When these young people came, they had already agreed to visit Shi Diwen together after arriving in Hangzhou, so naturally they had to find out the location first.The place where they are now is in the east of Hangzhou City, but Shi Diwen's manor is in the west of Hangzhou City, with a distance of more than ten miles between them, and they have to cross Hangzhou City to get to that place.Instead, go directly to the yamen in the city, which seems to be a little closer.
"Then why don't we go directly to the city tomorrow, visit Mr. Shi first, and then go to our respective errands?" After Tao Hongfang asked about the situation, he asked the other three for their opinions.
Naturally, Ning Zijing had no objections. His mission in Hangzhou was to contact Qiong Lianfa's resident agency, and now he just had to wait patiently in Hangzhou for Li Fa to come back.Before that, he had plenty of time to deal with personal affairs.
"If you go to the yamen to ask for an interview, then you can only go in the name of official business." Bai Letong reminded: "Then you have to wait in line slowly to be summoned."
In a crowded place like the yamen, it is naturally inconvenient for them to directly reveal their special identities, otherwise rumors spread when they first arrived in Hangzhou, which would not be conducive to their carrying out their respective tasks here.
Ha Jianyi said: "It's okay, just follow the normal procedures to see Mr. Shi. Anyway, our errands are not urgent tasks. When the time comes, we will pay for the concierge. If it's not possible, just wait a little longer."
After a few people weighed the pros and cons, they still felt that it would be better to pay a low-key visit to Shi Diwen at the Yamen in the city. If the road doesn't work then, then consider visiting his private estate.
The few people had been exhausted for more than half a month, and now they finally arrived at their destination. They were not in the mood to go out and have fun at this time, and they had to go to work tomorrow, so they went back to their rooms to wash and rest after dinner.
After Ning Zijing returned to his room, he asked his followers to quietly summon Yang Ji again, and told him not to talk about the identities of his party and the purpose of coming to Hangzhou, so as not to affect their things to do in Hangzhou.Naturally, Yang Ji didn't dare to neglect, and responded one by one.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, everyone took the carriage prepared by Yang Ji to Hangzhou City.
It was already late yesterday when they came here, and they didn't see the situation clearly in the carriage. They left early this morning, so they had a chance to check the surrounding environment.The land surrounded by Qiong Lianfa is located on the west bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. According to the functions introduced by Yang Ji, it is divided into four blocks. The streets are full of large and small commercial shops, which shows the overall planning of Qiong Lianfa. The utilization rate of land is extremely high.
However, the vast majority of these pavements have not yet been fully built, and various building materials piled up on the roadside can be seen everywhere.After the completion of these pavements, not all of them will hang the signboard of Qiong Lianfa, but will be operated by each shareholder of Qiong Lianfa.
The advantage of this development method is that the initial land enclosure and construction costs will be lower than that of each company separately, and because the industries and scopes of each company are different, the businesses that can be covered in this area will also be different. It is more comprehensive, covering almost every link in the business industry chain.When a customer enters this block, there is no need to travel here and there. Whether it is purchasing or selling, you can find a suitable target here.
And this kind of development model is also unique to Haihan. The commercial consortium of Qiong Lianfa has broken the old business form and is far ahead of the contemporary practitioners. In the face of such a large commercial giant, the local Even if a business has a certain foundation, it is difficult to withstand the competition brought about by these emerging business methods.
However, such a commercial block is not too new for a few young people from Sanya. Similar commercial development models are common in southern port cities, but the scale of construction in Hangzhou is rare.Moreover, there are still several large commercial organizations like Qiong Lianfa in Haihan, and they will not be left behind. They will definitely build similar commercial districts in Hangzhou. By then, the scale of local business will definitely increase due to the influx of foreign capital. be promoted rapidly.
After leaving the block that is still under construction, you will see a large field.It is still six or seven miles away from Hangzhou City, so the surrounding area is still dominated by agricultural land. As far as the eye can see, there are almost stretches of mulberry forest and wheat ridges.Qiong Lianfa chose to enclose land here, firstly because it is close to the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and Qiantang River, and secondly because there are not many residents and buildings here, and the cost of buying land is relatively lower than that near the city.
Of course, as soon as the news of moving the capital came out, the land prices in the surrounding areas of Hangzhou skyrocketed accordingly, and Qiong Lianfa had official news channels, and the matter of enclosing the land just before the decision to move the capital came out was enough to save money. A large fee was placed.At this time, if you want to buy land in the same area, the price will have to double compared with before.
Thanks to the existence of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, the land transportation conditions leading to Hangzhou City are not bad, and the horse-drawn carriage that several people were riding in quickly entered the official road.According to Yang Ji's instructions, the nearest entrance to the city is the Qingchun Gate on the east side of Hangzhou City, which can be reached by walking along this official road.
Qingchun Gate was first built in the Southern Song Dynasty, formerly known as Dongqing Gate, and was destroyed when the Yuan army attacked Hangzhou at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty.Later, it was rebuilt at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and renamed Taiping Gate, and it was not renamed Qingchun Gate until the Ming Dynasty.Among the ten city gates in Hangzhou City, Qingchun Gate is the main passage for entering and leaving the city. Qingchun Street inside the gate has been one of the bustling streets in Hangzhou City for generations.
However, the carriage that Tao Hongfang and others took had to stop near the Qingchun Gate. Before entering the city here, they had to line up to pass the Tiesha River, which is the moat outside Hangzhou.The river was excavated in the Tang Dynasty, and it was also used to vent the tide of the Qiantang River in ancient times. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Hangzhou official Wang Dashou led a crowd to excavate and dredge the moat, which had been silted up, to resume its function.
Outside the Qingchun Gate, there is a stone bridge across the Tiesha River, which is more than four feet wide, and serves as a passage for the people to enter and exit the city every day.However, due to the limited width of the bridge deck, during the peak hours after the opening of the city gate in the morning, vehicles and horses entering and leaving the city had to line up, and Tao Hongfang and others could only wait patiently.
Tao Hongfang and Ha Jianyi were in the same car, and after they lifted the curtain to watch for a while, Tao Hong conveniently said: "It seems that the city gates of Hangzhou City are still closed at night, otherwise, we won't be at the gate of the city early in the morning." Congestion."
Ha Jianyi said: "After all, Hangzhou has only been captured not long ago. There must be security considerations in closing the city gates."
As long as they can remember, the few cities on Hainan Island have not made arrangements to close the city gates. Danzhou even simply demolished the original city gates and widened the roads to facilitate the entry and exit of vehicles and horses.As for the cities developed and constructed by Haihan itself, such as Hong Kong, Kaohsiung, Zhoushan, etc., there are no fortifications such as city walls and gates at all.
