Two years later, Quanzhou. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

There have been earth-shaking changes, from a small county on the border, to a pearl standing on the edge of the sea.

The whole city of Quanzhou has become more and more prosperous.

These changes have all taken place under the continuous promotion of Li Mu.

In the past two years, Li Mu has put forward many suggestions to Wei Dayong on the development of Quanzhou.

In addition to the continuous growth of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce in the past two years, driven by Haixue Salt, Quanzhou's commercial development has also initially had a certain scale from the initial embryonic state.

With the prosperity of commerce, it also led to the development of foreign trade.

The frequent exchanges between Quanzhou and foreign trade will naturally complement the local commercial development of Quanzhou, and under the promotion of this cycle.

Quanzhou has become a prosperous commercial state, and this prosperity has naturally brought rich taxes to the Quanzhou government.

With the taxation of Quanzhou Prefecture, Thorn Shiwei Dayong, under the advice of Li Mu, increased the infrastructure construction in Quanzhou, especially the construction of roads.

In this way, it can not only increase the control of the Quanzhou government over the locality, but also shorten the time for travel between various places as much as possible.

There is another advantage of increasing infrastructure construction, that is, more craftsmen are needed, and Wei Dayong did not recruit laborers for free according to Li Mu's proposal, as in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Rather, it is to learn the construction of Quanzhou Port, and spend money to hire laborers to carry out infrastructure construction in Quanzhou.

In this way, the people can be paid for their labor, and the people will have free money in their hands, and the people will be able to improve their lives after having spare money.

In addition, Li Mu, through his identity as a driver in Quanzhou, asked the officials at all levels to notify the governors of each township and tell the villagers in charge how to prevent the spread of the disease, as well as how to prevent malaria and other diseases.

The people of Quanzhou began to talk about hygiene, so that they could indirectly increase the population of Quanzhou, and population was the most valuable resource in ancient times.

Originally, Wei Dayong didn't agree with Li Mu's things, but when he saw that through the method that Li Mu told, he did save a village.

Wei Dayong is more active than Li Mu in implementing Li Mu's requirements to prevent the spread of diseases.

The Quanzhou officials, who originally adopted a negative attitude towards Li Mu's order, which was tantamount to a joke, carried it out more thoroughly after seeing that this method really worked.

This also indirectly established Li Mu's position in the hearts of these local officials, and it was no longer an interest group surrounded by the interests of Hai Xueyan, and Li Mu really had influence in their hearts.

.....

In the past two years, Quanzhou Port has also completed the first phase of the construction plan, which can fully reach the level of initial commercial use.

The shipyard also built twenty ships over the course of two years.

The reason why 20 ships can be built in two years is because Li Mu divided the shipyard of Quanzhou Port a year ago.

The part of the construction of the clipper ship was moved to Mawei Port, and the reason why the construction site of the clipper ship was moved to Mawei Port was to facilitate the Quanzhou Navy Division to receive the ship.

Moreover, the clipper shipyard is located in Mawei Port, which is also convenient for on-site maintenance of damaged warships, and there is no need to drive the ship to Quanzhou Port for maintenance.

The second point is that clippers are not commercial ships, but war ships, and are not suitable for civilian shipyards.

....

Two years later, on this day, Quanzhou City seemed to be very lively, and almost all the people in Quanzhou City knew that today was the day of the prosperous gathering of Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce.

And those who don't know are only the nerds who don't listen to things outside the window and only read the books of sages.

Today is not only the day of the annual gathering of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, but also has a special thing to do, that is, today is also the day when the fortune boat is sold.

Outside the Hongyun Building, draped in red and hung colors.

The entire Hongyun Building has been contracted by the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the idlers are not allowed to enter, only the members of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, after holding the invitation letter of the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce and the Shoushan Stone that indicates its membership.

The guards outside the Hongyun Building will put it in, these two are indispensable, and if there is one missing, the guards outside the Hongyun Building will not be allowed to pass.

If someone breaks in, it will be simple, the Quanzhou Mansion Prison will open the door for those who break in, and the guards will hand it over to the government to let them go inside for a while to be sober and sober.

Who let the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce stand behind the assassin Shi Wei Dayong, and Li Mu, these two people represent the will of the entire Quanzhou officialdom.

Especially Li Mu, because of the sea snow salt, in the past two years, the officialdom of Quanzhou has not received a lot of ice and charcoal tax.

The local officials in the entire Quanzhou officialdom, because of Li Mu, have undergone great changes in their lives, and they cannot be said to be living luxuriously, but compared with officials at the same level in other states and counties, they can be regarded as wealthy officials.

Therefore, the magistrates up and down Quanzhou are very protective of this hard-won life, and for Li Mu, who has brought them such changes, his voice is naturally sometimes more effective than Wei Dayong.

On the main road in the center of Quanzhou City, a four-wheeled carriage, dragged by three horses, slowly went towards Hongyun Building, the carriage was exquisitely made, very luxurious.

At a glance, a discerning person knows that this four-wheeled carriage runs on the bluestone road, and the people sitting in it will not produce a little bumpy feeling.

Because this carriage is a BMW brand carriage sold by Chang'an Duobao Pavilion, looking at the envious eyes of the surrounding crowd, you can know that this carriage is very valuable and not something that ordinary people can use.

Because the lowest price of each carriage sold by Duobao Pavilion is 2,000 taels of gold, in the words of the Treasure Hunting Pavilion, this kind of carriage is a symbol of status, a kind of walking luxury.

At this time, there was a wooden carriage from the Tang Dynasty that was not slow, and it was about to overtake this four-wheeled carriage.

The wooden carriage that was speeding behind was Wu Fugui, who was known as the richest man in Quanzhou City, and the original Wu Fugui was not the richest man in Quanzhou City.

Two years ago, he was the shopkeeper of a small shop in Quanzhou City, running his own small business.

However, Wu Fugui, although the business he runs is very small, his ambition is not small, but in the ancient times of the barbaric capital of this family, no matter how big the ambition is, it can't make waves.

Originally, Wu Fugui also thought so, but God was pitiful, knowing that he Wu Fugui was talented, so he gave him a gift.

Two years ago, Wu Fugui coincidentally attended a symposium held by the government, and at this meeting, all the shopkeepers of large and small shops in Quanzhou came.

Wu Fugui is just the most inconspicuous one in it, but this most inconspicuous one is the most daring one.

Because he is not stupid, Wu Fugui knows that with a small shopkeeper like him, if he wants to seize the opportunity and get the greatest benefit from this opportunity, he must learn from the Mao Sui self-recommendation in the book, the rafter that punctures clothes.

As he expected, as the first shopkeeper to sign up to join the Quanzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the first to borrow money from the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce will naturally give him more care for this first.

In the distribution of sea snow salt, it is natural to tilt a little.

Wu Fugui, who seized the opportunity, grew explosively into the richest man in Quanzhou City in only two years.

Wu Fugui, who was sitting in the carriage today, came to seize his second chance, and in order to hurry, Wu Fugui naturally kept urging the groom to hurry up.

When the carriage turned to the main road in the center of Quanzhou City, Wu Fugui opened the curtain again to urge, and his eyes inadvertently saw the four-wheeled carriage in front.

Suddenly, I was shocked! (To be continued.) )
