Chapter 369

"It is possible to manage a city and a county like this. It really makes me think of governing a big country like cooking a small freshman!"

On the ninth day of the twelfth month of the second year of Yuanfu, in the Funing Hall, the palace of the officials of all dynasties, Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty leaned against a soft couch, closed his eyes and was listening to a beauty recite a memorial. When he heard it for more than half of the time, he couldn't help but praise it.

This beauty is about twenty-two or three years old. She is very bright, with beautiful facial features, snowy skin, and slender figure. She is wearing a gorgeous jean-hair dress. This is a very solemn outfit, but the woman wearing this dress is quite agile, with her big and bright eyes flashing, showing an intoxicating smile, and there are two shallow dimples on her cheeks.

"Your Majesty, the person who wrote this memorial is a warrior. How do you say to him in words that praise the prime minister?"

The woman's voice was also very nice, like a silver bell. After hearing this, the official Zhao Xu also smiled on his waxy face: "Qingjing, the difference between civil and military background is just a different background, and it has no big connection with talent. Military officers may not be unable to govern one side, and civil officials may not be able to lead troops to fight. And this person... is actually not a real warrior, but a businessman and painter, that martial arts Haogu."

It turns out that this memorial was from Wuhao, and the content is the Jiehe Commercial Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Chamber of Commerce.

In October, the "Qingzhou Agreement" was officially approved by Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty. The edict also ordered Wu Haogu, the "master of Jiehe Shangshi City" to be responsible for the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce and the establishment of the Shangshi City Office.

So from late October to the present period, Wuhao Gu Capital was busy preparing to establish chambers of commerce and establish chambers of commerce offices. Both institutions have now established skeletons, and temporary offices are located in Panjiayuan. Twenty-five of the thirty-three shareholders have deposited their share capital into the market account of the Panjia Gold, Silver and Silk Store, and received a total of 250,000 yuan!

In addition, the construction plan of the mall was also fully launched. Wu Haogu had already drawn the topographic map, and now he had drawn the shopping mall planning map with Huang Silang. Li Jie, who was in Ding You, also asked Li Jie, who was working on the shopping mall to help make the modification. Li Jie led Huang Silang and Hua Manshan to formulate the construction plan for the shopping mall.

Wu Haogu, on the other hand, negotiated with the shareholders of the chamber of commerce for several days to negotiate the legislation and various rules and regulations of the city. By early December, he was finally able to submit a preliminary answer to the emperor.

This "answer sheet" that has taken many brain cells from Wu Haogu not only showed Zhao Xu an orderly and prosperous future concept of the market, but also allowed Zhao Xu to see a method of self-governance in cities that he had never heard of before.

Although urban autonomy sounds a bit like a vassal state, it must not be promoted on a large scale. However, the rules and systems established by Wu Haogu are still quite desirable.

And through these rules and regulations, Zhao Xu seemed to have discovered a talent for priests!

"Qingjing," Zhao Xu glanced at the queen Liu Qingjing, whom he loved. Looking at her beloved innocent and beautiful appearance, the Song Dynasty officials couldn't help but sigh softly, "Look at how he is doing in Jiehe Market? If he is really capable, he will be granted a Jinshi in the future, let him transfer his articles and train him to be the priest."

"What's the point?" Queen Liu Qingjing was stunned for a moment, looking at her husband and said in confusion, "Your Majesty, are you joking with me? How can he be a priest as a businessman?"

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "Among the ministers in his twenties, I see that there are some signs of prison priests, Ji Yi and him... Ji Yi will definitely win this list. He is an official and cannot be given the top scorer, but it is okay to be ranked first. After the competition, he will be sent to Qingtang as the magistrate. If he can achieve something, it will be of great use in the future. Do you remember?"

"Slave..." Liu Qingjing looked at Zhao Xu and immediately understood what her husband meant.

Zhao Xu's health has been getting worse and worse recently, and I'm afraid it won't last for a few years. At most, it's only until a nephew can take over and go there with confidence. By then, it's Liu Qingjing, a young woman in her twenties, will be in power behind the scenes.

Who can you rely on for an orphan and widowed mother in the future?

Of course, Zhang Dun was a reliable minister who was entrusted with orphans, but what about after Zhang Dun's death? Of course, there were many older uncles, but they were not the ones that the queen could control! The queen had to have his own people to control the government, and Zhao Xu looked at him. Zhang Dun's grandson-in-law Ji Yi was one, and he was actually Wu Haogu... These two people were both people who could do things. The country could not be high-profile officials, but there must be officials who could handle facts.

Wu Haogu is indeed capable and capable. It is better to lack a Jinshi. In the future, Empress Liu, who became the empress dowager, would be rewarded with him. He was not grateful and used by Empress Liu? In fact, what the emperors most feared of using people is to meet perfect people and saints. They can't say anything or stop. Most of them will not help you with things, and can only be used as ancestors.

On the contrary, it is a good official like Wu Haogu who is capable and has problems!

This is the imperial power, Zhao Xu thought to himself: The queen is humble and has a simple mind, so she doesn't know these.

"Your Majesty, your dragon body..." Tears were swaying in Liu Qingjing's big eyes.

"Don't cry, don't cry." Zhao Xu waved his hand and smiled, "I still have some time, and there are always some in a few years... You help me up, I'm going to rest."

...

In order to facilitate the work, Wu Haogu took Pan Qiaolian, Ximen Qing and others to live in the West Fourth Courtyard of Panjiayuan since November. This is the residence of the Pan brothers and sisters in the Panjiayuan. Although the house here is old, it is very spacious and the location is good, not as remote as the Lihua Villa.

At this time, he was watching the newly-made Jiehe Market Model with Huang Zhisheng.

Of course, the model was made based on the "imagination map", which is definitely not much the same as the commercial market that will be truly built in the future. However, the foundation is still the same, semicircular cities, tall dams, circular or divergent streets, port square on the bank of the border river (also the area where the municipal buildings are located), and there are also 1,000-story tiles with towers.

Oh, and Wu Haogu's own municipal government hall, as well as the Lighthouse Academy, Lighthouse University and Lighthouse Naval Academy outside the city, all of which were presented to Wu Haogu.

If these things are really built, Wu Haogu thought: I will own a city!

"Good, good work!" Wu Haogu nodded repeatedly, "Silang, can you let go of the matter in Kaifeng Prefecture?"

There are several real estate projects in Kaifeng Prefecture. One is that the Christie's Hall next to Huaxian Temple has started construction. The other is that the "tube building" project located in the north of the city and converted from a warehouse has also started construction.

However, compared with Wanhe Real Estate's project in Kaifeng Prefecture, what Jiehe Commercial City is going to carry out is a real big project to build a city! As a capital craftsman in the construction industry, it will be rare to encounter it in his life.

"Can I let it go," said Huang Zhisheng. "Now, the vice president of Wanhexing is expected to be a younger brother from my family. He has worked with Li Jiang, so he will take over."

"That's good." Wu Haogu nodded, "I'll go with me next spring and be the director of the Commercial and Market Construction Institute for you."

The name of the commercial and municipal institutions has been changing. At first it was a "business" but now it has become a "office" and may become a bigger "business" or "subsidiary" in the future.

Wu Haogu then ordered: "The construction project is currently dams, ditches, waterways, chambers of commerce, municipal guild halls and various government agencies, as well as a medical clinic, a dock, and a lighthouse academy outside the city."

"The masters and masters can find them in Kaifeng Prefecture," Huang Zhisheng asked, "How to recruit strong workers? But does the government mobilize civil servants?"

Wu Haogu's struggle in real estate has made him unable to make a profit of a penny. However, his Republican Bank has the ability and experience to build the business.

With this foundation, Wu Haogu can take the construction of Jiehe Market in his hands!

"No need for civil servants," said Wu Haogu, "using contract slave labor... we build our own construction company."

"Build a self-built manufacturer?" Huang Zhisheng was stunned. "How many strong workers do you have to hire? Even if this commercial construction project is slowly constructed in a few years, it will require at least tens of thousands of strong men."

"Ten thousand is tens of thousands," Wuhao Ancient Road, "There are so many projects to be done, and there are not many strong laborers who have tens of thousands of strong labor."

The Commercial and Market Construction Institute in Wuhaogu’s plan is actually a “public” construction company, specializing in the construction of various public projects and will also have its own professional engineering team.

Needless to say, it is also a need for the anti-Jin war preparations. The engineering team is likely to be the production department closest to the field troops.

The engineering team can gather a large number of strong men, have good organization, and master the ability to build fortification camps, build large-scale equipment and long-distance transportation materials. If the strong men are then organized into baojia, distributed weapons (legal weapons) and conducted military training, then in the future, this "engineering force" can easily be upgraded to a field force. It only requires armor, military crossbows, long spears with a length of more than the prescribed and a small number of light and heavy cavalry. For an industrial and commercial city with a population of 200,000, it seems that it is not very difficult to upgrade a well-organized engineering team to an army.

Of course, this is just a long-term plan in ten or twenty years, and it has nothing to do with the workers that the Commercial and Market Construction Institute is going to recruit. By then, they would have become uncles and uncles.

When Wu Haogu was discussing with Huang Zhisheng, the Luohan maid ran in from outside like a gust of wind, gave a blessing and said, "Master, Hua Junwai's wife, several shareholders of Jiehe Chamber of Commerce are here."
