Looking at the shops on the street and thinking about how much money Li Chang'an could make, He Qiang couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Highness is truly a peerless genius. By this calculation, Your Highness didn't have to spend much money to build this city."
Upon hearing this, Li Chang'an shook his head at him.
Spending money to build a city?
He underestimated the earning potential of real estate and the working ability of the people of the Ming Dynasty.
To be honest, Li Chang'an genuinely liked these people.
Poor but shrewd.
Even though their wages were calculated daily, they never hesitated to work without any intention of delaying.
Everyone wants to work as much as possible so they can feel at ease taking the money.
They kept trying to find ways to save money for Li Chang'an.
They not only do the kind of thing that involves working overtime for free, they even enjoy it.
If others want to slack off, they will ostracize him, isolate him, and even think that he is not worthy of working with them.
Therefore, no one needed to supervise the construction site. Everyone worked with all their might, afraid that Li Chang'an wouldn't be able to make a fortune.
They were also afraid that Li Chang'an wasn't exploiting them ruthlessly enough.
Everyone felt that the job was too easy and that they felt guilty taking the money.
They were willing to do anything, even die, if Li Chang'an wanted to give them extra tasks.
Some even worried that this disciple of the immortal would become poor because of the high wages he was paid.
He specifically applied for a 50% pay cut, and then Li Chang'an beat him up, feeling that they looked down on him.
Sure enough, they felt much better after being beaten up.
Otherwise, they would always feel strange. They could get so much money without being beaten or scolded, which made them feel uncomfortable.
After walking through the shopping street, we are about to enter the construction site.
Li Chang'an told the two of them to wait a moment, then took a mask and put it on his head.
He Qiang was somewhat confused and asked.
"Your Highness, what's wrong?"
"Well, it's a long story. We can go in now."
Li Chang'an waved his hand and put on the hood.
This is a mask of loneliness. When you wear it, you can reduce your presence and others will ignore you.
The three of them then walked into Tai'an City.
Around noon, smoke rose from the chimneys of many households, and people who had been working gradually returned home in groups for lunch.
There are workers and farmers.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, their faces filled with hope and happiness for life.
After six months of recuperation, these disaster victims have become much stronger.
No longer skin and bones, dressed in rags.
Everyone was dressed in cloth clothes, wearing work shoes, riding bicycles, and carrying hoes and shovels.
Several farmers even returned in oxcarts, drawing envious glances from many others.
The emergence of the Ox and Horse Happiness House allows the Ming Dynasty to have an extra ox and a horse every minute.
Moreover, these cattle and horses that appeared out of nowhere were adult cattle and horses.
This animal was not only as strong as a bull or horse, but it was also intelligent and, apart from not being able to speak, was no different from a normal person.
A cow and a horse appear every minute.
There are 1,444 cattle and horses every day.
In the past six months, a total of more than 260,000 head of cattle and horses have been produced, which has reduced the price of draft cattle from a high level to ten strings of cash.
Those horses enabled Tai'an City to form several cavalry units.
Despite the existence of the Type 28 rifle, Li Chang'an still wanted to form a cavalry force.
After all, once you're on the battlefield, facing off against another army, you can't exactly ride a bicycle.
Their commander is our brothers, charge!
Li Chang'an, on the other hand, said, "Brothers, stand up and kick!"
Recalling this scene, Li Chang'an decided to form a cavalry force.
Let the iron horses go down and sell them, making people's lives more convenient.
The advent of the bicycle has indeed changed many things.
The greatest wish of the people of Tai'an City now is for an ox and an iron horse.
After all, this thing is just too affordable.
A horse costs five taels of silver, is very fast to ride in the city, and doesn't require much feeding.
A trip around the city costs only two steamed buns.
Moreover, with the addition of a wooden cart to the back of the old-fashioned bicycle, it was transformed into a tool for hauling goods.
Many people ride old-fashioned bicycles every day, buying things from Pinduoduo's general stores and transporting them to the countryside to sell.
Then they buy some things from the countryside and sell them in the city.
They made a fortune from this back and forth.
Li Chang'an not only failed to stop this behavior, but even launched a franchise model.
You can apply to open a general store in a certain location, and Tai'an City will deliver goods to you daily at a fixed time.
The price is the same as what Pinduoduo's general store sells, but they only charge you half the price.
The rest you sell is the money you make.
Rice for ten coins a pound and coarse grains for five coins a pound will be delivered to your shop every day.
You can sell it at a fixed price: 20 coins per pound for rice and 10 coins per pound for coarse grains.
After this model was introduced, countless people saw business opportunities.
In just six months, the Pinduoduo Grocery Store brand was extended to the Jiangnan region.
Li Chang'an also formed a bicycle delivery team, named Ao Debiao.
Although Zhang San, who was in charge of the team, didn't understand what this meant.
However, he wouldn't object to the name the prince had chosen.
Looking at these people, Zhang Jiadi couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.
He had been causing trouble in Sichuan for half a year and had killed so many people.
As a result, the high-yield grains were barely promoted, and the people were still struggling to make ends meet.
Meanwhile, his brother had been causing trouble in the capital for half a year, but he hadn't killed many people. Instead, he had enabled the people of the capital to live a life of plenty and prosperity.
