Hearing Cao Fang say this, Zhu Hongsan asked, "Old Cao, how can I believe you when you say that?" ”

"Lord Wang, I want to confront Zhang Tiju!"

"Lao Cao, don't confront you, I'll give you a chance to prove your innocence."

Hearing that the King of Chu let himself go, Cao Fang hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Don't worry, no matter what, I will do it for the prince." ”

"Okay, then I'll give you a chance to prove your innocence." After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he called Zhu Hongyi and said: "Zhu Hongyi, take this old Cao who pulls his pants, let him kill Zhang Tiju's whole family with his own hands, remember, kill Zhang Tiju in the end." Also, let all the officials of the city department come and watch. ”

Cao Fang didn't expect to prove his innocence in such a way, and the whole of Guangzhou knew that Zhang Tiju was his cronies. In order to save his life, he killed Zhang Tiju's whole family, and he couldn't mix in Guangzhou in the future.

Zhu Hongsan saw Cao Fang and began to hesitate, and said unhurriedly: "Old Cao, you think about it, either you die, or he dies, pick it yourself." ”

Cao Fang is now holding a knife on his neck, just think about it, it is better for him to die than to die himself. Thinking of this, Cao Fang said: "In the future, I will be the prince's dog, please take me in." ”

Zhu Hongsan laughed and said, "Let's go do this first, and we'll talk about your business later." ”

Zhu Hongyi escorted Cao Fang out to execute Zhang Tiju's family.

Feng Ziyong has been watching Zhu Hongsan coldly rectify the scum of the city, these guys are doing all kinds of evil under the banner of the emperor, so Zhu Hongsan cleaned them up ruthlessly, and Feng Ziyong didn't say anything.

But later, forcing Cao Fang to kill Zhang Tiju's whole family was a bit beyond Feng Ziyong's bottom line, and when he saw Cao Fang go out, Feng Ziyong was about to open his mouth to say that this matter was a bit inappropriate.

But he didn't expect Zhu Hongsan to find out that Feng Ziyong was going to speak, Zhu Hongsan said first: "Sir, don't intercede with them, this Zhang Tiju They actually spoke foul language to the princess on the dock, and it would be difficult to calm the king's anger if they didn't kill them." ”

Feng Ziyong heard that there was still such a thing, since Zhang Tiju and these guys were looking for death, then don't complain about King Chu's ruthlessness.

Feng Ziyong opened his mouth and said: "There are ten days to go before the New Year, I don't know what happened to the lord in Guangzhou?" ”

"It's nothing, Xiaofang and they said that they had never been to Guangzhou, and they wanted to come to Guangzhou for a visit, so I also joined in the fun."

Feng Ziyong said with a smile: "Lord, don't you all come to Guangzhou to accompany the princess." ”

"What's that, stop by to see how the second brother's Guangzhou New Town is doing."

This is the point, Feng Ziyong knows this lord very well, he is vulgar and unwritten on the surface, but he is as careful as a hair. I made a new urban area outside Guangzhou according to the Dongguan Development Zone, and I must come to see it with Zhu Hongsan's temperament.

Feng Ziyong has been in office for two months at the end of the year, and Feng's self-use ability and prestige are not lacking, so he is really at home in Guangzhou for these two months.

Guangzhou is now the largest city in Lingnan, with a population of hundreds of thousands, and Feng found that people in Guangzhou have a strong sense of doing business on the first day. Therefore, after more than ten days of research, Feng Ziyong decided to copy the successful model of Dongguan and build a development zone outside Guangzhou. But the name is not so foreign, just called New Town.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the plan that Feng Ziyong brought, this is basically a copy of the Dongguan Development Zone, first collect land, then level the land, attract investment, and finally a hundred flowers bloom, nothing new. Even the planned commercial projects are similar to those in Dongguan, with some steel mills, canneries and so on.

Zhu Hongsan shook his head after reading it, Feng Ziyong saw that Zhu Hongsan was not very satisfied, and said, "Lord, but what's wrong with the project?" ”

Feng Ziyong was very satisfied with the project book he had made, and he was ready to collect 50,000 mu of land in the early stage, and also made plans for industrial zones and commercial areas.

Zhu Hongsan also knew that it was already very good to be able to independently come up with such a plan at the level of a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and he still didn't want to be harsh on the ancients.

Zhu Hongsan put down the plan and explained: "Sir, your plan itself is perfect, and all preparations are sufficient. The terms of upfront investment, post-management, etc., are clear, and a plan itself is successful. ”

Feng Ziyong was stunned, it took him ten days of hard work, plus the help of the staff brought out from Dongguan, to get the plan, why does it seem that the King of Chu is not very satisfied?

Feng Ziyong asked, "Lord, is there anything you are not satisfied with?" It's still too late to be modified. ”

Zhu Hongsan said: "Mr. made this plan without taking into account the actual situation in Guangzhou. Sir, please see, you are planning 5,000 acres of land here for the construction of a steel plant, but Guangzhou is not an iron and steel center, and all the people and property of this steel plant have to be imported from other places, which has caused waste. And now two-thirds of Guangdong's steel business is in Dongguan, and Mr. opened a steel factory in Guangzhou, isn't that his own business? ”

Zhu Hongsan's words Feng Ziyong listened very seriously, he used to look down on Zhu Hongsan, thinking that he was a sect that did not learn and did not know how to learn. However, the success of Dongguan Development Zone made Feng Ziyong look at Zhu Hongsan with admiration, so this time Zhu Hongsan's explanation of Feng Ziyong really went to his heart.

After listening to this, Feng Ziyong asked, "Then may I ask my lord, what is suitable for this place in Guangzhou?" ”

Zhu Hongsan found that the Ming Dynasty scholars were very short-sighted, but there was no way to do this, the times were limited. This group of people under his own command is not bad, at least this Feng Ziyong did not brush his sleeves when he listened to his plan to belittle him.

Zhu Hongsan said: "In a place, there is no agriculture, no stability, no work, no wealth, no business, no life. The reason why Dongguan is successful is because the place is stagnant, so everyone who engages in industry is rich, and naturally lives and works in peace and contentment. Is there still a shortage of money in Guangzhou? There is a lot of silver buried in the underground, in the back garden, and in the pond of every house in this city. What we have to do is to turn the dead silver into living silver, and let the silver circulate, so that we can receive more taxes. ”

This idea was really novel, Feng Ziyong hurriedly lowered his posture and arched his hand and said, "May I ask my lord, how can I make the silver circulate?" ”

Zhu Hongsan took a sip of water and said: "It's very simple, everyone is profit-oriented, when people see that there are greater opportunities to make money, they will naturally take out the silver and invest in it, haven't you found anything developed in Guangzhou?" That is entrepot trade, and Guangzhou is now the first stop for Nanyang Franco's man-made sea vessels to China, and also the first stop for them to purchase goods. Understanding this is the way out for the development of Guangzhou's new urban area. ”

Zhu Hongsan's words made Feng Ziyong's heart itch, and he hurriedly asked: "Lord, we are all our own people, don't say half of what I should do, please tell the lord what I should do." ”

Zhu Hongsan smiled, he said this to inspire Feng Ziyong. It's not that the ancients didn't have this mind, they just didn't have enough knowledge. Zhu Hongsan said: "You should build a big market in the new urban area, so that all merchants in Guangzhou can show their goods in the market, so that the merchants of the Franco machine do not have to go door-to-door, go to see, and bargain, and complete the one-stop production and marketing in this market." ”

Zhu Hongsan's idea is to plagiarize the routine of the Canton Fair in later generations, but it can be regarded as a great innovation three hundred years ago.

Feng Ziyong sat on the chair and pondered for a long time, and said, "Lord, is this feasible?" ”

Zhu Hongsan thought to himself that it was feasible, you didn't see how many sessions the Canton Fair has been held in the future, and the country has made a lot of money.

Zhu Hongsan said to Feng Ziyong: "Mr. just do it, there are very few merchants who should go to participate in the early stage, and give them appropriate discounts, such as reducing the price of land." When it becomes bigger and stronger, sir, it will be the most developed and powerful place in South China. ”

Feng Ziyong was skeptical, but Zhu Hongsan had done some things before, but all of them were to make money.

Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and said: "Sir, don't put out the land at once, put 10,000 mu first, and the expenses in the next few years will come from these lands." ”

For the appreciation of land, Feng Ziyong believes in Zhu Hongsan very much, Dongguan Development Zone only covers an area of more than 20,000 acres, and he has earned millions of taels of silver. Now Guangzhou New Town has made 50,000 acres by itself, and it will not make a lot of money.

But Feng Ziyong didn't expect Zhu Hongsan's next sentence to be even more scary, Zhu Hongsan said: 50,000 mu is a bit insufficient, get another 50,000 mu. ”
