Chen Xu has been busy again recently.

In addition to arranging the housekeepers of the Hou Mansion to urge farmers on the fief and fief to sow spring plowing, some people were also arranged to rush to the south with the pepper seeds harvested last fall, looking for a warm and humid fertile place for cultivation and planting.

The plan for the year is spring. After a few drizzles of spring rains, as spring plowing sowing unfolded, Chen Xu also slowly redesigned and planned the affairs of the department store and Cuju field, and convened Fan Caiying, Yang Kun and some wealthy people in the Xianyang business community to hold an intention-raising meeting at the Qinghe Hotel.

According to Chen Xu's redesign and planning, this time, a department store will be built based on Cuju Field. According to the model of a comprehensive commercial body in later generations, a commercial square will be planned around Cuju Field, and a three-story shopping mall will be built. Then, these shopping malls will be used as a means of investment and fundraising to raise funds from merchants in Xianyang and even across the country.

As a professional and single stadium, Cuju Field does not have much commercial value. The income from opening Cuju competitions and selling tickets alone cannot support this huge project. Chen Xu understood this after the last discussion at the Academy of Sciences. However, if it is changed to a comprehensive commercial square, a prosperous commercial area will be formed around Cuju Field.

This was not because Chen Xu was whimsical, but because he carefully calculated and sought the opinions of Fan Caiying, Yang Kun, and a group of shareholders of the bus company. He even discussed this issue with the inner historian Qi Dang, and received strong support from Qi Dang.

Today, Xianyang City has a population of more than one million, with more than one hundred thousand wealthy merchants and more than one hundred thousand high-income groups such as kings and princes and ministers. This does not include a large number of business travelers and tens of thousands of disciples from all over the country. Because the changes in Xianyang in the past two years have attracted more and more people to settle in Xianyang, but Xianyang City has been filled with people. There are now palaces on both sides of the Wei River, and houses outside the four city gates in the southeast, west and north are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. Especially after the Wei River Bridge was repaired, the dozens of miles of Zhangtai Palace and Chang'an Palace on the south bank of the Wei River have begun to gather a large number of people, and the entire Wei River has accumulated more than one.5 million people.

This is the capital of the Great Qin Dynasty and the most prosperous and prosperous place in China.

If Daqin could continue to develop safely according to his vision, in ten or twenty years, the population on both sides of the Wei River would exceed two million or even three million, because in this peaceful and tranquil situation, the population would easily experience an explosive growth. Daqin's population is now more than 20 million, and it is possible to exceed 30 million or even 40 million in twenty years. There are many women who get married at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and having children at the age of fifteen or sixteen is the most common situation. In 20 years of peace, iron farm tools and new farming methods will be continuously promoted, and grain fields will continue to be opened up. Grain production will inevitably increase significantly. As long as the food required for population growth is solved, the population will naturally grow rapidly.

According to historical records, from the collapse of the Great Qin Dynasty to the Wenjing reign of the Han Dynasty, there were less than fifty years in total. However, after the melee at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the Chu-Han War, the population of China fell below only more than 10 million, and the deaths were mainly adult men. However, in less than fifty years, the population of the Han Dynasty increased again to the population level at the end of the Qin Dynasty. Therefore, according to the proportion of adult population, the foundation of the Great Qin Dynasty was much stronger than the early Han Dynasty. In addition to the harsh criminal laws and heavy labor taxes, the Qin Dynasty developed steadily for twenty years and a large population growth was inevitable.

Therefore, Xianyang's population will only become more and more prosperous, enough to support a large and medium-sized commercial complex.

However, for the current economic scale and structure of Xianyang, the construction of this huge commercial complex is still too advanced and the investment is too large.

Therefore, when Chen Xu and Fan Caiying and Yang Kun discussed this, both expressed extreme concerns, believing that such a huge investment may put huge pressure on the Chinese money house, and even if the construction is successful, it may not bring the imagined prosperity.

But Chen Xu looked further. Only huge infrastructure investment will drive the reallocation of wealth, especially for cement and steel, which is very exciting. The imperial court has definitely not had enough financial resources to drive infrastructure in the past two or three years. Therefore, private investment is particularly important. Once there is no continuous project start and investment, a large number of cement plants will fall into a state of suspension of production and work. This loss is somewhat unbearable for merchants involved in the financing of cement plants.

Therefore, Chen Xu did not adopt the suggestions of Fan Caiying and Yang Kun, but instead strived to promote the project.

During the meeting, some wealthy businessmen invited also expressed their concerns about this super huge comprehensive business entity, but while they were worried, they also developed extremely grand interest in such an unprecedented business model.

Imagine what kind of bustling scenes will be like when hundreds of business houses are opened together.

"The construction of this Cuju field and department store will inevitably drive the population gathering around the square. The aggregation effect of a large number of goods and population will continue to amplify and drive economic development. Just like the experimental factory and the School of Literature, a huge population gathering area will be formed around the Cuju field, with a population of hundreds of thousands, which will not only reduce the pressure on Xianyang City, but also expand the living scope of the people. You can see the current development trend of the Wei River on both sides..."

Chen Xu pointed to a map of the Neishi Mansion hanging on the wall.

"Now Xianyang is on the north bank of the Wei River, and Jingyang, Liyang, Gaoling and other counties are extremely densely populated areas. However, due to the blockage of the Wei River, it is very inconvenient for business travel from south to north. Although the newly built Wei River Bridge is currently available, it still greatly restricts the transportation and passage of goods. Therefore, the development center of the capital in the future will be on the south bank of the Wei River. In fact, the best way to disperse the population is to migrate the capital and move the capital to Chang'an Palace on the south bank of the Wei River. In this way, many palaces and forest gardens such as Zhangtai Palace, Chang'an Palace, Qutai Palace, Ganquan Palace, Leyouyuan, Yichun Garden will soon form a new city with a population of more than one million..."

As Chen Xu told him, the whole room felt extremely quiet.

The movement of the capital is like a fairy tale, but Chen Xu said it is not bad at all. Now that the Qin Dynasty has unified the world, the capital is constrained everywhere on the north bank of the Wei River, especially the transportation and transportation of goods is very inconvenient. Now a large number of merchants from the south have hoarded goods in the market on the south bank of the Wei River Bridge. Most of these goods have to be transported into Xianyang through the Wei River Bridge. Therefore, the pressure on the Wei River Bridge is huge, and because of the four-wheeled horse

With the rise of cars, the goods transported are getting heavier and heavier. There is no overload yet. However, the load of a four-wheeled carriage is several times more than that of the previous two-wheeled carriages, which has caused the Neishi Mansion to be worried that the dense flow of goods will crush the Weihe Bridge, so it arranged soldiers to protect the bridge and restrict caravans from slowly passing. Therefore, although the Weihe Bridge has been repaired and the traffic volume has been increased by more than ten times, it is still in an intestinal obstruction position, and the accumulated goods on both sides of the bridge are still piled up like mountains.

As Xianyang's population increases, this state is still increasing day by day.

Because we have to feed more and more people, the consumption of salt, grain, cloth and various daily necessities is getting bigger and bigger. Especially as Chen Xu's promotion of business is getting faster and faster, a large amount of money begins to flow to ordinary people, and the people's consumption power will become bigger and bigger. The tens of thousands of people raised by Qinghe Park, newspapers, science and arts colleges alone is a huge consumption power. With the continuous rise of various businesses, Xianyang's consumption market size accounts for almost one-third of the entire Daqin, and more than half of the rich people in the country live in Xianyang. This is the current situation.

Almost the whole country is working hard to develop Xianyang, which is enough to allow all merchants with advanced vision to see future development prospects and hopes.

Therefore, there is no problem in building this commercial real estate, and it will inevitably reach a situation that Chen Xu expects in the future. However, the investment is too large, with an investment of over 100 million yuan second only to Dongfangdao. For businessmen, this investment was simply unimaginable in the past.

Yang Kun looked at Chen Xu, his eyes flashed. For Chen Xu's investment of hundreds of millions, he felt that his previous situation was no different from that of ant. Since Chen Xu used an incredible plan to leverage and complete the Oriental Road, he was already impressed by Chen Xu.

"Mr. Marquis, it's still a problem of funding. With such a large investment, it's impossible to raise funds like Dongfangdao again, because Dongfangdao has drained almost all the funds of participating merchants, and they have large loans that have not been paid off. For future development, they will definitely not have more energy to support Marquis' project!"

Fan Caiying looked at her husband with beautiful eyes. Although she was a low-key person, Chen Xu never looked down on her. She treated her, the fifth princess and Meng Wan almost equally, and even relied more on business. She would discuss with her any business matters, no matter how big or small it was. This made her feel unparalleled happiness and wanted to manage the money house and various businesses for Chen Xu. No matter how hard or tired she was, she would take it for granted.

"So that's why I'm calling you to discuss this matter again today. According to future development, it is a very good time to build this comprehensive commercial project based on Cuju Field. Moreover, with the development of commercial projects, it is easier to raise funds. Yang Kun will preside over the overall situation and prepare a Cuju Field commercial development company. With the profits of department stores and Cuju Field in the next 20 years as collateral, borrow 100 million yuan from Huaxia Money House, split the investment into an unfixed equity and a shopping mall for sale. Any merchant who purchases will be a shareholder of this project in the future..."

"Mr. Marquis, what if there is no one to buy the shop?" Yang Kun asked with some concern.

"No one will buy it, but many people may just wait and see. Once they find that the shopping mall of Cuju are very good, it will inevitably attract a large number of merchants to join in. Therefore, development is the focus. Later sales need to be taken slowly. This is an advertising issue. If you can't sell it in the end, it will become the industry of Huaxia Money House..."

Fan Caiying looked at Chen Xu with laughter and cry.

According to Chen Xu's plan, the money shop may eventually become a real estate development company, and a large amount of funds will fall into Cuju venues and department stores and become a bad debt.

But Chen Xu insisted on promoting this project so much. As Chen Xu's most capable assistant, Fan Caiying will inevitably support Chen Xu's plan in the end, and he will do his best to make this project the best.
