Chapter 1712: The secret of Duke Zhenguo
Everyone was not interested in this tall building at all.
When it was first built, people thought it was a stupa.
Because in this era, people's impression of tall buildings is probably related to stupas.
Later I discovered that this building is different from the pagoda.
Building such a tall building is not a full meal?
No one knows what medicine is selling in Fang Jifan's gourd.
But Fang Jifan immediately took the lead and entered the unfinished building.
The main framework has been completed.
However, the internal modification will take many days.
The first one to enter was the hall on the first floor. Fang Jifan immediately said, "There will be tiled on this building, not only on the floor, but also on the wall. Come on, follow me."
I turned over a wall and it was still a rough place, but... a row of strange doors appeared.
Someone is pushing the door open.
This place was just a space of one meter in radius. Fang Jifan took the lead in and others flocked in. But there were too many people, but they couldn't squeeze it out. Then someone outside closed the door.
"This is the elevator." Fang Jifan explained: "The head of this elevator box is pulled up by a solid cable, and the rope is connected with a special pulley. Here, special personnel will raise the elevator and pull it down."
While speaking, the elevator really moved.
Everyone inside looked terrible.
Whenever you arrive at a floor, the elevator will temporarily stay, and then a dedicated person closes the door, and then the elevator will continue to the next floor.
This is human lifting.
What the Ming Dynasty lacked the most was manpower.
There are seven elevator groups in the entire building, each elevator group is allocated five human resources, and they are not stopped at all, up and down each floor.
Of course... it takes a cost to do so. This is why even Xishan New City has built more than eight floors of high-rise buildings.
At the end, the elevator finally opened, which was the top floor of the entire building.
Fang Jifan stepped out of the lifting ladder. Although the other floors were not decorated and were still under construction, here... they have been urgently allocated personnel to modify them.
There is a long corridor in front, with tiles on the four walls and floors of the corridor.
Against the wall are kerosene lamps. The lights of the lights and the refraction of the lights by the ceramic tiles make the lights here bright.
After passing the corridor, I saw a sign here.
The sign says the four words "Xishan Money House".
Suddenly, the people who came upstairs were in an uproar. Look at me, look at you, and whisper.
Fang Jifan said: "When the building is completed, Xishan Money House will be moved here. The entire floor here will be the office of Xishan Money House. Not only that, the 29th floor is Xishan Jianye; the 28th floor is Xishan Coal Industry; the 27th floor is Xishan Iron Industry..."
As soon as this statement was spoken, it inevitably caused noise.
You should know... Xishan's industries are closely linked to many transactions.
Merchants need to borrow money and repay the loan, so they must go to Xishan Money House to go through the procedures.
Some people need to build workshops and need a lot of coal and iron, and most of them buy from Xishan. If the quantity is large, they will inevitably deal with it.
Fang Jifan said again: "In the past, Xishan occupied a large area, and many office places were scattered everywhere. It was inconvenient to run and manage them. But now, all the industries in Xishan are here, and you can work at any time upstairs and downstairs. Wouldn't that be nice?"
When you enter this Xishan Money House, it covers a huge area and is full of brightness. Almost all sides are made of glass. In addition, it is on a high place, with plenty of light. In this huge Xishan Money House, there are wooden tables in front of it, rows of information storage cabinets, pens, ink, paper and ink, all of which are available.
On both sides are separated small public housing units, which are obviously for the officials or shopkeepers.
"The essence of buying and selling is to communicate whether there is or whether there is no one, or whether there is no one, so there is no one, so there is a transaction. But how do you know that there is no one? This is the foundation of this building, where everyone gathers together to work, not only can it facilitate transactions, but also save a lot of land. In the future, all industries in Xishan will settle here, and other commercial banks will also move in. Everyone...you see..."
Fang Jifan came to an end, and at the end was a large piece of glass. Looking up from the glass, the entire Xishan New City fell at his feet.
Many people followed and stood here, and they even felt rare.
Zhu Houzhao looked left and right. He was brave. He went to the glass and gently smashed it with his fist, making a thumping sound. Then, Zhu Houzhao began to increase his strength, knocking the glass with a clanging sound.
But everyone was frightened to the point of being ashamed of the glass, fearing that the glass would break.
Fang Jifan pulled his face down: "That...that..."
Zhu Houzhao turned around and looked very serious: "Is this glass reliable?"
Fang Jifan coughed: "This is...the glass is made of...it is easy to break."
However, this thing has always been a waste of time. Fang Jifan quickly turned the topic elsewhere: "Of course, today I just want to take you here. I am afraid that there will be two years left for this building. What improvements will be made in the past two years? It is still unknown. Please come here today, and I will give you a benefit."
Everyone just wanted to move in with big business banks such as Xishan Money House.
A keen person immediately realized that if his business can work in the same building as Xishan Money Village and Xishan Jianye's business, it will definitely be of great help to his goodwill.
What are the things that big guys take care of themselves every day, sit in the best carriage, wear the latest sunglasses and big gold chains? Isn’t it just to let others know their strength?
If this building is really as Zhenguo said, then this building will inevitably become a landmark for the entire Xishan New City and even the entire capital, which will be of great benefit to one's own business.
Such a building is naturally not suitable for living, but everyone is a businessman. In the final analysis, it is to make money. If you can make money, other things... are trivial matters.
But when I heard Fang Jifangu say that this was two years later, I couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Since two years later...what are you talking about now?
Liu Kuan and other Hanlin and the Censor also followed with shamelessness.
They complained in their hearts that the building was all of strange and erotic things, which were not practical at all. While stretching their necks, they saw Fang Jifan had arrived in the public room. They took a map from the public room and spread it out.
Just when everyone was confused, Fang Jifan said: "This new city has sold tens of thousands of mansions. The future plans will accommodate 500,000 households, or even more. Please see, here... here is 300 acres of land, which does not cover a large area, but do you know, how many households will be moved in here soon?"
This location is close to the building.
The merchants frowned.
Fang Jifan said, "There are 7,960 households. This family is calculated as the minimum of four or five people. Then, this place with a mere 300 acres will have a population of 30,000 to 40,000 people. If you are in the new city and the old city, can you see such places?"
Fang Jifan's rhetoric question stunned everyone.
In this era, the population is not dense, after all... urbanization has just begun.
In ordinary prefectures and counties, there are only thousands of people who can live in the city. If the population is tens of thousands, it will be considered a big city.
Of course, Beijing City is an exception. During the Hongzhi period, the capital was already extremely prosperous. It can be said that it was growing more and more abundant, and its goods were full. The population had reached one million.
Of course, this million number is moisture.
After all... a large number of Beijing camps, the imperial guards, and many eunuchs were also among them.
The real residents are probably between 700,000 and 800,000.
This is almost the largest city in the world, no one can compare to it.
When the new policy began, a large number of foreign populations flowed in and a new city was built. This population also increased like a snowball, so that the population of the capital was around three million.
This is a terrible number.
However, these populations are scattered in every corner of the capital like a big pancake.
After all, the architectural density of this era is low, not to mention those nobles, they can easily build a mansion with a few acres of land, even ordinary people, who use a hundred feet of land to build a small courtyard to live in it.
In the past, if three families and more than a dozen people could live in.
Then... in Xishan New City, there can reach thirty households and hundreds of people.
Fang Jifan immediately asked: "I dare to ask about these 300 acres of land, thousands of households, and tens of thousands of people, whether they want food, clothing, housing and transportation, whether they want work, and whether they need expenses?"
This statement was definitely a huge effect. Many people were already shocked and seemed to understand something!
They looked at Fang Jifan in surprise... and suddenly felt a...shocking feeling.
Zhu Houzhao was still confused and didn't understand what Fang Jifan meant.
Liu Kuan and others were just picky, thinking that Fang Jifan could quickly stir up the house.
Fang Jifan continued, "Everyone, what is lacking in this world is never land. What is lacking is population. Only with people can there be wealth, business, and prosperity. Otherwise, why is the land in Golden Island worthless? Who is interested in going to Golden Island? In order to attract refugees, all those who defect to Golden Island gave 1,000 acres of land. This thousand acres of land was given for free. Is anyone interested in it?"
Everyone shook their heads like rattles, fearing that the Duke of Zhenguo would have any misunderstandings about him.
Fang Jifan narrowed his eyes: "Then... everyone, if you build a row of shops in these 300 acres of land, this one hundred and two or one zhang would not be expensive, right?"
One hundred taels...one zhang?
Liu Kuan subconsciously said, "Then it's better to grab it!"
But at this time...
Chapter completed!
