Chapter 351: Wait a few days News from the Orc Alliance
Jiang Xingchen introduced the Duan family's father and son into the lord's mansion and brewed two cups of fragrant tea with his own hands. The Duan family father and son had heard of the reputation of tea, but they had never tasted it, and when they drank it, they suddenly felt fragrant and had an endless aftertaste.
"Good tea, good tea!" Duan Qingshi praised repeatedly, and Duan Tiehammer also nodded again and again. They have all heard that the price of this cup of tea is about a thousand citrine coins, and Jiang Xingchen took it out to entertain them, which can be said to be grand.
After drinking a cup and brewing it again, Jiang Xingchen opened his mouth to mention the matter of letting the architectural family continue to expand the territory.
As soon as this matter was mentioned, the expressions of the two immediately became serious, and Duan Qingshi asked: "Lord Jiang, your territory has expanded by twenty miles, plus a large area of wetlands and hills, I am afraid that it will be thirty miles, I don't know how big you want to expand, do you have any specific plans?"
Jiang Xingchen said: "The general plan has been made, but it is not yet specific, the preliminary estimate is that the expansion of the new city is based on a road leading to the wetland hills, spreading outward into several areas, and then each area is connected by a ring road ......."
Listening to Jiang Xingchen's description, the Duan family father and son gasped continuously, according to this plan, the project is more than ten times larger than the construction of the new town, and the cost of the underground system alone is probably greater than the construction of the new town. The overall cost is absolutely astronomical, and they can't even make a budget for it for a while.
Gollum swallowed his saliva, and Duan Qingshi muttered, "That...... Lord Jiang, your plan is too big, even if our Duan family mobilizes all the craftsmen, I am afraid it will be difficult to ...... in ten or eight years."
Jiang Xingchen waved his hand and said, "This is not a problem, the people of your construction family are all skilled. It's good to be in charge of commanding, and people will naturally be recruited to do it!"
The corners of Duan Tiehammer's mouth twitched, and he secretly said in his heart: "Recruit people." How many people do you have to recruit for such a big project? The key is money, and the wages alone are huge!"
Duan Qingshi hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Jiang, even if you recruit people, I'm afraid it will ...... This project is too big, if it drags on for a long time, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait!"
"It doesn't matter. I also have a group of craftsmen here! In addition, I also consider that it is a bit difficult for your Duan family to bear it independently, and I am ready to bid for bids from outside. Find more families who do architecture!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
"Uh!" The Duan family father and son were stunned when they heard this, they were worried about money and time for such a big project, but if they let other construction families do it together. But they were extremely reluctant in their hearts.
He groaned for a while. Duan Qingshi said: "This ...... Lord Jiang, to be honest, this project is indeed too big, but it's not that our Duan family can't build it, it's mainly a financial problem, we ......"
Jiang Xingchen smiled, and he knew that the Duan family hesitated because of money.
Gently pushing the teacup in front of him, Jiang Xingchen asked, "Old Man Duan." What does this tea taste like?"
"Uh!" Duan Qingshi was stunned again, talking about the building. Why did Jiang Xingchen ask about tea again, and it was too big to jump.
"Good! it's the best!" Duan Qingshi replied to Jiang Xingchen.
Jiang Xingchen said: "If I have a lot of tea like this every year, is money still not a problem?"
"Ahh......h
couldn't help but cast suspicious glances at Jiang Xingchen.
"Since I dare to open a teahouse, of course I have the support of tea!" Jiang Xingchen said lightly.
Duan Qingshi thought about it, his expression was still a little hesitant, the three major teahouses are making money. But even if the amount of tea is enough, doubling it in a year, the annual income of the teahouse is only 40 million, and such a large project is still not enough.
When they were still calculating whether the money was enough, Jiang Xingchen said: "Before the project starts, the road must be repaired first, and some bridges must be erected...... Not only inside the territory, but also the road to the three major territories to the east!"
"What?" The Duan family father and son were shocked again, the road construction project is not small, especially the road leading to the three major territories in the east, each of which is at least sixty miles upward......s! Immediately, beads of sweat oozed from their foreheads.
Jiang Xingchen looked at the two of them and said, "We are old friends, you two might as well wait here for a few days before making a decision, after the new town is completed, you builders haven't enjoyed it yet!"
If it were an ordinary person, the two of them would have been so hesitant and anxious. I don't do it if I give you money to earn it, Lao Tzu will find someone else, and if you don't do it, someone else will do it!
But Jiang Xingchen didn't do this, first, he also understood the Duan family's distress, once the project started, the money would be endless, in case his own funds didn't keep up, even if their Duan family stopped working, the craftsmen's wages would have to be paid, which was not a small amount. Second, the Duan family does a really beautiful job, and the quality can be guaranteed, but he doesn't know what other people are doing, and he can't stare at it every day.
And the reason why he let the two stay for a few days was also to let them see the feast of demon beasts, that kind of impact was definitely more useful than saying how rich he was.
"Okay, let's think about it for two days, I hope Lord Jiang can understand!" The Duan family father and son stood up.
Jiang Xingchen smiled and beckoned Han Xiaowu to lead them to the place where Lu had been arranged......
As soon as they left, Grandpa Fu arrived, and the first thing he said when he opened his mouth was to persuade Jiang Xingchen not to make a big move first, and the money in the territory was a little tight.
All the money earned by the teahouse has already gone in, and it will be in May next year to make any more income, and it is still very early. In order to attract tourists, Bauhinia's performances were all free, and the investment was increased, and in the end, it only earned 1100,000 yuan. The vegetables in autumn are not yet ripe, and the sunflower seeds are almost there, but they have to be reserved for the teahouse, and the sesame oil and sesame paste are also kept by themselves. Now the only money left is honey, candles, and hooks.
But even so, it can't stand the flowers, those slaves ~ subordinate children to raise, more than 200 private soldiers to raise, the orcs' food and drink wages, and the wages of the villagers hired by the new town do not need to be considered, even if two or three thousand tourists are enough to feed them. Now the biggest head is the more than 1,000 wolves, which are too good to eat.
Jiang Xingchen smiled and said, "Grandpa Fu, don't worry, you will have money soon, and it is a lot of money!"
Seeing Jiang Xingchen with bamboo in his chest, Grandpa Fu breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, what kind of money is it, vegetables, it won't be harvested until the end of October!"
Jiang Xingchen waved his hand and said, "How much is the vegetables, it's only a matter of a few million!"
"Only a few million?" Grandpa Fu's eyes widened suddenly, listening to what the lord meant, it seemed to ......
Jiang Xingchen nodded and said, "In a few days, we will earn more than tens of millions!"
"Tens of millions!" Grandpa Fu's eyes widened suddenly, what is so profitable, you must know that the construction of Ludao New Town only cost twenty-three million.
Grandpa Fu didn't know about the poisonous ape, and no one had spread about it. And the value of a twenty-fifth-level demon beast is simply immeasurable, once the news comes out, I don't know how many martial artists, families, and forces are rushing to it. In comparison, the cost of building a small town is really not comparable.
When Grandpa Fu was dumbfounded, Jiang Xingchen said: "Grandpa Fu, the territory is getting bigger and bigger, there are more and more things to deal with, and the amount of various financial expenditures is huge, you are really too hard alone!"
"It's not hard!" Grandpa Fu hurriedly shook his head: "There is the table and Arabic numerals invented by the lord, and all expenses and income are clear at a glance."
"That's not easy, it's not a small amount of work to check the accounts of each storefront, as well as the taxes of the empire, the income and expenses of the territory...... Pick a few people from those slaves~ subordinates to help you, and if you do well, give them the status of civilians!"
Jiang Xingchen's expression was very serious, and his tone was extremely affirmative, Grandpa Fu was over sixty years old, and his physical strength couldn't keep up with such a large workload, and in less than a month since the Xinzhen celebration, he looked even older. If these jobs were put in the previous life, it would definitely be a large department, as if raising thirty or forty people to play.
Seeing Jiang Xingchen's unquestioning tone, Grandpa Fu nodded, he was indeed tired these days.
"That's it! Don't worry about money, although the cost is large, there are more ways to make money...... You try to bring out a team as soon as possible!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"Okay!" Grandpa Fu nodded, and was about to turn and leave.
At this moment, Han Xiaowu suddenly ran in and said loudly: "Sir, the news of the Orc Alliance is from the military department!"
Jiang Xingchen frowned slightly, and said in surprise: "The news of the Orc Alliance, why did the military department send it to me?"
"The Orc Alliance and Xuanyuan Tianzong are fighting at the junction, and Xuanyuan Tianzong dispatched five hundred chariots, but they were broken by the light cavalry of the Orc Alliance!" Han Xiaowu said quickly.
"It's really a fight!" Jiang Xingchen straightened his eyes, when Luo Yu asked him for a weapon, that is, just for prevention, he thought that Xuanyuan Tianzong had just been defeated on the side of the empire, and he would not start a war again, who would have thought that people would really do it.
What's even more terrifying is that the other party actually built another 500 combat vehicles in a short period of time, and this manufacturing capacity is simply terrifying.
Slowly letting out a sigh, Jiang Xingchen was puzzled: "Why did the military department send me the news, I can't do it myself......
Before Jiang Xingchen finished speaking, Han Xiaowu said, "Sir, you are the operational staff officer of the military department!"
"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How did I forget this stubble......"
After a pause, Jiang Xingchen said a little unpleasantly: "The news has reached the empire, Luo Yu, this kid didn't write to me, and I also designed weapons for him at a loss, it's too uninteresting...... By the way, this guy hasn't given me the money for the weapon design yet, so don't you want to pay the bills anymore?"
As soon as I thought of this, a signature big laugh sounded outside: "Brother, I'm here! Delicious, fun, and beautiful things are waiting!" (To be continued......)
