Since bidding for the commercial rights of the city under the first Qingfeng Camp raider, Qian Housheng is looking forward to the day when he will be able to take charge of the commercial rights of a city.
It stands to reason that Beiguang City is the capital of Beiguang Mansion, and there is no need for him to be entangled, just choose Beiguang directly, the size of the city, the location, and the number of residences in the entire Beiguang Mansion are absolutely first-class.
It's a pity that the current Beiguang City has been flooded by Qingfeng Camp, and the entire city has to be pulled out of the silt piece by piece, and it is impossible to say how many places can be cleaned up, and it will be a long and costly project, and the Qian family does not have the financial and manpower to do this kind of thing.
As for the location, before Guangping City did not rise, Beiguang City was indeed the center of the entire Beiguang Mansion, but now the entire Beiguang Mansion has been renamed Changnan, in the center, even if Guangping cannot become the center of Changnan in the future because of the pattern problem, it will definitely not be Beiguang's turn, especially Qian Housheng knows very well that with the current Guangping posture, no one can win the business rights of Guangping City from Qingfeng Ying, since this is the case, the business district in the center of Changnan will definitely not be given up because of this, so, Be content with others, don't expect that you can reach the peak of your life all of a sudden, and wealth will roll in.
After several comparisons, he chose the vestibule city, at least, also Tianming and Beiguang, the vestibule city was neither flooded, nor was it or less, the city is the most intact one, after his Qian family was stationed, at least a large amount of silver could be left to repair, as the saying goes, planting the plane tree, in order to attract the golden phoenix, a ruin can not attract the merchants who brought him the wealth of the Qian family.
The Civil Affairs Yamen fully supported his choice, and after the Qian family's people entered the Qianting City, the governance of the Qianting City was transferred to the Qian family, and Qian Housheng also became the director of the Civil Affairs Yamen of the Qianting City.
Fortunately, there are not many people in Qianting City who are worth managing, even if they take over the power of a city, there are a thousand things, Qian Housheng only needs to arrange to accept immigrants from all over the world to enter his city, and keep them with generous conditions, the original only a handful of Dayue people left in this city, he Xiao Cao followed, according to the Qingfeng Camp handed over to him as it was, and he didn't have time to take care of it in front of him.
Because of the serious shortage of manpower, he had to ask for help from the Guangping Chamber of Commerce, the purpose of the existence of the Chamber of Commerce, isn't it for the mutual assistance between members, to help the Qian family, or it is equivalent to helping the members of the Chamber of Commerce themselves, maybe the next time they bid for business rights are they, now from the Qian family because of the help to learn experience, maybe for them in the future, but it has a huge use.
The Chamber of Commerce received the Qian family's request for help, and immediately organized some of its members to go to the vestibule to help, but for the only city that was not poisoned by the war, the immigrants were happy to settle down in the vestibule city, in the current situation, it was obviously much safer in the city than in the wilderness, these immigrants, especially those who were sent by the powerful in Beijing, and those who had a close relationship with the manpower, as long as they had the conditions to stay in the city, they would definitely not take this risk.
Therefore, these manpower organized by the Chamber of Commerce is just a drop in the bucket, in a short period of time, the Vestibule City has gathered almost thousands of people, breaking 10,000 is just around the corner, relying on dozens of hundreds of merchants who are not very skilled in business, to maintain a stable situation, but it is a little difficult.
Fortunately, there are still characters like Han Qiaoqiao in the Chamber of Commerce, this kind of thing, the Chamber of Commerce and the Qian family are not good to directly ask the General's Mansion for help, and even the military and political yamen and the civil affairs yamen, they can't speak, but they can talk to Han Qiaoqiao about this matter.
Lin Wushuang knew the news in a roundabout way, and smiled dumbly, since he supported it, he would naturally have the determination to support it to the end, with a stroke of the pen, those merchant children who were training in the teaching camp immediately transferred a part of it and took turns to help in the vestibule city, this can also be regarded as an internship, at least, you can familiarize yourself with the environment in advance, Lin Wushuang can't use his regular military strength to do this thing, and even if he is willing to do this, he has to take into account the thoughts of the businessmen, and he thinks that he is reluctant to let go, That's why the army was sent to intervene in this matter, but these people in the teaching camp are different, they are originally the children of merchants, even if they join the Qingfeng Battalion and become soldiers, they have a natural affinity with the Qian family in Qianyuan City and those helpers he invited from the Chamber of Commerce, so that they will not worry about any rejection from those merchants, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.
Qian Housheng is now in the position of his former court director Yamen, a little bit of a feeling, the so-called business power, in the current situation, is equivalent to the governing power, and Qian Housheng has also changed, from an ordinary businessman, to an official in Changnan, this is simply a surprise for the Qian family, anyway, even the people in the Chamber of Commerce know that this kind of thing, Qian Housheng because he is the first, maybe he has this kind of treatment, and the latecomers, I am afraid that there will be no such luck.
Qian Housheng at this moment, the only headache is still at war right now, although the vestibule city seems to be a little prosperous, but it is likely that a big battle will be fought, and this seems to be a good situation, and it is getting farther and farther away from him.
He really hoped that the Qingfeng Battalion would win a few more battles and capture a few more cities, so that the battle line would extend outward, at least, the Front Courtyard City would not be like this, it would be on the front line at any time, and it would be in a state of war with the Da Yue people.
At that time, the vestibule city in the rear, far away from the flames of war, would be really prosperous.
"Third uncle, third uncle" sat in the lobby of his yamen, Qian Housheng was thinking about his own thoughts, and he saw one of his nephews stumbling in, with some panic on his face.
His face sank, and he scolded with some displeasure: "I said that in the yamen, I should be called an adult, and the title at home is okay to be called in private, if it is the same in this public court, then there is no distinction between public and private."
After a few days, Qian Housheng, who was addicted to the government, was simply out of control, and reprimanded his nephew, but he didn't have any affection at all.
"My lord, my lord, something happened, the Dayue people in the city are in chaos" The children of the Qian family immediately changed their words: "Sande came back to report the news, saying that he was guarding those Dayue people on the order of the adults, and those Dayue people were in a commotion right now, Sande saw that the situation was not good, and beckoned those brothers who were in the army to rush over, I was afraid that the adults would not know, so I hurried over to report the news" "What" Qian Housheng got up from the chair: "General Han's men and horses are all outside the city, immediately send someone to inform General Han, how many people we can use, can we suppress them" "My lord" The children of the Qian family reminded with some hesitation: "There are hundreds of people in Dayue, they are all in peace and control on weekdays, and today is in chaos, I am afraid that it has been premeditated for a long time, in addition to some guards, the people we can use can also teach the people in the battalion to use, General Han is afraid that it will be too late, and when the army outside the city arrives, I am afraid that the dust will have settled on this side."
"Where are the people, take me there, tell all the people who have nothing to do to follow the official there, and the Dayue people who are in turmoil" Qian Housheng said loudly, raising his feet and walking towards the door.
At the door of a certain shop in the city, a few ordinary looking merchants, looking at the people with weapons on the street outside, ran past the door in bursts, and couldn't help but bow their heads and talk, this street is a relatively prosperous street in the front courtyard at present, shops, houses, and immigrants stationed in the front yard have been quite large-scale, these merchants, the previous behavior on this street, seems to have come here to find a suitable shop, and intend to come here to do business, therefore, by their side, there is also a person from the forecourt civil affairs yamen to accompany them.
"What's going on, did the soldiers and horses of the Ruan Dynasty come over?"
a well-dressed boy at the front of the head, pointing to the chaos on the street, asked a little strangely.
"Probably not" The person who accompanied him was also a little confused, "There are our soldiers and horses outside the city, if the Dayue people come over, the city will be closed a long time ago, besides, now if we don't fight the Dayue people, those Dayue people will have to thank God, they still dare to fight, but they are against them."
The words were filled with a strong sense of pride, but the obedient and delicate boy frowned slightly, even if the other party was talking about something, she felt a little uncomfortable.
"You're talking about the soldiers and horses of the Ruan Dynasty, they can't represent the Dayue people, just like the people of Pingyue Prefecture are the people of Da Ming, but you can't say that the people of Da Yue are the people of Ping Yue Prefecture, the Da Yue Kingdom has the difference between the Southern Dynasty and the Northern Dynasty, and the Ruan family is just a corner of the Southern Dynasty."
"It's all about the same, it's all the same" The people from the Yamen who accompanied the board of directors didn't care about this slip of the tongue: "I'll go and inquire, a few of you wait a little."
After a while, he came back from the street, with a somewhat gloating look: "It's not the Dayue people who called, it's the Dayue people in the city who are making trouble, this kind of trivial matter, please, the people of our yamen and the people of the teaching camp can settle down, don't worry, let's continue to look at the shop, you look at the shop" "Wait, there are still Da Yue people in the city" The delicate boy interrupted their conversation: "Didn't you say that the soldiers and horses and people of the Ruan Dynasty all took the initiative to withdraw?"
"There are always people who can't go, those who make trouble in the city, that is, those who can't go, it's also to blame our soldiers and horses for being soft, if I were the general in charge, I would have killed these people a long time ago, but our Lord Qian said, the killing of prisoners is unknown, probably our soldiers and horses, this is also the reason to leave them, like these guys who are in the way, even if they don't kill, just drive them away, stay in the city, isn't this a mess for us, no, this mess will rise, and the guests will be at peace" "Take us to see" The showy boy ignored his nagging.
"What about this shop?"
"The matter of the shop, I have time to talk about it later, there is this excitement to see at the moment, it is the most important thing" The showy boy smiled: "It's just right, take this opportunity to see how the civil affairs yamen of Qianyuan City acts, it will be good for us in the future."
Since the guests said so, the accompanying people were helpless, these guests, but they came from Guangping, and personally found Lord Qian, and then Lord Qian told him to serve these people well, maybe these people are the great god of wealth in the vestibule, you are hungry, he does not dare to disobey the other party's will.
Following the route of those who were running with weapons, the group followed and saw two groups of people nervously confronting each other, one group was the Da Yue people who looked yellow and thin, and the other group was the people from the civil affairs yamen in the mouth of the entourage, all of them were sturdy young men, with weapons in their hands, probably far fewer than the other party, waiting for the companions to come from all directions, and for a while, the two sides fell into a stalemate, and there was no fight.
"It doesn't look good, one by one, the prince values these people too much" Li Xiang said to the people around him with some contempt, of course, he said Da Yue dialect, although the entourage was clever, but his eyes widened, and he didn't understand what the guests were talking about.
"It seems that they are all a group of newcomers, their steps are vain, their actions are undisciplined, and they are not as good as our elite" The entourage around him also expressed their own opinions, which is in line with Li Xiang.
Li Xiang nodded approvingly, and his evaluation of Changnan was a little lower.
This is after Changnan agreed to Zheng Chao Zheng San's conditions, waiting for Zheng San's side to prepare the ship port, Changnan's side to prepare the gap of manpower, Li Xiang and his people who were wandering around the forecourt city, although Changnan agreed to most of their conditions, but to join the Guangping Chamber of Commerce, Changnan did not make any guarantees, the reason is that this is a civil behavior, they can not interfere, as long as they do not violate the rules, they will accept people if they love to accept people, and if they love not to accept people, they will not accept people, and the civil affairs yamen can't control it.
However, doing business in Changnan has been permitted, but at present, there is not much place for Li Xiang to play in Ziah Guangping City, and the market territory has been carved up by the merchants who came first.
However, this is not difficult for Li Xiang, without giving up Guangping, she will see the current in addition to Guangping, the most popular vestibule city, it was because of the reality that missed the entry, the people of the third prince will now be so difficult to enter the Guangping market, now the vestibule city is a copy of Guangping City, if they also miss the opportunity this time, then they can't blame God for not giving them a chance, they can only blame themselves for not having a vision.
So, they and their party got permission directly from the Guangping Civil Affairs Yamen, and they arrived at this vestibule in a leisurely manner, but for Li Xiang, in addition to checking whether there is an opportunity to see if there is anything they need here, if it is possible to have a personal understanding of the military, government and civilian situation of the Qingfeng Battalion, I believe that this kind of information, even if a spy is sent, may not be able to be so detailed and credible.
But they didn't expect that as soon as they got here, they would encounter this kind of thing. aa2705221 t1706231537:
