Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 226 Fundamentals of Shanyang City

When Li Shimin was enjoying selling cowpox and the infrastructure in Guanzhong was improving day by day, Sun Xiangfu was also paying close attention to the infrastructure in Shanyang.

In fact, since the spring plowing, the infrastructure construction of Shanyang City has not stopped. Although most of the areas have not been completed, the most urgently needed buildings are basically completed.

This is a large city completely built on the grassland. Although its scale cannot be compared with Chang'an Luoyang, it is already the largest fortified city in the borderlands.After the entire city was planned by Sun Xiangfu, the convenience and rationality ranked first, and the commerciality was also very high. Except that less than one-eighth of the north was designated as a political and military zone by Sun Xiangfu, the rest The places here are all divided into commercial, entertainment, and residential areas. The streets here are very wide, all of which are cement roads, and hidden underground drainage and defecation ditches have been dug. On the ground, even if there are many construction sites It looks very clean.

The built houses are all thick brick and tile structures, arranged very neatly. From the very beginning, Sun Xiangfu was not allowed to build houses in the city at will, because the county government has strict regulations on the land for building houses and the quality of houses. According to the audit standard, what structure must be a brick and tile structure that can resist heavy snow extrusion!There must be a heating kang and a coal stove that meets safety standards, a kettle!There must be drainage and defecation devices connected to the underground waterway!Anyway, there are all kinds of things, but ordinary people will follow the standards set by him.

There is no other reason. He set these standards for the benefit of the common people. Only by building houses according to the standards set by him can the people living in the houses be convenient, trouble-free, and clean. The house is buried under the pressure of snow, and it will not be frozen to death because of the lack of warmth.

Of course, if you can’t afford to build such a brick and tile house, it doesn’t matter, the yamen can find someone to lend you a loan. Just bring your Shanyang City household registration to the yamen, and the cooperative merchants of the yamen can provide you with The price of a set of houses that has been built varies according to the area, ranging from [-] to [-]. Within three years, there is no need to repay the interest. After three years, the annual interest will be charged according to a certain proportion according to the size and the amount owed. The longer the time, the larger the amount and the higher the interest.

This can be regarded as Sun Xiangfu's first business in Shanyang, and it is jointly operated by commercial tenants in his house and the yamen. More than 2 households in the city have settled down in comfortable houses as soon as possible, and can devote themselves to production and construction work with peace of mind.

Sun Xiangfu's businessman named Zhou Chun, who specializes in helping him manage real estate, has obtained more than 70.00% of the land in the city at market prices. Among them, the more than 2 residential houses he invested in are actually his least profitable business. .

"Master, our construction team currently has 8000 people. In June, we had already completed [-] houses, enough for the people of the city to live in. At present, only a small part has been sold with full payment, about [-] houses. It was an interest-free loan, and there are about [-] vacant houses, and the investment cost of the residential area is more than [-] yuan, which has not been recovered."

The huge profits of real estate are astonishing at any time, especially in the case of collusion between the government and businessmen. Zhou Chun only needs to recover the house payment of a few thousand houses, and the cost is completely recovered. The remaining [-] houses The house payment and the [-] houses that were not sold were all pure profits.

Of course, it may take many years to recover the investment and the profit earned, and it will be spread out evenly. If he does not make much money in this area every year, it is impossible to support his engineering team of up to 8000 people.

"Well, building residential houses is mainly to solve the housing problem for the common people. Early profits are secondary. Our profit points are in the shops, the commercial street in the west of the city, and the entertainment venues along the Sanggan River?" In Shanyang City, the new In the Shanyang County Government House where the plaque was changed, Sun Xiangfu nodded while writing on the main kang.

For this kind of business report, he no longer needs to pay attention to it. As a senior local official of Datang, he has to gradually disconnect from the specific business operation, and what he considers in his mind is always the future development.

If you want people to come to you, you must first have good products, a good trading environment, a good entertainment venue, and the industrial technology system of Xingfu Village as support. Naturally, there is no shortage of good products in Sun Xiangfu's hands.

He has white sugar and rock sugar from Lingnan. He also has soybean paste of various grades from Huainan. There are a lot of clothes, shoes, hats, and ready-made clothes made of cotton and leather. Sun Xiangfu is even asking craftsmen to study It is not difficult to make canned oranges from central Sichuan and lychees from Lingnan into cans and dried fruits. I believe that with his idea, it is not difficult for craftsmen to break through the sealing technology and make cans. After all, the glazed ceramic workshop has already There is a mature technology of firing screw-top bottles and cans.

But there are some in Shanyang, but not in other places. Sun Xiangfu has planted millions of acres of flower fields in Shanyang. What is the so-called?
Of course, it is to pick petals, extract essence, and make perfume.

Why did Sun Xiangfu dare to lend the house to the people of Shanyang City with zero down payment and interest-free for three years?
Because the household registration was transferred to Shanyang by him, the people have jobs and income.

He is confident that these people will be able to pay off their housing arrears within a year or two with the remaining money besides their daily expenses.

Of course, perfume is just one of the products. In the south of the city near the city wall, there are rows of particularly tall factory buildings. Here, there are thousands of female workers responsible for picking flowers and extracting essences. Not only that, but also many derivative products of flowers.

For example, honey is also extremely productive in Shuozhou, where the number of flower fields reaches one million mu.

With honey, many sweet products can be made. In this regard, it is the business of food processing factories.Flower Cake is a kind of food that can last for several months first developed by the food processing workshop. Its main body is made of flour, with a small amount of sugar and available flower essence added. The taste is not inferior to some cakes of later generations. .

There is also a large workshop for brewing high-grade wine here, and the annual output will be huge. Of course, in this year when food is relatively tight, the output is not high.

As for leather goods, garment workshops, and textile workshops, the scale here is also not small. After all, this is a place of bitter cold outside the customs. There is a great demand for thick and warm clothes here. Moreover, they are not just making them for their own use. , is to be sold externally, most of which are Hu Feng styles.

Basically, as long as there are workshops in Xingfu Village, there are all here, but here is not for research and development, but for mass production, so the number of workers recruited is huge, and it has already reached the scale of [-] people.In the future, the amount of commodities produced here will also be huge, at least able to meet the needs of millions of people in the northern and grassland tribes.

Moreover, the number of these workers does not include the personnel engaged in the service industry that Sun Xiangfu said is needed in the shops.Therefore, Sun Xingfu himself has some labor shortages. He agreed to let Wang Xu recruit tenants in Shuozhou. In fact, he gave him a bad check. Living in such a clean and safe city, such a comfortable house, and having a stable job, it is relatively With such a generous income, who would want to follow you to plan food in the prairie land?

Of course, to ensure that all these output and business activities can flow like running water for a long time and continue to operate, Sun Xiangfu's follow-up plans are needed.

Hearing Sun Xiangfu ask himself, Zhou Chun said as if offering a treasure, "Reporting to the owner, there are more than 100 shops in the commercial street. For renting from various industries, Prince Wang’s house in Taiyuan first rented more than [-] rooms, and other aristocratic families and merchants are also contacting and negotiating now. According to your instructions, the lease is signed every year. The same type of shops must be operated in a centralized manner, and the storage area is also reserved. The livestock trading market is located in the old county town outside the city, where there are also shops that operate, store and feed livestock. Judging from the current situation, within this year, most of the shops should have merchants settled in."

Shops are the real lucrative business of the Sun family. There are [-] shops, and the investment in construction is only a hundred thousand yuan. Any cleaning fees, water fees, and public security management fees are all collected by the business owner as the owner, and he must have made a lot of money.

Of course, the purpose of Sun Xiangfu's making it is to introduce several big families into the competition mechanism. It is true that the same type of shops get together to do business, which can have a crowd effect, but this is ancient times, and there are not so many different ones. Brand, when the goods produced by several big aristocratic families are the same, Sun Xiangfu has to stand aside and watch the show. Anyway, it is impossible for the aristocratic families to compete with Sun Xiangfu's shops.

"What about the entertainment venue along the Sanggan River?" In this regard, Zhou Chun can only be regarded as completing the work according to Sun Xiangfu's requirements, and it is this entertainment venue that is really difficult to manage.

"We divided them into large, medium and small ones, and reserved three buildings for self-operation. According to your requirements, they are divided into sauna bathing halls for male guests, health spas for female guests, song and dance theaters, storytelling teahouses, and catering restaurants. The layout, the rest are three grades of inns, which can accommodate thousands of people. However, the remaining buildings are also very popular. If the four major families in Yangzhou do not take up half of them, we will only build these buildings along the Sanggan River , the annual rent starts from [-] yuan."

This is also something that can’t be helped. In order to win the soybeans in Yangzhou, Changsun Wuji and the samurai had to make some compromises with the four masters of Yangzhou. Half of the brothel service industry in Xincheng was given to them. Sun Xiangfu did not have the experience and manpower to run this kind of place, so this can be regarded as a win-win situation. After all, in any place where there are many people and money, the needs of this industry are all very big.

"Well, manpower training needs to be strengthened, and the business scale must be well grasped. It is best to open the business next month." Sun Xiangfu stopped writing and confessed.

"The small ones will definitely explain to the managers of each place. These projects are carried out immediately after the city wall is built. It has been more than half a year now, and the construction has already been completed. One month is enough to open the business." Zhou Chun assured .

"Okay, you go down first!"

After Zhou Chun bowed and saluted, he stepped back quickly, and someone came in immediately.

"Master, my small coal workshop can now produce [-] cars of honeycomb briquettes every day, but the stock has not reached the amount you said to supply all the charcoal stoves and kangs in the city for a year. Now that the weather is getting colder, I would like to ask you Just send some Turkic captives to the mine to speed up excavation and production."

There are no trees on the grasslands outside the Guan, so naturally there is not much firewood to burn, so if you want to live comfortably in this area with long cold weather, coal is a must-guaranteed material. There are more than 2 households in the city, and most of them like it. Using honeycomb coal stoves for cooking, heating pots, and even heating kangs consumes a huge amount of coal every day.

This is an exclusive monopoly business. Therefore, Sun Xiangfu does not allow the price of briquettes to be too high. Because of the high price, many families with poor economic conditions will reduce their use, which leads to some situations. If you don't pay attention, it's normal to die from typhoid fever.

If the Han people are allowed to do the hard work of mining, they have to pay high wages, but if they pay high wages, the products produced are sold at low prices. If they operate at a loss, this kind of business will not last long. In order to reduce costs, Sun Xiangfu had no choice but to send some Turkic captives to Li Dakui who only paid for food and did not get paid. These captives were intercepted by Sun Xiangfu privately from Li Jing!

"There are only so many captives. I will send them all to you. If not, go to other counties to recruit workers! There should be some farmers who have nothing to do in winter. They can earn money during the slack season. Someone should be able to do it, at least Let's take care of food and housing, and still have a salary. In addition, let Wang Gui from the house go to your side to have a look and develop some more efficient tools for mining and production. The amount of coal used will only increase in the future, and There are fewer and fewer people I can give you."

"That's fine, I'm going to recruit workers now, and the upper limit is to be able to complete the tasks you specify."

After Li Dakui finished his salute, he immediately stepped back. Of course, the matter is not over, and there is another person to meet immediately. The largest owner, Sun Xiangfu, has to deal with a lot of these things every day. Unlike the officials of this period, he likes to deal with things at a slow pace, and everything is done vigorously. Therefore, he has a huge amount of information to remember , It is very tiring to make quick and accurate decisions.

"Hey, your kid is finally back, how about the grassland?"

Sun Xiangfu looked at the next human who came in from the door in surprise.

It was none other than Xi Junmai who brought [-] riders to Ulanqab to bring Tuli's lair.

　grateful!Cheng, book friend 130712... for the reward, in the last three days, Dazhang asks for a monthly ticket, let’s try to break through [-] votes, okay?
