Chapter 68 Engaging in development behind closed doors will not work!

On the second day, under the attention of everyone in Shajiabao, Li Daoyi personally presided over the inauguration ceremony of Wang Xiang's castle owner, needless to say. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Before leaving Shajiapu, Li Daoyi gathered Wang Xiang, Wang Gui, the patriarchs of the major families, and more than a dozen merchants in Shajiabao in the meeting hall of Shajiabao, and said: "Shajiabao has an extremely advantageous geographical location and abundant labor resources, so this official is ready to build Shajiabao into a trade center in Jingzhou." What do you think?"

Wang Xiang, who had just become the lord of the castle, immediately fell into deep thought.

The patriarchs of the major families began to discuss enthusiastically, after all, in their eyes, men should study hard and practice martial arts desperately, in order to be able to get ahead on the Warring States Continent and become a marquis and king, instead of engaging in speculation and buying and selling the West without learning and skill.

And Wang Gui and more than a dozen businessmen in Shajiabao naturally praised Li Daoyi's proposal with joy, which would definitely benefit hundreds of people.

In particular, the more than a dozen merchants in Shajiabao had long wanted to use the water conservancy transportation of the Shahe River to conduct large-scale foreign trade. However, the previous owners of Shajiabao strictly forbade any large ships to pass on the Shahe River, and the previous owners of the fort were naturally afraid that the enemy's army would disguise themselves as large merchant ships to carry out a surprise attack on Shajiabao.

After everyone discussed for a long time, the patriarch of the Liu family began to say to Li Daoyi: "Master! Our Liu family has not produced outstanding scholars and martial artists for more than 30 years, and if young and strong young people are allowed to do business, then their studies and martial arts will quickly regress! Therefore, on behalf of the Liu clan, I disagree with the proposal to vigorously develop commerce in Shajiabao!"

"Damn! There is really no lower limit to IQ!" Li Daoyi scolded secretly in his heart, did not have a seizure for the time being, and then said: "Who else has an opinion on this official's proposal?"

The patriarch of the clan surnamed Zhao stood up and said, "Master, if large transport ships are allowed to pass on the Shahe River, then how can we ensure that the enemy army will not disguise themselves as convoys and sneak into Shajiabao? You must know that since the lord of Shajiabao Zhao Kuangyin Fort banned the large-scale transportation of the Shahe River three hundred years ago, our Shajiabao has not been attacked once in three hundred years!"

The patriarch of the clan surnamed Wang couldn't help it, so he said: "Yes! The ancestors set up rules, how can they break it? According to the old man's humble opinion, the young people in my Shajiabao still mainly study literature and practice martial arts, and then take care of the development of agriculture, and there is no need to go into business. ”

"Eh, this Shajiabao has already started the custom of 'closing the country'!" Li Dao finally couldn't help it when he heard this, so he said: "According to the foolish opinion of this official, all the patriarchs are already old fools, and you should all abdicate and make way for Xian!"

"You!"

"You..."

Several old men were all flushed with anger from Li Daoyi, and now their hatred for Li Daoyi was itching. After all, since Li Daoyi came to Shajiabao, he didn't let them feel at ease for a while.

"Hahaha! The patriarchs are angry, and in the humble opinion of the villain, it is still the proposal of the county magistrate Li who is clever. If you don't believe it, let's give an example. As Patriarch Liu said, there have been no outstanding bachelors and martial artists in their clan for decades, so this shows a truth. What is the reason? What do you think, the young people in your Liu clan are studying hard and practicing hard every day, but why can't they produce talented people? The answer is malnutrition! If you can't keep up with your nutrition, your brain will not be able to do well, so no matter how hard you study, you will eventually fall off the list. The nutrition can't keep up, and the body can't grow strong, so when you compete, you are always defeated by strong men. And what is the root cause of malnutrition? Naturally, because of the backwardness of commerce, the people living in Shajiapu have no meat to eat, no vegetables and fruits to eat!"...,

Moreover, it is said that Shajiabao has not been invaded by foreign enemies for nearly three hundred years. The little one thinks that this is not because of the blockade of the Shahe River, but because all countries are now busy fighting on the big battlefield and have no time to take care of a small village. ”

After Wang Gui laughed, he stated his views in two parts.

Wang Gui's point of view is exactly what Li Daoyi wants to say.

"That's right! I've been eating wowotou since I was a child! Except for the Chinese New Year, I haven't even seen a drop of oil on weekdays! How do I study? How do I practice martial arts?"

"That's it!"

"Agreed!"

...

The more than a dozen merchants in Shajiabao said one after another.

"Wang Xiang, you have been silent for so long, you should show your attitude! This is the first major matter you will have to deal with after you become the lord of Shajiabao Fort, I hope you will not disappoint this official!" Li Daoyi's face sank, and he asked Wang Xiang seriously.

Wang Xiang thought that transportation on the Shahe River should be opened up and commerce should be vigorously developed in Shajiabao. Just as Wang Guiyuan said, our generation has grown up eating pasta, and it can even be said that we have grown up eating nests, so our brains and body development are not good! Therefore, Wang Xiangyan believes that we should vigorously develop commerce, vigorously grow fruits and vegetables, and then invigorate animal husbandry, so that the common people can eat fruits and meat. In this way, the next few generations of our Shajiapu will definitely be able to grow excellent heads and strong bodies. When the time comes, there will definitely be many talents in Shajiabao!"

In response to the invasion, Wang Xiang thought that Shajiabao should vigorously develop commerce. Because you can get a lot of silver taels by developing commerce, and with silver taels, you can build more large warships and recruit more warriors. With a large and sturdy warship and well-trained professional soldiers, Shajiabao will not be afraid of any enemy invasion!"

Wang Xiang also stated his views in two parts.

"That's it, that's it, it seems that the old man is really old! I don't have any more opinions on County Magistrate Li's proposal. In the future, the development of Shajiabao will be handled by you young people! The old man retired first!" After listening to Wang Xiang's words, the patriarch of the clan surnamed Wang reluctantly said that he would unload his armor and return to the field.

Several other family patriarchs saw that the patriarch with the largest surname in Shajiabao had compromised, so they all said that they would not ask about the matter anymore.

Seeing that several stumbling blocks to the development of Shajiabao's business had been removed, Li Daoyi's mind suddenly became a lot easier.

He also said to Wang Xiang: "Wang Xiang, Master Ben and the more than 1,000 people of Shajiabao have high hopes for you! I hope that you will be able to do things in the future without sticking to the pedantic rules of officialdom and earnestly regard improving the living standards of the common people in Shajiabao as the first priority! In the development of commerce, you can join hands with these more than 10 businessmen in Shajiabao, and I will also ask Wang Guiren to help you and provide you with the supply and sales channels in the early stage. In addition, after the development of Shajiabao, there will inevitably be a large influx of immigrants. When the time comes, you can relax the immigration policy appropriately to attract wealthy businessmen from all over the world to settle down. Remember, development behind closed doors won't work!"

"You must remember! If the rich and capable people of Shajiabao leave Shajiabao and settle in other countries, then this proves that you are incompetent! You should step down! If the rich and talented people of other countries hear about your ability and come to settle down, then this proves that you are well governed!"

Wang Xiang couldn't stop nodding.

"Okay! It's time for this official to leave Shajiabao! Wang Xiang, I'm sure we'll meet again soon. Hehe, when the time comes, this official will have to take a good look at your political achievements! Your political achievements are not how much silver you have handed over to the treasury of Wudang County, let alone how much wheat you have sent to the granary of Wudang County, but the satisfaction of the people with their lives!"

After bidding farewell to Wang Xiang, Li Daoyi and Wang Gui left Shajiabao in a flat boat...
