Since Lei Changye successfully dredging at the mouth of the Yangtze River and transforming the landform of the Yangtze River horn mouth, the next day there have been sea boats taking advantage of the tide to come to Yangzhou. Although these sea ships are not foreign merchant ships, they have also caused a heated discussion on the ground in the south of the Yangtze River.

The news of businessmen is the most well-informed, and the news that Yangzhou Port can enter the sea is spreading quickly along the Yangtze River and the Suzhou-Hangzhou Canal in Dafang Town.

On the third day of Lei Changye's construction of the new town, countless wealthy tycoons from Suzhou and Yang came to Gongdaotang, impassionedly wanting to fund the Wumeng to contribute to the stability of Yangzhou.

The eight southeastern towns observation envoys and jiedu envoys sent envoys to Yangzhou Jieshuai's mansion to swear allegiance to Xuanjin and Xuanxiu, and promised to pay the grain and salary this year, as long as they can continue to do business at the Yangzhou wharf.

All of a sudden, Yangzhou crown cover gathered, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.

Under the activity of Bashu craftsmen and Shushan craftsmen's workshop disciples, various projects in Yangzhou and Xinzhen started at the same time, and Yangzhou was busy everywhere.

The residential areas and commercial streets of Luocheng District, the martial arts arena, the painting workshop, the Changye Card Society, inns and shops in the new town have risen in anticipation and are being built at a speed that the people of Jiangnan have never seen.

Because of the need to dig a unified sewer system, people did not feel the speed of construction in the new town at first.

The speed of their construction is particularly remarkable, as Luo Chengqun's residential areas and shopping streets have a unified sewer system with Gongdaotang and Jieshuaifu, and have already been under construction.

Lei Changye bought both the commercial and residential areas from the affected Yangzhou residents for real money, and he assured them that when the new town was completed, new homes would be built near the new town.

These Yangzhou citizens took the generous remuneration given by Lei Changye, and became the first generation of Datang Demolition, and are about to become the first batch of residents of the new town.

The residential and commercial areas built in Luocheng District, Yangzhou, are the mansions prepared by Lei Changye for the wealthy businessmen who intend to come to Yangzhou for development.

Although these mansions are not as good as the geographical location of the residential area in the north of the city, they are closer to Guazhou Port, easy to enter and exit, and all are new-style buildings, with smooth sewerage, clean and hygienic, and the planning of the urban area is more reasonable than that of the north of the city, and it will become a treasure of feng shui in the future.

The new town that Lei Changye has gathered with great efforts has a unified plan for the whole city, and will be the first clean city in Datang to have a complete sewer system.

After the sewer system and foundation were all completed, the construction speed of the new town was significantly accelerated, and the progress changed day by day, which dazzled the people of Yangzhou.

A few days later, the first ship from Persia successfully sailed into Yangzhou, and the ship full of musk, pepper, frankincense, borneol, rhino horn, ivory, and coral aroused strong onlookers from the people of Yangzhou.

Lei Changye had to send members of the Arrangement Bureau to cooperate with the Yangzhou Arrest Division to maintain order. Xuanjin also dispatched the Baiyin servants to draw a cordon in the city, so that this ship of priceless goods landed safely.

The giants of Yangzhou poured out of the nest, and many businesses that fought to the death on weekdays had to temporarily put aside the controversy and join forces, and finally ate this ship.

And the Yangzhou Festival Marshal's Mansion also ate this first commercial tax beautifully. The commercial tax in the Tang Dynasty was originally thirty taxes and one, but later because of the prosperity of commerce, the imperial court changed it to ten taxes and one tax. However, in the era of Fangzhen's secession, the ten taxes and one were far from meeting the needs of the local feudal governments. As a result, while vigorously developing commerce, the feudal towns with Jiangnan as the main domain also strengthened the collection of commercial taxes.

Huainan under the rule of Xuan Jianhong was the most temperate among the feudal towns, and still implemented the eleven taxes according to the laws of the imperial court. Xuanjin naturally inherited her father's will and collected taxes according to the eleventh. This eleventh tax is enough for tens of thousands.

Since the dredging of Lei Changye, the water depth of Guazhou Port has been wide, and the daily cargo throughput has doubled that of the past. Coupled with the newly built port of Lei Changye, dozens of sea ships come in and out of Yangzhou every day is the minimum, which is a big business of making money every day.

The arrival of this sea ship shows the golden future of Yangzhou.

With this sea ship came the greed of the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River for Lei Changye New Town.

In the area south of the Yangtze River, the merchants are developed, and no matter how powerful the local big families are in the officialdom and on the rivers and lakes, there will always be children of the third or fifth families who are engaged in business, and they are in charge of the family's top resources and connections. These children of families who have been in business for many years have a vicious vision, and they have long seen the treasures contained in the Yangtze River after dredging.

If the trading house is opened in the new town, the foundation is laid in the new port as early as possible, and the goods of these thousands of overseas Hu merchants are preemptively accepted and shipped to all parts of Datang for sale, and the huge profits contained in this are fascinating. Where this is a port, it is a cornucopia.

Three days after the arrival of the Hu Shang sea ship, new ships arrived one after another, and the Guazhou wharf became very lively. With the caravan coming one by one, he was the spokesperson of the major families in Jiangnan and the forces of the town in the world. They flocked into the Hall of Justice, dotted up and down, sharpened their heads, and wanted to preemptively see Lei Changye and negotiate the establishment of the Shijia Firm's new town.

But after these people inquired, they heard that Lei Changye was already talking about business with a wealthy businessman who had made some free subsidies to Gongdaotang, and they were talking very happily. Now these people are not calm.

Lei Changye only recognized one word in his eyes. This is by no means derogatory, but the greatest praise and value for him. Because in the current Jiangnan, his force and power have reached a peak. Force can deal with the strong people at the peak of the eight grades, and power can determine the appointment and dismissal of the Huainan Jiedu envoys.

Trying to threaten him with authority and force is a joke. Only money can never be earned.

Now if you want to occupy a good position around Newtown Harbour, it depends on who can give up your interests. When the spokespersons of these great families saw Lei Changye, they were already mentally prepared to cut meat.

What they didn't know was that the first wave of Su Yanghao businessmen who came to fund Gongdaotang were also told by Lei Changye, saying that the spokesperson of the Jiangnan family and Fangzhen had asked someone to bring the message, saying that they wanted to talk about big business with him, and they were also willing to offer Liangtian Qianqing as a meeting gift.

Moreover, before Lei Changye's words fell, there was already news that the spokespersons of the major families in Jiangnan had entered the city. This made a group of big businessmen with the most unique vision panic. Because the Jiangnan family is very strong in terms of connections, power and funds, it is only unable to compare with these wealthy businessmen in terms of liquidity. Once people start to compete for land sales, they don't have enough to see.

These wealthy businessmen observed their words and eyes, and saw that Lei Changye had an unusual interest in the fields. They immediately joined forces to buy fertile land in the nearby prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and really hoarded thousands of hectares of fertile land to sacrifice to Lei Changye, in order to gain a foothold in the new town.

And their actions, in turn, were known to the Maison's spokesperson. Surprised by the simplicity and ruthlessness of these wealthy businessmen, they did not hesitate to sacrifice thousands of hectares of fertile land to Wumeng, intending to seize the territory of the commercial houses in Xingang.

Lei Changye has harvested thousands of hectares of fertile land, which has prepared him for his future farming plan.

In fact, on the map of the new town for the wealthy businessmen and the children of the family, he did everything and shrunk his plan for the new town by half. Whoever looks at it thinks that these places are not enough to arrange all the commercial houses.

In fact, in his real plan, he had already made a rough share of the important trading houses and family forces in Jiangnan, and at the same time, he also reserved a part of the space for many businesses of the Shantang Gang in the future. In the future, he will continue to widen and deepen the port of Xinzhen with the magic weapon of cutter, suction and dredging, and build an unprecedented large port, which will become a port on a par with Guazhou Port.

The new town built around Xingang has been continuously expanded with the progress of stranding and dredging at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and finally formed a new commercial town. There will only be more and more shops here in the future.

So far, this new town is just a small pie that Lei Changye has drawn for the rich people of the entire Jiangnan. After the feat of sucking and dredging at the mouth of the Yangtze River was broadcast live in the south of the Yangtze River, everyone willingly opened their mouths to eat this small cake he drew with his own hands, and they rushed to eat it.

After Lei Changye allocated enough shop land to the two forces, all parties were overjoyed and left one after another, eagerly looking forward to the completion of this golden new town as soon as possible.

Lei Changye was holding the newly obtained 10,000 hectares of fertile land in his hands, and he didn't want to delay for a moment, so he immediately found Qi Kechai and gave him all the more than 200 stone Y double excellent rice seeds in his hand, and asked him to quickly hire the best farmers in the whole Jiangnan and plant all these seeds.

Now there is no need to think about early rice, so we can only plant rice before the beginning of autumn and see how many stones can be cut in November. These harvests will become Lei Changye's reserves for next year.

By next year, Lei Changye plans to continue to purchase fertile land in the eight towns in the southeast and Jingnannan Town while building the town, and strive to reach a scale of 100,000 hectares, and then sow all the Y double-excellent rice seeds, which will be able to reach a harvest of about 200 million stones. In this way, at least there will be no more food shortages in the areas south of the Yangtze River.

After consulting with everyone, Lei Changye named this future town: Lei Gong Town. He thought the name was quite appropriate, and everyone liked it, but he didn't hear the flattery in their words of approval.

Since the new town is already called Lei Gong Town, the port of the new town in the future, Lei Changye will also be named: Storm Harbor.

This name immediately sparked a big discussion among many members of the Martial Alliance. Many of the new members of the Martial Arts League naturally shook their heads again and again, feeling that this port was really bad. But to their surprise, the old members nodded their heads in praise one after another, their faces full of superiority.

Among them, the most superior, of course, is Zixin. Ever since Lei Changye named Newport Stormhaven, she had a sense of pride that the name was her own. Walking in the corridor of the Flying Fish Lady's boat, I met people and said, "How is it, Storm Harbor, this name is good, right? ”

Yin Lihua and Su Daji, who were asked, both felt very strange, and couldn't help but ask her, "What's good?"

Zixin's face disappeared suddenly, leaving only two big nostrils, one facing a person: "This matter, if you understand, you will naturally understand, and if you don't understand, you won't understand." Even if you don't know how to pretend to understand, if you understand, you can understand that you don't understand. ”
