There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 389

"Is there anything wrong recently?" Emperor Xianzong put down the child and let him crawl around on the bed to play.

"No." Ji Yanran shook her head, "The empress and concubine take good care of their servants."

"En." Emperor Xianzong nodded, stood up and said, "I'm going to read the papers."

"Respectfully send off the emperor." Ji Yanran respectfully sent Emperor Xianzong away, heaved a sigh of relief, turned around, and found her son on the bed smiling at her, unconsciously, she also smiled.

Laugh contentedly.

At the end of June, the news of the Great Coastal Victory came, and the harvest of the great victory was sent to Beijing. For a while, the alleys were empty, and there were too many people watching the excitement. .

Fortunately, Wantong had divided it up at the beginning, and sent some to the palace and some to the national treasury.

What was sent to the treasury was real gold, silver and copper coins; what was sent to the palace was all rare treasures.

At the same time, the gold mine discovered by Wantong and the others last year has also produced income. The miners in the gold mine are all pirates and Japanese pirates, because they are all criminals, and their place is an isolated island, so everyone can only work obediently.

This time the gold mine was only mined for a short period of time, and 1 taels of gold was sent to Daming, which shows that the gold mine has a rich reserve.

There are [-] troops stationed on the island, and less than [-] labor miners. There is fresh water there, and vegetables are delivered every three days, and rice noodles, oil and meat are delivered every ten days.

The consumption didn't cost much, but the gold collected was quite a lot.

The happiest ones are the officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the treasury is getting more and more full.

Now walking with the wind, they are not poor.

At the same time, there was a letter from Wantong. Emperor Xianzong laughed when he saw Wantong's letter. He thought of Wu Youwei's letter.

Although the contents inside were about to shatter in front of him, he still attached great importance to what was said in the letter.

After reading Emperor Xianzong's letter from Wantong, he was even more happy, and then let people wait for the news from Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture.

After Wu Youwei's official memorial arrived, Emperor Xianzong approved it.

He is a person who does not stick to tradition, otherwise he would not have been in love with Wan Zhen'er, a woman 17 years older than him, for so many years.

So he allowed Wu Youwei to use a new-style carriage with two main drivers and two co-drivers.

Anyway, the large carriages of rich people now also have a main driver and a co-driver.

Double-wheeled carriages have become popular, but sometimes, some people rely on their status and feel that this rule should be followed, but if everyone does not follow it, those old and stubborn people can't do much...

This is the law that does not blame the public.

hey-hey...

Now that Emperor Xianzong was in power, he began to let himself go. This kind of matter was approved without even discussing it with the cabinet.

In addition, Wantong's dispatch of troops this time made the people in the court even more calm on the surface, but there were many discussions in private.

The British Duke said to Emperor Xianzong: "Zhong Ming is really courageous."

"I'm not very courageous, and I can't snatch a gold mine back for me." Emperor Xianzong is now more satisfied with Wantong than Wu Youwei, and this is the pillar of Ming Dynasty.

"It's just that everyone is talking about it now, and the north is also afraid that the army's morale will not be stable." They all want to go to the south. Although the north has also won the battle, it is not satisfied with the harvest. After all, the income of the navy is much higher than that of the army. up.

"If you're afraid, go out and fight. If you win the war, you will get a lot of spoils." Emperor Xianzong said: "I want to go to the south, but I don't even think about it. A group of landlubbers, go to the south to reclaim the sea?"

The British Duke was amused by Emperor Xianzong's childish words: "There are people who will die for money.

"Then I can't use their lives to make money!" Emperor Xianzong said: "How long did Wantong train before he went into the water? He also recruited veterans to lead the team with sharp weapons, so he dared to fight pirates and Japanese pirates." war, what about them?"

Emperor Xianzong knew about the corruption of the Weisuo's farming system, but he had no choice but to give them some opportunities to make meritorious deeds, reward them more generously, and not take back their trophies.

In order to motivate their fighting spirit, but they only focus on money.

"You have to give them something lucrative to do, right?" The British Duke smiled wryly: "They're all too poor."

"I know." Emperor Xianzong recalled the contents of Wantong's memorial: "So let them repair the Great Wall, now let them... build the city wall."

At any rate, it was a lucrative job, and the family members could find jobs there. With cement concrete, it was not difficult to cast a wall, and once the repair was successful, at least there would be no problems for a period of sixty years.

"Huh?" The British public was a little confused.

In June, Yisi, the court ordered that a side wall be built from Zichengzhai to Huamachi.

The Ministry of Industry provided a large amount of cement there, and at the same time, the road from Shanghai County to Qingpu County was smooth, and Wu Youwei got the permission of Emperor Xianzong, and the bus and horse-drawn carriages were officially... trial operation.

During the trial operation period, tickets were sold twice as high as the predetermined price.

But even so, the people of the two counties flocked to it, and when they walked back and forth, they were full of enthusiasm, especially when everyone was riding in a carriage. Although according to the regulations, the carriage can only pull twelve people, plus the driver and co-driver. The cashier is also the driver of the reserve coach.

There are five horse-drawn carriages, which can carry 60 passengers at a time.

This is because "sixty" is a year, and Wu Youwei hopes that the bus and horse-drawn carriage can run for a long time, because the horse-drawn carriage is always more environmentally friendly than the car.

Qingpu County is undergoing major construction, but Wu Youwei posted good news on the county government's announcement wall: houses in Qingpu County can be pre-purchased in Qingpu County.

At the same time, let Lao Zhang and the others spread the word that Daling has reserved half of the house in Qingpu County, and is going to resell it to make a fortune!

Shen's

As soon as Old Master Shen Shen Cong heard this, he asked his eldest son, "Where did you get the news?"

"Old Zhang said that he was collecting money at home and wanted to make a fortune with Da Ling." Shen Yi said: "And the second brother also said that the county magistrate and Da Ling are on the same list and the same year. Also visited him.

Wu Youwei didn't hide his relationship with Yang Yiqing. Many people knew what the new Qingpu county magistrate and his own magistrate looked like when they were visiting Shanghai County.

What's more, Wu Youwei blatantly stated that Yang Yiqing, who was going to see Yang Yiqing, lived there for half a month before returning.

"Your younger brother's house is over there, tell them to buy a house quickly!" The old man of the Shen family said schemingly: "Be sure to buy as much as you want!"

As a result, Shen Yi sent someone to tell Shen Er, and Shen Er came to Shen's house in person.

"Father, everyone is watching!" Shen Er said unhappily: "Besides, how can anyone collect money first and then build a house?"

I don't know what it looks like.

Said enviously looked at the ancestral house.

Since the implementation of sewage pipes in Shanghai County, Shen's house has also been repaired. The pipes have been connected and the water has been installed.

"What do you know?" Mr. Shen reprimanded him: "Look at the housing prices in Shanghai County, how much are they now? There is still no market for this! Who will sell it? They plan to keep it for future generations, our Shen family His ancestral home is here, how much advantage does it take

Shen Yi heard it, isn't it!

"Brother, just listen to your father. I will also buy houses and shops in your county town. You know, your elder brother and I have three sons. In the future, the eldest son will inherit the family business, and the second and third sons will be divided. I will buy more property and divide the family between the two of them in the future so that they will not have to go out and live in hardship." Shen Yi said more and more excitedly: "Look at the house in Shanghai County, it used to be ten taels before, but later it cost a thousand taels when it was repaired. Now Some people will buy it!” Unfortunately, no one sold it, because Wu Youwei stipulated that whoever buys a house can settle down in Shanghai County, but he is not allowed to open brothels and gambling businesses.

Even if sister Yao is a good student, she can come to Shanghai County to settle down, but once she finds a problem with her style of work, she will be expelled from Shanghai County immediately, and even the house will be taken back. When everyone buys a house, they have to sign many contracts.

Shen Ru was dubious: "Can Qingpu County be as good as Shanghai County?"

Thinking back when he wanted to come back, the county magistrate didn't agree.

The shrew in his family still scolded him for being useless, but he beat him up and stopped.

"Didn't you say that Qingpu County is better than Shanghai County?" Mr. Shen Cong glared at him, "I'm just telling you, you can buy it if you want, if you don't want to buy it, get out, your elder brother will definitely buy it.

Needless to say, Mr. Shen, Shen Yi has already decided to buy it.

Huangjia

When Huang Axing came back, he frantically collected the money. His wife thought something was wrong, so she asked him anxiously, "What are you doing with the money?"

The family managed to live a good life, what happened?

"Get rich with Da Ling!" Huang A Xing said, "Give me as much as I have at home. If you miss this village, you won't have this store!"

"Give so much money to Da Ling?" The Huang family's wife not only speculated: "Is it possible?"

"What do women and Taoists know?" Huang Axing said happily: "If your hair grows long, your knowledge will be short, don't you? Only by following the orders can you make money..."

The same is true for the Tian family, they are all gathering funds.

The four villages held a clan meeting, which showed that they could buy a house in Qingpu County.

Some people were puzzled, so naturally someone told him that Qingpu County will be the second Shanghai county after that, look at the prices of the houses in Shanghai now, how are they rising?

Wu Youwei is also collecting funds here. He has a lot of expenses now, so he has to keep some money in the bottom of the box, and use the rest to support Yang Yiqing's real estate business.

In addition, the county government has some savings, and he plans to set up a Shanghai county office in Qingpu County...

Wantong sorted out the "post" that Wu Youwei had told him, and handed it over to Emperor Xianzong.

His proposal is to arrange some military surplus to work as postmen in the post office, which can also solve the problem of the military households.

At the same time, it is proposed to build cement avenues, called highways, which can also be learned from Shanghai County, where the counties organize buses and horse-drawn carriages to make travel more convenient for the people.

The booklet was handed over, but there was no reply.

Autumn, Jiayin in July, the imperial court exempted Jiangxi from the disaster-stricken autumn grain.

At the same time, there was a rush to buy houses in Shanghai County. In the end, Yang Yiqing failed to keep Wu Youwei's half of the houses, but only left him a fifth.

The remaining three-fifths were pre-ordered by people from the county, and one-fifth was pre-ordered by wealthy people from Shanghai.

That's it, there are still many people who haven't bought it. They go to the county government all day long to talk to Yang Yiqing, let him learn about the orders of Shanghai, and see where they are, they have settled for their own people first.

Yang Yiqing specially ran over to Wu Youwei and said, "My worries are all in vain."

Because these people blindly believe that they will live as well as those in Shanghai County.

"I'll just say you're just worrying about my real estate business!" Wu Youwei cried, "My money!"

Chang Yiqing couldn't laugh or cry.

There are also people from Qingpu County in Wantong's navy. Now that their pockets are bulging, they brought their family to live on Yingdao, but their family has no place to live yet?

So Wantong, on behalf of the military, reserved a residential area with Yang Yiqing, about [-] houses: "Remember to put it in a residential area, and then this will be the family area of ​​​​the navy."

Because the arable land on Yingdao is limited, these military households still have to live in Qingpu County.

If you want to live, you must have a house. If you want land, there is plenty of farmland, but few people who farm land by the sea usually go out to fish.

If the water is good and the courage is to go out to sea, it will be enough to eat for three months when you come back.

In addition, there are too many places to work here, and there is no shortage of jobs. As long as you are willing to endure hardships, you will definitely make a fortune.

"When I finish building the first batch here, I will think about a place to house my family." Yang Yiqing can feel the wind on his feet when he walks now: "I promise to choose a place with good geomantic omen for you!"
