Chapter 182: The idea expands the money
"See if you can do it!" When Jiang Xingchen said this, Duan Qingshi's face changed. Speaking such words in front of the most famous architectural family in the empire was a bit provocative.
"Jiang Xingchen is indeed well-known and amazing!" Duan Qingshi praised in his heart. This boy's behavior was not like a boy at all, and he was not affected by his previous intentional elevation.
"Then let's talk about it. Our Duan family is indeed not omnipotent. At least the super-high buildings are powerless!" Duan Tiechui spoke. Although it seemed humble, it had a strong sense of arrogance. If you kid creates any intentional difficulties such as castles in the air, we will certainly not be able to do it.
Jiang Xingchen smiled and said lightly: "The plan I am talking about is not the building above ground, but underground!"
He picked up a piece of white silk and Jiang Xingchen lowered his head to draw it.
"Underground! Is sewage discharge pipe? This is not difficult for us!" Duan Qingshi and his son looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths were raised.
But in a moment, Jiang Xingchen had already painted it and handed the white silk to the two of them.
The moment they saw the white silk, they were stunned. It was not that they were so complicated that only a few simple main pipes were drawn on the white silk. However, the size marked on the pipe scared the two of them.
"Three meters high and five meters wide! Are you playing with us? This is a sewage discharge pipeline or an underground fortification. This is a sewage discharge. If the sewage is washed for a long time, it will collapse sooner or later when it is dug out... Besides, can you use this kind of town? The underground sewage discharge pipeline in the imperial capital can only accommodate one person to climb over!"
Duan Qingshi twitched his lips, putting down the white silk, and said unhappily: "Sir Jiang, if you are not sincere, I don't have to discuss this business!"
"You don't think it's possible, right?" Jiang Xingchen said, still looking calm and gentle, "Indeed. It's unlikely to build such a drainage system now, and a small town does not need to do this. But once the city becomes bigger, this drainage system will be very important. If a heavy rain comes to the imperial capital..."
Jiang Xingchen was talking there, and the Duan family and his son were a little disdainful at first, but soon he gradually became impressed. Although Jiang Xingchen did not know much about architecture, he had read a lot of news about the previous life, including urban waterlogging, domestic sewage pollution, septic gas explosion, sewage diversion, etc.... These were all things that the Duan family and his son had never heard of before.
As time goes by, the Duan family and his son became more and more devoted to listening. Not to mention whether what Jiang Xingchen said can be realized, it is just a brand new structure and a brand new concept. It makes them feel that a skylight suddenly opens, and a wider space is vividly revealed in front of them.
Later, Jiang Xingchen talked more and more, and expressed his future expectations! For example, by building water towers and pipes, letting water flow into every household, connecting the sewer pipes to the house, etc. These made the Duan family and son stunned.
"In fact, sewage discharge pipelines seem to be impossible to build, but as long as there are brand new materials, sewage leakage can be completely avoided..." Jiang Xingchen said at the end.
"You said it easy, brand new materials. Not that easy!" Duan Tiehui shook his head.
"I'll find a way to find a way for the materials. We can cooperate in the future... Now this town doesn't need to be as I described. Just expand the drainage system as much as possible..." Then, Jiang Xingchen told him about his overall plan of the town.
The two sides talked in the room for an entire afternoon, and when the sun set, they walked out.
"Then let's make a decision. Let's go back and make a budget and draft an agreement. Let's sign it quickly. While the weather is not cold yet, start construction as soon as possible!" After leaving, Duan Qingshi stood still.
"Then I'll trouble you, I'll leave all my town to you!" Jiang Xingchen thanked with a smile.
Afterwards, the Duan family and his son did not delay and even had dinner, so they quickly left for preparation.
On the way back, Duan Tiechui said: "Father, do you think what Jiang Xingchen said is credible? Can he really make brand new building materials?"
"I don't believe it either! But the urban construction concepts he mentioned are worth our cooperation with him... Haha, this kid is really amazing. How could he know so much!" Duan Qingshi sighed.
"He is not simple!" Duan Tiehui said: "I don't know whether what he said can be realized, but we were unknowingly led by him. What originally had the upper hand finally turned into equal cooperation! Even the price was different from our expectations in advance!"
"In addition, I also think what he said is a bit unrealistic. There are no cities that do not require a wall to build a town. How can the enemy attack resist? It is not digging a moat... It is unlikely that he will just dig rivers to drain water, underground pipelines, etc., the initial investment is at least more than five million yellow crystal coins."
Duan Qingshi shook his head and sighed: "This son's skills are enough, but his eyes are not far enough! Jiang Xingchen's ideas are not something that ordinary people can say, and they are not nonsense when they hear them..."
At the beginning, he came here with the intention of making a lot of money, but after listening to Jiang Xingchen's urban construction concept, he changed his mind! Although he had some questions about not building the city wall, he valued Jiang Xingchen's design ideas more. Now the construction family has reached a bottleneck, and some construction outside the empire has been compressed by others. If they do not make any breakthroughs, they will only go to a downturn in the future! This time, cooperation with Jiang Xingchen is definitely an opportunity!
At this time, in Qingshan Village, the old man, Du Rushan, Han Xiaowu and others were also asking about the results of the negotiations in Jiang Xingchen.
When Jiang Xingchen said the final price, the old man smiled. He knew that this kid would never let the Duan family take advantage.
However, when they heard that Jiang Xingchen had not built a city wall, they were also surprised. How could there be no one who built a city without a city wall?
"Boy! You are not going to save money, right? Let me tell you, the city wall must be there. Although you are not on the front line, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be bandit robbery! Now you are a viscount, and the maximum limit for private soldiers is one thousand, so don't worry about not being able to defend..."
The old man advised him, and Du Rushan and others nodded. It is really not possible without a city wall!
Jiang Xingchen thought to himself: "I'm saving a lot of money! I originally thought that 4.6 million yellow crystal coins were almost the same, but after talking to them in the afternoon, I found out that the initial investment would be less than 5 million!"
In fact, Jiang Xingchen knew in his heart that in the era of cold weapons, city walls were a very important defensive measure! But in that case, the development of the city will definitely be restricted, and it will be very troublesome to continue to expand in the future.
In addition, he also had a general direction for future defense issues, so he made the decision to not have city walls and build an open town.
The old man could only sigh inwardly. This boy's stubbornness is famous. Once he decides, even ten wild bisons can't pull him back...
The construction family was moving very quickly. Within two days, the agreement was planned and people were brought over.
Seeing the words of the initial budget of 5 million yellow crystal coins, Jiang Xingchen couldn't help but suck his teeth and kept sighing. Building a city is a bottomless pit. He won a lot of money, but before he could get enough of it, he was gone!
If it weren't for the dividends from Zhaojia Pharmaceutical and Hongyuancheng Restaurant, he had raised five million yellow crystal coins. So, Jiang Xingchen was empty again. Fortunately, the grain harvest was good, so there was no need to worry about scolding! Han Xiaowu and the others didn't have to pay, and Du Rushan still owed him more than 100,000 yellow crystal coins.
However, in addition to building a new town, Meier spends money on going to school and taking medicine. There are also three hundred orcs who have wages, food, and more than three hundred slaves. The dividends of Zhaojia Pharmaceutical and the restaurant can be maintained at most. The little income of the musical instrument industry is not enough to be stuck.
"You have to make money! The teahouse has to be opened quickly. In addition, vegetable seeds should be a considerable income! The world's trading company has negotiated again, and Gou Yan can make a fortune... Just forget about Sun Sanqiang's debt, he can't afford to pay for the time being..."
While Jiang Xingchen was stinging money here, the Duan family brought a large number of craftsmen, and Xingchen led the construction of the new town in full swing.
Many people from the surrounding villages and towns came to watch. Although they were used to the big deals of Jiang Jue Jue, they were shocked to build a brand new town, and they were thinking: "How much does Jiang Jue Jue Jue have?"
As the construction of the new town begins, Jiang Xingchen will not worry about it, and everything will be left to the Duan family! He still has a lot to do, tour and open a teahouse...
At first, Jiang Xingchen only wanted to open three teahouses in Hongyuan City, Linshui City, and the imperial capital. But now it seems that he has to open another one, and his money is too tight. Jiang Xingchen is planning to open this family in the Yueying Kingdom, which is the most prosperous place for the four neutral kingdoms and the place where Meier will learn in the future.
Therefore, after completing the Erhu design, Jiang Xingchen temporarily put down the design of the suona and began to design the internal structure of the teahouse! He asked Sun Sanqiang to send someone to the imperial capital and Linshui City to choose a location, and then decorate according to the design! Then he wrote a letter to Qin Manwu, asking her to help find a store in the Yueying Kingdom!
Not only these, the collection of honey must be accelerated, but also sunflower seeds must be taught to the villagers how to cook them. The tracking, stage design, training personnel, Jiang Xingchen is almost busy...
In late September, Jiang Xingchen arranged everything in the village! Although the sunflowers were not yet mature, they could make do with half of the bakery and let the villagers learn it! At this time, he took Mei'er and trained actors to set off together and headed to Hongyuan City.
The tour is about to begin, so he has to rehearse with Wanrou. Although he has brought back the repertoire and stage effect design by several judges, he is the only one who can do it now.
Just as Jiang Xingchen brought Mei'er back to Hongyuan City, the news that the Bauhinia Song and Dance Troupe would start a tour was also released! It soon caused a strong response in various parts of the empire! (To be continued...)
