Taking advantage of the mid-year break, Chunhua and Qiushi, two little girls, came to Dukou New Town to play, and invited Chen Dong and Shi Junbi to follow along.

The official name of this place is Ferry Street, but this is horizontal and vertical, and there are obviously many streets, why is it only called Ferry Street? Everyone doesn't care what the official name is, only the new town of Ferry.

Nowadays, the new town of Dukou is developing rapidly, because the factories are inseparable from water conservancy, and are spread out along the Shuiyang River in a north-south direction, so there are three avenues leading to the county seat in the east-west direction. The floor is paved with cement, and the end is unusually smooth. This cement is made of lime, slag and clay, ground into a fine powder, mixed with crushed stone and fine sand, and then it is as strong as a stone, and it is a building weapon.

Nowadays, the construction of reservoirs in Xuanzhou is also a large number of cement, and the progress of the project is several times faster! Li Congyi drew a team from Xuanzhou Construction, organized a company of the division's engineer battalion, and went to Yangshan Island and Butterfly Island with cement to build fortifications.

Chen Dong and Shi Junbi have been discussing and compiling middle school mathematics textbooks every day recently, forgetting to sleep and eat, Xu Meilan felt that it should not be like this, so she also followed the thoughts of the two little girls and blasted the two people out.

Li Congyi said that he wanted to marry Chunhua and Qiushi as the goddaughters of the Guogong Mansion, and these two also lost their minds, but the two of them were sold into the Qinglou since they were children, and they have always been dressed in fine clothes and food, and they are also cultivated in various ways to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so this vision is high.

Xu Meilan wanted to match Huang Guangyi and Huang Guangwu at the beginning. Huang Guangyi was willing, but the two girls thought he was old and not even a showman; As a result, Huang Guang turned his head and married the daughter of a family in the alley, saying that it was good to know the roots. The two girls thought that Huang Guangwu was okay, but Huang Guangwu was unwilling, it turned out that Dong Jingye gave him his little sister, saying that he would get married when he chose a day in the coming year.

After a few failed matches, Xu Meilan was also excited. However, the arrival of Shi Junbi made Chunhua and Qiushi move their minds. Because, Shi Junbi is the ideal husband of ordinary women in this era, a middle-aged family, and a lift, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to climb high, nor does he have to worry about firewood, rice, oil and salt. And with a background like Chen Dong, Chunhua and Qiushi can't even think of it. It's just that Chen Dong and Shi Junbi soaked together every day to study mathematics, but they were blinded by all kinds of diligence of the two.

Xuanzhou Construction has set up a separate Xuanzhou Real Estate Development Company, which specializes in housing construction. Today is the sale date of the second batch of commercial houses developed by Xuanzhou Real Estate in Dukou New Town. Chunhua and Qiushi mainly wanted to come and see the house.

For the first batch of 100 houses, Han Shi wanted to buy them all with real money and give them to the old and weak women and children in Taihu Zhuzhai to live in. In the end, it was only Li Congyi who opened his mouth and squeezed out the quota of ten suites and gave it to the backbone of Xuanzhou Iron and Steel.

The second batch of 300 houses started a month later than the first batch, but the completion was only half a month later than the first batch. And the Xuanzhou Real Estate Development Company is already planning a second community, and it is said that it intends to build 1,000 houses in three phases!

Of course, these houses are just frames, there are no furniture in them, but like boilers and stoves, they are ready-made.

However, unlike the single-family houses of the current houses, these 400 houses are divided into two communities in two batches. The complex is surrounded by a wall, with only two gates to enter and exit. The house is two-storey, the room type is similar, a row of more than 20 households, divided into multiple rows, each row in the middle of a well, and equipped with a washing table and a drainage ditch, there is a public toilet at the end of each row, and you need to go to the public toilet to go to the toilet.

The first houses were not sold. Nowadays, only a few families live in it, after all, it takes time to decorate the furniture. But many people are seeing the benefits of a new house.

The second batch of 300 houses sounds like a lot, but now that several companies here in the ferry are thriving, many people also want to move from the city to live in the new town of the ferry. And Xuancheng Real Estate Company has built a model house, which can be seen by everyone. Therefore, when a few people arrived at the new town of Ferry, they saw a group of people surrounding the sales office.

Chen Dong and Shi Junbi were pondering whether to squeeze in with two delicate girls, when they heard a crisp voice calling: "Brother Dong!" Brother Tung! ”

Chen Dong followed the prestige, but saw the half-grown girl of Liu Zai's family, standing not far away, waving vigorously at him. Looking at the graceful Xianglian standing on the side, Chen Dong couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

When Liu Manman saw Chunhua and Qiushi, he couldn't help but be jealous, and glanced at Chen Dong: "It turns out that Brother Dong has a beautiful woman as a companion in Xuancheng, no wonder he doesn't want to go out of the city to play for so long." ”

Chen Dongzheng squinted at Xianglian's chest, listened to Liu Manman's words, his face turned red, and he only said: "I'm not, I don't have ......"

Xianglian, as a woman, has been running the rivers and lakes for many years, how can Chen Dong's small actions be unknown. I also know that some young men don't like that kind of thin, and they also like those who are older, could it be that this little yanai is the same? Liu Manman, a girl, is obviously interested in Chen Dong, but this family business is also difficult. But now that the two of them are young, there is no need to worry about knowing with Liu Zai.

Chunhua and Qiushi are used to watching people put dishes on the plate, and Liu Manman is a little girl, and after just a few words, Liu Manman became familiar with the two, but she was just sister, sister, sister.

A few people finally squeezed in with the flow of people, and under the guidance of the staff, they went to see the model house. I saw that there was a few steps on the first floor of the house, but there was also a slope on the side that led to the door. A staff member pulled a rope and opened a small door on the side of the steps that was pulled up: "This is a small cellar, where you can put briquettes, firewood or other sundries, if you change this small door, you can also raise a dog or something in it." ”

After entering, there is a living room, with a kitchen with a small dining room on one side and a room on the other. Behind the living room, there is also a room on one side, and a utility room on the other, with a wooden staircase leading to the second floor. Upstairs, there are also three rooms upstairs, and the roof is also divided by wooden boards, and there is an attic, but you need to take a small ladder to go up. In today's houses, the brick walls are only the exterior walls, and the interior walls are all wooden partitions, and the sound insulation effect is almost zero. The interior and exterior walls of this terraced house are made of green bricks, except for the floor slabs and stairs.

The advantage of this house is that there are enough rooms, such a small house, it is enough for five rooms. However, the design of the model room is more exquisite, first, the small dining room uses Daqiang Wood's simple style tables and chairs, and second, the living room is equipped with double and multi-person soft chairs in addition to the traditional Eight Immortals table; The two bedrooms downstairs, one was converted into a study and tea room, and the other had a special bathing room in the bedroom, equipped with a bathtub produced in Xuan porcelain, but everyone automatically changed this place into a bath barrel; The three rooms upstairs, one for children, with a bunk wooden bed and a writing desk, and one for parents, with a 6-foot-wide bed and a dresser, all three rooms have various wardrobes.

A few people went out and felt dizzy. Only Liu Manman was excited, thinking that everything in the board room was fresh, and she shouted to ask her father Liu Zai to buy her a set.

When I entered the hall of the sales office, a few people were stunned, only to see the crowd surging, and some staff continued to persuade, "Those who have the intention to buy, please register, after the registration is completed, please leave, do not stay." At the end of the application in the afternoon, please go to the venue in front of the sales office to wait for the lottery results. ”

"Why the lottery?" Liu Manman asked curiously.

"There are so many people who want to buy. If it is only a first-come, first-served basis, it is estimated that there will be a fight. Draw lots based on luck, and whoever is drawn is eligible to buy a house. Before Shi Junbi came in, he saw the explanation on the large leaflet at the door, and he also wanted Jiang Guogong to be thoughtful. I also think that Jiang Guogong has to pay attention to such a trivial matter, and he is really tired.

"It's a lot of money, isn't it? Is everyone so rich? Liu Manman asked again.

"Depending on the size of the house, a house is between 25 taels and 30 taels. However, you can only pay 30% of the down payment first, and then use the house as collateral, and the other 70% will be loaned by Jiangnan Bank, which can be repaid in 20 years. Shi Junbi explained while praising Jiang Guogong. This kind of loan to buy a house is also a loss to Jiang Guogong to think of, but it can make people live in the house for a few more years, and they don't have to wait to save money slowly.

Chunhua and Qiushi can afford it, but they don't have a home, so they are not in a hurry to buy a house. Chen Dong naturally doesn't like this house, no matter how good this building is, it doesn't look like a house. Shi Junbi didn't think about buying a family property in Xuancheng this time. Only Xianglian was secretly wondering whether to deal with some Jinling's property and come to Xuancheng to buy a family business.

"Brother Dong, why don't you also register, in case you win the lottery, you can buy it and rent it to Sister Xianglian, so that Sister Xianglian doesn't have to live on the boat when she comes to Xuancheng, and I can also take the opportunity to spend the night here with Sister Xianglian." Liu Manman put his arm around Chen Dong and said while shaking. Seeing Xianglian turn her eyes with a smile, Chen Dong actually stepped forward to register like a ghost. Let Xianglian chuckle in her heart, I'm afraid this little girl didn't mean it.

Chen Dong is rich. Chen Qiao asked this grandson to follow Jiang Guogong, but his father Chen Xinran actually didn't think so. First, he thinks that Chen Dong's nature is not bad, and his brain is also good, so it may just be a rebellious period. Second, I don't think Jiang Guogong has any way to train Chen Dong well. The third is that he is more worried that Chen Dong will follow Jiang Guogong and be used by people with a heart to make a fuss. However, Chen Xinran did not dare to openly disobey Chen Qiaoding's matter.

When he went out in a hurry, Chen Xinran only gave Chen Dong a few dozen taels of silver to carry with him. However, he soon asked someone to send a Jiangnan Bank draft of 1,000 taels. However, after Chen Dong arrived in Xuancheng, he did not get a chance to spend money.

At this time, I went to the Jiangnan Bank branch office at the ferry and took out fifty taels. The extra part is just accompanying the four women to go shopping and buy things. However, the four of them didn't treat Chen Dong as a big wrongdoer, that is, they bought some food along the street, and after a while, they supported their stomachs, and it only cost a few hundred yuan.

It was already noon, and a few people were about to find a place to rest, when they saw a carriage stop, revealing Zhang Bin's face, and said with a smile: "Chen Gongzi disappeared in Jinling, and it turned out that he hid in the golden house of Xuancheng." ”

Chen Qiao's reuse of Sun Yanxiang can be regarded as offending Zhang Bin, Zhang Bin can't help Chen Qiao, and when he meets Chen Dong, he naturally wants to bare his teeth and crack his mouth.

Chen Dong also knew that half of his mouth was not as good as Zhang Bin, but he turned his face aside in displeasure, and casually looked for a store to hide.

Unexpectedly, Liu Manman's teeth were sharp: "You are so unproductive, you came to Xuancheng except to think about the bad thing of Jinwu Zangjiao, don't you have anything to do?" ”

Zhang Bin was stunned by a yellow-haired girl, and he was a little flustered for a while, and was about to go back, when he found that several people had entered the small shop next to him. The horseman was also patient, so he waited for Zhang Bin to move. Zhang Bin hesitated, there was indeed a lot of business to do, there was no need to make a mess on the boundary of Xuancheng, so he waved his hand and walked away quickly.

Zhang Bin came here, naturally to ask Jiang Guogong to fulfill his verbal promise at that time, that is, to sell himself some iron tools. Since this month, Jiang Guogong's Xuanzhou Iron and Steel has not only purchased quarrying iron ore, but also directly purchased quarrying and smelting iron, but of course it has flowed out privately.

At the same time, Xuanzhou Iron and Steel promoted several kinds of wooden iron ploughs in Xuanzhou, including ploughing, leveling paddy fields, and those that can cooperate with manual rice transplanting, and the sickle is also extremely cheap, Zhang Bin just wants to wholesale a batch, and then sell it to the surrounding area of Poyang Lake. If the amount is large enough, it is not impossible to sell it to Dongting Lake, although it is the territory of the Song Kingdom. In addition, Zhang Bin also wanted to find Jiang Guogong's partnership to find coal mines around Nanchang Mansion. Even, if possible, Zhang Bin also hoped that Jiangnan Bank could lend him some money, some news from the Song Kingdom this year was not quite right, and he wanted to stock up on more rice grain.

Zhao Kuangyin wanted to attack the Tang Dynasty, so naturally he couldn't wait until September to slowly transfer troops and send generals, so he transferred part of the forbidden army to Jingzhou, Shouzhou and other places through some opportunities for the rotation of the forbidden army, but the soldiers and horses originally stationed in the garrison were not transferred back to Bianliang in time. The difference between the tens of thousands of soldiers of the forbidden army will naturally bring some fluctuations to the Bianliang market. And Zhang Bin relied on his keen sense to smell the unusualness of Bianliang thousands of miles away.

Seeing Zhang Bin leaving, Chen Dong couldn't help but hum: "This guy is the most insidious, but it's not convenient to hit him, and stay away from him." ”
