Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading
Vol 4 Chapter 282: Beat magic with magic
Chen Luo looked at the clan history sent by Princess Pingyang, and drew a pen on it.
"The Leyacheng clan has a total of sixteen clans, nine of which are currently headed by great scholars. The three clans, He, Lu, and Shi, are the leaders."
"The He family, the most staunch supporter of the Canal School, the owner of the family doesn't matter, the mother is a dragon girl, with a second-grade cultivation. After becoming the owner of the family, it has expanded greatly, and now she is the head of the Leyacheng clan..."
"The Lu family is a local old-fashioned family in Leya City. The owner of the family, Lu Changle, has established a clan here since Leya was still in Changle. He has the highest prestige among the small and medium clans, and he is the second-rank Confucian scholar..."
"The Shi family, originally from the Qingbo City family in Lanzhou, moved to Leya a few years ago. The head of the family, Shi En, sits in the second-rank Da Confucian cultivation base..."
"The Liu family..."
"The Deng family..."
"The Wu family..."
……
The clan chronicle is very detailed. It not only records the specific situation of each family, but also introduces the behavior of some patriarchs. Chen Luo finished the clan chronicle and has a general understanding of Leyacheng in his heart.
Walking from the study to the main hall, he saw Xiang Jixuan and Yang Qianli communicating with the master craftsmen. When Chen Luo went to see Princess Pingyang, these master craftsmen began to check the market conditions in Leya City, and they looked like they had just returned.
Seeing Chen Luo, everyone saluted, Chen Luo asked, "How many master craftsmen, can you make the budget?"
One of the master craftsmen cupped his hands and said: "Master Hou, I have a general understanding. According to the price and labor of Leya City, it is about two million taels of silver to simply repair the port to the extent that it can be put into use. Reconstructing the harbor and surrounding auxiliary facilities will require about 2,000 workers and an investment of 13 million taels.”
"Considering the short-term demand, it may even increase by 20%."
Chen Luo nodded: "Well, the harbour is a lifeline for Dongcang's future. You don't need to press calculations. If the scale is larger, let's plan according to the budget of 20 million taels. Come out with a plan first, we are very happy. Work will start soon."
The master craftsmen nodded, bowed again, and left the main hall, each busying themselves. At this time, only Xiang Jixuan and Yang Qianli were left in the main hall, and the two looked at Chen Luo suspiciously.
"Master Marquis..." Yang Qianli hesitated for a moment and said, "Silver taels are not a problem. The land transaction in the city in the past few days alone is more than this income, but what about the local wealthy families?"
Chen Luo smiled lightly, sat down, and looked at Xiang Jixuan again: "Mr. Xiang, how do you think we will fight this battle?"
Xiang Jixuan frowned: "This old man has fought against the barbarians on the Great Wall in the north all his life, but he has never participated in such a thing. However, this old man feels that the three elements of the decisive victory that Hou Ye said in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are applicable to the world. ."
"The time, the right place, the people and the people."
"Forgive the old man's words, when Cangwu Shipping was abandoned, the canal giants have deep roots and occupy the sky; Leya City was originally a guest place for me, even if I waited for no shortage of silver taels, but if the local giants joined forces, they would be strangled to death. Materials and labor, we can only do nothing, this is the geographical advantage; the people of Leya City have long been accustomed to the convenience of the canal, and they have little feeling about the income from sea transportation, and we have lost people again.”
"The weather, the right place, the people and the people are all my fault. The old man feels that this matter still needs to be discussed in the long-term. Why don't I go back and tell Qin Zhenshou the ins and outs of this matter, and let the government affairs hall come up with a new solution."
"As for the current transportation predicament in Dongcang City, this old man thinks that it is better for us old bones to travel a few more times, and then we will be able to get a sea freight."
Chen Luo heard the words, got up and bowed to Xiang Jixuan, and said, "Mr. Xiang has a heart. But Luo is willing to give it a try, and asks Mr. Xiang for help."
Xiang Jixuan raised his brows and hurriedly returned the salute: "Dare to obey!"
Chen Luo nodded and said to Yang Qianli: "Mr. Yang, you are a local person in Leya City, can you find some well-informed people and spread the news quickly and widely in the market?"
Yang Qianli was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Leya City is a city of trade, and there are various information channels, so people like this are easy to find."
"That's easy to do." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Yang, please let me know that Dongcang is going to build a wharf first. The required materials can be contacted manually. Don't spend any money!"
"Mr. Xiang, it's hard for you to go to the port and release the pressure of the Great Confucianism to confirm this news."
"I want the wealthy families in Leya City to know the news as soon as possible, so that they can unite as soon as possible."
Yang Qianli and Xiang Jixuan handed over their orders and left the main hall.
Chen Luo sat on the main seat, took out the drink that Luo Hongnu had prepared for him from the storage order, took a sip, went through his own plan again in his mind, and smiled in his heart: "The giants? Besides Zhongjing, where else? Does the city have as many wealthy families as me in Dongcang?"
"Master Qin should be busy at this moment!"
……
Dongcang City, the political office.
In the conference hall that was just proposed, it was densely packed with people.
Don't underestimate these people. Behind each of them is a wealthy clan with at least a great scholar.
Looking at these people, Qin Dangguo couldn't help but sigh.
Who would have thought that a few months ago, Dongcang was still an abandoned city that no one cared about!
Qin Dangguo straightened his clothes, walked up, and saluted everyone: "Old man Qin Dangguo, greetings to all the heads of the family."
Everyone got up and returned their salute, and said in unison, "I've seen Qin Zhenshou!"
Qin Dangguo motioned everyone to sit down and said, "This post is for one thing."
"Dongcang City is an isolated city. The city owner wants to open the harbor and connect with Leya City. This matter requires your support."
As soon as Qin Dangguo's voice fell, the entire council hall was instantly silent.
……
Leya City, the He family.
A dozen patriarchs were sitting in the main hall, whispering to each other. After a while, the burly patriarch of the He family, Shi Shiran, came out and laughed.
"What kind of wind is blowing everyone to this old man? The old man has never taken a concubine today..."
Shi's patriarch Shi En said anxiously: "Brother He, don't you know? Then Chen Wuhou of Dongcangcheng is going to build a harbor in Leya City!"
"Yeah." Another Patriarch echoed, "Although it is said that we only travel between Leya and Dongcang, but there is a seaport, and there will inevitably be more ambitions."
"Yes, when I waited to destroy the port before, but I paid a lot of price!"
Why didn't he drink the tea served by a pretty maid, and listened to the discussions of many family owners, he looked at Lu Changle, who had been silent, and asked, "Brother Lu, why didn't you say a word?"
Lu Changle said lightly, "I see that Brother He is very confident, so why panic?"
Why don't you smile again, then put down the teacup and glance at everyone in the hall: "Everyone, I have already heard the news, everyone, please be safe."
"This harbour, he can't repair it!"
"Even if Marquis Wu is a disciple of a saint, so what? Don't forget, everyone, there are nearly a hundred Canal families standing behind me!"
"Let's join forces to lock up labor and materials, and all the materials he wants will not be distributed! What does he use to repair?"
"Do you want to invite Bamboo Sage to come over in person and use the magical power of 'creating something out of nothing'?"
"Even if he repairs it, can he keep it?"
"Even if he can keep it, will the cargo be able to get on the ship by then?"
"The trend is on me!"
"What he wants to do with Wuhou in Dongcang City is his business, but in Leya City, it's not up to him to have the final say!"
Shi En frowned slightly: "Is this a bit too offensive?"
"Otherwise, I'll talk to Wuhou and ask him to give up the harbor. Let's sit down and discuss if there's anything to do. If it's a big deal, I'll make up for it."
Why don't you sneer: "Patriarch Shi, who do you think Wuhou is? You made up for what he asked for? Why don't I advise everyone, this matter is not decided by my He family, this is the back. The Hundred Canal Clan!"
"Wuhou has a noble status and can withstand the pressure of this day. If you all stand together, you will be crushed in an instant!"
"I want to see who will come first!"
When the words of "Why Not" fell, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.
……
East Cang City.
The conference hall was still silent.
The family owners who can be assigned by the family to Dongcang City to open up branches are naturally not idiots. They know what it means to support the port.
To be honest, they don't want to go into this muddy water.
The world's rich and powerful family, who doesn't have many connections?
You said that there is no shipping, and Dongcangcheng is short of supplies?
Just kidding, no one in a wealthy family doesn't have a few storage treasures. The big deal is that if the family travels a few more times, maybe they can sell at a high price in Dongcang!
Besides, in this discussion hall, there is a branch of the Canal family!
It's best not to interfere in this kind of thing! The wind is strong and the waves are rushing, if you are flooded, you will not be able to handle it.
At the same time, several patriarchs who were close to the City Lord's Mansion also frowned slightly.
Could it be that Chen Wuhou is going to be planted this time?
Reckless! You should communicate privately first and find a few leaders!
Chen Wuhou is inexperienced. Qin Dangguo, you, with big eyebrows and big eyes, don't you have such thoughts?
Confused!
For a while, the owners in the hall bowed their heads and sipped tea, as if the tea in the Zhengshitang today was extraordinarily sweet.
Qin Dangguo took everyone's expressions into his eyes and sighed.
To win people's hearts, there is a long way to go!
Qin Dangguo coughed, cleared his throat, and continued: "Master Hou sent a letter, the total budget for the entire port will cost about 50 million taels of silver!"
"Among them, Dongcangcheng issued 20 million taels, and the remaining 30 million taels were divided into 3 million shares with 10 taels as one share! At present, the first batch of 1 million shares has been released temporarily. !"
"The city owner will set up a stone tablet on the harbour to engrave the clinker purchased by each family as proof!"
As soon as these words came out, all the Patriarchs shook their heads secretly.
Faint trick!
If you don't tell me, maybe some people will take it for granted and support it in private. After all, there is not much money.
But you actually want to be famous, which is a bit too much!
This time, I'm afraid there will be no harvest!
Qin Dangguo continued: "The City Lord's Mansion decrees that anyone who buys 1,500 shares will get 100 Dongcang City contribution points!"
The patriarchs suddenly raised their heads and looked at Qin Dangguo.
You must know that in today's Dongcang City, the most precious things are not gold and silver jewelry, but various points.
For example, contribution points, such as sword points, and martial arts credits that will appear in the future.
These are all linked to treasures.
For example, the current shops are all rented, do you want to buy them? Yes, as long as the contribution points meet the standard.
Another example is the house of a wealthy family, if you don't contribute points, you won't even be eligible to bid. For this reason, those families specially transferred the great scholars of their own families, went deep into Dayeling and killed an unknown number of third-rank savage beasts, and only then did they have their current family business.
A child who gets one or two points in the martial arts hall will earn more than his parents for a month of hard work.
Therefore, in Dongcang City, points are more important than money, and there is no other way to obtain them except for the task of the Zhengshitang.
This time, has the water been released? 15,000 taels of silver, 100 points, and 152.1 points, which is not expensive, it is simply a free gift!
A patriarch asked, "Qin Zhenshou, are you serious?"
Qin Dangguo nodded: "It will take effect now!"
The faces of the clan masters showed embarrassment, and they are not easy to fool. This is obviously to tie them to the same warship! This matter still needs to go back to study and judge!
At this time, Qin Dangguo said indifferently: "This matter, Dongcang City only notified it an hour in advance. After an hour, it will be spread all over the world through the Daxuan Minbao."
"In addition, each company can only purchase up to 30,000 shares. If you purchase within one hour, the rewarded contribution points will be doubled!"
"Start the timer now!"
After Qin Dangguo finished speaking, immediately the staff of the government affairs hall brought up a huge transparent crystal. The crystal was hollow and filled with water. The crystal was on top and a circular sink was below. At this time, the water in the crystal was running along the The small hole in the bottom of the crystal drips down.
This is a water leak. When the water in the crystal runs out, it is exactly an hour.
At this time, the drop of water fell into the sink, making a crisp sound, as if it fell into the hearts of every family owner.
"Everyone, don't blame me when the quota will be bought and sold by people from other states." Qin Dangguo sighed and said, "You are all people who came to Dongcang City to branch out, and this will be your foundation in the future! "
As soon as these words came out, in the crowd, Meng Shi Meng Jinghui suddenly slapped his thigh.
"My Meng family is not the Canal family!"
"Why don't you agree to such a good thing!"
"Qin Zhenshou, 30,000 shares, my Meng family wants it!"
As soon as Meng Jinghui said this, the other patriarchs subconsciously shouted, "A certain family also wants to!"
"That's right, my Zhang family is not in line with the canal, and the Zhang family wants 30,000 shares!"
"Qin Zhenshou, where is the contract? This old man will sign it..."
……
In a previous life, there was a saying called the silent majority.
Those who clamor all day do not represent all, even, they are the minority group.
The real power lies in the silent majority.
If one were to ask Daxuan how many clans there were, it would be difficult for anyone to give a specific number.
But there must be thousands of families.
And how many Canal families are there?
It is known as a hundred schools, but after removing the number of them, there are only thirty or forty schools.
Why are they the loudest?
Because the river transport came first~www.wuxiaspot.com~ They developed first, and the shipping family can't compare to them.
And the vast majority of the clan just kept silent and watched!
Chen Luo's purpose was to provoke a part of the silent majority.
In the study, Chen Luo looked at the sky through the window.
"Occupy the sky?"
"I want you to know what it means to be in the sky!"
"Add another fire!"
After Chen Luo thought about it, he picked up a pen and wrote—
"The sky is blue, the land of yellow flowers, the west wind is tight, and the north swallow flies to the south."
"Whoever dyes the frost and gets drunk in the morning is full of tears."
"It's hard for real men and women in the world to be confidants."
"May all lovers in the world be married at last."
"Reservation for the new drama "The Story of the West Chamber"."
"Everyone who buys 10,000 shares will get a premiere ticket."
"Invite three people to buy and get a free premiere ticket."
What is the trend of my gamer clan?
Watch me defeat magic with magic!
Chen Luo's first step, Duotian Shi!
