Chapter 128: The Practical Lesson of the Six Arts Academy (Five Watches)
Bianjing of the Great Song Dynasty has countless halos, the largest population, the most prosperous economy, the largest scale, the most neat cityscape, the most prosperous culture, and the most abundant entertainment...... There are the most conscientious sewers, there is a sleepless nightlife, and a petty janitor is even more comfortable than the king of the barbarian land. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
So many reputations, added to Bianjing, make the city glorious and glorious through the ages...... It's just that Wang Ningan doesn't appreciate Bianjing very much, do the math, who is supporting Bianjing?
The first refers to the emperor and the clan of the old Zhao family, and then the eunuchs in the palace, the hereditary noble generals, and the high-ranking officials of the Manchu Dynasty, students from all over the world, and the forbidden army known as hundreds of thousands.
Combined, these people, as well as their families, account for at least eighty percent of Bianjing's permanent population.
They all have one thing in common, and that is not to create wealth!
In other words, Bianjing's prosperity was based entirely on absorbing the blood of the entire empire, and the people in it were responsible for distributing wealth, consuming it, but not producing it.
Bianjing is like a city in the clouds, prosperous but without foundation, everything depends on external supplies, but nothing is created. In the face of iron hooves trampling, there was no combat effectiveness at all, the gate of heaven was opened, and the proud sons of heaven in the city became slaves of the barbarians, and the prosperous picture was torn to pieces.
A vibrant city must first have industry, have a strong ability to create wealth, and provide high-quality goods, rather than simple consumption.
The Cangzhou he planned was first of all whaling, which was the foundation of the city. In the initial phase, there will be 20 whaling ships, each of which will be counted as 100 people, and these 2,000 people will be the worker bees of Cangzhou, responsible for collecting nectar and providing the impetus for the city's development.
Standing on a reef, Wang Ningan had a feeling of pointing out the country.
"This is the wharf, and it is necessary to level the land immediately, build a safe harbor for ships to dock, and a workshop for repairing ships, and as for shipbuilding, wait until workers are recruited."
Leaving the dock, there is a trading market, where the whales are divided and sold.
Across the market, there is a workshop that pickles whale meat and boils whale oil. Right next to the whale oil workshop is the area where candles and soap are made.
Once the products are packaged, they are transported by the fleet and distributed everywhere.
The whole process is the central axis of the new city and the wealth creation line!
In the northern part of the city, there are office yamen, munitions workshops for the production of bows and crossbows, workshops for sewing clothes and armor, as well as schools, hospitals, temples and other buildings.
The south side of the city is mainly a place for wine, rice and tea shops, Qinglou Library, in short, it is a place for fishermen to relax and rest, and businessmen from other places can also go to the south of the city to relax and entertain and negotiate business.
The north is for office and the south is for business.
In order to protect the safety of the city, a large camp was set up outside the west gate to garrison people and horses, and an outer city was established in the south to protect the small merchants and vendors from the surrounding countryside.
The city as a whole is not boxy and well-behaved. The market stretches, and the workshops are dotted with ingenuity.
"Erlang really has a big hill!"
Ouyang Xiu kept admiring, but the old master was worried, "Such a big project costs a lot, but the old man didn't see you in a hurry, could it be that you really have the ability to turn stone into gold?" Ouyang Xiu himself laughed.
Wang Ningan patted his chest, "I don't dare to say that a little stone is gold, but there are many people who come to the door with money, right?" Brother Han! β
Han Wei came over and said with a smile: "In order to relieve the victims, our Han family has worked tirelessly and is willing to pay 500,000 yuan to assist Erlang and build the dock as soon as possible, time waits for no one!" β
He said it very carefully, looking worried about the country and the people, but in the past year or so, why don't you see your Han family paying for relief? Still not seeing profitable?
Ouyang Xiu's guess was right, Wang Ningan had already handed over the agency of candles and soap on the east and west roads of Hebei to the Han family, and by the way, he also allocated a large piece of land to the Han family at the wharf.
Candles and soap alone have an income of hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, and the operation of the wharf is even more expensive, and the Han family has put their efforts on the land in the past. Desperately annexing land and collecting rent.
Since he got mixed with Wang Ning'an, he has smuggled spirits, white sugar, and whaling...... The profit of either is far greater than the collection of rent. Although the Han family is still superstitious about land, they also attach more importance to commercial interests, and this step is the key to the transformation of the Han family!
The Han family is like this, and the Cao family will not lag behind, they occupy a larger area, and even prepare to form their own whaling fleet. In addition to them, the Yang family, who was very close to Wang Ningan earlier, also moved, and they took out 200,000 yuan, and they also wanted a piece of the pie.
It's not that good, Wang Ningan's start-up capital is almost 1.5 million yuan, Ouyang Xiu doesn't know what to say, the people often say that it is difficult to make money, the imperial court has a lot of income, the expenses are even greater, and there is a deficit every year, like a bottomless pit.
Why does Wang Ningan have the ability to accumulate wealth, it seems that this kid never worries about money, what an evil door!
"It's about seizing business opportunities!"
Wang Ningan gave Ouyang Xiu an economic lesson, "My Great Song Dynasty is not short of money, but lacks opportunities for investment, and rich people would rather bury copper in the ground than take it out." And I, just gave them investment opportunities, whale meat sells well, all kinds of derivatives emerge in an endless stream, seeing that it is huge profits, everyone wants to intervene. I am afraid of bubbles, so I strictly control the qualifications of investors, believe it or not, as long as it is released, there are ten times as many people holding the money, screaming, to give it to me! β
Ouyang Xiu hated Wang Ning'an's arrogant appearance, but he had to admit that this kid was really not bragging, at least his colleague protΓ©gΓ© had written to him more than once, wanting to get involved.
"If you can afford it, quickly build the city and settle the victims!"
"Drunkard, you're wrong again, the city is not something I can come to with a breath."
"And what else are you going to do?" Ouyang Xiu said angrily: "Don't you have money and food? β
As soon as he heard this, Wang Ning was amused, and the drunkard was confused again, he couldn't imagine what a huge project it was to build a big city that could accommodate 200,000 people, and that little money and food was barely a down payment, and there was a mortgage behind it!
"This is a city built for the disaster victims, and in the future, they will also have to make a living in the city and pay some sweat, no problem, right?"
Ouyang Xiu's pupils constricted, and he wondered, "Do you want the victims to be workers?" β
"That's right."
Ouyang Xiu immediately became vigilant, "Erlang, Xia Zhu did the same, the old man heard that many people starved to death in the Liuta River!" β
"Hahaha, drunkard, in my eyes, the victims are a tool to create wealth in the future, and in Xia Zhu's eyes, they are a tool to maintain his phase, and they are also tools, and the difference between the drunkards must be clear." Wang Ningan smiled confidently: "Don't worry, I will treat the victims well." By the way, isn't our Six Arts Academy to cultivate really useful talents, it's a good internship opportunity right now, how about it, the drunkard is willing to hand over your baby bump to me? β

It was only a few months since he arrived at the Six Arts Academy, but Su Shi was reluctant to leave, it was so interesting here. In addition to the rich curriculum, there are also equestrian, archery, swimming, martial arts, sumo wrestling, ...... Everything you can think of. Su Shi is energetic and interested in everything, and in a short period of time, he has become a star in the school and is deeply loved by several teachers.
When his son became famous, Su Laoquan was relieved and had a smile on his face.
No, the academy has a new mission.
Summer practice: Students, you must all think that you are full of wealth, talent, talent, and ambition to stabilize the country, but you lack the stage to display. Throughout the ages, there have been countless scholars who have never met talents, such as carp crossing the river. How unfortunate they are, they never have the opportunity to help the world in their lifetime. Congratulations on joining the Six Arts Academy, which will provide you with the most valuable internship opportunities. In three months, you can sign up voluntarily, and anyone who feels competent will be given a piece of land, hundreds of victims, and your duty is to settle them down and give them a new home.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, serving the court, shepherding one side, and even ruling the world, starting from here!
Students, Mr. Wang is calling for you!!
Such a personalized text, even more personalized content, no need to ask, it must be from Wang Ningan's hand.
If we want to cultivate truly useful talents, how can we do it without actually doing things!
It's a pity that scholars have been studying hard, even if they pass the imperial examination, it only proves that they have learned and are talented, as for the ability to do things, no one can say well, and there are many high-scoring and low-energy jinshi in history.
No, Wang Ning'an created a valuable practice opportunity for the students of the Six Arts, and it was not an easy thing to personally organize the people and build a workshop.
"It's too tiring to build a house, on a hot day, you can dry your skin, and you have to take care of some people, many of whom are prickly and ruffian, and it is not easy. It's best not to participate, listen to the fifth uncle, just say that the elders in the family miss you, go home and stay a few days and come back. Han Wei persuaded his nephew to give up.
Han Zongwu didn't seem to listen to it, and looked at the notice with his head bored, as if he wanted to swallow it.
"What about him?"
"Who? Wang Ning'an? Han Wei said casually.
"Well, what is he doing?"
"Of course, he is the overall situation, he did the urban design map, and the implementation of the division of labor is also arranged by him, and we are all at his disposal."
"Humph!"
Han Zongwu's fists clenched, and he wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "He can coordinate the overall situation, I can't even build a workshop?" β
Han Wei looked at his puffing nephew and sighed: "It's not comparable, Wang Ning'an is very smart and has very good means. You've only recited the Thirteen Classics, and you've only learned some of the teachings of the saints, that ...... You can't eat it as a meal. β
Despised again, I have such a fake uncle!
"If you know everything, you don't believe that you can't do it!"
After speaking, he grabbed the brush, filled in his name angrily under the notice, and went to sign up with great momentum. After he left, from behind the screen, Wang Ningan walked out with square steps, and said with a smile: "I finally found an advantage of your nephew, he doesn't admit defeat, it's good!" β
