Nanjing, Pailou Street, the beautiful embroidery shop in the world.
"Okay, your procedures are complete and you can open the business." A clerk in his forties handed a briefcase to Zi Linglong and said, "You are the boss here, and all kinds of documents are in it.
Don't lose it. Otherwise, it will be troublesome to re-issue it."
Zi Linglong, who appeared in front of the clerk, looked like a thirty-four or five-year-old man with a charm. She hurriedly took it with her hands, then smiled and said, "I'll be approved so quickly. I really want to thank the officials."
"Master." As he said that, he took out a piece of silver from the cuff, handed it over, and smiled and said, "This is a little bit of a word, buy some water for several officials."
The clerk waved his hand and said, "Boss, no need, our business army is not going to do this. You are also a small business person. It is not easy to make any money. Put it away. My surname is Zhang, so if you have any questions,
Come to find us."
Zi Linglong was stunned for a moment, but immediately smiled again and said, "The officials are so honest and dedicated to the public. I admire them very much. But from now on, I will stutter on this street, so I have to worry about it.
Dear officials, this little money is nothing, so it’s better for several officials to take it away."
Clerk Zhang smiled and said, "Boss, we must not collect this money. We are disciplined. I know your worries, but don't worry. If you do business well in the future and respect all regulations, you won't worry about anyone coming."
Make things difficult for you."
Zi Linglong said: "You are so polite, and the king's law is more powerful than human favors. If you don't say it, we won't say it. Who will know?" As he said that, he was going to force the money to clerk Zhang.
At this time, another clerk was a little impatient and said, "I said I would not accept it, but I would give it to you. We have discipline. I will make a mistake when collecting money and goods by myself. Do you understand?"
Clerk Zhang hurriedly stopped him and said, "Xiao Zhao, what is your attitude? I didn't tell you when I came out, be kind and patient." He turned to Zi Linglong and said, "Boss, please rest assured."
Okay, our merchant army will manage Nanjing in the future, which is different from the Ming Dynasty before. As long as it is law-abiding, you will not worry that someone will make things difficult for you. If someone really makes things difficult for you on purpose and ask for money, you can complain to them.
We will never be lucky enough to do so.”
After hearing this, Zi Linglong had to take back the money and immediately changed her expression to arouse aroused expression, saying: "The merchant army is so good. With the merchant army here, we little people really don't have to be afraid of anything.
I'll have a peaceful day."
Clerk Zhang nodded and said, "Of course, okay, boss lady, we have to rush to the next house and leave first."
Zi Linglong hurriedly said, "Since this is the case, I will not delay the hard work of several officials. It is easy for several officials to leave and come and sit there whenever I have time."
After the group left, Zi Linglong ordered the lockdown and returned to the inner room to meet Mo Jingwei.
After seeing Mo Jingwei, Zi Linglong said, "You have seen everything just now."
Mo Jingwei nodded and said, "Shang Yi is indeed not simple to be able to reorganize all the minor officials at the bottom into such a clean and self-disciplined appearance. It only takes less than a month for him to occupy Nanjing, and he can restore Nanjing to this way.
I remember that the Qing army occupied this place for more than three months, and there were almost no people on the streets to see how many people were acting. Although Shang Yi was cheaper than the Han people, it was not easy to achieve this. And it started immediately
After re-registering the household registration, it seems that Shang Yi plans to occupy Nanjing for a long time and not leave."
Zi Linglong smiled and said, "Of course, how much effort it took to get to Nanjing and it was a strategic location. If it were me, I wouldn't give up Nanjing easily."
Mo Jingwei shook his head and said, "I don't mean that, but Shang Yi means that he is probably going to move his capital from Hangzhou to Nanjing. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in the back of Nanjing."
Zi Linglong said: "That is reasonable. Nanjing was originally the center of the south, and it was also the place where Zhu Yuanzhang had risen. Shang Yi wanted to regard this place as his first city, which was also very correct. It happened to us. We can also take advantage of this opportunity to re-arrange it in Nanjing. Isn’t this embroidery shop our new stronghold? Now we have obtained new household loans and business licenses, and the grate has gained a foothold in Nanjing.”
Mo Jingwei said: "I don't understand this point. Why is our new stronghold not a brothel, but an embroidery shop? Although Ziming Building is gone, other brothels can be opened."
Zi Linglong said: "Although brothels are the place where news is gathered, the target is too obvious. When the Ming Dynasty was still there, ghosts and monsters gathered in Nanjing, and all forces were wrong. Therefore, we can be among the various forces. It is because they can help Longdonglin and Fushe. These people claim to be noble and seek fame and good use. But now it is different. Nanjing is a kind-hearted person. Donglin and Fushe has long disappeared. At this time, wouldn’t we begging for trouble? Although the embroidery shop does not have as many sources of information as brothels, Jiangnan embroidery is famous all over the world and has always been a hot commodity. Moreover, Shang Yi encourages the development of handicraft workshops, so as long as it is us If you make the name of the embroidery shop famous and can also be sold overseas, you will naturally have a connection with the dignitaries and nobles, and then you will be able to open up the situation."
Mo Jingwei frowned and said, "You said you didn't count, but how long will it take to reach our past power if you continue to do so."
Zi Linglong sneered and said, "Do you think intelligence work is easy to do? In the past, the Ming Dynasty was relaxed in management and not strictly preventing it, which gave us many loopholes. As long as we use money to open the way, there is nothing we can't solve. .Shang Yi is in power here now. From the few people just now, we can see that Shang Yi is loose and tight. We have settled in Nanjing, but the scale, number of people, and business conditions of the embroidery shop must be The government report means that if you are not careful, you will easily show your strength. Therefore, at this time, we should be calm and honest, lay the foundation honestly, and try to avoid non-nothing."
Mo Jingwei was silent for a while before finally nodding, saying, "You are talking about it."
―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
There is something that Zi Linglong and Mo Jingwei are right, and Shang Yi does have the intention to help the administrative center from Hangzhou to Nanjing.
Because after Shang Yi's territory expansion plan is basically completed, he will own the entire region on both sides of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. In this way, Hangzhou's geographical location will appear too eastward, which is not conducive to issuing orders to the overall situation. In addition, Hangzhou has been historically accustomed to the As the first city of the Southern Song Dynasty, it gives people the impression of being calm and not enterprising. Nanjing is located in the center of this area, and it also has special political influence. At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang established a foundation in Nanjing and expelled it. Yuan Dynasty, unifying the world, and now Nanjing's population has been greatly reduced, and a large number of vacant areas are vacant, which is also conducive to the re-planning of the city and the resettlement of officials and soldiers' families. Therefore, in all aspects, Nanjing is more than Hangzhou. More suitable for an administrative center.
According to the merchant’s plan, in the second half of next year, his administrative agency will be moved from Hangzhou to Nanjing.
Hangzhou is just an economic center
and major external ports exist.
In addition, the migration of the administrative center from Hangzhou to Nanjing is to put it bluntly. Before completely defeating the Qing court, Nanjing will be the core of the political, military and economic development of Shangyi's forces. It is estimated that this period is quite long, not only officials and soldiers
, including large households in Hangzhou and businessmen, will also consider opening semicolons, factories, etc. in Nanjing, which will also bring a large population to Nanjing, which will help speed up the recovery speed of Nanjing.
Therefore, Shang Yi also plans to take advantage of this opportunity to re-plan according to the modern urban model and build Nanjing into a new type of city. Now Li Yan stays in the south
It's time to start doing some basic work
In modern cities, first of all, they must have good underground sewage discharge, drainage pipeline facilities and smooth ground connections, and secondly, they must have very clear and clear divisions in industrial areas, administrative areas, residential areas and commercial areas.
; Then there is the space for the improvement of urban functions and sustainable development.
Of course, it will take at least ten years to rebuild a super city like Nanjing, and it also requires a lot of manpower and material resources. In the current environment, although Shang Yi is not short of money now, he is not
It is possible to invest a large amount of human, financial and material resources in Nanjing's urban construction.
Fortunately, Nanjing's urban planning was done very reasonably in ancient China, with relatively complete underground sewage and drainage pipeline facilities. It was only because of the long-term lack of maintenance and maintenance, which caused the blockage.
After cleaning and unblocking, it can basically be used. At most, you can only use a newly opened to avoid a small amount of sewage and drainage pipes. It is much easier than to rebuild all the land roads and houses. You can take it slowly.
Don't ask for everything to be done all at once.
Moreover, although it has experienced two wars, most of the damage was residential buildings, and the imperial city was also damaged to a certain extent. However, the damage in the administrative district was not large and could be used directly. Shang Yi does not plan to repair the imperial city now, so he rebuilt it.
The scale is not large, just repair the houses for officials and soldiers to live in. However, Shang Yi also plans to change these newly built houses, which are mainly made of wooden structures, and change them to all brick and wood structures.
Houses. Other businesses and large-scale houses only set aside land for them, and they can complete the house construction by themselves.
