Who knew that the two masters didn't look at those private properties at all, and studied the map for a while, and they directly pointed their fingers on the map, not far from the south of Qiongshi Fang, the largest open space. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Isn't there still a big open space in this place? Let's buy it. ”

Chen Dalei looked over and almost didn't squirt out a sip of tea.

"This ...... I'm afraid I can't buy this. ”

"Well, why?"

"There is an elephant training place, a place for the imperial court to domesticate elephants, and there was a yamen in the years of Grandpa Cheng, how can our merchants covet it!"

Rao is Chen Dalei has long been accustomed to the unreliability of short hair, and at this time, he can't help but have an urge to hit his head against the wall, do these two uncles know what they are thinking?

It turns out - people are well aware:

"Ah, the land of the government. It seems that it is indeed necessary to continue to deepen the cooperation with the Ming Dynasty. ”

"The mahout is under the management of the Ministry of Rites, right? Qian Qianyi's territory should be easier to talk to. However, Zhou Yanru must also open up the joints. ”

"There is also a need to devise a suitable negotiation strategy...... Mm-hmm, I'll take care of that,"

Lin Hanlong took the initiative to take over the task, but then the two began to mumble to the map:

"I didn't expect the city of Beijing to be so empty in the Ming Dynasty! The outer city is almost empty, and even the inner city is full of vegetable fields! ”

"What a great location! If you get to us......"

"Don't worry, don't worry, we can talk to Lao Zhou and Lao Qian slowly...... Who is Suncheonfu Yin today? ”

"It seems that Shuntianfu is often replaced, it is better to cooperate with Jinyi Wei Lao Luo, as long as his position does not go wrong, it is basically a lifelong system...... If you want to talk about the management of Jingshi, Jinyiwei actually accounts for the majority. ”

The two chattered and exchanged words for a while, and then pointed to the map and scolded Fang Xuan, saying some strange things such as "I know this land, a relative had an idea at the beginning, and it was brushed down during the auction, and then the transaction price was calculated to be 80,000 square meters on the floor alone, and now it is planting Chinese cabbage" and so on.

Chen Dalei next to him only heard it inexplicably, but he has been in contact with this group of short-haired people for a long time, and he has already understood all kinds of unusual things about them, anyway, these people have always been very reliable in serious matters, and it doesn't matter if they come up with a few strange words from time to time.

Sure enough, when the two brothers finished talking, they gave Chen Dalei a very formal reply: They will solve the matter of the land, you can concentrate on those coal shops first.

With these words, Chen Dalei was relieved, and he left with a relaxed expression. Thinking about how to deal with those charcoal shop bosses tomorrow - after all, it is definitely not a simple matter to collect people for sale, and it is also a surprise attack, and there will inevitably be some twists and turns.

As for this, after Guo Lin and the others continued to discuss a few words, they also made plans separately, preparing to do a big vote.

…………

A few days later, Lin Hanlong came up with a preliminary plan, first showed it to his companions in Beijing, and then planned to send a telegram back to Hainan to apply to the committee.

As a representative of the trading company, Anna first saw this document, but she was not good at it and could not understand Lin Hanlong's intentions. Hu Wen, although she also didn't know much about economic affairs, after reading Lin Hanlong's plan, she frowned and said:

"Xiaolin, I think you mean, are you planning to make a big deal in Beijing?"

"Yes, we will start with the coal industry, and then we will plan to build cement factories and brick factories. According to Pang Yu's layout in the northeast, even after our army withdraws from Lushun, it can still provide a large amount of high-quality timber to the Beijing-Tianjin area. Once the basic building materials such as bricks, tiles, cement and wood can be fully supplied...... Then there's so much we can do next. ”

"It's a big strategy, but have you ever considered whether the establishment of such a large industrial scale in Beijing is in line with our overall line?"

"Uh......"

This sentence really stopped Lin Hanlong, including Guo Yi next to him, the two of them only thought about expanding the scale and increasing the efficiency, but they didn't take this into account - theoretically, the original goal of their group of people in Beijing was just to marry a daughter-in-law, and after marrying a daughter-in-law, they would return to the south.

I didn't expect to be mixed up here, and I couldn't help but want to show my strength - the key is that the conditions here are really good. As the capital of the Ming Empire, the main service object and terminal of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, the most important logistics channel in this era, whether it is official or private, there will definitely be no shortage of markets and business opportunities here.

However, the business consciousness and means of the Ming Dynasty themselves were extremely backward, and Lin Hanlong and Guo Yi were not professionals at all in later society, but they were enough to be regarded as economic wizards here. Including the group of people they are making friends with now - the bureaucratic class, the noble class, and the big mink in the palace, etc., all of them are the top ones in the political ecosystem of the Ming Empire...... All these conditions are combined, and it is really unreasonable not to get rich here.

As a result, Qiongshifang, which was originally only a small site as an office and material supply office in the capital, inadvertently grew into a giant in the business district of Beijing. And in order to maintain its survival and development, continuous expansion has become the best and almost the only policy.

However, when they are so deeply involved with the Ming Empire, the strategy of the entire Qiong Navy will inevitably change because of this, not to mention that after Tianjin and Jingshi have a large number of industries here, they will deal with the Ming Empire in the future, can they still shout "land in Tianjin Port and enter Beijing City" as before?

- Of course not, because the trading company has already done this. But is it really exactly the same?

“…… Eh, if you think about it this way, our Qiongshifang can develop so smoothly, is it also because of the deliberate guidance of the Ming Dynasty? Zhou Yanru's gang can't do economics, they are all veterans in politics! ”

The words suddenly inserted by cartoonist Wang Chen made the conference room fall into silence for a while, and everyone looked at each other, and their faces showed a bit of heaviness. Especially those in the business system, the great development of Qiongshifang during this period of time, even within the trading company, is a very bright existence, of course, it is also their most important achievement. But if it is interpreted as the result of the deliberate release of water by the Ming Dynasty, then this achievement will be greatly reduced.

There was silence for a moment, but it was Wang Jiaojiao, who had never been involved in these things, who spoke first - she waved her hand impatiently:

"You're really thinking too much - even if there is any trouble in the future, the committee should think about it, we just need to do a good job here anyway, can there be anything wrong with that?"

was so little by Wang Jiaojiao, Lin Hanlong also nodded immediately:

"That's it! Since we have been sent here, we should try to make the situation here as strong as possible. If there are different opinions in the rear, it is nothing more than a debate in the plenary meeting. This general line has been artificially formulated, and it is normal to make adjustments according to the situation. We used commodities to open up the road to the capital of Daming, do the people in the rear have to bombard it again with artillery? - You said yes, Commissioner Guo? ”

Guo Yi, the only committee member in the audience, could only shrug helplessly:

"When you're done, what else can I say—I'll do the things that report to the committee, and we'll just go about it as usual."

"Hey, yes, responsible, this is what a management committee member looks like."

Lin Hanlong smiled and praised, and then everyone's mood finally relaxed completely, and began to discuss Lin Hanlong's plan - to engage in the coal industry and the building materials industry, according to the experience of later generations, these two are definitely profiteering industries. And even in this late Ming era, those who have nothing to do with food, clothing, housing and transportation will not have no business to do.

-- Beijing City, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the first good place at the foot of the Son of Heaven, where most of the powerful and powerful people in the world gathered, it stands to reason that this Beijing division should have been filled long ago - just like Beijing, the capital of the later republic, was founded less than 70 years ago, and the pie was spread out beyond the Seven Ring Road, nearly a thousand kilometers in circumference.

And what about the city of Beijing, which is the capital of the Ming Dynasty? It has been more than 200 years since Chengzu moved the capital here, not to mention the newly expanded outer city during the Jiajing period, which is where the original inner city was located, and there are still many large areas of white land empty there. It's not that no one owns it - most of these plots are owned, but it's easy to occupy them, as long as you have the right. But to really build it, it will cost a lot of real money.

The transportation technology and construction technology of this era are absolutely backward to the extreme in the eyes of future generations. And the cost is incomparably huge - Xie Xi brainwashed Shang Kexi in Liaodong, saying that he could sell a piece of wood for dozens or even hundreds of taels of silver by cutting a piece of wood and dragging it to the capital, which was not entirely fooling him, it was indeed a quote in the Jingshi Timber Company.

Of course, this refers to those large trees that can be used as the main material of beams and columns, but even ordinary miscellaneous wood is not cheap - most civilian families in this era are used to planting a few trees behind the room after the child is born, and when the child grows up and wants to build a house, the trees are just ready, and they can be cut down for large materials, which saves the biggest cost. As for the walls, most of them are rammed earth walls, and they are covered with mud, so they can do it with their own strength, and the roof is made of thatched reed mats, which does not cost much money. As for land, it is the least problematic, and I have never heard of anyone building a house without land - even in the Jingshi.

But what if you want to build a house with brick walls and tiled roof? This cost is a lot - in history, Wei Zhongxian rebuilt the three major halls, and reimbursed more than 5.7 million taels of silver to the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court alone, not counting the investment of Tianqi's own internal funds. Another example is that in "Dream of Red Mansions", Jiafu repaired the Grand View Garden, which cost two or three million, basically spending Lin Daiyu's father's inheritance, and Jiafu itself has almost become an empty shelf.

Of course, in both cases, a large part of the expenses were embezzled. However, it is an indisputable fact that the materials and construction costs for building a house are extremely high in those years. As a former contractor, Lin Hanlong is naturally extremely sensitive to this, and since he came to this time and space, he has been in charge of engineering affairs in the large collective, and has accumulated extremely rich experience in this area.

Therefore, it is up to him to formulate a plan to expand the scale of the capital industry, no matter what the initial path is, the ultimate goal must be to restore his old profession in this late Ming Dynasty: to be a contractor and engage in real estate!
