My Taoist buddy has practiced surrogacy

Chapter 193
"For merchants from other places, whether they are familiar with the local area or not, they need to find the source of goods or buyers who can sell a large amount of goods in the first place, and they need to shop around. For commodity buyers and sellers In other words, they also need to shop around and need a fixed place to buy and sell. The function of the bazaar is to bring all the buyers and sellers together to form an advantage of scale. Anyone who needs it can get it right away I would think of going to the bazaar instead of having to wait for a bazaar every five days to buy and sell. And when the same type of goods are concentrated in one place, the price is relatively fair and transparent. Whose goods are of good quality, who The quality of the goods is poor, who is selling more expensive, who is selling more affordable, and so on, etc., as long as you go around the market, anyone will know it all."

His idea of ​​concentrating the advantages of scale in later generations is naturally far ahead of the state of retail investors at this time, and the reason for it is actually very obvious.As soon as he said it, Ru Ban and others suddenly realized it, and they all nodded yes.

"Your Majesty, why not put it in Bodao County?" Yan Meiting questioned.

"The space in Bodao County is limited." Zhou Xing said casually. In fact, he was unwilling to put this kind of business that might make a lot of money in the future under the feet of others.This kind of good thing naturally has to be built on the land of one's own family.

"But if there are thieves coming, the open area is not covered, but the loss will be great." Yan Meiting continued to express his concerns.

"This is indeed a problem." Zhou Xing pondered for a moment and said, "The bazaar must be surrounded by a stone wall, at least it can stop the horses from jumping. Build a stone castle next to the market. When a large number of thieves attack, people can hide Enter the stone fort. As for the property, you can store it in the stone fort on weekdays, set up a written record, and have a special person in charge of management. The entry and exit of property is only based on the document."

"We can also build a few early-warning high-rises in the distance," Jian Lan interjected when he heard this, "as long as people and property can be protected in time, the Lord's plan will be fine."

"Then what do the merchants in the bazaar say?" Yan Meiting was obviously very concerned about this, and asked again.

"Investment attraction." Zhou Xing once again uttered a word that other people have not heard of but can understand the meaning immediately, "The road surface of the market and the buildings on it are all funded by the market. But the merchants inside are Bidding is required. Whoever chooses which location and which shop, the one with the highest bid will get it. When planning the market, it will be divided into areas, such as tea area, spices, porcelain area, jade area, silk brocade area, etc. The same type of businesses are concentrated within the respective planned areas.”

While talking, Zhou Xing drew on the white paper with a charcoal pen, feeling more and more excited in his heart.

Real estate, this is real estate.I didn't expect that after traveling through time, I would actually get started with real estate.Based on his experience in that world, first concentrate resources and then drive the flow of people.Although this world can't afford commercial housing or anything, as long as there is a flow of people, money will flow.As a landlord, he only needs to sit on the ground and collect money.

With money, one's own school can operate better and can cultivate more talents.In turn, his own fiefdom and even Bo Dao will be more prosperous.

Then with these people and money, I will take this business to the whole country.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Shi Zhong from Shangluo, and his heart sank.With Shi Zhong's title, background, and wealth, especially if he can't keep himself, how can he do it?
Yan Meiting obviously didn't think so.He has been in Bodao for many years and knows everything about Bodao.He knows exactly how many merchants come and go to Bodao every year, and roughly how much turnover there is.It's just that his family was originally poor. Although he has been a boss for so many years and saved a little money, he has never been able to find a good business for his family.

Doing business in the rivers and lakes not only requires people to be slick, no matter what kind of people they meet, there is a way to deal with it.Not to mention that there will inevitably be some strong men along the way, that is, the ancient tea-horse road. Since ancient times, many places have been extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss, leaving no corpse left.

After he heard Zhou Xing's blueprint for the bazaar, he excitedly found that it was a lucrative business, and it was right at the door of his house, so he didn't have to travel thousands of miles.With his foresight and shrewdness, he can immediately judge that once this bazaar is established, it will attract all the merchants in a short period of time. "Junhou, can I let my family open a shop here in the future?" Yan Meiting said this with nervous heart pounding.

"Master Yan is interested, so I naturally welcome him with both hands." Zhou Xing let go of other thoughts for the time being and laughed, "Not only everyone here, but even your relatives and friends, as long as they are interested in coming to settle, Mr. Gao can't wait to ask for it."

Seeing Yan Meiting leave happily, Ru Ban said with a smile: "Jun Hou made such a big deal when he first arrived, it really opened Ru's eyes. But Ru has never been interested in business, but I am particularly interested in what Junhou said about building a school, I wonder if Junhou can tell you about your plans for the school?"

"This is how I think about the school." Zhou Xing pondered for a moment and then said: "The school I want to build is different from Shangluo Hongdu College. Hongdu College is dedicated to monks, and I plan to But the school is open to everyone. Whether you are a monk or a commoner, you can enter the school to receive education and learn the corresponding knowledge."

"Could it be that the lord wants to imitate Confucius' practice of teaching without discrimination?" Ru Ban asked with obvious excitement.

"Teach without discrimination? Yes, that's what it means. Teaching without discrimination!"

"Husband," at night, a spacious bedroom on the second floor was brightly lit. Under the cover of the fiery candlelight, Wang Tianyun's already extremely beautiful face looked even more charming.It's just that there is a trace of worry on this beautiful face now. "Is what you said during the day true?"

"Of course it is true," Zhou Xing felt a little tired after a busy day.At this moment, I was alone in a room with my beautiful lady, and a man's normal lust naturally arose in my heart, and I leaned over with a salivating smile and said: "Ma'am, it's time for us to rest."

"Go," Wang Tianyun looked at him and reached out to hit him, angrily said: "Husband, have you ever calculated how much it costs to build a school? How much does it cost to build a medical center? As for the episode you mentioned I agree with the trade market. We can earn back the money we spend in the future. But you build a school to hire teachers, build a medical clinic to hire doctors, all of which need to be paid. According to your husband’s way, what will you and I eat and drink in the future? What? What do so many servants in the mansion eat and drink?"

"Tsk, I really haven't calculated what you said." Zhou Xing still said with a relaxed face.

Seeing his relaxed appearance, Wang Tianyun felt even more angry, and counted one by one with her fingers: "How many square stones does a school need? How much is each square stone? I asked Guo Gui in detail today, you Guess how much square stones our Hou Mansion spent? More than 160 cubic meters of stones. Although the stones here are far cheaper than those in Shangluo, one side also costs 160 copper baht. How many copper bahts are [-] square meters? Do you count? Calculate."

"Six eight 48, one eight is eight, a total of 1 copper baht, less than thirteen gold baht (one gold baht worth one hundred silver baht, one silver baht worth ten copper baht)."

Wang Tianyun was taken aback when she heard the words, she didn't expect Zhou Xing to calculate so quickly.She did some calculations today to get the number. "It's just stone." She emphasized with a louder voice, "What about wood and tiles? What about carving and polishing? That's it, labor has been saved for you. Those subjects under our name come here All the work is for nothing, Guo Gui just takes care of the food. But all of this has to be included in the date of service for us."

"Is there such a good thing?" Zhou Xing was really surprised when he heard this, he never thought that there would be such a thing as free work.

"Oh, my Majesty." Wang Tianyun couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw his appearance, "Since the imperial court has sealed off your four hundred households, then these four hundred households are the people under your name. Gui has shown me that although there are 350 households with names and surnames in the quota, there are actually only 560 and 12 households, with a total of 710 people, including 4000 and [-] children under the age of [-]. After you were enfeoffed, these more than [-] people will only pay taxes and serve for you. They work for you, they are serving, and naturally we don’t need to pay for it.”

"That's right." Zhou Xing is not blind to things outside the window, he understands the tricks below, he slapped his hands and said: "It is precisely because they are already our subjects, we have to build a school Heyi Museum, these people are our assets, and they are the most precious assets that cannot be replaced. We must not only protect these people, but also improve the quality of these people.”

"What?" Wang Tianyun was confused, "What is assets? What is quality?"

"Let's make an analogy." Zhou Xing finally got a chance to show off the superiority of future people in front of Wang Tianyun, and he couldn't help gesticulating happily: "It's like our family has a horse. If we want the horse to run faster Hurry up, you have to feed it good food and take good care of it, otherwise it will be thin and weak, unable to run fast or bear heavy loads. This is also the purpose of my establishment of a school and a medical center." Zhou Xing said here , suddenly realized that he had become the boss he hated before, so he stopped abruptly.
When Wang Tianyun heard what he said, she tilted her head and thought about it. After pondering for a while, she said: "You can build a medical center, why do you have to pay half of the medical expenses for everyone? Our family's money is not The wind is blowing."

Naturally, Zhou Xing would not admit that this was what he said casually in imitation of the medical insurance system in that world, but if he had to admit that he was talking nonsense at that time, he would definitely not be able to do so.Besides, he just thought of those unscrupulous bosses before him, and he just didn't want him to become so bad.So I bite the bullet and forcibly explained with the concept of later generations: "Look, you have long hair and short knowledge. After all, the money we spend is ultimately obtained from them. We will eat and drink in the future What we use is not produced by ourselves, right? It is all worked hard by those people below. We have to take it from the people and use it for the people.”

"Cut, nonsense." Wang Tianyun didn't listen to him at all, "I don't count it as work in my daily life? Farming and paying taxes is a matter of course. You have made such great contributions to the court, so the court named you Bo Marquis Daoting, this Marquis did not fall from the sky. If some of them can make meritorious deeds, they naturally don’t need to plan food in the ground every day. If you have made such a great contribution, you still have nothing to do with them People are the same, this is unfair. Husband, you are called a woman's benevolence."

Wang Tianyun's words made Zhou Xing almost unable to refute, and couldn't help being a little ashamed.As an imposing time traveler, why can't he even talk about the women in his room?This is not bad!

"Exploitation, you are naked exploitation." Zhou Xing forced himself to establish a sense of moral superiority in his heart, so as to maintain the correctness of his views.He suppressed his embarrassment and anger, and continued to forcefully explain in a normal tone: "I don't care what you say about my wife's benevolence, what I want is sustainable development, not fishing. I only firmly believe in one thing, our The more residents there are under the name of Hou, the more taxes we can collect. The better our Hou's economy is, the better our family's economy will be. This is what I want to achieve."

"Sustainable development?" Wang Tianyun tilted her head slightly when she heard this unfamiliar word, squinted her eyes and thought for a while, and then understood the meaning of this word.

Seeing Zhou Xing's expression, she could naturally feel a trace of shame and anger from him with her beauty and wisdom.As a wealthy family like the Jinyang Wang family, she was taught since she was a child how to get along with her husband who will be the head of the family in the future.

"It's okay to be petty when it's time to be petty, but you must pay attention to maintaining the dignity of the other party. Men always take face very seriously." This is the thought that her mother instilled in her since she was a child.

Ever since, she decided to put aside this debate for the time being, even though there were 1 people in her heart who disagreed with Zhou Xing's views and practices.

"Okay, sustainable development. I understand, my husband will definitely be a benevolent monarch in the eyes of the people in the future." Wang Tianyun said playfully, and walked over to help him undress.

"Actually, I understand that Husband is just here and wants to win the hearts of the people, and I also support Husband in doing so. We came all the way from the north to such a strange place. Although we are the masters and they are ministers in name, no one Support, we are always hard to do."

Wang Tianyun said so, which finally made Zhou Xing feel a lot more comfortable.He has such a temper, and when Wang Tianyun said a few soft words, he smiled playfully again, "My wife understands me best, what can Zhou Xingfu ask for if I have such a virtuous wife."
