Now, everyone involved in this project is proud of the unprecedented progress. Even Huang Shilu and his gang of officials who used to be cunning and cunning are now counting the work volume on their fingers every day, wishing that a quarter of an hour could be used as two quarters of an hour.
In the words of his son You Xuhe, working on this big project is so busy that there is no time for intrigues. The owner of the island - no, he should be called the supervisor now - can beat everyone involved in it like flying.
The spinning top cannot stop for a moment.
But invisibly, everyone from the king, to the ministers, to the ministers and noble disciples were all tied into the same chariot——
The chariot driven by He Xiao.
The car was going too fast and they couldn't jump out.
You Rongzhi occasionally worries about where this chariot will eventually go.
But reason and reality told him not to be suspicious. After all, He Xiao was just an outsider to this country. He had no official position and no military power. He only had a few dozen subordinates in Tianshui City, and he had many subordinates in Qingyang Supervisory State.
Hatred requires the protection of the monarch to save his life.
Perhaps, it was for the purpose of making money and saving his life that he worked so hard on the capital expansion project?
After all, although King Yao wouldn't let He Xiao touch the project funds, he still had to be considerate if he had to put in so much effort to handle such a big project, right?
Therefore, the trade between Yao Kingdom and Yangshan Islands has been further relaxed. Almost all exclusive products are open to Yangshan, and there are huge tax reductions and exemptions. Some are even given to Yangshan as full foreign agents.
You Rongzhi didn't know how many orders Yangshan had made from various officials and merchants. He only knew that his caravan was busy and was busy going in and out of various parts of the Yao Kingdom.
There have been few foreign businessmen who have done so well since the founding of Yao Kingdom, right?
He Xiao's diligence and talent are real and well-known, but there is no evidence for He Xiao's speculation and they are illusory.
You Rongzhi shook his head and threw all these little thoughts away.
His head hurt. He was too tired to think too much. He just wanted to find a place to take a nap as he had a meeting later.
…
In the blink of an eye, the model block was basically completed.
In the past few days, it was built quickly with thousands of people watching, almost at a pace every day. It has become a tourist check-in point for Tianshui City and foreign tourists.
Only the outline of the house has been formed. The streets in front of the house, the fence and yard behind the house, and the plants in the neighborhood have not been done well. There is bare loess everywhere.
But no one dared to ask for more. Although more than 5,000 craftsmen and laborers worked day and night, the speed of construction was already shocking.
After all, building a house is more technical than building roads.
Wang Zirui was curious and asked why. He Lingchuan told him that a large amount of stone and some wood were taken nearby and dismantled.
Of course, these materials are not enough to cover the entire new city, but they can barely cover one block.
After all, they are building bungalows and shops, the process is not complicated, the materials are not demanding, and there are actually many teams in Yaodu.
In order to catch up with the progress, He Lingchuan even suspended the project of Youhu Villa and moved all the materials to supply the construction of the new city.
No one has an opinion on this.
Everyone knows that He Lingchuan is thinking about the overall situation; almost all the owners of Youhu Villa are now involved in the construction of the new city, and they are not in a hurry.
Youhu Villa has its special purpose, and it is now being fulfilled. How can these owners be in a hurry to move in?
Then, the newly built model block was put on sale.
The new town is full of yellow mud, piles of building materials and noisy people everywhere, but the blocks were put up for sale the day after the roofs were sealed.
It is very close to the government offices in Xincheng and has a good location.
Under He Lingchuan's "suggestion", only 30% of the residential land and shops were sold to officials; the rest was publicly sold through announcements everywhere in Yaodu.
Because Tianshui City has not been expanded for a long time, there was no official professional house selling agency here, and it was all managed by the government. For this new city development, Yaoting specially established a "Housing Department" to specialize in the sale and transfer of new city residential land.
Tax is levied on both first and second hand goods.
Less than an hour after the news was announced, the Housing Department was already bustling with activity, and the officials' quotas were full.
Two hours later, the overall sales rate of residential land in the block model exceeded 50%.
He Lingchuan knew that civilians did not react so quickly. Although the propaganda campaign in Tianshui East City had been going on for more than half a month, they would probably wait and see.
So those who sip the soup to the end must be dignitaries!
In particular, officials involved in the eastward expansion project are very clear about Yaoting's determination to build a new city and are extremely confident in its future prospects.
If you buy it, not only will you not lose money, but you will also make a lot of money!
People are willing to pay for expectations, so officials bought up their share and used other forces to snap up the remaining homesteads.
Purchasing, holding, and escrow are all child's play.
They usually do business in this way and make profits.
He Lingchuan estimated it earlier, so there is still nearly half of this model block left for others, and more can be sold——
One and a half days.
These "other people" are still not civilians, but wealthy businessmen and gentry in Tianshui City.
They maintain close contact with the powerful people, and they can know what the powerful people are busy with at the second time.
All the rich people are rushing to buy it, it must be a good thing.
Don’t think too much, just follow it!
Just when ordinary people were still hesitant and hesitant, there were two unusually eye-catching black characters on the notice board at the door of the Fang Department:
sold out!
It was sold out in less than two days?
Many people yelled, "It's impossible, absolutely impossible, the official is lying! There are yellow mud fields everywhere. I even went to see it, but why was it sold out?"
Who would rush to buy it now? Isn’t that a big brain? Why don’t you wait until it is built?
The official did not give any explanation. They just kept quiet for seven days and allowed the news to continue to ferment.
In these seven days, the number of people visiting the new city has more than quintupled!
The newly built road was actually busy with traffic. At this time, it was obvious that although the road project carried out by You Rongzhi and He Xiao was done in a hurry, it was wide, straight and flat, and the carriage was not very stable when walking on it.
It's not like the main road in the old city. It's bumpy and bumpy every step of the way, but it still makes you jump when it's okay!
These two routes alone make passengers very satisfied.
Needless to say, Xincheng is the most hotly discussed topic in Tianshui City.
At this time, the poor relatives and servants of the rich and powerful businessmen spread the news to the market about the master's family's rush to buy model blocks. People began to hear such words as "Boss Du of the Deshui Chamber of Commerce bought a model block in Xincheng in one fell swoop."
News such as "Ten pieces of land" and "Dozens of stores along Liuding Street in Xincheng have been taken over by the XX family".
Believe it or not, the land in the new city is not cheap, and not everyone can buy it. Officials have said that the new city can only accommodate 200,000 people. Anyone who exceeds this number will go back to where they came from!
If you don't believe it, noble people are willing to spend six to seven hundred thousand taels to buy a house in Youhu. Are they stupid, just throwing money into the water for fun?
Isn’t that still a good idea and convinced of the potential of the new city?
As the topic becomes more and more popular, people's curiosity and expectations for the new city are also increasing day by day.
After seven days of duel between bulls and bears, the voices that were originally bearish on it and thought it was unreliable were gradually suppressed.
The homes in the first block were sold out in less than two days. When King Yao heard the news, he let out a long sigh, and his heart that had been hanging for ten days was finally relieved.
Qiu Long smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this is better than expected!"
Obviously the account books delivered by the Housing Department were placed in front of King Yao, but he still wanted to ask first: "Have they all been put into storage?"
"I got it, and it's a lot of money!" Qiu Long reported, "It was paid in full on the same day, and no one defaulted."
That's a hot commodity. Who dares to default on payment? If you owe it, you can't get it.
There was a smile on King Yao's eyebrows, but he still said: "A small neighborhood is nothing, and the buyers are all officials in the court. They are extremely rich! You have to watch the next few issues to really know the outcome.
sales status.”
Qiu Long explained: "This time, 30% of the quota was sold to officials, and the remaining 70% was bought by people from Tianshui City."
King Yao glanced at him with a smile: "Don't show off here, I know very well what kind of officials I have."
Qiu Long could only say: "Your Majesty is aware of everything."
King Yao asked again: "Where is the focus of the expansion? Two days ago, You Rongzhi came to report, and it seemed that he was talking about what to build on Sandiepo?"
The contents of Dongcheng expansion were extremely complex and were compiled into several thick volumes. You Rongzhi always kept a brief summary of each report, but King Yao still could not remember them all.
Just kidding, he himself is the king of a country who has everything to do, so why should he bother to remember those little things?
But Qiu Long beside him must have a good memory in case his master asks questions at any time:
"A set of Huan Biao!"
King Yao nodded: "Yes, yes, not bad, not bad."
There is a slope between the official offices and the main street of the new city. The official offices are on the top of the slope and the civilian streets are on the lower slope. The three steep slopes naturally separate the two.
There is no plan to build a house on this slope, nor can we build a temple - the status of the temple cannot be lower than that of the official office.
But the slope was empty and unsightly, so You Rongzhi reported that he planned to build a set of Huanbiao on the slope.
This is a kind of decorative building. The main body is a huge stone pillar or stone tablet, which is exquisitely carved and shows its beauty and majesty.
There are also two groups in Tianshui City, one in front of the official office and one in front of the palace. This is different from other countries that He Lingchuan has stayed in. Yuan and Chiyan also have buildings similar to Huanbiao, but they are only erected in the palace and tombs.
Before.
This is because, in the Yao Kingdom, Huan Biao not only demonstrated the peak of royal power, but also reflected the strength of the country.
Therefore, his proposal to build Huanbiao on this slope is completely in line with the national conditions and people's views of Yao State, and there is no problem at all.
Chapter completed!
