pull someone for me, pull someone to play for free once, and don't even think about it. But whether you spend money or play for free, you have to sign a life and death certificate before you end up. As you can see, the track is so thrilling that I can't afford to take responsibility for something that happens. "Qin forgot to be right.
"No problem!" Hearing that they were going to sign a life and death certificate, these children of the family were not only not afraid, but even more excited. People like them are idle and bored, and the more exciting things they are, the more they like them. After agreeing, they all cheered and rushed to the two carriages.
"General, with such a thrilling track, won't there be a problem with letting these children of the family play?" Seeing the thrilling scene just now, Chen Chumo said worriedly.
"It won't be much trouble for you and me to do what you want." Qin Forget didn't take this matter to heart at all, "Chu Hao, I see that you are a middle and veteran, can you recruit some talents in this area for me?" You know, it's not okay for such a big business to be watched by no one. ”
"There are really a few old acquaintances under him, all of them are proficient in this, the most powerful one is called Li San, who is my master, and I politely said that I am not worthy of lifting shoes for him with this means, and no one in the entire Youzhou can compare to him." Chen Chuhao thought about it slightly, and patted his chest and said.
"Great, Chu Hao, this matter will be left to you, I will definitely pull them over." Hearing Chen Chuhao say this, Qin Forget was overjoyed, and Chen Chuhao also readily agreed.
In just ten days, Qin Wang's horse racing track became famous. The thrilling track and the lack of being strictly controlled by the emperor have attracted ninety percent of the children of the entire Youzhou.
Now the racecourse has charged fifty taels of silver per race, and those gentlemen paid it without blinking an eye. After more than a dozen games a day, Qin Forget really made a lot of money. Not only that, such a wonderful game can attract 20,000 or 30,000 Youzhou people to watch the game every day. Only three or four thousand of these people could afford to pay thirty cents per head to climb to the observation decks on a few hills, and the rest had to watch the race from the side of the track.
The arrival of a large number of ordinary people made the popularity of the eastern part of the city gather rapidly. With such a large market, countless small
Merchants and vendors also flocked to the market, selling food and knick-knacks. Qin Forget was not as lenient with them as he was with the Chicheng vendors, and the tax of ten cents per stall could not be less. And it is forbidden for them to spend the night in the horse farm, otherwise they will not become merchants?
In particular, as soon as the gold signboard inscribed by Cao Ziwen was hung, the carriage yard became even more famous. For more than ten days, the people of Youzhou were talking about this matter, and such a novelty aroused everyone's interest. Naturally, some businessmen with a keen sense of smell also noticed the business opportunities, and there was an endless stream of businessmen of all sizes who came to Qin Wang's place in the past few days.
Qin Forget warmly received them one by one, and depending on the location, Qin Forget rented out 10,000 mu of land at a price of 10 taels to 70 taels per mu per year, and this alone earned Qin Forget 500,000 taels of silver. And Qin Wang's conditions are far more than these, every year Qin Wang has to charge those shops a management fee of 20% of their profits, and the tax cannot be less. Cao Ziwen planned to fully implement this system in the whole Dayan after three months, such strict conditions angered almost all the businessmen, they originally wanted to stop doing this business altogether, but thinking of the huge popularity and future prospects of the carriage yard, as long as the businessmen with a little foresight pinched their noses and admitted.
The merchants who came to the carriage yard to do business were restaurants, teahouses, brothels, and silk businesses. The carriage yard is an entertainment venue, and these businesses are the most suitable. It is worth mentioning that there are many casinos that beg Qin Wang, but no matter how much price they offer, Qin Wangquan refused. Qin Forget is still counting on driving out of the hall to make a lot of money when he is racing in the carriage. This bookmaker, he won't let it out anyway.
In a very short period of time, a large amount of capital and manpower in Youzhou poured into the east of the city. In particular, hundreds of restaurants, teahouses, and brothels are under construction in prime locations such as a few hills and along more than a dozen tracks, and although each one is built to different specifications, the same thing is that the side facing the track is open. After completion, this place will definitely be full of friends, and countless people will watch the game while having fun, which is undoubtedly the greatest enjoyment for Youzhou people.
Looking at the thriving situation in front of him, Qin Forget was very satisfied.
"General, look at that black carriage, it's the latest. The axles are stronger and smoother, the carriage is much smaller, minimizing wind hindrance, but the chassis is much heavier and runs more smoothly. Luo Zhong pointed to a carriage in the distance that was speeding more than ten feet past his opponent, and said.
The black carriage was speeding forward at this moment driven by the master Chen Chuhao, far surpassing its opponent. Chen Chuhao didn't lie, Li San and these people are really the best, and after a few days of familiarizing themselves with the track, they immediately staged a thrilling visual feast for the people of Youzhou. Especially that Li San, who is simply a winning general, has already defeated more than a dozen opponents in just three days, and while earning rich returns for himself, he has also earned tens of thousands of taels of silver for Qin Wang, and even beat out the statement of the carriage field.
"Yes, Jin Xu's craftsmanship is getting better and better." Qin Forget nodded and praised, "I heard that he has improved the gunpowder formula and has used it in road opening and mining, how about it?" ”
"Naturally, it's easy to use, and the power of gunpowder is terrifying." Luo Zhong's face was a little palpitating, "There was a loud bang, like thunder, and then there was gunsmoke, and the chaotic times were flying, and no matter how big the stone was, it could be blown up."
Crushing and opening the way is countless times faster than pure artificial. However, there is a flaw, the buried explosion point is easy to misfire, but when it is manually handled, it will suddenly explode, because more than a dozen people have died. ”
"So unstable?" Qin Forget frowned, "Tell Jin Xu that if it's so unstable, don't use it for the time being, and use it when it's stable, human life is the most important thing." Also, let him train the explosives point for dealing with dumb fire, how can such a dangerous thing be done casually? ”
"Yes, I'll let him know." Luo Zhong nodded and agreed.
"How? How much did that carriage sell for? Qin Forget asked, pointing to the black carriage.
"Seven hundred taels, three hundred taels of war horses, a total of one thousand taels." Luo Zhong said excitedly.
"So much?" Qin Forget raised his eyebrows in surprise, "This is really a good business, let Jin Xu send a better carriage over from time to time, not too much, so that it can be sold at a good price." ”
"Yes, by the way, General, during this time, there were many children of the family who wanted to enter the competition with their own carriages, and their subordinates did not dare to make decisions on their own, so they were all stopped, General, you see ......" Luo Zhong asked.
"Hmm......" Qin Forget groaned slightly, "Yes, but they have to follow the rules." And Luo Zhong, not all carriages can get off the race, just take the black carriage as an example, a lot of changes have been made. If it is not restricted, it will definitely be chaotic, so how much weight must be met by the carriage in the next race in the future, and the length, width and height must also be regulated, and you will decide the specifics. Are the two brothers Zhao Xiong and Zhao Bao here? ”
"They have arrived, and they have brought more than two hundred intelligence officers, cleverly planted in various places. According to the general's instructions, he also opened two handicaps, one large and one small, and made a small profit of 70,000 or 80,000 taels. This is still the reason why the tea and horse market is not lively enough, and when it is more lively, we will definitely make a lot of money. Unexpectedly, the general still had the ability to make money, and Mrs. Chen specially sent a message to express her admiration. ”
Hearing Luo Zhong mention Chen Wan'er, Qin Wang's heart warmed slightly, he had been in Youzhou for half a year, and he really missed them, he really missed home, and he didn't know how the family was now.
"Okay, I'll leave it to you. Remember, those gentlemen have ill-gotten gains, and it is not cruel to kill them. "I'm going to leave, Qin Forget finally admonished.
"Don't worry, General, if you don't squeeze those fat pigs clean, your subordinates won't stop." Mr. Luo smiled evilly and nodded in agreement.
"General Qin, your people dare to stop the Royal Forest Army, so bold!" At this moment, an arrogant voice was heard in the distance.
Qin Forget turned around to look, there were fifteen or sixteen people wearing the uniforms of the Imperial Forest Army who were stopped by Xue Feiyun and others, shouting loudly in anger.
"Let them come!" How did the Guards come here? It looks like he wants to take people.
"General Qin, this is His Majesty's decree, ordering you to enter the palace immediately, if you disobey, you will be killed!" Flashing the hand in his hand at Qin Wang, the Royal Forest Army officer said in a deep voice.
Luo Zhong's face changed drastically, his body retreated slightly, and he glanced at a few small traders and tourists dressed not far away. Those people pretended to be unintentional and slowly moved closer to this side, and Xue Feiyun strode over with his subordinates, blocking the back path of these Royal Forest Army.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Qin Forget put his hand behind his back and waved it, stopped Luo Zhong, and said to the Royal Forest Army officer.
