Chapter 409: The Great Merchant

After Wang Peng left, Zheng Xiong hurriedly drafted a memo, requisitioned himself to dig the river and diverted the route, and mentioned the matter of building the bridge.

It is conceivable what kind of expression Lao Zhu had when he received this news.

Confused, shocked, and then furious.

"Nonsense."

Slammed the table, Lao Zhu picked up the piece and read it twice.

Confirm that is correct.

Lao Zhu slapped the piece off the table heavily.

"Mao Xiang, what's wrong with Zheng Xiong lately, why is he doing things so absurdly?"

I don't know where Mao Xiang came from, it seems that he has been there all along, and suddenly appeared in front of Lao Zhu.

"Back to Your Majesty, the land of the seven counties wants to build a straight road, when the Liuhe County Order was mentioned, the doctor said it, but it was only a joke, so it was not reported."

"And the whereabouts of the doctor are still the same, and there is nothing abnormal."

That's a convulsion, definitely a convulsion.

Normal people who would think of doing this.

"No, let him stay in peace of mind to govern the government."

Lao Zhu picked up the piece again, and just wanted to refuse.

Then he seemed to think of something, and immediately took the piece and left.

"Sister, you check for us and see what kind of medicine is sold in Zheng Xiong's gourd?"

Needless to say?

It was specified as a convulsion.

Like Lao Zhu, Queen Ma also watched it several times.

Then there was a long silence.

Digging rivers and diverting them, small projects, and requisitioning and requisitioning people are not big problems.

But building a bridge across the river is not something that people can do!

No one can.

"Can you believe this kid?"

As soon as Queen Ma's words came out, it was Lao Zhu's turn to frown.

Believing should be believing.

A concrete city wall is worth impressing.

That's right, cement!

If you use cement to get it, maybe you really have a chance.

Lao Zhu's eyes lit up.

"Could it be that he wants to build a bridge out of cement?"

"Possibly, you know the cement, can it withstand the long-term erosion?"

I don't know, it's not verified.

But from the city walls, the feasibility is huge.

"Cement can replace masonry, and it is not clear when it encounters water, so he dares to do it, and he should be somewhat sure."

Queen Ma nodded her head.

"In that case, why not try."

"Cheng is connecting the north and the south, leaving a legacy for future generations."

"It doesn't matter if it doesn't work, we can't lose anything, do you say it?"

Lao Zhu just wanted to talk about money, but he swallowed it back when he came to his mouth.

Talking about money seems to be a little bit of a child.

It's better not to say it.

"Then try it!"

"Master Hou, the manpower you recruited is already in place, and when I heard that there was a salary to be paid, I rushed to be the first one by one, for fear that it would be too late."

"The government found out and sent a boat to the other side."

"This is a river that needs to be dug."

"It is twelve miles long and two miles wide, and the depth is lower than that of the river, so it must be able to accommodate the water of the Yangtze River."

I'll go, Wang Peng just reacted.

Like everyone else.

Zheng Xiong is crazy.

Dig the river and divert it, let's eat and support it!

"Master Hou, what are you going to do here?"

"Don't ask what you shouldn't, just do things."

Then don't ask, Wang Peng is very knowledgeable.

"Xia Guan understands, how do these people arrange, eating and drinking are all on the opposite side? Does the government want to arrange food? ”

"Let Liuhe County arrange it, and the person who eats will buy grain and grass, send it to the opposite side on time, and take care of two meals."

"In addition, the government decree will be passed on, and the big businessmen of the eight counties of the Yingtianfu will be summoned, and let them come to the government tomorrow, and the government has something to say."

"This is a handwritten notice from this government, you take it to the printing house and ask them to print a thousand copies for me, which will be useful tomorrow."

"Okay, Master Hou."

A piece of paper that is light and fluttering, and you don't feel the slightest weight in your hand.

Wang Penggang arranged for someone to notify the big businessman, and he was trying to arrange for someone to send things over.

I accidentally saw the content on the paper, and I was not calm for a moment.

It's really on paper, it's shocking.

When it spread, it was undoubtedly another big earthquake.

Crazy, Zheng Fu Yin is crazy.

Out of sight is clear, Wang Peng hurriedly arranged for someone to send this hot potato to the printing house.

It's just that I can't calm down at all.

The next day, the government was overcrowded.

They are all big businessmen in one government and eight counties in Nanjing.

Zheng Xiong specially chose a spacious place to lie on the recliner.

Offstage was a crowd of people standing.

Each of them is worth a lot of money and has a good reputation.

It's just that money alone is useless.

Shinong industry and commerce, business is always last.

In this era of the official standard.

Zheng Xiong gave an order, but he still had to come over obediently and wait for Zheng Xiong's instructions.

There was one person in the crowd, quite conspicuous.

It's not that he's old enough, but he stands out from the crowd, and everywhere he goes, someone respectfully salutes.

You know, it's all big businessmen.

can make everyone respectful, which undoubtedly shows that the identity of the person who came is extremely high.

Although Zheng Xiong squinted, he had a sleepy expression.

But Zheng Xiong is still paying attention to the next everyone's every move.

With a little ear, I vaguely got the answer from everyone's name, but I wasn't sure.

Zheng Xiong beckoned, and Wang Peng hurried over.

I saw Zheng Xiong pointing at the man and asking.

"His surname is Shen, is his name Shen Wansan?"

"Yes, the section from Jubaomen to Shuixi Gate of Nanjing City Wall was built by him, and he built one-third of the entire section of the city wall, which is really respectable."

Just call Shen Wansan.

"Isn't he in Suzhou? Why did you call him over? ”

"Master Hou doesn't know, he has many industries in Nanjing City, there are 1,654 corridors, four restaurants, and countless other large and small industries.

No matter how long you can live, it's not certain!

If I'm not mistaken, Lao Shen's life is about to enter the countdown!

After the city wall was built, it was a matter of a million taels of troops.

The death period is just recently, and it's quite idle.

Zheng Xiong didn't care about Shen Wansan, no matter how much money he had, it was useless in front of Lao Zhu.

How many people say no, it's not immediately gone.

One Shen Wansan is not yet ranked.

"Let them be quiet, and send them the notice that the house printed yesterday."

It's coming, big event, I don't know what expressions these people will show when they see it.

Wang Peng suddenly looked forward to it.

"Stop for a while, this is the notice from Master Hou, one for each person."

What?

The first person to get the notice was full of doubts.

Soon there was no doubt.

The big characters are like scimitars, ripping at their own flesh all the time.

"Impossible, the tax that Your Majesty gave us is only thirty taxes and one, although you are a marquis and in charge of Ying Tianfu, you can't modify the tax rate at will, if so, I will not accompany you and say goodbye."

The man saluted and prepared to leave.

was stopped by Zheng Xiong.

I don't know when, Zheng Xiong sat up and said lightly.

"This government is not to discuss with you, but to formally inform you, including you."

"From now on, all the big businessmen in Tianfu, one government and eight counties will be taxed at five taxes and one tax."

"And the government will arrange for someone to audit the accounts every month, and if you don't pay, you will bear the consequences."

It's a damn sense of oppression.

When Zheng Xiong stood up from his sitting, an invisible power rushed to his face.

Everyone was silent.
