Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading Chapter 282: Beat magic with magic

Chen Luo looked at the clan record sent by Princess Pingyang, and drew a pen on it.

"The Leyacheng clan has a total of sixteen clans, nine of which are currently headed by great scholars. The three clans are He, Lu, and Shi."

"The He family, the most staunch supporter of the Canal School, the owner of the family doesn't care, the mother is a dragon girl, with a second-rank cultivation. After becoming the owner of the family, it has expanded greatly, and now it is the head of the Leyacheng clan..."

"The Lu family is a local old-fashioned family in Leya City. The owner of the family, Lu Changle, has established a clan here since Leya was still in Changle, and has the highest prestige among the small and medium clans. >

"The Shi family, originally from the Qingbo City family in Lanzhou, moved to Leya a Jiazi ago. The head of the family, Shi En, sits in the position of the second-rank Confucian scholar..."

"The Liu family..."

"Deng's family..."

"Wu family..."

…

The clan chronicle is very detailed, not only recording the specific circumstances of each family, but also some introductions to the behavior of some patriarchs. After Chen Luo finished reading the clan chronicle, he had a general understanding of Leyacheng in his heart.

Walking from the study to the main hall, I saw Xiang Jixuan and Yang Qianli communicating with the master craftsmen. When Chen Luo went to see Princess Pingyang, these master craftsmen began to check the market conditions in Leya City, and they seemed to have just returned.

Seeing Chen Luo, everyone saluted, Chen Luo asked, "How many master craftsmen, can you make the budget?"

One of the master craftsmen cupped his hands and said: "Master Hou, I have a general understanding. According to the price and labor of Leya City, it is about two million taels of silver to simply repair the port to the extent that it can be put into use; However, if we want to rebuild the harbor and surrounding auxiliary facilities, we need about 2,000 workers and 13 million taels of investment.”

"Considering the short-term demand, it may increase by 20%."

Chen Luo nodded: "Well, the seaport is the lifeline of Dongcang's future. You don't need to press calculations. If the scale is larger, let's plan according to the budget of 20 million taels. Come out with a plan first. , we'll start work soon."

The master craftsmen nodded, saluted again, and left the main hall, each busy going. At this time, only Xiang Jixuan and Yang Qianli were left in the main hall, and the two looked at Chen Luo suspiciously.

"Master Hou..." Yang Qianli hesitated for a moment, then said, "Silver taels are not a problem. The land transactions in the city in the past few days alone are more than this income, but what about the local wealthy families?"

Chen Luo smiled lightly, sat down, and looked at Xiang Jixuan: "Mr. Xiang, how do you think we will fight this battle?"

Xiang Jixuan frowned: "This old man has fought with barbarians on the Great Wall of the North all his life, but he has never participated in such a thing. However, this old man feels that the three elements of decisive victory that Marquis said in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" are in the world. All are."

"The time, the right place, the people and the people."

"Forgive the old man's words, when Cangwu Shipping was abandoned back then, the canal giants now have deep roots and occupy the sky; Leya City was originally a guest place for me, even if I was waiting for no shortage of silver taels, but if the local giants join forces The materials and labor are strangled, and we can only do nothing, this is the geographical advantage; the people of Leya City have long been accustomed to the convenience of the canal, and they have little feeling about the income from shipping, and we have lost our friendship again.”

"The weather, the right place, the people and the people are all my fault. The old man feels that this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run. Why don't I go back and tell Qin Zhenshou the ins and outs of this matter, and let the government affairs hall come up with a new solution."

"As for the current transportation predicament in Dongcang City, this old man thinks that it is better for us old bones to make a few more trips, and then we will be able to make a sea shipment."

Chen Luo heard the words, got up and bowed to Xiang Jixuan, and said, "Mr. Xiang has a heart. But Luo is willing to give it a try, and asks Mr. Xiang for help."

Xiang Jixuan raised his brows and hurriedly returned the salute: "Dare to obey!"

Chen Luo nodded and said to Yang Qianli: "Mr. Yang, you are a local person in Leya City, can you find some well-informed people and spread the news widely and quickly in the market?"

Yang Qianli was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Leya City is a city of trade, and there are various news channels, so people like this are easy to find."

"That's easy to handle." Chen Luo breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Yang, please let me know that Dongcang is going to build a wharf first. The required materials can be contacted manually, but I can't pay just asking for the price. , don't spend a penny!"

"Mr. Xiang, it's hard for you to go to the port and release the pressure of the great Confucianism to confirm this news."

"I want the wealthy families in Leya City to know the news as soon as possible, so that they can unite as soon as possible."

Yang Qianli and Xiang Jixuan handed over their orders and left the main hall.

Chen Luo sat on the main seat, took out the drink that Luo Hongnu had prepared for him from the storage order, took a sip, went through his own plan again in his mind, and smiled in his heart: "A wealthy family? In Zhongjing, which city has the wealth of my Dongcang family?"

"Master Qin should be busy at this moment!"

…

East Cangcheng, Zhengshi Hall.

In the just-constructed conference hall, there are densely packed people.

Don't underestimate these people. Behind each of them is a wealthy clan with at least a great scholar.

When Qin Dangguo looked at these people, he couldn't help but sigh.

Who would have thought that a few months ago, Dongcang was still an abandoned city that no one cared about!

Qin Dangguo straightened his clothes, walked up, and saluted everyone: "Old man Qin Dangguo, greetings to all the heads of the family."

Everyone got up and returned the salute, and said in unison, "I have seen Qin Zhenshou!"

Qin Dangguo motioned everyone to sit down and said, "I invite everyone to come here for one thing."

"Dongcang City is an isolated city. The city owner wants to open the harbor and connect with Leya City. This matter requires your support."

As soon as Qin Dangguo's voice fell, the entire council hall was instantly silent.

…

Leya City, the He family.

More than a dozen patriarchs were sitting in the main hall, whispering to each other. After a while, the burly patriarch of the He family, Shi Shiran, came out, laughing.

"What kind of wind blows you all to this old man? The old man has never taken a concubine today..."

Shi En, the head of the Shi family, said anxiously, "Brother He, don't you know? Then Chen Wuhou of Dongcangcheng is going to build a seaport in Leya City!"

"Yes." Another head of the family agreed, "Although it is said that it is only between Leya and Dongcang, but there is a seaport, and there will inevitably be more ambitions."

"Yes, I was waiting to destroy the port before, but I paid a lot!"

Why don't you drink the tea served by a pretty maid, and listen to the discussions of many householders, look at Lu Changle, who has been silent, and ask, "Brother Lu, why don't you say a word?"

Lu Changle said lightly: "I see that Brother He is very confident, so why panic?"

Why don't you say it's a hearty smile, then put down the teacup and glanced at everyone in the hall: "Everyone, I have already heard the news, everyone, please be safe."

"This harbour, he can't repair it!"

"Even if Wuhou is a disciple of a saint, so what? Don't forget, everyone, there are nearly a hundred Canal families standing behind me!"

"We will join forces to lock up the labor and materials, and all the materials he wants will not be distributed! What will he use to repair?"

"Do you want to invite Bamboo Sage to come over in person to perform the magical power of 'creating something out of nothing'?"

"Even if he repairs it, can he keep it?"

"Even if he can keep it, will the cargo be able to get on the ship by then?"

"I'm in the mood!"

"What he wants to do with Wuhou in Dongcang City is his business, but in this Leya City, it's not his turn to have the final say!"

Shi En frowned slightly: "Is this a bit too offensive?"

"Otherwise, I'll communicate with Wuhou and ask him to give up the harbour. Let's sit down and discuss if there is something wrong, and I'll make up for it if it's a big deal."

Why don't you sneer: "Patriarch Shi, who do you think Wuhou is? You made up for what he asked for? Why don't I advise you, this matter is not decided by my He family. Behind are the hundreds of canal clans!"

"Wuhou has a distinguished status and can withstand the pressure of this day. If you all stand together, I am afraid that you will be crushed in an instant!"

"I want to see who will come first!"

When the words of "Why Not" fell, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

…

East Cang City.

The council hall remains silent.

The patriarchs who can be assigned by the family to Dongcang City to open a branch are naturally not idiots. They know what it means to support the port.

To be honest, they don't want to go into the muddy waters.

The world's wealthy family is a family, who doesn't have a few connections.

You said that there is no shipping, and Dongcangcheng is in short supply?

Just kidding, no one in a wealthy family doesn't have a few storage treasures. The big deal is that if the family travels a few more times, maybe they can sell at a high price in Dongcang!

Besides, in this discussion hall, there is a branch of the Canal family!

This kind of thing, it is best not to interfere! The wind is strong and the waves are rushing, if you are flooded, you will not be able to handle it.

At the same time, several patriarchs who were close to the City Lord's Mansion also frowned slightly.

Could it be that Chen Wuhou is going to be planted this time?

Reckless! You should communicate privately first and find a few leaders!

Chen Wuhou is inexperienced. Qin Dangguo, you, with big eyebrows and big eyes, don't you have such thoughts?

Confused!

For a time, the house owners in the hall lowered their heads and sipped their tea. It seemed that the tea in the Zhengshitang today was extraordinarily sweet.

Qin Dangguo took all the expressions in his eyes and sighed.

To win people's hearts, there is a long way to go!

Qin Dangguo coughed, cleared his throat, and continued: "Master Hou sent a letter that the total budget for the entire port will cost about 50 million taels of silver!"

"Among them, Dongcangcheng owns 20 million taels, and the remaining 30 million taels are divided into 3 million shares with 10 taels as one share! The first batch of 1 million shares has been released temporarily, please everyone. The head of the family donates money to help!"

"The city lord will set up a stone tablet on the harbour to engrave the clinker of each house as proof!"

As soon as these words came out, the masters shook their heads secretly.

Stun!

If you don't tell me, maybe some people will take it for granted and support it in private, after all, there is not much money.

But it's a bit too much for you to want to be famous!

I'm afraid I'll get nothing out of this discussion!

Qin Dangguo continued: "The city lord's mansion decrees that if you buy 1,500 shares, you can get 100 Dongcangcheng contribution points!"

The patriarchs suddenly raised their heads and looked at Qin Dangguo.

You must know that in today's Dongcang City, the most precious thing is not gold and silver jewelry, but various points.

For example, contribution points, such as sword points, and martial arts credits that will appear in the future.

These are all linked to treasures.

For example, the current shops are all rented, do you want to buy? Yes, as long as the contribution points meet the standard.

Another example is the house of a wealthy family. Without contributing points, you are not even eligible to bid. For this reason, those families specially transferred the great Confucianists of their own family, went deep into Dayeling and killed an unknown number of third-rank barbarian blood beasts, and then they have their current family business.

A child who gets one or two points in the martial arts hall earns much more than his parents work hard for a month.

Therefore, in Dongcang City, points are more important than money, and there is no other way to obtain them except for the task of the Zhengshitang.

This time, have you released the water? 15,000 taels of silver, 100 points, and 152.1 points, which is not expensive, it is simply a free gift!

A patriarch asked: "Qin Zhenshou, seriously?"

Qin Dangguo nodded: "It will take effect now!"

The faces of the clan masters showed embarrassment. They are not easy to fool. This is obviously to tie them to the same warship! This matter still needs to go back to study and judge!

At this time, Qin Dangguo said indifferently: "This matter, Dongcang City just notified it an hour in advance. After an hour, it will be spread all over the world through Daxuan Minbao."

"In addition, each company can only purchase a maximum of 30,000 shares. If you purchase within one hour, the rewarded contribution points will be doubled!"

"Time to start now!"

After Qin Dangguo finished speaking, the staff of the Political Affairs Hall immediately brought up a huge transparent crystal. The crystal was hollow and filled with water. The crystal was on the top and a circular sink was below. It is dripping down the small hole at the bottom of the crystal.

This is a water leak. When the water in the crystal runs out, it is exactly one hour.

At this time, the drop of water fell into the sink, making a crisp sound, as if it fell into the heart of every home owner.

"Everyone, don't blame me." Qin Dangguo sighed and said, "You are all people who came to Dongcangcheng to branch out, and this place will be yours in the future. The foundation!"

As soon as these words came out, in the crowd, Meng Shi Meng Jinghui suddenly slapped his thigh.

"My Meng family is not the Canal family!"

"Why don't you agree to such a good thing!"

"Qin Zhenshou, 30,000 shares, my Meng family wants it!"

As soon as Meng Jinghui said these words, the other owners of the family subconsciously shouted: "A certain family also wants to!"

"That is, my Zhang family is not in line with the canal, and the Zhang family also needs 30,000 shares!"

"Qin Zhenshou, where is the contract? This old man will sign it..."

…

There is a saying in a previous life, called the silent majority.

Those who clamor all day do not represent all, even, they are the minority group.

The real power lies in the silent majority.

If you ask Daxuan how many clans there are, it is difficult for anyone to give a specific number.

But there must be thousands of families.

And how many canal families are there?

It is known as a hundred schools, but after removing the number of them, there are only thirty or forty.

Why are they the loudest?

Because the river transportation came first~IndoMTL.com~ they developed first, and the shipping family can't compare to them.

And most of the clans are just silent and on the sidelines!

Chen Luo's purpose is to stir up some of the silent majority.

In the study, Chen Luo looked at the sky through the window.

"Occupy the time?"

"I want you to know what it means to be in the sky!"

"One more fire!"

After thinking about it, Chen Luo picked up the pen and wrote——

"The sky is blue, the land of yellow flowers, the west wind is tight, and the north swallow flies to the south."

"Whoever dyes the frost and gets drunk in the morning is full of tears."

"It's hard for real men and women to be confidants."

"May all lovers in the world be married."

"Reservation for the new drama "The Story of the West Chamber"."

"Every purchase of 10,000 shares will give you a premiere ticket."

"Invite three people to buy and get a free premiere ticket."

The trend of my gamer clan?

Watch me beat magic with magic!

Chen Luo's first step, the time of the day!
