The reconstruction of Xizhou and Beiting was in full swing, and Dai Quan, as one of the wealthy merchants of the Tang Dynasty, spared no effort to rebuild Xizhou since he received the couplet given by the emperor. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info his family runs a granary, and the Dai family's grain is even enough for a state in Xizhou.

After Han Tongwen proposed to rebuild the North Court of Xizhou, Dai Quan keenly discovered this opportunity, an opportunity for businessmen to turn over, and an opportunity to make a lot of money. Shang Jia is regarded as the lowest person among the four people, but if this time it is done well and let the entire court see the power of Shang Jia, then who would dare to despise them. In addition, his family operated a grain trade, and on the first day of the development policy, Dai Quan ran to Xizhou with all his net worth.

There are countless fertile fields in Xizhou, and he and Qian Qian thought together, relying on countless ploughing cattle to develop farmland, and the output of farmland is all Dai family in addition to taxes, but unfortunately this eye-catching errand fell into the hands of Qian Qian.

Dai Quan got the right to rebuild two cities from Han Tongwen, one is called Wuxiang City and the other is called Xiping City, and the two cities are considered very large cities in Xizhou, and it is still not enough for the Dai family to invest all their millions of family fortunes. The Dai family simply had enough food, and the grain was used instead of money to distribute to the workers. Han Tongwen has strictly forbidden, and if the construction force is insufficient, the merchants can huddle together to keep warm, but if the money and food of the refugees in Xizhou are deducted, this right will be withdrawn, after all, reconstruction is also a part of the work-for-relief.

Dai Quan was a little melancholy, only half of the city was built now, but his family foundation was almost finished.

"Father, if you don't succeed in doing this, our Dai family will really be finished" Dai Gong was a little opposed from the beginning.

"What do you know, take a long-term view, the old man of Xiping City and Wuxiang City, I just have to work hard to build it!" Dai Quan shouted.

"If Your Majesty goes back on his word, we will lose all our money, is it worth it?"

"Your Majesty, as the respect of the world, how can you go back on your word, and besides, even if you have nothing to lose, the old man has been poked in the backbone for a lifetime, and he has been a slave to those dignitaries for a lifetime, and there is only this one chance to turn over. If the money is gone, you can make it again, this time the old man is going to lead the merchant to earn back the status that belongs to us, I can't finish building the two cities, you can build it, you can't build it, your son continues!"

"Gong'er, I don't know if it's because of our status as a businessman, and it's also profitable! The rebuilt city has been free of commercial taxes for almost 20 years, and the development rights of mountains, rivers, forests, and farmland are also in our hands, have you ever thought about how much wealth this is? And if we do it well, our Dai family will be rewarded in the eyes of His Majesty, and then the descendants of our Dai family will also be able to become officials, so we must not only do it, but also do it better than other businessmen!"

Dai Gong was also a little moved: "Dad, you said that this time we can not only make money, but also earn status and fame?"

"Of course, with the couplet given by His Majesty, our family's wealth can be regarded as safe, this time we share our worries for the country, if we stand out in the reconstruction of Xizhou, we will definitely be rewarded by Your Majesty, don't you see so many businessmen who break their heads and want a piece of the pie?

"It's a pity that Liu Chuang took the lead this time," Dai Quan sighed.

"I heard that the Liu family did not participate in the reconstruction of any city?" Dai Gong asked.

"That's because the Liu family is involved in the operation of the money bank," Dai Quan said with jealousy on his face.

"Liu Chuang and Han Tongwen have a good relationship, Han Tongwen came forward to form a money village with the royal family, the Liu family and himself, Liu Chuang fell into the royal family, this is the first official businessman in my Tang Dynasty, and it was personally instructed by His Majesty. Qianzhuang's business will not only double Liu Chuang's worth, but in the future, even those wealthy nobles will have to respect him Liu Chuang."

"Why can his Liu family have such good luck, in terms of family property, we are more than his Liu family" Dai Gong was also a little unhappy.

"Why? Liu Chuangzhen has a pair of poisonous eyes, he chose Han Tongwen early, who would have thought that a young person would have the great talent of the heavens and the earth" Dai Quan regretted that he didn't take Han Tongwen's boat earlier.

"Are the gifts I got you ready?"

"Ready"

"This money is said to be unable to move, it is the representative of Han Tongwen's Zuixianfang in Xizhou, and all the tasks of clearing the land have been stopped, this is a big benefit, our Dai family also has to participate in this matter, and today the old man will pry him to move it."

Dai Quan chose Xizhou, where the land was fertile, while Zhao Bing chose Beiting, which was rich in minerals. The redevelopment of the North Garden is also progressing very well, and although the entire North Garden is a huge construction site, everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

The Zhao family has been a brick and tile merchant for several generations, and the project is progressing smoothly in the north courtyard to burn bricks and tiles, although the daily cost is amazing, but he only needs to persist for half a year to succeed.

Zhao Bing inspected the two cities he had rebuilt, and the displeasure on his face could be seen by anyone.

"What's the matter, why has this speed slowed down again!" Zhao Bing shouted.

"The big shopkeeper, you are angry, we are already very fast," Zhao Yunwen, the second shopkeeper of the Zhao family's firm, replied.

"Quick, I've been building houses and selling tiles all my life, can you fool me? According to yesterday's progress, these rooms should be capped today."

"It's still your sharp-eyed, we don't have any money..... And we don't have enough craftsmen."

"No money?" Zhao Bing said with a frown.

"If I don't have money, I'll find a way, and I'll go to the Hu brothers to see if I pull a little over, and I must finish it before the beginning of spring, so as not to delay the spring planting of the people in the two cities." After surviving this year, next year Beiting should be on the right track."

The city was full of construction sites, down to the houses and up to the city wall, Zhao Bing saw an old man in front of him fall and hurriedly went over to help him up.

"Old man, if you are weak, rest more," Zhao Bing said.

"Out of the way, out of the way," the old man hurriedly shook his hand.

"The court and the shopkeeper pity us who are bitter haha, help us build houses and build cities, the old man is really grateful to Dade, he has no other skills, and he still has the strength to move these bricks and tiles."

Zhao Bing left the construction site and went straight to the bank, the person in charge of the Beiting money village was Liu Fu, the shopkeeper of the Liu family, and seeing Zhao Bing come in with a black face, Liu Fu knew that the big deal was coming again.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, is the construction of the city going well?" asked Liu Fuxiao with a smile.

"If it goes well, I won't come here"

"I don't know if there is anything that can help Zhao Da's shopkeeper"

"Liu Fu, don't fight with me, this time I want 700,000 yuan, a profit of five points," Zhao Bing said.

"This ..... Zhao Da's shopkeeper, this is not good" Liu Fu, his face was embarrassed.

"Why, Liu Chuangyi is on His Majesty, and he has an inner treasury, can't take out these 700,000 guan?" Zhao Bing was a little unhappy when he mentioned it.

"It's not, it's a five-point benefit"

"Too little, one point seven!" Zhao Bing is also a cheerful person.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the benefits of this money village are set by Han Tongwen Gongzi himself, that can't be changed privately, it just so happens that the taxes in Youzhou Liangzhou have just been sent to the money village, 700,000 yuan will be taken tomorrow, and you will get a penny of profit" Liu Fu said.

"Raised by a son of a bitch, Liu Chuang is really a good fate," Zhao Bing scolded.

"You are not bad, with these two cities as the foundation, at this rate, I am afraid that you are the first person to complete the reconstruction, can Your Majesty's reward be less? Besides, Beiting has not collected commercial taxes for more than ten or twenty years, under the temptation of this, Beiting will definitely form the most prosperous business circle in the Tang Dynasty at that time, and you have gained credit and made a lot of money according to these two cities and which iron mines."

Liu Fu sent Zhao Bing away with a smile, the Zhao family will indeed make a lot of money, but the biggest winner is still the Liu family firm, the Liu family of the royal family will not fall for ten thousand years, I heard that His Majesty and the Empress Wu secretly summoned Liu Chuang twice in this month alone.

"We're ordinary people, we're so happy today...."

Leaving Qianzhuang, Zhao Bing came to Hu's house again without stopping. He is also familiar with the Hu family, since the North Courtyard began to be rebuilt, Zhao Bing has not been here less.

"Is the Hu family here?" Zhao Bing shouted in a hurry when he entered the hospital.

"It turned out to be the shopkeeper Zhao, please come in and say if you have anything" Hu Yuan still held an account book in his hand.

After the two of them took their seats, Zhao Bingxin was in a hurry and went straight to the point.

"Hu San is in charge, I need 600 craftsmen, including masons, carpenters, and stonemasons"

"This ...... The big shopkeeper, you and I are acquaintances, and I won't hide it from you, there are not so many people on the record at present," Hu Yuan said.

At the beginning, the three brothers of the Hu family re-registered the refugees who were forced to be robbers in Beiting. This time it was not a simple registration, but Han Tongwen instructed them to work with the government to recreate the register for the North Garden, register the household registration, and record all the people who have a skill, on the first day of the development of the North Garden, Zhao Bing pulled away nearly a thousand craftsmen from here, of course, what money needs to be spent in the middle, in Zhao Bing's opinion, as long as the city is built, these money will be a drop in the bucket.

"The three masters, it's not me Zhao Bing who is a scoundrel, the construction of the city is urgent, the price is negotiable, but I will take the people away today"

"This ......."

"Zhao Da shopkeeper came really in time, there are a few small villages and towns that have just completed the reconstruction today, in addition to the workers needed, I calculated that there are more than 600 people, there are only so many, if you want to take them all"

"Seven hundred!" Zhao Bing said.

"The big shopkeeper, who should you know about our Hu family brothers, one is one, there are really only so many"

"Okay, as many as you want," Zhao Bing sighed.

"Then our brother wishes the great treasurer to finish building the city as soon as possible."
