Chapter 449 Qilin Tower
On February 16, the second year of Chuping, more than half of the grain in the farmland outside Chengdu County had been planted. Many people began to follow the orders of officials in various townships to work nearby. Some young people went to work in order to obtain more income.
I went to the official road and bridge construction registration point to sign up.
Ruixian County also started the construction of a new county town. The city construction plan was originally planned to be built outside the Sixth Fort and between the Seventh and Eighth Forts. In the end, it turned out to be a city wall perimeter centered on the Seventh and Eighth Forts.
A large megacity with a height of more than 3,000 feet will have 12 city gates, 440 watchtowers, and an urban area of more than 4,000 acres. After the city is completed, it can accommodate 100,000 people.
The entire city is expected to take 100,000 people and 6 years to build. Some people may think that it is worth spending so much money to build such a large city wall.
In fact, nothing is worth it, only whether you are willing or not. Such a huge project allows Liu Xin to continuously pay wages to the people, make the people live a prosperous life, and at the same time capture the hearts of all the people.
And with so many wealthy people, various industries in Rui County and even the entire Shu County will be stimulated, making all the people busy, allowing them to get everything they want through labor, and then the entire Shu County will be prosperous.
Become truly powerful.
Liu Xin has more than 2 billion yuan in funds, which can completely recycle the entire Shu County economy. When the entire Shu County is stabilized, Liu Xin will start to establish banks and banks, unify the currency of Shu County, and then use the fine wines of Qilin Trading Company.
Fried noodles, ironware and other goods attracted money from all over the world little by little, thus making Shu County the core of the world little by little.
Many of the original aristocratic mansions in Chengdu County were over 50 acres in size. Now, after the autumn harvest, all the mansions have begun to be renovated. A large mansion has been transformed into dozens or even hundreds of courtyards. Many people have bought new ones from the government.
I moved into the yard with my family.
Among them, the Xu Mansion, which was originally located not far from the Prefecture, covers an area of more than 140 acres. The backyard and middle courtyard have been divided into more than fifty courtyards. This is where the new officials of Shu County live. And the front courtyard
Now it has been completely demolished. Here is a person in charge of Qilin Trading Company. He wants to build a special building here.
"Manager Zhou, I heard that our Qilin Trading Company is going to build a restaurant here, and its height will reach ten feet, right?" A short but smart young man came to Zhou Mi and asked with a smile.
"That's right! The Chamber of Commerce is going to build a restaurant here. It's called Qilin Tower. It's planned to be nine stories high. The height of the building is about 13 feet 2 feet. This place will become a symbol of our Chengdu County.
Qilinlou will sell the most delicious food in the future. A meal will cost dozens of guan, you will know later." Zhou Mi's accent obviously had a northern flavor, he said proudly.
Zhou Mi was one of the earliest generals to follow Liu Xin. He had been working under Wang Qingxun. This time Liu Xin handed over the construction of Qilin Tower to him, but invited more than 30 senior craftsmen from Ruixian County.
"Boss, will the building with such a high height collapse? The tallest building I've ever seen in the county is only three stories!" Next to Zhou Mi was a young man with a northern accent. He used to work as a servant at Qilin Villa. This time it was Zhou Mi.
's deputy.
"How could this happen? Our craftsmen are very skilled! You only need to provide the materials that the craftsmen need. Don't give me problems when it comes to wood and stone. The rest is not your concern!" Zhou Mi said to his subordinates.
said.
Since Liu Xin first used nails in the construction of Pingzihe City, nails have been used more and more frequently in both sleds and carriages. In the end, various rivets, rake nails, long bar nails, pull nails, etc. were successively used.
The iron castle was built, and now they have no problem technically building a nine-story pavilion.
"Manager Zhou, I don't know what will be sold in this Qilin Building in the future. The steamed buns, hot sauce pancakes, and potato chips sold in our county a few days ago are very delicious. Will Qilin Trading Company sell them all here? If so, then
It’s too expensive, we can’t afford it!” A young man from Chengdu next to him said at this time. Zhou Mi is a kind-hearted person and has no airs, so Liu Xin put him in charge of the construction of Qilin Tower.
"Look at your little fortune, those steamed buns and chili sauce pancakes. Why do you think Qilinlou is so good? Let me tell you, Qilinlou mainly sells stir-fries. What is stir-fry? It means stir-frying with rapeseed oil... Forget it, I'll leave it to you.
I don’t know either.” Zhou Mi sighed and said proudly.
Since the rapeseed harvest last year, Liu Xin has asked carpenters to make an oil press under his guidance. As a result, he can often cook a few stir-fried dishes in his house. This makes Liu Xin's family members jealous.
There were tomatoes, eggs, peppers, etc. at home. Liu Xin personally trained several cooks, and a series of Sichuan dishes were created through his unremitting experiments.
Thinking that the big families in the city still had plenty of money and food, and the money in the hands of officials could never be spent according to usual spending methods, Liu Xin wanted to build a luxurious restaurant here and use all the Sichuan dishes he knew to attract money.
"Stir-fried vegetables...then you must have eaten that stir-fried vegetables!" the young man on the side continued to ask.
"Of course, I am the lord himself... Why are you asking so many questions? Why don't you go see how the master craftsman is preparing! If I can't complete the task this year, the lord will deduct my bonus. Let's see if I don't skin you!"
Zhou Mi laughed loudly on purpose, and everyone else laughed and walked away when they saw this!
Zhou Mi watched his men go about their business one by one, and he couldn't help but smile as he quietly observed the bustling Chengdu County. Once Liu Xin had to move thousands of miles, leading everyone from Youzhou to Yizhou. Many people were actually confused.
Yizhou is so unfamiliar to most of them, and now it seems that Liu Xin's decision is so wise!
Yizhou is mountainous and is much safer than Youzhou. They don't have to consider too many external pressures and can develop themselves here with peace of mind.
In just two years, they established Rui County and captured Chengdu County. Their strength increased several times. Qilin Trading Company also grew stronger and stronger in Yizhou. Everyone finally lived the stable life they wanted.
.
Ten days ago, Zhou Mi got married in Chengdu County and married a young lady from a long family. Now he is in charge of most of the business of the chamber of commerce in Chengdu County. All his wishes have basically come true now, but Zhou Mi knows that he cannot be satisfied with the present.
My lord will not be satisfied with being a prefect in Shu County. If they cannot follow Liu Xin's steps to improve themselves, then many children of aristocratic families who have just taken refuge in Liu Xin will soon be able to replace them and follow Liu Xin to see more.
Chapter completed!
