Wu You said all the advantages of Huating County, mainly the geographical environment and the advantages in the future, of course, he also said some bad things, mainly because it is still virgin land over there, and everything has to start again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Everyone in the audience immediately burst into a discussion, everyone is not stupid, and the huge advantage of Huating County made everyone red.

Wu You continued: "There is a very big advantage for you to have the imperial court endorse you, and you may not know that the emperor has agreed to establish a port, what does this mean, I don't think I need to say more!" ”

Everyone immediately took a big breath of cold air, and then someone's heart completely opened up.

Wu You pointed to Huating County and said: "This bidding is divided into the following places, please ask the chief designer of this time, Sun Lan, the county lord, to explain to you!" ”

Hearing this, Changsun Lan walked up, and said with a slight sigh: "You are no strangers to me, then you are welcome, this time the bidding is mainly divided into the following parts, first, the port, this port is very long, it may be beyond your imagination, of course, it is definitely not in the estuary, but in it, the port construction, the imperial court will not pay, you need to invest in the construction, so what is the benefit?" That is, all the taxes on the entry and exit of ships in and out of the port are collected by one of the winning bidders, and the time limit is five years! ”

"It's so little, it's only been five years!"

"Yes, it's too little, what can you earn back in five years?"

Changsun Lan smiled slightly: "This tax is not the tax on the ship stopping at the port, but the tax on the goods loaded by the ships that pass through here, as long as the ships that pass through Huating County need to collect taxes today!" Of course, this tax rate will definitely not kill the chicken and take the eggs, it must be bearable, everyone, do you still have any doubts? ”

The bottom immediately talked to each other again, Wu You was not too worried about this, because this is a must-earn project, to make it clear, according to their businessman's temperament, they will definitely not let go of this huge cake.

Things went more smoothly than Wu You imagined, and there were no moths, because the future interests were too clear, which was also a good thing for them, and overseas business would not even be out of reach anymore.

They are also doing overseas business, but they are doing it secretly, and now that it can be legalized, then the benefits in it are enough to make them covetous.

Henglongtang will not give up this opportunity, the flow of funds will bring them huge profits, especially under Wu You's repeated assurances, everyone suddenly frantically bought land, built roads, and invested in the construction of port dams.

In the meantime, Wu You and Eldest Sun Lan looked at each other and smiled, but the meaning of laughter was very different, Wu You muttered secretly: "It's just the beginning now, I'm afraid I can let Zheng He come over in the next stage!" ”

The Emperor had already left when he saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and asked on the way, "Ah Man, did you say that I agreed to overseas trade?" ”

Ji Abel smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are difficult to be an old slave, but... This Wu You has always had some good ideas, anyway, it is also a wasteland, he will try it if he wants to, and there have been many foreign envoys who have suggested opening the port before, it seems that there is still a trace of truth. ”

The emperor didn't speak, he groaned slightly, and suddenly sneered: "What are the thoughts of those foreign envoys, I still know, what kind intentions can they have, but since Wu You wants to do it, then the imperial court can't have no attitude at all, and issue an order, the whole country can only open here!" ”

Ji Abel took the order.

Wu You and Changsun Lan still have a lot of specific things to do, each of which is a troublesome matter, the two discussed all the way, and discussed again in the study, in fact, Huating County is not the first choice, if it can, Wu You is more inclined to Guangzhou in the previous life, Tianjin, this is the wonderful location, however, for Huating County Wu You also attaches great importance to it, and it will be slowly implemented step by step in the future, so as to give the imperial court confidence and be willing to open the remaining ports.

Wu You and Changsun Lan discussed more about the tax rate, Wu You of course knew how deep the water of this trade was, and the terms and so on made the two of them cautious.

Sent away the eldest grandson Lan, the sky was already slightly bright, and he was busy all night, but Wu You was not tired, and he couldn't bear to go up and make noise to Fang Ling'er, Wu You rested on the sofa for an hour, and was energetic again, and the rest was to leave here.

A few days later, the bigwigs who bid also began to mobilize all the resources to gather in Huating County, if you shoot from a high altitude, you will definitely be able to see one gray torrent after another gathering in Huating County, of course, this is still the vanguard, and there will be more in the future, because this is the resources needed to build a large city, which is very terrifying.

Huating County has a large area, but most of it is wasteland, especially in many of them, where even people can't even look at people, but at this moment, there are very many people in the county prince's mansion in Huating County, and Wu You is standing in the crowd and constantly explaining the specific plan of the plan.

"Lao Chen, you are in charge of the road, I want a straight and flat road, the materials are not too expensive, but they must not be cheap, you know?"

Lao Chen is a middle-aged fat man and a rich salt merchant, and they all attach great importance to the development of the special zone this time, because this will be a merchant city!

Wu You looked at the other person with a cautious face: "Lao Sun, the goods square can also start construction, this square can only build warehouses, I also told you the styles of these warehouses, you start building at the designated place, and Lao Xu, when will your people arrive?" The shipyard says it's starting at the beginning, and you're going to lose a lot of business by doing that! ”

The old Xu suddenly patted his chest and said that the person was already on the way, and he would start in a few days.

This time the movement was too big, and gradually there were rumors in the whole empire, some people said that gold mines were found in Huating County, and some people said that in Huating County, money could be picked up on the road, so that countless people who ate melons were enthusiastic about it, and some people were already on the road to gold panning.

And these swarming foreign populations have also greatly made up for the lack of labor, so that Wu You breathed a sigh of relief, the crime rate has also skyrocketed, there is no way, I can only let the Ji brothers go out to patrol, and if they are caught, they will not detain you, and directly let you go to build a dam, where few people go there, and pay you wages, just like that, after a period of implementation, the crime rate has also dropped a lot.

Similarly, some soft industries, such as restaurants or inns, have also sprung up one by one, and the preliminary planning in Wu You's plan has also made this small county town orderly.

"Wu You, whether this wall will be demolished or not!" Changsun Lan asked.

Wu You hesitated, and after a while, he said affirmatively: "Demolish!" Why not demolish, here you have also seen, it is completely impossible to only be so big, the future will be even bigger, whether it is population or architecture, it will be beyond your imagination, and how big can the city wall be built, order people to go down, take the stone of the city wall to pave the road! And I want to tell everyone that Huating County will be the capital of openness! ”

Changsun Lan said with a smile: "Now the court and China have to explode, I heard that several coastal cities are now strongly asking the emperor to open the port!" ”

Wu You sneered: "We have occupied the right time and place, regardless of them, oh yes, you have time to visit the laborers again, and ask them if they have received their wages on time and how they are eating!" ”

"Alright, got it!" The eldest grandson Lan glanced at Wu You charmingly, and I have to say that a woman with a career has all kinds of charms.

Wu You sighed with emotion: "After all, they are the real builders of this city!" (To be continued.) )
