This piece of news was not deliberately blocked, nor was it publicized, but it could not withstand the prying eyes of interested people, and spread throughout Xianyang City almost an hour later.
The major merchants who were still waiting and watching suddenly couldn't sit still. Ba Shi was the most powerful merchant in the Qin Dynasty, and the power of example was extremely powerful.
Soon after, within half an hour, people came to the door one after another. The results were gratifying, and the initial intention was achieved. The details will depend on the investment meeting at that time.
After all, families have different financial resources, so whether they can afford it is also a question. How many projects can be consumed by a certain family. On this point, Ying Gao extremely sticks to his principles.
There was no benefit given to these people just because they took the initiative. After all, Ying Gao was opening a gold-swallowing beast, and he had to continuously inject funds.
Ying Gao understood better than anyone else that it would be easy to start construction of Daqin Central University, but what would be difficult was the subsequent large amount of financial support.
Otherwise, it would be nothing more than giving up halfway.
Now that the imperial court is bent on annexing the six countries, it is impossible to give him much support.
In the future, money will be consumed even faster.
Ying Gao knows that in the future, the speed at which any R&D department can swallow up money will catch people off guard and make countless people feel heartbroken.
At this time, when scientific research and development is still in the desert, the money needed will inevitably be more powerful. The most important thing is that once new and fresh gadgets are released, the speed of making money will not be slow.
Input and output can be directly proportional.
However, this requires massive capital investment in the early stage. In desperation, Ying Gao had to promote the discovery of Xicheng and take the opportunity to harvest.
…
"Sir, Tie Ying and the general have completed the signing of the contract. At this time, the large area of Xicheng belongs to us!"
Wang Hu was a little elated. As a native of Qin, his desire for land is self-evident.
Although Xicheng is the most barren place in Xianyang City, it is also land. Apart from titles, land is the most valuable in the Qin Dynasty.
"What are you thinking about? That place belongs to my father!"
Rolling his eyes at Wang Hu, Ying Gao was silent for a while and said: "Prepare the car, let's go to Shang Gongfang!"
"promise."
…
"rumble……"
The car rumbled, and Ying Gao felt a little helpless. At this moment, he had an urge to live directly in Shang Gongfang. This way, it would not be too troublesome to go back and forth.
“I’ve seen you lose your grudge, you!”
Although the edict has been issued and Ying Gao is now in charge of Shang Gongfang, the name Gong Shuqiu has not changed, because he knows in his heart that Ying Gao has become powerful.
And after this incident, Shang Gongfang was completely bound to Ying Gao, and was labeled as a high-ranking master.
"Husband loses, no need to be polite!"
After helping Gong Shuqiu up, Ying Gao glanced at the empty Shang Gongfang and said: "Husband Shu, please find a dormitory. From now on, I will live here forever."
"promise."
…
"My husband loses. The matter has been resolved, Master Ben. Has Shang Gongfang completed the mapping of the wasteland?" As he said that, Ying Gao's eyes moved: "Wang Hu, get the map of Xianyang."
"promise."
…
Under the stone pavilion, the sun is shining brightly.
A carefully drawn map of Xianyang appeared on the long desk. Ying Gao pointed at the map and said: "Husband, I have reached a purchase contract with the Xianyang Lingguan Office. This place, here, will all belong to us!"
"This is the site of Daqin Central University, and this is a market just like Shang Shangfang, and this is a residential area."
"This time, Shanggongfang's task is to design the design drawings of Daqin Central University and the unified planning of the surrounding areas!"
"I need the surrounding courtyards and markets to support Daqin Central University. This is a huge expense that the Peacock Chamber of Commerce alone cannot support."
"Do you have an opinion or suggestion on this matter?"
Hearing this, Gong Shuqiu's eyes flickered. He was still shocked by Ying Gao's generosity. Every great craftsman is a good draftsman.
He naturally knew what Ying Gao meant: "Young master plans to build a new market in the surrounding area like Shang Shang Fang, and then build some houses, raise the price with Daqin Central University, earn income at a low price, and then sell it at a high price?
"
"The merchants of Great Qin have their pockets full of money. It would be a waste to keep it with them. It would be better to use it directly to build Great Qin!"
Ying Gao glanced at Gong Shuqiu, and he knew in his heart that this old boy was also a money-hungry guy, and he didn't have much of a bottom line at all.
He will definitely not object!
"Young Master, it's just that the initial investment is huge. Will there be someone by then?" A look of solemnity flashed deep in Gong Shuqiu's eyes. He knew in his heart that Ying Gao's idea was good, but it would be difficult to complete it.
"Someone will want it, and they are still rushing to get it!"
Ying Gao's finger fell on the wasteland and he turned towards Gongshu: "Husband, if you are an official of the Qin Dynasty in the future, there is a high probability that they will come out of here. Do you think Xicheng will still be desolate?"
"Especially those merchants and nobles in the court, will they give up such an opportunity?"
A series of rhetorical questions made Gong Shuqiu stunned for a moment, and then he felt overjoyed. If things went as Ying Gao said, they wouldn't even need to raise the price, and they could get a good price.
"What the Young Master said is absolutely true. In this way, it is feasible. However, what are the Young Master's orders regarding Daqin Central University?"
"First, Daqin Central University is a comprehensive university and will be divided into several parts, so what I want to do is to build an artificial lake in the center."
"Then the artificial lake will be the center and eight school buildings will be built around it. Also, an artificial island will be left in the artificial lake and a library will be built for learning and reading."
…
After hearing what Ying Gao said, Gong Shuqiu was also stunned. According to what Ying Gao said, the amount of work of this scale is no less than building a Xianyang Palace.
This requires a lot of money!
"Sir, if you follow your ideas, Daqin Central University will definitely occupy one-third of the West City, and it will need continuous financial support."
Gong Shuqiu's eyes were blazing, and there was a touch of excitement deep in his eyes. Building a large-scale project was a huge honor for a craftsman.
At this thought, Gongshu Chou said to Ying Gao: "I will do the surveying myself, and leave the other surrounding buildings to others from Shang Gongfang."
"Hahaha……"
Ying Gao laughed loudly and was also shocked. This era is different from the later eras. The craftsmen of this era have the spirit of craftsmanship.
Just like when Zheng Guo built the Zheng Guo Canal, he could persevere even if it took ten years. This kind of perseverance without hesitation is sometimes even more touching.
