Chapter Seventy-Nine: The New City (Part 3)
(Crying blood for collection, asking for sign-in)
A.D. 181, the third year of Han Guanghe, April
In a flash, nearly half a year has passed, in the context of the development of Erzhou, the new city of Jixian County has finally begun to take shape, this new city has been approved by the imperial court, Liu Tai has the right to name it from the new name, and abandon the title of Jixian County.
Jixian County is far from Cangming in the south, Taihang in the west, Jieshi in the east, the Great Wall in the north, the ancient times are the place where soldiers must fight, and in the Han Dynasty, Jixian County is the political and cultural center of Youzhou, under the governance of Liu Tai, the new city of Jixian County has accommodated nearly two million people, and it is the most densely populated city in the entire Han Dynasty, and because of Liu Tai's preferential treatment for businessmen, the number of merchants in Youhe and the two states has soared again and again, among which the Zhen family and Kyushu commercial house have become the leading boss of all merchants, followed by the Mi family.
Although the new city has not yet been fully built, most of the shops in the city are fully booked by merchants, and the Zhen family, Mi family and Kyushu commercial house each occupy the most densely populated piece of land in the new city because of Liu Tai's relationship.
Of course, the Zhen family and the Mi family also paid a lot of price, all the profits of the Zhen family in the new city, Liu Tai accounted for one percent, and the Mi family was not very close to Liu Tai's Kansai, Liu Tai took two percent, because of this Kansai, the Mi family often visited Liu Tai after that, and directly sent the Mi family's eldest lady Mi Wen to Liu Tai's house, just waiting for the marriage.
The new city is divided into seven urban districts, and the northern urban area is Liu Tai's Tianci Marquis Mansion, the Zujiao Cathedral, the Beijiang University, the campus of Beijiang University, the office space of each of the six departments, and the residence of the officials of the two states.
Among them, the Tianci Marquis Mansion covers a huge area, nearly one-third of the Beicheng District, and it is not worse than the Luoyang Palace, Liu Tai did not agree with this matter, after all, there are many people in the court who are not in line with Liu Tai, in case of suing Liu Tai, Liu Tai will inevitably not be able to eat and walk around.
But Xun Yu and others also have their own explanations, Liu Tai is the overlord of the two states, and the mansion naturally cannot be small, and this Hou Mansion can divide him into two pieces, who can say anything? After consultation, a stomping wall was erected in the middle of the Hou Mansion, the east is Liu Tai's Tianci Hou Mansion, and the west is the Northern Xinjiang Mansion, there are three arches between the stomping walls, which can be communicated, so that Liu Tai can only reluctantly agree when he sees that he will not fall into the mouth.
However, living in the Tianci Marquis Mansion like a palace, Liu Tai always felt uncomfortable, because Liu Tai didn't like eunuchs, and as a subordinate, he couldn't have eunuchs to serve, so the entire Tianci Marquis Mansion was full of sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls found by officials, and these girls were shaking everywhere in the Tianci Marquis Mansion every day, which made Liu Tai, who was mentally adult, unbearable, of course, this is a later story.
In the center is a huge altar with a statue of an ancestral deity enshrined in the ancestral religion standing on every two steps from top to bottom, but most of it is still unfinished.
The four urban districts of northeast, southeast, northwest and southwest are mainly gathering places for the people, among which the main gathering place of the local people in Jixian County is the northeast urban area, and the other three urban districts are inhabited by displaced people from all over the country who came to Liu Tai.
The northeast city is adjacent to the Tianci Hou Mansion, and there is only a low stomping wall between the two sides, because the reconstruction of Jixian County has been strongly supported by the local people of Jixian County, Liu Tai treats the local people of Jixian County very well, not only responsible for the construction of new houses for the local people of Jixian County, but also sends a large number of furniture and ordinary supplies in the name of Kyushu Commercial Bank for free, among which the local people of Jixian County get a lot of gold and silver subsidies.
The most central location of the southern commercial street is the headquarters of the Kyushu Business Alliance, the headquarters of the Kyushu Commercial Bank, and Guo Jia is the head of the headquarters of the Kyushu Business Alliance, and the honorary chairman of all the business houses in the world (Liu Tai spoof).
Although most of the new city has been planned, and the old city wall has been pushed, there is still a long time before it is really completed, after all, the establishment of a new city is not the completion of the city wall, and there are still millions of people's houses in it.
Because of Liu Tai's surprising idea, the houses in the four main urban areas are divided into a certain number of communities, each community has a population of about 10,000, and the government comes forward to auction its building rights to businessmen, of course, there are many benefits, at first those businessmen did not accept it very much, when Liu Tai personally came forward to tell the benefits, the construction rights of each community were almost sold out by the businessmen.
The most important of the benefits is that the businessman comes forward to build a house for the people, and can get the most central property in the community as its commercial building, and sells the goods of its firm to the people, and puts forward the term advertising thousands of years in advance, after explaining to the businessman, Liu Tai allows the businessman to erect advertisements for the goods of his firm on both sides of the road at the entrance and exit of the community.
Of course, the government and businessmen are not free to build houses for the people, after all, the finances of the two states are limited, and now after the construction of such a large-scale urban prototype, Liu Tai's financial pressure is already very large, Xun Yu's words can be invalidated long ago, originally Xun Yu thought that it was just to build three cities outside, middle and inside, and the area would not be so large, but now? Seven urban districts were built at once, and the area of each urban district was almost half of the original Jixian County, and the financial resources of the government were also limited, so how could they afford it?
Xun Yu, who manages the household department of the two states, has a young and strong body and a lot more gray hair in the past six months, and now as long as Liu Tai mentions money, Xun Yu will immediately avoid it far away, which makes Liu Tai helpless.
The businessman can come forward to build a house in the name of the government and sign a contract with the people, the contract states that the people must take out one-tenth of the field or other profits every year to repay the cost paid by the businessman, because of Liu Tai's restrictions, the businessman is not allowed to collect profits other than the cost after building a house for the people, and all the businessmen can only recover the principal, of course, the quality needs to be guaranteed, the architectural drawings and building materials before the start of construction in each community must be strictly reviewed by the government, and no inferior products are allowed.
After this article was known by the people, the people also knew Liu Tai's difficulties, and the quality of the house was guaranteed, and there were no opinions one by one, most of them were even willing to pay fifty percent of the profits every year to repay the principal of the businessman, this article was accepted by Liu Tai, of course, the premise is that the people must ensure that they eat and drink, in order to take out fifty percent of the profits to repay the businessman.
Because the people under Liu Tai's rule had a lot of money left over after two consecutive years of bumper harvests, after Liu Tai promulgated this regulation, tens of thousands of people handed over the house payment on the spot, which Liu Tai could not predict.
