Chapter 226, Recreating Heaven (11)

Camellia and rose-red flowers seem to be waving to pedestrians on the roadside, come in and take a look.

The yellow orchid emits bursts of fragrance in the wind, like a gorgeous woman blooming her charm.

In front is a moon-shaped gate, with the Xiangguo Garden above the gate.

What kind of garden is this? Why are there such bright flowers, and there are constant sounds like orioles coming from inside? Apparently there is a woman inside?

He hesitated a few times, wanting to go in but not daring to go in.

But he saw many people coming in and out here. Why could they come and go at will? Were they invited by the owner?

There was a guard here. When he saw Chen Xingquan wandering here and looking around, he couldn't help but asked: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Chen Xingquan was startled, hesitated and said: "I am Chen Xingzhi (full name Chen Xing) from Chengdu. He came to Jintang County to do business. When he saw the beautiful scenery here, he was a little excited."

When the guard heard that he was from Chengdu, he couldn't help but frowned. Hearing that he was doing business here, he nodded and asked, "How long have you been doing business in Jintang County?"

Are you checking the household registration? It seems not. Does it have anything to do with the garden?

Chen Xingquan thought and carefully answered: "Not long, only three days."

The guard said oh and asked emphatically: "Are you from Chengdu?" Chen Xingquan nodded in agreement.

The guard looked at him and asked, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"

Chen Xingquan couldn't help but be overjoyed. He had already wanted to go in, so he nodded and said yes.

The guard said: "If you are from Jintang County, you can visit for free. But if you are from Chengdu, you will have to pay ten copper coins."

Chen Xingquan couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't expect that Jintang County was free of charge and the treatment enjoyed by Jintang County was too good. No, Jintang County is under the jurisdiction of Chengdu.

The guard seemed to know what he was thinking and said with a smile: "Just because you are from Chengdu, the fee is reduced by half. If you are not from Chengdu, the fee will be 20 cents."

It turned out that this was the case. Chen Xingquan suddenly felt calm and took out twenty coins from his sleeve. The guard gave him a bamboo sign, raised his hand and said with a salute: "Sir, this is the payment voucher. Keep it and come out and give it to me. I wish you the best."

Enjoy your viewing."

This garden in Zhaoping is similar to the parks of later generations, and was built for the public to enjoy.

In order to increase the popularity of Jintang County, Zhao Ping stipulated that visitors with registered residence in Jintang County would be free of charge, while those with registered residence in Chengdu would be halved, and those with non-local residence would be charged the full amount.

Even so, Xiangguo Park is full every day.

Gardens in the Song Dynasty were only built by powerful families, not the government, so there was no such thing as a park.

Chen Xingquan went in and saw that the whole place was full of people. It was difficult to even take a step.

The entire garden area is about ten acres, with lakes, pavilions, and corridors connecting the surrounding areas.

Green bamboo, Guanyin bamboo, yellow oak orchid trees, yellow oak trees, osmanthus trees, plum blossom trees, cypress trees, pine trees, etc. complement each other, making people intoxicated.

There are not only yellow orchids, roses, roses, and lotuses, but also crabapples, orchids, daffodils, azaleas, camellias, and even the queen of flowers, peonies and peonies.

These flowers are piled up in categories, allowing people to appreciate them carefully and slowly.

Although Chen Xingquan is also a businessman, he had studied for ten years before becoming a businessman and also had a special hobby for flowers.

Normally he wouldn't want to move when he saw three of them, but when he saw so many flowers, he almost knelt down.

To be able to see so many flowers, not only is it worth twenty cents, but it is also worth spending twenty cents.

He thought for a while and realized that only Master Zhao had the energy and financial resources to stack these flowers together in the form of a park.

Because Master Zhao was not only a world-famous scholar, but also had the most famous workshop in the world, and was also escorted by the Sichuan Army and the security team.

After spending two hours visiting Xiangguo Garden, he came out of the garden reluctantly because the people behind him kept urging those in front to walk.

After visiting commercial areas and admiring Xiangguo gardens, he came to a livable area in Jintang County.

Villa complexes full of poetic and picturesque scenery, such as Moonlight over the Lotus Pond and Sanqing Bamboo, have sprung up in Jintang County.

These are all independent courtyards with green bamboos, sweet-scented osmanthus trees, yellow orchid trees on the first floor and one bottom floor, and even a small rockery pond.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if you can’t enjoy a high-end community. There are also affordable and high-quality communities such as Tongxinyuan and Qinghua Court for you to choose from.

There are also green bamboos, sweet-scented osmanthus trees, and yellow orchid trees here, but there are no rockeries or small ponds, and there are hundreds of houses in some places without independent courtyards.

Chen Xingquan suddenly came up with an idea to buy a villa community and live in it in Jintang County.

Moreover, he just found out that as long as he buys a house here, he can become a Jintang County household registration.

But I have a workshop, unlike ordinary people who can move it at will.

Because vinegar must be fermented, this requires space and thousands of jars containing the vinegar embryos to be exposed to the sun for more than half a year.

Thinking of this, he hesitated. In the long run, Chengdu's future lies in Jintang.

However, moving it to the workshop was extremely difficult, which left him with a dilemma.

While he was thinking, he came to an ancestral hall before he knew it.

This is a living ancestral hall, and there is an endless stream of incense every day. Not only locals line up on wheels to burn incense, but also outsiders line up on wheels to burn incense.

They all want to come to soak up the spirit and immortality of the ancestral hall, hoping to bring good luck to themselves and their families and friends.

In the ancestral hall, a boy was sitting in the official palace. In front of him were miniature wooden sculptures of the whole city of Jintang County, holding a brush in his hand, looking thoughtful.

There was a maid next to him who was holding a tea cup on a wooden tray and looking at him attentively.

There is also a young woman in the ancestral hall. Next to her are pianos, chess, calligraphy and paintings. She is teaching several female disciples how to play the piano.

This ancestral hall is the Zhao family ancestral hall. The ones outside are naturally Zhao Ping and Cuizhu, and the ones inside are of course my mother and her female disciples.

Most of the people who come here are women and children, and those who are childless hope to have a son like Zhao Ping.

For those who have given birth to children, they hope that their sons will be as smart as Zhao Ping, and their daughters hope to find a husband like Zhao Ping.

For children who are naughty and ignorant, Zhao Ping is the best school role model.

Unfortunately, he couldn't do anything yet and had to let the people of Jintang County do this.

Zhao Ping couldn't laugh or cry about this. He didn't expect that not only would he have a statue in the Erlang Temple, but he would also have a temple built for himself.

After visiting the ancestral hall, he spent two coins to buy a copy of "Da Song Zhonghua Newspaper".

He sat on the chairs on both sides of the avenue, taking a break and opening the newspaper to read.

The newspaper not only contains news about the selection of the top ten workshops and top ten stores, but also mentions that a chamber of commerce has been established in Jintang County.

He is a businessman, so he is naturally interested in business.

He looked carefully and realized that this chamber of commerce was an association that specialized in dealing with merchants.

It is not purely folk in nature, but has a certain official background, because the president is Zhao Feiyang, the owner of Yixin Hardware Workshop.

Zhao Feiyang was not only a casual official from the ninth rank, but also had a very good relationship with Zhao Ping, the current chief registrar.

In other words, the background of this chamber of commerce is supported by Director Zhao.

Chen Xingquan was immediately enlightened, bought some small gifts, and came to Yixin Workshop to find shopkeeper Zhao Feiyang.

Zhao Feiyang warmly received Chen Xingquan in the public room, tea was immediately served, and the two chatted while drinking tea.

Chen Xingquan told Zhao Feiyang his thoughts. After hearing what he said, he said it didn't matter. As long as the workshop was moved to Jintang County, the government would provide subsidies.

This means that the moving expenses will be paid by the government, so there is no need to worry about this.

Chen Xingquan couldn't help but be overjoyed. He returned to Chengdu to discuss with his partner Li Mingjian and decided to split Taofeng Teju in two.

Chen Xingquan moved his share to Jintang County, and Li Mingjian continued to run workshops in Chengdu.

When Li Mingjian heard that Chen Xingquan was moving away, he was reluctant to leave and his eyes were red. However, Chen Xingquan had already made up his mind and finally agreed.

In fact, Li Mingjian feels that a partnership between two people is always less comfortable than being in control by oneself.

However, Chen Xingquan took the majority, and he had always kept this idea in his heart.

Now that Chen Xingquan has taken the initiative to split up the family, he is naturally very happy.

However, the two had been partners for more than ten years, and Chen Xingquan did not treat him badly. Naturally, he still felt a little reluctant to let go.

Jintang County is full of factories like Chen Xingquan that have relocated from other places.

This is of course the result that Zhao Ping expected. His strategy of building a nest to attract the golden phoenix finally succeeded.

Seeing that many workshops from other places came to Jintang County to compete for quotas, local workshops and shops were extremely angry.

But rats have their own ways, and snakes have their own ways, so they naturally have their own methods.

Most of these workshops and shops have backgrounds. How can they survive without backgrounds?

Local squires and elders wrote to the government, requesting that the top ten workshops and top ten shops be selected, and that Jintang County be given priority.

The reason is naturally very simple and clear. Only local workshops and shops can take root here for a long time.

Although this statement may exclude foreigners, it does make sense.

In fact, Zhao Ping has already considered this, and now he is following public opinion and requires that the qualifications for selection must have been in Jintang County for more than three years.

Zhao Ping didn't want these out-of-town businessmen to come to Jintang County and leave, which would not only affect the reputation of Jintang County, but also affect his own reputation.

In order to retain these foreign businessmen and workshops, Zhao Ping also came up with a policy that these top ten workshops and top ten shops are not tenure-track and can only be managed for three years.

If these workshops and merchants are sincere in doing business and setting up workshops in Jintang County, they can also participate fairly in the selection three years later.

As for whether you will stay after the selection, Zhao Ping cannot force them to stay.

But I believe that after three years, even if Zhao Ping drives them away, they will not be willing to leave.

According to the development speed of Zhaojiazhuang in Changyuan County, Jintang County may become a real Jintang.

Not only is it richest in the world, but it also has a large population and strong spending power. Where can I find a place to do business in Jintang County?

After ten days of excitement, the top ten workshops and the top ten selections in Jiading were announced.

Not only did Jintang County care about this, Chengdu Prefecture cared about it, but the whole of Sichuan also cared about it, and finally some people in the Song Dynasty also cared about it.

It's just unclear whether this kind of concern is a kind concern or a malicious concern.
