The great popularity and high attention at the simulated auction made Liu Yong full of confidence and full of ambition, this is the "land speculation" of later generations. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoLiu Yong even regretted that there were too few government departments at this time, and there were no competent units such as the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the Taxation Bureau, and the Economic and Trade Bureau in later generations, otherwise I could have speculated on the land prices everywhere.

However, the reality is so unexpected, it has been four days, and there is an endless stream of people who come to consult, but there are very few who really intend to bid for bids, and even more surprisingly, there are few applicants for dozens of industrial plots, and the high-end residential land promoted by Liu Yong and the land near the new county government are even more unattended.

Liu Yong was ashamed, looking at the news provided by Dong Yun for a while, this was the biggest blow he suffered after coming to this era. Yu turned over but was as calm as water, as if he had known that there would be such an ending. Liu Yong asked puzzledly: "Gong Yu, are we not doing well enough?" Why is there so much land left unattended? Seeing that you are calm and composed, did you know that this would happen? ”

Yu Fu smiled and said: "The old man just deduced according to common sense, I thought that the planning was so wonderful that people were eye-catching, and the son was clever and clever, and he thought that there was a change, and he was looking forward to it, but he still expected it to be like this." ”

"What common sense?" Liu Yong wondered.

"Childe, think about it, where is the land that everyone is concerned about?"

Liu Yong thought for a while and said, "Except for a few homesteads and commercial land on both sides of the official road, it is all agricultural land. ”

"Exactly. Why are these plots still there? "The plots we plan have neither roads nor residents, and these businesses are shrewd, they only care about the present." What's more, Fuyi looks peaceful on the surface, how do you know that Cao Cao or Yuan Shao won't call one day. How can they rest assured that they will invest so much money in a place that will only be effective in a few years? ”

"What Gong Yu said is right, I understand it below." Liu Yong sighed and said, "You can't put all your eggs in one basket, otherwise they will all be bad." ”

Dong Yun frowned and said, "Is that land just empty?" Wouldn't that be a pity? ”

"Not really." Liu Yong smiled proudly and arched his hand to Yu, "Duke Yu, as long as we set up more factories, recruit some workers, and connect all the roads, plus the newly built markets and county offices, I dare to assert that the land prices around these areas will skyrocket." ”

Dong Yun was convinced of this big brother's ability, but Yu Fu was a little worried, and said suspiciously: "The old man thinks that the scale of the winery and porcelain factory should not be too large, first, the raw materials are limited, and the second is that the output is high, I am afraid that the price will be lowered." ”

Liu Yong nodded and said, "What Gong Yu is very worried about is that he is not talking about these two factories. I was thinking that Fuyi now has a population of 50,000 or 60,000 foreigners, many of whom are virtuous and capable. We can choose some potential projects from them and support them to become stronger and bigger, one can increase the income of the county government, and the other can gather talents and stimulate the development of the surrounding areas, what does the county magistrate think? ”

Yu Fu pondered for a moment, and hesitated: "The old man also expected that there must be people with outstanding skills among these people. But most of these people have fled here, most of them have no long things, and the county government has no extra funds, so I am afraid that they can't help. ”

Liu Yong said: "This point has been planned below, please rest assured that the county magistrate." It's just that I have to bother Lao Yugong first, issue a recruitment order, no, seek a talent order, and recruit talents for Fuyi. ”

Yu shook his head and said: "The order to recruit talents or to seek talents can be ordered by the imperial court to write an edict, and it is probably inappropriate for a small county town in Fuyi to issue such an order." Let's just recruit ordinary craftsmen and technicians, and it's more appropriate to change to a talent book or something. ”

Liu Yong scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "Yu Gong's words are reasonable, I haven't read any books in Xia, and I don't know that the word "seeking talent" is so exquisite. ”

Yu Pan comforted: "Gongzi is not from us here, so it's okay if you don't know." He also explained, "This virtuous word cannot be used casually. Only those who can govern the country or county, or who can give advice to share the worries of the court, or who can lead troops to make meritorious contributions and be crowned generals can be called virtuous. He sighed as he spoke, and continued, "Those famous Confucians, intelligent and virtuous people, and people with outstanding martial arts can live in this small Fuyi with peace of mind?" Their eyes will only be fixed on Xudu, Yecheng or Jiangdong, and the worst must be the big cities of Jingzhou or Chengdu. ”

Liu Yong agreed: "No plane tree can't attract a golden phoenix." In the end, the water in our pond is too shallow to raise these big fish. ”

Yu laughed and said, "Don't be discouraged. Waiting for the size of Fuyi cities such as Xiangyang and Xudu, the people are rich in the city, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, so why worry about not recruiting talents and talents. ”

"Thank you Gong Yu for your advice, Liu Yong has been taught." Liu Yong said convincingly, "The most important thing for us now is how to grasp development, build our county bigger and stronger, have greater development, have more income, and create a good living environment." ”

"Exactly." Yu Fan nodded in agreement, and persuaded earnestly, "The old man is still a little worried. Now Fuyi has porcelain-making and roasting wine, which are not available elsewhere, so you have to watch on the small night. In addition, the expansion of the militia must be stepped up and it must have the strength to protect itself. The old man thought that Gongzi and Dong Zhutou had to go out earlier. With the ability of the son, if he obtains a military merit and is awarded a knighthood, it will be the greatest protection for Fuyi. ”

"Yu Gong taught very well. As soon as these things were over, Liu Yong set off immediately. Liu Yong replied, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, and he said happily, "I want to ask the county magistrate to send a message to Gelizheng, recommend two to four people with outstanding skills, and use the county government to hold a tea party to discuss how to select talents." ”

Yu chuckled: "Tea party? Liu Gongzi, which one is this singing? ”

Liu Yong didn't answer and asked: "Duke Yu, if there is one person who can stand out, but unfortunately he has no money and power, can he become an official?" ”

Yu replied, "Yes." In this way, if the person is known to the imperial court, he can directly issue a document to appoint him, which is called 'conquest'. Of course, only a very small number of people are selected in this way, and most people are only famous in the countryside, this kind of people can be recommended by the Li and the township, reported layer by layer, and finally inspected by the imperial court, and the qualified can also be an official, which is called 'inspection', which is the most common. ”

"So can people who have not read books or who are of poor character also become officials?"

Yu Fan was slightly stunned, and said with a wry smile: "At the beginning of this method, it can also select some talents for the imperial court." However, most of the people who presided over the evaluation were wealthy families, so most of the people who were recommended were the children of the family, 'there is no poor family in the upper grade, and there is no family in the lower grade', and it is difficult for the landlords of the Shu clan to get a piece of the pie, let alone the common people. In the Heng and Ling periods, it was even more prevalent to sell officials, and officials at all levels could spend money on them, and the corruption was extreme, and the world could not be chaotic. ”

Liu Yong nodded and said: "Yes, what an official looks at is not morality, not talent, but the level of the family and the amount of money." Such people are either stupid or corrupt officials, how can the people not suffer, and the country will not be chaotic. Gong Yu, we are selecting talents, but we must really choose them. ”

Yu rubbed his beard and said, "Childe said well." The old man had to inform the township and district levels in the main book, and he must ask for talented people. When does Liu Gongzi want to hold this tea party? ”

"Time is of the essence, I think it's the day after the auction. Regarding the auction, I still have an idea, what do you think, Yu Gong? ”

As soon as Liu Yong said, Yu Fan frowned slightly, and hesitated: "Is it a little unkind for the son to do this?" Dong Yun was even more ashamed: "Don't be kind, isn't this a lie." Liu Yong said: "This is not a lie, you can not buy it if it is too expensive." Yu pondered for a long time, sighed, and said to Liu Yong: "Okay, just follow the son." ”

Within half a day, the city heard the news that more than a dozen bidders suddenly appeared during the registration period on the last day, and the plots involved were all over the homesteads, commercial land, factories, etc. Those who had already signed up were all worried after hearing about it, why did there suddenly be so many rich people to compete for it. Sure enough, the official auction was extremely intense, and the auction prices of those mature plots rose by 20% more than expected. However, there were still very few applicants for several pieces of factory land and residential land near the lake, and they were finally auctioned off by an unknown foreigner at a very low price.

Yu looked at the auction agreement and was pleasantly surprised, the money collected was more than twice the price of the direct sale, and said to Liu Yong with a smile: "Although this income is high, it is still a little lost." It turned out that Liu Yong found more than a dozen people to do the support, and Shengsheng raised the land price again.

Dong Yun said: "It's also harming others and hurting yourself." There is no one to fight for those factories and residential land by the lake, so now they can only keep it for themselves. ”

Liu Yong smiled: "It's not necessarily a bad thing. In a few years, it will definitely double. ”

Dong Yun snorted, and her suspicion was palpable. Liu Yong ignored her and said to Yu: "Gong Yu, have all the people who will attend tomorrow been notified?" ”

Yu chuckled and said, "Childe relax, it's all noticed." ”

On the second day, the county government hall was full of people, full of friends, the three elders of the township, the pavilion chief, Li Zheng and the representatives of various talents recommended gathered together, and the atmosphere was very grand and warm. Liu Yong prepared very carefully, and on the neat cases, meat, wine, snacks, melons and fruits, and tea were readily available, and the county magistrate, county lieutenant, and chief bookkeeper all attended, giving these grassroots small officials and talent representatives enough face.

Yu turned a toast to everyone on behalf of the county government officials, and handed over the venue to Liu Yong. Liu Yong raised the teacup and arched his hand: "Liu Yong is not good at drinking, so he can only use tea instead of wine to toast you." Everyone was smiling, holding their wine glasses, and said with a smile: "Childe is polite." As he spoke, he drank it all.

Liu Yong smiled and said: "You're welcome, our tea party doesn't need to be polite, so it's the most relaxed and pleasant." I'm here to say, you can listen and eat at the same time, don't be afraid to be embarrassed, and don't worry about not giving me face. If you eat well and play well, you will give Liu Yong the greatest face. Everyone laughed when they heard this, but they made up their minds in their hearts, I will never use chopsticks when you speak.
