They originally thought that their old house on a rotten land was worthless. These wealthy businessmen could give fifty yuan, which would burn incense in their ancestors' graves. However, they did not expect that in less than half a year, they would be severely slapped in the face by their own short-sightedness.
They have watched their land grow from a few acres per acre to a hundred times. If they had not sold it at that time, it would have been equivalent to holding hundreds of oceans. It can be said that they are suffering but cannot express it. Then look at their persistence. The neighbors who did not sell their land already had smiles on their faces.
Some people who like to play rogue will take the land sale contract and money on the spot and go to the homes of wealthy businessmen and gentry to cause trouble.
Not to mention the number of armed guards at the homes of these gentry and landlords, even a few strong tenants could take care of them. The common people were beaten until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. They cried for a long time near the landlords' homes. Seeing that no one paid attention, they had to Ask the local parent officer for help!
In the era of the Republic of China, the government offices opened to the south. If you had a reason or no money, don't come in. Ordinary people couldn't even get into the government courtyard. Even if they did get in, they would definitely have to be kicked out by the security guards, and the political Yuan couldn't do anything about it. Tube.
First of all, these land sales contracts are not forced to buy or sell, and no one holds a knife to their necks to threaten them to sign. Even if the asking price is fifty or sixty, it is still the price negotiated by these people themselves. Since Zhou Yu is willing to make a wish, Come on, this land sale contract is naturally effective. There is no reason to have to pay for it if you sell something at a loss.
Secondly, foreign business groups were originally attracted by Xijing to build the ancient city. These land zoning information were notified to them early, just to ask them to eat more and be willing to engage in urban construction. As for the wealthy gentry and landlords, they were originally from well-known local families, and some A relative who works as a commissioner in a provincial capital is too normal. If he doesn't pay attention to the family gathering and tells it, then he will take the news to heart.
In this way, both public and private, the Xijing government should not be involved in the sale of land, and disputes among the people should naturally be handled by the people themselves.
The common people saw that the officials were not paying attention, so they had no choice but to hold their necks and show their face. They just occupied the house and refused to move. These places were all used for camps in Xijing. How could they allow the unruly people to mess around? The officers and soldiers of the Public Security Department of the provincial capital fought with guns. Pai, no matter how hard-core you are, you have to be afraid.
During this period, wealthy businessmen, unscrupulous people, and security groups fought with each other, injuring and maiming countless people. There was even an old man who was so angry that he kicked off his feet on the spot and returned to the west. Seeing these common people pestering them endlessly, the Duke of Xijing The government knew that the wealthy businessmen and gentry were doing something unreasonable, and they were afraid of delaying the important event, so they began to open up wasteland in the four corners of the ancient city and allowed these people to build their own shantytowns.
At this time, the land price in Xijing City was soaring, and the value of the houses in the city center and new areas throughout the city was soaring. It had exceeded 500 yuan. These people could never afford to buy land in the central city. There were only two ways in front of them. Either spend dozens of dollars to build another shantytown, or they can only be cleared out of the city as homeless people without a house.
Those people with a strong family background had no choice but to break their teeth and swallow blood, and obediently spent money to build another house. Although the living conditions were not good enough, at least they had a house to live in and a home in the ancient city.
Those people with poor family backgrounds are in dire straits. They have to support a large family in eating and drinking, and they certainly cannot use all of it to buy a new house. Since they cannot afford a house, they are homeless people. According to the newly released civilization regulations in the provincial capital, With the ancient city's new advocacy, they could only be cleared out of the city.
These people either go to the villages outside the city to make their own cave dwellings, or they build a shack and settle down outside the city first, and then buy a shanty house after they have saved enough money. As for when they will have money, there is no guarantee. , five years, ten years, no one can guarantee this.
These poor people did not leave their shacks outside the city until they died. They could only be rolled up with straw mats and thrown into mass graves. Some people rumored that the construction of the ancient city of Xijing was a bad idea of these provincial officials and commissioners. They had long ago The news was released to relatives and friends to keep them in the dark so that they would have no place to live and be moved away. This not only solved the problem of the poor appearance of the ancient city, but also eliminated the beggars and homeless people.
No matter what, after such a major change, the appearance of the ancient city of Xijing has taken on a new look. Most of the people who can live in these regular houses are from well-off families. As for the poor people who were defrauded of the houses, naturally no one cares about their life or death.
The old men pulling rickshaws they saw outside the city were shantytowns, and the rickshaw boys in the city were also working as coolies. Most of these Jianghuang Banner rickshaws came from the Xijing Auto Transport Company, a company run by foreigners, but they usually Cars are usually only rented and not sold.
These rickshaw drivers don't rest for a day, pedaling with all their strength until their feet are smoking. They only have only 40 yuan. In addition to paying back 15 yuan for renting the car, they also have to pay another 5 yuan to honor the rickshaw guild. The rest is For their own money, they can have a surplus of up to five yuan a month.
This kind of coolie has a high income in Xijing. As for those who have no strength, it will be so miserable!
With Xu Xiake's words, he informed everyone of the situation in Xijing City. After hearing this, everyone frowned and felt as if a big stone was weighing on their hearts.
