Chapter Seventy-Eight: Donating Money and Raising Funds (3)
In the thick of the night, a large group of people walked out of the Minyi Restaurant, followed a small sedan chair to the direction of the dock, no one spoke in the dark, everyone was thinking about their hearts, but everyone's eyes emitted the same fiery gaze, which was the desire and yearning for wealth.
The tradition of Chinese people is first of all to invite guests to dinner, on the wine table, under the burning of alcohol, strangers can become friends, friends can become brothers, and even feuds can be turned into jade, the so-called a cup of turbid wine is enmity, this is the principle, which is also the essence of Chinese wine table culture.
But wine is just a favor, although the words that are usually not easy to say can be easily exported on the wine table, and the things that are usually difficult to do can be twice the result with half the effort at the wine table, but not everything can be done at the wine table, which needs to be induced by profit.
This is what Li Qing wants to do now, if he only raises three or five hundred guan as Wang Changling said, there is no need for him to go to such great lengths, changing wine glasses, and looking for matchmakers, as long as he says it, with the face of his county order, these three or five hundred guan can be easily obtained.
But what he wants is 5,000 or even more, of which 3,000 are to build a wharf, 1,000 to run an official school, and he also wants to repair the county government, which can not be done by alcohol, but also needs profits, and must be exchanged for real benefits, now Li Qing has successfully inspired everyone's dream of making a fortune, and the next step is to go to the dock site, so that everyone can see and touch the wealth.
The wharf of Yibin County is about 50 zhang long, and can only accommodate ten medium-sized ships at the same time at most, and the people and goods are mixed, the place is narrow, and it is very inconvenient to get on and off the ship, if Yibin County can not seize this opportunity to renovate the wharf in time, the big merchant ships will go to the upstream Jiazhou to dock, according to Li Qing's idea, he is ready to build a new wharf in the north of the current wharf, which is specially used for freight, and the current wharf is changed to passenger transportation, so that passengers and freight can be diverted from the two places.
The site of the new wharf is about 100 steps away from the current wharf, it is also a gentle hill slope, there is a large open space on it, it was originally a piece of overgrown weeds, wild foxes infested with mass graves, after the war in eastern Yunnan, the army stationed in Yibin County was temporarily used as a military camp station, now the war in eastern Yunnan has gradually subsided, and there has been a knife theft incident, the military has decided not to store military supplies in Yibin County, which is 'bad public security', and the garrison has also withdrawn, which is cheap Li Qing, saving a lot of land leveling fees.
Everyone followed the county magistrate to the dock, but they didn't see the sedan chair, but continued to walk forward, everyone was secretly surprised, could it be that these two sedan chair drivers also drank too much? Zhang Wang turned his head and beckoned to everyone, signaling to follow, there is a trail connected between the dock and the mass grave, through the path, in front of a black pine forest, only the sound of insects in the ears is heard, suddenly there is a night owl startled, fluttering to the night sky, the looming full moon drifts in the gray veil, a group of people in the moonlight with a strange sedan chair in the mass grave stiff forward, if this scene is bumped into by the people who get up at night, the glutinous rice in Yibin County must be out of stock the next day.
For many people, this is just a place to remind them of their childhood memories, "knowing that there are children catching and weaving, and a light falls on the fence in the middle of the night" The children do not know what they are afraid of, digging crickets, catching grasshoppers, leg bones as swords, and heads as urinals, and at this time the graves are flat, only scattered with some broken cans and hemp that even beggars can't look at.
The sedan chair landed on a clearing, and everyone's footsteps also stopped, not understanding why the county magistrate had brought them here. Li Qing walked slowly to the riverside with his hands behind his back, and under the moonlight, he saw the Minjiang River like a black jade belt, low and majestic, stretching to the end of the sky, the stars were hanging down and the plains were wide, and the moon was surging into the river.
After a while, he looked back at this vacant land of about 100 acres, and said with a slight smile: "I brought you here to tell everyone that this place is going to become the most prosperous place in Yibin County." ”
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, and they didn't know what the county magistrate meant by this, and no one dared to speak, Li Qing smiled and continued: "Everyone also knows that our current wharf is too small to dock a few ships at all, so I discussed with Wang Xiancheng and prepared to build a new freight wharf here, which can dock twenty large ships at the same time. ”
After the painstaking teaching of the restaurant, everyone understood the huge wealth contained in it, and they were the first people to enter this treasure cave, and everyone couldn't help but scatter and look around at the land that they had forgotten.
The nearest place here is only ten zhang away from the side street, only two rows of houses, you can build a road through it, and the terrain is neat, if you make good use of it, you can build a hundred houses, everyone seems to have become a planner, in their own minds each drew a sketch, but it is much the same, pick a banner at the intersection to open a restaurant; Plant an old locust tree, and there is a brothel behind it, and the sister can lean on the door and smile to welcome visitors from all directions; There is an inn on the front street, with good service and making people feel like going home; The backstreet is a gambling house, with two Biao men standing on both sides of the gate; Perhaps, it is also necessary to build a temple of the God of Wealth, and burn two pillars of high incense if there is nothing to do.
Li Qing looked at everyone with his hands on the side and smiled silently, his face was soft, his eyes flashed with a faint light, a gust of night wind blew, his hair fluttered in the air, at this moment his mentality has slowly changed from shearing people's wool to teaching people to fish, his limbs are relaxed, and an undeniable hope and joy arise in his heart.
This is a piece of terra nullius, owned by the government, this is his biggest capital, from the beginning, he did not plan to use the method of fundraising to repair the wharf, but is ready to raise funds through the sale of land, just like the development zone in the later generations, the government only needs to invest a little upfront capital to do a good job of seven links and one level, and the rest can be completely developed by selling land.
But Li Qing didn't want to do anything to attract investment, he wanted to support a group of big businessmen in the county, so that Yibin County could have the stamina for long-term development, like that later generation, what the world's top 500, what introduced a number of dollars, just glamorous, but in the end just made a wedding dress for others, only let the local people develop, wealth can finally stay in Yibin County, so he would rather sell the land cheaper, than this little immediate profit.
Gradually, everyone returned to the county magistrate, and everyone's eyes were full of excitement, as if they had only discovered today that this mass grave was actually the ancestral grave of Zhao Gongming's family.
"Everyone, I don't need to say it, I think everyone understands! This piece of land is about 100 acres in total, and according to the advantages and disadvantages of the lot, each mu ranges from 50 to 80 acres. ”
Li Qing saw that most of the people's eyes were flickering after listening to the price, knowing that they must be speculating on the idea of selling the land, he was prepared, and said: "This price is about thirty percent lower than the old wharf, and the price will rise sharply in the future, I sell it cheaply, that is because there is an additional condition, I don't care whether you run it yourself or become a landlord, but there is one rule, the owner of the store must be from this county, if you buy the land and sell it to outsiders, I'm sorry, the land is recovered, the money will not be returned, everyone has to think about it for themselves." ”
Hearing this condition, many people were silent, not understanding why such restrictions are necessary since they want everyone to get rich, perhaps this is the difference in the length of each person's vision, the wise look at tomorrow, the mediocre only look at the present, and the fool recalls the past.
It's a pity that most of these people are mediocre people, they may know that Yibin County will be prosperous in the future, but the immediate benefits are more tempting, and they can earn dozens of yuan by changing hands on one acre of land.
At this time, Zhao Tuo suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't you understand the hard work of adults? The adults want us Yibin County people to benefit themselves, so as not to let the fat water flow out. ”
He waved his arms, his gray-white goatee moving up and down, and his old eyes sparkled, full of an elder's understanding of life, "Don't you think about it?" If you want to make money from this land, will you invite everyone to dinner? ”
If the county order is a little darker, they will eat this land, and then sell it to foreign giants, this comes and goes, and the difference in the middle is more than a thousand, it can be seen that this county order is still a little conscience, is really want to do something for Yibin County, so, driven by that Zhao Tuo, under the catalysis of alcohol stamina, all the people will beat their chests loudly, and promise that they will definitely pass this land as an ancestral industry from generation to generation, if this oath is violated in the future, Lord Li can take back the land at any time to Yunyun.
Li Qing smiled slightly, take it back at any time? Do you want to be a county magistrate here for the rest of your life?
"Huh! As long as everyone doesn't sell it now, when we develop in Yibin County, it will give you a higher price, I'm afraid you are reluctant to sell, this matter is so decided, early tomorrow morning, if you want to buy land, you can go to Wang County Cheng to go through the procedures, a good lot is first-come, first-served, subject to payment. ”
