Chapter 88 Foreign Aid

"Dalang, wait!" Just after Zhao Qi gave up on the idea of ​​real estate development, Yang Anping became interested.

"San Master, please say something?" Zhao Qi nodded.

"Dalang just said that he wanted to buy more wasteland and take advantage of the opportunity to repair the warehouse to attract more popularity. I also think this idea is very good. I wonder if Dalang has more careful plans. The old man also wants to hear it!"

Although Zhao Qi's expression remained unchanged, he was a little excited. It seemed that his seemingly unintentional sentences just now were effective.

In fact, Zhao Qi was still a little worried about buying Dawan Village. The price was indeed cheap, but the location was indeed a bit biased. He knew the nature of rural people. Especially in this feudal era where villages and families were used, sometimes any legal documents were not very useful. Once he really managed the place more lively and prosperous, local farmers were jealous of causing trouble. That was really troublesome. Don’t even think about suing officials and suing the court, and it would be useless to win.

Therefore, if you want to protect the fruits of your hard work, you must have a very strong backend.

The son of Mr. Yang San of the village commander serves as an official in the Cao Transport Department, which is something Zhao Qi already knows.

Therefore, during this land transaction with Dawan Village, Zhao Qi instantly thought of bringing the village into the market as a guarantor and witness.

First, we can use this to shock Zhu Dachang and others, and second, we also want to test whether we can pull Mr. Yang San onto his own ship.

In business like warehouses, Yang Dayuan, who only works at the docks, and Yang Dahu, who makes irons in the village, no longer play any role. They need to be more capable, more powerful and powerful backers.

Although Mr. Yang San was not very rich and not very famous in Yanggong Town, he had a son who was an official in the court, and the grain transport had always been the most important material transfer agency of the court, responsible for the transportation of money, grain, salt, tea and cloth to the capital and the front line.

Although at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, due to the silt canals and the continuous development of private freight, the official freight transport was less than one-tenth of that in the Northern Song Dynasty, the imperial court still attached great importance to it, but it was too willing but not enough, and the freight transport could basically only meet the supply of materials in Lin'an.

But even so, as the main production area of ​​rice and a developed commercial area, and as the Sanjiangkou, the southeast starting point of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou, the canal transportation still looks very prosperous.

The taxes from the southeastern prefectures, imported materials from Southeast Asia and Central Asia and West Asia, as well as tributes from Japan, North Korea, Ryukyu, rice from Liangzhe Road, tea from Fujian, sugar sugar from Guangdong, and a large amount of seafood from Zhoushan Islands were almost all sent to Lin'an through canal ships to meet the costs of hundreds of thousands of imperial guards, millions of people in the capital, and the imperial palace.

What's more, the Cao Transport Department is not an ordinary local official office, but a direct agency of the road-level transfer envoy. It is not under the jurisdiction of the local prefectures. It is not only independent but also has great power. Even if it is a lot of commercial freights among the people, if it involves salt, wine, tea, iron and other materials sold by the court, it still needs to be approved by the Cao Transport Office, otherwise it will be smuggled.

Therefore, the canal transportation department of Qingyuan Prefecture Harbor is a powerful oil and water department.

Although Yang Anping's eldest son was just an ordinary grain servant, he still had hundreds of stagnants of income every year and his family was quite rich. He bought hundreds of acres of farmland at home and also had a grain shop in the town. He was definitely a top-notch wealthy family in the village and could not see anyone on weekdays.

According to Zhao Qi's idea, if Yang Anping can also be pulled onto the boat, if the people in Dawan Village make trouble in the future, at least they will have a shield.

At present, Yang Anping wanted to hear his idea of ​​the development of the wasteland in Dawan Village, so Zhao Qi was naturally very happy: "Since the third master wants to hear it, the boy naturally knows everything, but no matter how it is done, it will eventually take a lot of money to revitalize this wasteland!"

"That's for sure, but let me tell you what you think first. The old man doesn't have much money, but I know a few people in Yanggong Town. If it really works, the old man can borrow some money and make money with you!" Yang Anping nodded with a smile on his face.

Hehe, it seems that the fish is finally going to take the bait.

Zhao Qi took out a few drawings from his arms with a smile on his face and spread them out on the coffee table.

"San Ye, look, these are some drawings I drew at home... This is Dawan Village. The nearest and only unused place to the harbor is Dawan Village. The main reason is that the bay is too small and there are two islands in the middle. However, this place is actually a natural shelter. Almost all fishing boats nearby dock here. Sometimes when encountering strong winds and waves, many merchant ships will dock in, so this is also the advantage of this place. I originally planned to turn this sea

Buy all the wastelands in the bay, and then rebuild and expand the middle part of the wharf to ten, so that sufficient docking can be ensured. With the help of the wharf, the central area will be built into a warehouse base. It is best to specialize in goods such as tea, sugar, spices, satin and other goods, which will attract some similar businesses to open shops. In the early stage, you can use the reduction of docking costs and warehousing costs to attract customers, and you can also use a new loading and unloading method to speed up the loading and unloading of goods..."

Yesterday, Zhao Qi went to see Dawan Village with Ermazi in the afternoon. It was indeed very desolate and was completely a place where birds could not shit.

The only benefit is that the bay is calm and the waves are quiet. A simple pier can also be used to dock medium-sized sea boats. This bay is a place where fishermen dock on weekdays. Merchant ships stay very few, but there are not none. There are more than a dozen fishermen near the beach. The ancestors all rely on fishing for a living. The houses are dilapidated and seem very poor.

After watching it on the spot, Zhao Qi naturally had some plans.

If we can buy all the wastelands near the bay, we will have a nearly three-mile-long coastline. However, if we want to transform the entire three-mile-long area, we will probably have to invest hundreds of thousands of jin. Of course, if the investment and development are successful, the income will be at least millions of jin, and we will directly become the top rich man in the Song Dynasty.

But not only does this big investment mean that the investment is huge, but the risks are also great.

To settle for the second best, Zhao Qi's plan is to buy the best section of land in the middle, with about one mile of coastline, which totals about five or six hundred acres. However, it is a dream to successfully transform the wharf and warehouse with 20,000 jin of money.

Therefore, Zhao Qi could only settle for the second best, which is what Liu Dong mentioned, the 300 acres of completely wasteland, which is near the dock, with a coastline of about 300 meters, but there are reefs everywhere. It will cost a lot of money to transform and level it. The advantage is that once it is done, it will basically be in the core area of ​​the central part of the harbor. In the future, others can only expand to both sides if they want to come.

But no matter which development method is, once you spend your efforts to attract merchants to make this place lively, the villagers of Dawan Village will inevitably become jealous and it is very troublesome to pull it off. If the goods of the merchant are destroyed, the merchant cannot withstand the evacuation after a few times, and the last hard work will be in vain.

In later generations, many remote mountain villages were slaughtered by local officials after the developer was successfully developed, and they could not win a lawsuit.
