Steel Dynasty - Chapter 297

[Chapter 297 Ding Wanquan’s Thoughts]

In the government office, when it came to banks, Xiao Ming explained to Pang Yukun that although it was a bank, it was basically the same as a bank.

Pang Yukun understood.

Having said this, he then took out the drawings of the municipal construction.

Generally speaking, this municipal construction is divided into two parts, one is the construction of cement roads, and the other is the construction of underground pipelines.

Needless to say, this cement road also contains underground pipes and sewage pipes.

In the future, Qingzhou will definitely be a place with extremely prosperous business. Xiao Ming naturally wants to take a longer-term view, so he has a design drawing of the underground pipeline.

At the same time as road construction, underground pipelines need to be constructed at the same time.

Pang Yukun didn’t understand the original intention of this design at first, but he understood it after Xiao Ming explained it. He said with a smile: “Your Highness, this underground pipe is truly unique in space. No city in the Chongqing Kingdom has such a sewage pipe. We in Qingzhou It’s still the first one, but Your Highness, where will the sewage pipeline eventually lead?”

Xiao Ming has been planning in his mind about the construction of the underground pipeline. Once the underground pipeline is completed, he can renovate the palace and live a happy life from now on. The days of sitting comfortably on the toilet.

Moreover, sewage pipes have great uses.

“It leads to the king’s palace.” Xiao Ming smiled proudly. Without the smell of manure, there would be no smell of rice flowers.

The destination of the sewage pipe will be a large septic tank. This septic tank is of great use. It can not only provide fertilizer for Guanzhuang, but also try to use biogas in the future.

Since he comes from modern times, he naturally has to think about the long term.

“I understand, Your Highness is wise.”

Pang Yukun understood, and he naturally understood that there is no fat grass that does not grow.

After explaining the detailed plan to Pang Yukun, Xiao Ming asked him to start working on it, one for banks and the other for municipal construction.

To forge iron, you still need to be hard-working. As long as the army is focused on it, urban construction must also be focused on.

Three days later, the Qingzhou government official posted the drawings for the construction of roads and underground pipelines in Qingzhou City, and at the same time officially announced Qingzhou’s bidding in the newspaper.

“Tendering? This is the first time I’ve heard of this word. It’s interesting.”

In a shop in Dongshi, Ding Wanquan looked at the newspaper with interest. The newspaper contained an explanation of the meaning of the word “tendering” and some special terms in construction.

So after reading the news in the newspaper, you can easily understand what bidding is, what contracting is, and what engineering is.

“Shopkeeper, it’s a pity that we can’t take this Qingzhou road.” Standing beside Ding Wanquan was his butler.

“Of course it’s a pity. King Qi has made it clear that he favors local businessmen in Qingzhou this time. This is to ask other businessmen to join the Qingzhou household registration and settle in Qingzhou from then on. I can still see this little trick.” Ding Wanquan put down the newspaper and drank at the same time. saliva.

The steward said: “In this case, can we cooperate with the businessmen who have received the project? In this way, can’t we share some profits?”

Ding Wanquan’s eyes flashed and he said: “Stupid, local businessmen in Qingzhou It’s not like you don’t know how much money they have. They don’t have much money. Wouldn’t it be better if we just lend money at high interest rates? “

” Master, you are so smart. One day with you is enough for this old slave to learn for a year,” the steward said flatteringly. .

Ding Wanquan was very proud, but when he saw the following report, his face suddenly turned ugly. In this news, the Qingzhou government proposed to set up a bank in six states. This bank is equivalent to a bank, and the people of Qingzhou can go to the bank to deposit money. Silver, borrow money.

“Anyone who borrows one tael of silver only needs two profit per month.” Ding Wanquan’s face suddenly became a little hot, “This King Qi is really ruthless. I didn’t expect that even this way to make a fortune was blocked by foreign businessmen.”

In his heart .

While secretly hating him, he was also a little envious. Qingzhou was too tolerant of merchants, but it was a pity that he belonged to the King of Wei.

If his wealth and life were not in the hands of King Wei, he would really want to settle in Qingzhou.

As a businessman, he naturally has a keen sense of smell. He can feel that Qingzhou will definitely be a place where merchants gather in the future, and it would be a pity to miss this opportunity.

However, double betting has always been his specialty. He said to the housekeeper: “Call Ding Wu.”

The old housekeeper was startled when he heard this. Ding Wu was Ding Wanquan’s illegitimate son. Only he and Ding Wanquan knew about Ding Wu’s identity. exist.

After arriving in Qingzhou, Ding Wanquan took Ding Wu with him and asked him to take charge of Qingzhou’s business.

The old housekeeper went and soon brought a young man with him. The young man had delicate features and very agile eyes. He was a shrewd man at first glance.

“Dad, are you looking for me?” Ding Wu said respectfully.

Nodding, Ding Wanquan said: “Go to the Qingzhou government office in the next two days and apply for Qingzhou household registration.”

“Apply for Qingzhou household registration? Dad, didn’t you promise to let me register as a Jinling household registration?” Ding Wu’s expression changed slightly. .

His mother was not a native of Dayu, but a barbarian woman on the grassland. When she was young, Ding Wanquan went to the grassland to do business. It was at that time that she had him.

Later, Ding Wanquan became successful in Jinling City and was deeply favored by the King of Wei. He also betrothed a distant cousin of Princess Wei to him.

From then on, Ding Wanquan did not dare to mention this matter again, but later secretly asked the old housekeeper to take Ding Wu and his son to Jinling City, and later let him come to Qingzhou.

“It’s not like you don’t know what happened in Jinling City. If you and your mother are discovered, will you still be alive? I brought you to Qingzhou to protect you, and if something happens to Jinling City in the future, we will still have a place to stay in Qingzhou. “Dian, you look like me, can’t you see the current situation in Qingzhou?” Ding Wanquan said angrily.

Ding Wu originally thought that Ding Wanquan was abandoning their mother and son again, but then he suddenly realized that Ding Wanquan was doing it to save his life.

He said: “Dad, I understand.”

Ding Wanquan nodded, “And as a Qingzhou native, you can boldly do business in Qingzhou in the future. Remember, since you become a Qingzhou native, you must be loyal to the King of Qi. You cannot Then he thought, I am in Jinling City, and you are in Qingzhou. It is extremely cold at the top, and you and I can help each other when we are in trouble. “

” Dad, you are thoughtful, but I am reckless. In this case, my son. I went to apply for Qingzhou household registration in the afternoon, maybe I can join in the Qingzhou road construction.”

Ding Wanquan nodded with satisfaction, and then sighed again, this is also the businessman’s helplessness.

No matter how much money you have, what’s the use? A word from the government office can confiscate your family property.

However, he saw a different scene in Qingzhou. The government here treated businessmen more kindly, and they were not as overbearing as the local government.

It was precisely because of this that he made up his mind to let Ding Wu join the Qingzhou household registration. He could wait and see what changes Qingzhou could bring to Ding Wu.
