Take the earth to enshrine the gods

Chapter 135

Sure enough, Guo Jia still wanted to make a fuss about the secret road in the mountain, and formulated a series of battle plans around the secret road, some of which were about to be implemented now.

"Then execute according to the plan." Qian Yuan made a prompt decision.

"promise!"

Guo Jia is very grateful for His Highness's trust, after all, this plan is risky.

…………

In the next month, Qingqiu Mansion was full of excitement.

The reform of the county government, the selection and examination of officials, the migration of mountain people, the recruitment of monks, the formation of wolf cavalry, the planning of new districts, technology sharing and investment attraction
The new policies issued by the feudal palace completely ignited the passion of the people.

It was winter, when the common people were at their leisure. Gongcao took the opportunity to throw out a "package of engineering solutions". The feudal prince's mansion cooperated with the seven major county governments, and ambitiously proposed that the three major projects should be completed before next year's spring sowing.

One is the road.

Not only the main roads from Qingqiu Mansion to the counties are all built into cement roads, but also all the roads between the county towns are also built into cement roads, which is a major upgrade to the fiefdom roads.

The second is water conservancy.

Drawing on the experience of water control in Yize County, the three major rivers in the territory were dredged, the river channels were widened, dams were built, and water canals were built, so as to make preparations for the comprehensive promotion of potatoes and Kyushu No. [-] rice next year.

The third is the new city.

Complete the construction of road paving, drinking water wells and other supporting facilities in Donglin New District to create the best infrastructure environment for the chamber of commerce to settle in and completely solve the worries of the chamber of commerce.

The Hucao Commercial Division also took advantage of the opportunity to announce the first batch of technology sharing catalogs in Donglin New District, including glass manufacturing technology, spirit distillation technology, soap manufacturing technology, and loom manufacturing technology.

The unprecedented attention paid by the feudal prince's mansion to the Donglin New Area finally aroused the enthusiasm of the businessmen.

The Zhao Chamber of Commerce was the first to respond, planning to invest in the construction of a glass factory and a winery in Donglin New District, with a total investment of more than 50 taels of silver.

Kunwu Chamber of Commerce is the first chamber of commerce to respond externally.

Princess Qingcheng has coveted the technology in Qianyuan's hands for a long time. When she got the news, she threw millions of taels of silver at one go, aiming at the textile industry and preparing to further cultivate the fields of cheongsam and underwear.

It has to be said that Princess Qingcheng has a unique vision.

After the Kunwu Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce in Zhaoyao City finally took action. The Zhaoyao Chamber of Commerce, Qin Chamber of Commerce, and Daze Chamber of Commerce set up branches in Qingqiu Prefecture one after another, and then used the branches to operate projects in Donglin New District.

There is one factor that has to be mentioned, and that is the starry sky grocery store that officially opened in the city of Swagger. The popularity of the opening has deeply stimulated these chambers of commerce, and it has a sense of crisis.

Among them, the most difficult to copy are the strange new products in the starry sky grocery store.

I heard that Qingqiu Mansion has set up a new area to the east to share commercial technology, as well as taxation, land and other preferential policies. These chambers of commerce swarmed in like wild cats smelling fishy.

Most of these chambers of commerce in Swing City are old-fashioned chambers of commerce. So far, they have basically encountered bottlenecks and ceilings. If there is no new technology innovation, it will be difficult to make further progress.

The emergence of Donglin New District is a perfect opportunity.

More importantly, these chambers of commerce felt the full sincerity of the Qingqiu Mansion. Looking at the entire empire, if a chamber of commerce wanted to open up new markets, who would not be made things difficult by the local yamen and spend money to manage it?
Qingqiu Mansion is good, not only does not like this, but also wholeheartedly solves problems for the chamber of commerce.

Where can such a good thing be found?
As the news spread, not only the city of Zhaoyao, but even the big chambers of commerce in other prefectures of Zhaoyao County were also moved by the news, either directly setting up branches in Qingqiu Mansion, or sending people to investigate.

Adjacent to the new area in the east, it suddenly became the busiest place in Swagger City.

This is great, but it also creates some troubles.

One is that the commercial department and investment promotion department under Hucao are obviously insufficiently prepared. Whether it is the reception capacity or the follow-up contact ability, they cannot meet the needs of the influx of chambers of commerce, and some unpleasant things have happened.

The second is that with the implementation of a large number of factory construction plans, various shortages have emerged.

First of all, there is a shortage of construction workers and building materials. The major chambers of commerce originally wanted to entrust Gongcao's construction team to build factories, but Gongcao is too busy to build the infrastructure of the new district, so there is no such effort.

In addition to construction workers and building materials, the cement factory in Nancheng District has been built, but the bricks used for masonry are obviously insufficient, which delays the construction progress.

After that, there is a serious shortage of workers.

The factory had just started construction, and the major chambers of commerce had the foresight to start recruiting workers in the city and conduct preliminary training. Many skilled workers from the Starry Sky Chamber of Commerce were poached by the major chambers of commerce at high prices.

But Dagan is still in an agricultural society, and Qingqiu Mansion is no exception. It is almost impossible to recruit tens of thousands of workers at once.

If you recruit people from other places, you will face the problem of being unable to leave your homeland, which will also involve the flow of people inside and outside the fief, making things even more difficult.

All these are reported to Qianyuan.

Qianyuan realized that he must hurry up to solve these problems, otherwise the development of Donglin New District would be restricted, so he summoned Cao Rui, the householder Cao Rui, and Sun Chong, the director of the engineering Cao, in the study.

Cao Rui and Changsun Chong are the main people responsible for the construction of Donglin New Area.

After Changsun Chong was released from work, he did not specifically take charge of any department. Instead, as an assistant to Li Zhong, the doctor of the work, he was mainly responsible for the construction of the Donglin New District, which gave Changsun Chong a platform to play freely.

So far, Changsun Chong has done well.

As soon as he came up, Cao Rui announced the good news and said excitedly: "His Royal Highness, currently eight chambers of commerce have confirmed to invest and build factories in Donglin New District, with a total investment of 350 million taels of silver. There are also five merchants that are in contact."

Beforehand, Cao Rui never imagined that these chambers of commerce would be so crazy. With the injection of these funds, within a year, the Donglin New District would transform from a wasteland into a light industrial zone that had begun to take shape.

It's nothing short of a miracle.

And Qian Yuan is the man who holds the miracle hand.

Cao Rui is completely convinced, and his whole body is full of energy. Let alone other things, if the Donglin New District can rise strongly under his leadership, it will be enough to be included in the local chronicles.

As a native of Qingqiu, it is enough to honor the ancestors.

Qian Yuan was not very excited, and said lightly: "How does Hu Cao plan to solve the problem of difficult recruitment?"

Cao Rui's heart was stagnant, and he woke up from the excitement in an instant. He immediately realized that His Highness's summoning was unusual, and said cautiously: "Hu Cao is actively mobilizing idlers in the city, assisting the chamber of commerce to recruit workers, and at the same time preparing to negotiate with the mountain people. Let’s see if we can arrange for some mountain people to turn into workers.”

"Is that all?" Qian Yuan was a little disappointed.

"Yes."

Cao Rui's palms were already sweating.

Qian Yuan said indifferently: "These are conventional methods, and it will take a long time. I'm afraid it won't work?"

"Your Majesty is stupid, please punish me!"

With a slap, Cao Rui fell to his knees and apologized directly. He could feel His Highness's anger.

"Get up!"

Qian Yuan was expressionless. Donglin New Area was a new thing after all, and he didn't want to be too harsh on Cao Rui, but necessary beatings were necessary, lest Cao Rui get too excited and get carried away.

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

Cao Rui quietly wiped away the cold sweat.

When the eldest grandson Chong saw him, he was really shocked. Only then did he intuitively feel that the king of Qin, who had no sense of existence in the gods, had already transformed into a majestic vassal king.

No wonder his father repeatedly told him not to cock his tail before leaving.

Qian Yuan looked at Cao Rui, and said directly: "After going down, Hu Cao should do two things as soon as possible."

"Your Highness, please speak."

"The first thing is to immediately set up a vocational training center in Donglin New District, hire skilled workers as masters, train workers for major chambers of commerce for free, and end the current chaotic recruitment situation." Qian Yuan threw out the method of the earth.

"Your Highness is wise!"

Cao Rui knew it all, and knew that this method was feasible.

Qianyuan continued: "The second thing is to tell the major chambers of commerce that the feudal prince's palace encourages them to recruit half-demon as workers. Do you understand?"

Half-demons are not restricted by population flow, Qian Yuan just wanted to use the power of the major chambers of commerce to gather other half-demons in Zhaoyao County into the fief.

Merchants value profits, and they are also the group that looks down on racial differences the most. Some chambers of commerce are already hiring half-demons in private. As long as the feudal palace expresses its position, these chambers of commerce will definitely take notice of the shortage of workers.

The problem of shortage of workers can really be solved.

It is almost unrealistic to turn farmers or handicraftsmen into workers at the Agricultural Chamber of Commerce, and Qianyuan can only find another way.

"Your Majesty understands, Your Highness is wise!"

Except for this sentence, Cao Rui didn't know what to say. The seemingly impossible problem was solved by His Highness in twos and twos. Apart from being convinced, what else could he say? !
"Now that you understand, let's get things done. I don't want any more scandals where the merchants' subordinates ask for bribes from the chamber of commerce. Do you understand?"

Although the subordinate official had been dismissed by Li Cao, Qian Yuan was still angry.

"Your Majesty understands that after I go down, I will personally supervise this matter, and I will definitely live up to His Highness's entrustment." Cao Rui was dripping with cold sweat, without any trace of pride, and his face was full of shame, which was already a reprimand.

While feeling ashamed and inexplicably angry, Cao Rui was also suffocating in his heart. After returning home, he must rectify Hu Cao, so as not to lose face in front of His Highness.

Otherwise, he would be ashamed to stay in the position of Mr. Hu Cao.

Shame.
