If it was two years ago, the store manager and the commercial commissioner could be regarded as Xu Yuanzuo's core strength, and the power in their hands was also quite large. Nowadays, the organization is expanding and the level is stretched, and the store manager and the commissioner have become specific clerks. If it weren't for a few guys for them to manage, they wouldn't be leadership at all.

However, the flagship store of Tanghang is the face of the business travel group after all, and the store manager here is also high-end, and he has a lot of authority in his hands. With these two accompanying Xia Benyu to visit Tang Xing, the wealth and advancement of Tang Xing were truly displayed in front of the people of Suzhou. They couldn't imagine that the new town they saw was built from scratch.

"It took more than two years from land purchase, planning, construction, to the formation of today's situation." Miao Zhixue, the commercial commissioner, said: "Our Jiangnan water network is dense, and there are waterways everywhere, how to fill the waterways, and open dark river ditches to discharge floods and supply water, it really costs a lot of silver." However, now that New Tang Dynasty has encountered Huangmeitian, it has rained for several days and there is no water on the ground, which shows that the effect is still excellent. ”

"Why do you have to fill up the waterways?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"Easy to layout." Miao Zhixue said: "Now the New Tang Dynasty has four horizontal, four vertical and eight streets, just like a chessboard. The east and west are streets, and the north and south are roads, each with its own name and code. As long as you write down the address of the house number, you can send the mail according to the map, isn't it convenient? ”

Everyone knows that Renshoutang started by collecting business taxes, and to put it bluntly, it is to collect protection money. It's just that the line is taken by force, and Renshoutang borrowed the brand of the imperial court. There is a clear house number address, shipping and sending letters is still a trivial matter, and the most convenient thing is to collect taxes according to the map!

"What is the use of the trees on these sides?" Someone asked again.

"Good looking, shading, vacuuming, noise reduction." Miao Zhixue smoothly reported the role of street trees: "These are all covered by merchants along the street, otherwise they will have to pay for others to raise them." Nowadays these trees are not tall enough. In a few years, the canopy will be bigger, and it will be so cool to walk under the scorching sun! ”

Everyone nodded, and saw the neat and bright houses one after another, and admired in their hearts: Xu Jinglian has such mental and material resources...... Yes, this silver will naturally not come from the Xu family. There must be other Songjiang families and merchants who contribute together. But it's amazing that there are people willing to follow him for this kind of thing that has no profit at all.

Of course, Xu Jinglian would not let people do such a useless thing. As early as the Tang and Song dynasties, there were specialized businessmen who bought land to build houses and then sold them for profit, so real estate is also a very old industry. It's just that because the contradiction between man and land is not high, the real estate industry until the Ming Dynasty was very weak, and there was no problem in earning some hard-earned money to support the family.

Xu Yuanzuo did not set up a real estate group in Yunjian Group, but he bought land to build houses, build roads, and plant trees. It's not all for yourself. After the cultivation is completed, it is a matter of course to sell it to other companies and make a profit. Specifically, the so-called everyone pays money, but in fact, Xu Yuanzuo came forward to borrow money to buy land, built a house, and then sold it to others with his own profits. Then pay it back...... The trick of borrowing chickens and eggs is extremely slippery.

In addition, the geographical location of Tanghang New Town has been repeatedly explored by Xu Yuanzuo, not to mention the wind and water. It is closer to the official road. When the messy water network in the town is filled, the flow of water in the main river naturally increases, and large boats can be crossed. And the roads in the city are flat and connected to the official roads, which can naturally promote the carriage industry that Xu Yuanzuo has always hoped to promote.

The improvement of the carriage was very smooth, and the key was that the old Jiangnan town was full of bridges. These bridges are not flat. There are high steps, so how can this promote the carriage? The use environment is limited, even if the carriage is made into flowers, it is just a luxury for large families to decorate their faces, and it cannot really make a profit.

The new town separates land and water. The overland connection, the unimpeded flow of horse-drawn carriages in the new town, and the direct access to other towns, obviously stimulated the appetite of the large households, and the sales in one quarter were higher than in the past year.

However, the economic ripple effects of these infrastructure projects are not known to everyone. When Miao Zhixue was studying in the academy, he was shocked by this, and he did a lot of analysis and wrote several papers for publication in the journal. These are the intellectual wealth of him and the Yunjian Group, and they are not enough for outsiders!

"When the environment is good, the house will naturally be expensive." A Suzhou guest vaguely saw the roll call, and before he had time to think deeply, the topic had been distorted by Miao Zhixue.

Everyone walked around Tanghang New Town, and finally arrived at the flagship store of Youjia Inn. This flagship store except for the open door, and the wealthy family is no different, in front of the car and horses, the shop guy led people in, and the car and horse slowly drove to the back according to the instructions, unloaded the luggage, and then sent into the room.

Xia Benyu, as a distinguished guest, had already stood at the door with a row of men wearing uniforms of the same color and style, quite impressive. His vanity was quite satisfied, and when he entered the gate with a group of people around him, he saw that the entrance hall of the ordinary large household had been converted into a lobby, and there were men waiting for people to check in and check out behind the five large board tables that were lined up, and everything was orderly and calm.

Because the inn itself has the responsibility of checking the flow of people from the government, it naturally takes some time to check the road and personal closeness. Because the ordinary inn took this chicken feather, it also had to make an arrow to use. However, there is an inn here that there is no such vice, not only the people who do the work are quick and do not make the guests wait for a long time, but also the words are gentle, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.

"A few of you, please." Mu Yucheng, the manager of Tang Airlines' flagship store, beckoned Xia Benyu and his entourage to sit on the Taishi chair on the side, as a VIP there is no need to queue up, naturally there will be guys to come to serve.

Before they had time to finish a bowl of tea and eat two refreshments, the rooms of the Suzhou guests were ready.

Xia Benyu and the others entered the room, and they couldn't help but be even more amazed. The things of ordinary wealthy people, they are all here; And the washroom, bone china commode, brass water hose worth 100 gold...... It's all well furnished, and there's incense.

"Mei Yigong, my brother Zuo'er is in the garden next door, and I will come to visit Zunjia later." When Mu Yucheng arrived at the store, it was a piece of land, supervising before and after to ensure that there was no mistake.

"How dare you! It should have been Xia who went to meet Xu Xianggong. Xia Benyu hurriedly said.

Mu Yucheng smiled: "Brother Zuo'er ordered it like this." ”

Xia Benyu's face was embarrassed, how could he let Xu Jinglian come to see him? Isn't this ignorance? So he asked tentatively: "If I wander around and meet Xu Xianggong...... Is it rude? ”

"I can't meet you by chance." Mu Yucheng laughed out loud: "The garden next door has been sealed by all the guards in the courtyard, and it is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so you can't go in." ”

"Huh? What kind of guest is it, such luxury? Xia Benyu has turned to pure curiosity.

"Wei Guogong." Mu Yucheng lowered his voice.

Xia Benyu was taken aback: Wei Guogong! That's the Duke of Wei who is resting with the country! There is also an inn? Doesn't this kind of dignitary have their own houses everywhere? How many local wealthy families will lend him the garden if they know that he is coming! I didn't expect him to live here, right next door to me!

Mu Yucheng saw Xia Benyu's reaction, and smiled secretly in his heart, his face still had a calm and breezy appearance: "The ladies of the Guogong Mansion like the cleanliness and beauty here, which is not inferior to the gardens of those big families. It's also convenient to use people, especially if you don't owe favors. Wei Guogong likes the liveliness here, and sometimes travels in micro-clothes. ”

"Doesn't the Guogong family have a garden in Songjiang?" Xia Benyu still felt that the deer in his chest was bumping.

"How can it not be? But they are all villages, and people are too lazy to repair and take care of them on weekdays, and it is a pack of fire when they go, so it is better to live with us. Mu Yucheng said with a smile: "The small one pulls a deal for his own store: Mei Yigong is also about to give up his heart to start a garden, but whenever he comes to Tang Xing, he will live in a small shop, keep you comfortable and safe, and his wishes will come true." ”

"That's that, that's." Xia Benyu promised repeatedly, and said secretly in his heart: Wei Guogong lives here, and fools don't live there! If you accidentally meet Wei Guogong, who is privately interviewed by Weifu, God knows what kind of encounter you can bump into. Even if you can't meet it, it's really face-saving to say it!
