Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 625 Under the Tender

Mujing looked through the plans compiled by Xicao. Of course, the efforts of Gongcao were indispensable, and most of them were even provided by the people of Gongcao.

The mansion of the Minghou Mansion is nearly completed, the office area in the front yard was completed last year, and most of the courtyards in the residential area in the back yard have also been completed. Gongcao is now focusing all his attention on these four roads connecting Hanzhong and Nanyang. Get up and ride on the road.

Yue Zhu, the director of Gongcao, has personally led a survey team of hundreds of craftsmen, and went to explore on his own.

The news kept coming back, but the exploration was not yet complete.

"Dongshan Chidao, if you leave, you will be the Dongshan Plank Road!"

Mu Jing took a closer look: "This should be the longest road, from Fangling to Nanxiang, taking the Dongshan plank road, the total length is nearly [-] miles!"

"The key is the mountain path!"

Liu Jin said with a wry smile: "The biggest investment is how to expand this plank road into a galloping road. The so-called galloping road can only be called a galloping road when at least four double-headed carriages pass side by side. The investment must be the largest. In the name of the Marquis of Ming Dynasty, recruit civilian husbands!"

"But once you get through it, it will be different!"

Mu Jing narrowed his eyes: "Now it takes at least three or four days to travel from Fangling to Nanxiang by taking the Dongshan plank road, but once the road is opened, the carriage will arrive in a day and a night, time is the benefit!"

"Why don't you know after getting through, but now that the difficulties are discovered, I'm afraid that the huge investment will scare away these merchants. The merchants may not be as cowardly as a tiger. If they don't see the benefits, they will definitely shrink back!" Bao Su, the director of Xicao, smiled wryly. .

"Not necessarily!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "There will be people who have courage!"

He thought for a while: "The Han River is only [-] miles away, and it goes directly to Wudang County.

"But my lord, do you know that the Hanshui River is now open to merchant ships, and it may not be more popular if there is an extra channel!"

Qin Song, who had been silent for a long time, said in a low voice.

Thanks to the efforts of the Jingping Second Army, the waterways of the Hanshui River have been cleaned up in sevens and eighties, and some narrow or stranded places have been sorted out. Ordinary merchant ships can enter for the first time along the channel of the Hanshui River. Naturally, it is unnecessary.

"No!"

Mu Jing said in a deep voice: "The Han River is the Han River, and the Chidao is the Chidao. Most people will think that the water is unsafe and lacks a sense of security. Anyone who is capable, even a caravan, usually enters and exits." That’s right, everyone likes to travel a lot, don’t they?”

"It's also true!"

Liu Jin agrees with this truth.

"Bold assumptions, careful verification, this style of acting is correct, the Chidao plan may not be smooth sailing, since you Nanshufang thinks that you will open two first, then open two!"

Mujing agreed to the plan of the South Study Room, and asked, "When will the bidding be called?"

"Ten days later, the third day of March!"

Liu Jin replied.

"Who's in charge?"

"I am personally responsible!" Liu Jin said: "This matter is related to the livelihood of the people in the two counties, and I must personally sit in charge!"

"it is good!"

Mu Mu nodded: "On the day of bidding, I will be there in person!"

Those merchants, I am afraid they still need their own reputation to shock them, otherwise the signboard of Minghou Mansion may not be able to stop it.

……

The times are different, the environment is different, and the market is immature. Although bidding has created a new way of doing business, there will always be some confusion for the first time.

On March [-]rd, in Nanzheng City, a mansion.

This mansion is the mansion that the Minghou Mansion temporarily settled down in the past. Mujing’s stronghold in the city was used by Liu Jin’s expropriation. Mujing has nothing to say. In order to save costs, he has to praise It's really a good subordinate.

"Treasurer Long, I've been missing for some days!"

"Shopkeeper Ping, I don't want to see you. Back then in Guanzhong, you ate up all the granary of our Long family!"

"It's rare for shopkeeper Long to remember the past events!"

"Shopkeeper Luo, after your Luo family left Jingping Trading Company, you have found a good way out. Donghai Trading Company has robbed us Hengtong of a lot of business in Guanzhong!"

"It's all business, shopkeeper Xu don't talk about robbing, it's not good!"

"Master Ye is well informed!"

"Isn't Shopkeeper Jing very well informed?"

"..."

Nearly [-] merchants gathered together, more than half of them were old friends of Jingping Trading Company, and they were quite active with each other.

"Long time no see, everyone!"

Mujing led Liu Jin, together with more than a dozen officials from Xicao and Gongcao of the Minghou Mansion, walked in from the outside, and smiled at the merchants.

"Meet the shopkeeper!"

In the past, the merchants under the command of Jingping Trading Company saluted one after another.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Some merchants did not have the old customs of Jingping Trading Company, but just saluted respectfully and called them lords.

"Do!"

Mujing pressed his hand and asked the merchants to sit down.

He has always been straight to the point, without too many polite words: "This time I asked you to rush to Hanzhong, but you are also beating drums in your heart, right? I used to be a merchant, and merchants pay attention to profits. A promise, to do business in Hanzhong, I will never oppress you, you can do it if you want, or you don’t want to!"

"The shopkeeper is a man, we naturally trust him!"

Everyone fisted.

Mujing's reputation in the business world is actually better than the rest of the world. The old Jingping Trading Company really displayed the prestige of merchants. With their own power, they shook the price of grain in the entire Guanzhong. Countless merchants admired it. The first battle also gave them hope.

"Liu Jin, tell them about the investment and profit methods of the Chidao Project, and then we will talk about bidding!"

Mu Jing said softly.

"promise!"

Liu Jin came out, he introduced himself, and then began to explain the plan of Chidao construction in detail.

"The profit of Chidao is related to the road tax!"

"The price of the road tax is determined by the Minghou Mansion, but the income belongs to the merchants who invest, and the setting of the gates is only done by the Minghou Mansion, but the accounting calculations can be checked by you!"

"We have two roads to build this time!"

"One is Dongshan Chidao, and the other is Hanshui Chidao!"

"After the completion of the construction, the road tax within ten years will all belong to the investment, but after ten years, we will take back the road tax rights for this road!"

"..."

Liu Jin spoke very carefully, completely exporting the investment and profit methods, and let these merchants measure by themselves.

"The way of road tax is more to see if there are people walking. If the road is repaired and no one goes, I'm afraid we will lose everything!"

"Nanyang has a large population, Hanzhong is a big place, and it is the intersection between Yizhou and Jingzhou. Once it is completed, no matter whether it is a caravan or ordinary people, I am afraid that they are willing to take this road. Who can go to Nanyang in one day? Six days!"

"That's what I said, but I still have to worry about what to do if the people in the Minghou Mansion play tricks?"

"Nowadays the world is in chaos and the feudal lords are separatist. Don't worry about where the most business is. But Minghou is a man. I have heard a lot. For us merchants, few people can be so respectful. If it is business, I am still willing to work with Minghou. The government will do it!"

"Ten years of road tax, in fact, some earn!"

"It's just that the cycle is too long!"

"..."

The merchants began to discuss in whispers.

"Dongshan Chidao is a full three hundred miles long, I'm afraid it will be difficult for a family to achieve great things!" The shopkeeper Yu representing Donghai Commercial Bank calculated: "Our Donghai Commercial Bank has only transferred [-] gold, and we can't eat it!"

"The shopkeeper already has a lot of budget. Our Hengtong Merchant has already transported six thousand gold, but it seems that it is still far from enough!"

The representative of Hengtong Commercial Bank is also thinking about it.

Several people in the business firm also began to secretly calculate in their hearts.

"The bidding starts now!"

Liu Jin said: "First of all, it's Dongshan!"

Bidding is not as standardized as in later generations, it is just something who is willing to do it. For now, Mujing is definitely very satisfied to be able to attract a person who is willing to do it. Take the relationship.
