Chapter 246 Everything goes well
According to Jiang Yu's idea, the trade fair could have been held for another half month. However, some merchants were not in a hurry to leave. About a month had passed, and some merchants from other places were still staying.
This was better than she had imagined.
Halbus also submitted his compiled materials and plans, which were similar to Jiang Yu's ideas, but far more detailed than Jiang Yu's, both in terms of the formulation of some clauses and the analysis of details.
In particular, his years of travel experience, coupled with his keen sense and interest in business activities, are exactly what Jiang Yu lacks.
He even started with the local customs and traditions of the three great empires, and analyzed in detail the types of goods, the business habits of merchants from different regions and categories, etc., all of which he used to plan the layout and establishment of trade zones.
Indeed, everyone has their own expertise, and tasks should be left to those who are good at them.
Moreover, the data from the trade fairs had been collected quite a bit in recent days. With the sample data in hand, Jiang Yu had a better understanding of the situation.
The people she sent to report and make contact with the Empire have returned, saying that after hearing that she was willing to increase the amount of funds to be turned over to the national treasury, the Empire agreed to her business ventures and initiatives.
Everything is ready; now we can get started with great enthusiasm.
The first thing to do was to coordinate with Halbus's trade zone design sketches, send people to survey the site, and then build uniform buildings.
Jiang Yu referenced some commercial street models in modern society in this regard, amplifying and concretizing the style to clearly distinguish commercial spaces from other buildings, while still maintaining the style of Ocean Empire.
Moya and Fan Qingyin were a great help.
Moya provided some architectural styles for the Forbidden Sea Ruins, because Jiang Yu was very interested in lost maritime civilizations and they were also very compatible with the Ocean Empire.
Fan Qingyin possessed an extraordinary aesthetic sense, bordering on omnipotence. The architectural sketches he personally designed were simply breathtaking.
Jiang Yu sighed once again, thankfully he was rich enough that he could afford to do this project even with a year's tax exemption. Even if he didn't have the money, he could ask Moya to fish for treasure in the sea.
He immediately spent lavishly, not saving himself any money, choosing only the most expensive and best items.
In Chen Xin's words from the letter, it's like treating money like dirt; the business hasn't even yielded any returns yet, and they've already thrown mountains of gold and silver into it.
Jiang Yu felt a little guilty. But she quickly reassured herself and achieved logical consistency.
How can this be the same? I use my private assets for the initial investment, but the subsequent profits belong to all the people of the county. I also bear the losses alone, so everyone is guaranteed to make a profit.
Well, it's good to be rich. Being rich and selfless makes you the perfect leader in the eyes of the masses, hahaha.
But Jiang Yu is confident that there will be no losses. Once this model is on track and becomes a system, the profits will be continuous.
The entire Hollande County will benefit greatly. If this model can be rolled out nationwide later, it will completely transform the business landscape.
It remains to be seen how the Empire will ultimately respond to this matter. At this stage, its support is more akin to silent observation and lenient leniency.
But whether it succeeds or not, we should still give it a try.
Fan Qingyin also started going to the shrine to work regularly. In addition to the weekly prayer activities, he also had to preside over some theological activities in the county. His daily work also included listening to the wishes and troubles of the people.
Since Jiang Yu emphasized the importance of children's education, he personally revised the school's curriculum, evaluated the teachers, and scheduled regular lectures for all teachers every week.
He also carefully reviewed the teaching materials, removing some outdated content and updating some knowledge and skills.
The revision work was very complicated. He specially hired experts in each subject area and invited them to share their views in his own name, hoping that they could send in materials and participate in the revision.
He felt that it would be more meaningful if teachers could participate in the process of updating and compiling teaching materials together.
He had only just begun working on this matter and didn't want Jiang Yu to know until he achieved results. He estimated it would take quite a while before it became a complete system.
Therefore, compared to before when he focused more on territory affairs, Fan Qingyin now spends more time with his wife when he gets home, and his main work focus and location have also shifted to the shrine.
Moa's arrival played a significant role. He took over some of the territory's affairs and, relying on the good reputation he had built up in the early stages, accomplished most of them very well. Communication with the people was also not a problem at all.
In addition, he was very eager to learn, and he would never delay to ask questions he didn't understand, and would even visit Fan Qingyin's temple to ask for advice.
Therefore, with the concerted efforts and shared responsibilities of these outstanding individuals, everything in the county got back on track and progressed smoothly.
Perhaps as a return favor, Peter responded very quickly.
He not only personally came to the lord's manor to request that the one-year term be changed to a lifetime, but also enthusiastically affirmed the measures promoted by Jiang Yu at a banquet specially held by Jiang Yu for all merchants and travelers, and took the lead in signing the commercial settlement agreement.
Peter's aristocratic and royal merchant status gave him high credibility among merchants, making him almost universally respected. With his leadership and guarantee, many wealthy merchants signed agreements.
Peter also asked everyone to launch a campaign when they returned to their own business areas, so that more powerful businessmen could participate.
Everything went so smoothly that Jiang Yu was so happy that she could eat an extra bowl of rice at every meal.
Today, she spent the whole afternoon in the kitchen preparing a table full of dishes that Fan Qingyin and Moya loved, to reward her two capable generals.
Through her observations, she discovered that Moya didn't like sweets, preferred salty foods, and enjoyed strongly flavored foods marinated with spices.
Fan Qingyin prefers light-flavored food and sweeter tastes.
So she spent a long time making several different sauces, including a sweet shrimp paste and a spicy salty sauce.
Today, she made a meat burger, imitating a hamburger and incorporating local specialties. She thought Fan Qingyin and Moya would definitely like it. The marinated meat patties were coated with a suitable sauce and paired with their favorite vegetables and ingredients. It would definitely be so delicious that they would love it.
Jiang Yu also made barbecue skewers and hot pot, determined to carry forward the fine tradition of her ethnic group's love of eating.
So tonight, not only were the three bloated masters of the lord's manor lying comfortably on the bed, but even the servants were eating with greasy mouths and burping incessantly.
With a worried look on her face, A'duo complained to her husband that Lord Jiangyu really didn't have the demeanor of a lord, how could he lead the whole family of servants in eating and drinking so recklessly?
But her husband, who was a doctor, merely rubbed her bloated stomach, prepared a digestive medicine for her, and watched her drink it. That was all.
