I see. Chen Wenjun was not surprised at all, as the city lord, he naturally knew about this situation. However, other people don't understand, Tian Jingye and Chen Wenqi are thoughtful. Duan Huaiyu and Bai Junyi chatted with this girl again, this girl recommended some other things, and they bought a lot more, and this girl was even happier.

After doing this for a while, the group went out for a stroll again, and only went back after a long night.

Back at the City Lord's Mansion, Tian Jingye couldn't sleep, put on his clothes, and went to Chen Wenqi's residence. ”

Chen Wenqi said: "I'm thinking about what I've seen in the past few days, where I can sleep. ”

Saying that, let Tian Jingye come into the house, and a maid had already come over to make a cup of tea. Chen Wenqi let the maid go down, and Hetian Jingye said while sipping tea: "Come to think of it, you can't sleep because of the question about the identity of the residents you heard in the night market, right?" ”

Tian Jingye smiled and said, "Brother Qi is right when he guesses." You say, this resident identity is really a good idea. What is most lacking in an emerging city like ours? What is most lacking is people. Before I came to Xinguang City, I didn't expect that this place would develop so fast, later than Shanghai City, but it is already about the same as Shanghai City. At the very least, the total population is about the same. The trade is also very prosperous, before, I wondered, how did it develop so fast? Now, I know that this identity issue is only the key. ”

Chen Wenqi said: "I think so too. You see, a person, as long as he has money, can buy a house and a land outside the city. There is a manor, a land, a house, and it is better to have a shop, so that you can obtain the status of a resident of Shin Kong City. A person has the status of a resident, a family. Daughter. The son and wife have all become residents of Shin Kong City. In this way, the daughter and the son will be married. In the future, sons-in-law and daughters-in-law can also become residents of Shin Kong City. How many people can this one person bring? Let's count it as one person brings five people. As long as there are 50,000 people, there will be 250,000 to 300,000 people in a year or two. Isn't this a big city? In this way, the poll tax is much more charged. ”

Tian Jingye hurriedly answered: "What's more than a poll tax? These people want to become residents of Shin Kong City. But you have to buy a house, buy a shop. Isn't this money for Brother Jun? No wonder Brother Jun makes so much money, no wonder Xinguang City can get so much share to the imperial court every year. The prices of houses and shops in Xinguang City are about to catch up with the tight demand in Shanghai. And that's not to mention that a new city was built. Especially in such overseas cities, isn't it the most worrying that there is no one to open up the wasteland and no one to cultivate? If these people want to become residents of Shin Kong City. Or buy the manor that was reclaimed by the city lord's mansion before, so that Brother Jun made a lot of money. Or go to the borderless land outside the city to open up wasteland. In this way, it is natural that Brother Jun will have to pay farmland tax in the future. You said. Can the city be bad? It's no wonder that Xinguang City can send so much grain to the imperial court every year. ”

Chen Wenqi said: "Also, these people have become residents of Xinguang City, don't they want to live?" Don't eat? Naturally, you have to buy things and sell things, can the market not prosper? These people eat, live, and spend money, what to do, the rich are okay, just spend money here, what about the not rich? Isn't it to find a job to do, so that there can be a shortage of people in the business, workshop, port, and shop of Xinguang City? Naturally, more things can be produced, and if they are sold in the city, and then overseas, Dachu, and other cities on Yizhou Island, the tribe will have to pay taxes when they sell it? It's no wonder that Xinguang City is so thriving for Jundi. ”

Tian Jingye thought about it for a while, and said: "This identity system has brought too many benefits to Xinguang City. Can we learn too? I haven't seen Wen Hui in the past few days, should we discuss with Wen Hui tomorrow, first, we want to talk about which day to leave, what to prepare, and second, let's talk about this identity system and see what Wen Hui has to say. ”

Chen Wenqi clapped his hands and said, "It's exactly what I want." ”

The next day, the two of them went separately, one went to find Chen Wenjun, the other found Chen Wenqi, and Chen Wenhui came over.

When everyone arrived, Chen Wenhui looked at these cousins seriously and said: "You have been shopping very happily these days, I heard that your salutes have increased a lot, but I want to tell you cousins in advance, we have to purchase a lot of things on Yizhou Island and bring them to Luzon Island, including a large amount of grain, and there is no extra space on our ship for you." ”

As soon as he said this, everyone remembered that there were some practical things that they had purchased in Xinguang City before, and their women had come to relieve themselves in the past few days, and they all visited Xinguang City under the leadership of the housekeeper, and saw so many novel things, where can there be anything that is not bought, and everyone is not short of money, so how normal it is to salute more. Originally, I thought that there would be no problem, because there would definitely be a position, but I didn't think that Chen Wenhui would purchase grain to Luzon. Come to think of it, so many people have arrived on Luzon Island, the fields have not yet been cultivated, the crops have not been planted, where will the food come from, do you want these people to go hungry?

Tian Jingye was a little embarrassed, he had been playing for the past few days, and he, the future city lord, had not thought about the food of the people in his city at all in the past few days. All these things were left to the steward, and he didn't bother to ask. Now that I think about it, it's very wrong, no matter how capable the stewards are, without food, can they conjure up? Looking at Wen Hui, she planned early in the morning and purchased the food, and when she went, these people would eat.

Just thinking about it, Bai Junyi shouted: "God, I haven't thought about this problem, even if those people cultivate and plant crops now, they can't eat food now, aren't they all hungry for a while?" ”

Chen Wenhui sneered and said, "How is it possible? People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. Where can I miss a meal? These migratory people, when they were on the ship, were all prepared food, and the food should be okay. Arrived in Luzon. There, since the Holy Lord's decree moved down, I wrote to my eldest brother, asking him to help me buy food on Yizhou Island, and to take him to Luzon to hoard in the black family's stronghold. After so many months of hard work, a lot has been hoarded. Therefore, these people do not have to worry about their eating problems. But I will say to you that your people have also eaten of the grain which I have hoarded, and therefore I will have people settle accounts with your stewards, and when the time comes, you will give me money. It's effortless. As for the food this time, it was some fresh vegetables, as well as fruits, seeds, and some farming tools, which were to be brought over. Stuff a lot. ”

Now everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Wenhui said: "You called me over early in the morning, is there anything to discuss?" ”

Tian Jingye remembered the matter at this time, and hurriedly said, "Yes." First, we have been repairing in Shin Kong City for several days, when will we leave? Second, I want to talk to Sister Wen Hui and Brother Jun about the identity of this resident. ”

Chen Wenhui and Chen Wenjun glanced at each other, thinking in their hearts that they had finally achieved results.

Chen Wenhui said: "I still have two days to finish the business at hand, and you can stay in Xinguang City for two days." As for the question of identity. You're asking the right question. ”

Chen Wenjun said: "This matter of resident identity was brought up by Wen Hui. At the time, I didn't think it could be implemented, but I didn't expect that the effect would be even better than we imagined. ”

Tian Jingye was very strange, and looked at Chen Wenhui seriously and said, "Please sister teach us." ”

Chen Wenhui smiled and said, "Where can I talk about teaching?" But what you see, let's talk about it first. ”

Tian Jingye and Chen Wenqi hurriedly talked about yesterday's speculation.

Chen Wenjun said: "You are really elite talents, you can see so much in the past few days." Yes, you're right. Actually, the benefits are much more than that, you know? We have also implemented a policy to encourage childbirth in Shin Kong City. In this way, those newlyweds or young couples who have become residents of Xinguang City have great enthusiasm to have children, after all, they don't need to spend money on things such as children are born, go to school, see a doctor, etc., because children go to school and can save a lot of money at home, why don't they give birth? So, in a few years, you see, the population of Xinguang City will increase further, and I am preparing to discuss with Wen Hui, preparing that in a year or two, we will build another city in the middle of Yizhou Island to divide the population, or it will not be good if the city is too crowded. When you come from Shanghai, you probably think it's crowded, right? ”

Tian Jingye nodded.

Chen Wenjun said: "Originally, most of the people who came to Xinguang City to become the first batch of residents came from Dachu, and many of them were family concubines, and their families sent them here to start a new business. Now, they have all become rich men in Shin Kong City. After they got along in Xinguang City, they called friends and brought a lot of people. Later, seeing that the development of our Shinguang City is getting better and better, those who came to Shinguang City to work and earn money, as well as those fugitive nobles from the Wa Kingdom, Silla, and Goguryeo, all came here, such as the underground Saburo you met yesterday. For these people, our scrutiny is stricter. Not only must there be a house and a manor, but also an investigation must be carried out to prevent any spies from getting in. There are also some people who are the natives of Yizhou Island, who have wanted to enter the Black Iron City for hundreds of years and become the children of the Black Family, but the Black Family's selection of apprentices is very strict, and it is not so easy to enter. But Shin Kong City does not have these, as long as you have money, people, land, and houses, you can become a resident of Shin Kong City. In this way, it attracts a lot of indigenous tribes, like the girls you saw yesterday. (To be continued)
