Early on the next morning, Wang Dachun and Carpenter Liu chartered a carriage and left the capital straight for Miyun.
They mainly went to see the situation in Miyun this time. After all, they had to invest a lot of money and it was not easy to make a decision. They generally wanted to see if Miyun could do things and whether it was suitable for opening a factory.
It has been rumored to be magical for many years, but I have never been there in person, so it always feels a bit unreal.
The two of them walked for a whole day in a carriage, and did not reach Miyun until dark. They found a foot shop on the roadside to rest and prepare to continue their journey the next day.
This place is still more than seventy miles away from the Miyun factory area. Almost all people coming out of the capital rest here. After staying for one night, they can reach the factory area at noon the next day.
The traffic situation of the current era is like this. It takes three or four days to travel back and forth for a distance of more than 200 miles. If Zhu Youjian mobilizes an army like that, it will take about ten days. It can be faster if you use a fast horse to rush.
, but most people will not use this method.
"Jiangtou, there are twenty or thirty shops in such a small roadside village, and they are all full of people! The food in the shop is not bad, it is almost the same as in the capital." Carpenter Liu saw the people in the shop.
The situation made me sigh. It is surprising that this rural place can be so prosperous.
"This is the only way from the capital to Miyun. Miyun is extremely prosperous now. This place must be conveniently located." The two tidied up in the room, then went downstairs to find the porter, and the three of them went to the store together.
Eat in the dining hall.
"Master Liu, when we go to Miyun this time, we have to take a closer look. If we can open a factory, our brothers will have a stable business and start a new career."
"Yes! The imperial court is treating us so well now. It's a blessing for us to have such an opportunity. It's not in vain that we suffered so much in the first half of our lives."
The two of them ate and chatted at the table, and ordered a pot of soju to drink. In the past two years, Wang Dachun and Liu Carpenter's incomes have increased, and their consumption levels have also risen. Like the situation a few years ago, even if they go out
I don’t have the spare money to spend like this.
After drinking wine and eating meat, the two of them soon started talking. They used the wine to discuss where to choose Miyun and what industries to build in the factory after opening it.
Just as the conversation between the two was getting underway, a man in brocade came over from the table and came over.
"Brothers, I heard that you are also from Beijing, and I am also from Beijing. I heard that you are going to Miyun to see a place to open a factory. To be honest with you, I also want to go to Miyun to see a place to open a factory. Tomorrow we will
How about we go together? I am Luo Shihong from Luoshi Lane in Beijing, and I am in the brocade business."
Wang Dachun and Liu Carpenter suddenly woke up when they saw that the visitor was so familiar. In fact, neither of them were business people and had never done much serious business. That was because Zhu Youjian wanted to support a group of reliable people.
The craftsmen class who are rich in technology have made them what they are today. So when they meet a familiar businessman like Luo Shihong, they instinctively become defensive and don't know how to deal with it.
The two people were at a loss. They were stunned for a long time before they came to their senses and asked Luo Shihong to take a seat. After drinking a few glasses of wine, they stopped talking and just promised to leave together tomorrow morning.
At dawn the next day, Luo Shihong was already waiting for Wang Dachun and others at the door of the foot shop. The two carriages, one in front and one behind, arrived at the Miyun factory area after noon.
"It's only been two months since I've been here. Several factories have opened up in the factory area. It's really a big change." Unlike Wang Dachun and the others, Luo Shihong had obviously been to the factory area some time ago. He looked at the people on this side. You need to know something about the situation.
In order to attract investment, the factory area recently hung a large area map at the door, marking out the distribution of existing factories and investment areas, and arranged for staff to introduce it. Even they even recently specially designated The free and open areas of the ordnance factory have been drawn.
"Looking at the map, the land given to our ordnance factory seems to be quite good. You see there is a river here and an iron factory not far away. It is very convenient to feed materials." Carpenter Liu looked at the distribution map at the door. Through the introduction of the introduction staff at the station, I figured out where I and others would probably be placed if they came to open a factory.
"Are you here to open an ordnance factory? Magistrate Song has specially arranged people. Later I will ask someone to accompany you to see it. The policy for you is good. The land is free forever and there is no tax. I heard that the Royal Bank They even have loans, which is very enviable." When the tour guides heard Liu Carpenter's words, their attitudes changed. The ordnance factory is considered a military property and a government property, which means Liu Carpenter and the others are considered official. Naturally, we can't take them lightly. In fact, the officials here can't figure it out. The people who are really profitable for them are civilian businessmen.
Soon, the ordnance factory site guide specially arranged by Miyun rushed over. After arriving, they very enthusiastically greeted the group of people to go over and take a look at the place.
"How many officials are there? How many craftsmen are there in the factory you want to open?"
Wang Dachun quickly replied: "Sir, the factory we are planning to build has about two to three hundred workers."
"We have to reserve space for you based on the scale of the five-hundred-person factory. Fortunately, you came early and there are many places to choose from. After a while, it will be hard to say."
"We think this place is quite big? How come there is no place to choose from?" Liu Carpenter couldn't help but interjected after hearing what the official said. In his opinion, how could such a large empty place be fully occupied?
"The place looks big, but when people actually come here, it won't be that big. The Right Army Governor's Mansion is going to have several assembly plants, plus factories like those of the masters. It's estimated that there will be dozens of factories. Think about it. Will there be any room in the future? Our Miyun Factory District is only such a large area, and there can only be so much space left for the ordnance area. If it weren’t for the pressure from above to leave these areas for the ordnance area, businessmen from outside would be able to use the land. They were all robbed.”
"Are there so many businessmen coming here to open factories from outside?" Wang Dachun sounded a bit exaggerated. Miyun Factory District looks much larger than a county town. There are still a lot of open spaces. How can it be all occupied by people from outside? Finished? How many factories will be opened?
"Hey! Nowadays, many of us in Miyun want to open factories, and we dare not even think about it. Who knew that there are so many rich people in the world? It is estimated that in a year or two, all the empty land here will be filled with factories. At the moment, it’s hard to choose a good place near the river. It’s also because the treatment given by the court is a bit too good. When you open a factory here, you can use the land for free for the first two years. The rent for the subsequent land is the same as the rent for the factory land in the palace, which is cheap. It's amazing, as long as someone is determined to make a fortune, who doesn't want to come to us? Here, the land is cheap, and the raw materials made in the palace factory are available, so you can make money without much effort. You don't even have to worry about finding sellers. The prices are so high all day long that foreign businessmen come looking for supplies.”
