Ma Xiaoliu sat under the awning, staring at the assistant as he registered everyone who came to see the house.
He had been on the construction site for so long, and although he couldn't call out everyone's name, they all looked familiar.
Moreover, the refugees have a temperament that is different from the locals, which can be distinguished at a glance.
Wang Jiangen took his family to register under the pergola.
Wang Lianshi looked at the neat rows of houses in front of him, with black bricks and black tiles, and his breathing became disordered.
She was in a state of emptiness, and kept asking in her heart: Can we really live in such a good house? Such a good house really only costs six or seven taels of silver
This, this, this...
How can the owner be so kind
Doesn't the owner make money
She was so confused that she didn't know how to put her hands and feet.
Wang Jiangen took out the nameplate and handed it to the assistant for registration.
Ma Xiaoliu looked at their family, he knew Wang Jiangen.
He is young and works hard. I heard that my father died on the way to flee famine, and the whole family depended on him to support him.
Huh
It seems that his information is lagging behind, the situation of the Wang family has changed, and now there is another earner in his family.
Ma Xiaoliu saw the nameplate hanging on Ergen's neck, and he knew it, no wonder Wang Jiangen was willing to spend money to buy a house.
When Wang Jiangen completed the registration, Ma Xiaoliu reminded him, "Your family came early, go in and pick a house, pick two sunny ones."
Wang Jiangen grinned, "Thank you, Manager Ma."
Ma Xiaoliu waved his hand, telling him to leave quickly.
The Wang family walked into the community.
Two neat rows of houses are next to each other, and the street that can pass two carriages side by side extends forward.
The street is paved with bluestone slabs, walking on it makes people straighten their back subconsciously.
Wang Lianshi was very nervous, "Jiangen, can we really buy a house here?"
Wang Jiangen nodded, "Of course."
Wang Lianshi looked back at the arbor again, "It's amazing that such a young guy has already become a steward."
"Mother, don't underestimate Manager Ma. He is a character trained by the boss himself. He can write and count, and he does things transparently."
"It turns out that he is a scholar, so it's no wonder he can be in charge at a young age."
After hesitating for a while, Wang Lianshi said again: "After the family settles down, it is better to let Sangen also study. When he has learned it, he will teach the boss and Ergen. If he can read, he can always earn more money."
Wang Jiangen was very surprised, he didn't expect his cowardly and cowardly mother to have such insight.
Seeing the boss staring at her, Wang Lianshi became a little nervous, "Boss, am I wrong? Reading costs money, and the family is tight on money. If you don't want to go to school, don't go to school."
San Gen, who is less than ten years old, is still at a loss. He vaguely knew that reading was a good thing, but he didn't know how to read. There is no harm in not reading.
But when his elder brother Wang Jiangen glanced at him, he wiped his nose and straightened his back suddenly.
Wang Jiangen looked away, and said: "Mother's idea is very good, wait for me and Ergen to save some money, and try to send Sangen to study next year."
Ergen had no objection, "I'll listen to the eldest brother. When the time comes, Sangen will teach me when he comes back."
Si Niu said weakly, "I want to study too."
She is smarter than Sangen.
Wang Jiangen laughed and patted Si Niu's head, "Let San Gen teach you."
Si Niu looked at San Gen, and said very seriously: "Brother San, you have to study hard, and teach me at home after you have finished."
Sangen wiped his snot and nodded heavily, agreeing to his sister's request.
The family talked and laughed with joy.
Wang Jiangen led the way, and the family walked around the community.
Wang Lianshi was startled, "How big is this, how many houses?"
Wang Jiangen works on this construction site every day and is very familiar with the situation here.
He said: "There are 15 streets in total, and each street has a maximum of 220 houses, and a minimum of 150 houses."
Wang Lianshi opened his mouth wide and settled the score with his fingers.
Wang Jiangen gave the answer directly, "There are 2,800 houses in total."
Wang Lianshi exclaimed again and again, "There are tens of thousands of houses, how many people can live in them?"
Wang Jiangen laughed, looking very proud.
These houses were built brick by brick. Now, they will buy the house they built, and they will be able to live in their new home soon, and they can't hide their excitement.
He said to Wang Lianshi: "The houses are different in size. Some houses have more than ten rooms, while others have only four or five rooms."
"Brother, should we buy a house in a big house or a small house?"
"Small houses are expensive, we buy big houses."
The small house is convenient for a family to live in, and the price is very high for a detached house.
The family came to the last street, which is the edge of Fangshi.
A portion of the wall has been repaired, and the high wall prevents outsiders from entering.
The entire Fang City will be surrounded by walls and become an independent area. Several doors will be opened on the fence to facilitate people's entry and exit.
There are many people who think like the Wang family.
Everyone has limited financial resources and cannot afford a small house with a single family, so they can only choose to choose two houses in a large house.
Seeing acquaintances, Wang Jiangen was so familiar that he greeted them.
Then he turned his back and said to his family: "Let's choose quickly. The house in Xiangyang will be picked later."
Wang Lianshi said: "I thought few people bought houses, but I didn't expect so many people."
On a street, people come and go from every house.
Before, Wang Lianshi was still thinking about who to sell so many houses to, but he did not expect so many people to come to see the houses.
Wang Jiangen whispered: "I heard people say that the employer will give priority to those who have a house when recruiting workers."
"Really?"
Wang Jiangen nodded, "It's fine for mother to know about this, don't tell it. When we buy a house, maybe mother will also have a chance to be hired by the owner and earn a wage."
Wang Lianshi immediately became excited.
She dreamed of being able to have a job, earn a wage, and lighten the burden on the eldest and the second.
She whispered, "Then, let's buy a house quickly."
Once you buy a house, you can live in a new house and earn wages.
The Wang family chose and chose, and finally selected two houses.
Holding the nameplate and money, Wang Jiangen hurried to the alley to register.
"Fifteen Lane, Building 109, No. 5 and No. 6." He announced the house he had chosen in one breath.
The clerk flipped through the registration book, "You are late. Room 5 and 6 in Building 109 have already been selected, and they are going through the formalities inside."
Wang Jiangen's head slammed, and someone actually got there first.
He came back to his senses, and hurriedly asked: "Are there any sunny houses that I haven't chosen?"
The clerk flipped through the brochure and said, "The houses after one hundred and thirty are basically still vacant. Hurry up, or you will be selected to leave when it is too late."
Wang Jiangen nodded, took two steps, ran back, and glanced into the accounting room built at zero hour.
He wanted to know who was the first to buy the house he was looking for.
Depend on!
Still an acquaintance.
A fellow who lives in the same shanty area, and always bullies their family as a strong laborer.
Wang Jiangen was furious, wondering whether the other party must have deliberately robbed his house.
As the sun gets higher and higher, more and more people come to see the house.
Wang Jiangen was flustered and didn't dare to delay any longer, so he hurried away to pick a house again.
"Boss, is the house settled?"
"It's gone, someone took the lead. Let's go to choose a house quickly, and this time we must be ahead of others."
When the Wang family heard this, they also became chaotic. I am afraid that all the good houses will be taken away by people.
They followed Wang Jiangen, ran straight to the end of the street, and began to choose houses.
Xiangyang, Xiangyang...
What they require of the house is the sun.
Wang Jiangen picked two houses again, and asked Wang Lianshi to guard the house, and he took Er Gen to the street for registration.
"Fifteen Lane, Building 141, Room 5, Room 6."
Hearing this, the man started to take out the booklet and flip through it.
Wang Jiangen stared nervously at the clerk's hand. There were only 150 houses in the 15th Lane, and he was very worried that the house would be taken away by another person.
Looking at the buddy's fingers, he moved down a little bit, and finally found the records of 181 houses.
"Bring the nameplate and register."
Wang Jiangen was relieved.
Take off the nameplate on the neck and give it to the buddy for registration.
The clerk picked up a brush to register, and filled in Wang Jiangen's name on the form contract, and then handed over the nameplate and the form contract in black and white to Wang Jiangen.
"Go inside and find the accountant to go through the formalities. If you can't read, there will be a teacher over there to help explain it, free of charge."
The buddy pointed to an old master under the shade of a tree.
The old master is also a refugee and can't do any work. Fortunately, he can write and count, so his livelihood is not a problem.
A few days ago, the owner recruited a group of masters who could interpret standard contracts at zero hour. The old masters applied for the application and were selected.
Today, he only needs to sit in the shade of a tree and explain the contract to everyone who comes to his door, and he can earn one hundred Wen, plus two meals.
This is the highest-paying job he has had since he left his hometown and came to the capital. I really want to keep doing it.
Wang Jiangen said to Er Gen: "You go to find your mother and tell them to come here. I will go through the formalities here."
Ergen was obedient and ran away.
Since it is free, of course Wang Jiangen would like to ask the old master for advice.
The old master took the contract and explained it to him word for word.
"The house you bought is six taels for a room. This is the price of a one-time payment. If you take out a loan for three years, it will be seven taels, and for five years it will be eight taels..."
"I take out a loan."
The old master knew that almost all the people who came to consult were loans, "For loans, you have to find the accountant inside and sign a contract.
In other words, you have to sign two contracts. One was signed with the owner, and the other was signed with the Shaofu Bank.
Another thing you have to keep in mind is that the house can be bought and sold freely, but if you want to sell the house before the loan is paid off, you must sell it to the owner. Others can't. In a few days, the owner will set up a house rental trading center in Fangshi for everyone's convenience.
In addition, the nameplate on your body is your personal seal. If you buy a house or sell a house to repay the loan and work, as long as you live in this city, you have to use the nameplate, so don’t lose it. "
Upon hearing this, Wang Jiangen gripped the nameplate on his neck tightly and said, "I can't lose it."
The old master returned the contract to him, "Hurry up and go through the formalities. There are so many people today, I'm afraid there will be a queue."
Wang Jiangen nodded, got up and walked towards the house where people came in and out.
Sure enough, the line has already started inside.
More than a dozen accountants are sitting in a row.
With an abacus in hand, he explained to everyone the process of buying a house and how to repay the loan every month.
Qingmei, dressed as a servant, also came to help.
It's not that she wants to join in the fun, but because there is not enough manpower, Gu Jiu had no choice but to send her out.
Not only her, Qingzhu, Nanny Fang, Xiaocui, and Wang Yi all came.
All of a sudden, the big maids around Gu Jiu disappeared, and only the little maids were left to serve.
Gu Jiu even borrowed 20 accountants from the Wangfu's house to help.
If it wasn't for the fact that the family order of the palace hadn't maintained his identity and was old-fashioned, Gu Jiu would have wanted to fool the family order to help her sit in charge.
In addition, Gu Jiu also asked the chief of Huyang County for help.
The Princess of Huyang is unreliable, but the house orders of the Princess and the accountant of the Princess' Mansion are extremely reliable.
As soon as Gu Jiu opened his mouth, Hu Yang sent everyone over without saying a word.
The princess's family order is very troublesome, he is also an official of the court after all, why is he selling the house with a group of accountants
It's just that under the majesty of Huyang princess, the princess's family order can only be recognized by pinching his nose.
Bai Zhong followed Qian Fu and led his people to patrol around.
That's right, Qian Fu was also fooled.
Liu Zhao spoke in person, and Qian Fu had no choice but to obey.
Fortunately, I only need to be busy for three days. After three days, he will be able to return to the palace to be his servant.
Every street has a real estate management point, and the fifteenth lane is the most crowded.
Because the houses on Fifteenth Lane are the cheapest.
Qian Fu walked into the real estate management office, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked at the people in the hall calmly.
Bai Zhong asked in a low voice: "Eunuch Qian, is there a problem?"
Qian Fu is good at listening to news, and even better at reading people.
He suppressed his voice, and said to Bai Zhong: "The one on the right front, wearing a brown short shirt and wearing cloth shoes, send someone to look."
Bai Zhong was dubious, so he called a clerk to handle the matter.
The buddy took the order and went forward to talk to the man in the brown short shirt.
"Brother, you are buying a house too! Which one is it? Maybe we will buy it in the same place and we will be neighbors in the future."
The buddy has a characteristic, he is born popular, and he can't envy him.
The man in the brown blouse was a little defensive at first, but he had to lose in front of the guy who was born to be popular.
The two communicated enthusiastically, and even brought other people to join in.
Convinced that he had picked out the bottom of the man in the brown short shirt, the clerk excused himself and returned to Bai Zhong's side.
At this time, Bai Zhong and Qian Fu were drinking tea in the room.
He asked directly: "How is it, have you found out clearly?"
The man nodded, "I have found out clearly. This is his identity information. He is a refugee working on a construction site. There are quite a lot of people in his family. We need to buy four houses in total."
Bai Zhong looked at the identity information, no problem.
Qian Fu asked, "Loan or cash?"
"Loan for three years."
Qian Fu said expressionlessly: "This family borrowed money from the bank last month. The reason was to see a doctor and buy medicine. In no time, they had money to buy a house. As far as I know, for four houses, he needs to prepare two taels of silver." down payment. Where did he get the money?"
Qian Fu held the roster of refugees in his hand, and he had already turned to the column for the man in the brown shirt.
This is not just a roster, it is a file. All aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation of the refugees were recorded.
Qian Fu read, sighed, and studied.
This is a good idea to create a file for everyone. Who you want to check can be seen at a glance through the files.
Hearing this, Bai Zhong felt that there was something wrong.
It is indeed abnormal for a refugee who is still in debt to suddenly have two taels of silver on hand to buy a house.
"Could it be that the money borrowed last month was not used up?"
Qian Fu shook his head, "There are eight people in this man's family, his mother does laundry, his brother does odd jobs, and only he and his wife have serious jobs.
The little money the couple earned was only enough for the old father's medical expenses, not to mention the cost of food. It can be said that this family is poor and white, and can barely make ends meet.
Two taels of silver is not a small sum for a family like them. Even if he wants to borrow money to buy a house, he should buy two houses.
But he bought four houses in one go. Where did the money come from? Who among the refugees is so rich that he can lend him two taels of silver at a time
As far as I know, all the hooligans and loan sharks among the refugees have been cleaned up, and there is no underground lending.
The bank also has no extra records, so the two taels of silver in his hand don't feel suspicious? "
When Bai Zhong heard this, he immediately felt that there was something wrong with the man in the brown short shirt.
Qian Fu closed the roster and said to Bai Zhong: "Send someone to check. I guess there are quite a few people in the same situation as the man in the brown shirt."
"Eunuch Qian means that someone bribed these refugees to hoard houses?"
Qian Fu said with a stern face, "This possibility is not ruled out. The houses here are good and there are many people, and they will prosper soon. It is not impossible for some people to look at the houses here and want to hoard houses. Because of the restrictions on house purchases, only refugees Buying a house, those buyers who are not short of money can only hoard houses by buying refugees."
Bai Zhong bared his teeth, as Madam expected.
He called the assistant, "You go to see Eunuch Deng and tell him the situation here. Tell him to give an order quickly. Today, we only need to register the purchase of the house, and we will release the payment and get the key in a few days later."
The man led the way.
