Chapter 351 Wait a few days for the news of the Orc Alliance
Jiang Xingchen introduced the Duan family and son to the lord's mansion and brewed two cups of fragrant tea with his own hands. The Duan family had heard of the reputation of tea, but he had never tasted it. After drinking it in one sip, he felt the fragrance left in his mouth and the aftertaste was endless.
"Good tea, good tea!" Duan Qingshi exclaimed repeatedly, and Duan Tiehui nodded repeatedly. They had heard that the price of this cup of tea was about a thousand yellow crystal coins. Jiang Xingchen took it out to entertain them, which was so grand.
After drinking one cup and soaking again, Jiang Xingchen then mentioned the matter of allowing the architectural family to continue to expand the territory.
When they mentioned this, their expressions immediately became serious. Duan Qingshi asked: "Sir Jiang, your territory has been expanded for twenty miles, and with a large wetland and hills, I am afraid it will be thirty miles away. I wonder how big you want to expand and whether there is any specific plan?"
Jiang Xingchen said: "The general plan is already available, but it is not specific yet. It is estimated that the expansion of the new city will be based on a road leading to wetlands and hills, and several areas will be spread outward, and then each area will be connected by a circular road..."
Listening to Jiang Xingchen's description, the Duan family and his son were sucking air conditioners. According to this plan, the project was more than ten times larger than the construction of the new town. The cost of the underground system alone was probably greater than that of the construction of the new town. The overall cost was definitely an astronomical figure, and they could not make a budget for the moment.
Gulu swallowed his saliva, and Duan Qingshi murmured: "That...Jiang Jue, your plan is too big. Even if our Duan family mobilizes all the craftsmen, it will be difficult for ten or eight years to complete..."
Jiang Xingchen waved his hand and said, "This is not a problem. Everyone in your building family has skills. Just be responsible for commanding. You will naturally recruit people to work hard!"
Duan Tiehui twitched the corner of his mouth and said to himself: "Recruiting people, how many people do you have to recruit for such a big project? The key is money, just the wages are getting bigger!"
Duan Qingshi hesitated for a moment and said, "Sir Jiang, even if he recruits people, I'm afraid that this project is too big. If it takes a long time, I'm afraid you can't wait!"
"It's okay. I also have a group of craftsmen here! In addition, I also consider that your Duan family has a little difficulty in taking on their own responsibility. I am going to bid outside and find more families who do construction!" Jiang Xingchen said with a smile.
"Uh!" The Duan family was stunned when they heard this. They were worried about money and time for such a big project, but if other construction families were allowed to do it together, they were extremely reluctant.
After pondering for a while, Duan Qingshi said, "This...Judge Jiang, to be honest, this project is really too big, but our Duan family cannot be built, it is mainly a problem of capital. We..."
Jiang Xingchen smiled, and he knew that the Duan family was hesitating because of money.
Gently pushing the teacup in front of him, Jiang Xingchen asked, "Old Master Duan, how does this tea taste?"
"Uh!" Duan Qingshi was stunned again and said about construction. Why did Jiang Xingchen ask about the tea again? It was too big to jump out.
"Okay! It's the best!" Duan Qingshi responded along Jiang Xingchen.
Jiang Xingchen said: "If I have a lot of money every year for such tea. Isn't it a problem?"
"Ah! There are many drinks containing spiritual energy every year..." The Duan family and son were a little straightforward. A cup of tea would be a thousand yellow crystal coins. If there were a lot of this thing, it would be a super Yuanshi mine!
Unable to help, the two of them cast doubtful eyes at Jiang Xingchen.
"Since I dare to open a teahouse, of course I have tea support!" Jiang Xingchen said lightly.
Duan Qingshi thought about it, but his expression was still a little hesitant. The three major teahouses make money. But even if the amount of tea is enough, it will be a year to turn it over, and the annual income of the teahouse is only 40 million. Such a large project is still not enough.
When they were still calculating whether the money was enough, Jiang Xingchen said again: "Before the project is started, the roads must be repaired first, and some bridges must be built... not only within the territory, but also to the three major territories in the east!"
"What?" Duan's father and son were shocked again. The road construction project was not small, especially the road leading to the three major territories in the east, each one was at least 60 miles up! In addition to the great project of the expansion of the new town... sweat suddenly oozed out of their foreheads.
Jiang Xingchen looked at the two of them and said, "We are old friends. You two might as well wait for a few days before making a decision. After the new town is completed, you builders have not enjoyed it yet!"
If they were to ordinary people, the two of them would be so hesitant, and they would have been anxious. If they gave them money to you, they would not work. If I go to someone else, some people would do it if you don’t work!
But Jiang Xingchen did not do this. First, he also understood the Duan family's difficulties. Once the project is started, the money will be spent continuously. If his funds do not keep up, even if the Duan family stops work, the craftsmen's wages will be paid. This is not a small amount. Second, the Duan family is doing beautiful work and the quality can be guaranteed. He doesn't know what other companies are doing, and he can't keep an eye on them every day.
The reason why he let the two stay for a few days was to let them see the monster feast. Such an impact would definitely be much more effective than he said how he had money.
"Okay! We'll think about it for two days, and I hope Master Jiang can understand!" The Duan family and son stood up.
Jiang Xingchen smiled and asked Han Xiaowu to lead them to the arranged residence...
As soon as they left, Grandpa Fu arrived. The first thing he said to him was to advise Jiang Xingchen not to make big moves first, as the money in the territory was a bit tight.
The money earned by the teahouse has been all in. The more profit is that it will be next May, which is still very early. In order to attract tourists, the performances of Bauhinia were all free, and the investment was increased. In the end, they only earned one hundred thousand. The vegetables in the autumn were not yet ripe, and the sunflower seeds were almost the same, but they had to be dedicated to the teahouse, and sesame oil and sesame paste were kept by themselves. Now only honey, candles, and goat sickle are left.
But even so, they can't stand the expenses. Those slaves and children need to be raised, more than 200 private soldiers need to be raised, and the wages of the orcs for food and drink, and the wages of hiring villagers in Xinzhen are not to be considered. Even two or three thousand tourists are enough to support them. The biggest one now is the more than 1,000 wolves, which are so edible.
Jiang Xingchen smiled and said, "Grandpa Fu, don't worry, you'll get rich soon, and it's a lot of money!"
Seeing Jiang Xingchen's appearance in his heart, Grandpa Fu breathed a little relieved and asked quickly: "Sir, what is the money? Are vegetables? It depends on the growth of the situation and it will not be collected until the end of October!"
Jiang Xingchen waved his hand and said, "How much does vegetables cost? It's only a few million!"
"Only a few million?" Grandpa Fu's eyes suddenly widened. Judging from what the Lord said, it seemed...
Jiang Xingchen nodded and said, "We will earn more than tens of millions in a few days!"
"Ten millions!" Grandpa Fu's eyes suddenly widened. What makes money like this? You have to know that the construction of the new town has only cost 23 million.
Grandpa Fu didn't know about the poison ape, and no one had any rumor about this matter. The value of a level 25 monster is incalculable. Once the news comes out, I still don't know how many warriors, families, and major forces are flocking to it. Compared with this, the cost of building a small town is indeed not as good as that.
When Grandpa Fu was stunned, Jiang Xingchen said: "Grandpa Fu, the territory is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more things to deal with. The amount of various fiscal expenditures is huge. It's so hard for you to work alone!"
"No hard work!" Grandpa Fu shook his head quickly: "The table and Arabic numerals invented by the Lord are clear at a glance.
"That's not simple either. The workload of the account inspection of each store is quite large. There are also the taxes of the empire, the various income and expenses of the territory... Pick a few people from those slaves and subordinates to help you. If you do it well, give them the identity of civilians!"
Jiang Xingchen's expression was very serious and his tone was very certain. Grandpa Fu was over 60 years old, and his physical strength and mental strength could not keep up with such a large workload. In less than a month after the New Town Celebration, he looked even older. If these jobs were put into the previous life, they would definitely be a large department, like thirty or forty people playing.
Seeing Jiang Xingchen's unquestionable tone, Grandpa Fu nodded. He was indeed exhausted these days.
"That's it! Don't worry about money. Although the cost is large, there is more way to make money... You try to bring out a team as soon as possible!" Jiang Xingchen said.
"Okay!" Grandpa Fu nodded and was about to turn around and leave.
At this moment, Han Xiaowu suddenly ran in and shouted: "Sir, the news from the Orc Alliance was sent by the Military Headquarters!"
Jiang Xingchen frowned slightly and said in surprise: "Why did the military headquarters send me the news from the Orc Alliance?"
"The Orc Alliance and Xuanyuan Tianzong fought at the junction. Xuanyuan Tianzong dispatched five hundred chariots, but they were broken by the light cavalry of the Orc Alliance!" Han Xiaowu said quickly.
"It's really a fight!" Jiang Xingchen straightened his eyes. Luo Yu asked him for weapons, that is, to prevent it. He thought that Xuanyuan Tianzong had just been defeated in the empire and would not start another war. Who would have thought that he would really take action?
What's even more terrifying is that the other party actually built another 500 chariots in a short time, and this manufacturing ability is simply terrifying.
After breathing slowly, Jiang Xingchen said in confusion: "What are the military headquarters sending me the news? I can't work here..."
Before Jiang Xingchen finished speaking, Han Xiaowu said, "Sir, you are the combat staff of the military!"
"Uh!" Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Why did I forget this..."
After a pause, Jiang Xingchen said a little unhappy: "The news has reached the empire. Luo Yu didn't even write to me. It's not interesting to design weapons for him because I lost it... By the way, this guy hasn't given me the money for weapon design. This guy shouldn't want to pay back the debt anymore, right?"
Just as I thought of this, a symbolic laughter rang out outside: "Brother, I'm here! It's delicious, fun, and beautiful to serve!"
