Chapter 292: The Concept of the Mall
When Xu Ning came to the farmland and the breeding area, he paused for a moment. The seedlings in the farmland had grown a lot taller during this period, and there were already many hens sitting on nests in the breeding area.
Everything in the valley was thriving. Xu Ning felt very comfortable watching this scene and felt that he could finally live out his retirement years by lying down.
After hanging up the video call with Old Lady Xu, Xu Ning asked the servants in the mansion for a few sheets of rice paper the size of a screen.
"Second sister, what are you doing with such a large piece of paper?" Xu Feng and Xu Yuan helped spread the paper flat on the table. Xu Ning took out a charcoal pencil and began to draw the frame.
The location of the mall selected by Xu Ning and others before was in the South City. There was a big river outside the South City very close to the coast.
Xu Ning took out the domain map and lightly outlined several locations with charcoal, and then drew several different building frames based on the locations.
Xu Ning looked serious and Xu Feng did not interrupt him. He just watched Xu Ning paint quietly with Xu Yuan.
Before he knew it, the lights came on, and when Xu Ning came to his senses, he was attracted by the aroma of the food prepared by Xu Yuan.
"Ningning, take a break and eat first." Xu Yuan turned around and found Xu Ning staring at the food. A look of joy appeared on her face. Xu Ning put down the charcoal pencil. Xu Yuan pulled her to sit down, and Xu Feng immediately brought the food to Xu Ning's hands.
"Second sister, can I go to the amusement park you just drew?" Xu Feng looked at Xu Ning with anticipation.
"Of course, you can play however you want then." Xu Ning replied with a smile.
Xu Yuan was also very happy to hear this: "Then can I play on the slide?"
"Well, there are also carousels, bumper cars... There are so many fun things! You can play whichever you want!" Xu Ning planned to make everything that could be made in an amusement park. By then, this unique amusement park in Daqing Dynasty would surely attract the attention of those young men and women.
Beijing, Jiang Mansion Study.
In front of Jiang Yan was a map of the Daqing Dynasty. Compared with Xu Ning's map, Jiang Yan's map was more detailed. The map not only marked the names of various places, terrain, rivers, mountains and other basic information, but also recorded the population, economy, culture and other conditions of each place in detail. It can be said that this is the only very comprehensive and accurate map of the Daqing Dynasty.
Jiang Yan sat at the desk, studying the map carefully. After some research, Jiang Yan found that Nancheng was really a good city. It had a large port and vast land, and the waterways were well connected. It was the best choice for developing commerce.
His eyes wandered back and forth between the port of the south city and a vast basin, as if he was thinking about something. After a while, he picked up a pen and drew a few lines on the domain map, then put the pen down and fell into deep thought.
Jiang Yan, based on the letters Qi Canglan sent back and considering customer needs, finally set his sights on the river in the middle of the basin. This big river actually has branches even in the capital, and it only takes about ten days to get there from the south city.
However, this waterway has always been controlled by the Tank Gang. If you want to reach South City safely, you have to take a Tank Gang ship.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan picked up his pen and wrote two letters, one to Xu Ning and the other to the leader of the Tan Gang.
Jun County, the backyard of the county government office.
Qi Canglan slumped on the armchair like a boneless man, and sitting opposite him was Qi Songbo, who was wearing court robes.
"Old Bo, why is Xu Ning so difficult to deal with?" Qi Canglan said to Qi Songbo with a distressed look on his face.
Qi Songbo rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't call me Lao Bo. It makes me sound very old. Jiaojiao will dislike me when she hears it."
Qi Canglan rolled his eyes and said unhappily: "Come on, your Jiaojiao is even harder to deal with. No wonder they can become sisters!"
Qi Songbo didn't respond to Qi Canglan's words. Qi Canglan couldn't do anything to Xu Ning because of his problem, and Jiaojiao had not agreed to him because she was reserved.
When it comes to Pei Jiao, Qi Songbo can always make it very clear.
"Forget it, I just mentioned it to you." Qi Canglan took the initiative to change the subject, so that his ears would not be poisoned by Qi Songbo's praise of Pei Jiao's many good qualities.
"What do you think about the plan to build a shopping mall in Nancheng? Do you have any idea?" Qi Canglan asked.
Qi Songbo nodded and said, "I have an idea. I think the basin in the upper reaches of the Pei River is a good location. There is only a small town there and there is a piece of wasteland nearby. We can plan to build the house there."
"I think the basin is good too. The Pei River connects to the capital, and you can take a boat from the capital." Qi Canglan touched his chin, his eyes flashing with thought, as if he saw the future: "And the most developed river in Daqing is the Pei River, and its tributaries all converge at the South City Port."
He paused, then continued, "Then we can take advantage of this to develop water business and combine it with the new shopping mall in the basin to turn this place into a prosperous commercial center." The more he thought about it, the more excited he became and he couldn't help laughing.
A picture emerged in Qi Canglan's mind: ships shuttled across the Pei River, loaded with goods and heading to various places; the Nancheng Port was bustling with people coming and going, becoming an important hub for north-south exchanges. And all of this would be led and realized by him. Thinking of this, Qi Canglan excitedly stood up and found a pen and paper to write down this idea.
At the same time, in the study of the Jiang family in Beijing, Jiang Yan sat at the desk and folded the letter. He handed it to Jiang Yi beside him and said, "These two letters are very important. Send someone to deliver them immediately."
Jiang Yi nodded in agreement, and Jiang Yan then asked, "What is the current situation at the palace and the old tutor?"
"According to the informant, the emperor was planning to demote the old tutor, but the old tutor could no longer bear the condemnation from the people and fainted again this morning, so the emperor was unable to demote him."
Jiang Yan waved his hand, signaling Jiang Yi to go and do the work. Jiang Yi bowed respectfully and left, leaving Jiang Yan alone to think.
The capital is now in chaos and people are in panic. Fearing Jiang Yan's ruthless methods, Zuo Jing hides in the yard all day and dares not show up.
The connections of the Jiang family head were also cleverly taken away by Jiang Yan without him noticing. Those who were unwilling to obey were eliminated by Jiang Yan.
The head of the Jiang family originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to gain some benefits, but after learning that the old tutor was about to be punished, he gave up the idea and stopped acting rashly.
"Catch fish in troubled waters..." How many fish can you catch with two hands? Jiang Yan thought, since there is going to be chaos, then let's cast the biggest net and catch a lot!
"Someone, go and give some information to the royal family members, and tell them that the emperor intends to continue to protect the old tutor."
"Yes." A voice came from a corner of the study, and then a figure flashed out of the study.
Haicheng, Pei Mansion.
After dinner, Xu Ning continued to improve the drawings. Pei Yongjun hurried back from the barracks and found Xu Ning as soon as possible.
"Ning girl, there's something wrong with a martial artist."
