The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 485

It takes a lot of money to buy the production lines of the arsenal and various firearms.

When Jia Min came.Although some money and goods were brought, the money to pay for the firearms was far from enough.

In order to open up the situation here and gain a firm foothold, it is necessary to maintain a luxurious lifestyle of the upper class in order to gain the local people's recognition of their own strength.

Just to maintain these daily lives, more than 100 people need a lot of expenses.

According to Jia Min's original plan, he planned to implement a Ponzi scheme in Paris, earn a fortune, and after buying the firearms, he would fly away and run away.

With the hot sales of brewing equipment, Jia Min changed his mind.

He decided to do serious business.

In doing so, first, the risk is reduced, and second, it can leave a way out, and you can come to Paris or even Europe in the future.Even if you don't come in person, your subordinates can come.

For the long-term sake of Beihai, it is better not to leave Paris with a bad record.

In future firearms and other business, this is a place worth visiting.

With the smooth progress of the tobacco project, Jia Min's cash flow has become more abundant.

There are also many merchants here who are interested in carrying out trade between the East and the West.

Now, Jia Min's financial problem has been solved, and there is no need to implement a Ponzi scheme at all.

One month later, the Luofu Arsenal produced 90 machine guns. According to the original agreement, Jia Minti took 45 of them, together with 30 field guns, 1 rifles and a large number of bullets, loaded them on a ship, and set off for Beihai .

Jiao Li, Dai Zhi, Lameihua, Wei Ruoshui, etc., led the soldiers of the Fu Corps who were intern at the Luofu factory, a total of more than 50 people, accompanied the ship.

These soldiers not only returned to Beihai, but also acted as guards along the way.

Beihai, Pingyuan City.

Wei Song, head of the Beihaiwei family, Toke, head of the White Tatar Daker tribe, and Bogda, head of the Simmel tribe, are walking in Pingyuan New City.

This is the place near Lake Feigal that Jia Min bought from them.

Now, a large number of houses have appeared here.However, from a distance, it looks more like a large construction site.

From time to time, you can see groups of craftsmen repairing and building houses.

"I haven't been here for a few days, and this place has changed again."

Wei Song is not only emotional.

"Yeah, it's almost the same every day. If you don't come for ten and a half months, you will become unrecognizable."

Toke witnessed with his own eyes that this place has changed from an open space to the current small town.

"If things go on like this, in half a year, this new city will surpass our old city. Jia Guerrilla's work is really generous."

In Bogda's tone, there was some emotion and even more pride.Because he now also opened a shop here and organized a caravan.

"Bogda, you acted very quickly, the caravan is about to leave."

Tok seemed envious.

"Toke, are you laughing at me, or are you envious of me? The one who should be envious is actually me. How can I act faster than you, your caravan has already arrived in Bukui, right? Do you think I don't know?"

"And Patriarch Wei, your caravan just came back from Fort Sergei, right? As far as I know, this trip has earned a lot of money."

"Where is it? It's just to make some money. Isn't it all thanks to road repairs?"

The road construction that Wei Song mentioned started after Feng Ziying brought people to Pingyuan City.

Building roads is a grand plan.

Starting from the border of Daedeok, passing through Pingyuan City, it continues westward to the western border of the North Sea, and reaches the border of Ross Fort Sergey.

To build roads, several conditions must be met.

One is sufficient labor force, the other is corresponding tools, and the third is a certain amount of money.

According to Jia Min's original plan, the road construction plan mainly consists of three parts.

The first is to organize a year-round road construction team of more than [-] people.Starting from Pingyuan City, it extends eastward to the border of Dade and west to the border of Ross.

However, due to the vast territory, although roads are built all the year round, the number of roads that can be repaired is still very limited.

The second method is to transfer labor.

Every adult man who came to Beihai had to spend two days every month to do hard labor and build roads.

After negotiation, the three families of Wei Song, Toke, and Bogda sent people accordingly to participate in the road construction.

This group of people, led by Feng Zijing, took turns to work.Tools and vehicles are provided, and meals are provided every day, but wages are not paid.

The third method is to have villages along the road undertake part of the road construction tasks.

According to the plan, hundreds of villages will be distributed along the thousands of miles of arterial roads across the North Sea.

These villages are almost all organized according to the family.

A powerful family can build a city.Those with poor strength can build a town, and those with weaker strength can build a village.

No matter how weak the strength is, several families can build a village together.

Every town and village has to undertake the construction of a section of road.

The village is three miles on the left and right, and the town is five miles on the left and right.The city is about ten miles each.

Those that cannot be connected in the middle will be built by Pingyuan New Town.

This road construction plan is very effective. Although only a small part of the road has been built, the road is being extended little by little every day.

Wei Song and the others walked and watched all the way.

"The hundreds of lands over there belong to Jia Guerrilla's family, right?"

"That's right. Currently, Jia Zhi is in charge of repairing the building there. It is said that it was built according to the style of Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion. The two mansions together cover about [-] mu, which is really big."

"Is this still big? It is said that the Rongguo Mansion and Ningguo Mansion in the imperial capital are bigger than this."

"The Jia family is really rich and powerful."

"It is said that this was not paid by the Jia family, but by Jia Guerrilla and his female relatives."

"Jia Guerrilla's female relatives are all heroines and heroines."

A few people were walking when a group of five people came in front of them. They were wearing the uniform of the original army regiment, carrying long guns, bows and arrows, sabers and crossbows on their backs.

This is a daily patrol team in the new city, responsible for handling various security incidents and civil disputes, and maintaining order in the new city.

Seeing the three of Wei Song, they greeted each other and continued to patrol.

"Both, do we also have a patrol team in our old city? I think this patrol team is pretty good. Every day we walk on the road like this, those thieves will be scared."

Wei Song couldn't help feeling a little tempted.

"Well, in my opinion, it's not necessary. When I see Feng Ziying later, tell him to tell his patrol team to go around the old city every day. Isn't that all right? It also saves us from paying people and money. gone."

"After all, Toke is resourceful. I think this plan is feasible. I will talk to Feng Ziying in a while."

Bogda also quickly made a small calculation and thought of going with Tok.

"Hey, that carpentry shop is not small, go and have a look?"

As Wei Song spoke, he took the lead in pulling his horse over.

"Go and see, we both went to Feng's brick kiln to have a look."

Wei Song came to the carpenter's shop, and Sun Yuanzheng greeted him.

"Ouch, Patriarch Wei, rare guest, please come inside."

"No need, just pass by here, come over and have a look. There seem to be more carpenters and apprentices, have you added?"

"Additionally, [-] or so people came from my hometown a few days ago. There is too much work to do."

In a large yard, there are piles of logs, and more than a dozen men are sawing and breaking the logs in groups of two.

In the yard, there is a pile on the left, and a pile of ground, piled with wooden boards, house frames, beams, purlins, doors and windows, etc.

"Brother Yuanzheng, it seems that your family's business is really good."

"Nowadays there is a lot of construction going on everywhere, so naturally there will be more work. There are already four carpentry workshops, and I am like every one of them."

"How about your shipyard, can a new ship be launched today?"

"Patriarch Wei, you can go to watch the ceremony with peace of mind, everything was prepared a few days ago."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

"Wait, I'll go there with Patriarch Wei. Today is a big boat launching, it's a good day, don't miss it."

Wei Song and Sun Yuanzheng rode for about ten minutes and arrived at the pier.

I saw a big ship already parked at the dock, with red cloth and red flowers hanging on the bow.A group of people were watching and pointing.

I saw Feng Ziying, Yang Lin, Wei Ruolan, Feng Zijing, Chen Yeqing, Lin Dajiang and others head-on.

These people are the leading figures in Pingyuan New Town.

After saying hello, Wei Song told Feng Ziying about calling the patrol team to patrol the old city.I thought Feng Ziying would hesitate, but unexpectedly, he agreed.

"Chief of Staff Feng, you are busy, I'll go and see the ship."

Wei Song went to see the boat, and Yang Lin went to Feng Ziying.

"Chief of Staff Feng, why did you agree so readily to patrol the old city?"

"I was about to talk to them about this, but they came to the door by themselves. When we patrol there in the future, with Yang Dianshi's cleverness, can he not see my intention?"

"Hehe, I understand. From now on, the old city will gradually come under our jurisdiction. It won't be long before our place will become the center of power in Pingyuan City."

"Yang Dianshi really has eyesight. This day won't be too long. Once Chief Min comes back, it will be a matter of course."

"It is estimated that they have seen the situation clearly. Now there are more than 3000 people in our Laofu Corps here, and most of them are armed. Who else is our opponent?"

"In the past two years, more than [-] new people have come to Pingyuan City, all of whom came for us. Now, we have an advantage in terms of population, and there are still new people coming here. In the future, we Will definitely be the master here."

"After all, Chief Min has the foresight. Soon, this place will become another Bu Kui, even more prosperous than Bu Kui."

Feng Ziying and Yang Lin were talking when they saw a caravan approaching.

There are many caravans at present, and there are caravans arriving almost every day.The two have long been used to it.

However, this caravan is different because there are three acquaintances in it.

They were old acquaintances of Bu Kui, including Cong Xiucai who was running a school in Bu Kui, Guo Qisheng who came from Zhili, and another one who turned out to be Hua Yusheng who had escaped from Bu Kui Pei.

Both Feng Ziying and Yang Lin respected Cong Xiucai and rushed to greet him.

"Mr. Cong, why are you here?"

"Huaiyuan is here, you are here, the Fubingtuan is here, all of Bu Kui's old acquaintances are here, can I not come? I have feelings for these people. From now on, I will settle down here."

"Settling down here?"

"This is where my love is, and where the love is strong is home."
