Fight the Giants Chapter 396

Seeing Ji Chuyi jumping up and down, looking anxious, and wanting to get closer to the construction site to find his father, Huo Xi gestured to Tayue with his eyes, and arrested him.

"Now the construction site is in full swing, you ran over to delay the work, want to be beaten?"

"I want to find my dad."

Carefully glanced at Huo Xi, for fear that Huo Xi would get angry.

"Can you find your father by searching this way? By the time you find it, the foreman's whip may have beaten you half to death."

Now the inner and outer city walls are being repaired. There are more than a dozen gates and moats.

"Then how to find it?"

Qiu Dazhuang couldn't bear it. Seeing that he was a child, only his father loved him, so he gave him advice.

"When they finish work, you find their residences and ask them one by one. The craftsmen and peasants in various construction sites are all together, and now most of them live in shacks near the construction site. You just go and ask them one by one."

"But it's dark on the day after work."

Ji Chuyi didn't want to wait, so he rubbed his feet back and forth on the ground.

Huo Xi gave him a fixed look, then sighed: "I'll teach you a trick."

"Speak quickly, master!" Ji Chuyi looked at her with burning eyes.

Huo Xi gave him advice: "If you are courageous and not afraid of being beaten, just run from construction site to construction site, not far or near, and call your father's name. If your father is among them, he will definitely respond to you. If the foreman rushes You, you just run."

Master, this is a good idea!

"Yeah!" Chuyi nodded repeatedly, with little stars in his eyes, eager to try.

Before Huo Xi could react, he trotted two steps and put his hands to his lips: "Ji Fengshi! Ji Fengshi! Dad!"

Whoops, the loud voice startled Huo Xi.

Seeing everyone on the construction site stop what they were doing and look back at them, Huo Xina was embarrassed.

I also don't want to run from one construction site to another like him. Seeing that he refused to go with them, she told him a few words.

"Be smart, don't be caught by Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zheng again. Remember the place and go back?"

"I'll run if I'm caught. I have a good nose, I can avoid people, and I remember where we live, so I can find it."

Ji Chuyi wants to find his father now, and let his father be with him, sell himself to his master, have food to eat, a bed to sleep in, clothes to wear, and enough to eat.

Oops, I forgot he still has this skill.

Let him go out alone as a kid, I am a little worried, but now I can't tell who will follow him.

"Go back if you can't find anyone, or go to the shop to find the shopkeepers, and ask him to call a guy to follow you, remember?" Huo Xi told him a few more words.

"Remember. Don't worry, master, I can do it alone."

Seeing him waving at him, he rushed to the other side of the construction site, shouted, and hurriedly took Qiu Dazhuang and Tayue away. This feeling of being the focus is not very pleasant.

Huo Xi wanted to buy some more property in Beiping, so he wandered around the city for a long time.

Since Emperor Yongkang ascended the throne, he has taken extra care of his own kingdom. Since two years ago, 20,000 households have been successively relocated from Taiyuan and other places to Wanping and Daxing counties in Shuntian Prefecture.

Now building cities and building temples, a large number of civilian craftsmen have been recruited. In the future, if these civilian craftsmen see that there is work to do, there is a steady stream of income, and they can survive, they will definitely stay here consciously.

The population that has been lost for decades will slowly come back.

But if you want to attract people, you can't keep these peasants and craftsmen living in shacks. It's okay in summer, you can make up for everything, but what about winter?

So Shuntian Mansion built a lot of private houses in Beiping City to rent them out to these craftsmen.

According to the degree of prosperity of the inner and outer cities, they are divided into large houses, medium houses and small houses.

"Dafang" is in the inner city, built near Bei'anmen, Xuanwumen, Haizi Bridge, Bell and Drum Tower. According to the impression in Huo Xi's memory, it was a well-to-do area in the second ring road of Beiping, where the big bosses lived.

"Small houses" are built near Andingmen, Deshengmen, Xizhimen and Fuchengmen, outside the second ring road.

There is another type called "middle house", which is built in Xizhimen, and the prosperity level is between the two.

Of course, don't even think about it within the first ring road. It's the imperial palace, the forbidden city, and the mansions of some royal relatives, civil and military officials, and craftsmen can't afford to live there.

Now Huo Xi wants to buy a property, and has no plan to look elsewhere. Just stare at the houses in the first ring. If there is no suitable one in the first ring, look for it in the second ring.

Her five-entry mansion and three shops are also within the inner city ring. Now, taking advantage of the fact that the capital has not been moved yet, and the population is not large, more property should be purchased in the first ring road. It will also be a good shot in the future.

And outside the inner city, the large, medium and small houses built by the imperial court for these craftsmen are not for them to live in vain.

According to Qiu Dazhuang's introduction, the rent is paid every three months, and each large room is paid about 6 yuan, so the monthly rent is about 200 yuan. The monthly rent for a medium room is about 150 Wen, and that for a small room is 100 Wen per room.

The current recruits, the river workers are said to be paid about one tael a month, and the bricklayers, carpenters, and other skilled craftsmen can get more than one tael or five taels.

Based on this calculation, if you work in Beiping and rent a house to live in, the rent accounts for about 10-20% of your income.

It's similar to Huo Xi's soul of working as a worker in his previous life. If you want to live well, rent accounts for at least 20% to 30% of your monthly income.

So this kind of government low-rent housing appeared early. Big cities want to attract and retain talents, so they have to think of various ways?

Huo Xi followed Qiu Dazhuang to look at the houses all the way, and had a general understanding of the house prices in each area.

Nowadays in Beiping City, in some parts of the inner city, it is enough to buy a house with three or four rooms without a yard, forty or fifty taels of silver is enough.

With a yard, four or five houses can be bought for six or seventy taels.

The house needs to be bought, but the utilization rate is not high if it is left in vain, and he does not plan to ask for more in other locations, so Huo Xi plans to focus on buying in the inner city. Specially buy a big house, it will be easy to resell in the future.

Which official status is not a family member? The house is too small to live in.

In addition, I plan to buy more shops and buy more Zhuangzi fields in the suburbs of the city. Money begets money, and only when money is used can assets be revitalized.

After two days of shopping in the city, I bought four shops on the main street, fifteen shops on the second main street, and a piece of land in the direction of Chaoyangmen to Beidongzhimen.

This place used to be a commercial street selling the four treasures of the study. Now the imperial city is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the style of writing is also flourishing in the south of the Yangtze River, so this place has been abandoned.

A street is now full of ruins.

Qiu Dazhuang was a little puzzled by her big handwriting, and kept sneaking glances at her.

The main house in front of me bought a dozen big houses with three entrances, five entrances and seven entrances, and a lot of shops on the main street. However, don't throw away money like this. Why buy this abandoned street with mixed shantytowns?

Are you too young and naive, or are you confused. But the master didn't listen to him.

Qiu Dazhuang frowned all the way.

Huo Xi didn't have time to explain to him. Take Tayue to Shuntian Mansion Yamen, get a red deed, and pay the deed tax.

The documents handled by her were eager to confess her.

Which aristocratic family is this, who bought so many properties with money? Because of the construction of the city in Beiping, the government officials wished that a penny would be broken into two halves, and their eyes gleamed green when they saw the silver.

Why does the emperor plan to move to the rich households in the south of the Yangtze River? It's not that they want to take their money.

As far as he is concerned, he can't wait to capture the wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River and ask them to buy more properties in Beiping to fill up the treasury.

Finally met someone who was taken advantage of today... No, it's your lord, so how can we let him go? Still can't squeeze hard?

Laughing is called flattery, and that is called enthusiasm.

"Young master, look, there are many excellent fields and villages near Beiping City, would you like to take a look?"
