I Use Idle Books To Become Saint

Chen Luo looked at the clan record sent by Princess Pingyang, and circled it with a pen.

"The Leyacheng clan has a total of sixteen families, and nine of them are currently ruled by Confucianism. He, Lu, and Shi are the leaders."

"The He family, the most staunch supporter of the Canal faction, why don't you say anything about the head of the family, my mother is a dragon girl, second rank Cultivation Base. After becoming the head of the family, she expanded wildly, and now she is the head of the Leyacheng clan..."

"The Lu family, the local old family in Leya City, the head of the family, Lu Changle, has established a family here since Leya was still in Changle. It has the highest prestige among the small and medium clans, and sits in the second rank Cultivation Base of Great Confucianism..."

"The Shi family originally belonged to the Qingbocheng family in Lanzhou, and moved to Leya a Jiazi ago. The head of the family, Shi En, sits in the second rank Cultivation Base of the Great Confucianism..."

"The Liu family..."

"The Deng family..."

"The Wu family..."

...

The clan chronicles are very detailed, not only recording the specific situation of each family, but also introducing the behavior of some patriarchs. After Chen Luo read the clan chronicles, he has a general understanding of Leya City in his heart.

Walking from the study to the main hall, I saw Xiang Jixuan and Yang Qianli communicating with those master craftsmen. When Chen Luo went to meet Princess Pingyang, these master craftsmen began to check the market conditions in Leya City, and they seemed to have just returned.

Seeing Chen Luo, everyone saluted, and Chen Luo asked: "Several master craftsmen, have the budget been made?"

One of the master craftsmen cupped hands and said: "Master Hou, I have a general understanding. According to the price and labor of Leya City, it will take about two million taels of silver to repair the port to the extent that it can be put into use; but if To renovate the harbor and surrounding auxiliary facilities, about 2,000 people will be employed and 13 million taels will be invested.”

"Considering the demand in a short period of time, it may increase by 20%."

Chen Luo nodded: "Well, the seaport is the lifeline of Dongcang's future. Don't worry about it. If the scale is larger, let's make a plan according to the budget of 20 million taels. Thank you for coming up with a plan first, we are very happy It will start work soon."

All the master craftsmen nodded, saluted again, left the main hall, and went to their respective jobs. At this time, only Xiang Jixuan and Yang Qianli were left in the main hall, and they looked at Chen Luo suspiciously.

"Lord Hou..." Yang Qianli hesitated for a moment, and said, "The silver is not a problem. The land transactions in the city these few days alone have more than this income, but how do the local wealthy families deal with it?"

Chen Luo smiled faintly, 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 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 decisive victory mentioned by Master Hou in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are universally applicable. .”

"The right time, the right place, and the harmony of people."

"Forgive me, the Cangwu Sea Transport was abandoned back then, and the canal giants are now big and deeply rooted, occupying the sky; Leya City was originally my guest place, even if I didn't lack money, but if the local giants teamed up and 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 have little feeling for the gains from sea transportation, and we have lost our harmony."

"The timing, location, and harmony are all out of my hands. The old man feels that this matter still needs a long-term plan. Why don't you go back and tell Zhenshou Qin the ins and outs of this matter, so that the government affairs hall can come up with a new solution."

"As for the current transportation difficulties in Dongcang City, the old man thought that it would be better for us old bones to make a few more trips, and we would be able to handle a sea transportation."

Chen Luo got up and bowed to Xiang Jixuan when he heard the words, and said, "Mr. Xiang has a heart. But Luo is willing to give it a try, and ask Mr. Xiang to help."

Xiang Jixuan raised his brows, and hurriedly replied: "Dare not to obey orders!"

Chen Luo nodded and said to Yang Qianli: "Mr. Yang, you are a local from Leya City. Can you find some well-informed people to 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 all kinds of news channels, such people are easy to find."

"That's easy." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Yang, please let me know that Dongcang is going to build a pier first. The materials and labor required can be contacted, but the price is not paid. Don't spend a penny!"

"Mr. Xiang, it's hard work for you to go to the port and unleash the coercion of the 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 took the orders with cupped hands and left the main hall.

Chen Luo sat on the main seat, took out the drink that Luo Hongnu made for himself from the storage order, took a sip, went through the own plan again in his mind, and said with a smile in his heart: "rich? Besides Zhongjing, which one How many wealthy families are there in the city like my Dongcang?"

"Master Qin should be busy now!"

...

Dongcang City, Political Affairs Hall.

In the meeting hall that was just built, 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 in his heart.

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, went up, and saluted everyone: "Old man Qin Dangguo, send your greetings to all the Patriarchs."

Everyone stood up to return the salute, and said in unison: "I have seen Qin Zhenshou!"

Qin Dangguo motioned for everyone to sit down, and said, "This post invites you to come here for one thing."

"Dongcang City is an isolated city. The Lord of the city wants to open the seaport and connect with Leya City. This matter requires your support."

As soon as Qin Dangguo's words fell, the entire meeting hall fell silent for an instant.

...

Leya City, the He family.

More than a dozen patriarchs sat in the main hall, whispering to each other. After a while, the burly Patriarch of the He family, Shi Shiran, came out, laughing.

"What kind of wind brought you all here to this old man? This old man has never taken concubines today..."

Shi En, the head of the Shi family, said anxiously: "Brother He, don't you know? The Marquis Chen Wu of Dongcang City is planning to build a harbor in Leya City!"

"Yes." Another patriarch echoed, "Although it is said that it is only going to and from Leya and Dongcang at present, but there is a seaport, it will inevitably give birth to more ambitions."

"Yes, I paid a lot for the port before I destroyed it!"

Why don't you say that after drinking the tea served by a pretty maid, and listening to the discussion of many patriarchs, looking at Lu Changle who had been silent all this time, he asked, "Brother Lu, why didn't you say anything?"

Lu Changle said indifferently: "I think Brother He is confident, so why panic?"

Why don't you just smile heartily again, then put down the teacup, and glanced at the people in the hall: "Everyone, I have already heard the news, everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient."

"He can't repair this harbor!"

"Even if Marquis Wu is a child of Saint, so what? Don't forget, there are nearly a hundred Canal families standing behind me!"

"Let's join hands to lock up manpower and supplies. The materials he wants will not be distributed! What will he use to repair them?"

"Do you want to invite Bamboo Sage to come here in person to display the supernatural 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 board the ship then?"

"The general trend is with me!"

"It's up to him what Marquis Wu wants to do in Dongcang City, but it's not his turn to decide this Leya City!"

Shi En frowned slightly: "Is this move too offensive?"

"Otherwise, I'll communicate with Marquis Wu and ask him to give up the harbor. Let's sit down and discuss things, and I'll make up for it if it's a big deal."

Why don't you sneer: "Patriarch Shi, who do you think Marquis Wu is? You made up for what he asked for? Why don't I advise you, this matter is not decided by my He family. Family of Hundred Canals!"

"Marquis Wu has a noble status and can bear the pressure of the day. If you stand together, you will be crushed in an instant!"

"I want to see who will come out first!"

The voice of why not mean it fell, and everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Dongcang City.

The conference hall was still silent.

The Patriarchs who can be assigned to Dongcang City by the family 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 wade into this muddy water.

A wealthy family in the world, who doesn't have a few connections.

You said that there is no sea transportation, and Dongcang City is short of supplies?

Just kidding, who in the wealthy family doesn't have a few storage treasures. At worst, if the family members go a few more times, maybe they can sell it at a high price in Dongcang!

Besides, in this meeting hall, there is a branch of the Canal family!

It's best not to interfere with this kind of thing! The wind is rough, and it will be difficult to handle if you are drowned.

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! We should communicate privately first and find some leaders to come out!

Chen Wuhou has no experience, Qin Dangguo, you thick eyebrows and big eyes, don't you have such thoughts?

Confused!

All of a sudden, the owners in the hall bowed their heads and sipped their tea, as if the tea in the Zhengshitang was extraordinarily sweet today.

Qin Dangguo took everyone's expressions into his eyes and sighed.

To win people's hearts, the road is long and long!

Qin Dangguo coughed, cleared his throat, and continued, "Master Hou sent a message that the total budget of the entire port needs about 50 million taels of silver!"

"Among them, Dongcang City issued 20 million taels, and the remaining 30 million taels will be divided into three million shares with ten taels as one share! At present, the first batch of one million shares will be temporarily released. !"

"The city lord will erect a stone tablet on the harbor to engrave the clinker purchased by each family as a proof!"

As soon as this remark came out, the Patriarchs shook their heads secretly.

Stupid move!

If you don't tell me, maybe some people will look at Face and support some in private, after all, there is not much money.

But you actually want a famous stone on it, this is a bit too much!

This time, I'm afraid there will be nothing to discuss!

Qin Dangguo continued: "The city lord's order, whoever buys 1,500 shares, can get 100 East Cangcheng contribution points!"

The Patriarchs suddenly raised their heads and looked at Qin Dangguo.

You must know that the most precious thing in Dongcang City today is not gold, silver and jewelry, but various points.

For example, contribution points, such as Discourse on Sword points, and martial arts credits that will appear in the future.

These are all linked to precious treasures.

For example, the current shops are all leased, want to buy? Yes, as long as the contribution points reach the standard.

Another example is the house of a wealthy family. Without contribution points, they are not even eligible to bid. Just for this, those families specially called in their own great Confucianism, went deep into Daye Ridge and killed an unknown number of third rank savage blood beasts, and only then did they have their current family business.

A child who gets a reward of one or two points in the martial arts hall earns more than his parents for a month of hard work.

Therefore, in Dongcang City, points are much more important than money, and there is no other way to obtain them except for the tasks of the Zhengshitang.

This time, is there a lot of water? Fifteen thousand taels of silver and one hundred points, one hundred and fifty taels of one point, it is not expensive, it is simply a free gift!

A patriarch asked: "Qin Zhenshou, is it true?"

Qin Dangguo nodded: "It will take effect at this time!"

The faces of the Patriarchs showed embarrassment, they are not easy to fool, this is clearly to tie them to the same warship! This matter still needs to go back and study it carefully!

At this time, Qin Dangguo said calmly: "Dong Cang City only notified this matter one hour in advance. After one hour, it will be spread all over the world through the Daxuan Minbao."

"In addition, each company can only purchase a maximum of 30,000 shares. If you purchase within an hour, the rewarded contribution points will be doubled!"

"Now start the timer!"

After Qin Dangguo finished speaking, the staff of the Government Affairs Hall immediately brought up a huge transparent crystal. The crystal was hollow and filled with water. The crystal was on top and below was a circular sink. The small hole in the bottom of the crystal drips down.

This is a water leak, and when the water in the crystal runs out, exactly one hour.

At this time, the drops of water fell into the sink, making a crisp sound, as if falling on the hearts of every family head.

"Everyone, don't blame me for the quota being bought and sold by people from other states." Qin Dangguo sighed leisurely, and said, "You are all people who came to Dongcang City to separate your family, and this will be your foundation in the future! "

As soon as this remark came out, Meng Jinghui suddenly slapped his thigh in the crowd.

"My Meng family is not the Canal family!"

"Why didn'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 wants it too!"

"That's right, my Zhang family has no connection with the canal, and the Zhang family wants 30,000 shares!"

"Qin Zhenshou, where is the contract? The old man will sign it now..."

...

There was a saying in the previous life called the silent majority.

Those who clamor all day do not represent all, and even they are the minority group of people.

The real power lies in the silent majority.

If one were to ask how many clans Daxuan had, it would be difficult for someone 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 them to make up the number, there are only thirty or forty schools.

Why are they the loudest?

Because the river transport was the first, they developed first, and the shipping family was no match for them.

And the vast majority of the families are just cold-eyed and silent, watching from the sidelines!

Chen Luo's purpose is to provoke a part of this silent majority.

In the study, Chen Luo looked at the sky through the window.

"Occupy the time?"

"I want you to know what it means to know what is beyond the sky!"

"Add another fire!"

After Chen Luo thought about it, he took up a pen and wrote——

"The blue sky, the yellow flowers, the westerly wind is tight, and the northern swallows fly south."

"Whoever is stained with frost and drunk in the forest at dawn will be full of tears."

"It's hard for real men and women to be confidants in the world."

"May lovers in the world finally get married."

"Appointment for the new drama "Romance of the West Chamber"."

"Where you buy 10,000 shares, you will get a premiere ticket."

"Invite three people to buy, and get a free premiere ticket."

Follow me, the trend of the player clan?

Watch me beat magic with magic!

Chen Luo's first step is to win the sky!
