Dragon's Origin

Chapter 620: High-minded (Part 2)

"You bunch of brats, take a good look, learn well. If you could mobilize the army as efficiently as Li Zhen Fang(利贞坊: Li Zhen Fang - name of the business), it would save me a lot of trouble!" While Mei'er was confidently directing things, inside the palace, Chief Steward Li was also lecturing a group of palace commanders.

The same scene was happening at the Tang family's guild hall, the Xia family's guild hall, the Song family's guild hall... Almost every family had similar sentiments, and at the same time, each family sent a large number of people to observe, and even sent people directly to join the construction team to experience Mei'er's commanding charm up close.

Ever since Mei'er obtained the written pledges from the lords of various vassal states, she had boasted to everyone, telling them to take a good look at how to make big money from things that everyone thought were not profitable.

As a result, all parties began to pay attention to Mei'er's movements. Everyone knew that Mei'er was definitely not exaggerating about making money, so they all wanted to see what this classic business strategy that Mei'er said could teach them a lesson was.

The large-scale demolition right from the start left Li Zhen Fang(利贞坊: Li Zhen Fang - name of the business) dumbfounded. And using Worry-Free City(无忧城: Worry-Free City - name of the organization) assassins to do this kind of thing? Wasn't that like using a cannon to kill a mosquito?

"No, they are actually using our reputation to force those capital residents to move." Someone quickly noticed the clue and hurriedly reported: "We can't let them ruin our reputation."

"Give it a rest!" Naturally, a companion immediately ridiculed: "Even if they don't use this reputation, is our reputation any better?"

Could the reputation of the various lords in the capital be good? If it could really be good, it is estimated that the heads of the capital's officialdom would have to collectively step down. In the capital, only the royal family's reputation can be good. At most, under the royal family, there are a few virtuous ministers. As for others, what do you need such a good reputation for?

Mei'er is an exception. Mei'er's Li Zhen Fang(利贞坊: Li Zhen Fang - name of the business) needs a good reputation to do business and make money. Mei'er had already told the emperor and empress about this and explained the mystery. In particular, Wang Sheng's sentence "In the business world, a good reputation can be eaten as food." made the emperor nod frequently.

So, right under the noses of the representatives of the various lords, Mei'er swaggered and openly used their bad reputation to force the residents of the capital to move, and it was surprisingly smooth.

If using Worry-Free City(无忧城: Worry-Free City - name of the organization) assassins to force ordinary people to sell their houses and land didn't seem so clever, then the construction outside the city was really amazing.

From the transportation of materials to the planning of the project, from leveling the site and building roads and bridges to the rapid construction of courtyards, the cooperation of tens of thousands of people resulted in not even a single accident on average in a month.

If it must be said that everyone is a cultivator, so they are not easily injured, then building a batch of neat courtyards in a few days is completely beyond everyone's imagination. Everyone had never thought that the collaboration of so many people, from the initial leveling to construction to house decoration and furniture making, a series of things would be in good order.

If it were a dozen people, dozens of people, or even hundreds of people doing this, it wouldn't be anything, and no one would think it was so great. But when the number exceeds tens of thousands and is distributed in thousands of acres of land, and they can still do things in such an orderly manner without any confusion, then it is a great knowledge.

Back then, just the logistics of Run Zi Fang(润姿坊: Run Zi Fang - name of the business), from the transportation of raw materials to finished products, and the need to prevent people from figuring out the details, Mei'er pestered Wang Sheng and asked for advice for many days before Wang Sheng explained to Mei'er some of the logistics management of the army and local enterprises. After several years of efforts, Mei'er cultivated such a skilled logistics team.

Everyone couldn't see it in a day or two, but after a month, even the most stupid person understood the brilliance of others. Tens of thousands of people are working at the same time. To put it bluntly, just organizing the eating, drinking, and shitting in an orderly manner is a skill, but people are doing serious work without missing anything, and the quality of the built courtyards is top-notch.

In the words of those relocated people, not to mention the compensation of gold coins at the market price, just exchanging the old and dilapidated houses in the city for such a single-family courtyard house is already a big profit. The new house is fully furnished, and you can live comfortably as long as you move things over. The surrounding shops and facilities are also built completely, but it is more convenient than before in the city.

Having a good reputation and a well-managed team is really enviable. Especially the tens of thousands of people in the construction team, all of them are experts in the second, third, and fourth levels of the realm. So many people moving their hands is simply like using their arms and fingers. If they were not used to build houses and courtyards, but to fight, they would obviously be tens of thousands of elite soldiers! Moreover, according to the construction team's division, they are clearly military brigades, so clever that it makes people feel fear.

At this time, all parties only saw Li Zhen Fang(利贞坊: Li Zhen Fang - name of the business) scattering gold coins, but had not yet seen the income. They had not yet learned the means of making money, but the organization and management of this huge team and the scheduling and arrangement of the entire project were indeed admirable.

Just looking at it is pleasing to the eye, but how exactly they did it, all parties are confused. Perhaps, if they want to know, they have to feel it up close, or personally ask Mei'er for advice.

The major lords can have such great power now, and they are definitely not able to do it by being undeservedly famous and arrogant. Seeing this situation, almost all forces expressed to Mei'er that they wanted to send people to join the construction team to learn. Mei'er nodded and agreed without saying anything. As long as they pay gold coins, they can be a big worker if they want to be a big worker, a small worker if they want to be a small worker, a carpenter if they want to be a carpenter, a bricklayer if they want to be a bricklayer, and even a foreman if they want to be a foreman, as long as they pay enough gold coins.

Others work to earn money, but when it comes to their side, they have to pay to work. Where can they reason? All parties felt as awkward as swallowing a dead mouse, but there was no way. In order to learn other people's skills, they could only hold their noses and accept it. Mei'er was not polite about this, and asked for 10,000 gold coins per person, and they could go in for as long as they wanted.

Dozens of large and small lords sent thousands of people into various teams to study one after another. Just from this item, Mei'er made a net profit of more than 10 million gold coins. Not only did she make money, but there were also more than a thousand people working for her for free. This business was really ingenious to the extreme.

When the mansions began to be built along the inner city moat in the inner and outer cities, all parties didn't think anything, but after another month, when the mansions were completed and Mei'er started to sell them, all parties really saw Mei'er's means of making money by turning her hands into clouds and covering her hands into rain.

The inner city waterfront mansions, which were originally on the city wall and didn't cost anything, made all parties stunned when the price came out. The price was a hundred times the price they bought the land for. But the problem is, even so, it is still in short supply.
