Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 3110 Heartbeat

The county magistrate of   Road stood at the door of the house and looked into the distance, his face could not be concealed astonishment.

  Long Pond has changed a lot.

  The Song family who were invited to the ceremony were even more shocked than the county magistrate Lu. They stood on this flat land and watched the transformed Longchi, unable to say a word.

  To say that the people present except the Beihai county official's office know Longchi best, it must be the Lu county magistrate and the Song family.

Needless to say, the Song family has been in charge of the Longchi Salt Field for many years. In their eyes, Longchi has always been a barren place with a salt field and two small fishing villages. Although the value it creates is high, this place is less populated and poor... …

In order to seize the Longchi Salt Farm, County Majesty Lu also had a deep understanding of this place. He did the job of buying two small fishing villages and the Longchi Salt Farm chief. He felt that the future development of Longchi was only because of the attraction of the salt farm. More people can form a small bazaar around here, but now...

  I saw that the previously bumpy land was leveled, and at a glance, this was a very level open space.

There are people going back and forth on the wharf. Many thatched houses were built on the previous salt field. The workers at the wharf basically lived there. There was a large stove for cooking salt in the open space in front, and there were also pots on it at this time. Or boiling hot water, or steaming rice and steamed buns...

  Further forward is the area where the workers live. There are some small vendors selling things, including clothes and footwear, and some antifreeze ointments.

And the area where they are standing now is the working and living area of ​​Cui Wei and other officials and masters. Some houses have been built around this area. It can be seen that this should also be a temporary construction, directly a mud house, but it must Better than a thatched house, at least not so dim.

Behind    is the flat land that is out of sight. There are so many people coming and going nearby, so that it gives people the feeling that Longchi Wharf is very prosperous.

  This is the popularity!

The county magistrate of   Lu squinted his eyes, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.

  His master was also very shocked. He also knew the old Longchi and couldn't help swallowing the water: "It's only been a year..."

The county magistrate of   Road exhaled: "This is the popularity. There are people who are popular. It's no wonder that Bai Shan has recruited so many people and still can't stop it."

  Master: "How much does it cost."

  Supporting people is very expensive, not only the wages, but also their food, drink and clothing, which is a huge expense every day.

The county magistrate of   Road said meaningfully: “So not everyone can use this method.”

  At least he can't. He doesn't have the ability to get so much money, and he doesn't have the guts to take such a big risk.

  Guo Cishi is chatting with Liu Cishi in Laizhou next door.

  If Beihai County’s finances mainly come from the saltworks, then Laizhou’s finances mainly come from the docks.

  Now that a new wharf is opened in Beihai County, next door to Laizhou, it is not said that the first sea-going ship was sent by them. The taste of it, who is affected by it, knows.

  But Guo Cishi’s smile is not very happy, he just thinks that now Laizhou has also learned the method of drying salt, he feels complicated.

  Taking the coastline of Laizhou, their amount of sun-dried salt next year will definitely not be lower than that of Qingzhou. The taste of it is also who knows who is affected.

  The two provincial governors felt sour and complicated, but they smiled on their faces. They looked at each other, the smiles on their faces became stronger, and they greeted each other again.

  Bai Shan was very satisfied with their harmonious atmosphere, and handed the battlefield to the two chiefs, and he went out to greet other guests, such as the future customers of Longchi Wharf, and the current potential customers-gentry merchants.

  Bai Shan brought Zhou Liwei and Fangxian Cheng.

As soon as the gentry merchants who came here heard that Zhou Liwei was in charge of the saltworks, they immediately cheered up and greeted him enthusiastically. When they heard that Fang County Cheng was responsible for the follow-up construction of the Longchi area, everyone was even more enthusiastic. , Surrounded the two of them.

  Zhou Liwei is young and has little knowledge. Remember what my little uncle said just now, "How can Fangxian Cheng deal with them, you can deal with them.

   Zhou Liwei roughly touched a little bit, and in the eyes of everyone, he was neither humble nor overbearing.

  Some people couldn’t help but talk privately, “I don’t look at it, but I don’t act humble or overbearing. I am worthy of being Lord Bai’s nephew.”

   "If you can bring up someone like Master Zhou, where can your nephew go?"

   "Yes, listening to him is also a scholar."

  "Longchi is very popular here. I just heard what Fangxian Cheng said. There is an open space behind here to build houses and shops?"

The county magistrate of   Road was also discussing this with Bai Shan. He pointed to the white gray on the ground and asked, "This is?"

   "The size of each shop yard," Bai Shan said, "I will sell it piece by piece at that time."

  The county magistrate blinked, thinking of the gentry merchant who had been recommended by him but returned without success, "Didn’t you say you don’t sell land?"

   "Sell it," Bai Shan said slowly, "It's just some of my requirements."

   "For example?"

  "For example, the height and size of the house to be built depends on me and the price."

The county magistrate    directly skipped the first requirement and asked: "How is the price calculated?"

  Bai Shan pointed to the tunnel under his feet: “Buy a piece of land and build a piece of land for free. Each person can buy a maximum of five pieces of land per household.”

  Road county magistrate: "...you are stealing money."

A piece of land of about an acre, especially in such a barren place, is worth three taels of money. He actually asked him to build a house for free. If you count the materials and labor, fifty or sixty taels are less. Yes, if he builds a three-story building, I'm afraid he will have to break through a hundred taels.

  How much do the people who buy the land lose?

  Bai Shan pointed to the dock not far away and said, "Major Lu, look at my dock, this is still not built, wait for it to be built..."

He looked around and found that there was no official from Laizhou nearby, so he lowered his voice and said, "When it is built, it will be beyond the Laizhou Wharf. By then, 100 taels of business and travel goods will be nothing but shops. One year's rent is nothing, do you think they made a profit?"

  He said: "The court and I spent so much money to build a wharf here and attract so many business travelers. How could it be possible to sell land at the price of ordinary open land?"

The county magistrate of   Road pondered, and looked up at him for a long while, "Master Bai sold it?"

   "No," Bai Shan was not depressed, and said with a smile: "They didn't sell it before because they didn't have confidence in Longchi Wharf, but after today, are you still worried that no one will buy it?"

"Well, county magistrate Lu, would you like to buy a piece of land?" Bai Shan smiled and said, "Bai can't help but remind you that you can choose a good location now, otherwise I will be interested in a few days later. , I can't leave a good place for you."

The county magistrate of   Lu suspected that he was deliberately trying to cheat his money, raised his eyes to look at him, and said after a long while: "I am not from Qingzhou, I always want to leave..."

Bai Shan said indifferently: "Just leave the property and sell it. Master Zhou and I are still buying mountains and land in Beihai County. The princess and the horse also built another courtyard. Are we going to stay here for the rest of our lives? ?"

  He said: "When you leave, you have to deal with it, are you still worried about not selling good things?"

The county magistrate of   Road was moved.

  　 see you tomorrow
