Chapter 293: Future Trade City
The site planned by Bai Gui is not a little away from the castle, but a long way. On a modern scale, it should be more than 30 miles.
So! The third brother-in-law, who has always supported Bai Gui, doubted: Did his ears hear it wrong?
"Here you see! The soil here can't be cultivated at all, can it? Such a large area, not a single inch of grass grows, isn't it? Bai Gui waved his hand and gestured at the range.
Within the limits of his comparison, it is more desertified than elsewhere. Elsewhere, grass can grow. And here, nothing. Other than that! The terrain here is also very high. It's the kind of cushioned slope that gradually rises from all sides, and you can't tell it's a high slope until you stand in the distance.
Plainly! It's a wasteland.
It is most suitable to build a trade center here.
The traffic is also very good, because it is a high slope, as long as you build a house, you can see it from a distance. Lights up at night, like a lighthouse.
The placement of the trade and trade center here will not affect agricultural production, but also be safe.
"Let's start from here, build it diagonally with stones, and fill it with sand, is it a natural wall? Isn't it? This way! The terrain is gentle, and we can build houses here. After the rows of houses are built, is it a natural city wall? Over there! ……”
Bai Gui rode forward again, pointed with his finger and said, "The terrain is flatter, isn't it?" We can use it as a gate, a gate in and out of the business center. I've been watching, over there! Over there! And over there! The situation is basically the same, there are flat places. We can take advantage of the situation and use them as city gates......"
Under the leadership of Baekyu, everyone followed. It turned out that what Bai Gui and Bai Guanren said was not wrong. These four places are really flat and can be used as city gates. In other places, it seems to be a natural barrier, and with a little reconstruction, it can be used as a city wall.
In other places, the design of the white officials is: to build houses.
The place planned by Bai Gui has a radius of eight or nine miles, ten or so miles. On the top of the hillside, that is, on the ground within a radius of eight or nine miles, it is not absolutely flat, and there are more than a dozen small hills of varying heights.
Everyone ran back and forth on the hillside N times, only to realize that this is a high slope. At this time, everyone was even more convinced that Bai Guibai had noticed this place for a long time.
No wonder! Earlier, Bai Guanren was like a madman, and circled the hillside twice. Everyone didn't know what was going on and ran after him. But he was riding a bloody BMW, and no one could outrun him. At last! They all think of him as a madman.
This time, Bai Guilai rode his bloody BMW again. The last time I went back to Zhoudi, I was pregnant with a horse and couldn't ride it.
Last time! Sweaty BMW gave birth to a crossbred stallion. But! This horse is not an ordinary horse, but also a good horse with the potential of a thousand miles horse.
The sweaty BMW is still so strong and good at running. Seeing the long-lost owner, he was even more excited, showing his youth in front of the owner.
"All those who participated in the construction of the city wall were counted according to the prescribed size, and in the future, they were exempted from taxes. Other words! If you contribute money and effort to build the city wall now, then you will be exempt from paying taxes when you trade here in the future. If you do business in the Trade City for a long time, you will not be taxed. And you didn't participate in the construction of the city wall, and you had to pay taxes according to the rules of the market when you traded in the trading city. ”
In terms of the urban structure, that is, the construction of the trade city, Bai Gui's idea is that they first build the internal framework of the trade city, that is, plan out the streets. Where is the trading area, where is the leisure area, where is the warehouse, where is the residential area...... Piece by piece.
And then! Sell land.
You pay a certain deposit or materials first, and I will sell this land to you, and you can build a house on it later.
Sell the land in the trading area first.
In this part of the trading area, Bai Gui plans to do some infrastructure construction first. First of all, we will build the structure of a business zone and set up the market.
Only when there are more people who come here to trade, will more people and businessmen be attracted.
Only when there are more people and the market is prosperous, can the land be sold.
This is the territory of the deer park, so! The people of the deer park come here to develop, and the land can be sold to them at a discount. But! There must be conditions.
All the people of Deer Park come here to develop, and the land can be sold to you at a discount, but you must be able to build a house.
You can't enclose land and wait for it to appreciate.
We don't care if you build a house and then resell it to someone else. Because! We are now going to build houses and build a commercial city.
In terms of safety, Bai Gui also has ideas.
Once the trade center is moved to this side, it becomes isolated and security becomes a big problem. What to do?
It's not enough for businesses to protect themselves. In the face of powerful and ferocious robbers, a single merchant is weak. What to do?
Baekyu's idea was to draw out young and strong people from among the migrants, not to serve in the military, but to train as a security team.
If you come to the Trade City at night to train and participate in the mission of defending the Trade City, I will give you money! How much is a night.
Daytime! You go home and do farm work and develop agricultural production.
As you can imagine! It is absolutely not a problem to draw a security contingent of several hundred or thousands from among the tens of thousands of migrants.
Furthermore! The number of people protecting the mall every night is not much, two or three hundred people are enough.
Usually! The people of Linquan should send people to graze and guard in the surrounding area, and pay attention to the situation of foreign invasion. As soon as someone invades the depths of the grassland, the news is passed back immediately. On our side, we are ready for battle.
You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people.
The deer park is its own people, and it won't be like that. But! There are definitely petty thieves in the deer park. These people may gang up to steal and rob, or they may collude with the wicked people of other surrounding tribes to loot the trade city. So! Internal enemies should also be careful.
As long as you give money, there are countless people who want to be soldiers.
On the other side of the circumferential side, military service was mandatory. If it's not mandatory, no one wants it. Though! There are also certain preferential policies for military service. For example! When everyone is reluctant to serve in the military, families are given a certain amount of money or tax deductions.
On the Linquan side of Bai Gui: If you want to be a soldier, you have to participate in the evening training. You can work in the fields during the day and participate in training camps at night. The training camp does not affect your family life, on the contrary, you will have a little bit of a snack during training.
In order to earn that dim sum and go home for the baby to eat, no matter how hard and tired they are, they will come to participate in the training camp.
Only those who participate in the training camp are eligible to go to the trade city as guards and receive a salary.
One temptation after another will only attract more people to become soldiers.
Once a foreign enemy really invades, these people take up arms and are warriors. In order to protect their homeland, they will only fight to the death. When the time comes! Give them a few more rewards, and they'll only be more willing to fight.
This is a fight for oneself, not for the king's hegemony. So! Everyone will only be willing.
