In the past few days, Chen Chen's work in Shengzhou is very simple, that is, to carefully inspect various places and select the most suitable place to build a factory.

Under the guidance of Shangguan Yu, Wu Kexin and Qin Ruhai, the people of the Dongshui Peninsula have slowly gathered in Shengzhou, and those who want to pour into Dongshui are all blocked by the Dongshui army and forced to come to Shengzhou, and for a time Dongshui began a great migration of population.

Chen Chen led a few soldiers to carefully look for a place, and a flat mountain in front of him attracted Chen Chen's attention.

The site is located in the middle of the mine, and behind the land is a waterfall that flows down the surrounding area, and the land is surrounded by deep water like an island.

Chen Chen looked at this place very satisfied, it is located in the mine, and there is a water flow to cover it and is not afraid of being peeped at, and at the same time, the water resources are sufficient, and it is completely possible to take water on the spot, but the discharge of this waste water seems to be a problem......

After temporarily selecting a few places, Chen Chen returned to the capital, and as soon as he entered the door, his entourage came to report that the major merchants had also gathered, and were waiting for the prince's reception.

Coming to the back garden, the merchants have been arranged to sit, Chen Chen just stepped in, and everyone hurriedly saluted: "Knock to see Lord Wencheng." ”

Chen Chen waved his hand and smiled slightly: "It's all my own family, you don't have to be polite." Meeting is fate, isn't it? ”

Everyone nodded hurriedly and thanked them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have also seen the current situation recently, Nanzhao and Chen Guo are at war, and at the same time, there is a coup d'état within Nanzhao, which is actually a very good opportunity to make a fortune."

"Eh, lord, the villain is stupid, I don't know where to start with this fortune? War brings war, people don't buy anything, so what is the opportunity? A merchant got up and smiled at Chen Chen with a smile on his face, his face full of humility and seeking advice.

Hearing the businessman's words, Chen Chen was speechless for a moment, only feeling that his face was hurt very much, and no one understood the meaning of the opportunity he had worked so hard to earn for the businessmen.

"During the war years, the people were walking around, so at this time, your eyes can't stop at the people coming to buy things automatically. Does the war cause a shortage of food, does it cause a shortage of all kinds of materials, and if you transport these things to the war-torn areas, won't you make a fortune? Chen Chen hated that iron could not be made of steel and said to everyone.

When everyone heard this, their faces were suddenly enlightened, and their faces were full of excitement and fascination. This is simply a huge profit, buy at a low price and sell at a high price.

Chen Chen looked at everyone's satisfied expressions and snorted coldly: "Where did your brains go?" You know that you are calculating your own people, and as far as this king knows, after you entered the eastern waters, you bought land vigorously, and caused many people to be displaced and homeless. Do you want to oppose this king and destroy his foundation? Do you want to give an explanation to this king today? ”

The businessmen were still immersed in joy and did not extricate themselves, and they were suddenly shocked by Chen Chen's words, and they were all frightened, and they quickly knelt down and did not dare to come out, and they all said that they did not dare to go against the government.

"Humph! You are all attracted by this king from other countries, and this king does not want to say anything? You used to buy land vigorously, but this king will never stop it, and he doesn't bother to care. But Dongshui is such a big place, what are you going to do when you buy land? Is it sincere that the king will be killed by the peasant uprising? Chen Chen picked up the teacup and fell to the ground, and the sound of porcelain breaking was extremely loud.

The crowd did not dare to say another word.

"Now that the wealth of Dongshui is monopolized by you, and the land is also monopolized by you, this is the rhythm of forcing the people to revolt, and this king will never allow it, so tomorrow this king will send someone to take back your land, and any of you will complain."

After everyone heard Chen Chen finish speaking, their bodies shook. Several bosses looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly, and no one said anything.

"Alright, get up. From now on, Dongshui is not allowed to buy land, but other countries, you can buy as you like, once you encounter difficulties, Dongshui will immediately send troops to protect everyone's interests. ”

"Nanzhao and we have reached an agreement, once the Nanzhao Emperor returns to the throne, then our merchants in Dongshui can directly enter Nanzhao to do business, pay enough taxes for our Dongshui, and the rest are your own, you will enter Nanzhao soon, this king wants you to control Nanzhao's economic lifeline as soon as possible, do you understand?"

Chen Chen saw that everyone had no objections, so he slowed down his tone and released an even more shocking news.

Although the major merchants were forcibly confiscated, they were dissatisfied, but as soon as the news came out, everyone smiled again, and their hearts were full of gratitude to Chen Chen.

"Lord Wang, can we march into Nanzhao?"

"Yes, we will speed up the control of Nanzhao's economy."

"Don't worry, the prince."

For a while, everyone laughed again, looking at everyone, Chen Chen also understood in his heart that first bitter and then sweet can make people cherish and be grateful. If you keep announcing good news and suddenly another bad news comes out, I'm afraid the result will have to be different.

"Okay, okay, don't be happy, let's not be happy yet, recently our Shengzhou is going to be rebuilt and developed, so you guys will do our business here first, and then go out to make a living." Seeing everyone cheering and celebrating, Chen Chen was also very happy.

Everyone did not have any opinion on this, and expressed their willingness to accept the dispatch and distribution of the prince.

Therefore, Chen Chen sat down with the businessmen and held a meeting.

The theme of the conference: building an industrial city and planning the urban layout.

Tasks:

First, build shops, build residences, and form the layout of the city as soon as possible.

Second, relocate the population, improve services, and create distinctive shops.

Third, to start other businesses, the Dongshui government will lead the way, and the merchants will follow the big work.

Because the pattern of Dongshui Kyoto was already fixed, Chen Chen did not and could not destroy the original pattern at the beginning, so he had to upgrade the original city with the four buildings of Zuimenglou as the core.

But now it's different, there are no buildings in Shengzhou, and they can be completely demolished and built in modern ways. Cement bricks replace wood, and the layout of the city is regulated according to the zoning of the city.

Now the brick factory and the cement factory are in short supply, so Chen Chen temporarily divided and marked the land, and waited until the cement factory and the brick factory were built before starting construction. The people of the Ministry of Industry quickly went down to divide the area and the building site according to Chen Chen's architectural drawing.

The development of Shengju is mainly focused on mines, with heavy industry in the north and west, commercial and residential areas in the south and east, and a central plaza in the capital.

In order to ensure the normal progress of the project, Chen Chen quickly mobilized Commander Wei and Chen Cheng, and the Dongshui army also joined it, on the one hand, in order to supplement the labor force, on the other hand, it was also to add supervision to prevent people from cutting corners.

Chen Chen carefully calculated the progress of the project overnight, and it must be completed as soon as possible, after all, if the war burns to Dongshui, it will not be able to develop, so it must be built as soon as possible.
