After determining the land on the west coast of the Bo Ni Kingdom, Fan Ning immediately rushed back to Brunei, the capital of the Bo Ni Kingdom, and formally signed a land transfer agreement with the King of Bo Ni, so that the Song Dynasty obtained about 7,000 square kilometers of land on the western coast of the Bo Ni Kingdom.

Three days later, Fanning returned to Luzon, which at this time was like a big construction site, construction was in full swing everywhere, the road from the county seat to the harbor dock had been built, and a wide and straight avenue led from the harbor to the county seat.

The city wall of Xinyan County has taken shape, the tents in the city have been reduced to only more than 70, and on the endless plain along the river in the west of the county, three huge waterwheels appear by the river, with the help of the power of the water, day and night to carry the river water into the ravine.

The field is full of people who are cultivating fields and planting vegetables, and all kinds of vegetables have quietly sprouted, and everywhere is full of vitality and prosperity.

Luzon is simply the second Kunzhou, with the experience of Kunzhou, the abundant labor and financial resources, the people who are full of infinite expectations for a new life, the officials who are dedicated to doing things, and the well-trained army with high morale, the construction of Luzon is of course progressing rapidly.

Zhang Nan came to the dock to welcome Fan Ning's return, and seeing Fan Ning getting off the boat in good spirits, Zhang Nan smiled and said: "It seems that your trip to the South Seas is very smooth!" ”

Fanning shook his head and said, "The land I wanted, the Three Buddhas, resolutely refused to give it to us, but the Bo Ni Kingdom was very generous and sold us a rich port land with a thousand horses of silk, which can only be regarded as the completion of my backup plan." ”

"So the next step is to build a new port?"

"That's right, this time I plan to bring 10,000 Japanese laborers over and build a wharf, a warehouse, and a small county town first."

"What about the people?"

Zhang Nan asked a little worriedly, "Is the envoy planning to move part of it from here?" ”

"This is not necessary, Xingang is a military city and a shopping mall, there will only be a large number of merchants in the future, I don't plan to move too many people over, at most a few hundred households, just select some from the immigrants in Quanzhou and Fuzhou."

"I understand the lowly position, I don't know when the envoy will ask the Japanese laborers to pass?"

"The sooner the better, and it's better to leave early tomorrow morning."

Fanning really hopes to build a new port as soon as possible and establish a commercial base in Nanyang to cooperate with the industrial development within the Great Song Dynasty.

Early the next morning, twenty oarboats carrying 2,000 soldiers and 20 10,000-stone ships carrying 10,000 Japanese laborers left Luzon Bay for the newly purchased new port.

A few days later, Fanning returned to Newport, only to find a number of ships moored in the harbor, including Akihito's ship.

When Fanning came ashore, nearly a hundred Song Dynasty merchants, led by Akihito, came to meet him.

Fanning was really surprised by the keen sense of smell of these merchants, and asked with a smile, "How do you know that I bought this land?" ”

Akihito said triumphantly: "We heard that you and Sriwijaya did not reach a land purchase agreement, so we guessed that you would definitely buy land in Boni Country, so we all came to Boni to inquire, and we knew about this place!" ”

Fan Ning smiled happily: "It seems that everyone is looking forward to this new port!" ”

Everyone said: "We have been discriminated against by the Sriwijaya for decades, and we are waiting for this day to allow us to set up a transit warehouse in the South Seas, so that we can sit in the South Seas and trade with Western merchant ships.

Fan Ning nodded and said: "This new port is completely the port of the Great Song Dynasty, which belongs to Quanzhou, and the Quanzhou City Shipping Division will establish an official office here, and there will be two thousand Great Song Dynasty naval troops and hundreds of warships stationed all year round, so everyone's interests and safety will be fully guaranteed." ”

"May I ask you, can we buy land here to build warehouses and shops?"

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "Of course you can buy it, the condition is that if you buy it, you must build it immediately, and you are not allowed to hoard land, but I haven't considered the construction of the dock and the military city yet." ”

Akihito hurriedly stepped forward and handed a roll of drawings to Fanning, "This is our unanimous opinion, how to build docks, shops and warehouses, everyone has drawn a map, please refer to it." ”

Their efficiency is very high, actually for their own consideration, but these businessmen are experienced, know what they need, according to their ideas to build a port is not impossible, Fanning opened the drawings and looked at it, these people are really thoughtful, the warehouse is very close to the unloading area, the business house and shops are placed in the back, the advantage of this is to greatly save the handling intensity, convenient warehousing and warehousing.

But Fanning is a strategic envoy after all, he needs to consider more things than businessmen, such as military docks, grain and other material supply warehouses, in addition to he also hopes to deepen cooperation with the Bo Ni country, the most realistic is the dock labor, Fan Ning does not plan to let the Japanese laborers do it, it is best to hire the workers of the Bo Ni country, and he also hopes that the merchants of the Bo Ni country will also be stationed in Xingang, and the Bo Ni merchants will bring their own specialties, the most famous here is ambergris and agarwood.

Fanning nodded, and said to everyone: "If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for two more days, and after two days, I will make a plan for the harbor, and then sell the land, it just so happens that there are Japanese laborers and house-builders here, and you can ask craftsmen and Japanese laborers to build warehouses and shops." ”

Although many people are like arrows, but no one will leave at this time, and they will start selling land in two days, and go back by themselves, at least for more than a month, the daylily is cold.

The 10,000 laborers did not have time to rest, and soon they were in a state of state, and now that the warehouses and shops had not yet been built, and the location of the military city had not been determined, the laborers began to cut down wood and burn bricks.

Fanning stayed in Xingang for three days, more than a dozen officials and businessmen followed him to busy the harbor planning, under the collective wisdom of everyone, the planning map of the harbor was finally formulated, the wharf is divided into two parts: the military wharf and the commercial wharf, the army warship wharf is in the north, occupying three percent of the wharf, is a relatively independent wharf.

The vast area to the south is a commercial wharf, which can accommodate 100,000 stone ships to berth and unload at the same time, and hundreds of 10,000 stone ships can be temporarily berthed in the outer bay.

The commercial port is divided into three districts and one city, namely the warehouse area, the trade area, the commercial area and the new port city, the roads are wide, extending in all directions, and the small city behind is the government office and residential places.

All the plots have been painted with lime, and the outline of the port area has come out.

On the wharf, more than a hundred merchants quarreled, and although there were hundreds of plots to choose from, everyone wanted to get the best plot, that is, the first row of shops.

There are four rows of plots in the trade zone, the first row has sixty-one pieces, the middle of which is the official office of the city shipping department, and every merchant ship must be registered when it arrives.

There is also a tax office at the seaport of Luo Yu, the capital of the Sriwijaya Kingdom, and each merchant must pay a commercial tax of three percent according to the value of the goods, that is, three percent, and then leave the port with the tax bill.

However, the new port of the Song Dynasty implemented tax exemption, no matter the goods in and out, there is no need to pay taxes here, but must obey the management, truthfully register the types of goods, but overseas goods into the Great Song Dynasty, but have to pay three percent of commercial tax, in Guangzhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou and other ports to pay taxes, in the new port is not needed, which gives overseas merchants an illusion, in the new port trade is completely tax-free.

But the wool always comes out of the sheep, and of course the middlemen will add the three percent tax in the bargaining, but compared with the high intermediate profits of the Sriwijaya merchants, the middle merchants of the Song Dynasty still seem to be kind and fair.

"Everyone, stop arguing!"

An official came over and said loudly: "The envoy has decided to use the method of drawing lots to decide the ownership of each block, let's go to the tent and gather!" ”

A huge tent was set up on the plot of the city's shipping department, which was the temporary government office of the port area, several officials arranged the venue, and a large table was placed on a large lot, and more than 100 plots were in the lot.

In a moment, more than 100 businessmen gathered together, Fanning waved his hand, and everyone fell silent.

Fan Ning said slowly: "Before drawing lots, I want to say two things, the first thing, I hope that everyone will sit together for a while to negotiate and establish the Great Song Xingang Chamber of Commerce, which is mainly to prevent Western businessmen from taking advantage of the competition between Song merchants to reduce prices, and at the same time mediate the contradictions between merchants, which is the businessman's own organization to protect his own interests." ”

This suggestion has been unanimously approved by everyone, the establishment of a chamber of commerce is an important means for businessmen to protect their own rights and interests, this has long been a consensus, but the Sriviya country does not allow them to set up a chamber of commerce, in the final analysis, they are still afraid of businessmen uniting.

Fan Ning and the others quieted down and continued: "The second thing is about this lottery, I need to explain to you that there are six privileged lots, four of which are for the Great Song Dynasty, two for the Bo Ni Kingdom, I believe that everyone is more interested in the four for the Great Song Dynasty, I will announce to you, one is the military privilege sign, one is the imperial merchant privilege sign, and the other two privilege lots are awarded to the two major Quanzhou firms that have made great contributions to the establishment of Xingang, they provided twenty 20,000 stone oars rowing merchant ships free of charge, one is the Fan's firm, One is Li's Commercial Bank, and the above six do not need to draw lots, and directly obtain six first-row shop plots. ”

There is nothing to say about this privilege, and everyone is convinced.

Fanning glanced at everyone, and then announced: "You can draw lots according to the numbers drawn when you enter the door, in the order of numbers, and now go to the stage to draw lots." ”
