Chapter 96 Some things can't be avoided Chen Ying is a little unable to understand Quan Xu's thoughts, for an ordinary staff member, there is actually no need to figure out the boss's thoughts, because the boss likes those employees who are diligent and heard, not the whole blind thinking.However, at Chen Ying's level, they can't be too honest or too step-by-step, they need to guess the boss's intentions and prepare for everything in advance.Quan Xu has just acquired 130,000 acres of land, and he has begun to think about the women's shop, the women's shop, in Chen Ying's opinion, this is not a shop, it can be accurately said that this is not an ordinary shop, but Quan Xu is preparing to carry out lady diplomacy.Quan Xu's background makes him destined to be unable to marry a wealthy family, and he is still single now, and this kind of club system is also to contact more contacts.Fourteen thousand two hundred taels of silver, and giving it away without blinking an eye, it takes a lot of courage.Don't look at the wealthy and wealthy, but farming, no matter which dynasty or generation, is actually not profitable.Don't look at the fact that the price of grain in the Daimyo Mansion has risen to more than two taels of silver per stone, this is last year's drought and grain production has dropped sharply.At the time of the harvest of grain in Wanli, the bucket was only three cents of silver, one stone of rice was three coins of silver, and 10,000 acres of land were deducted fifty percent a year, as a rent, and only less than 5,000 stone of grain could be received a year, which was converted into silver, only more than 1,500 taels.In this way, the income is only gross profit, and it is necessary to subtract the food, drink, and Lazar of these people such as stewards, servants, and maids, and it would be good to have seven or eight hundred taels of money in hand.Quan Xu bought so much land at this time, however, he did not have any official position, no official background, which was very dangerous, and the entire gentry of the daimyo were all knocking on the side and secretly inquiring about Quan Xu's identity.Once Quan Xu's true identity is revealed, the daimyo gentry will not be polite to Quan Xu, and they will pounce on Quan Xu like locusts to suck blood.As Quanxu's general manager of foreign affairs, Chen Ying must remind Quanxu not to expand blindly, and the most important thing is to lay a solid foundation."
Master!"
Chen Ying thought about it and decided to open the skylight with Quan Xu and say something bright: "Master Quan, what are your plans for the future?"
”"The future?
Naturally, I should hurry up and prepare for spring ploughing while building a castle!
”"Master Quan, you misunderstood what I meant, it's not how this year is, it's what your plans are for the future!"
Quan Xu didn't understand Chen Ying's worries, in fact, he knew very well what Chen Ying wanted to ask, but it was not easy to tell Chen Ying, so he had to pretend to be confused.Ten months later, Houjin will be Koubian and shortlisted for the Beijing Division, and Lu Xiangsheng will also recruit the young and strong of the Daimyo Mansion and go north to King Qin, and finally be promoted to the right to participate in politics, the right to participate in politics and deputy envoys, and go out to rectify the military equipment of the three prefectures of Daimyo, Guangping, and Shunde.This is the governor of the smaller number, and he can be regarded as a feudal official, while Quan Xu became the core of Lu Xiangsheng and the backbone of the Tianxiong army through the battle of King Qin.However, this is a bit too far to say now.As for Chen Ying's worries, the gentry of the Daimyo Mansion are looking for trouble with him, or are they joining forces to deal with him?
This question is simpler, Quan Xu doesn't like to play conspiracy, so he likes to go straight and go straight to the point, and Huang Liji is their end.Quan Xu has his incomparably ungodly golden finger, and it is actually very easy to deal with the gentry of the Daimyo's Mansion, no matter who feels the head iron, you can just try it.Quan Xu smiled coldly: "The most important problem now is to build a dock fort, which can stand in an undefeated battle!"
”Chen Ying is also a smart person, he watched Quan Xu talk to him, he just didn't go to the point, he knew that Quan Xu didn't want to say, he didn't want to say, then he didn't need to ask, and he wouldn't say it if he asked."
Master Quan, then I'll go back to Daimyo City!""
Hmm!""
By the way, meet qualified craftsmen, skilled craftsmen, and guide them to Jindi!""
Okay!"
Since the snow melted on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, Quanxu's castle construction plan began to be officially implemented.Of course, the construction of this dock fort was during this time, and Quan Xu discussed it with all netizens on the Internet in later generations.Quan Xu did not adopt the so-called fortress design scheme, in the defensive battle, the fortress does have a certain advantage in cross-firepower, which is very unfavorable for the attacking side.However, the problem is that the conditions of ancient Europe and China are completely different, and the wars in Europe in the Middle Ages and even in Europe are completely different from the wars in China.Regardless of the degree of tragedy, or the number of attackers, it is completely different.Of course, Quan Xu's goal is different, he will encounter a flood of peasant armies for a long time in the future, although the peasant army has firearms, but the quantity is small, the quality is not high, under normal circumstances, it is a cold weapon attack, however, the traditional Chinese castle is enough to deal with it easily.Even when Li Zicheng had millions, he opened the seal with flooding, but broke the city strongly, because the attack power was too weak.The biggest disadvantage of the fortress is that it sacrifices the internal space for purely military purposes.The city built by Quan Xu was for the important purpose of industrial production, residence, and commercial exchanges, and the military was only part of the function.What's more, Quan Xu is not a person who is willing to be a shrinking turtle, field hard is his style just now, after a few years of development, Quan Xu should also be able to establish a loyal and reliable team, and also have complete weapons and equipment, in this case, unless Quan Xu has a hole in his brain, he will defend the city.Even if the other party has an army of 100,000, thirty armed armored vehicles can easily push it over, and still have to wait for the other party to surround the castle?
Or do you want the opponent to attack in front of the castle?
The purpose is different, and the result is naturally different.The fortress is not as good as the traditional Chinese city.However, now that the Ming order still exists, Quan Xu did not dare to build a city openly, but adopted a trick.As with other ordinary city walls, a 12-meter-high construction design scheme was adopted, and then a prefabricated house was added to the top of the city wall to form a four-storey building.Once the war requires, the prefabricated house is demolished, and it is the city wall.This castle was not built on the basis of Quanxu's compound, but due east, close to the Jiagou River with a width of about seventy or eighty steps, and the city wall was built on the embankment of the Jiagou River, forming a length of 1,066 meters from north to south, 882 meters from east to west, covering an area of about 940,000 square meters.In fact, this area is not large, and it is not as big as the Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces of Hengdian Film and Television City.Once the eastern wall is completed, a gate will be dug in the center, and the entire castle will be divided into four parts by two streets that run through the entire castle.In this way, it is possible to form an industrial production area, a commercial trade area, a residential area, and a personal base area for Quanxu.Rome was not built in a day, to build this castle, the Quanxu plan is to take three years, anyway, there is no accident, like Wang Jiayin of Northern Shaanxi, Baishui Wang Er, Anzhai Gao Zhengxiang, Yichuan Wang Zuohang, Yuzhong Li Zicheng (the first to kill officials in Yuzhong and rebel), Feishan Tiger, Big Red Wolf, Luochuan Wang Hu, Black Evil God, Yanchuan Wang Monk, Gansu Qingyang Han Chaozai, Wudu Zhou Dawang and other rebellions everywhere.The first wave of rebellion, although it would soon be wiped out by the imperial army, at the critical moment, after Jin Koubian, shortlisted in the Beijing Division, then the military department Shangshu Wang Qia, issued the Qin Wang Order.Yang He, the governor of the three sides, Geng Ruqi, the governor of Shaanxi, and Mei Zhilian, the governor of Gansu, led elite troops to King Qinwang in Beijing, and the rebels who were on the verge of destruction immediately revived.With the turmoil in the northwest, good farmers or wealthy families have fled, and Quanxu can have plenty of manpower.Of course, there is no hurry now, first according to the plan, step by step, along the embankment to build this wall with the Jiagou River on the east side.Unlike other people who build houses, Quan Xu adopts the kind of scaffolding that people in later generations use, and also encloses a fall prevention net.From a distance, it looks as if a river embankment is being built and ditches are being dredged.Yuan Shiqing and Hua Shanhu were in charge of the construction of the castle.On the morning of the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Quan Xu got the news that the decoration work of the women's workshop had been completed, and Cao ran over excitedly to report the good news to Quan Xu.The women's square plan to open on the 16th of the first month can be successfully realized.Quanxu fulfilled his promise, allocated 56 stone of grain, and rewarded more than 390 craftsmen.Immediately, Quan Xu took Sanniang, Erniang, Xin Yue, and Taoxian to the Daimyofu City.At noon, Quan Xu arrived at the Women's Square.Hongchen took more than a dozen women from Yingying Yanyan to stand in front of the gate of the women's square to greet Quan Xu.Jeon Wook didn't rush in, but stood at the door, looking outside.I saw the tall gatehouse, which looked extraordinary.The tiles, which were originally slightly old, have also been replaced.Entering along the main entrance, it is a long main corridor, about fifty or sixty steps, flanked by three-story wings.Under the eaves of the main corridor, there are all flowery maids, there are almost fifty or sixty of them, these people are all purchased by the Cao family and trained for more than ten days.Around the north and south patios, there are small warm pavilions that can rest, every aisle, every pavilion, are hung with crystal clear crystal wind chimes, the only fly in the ointment is that the painted paint is the paint that Quanxu bought from later generations, and the steam smell is a little strong.However, under the red lanterns and the electronic ambient lights attached to the floor, it seems that the beaded curtains are embroidered here, and the eyes are full of dazzling."
It's so beautiful!"
Sanniang couldn't help but exclaim.Cao Shi regretted slightly: "Master Quan, if it is changed to a Goolan (brothel), I am afraid that in Nanjing or Beijing, there are not many such good places!"
”"Don't talk about it again!"
Quan Xu frowned and said, "I don't make this kind of money." ”Quan Xu knows very well that this kind of business requires a strong background, otherwise it will be two ends in three days, and just dealing with this kind of interpersonal relationship will make him troubled to death.Decoration materials, Quanxu uses a lot of later generations of lacquer boards, which is very high-grade and more luxurious.Although the decoration style of the women's workshop is mainly based on the Ming Dynasty, some technological elements have also been added.Electronic energy-saving ambient lighting sets off the atmosphere just right.There are some things that I really can't dodge.Not long after Quan Xu arrived at the Women's Square, Yang Lukai arrived at the Women's Square: "Quan Gongzi, my family is invited!"
”Quan Xu naturally knew what Lu Xiangsheng had found, and it must be for the 130,000 acres of land that had not yet been traded.Quan Xu looked at Sanniang and Erniang and said, "You guys look around, I'll come when I go!"
