The situation in the north is still unclear, and the 12-year crossing meeting of Chongzhen in Yulin Bay was held on the eighth day of the first month according to the custom.

There were not many new topics in this time-traveling conference, and the time-travelers were all concerned about the war in Lushun and Vietnam. The three-year plan proposed by Zhang Guodong to eliminate the rogue bandits, unify Vietnam, and march into Japan was adopted in principle. In addition to this, the crossing congress made only one resolution to organize a fleet to the Philippines as soon as possible.

A few days after the end of the crossing conference, Yulin Bay received flying pigeon reports from all over the country one after another. Li Fuqiang and Lin Zhaolong have already laid down Phnom Penh, and there is no movement on the North Vietnamese side for the time being. In his letter, Li Fuqiang gave a detailed account of the implementation of land reform and conscription in Phnom Penh, which was very effective, and about 3,000 troops had been conscripted in Cambodia.

However, the situation in the north is a fog, and Xu Tianbin has already taken people to Lushun to assist Zhang Shujie in resisting Huang Taiji's attack stubbornly. Zhang Hai also sent back the news from Dalinghe that Wu Sangui's several attacks on Dalingcheng had no effect, and Haoge held Dalingcheng relatively easily. However, Zhang Hai also said in the letter that Wu Sangui did not do his best, he was just perfunctory in Yulin Bay for the price reduction of goods.

The most incomprehensible are Jiang Beiming and Han Wantao. Judging from the biography of the flying pigeons, the combined fleet has reached the vicinity of Nagasaki, Han Wantao has also retreated to Seoul, and Dolgon has not come out to pursue. I don't know what the situation is on either side.

Zheng Jiang was confused: "Chairman Zhang, President Wang, the north is now a pot of porridge, which is completely different from our original intention." I don't have any good ideas, what do you two think. ”

"yes." Wang Hua said, "These news were all ten days ago, and now it would be nice to have a radio station." ”

Zhang Guodong patted Wang Hua with a smile: "Lao Wang, wouldn't it be better if everyone had a mobile phone." ”

Wang Hua said with a smile: "Chairman Zhang, you know I'm joking, let's discuss the next step." ”

In fact, there is nothing to discuss, although the Vietnamese side is quite smooth, but the north is a mess, especially now that I don't know where Han Wantao and Jiang Beiming are, even if I want to send them a letter, I can't send it.

The three of them discussed it, but could only come up with a simple resolution. Li Fuqiang was instructed to stabilize South Vietnam and Phnom Penh as soon as possible and to intensify conscription. If necessary, they could negotiate with the British, cede some of Vietnam's interests, and let the British send troops to assist in garrisoning Vietnam. It would be better for Lin Zhaolong to collect some ships in Vietnam and return with a few thousand Yulin troops, and reinforcements may be needed to the north, and Yulin Bay is now almost without a single soldier.

There should be no problem on the Daling River, the family just let Zhang Hai pay attention to his own safety. The biggest problem is Lushun, Zhang Guodong and others are worried about whether the 5,000-and-seven-piece Yulin Army, plus the Shenji Battalion and the Quick Gun Team, can resist the attack of 50,000 Huang Taiji. The 10,000 people in Tianjin Wei have not yet arrived in Lushun, and the 20,000 people in Shandong are simply unreliable. In the end, the three of them collectively wrote a letter to Zhou Lei and Wang Qianxiang, and if possible, brought their headquarters to reinforce Lushun. This is also a way out of the question, Xuanfu and Datong are too far away from Lushun, even if they can go to reinforcements, who knows that they can get to Lushun in the Year of the Monkey, and they don't have a ship yet.

Xia Yang's chairman in the past half a year has done it easily and easily, and it is not easy to say that it is not easy. There is nothing big going on in Yulin Bay, what should happen, but Xia Yang has been worried about the war in the north. Although this is no longer under his control, the Crossing Group is still a whole after all.

Chen Yan came to Xia Yang's office and sat opposite Xia Yang and slowly sipped tea.

"Chen Yan, what is coming to me again, how much money have you earned in the past few months."

Xia Yang knew that Chen Yan and his father-in-law Huang Sanxiang's shopping mall made a lot of money during the Qiong Fair a year ago. All the merchants who came to the fair, including Westerners, were very interested in this shopping mall, which copied the model of later generations. The five-acre mall not only has a variety of products, but also is divided into zones, and each type of product has its own fixed area. In addition, there are snacks, restaurants, and a stage and juggling place in the northwest corner of the mall. There is another inn built outside the mall, as long as you have enough silver, you can eat, drink and sleep here all-inclusive.

"No, no, didn't make much." Chen Yan put down the teacup with a haha, "Chairman Xia, I came to you for something I want to discuss with you." ”

"What's the matter with you?" Xia Yang smiled, "Did you get someone pregnant again?" ”

"Lao Xia, can you think of me well, I'm really in trouble."

At present, Luan Xu and Di Chong's building houses for the homeless people has slowly entered the right track, and Luan Xu finally came up with a solution. The displaced people who came to build a house could get a house, which did not attract the homeless, but Luan Xu decided that as long as the person who got the house could borrow from the bank to buy his own house, the price was very low, and the down payment was zero, because these homeless people had no money in their hands. Of course, this did not completely arouse the enthusiasm of these homeless people to build houses, and the most important thing is that Luan Xu allowed these homeless people to sell these houses at any time after taking out loans to buy houses. You must know that the money paid by the displaced people to buy a house is less than one-third of the market price, and they don't have to spend a penny of silver, they all use bank money. As long as they participate in the construction of houses, they can earn two or three hundred taels of silver as soon as the houses are built, and the enthusiasm of these displaced people has finally been aroused, and now there are 20,000 or 30,000 people involved in building houses, and the progress of the slum renovation project is getting faster and faster.

Cheng Yiyi once objected to this method, saying that putting all the purchase money on the bank would cause a lack of cash flow for the bank. But Luan Xu believes that this will be beneficial to Yulin Bay, and the listing of a large number of cheap renovated houses will definitely have an impact on the market. Yulin Bay currently has a total population of 200,000, and nearly 10,000 houses are all put on the market at once, which must greatly reduce housing prices, and the current high housing prices in Yulin Bay have led to a further widening of the gap between the rich and the poor. The committee also approved Luan Xu's approach, and Cheng Yiyi could only agree in the end.

Chen Yan is also optimistic about this new residential area. At present, tens of thousands of people are building houses, and in the future, after this house is built, it will form a new urban area of 50,000 or 60,000 people. Whether it can lower housing prices Chen Yan doesn't care, he thinks that these 50,000 or 60,000 people are a good consumer market. Get a piece of land here first, and in the future, once the new city matures, you will definitely make money by building a suitable shopping mall.

After listening to Chen Yan's story, Xia Yang looked at him stunned: "Chen Yan, you can do it, when will you be so good at doing business, you know how to store land resources in advance." ”

Chen Yan said with a smile: "Those who are close to Zhu are red, they all learned from my father-in-law." ”

Xia Yang said: "But it's useless for you to look for me about this, our current land transactions are all legislative, can't you just go to Luan Xu to apply?" ”

"I've been to Luan Xu, and he's fine."

"It's okay on his side, it's okay." Xia Yang asked, "What do you mean by coming to me?" ”

"Chairman Xia." Chen Yan suddenly became a little serious, "The last time I bought that piece of land to build a supermarket, I did make some money during the Qiong Fair, but there were also a lot of various voices. For this reason, the Independent Commission Against Corruption has also inquired that although the power of the ICAC is not as good as before, the impact is always not good. I also heard Luan Xu say that many of us also want to take out a loan to buy a house and land, didn't we have a rule before, can we use 20% of the equity as collateral? Last year, your committee made a new regulation that the money pledged by equity cannot be used to invest in real estate, but only in industry and commerce. Of course, I still have some money on hand and can buy land without equity mortgage, but Luan Xu and I are worried about whether there will be any problems in buying another piece of land, so I want to ask you what you mean first. ”

Xia Yang understood that it had been ten years since he had traveled, and the phenomenon of the gap between the rich and the poor was not only becoming more and more serious among the Ming Dynasty people in Yulin Bay, but also gradually aggravating among the traversers. Although the Second Amendment to the Pearl Convention provides that "the Crossing Group shall be economically subject to a shareholding system, with all assets divided into 31,900 shares, which shall be distributed equally among each Traverser, with 100 shares per person." "However, no one knows how many assets the crossing group has so far, which ones belong to the crossing group, and whether those public lands belong to the crossing group or not, and even he, the chairman of the committee, does not know.

The Second Amendment also stipulates that the annual dividend plan is determined by the General Assembly, but there is not much dividend every year, because most of the money is used for construction and military expansion. In recent years, a large number of government-owned enterprises have been sold to individuals, and the transfer fee should be counted as the assets of the crossing group, but the money has not been distributed to the individual at all, and all of it has been used for new investment.

People like Di Chong, Dong Fei, and Chen Yan are basically rich at present, and Xia Yang, Liu Guannan, and those in the military are not short of money because they have a lot of salaries. But there are some people who have no income other than basic living expenses every month, and although these people are not very numerous, they are also a problem.

The intensification of the gap between the rich and the poor has also caused some travelers to put forward some opinions on the current system, but they have never been resolved, so Chen Yan's concern is understandable, but it is very difficult to solve.

Xia Yang felt that this question was a headache: "Chen Yan, I can only answer you like this now, what should you do, as long as you don't violate our rules, let others say whatever they like." The mouth grows on other people's bodies, you can't help but let people talk. ”

"Then I know, thank you, Lao Xia." Chen Yan got an answer, took his leave, and left.
