"Master Dong, as you told me, I bought you 2 stallions, 12 mares, 29 foals, 3 bulls, and cows..."

The person who introduced Dong Chuan was Guo Kedao's housekeeper. Dong Chuan and Wang Qiwa led hundreds of people to the Fushan Shop here and began to spend a lot of money to prepare for the construction of this newly purchased land.

"Butler Guo, have the staff arranged the house building? There are stone wood and other things?" Dong Chuan frowned and asked.

After arriving here, Dong Chuan, Wang Qiwa and the others discovered that this place was completely a wasteland, close to the sea, extremely desolate. What was even more distressing was that there was no road, and the inlet and out of personnel and materials were quite inconvenient. Therefore, other ideas could only be slowed down first, and the first thing was to settle the personnel. Housing, food, etc. must be solved as soon as possible.

Butler Guo nodded with a smile and said, "Master Dong, my master said that this matter is related to our Fushan Station. There is a lot of hardship in the military households, and they want to have work. We also have stone and wood. If it is not enough, there are garage stations and other thousand household stations. In order to prevent Japanese pirates, we have military bases along the coast, and there are a lot of materials to prepare for the construction of seawalls and enclosures. If you want, you can use these first. If you are willing to pay, you can deliver them to your door. That's... that?"

Dong Chuan understood: "Tell your master that there will be no shortage of money, and we will also handle the things we need. What we need is to have a house to live in as soon as possible. We can't let the brothers keep blowing the sea breeze, right?"

"Haha, you can rest assured that this is. I will arrange it for you after the young one goes back."

Butler Guo returned with satisfaction. Those building materials were completely waste utilization. If needed, military households could collect them again, and even use local governments to collect corvee. There was no need to spend money at all, and it was just a sharing of the benefits of officials at all levels. And Guo Kedao was able to do this successfully, and he would never lose any favors.

Dong Chuan was also in a hurry. Because before leaving, Qin Bai had repeatedly reminded him to build this place as soon as possible. He even made a separate promise that if the money was not enough, he could add it. If he lacked time, he could buy it with money, so he would use money to buy it without hesitation!

...

In fact, it was not only Dong Chuan here, but even the others of Yongsheng who did not understand why Qin Bai attached so much importance to this wasteland? Because at this time, Jingjiazhuang had entered the period of major construction, and there were opportunities to make money everywhere, so why bother wasting time and money outside?

After Yangzhou salt merchants replaced the salt gang, Jingjiazhuang began a period of calm. People suddenly realized that money became much easier to make, so there was little fight and the entire farm became more and more prosperous.

As for Yongsheng, after the last time he gave in, the Wang family did not force each other again, and even Zhang Jiuyun and Tiesheng seemed to be tolerant. There was also no news about the He Mansion and Zhenwei Martial Arts Hall, so Yongsheng, like other gangs, was devoted to developing.

The first is the match business. After "sponsoring" a large number of gang members, the output of matches has increased significantly and is constantly sold out in small batches. Although it is a small batch and may be inconspicuous in quantity, the price is still high, so the rolling silver flows in. The circulation of these silver, coupled with the continuous coming of the wealthy merchants, has led to the extraordinary prosperity of Jingjiazhuang.

Of course, there are almost no one who can understand modern economics now, so some people have speculated the reasons. Anyway, they have their own opinions. For example, the He Mansion believes that this kind of development will be achieved only after a unified iron market. Therefore, this path is absolutely correct. We must resolutely and firmly increase the monopoly of one family and bring many benefits to the villagers.

Others also think that it is better to "benefit the most important"! Why do young and old men need to fight and kill? Therefore, maintaining the current situation is the best choice.

However, most people who are on the gossip will not care about these things. No matter where their money comes from? Don’t you make money and think about it? That’s a brain disease!

So under this background, Yongsheng's iron ore production has also increased steadily, and the workshops and shops have also become prosperous. In particular, hundreds of acres of wasteland in Shanglin Village have been opened, and water conservancy ditches are still being built. Therefore, after the beginning of spring, Yongsheng magically realized that all the work can be done, and almost all the new gang members have been digested internally.

With such a situation, at least within Yongsheng, Qin Bai's prestige became increasingly high. To be honest, at the beginning, most of the new gang members actually came to make a living, and there was no such thing as loyalty. Especially when Qin Bai and others were very young, they were just some powerful and savage people. Even if they didn't look down on anything, they didn't care much about it.

However, now they can live and work in peace and contentment? This is far beyond their expectations.

You should know that in the Ming Dynasty, being able to live and living and working in peace were two different concepts. It does not seem to be different in modern society. To give a possible inappropriate example, it is the same as a white-collar worker with a house and a car, and a worker who is hard to earn a living expenses.

The original purpose of these new gang members was to have a straw shed and a few steamed buns that could not starve to death. Now they can eat and drink enough, and occasionally see meat and fish? This is simply coming to heaven all at once.

But on the other hand, some of the leaders of Yongsheng disagreed with Qin Bai's "spending money randomly".

It is worth noting that the land reclamation in Shanglin Village is actually a kind of random money. The cost of land reclamation is actually quite high, and the manpower and material resources invested in water conservancy projects are quite huge. In other words, the fields that are easier to reclaim have been reclaimed and mature land have long been reclaimed. Is it my turn to reclaim land?

Therefore, these investments may take more than ten years or decades of land output to barely recover the cost. Therefore, the farming society needs stability and the people here need to have persistent perseverance.

In this regard, China is still good. Yugong moved mountains to his hometown! There is no shortage of stability and perseverance. He has been continuously developing water conservancy. Although it is limited to the level of productivity, the efficiency is not very high.

Look at foreign countries, like the Middle East in the Middle East in the Middle Ages, they basically planted slashes and fire, abandoned and rotated crops. Why? It was because the investment in water conservancy was too large. It was not until the industrial revolution that industrial agriculture was developed that many water conservancy projects were built. Including China, when the founding of the People's Republic of China, water conservancy construction that lasted for decades, can still enjoy dividends.
