Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 607 The right to know Hangzhou military affairs 52
When he finally saw Wang Xiu, he was even more uneasy, and hurriedly performed the disciple ceremony, but he was still embarrassed, and Zong Liang also retreated outside the door.

"You are the owner of Dashuncheng Shipyard, Wang Ren Wang Xunmei, the son of Wang Mi and Wang Yanchou?" Wang Xiu smiled and said warmly.

Wang Mi is a well-known businessman in Hangzhou, so it is not surprising that Wang Xiu knew about it, but Wang Ren was still very disturbed, and said in a low voice, "Exactly."

"You and I belong to the Langya clan, don't be restrained, just relax." Wang Xiu frowned slightly, and Wang Ren's embarrassed appearance made him conclude that he was not a pioneer.

Wang Ren was stunned, then surprised and delighted, he never expected that Wang Xiu would speak out about the same family, no matter how stupid he was, he would understand the opportunity, but he still made a big mistake, and hurriedly said: "It turns out that the head of the mountain is from the Langya Wang family. Dare to ask the seniors?"

The corner of Wang Xiu's mouth twitched suddenly, and she secretly scolded Wang Ren for being an idiot. Is there a question like that?I didn't hear that it was a cliché, even if we can really describe the race, if there is a difference in rank, it would be embarrassing to call others, so I couldn't help saying: "Although they are of the same clan, but I don't know how many generations they have been separated, I'm afraid we can't talk about it. "

Wang Ren thinks about it too. Each branch of the clan has its own class arrangement. Perhaps the blood relationship is far away. It seems that the Wang family of Chenzhou has long been absent from the genealogy, but he didn't notice Wang Xiu's embarrassment, let alone his own recklessness. Big discount.

"Forget it, I'll meet Wang Proprietor in the future." Wang Xiu didn't want to say too much, anyway, the point of what he said depends on whether Wang Mi is a knowledgeable person.

Wang Ren was overjoyed, and Wang Xianggong had already spoken. If he didn't understand the great opportunity, he would just drop out of school.

Not to mention the matter of the Wang family, there is a bit of surplus cement in the earthen kiln, and Wang Xiu plans to use cement to pave the main roads inside and outside Hangzhou.

The road surface of the main road of Yuquanshan Academy is all made of cement, and the road surface is not muddy during the rainy season, which is deeply loved by the students.The officials and gentry in Hangzhou also went to the academy to give lectures and tours. They appreciated the cement pavement and thought it was a good deed to purify people’s hearts. Some people even suggested that the cement production should be increased on a large scale, and all roads in Hangzhou should be paved with cement. wealth.

However, some people have objections to the cement roads. These people are local tyrants from all over the country, and they are required to contract to repair the official roads every year.A one-time investment in cement roads that can be used for ten years without repairs almost cut off people's financial resources, so naturally we must do our best to oppose it.

No, this is violating the interests of the vested interest class. A small matter of material nature can involve thousands of miles and eight villages.

However, everyone is aware of the benefits of concrete roads, and this little objection could not stir up even a little wave, and was quickly suppressed.

Well, it’s not actually suppressing it, but the cement manufacturing process is not complicated, and the cost of cement roads is ten times more expensive than that of gravel roads. Yuquanshan Academy has plans to make it public. Since it is made public, it means that these local tyrants still have the ability to undertake construction Yes, since there is a chance to make money, everyone is naturally in harmony.

No, the wave of opposition subsided at once.

Now, the main difference is that the cost of cement roads is very high. The cost of road renovation throughout Hangzhou is astonishing, no less than that of bluestone roads in the city.

Wang Xiu's plan is very simple. With Qiantang port as the center, the official roads will radiate to the surroundings and connect the rivers in other states to form a fast transportation road from the port to the inland river. Also very reluctant.

Wang Xiu proposed a compromise solution. The main port trade roads would be constructed by private contractors, and the goods would be offloaded and shipped to the inland. They would need to pay the construction merchants a fee.

However, his proposal didn't quite fit the facts. There are so many dirt roads, why do people have to walk your cement until it's not in a hurry, it's definitely sick.

Even Wang Qingzhu was not very optimistic about it, and the Shen family was even more silent. The merchants from Zhejiang and Zhejiang were collectively aphasic, leaving Wang Xiu speechless.

After a small setback, he had to seriously conclude that the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is criss-cross, and the seaways and inland water networks are conveniently connected. The requirements for roads are not high. If you are in the northern region, there is still a lot to do in order to achieve convenience without detours.

Well, as a time traveler, as he continues to integrate into the times, he is gradually losing his advantages, and he is a bit arrogant when thinking about things, which is unacceptable.

"My lord, there is the owner of Dashuncheng Shipping Company outside, Wang Mi and Wang Yanchou are asking to see you." The state yamenzi held a name card and handed it to Wang Xiu respectfully.

"Please ask him to go to the living room and wait for a while." Wang Xiu was summing up the gains and losses of being a human being, trying her best to keep herself calm, but she didn't expect Wang Mi to come so fast, it seemed that she was rather impatient!

After a little tidying up, he went through the two courtyards and came to the living room. He saw a tall and fat middle-aged man with a huge rosacea nose. When he saw him coming in, he immediately got up and bowed, "Qiantang Commoner Wang Mi sees him." Passed a husband."

Wang Xiu quickly stepped forward to help him up, and said in a gentle voice: "You and I are of the same clan, brother Yan Chou, don't be too polite."

Wang Mi frowned slightly, and hurriedly said: "Although they are of the same clan, officials and people are different, etiquette cannot be discarded."

"Haha, this is the inner palace, only the same clan, please sit down." Seeing Wang Mi's knowledge, Wang Xiu laughed very happily.

The two sat down as guests of honor, and the servant served tea. Wang Mi picked up the cup, sipped the tea carefully, and secretly looked at Wang Xiu.

At that time, in the narration of his son being out of breath, he was really overjoyed. He did not expect that the important officials who are famous all over the world today are actually brothers of the same clan, and they still took the initiative.The mind of a businessman immediately made him realize that this is an excellent development opportunity for him. Once he misses it, he may never have it again in this life.

He immediately prepared as quickly as possible, and took the initiative to come to the state government to pay a visit to Wang Xiu. At the same time, he wanted to find out whether Wang Xiu was worthy of his service.

"My younger brother's ancestor has always been in Langya. Since the reign of Zhaozong Jingfu in the former Tang Dynasty, he moved to Chenzhou for more than [-] generations. There are Shi, Lu, Shu, De, Yan, Da, Ji, Qiao, Yan, Zhen, Guo, Zhong, Ji, Subclass. I am very happy to see the Jiangnan Township Party today."

What Wang Xiu said was true. It is true that the Langya Wang family moved south in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but some people stayed in the north to spread their branches and leaves. Chenzhou was the area under the jurisdiction of Yingchuan County back then. Famous teachers gathered, so naturally there were Wang family members.

"Oh, it's true! The Jiangnan clan also has this class, so could it be..." Wang Mi was so surprised that his fat face trembled.

"Anyway, it's been five generations. We're all of the same clan, so don't be rigid." Wang Xiu said very flatly, but her tone was very gentle.

"My husband is humble, but the same clan must not mess up the seniority."

The two of them talked like this, looking back at their seniority, the coincidence couldn't be more coincidental, counting down to Wang Dao's era, Wang Xiu's Yanzi generation and Wang Mi's Lianzi generation happened to be the same generation of the same clan branch, Wang Mi was overjoyed immediately, What a pie that fell from the sky!
