When Nan was racking his brains to open up financial resources in the summer, Wu Daxian Ling, the parent official of Lingao, was walking aimlessly on the street. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Although Wu Daxian Ling has been released and is no longer under house arrest, he still feels aggrieved and depressed. In the summer, as soon as Nan was successful, he set off an earth-shattering wave in Lingao, demolishing all the people's houses, saying that it was a new city to build.

You said that you would demolish the people's houses, but you also demolished the city walls of the county seat, leaving only a bare county government, which is simply unbearable. As the chief official of a county, Wu Mingjin was extremely angry, where did this put the prestige of the county government and the imperial court! But what made him even more depressed was that he didn't dare and couldn't refuse, and there seemed to be no better way to protest than to die.

It's been until now, and it's not worth it to die. Wu Mingjin chose to be out of sight, and when he had nothing to do, he changed into civilian clothes and went out from the back door of the county office, and had a "private visit to the micro-service", he had been under house arrest in the county government for many days and did not go out, but now he wants to go out for a walk and see what the county under the rule of the Ming Dynasty has become by the rebel thief Xia Nan.

The entire county has been demolished beyond recognition, and it is not at all the dilapidated scene in Wu Daxian's impression: the neat and uniform streets divide the urban area very clearly, and it is clear where the houses are and where the shops are. Walking on the flat street, there is no feeling of being one foot deep and one foot shallow, Wu Mingjin was surprised to see the road under his feet, it is not paved with stone, but it looks like gray-white lime brushed out, but it is as hard as iron, and as smooth as the surface of water.

"I don't know what kind of magic the traitor used to make this kind of pavement?" Wu Mingjin was amazed in his heart, but he spit on it in his mouth.

There are still many vacancies on both sides of the street, which are planned but not yet under construction. Walking more than 100 steps east from the back gate of the county ya, Wu Mingjin saw what the officials called "resettlement houses" -- all gray and white buildings, the material of which was as smooth and hard as the street pavement.

The biggest difference from traditional wooden buildings is that these houses are at least three storeys or more, and some are four or even five storeys. In Wu Mingjin's impression, in addition to the tower, whether it is a high-ranking official or a poor person, there are few houses with more than two floors. While marveling at the ingenuity of this "high-rise" building, he couldn't help but despise it in his heart, how could anyone live on the "tower"? Every day I have to toss up and down the stairs for half a day.

Although the roof of this type of building still retains tiles, not a single wooden column is completely visible in the main part. According to the officials, this kind of house is made of "cement" and bricks, which does not need to be made of wood as pillars and beams, and some dried bamboo chips are inserted in the middle, so it can be built quickly, and it is not afraid of water like wooden houses.

Wu Mingjin also knew that the officials were called to forcibly demolish the old houses of the people, and at that time he thought that Xia Nan was perverse and cruel to the people, but he didn't expect to build a new house for the people in the end - in any case, although this kind of house does not look beautiful, but compared to the original dilapidated house, it is much stronger, it is not invaded by wind and rain, it is strong and durable, and the people are happy to move into the new house - he doesn't understand what Xia Nan is thinking in his head, if he buys people's hearts, why do he do evil people and demolish the house first? If you want to loot the people's fat and ointment, why do you need to spend more money to build new houses?

Looking at the people coming in and out of the new house, his face was beaming, he spat a mouthful, Shengdou Xiaomin was ignorant, and he was bought after getting a little profit, where is there still the court in his heart, where is there a saint.

Leaving this "resettlement house", I walked to a place, but I saw a crowd of people and a lot of noise. Curious, he leaned over, only to see a crowd talking around a building that resembled a resettlement house, and a wooden sign was erected in front of the house, on which a notice was pasted.

His eyesight was not very good, so he got closer and read it out in a low voice: "A letter to all craftsmen in each factory: in order to solve the pain of your uprooting and separation of husband and wife, a number of houses are specially planned to be built for you to buy with low down payment and installment payments, and the specific methods are as follows......"

When they heard the news, they were skeptical, feeling that it was unreliable for the owner to sell and build a house for themselves, but they could not resist this temptation, and those who could ask for leave asked for leave to come and see this so-called "model house" -- in fact, it was a resettlement house that had not yet moved in, for the reference of the craftsmen.

They have also heard about the old houses of local residents in the county for new ones, but they never thought that such a good thing could be their turn, after all, the craftsmen are not native people, and most of them are from Guangdong.

This notice was guarded and explained, but it couldn't stand the people who asked in turn, and this person was also tired, so he just let them read the notice. However, many craftsmen can only craft and are illiterate, although they know a general idea, but they do not understand the complete content of the notice, and they always have no bottom in their hearts. At this time, I heard that someone was literate and could read the notice, and "Hula" all gathered around and said:

"Sir, are you literate? Give us a ......."

"Look at what the conditions of this notice are, is it half sold and half given?"

Wu Mingjin waved his hand and fanned the end of his nose, and the smell of sweat on the craftsmen's bodies made him a little uncomfortable. However, he was also curious about the content of this notice, so he pinched his nose and read it:

“…… There are two kinds of houses: three- and four-story buildings, each single room can accommodate a family of five, the price is 50 taels of silver, and the down payment is 5 taels; The upper and lower floors are detached and detached, with a price of 300 taels of silver, and a down payment of 30 taels to move in. For both types of houses, the balance can be paid monthly over a period of three years or five years until it is paid off. After all the payments are made, you can get the deed of mortgage from the government. ”

This design is tailored to the financial affordability and realities of the craftsmen.

The artisans under Xia Nan generally earned more than the peasants who cultivated the fields, and although the prices of the buildings and detached courtyards were more expensive than most of the houses of the time and space - the prices of the houses in the Ming Dynasty were surprisingly low - they did not need to pay in full, which was acceptable to the craftsmen, and this novel method of payment gave them the illusion that the low "down payment" made them feel that they were taking advantage of it.

Naturally, such housing prices cannot make windfall profits like the real estate industry in the old time and space, but at this stage, it can at least relieve the pressure on funds - at least installments can recover the wages and bonuses in the hands of craftsmen and reduce expenses. In addition to the textile mills, which were all women, the number of craftsmen and apprentices in the other factories had already exceeded 1,000, and the number continued to increase.
