Chapter 220 Industrial Planning
Song Gaolang slowly stood up, turned his head to look at Master Guo, and only after seeing Master Guo sit down did he dare to sit next to Jiang Zuo.
Jiang Zuo personally poured him a cup of tea and said, "Song County Magistrate, right?"
Song Gaolang looked respectful, raised his cup with both hands, thanked Jiang Zuo for his kindness, and said: "It's really me. When Jiang Patrol came to Jiangzhou City for the first time, I was unable to greet him in time. Please forgive me, Jiang Patrol."
In fact, Jiang Zuo refused to meet with these local officials because he did not want to be disturbed.
"No need to be polite."
Jiang Zuo said.
"Song County Magistrate, your Jiangzhou City has great development potential. I may settle down here in the future. All the affairs in the city still need your support."
"Of course, of course. Thanks to Patrol Officer Jiang for his care."
Song Gaolang smiled happily. When he heard this, he understood the meaning.
"Song County Magistrate, I wonder how many households there are in Jiangzhou City?"
Jiang Zuo suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Song Gaolang's smiling face suddenly became a little nervous. He didn't seem to know the answer to this question.
"Um, sir, about three thousand households..."
Song Gaolang did not normally deal with these matters. As the magistrate of Jiangzhou County, he did not even know how many people there were in Jiangzhou.
Jiang Zuo said, "Three thousand households, with five people in each household, that's about fifteen thousand people, which is still a little less."
If you want to develop the economy in Jiangzhou, such a small amount of labor is naturally not enough.
Song Gaolang wiped the sweat from his forehead, calmed down the tension in his heart, and asked: "I wonder if Lord Jiang has any instructions for this matter?"
"I plan to invest in Jiangzhou to develop its industry. I will need the support of you local officials at that time."
Jiang Zuo said again.
Song Gaolang didn't understand what he said, but he couldn't show his weakness, so he just nodded and said, "As long as the adults
"Maybe I can make a lot of money by then, and you, County Magistrate Song, will also get a share."
"Hush, sir."
Song Gaolang suddenly looked flustered, and looked around. Seeing that there was no one around, he dared to speak: "Master Jiang, these things cannot be publicized like this."
As the magistrate of Jiangzhou County, he was not considered to be honest on a daily basis, but in this small city of Jiangzhou, there was not much money to be made, and if we talk about corrupt officials, he did not have much to be corrupt about.
Now Jiang Zuo actually spoke these things out loud, which really shocked Song Gaolang.
You know, the current emperor hates corruption extremely. If they were caught, these small officials would probably lose their lives the next day.
"What are you afraid of? I am doing legitimate business and earning legal income. I have no guilty conscience."
Jiang Zuo said calmly.
"Regular business?"
Song Gaolang was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Jiang Zuo was trying to say.
"Give me a count of all the refugees, beggars, and idlers in Jiangzhou City."
Jiang Zuo ordered.
"Your Excellency means that we should capture these people and make them serve in the army?"
Song Gaolang whispered.
"No, I'm giving them a job."
Jiang Zuo said.
"Work?"
Song Gaolang was even more confused.
"Just do as you are told."
Jiang Zuo said.
"Yes, my lord."
Song Gaolang nodded.
"Also, don't publicize this matter yet. Just assign all your trusted people to handle it."
Jiang Zuo instructed.
"Of course, please rest assured, sir."
Song Gaolang leaned over and nodded.
The next day.
The sudden rain stopped.
Jiang Zuo stood on the Jiangzhou city wall, overlooking the entire Jiangzhou county.
"I plan to build six new factories in Jiangzhou. All the useless vacant land in the city should be found and used to build factories."
Jiang Zuo said to Master Guo who was standing beside him.
Some factories in Anding County have been moved to Jizhou Prefecture.
If Jiangzuo wants to expand the market, it also needs to transfer some industries to Jiangzhou area, which can save a lot of costs.
Now it is inevitable that Yan State will attack Chen State. If Yan State can really annex Chen State, the Jiangzhou area will definitely become a new economic center.
By that time, with the status of Jiangzuo, it will definitely be able to develop into a new and stable county.
Jiang Zuo added: "Publish the recruitment notice right now and hire as many people as possible."
"County Magistrate Song has already counted the number of people, and it's only over 600 people."
Master Guo said.
"How can more than 600 be enough?"
Jiang Zuo shook his head.
By then, a series of infrastructure construction will inevitably have to be carried out in the Jiangzhou area, which will require at least thousands of workers to meet the needs of Jiangzuo.
While they were chatting, Szeto Wah came up to them.
"My Lord, a letter from His Majesty."
Situ Huake looked for Jiang Zuo for a long time and handed the letter in his hand to him.
"Got it. You take it first." Jiang Zuo replied calmly, and then started chatting with Master Guo again.
Situ Hua frowned and asked in confusion, "Sir, what are you talking about?"
"Nothing, just discussing setting up a factory."
Jiang Zuo said calmly.
"factory?"
Szeto Wah didn't understand.
At this time, Jiang Zuo said to Master Guo: "How about this, you send someone to Chen State to post a recruitment notice and raise the salary to two taels per month. This will definitely attract more people from Chen State to Jiangzhou."
This was the trick used before to continuously absorb the population of Mobei.
Nowadays, the living conditions of the people in Chen State cannot be said to be very good, at least they can't get enough food. If such a good job appears, a large number of people will definitely flock in.
"Sir, two taels a month is a bit too much."
Master Guo took note of Jiang Zuo's words, but did not quite agree with Jiang Zuo's proposal.
"It doesn't matter. You have to invest more in the early stage."
Jiang Zuo said.
Master Guo said: "But sir, this Jiangzhou County is still too small, our factory can only be built outside the city."
"There are still many vacant lots in the city." Jiang Zuo pointed to the distance and said, "These dilapidated wooden houses are not as good as the resettlement houses we built casually. Let's tear them all down. Buy as much of these plots of land as we can. I will carry out a large-scale demolition in Jiangzhou City."
The streets and houses of this small town in front of me are really too chaotic.
Jiang Zuo is preparing to carry out a large-scale demolition of Jiangzhou City.
When he first arrived in Jiangzhou City, Jiang Zuo was already the largest landlord here.
He has acquired a large number of both spacious mansions and narrow wooden houses.
Listening to their conversation, Situ Hua was completely stunned. After thinking about it, he still couldn't figure out what they were talking about. He could only say, "While you are busy with this matter, don't forget the instructions of His Majesty."
"Okay, don't worry, I will never neglect it."
Jiang Zuo nodded.
Only then did Situ Hua leave with peace of mind.
Your Majesty's instructions?
What instructions?
What did Situ Hua say just now?
Jiang Zuo was slightly stunned.
At this time, Master Guo on the side said, "Sir, I will order someone to handle it now."
Jiang Zuo nodded slightly, looking down at the entire Jiangzhou below, and had a plan in mind.
