Chapter 744: Developing the Giant Sheep City and Going to the Banquet
Tearing down the walls and rebuilding them was not uncommon in Shaodian China, and it was the only way to expand the size of the city, but only in the cities of the interior, and it was rare for such a thing to happen in the border cities. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Where did this old man come from so boldly? Expanding the city is not something that can be accomplished in a few years, and it involves a lot of people and things, which is different from his usual style.
Ding Kui had doubts in his heart.
"With the 201st Division in Nanqiu County, it is unlikely that Juyang City will be invaded by enemy troops in a short period of time, and the surrounding countries are trading in this city, so Xia Guan estimates that there is no need to consider the threat of foreign enemies in three to five years. Considering the development of Giant Sheep City, he still decided to support Zheng Huan.
"What does Captain Ding mean that your ministry can ensure the safety of the city for three to five years?" Zheng Huan seemed to want Ding Kui to give a clear explanation.
"If Lord Zheng builds a lot of construction in Juyang City, it cannot be ruled out that more troops will be sent here, and it is our army's duty to ensure the safety of the garrison. Ding Kui encouraged Zheng Huan.
"There won't be bandits in the city's jurisdiction, right?"
This sentence is in line with Zheng Huan's character, allowing Ding Kui to dispel his suspicion that he was being faked.
"With the first brigade here, any bandit will flee when he hears the news, Lord Zheng only needs to send more people to maintain law and order, and this city will definitely be solid with me. Ding Kui patted his chest and said.
"Then the defense of this city depends on Captain Ding. The vacant land outside the city will be rented out one after the completion of the planning, and the adjacent areas will be vacated to facilitate the expansion of the barracks in the future. Ding Kui's support prompted Zheng Huan to make up his mind.
Liu Yu learned of the city lord's decision and said, "The Kong family wants to run the giant sheep city for a long time, and they should think that you will leave here after you retire. β
Fei Ze said to Ding Kui: "So far, we have done a good job of secrecy, and others did not expect that you would run Juyang City for a long time." β
"If Juyang City becomes my territory in the future, and Zheng Huan is now renting out the place, will I inherit the remaining lease?" Ding Kui didn't understand this matter.
"Yes, all the government affairs of the Giant Sheep City will be sealed until the new lord sends someone to hand over the land, and the leased land will be used by the lessee during the lease period, but the land sold will be reassigned to the new lord after sixty years. Liu Yu told Ding Kui a good and a bad news.
"So in sixty years, the land in the whole city will be mine?" Ding Kui didn't care about the rent.
"Yes, but the houses and courtyards do not belong to you, and if you want to repossess the land, you will have to compensate or let the original owner demolish it, and there is another way, which is to continue to rent or sell the land to the original owner. Fei added.
"There are two exceptions, one is the Magic Guild and the other is the Knight Guild, and the place they occupy still belongs to the kingdom. "It's rare for the old money to find a chance to replenish.
"What about the barracks? barracks with regular troops. Ding Kui remembered Zheng Huan's last sentence.
"The military has the right to requisition the city defense facilities and any vacant land, and if there is no military camp for the regular army, then the military camp of the city defense army must be vacated, but the military requisition is limited and must be returned to the local government after the military order is completed. Liu Yu said and smiled at the old man.
"Oh, the border city is suffering here, and it is impossible not to reserve a garrison for the regular army, otherwise it will be a trouble to be requisitioned by the military. "Ding Kui is a member of the military, so he understands it at once.
"The expansion of the city is the top three achievements of the city lord, how many city owners can't do it in a lifetime, and the Zheng city lord will not let go if there is someone behind him, no matter what the purpose is, it is a good thing to be conducive to the development of Juyang City. It's nice to sit back and enjoy it. Liu Yu affirmed Ding Kui's decision.
"Then we don't have to intervene, we don't rent the vacant land outside the city. "Ding Kui is very confident in winning Juyang City.
"Renting more to foreigners, especially Bangladeshis, can guarantee that war will not break out in the short term, at least in the absence of major national conflicts, and Bangladesh will not cut off its own financial routes. Fei thought more carefully.
"There is a big construction project in the Giant Sheep City, and there will definitely be a large number of displaced people coming to find work, and we must pay attention to those who have the skills, and do our best to help them obtain the status of local residents, and there are also healthy, kind and hardworking women, and there are a lot of bachelor dogs in the brigade and the escort team, uh, bachelors, who can help one by one. Ding Kui often unconsciously pops up some new and strange words.
There are not many cities in the original war zone that can recover their vitality, and there are even fewer cities like Giant Sheep City that are better than before, and there are really many displaced people who are willing to move to Giant Sheep City.
After the war is completely over, the entry of foreigners to return to normal procedures, the tax officer needs to register and collect the entry tax, and when leaving the country, the registration needs to be cancelled and the departure tax collected. If you forget to cancel your registration and pay taxes when you leave the country, you will be heavily taxed the next time you enter the country, and you will be severely cracked down on covert border crossing.
The merchants of Meng and Cao can enter the country normally, in principle, they do not need to bribe Ding Kui, but they will also patronize the Huaxia chariot and horse shop, who is the local boss They know in their hearts, and the merchant will offend the local snake.
The merchants of their own country are divided into two factions, the faction of the pro-Lejia and the neutral faction, the faction of the pro-Lejia will deliberately alienate the relationship with Ding Kui, and most of them will follow the path of the Confucian family.
On this day, a neutral businessman from his own country found Changshan, hoping to catch Ding Kui's door, and it is unknown what agreement was reached in private, Changshan actively lobbied Fei Ze and wanted to invite Ding Kui to match the businessmen of his country.
"Young master, that Nanming jewelry store is well-known in the South China Sea, it has branches in many cities in its own country, and it has donated a lot of money to the welfare institute in Yanlan City, and there is no news of them colluding with any forces in Zhu Geliang. Fei Ze couldn't stand Changshan's lobbying and really reported to Ding Kui.
"Do you have any special requirements for me when you buy and sell jewelry?" Ding Kui has been busy with cultivation and research recently, and rarely comes forward to entertain guests.
"Their goods are very valuable, they must be escorted by powerful people, and every time they enter the country, they have mid- and high-level fighters and carry weapons, just hoping that you will relax your regulations or provide protection. Fei didn't get much information.
"Where did you feast me?"
"The newly opened Xinggui Building in the city is said to have been opened by the Hou Mu family of Duping County. "This news fee has been inquired about.
"I thought about it very thoughtfully, I went to have a meal and took care of the face of the Mu family, the person in charge of Nanming Jewelry Store is a delicate character. β
This arrangement is very good for Ding Kui's temper, doing one thing can achieve several goals.
Among the traditional forces in Nannuma Prefecture, the Hou Mu family of Duping County is a force to be reckoned with, even if Ding Kui doesn't have to stammer, he doesn't want to offend, and going to Xingguilou for a meal is Ding Kui's greeting to the Mu family.
Ding Kui only took Ao Yu to Xingguilou for a banquet, and it was rare for the greedy dragon to fall if there was something to eat, and he didn't want to alarm too many people, his main subordinates were all famous people in the city.
Changshan and the people of Nanming Jewelry Company waited in front of the Xinggui Building, but Ding Kui and Ao Yu didn't go through the main door at all, and the two flew directly into the private room on the top floor.
A young woman was sitting alone in the most luxurious private room in Xingguilou, and was taken aback when she saw the two people who suddenly appeared, and quickly stood up and wanted to shout.
However, when she saw the faces of Ding Kui and Ao Yu clearly, she calmed down in a blink of an eye, walked lightly, walked to Ding Kui, squatted down gracefully, and said, "Dare to ask Gongzi is a guest invited by Deacon Ming?"
Ding Kui has seen a lot of beauties, among which Shaodianluan, who is known as a stunning beauty, is his fiancΓ©e, but he still sighs for this woman in his heart. She has a pair of seductive eyes, looking forward to the flow of grace and outstanding demeanor; born with peach cheeks and apricot face, cherry lips and red lips slightly open, charming and rippling to attract people's fragrance; double buds on her chest, coupled with a thin waist that can be held in her hands, outline a bumpy figure.
"Well, who is the girl?" Ding Kui nodded slightly, his expression remaining natural.
The woman's eyes flowed, and she said softly: "The slave maid is a musician, Deacon Ming and Boss Chang are greeting you downstairs, please allow the slave maid to pass it on." β
Ding Kui casually found a place to sit down, motioned for Ao Yu to sit beside him, and then said, "Let them come up, I don't want too many people to see it." β
"Yes. The woman walked to the door of the private room step by step, "Xiao Qi, hurry down and ask Deacon Ming and Boss Chang to come up, and say that the distinguished guest has arrived." β
It turned out that there was a maid outside the door, who seemed to be serving the woman in the room.
After instructing the maid, the woman turned and walked to the window, where a harp was placed.
"Two sons, can the slave and maid play a song?" the woman asked obediently, sitting in front of the piano.
Ding Kui's eyes couldn't help but follow the woman's movements, and he saw that this woman didn't know martial arts, and he didn't know if he wanted to confirm her identity as a musician, so he nodded and said, "Yes, just play the repertoire you're best at." β
The woman lightly stretched her jade arms, brushed her fingers on the piano, and really played a beautiful piano sound.
Ao Yu didn't even look at the woman during the whole process, sitting next to Ding Kui with an expressionless face, but a pair of ears fluttered from time to time.
Ding Kui knew what Ao Yu was doing, this gluttonous dragon was eavesdropping on the voices in Xingguilou, mainly to know what dishes were the most delicious.
Tuk tuk, someone knocked on the door outside the private room.
"Come in. "Ding Kui's spiritual power has locked the person standing outside the door.
The woman's palm pressed against the strings, but the sound of the piano seemed to be incessant.
Changshan accompanied a man in a long beard and brocade robe into the room cautiously.
"Lord Ding, the villain would like to introduce to you, this is Ming Jue, the foreign deacon of Nanming Jewelry Company, and that is Shui Xing'er, a top musician hired by Ming Deacon at a high price. Changshan stood at the farthest end of the table and introduced Ding Kui one by one.
"The villain Mingjie greets Lord Ding. The man in the brocade robe bowed, and a huge salt lake dust-repelling diamond was set on the ring of his middle finger, and his fingers were slender and white.
The beautiful musician Shui Xing'er saluted Ding Kui's squat again, and said softly: "Slave maid Shui Xing'er meets Ding Gongzi." She has always called Ding Kui Gongzi, and did not follow the names of Changshan and Mingju.
"Okay, Shopkeeper Chang, Deacon Ming, and Girl Shui, sit down. There are billions of people in the Shenyuan Continent, and it is not easy to sit together, so don't be polite if you have a private gathering. Ding Kui deliberately reflected the difference between intimacy and alienation in the order.
