Chapter 6 Letter from the Capital (1)

In just one day, Yang Zheng sold twenty houses that cost only 10,000 gold in total for 20 million gold coins.

Yang Zheng looked at the gold coins piled up all over the house, but he didn't feel excited at all. The richer the local snakes mean how severe the exploitation of the people of Wigolan were. Each of these gold coins was covered with blood. In order to control the mineral veins, Jiaolan's local snakes exchanged their lives dead in thousands of floods to exchange for these gold coins.

When the local snakes sent gold coins, Yang Zheng really had the intention of killing.

He endured it because he knew that Jiao Lan needed stability the most now, and the entire Weigulan needed long-term stability, so that he could make sufficient preparations before the disaster came in three years.

In addition to these 20 million gold coins, the public assets of the Jiaolan Iron Society, and Maxim's personal assets are 60 million gold coins, of which Maxim personally has more than 40 million gold coins. The wealth he has accumulated over 50 years of control over the Iron Society is really amazing.

The money temporarily alleviated Yang Zheng's financial crisis.

After Yang Zhengbing won the Jiao Lan Iron Tools Conference without bloodshed, the Obsidian family finally accepted the olive branch that Yang Zheng had thrown to them.

Obsidian Hua served as the chief financial officer of the lord's office.

The cement business that Yang Zheng and Hei Yao and Hua conspired to establish was also completed on a date.

The function of cement is undoubtedly. Many places in Yang Zheng’s reconstruction of the territory used cement, newly built roads, newly built dams, and newly built houses. These are undoubtedly living signs, attracting all kinds of merchants entering Vigolan after the disaster.

Yang Zheng also took great pains to attract "foreign investment".

In addition to providing extremely favorable tax rates to foreign merchants, he also proposed that as long as merchants invest in buildings in the Wigolan border, they would receive a 50% discount on cement prices.

This is a monopoly. The cost of cement is actually very low. However, due to the monopoly and Yang Zheng’s shipment is not large, the price of cement has been raised to an unimaginable situation. The cost of a cement-made house costs 10,000 gold coins, which is almost the same as the cost of marble.

At such a high price, there is still a shortage of supply. Even Wangdu has letters to ask about cement.

For a time, construction trends emerged in various parts of Wigolan, and various large and small towns expanded rapidly. The booming construction industry required a large amount of labor to fill it. The daily population of Wigolan was more than 30,000, and Wigolan entered a period of economic takeoff.

In fact, after every major disaster, Vigolan's economy will take off because its natural advantages are too huge. If it is not for a flood, a dream capital could be easily built here.

This time, Yang Zheng just made this soar faster.

He grasped the two profitable industries of iron ore and cement. The funds of the lord's mansion were increasing with numb numbers, and it refreshed a quantity almost every day. Obsidian Hua told Yang Zheng that if this continues, you will definitely be the richest man in Weirong Country in less than two months.

Yang Zheng was not blinded by wealth, the big tree attracted wind, and the huge profits of cement would sooner or later make many greedy nobles jealous.

He quickly contacted Sean, who was far away in the royal capital, and even contacted the queen, so that the treasury would also provide some funds. Yang Zheng was preparing to find a backer for the cement trading company.

Sean naturally would not refuse the pie that fell from the sky. After Yang Zheng wrote to him and attached a detailed plan, Speaker Sean rushed to Vigolan the next day to discuss the joint venture with Yang Zheng. The wealth list Yang Zheng listed for him definitely shocked the knowledgeable Sean.

He looked at the gentle young man in front of him, unable to believe what kind of thoughts were hidden under his quiet eyes.

"Why do you want to find me? You can do it alone." Old Sean still tempted Yang Zheng.

Yang Zheng's answer was also very satisfying, not artificial or hypocritical: "There is a proverb in my hometown: greed is not enough to swallow an elephant. I am very clear about my status and the wealth that can match. Moreover, I think that if this industry wants to continue to monopolize and develop, there are only a few people in Weirong Kingdom who can support it. Speaker is one of them, and I am just a friend of Xiao Shane."

Yang Zheng did not compliment, but said it very realistically, especially when it comes to Xiao Shaun, a soft light flashed in Old Shaun's eyes. Old Shaun knew that he was old and he knew his son's personality very well. It would be unlikely that he would take over in the future. He must find a reliable retreat for his son. Qingzha, who has the top power, is very cruel. Old Shaun knows very well that if he dies, Xiao Shaun may not be able to deal with the attacks from the outside world.

Is the young man in front of you a reliable entrusted person?

Smart, agile, intelligent, and even powerful force.

Such an excellent young man would be so worry-free if he was his son. Old Sean's absurd thoughts flashed just a moment. He is a very old-fashioned person with strong self-control.

He stretched out his hand, and Yang Zheng also stretched out his hand. The grip of the old and the young represents the official launch of a huge money-making machine.

Under the care of Old Sean, the cement trading company began to leave Vigolan, using Vigolan as its radiation point, and gradually erode the Weirong Kingdom's building materials market share.

The officials of Juma Province suddenly stepped down in large numbers, as if they were warning some restless guys in Vigolan, the new lord, who had someone on top of him.

While gaining huge wealth, Yang Zheng began to recruit water conservancy experts from outside.

With sufficient funds, the Wigolan flood control project has taken a step forward.

All the main rivers are widened and elevated, and some shallow towns are relocated to higher terrain mountain cities.

Yang Zheng’s largest project is to dig an extremely large artificial lake in the center of Wigolan. After completion, this project will be even larger than Loch Ness, Tamarg County, the source of the upper stream of Wigolan, and the water storage capacity is of course very amazing.

With this large artificial lake and reasonable guidance, Vigolan will no longer be left alone before the disaster comes.

The people of Wigolan seemed to see what is unique about the current lord.

No lord is as rich as him and has private investment in so many public welfare undertakings.

The wages received by workers participating in flood control projects are very generous, and the taxes in the county are low, and people's living standards are incomparable to the past.

The people's minds are actually very simple. The lord who makes them live a good life will face wherever they are. Moreover, Yang Zheng's style is very different from that of ordinary nobles. He often appears on the construction site with his own actions, talks cordially with the people, and even takes off his shirt and works with the people.

In the eyes of the nobles, these behaviors may be ruthless or even vulgar, but the people just take this trick. Yang Zheng is affectionately called "civilian lord" by the people.

Sometimes it is so simple to obtain the people's hearts.

Not to mention Yang Zheng's hypocrisy, although he had the element of showing off, his efforts were real. The huge profits from cement and iron ore were enough to make Yang Zheng one of the richest people in the Weirong Kingdom, but only the financial officer Hei Oshi. Hua knew that the daily expenses of the lord's mansion could be described as poverty. The lord's daily food was treated the same as his subordinates' personal guards, and he also received a salary system. Except for receiving five gold coins a month, Yang Zheng had never used a penny in the lord's inner treasury. All the huge wealth was invested in territory construction and people's welfare.

This made Hei Yu and Hua admire him very much.

Besides, isn’t politics just a show? Yang Zheng’s behavior is worthy of the four words “selfless”.

That is in this big form.

With the continuous publicity of merchants, the prosperity of Wigolan became the most dazzling star in the southern part of Weirong.

Yang Zheng's promotion seems inevitable.

Half a year later.

Old Sean wrote a letter, which he proposed and approved by the parliament, and prepared to let Yang Zheng take over the Juma Province and be granted the title of Marquis.

When he received the letter, Yang Zheng was confused for a moment and did not even hear the congratulatory voice.

While the territory was achieving great success, Yang Zheng did not feel any joy in his heart.

All he had was confusion. He felt that he was getting deeper and deeper in a mud. When he was busy with territory construction every day, this feeling was still lurking. He only occasionally dreamed of it at midnight to spy on him. Now the territory is stable. When he received the so-called fruit, he realized that this fruit was not what he wanted.

What does he want?

Marquis, a larger territory.

No, it is definitely not these, Yang Zheng's voice was completely denied.

What did he want to do? He didn't like this kind of life, so Yang Zheng decided to leave.

After a period of observation, he found that the Obsidian family was fully qualified to serve as the lord, and even had an innate advantage over him in developing Vigolan, and they were the indigenous people of Vigolan.

Now, it's time to fulfill your promise.

Yang Zheng decided to give the Wigolan he created to the Obsidian family to fulfill his promise to restore his title.

Before going to the capital, he found Obsidian Hua and explained his intention to go.

Obsidian Watton was shocked. He thought Yang Zheng was testing him and hurriedly said, "Lord, I see all the changes you have brought to Vigolan over the past six months. To be honest, I admire you very much in my heart. I can't ask about your selflessness. I am willing to represent the Obsidian family to be loyal to you. Please don't doubt my sincerity. Only Lord Lord, you can bring Vigolan's long-term prosperity."

Yang Zheng shook his head, he stood up, grabbed Obsidian with both hands, and said sincerely: "Mr. Hua, please listen to me, the idea of ​​leaving was not just today. I have lived this idea for a long time. If it weren't for some bonds, I might have left long ago. Now the construction of Vigolan has been on track. As long as there is no big problem, you will be able to deal with the flood in three years. Speaker Sean is our partner. Although he is a cunning person, he has my care. As long as you give him enough benefits every year, he will not make things difficult for you. Of course, your eyes must also be bright. If the upper structure really changes, be careful not to stand in the wrong team. Sometimes, give up some of the benefits to gain more benefits."

Only then did Obsidian Hua realize that Yang Zheng was really leaving. Obsidian Hua's heart beat violently. Yang Zheng put the real opportunity for the Obsidian family to take off. How could he not be moved?

The momentary change in his eyes also fell into Yang Zheng's eyes. Yang Zheng did not think that utilitarianism was something that everyone had, and this was not a sin.

"When I go to the capital, I will propose to the parliament that you will take over my position," Yang Zheng gently patted Hei Yu. Hua's shoulder: "Do it well, I'll be optimistic about you."

Obsidian Hua opened his mouth. He wanted to reject Yang Zheng's kindness, but the "no" jumped to his throat and could no longer make any progress.

Yang Zheng smiled and said with a heart-wrenching smile: "Don't feel embarrassed. There is a letter here. Please take it. When I send the news back from the king's capital, you can show my personal guards. My subordinates, I am used to me and I, and I don't really respect people. Be grateful. If they really don't want to do it, I hope you give them some money to ensure their life for the rest of their lives."

Obsidian Hua Chong focused his attention.
