Difficult, not scary.

It's scary to not use your brains.

As long as the government is there, how can no one settle the bills for the project, and how can no one do it?

After Xia Guoen and Wang Tai returned, they began to contact the large gentry who were able to contract the project, and sure enough, as Wang Wu expected, the large gentry were very enthusiastic about participating in the subcontracting of the Jingzhou Mancheng Project.

First, to participate in the construction of Jingzhou Mancheng is to serve the country and share worries for the Qing Dynasty;

Second, the high cost of the project means that the profit is high.

It's like advancing 50,000 taels, and when you turn around, you can get 100,000 taels or even more from the government for the project, and you can deal with the government and even the Eight Banners officials in Jingzhou, and you can invisibly form new contacts, and it is difficult to find such a good thing with a lantern.

In the end, the Mancheng project, which cost a total of more than 2.6 million taels, was subcontracted layer by layer.

According to Wang Wu's understanding, there may be two packs under one pack, three packs under the second pack, or even more packs.

But it has nothing to do with him.

As long as someone is working.

Jin Daotai, who knew that he could not gain a foothold in Wuchang, consciously took on a new role - Wang Dutong's cronies.

Therefore, it is necessary to remind the metropolitan master to contract like this, and the project profits will be handled together, and in the end, the actual work may not be much benefit, so in order to save expenses and increase profits, it will definitely cut corners.

The quality of the city built in this way is really deserving.

In case the official sent by Yanjing fails to pass the acceptance, it will be a big incident and a lot of heads will be lost.

Wang Wu looked at the golden platform again and again, but he didn't say anything.

"Did your Excellency mean this?"

After realizing the truth, Jin Daotai couldn't help but feel a shock in his heart, and couldn't help but regret that he shouldn't have offended the Governor in the first place, so he didn't even have a way out now.

If this is if the Dutong Lord is still in the Ming Dynasty in the Qing camp, wouldn't he just get on the thief ship?

But who can be blamed for this?

At the beginning, he was the first to surrender, and took the initiative to act as the leg of the king's five dogs, changing the law to torture the governor.

The Governor of the People's Republic did not kill him after he regained his freedom, so he was worthy of him.

And now, even if he wants to quit, he has to ask Lord Totong if he agrees.

It's really frustrated, and after thinking about it, I still ask Lord Dutong to bring his wife and children from his hometown to Jingzhou, lest something really happen in the future, and the court will behead him again.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be someone else who will rebel in the future, so even if the city is repaired to the end, there is not even a city gate, and Yanjing will have to coax me."

Wang Wu still has a lot of respect for the two Daotai masters he finally obtained, because he really has no talent at hand, and the illiteracy rate of his subordinates is at least 98 percent, not to mention 100 percent.

Although the character of this traitor official is not good, he really has the ability to do things, and he Wang Wuyi alone can't handle such a big mess of things, so I hope that Jin Daotai can devote himself wholeheartedly, and he doesn't have other ideas or worries.

Who is this other person, Jin Daotai guessed with his ass, combined with the recent series of personnel transfers to Yungui in the Tang newspaper, he couldn't help but have some bottom, so as not to be too worried.

The quality of the project can be dealt with, but Wang Wu attaches more importance to the boundary wall.

Without a wall, how can the 20,000 Eight Banners soldiers and civilians be kept in captivity?

Therefore, he personally inspected the lime line, and finally marked a few black spots on the drawing, and said to Zhang, the old brother-in-law who was in charge of the construction of the boundary wall, that these black spots should be reserved for drainage ditches.

The gutter is also exquisite, and the width is about the same as a coffin.

Although Zhang didn't know anything about the project, he also knew that it was definitely unreasonable to open such a large drainage ditch on the boundary wall, and he didn't dare to ask Wang Dutong in person, so he secretly wrote to his uncle who was the governor.

As a result, my uncle replied that Wang Dutong could do whatever he wanted, and you should cooperate.

Wang Wu is now the commander of the Eight Banners of the Han Army, and there are three Eight Banners of the Han Army under his command, and according to the rules, they should also live in the city.

But Wang Wu didn't want to live in the city, so he needed a reason.

Just thinking about it, Qian Daotai, who was engaged in a pilot project in Yichang, came back, and at the same time brought back 13,000 taels of cash and a list of its slaves.

There are 140 people on the list, all of whom are heads of households.

In other words, Qian Daotai developed 140 slaves for the Dutong Lord in Jingzhou.

Considering that the tax cannot be drastically reduced, it is easy for the household department of Yanjing to find that the account books are wrong.

Therefore, Qian Daotai's development in Yichang is all middle-class households, with at least 50 acres of land and more than 100 acres of land.

In other words, the tax of about 10,000 acres of fertile land will no longer have to pay summer tax to the government this year, but will instead pay land rent to the metropolitan lords.

And these 140 households will also be demarcated from the taxable households per mu of land in Yichang Prefecture.

At first, the flag fee was not high, only 20 taels, but it finally rose to 45 taels under various operations of Qian Daotai.

That's it, at present, there is no price in Yichang.

Because this flag entry project was suspended.

"It's only 140 households, why did it stop?"

Wang Wu was not satisfied with Qian Wentao's own proposal, he had seen the register of government households in Yichang, and there were several thousand middle-sized households in the entire Yichang Mansion, and according to the plan to develop 40 percent of the flags in the first year, at least 3,000 or 4,000 households should be developed this year.

140 households, not even a fraction.

Seeing that there is only half a year left, if you don't work overtime to develop, what will you stop?

Qian Daotai explained that as soon as the news of his slaves was released, the landlords in Yichang rushed to be the first to be slaves to the royal capital.

The landlords are very good at accounting, and it doesn't matter if the flag fee is high, because this is a one-time payment.

You don't need to pay it again after handing it over.

In the future, only one-third of the land tax will be paid to the metropolitan lord every year, and the two-thirds of the savings will be added up to a large amount of money, and the flag entry fee is not worth mentioning compared with it.

Moreover, the Han people who became their slaves had some privileges compared to ordinary Han people, even if they were guilty of the judge's office, they had no right to arrest them, and they had to be under the white flag of the Han army to control the yamen before they were qualified to arrest people.

Driven by interests, changing the clan is a trivial matter, and he is nominally a slave.

Therefore, the "slaves" were very popular with the landlords in Yichang.

"If the market response is good, why not promote it?"

Wang Wudaqi.

Qian Daotai said that he had encountered some trouble.

It's also related to the city.

That is, the Qing court built a full city in Jingzhou and settled in the Eight Banners, and the four thousand households and Eight Banners soldiers customized each household to divide 120 acres of land, and a total of more than 500,000 acres of land were required.

It is certainly impossible for all the local fertile land in Jingzhou to be allocated to the garrison of the Eight Banners, so it is inevitable to enclose land in neighboring prefectures.

Therefore, many landlords are worried that the land under their names will be taken away by the government, and they heard that the kings of the eight banners of the Han army are all unified after collecting their slaves, and they are holding silver to pay for the flag.

At first, Qian Daotai was quite happy, but later he was reminded by Nu Dahai that the imperial court might enclose land in Yichang, and immediately understood that the money might be hot.

At that time, the land under the names of these landlords who have become slaves will be encircled as the garrison and support land of the Eight Banners, what should I do?
