"During dinner, you can find an opportunity to secretly talk to Yue Zhang, just say that I plan to build a new city in the south of Wancheng in a few days, and I plan to develop a total of [-] mu of houses, which is equivalent to the current Wancheng city. About one-half of the original site."

"At that time, I will select the best location on the [-]-acre plain to build thirty mansions with the same specifications as our mansion. Except for the first ten for other purposes, the remaining twenty The complex will be auctioned off.”

"Just tell your father-in-law that apart from our own Wanguohou Mansion, among the remaining nine wealthy families, he and Zhou Zhong from the Zhou family can each choose one and pre-sell it to them internally at cost price." .”

"As for the rest of the wealthy Washington for sale, regardless of the size of the lot, as long as the price is right, the Qiao family can take as many places as possible. As long as they change hands next spring, the Qiao family will definitely not suffer a loss."

Whispering to Qiao Ying, Zhang Yan decided to release the news to the Qiao family in advance after thinking for a moment, and then through the Qiao family to the ears of the Zhou family, another aristocratic family in Lujiang.

According to Qiao Xuan's extremely slippery temperament, he would naturally know how much this information difference could bring to the Qiao family.

As for whether the Qiao family will pre-purchase some in advance for investment before the housing prices in the southern new city increase, or deploy their own commercial properties in the south in advance, that is the other party's business, and Zhang Yan will definitely not interfere.

As long as the Qiao family's behavior is not so bad that they intentionally drive up housing prices and make ordinary people have no houses to live in, it is Qiao Xuan's ability to earn more or less.

Not to mention, during the construction of the new city, in order to drive some popularity, Zhang Yan needed local leaders like the Qiao family and the Zhou family to take the lead and help him build the livelihood facilities in the new city.

For key industries such as hospitals and schools, Zhang Yan will definitely hold them in his own hands, and will not easily release such fundamental industries of the country.

But if it is some vegetable market, square market and other places, he does not intend to intervene too much.

The key industries are controlled by the government, and the people's livelihood industries develop freely. This can also be said to be a traditional model that Zhang Yan is very familiar with.

On the other side, Qiao Ying was taken aback when she heard the words, and soon understood what Zhang Yan meant.

She is not a fool at all, and she comes from a wealthy family like the Qiao family, so even though she is a girl, she is quite clear about the activities between these families and those in power.

Not to mention that during this time, in order to act as a buffer between her father Qiao Xuan and her husband Zhang Yan, Qiao Ying was under a lot of pressure.

Now that Zhang Yan is willing to show his favor to his family, whether it is due to the relationship between the two families or due to political considerations, Qiaoying can finally relax a bit, and no longer have to worry about being unable to face her sad father .

As for what her father Qiao Xuan would do and what he could get, it was not something she, a woman, could easily interfere with.

As the link between the Qiao family and Zhang Yan, at this time, she just needs to convey Zhang Yan's thoughts truthfully.

……

"Well, okay, I see."

"I'll go and talk to my father when we have dinner in the evening."

Seeing Qiao Ying nodding his head half-understanding, Zhang Yan also felt a little more relaxed.

He can naturally see that Qiao Xuan has always wanted to meet with him intentionally or unintentionally during this period of time, so as to learn about his actions in the next period of time.

But for the sake of avoiding suspicion, Zhang Yan has not said much about these things, and pretended not to notice Qiao Xuan's hints several times.

It’s just that no matter how you say it, Qiao Xuan has always provided him with a lot of help during this period, and helped to block the visits of many aristocratic families in Lujiang, and he himself never made things difficult for Zhang Yan’s actions...

Therefore, for the Qiao family, Zhang Yan still has to be more sympathetic.

According to the results of discussions between Zhang Yan, Kuai Qi and others, their plan to develop a new city in the south of Wancheng will last for a long time, and it will not happen overnight.

However, when the entire plan is completed, the entire large plain in the north of Wanhe River will be used in the construction of the new city, and the Wanhe River and Didian River will wrap the entire Wancheng City from west to east, and at the same time serve as the natural area of ​​Wancheng City. The moat provides a solid guarantee for the safety of residents in the city.

On this entire plain, Zhang Yan will build at least [-] sets of rich and powerful buildings of about [-] acres, specially used to "harvest" those top rich and powerful families who heard the news, including his friends Yuan family and Cao family. It is the main target of his aim.

In addition, in addition to these wealthy villas, Zhang Yan will also build about [-] medium-sized courtyards to provide services for ordinary families and local upstarts.

These medium-sized courtyards Zhang Yan intends to control each set of four or five acres of land, and make it into a unified style of three entrances and three exits, seven rooms and two halls that is common in Luoyang. The specific design only needs to copy the house drawings provided by the system, almost He didn't need to spend any thought.

As for the remaining vast land, it is naturally prepared for the displaced ordinary people in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Considering the living needs of people in single-family homes in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Yan planned to build a very simple two-bedroom and one living room here. In addition to the central hall being used as a living room, there are only two wing rooms with no restrictions on functions, one on the left and one on the right. , which is enough to meet the usage scenarios of most families of five.

As for the cost, Zhang Yan is confident that the cost of this small courtyard with more than [-] square meters and an area of ​​less than one mu will be controlled within [-] yuan in the case of a large number of streamlined production buildings.

This is also a handicraft worker at the lowest level in Lujiang, struggling to earn a salary of three to five years.

If the government guarantees the loan for ten years, it won't take long before there will be no more homeless people in Wancheng.

If all goes well in the future, when the new city is built, the population that Wancheng can accommodate will soar from around [-] to over [-] in an instant, which is almost doubled.

In the process of this population surge, as long as the Qiao family does not make any decision-making mistakes, they will definitely be able to make a lot of money, and even take advantage of the rise in the status of Wancheng to become even more popular in the gentry system in the entire Jiangdong area. further.

And this is exactly the result Zhang Yan wants to get.

In the short term, Zhang Yan will not directly confront the aristocratic family until he has enough strength. At least before the rise of the poor family, Zhang Yan will not tear his skin against those rich families like Gu Lu Zhu Zhang.

Under such circumstances, if Zhang Yan wants to have a relationship with the other party, he must follow the other party's existing game rules and enter the arena as the same family.

Given that he himself does not have the background of Yingchuan Chen and Xun, the Qiao family can obviously be used as a suitable white glove in Zhang Yan's negotiations with other Jiangdong families.

At the very least, based on his relationship with Qiao Ying, no matter what the family's final outcome is, the Qiao family will not be harmed at all, and will only be absorbed and adopted by Zhang Yan as an "advanced individual" among the "backward groups".

Under such circumstances, the Qiao family will almost always be in the same chariot as him, and will never betray easily.

……

"By the way, Ying'er, you can tell Yue Zhang about the news that Lujiang County is about to build a large library. You don't need to mention anything else, just explain the purpose and purpose of my building this library."

"Yue Zhang will understand."

In the end, after seeing that Qiao Ying had already understood what she meant, Zhang Yan couldn't help but remind him.

In Zhang Yan's view, as long as Qiao Ying discloses this news to Qiao Xuan, if the other party is not stupid, he will definitely understand two meanings from his words.

First, of course, in the next three to five years, the population of Wancheng—or the entire Lujiang River will usher in a leap-forward growth. As the owner of the family, Qiao Xuan must understand what this means for the economic development of Wancheng. What.

The second, which is a deeper meaning, is that Zhang Yan, the current chief of Lujiang, is using this news to find out the attitude of the Qiao family.

If the Qiao family wants to make friends with Zhang Yan and really work together with Zhang Yan, then Qiao Xuan will definitely provide Zhang Yan with all the books in his family as the mother copy, as the first batch of books in the Lujiang Library. While helping Zhang Yan's actions, he also set an example for other aristocratic families in the world.

And if the Qiao family is really unwilling to share this knowledge...it means that the other party's ideological awareness has not yet reached that level, and the Qiao family and ordinary families are placed in the same trench.

Zhang Yan believed that with Qiao Xuan's ability, the other party would definitely make an appropriate choice.

Of course, according to Qiao Xuan's status and identity, he can also know the news in advance through the servants in his family, and Zhang Yan doesn't need to say anything more.

But looking at it from another angle, since Qiao Xuan would know the news about the Great Library in advance no matter what, Zhang Yan might as well inform the other party proactively. Not only will he not cause any loss to himself, but he can also sell the other party a favor.

As for the collection of books at home, if Zhang Yan estimated that they were good, Qiao Xuan would definitely find a chance to offer them.

One must know that Zhang Yan, as the prefect of Lujiang, has a lot of power, and now the benefits of money and the like are just the beginning for the Qiao family's back-feeding.

After the Lujiang Great Library was built, the countless books in the library were naturally close to the water in the end, which made it easier for the scholars of the Qiao family who had taken root in Wancheng for hundreds of years.

After all, although every citizen in Lujiang is eligible to enter the library to read...

But if they are really ordinary people, regardless of whether they can read or write, it is not easy to find time to avoid running around for their livelihood.

Chapter 1 Changsha

July in Changsha is in midsummer, and it can be said to be the coolest time of the year.

Different from the humidity in the east of the river and the drought in the north, Linxiang City, built along the river, is the county seat of Changsha County. The water network in the territory is not dense, but it relies on the Xiangshui River, and the temperature has never been so high that it is unacceptable. .

Just inside a military camp outside Linxiang City, a young and handsome boy was looking at the soldiers who were constantly training in front of him, thinking about the big battle a few days ago.

Doing the math, two or three months have passed since Zhou Yu traveled all the way up the Yangtze River to Changsha County.

Just a few days ago, Zhou Yu, as a Sima under Sun Jian, led [-] sailors to formally defeat the last wave of water bandits fleeing on the Xiangjiang River, and completely put down the rebellion in Changsha.

Although the thief general Ou Xing had pleaded guilty as early as last year, but those Ou Xing's former subordinates were still cruising on the Xiangjiang Juzi Island, and they were not purged until a few days ago.

It is precisely by virtue of such credit that Zhou Yu stood out among Sun Jian's fierce generals and gained the command power of the entire Changsha navy.

Of course, it is inevitable to have the help of Sun Ce, the second generation of the army.

Up to now, the entire Xiangjiang River waters have finally escaped the control of the remnants of Ouxing. Linxiang County, which was originally severely restricted in terms of transportation and trade, has once again become the economic center of Changsha County, and even the entire southern part of Jingzhou, and Xiangyang, located in the northwest of Jingzhou. The region shines in the distance from the south to the north.

Naturally, Sun Jian, a big man, is extremely rare in the mainland, and Wu Chenghou, who started his career with a lot of military achievements, was also in the spotlight for a while, and even Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, two rising stars, appeared in the eyes of the people in the entire Jingnan area.

It's just different from that high-spirited appearance, Zhou Yu's expression and demeanor at this moment are much calmer than when he just came to Changsha to join his brother-in-law.

After all, people will grow, everyone will gain different insights from the same experience, and grow into different personalities at the same time.

As a scholar who has been famous in Jiangdong for his intelligence since he was a child, Zhou Yu's growth rate is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people.

In just two or three months, Zhou Yu, who came to Changsha alone at the beginning, was like a different person. If he was compared to a rough rough stone, then he is now a rough jade that has just been polished. , not only became warm and warm, but also revealed the tip of the iceberg of his inner value, making others involuntarily want to find out its deeper brilliance.

After following his eldest brother in this military camp for a long time, he, Zhou Gongjin, is no longer as arrogant as before.

"Phew - in this way, it can be regarded as a small achievement."

Watching the hard-trained soldiers in front of him, and seeing them constantly brandishing weapons in their hands, Zhou Yu also had a look of relief on his face.

Perhaps when he had just left Lujiang to go to Changsha, Zhou Yu inevitably had a hint of anger in his heart, wanting to prove to Qiao Xuan and others that the difference between himself and those mediocre people was like cloud and mud. It's not the same thing, it's a very stupid idea to judge yourself by your fame.

It's just that after experiencing many things, he also quickly realized his childish impulse, and realized how arrogant he was back then.

But then again, when a man deals with things, he should do what he says and do what he does. A gentleman should not joke, and joking is definitely not a gentleman.

Although his behavior of leaving Lujiang at the beginning seems a bit hasty now, but now that he has come, Zhou Yu does not intend to go back just like this, but wants to make a living in this foreign place at the age of teens. Fame comes out.

From this point of view, although Zhou Yu's xinxing has grown a lot compared to before, in terms of his heart is higher than the sky, Zhou Gongjin is still the same Zhou Gongjin, and has not changed in any way.

Fortunately, Zhou Yu is not only an arrogant person, but also has a talent that matches her ambition.

Even though he is still a bit unconvincing at his current age, Zhou Yu still made some achievements quickly by virtue of his own ability, which made Cheng Pu and other veterans under Sun Jian's subordinates look up to him.

It was precisely because of this that Sun Jian made an extraordinary promise to him, and after the Changsha area stabilized, he took the initiative to present his ability to Liu Hong, the current emperor of Han, and recommended him to become a powerful official in Changsha County.

At that time, Zhou Gongjin will be regarded as a real fame, and he will no longer walk in the world as an ordinary retainer.

Similarly, when that time comes, he can be regarded as returning home when he goes home to visit his relatives.

……

"Hehe, I don't know how the family is doing now. Is my uncle's health still considered healthy?"

On the surface, Zhou Yu was seriously supervising the training of two thousand soldiers and horses, but Zhou Yu was thinking about some things in his hometown of Lujiang at the moment.

It's been a while since he came to Changsha, and Zhou Yu doesn't know what's going on at home now, and whether any major changes have taken place in Wancheng and Shuxian.

He was originally a wanderer, and now that he has made some achievements, it is inevitable that he has a thought of going back to his hometown to have a look.

In fact, to be honest, Zhou Yu has now obtained the command power of two thousand sailors under Sun Jian's command, and he and Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce are brothers to each other. trust.

If he returned to Lujiang now, it would not be too embarrassing.
