Chapter 230 The Road to Shangzhai (Repair)
"Of course, the money from the public cannot be used at will." Chen Dujing smiled and said, "But the Nan'an villa on the island must be built. The expected wedding date is this year. It is said that it is August or September at most, and it cannot exceed October. It is necessary to build a Marquis' villa and build a decent mansion. A large garden will take a long time. In addition, the maids and servants who serve, the teeth of the guards must also have a place to live. Let's choose a site. Let's build a villa for him, and we will build 10,000 houses for him. Tell him that this is the dowry of the third sister and cannot be considered his property!"
Of course, a contract must be established when a house is built and reported to Fuzhou for filing. The level of economic management of the Great Wei is far superior to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. If there were Ming or Qing dynasties in history, it would be impossible to keep up with the level of economic management of the Great Wei.
A large villa consists of practical courtyards, from the gate to Eryi, the main hall, the side courtyard, the stable kitchen and the back garden, the exquisite mountains and rocks, the drainage canals, ponds, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, and pavilions. A large number of flowers can be found, and it may be built like a few thousand guan. According to the standards of both houses, and the prospect of the development of the Dongfan period, this villa costs at least 50,000 to 60,000 guan. According to the land price in Fuzhou, it is a price of thousands of acres of land. If it is a slope field, it is enough to buy ten thousand acres of acres.
An ordinary house, if you build ten thousand rooms, of course, it is impossible for a maid and servant to live in the residence, just to help Xu Zixian develop it.
There is no need to mention a house, a thatched house, it is not worth it, and it is just some labor. Xu Zi first wanted to build a decent brick-walled and tile-roofed house, and the cost of one is between eight cents and ten cents.
A small farmyard with five houses and gates costs between 40 and 50 jin, and can usually be sold for 60 jin.
If you sell it in Fuzhou City, you may get 200 trump cards, but this is not the construction cost, but the premium of land prices in developed cities.
In Dongfan, the cost is probably higher, one shop at least ten cents, which means that between these words of Chen Dujing, 200,000 cents were almost given away.
"I can't tell you that your little sister has no money to live..." Chen Dujing said with a smile: "Give you another 300 taels of gold, 30,000 taels of silver, and 30,000 guan. In addition, the business in the Dongfan period will always make some profits in a year. From my part, I will give my little sister a pocket money."
Re-export trade was carried out in the Dongfan Commercial Bank, which is also one of the conditions for supporting and developing the Dongfan Commercial Bank. Both Chen Duguang and Chen Duzhong agreed. The business established in the name of the Marquis' Mansion had the income of the Gongzhong. Chen Dujing was the patriarch and parent, and the income was definitely the largest part.
However, Chen Dujing estimated that the biggest year-round re-export trade in Dongfan must be cotton cloth. After all, Dongfan was developed for cotton fields and weaving.
To be honest, if Xu Zixian had not shown his technical prospects on cotton and weaving, whether it was a single-pedal machine, a hydraulic spinning machine, or a hydraulic loom, it was Changwen Hou Mansion that felt the potential strength of the Nan'an Hou Mansion, and I am afraid that this kind of cooperation would still remain on paper.
There are already ready-made acquisition channels, and the cloth transactions that have been cut off every year have made Changwen Hou Mansion a lot of money. Why do you have to take risks on a deserted island?
Even if you plant cotton, make lint, spun into cotton thread, and weave it into cloth, you don’t know how many steps you have to go through. There are too many examples of mistakes in one link and all previous efforts are wasted.
The Nan'an Marquis Mansion has excellent talents and super organizational capabilities, which can be confirmed by everyone in Changwen Marquis Mansion. Because of this, a group of old foxes endured the pain and spent a lot of money to invest in a deserted island like the Dongfan that has not turned over for 200 years.
If there is anything wrong with cotton production, spun cotton, and weaving, it can be considered as throwing money into the sea, which can make the families of Fuzhou laugh to death.
Because of the conflict with Xu Zixian, Chen Man, the Marquis of Jingyuan, had already spoken out and had to wait to see the jokes of Changwen Hou Mansion and Xu Zixian.
However, Chen Dujing probably won't have much problem.
Human resources, herds, seeds, and farm tools have been prepared for a long time. The people from Changwen Hou Mansion also went to Dongfan to see it. In the southern plains that Xu Zixian mentioned, there are indeed large plain areas without mountainous land, about 100 miles from east to west and about 400 miles from north to south. If all of them are developed, there will be four or five million acres of arable land, plus more than one million acres of forest land, a considerable water area, and a considerable coastline. Various resources are quite abundant. Xu Zixian has to do things first, and he is meticulous and meticulous. There is no possibility of failure to succeed.
As long as the distribution is accumulated, the re-export trade will always have some scale in the Dongfan, but Chen Dujing probably will not be too large. It would be good to have a profit of about tens of thousands of cents a year. I would give my younger daughter 30% of them, and at most a few thousand cents a year, so I can only use pocket money.
"I'm jealous." Chen Zhengzhi joked: "My son doesn't have that much pocket money."
Chen Dujing smiled and ignored Chen Zhengzhi, who was talking nonsense. Fujianese people marry daughters, the more dowry the better. Chen Zhengzhi is a family, and the more dowry they are, they are scary.
This custom has not changed after hundreds of years. The more dowry, the less bullying the daughter will be, the higher the status will be, and the more face the mother's family will be.
Of course, the two marquises don’t have to compete in this matter. Chen Dujing gave so much, but he knew that Xu Zi would spend a lot of effort on Dongfan Island in the future. He was very likely to live in Dongfan forever. Of course, the more comfortable his daughter lives, the better.
If it weren't for some fear, Chen Dujing would have wished to repair the Marquis' House in Nan'an and the Marquis' House in Fuzhou City. Spending tens of thousands of yuan is just a trivial matter, and the most important thing is that his daughter's life is comfortable.
Chen Dujing and his daughters were all well married. Li Mingyu is also a family of officials and gentry in Fujian. The family also has a luxury house. The daughter who married him is not afraid of suffering.
They prefer their younger daughter Chen Dujing and have a lot of dowry, but they are not jealous either. After all, they marry officials, but the younger sister is married to the Marquis' Mansion, and their etiquette is one level higher than ordinary officials.
For aristocratic families, family affection should be discussed, and even more about personal connections and forces.
The stronger the strength of Xu Zixian, the younger sister, the more dowry she gave, the other sisters would only be happy, because if their own family power would also rise sharply.
Such things are beyond imagination by ordinary people. What is the point of making a small profit for such a little bit of money? Xu Zixian will divide some of the power territory in the future at will, which is not enough for everyone to make a fortune?
"Thank you, my father." Chen Wenjun stood up and squatted for a blessing. A smile appeared on her beautiful face. Her father and brother's love was quite obvious. As for Xu Zixian, the future husband, now he has given a lot of power to the head of the lord, the future mistress of the marquis's house, and she is pampered with her, what else can I say?
...
Compared to Chen Wenjun's satisfaction, Xu Zixian's face became much gloomy.
He has been in office in Qizhou for more than ten days. He first became familiar with official affairs in the prefecture office, and asked Chen Zuocai, Chen Daojian and others to be familiar with the government affairs procedures and could not make mistakes in official affairs.
Xu Zixian himself inspected the precautions in Qizhou and other places, surrounded by Wu Weisan and others.
Fang Shaoqun has always followed him. Although he is not close enough, he now knows clearly inside and outside the marquis's mansion that the one who relies on and trusts the most is Mr. Fang who followed from the capital.
These days, Xu Zi’s first focus is on Shangzhai.
The village was halfway up Qishan. Xu Zi first followed a team of supplies to go up to the village together.
The last time I came here was seven or eight years ago. Xu Zixian was still a teenager at that time. I only remember that it was difficult to walk along the way. He was drowsy and half asleep. Sometimes he lay in his father's arms, sometimes he fell asleep on a sedan chair carried by a mountain man, with thick bedding on his body. Even in summer, due to the strong wind and cold wind on the mountain, especially on the mountainside, it was much colder than at the foot of the mountain.
Xu Zixian always remembers that when he woke up, his father covered himself with a quilt...
My memories of youth were blurred. Xu Zi first remembered only the scattered villages at the foot of the mountain, the uneven and sharpened wooden fences, and then the sheep-intestine path from the foot of the mountain to the side of the mountain.
Shangzhai is built on a flat ground on the hillside, and it is also an area surrounded by large wooden fences. There are several arrow towers, more than 500 soldiers in the wings, and there are small schoolyards, with more than a dozen arrow targets, arsenal arsenal, military ration warehouse, a shed area where soldiers sleep, and an isolated martial arts hall. After the martial arts hall, there is a small courtyard where Shangzhai commanders, and there are only twenty houses, without any extra decoration. After all, from the foot of the mountain, donkeys can no longer walk in the most dangerous place, so they can only carry a load on their shoulders to Shangzhai. If they weren't for the Qishan thief, how could they build a military camp on such a steep mountainside?
The peak is too steep, and the largest place can only accommodate dozens of people. Otherwise, I am afraid that the people who built the village would build the Junzhai to the top of Qishan.
There were also many beacon towers along the way, some thin and numb soldiers of the wing army holding tattered long wands or iron spears, watching Xu Zixian and others pass by indifferently.
When they knew that they were the new defensive commanders and commanded the troops of Shangzhai, these soldiers of the wing army came back to life and hurriedly gave Xu Zi a first salute.
Xu Zixian looked ugly, not because the road to Shangzhai was difficult to walk, but because Li Xingwu and Dong Ruixiang were still persistent, not only did not come to pay their respects, but they did not get sick after being ill several times.
Xu Zixian has lost his patience. If these two people are still so desperate and disobey orders, after going down the mountain, Xu Zixian will use the excuse that they will not be able to deal with it. He impeached the two veterans with command, and even checked the weapons, the empty quotas, and the logistics and military supplies. Some of them are able to deal with these two thorns.
