Chapter 360

Akayamaura was originally just a small deserted bay.

But now, it has changed to a new place. There are countless sailboats parked in the harbor. The sailors on the boat wash the decks, bask in the sun, and fish.

There are more people busy loading and unloading goods.

Chishanpu is now a bustling business town. Because of Li Xiao, a noble man from Chang'an, this place breaks the common situation where the market must be in the county town.

Chishanpu, which was originally a wasteland, now has a wharf, a warehouse, a street, a restaurant, and an inn. However, such a lively place does not even have a wall.

There are no yamen, officials, and soldiers here.

But here is a big nine-headed dragon flag floating in the wind.

This is Li Xiao’s private territory. This seaport has been bought by Li Xiao, and even the land ten miles of the surrounding coast belongs to Li Xiao.

At the beginning, the county magistrate thought Li Xiao was a little stupid and spent thousands of guan to buy such a large piece of wasteland.

But now the county magistrate who came to the wardrobe was really stunned. He never thought that in just a short time, the place would become so noisy and busy.

"There must be at least more than a hundred boats, right?" the county magistrate said to his friend Mu.

"More than that, there must be more than a hundred Everbright ships, not even those smaller ships. Nowadays, there are more than ten thousand people in Chishanpu every day, and there are endless vendors coming and going, and food and drink are a big number. Chishanpu itself does not produce these, and it all depends on transport from nearby and landing ports."

The food and drink cost of more than 10,000 people is not a decimal, and it is still being built here, so there are a lot of materials needed.

Chishanpu is now lively, and Wendeng County is full of lively. Many people come here to work. The nearby fishermen row boats to deliver fishing goods every day. They will be collected as much as they are. There is no need to worry about not being able to sell them, and even the prices have risen a lot. Now everyone is just worried that they cannot catch more fishing catches.

Those woodcutters who chop wood, charcoal charcoal maker, and those craftsmen can come here to make money during this slack season.

Just the more than 8,000 Goguryeo slaves have attracted countless people now.

Not to mention, the Chishanpu Shipyard, which is still under construction here, has also attracted countless attention. It is said that the shipyard is just under construction, but it has recruited thousands of craftsmen from the entire Lingnan Jiangdao road in Huainan, Henan, Henan, and the new shipyard has already obtained orders for more than 100 large sea boats before it has been put into production.

From this point of view, even if the more than 8,000 slaves were sold, the place would not be deserted.

A huge shipyard with thousands of craftsmen, and then with their families, a real city of thousands will be formed here.

In addition to the newly opened direct routes of Akayama - Goguryeo, Baekje, Silla, and Japan, the future here is unlimited and will never be deserted anymore.

The county magistrate now regrets it.

No matter how you look at it, Chishanpu is a treasure land, priceless.

"Why did you agree to sell it at the beginning? It's so cheap."

The staff reminded his boss a little rudely, "This place is a desolate place, not worth a penny. There are many places like Wendeng County. Now it is valuable because it is in Li Xiao's hands."

What is really valuable is not the place Chishanpu, but the changes brought about by Li Xiao.

Li Xiao opened this new route, Li Xiao brought thousands of slaves, and Li Xiao made such a big noise, attracting merchants from all walks of life to attend the auction. It was also Li Xiao who built a new town and a new shipyard here.

Without Li Xiao, Chishanpu would be just desolate.

"Why didn't Lixianzi build a shipyard to our county town, and why didn't he build these shops to the county town?"

If you build it into a county town, you can earn municipal taxes. If you build it into a county town, there will be many benefits in the future.

"Dongweng, Li County is a celebrity in front of the emperor. I advise Dongweng not to have other ideas that should not have." The staff reminded him that Li Xiao is a person who can mess up the Chang'an waters and destroy the family of Wang Liu and Cui. You are a small county magistrate. Although you are also from a gentry, you are just an official from the Mingjing Department who is from a little gentry.

The county magistrate who had some ideas was immediately lost.

I don’t want to enter that busy and noisy place anymore, “Go back to the county town.”

Akayamaura.

Li Xiao has officially named this place Chishan Port. He has great ambitions and intends to build this port into the second largest port in the north and become a trading port next to Dengzhou.

In front of a small brand new building, there is a sign of the Andong Road Management Pacifier's Office in Chishanpu.

The front hall of the courtyard is full of people.

Li Xiao invited representatives from various families who came to Chishanpu to gather together today. In the center of the hall, dozens of craftsmen spent many days to make a large sand table according to Li Xiao's drawings and requirements.

Above is a strange and brand new Chishan Port, a busy trading city built by the port. The city has three layers, Luocheng, inner city, and Yacheng.

Yacheng is the office, and now it is only Li Xiao’s private territory, but Li Xiao knows that when the place develops further, the court will definitely not indulge in ignorance. Maybe a military town will be established here, or even the county government will be moved here.

At that time, the garrisons or county governments, county schools and other places will be located in Yacheng.

And the inner city will be a residential area. As for Luocheng, it will be a warehouse or a commercial area.

The shipyard is built on the port, the dock is located in Puli, Chishan, and the wharf is Liantou Harbor and Liantou Warehouse Area, which is transit goods and business travel.

The plan is neatly planned and the layout is reasonable.

But such a big plan requires a lot of money. At present, Li Xiao no longer has the money to invest here again. And even if there is, he doesn't plan to invest alone.

"I'm inviting you to come here, just to invite everyone to cooperate and win-win. On this sand table is the future Chishan Port, the second largest port in the north of Datang, second only to Dengzhou Port. In the future, it will become the fastest and largest transit port in Datang and Andong Road, and will also become a prosperous trading port in the north."

"I have always like to make friends. If you have money, everyone will make money together. If you share the benefits together."

Li Xiao pointed to the sand table, "Which land and which project you like can bid for, and the one with the strongest and best conditions will be won."

Li Xiao made a sand table and planned it. If you want to come in and play together, then you can pay and work.

"This street is good, my Xingyang Zheng family has a purchase." A illegitimate child from the Zheng family in Xingyang, Henan waved heroically. "Let's get a price."

Li Xiao said happily, "The Zheng family in Xingyang is indeed worthy of being a family of five surnames, and it is very heroic. This street is definitely a prime location. The Zheng family is interested, so I welcome it. But for fairness, other families have to bid, and in the end we will get the ones with the highest price."

"The other thing is that the winner must build according to the planned construction of the sand table, and must not change it privately, nor do other ways."

The Zheng son smiled and said, "Of course, what we are interested in is the future development potential of Chishanpu. With the Andong Road direct route and the shipyard, we believe that this place will have a promising future. Li Countyzi's plan is also very good and is doing very well. If our Zheng family takes this street, it will definitely be built into a commercial street according to the plan."

"That's good. After the completion, will you sell or rent this shop? This is your own business, and I will not interfere with it." Li Xiao was very satisfied with such a superior partner.

"Is anyone else bid?"

Zheng's son glanced at everyone, and everyone was very proud of their face. Anyway, the new Chishan Port project was very big, and everyone had goals, so they didn't have to compete with the Zheng family.

Finally, Zheng offered a good offer.

Li Xiao was satisfied with the price, but he was not very satisfied with the situation. He glanced at the crowd a few times, and then someone came out to compete for the offer. The offer was not high, but at least there was competition.

The Zheng family is determined to win this street, and no matter who offers a price, he will immediately increase the price.

So after three rounds, no one fought with him anymore.

Zheng's son asked happily, "Who else?"

Li Xiao also asked three times, then clapped his hands, "Congratulations to the Zheng family for taking this Golden Street."

The Zheng family spent thousands of stagnant money to obtain the construction rights of a street and have ownership of it, but the street is still just a wasteland now. Everything has to be built by the Zheng family itself, and it has to be built according to Li Xiao's plan.

Li Xiao was just a drawing and a sand table, and then with a stroke on it, he had already recorded thousands of chunks of money. As for the fact that after this street was built, Chishan Port would become really busy in the future, and whether the street would be more valuable, Li Xiao didn't care.

If you have money, it’s not just sharing.

To attract more partners is actually a kind of sharing of resources. The Zheng family has enough financial resources and influence, so they can quickly build this commercial street.

After many powerful partners came in, the desolate Chishanpu became a brand new Chishan Port City and would no longer be just on the drawings.

A real Chishan Port is undoubtedly more valuable than a desolate Chishan Port. Although Li Xiao has now sold the entire Chishan Port in sections, in fact, the entire Chishan Port is still under his name in the end.

He is the master of the entire Chishan Port.

With a single plan of sand table, Li Xiao can earn tens of thousands of yuan. After all the companies complete the projects in the future, after the entire Chishan Port is completed, Chishan Port will be more valuable. Then, Li Xiao, who owns Chishanpu Port and has ten miles of land along the entire harbor, will naturally increase the land in his hands.

The more than a thousand guan is, the less than a thousand guan is. This little money is really nothing to those famous families, honorary officials, and great merchants. But after accumulating a lot, Li Xiao has already earned tens of thousands of guans.

"Sanlang, I sold more than 138,000 guan today." Zhao Chiman said excitedly. Unexpectedly, Li Xiao scored more than 130,000 guan in a flash of money in a wasteland. These lands were only a small part of what Li Xiao bought at the beginning, and it only cost 3,000 guan to buy them all.

"Leave a fraction, and give the remaining 100,000 yuan to your Majesty." Li Xiao said calmly.

One hundred thousand coins, this was a huge fortune, but he decided to give it to the emperor without blinking.

"Give another 20,000 yuan to give it to Concubine Wu Chen."

Zhao Chiman was shocked.

"Are you using it for so much?"

"Money is just a bastard, you will earn it after you use it. Remember, this money is for Your Majesty and Concubine Chen, not for the court." Li Xiao gave a special explanation.

More than 138,000 guan and more than 120,000 guan can be left.

If you are willing to give up, you will gain only if you give up.

If Li Xiao really swallowed all of this money into his stomach, he would probably not be able to digest it. At that time, those jealous people would probably rise up. But if Li Zhi and Wu took the lead, then the emperor would definitely have to protect him.
