Chapter Eighty-Four: Pretending to be in progress
"Then I wonder how much money Mr. Wang plans to invest in building the city wall?"
If it weren't for the financial problem, the country of Qiuzi would have planned to build the city wall in Alahag, but there was no money, and even the walls of the royal city had fallen into disrepair, where did the money come from to build the city wall in Alahag?
"This is not clear, after all, Alahag said that it is not big or small, and I don't know much about the prices in the Western Regions, so I am expected to invest 300,000 yuan for the time being.
Mo Shuyu didn't know how much to say, but since he planned to settle here, and the geographical location of Allahag was on the main transportation route in the Western Regions, countless merchants passed by nearby every day. Presumably, as long as he has built Allahag into an impregnable form, and there are countless goods that attract merchants to come, it must not be difficult to build Allahag into an economic pearl in the desert.
Then it doesn't seem to be a loss to invest 300,000 guan in the early stage, anyway, this area will be considered your own at that time, so you should spend 300,000 guan to buy land.
"Shhh
The two brothers of Boyi and Bojin listened to Mo Shuyu's words, and their hearts tightened, and they really deserved to be wealthy Tang businessmen, and they opened their mouths to 300,000 yuan, which was the financial income of Qiuzi Country for several years.
"Good! Mr. Wang is really rich! I have heard that Datang is rich for a long time, but I can't imagine that it is so rich, presumably 300,000 yuan is just a drop in the bucket for Mr. Wang. ”
Bo Yi was also mixed with joy and sorrow, and began to think that Mo Shuyu was just a stupid son of a landlord with a lot of money, and thought that he was expected to return to Qiuzi, but he didn't expect that Mo Shuyu's financial resources might not even be a problem to buy Qiuzi.
"Hehe, it's not, it's just that Wang is now planning to carry out his own business activities in the Western Regions, and naturally he has to invest heavily in order to have a return. 300,000 is not a big amount for me, but it's crazy to say that it's small, but it's medium. ”
Mo Shuyu also pretended to be forced to the end, and followed the words of the two brothers.
"Okay, in that case, I will play the king tomorrow, agree to Mr. Wang's request, and make a lot of money with Mr. Wang in the future!"
If it was said in the past, Bo Jin was afraid that he would have to investigate Mo Shuyu's financial resources, but since he came to Allahag and met Mo Shuyu's subordinates, he found that he was just a frog at the bottom of the well.
Even King Qiuzi's personal guards have to eat and drink once in a few days, but Mo Shuyu's subordinates not only eat big fish and meat, but also smell the fragrance of the wine they drink, it seems that it is really elixir! Oh my God, in the Western Regions, he actually drank it for his subordinates every day? I'm afraid this is a kind of financial performance.
In fact, this is just Mo Shuyu deliberately confusing the two brothers, he is really penniless now, if it weren't for the noble family in Datang, Uncle Fu brought him a lot of expensive jewelry, I'm afraid it would be a problem to even eat now.
"I wonder when Mr. Wang plans to start building the city wall?"
Bo Yi is also in a hurry, Mo Shuyu doesn't seem to be preparing to build the city wall now, and he hasn't even investigated the situation around Alahag, since he entered Alahag, he seems to have been taking a bath? Don't know that water is precious in the desert?
"This, building the city wall is not an overnight thing, and there is a lack of materials in the desert, I wonder if the two generals can find some businessmen for Wang?"
Although Mo Shuyu met a lot of businessmen along the way, and basically said that he needed all kinds of materials, but the businessmen said it separately whether they believed it or not, and he didn't say a specific location at that time, I'm afraid that even if a businessman believed his words and brought all kinds of materials that he urgently needed, he couldn't find his people.
"This, I wonder what supplies Mr. Wang needs?"
Now that they have reached a sense of cooperation, they will naturally have to help if they can help, Mo Shuyu is unfamiliar with the place and has no prestige, I am afraid that even if the news of the need for materials is spread, there will be no businessmen who will come all the way to transport stones and other things that do not make money.
"We have a kind of sacred artifact for construction in Datang, do you know?"
"Mr. Wang is talking about cement?"
Bojin was overjoyed, and he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected surprise this time.
Originally, cement was just a lonely and unknown object, because Li Shimin listened to Mo Shuyu's suggestion and built a large number of cement fortresses under the city of Songzhou, which allowed the Tang Dynasty to hold on for several months under the attack of Tubo and the counterattack of the Turks.
"Well, walls made of cement are stronger and quicker to build."
If you want to say who knows cement best, I'm afraid it's still Mo Shuyu in this era. Cement to build the city wall, not only quickly save money, but also strong, as long as you don't cut corners to prevent the earthquake and thunder, it is easy.
