The planning of Dongmen City starts from the ditch outside the East Gate of Bairen City, extends 300 meters to the west, and builds a main street named Dongmen Street. A cross street is built every 100 meters on both sides of the street.
It forms a layout of one vertical and two horizontal. Plots of different sizes are divided on both sides of the street, which can be sold to shops to build their own houses. Travelers will also build some paved houses on both sides of Dongmen Street for merchants to rent and operate.
"Your plan is so big. Let's not talk about how much construction resources it will take up. Are there so many merchants in Lingao renting your shop? Isn't it possible that hawkers selling vegetables will also come to rent?"
"The economic scale of Lingao is very small and it is basically a natural economy. Is this market a bit exaggerated?" Cheng Dong expressed concern.
Dongmen Chuiyu is confident: "This is a long-term plan. We plan to start the first phase of the project first."
The first phase of the project includes the construction of a 100-meter street and supporting sewers, and the construction of a mule and horse inn, which is a common type of inn on official roads and large markets in the old days. The inn has a large yard for tying mules.
There is a warehouse for parking horses and vehicles; there is a warehouse where merchants can temporarily store goods; there is a kitchen with convenient water and fire, but there is no food prepared, so merchants have to make their own fires to cook. The accommodation is mainly bunkhouses, and there are also some single rooms. It is a place where small and medium-sized merchants often stay.
A restaurant - he added that the time traveler has more and more interactions with the locals and needs a place outside the city where they can meet, talk and have meals, and where they can also serve wealthy merchants.
Opposite the management office building, a business building was built. The business building drew on some models of the British East India Company's business building: a building surrounded by high walls, with a business house inside; a warehouse and space for storing and stacking goods.
There are also guest rooms, restaurants and conference rooms for important businessmen.
The original plan was to connect tap water to Dongmen City, but long-distance water supply is still difficult. Instead, several wells were dug, one of which was a public well, to provide free drinking water for people and livestock. Finally, public toilets will be built - these days
The problem of open defecation among local people who come to do business in Dongmen City has caused everyone a headache.
Even the issue of greening has been taken into consideration - you must know that there is no greening project in Bairen City so far. Street trees will be planted on both sides of Dongmen Street. As for the tree species, the agricultural department will be asked to choose. Wu Nanhai immediately expressed his intention to study it.
As for safety, Dugu Suo believes that there is no need to worry. The main building of the market is a masonry structure, with doors and windows covered with iron sheets. A tower is planned to be built at each corner of the business wall. Even if someone comes to attack, they will not be able to rush in for a while. Bai Ren
The turrets and sentry towers on the city fortress are even close at hand. As for security issues such as small-scale riots and robberies, he applied for the allocation of ten pairs of stab-proof vests, stab-proof gloves and batons, using the existing staff.
"Dongmen City Comprehensive Management Law Enforcement Team" - "Promise not to let anyone be arrogant here" Dugu vowed to propose.
"I can give you all of these," Wen Desi said, "but what methods are you going to use to attract investment?"
"I want to talk about the overall idea. It's relatively big and complicated. How about it?"
After getting everyone's permission, Dongmen Chuiyu picked up the folder on the table. This business plan was mainly discussed between him, Yan Maoda and Zhang Xin. Yan Maoda is the manager of a jewelry company and is currently traveling to Guangzhou with Xiao Zishan.
Zhang Xin is the sales section chief of a small shipyard. When it comes to the ability to do business, Dongmen Chuiyu can only accept the defeat. However, neither of them has ambitions to engage in local business, so they are too lazy to argue with Dongmen.
, cooperation is more pleasant.
The current prosperity of Dongmen City is based on the large-scale procurement of construction traversers and the huge consumption of more than 500 high-consumption modern people, which attracts many people to come here to do business. But only relying on such a large
The market development supported by large-scale group procurement is limited. How can we get people from the whole county and even neighboring counties to come to this place for business and consumption? The first plan they proposed was to build roads.
Bairencheng's location is very ideal. It is in the middle of Bobu Bay, the gateway port to the county. It is in the center of both sides of the Wenlan River, the most economically developed and populous area in the county, and its geographical location extends in all directions. At present,
The Bairencheng-Bopu highway has been built, and the highway extending to Lingao County is also under construction. It won't be long before the county and Bobu Port will be fully connected. Not only can merchants from the mainland reach the county quickly and conveniently,
Residents living on both sides of the Wenlan River can also reach the county town quickly and conveniently through this highway.
However, the highway is located in the east of Hedong, and it is difficult for people in Hexi to enjoy the convenient transportation. Dongmen Chuiyu proposed to build a bridge upstream of the Bairen Hydropower Station to connect the north-south traffic. In this way, nearby people crossing the river do not need to detour in front of the south gate of the county seat.
Wenshui Bridge
As long as there is a constant flow of people passing through Bairen City, Dongmen City, the only market on the highway, will form a distribution center for people and materials, and commerce will naturally prosper.
Wen Desi agreed with the proposal to build a bridge. Now that the industrial zone in Hexi has started construction, it is very inconvenient for people and materials to travel back and forth across the country. Building a bridge is indeed a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.
Dongmen Chuiyu said that people basically don't dare to walk on the highway now, and there are blockhouses and cars running around. Everyone is afraid.
"This is no problem, it's easy to solve." Wen Desi frowned, "But the people in this time and space have no concept of traffic rules. Will our cars hit people when running on the road?"
"No, we only have a few vehicles. Unless it's a big event, we won't go out at all. The fastest ones on the road now are bicycles, and the biggest ones are four-wheel carriages. There's not much of a safety problem."
The second option is to attract foreign businessmen. The business department got a clear message from the intelligence and information group: Lingao is not a good market. Its economic structure is not only a natural economy, but also a particularly backward natural economy. The total economic volume
Needless to say, compared with the Jiangnan and Guangdong regions of the Ming Dynasty, the purchasing power is not at the same level as that of the densely populated areas in the north. I want to rely on the traditional time-travel method to make a fortune quickly by selling a large number of modern products with "splendid tricks": such as mirrors and glasses.
, lighters and the like are not feasible here, and can only be sold to the mainland. The best situation is for merchants to purchase them, rather than transporting and selling them themselves.
In addition to future industrial products, Lingao itself also exports many local products. After consulting historical data, we found that the bulk local export materials in the Ming Dynasty were cattle, salt, red and white vines, and betel nuts. Most of the red and white vines and betel nuts were imported and processed from the Lidong area.
It is then exported to the mainland, which is the most profitable commodity.
However, for a long time, except for salt which was shipped and exported from Bopu, Maxiao and other places in the county, most of the exported commodities were transported to Fucheng and exported from Shenying Port. If the exported commodities could be exported at Bopu instead, the transportation conditions would be better.
The superior Dongmen City will become a distribution center for mainland merchants to purchase local products.
"Now we cannot control the betel nut trade, but we have controlled the production of salt. I suggest that the production and sales of salt be completely controlled, so that the salt shop in Dongmen City becomes the main wholesale store of Lingao salt. Completely control the wholesale link of salt.
If merchants want to buy salt, they must come to Bairen City." Dongmen Chuiyu said, his eyes shining - Monopoly, monopoly, how much money will come from you!
Other suggestions include exempting Bobu Port from "pumping" and berthing taxes to attract merchant ships for coastal trade. Providing a good business environment, such as tax exemptions and warehousing and freight services, Dongmen Chuiyu even proposed using Guangzhou as a base.
Launch commercial wireless telegraph service from Hainan to Guangzhou, reporting market conditions in Guangzhou and Macao on a daily basis.
With these benefits, merchants on the mainland will naturally move their local product acquisition and processing centers to Lingao. This will be followed by the inflow of many permanent residents and foreigners, and the stimulating effect on the economy is obvious. In the future, through the
After you produce modern industrial products yourself, you can use their channels to sell goods to the mainland and purchase supplies to avoid having to do everything yourself.
The business plan was approved. The construction engineering team complained endlessly. They had a heavy task: the road to the county seat had just been completed; nearly 200 families who moved from Damei Village needed resettlement housing; there were still many projects in Bairen City itself
In progress. Now there is another development project in Dongmen City. Brick kilns and cement kilns are in operation day and night. There is a shortage of labor everywhere. Ma Qianxu, who is responsible for the general coordination of the center, is very worried.
At this moment, he called Wu Nanhai and said with a gloomy face: "Nanhai, your tasks have become heavier again. From now on, you will have to prepare meals for 800 more people every day - for the villagers who have moved from Damei Village. It is urgently needed for the project.
This workforce.”
This notice scared Wu Nanhai to take a breath: he had only provided meals for 700 people a day at most. Now adding 800 people out of thin air would not be a satellite-like big leap. Not to mention, the kitchen equipment alone is not enough.
ah.
"The Planning Commission just brought back a batch of trophies from Damei Village. They are all kitchen and daily necessities of the Gou family. You go and choose." Ma Qianzhu sat behind a rosewood table and wrote something.
A piece of paper, stamped with a private seal and handed to him - there is no official seal yet, all kinds of documents are subject to the signatures and private seals of the executive committee and the leader of the professional group.
"If we don't farm, we won't even have time to cook!" Wu Nanhai exploded because he has been busy being a fire fighter recently and has no time to engage in his beloved agriculture.
"You can choose people. Some of the women who have migrated from Damei Village are here to help. The main thing is to be reliable, and no one has anything to do with the Gou family. By the way, we can't let the locals handle our food. It's best.
The cooking area is separated, do you understand?"
"How do I know who is related to the Yougou family?"
"The security team is conducting political review on them one by one. Once the materials come out, you can select a group."
