One day in July of the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, the sun was shining brightly.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Fan has been in Jiangnan for more than three months.
The hot weather did not dampen the enthusiasm of the people.
After all, the people's expectations for the future are hotter than the bright sunshine.
Since taking charge of Huating County, Yang Fan has recruited talents and continuously changed people's livelihood. Every citizen's eyes are filled with the light of happiness.
If you pay, you will be rewarded.
The eyes of the common people are sharp.
If there is a man who bullies a man and dominates a woman in the fish and meat village, the people will definitely nail this person on the pillar of shame in history. He will be reviled by word of mouth and be reviled for thousands of years.
On the contrary, if you can do practical things for the people, they will remember you in their hearts and think of you forever.
Although Yang Fan has only been in charge of Huating County for a few months, a series of policies have already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, his reputation among the people is rising day by day. The people respect him, love him and praise him, and even build a shrine for him...
Today is an even more important day.
With the joint efforts of hundreds of thousands of people and modern tools, the construction of new cities has sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
When Yang Fan's carriage headed to the new city under the scorching sun, he presided over the new city move-in and house allocation ceremony.
When people on the road see Yang Fan's carriage from a distance, they will stand quietly on the side of the street, or pay attention and salute, or simply bow to the ground... Lan
Seeing this, Yang Fan in the carriage simply stood out of the carriage, let the sun shine on himself, smiled and waved to the people.
While I feel sad, I am also extremely proud!
Unexpectedly, as a diaosi in my previous life, I had not done many things in my life.
How could he not be excited to travel through time in this life and be thanked by the people?
What's more, the people at this time were indeed too simple and simple.
As long as you give them a little kindness, they will always remember it in their hearts.
From ancient times to the present, those high-ranking officials have always looked down upon these poor people, but they did not know that these people promoted every change in society.
If those in power can allow these people to live, how can they not support you?
As people were kneeling down one after another on both sides of the street, Yang Fan and his party had to slow down slightly.
Chen Xueli, Quan Wanji and his entourage, who were sitting in the carriage behind, were shocked in their hearts.
In all dynasties, how many people have been as deeply supported by the people as Yang Fan?
Even His Majesty Li Er, who initiated the Zhenguan rule, does not have as high a reputation among the people as the governor in front of him, right?
At the beginning, I still didn’t understand Yang Fan’s various unreasonable policies.
Now they are somewhat fortunate to be able to personally participate in such reforms.
As long as they can continue to persevere, people like them will surely be famous throughout the ages.
Pei Xingjian, Di Renjie and other young people looked at Yang Fan with eyes full of admiration.
This is their great governor. How lucky is it to follow such a person?
Who doesn’t have vanity?
As an official, it is the greatest affirmation to be recognized by the people under his rule.
Xi Junmai and Wang Xiaojie led a group of guards on tall horses to clear the way ahead.
Listening to the screams of the people, the two heads were raised even higher.
This is the person they follow. Being able to serve such a person is the glory of their life.
Xiao Yu, Jiang Hongfei and other leaders of the major aristocratic families who were invited were directly shocked by this scene.
I didn't expect that Yang Fan had already won the hearts of the people after only being here for a few months. It was simply terrifying.
You must know that these Jiangnan nobles have been running Jiangnan for hundreds of years, and these common people have no such sense of identity.
They knew very well that from this moment on, Jiangnan was no longer the Jiangnan of their Jiangnan gentry, but was decided by the glorious Grand Governor in front of them.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but sigh, it was indeed the waves behind the Yangtze River that pushed the waves ahead.
From now on, they Jiangnan nobles must either obey the jurisdiction honestly or move away from Jiangnan. There is no third way.
Only then did Xiao Yu want to understand why Yang Fan invited them over with such fanfare.
On the surface it was for the move-in ceremony of the new city, but in the final analysis it was for them to express their attitude.
Xiao Yu knew that if he didn't make a statement today, it would be impossible.
Since there is no room for resistance and Yang Fan is his sister's godson, Xiao Yu plans to help him again.
Turning to look at Jiang Hongfei, Xiao Yu asked: "I heard that the houses in Xincheng are well built. I wonder if Hongfei has any plans to buy them?"
Jiang Hongfei was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion: "Mr. Xiao, aren't we here to watch the ceremony? Why are we talking about buying a house? Besides, this place is not close to our ancestral home. Wouldn't it be a waste to buy a house here?"
Xiao Yu did not explain, but continued: "The ancestral land is guarded by other tribesmen, so it would be good to send some young talents over!" Lan
Jiang Hongfei can become the head of the family, so he is certainly not a stupid person.
Xiao Yu made it so clear, how could he not understand.
Buying a house here and moving the young children here would not put his family in the hands of Yang Fan.
After a moment of reflection, Jiang Hongfei understood Yang Fan's plan this time.
This time Yang Fan invited all the people from the aristocratic families over with great fanfare. It was not as simple as watching a ceremony, but a Hongmen Banquet.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hongfei smiled bitterly and said, "With Mr. Xiao by my side, we are no longer alone!"
When the family heads next to them heard this, their hearts suddenly became enlightened, but at this time their hearts were full of bitterness.
It seems that being chopped down by Yang Fan today is unavoidable.
Under the scorching sun, Yang Fan and his party walked through the flat concrete streets and arrived at the tall Dudu Mansion.
This Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is 28 stories high. In the eyes of the ancients, this house reached straight into the sky, which was really spectacular.
Originally, Yang Fan wanted to build the Governor's Mansion into the future Pearl Tower.
Unfortunately, the technology is limited and we dare not build it too high.
Looking to both sides from Dadufu Square, in addition to the streets extending in all directions, there are neat rows of buildings on both sides.
Both the people accompanying him and the people who came to visit were all dumbfounded.
In the past, except for workers, it was difficult for outsiders to get a full view of the place.
Nowadays, these neat and uniform houses have directly subverted everyone's three views.
However, this also made everyone more curious.
In the huge square, tens of thousands of people were already standing under the scorching sun, waiting for the lottery ceremony for the house.
Although you have to pay back a certain amount of money every month after buying a house, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, this small amount of money will not be a problem at all.
What's more, such a spacious and bright house is like a fairyland. Who wouldn't want to have such a house?
The people who came to watch the ceremony this time were all hoping to get a house.
Looking at this group of expectant people, Yang Fan smiled.
Except for office buildings, the houses in the new city are not the high-rise buildings of later generations, but are built with an area of about 80 square meters, one for each household.
Although this would occupy a large area, Yang Fan didn't care at all.
After all, this is not the future of population explosion.
Yang Fan's plan is to build this city into a city that can accommodate a population of about 5 million.
Such a large-scale urban planning is enough to meet the needs of hundreds of years.
You must know that the huge city of Chang'an only accommodates more than 1 million people.
Moreover, Yang Fan does not intend to make money from these ordinary people's houses, but only sells them at cost price.
Therefore, it does not pose a big burden to the people at all.
The check-in ceremony in the new city was very simple. Yang Fan just performed the opening ceremony, and Pei Xingjian and others were responsible for the rest of the drawing of lots.
The reason why Yang Fan made the event so huge this time was because he focused on those fat and aristocratic families.
After saying the opening speech, Yang Fan walked towards the people from various aristocratic families with a smile on his face.
These are all the God of Wealth!
Seeing Yang Fan, Xiao Yu, the leader of a Jiangnan family, stood up and joked: "The Governor is really generous. These houses are really novel. I wonder if I can buy one." Lan
"Yes, yes, Grand Governor, we all want to do something!"
For a time, many people from aristocratic families expressed their opinions one after another, and it was obvious that a consensus had been reached.
Speaking of which, although the styles of these houses are relatively novel, they are not actually attractive to people from Xiao Yu and other aristocratic families.
After all, these houses are too small and not suitable for large families to live in.
Of course, the reason for deliberately proposing to buy a house is just a rhetoric.
Buying a house is fake, giving money is real.
Although not all the heads of the major aristocratic families came in person this time, they all sent important members of the family to come, which is enough to show that they attach great importance to Yang Fan.
It’s impossible not to pay attention to it!
Everyone knew that Yang Fan was ruthless towards families who disobeyed discipline. If they didn't send someone to come, no one would be sure.
If in the past, they united together to encourage the people to resist, but now the people don't play with them, who dares to move?
Therefore, after everyone guessed Yang Fan's thoughts, they naturally expressed their opinions quickly
Who doesn't know that Yang Fan is a stick who can take soft things but not hard ones.
If the Grand Governor is offended, he may send troops to destroy the family tomorrow.
It is definitely a wise move to make Yang Fan happy and make friends with the governor.
In the eyes of these aristocratic families, anything that can be solved with money is not a problem!
Seeing that everyone was so understanding, Yang Fan smiled cheerfully and said: "Thank you all for coming to support me. I am grateful to you all, but how can these houses be worthy of your status?"
"Since everyone is interested, you might as well go and see the villa I have prepared for you. Moreover, as long as you buy the villa, your family can form a caravan of no more than 100 people to follow my ship to participate in overseas trade."
In Yang Fan's opinion, a big stick and a jujube is the best way to deal with things.
Hearing Yang Fan's words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but light up.
No one really cares about that 'villa'.
If you can get a quota to participate in overseas trade, it will definitely be worth the money.阑
The reason why people opposed the imperial court's control of Jiangnan was that they were afraid that the imperial court would monopolize their overseas trade channels.
Now that Yang Fan actually took the initiative to show his kindness, of course they would not be ungrateful.
Of course, Yang Fan wouldn't mind the participation of these aristocratic families.
The overseas market is so huge that even if the entire world's aristocratic families participate, they simply won't be able to satisfy it.
As long as these aristocratic families behave themselves, Yang Fan doesn't mind letting them get a piece of the pie.
Xiao Yu did not expect that there would be an unexpected surprise. He first expressed his position: "The Governor said so. I really want to see what kind of house can get such praise. Our Xiao family has decided to reserve one first."
As expected, Xiao Yu was a veteran. Xiao Yu didn’t mention the cooperation at all, and didn’t ask how much it would cost. He directly booked a house to express his attitude.
"Thank you so much, Lord Song, for your trust. I will definitely not disappoint you." Yang Fan smiled and nodded to express his gratitude.
To a certain extent, Xiao Yu was directly supporting Yang Fan.
"The Governor, Jiang Hongfei from Jiangning County also wants to order a set. Please grant the Governor's approval."
Jiang Hongfei naturally followed in the footsteps of the Xiao family and hurried up to join in the fun.
Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Yang Fan put a smile on his face and said affectionately: "Master Jiang has his heart. Thank you for your respect. How dare I deny it..."
Hearing this, Jiang Hongfei smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face spread.
"The great governor, the younger one is from Yangzhou..." Lan
"The chief governor, the younger one belongs to the Huang family..."
The greetings and smiling faces kept the smile on Yang Fan's face.
These are all wealthy Jiangnan families.
Of course Yang Fan is proud to be able to make these aloof and aloof wealthy people lower their dignity and come to praise him.
As long as these guys move the main members of the family here, Yang Fan is not afraid that these people can turn the world upside down.
Yang Fan dealt with it with a smile, feeling extremely happy.
Since these aristocratic families are all showing their heads to be slaughtered, of course Yang Fan will not be polite.
The more he thought about it, the happier he became. Yang Fan said with a smile: "Since everyone trusts me, let's go and look at the house together. Of course, anyone present, no matter who is interested in buying it, can come with me to look at it.
"
With that said, Yang Fan led a group of aristocratic and wealthy families towards the villa.
The Four Seasons Garden Villa was built specifically for these "noble" aristocratic families and wealthy households by Yang Fan.
Arriving in front of the Four Seasons Garden Villa, Yang Fan waved his hand and asked the guards to come forward and open the door of the villa.
After its completion, the Four Seasons Garden Villa was unveiled to outsiders for the first time.
As the door slowly opened, a beautiful picture was displayed in front of everyone.
For a time, everyone was amazed!
This villa area has dense vegetation and spacious bluestone roads that look spotless.
Tall trees stand on both sides, as if blocking the scorching sun from the sky.
Under the tree are some flowers that have just been transplanted. It is the flowering season at this time, and bursts of fragrant fragrance are coming to your nose. The colorful flowers are so beautiful that you are intoxicated!
After walking for a while, the white walls and villas appeared in front of everyone.
These villas are not crowded, but are separated by tens of meters, as if forming an independent space.
Inside the villa, the buildings are well-proportioned according to the terrain, and the layout is unique.
The spacious villa and the exquisite courtyard inside look picturesque in the sunshine.
Every villa here is simply more beautiful than the emperor's palace.
The wealthy family, who originally planned to spend money to ward off disasters, were immediately conquered by the beautiful and picturesque villa in front of them.
Every one of them had red eyes, wishing they could all be their own.
Yang Fan led everyone to watch and introduced: "Everyone, please come with me. I will introduce the facilities inside."
With that said, he walked into the villa on the side.
The villas in these areas are very uniquely decorated.
In order to separate the residences of servants and guards from those of the master, each area is divided into very fine sections.
The front one is the guard's residence, and the left and right sides are the servants' residence.
The owner's villa is behind the center. Each room has a bathroom and toilet, and a fully automatic running water system, which makes everyone dumbfounded.
Returning to the main hall of the villa, the large living room is spacious and bright, and the floor is spotlessly clean.
Yang Fan glanced around and said: "Everyone has seen the houses here. Although they have just been built, they have complete facilities and a beautiful environment. The garden-style layout can make people living here feel close to nature, and there are
The elegant and noble luxury is a perfect match for your status. Buy it early and get it early, it will definitely be worth your money."
Yang Fan directly advertised.
As he spoke, he waved to Di Renjie.
The little fat man immediately ordered someone to carry out a huge model and place it in front of everyone.
This is?
Everyone craned their necks to look over, and they were all surprised.
It turns out that this is a reduced model, with houses and roads showing the entire villa area in front of everyone in the most intuitive way.
At this time, everyone had an impulse and wanted to buy it immediately.
Being able to own a villa in such a picturesque place is simply a status symbol.
I originally thought that Yang Fan would only kill people, but suddenly I realized that Yang Fan was not that hateful.
Spending money to buy such a house and getting the opportunity to cooperate is simply worth it.
Some people from aristocratic families who were dissatisfied with Yang Fan's "scheming" finally stopped complaining.
Suddenly, someone asked: "Grand Governor, I wonder how much the houses here cost?"
This person has asked many people's thoughts. After all, these villas are too luxurious.
Of course, these people are mainly businessmen who came together.
As for those aristocratic families that have been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for hundreds of thousands of years, they don't care at all about the price of housing.
They just want an opportunity to cooperate with Yang Fan and don't care how much it costs.
I was planning on being wronged by Yang Fan, but I was already very satisfied when I saw how beautiful the villa was.
No matter how expensive it is, can it be more expensive than Chang'an City?
Besides, everyone is a wealthy person who is not short of money anyway.
Yang Fan sat still, and this time Di Renjie stood up to explain.
After all, he is also the governor of a party, and he bargains like a profiteer, which is really a loss of status.
During this period of time, Di Renjie had already experienced that he was not at all cautious when facing the heads of so many aristocratic families.
However, seeing the disdainful looks in the eyes of this group of aristocratic families, Di Renjie couldn't help but mourn a minute's silence for these people.
When he first heard Yang Fan's pricing, he thought he had heard it wrong. He had to confirm it several times before he could believe it.
"Ahem, you have all seen that the Four Seasons Garden Villa is in a very good location. Not only can you view the sea, but it is also very close to the Governor's Mansion. Of course, these villas are divided into three grades according to their area and luxury decoration. You can choose according to your preference.
Choose different categories according to your needs.”
"What can be guaranteed is that no matter which type of house you buy, it will definitely be worth the money, and those who want to cooperate with Dadu in overseas business will have an opportunity to cooperate."
"Our Grand Governor has said that you are all prominent people, so of course you should live in the best possible place. Therefore, we spent a lot of money to build these houses."
"Of course, noble things are naturally more valuable. As long as people are willing to buy them, it doesn't matter if they don't have enough money. We can accept installment payments."
"Our Grand Governor has unlimited trust in you. We don't need to pay it all in one lump sum. We only need to sign a contract and you can make payments on a monthly or quarterly basis. Once the contract is established, we will repay according to the contract time."
"In addition, after signing the contract, we will help with the property deed certificate and various follow-up matters, so that no one will be bullied, regardless of age."
Hearing this, everyone was moved and praised Yang Fan for his benevolence and righteousness, after all, he trusted them so much.
Many people even boast that they don’t need to pay in installments and can just pay it off in one lump sum.
However, a cunning person like Xiao Yu discovered a problem.
If the price is not particularly expensive, why would Di Renjie recommend installment payment?
What's more, the owner of Huating County said a lot of good things, but he didn't seem to mention the price of the house at all!
However, there are a few sentences that reveal a little bit of information, such as "Noble things are naturally valuable...even if the money is not enough..." and so on.
What a joke!
Even if the buyers present are not wealthy families, they are also businessmen from various places.
Although the houses are beautiful and vary in size, they are definitely affordable based on the house prices in Chang'an City.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but have an absurd idea. Are the housing prices here more expensive than Chang'an City?
Of course, not everyone has Xiao Yu's discerning eye.
I saw a fat middle-aged man, Niu Pi, cupping his hands and saying: "I am Yang Tianyi from Wuxian County. I like the houses here very much. I want to buy five units. I just need to tell you a number and I will sign the contract here."
.”
Di Renjie looked at Yang Fan and said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, you are really happy. I wonder which type of villa you plan to buy. The first type of villa only costs 180,000 yuan, the second type of villa only costs 120,000 yuan, and the third type of villa only costs 120,000 yuan.
100,000 yuan, there are only nine villas of the first type, buy early and get it early!”
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
A set of 180,000 yuan?
Xiao Yu sighed inwardly and showed an expression of surprise.
What a pity, why do you feel so unhappy?
Although he planned to be killed by Yang Fan, he never thought that Yang Fan would be so shameless.
Looking at the shocked expressions of everyone, Yang Fan could certainly understand.
You must know that a fifth-rank official in the Tang Dynasty was only paid about 5 guan yuan a month, which is equivalent to 5,000 to 6,000 yuan in later generations.
A house worth 180,000 yuan is equivalent to 1.8 billion in future generations.
Even if everyone present has a net worth of more than 200,000 guan, 180,000 guan in cash is too scary!
However, Yang Fan does not intend to change his mind. If these families can inherit the legacy for eighteen hundred years, it will definitely be worth every penny.
After all, a first-class villa has an area of more than 20 acres, and selling land in later generations will cost more than this.
Although in ancient times the people were sparse and the land was vast, everyone would think it was expensive, but I also gave them a chance to cooperate.
If you manage it seriously, you will be able to make a lot of money.
Yang Tianyi swallowed hard and asked hesitantly: "One hundred and eighty thousand...guan?"
He thought he had an auditory hallucination and misheard "文" as "Guan". Otherwise, how could there be such an outrageous price?
The others also looked at Yang Fan with their mouths wide open, obviously wanting to confirm whether Di Renjie had made a mistake.
Yang Fan didn't care about this, he looked solemn and said angrily: "What? Do you think I will cheat you because this house is worth this price?"
Yang Tianyi grimaced: "I don't dare!"
But my heart was filled with confusion.
Isn’t this a trap?
Twenty thousand guan can build a huge palace, 180,000 guan... can almost be built with gold.
