Chapter 284: Reusing Liu Bang
Shimenshan Economic Development Zone occupies a radius of 300 miles. It is not a city, but more like a large village with a fence. The entire Shimen Economic Development Zone is divided into five areas: middle, south, west, north and east. These five areas each occupy a radius of 60 miles.
The easternmost area is the station of the Shenwu Army. With the Shenwu Army stationed here, the security issues of the Shimenshan Economic Development Zone are naturally unquestionable. The area in the middle is a trade zone, which is very simple. It is a large free trade market with a radius of ten miles and three thousand shops built around the trade market. The south is the scientific research zone, which will become the scientific research base of Daqin. The north is the factory area, where Li Chen will create a new factory here and increase the output of various items that are conducive to the development of Daqin. The south is the residential area. In addition to some of the people who live in the Shimenshan Economic Development Zone, this residential area will be used to receive merchants coming to trade.
The walls of Shimenshan Economic Development Zone are made of reinforced concrete structures. The roads in the economic development zone are also covered with blue-gray cement roads. Drainage ditches are also poured on both sides of the road. In this way, even if it rains heavily, rainwater will not be discharged in the economic development zone. Of course, the houses in Shimenshan Economic Development Zone are still blue brick houses. Although Li Chen also wants to use reinforced concrete to pour houses, he does not know all kinds of mechanical knowledge. I think it is safer to use blue bricks.
The most prosperous part of this Shimenshan Economic Development Zone is the residential area. This residential area is not only a place to provide accommodation for foreign businesses, but also a variety of formal or irregular entertainment venues.
The construction of Shimenshan Economic Development Zone lasted for three months, and nearly 100,000 people were invested together to build it. The whole scene was naturally spectacular. Although it paid a huge price, Li Chen did not lose money. On the contrary, although the Shimenshan Economic Development Zone was not officially operated, it had already made Li Chen a big profit.
There are naturally no need to have many three thousand trading shops. These three thousand shops are the bottom line for the Chamber of Commerce to operate in the Shimenshan Special Economic Zone in the future, so they are naturally auctioned at high prices. In addition to these three thousand shops, many residential houses in residential areas have also been sold, and some good houses in some areas are even sold at prices.
The construction of Shimenshan Economic Development Zone has come to an end. Under Li Chen's plan, various factories can be opened in Shimenshan Economic Development Zone this month. Once the factory produces another output, the shops in the trade zone can start trading.
"Marty."
"Marty."
Li Chen was wandering in the Shimenshan Special Economic Zone, and the workers who were busy finishing the work were greeting him. This was the biggest project he led after he came to Daqin. It can be imagined that after the establishment of the Shimenshan Special Economic Zone, the economy of Daqin would inevitably develop rapidly.
"Marty, I didn't expect that in just three months, we could accomplish such a big thing in just three months." Li Chen was surrounded by everyone and moved forward slowly, and Liu Bang pointed at the surrounding buildings and said excitedly.
During the construction period in the past few months, Liu Bang has been working hard. He stayed at the construction site all day long and was responsible for ensuring the progress of the project. He had to socialize with large merchants from all over the country at night to ensure that they could settle in Shimenshan Economic Development Zone as soon as possible. Such hardworking Liu Bang really made Li Chen look at him with admiration, and Li Chen also felt that he shouldn't be looking at Liu Bang with tinted glasses. Maybe he is really a hero in troubled times and a capable minister in rule of the world. As long as the Qin Dynasty is not in chaos, then he will not be in chaos.
"Next month, Shimenshan Economic Development Zone will be officially accepted for entry. At that time, businessmen from the north of the South China Sea will gather together. How to manage this Shimenshan Economic Development Zone will be difficult at that time."
"Liu Bang, what do you think about how to manage the Shimenshan Special Economic Zone?" Li Chen thought for a while and asked Liu Bang.
After hearing Li Chen's question, Liu Bang pondered for a moment: "Since the Shenwu Army is stationed here, it is better to implement military control."
"The merchants advocate freedom. The reason why I established the Shimenshan Economic Development Zone is for freedom of trade. The Shenwu Army is only responsible for solving external enemies, and the internal security issues need to be solved by themselves. Your Majesty has agreed that the entire Shimenshan Economic Development Zone will be managed by myself." Li Chen looked around and said.
This Shimenshan Economic Development Zone covers an area of 300 miles and is completely comparable to an ordinary city. And it is like this that the city next to Xianyang was completely handed over to Li Chen to manage. What a trust this is.
"There are many people, and there will naturally be various problems. A special yamen should be established to be responsible for public security, taxation and other issues." Liu Bang thought about it and also came up with his thoughts.
Liu Bangsou was naturally what Li Chen thought. Shimenshan Economic Development Zone is no longer a county town. In order to prevent any chaos in the future, rules must be formulated in advance.
"I plan to set up two yamen in Shimenshan Economic Development Zone, one is the Taxation Department and the other is the Police Department. This Taxation Department is responsible for inspecting the accounts and tax collection of various merchants. The Police Department is responsible for the public security issues in Shimenshan Economic Development Zone." Li Chen said.
The Police Department is not just managing the security issues of Shimenshan Economic Development Zone, not a fat government office. But the Tax Department is not simple. It can be imagined that Shimenshan Economic Development Zone will inevitably become the center of the Qin economy. The Shimenshan Economic Development Zone will inevitably become Li Chen's money bag, so the person in charge of the Tax Department is equivalent to Li Chen's Minister of Revenue.
"Liu Bang, I plan to let you be the director of the tax department. Do you have the confidence to do it well?" Li Chen looked at Liu Bang with bright eyes.
Liu Bang was thinking just now that this position was probably Chen Ping. After all, these people were all surrendered generals. Besides Chen Ping, there was only one Du Bishu who was far away in Donghai County, who was in charge of the Maritime Affairs Office. Liu Bang never expected that such an important position could fall on him.
"Don't worry, if I, Liu Bang, have the trust of the marquis, I will let me thunder and die by cutting it into pieces." Liu Bang knelt on one knee and said solemnly.
Liu Bang and Li Chen have always been very disgusted with him. This time he was asked to take charge of his money bags. This is a person with extremely strong abilities, and Li Chen could not have been avoided. It is much more reliable to let him take charge of money than to let him take charge of his troops. And according to Liu Bang's recent performance, he should not have the intention to betray the Qin Dynasty.
After all, Li Chen’s ability to reuse Liu Bang is also a challenge to him. He believes that he can control this Emperor Gaozu of Han in his previous life. If Li Chen dares not even use Liu Bang he has obtained, then why should he be the trendsetter in this era?
