Chapter 702: Repair the city wall

"Why did the ancestors have time to ask me for tea?"
Gu Jiu walked into the tea room with the help of the maid.
"Come on! Sit down quickly. The child will be born soon." Shaofu Jialing laughed.
Gu Jiu smiled and said, "I will be born in more than a month."
After finishing speaking, she sat down in the chair and happened to face the Shaofu Jialing.
Shaofu Jialing said cheerfully, "Originally, you were pregnant, so the old man should go to Xiaozhu to find you. However, he is too eye-catching for fear of causing criticism. I have to post and invite you out for tea."
Gu Jiu said with a smile: "I understand the concerns of our ancestors. Now who is not far away from us."
"What this says is that there should be contacts or contacts."
The weather is warm and the windows are open. Outside is the thriving Xinmin County.
In just a few years, the county seat of Xinmin County has expanded by another generation, the population has increased, and the market has become more and more lively.
As a result, many people simply moved out of the crowded shanty towns of Beijing and settled in Xinmin County.
In order to solve the housing problem, Gu Jiu delineated another piece of land to build a house similar to the second phase, which was delimited for six phases.
The price is not high, a small two-story building, enough for a family of seven or eight people.
There is also a separate kitchen, toilet and bathroom with a well.
The community is surrounded by tall courtyard walls with gates and guards. Don't worry about safety.
Such a house is the most popular among the people.
In addition to the increase in the number of people buying houses to settle, there are also many more students coming to study.
So much so that the rent has also risen.
As a result, many landlords who bought houses continued to live in shack areas in the city. The new houses were rented out to school students, and their income exceeded the income of three people.
If you have money, just buy two houses.
One is for my own family and the other is for rent.
Even the marriage market has changed accordingly.
If the man’s household registration is in the capital, and there is a building in Xinmin County, the matchmaker can crush the man’s home.
The daughters of the landlord’s house can be chosen at will.
If the man has a building in the second phase of Xinmin County, he does not have a capital account. The daughters of the landlord’s family can’t choose randomly, but the daughters of the Xiaomin’s family can choose randomly.
If there is only a registered permanent residence in Beijing, but there is no building in Xinmin County, the family will have to rent a shanty town in Beijing. Sorry, no girl wants to marry in.
Who doesn't know what the shantytowns of Beijing are like.
It is cold in winter and flooded in summer, mosquitoes, flies and mice run all over the ground.
You have to choose time and place to take a shower.
In such a big place, it is naturally a lot of trouble to take a bath.
As the pavement in Beijing is cemented, the team of cleaners has expanded and the construction of the city appearance has been promoted year by year, prompting the citizens of Beijing to start talking about hygiene.
The most important thing about hygiene is to take a bath frequently.
Especially in summer, if you wear a stinky sweat, you should wash it well.
Under the conditions of the shanty town, it is quite convenient for men to take a bath. It is a big deal to go to the inner city river and jump into the river to wash.
The woman takes a bath, so troublesome and worried that someone will peek. There was even worry that the rogue suddenly pushed in.
These can be tolerated.
The most unbearable is the smell of and urine in the yard.
Especially in the early morning, every household is busy pouring feces and urinals, it feels like, ha ha...
In addition, there are only one or two wells in a city, and there are so many people who use water, which is very inconvenient.
Some women were lazy and threw their feces and urinals directly in the corner without washing them with water. Over time, who can stand the taste?
"You can't even smell the and urine on the streets of Beijing, but the place where you live always smells of and urine. I can't live in this place."
In the shanty towns of the capital, countless women made similar shouts.
"The old Zheng's house next door, with his family making money, bought a two-story building in the newly opened phase 6 of Xinmin County. Together, there are eight bedrooms upstairs and downstairs, all of which are rented out to those who come to Beijing. Student. There is a lot of money in rent for a month."
"Old Zheng's family, every day when the city gate is opened, they go to the new house to wash clothes and bathe, cook and eat there, work there by the way, and come back until the city gate is closed at night. Here is a sleeping man. local."
"I heard people say that the old Zheng family intends to find a scholar for the girl. I don't care. In any case, I have to buy a house in Xinmin County this year. Even if I can't afford one, I will buy three or five houses. I'm fed up with the days here, the whole family sleeps in a room and pours bowls all day. On such a hot day, it takes ten and a half months to take a bath."
"After buying a house, we also learned from the old Zheng's house and used it for rent. The rent was enough to repay the loan. The kitchen, bathroom and toilet were used by our own family. The two concierges happened to live in a family."
The living conditions in Xinmin County are not necessarily so good.
But at least considering people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, it brings convenience, hygiene and tidiness to people's lives.
Who doesn't like the cleanliness of where he lives?
Who doesn't want to smell good on his body?
Houses in Xinmin County are not more expensive than those in Beijing.
But even so, not everyone can afford it.
These days, if there is a patient at home, let alone buying a house, I am afraid that eating will be a problem.
If there are scholars at home, the plan to buy a house should be postponed.
All in all, it is easy to make money and easy to spend.
The price of goods in the capital has also risen in line with housing prices.
Many foreign students come to the capital, the most difficult thing to accept is the price of the capital, which is extremely expensive.
Especially renting a house.
The high prices have made it difficult for students and countless people in the capital.
The prosperity of Xinmin County means that people have to pay higher living costs to obtain the same living conditions as in the past.
Gu Jiu picked up the teacup, which contained honey water, which he brought from home.
She took a sip, and the smell of honey was very light.
After pregnancy, Gu Jiu didn't dare to open up to eat and drink. Worried about consuming too much sugar can cause gestational diabetes.
Even honey water, a large pot of water, only put a spoonful, just taste it.
"My ancestors called me out today, not just to watch the scenery and drink tea."
The Shaofu family made a laugh, "Naturally not for tea. Some time ago, someone suggested to build a city wall in Xinmin County. You know about this."
Gu Jiu nodded, "I heard about it."
Xinmin County is a special existence in Dazhou.
The only county without city walls, the only county without agricultural land, and the only county without agricultural population.
Even the registered population is made up of 70% of out-of-town refugees and 25% of landless and bankrupt farmers in Gyeonggi.
Most of the rest are employees of Sihai Commercial Bank.
Employees of Sihai Commercial Bank are eligible for household registration in Xinmin County, as long as they have worked for five years.
It is also the only county where a county magistrate has been re-elected for three terms.
Last year, Gu Yu's term expired. According to regulations, he had to be transferred from Xinmin County.
In order to keep Gu Yu's position as the county magistrate of Xinmin County, the Huyang County lord first made a big fuss. The officials from the lower and lower ministries were miserable.
Later, the lord of Huyang went to the palace again to intercede, crying and crying very miserably.
Even the Queen Mother Xiao was persuaded by Hu Yang to intercede for her in front of Emperor Wen De.
Emperor Wende knew that all this had been in Gu Jiu's calculations, but he still had to pinch his nose to recognize it.
No matter how unwilling, he knew in his heart that Xinmin County had to rely on Gu Jiu to run it.
Gu Jiu needs someone who is trustworthy and can do things exactly according to her will.
This person is none other than Gu Yu.
Xinmin County is an important county with a large tax revenue and a large population. It can also solve the problem of refugees that the court has headaches.
For the healthy development of Xinmin County, the best way is to maintain the status quo.
Ever since, Gu Yu was re-elected as county magistrate of Xinmin County smoothly.
No matter how unconvinced, it's useless for aristocratic family members.
Shaofu Jialing said: "Your Majesty is very interested in the construction of the city wall in Xinmin County. If the disaster is not urgent, the construction of the city wall has been discussed in the DPRK. When the disaster is relieved, this matter will definitely be brought up again. Xiao Jiu Ah, what do you think? Why not talk to the old man."
Gu Jiu looked outside and smiled,
It’s not impossible to build a city wall, but the city wall will hinder the development of Xinmin County. Just like the city wall hinders the development of the capital.

"But if you don't build the city wall, how can you ensure safety in the event of a war? With hundreds of thousands of people's lives, can you just watch the enemy slaughtered?"
"The ancestors misunderstood what I meant. To protect the safety of the people, building a city wall can only be regarded as a middle policy at best."
"Do you have a good strategy?"
Gu Jiu dipped his hand in water and drew on the table.
In a few strokes, the map of Xinmin County was outlined.
No one knows exactly what Xinmin County is like than her creator.
She pointed to the map and said, "This is the county seat. This area is for various workshops. This area is the fourth and fifth phase of the real estate. This area is the academy and the other courtyard. Moving forward, a new residential area will be built here for resettlement. More migrant population.
Ask the ancestors, if you build a city wall, how long will it take to build a wall to enclose everything? I counted! It takes a full four hundred and eighty li city wall to be able to surround everything in it. "
The four hundred and eighty li city walls, this number put the Shao Fu Jia Ling down.
"The city wall of four hundred and eighty miles, is this to build the second capital?" Gu Jiu looked at Shaofu Jialing with a smile.
Shaofu Jialing stroked his beard and pointed to the county seat, "Could it be possible to just build the wall surrounding the county seat?"
"Only repair the city wall surrounding the county seat. This city wall becomes a chicken rib when it is repaired. Besides facilitating the control of the population in and out of the county seat, it has no substantial effect."
Gu Jiu unceremoniously denied the Shaofu Jialing's suggestion.
"Then what do you think?"
Gu Jiu pursed her lips and smiled, pointing to a few corners on the map, "How about setting up military camps in these places?"
Where there is a military camp, there is consumption.
In fact, Gu Jiu wanted to build a fort.
Afraid of shocking the world and causing suspicion, he didn't reveal his true thoughts.
"A military camp?"
"Beijing Daying can be divided into a group of people and stationed in these two places. Defending Xinmin County is equivalent to defending the capital. What do the ancestors think?"
