At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

After the dinner, Xia Yun arranged accommodation for a group of Dai County merchants in Hangzhou city.

Speaking of which, these Dai County merchants are indeed very wealthy.

Xia Yun originally planned to arrange for them to stay in the inn.

But people just spent money to buy houses and buildings around the prefectural government office.

The reason is very simple. They came to Hangzhou and were determined to cling to Xia Yun's support.

No matter what they said, they would never return to Dai County.

"Sir, these merchants have come to Hangzhou, what should we do in Dai County?"

In the prefectural government office, after all matters were arranged, Xu Wan'er appeared behind Xia Yun.

"It doesn't matter."

Xia Yun waved his hand, a calm look on his face.

"These guys leaving Dai County will make Dai County less constrained. They can play a greater role here."

Xia Yun added.

It would be very difficult to rebuild such a huge city as Hangzhou relying solely on the power of a prefectural government office.

But if a group of wealthy businessmen with construction experience could get involved, the progress would undoubtedly be accelerated a lot.

Silent all night.

In a blink of an eye, the next day dawned.

With the crow of three roosters, the whole city of Hangzhou began a new busy day.

Over the past few days, under the leadership of Xu Wan'er, the disaster situation of the victims in Hangzhou City has been fundamentally reversed.

Although they had missed the farming season, these disaster victims successfully completed the transformation from farmers to workers.

Since the establishment of the Hangzhou Construction Bureau, no one has starved to death in Hangzhou City!

Under Xu Wan'er's intensive arrangements, Hangzhou City launched a comprehensive infrastructure project.

Twelve salt warehouses, twelve granaries, and the construction of roads made the entire city of Hangzhou look bustling again.

"Pass on this government's order to set up eight porridge stalls outside Hangzhou, 50 miles away from the four city gates, to provide relief to the refugees."

"Order Jiang Wenzhong to send a team of soldiers to Huguang Province to purchase 100,000 mulberry seedlings and transport them back to Hangzhou as soon as possible."

Early in the morning of that day, Xia Yun issued two orders in succession.

Providing relief to refugees is intended, firstly, to alleviate the disaster in the entire Zhejiang region, and secondly, to accelerate the economic recovery in Zhejiang.

The purpose of purchasing 100,000 mulberry seedlings was that Xia Yun was targeting the silk industry.

In the huge city of Hangzhou, if we were to talk about the two most profitable businesses, the first one would undoubtedly be the salt industry.

The industry second only to salt is silk.

Silk can be supplied to domestic dignitaries and also exported across the oceans, bringing in millions of profits.

"Sir, the bidding venue has been set up and the bidding activities can begin at any time."

Soon, Xu Wan'er appeared in the government court.

In fact, before dawn, Xu Wan'er had already started her busy work.

"well done."

When Xia Yun looked at Xu Wan'er, he nodded, affirming Xu Wan'er's work.

"Pass the order, set off firecrackers!"

Then, Xia Yun waved his hand and made a decision.

The bidding venue was chosen to be next to the prefectural government office.

After everyone left the yamen and looked to the right, they could see a two-story building covering an area of ​​over a thousand square meters, similar to a teahouse.

Originally this was a group of old houses.

Under Xu Wan'er's planning, the Construction Bureau converted the building into a conference venue in just a few days.

Of course, the materials used in the venue itself are all high-quality wood, and no concrete structure is used.

This is also the main reason why the building could be constructed in just a few days.

“Crack, crack, crack!”

In front of the venue gate, two soldiers lit firecrackers. The crackling sound of the explosions instantly echoed throughout several nearby streets.

However, in sharp contrast to the intense sound of firecrackers, the number of Hangzhou merchants gathered in front of the venue was pitifully small.

At first glance, there were only fifty or sixty people.

Moreover, the status of these fifty or sixty people in Hangzhou City was only that of middle-level merchants.

Obviously, someone is doing bad things in secret again.

But this time, Xia Yun was not worried at all. He only heard a call in his ear.

"Sir, we are late!"

"I was exhausted from the long journey yesterday, so I got up late. Please forgive me, sir!"

"..."

Dozens of Dai County businessmen gathered together and appeared in the sight of everyone at the venue.

It turned out that these Dai County merchants had been traveling day and night and had not had a good rest.

It was not until last night that I had a good night's sleep.

After a while, the late merchants from Dai County arrived at the gate of the venue.

"No problem, everyone please follow me in."

Xia Yun responded with a nonchalant look on his face, and then took the lead and walked into the venue.

I have to say that although the entire venue is made of wood, one can see the great deal of thought that Xu Wan'er put into it.

Entering the venue through the main gate, there are hundreds of young and beautiful women standing on both sides, acting as guides.

Almost every businessman who came to participate in the bidding was led by a guide.

In addition, the interior of the venue is decorated quite magnificently.

In the lobby on the first floor, there is a tea table every five steps, and the seats are semi-enclosed, adding a certain degree of privacy.

All the wood used in the venue is high-quality mahogany, and the woody fragrance it exudes lingers in the venue all the time.

"Sir, the function of the lobby on the first floor is similar to that of a teahouse. All merchants can discuss business, trade, and discuss cooperation here."

Xu Wan'er took the initiative to speak and explain for Xia Yun.

The venue was just completed yesterday, so Xia Yun didn't have the chance to visit it first.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Xia Yun nodded with satisfaction. Xu Wan'er had been with him for three years and had finally learned a lot.

“After this bidding activity is completed, this place can be set up as an exchange.”

Xia Yun added.

At the same time, a more ambitious business plan was quietly brewing in his heart.

Soon, everyone arrived at the meeting place on the second floor.

In short, this is a large auction venue with luxurious decoration.

Under the guidance of a group of maids, Xia Yun and a group of businessmen who came to participate in the bidding took their seats in the auction hall.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Wan'er appeared on the auction table.

"Welcome everyone to participate in this bidding auction."

Xu Wan'er made a brief entrance speech, and thunderous applause broke out from the audience in the auction hall.

Although Xu Wan'er was a girl, no one at the scene dared to show any disrespect to her.

Needless to say, the merchants from Dai County have already experienced Xu Wan'er's methods in the past three years.

Dozens of merchants from Hangzhou City have been getting to know me over the past ten days or so, and have gradually come to know this prefectural advisor who seems gentle but is actually tough.

In fact, since Xu Wan'er also serves as the director of the Hangzhou Construction Bureau, many people respect Xu Wan'er more than Xia Yun.
