The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 370 School District Room

On a certain day in December, Ruan Wenlong approached Ding Yi and said that the pressure to use silver was a bit high.

It is said that Ding Yi just made more than 100 million taels from Japan, so there is no financial pressure.

But Ruan Wenlong said that with Dongjiang Town's current population and military strength, at least 50 taels of silver must be kept in the books to support it.

And Ding Yi's land is getting bigger and bigger, and the population is increasing. Now there are more than 1 soldiers in Denglai. If there is a war, once these people become soldiers, they will definitely have to pay money.

Now the salary plus all wages issued every month is close to 8 taels, and the recovery is about [-] to [-]%.

Right now, in order to increase the production of flintlock guns, it is necessary to build new iron furnaces, expand production capacity, and increase workers. All aspects require a lot of expenses, so we have to find a way to recycle some, so as to reduce expenses.

Ding Yi laughed immediately, what can my father-in-law do?
Ruan Wenlong took the initiative to talk to him about this, and Ding Yi guessed that he thought of a new way to make money.

Sure enough, Ruan Wenlong thought for a while and said, "I have an idea. In the past, when everyone came here from Xu Dabao, they built houses collectively, and the houses were relatively simple."

"After so many years, everyone's houses are the same, but as everyone's wages and salaries have increased, some people have begun to hire people to build their own houses."

Because Ding Yi paid relatively high salaries to military officers, craftsmen, teachers, doctors and other technicians, the highest craftsmen, like Li Zhi, the Zhou couple, etc., could get several hundred taels a year.

These people have no place to spend so much money. I don’t know who took the lead this year, and then a few craftsmen, teachers, doctors, etc., started to build houses by themselves.

They spent money to hire people from Lushun, and helped them build new houses. Their living conditions improved instantly, and their homes became more grand.

Ruan Wenlong saw it, and immediately thought of a new way to make money.

He suggested to Ding Yi that we can build a house and sell it to everyone.

Now in Lushun, almost everyone’s houses are exactly the same. Many middle and lower-level generals still have bunkers at home.

Because the Liao people with Tunbao became soldiers and then promoted to officials, their hometown is still Tunbao, where hundreds of people live together.

Some people are building their own houses now, and there will definitely be more people learning to build houses in the future.

As for Lushun, Ding Yi had planned very well in the early stage, and there was indeed not much space left, so he had to build it himself to prevent people from building randomly.

Isn't this real estate?Ding Yi laughed in his heart, he looked at his father-in-law, what a fucking talent.

"Father-in-law, what you said is so right, this reminder is timely, hahaha, let's go, I will take you to have a look."

Ding Yi quickly found Zhong Zhennu, the director of construction, and Ruan Wenlong.

He took Zhong Zhennu and Ruan Wenlong to two miles south of Lushunkou.

This used to be a relatively large market town gathering place. Before Ding Yi came here, there were some simple restaurants, shops, and private stalls and trading places built by the original Lushun soldiers. The Lushun officers at that time liked it when they were free. Come here, you can buy some groceries and drink some wine.

After Ding Yi came here, he rebuilt the place. On this street, he built two bathhouses, two theaters, and two high-end hotels, repaired the street, and made the street very clean.

This is now a good place for Lushun officers and soldiers to relax. If you want to drink on any happy event, you must come here.

But at that time Ding Yi vacated a lot of space on both sides of the street, and Ruan Wenlong didn't know what he wanted to do.

"See if there are any of these two sides. I will give you a blueprint later to build a community here." Ding Yi said.

The two "community" did not understand the word.

"It's a private house, a residence." Ding Yi said: "But this community is on the side of the pedestrian street in our commercial center, and the location is quite good."

The two nodded, knowing that this street was called a commercial center and a pedestrian street by Ding Yi, but they naturally didn't understand what these words meant.

"I plan to use the land on the westernmost side to build a school. I will move the primary school here in the future. The community is next to the primary school."

The two listened intently, keeping in mind.

Ding Yi said again: "As my father-in-law said, we pay the craftsmen very high wages, and they can't run out of money. I don't think there is any direction to work hard."

"Now start to build communities, and then sell houses in the school district, forcing them to work hard and earn money."

"..." The two looked at each other, Zhong Zhennu didn't understand, but Ruan Wenlong did.

"And you, Lao Zhong, your salary is so high, and I haven't seen you spend it, and your wife doesn't even have a few new clothes." Ding Yi scolded: "How can I get back the salary when everyone is like you?"

Zhong Zhennu laughed dryly, disturbed his head, and looked puzzled: "Master Ding, why should we buy a house in your school district?"

"I moved here in elementary school. You live here. Your son arrives at school as soon as he leaves the house in the morning and returns home as soon as school is over. I asked if you would come?"

"There are restaurants, bathhouses and theaters next to the community. Are you coming?"

Zhong Zhennu's eyes widened immediately, and he nodded heavily: "Of course."

Ding Yi's current elementary school is more than two miles away from his home. Every morning, his mother-in-law wants to send his son out, which is a long way.

When selecting the site, all the generals said it was too far away, and Ding Yi also said it was too close.

Now everyone understands that Mr. Ding did it on purpose.

There are also bathhouses, hotels, etc., which are more than five miles away from the barracks of various ministries, and some of them have to travel ten miles. (There is also Ding Yi in the original Nanying area of ​​Lushun, but this one is newly built.)
It is also more than five miles away from the residences of the officers' families.

It's not easy to come over and take a shower.

It is indeed much more convenient to buy a house here.

The corner of Zhong Zhennu's mouth twitched, and he immediately said, "Master Ding, I want to book one set first, no, two sets."

"Okay, 200 taels." Ding Yi said calmly.

"Steal money." Zhong Zhennu yelled strangely.

After Ding Yi planned the school district housing here, he soon arrived at Phi Island, where he also planned a school district housing and a business center.

Then Jinzhou, Fuzhou, all ran again, and the houses in the four school districts were quickly completed.

It is necessary to send out several groups of people from the Medical Bureau to build a medical center next to the school district building in Pidao, Fuzhou, Jinzhou.

The branches of the Military and Civilian Service Center are all located next to the school district, so that everyone can buy vegetables and things nearby.

In short, Ding Yi began to think of ways to get back all the wages that everyone took.

Dongjiang Town soon began to build school district housing and supporting facilities, and the benefits of school district housing began to spread among wealthy families such as military officers and craftsmen.

It is said that after the house is built, not everyone is eligible to buy it, and they have to be ranked according to their contributions.

Those who have made contributions to Lushun Phi Island, such as teachers, doctors, craftsmen, senior generals, etc., have priority.

For a while, people from the two places inquired about the news, how to evaluate the contribution.
