Chapter 551 Finalization
The emperor expressed satisfaction, but finally said: "The design margin should be a little larger."
No one knows how fast the future development will be, and Derek has no idea.
But the empire is not short of money, so waste is waste.
In this prosperous empire, there are people who pay for it.
Dagu was a little puzzled, but since the emperor made a decision, he didn't say anything more.
"I will ask them to change it when I go back, and then ask your majesty to take a look."
Derrick nodded and asked: "How does the new position feel?"
"It's very stressful, much more complicated than when I was in the army, but I will get used to it.
They are just a group of literati. If I push them to the limit, I will overturn the table, and they can't do anything." Dagu replied.
As a ruthless man from a military background, he really can do such a thing.
Holding the knife handle, he is so tough.
Derrick laughed and scolded: "You killer, where do you think you are? Can you still use a knife?
But it's good to scare them, so that there will be no noise all the time."
Dagu also laughed, and the emperor was still like this.
When he said goodbye and left the palace, he felt more confident.
Back at the city government, Dagu thought of the silver gentleman again and rang the bell to call the secretary: "Please ask Mr. Good to see me."
He has been very busy recently and has no time to take care of some things.
But he saw what the silver gentlemen did.
These guys are really smart people and know what they should do.
To be honest, the existence of the silver business is equivalent to a catfish, which has stimulated some local businessmen and reduced a lot of trouble for him.
These are all gifts from the silver gentlemen, and Dagu certainly can't turn a blind eye.
There is a give and take, and it is called a give and take.
Soon, Good came to the city government respectfully.
It was also in this place that the mayor's authority was greatly enhanced.
Majesty, power, and class have never been so clear.
After layers of inspection, he met Dagu.
Dagu gestured for him to sit down. After the secretary made a cup of tea for Gude, he said, "The Silver Grain Store has done a good job recently. It has stabilized the grain price and saved the food supply for the people in the imperial capital.
I heard that you have encountered some troubles. Can you handle it?"
Gude replied confidently, "Some old guys who are used to being domineering. Don't worry, sir. We can handle it."
Dagu just brought up the topic. He knew that the silver gentlemen would not be so unbearable.
"With the grain price so low, is there still profit in transporting it from afar?
I still hope that you can do what you can, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, rather than losing money and making a fuss."
Gude was slightly moved. To be honest, such a kind official is really rare.
He replied sincerely and with some admiration, "The price will be reduced by half to be the cost line. Don't worry, sir."
Dagu raised his eyebrows. Although he was born in poverty, he really didn't know much about the cost of grain.
"Is the profit so big here?"
"Not so big. The planting cost in the colonies is lower. Even with the transportation cost, it should be lower than that in the mainland. This profit...isn't it very common."
Merchants? Isn't it just to obtain excess profits?
If big merchants like them who control a business can't make money, won't other small merchants have no way to survive?
Dago stood up and walked around twice, muttering to himself: "Is the profit of doing business so big?"
Goode didn't explain. In fact, they are direct first-level distributors. If they are subcontracted layer by layer, the profit is normal.
Fortunately, Dagu knows the limit. Without investigation, he has no right to speak. It is impossible to listen to Goode's one-sided words.
He quickly suppressed some thoughts and expressed his intentions: "You silver gentlemen have done a good job recently. I am not a harsh person. There are many projects in the construction of the new city. You prepare a construction team and I will give you some work to do.
Take this opportunity to integrate into the local area and take root in the imperial capital. The future will be better."
Goode stood up and thanked him immediately after hearing it.
"We will definitely support you. Making money is not our primary goal, you know."
"I know, but it is better to rely on yourself than on others. What I can do is not to protect you, but to let you stand firm on your own feet.
You have done a good job. Get involved in the livelihood industry. When you open a factory in the future, get involved in industry, and take root in the empire, you will not need to rely on others at that time."
With a foundation, you can naturally protect yourself.
Dago never thought of protecting the silver gentlemen forever at the beginning, but to support them to become part of the empire.
Good only understood Dagu's thoughts at this time. This kind of mind is beyond imagination. He was moved and surprised, and didn't know what to say for a while.
"Mayor Dagu, don't worry... The silver gentleman is not a person who doesn't know what's good for him. You will always be our backer."
He tried to express his feelings. If Dagu just asked for it, he would not have any objection.
But Dagu is so generous that even if he can stand firm one day, he will definitely not betray the other party.
This backer has a completely different meaning, which means to show loyalty.
Dagu didn't have any other reaction. He didn't know whether what Gude said was true or not. Fortunately, he didn't have any extra thoughts and could accept the result no matter what it was.
After chatting for a while, Dagu let Gude go.
As for how the latter prepared, he believed that he could do it well.
In this way, another month passed. The city design was revised several times and finally got the approval of His Majesty the Emperor and was finalized.
Dagu completed the demolition work with extremely efficient work efficiency.
In fact, there is no such thing as getting rich through demolition.
As soon as the official order was given, the people all relocated obediently.
The authority of the central government officially reached its peak in the feudal era.
The preliminary construction work has begun, and there is not even a process such as bidding, it all depends on Dagu's assignment.
The official construction team began to enter the site, and a large amount of construction work was assigned to private forces.
Goode and others received part of the project, which was not a complicated job. It was to build roads, dig holes, and build a few low-rise houses.
The Silver Gentlemen were so enthusiastic that they took the opportunity to recruit a group of people and officially became the contractors.
This kind of government order is not very profitable, but it is absolutely stable and reliable.
Moreover, the central government has a good reputation and has no default issues.
The most important thing is that the current preliminary project is just an appetizer. The amount of work to build a new city is huge, and there is a lot of stable income waiting for them later.
The Silver Gentleman was able to break through the siege and obtain a part of the business, which shocked many people.
For example, Ferranz was extremely envious. This was a business of picking money out of pockets, a business that was sure to make a profit without losing any money.
Ferranz, who was itching, couldn't help but find Qin and expressed his intention: "Your Highness, we can also do the business of building a new city. This is a business that will make a profit without losing any money."
