Chapter 321 Black Hearted Prefect

With the expansion of the Hou Mansion, Yingyou and Qing'er both have separate courtyards. Even Bing'er, in order to cultivate her independent character, Ouyang Shuo arranged for the little girl to live alone in a small courtyard, and Zisu would take care of her personally.

Although the Hou Mansion has been expanded again and again, the tradition of eating in the mansion is still maintained. The two sisters Yingyou and Qing'er, no matter how busy they were, would rush to the main courtyard and accompany Ouyang Shuo to have dinner together.

Ouyang Shuo arranged this way because he didn't want to weaken the relationship between siblings because of the distance in space.

Compared to Yingyou's rumors, Qing'er is living a happy life. Her clothing workshop has been expanded repeatedly, and now it has developed into the largest workshop in Shanhai City, employing hundreds of tailors alone.

The orders of garment workshops have long been not limited to the basic welfare contracts of the Finance Department, but accept orders from ordinary people, major settlements and even chambers of commerce.

In the next step, Qinger plans to introduce looms and build a large-scale weaving workshop to solve the problem of cloth supply. Coupled with the large-scale ready-to-wear store opened on the street, it basically connects the upper and lower industrial chains.

In the future, Qing'er is even planning to lease large tracts of land in the west to build specialized mulberry and cotton gardens to solve the problem of raw materials.

Qing'er herself is still in charge of the tailor shop, mainly responsible for the design of clothing styles and advanced customization.

The industry chain theory that Ouyang Shuo taught her was used to the extreme by Xiao Nizi.

With the expansion of the business territory, it brings a steady stream of profits to Qing'er. The little fortune fan's dream of wealth has basically come true, his personal assets are close to 10,000 gold coins, and he has become one of the richest businessmen in Shanhai City.

Ouyang Shuo never expected that Qing'er was so talented in business.

The downside is that Qing'er seems to be too obsessed with wealth, and even the craftsmanship of housekeeping is slowly going to waste. She is the first skilled person in the territory to be promoted to master, but not the first skilled person to be promoted to grandmaster.

Not to mention the master-level blacksmith Wang Hao who came from behind, and the master-level shipbuilder Zheng Dahai, they must be one step ahead of her. After the construction of "Longshou", they will be promoted soon.

For this reason, Ouyang Shuo specially approached Qing'er and told her about the powerful relationship. He really didn't want to see Qing'er's excellent tailoring talent go to waste.

As for the effect, it remains to be tested by time.

The development of garment workshops is basically the epitome of the rapid development of early shops in Shanhai City.

The first batch of privatized workshop owners and shopkeepers, as long as there were no accidents in the middle, basically all became rich, and became a group of people who got rich first in the territory.

With the growth of wealth, the desire of businessmen also began to expand.

The first one is to put forward higher demands on the living environment. Wealthy businessmen are no longer satisfied with the small residences built by the construction department, but want to buy homesteads and build large ones by themselves.

To put it bluntly, they are jealous of the living conditions in the official residence area.

It just so happened that the planning of Shanhai City was released, and the construction department joined forces with Shanhai Mansion to plan a separate piece of land in the outer city under planning, and leased it to powerful wealthy businessmen, allowing them to build their own houses.

In the regional planning of Shanhai City, the core area where the Marquis of Lianzhou is located is called Wangcheng. Outside the royal city is the inner city. Inside the city walls of the original Yushui County and Youyi County, it is also called the inner city.

The area outside the three inner cities is collectively called the outer city.

The outer city covers an area of ​​more than 600 square kilometers, which is equivalent to the size of eight Tang Chang'an cities. With such a large area, Shanhai Mansion certainly doesn't feel bad about using it.

Based on the land transfer fee alone, Shanhai Mansion has recorded more than 50,000 gold coins, and the number is still increasing.

In addition to wealthy businessmen, the spending power of military families cannot be ignored.

With the passage of time, the generals in the army basically married their daughters-in-law and started a family. The generous military pay ensures that their relatives can live a rich and stable life.

For the families of soldiers, the territory already has preferential treatment.

Shanhai Mansion is also in the outer city, planning a larger area as a family area for soldiers. The living conditions in this area are much higher than those in ordinary residential areas, and the facilities are more complete.

Of course, there is a fee for housing, and the price is expensive. In this way, Wei Ran, the prefect of Shanhai Prefecture, looted all the military salaries saved by the soldiers all at once.

Because of this, the soldiers called Wei Ran a "black-hearted magistrate" behind their backs, and even made a fuss to the Military Affairs Department.

Du Ruhui, Director of Military Affairs, was also helpless. After all, Wei Ran acted in accordance with the regulations and did not exceed them. Furthermore, the territory is separated from the military and the government. Although he is the director of military affairs, he can't control Wei Ran.

When Ouyang Shuo heard about this, he just laughed it off and ignored it. He didn't expect that Wei Ran had such an economic mind, and could perfectly restore the modern real estate industry in Shanhai City.

In addition to selling land to wealthy businessmen to build houses, Wei Ran also actively lobbied major chambers of commerce, persuading them to acquire land in outer cities and build various workshops supporting the chambers of commerce.

Cui's Chamber of Commerce was the first to respond, and took the lead in winning a piece of land on the bank of the Friendship River at a price of 20,000 gold coins. The Hequanji Chamber of Commerce was naturally unwilling to lag behind, and won a larger piece of land at the price of 30,000 gold coins.

The closer to the river, the more sought-after the land.

Of course, everything has a charter. If the chamber of commerce wants to acquire land, it doesn't mean that it can acquire any piece of land it wants. It must conform to the overall planning of Shanhai City. It can only acquire land within the designated area, and it cannot take one piece in the east and one piece in the west. It must form a cluster effect.

Only when all the land in one area has been sold will the land in the next area be sold.

Not only that, Wei Ran also personally went to Xianyang to lobby the Chamber of Commerce in Xianyang City, inviting them to invest in Shanhai City and set up a branch.

Not to mention, Wei Ran's lobbying is really effective. Currently, two chambers of commerce have agreed to settle in Shanhai City.

The construction of Shanhai City also attracted the attention of Quanzhou.

Relying on the good relationship between the two places, Wei Ran tried his best to publicize the planning and development prospects of Shanhai City, and also formulated a series of preferential policies to attract Quanzhou people to settle or do business in Shanhai City. After some operations by Wei Ran, the immigration wave in Quanzhou ushered in another small peak.

In the city of Quanzhou alone, four chambers of commerce agreed to settle in Shanhai City.

After tasting the sweetness, Wei Ran's ambitions also swelled. He began to contact Shanhai City's offices in major royal cities, actively publicized Shanhai City's policies, and attracted chambers of commerce from major royal cities to settle in Shanhai City.

After this incident, Shanhai City became famous all over the world.

All of a sudden, Shanhai City was buzzing with people, and it was very lively.

Wei Ran's core idea is to use private funds and power to jointly build Shanhai City.

Thinking about it carefully, Wei Ran is really "black hearted". Shanhai City not only sells land, but also acts as a real estate developer. Compared with modern society, it goes a step further.

In this way, Shanhai City received a large amount of funds, which is enough to support the subsequent construction of Shanhai City. The Finance Department is still worrying about raising funds for the construction of Shanhai City, but Wei Ran has already solved the problem by himself.

You know, the city wall project is only a small part of the construction of Shanhai City. After the city wall is built, the construction of roads in the city and the construction of municipal implementation will be the big ones. The funds needed are simply astronomical.

It is obviously not feasible to rely on financial allocations alone.

This was also one of the main reasons why Ouyang Shuo didn't interfere with Wei Ran, he had no money! After this incident, Wei Ran can be regarded as gaining a firm foothold in Shanhai City and preliminarily establishing his prestige.

Of course, it will take at least a year or two before the construction of Shanhai City is completed.

Closer to home.

During dinner, Ouyang Shuo mentioned the matter of going to Yazhou.

For this long journey, Zisu will definitely accompany her.

Bing'er has already got the news that the little girl is a ghost, she has already inquired clearly, and knows that the Yazhou mentioned by her brother is the beautiful Sanya, she is very happy.

In reality, Ouyang Shuo once took Binger to Sanya once, and the little girl still remembers it vividly.

"I'm going too!" Seeing Bing'er so happy, chirping and describing the beautiful scenery of Yazhou Beach, Qing'er couldn't help being curious, and began to pester Ouyang Shuo.

"Sure!" Ouyang Shuo naturally wouldn't favor one person over another.

"Yeah! Big brother is the best!" Qing'er was excited and got into trouble with Bing'er.

Just as Ouyang Shuo expected, Qing'er and Bing'er, one big and one small two troublemakers, really "smell like each other", the two hit each other very well, and now they seem to be a pair of sisters, their relationship is deeper than anyone else.

"Brother, can you take Xiaobai with you?" Binger suddenly thought of her little friend. The little white wolf was curled up in Bing'er's arms at the moment, and when he heard the little master's words, he turned his head to look at Ouyang Shuo very spiritually. He had a pair of small eyes, so cute, he didn't look like the king of the wolf clan at all.

"Of course!" Ouyang Shuo couldn't refuse.

Xiaobai was full of spirituality and could fully understand their conversation. Seeing that Ouyang Shuo agreed, his eyes narrowed happily, as cute as he could be.

"What about Xiao Hei?" The little girl began to push forward.

Ouyang Shuo was speechless, really clever: "As long as you want, you can take anyone with you."

"Great!"

Yingyou, who was sitting by the side, watched the two younger sisters fight with a gloomy expression. She has a hard life, as the director of finance, one of the four giants, she can't get away from it at all, and she can only envy her at this moment.
