The super lord of the island

Chapter 332 331. New urban area planning plan
There are three reasons.

First, the construction cost of the new city is higher than expected. Although the selling price of 1 gold coin per household cannot fully cover the construction cost, it can make up for the labor cost;

Secondly, free things are worse than paid things. This is just natural. Buying a house with hard-earned rewards will have a sense of ritual of property rights transfer, and you will cherish it more;

Third, the selling price of 1 gold coin is an invisible threshold.

You know, the earliest batch of civilians who escaped from slavery are still living in Fengchao, including the first and second batch of immigrants, who also want to have a spacious house of their own.

So setting the selling price is the most fair.

Whoever contributes the most to the territory will be able to live in housing in the new city, and for later immigrants, they can also set an example to promote active labor.

The vacated Fengchao rooms can accommodate the residents of Beimaicun Village in the South and North, which not only improves the living environment to a certain extent, but also gives them hope to save money and wait for the next batch of community housing.

In addition, the immigrants who first came to Sunless Island have lived for two years, and a higher proportion of them have started a family. Even if they have consumption on weekdays, as long as both men and women use their own savings to pool together, it is not difficult to come up with a gold coin.

This will not only free up a large number of Fengchao rooms, but also increase the residential density in the new urban area.

It can be said to serve multiple purposes.

After the plan was decided, the vigorous construction project of the new city began.

The Ministry of Finance under the control of Mag used municipal funds to set up special incentive funds for winter projects to recruit idle labor after the autumn harvest to supplement temporary manpower for the Construction Department.

Farmers who participate in land reclamation and planting receive a fixed salary, and even if they have nothing to do in winter, they will receive a guaranteed salary. However, with the news from the city hall that new houses require silver coins to buy, most people hope to save more money so that they can buy them easily. The next new house of your own.

……

……

"What is your name?"

"Suge."

"age?"

"26."

The municipal employee responsible for recording information looked up, nodded, took out a wooden sign, and engraved Su Ge's name on the spot.

"You are in good shape. You passed the interview. The daily salary is twenty coppers. You will be paid together after the temporary work period is over. Take your work badge and report to the Construction Department tomorrow."

"Thank you."

Su Ge expressed gratitude. He knew that there were many people for this interview and the positions were limited, so not everyone could get this remuneration.

"If you want to thank me, please thank the kind lord. Not only did he build a cheap new city, but he also used municipal funds to pay extra rewards. If I had known better, I wouldn't have gone to the tavern so many times. Please forgive me, great God of Creation, I will definitely save money in the future!”

The employee looked helpless. He was a full-time earner. He would use up his salary every month and wait for the next month.

According to the salary standard of a municipal clerk, he can get a salary of 5 silver coins a month. Without bearing basic expenses such as food, drink, housing and transportation, he can save one gold coin after working hard for twenty months.

Moreover, the municipal clerk is only at the second level among the seven salary levels in Aurora Town, and is only better than an apprentice who earns a monthly salary of 3 silver coins.

The monthly salary of third-level [general workers], [agricultural workers], [municipal administrators], [lumberjacks] and other types of workers is 10 silver coins, and they can buy a house in a new district after ten months of work.

However, there are always people who cannot restrain their desire to consume and spend more or less their savings, which allows those who are prepared to seize the opportunity.

"Thank you Lord Lord."

Su Ge expressed his sincere thanks from the bottom of his heart.

He came to Sunless Island not too early, but not too late either. It was exactly one year old. At first, he thought he would have to leave, and planned to just hang around. However, he heard that residents who had no jobs after three months would have to leave. After his free meal benefits were revoked, he found a job at the Ministry of Agriculture.

Although I have some savings now, I am still half way from buying a house.

"After finishing this temporary job, plus the three months' guaranteed wages for agricultural workers in the winter, plus the savings on hand, I will be able to collect almost one gold coin and have a house. Then I can propose to sister Xiaowei..."

Yes, Su Ge's biggest wish now is to be with Xiaowei. In order to marry her, Su Ge is willing to betray himself and work hard.

Fengchao Nei

After getting off work from the city hall, Martha opened the door and returned to her own nest.

In the small single room, there is a small double bed, a four-corner wooden table for eating, a wardrobe for storing clothes, and two stools.

This is all the furniture in the room.

Even though the furniture was small and sparse, it still seemed crowded, making it difficult for two people to move around.

Fortunately, before she came back, her husband Jason had already packed a meal for two from the cafeteria, brought it home and put it on the table, covering it well with a lid.

"Haha, I came back at just the right time. There is steamed egg custard that you like to eat in the cafeteria today. I heard that it is the eggs laid by the so-called reed chickens produced in the territorial breeding farm. They are very nutritious. It took a lot of effort to grab a portion. You After a tiring day, let’s try it.”

Jason was talking nonchalantly, and opened the lid, revealing the yellow, soft, and bouncy egg custard.

"smell good."

Martha put on her shoes and immediately moved her index finger when she smelled the aroma of egg custard. She picked up the bowl and took a sip.

"Hmm! It's delicious! You should try it too."

Jason smiled and turned his head away, pushing the bowl away, "I'll forget it, it's not like I haven't eaten it before."

"Take a bite! It's really different from what we used to eat. Besides, you work in the Ministry of Agriculture and need nutrition more than me."

"Nonsense, now that there is a break in farming, I'm almost bored at home and I'm not hungry at all."

"correct."

Seeing that her husband refused to eat, Martha drank the egg custard in one gulp and mentioned what she learned at the city hall about the upcoming construction of a new city.

"What does it have to do with us? It's not like houses have never been built in the Second Ring Road, so we can't afford them." Jason sighed.

"This time is different! The lord has clearly instructed that only workers working in the municipal government are allowed to purchase it, and the price is extremely low! It only costs 1 gold shell!"

"One gold?"

Jason, who was immersed in cooking, was stunned and hesitated.

"Did you hear me wrong? It's almost the same as the house I live in now, otherwise how could it be only one gold?"

"You don't understand this. According to Master Mag, the new urban area is a specially built welfare housing. Each household has an area of ​​over [-] square meters, and the infrastructure in the community is complete, which is very convenient!"

"Then...then our savings are enough, can't we buy a bigger house?"

Jason and Martha were the first slaves to land on Sunless Island. They witnessed with their own hands the development of Aurora Village from nothing to the vast Aurora Town today.

They are hard-working people who save money and save money just so that they can buy a bigger house and start a new life.

Now, their wish appears to be coming true.

But Jason immediately became worried.

"How long will it take to build a new city? Are the number of planned houses enough? It is now the end of autumn and the Second Ring Commercial Street has just been completed. Will the construction team start construction? The open space in the third ring area is all farmland. Is it difficult to occupy the new city? Can the reclaimed farmland be used? If we don’t occupy the farmland, we have to open up a new piece of land. There will be no time to sow seeds in the spring tomorrow, and there will be rain in the summer..."

"oops!"

Martha picked up her chopsticks and hit her husband on the head.

"Why are you worrying so much? The city hall has already issued a notice to recruit temporary workers for the winter, and the construction team will start work soon."

"We are short of people! Then I have to help! It doesn't matter if I don't pay you!"

Jason stood up excitedly and barely managed to tip over the dining table, but he quickly sat down obediently in the eyes of his wife.
