I am King in troubled times Chapter 15 The new look of the old city
The construction of Jixiang New Town is in full swing, and the area south of Phoenix Avenue has been handed over to the Ministry of Construction, and its own decoration team will be renovated according to the requirements of the householders. The decoration of some public buildings is subject to unified bidding by the Ministry of Construction, and the construction is carried out according to the design requirements.
The manpower for the construction of the new city is sufficient, and the young and strong people from outside have already filled the labor gap.
As the true situation of Jixiangling was gradually understood by the outside world, the lake embankment and Dongshan Pass had to strengthen the inspection of outsiders, and it was difficult for idle people to enter Jixiangling through the checkpoint. The Government Council did this, but also from the comprehensive quality of the people, auspicious as long as the useful people, speculators or where to come, now it is auspicious in the era of picking people.
At the end of September, Wang Xuan specially approved Cai Gang to recruit 500 young people from outside the country, enrich the security team, and inspect everywhere.
After the battle to defend the pass, the 300 people of the security team in the north of the city who supported the pass suffered heavy losses, and these were all retired veterans, which made Wang Xuan feel distressed. The newly added 500 security teams mainly inspect Lianhua Town, which has the largest foreign population and needs to strengthen law and order. Moreover, this is a newly developed land after all, and the danger is higher than that of the north, so it is a good time to test them.
Cai Gang has already said that the top 100 outstanding players will be selected from these 500 people in half a year to become regulars. For a time, the city's general security department was like a city, and it took more than ten days for the security team to pick out 500 people. The interviewer laughed at himself that he had never been so tired of picking a wife, which shows that the quality of this group of personnel is so high that it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a thousand choices.
The old town in the northeast corner of Jixiang City has begun to be demolished, and the aborigines have been allocated new houses.
The foreign leaders who rent here also have to change owners, and now their biggest reliance is not on others, but on their own children who are borrowing from Jixiang.
The Ministry of Education has already issued a document that if any child who borrows from outside the school can be admitted to Jixiang Technical College or Jixiang Normal University, he will receive a scholarship of 100 gold coins every year, and the whole family can move into Jixiang immediately.
The auspicious settlement policy is very targeted, it is difficult for useless people to survive in auspiciousness, there are no slaves, no beggars, no hook bar casinos, if you want to live well, you must at least have a skill.
The demolition households in the old city have been having some happy troubles recently, it stands to reason that the old houses are gone, in exchange for spacious, bright brick buildings, and three-story shops on the street.
The trouble comes from the house, and one of the prerequisites for those who want to settle down in auspiciousness is to buy a property. In addition to joining the army, teaching, research and special contributions, I have to honestly proceed step by step, and the house is a hurdle that cannot be overcome.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs designated the first batch of real estate for foreign leaders to purchase and settle down, which was limited to the scope of Jixiang New Town, which avoided the possibility of someone buying a random place to cut corners.
The first batch of houses for sale is only 500 units, which will be auctioned, and the highest bidder will get a maximum of three units per day.
How is this enough? Great Xia is in turmoil everywhere, and no one with a little family background wants to have a place to live. Compared with the collars, apart from the royal capital, where is there more suitable than the auspicious collar?
Therefore, every time the house is auctioned, the price is sky-high, and the premium is at least twice as high. This has plunged middle-class buyers into despair, and there will only be more and more wealthy businessmen who will move to auspiciousness in the future, and they will not be able to buy houses in the early stage, and it will be more difficult in the later stage, and no one knows where the next batch of designated purchase areas is. If it is a wasteland area in the south, the fun will be great, and besides, there is no better place than the auspicious city.
Some middle-class people who are in a hurry to settle down are like ants on a hot pot, and now they can't settle down as soon as possible if they can't buy a house, and if they can't settle down as soon as possible, they can't get at least two gold coins a month, and if they can't get such a high salary, it is even more difficult to save enough money to buy a house, but the rising housing prices are enough to consume them to death.
The red-eyed foreigners finally found a loophole in the immigration policy, that is, buying a house from the demolition people.
First, both parties benefit, and secondly, they act in a hidden way, which will not attract attention and do not violate auspicious laws and regulations.
Subsequently, no less than 100 middle-class households settled in this way.
For the owner of a demolished house, the house is either for personal use or for sale.
Not to mention personal use, there are two objects for sale that can be referred to. The first is to sell it to relatives and friends who come to defect, although it earns less, but it deepens the family and friendship; the second is to sell it to foreign leaders to earn a large amount of gold coins, which can be invested in building a factory, and can also buy real estate elsewhere.
The Ministry of Civil Affairs has been informed of the incident, but it has not pursued it because the impact is not significant.
Government Affairs Yuan, 1st Floor, Ministry of Civil Affairs, Housing and Construction Office.
A local who handled the demolition real estate certificate walked out with the certificate, and someone came up at the corner of the aisle to talk.
"Brother, there are outsiders who want to buy your house at a high price, are you interested in it?" said a local, looking around alertly.
"Hey, it's really like this, I said you are really bold...... the man in his thirties was about to complain a few words, and the panicked man covered his mouth and signaled him not to say more.
This is the Government Council, you can come in secret, everyone will turn a blind eye and pass it; if you come openly, you will be taboo, you are clearly slapping your face, who will get used to you?
So the two came to sit on the curb on the side of Zhengxi Road and chatted.
"My house is in the 17th district, with a residence in the back and shops along the street in front, how much can they sell?" said the thirty-year-old man.
"Then your brother sent it, depending on the location and layout of your house, you can't get it without two hundred gold coins, I guarantee that it is only high and not low. The middleman patted his chest and assured the man.
In the first half of the year, the market price was a set of 50 gold coins, and now with the influx of wealthy people, the market is bullish, and it has reached the level of nearly 100 gold coins. Although the 200 gold coins were lower than the government's auction price, it was a lot for a house in a non-auction area, and he could have bought two more similar houses in other districts.
On the third day, the man sold the new house allocated by the demolition to the foreigner for 210 gold coins, and then spent 110 gold coins to buy a façade house with a similar layout in the 3rd North District, and made a net profit of 100 gold coins back and forth.
He Huan's family has a total of three shops, all of which are in the 18th district in the south of the city, and now they have also sold one set to relatives in their hometown at a reasonable price, and purchased another one in the north of the city for the old family. He Huan and his wife take care of their grandchildren on weekdays, and when they are busy, they also do some things to buy and sell, which makes He Long and his wife envious. Fortunately, they were already officially citizens in April, and their lives were comfortable.
Public facilities such as a normal university, a Jixiang Hotel, a nursing home, and a vegetable market will be built in the old city, which will be built by Liu's Construction and Jixiang Jiangnan Construction.
Half a month before the start of construction, the recruitment of general workers was carried out, and there were many applicants.
The vast majority of foreign leaders come to apply, not only for food, but also for the priority of settling down.
Those involved in the construction of auspicious public facilities will be given priority to the front when they settle down.
The greening of the old city is a bit bad, so the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Construction have allocated 1,000 gold coins for the transplanting of green plants, flowers and plants, making it the most beautiful area except for the 12 districts. Every building here has an auspicious face, and it is impossible to put too much thought into it.
The trees on both sides of the road have long been planted, and now they have become a towering trend, and large areas of land on the roadside have been cleared for greening and planting flowers and plants.
There is a large area of plum garden in front of the Normal University, a large peach forest behind the nursing home, and the surrounding area of Jixiang Hotel is full of endless flowers and plants, with a wide field of vision and fragrant and pleasant air.
In the 9th district, except for the old sites of the Lord's Palace, the Government Council and the Academy, which are still preserved, the rest of the buildings have been emptied, and the Normal University is located on the east side.
There is an area the size of a football field between the Normal University and the Jixiang Hotel in District 10, which has been built as a public carriage terminal, and there will be nearly 100 horse-drawn carriages to and from Jixiang every day, providing convenience for everyone to travel.
The Ministry of Agriculture has also set up a small experimental field in the five districts to test the novel seeds collected in recent years, hoping to discover several edible vegetables and fruits, or new drugs with great medicinal value.
Wang Xuan allocated 1,000 gold coins from the inner treasury to support the construction and maintenance of the experimental field, and issued a recruitment notice, seeking people who are proficient in agricultural affairs to apply, and they can settle down after admission.
Wang Xuan still lives in the old lord's mansion, and now he has to plan for the construction of the new lord's mansion.
The first and second bureaus of Jijian were busy with the construction of ports and wharves, and now there were only 500 engineers who were still free. Some of these key projects have been hidden and will be built by Wang Xuan's Bailai Internal Guard, and Yang Tao has long been eager to try.
After the news spread that the Lord's Mansion was about to be built, which had already attracted everyone's attention, Jixiang City suddenly became elegant.
Both locals and foreigners treat this event with a different sense of respect.
There has always been a desire in the hearts of auspicious people to be able to do something for the young Lord, but they are always at a loss for what their Lord is doing. Liu Yao's mother-in-law is the epitome of the mascot treating Wang Xuan, she owes too much but is calm, and the kindness that can't be repaid in a lifetime makes everyone a little paranoid. They want to do what they can for Wang Xuan, not to repay their kindness, not to repay debts, but simply to do something for him, so that everyone will feel down-to-earth, just like a treat, there must be a relationship to last for a long time.
The reason why the foreign leaders respect the lord of the auspicious collar from the bottom of their hearts is that one is the rule of culture and the other is martial arts.
In the past two years, auspiciousness has changed from an ominous and cursed place to a place where the literary style is becoming stronger and stronger, and scholars are eager to study; from an illiterate collar with only more than 1,000 people who know commonly used words, to a diligent collar who is now reading and reading and writing; from having no school in the whole collar to a feat of no less than ten colleges and universities, who can do it?
In terms of martial arts, known as the 'bloody August', the second war of Jichi, the young lord went to the front line in person, sat in the Dongshan Pass, and blocked the non-stop attack of the 20,000 army of Chiyan for three days and nights with a force of more than 1,000 people, and finally counterattacked with supreme wisdom Jedi to annihilate the Red Flame army, and a generation of generals Xinghuoyun ended up with hatred, who can do this?
