Even Zhou Zhongjun expressed that he wanted to become an acupuncturist or something. [Full text reading] ∈∽∈∽, the atmosphere is relaxed: a group of people feel that they can finally settle down in Lingao.
"We men can finally gain a foothold in Nanbao." Huang Zhen sighed, took off his uniform hat, dusted off the dust, and put it on the table, "I have been traveling around for decades, but I didn't expect this thief. The ground is so difficult to conquer, it’s the number one hard ground!”
No one knew about his "adventure" today. Song Shengying thought he was a little discouraged after running around for many days, so he comforted him with some words such as "A man can bend and stretch".
Because Zhou Zhongjun often went out and spent money lavishly, Huang Zhen was afraid of causing any trouble, so he once again told him not to go out without anything, and to say hello to him in advance if he wanted to go out. After speaking, he glared at Zhou Zhongjun a few more times - Zhou Zhongjun had suffered a small loss and knew that he was wronged, so he had no choice but to listen.
Huang Zhen arranged this matter, but found that the project funds were running out - the renovation was "all-inclusive" and the bill was settled once a week. After paying for this week's project, Shopkeeper Huang found that there was not much left in the one thousand yuan circulation coupon. The new money has not yet arrived. This puts the team into a new crisis.
It is difficult to move without money, and this is true everywhere. Huang Zhen has seven or eight people on hand and a half-finished stall. Sima Qiudao left like a crane, without even a message - Sima Qiudao was his contact person with "Seventh Master", and without Qiye's secret support, he had no peace of mind at all.
After waiting impatiently for several days, Sima Qiudao finally showed up. It turns out that he has been "looking for a job" in the past few days, and now works in a local product company under the Ministry of Commerce - specifically a "purchasing", responsible for the acquisition of local specialties. In this way, he can often travel to and from Lingao County openly.
Because Sima Qiudao refused to shave his head and purify himself. So he can only be regarded as a "temporary worker". Now that I have found a job, I returned to Nanbao.
Sima Qiudao brought the activity funds handed over by Master Qi. And brought new news: Zhuo Yifan and others have landed in Qiongshan County and are heading to Lingao.
What to do specifically in Lingao. Only Zhuo Yifan knows. However, judging from the fact that they had to try to lurk from the beginning, this operation must be quite difficult and would require a lot of time to wait for the opportunity.
However, there were more than twenty people in this group, and Huang Zhen was immediately in trouble. Huang Zhen complained secretly. Even if he opened this shop, he felt that seven or eight people were a bit too much. Now more than 20 people are coming at once, how to arrange them? This accommodation is not easy to arrange. Nanbao is better. If you want to settle down in Dongmen City and Bopu, the rent alone is a big sum - not to mention that you may not be able to rent one. The housing shortage in Lingao is quite serious.
Let’s not talk about the house. The big problem is what kind of identity such people will live in. The household registration management in Lingao is extremely tight. How can a group of men, women, old and young apply for household registration?
Sima Qiudao said: "It doesn't matter. Master Qi said that they have their own way. We don't need to intervene."
"The thieves have set up traps all over here..."
"It won't be in the way." Sima Qiudao said confidently, "Master Qi came up with a plan for them. Since there are so many people, it's better to come in openly. On the contrary, it won't be in the way."
"Really?" Huang Zhen was a little confused. But since the elders have decided so, it would be inappropriate for him to say more.
Dongmen City Nanwutiao. On this road at the junction of urban and suburban areas, which is full of wasteland and construction sites, a large group of carriages and horses arrived on this day.
This team of chariots and horses is quite large. Leading the way was a two-wheeled Dongfeng carriage, followed by four four-wheeled red flag carriages. Then came three more four-wheeled wagons, piled high and covered tightly with tarps. Finally, another hansom.
A fleet of this size. If it were one or two years ago, it would definitely attract everyone's attention. However, in the past six months, such fleets have often appeared on the streets. Their destinations are often suburban areas outside Wutiao, Dongmen City.
In late spring, the weather is already a bit hot in Lingao. On both sides of the newly opened road, the street trees are still young and there is no shade. On the contrary, all kinds of flowers and trees planted are already in full bloom, and the flowers are blooming all the way, just like in a painting.
The wheels of the convoy rolled over the cinder road and stopped in front of a compound in Nanwutiao.
In an area full of buildings, this traditional-style building stands out. From its brand new tiles and snow-white walls, you can tell that this house was built not long ago.
A huge black-and-gold signboard hangs at the door: "Qiong'an Inn". This is the largest traditional inn in Lingao.
In the past few years, chaos has occurred frequently in the Central Plains. Not only are rogue bandits rampant, but civil convulsions are becoming more frequent every day, and the roads are uneasy. The wealthy and powerful people in the local area built villages and regiments to protect themselves. Ordinary small and medium-sized landowners would hardly be able to gain a foothold in the countryside if they did not take refuge in the powerful.
Even when we moved to the county town, it gradually became unsafe. As a result, many families sold their property and moved to the peaceful and prosperous "blessed land" of Jiangnan to "escape the hustle and bustle".
Lingao County, Qiongzhou Prefecture, far away in Guangdong, has now become one of the candidate places for rich people to "escape". Rumors of Lingao's prosperity, peace, and people living and working in peace and contentment have spread to some extent across the mainland. Rich people know more about Lingao because they have access to "Australian goods".
Although there are not many Lao Cai who know and have the courage to go to Lingao, it is still a lot for a remote place like Lingao.
They are willing to immigrate to Lingao, and the civil affairs department has no objection - it turns out that immigrants have always been welcome. What's more, these rich people hold a lot of money in their hands, and settling down in Lingao can effectively stimulate consumption. Besides, the Senate also needed more gold and silver hard currency to balance the "balance of payments."
"Qiong'an Inn" came into being. The inn was opened by Li Sunqian, a member of the Lingao Consultative Bureau and the former "dung tyrant". After Li Sunqian voluntarily handed over the ownership of the dung section in Lingao County, he began to invest in industry under the guidance of the Ministry of Commerce.
At first, the Li family only invested in some state-owned enterprises of the Senate. Gradually, the Li family saw the potential of real estate and developed real estate in the Dongmen City area.
Big houses on the mainland crossed the sea to Lingao one after another. Li Sunqian saw this opportunity and bought a lot of land in the Nanwutiao area. He asked Lingao Construction Corporation to design and build "luxury residences" specifically for sale to these people.
It is said to be a "luxury mansion", but it is not actually a traditional building. It just maintains the style of traditional architecture in terms of architectural features, and the internal structure is built in accordance with modern architectural concepts. It is much better than traditional buildings in terms of comfort and land utilization.
However, after all, Li Sunqian is a large indigenous family, and he has a much clearer understanding of the living preferences, family members' status, and living habits of his own kind than the elders. Therefore, the "luxury mansions" he developed were very popular with these wealthy households, and the first batch of them were sold out soon after they were completed. While the second batch was still under construction, Li Xiaopeng, the young master of the Li family, learned how to "sell off-the-plan property" without any teacher, and sold the "luxury house" that was still under construction to a wealthy family from across the sea.
The money has been collected, but the house is still being repaired. With a large family and countless luggage, we have to find a place to put them first. Li Xiaopeng had an idea and came up with the idea of building a "transitional house": building an "inn" specifically for his clients.
He has received many guests, and he is probably a little worried when he knows that these big businessmen are coming across the sea. In order for them to feel at ease, it is necessary to provide a living environment similar to their old residence.
So the Li family invested in building this "Qiong'an Inn". Generally speaking, it is the architecture of Ming Dynasty and the equipment of Australia. On the premise of ensuring the atmosphere, guests can fully experience the comfort of the "Australian" lifestyle.
The inn has been a booming business since it opened. For the wealthy people who came across the sea, the "Australian" lifestyle has not affected them yet. Even if it is the number one "state guesthouse" in Dongmen City like the Commercial House, they feel that the layout is too stingy. , there is not even a yard, and there is no way to distinguish the upper room from the lower room - there is no residence for the servants to accommodate their slaves.
Qiong'an Inn took all these into consideration when it was built. The accommodation is comfortable and the service is appropriate. Therefore, even though it costs a lot to stay for one night, most investment immigrants choose to settle here.
The motorcade stopped in the square in front of the screen wall, and the guys who had already received the news and were waiting at the door of the store came to greet them. Those who helped people and those who unloaded luggage were very busy.
The ground was swept clean, and several trolleys were waiting aside for carrying luggage.
From the last carriage, a passenger jumped out briskly. He was wearing a fine silk blouse and gauze scarf, holding a colorful copper-colored sword in one hand. He patted the dust on his body with the other hand, looked up at the sky, and said to himself: "The weather here is really hot. ! It will be better if it rains better!"
A store clerk stepped forward with a smile and was about to take the sword. The book boy who got off the car first had already taken the sword. The book boy was young, with white lips and red teeth, and he looked handsome. They are the beautiful children that rich families love to raise.
The guys are all experienced veterans, and they know that the sword is valuable when they see that they can't please them. He quickly smiled and said: "We have summer all year round here in Lingao, and it's not too cold even in winter. It's just that we don't like rain in spring, but in summer it rains non-stop, and when it rains, it's unbearable. Sir, Please come in. He couldn't help but look at the guest secretly.
This young scholar is about 20 years old, in his prime of life. He looks full of energy and vitality. Although he is dressed like a scholar, his skin is bronze. His eyebrows are long and his mane is long, his eyes are like bright stars. His tightly pursed lips showed that he didn't like to talk nonsense. The chin is slightly protruding, showing a strong character. The facial features are slightly delicate but still have the strength of a man. (To be continued...) u
