Chapter 734 Water Transport Dock
Liu Jinyu's proposal is definitely conducive to the economic development of several counties, so although some people oppose the Minister of the Wind Country, they are only against the issue of cost, and no one says Liu Jinyu's proposal for troops.
Therefore, Lu Chen decided to accept Liu Jinyu's suggestion at the moment, and at the same time as the Ministry of Industry proposed it, he also wrote a letter and passed it to Liu Jinyu.
The hard-won post-war loss was defeated by him again.
And in Longxi, after receiving Lu Chen's letter, Liu Jinyu didn't expect that the king's decision would be so fast, and he had already begun to order the Ministry of Industry.
You must know that when it is completed, Longxi's economy will be developed, which is a political achievement! While he was happy, he immediately began to prepare for the construction of a cargo terminal.
To build a wharf, naturally there is no need for the imperial court to allocate silver, but this time the Longxi wharf can be built is not small, and Liu Jinyu also personally went to the place where it was built and commanded the construction.
An official walked over with the construction plan and said, "My lord, the docking points of large merchant ships, the lower official means, can set up ten places first." ”
"Huh?" Liu Jinyu waved his hand and said, "It is conceivable how many goods will take the waterway at that time, ten is too little, and twenty are marked." ”
After the construction of the Longxi wharf this time, many businessmen also perceived business opportunities, including many local ruffians, and many people began to contact the government to obtain a docking point for merchant ships.
The waterway has not yet been opened, but countless businessmen have come to the door, and the Longxi government is in a hurry, and finally under the command of Liu Jinyu, the government has allocated 20 merchant ship docking points in the form of auctions.
The profits of waterway freight can be imagined, and after the merchants got the docking point of the merchant ships, they immediately planted the flags of their own businesses in their respective places.
However, at this time, an unexpected person came to Longxi, that is, Murong Ying.
Murong Ying is Murong Qing's cousin, after the last impeachment of Li Gongfu, he was stripped of his title by Lu Chen, but this did not affect the power of the Murong family, Murong Ying is not overbearing in Nanyang now, but began to be a businessman, his business, with the power of the family, is also in full swing, and various industries are involved.
The purpose of his coming to Longxi is very simple, that is, to get the Longxi wharf, and with his ability, it is naturally very simple to learn about this business opportunity and news.
When he arrived, the various docks had already been allocated by the government, but what Murong Ying wanted was not just a merchant ship dock, but the entire dock.
At this time, he was taking a group of family members to watch at the Longxi Wharf, looking at the flags of the various businesses at the stop, Murong Ying sneered, pointed to a place and said: "What Chen firm, pull out the broken flag for me and replace it with our Murong family!" ”
"Yes!" As soon as he gave the order, the family members immediately began to act, stepped forward one after another, pulled out the flag of the Chen family's firm, and then replaced it with the name of Murong firm, but such behavior, how could the shopkeeper of the Chen family stop, after hearing the news, he quickly brought a group of people to find him, and then, the two sides disagreed and began to fight.
Although the shopkeeper of the Chen family is also a businessman, compared with Murong Ying, how can he have more family members, and as a result, he was beaten up a lot, and he immediately sued the government.
After the government accepted it, it immediately summoned Murong Ying and the Chen family shopkeeper, in the official mansion, the Chen family shopkeeper first knelt on the ground, and then said to the officials above: "My lord! Murong Ying is arrogant and unreasonable! The docking point of the merchant ships under is obtained by the government auction before, but Murong Ying forcibly occupied it, and even injured many family members in my house, and I hope that the lord will make the decision for me! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for the official to answer, Murong Ying was already standing there and said unhurriedly: "Shopkeeper Chen, that stop, I can give you double the price, how about giving it to me?" ”
"You want to be beautiful!" How could the shopkeeper Chen be willing.
"Silence!" At this time, the official also slapped the table heavily, then looked at Murong Ying, and shouted coldly: "Dare to Diao Min!" In front of this official, dare not kneel! ”
Hearing this, Murong Ying chuckled and said, "My lord, let me kneel?" ”
"Huh!?" The official was stunned.
Murong Ying continued: "Do you know the identity of this son? If I kneel on you, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it! ”
When he said this, the officials almost got their noses crooked when they heard it! couldn't help but slap the table again, and shouted: "Bold! ”
It's just that he has just spoken, and Murong Ying has already tilted his head slightly and said, "This son is the cousin and cousin of the two ladies of the king!" Do you really want me to kneel!? ”
"What did you say?" Hearing this, the official's eyes immediately widened, and he stammered a little and asked, "What...... Which two ladies ......?"
"Murong Qing, Murong Xue!" Murong Ying said directly.
"Huh!?" When the official heard this, he was immediately shocked, he first swallowed his saliva, and then his expression became extremely ugly, and at the same time he looked at the Chen family shopkeeper who was kneeling below, and finally could only say: "This matter, the official has no right to decide, and it needs to be reported to the above, you two should step down first." ”
As he spoke, he got up and left the place directly.
Now that Murong Yingyu knows his identity, he is the cousin and cousin of Mrs. Wang, how dare the official offend, after going down, he also directly reported the matter to Liu Jinyu.
After hearing this, the latter also frowned, now Murong Ying wants to pay double the price and buy those merchant ship docks, but many merchants are not willing to sell at all, and this kind of civil dispute, Liu Jinyu is unlikely to alarm the king.
It's just that he didn't pass on Lu Chen, but Murong Ying sent a letter directly to Murong Qing.
In the letter, he told his sister that he had now arrived in Longxi, thinking about the freight business at Longxi Wharf, and hoped that his sister could help him.
After Murong Qing read the letter, he thought about it for a while, and decided to mention the matter in front of Lu Chen.
And it didn't take long for Lu Chen to come to her.
Now Murong Qing is pregnant, after Lu Chen sat down, she was also about to get up and pour tea for her, but Lu Chen grabbed her and said with a smile: "Qing'er, you are incapacitated, I'll come by myself." ”
As he spoke, he also picked up the teapot himself and poured a cup of tea.
Murong Qing sat down beside him, took his arm and said, "Wang, the cousin of the concubine, Murong Ying, has recently done some business in Longxi, and he wanted to get some wharf freight, but the local merchants and the government have all excluded him......"
"Huh?" Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, took a sip of tea and said, "What do you want to say?" ”
"The king, the concubine wants to help him." Murong Qing looked at Lu Chen pitifully.
