Chapter 072: Land Lord
Gushan Town covers a vast area, and no one is polite in terms of land use, but even so, there are still large areas of wasteland left in the city, some of which are flat and familiar land, but because of the poor location, no one cares, and some are still forests and swamps and raw land overgrown with miscellaneous trees.
In the name of the City Bureau, Li Mao made a plan for the overall functions of the urban area of Gushan Town, and asked Yu Hualong to persuade him to hand over all these lands to the City Bureau, which would come forward to manage them.
When Li Mao opened a medical school in the city, Yu Hualong noticed it, but he didn't care, Li Mao fell seriously ill, almost lost his life, was bitten by a snake, and was afraid of the well rope for ten years, so he spared no expense to establish a medical school despite criticism.
When Li Mao recruited 2,000 Minzhuang to dredge the river, build a wharf in the east of the city, and level the land to set up a cattle, sheep, fish, and vegetable market, Yu Hualong also noticed that he even conducted a private visit to Weifu, he was not interested in building a wharf and three markets, he was interested in what method Li Mao used to coax 2,000 Minzhuang to the construction site, and worked for him without paying a penalty.
The result satisfied him, Li Mao just took advantage of a loophole, this move fully shows that he has the potential to be a profiteer, and there is nothing wrong with being a profiteer, at least he will make money, as long as he does not make trouble on his own territory, he can turn a blind eye.
Later, Li Mao applied to set up a factory in the city, and he really paid attention to it, he called Li Mao to the military academy, and the clerk came forward to talk to him, and he himself sat behind the screen to listen, Li Mao's stated idea was very bold, very novel, and sounded very feasible.
After Li Mao left, Yu Hualong completely put his mind at ease, and his comment on Li Mao was: flexible mind, greedy for money, and difficult to achieve great things.
With this understanding, Li Mao didn't bother to care about how he tossed.
He was in a very good mood on this day, and when he heard that Li Mao asked to see him, he asked the clerk: "What is the city bureau envoy going to toss again, and what kind of factory is his doing?" ”
The clerk smiled and said: "Coaxing a group of old ladies to work hard for him, if he can't do this little thing, wouldn't he live up to the general's trust in him." ”
Yu Hualong said: "Don't underestimate this person, it's really good at making money." ”
The clerk said: "That's nature, how can you waste your fame." ”
The two laughed, and while Yu Hualong was happy, the clerk helped Li Mao speak: "I saw the plan he made, and it was really implemented, and there was a lot of money to be made." ”
Yu Hualong said: "Speaking of which, it's still a money, money is really a good thing, no one can do without him." That's it, I don't see him, as long as I am dedicated to the public and don't do that hurtful thing, let him toss it. ”
Yu Hualong yawned, and the clerk took the opportunity to leave.
Li Mao was holding a roll of silk cloth drawings, waiting in the verandah, and when he saw the clerk coming out, he hurriedly greeted him. The clerk said: "When the envoy of the dignified city bureau came to the military courtyard, how could he stand under the corridor, how could this be the way of hospitality." Although the clerk is only a grain official, he has an extraordinary relationship with Yu Hualong, and his status is far above that of the general deputy general, and his fluttering words have the power to determine the fate of life and death, honor and disgrace.
Li Mao played a round and said: "The city bureau and the military academy are all one family, come to your own home, it's good to be casual, but if you are polite, you will be divided." Seeing that the little official's face was dark and uneasy, he felt greatly satisfied, so he joked with Li Mao: "Good you Li Maohua, good people have let you do it, but it seems that Wen is mean to others." ”
The two laughed and came to the west wing room of the second hall, the clerk is a grain officer, and he has his own duty room in the military courtyard, and there are dozens of subordinate officials, and the momentum can be compared to the deputy envoy of the soldiers and horses. This room was used by him when he joined the army, and he still served as a part-time soldier for a period of time after he was released to the grain yard.
The clerk likes to talk to people here, although the status of joining the army is not as good as that of the food and material envoys, but it is closer to the core of power, and for the clerk who knows the tricks of power, he knows what distance means.
The duty room is newly built, tall and spacious, and the lighting is also very good, but the furniture is much simpler, far less than the reality in the grain officer's duty room. Li Mao looked left and right, and still couldn't help but say: "The place is good, but it's a little depressing." ”
"Depressed? Hahaha. The clerk was slightly stunned, then laughed heartily, he sat down behind the public case, and when his eyes turned to Li Mao again, he unconsciously looked down on him: "Yu Hualong is right, this person has no ambitions, he knows how to make money, he is close to the core of power, he is said to be depressed, far away in the rivers and lakes, being a savage, it is not suppressed, but what does that mean, a manly man, how can he have no power for a day." ”
As soon as Li Mao sat down, he couldn't wait to unfold the drawings in his arms, which were made of silk cloth, and the depictions were very fine, and different areas were also used in different colors, which looked bells and whistles.
The clerk held the tea bowl and listened quietly, and after Li Mao finished speaking, he nodded slightly and said, "Maohua, you played big enough this time, 968,000 yuan!" The constant amount allocated by the imperial court to the soldiers is 18 per person per year, plus the cost of clothes for the four seasons and the repair of armor, a total of 20 yuan, plus the annual festival fee and various rewards, but 25 yuan per person per year! 4,000 people is 100,000. According to you, if we run this city well, we will suddenly have nearly ten years of military spending, this, this ...... Just you and my brothers, you tell me the truth, are you sure you're not bragging? ”
"Bragging?" Li Mao's face turned red all of a sudden, "When the time comes, if you want to come up with real money, how dare I open my mouth?" ”
The clerk looked at Li Mao with a smile and said: "As far as I know, the land price of Luoyang is only forty yuan per mu, how can our Gushan Town compare to Luoyang, ten yuan per acre of land, don't you think it is a little higher?" ”
Li Mao said: "Whether you are tall or not, it is not in my brother, nor in me, but in the right place and place at the right time." ”
At the moment, Li Mao said his idea of how to raise the price of land and scrape the land of Caozhou and the nearby six states, and the clerk stood up halfway through listening, pacing in the room with his hands behind his back, looking at his expression Li Mao knew that his words moved him, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart: "Only a person like the clerk can understand my hard work, this person has the talent of the world, and the future is great, I must have a good relationship with him." ”
Although his mind moved, his mouth was not idle, and after speaking, Li Mao picked up the tea bowl and drank the tea, and when he put down the tea bowl, he knew that he had served it wrong, and inadvertently drank the residual tea of the clerk, and quietly spit on the ground while the clerk was not paying attention.
As soon as Li Mao finished speaking, he came to his own conclusion, although it was difficult to carry out this matter, it was not impossible, there were successful examples of creating docks and factories first, and he believed that Li Mao could do it. Despite this, he still said: "It's a good thing, it's done to Gushan Town, but there are too many twists and turns in the middle, and the involvement is too big, and if you are not careful, the consequences are completely unpredictable." Maohua, in my opinion, it's better to be cautious in this matter. ”
Li Mao had already been mentally prepared, Yu Hualong would not respond positively to this kind of thing anyway, he came to report just to say hello and get to the bottom of it, as long as Yu Hualong did not explicitly oppose it, the goal would have been achieved.
Seeing that the clerk was swallowing, he said in his heart: "What is he a person in the officialdom, before doing anything, he must first pick himself up." What else can be expected of him? ”
"It is said that the new official has three fires, this is the third fire I burned, Brother Wen, but just listen to the good news."
"In this way, I wish you this third fire for my brother...... Immediately to success. ”
Sent Li Mao away, the clerk Cheng was proud in his heart, this matter was successful, he had the merit of presiding over the allocation, if he was out of the basket, he didn't say anything anyway and didn't do anything, so naturally he Li Mao went to the top tank, and he was invincible.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hum a little song that he taught Xinna's concubine last night, and after humming two sentences, his face suddenly changed.
"This Li Maohua, even my residual tea has to be drunk secretly, it's really ...... Fell into the eyes of money. ”
