Chapter 296: To be rich, build roads first

The long winter is gradually passing away, and the warmth of spring begins to permeate every corner of Qingzhou.
The temperature has warmed up, everything has recovered, and Qingzhou seems to be alive.
After going to Qingzhou Camp to distribute the uniforms, Xiao Ming released a message through the government office, and this news immediately stirred up waves.
"Qingzhou is about to build cement roads. It is said that the streets in the shops will be paved, and the east and west markets are the focus of the transformation. This Chinese New Year, Qi Wang's handwriting is not small."
In an exquisite house in Qingzhou Chengminfang, the old housekeeper is telling Guo Xinyuan about today’s news in Qingzhou Daily.
"Cement road? Is that the kind of cement road we have seen in the workshop area?" Guo Xinyuan said.
He was originally a businessman in Chang'an, but since he used all his belongings to build five soap shops in Qingzhou, he bought a house in Qingzhou and applied for Qingzhou household registration.
Qingzhou stipulates that anyone who invests one hundred thousand taels of silver in Qingzhou can apply for a Qingzhou household registration and settle down in Qingzhou from then on.
At first, he was a little nervous, but since Qingzhou came out of glass and mirrors, he felt that he had an advantage. Because living in the local area, he could go to the chamber of commerce every morning to line up to get the mirrors and glass sold that day.
Then he was able to change hands with these mirrors and glasses to earn money. In one winter, he made a lot of money. Since then, he has been comfortable with his identity as a Qingzhou native.
"No, this kind of road is very hard. If you fall on it, you don't break your bones." The old housekeeper had a lingering fear. The last time he went to buy goods, he fell on the road and hurt him to death.
Guo Xinyuan's eyes rumbling around, although the concrete road is hard, but the inside is still unimpeded after the rain, which is very suitable for horse-drawn carriages and people to drive on the road and transport goods.
If the entire Qingzhou city is paved with cement roads, the appearance of Qingzhou will definitely be greatly improved, there will be no rain, and the city will be full of mud.
Thinking of this, he had some expectations.
But he was more concerned about how to cultivate, so he continued to ask: "What else is said above?"
"I also said that the government will recruit strong men to participate in the construction of Qingzhou Road, and will also issue money." The old butler recalled.
Guo Xinyuan’s eyes lit up and he said,
This is the way to make money. The whole Qingzhou city is paving the way. Such a big job requires a lot of money. It’s really right to settle in Qingzhou. There are ways to make money everywhere. Let's go to see Pang Changshi and ask about this."
Qingzhou government office.
Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun are talking about building roads. The road is too cold in winter. This road cannot be repaired because the cement will be frozen out. Therefore, the Cangzhou project was stopped in winter. He couldn't make cement. antifreeze.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, the municipal construction is about to start.
The appearance of a city is very important for attracting wealthy businessmen from other places. Creating a comfortable living environment is a prerequisite for attracting the wealthy to settle down. It has never changed since ancient times.
Therefore, he attaches great importance to the reconstruction of Qingzhou City, which is an important part of commercial construction.
"Pang Changshi, businessman Guo Xinyuan wants to see you."
When the two were discussing, an officer came to report.
"Guo Xinyuan?" Pang Yukun showed a playful look, "His Royal Highness, you said that Cao Cao is here. It seems that there are many shrewd businessmen."
"Do you know this Guo Xinyuan from the way you look?" Xiao Ming asked.
"Acknowledge, this Guo Xinyuan is a Chang'an businessman who applied to join Qingzhou's household registration last year. This household registration certificate was issued to him by the official himself." Pang Yukun said.
"Well, yes, this is a good start. I hope that more and more businessmen will join the Qingzhou household registration in the future." Xiao Ming smiled.
In fact, his policy is just similar to investment immigration, which is a trick for many countries to attract money to develop their economy in modern times.
Xiao Ming nodded and said, "Let him come in, maybe what he said is not about the road."
Not long after, Guo Xinyuan entered the government office and saw that Xiao Ming was also there. He immediately bowed and said, "I have seen your Royal Highness and Pang Changshi."
"Mianli, Guo Xinyuan, this Wang Zheng and Pang Changshi talked about this road, you are not here for this matter." Xiao Ming is straightforward.
Guo Xinyuan was taken aback and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, it is precisely for this matter. His Royal Highness really made a brilliant calculation. Cao Min came this time to ask His Royal Highness whether we businessmen can participate in the construction of Qingzhou Road."
Xiao Ming and Pang Yukun looked at each other, and Xiao Ming said, "Yes, but there are prerequisites."
Guo Xinyuan's heart suddenly became a little frustrated. This king Qi now has an extremely shrewd image in the minds of businessmen. I don't know what idea he will come up with. He still said, "His Royal Highness, please!"
"Two, one, the young men you recruit must be local people in Qingzhou, and the second construction project must be purchased from Qingzhou locals. If you agree to these two, you can also participate in the construction of roads and underground pipelines. ."

Purchasing materials from Qingzhou can save shipping costs, and there is no problem in recruiting people from Qingzhou. After all, the grassroots have already settled in Qingzhou.
Guo Xinyuan said.
Guo Xinyuan promised so happily, Xiao Ming said: "No problem, these days, this king will publish bids, and you can choose to contract for different bids."
Guo Xinyuan was overjoyed when he heard the words, and after repeated thanks, he walked out slowly.
Pang Yukun watched Guo Xinyuan leave and continued: "His Royal Highness, we should take advantage of this opportunity to train more businessmen like Guo Xinyuan, so that other businessmen can make up their minds to stay in Qingzhou."
"What you said is reasonable, and some builders should also be cultivated from the private sector."
"This is fine, but the folks don't have so much money to buy materials and hire people." Pang Yukun said.
Xiao Ming smiled ~EbookFREE.me~ This is not a big problem, we can lend them without money. "
"His Royal Highness, it's a joke. Since ancient times, there has been no government lending money to the people." Pang Yukun waved his hand.
Xiao Ming said, "This king is serious. Do you remember where the cashiers are used by merchants today?"
"Cao Family Bank."
Xiao Ming nodded, "It is said that the Cao family is the richest merchant in the south of the Yangtze River. This Cao family bank is all over the country of Da Yu. This king is really envious. Why don't we set up a government-run bank in Qingzhou? With this bank, we can tell the people Lending to provide them with the capital to do business."
Pang Yukun fell into deep thought and pondered for a while. He said: "His Royal Highness, it's just the superficiality of the officials. All the banks are based on gold and silver. We issue as many silver notes as we have. Our treasury is not sufficient."
"This is not a question of preparing for the establishment of a bank. If you have more money, you will send more money, and if you don't have money money, you will send less money. Let's take the opportunity to build Qingzhou Bank." Xiao Ming made up his mind.
