You know, although the current Eastern Han imperial family is relatively poor, those aristocratic families are all very rich.Whether it is the five wealthy merchants headed by the Zhen family in Hebei County, the Yang family in the Gyeonggi area of ​​Luoyang, or the Yuan family in Nanyang, they are all the wealthy masters of the family.

As long as he builds the big library and sells some of the more luxurious courtyards in the southern new city to the children of the aristocratic families who have heard the news, even in the next three to five years, Zhang Yan will not need to worry about the financial problems of Lujiang. worried.

Of course, people always need a place to live, so Zhang Yan will not just stare at the wool of those aristocratic families and ignore those ordinary residents who cannot afford big houses at the lowest level.

Under his plan, a large amount of land will be used to build such small courtyards, and through the form of "down payment" plus "mortgage loan", the pressure on ordinary residents to buy a house will be reduced, and at the same time, a wave of income will be obtained in disguise. long-term government revenue.

As for if the other party does not repay the debt...then the house is still there, can you use the house to pay off the debt and sell it to other people in need?

There are a lot of people in the world, but there are not many cities like Lujiang that are rich in food and relatively stable and safe under Zhang Yan's protection.

As long as there are no malicious people, Zhang Yan believes that there will not be too many such cases of repudiation with the current disposition of the people.

After collecting a series of blueprints, Zhang Yan planned to wait until Xu Huang returned from suppressing the bandits before starting the construction of the new city in the south.

If the manpower is really insufficient, he can also start to recruit some displaced refugees now, and by hiring them, let these people build houses, and then sell them to these people by himself after they are built.

Although this method will consume some food, as long as the stalls are not spread too large and they are pushed forward bit by bit, given the landforms around the Lujiang River, there will not be any shortage of food.

As for his mansion, Zhang Yan naturally wanted to build it at the No. 001 location in the entire southern new city, and built it according to the highest specifications.

It's not that he deliberately wants to exhaust the luxury, but as the number one person in Wancheng, and even in the entire Lujiang River, Zhang Yanben is under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.

It can be said that his clothing, food, housing and transportation now represent the highest standards in Lujiang, and the more luxurious his residence is, the more expensive the land and houses of the same level as his residence will be sold.

All this is for the future development of Lujiang.

As for the matter of extravagance and extreme desire... the Marquis of Wan Kingdom was built with his own money, and he didn't embezzle the treasury of Lujiang. How could it be the turn of these monsters to come out to mess around.

He yawned a little, it was already noon, Zhang Yan felt a little sleepy.

However, after a little patience, he still planned to wait until this matter was directly confirmed before going to rest.

But this time, with the help of the system, Zhang Yan can obviously solve this matter in an easier way.

……

"Ying'er, come here."

Smiling, she walked into the room behind the side hall, where Qiao Ying was picking up some things from her hometown, and some musical instruments that she didn't bring because she was too hasty to go to Luoyang.

Hearing Zhang Yan's call at this moment, she looked up at him curiously.

"What's the matter, sir, is there something bothering you?"

Standing up and walking towards Zhang Yan, Qiao Ying's voice is still the girlish voice with a slight nasal sound, not like the so-called "clip sound" in later generations, but it makes Zhang Yan feel A burst of comfort.

Without further ado, Zhang Yan quickly handed over to Qiao Ying the blueprints of a wealthy family that he selected, covering an area of ​​[-] to [-] square meters, that is, about [-] acres in the Han Dynasty.

"Come on, Ying'er, come and choose. Let's see which of these styles of houses do you like better?"

"Husband, haven't I already received the award of the Marquis of Wan Kingdom? Then it's time to start a mansion independently. These are the blueprints selected by me. You can pick and choose."

Smiling, he handed over the drawings. Since Zhang Yan didn't have any special needs, and he never even imagined that one day he would be able to live in such a large garden with hundreds of people, so this choice was a good choice for Zhang Yan. It doesn't matter.

That being the case, Zhang Yan felt that it would be better to leave this matter to Qiao Ying, and let the other party choose a satisfactory one, so that they can live happily in the future.

As for the Bronze Sparrow Terrace... that thing is very small, and it is not impossible to repair one in the big yard of my home in the future.

"Hmm... do you have a drawing of the mansion where you will live in the future?"

"The husband decides on such things..."

Pursing her lips, she took the drawing. Although Qiao Ying said so, she subconsciously flipped through the contents of the drawing.

With just one glance, she, who had seldom been exposed to this kind of color painting before, was immediately attracted by the effect in the drawing.

"Ah! This... is so beautiful!"

Looking at the blueprint in his hand in amazement, because it directly comes with a 3D effect drawing, even Qiao Ying, who doesn't know much about architecture, can quickly understand the above content.

Looking at the ingenious designs, Qiao Ying's girlish heart was quickly aroused.

"The design of "A Pool of Spring" is very good. It has a large yard and an independent pool. It must be very beautiful in summer..."

"And this, the trees in "Snow and Sunny Time" are actually full of white flowers. Is there really such a plant...I haven't even seen it before!"

"Ah, this..."

Qiao Ying's gaze was attracted by a drawing that was in the back row, and soon, the astonishment on her face turned into a deep liking.

You know, sometimes, you can't hide the eyes that want something.

"Hehe, why, Ying'er likes this?"

Zhang Yan picked up the architectural blueprint called "Lantai Xiaomeng" with a smile, and from Qiaoying's expression just now, he already knew the answer.

"Well... I really like it, but isn't it too solemn?"

"Husband, you should still be our prefect of Lujiang. If it's an official office like the prefect's mansion, it's better to be more solemn."

Frowning, he picked up another design called "Yunshan Wandian", and saw that the building complex was like a series of mountain peaks, giving people an incomparable momentum and oppression.

Of course, as a price, the design of this building complex is much worse than the previous designs in terms of spirituality and some beautiful atmosphere.

As an ordinary person whose EQ is not too bad, Zhang Yan naturally wouldn't continue to follow Qiao Ying's words just now.

"No, just this Lantai Xiaomeng, I like this too."

"I will build the official office of the prefect of Lujiang at that time. This Mansion of the Marquis of the Kingdom of Wan is just our home. There will be no outsiders coming over, let alone those guys' turn to comment."

Perhaps it was the word "our home" that made Qiao Ying feel a little embarrassed, and soon her face turned red.

"Well, the husband decides..."

Whispering in Zhang Yan's ear, Qiao Ying seemed to have a hint of joy in her heart at the moment, with a faint smile on her face.

After that, as if she remembered something, she didn't go back to pack her things anymore, just hugging Zhang Yan's arm, and stood beside him, with a look of hesitation to speak.

"Well, well, then this matter is decided like this."

"When I am free tomorrow, I will send someone to bring this thing to Wei Xian. When the new city is expanded in the southern part of Wancheng, we will give priority to building the benchmark buildings in the southern new city."

Putting all the blueprints back into his arms, Zhang Yan soon noticed Qiao Ying's somewhat unusual expression.

"Well, what happened?"

"Ying'er, why are you acting like this?"

Reaching out his hand to gently brush the other side's sideburns, Zhang Yan did not expect that his beloved wife who was a bit lively and clingy, willing to share everything with him, would show such a shy expression.

Afterwards, after listening to Qiao Ying's explanation, Zhang Yan showed his original expression.

……

"Well, Husband, Ying'er heard Ye'er mention it just now, Husband, you seem to want to build a large library near the Wancheng County Government, to collect books from all over the world and display them to the world..."

"I don't know if Ying'er is bored on weekdays, can I go to the library and have a look?"

Somewhat embarrassedly asked Zhang Yan, Qiaoying inevitably blushed a little at the moment.

Although according to Qiaoying's understanding of Zhang Yan, the other party doesn't care about such small things, but if he doesn't care, he doesn't care. If he doesn't pay attention to these details, the relationship between husband and wife will inevitably be affected by some small things and gradually change. flat or even distant.

On the other side, Zhang Yan couldn't help grinning lightly when he saw that the other party looked like he was talking and negotiating with him.

"Ying'er, what are you talking about? Why are you acting like I'm restricting your personal freedom?"

"Back then you brought a little maid and dared to break into places like restaurants and brothels. Now you want to apply to a library with me?"

Gently pinching the other party's nose, Zhang Yan also knew that the other party was thinking of taking care of his emotions, so not only did he not feel annoyed and outrageous, but a faint warmth rose on the contrary.

Opposite him, Qiao Ying also wrinkled her nose, then hugged Zhang Yan's arm and laughed softly.

……

"Okay, approved for my husband!"

"In two days, Kuai Qi should start a census of the population of Wancheng. At that time, you should also urge the Qiao family to report the population situation together. The scholars under Kuai Qi will register a Lujiang local for you. proof of identity."

"You are from Lujiang. They will probably give you a Class A identity certificate. With the certificate, you should be able to go to the library twice for free within a ten-day period. If you still want to go there for the rest of the time, you have to pay A little ticket."

"We are not poor people, and the tickets are not expensive. If you want to go, you can pay directly, and don't make any specialization. Just support Kuai Qi's work."

Smiling, he told Qiao Ying the general result of the discussion that he and others had discussed in the morning, and Zhang Yan bit down heavily on the words "Class A identity certificate".

That's right, Zhang Yan is planning to introduce a somewhat novel demographic method in the Eastern Han Dynasty this time, that is, to divide all the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty into "A" and "B" based on his own base in Lujiang. Different levels of identification are issued.

Of course, this does not mean that he will learn from Mongolia and create caste ideas such as first-class Southerners, second-class Han, and third-class Hu Qiang under his command. The trade hub adjacent to the Central Plains is a compromise and change made due to the continuous flow of a large number of people.

To be honest, the so-called A and B ID cards are not so much the difference between an ID card and an Overseas Chinese ID card, but rather an ID card and a temporary residence permit. They are just to show the different benefits they enjoy in the same area. and exist.

In the process of promoting government affairs in the future, the population holding Class A identity certificates will be regarded as the local population of Lujiang by Zhang Yan's forces. past stable jobs.

Correspondingly, the Type B identity certificate is used as a temporary residence certificate in Lujiang, which is specially issued to businessmen living in Lujiang from other places, or refugees from other places who go to Lujiang for work.

In terms of function, these two types of identification can currently play the same role. After owning a set of Lujiang real estate and a corresponding job, a Type B resident can also go to the Civil Affairs Bureau of Lujiang to upgrade himself to a Type A resident. Enjoy the treatment and benefits of Class A residents.

As for the so-called benefits, it naturally refers to free access to the library every ten days, as well as some future citizen benefits related to public education and health.

To give a simple example, all Class A residents who hold Lujiang River can stay in the library for unlimited time every day as long as they are willing to spend money. As long as the library is open, they can enter it and read a lot of books.

Those Class B residents will be limited to the maximum browsing time per ten days, and this restriction will be lifted by Zhang Yan only after the other party has a stable job and residence in Lujiang.

Although he faintly felt a little contemptuous, Zhang Yan still planned to use this method to stimulate the desire of those temporary population to settle in Lujiang and live in Lujiang for a long time.

Chapter 35 Ending Kindness

"Ying'er, whether it's you or other servants working in our mansion, you can go to the library to study anytime and anywhere without affecting your own work."

"You've been following me for so long, and you've already seen that when you think about it, I always treat men and women equally when it comes to gender."

"Of course, the law and order in Lujiang has not been rectified yet. Whether it's you or Ye'er, you still have to bring some family guards with you when you go out, so as not to cause any trouble."

Smiling, he told Qiao Ying that since Zhang Yan happened to mention the Qiao family just now, after hesitating for a moment, he still planned to take the initiative to do something to show his kindness to the other party.

No matter how you say it, Zhang Yan is also the son-in-law of the Wanchengqiao family. Even if he has always maintained this attitude of avoiding suspicion, there will always be some intersections between the two sides on certain matters.

Coupled with the fact that he has been renting at Qiao's house during this period of time, Zhang Yan felt a little embarrassed.

After all, he is not a young man anymore, Zhang Yan has already married now, and it is unreasonable to always live in the old man's house.

After a little hesitation, Zhang Yan considered his own identity, and finally planned to express something to the other party through Qiao Ying, the bridge between the two.

……

"By the way, Ying'er, didn't Yuezhang chat with me about the future development of Wancheng a few days ago. At that time, Wei Xian and the others hadn't arrived yet, so I didn't give him an answer."
