    The news came quickly.

    Although the process of inquiring was very difficult.

    A group of merchants have quietly come to Dingxing County, for no other reason than to purchase everything they can.

    The capital and Xishan suddenly had hundreds of thousands more people.

    And these hundreds of thousands of people are all paid.

    The bulk commodities in the capital have already begun to inflate, and the prices of grain and many commodities have begun to rise slightly. Even so, this influx of countless people, coupled with the large amount of silver appearing on the market, the issuance of silver notes, and the  With the increase in the consumption power of salaried people, prices have been rising continuously.

    ¡°But this kind of price increase cannot be transmitted to small and remote counties like Dingxing County in time.

    It¡¯s just that now someone seems to have spotted the business opportunity.

    In the capital, the same pound of grain costs five cents. After threshing, it costs between eight and ten cents. Even this price is nothing to the people in the capital, because even a laborer  , you can earn one or two taels of silver a month, and the average salary is around one thousand and a half cents. There are many people, even women, who can work, not to mention that ordinary workers also have lunch included.

    If you are poorer, you can use cheaper sweet potatoes and potatoes as a substitute.

    But these hundreds of thousands of people are not only laborers, but also coupled with craftsmen, their consumption power is even more astonishing.

    Dingxing County is isolated from transportation. Although there are official roads, the essence of the official roads is only for transmitting documents. They are just built of rammed earth. They are usually fine. From Dingxing County to Xincheng, it takes dozens of miles.  Using a horse-drawn carriage, it would take three days and three nights to go back and forth. If it was earlier, if people carried burdens to transport, it would take five days and five nights. A person can carry seventy or eighty kilograms of grain, which is considered good, but you still have to pay  This person needs to pay for the job, and he also needs to eat and drink along the way. All in all, not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but all the money is spent on transportation.

    Horse carriages are now becoming popular in the new city, and the transportation capacity of the carriages is amazing.  But this carriage is expensive. If it is a muddy road like the official road in the past, it will be harmful to the carriage. The depreciation cost of this carriage is staggering, and because the road is muddy and difficult to travel, the carriage cannot go fast. A round trip will cost a lot of money.  There are also a lot of people and manpower.

    Dingxing County has always been so unknown.

    Even though he is very close to the capital, he is still in a remote area due to the traffic environment in the past.

    But now

    All of a sudden

    Things have changed.

    The road has been repaired. It is the best asphalt road with six lanes side by side. It is not afraid of any rain or snow weather, and there is no mud. A loaded carriage can go back and forth in almost a day.

    A one-day round trip, what does this mean? It means that we negotiated a deal in Dingxing County early in the morning and immediately ordered people to load the truck. If we go faster, we can arrive at the warehouse in Xincheng at noon. Even if we go slower, we can arrive before dark that day.  Also accessible.

    In the capital, even if you are going from the outer city to the inner city, if you encounter congestion sometimes, it will take this time.

    Old Mrs. Fang was stunned.

    This road actually has such a function?

    He looked at Zhou Wu. Zhou Wu was his confidant. People had been working in the Fang family for generations, and he could not be trusted more than anything else.

    "Is the news reliable?"

    "Reliable!" Zhou Wu said decisively: "However, the news has not spread yet, not just our Fang family I heard that just a few hours ago, someone went to the Yang family and asked for Mr. Yang  ¡­¡±

    Old Mrs. Fang squinted his eyes: "What?"

    "The Yang family has a large piece of land, which is close to the road. Someone wants to buy his land. The price istwo hundred taels per acre. We just signed a contract and sold more than 100 acres."

    Old Mrs. Fang was startled.

    Usually in Dingxing County, an acre of land is only twenty taels of silver, and the price increases more than ten times as soon as it changes hands.

    "He sold it?"

    "Sold!" Zhou Wudao said: "The Yang family is so happy that they have more than 20,000 taels of silver. They can't earn it in a few lifetimes by digging in the fields. This news is kept secret. If it weren't for the  To make a contract, you have to ask Liu Shuli from the county to act as a guarantee. I'm afraid no one will know As for whether there are any merchants negotiating with people about buying land and collecting grain, I don't know. Anyway, what the villain knows  Yes, now in Dingxing County, even for land that is not connected to roads, the price has increased. The price of food has increased a lot compared to the secret price I also heard that there are many people who want to live in Dingxing County.  Build a workshop"

    Zhou Wudao: "Old man, do you still remember? At that time, Ouyang CountyHe thought of something again and turned over: "I'm a little hungry. I'll lie down later. Come and kill a chicken!"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    There is already an undercurrent surging in Dingxing County.

    Almost everyone was tacitly aware of the situation, and the merchants who had seized the business opportunity began to haunt this place, inquiring about every piece of information.  And the gentry who began to notice something also smelled something, and they kept silent. In the darkness, countless deals were quietly concluded. Some people sang about the empty city strategy, some held the Hongmen Banquet, and naturally some people set up serial schemes.

    After the road construction was completed, the strong men who earned thirty cents a day were full of regrets. The days of earning money to support their families were gone!

    But¡­¡­

    People gradually realized that not only were things going onbut alsowages were quietly risingdaily payout!

    Chapter 1 has been delivered, and the monthly ticket is doubled. I am in tears, asking for a monthly ticket.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
