I am not an ant thief in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 480, The First Town in the World

At this time, the glass manufacturing factory was several times larger than when Xu Wei built it, and there were countless more workshops around the factory building, which completely became a prosperous town. It is a carriage that pulls newly made glass products and sells them.

Not far away, the sails are swimming to cover the sky, and the pier is already full of ships transporting glass, and these transport ships can be seen coming in and out from time to time.They brought goods to sell in Zhangwu, and then exported various glass products to other regions.

There are many small vendors around the glass factory, which makes the surrounding area very lively, and it is not lost to the prosperous county town!

Seeing such a lively scene, Zhen An flattered and said: "It's really a golden hand to be in power. Three years ago, this place was barren, but now it has become a bustling city. Just judging by the crowds coming in and out of here. , there should be tens of thousands of people!"

Zhen An is a native of Jizhou. He knows that this area was still a barren land three years ago, and he has been here several times to buy glass products. It can be said that the changes here are very big every time, three times a year. It is not an exaggeration, at this time the level of prosperity here has not lost to the mainland of Jizhou.

He finally understood at this moment that what the ancients said about a city being built in one year and Chengdu in three years was not an exaggeration, but that it was possible that the people in ancient times had seen such a scene, and their ability to govern was as good as that of the ancient sage kings!

As an escort, Zhang Baiqi said proudly: "Jeju Glass Factory currently employs more than 2000 people, and the entire glass industry chain has more than 5000 workers, and the number of other workers serving these workers exceeds [-]. , but there are [-] people living here, which is already the standard of Shangxian County, but this is far from the deadline for Zhangwu. Judging from the current development trend, Zhangwu can become a city alone in less than ten years. county!"

Zhang Baiqi, as a Jizhou shepherd, came here in person because he wanted to report to Xu Wei his achievements in the past three years. In less than three years, he created a prosperous city with great potential. This kind of political achievement is unheard of and unseen in the hundreds of years of Dahan's history. Of course, he wants to let more people know about his political achievements!
Jia Xu and Xiang Kai were also amazed. Both of them have seen the prosperity of Luoyang City. As the capital of the great Han, Luoyang City is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best city in the world.

They traveled along the way, and every household was built with masonry structures and glass windows, which made the city even more dazzling, and there was no dust flying on the streets. The whole Zhangwu was either paved with cement or paved with The green brick roads make the whole city look exceptionally clean and tidy, which even Luoyang City can't do.

Just looking at the prosperity of Zhangwu, it is not inferior to Luoyang City. The current Zhangwu is only a little smaller in scale and heritage, but the degree of wealth exceeds Luoyang City.

If they didn't know how talented Zhang Baiqi was, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Zhang Baiqi is the unparalleled national scholar just by looking at this city.

But the two of them clearly understand that the current prosperity of Glass Town is due to the ruling's guidance.Seeing such a wealthy town, the two of them finally let go of their worries about the 800 billion debt!Sure enough, it is very stupid to talk about money with the ruling party.

Zhang Baiqi continued to accept: "There are already more than dozens of factories producing various glass products here, which can produce hundreds of kinds of glass products, with an annual output value of tens of billions. Although the population of Zhangwu is not large , but it can already be regarded as the richest place in Ji County."

The glass workers in Jizhou are all gold-collared, with a monthly income of more than 3000 yuan, and master craftsmen have tens of thousands of dollars. This is to make money with their own craftsmanship. The more skilled the craftsman is, the more money he earns. .

The glass products that Xu Wei can think of are glass windows, magnifying glasses, binoculars, water cups and other daily necessities, because in his time, glass was not considered a valuable item at all, so the route Xu Wei made for the glass factory at the beginning was a kind of Ordinary commodities that have entered thousands of households, just like the current porcelain bowls, have entered thousands of households.

The strategy he and Zhang Baiqi made at the beginning was to enjoy the bonus for a few years first, and then take the road of winning by quantity!

But in this era, glass is a kind of gemstone. It is a very precious treasure and an extremely precious luxury in the eyes of the common people.Even if Zhang Baiqi has completely crushed the glass gemstone market, it is still difficult to change the concept that has been in everyone's mind for thousands of years.

So when the Jizhou Glass Factory started construction and did not enter the gemstone market, there were foresighted businessmen who saw the needles immediately. They brought master craftsmen to Zhangwu and opened some small workshop gemstone processing factories.

They import raw materials from glass factories to make all kinds of glass gems, glass dolls, glass corals, glass rockery, and all kinds of glass jewelry and glass ornaments. In short, as long as they are expensive luxury goods owned by big men, they are all produced with glass. , made of golden light, dazzling, just like the gemstone necklaces of those third-rate idol dramas, full of the dazzling light of nouveau riche.

Then sell it to rich merchants and rich farmers who want to show off, rich herdsmen and middle and high-level craftsmen!
In the whole of Hebei, because of Xu Wei's hacking, productivity has skyrocketed, and the wealth of the entire society has also grown explosively. In addition, the distribution system formulated by Xu Wei is relatively reasonable, benefiting the middle and lower classes.

In Hebei now, not only the number of rich people has increased, but also the number of wealthy people has increased dozens of times. These wealthy people are the middle class of this era.

They also have a need for luxury goods. They cannot afford a gem worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars.But glass beads, glass cups, glass necklaces, glass bracelets and other glass ornaments worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars are in great demand.

This has created a huge luxury market. Skilled craftsmen will make glass into various high-end gemstones, necklaces and jewelry and other precious items. Although these glass products can no longer be sold at the price of gemstones, they can be sold With the price of luxury goods in the hundreds or thousands, it can be said that the profit in this business is huge, basically ranging from several times to dozens of times.

The more exquisite the craftsmanship of the craftsman, the higher the price. That's why a group of wealthy craftsmen have been created. It can be said that this is the job with the highest income, and the income of supporting workers in glass factories generally exceeds a thousand dollars.

Based on the per capita monthly salary, this place should be the highest in the whole of Hebei.Of course, the wealth they produce is also the highest. With a population of 50, they have produced more than [-] billion in wealth, and the average output value per person exceeds [-]. This should also be the highest in the entire world.

It is because of such a huge wealth that this fairy-tale town has been created.
