Chapter 89
Chapter 89 Joint venture and marriage
At first glance, Gabriel seemed to be interested in the southern half of the county town. Zhang Ziqiang was stunned. Someone wanted to buy those rags? He didn't reply for a while before he could figure it out. But when he was silent, Benson and several middle-aged nobles immediately shouted at Gabriel. However, Bill didn't say anything. Gabriel was immediately frightened and his legs were weak and he sat on the ground!
Zhang Ziqiang came to his senses as he heard the shout. He waved his hand to stop Benson and others, and said to Gabriel with a smile: "Don't be afraid, it doesn't matter if you have any requirements to say it. It's time to talk about it or not."
After he said that, he glanced at a few nobles, as if he was explaining to them. When he saw Gabriel dared not speak, he took the initiative to ask: "What kind of industry are most of your chambers of commerce engaged in?"
When Gabriel saw the Lord's inquiry, he quickly replied in a low voice: "Mr. Hou... The Chamber of Commerce cooperated with the Hudal family to transport some specialties in the county from sea to the northern Oma Empire for sale, and also transported some specialties and slaves from the Oma Empire back to the country."
Zhang Ziqiang thought to himself that he was engaged in international trade and it seemed that he should have money. He was worried about the funds for the establishment of a higher education college two days ago. How could such a funder let go?
His face was even more kind, and he said to Gabriel with a gentle voice: "The southern half of Rosidin can be transferred, but it must be demolished and rebuilt according to my new plan."
After he said that, he asked Xiao Cui to take out the planning map of the southern half city, and personally spread the map on the floor of the hall, explaining to everyone: "Rositing City is extremely messy now, and I will issue some new regulations in the future. This picture on the ground is the planning map of the southern half city, and the northern half city must be re-planned, and the plan will be negotiated later."
"Now in Rosiding City, a building house covers less than one acre of land. How much is it to buy the current shops and houses?"
Gabrielle thought about it and replied: "Now, the shops and houses in the city require two thousand gold coins, and the poor areas also require one thousand two hundred gold coins." Seeing that Zhang Ziqiang seemed to be interested in selling real estate in the Nanban City, the nobles also became interested.
"How many gold coins are needed to rebuild a building like this on the open space?"
"If you only build a house without caring, you only need three hundred to five hundred gold coins!"
Zhang Ziqiang calculated briefly that this building was not like the tall buildings before, with very little construction cost, so he made up his mind and said, "Since that's the case, I will hand over the Nanban City to you to rebuild. Your Chamber of Commerce must strictly follow the planning map. I invested the land, your Chamber of Commerce invested manpower and material resources. The newly built city was divided into five parts, and I will take the fourth place. You will take the first place and sell it together. Even if you buy it yourself, it will be carried out according to the market price. But you and I have the right to purchase it first, how about it?"
Gabriel calculated briefly. From the perspective of cost, he was not at a loss, but it was a little worth it to buy real estate after making such great efforts. However, this move was also considered to be a favor for Mr. Hou, which brought the relationship between the Chamber of Commerce and the Lord. From this perspective, it was worth it! He was about to agree, but Zhang Ziqiang said again: "The materials removed from the house are now subject to your Chamber of Commerce. Those who can be used can be reused. New houses must be of quality!"
Now that’s it, there’s no need to forget it. The material money can be saved by more than half. This is equivalent to the fact that he can get one tenth of the southern half of the city by organizing manpower to build a building. As for manpower, are slave merchants still afraid of not having slaves? How can such a good thing be done?
"Mr. Hou... Thank you, Mr. Hou. We will build the southern half city as required!" Gabriel was so excited that he was incoherent.
Zhang Ziqiang patted his shoulder and said, "Well, do it well!" He patted him and the largest real estate development group in the entire kingdom and even the mainland in the future!
When the nobles heard this good thing, they wanted to join the city construction work, but when they thought that they would do their best to develop the new mountain, their funds and manpower could not be dispersed, they could only do it. They couldn't help but think that these civilians were really lucky and met a stupid lord! But this lord was so stupid.
Zhang Ziqiang didn't know that his money-spending action won a "cutely stupid" evaluation. He also had his plans. The land is dead, people are alive, and activate dead resources. This is the most basic business method on the earth. At this time, he saw that everyone had no objection, so he said: "Since everyone has nothing else, I have to announce a few decrees!"
When everyone heard that it was the lord's order, they all took their place seriously and looked forward to it.
"1. All government officials in the former kingdom were abolished, and all mayors and officials of each town were abolished."
When the nobles heard this, although Rosidin was now the private place of the lord and his confidants were responsible for their own responsibility, they were prepared in their hearts, but the current officials were basically from their family and they were still a little uncomfortable.
"Second, the newly established government trio, consisting of Marquis Bill, Earl Musen and one assigned by me. These three have the right to handle all matters within the county and have the right to appoint and remove all officials outside the Jicha Department. Any government orders must be agreed to by all three people before they can be enforced. If only two people agree and one person does not agree, they will be reported to me to decide, and these three people are only responsible to me."
Bill and Benson were stunned at first, then lowered their heads and didn't know what they were thinking. Everyone's eyes suddenly became eager when they looked at Bill and Benson.
"Three, this county is divided into three towns and one city, and the county town and its surrounding areas are included in the county town management. The three-person group divides the area. The county town has one city lord, and each town has one town mayor. There are also ten departments including the government office, the Industry and Agriculture Department, the Commerce Department, the Finance Department, the Tax Department, the Education Department, the Population and Marriage Department, the Civil Affairs Department, the Traffic and Health Department, and the Census Department."
"Fourth, the Jichao Department is directly responsible for me, and all the personnel are designated by me. They are responsible for the illegal and irregular behavior of officials and nobles, but they only have the right to investigate and cannot directly arrest people. They are also responsible for collecting people's sentiments."
Bill's eyes lit up when he heard this, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Ziqiang. He thought to himself, this lord is not simple.
"I will post these four decrees in total, the specific matters and number of personnel in each department, as well as the salaries of officials in each department, tomorrow. Do you have any more to add?"
Now, there were people from other counties and people from the Aidra family who occupied a lot of positions. When the Lord came, he helped us and other local nobles. What else would you be dissatisfied with?
"We will obey the Lord's orders!"
"Okay! Everyone has been hungry after talking for so long. Let's go to have a meal there."
Everyone followed Zhang Ziqiang to the banquet hall and communicated with each other excitedly. Bill and Benson were surrounded by people! Zhang Ziqiang stood Amilia and Xiao Cui on the left and right. Everyone knew that these were the wives of the two lords.
Xiao Cui was very excited when she attended this banquet for the first time. She grabbed Zhang Ziqiang's left hand and did not dare to move, for fear that she would accidentally lose her manners and put shame on the master's face. Zhang Ziqiang patted Xiao Cui's hand and said to Amili: "Call Bossa over here, I will help her choose a marriage."
Bossa had been waiting under the ground for a long time. When the girls saw that her clothes seemed to have never been married, they were very familiar with the lord's wife, and could not guess her identity, so they dared not talk to her casually. She was alone and bored. At this time, they called her over shortly after seeing Zhang Ziqiang coming.
"Master Hou, are you looking for me?"
"Well, didn't you promise to help you find a good marriage for you? Who did you like? There is a third-class marquis in the territory, eleven counts, all here. It seems that you are old and it is impossible not to get married. Why don't you marry the heir of Marquis Bill, so?"
When Betha saw that Bill was the oldest and married his heir, he couldn't wait long to be the first-class countess, so he was not happy and nodded shyly and let Zhang Ziqiang make the decision.
Zhang Ziqiang asked Xiao Cui to come over from the crowd to invite Bill. Bill was smiling and blushed, and was surrounded by everyone and sweating heavily. Seeing the lord "Madam Ru" coming to invite him in person, he hurried over.
"Lord, are you looking for me?"
"Marriage Bill, let me introduce you to it. This is my wife Amilia, this is Xiao Cui." Zhang Ziqiang smiled and pointed at Betha, who was lowered his head, and said, "This is my wife's little sister. She has an unmarried marriage. I wonder if the next heir of Marriage Bill's family has ever been married?"
The Bills are sophisticated. Zhang Ziqiang said this directly. How could he not understand? Lord Lord wants to marry him. His heir has been chosen and has already become a child. The youngest son has been married for many years, but he immediately replied: "Lord Lord Lord Lord, my next heir is not married." The heir can choose another one from his grandchildren and marry him. But after passing through this village, there is no such store!
Zhang Ziqiang heard him speak the five words "next generation heir" very well. When he looked at his age, he understood what he meant after thinking about it. He patted Bill on the shoulder - he now likes the feeling of patting people's shoulders. The chairman of the group had also patted him on the shoulders before. At that time, he felt that he had unique courage - he said to Bill: "Then I will take the initiative and marry my little sister to your next heir. We will be relatives in the future. You have to worry more about the matters in the county."
He also spoke very seriously about the words "heir" and "relatives", and Bill immediately felt that his whole body was lighter. As the saying goes, "A man is old and a ghost is old and a ghost is old." With Bill's experience, how could he not know what he means?
Bill replied excitedly, "Lord, I will send someone to give the betrothal gift tomorrow!" After he said that, he turned around and shouted loudly to everyone in the hall, "Everyone is quiet, please come to my house for a banquet tomorrow night. Just now, Lord Lord was a matchmaker and married the lord's wife's younger sister to my exiled grandson. I would like to take this opportunity to tell you that I won't give the invitation tomorrow, hahaha..."
Zhang Ziqiang laughed and scolded in his heart. This old guy would take the opportunity to create momentum! Bossa's cheeks were also red, and he was satisfied and went back to the back house. Benson and several counts looked at Bill with complicated eyes. Why didn't the Lord Lord choose them? Why is this old guy so lucky! He thought again, yes, Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Only fifteen years old, Benson would seize the opportunity, so he hurriedly stepped forward and congratulated: "Congratulations to Marquis Bill! Lord Lord Lord I have a child who is only seventeen years old. I want to marry Lord Lord Lord, I wonder if it is possible?"
