Chapter 256: The whole family mobilizes to look at the wedding room
Longcheng is the city of the imperial city of Longhua Kingdom for several generations, and its housing planning and layout are more divided into inner city and outer city. Most of the people who can live in the inner city are some powerful families, and they are also called the inner palace compound by the people in the outer city. It means that ordinary people can't live in it!
With the overthrow of the Longhua Dynasty, Longhua ended the rule of a feudal dynasty in Zuihou, and these houses were built in the inner city. Naturally, it has also become a lot of high-ranking officials of the new government, and they have taken it as their own residence. also enjoy the so-called new government period, the superior aristocratic life, until Xu Bin moved the commander-in-chief of the Xu family's army.
The first thing to do was to renovate all the original palace compounds and move all the organs of many military units to the palace to handle cases. As for the council chamber, which was formerly used to worship the minister, it has also been turned into a reception room. The dragon chair, which the new government has been reluctant to remove, also asked Xu Bin to move to other things as a cultural relic of Longhua in the future for preservation.
In short, Xu Bin's arrival has made the atmosphere of the imperial city here a lot lighter, and those ownerless properties that have been cleaned up. It is also leased in the same way as for people with official positions in the government. The rest of the people who don't have official positions but want to dominate all the time, those who are in the houses of princes and nobles. Either they paid a lot of rent like the East China Army, or they withdrew from these properties that belonged to the government.
This is to take such a thing, Xu Bin took a similar approach to later bidding, auctioning off some of the exterior houses. Let those powerful and wealthy businessmen who feel that they want to live in it and get rich and noble, it is good to have a lot of blood. With the money obtained from the auction, Xu Bin replanned the layout of the outer city, striving to make the invisible barrier of the city disappear.
The inner city, which was previously forbidden for ordinary people to enter, has now become a place where ordinary people can come in and wander around at any time. Of course, the military aircraft that belong to the junta are important. It's still strictly controlled personnel to enter. And in a residential area around the original palace, it is even more heavily guarded.
After recovering the houses that were occupied by scoundrels, Xu Bin also kept a lot of them as a house for some of his henchmen to live in. Of course, these houses are not Xu Bin's public interests, except for arranging for the compound where the military government pays rent to the compound where he lives similar to Situ Baili, who pays rent to the Longcheng government every month.
The rest, like the courtyard house used for Xu Jiacheng's marriage this time, was bought by Xu Bin himself and given to Xu Jiacheng. This also means that the house where Stuber Baili now lives. It is limited to his residence during his employment. If he retires, these houses will still be repossessed by the government. And Xu Jiacheng, who has an exclusive house purchase certificate, belongs to Xu Jiacheng for the rest of his life. For this reason, this generous gift is not insignificant.
Of course. In order not to let these high-ranking officials who have worked hard for the government all their lives, feel that they will not be taken seriously when they retire. Xu Bin is also in the former royal palace of Dragon City. A number of houses were built that were similar to those of the later Gaogan Sanatorium. Wait until the future when these old people retire. You can make your home there until you are old.
The reason for this is also very simple, that is, Xu Bin does not want to see a group of so-called powerful families breed around the imperial city in the future. This kind of preferential treatment that can only be enjoyed by incumbents has undoubtedly made many high-ranking officials and ordinary people feel that the military government led by Xu Bin has indeed given a different feeling.
Even Xu Bin said it publicly. If one day he retires in the future, he will not live in this kind of deep palace compound. If he can, he would prefer to take his wife and children back to Gannan Heifeng Village to live in that green mountain and green water. This is an unattainable deep palace compound in the eyes of others. In Xu Bin's view, it is like a cage.
When Situ Baili's family changed into civilian clothes and went to the imperial court, which was a few miles away from them, to see the house that Xu Bin sent to Xu Jiacheng's family. In order to ensure the safety of the group, the guard division still arranged a lot of police posts in the dark to follow.
It wasn't until the group walked to the road and found a few rickshaws to act as foot force that the family had to go to work in the afternoon except for Situ Baili. In addition, he also looked at the house at the time, and thought it was still very good, so there was no past. The rest of the Situ family accompanied Xu Jiacheng, who had also never seen the house, to see the home that completely belonged to him and Situ Ruyun in the future.
Although Situ Qingyun changed into civilian clothes, out of the sensitivity of a soldier, he could still see trotting and gesturing from time to time. The plainclothes guards who kept alternating guards, after asking Xu Jiacheng and waiting for a nod, really understood that in the seemingly quiet imperial city, it was actually still in a state of looseness on the outside and tightness on the inside!
When a few rickshaws pulled the Situ family and his party to the street of the house, they saw that the building had been labeled with the big red word "happiness". When there were guards with guns at the door, the rickshaw drivers undoubtedly guessed the identities of these young and old.
After getting the car money from Situ Ruyun, several coachmen saw that each of them got a Long Yang, and naturally knew that this was a reward from others. Therefore, after thanking him happily, he hurriedly pulled the rickshaw and left. Because they could more or less feel that there seemed to be a lot of visiting eyes around them.
Nowadays, it is also a relatively profitable way to pull rickshaws in Longcheng. Although they have to pay a certain amount of rent every month like a car dealership, they can only earn money for food and clothing compared to before. Now, after Xu Bin came in, he directly ordered the new government to take over with full powers, and carried out a series of subdivisions for the work of these low-level masses.
In short, now these rickshaw drivers only need to work hard every month. After January, I can still save a lot of money to support my family. If you work hard, you will be able to use the money you earn to do some other small business in less than half a year. The expectation of a better day is undoubtedly more hopeful.
Seeing Xu Jiacheng and his entourage coming, the guard standing at the gate of the courtyard recognized Xu Jiacheng's identity. still checked Xu Jiacheng's documents very dutifully, and even Situ Qingyun didn't let go. As for these female dependents, it is relatively simple, they only need to show their household registration certificate in the city, which is handled by the new government, and they will be put in.
This kind of household registration certificate, which is similar to the ID card of later generations, is also a regulation made by Xu Bin in order to strengthen the management of floating personnel and prevent them from being broken into the house by enemy agents. Even those who have returned to the consulate street known as Foreigner's Street. For those foreigners in the consulate, every staff member must go to the Liaison Department to carry out the case.
Anyone who enters Longhua and does not have a certificate for three days will be deported as a smuggler. Again, this is to prove that there is no doubt in you. If you don't have your papers on you and you can't find a local to do it for you, it means that you have to come up with a reason to trust the security personnel to clear your name. This kind of household registration management undoubtedly also has first-hand information about the population ruled by the new government and the population in the city.
The reason the guards knew Xu Jiacheng and asked him to show his ID was that they were currently on a protection mission. There are several women inside, and it can be said that no one can afford to miss the slightest. Even if it is their own division commander, these soldiers will be meticulous in accordance with the protection regulations.
On the contrary, if these soldiers see that it is Xu Jiacheng and let him in, they will not be praised and will be criticized. This is also the reason why Xu Bin emphasized that the sanctity of sentinels is inviolable. Don't say it's Xu Jiacheng, even Xu Bin is the same. If he wants to go to some place that is kept strictly secret for inspection, he must also show his identity certificate before he can be allowed to pass by the officers and soldiers on duty. This is also to prevent the leakage of secrets due to such negligence in the event that officials are coerced.
learned that early this morning, Bai Mulan and Xu Bin's wife-to-be were quiet, and they were directing the construction personnel inside at the moment to arrange the yard for themselves. Xu Jiacheng was undoubtedly very moved! Even if he is quiet with Guan Wenjing, this second lady who still needs to keep filial piety for his deceased father for three years before he can marry Xu Bin. Treat him like a brother!
Born as an orphan can get such good treatment, what reason does he have not to work for Xu Bin? With the Situ family, who were also a little moved, Xu Jiacheng also stepped into the courtyard for the first time, and soon saw that the two commanders' wives were calling for the invited construction workers to arrange the furniture in order. Even some windows are pasted with the word "happy" in red.
It wasn't until a pair of twin beauties who accompanied Bai Mulan that the future owner of the yard was coming, and Bai Mulan, who turned around, also looked very happy and said: "Jiacheng, come and see, Wen Jing and I arranged the home for you, are you still satisfied?" Oh, the old lady is here too, I'm really sorry. Just now, I was just watching them put the furniture, and I forgot to pick you up. I'm so sorry! ”
The old lady looked at the two daughters saluting her, and said with a very frightened look: "How dare I, an old woman, be the two nobles to greet each other in person!" Speaking of which, Ruyun girl's marriage, let you always help Qiang Luo, I still have to take care of the two nobles! ”
Although it is not popular to call the queen and the princess now, the title of noble is undoubtedly given to the two women in front of Xu Bin. The most honorable salutation, for which it is called. Bai Mulan looked very helpless and said: "Old lady, it's a new era now, you should call me Mulan if you always do."
I always listen to the nobles and nobles, and I feel as if I have money attached to my body. It's not expensive, it's not expensive, the old lady still calls me Mulan. I'm a little more comfortable with that! ”
As for the situation Wenjing, who is famous for the time being but has no husband and wife, it is still like her name, and she seems to be quiet and quiet, and she has the temperament of a lady. Naturally, they also greeted the Situ family very decently.
Looking at these two women who were in the previous dynasty, both queens and concubines, they behaved so politely. The Situ family also knows that there are really not many people who can get this kind of honor. From this point, it can also be seen that their Situ family is indeed not light in this Longhua country! (To be continued......)
