Chapter 186: Miao's Growth

In addition to cement, Su Hengyu also reopened the glass workshop in Nanyicheng, because of the experience of the glass workshop that was previously opened in the suburbs of Beijing, the glass workshop in Nanyicheng was opened more smoothly.

There are not many people here, and there is wasteland everywhere that can be used, so Su Hengyu found a suitable workshop address very smoothly, there are good things like cement, the workshop was built very quickly, and the workshop here is bigger than the one in the capital.

With the previous experience, this time the workshop Su Hengyu took the craftsmen to plan together and build it more suitable and perfect.

The people here at the border pass are fierce, like the exquisite utensils that are popular in the capital, but they are not popular here at the border pass.

Moreover, the people on this side of Nanyicheng have suffered from the pain of the Huns for many years, and most of them are old people and young children, and every household basically has no money.

Su Hengyu did not hit the people in the surrounding counties, but made a request to Emperor Wei again.

In her compromise, she proposed that the workshop in Beijing could specialize in foreign business, while the workshop on her side was run by the government and only did business for the Great Wei people.

She assured Emperor Wei that only half of the profits from these glassworks would be left as a reserve for the construction of Nanyi City, and the other half would be handed over to the state treasury.

Emperor Wei originally had the intention of supporting the border pass, so he was naturally willing to help Su Hengyu, and the other party proposed that he would call out half of the profit, so of course he would not push the money that went to his pocket out.

In fact, the situation on the border pass is very complicated, in the past few years, the Xiongnu continued to buckle the border, dyeing the surrounding county towns into a blood red.

It was the Xie family who gave up a comfortable life in the capital, resolutely came to the border pass, formed the Xie family army, and always guarded this place, no longer allowing the Xiongnu to invade a step.

However, the tragic experience of the previous years has made many people afraid of the border gates. Seeing that the large and small cities in the border passes continue to lose people, these lands belonging to the Great Wei are about to become wastelands.

A city without people is a city, and land without people will only be occupied by others.

In order to prevent the land they had finally snatched back from being taken away by the Xiongnu, the imperial court could only implement the plan of the people moving north.

First of all, the imperial court was not rich in treasury at that time, and they could not pay compensation for the people to move north, so they could only verbally encourage the people to go to the border to live.

The people are not stupid, moving north requires them to leave their homeland, and they have to walk for so long on the road, I don't know how much silver taels it will cost. When he arrived in the north, he not only had to worry about his life every day, but he didn't know when the Xiongnu would attack.

They want to take such a big risk and get nothing to gain at all, and of course these people don't want to.

The few who wanted to try their luck ended up unable to endure the harsh winds of the Northlands and quickly retreated.

Therefore, there are fewer and fewer people on the border pass, and there is no improvement in the border area.

Now if Su Hengyu's method is effective and makes the border pass gradually prosperous, then the people will take the initiative to go to Nanyicheng and other places to seek a way to survive for themselves without the persuasion of the imperial court.

Over time, the border passes developed, and once the Xiongnu side made trouble again, it was more convenient for the Xie family army to temporarily recruit soldiers.

And the border is prosperous, and there will be more people going to do business, and the most profit-seeking grain merchants will definitely go, so if there is any accident, Xie Jiajun also has a place to buy grain temporarily.

The taxes on the border have not been paid for many years, and Su Hengyu is now only taking out two things, which can revitalize the market in Nanyi City and bring benefits to Dawei.

Wei Di thought about it, but he couldn't find the shortcomings in it.

In this way, he didn't even notify the officials of the court, so he waved his pen and allowed Su Hengyu's request.

Anyway, only themselves and Su Hengyu know the glass making method, so how they want to use glass for the benefit of Dawei is their own business, and others are not qualified to ask.

So, attracted by the two novelties of cement and glass, large numbers of caravans began to go towards the border.

After a whole year, Su Hengyu led the people of Nanyi City to do business and transform this place into a better place.

In addition to the various stalls with the characteristics of Nanyi City spread all over the place, as well as the glass statue in the center of the city, there are also foreign inns that have been specially taught by Su Hengyu's people.

Today's Nanyi City not only has the most rare goods in the entire Great Wei, but also the best quality treatment for merchants in the entire Great Wei.

Therefore, many caravans are willing to come to Nanyicheng to do business, the goods here are rare and cheap, although the local magistrate will not open the door to these merchants, but will not deliberately make it difficult.

In the past, they went to other towns to do business, and in order to get through the local landlords, they had to pay some bribes to the officials.

However, Nanyi City is different, most of the people here are simple, and with the rules formulated by Su Hengyu, they will not cheat when doing business, but they are not afraid of being cheated.

But anyone who is serious about doing business is very willing to communicate with the people of Nanyi City.

In this way, Su Hengyu also got to know many people in charge of the caravan.

In the list handed over by Ziyun this time, Su Hengyu saw a lot of familiar names.

She pointed to one of the trading houses and asked, "Why did they change one of the people who came to do business this year?" ”

Ziyun had already learned about this matter, and replied immediately: "The person in charge of this family is old, and this time he arranged for the little master of his family to come to suppress the formation. However, the head of the caravan was still Li Qiu. ”

"Okay, leave this matter to Ah Miao to be responsible, and she will arrange how much share she will give to each commercial bank this year. She has been studying with several gentlemen for a long time, and some of the burdens should have been borne a long time ago. ”

Ziyun nodded in response, and the others didn't say anything.

She quickly went out with the list, got into a shockproof carriage that had been improved by Su Hengyu and was equipped with springs, and soon headed towards the county office, which had been repaired for less than a year.

Today's county government can be called the most unique building in the whole Nanyi City, different from the quaint atmosphere of Nanyi City Street, with a unique solemn county office, in a low house emerged from the head, it looks very tall.

The young men and women in the county office had serious faces, and they were constantly shuttling between the rooms with different door numbers.

They have a palpable sense of urgency in them, and they don't seem to want to waste a second.

Ziyun walked straight towards the room with the door number of "Ministry of Commerce", and along the way, she kept hearing others calling "Minister Ziyun", she smiled at these people, and soon walked into the "Ministry of Commerce".

There was a large desk in the room, full of papers.

The girl who was buried in the book heard the sound of knocking on the door and opening the door, and suddenly raised her head, revealing a tired face, which was the Ah Miao that Su Hengyu mentioned not long ago.

It's still a few big nights and is busy with the lack of skills.
