Vol 2 Chapter 984: New Guozijian

Early summer.
For the people in Beijing, the northwest is very far away, and it's just a conversation.
The capital is very close to Chichi, which is closely related to my life.
News in Beijing, even trivial matters, is more attractive than the far northwest.
Recently, there has been a new and major event in Beijing.
The Imperial College is moving!
Guozijian will move into a new school building in the southwest outside the city.
It is said that the Imperial College has expanded its enrollment by a thousand people, from Tongsheng to Juren, all of which are free to study.
In a few years, with the signboard of the Imperial College, you will be able to catch up with Shanhe Academy, even surpass Shanhe Academy, and once again win the title of Beijing's No. 1 Academy.
Guozijian exulted.
Although I was a little bit unwilling to move away from the old school building, I thought of a bright future and enjoyed the same treatment as Shanhe Academy. Standing on the same starting line to compete for students, I suddenly gave birth to the courage of who I am.
New school building, new atmosphere.
The Imperial College could definitely crush Shanhe College.
The people in the capital didn't care whether it was the Imperial College pressing the Shanhe Academy or the Shanhe Academy pressing the Guozijian.
They just want to watch the excitement and only care about one thing: housing prices!
"Is the house price expensive in the New Guozijian?"
"There used to be a mountain over there, not even a village. Is the newly built house occupied?"
"No one lives now, there will definitely be people living in the future. Those students who apply for the Imperial College, definitely want to rent a house nearby."
"I heard that in order to increase the housing prices there, the Wenqing Bookstore will open a branch on the Guozijian side. All books and newspapers will be issued simultaneously with the Wenqing Bookstore in Xinmin County."
"Really?"
"The Wenqing Bookstore has been reluctant to open a branch in the city for so many years, but chose to open a branch in the New Guozijian. Obviously, it is a student who really wants to make it easier for the Guozijian."
"I see, I really want to drive up the housing prices over there."
"There is no village in front, no land behind, and it is dozens of miles away from the capital and Xinmin County. Who would be willing to go to such a place! I advise you not to buy a house in the New Guozijian. I will definitely not be able to rent it out and the price will not rise. ."
"Have you noticed that the open space next to the official road is surrounded and beaten all day long. Do you know what is being repaired?"
"Not sure!"
"I want to know what I'm repairing, it's not easy, just go and see."
"It was fenced over there, and there were guards who couldn't approach it."
"It's too mysterious."
"Read the newspaper, read the newspaper, the first double-track road in Beijing will be put into use soon."
Newsboys hawked along the street.
"Child, here's a newspaper. What is a two-track road?"
"The little one didn't figure it out, but there are pictures in the newspaper."
The double-track carriage, the double-track road, is too strange.
Everyone has a sense of curiosity. Reading the introduction in the newspaper, the first double-track road in Beijing will be put into trial operation in five days.
The route is from Xinguozijian to Xinmin County, with four upper and lower stations on the way.
Horse carriages are divided into truck carriages, ordinary carriages, comfortable carriages, and luxury carriages.
The newspaper also introduced that the dual-track horse route Sihai Road Bridge and Huanyu Racecourse are jointly operated.
Test run on the first day, everyone is welcome to ride.
The full fare for an ordinary carriage only costs five cents.
boom!
"For dozens of miles, only five cents? Is there such a good thing?"
"is that a lie."
"Can you use your brain when you speak? I haven't seen the above saying that Sihai Road Bridge and Huanyu Racecourse are jointly operated. How could it be deceiving."
"Don't just stare at the ordinary carriages. Didn't you see that the full fare of the comfortable carriage is fifty cents? The full fare of the deluxe carriage is 800 cents. It's about a tael of silver to take a carriage.
"Luxury carriages are not prepared for ordinary people like you and me."
"What does the double-track carriage look like?"
"Trial operation in five days, everyone go join the fun?"
"Okay!"
...
Yan Ci recently had no thoughts and couldn't write a beautiful article. He had nothing to do all day long, and ran towards Wang Xuecheng in two days.
He asked Wang Xuecheng, "Are there many people applying for Shanhe Academy recently?"
"As usual, people come every day."
"Guozijian also faces the enrollment of students from all over the world, does it have no effect on Shanhe Academy?"
Wang Xuecheng grinned and was very proud, "As long as Shanhe College has Sanyuangong, Mr. Sun, and Mr. Zhou, the Imperial College will not be able to beat Shanhe College. Moreover, the new campus of Guozijian is so remote, it is said that it is in the mountains, and many people are discouraged. Especially. It’s those wealthy people who are worried about going to the Imperial College. They raise their heads as mountains, but lower their heads or mountains. They don’t even have a place for recreation. Where is Xinmin County bustling with everything you need. The rent is a bit more expensive.
It can be said that Xinmin County is already ahead of the entire capital in terms of rents for small-sized rental houses. It is higher than the rent in the capital.
Of course, there is a reason why the rent in Xinmin County is higher than the rent in Beijing.
Mainly because the small apartments or single rooms in the capital are mostly concentrated in the shanty towns of Nancheng, the environment is really poor.
Even if it was originally a good house, but dozens of people lived in it, the good house has become a dilapidated house over the years.
Going to Dongcheng and Xicheng, most of them are small yards with single gates, not group rents.
For the students of Guangzhou University, the rent is too expensive to bear.
It is better to rent a single room on the second floor in Xinmin County, which is convenient.
Moreover, each house in Xinmin County has its own bathroom and toilet, and they are divided into men and women.
Water is also more convenient than in the city.
The rent in Xinmin County is ahead of the capital, causing countless people to buy houses and properties in Xinmin County.
This also makes people living in Xinmin County have a sense of pride that is not found elsewhere.
Wang Xuecheng is very proud.
The New Guozijian was like a rookie in his eyes, and there was no one who could beat it.
What Guozijian and Shanhe Academy are competing for first place is all nonsense in the newspapers.
Yan Ci patted Wang Xuecheng on the shoulder, "Brother Wang, your news is out of date! Haven't read the newspaper for a few days?"
Wang Xuecheng was a little confused, "Where is my news out of date?"
Yan Ci turned over the newspaper from the previous day and pointed to the news with a picture on it, "Have you seen it, a double-track road has been built from Guozijian to Xinmin County. It will be trial run in a few days. As long as the trial run is successful, you will bow your head. It’s the mountain that raises its head, and the inconvenience of going out is all resolved. The key is that the fare is cheap and most students can afford it.
Wang Xuecheng snatched the newspaper, looking verbatim.
He was curious, "What is a two-track carriage?"
Yan Ci said: "I don't know. I heard people say that the speed is strange. It is three or four times faster than an ordinary carriage. The carriage is very large and can stand without obstacles. On the day of the trial run, would you like to ride with me? By the way, let’s take a look at how the Guozijian was built. If the popularity there is okay, before everyone knows it, let’s take action first and buy two suites and put them there."
Wang Xuecheng pointed to the newspaper, "On the day of trial operation, it is estimated that the station will be overcrowded. Can you get the tickets?"
Yan Ci smiled triumphantly, "Don't look at who you are writing for, Wenqing Bookstore, I'm afraid you won't get the ticket."
After finishing speaking, Yan Ci took out two cardboard tickets from his arms, "See, the tickets are already in hand, it will be at three quarters every hour. I heard boss Cui say that the carriage goes every quarter of an hour and you can get off in the middle. "
Wang Xuecheng grabbed the ticket and looked curiously, "I'll go!"
Yanci cheerfully, especially proud, "Prepare the money, and if appropriate, buy two houses and put them there."
Wang Xuecheng scratched his head, "Do you really think there will be popularity over there?"
Yan Ci is not sure, but he is optimistic after all, "Although it is not as popular as Xinmin County, it will definitely be a bit popular. The rent there is cheaper than Xinmin County, and Wenqing Bookstore will also open branches there, maybe a lot. Those who are shy in their pockets will move to live there."
Wang Xuecheng was persuaded and agreed to bring the money. If it feels right, buy a house with Yan Ci.
Yan Ci sighed with emotion, "Unfortunately Brother Chen and Brother Yang are not there. Should I buy two houses for them?"
"Brother Chen and Brother Yang are not what they used to be. The small buildings are definitely not in their eyes."
"You can't say that. Although the income of buying property for rent is limited, it is a profit at any rate. When you are an official, you can't say when you encounter trouble. It's not wrong to save some family business while the wind is good."
Yan Ci already had an idea in his mind.
...
A few days later.
"Double-track carriage, double-track carriage is open, go and watch the excitement!"
Newsboys yelled in the street.
After this reminder, everyone left their work and ran to the station beside the official road to watch the excitement.
Is it important to work, or to watch the excitement?
Of course it is important to watch the excitement!
Double-track carriage, what a rare thing, as a Xinmin county, you can have no money, but you must never be without knowledge.
A foreigner ran to Xinmin County and asked what is a double-track carriage?
As a native of Xinmin County, it would be shameful to be unable to answer.
It doesn't matter if you are embarrassed, it's absolutely impossible to lose the face of Xinmin County.
Everyone has the pride of being a native of Xinmin County.
A small station, a ticket hall, narrow entrances and exits, a small waiting hall, plus stops blocked by fences.
Very ordinary and simple station, but everyone looked at it with gusto.
"Eh, that's the station."
"There is a wooden fence blocking you, you have to check the ticket to get in."
"Go buy a ticket."
"I didn't see the ticket office lined up all the way outside, where you can still buy tickets. It's not too late to buy tickets tomorrow."
"Come, here, the carriage is coming."
"Look! The carriage is coming."
"It turns out that the wheels of a wagon and the rails are stuck together, so it's called a two-track wagon."
"It's really fast."
"One, two, three, four... eight horses, pulled five carriages, the carriages are so big."
"Stop it, stop it, look quickly!"
"Someone got off the car."
"Isn't that Master Hu?"
"Are those tracks made of iron? How much does it cost?"
"Why don't you steal one at night?"
"Shhh! Don't talk nonsense."
"Wooden fences can't stop people, what are you afraid of."
"Only you are smart. People in the whole world and around the world are fools. Can they not think of what you want?"
"You mean someone is patrolling?"
"Xiu wants to hit the railroad tracks. That's the Queen's wife's property. Are you going to die?"
