After Xu Xiake finished speaking, he paused and continued: "It's no wonder that they, God doesn't let the living, they can only find a way to get money, I am really familiar with Xijing City, but if I say it, their credit will be gone, God has the virtue of a good life, and Taoists have always taken it as their responsibility to support the righteous path, since he can make more money, I don't need to speak again." ”

"Daochang Xu, listening to what you say, I feel sorry for these coachman brothers, God doesn't let them live what to say, so that we can also know."

Yue Guanchao hugged Xu Xiake's neck, looked downstairs and asked, the little Taoist priest was obviously touched, and sighed: "The matter of Xijing City is not something that can be explained clearly in one or two sentences, everything is black and white, and naturally there are pros and cons, when we came, did you see the shack outside the city?" ”

"I see." Everyone looked puzzled.

"These people in the shack were actually driven out by the Xijing City Mansion, speaking of which Xijing has changed a lot, and it has to start with the preparation of Lijing!"

Subsequently, Xu Xiake took them to sit on the sofa and explained the changes in Xijing over the years!

Xijing said that it was true that it was the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, but since the Chang'an City of the Han and Tang Dynasties was burned down, this place has declined, so that when it came to the Zhu Ming Dynasty, it was necessary to shrink the urban area, which showed that its strength was weak, coupled with soil erosion in the northwest and excessive loess wind and sand, it added to the sense of barrenness.

As for the Republic of China, Xijing is far away from both the north and the south, and no wind or grass can blow here, and if you want to stand in line, others don't care about you, if it weren't for the reputation of the ancient capital of the Thirteen Dynasties, it would have been completely forgotten long ago.

In recent years, the important towns in the north and south have invigorated the economy and have already become a prosperous city, but the city of Xijing is still stuck in the last years of the previous dynasty, there are no western-style halls, no modern commercial buildings, no prosperous blocks, there are not even a few banks and foreign banks, the city is full of dilapidated houses, even the roads are yellow mud rammed earth, and the dust is rippling when walking, and the originally gray and dusty blocks are even more dirty and messy.

Xijing and others are an opportunity to develop!

When the Shaanxi Provincial Government learned that the ancient city was selected as the preparatory capital, the adults knew that the opportunity for the development of Xijing had come, and immediately established the Xijing Preparatory Institute in the second month after the selection, which was specially used for the planning and restructuring of Xijing, the construction of style, investment promotion and other miscellaneous affairs.

It was also at this time that the ancient city of Xijing City began to take on a new look!

According to the planning of the Xijing Preparatory Institute, with the ancient city of Xijing as the center, the style of the ancient city dwellings is renovated, the dilapidated houses are repaired, electric wires, telegraphs, buses are opened, roads are repaired, shops and western-style buildings are added on both sides of the road, and the administrative, historical, cultural, industrial, commercial, agricultural, and scenic functional areas are extended along the city wall.

It's just that at that time, Xijing was just a crazy legend of the common people, and at least from the public level, no documents had been received, which also meant that the General Executive Yuan would not allocate funds to them from the state treasury, and they were responsible for winning or losing.

The Xijing Mansion didn't have to be like this, but they also knew that the situation in the Republic of China was changing rapidly, and all the opposition and the public wanted to fight the world, and they didn't know whether the north won or the south won, and at the same time, Yucheng in Shu Province, Jianghan in Hubei Province, Jinling in Suzhou Province, and Luoyang in Henan Province were also selected.

Since it is impossible to determine where it is, these all the alternative cities naturally have to compete and win a Bo, even if Xijing only has the qualifications to become a companion capital, then it must first build a momentum, and build the ancient city and expand the new city, which is a lot of money, and the Xijing Mansion is located in the northwest and has no surplus, so it has to give tax incentives to attract foreign businessmen to undertake various renovation projects in Xijing, so as to reduce the financial pressure.

At that time, the outside of Xijing City was full of dense villages and ancient villages, and the city was also full of dilapidated houses.

Not to mention anything else for the time being, just the land acquisition and land allocation has already tossed the people of Xijing City miserably!

As early as the land acquisition plan has not yet been released, there are doorways foreign merchant groups, guild halls, local gentry, and landlords have already gotten the news first, they have always known that land can generate huge profits, and began to buy land and merge shops in the transportation pipelines and planning points of the ancient city.

These places are just dilapidated dwellings, some of them don't even have dwellings, just a few barren and collapsed waste earth walls, counting the highest land value is only five oceans, and the people don't know the land plan, and they can't imagine that the land will bring about a high land price.

A few months later, the provincial capital announced the land demarcation regulations, and the old camp renovation projects in Xijing City came one after another, and the extremely active construction also brought about a sharp rise in land prices, and the land in the ancient city skyrocketed from more than ten yuan per mu to hundreds of oceans, or even more than a thousand oceans.

Dozens of times the windfall profits are in front of you, and the oil and fat in your hands are gone, and the poor people have reacted to it, and their land has been sold cheaply!
