"Sir, you are here!"

After waiting for a while, Pei Shisanniang rushed over, her face full of joy, and she followed Ouyang Rong.

This beautiful woman with purple and gold silk fabrics was dressed in a graceful and elegant dress, and she couldn't hide the joy on her face.

These all indicate that today is special.

Without saying a word, Ouyang Rong looked around the yard, selected a few rooms, and walked around a few times. Pei Shisanniang calmed down her expression and followed behind with some seriousness, as did Yan Liulang and others... The whole team followed silently.

Behind the young governor, the atmosphere was somewhat quiet.

Not long after, Ouyang Rong, who was walking at the front with his hands behind his back, suddenly nodded after leaving a courtyard: "Thank you for your hard work, Thirteenth Mother."

"Young Master..." Pei Shisanniang suddenly choked up, and the corners of her eyes became a little brighter.

However, she had makeup on her face, so she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve to avoid smearing her face.

Yan Liulang on the side smiled. The Ming Dynasty used to call her "Mrs. Pei", polite but distant. Now, whether intentionally or not, he casually calls her "Thirteenth Niang". The closeness is obvious. Can Pei Thirteenth not cry with joy?

?Being accepted by the Ming government can be regarded as a bitter daughter-in-law who has become a mother-in-law.

"Let's go, let's talk as we go."

Ouyang Rong put his hands behind his back and strode towards the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the intersection in front of him.

Pei Shisanniang and other Yang Shang followed closely behind, chattering all over the place and introducing the current situation to Ouyang Rong.

Previously, due to the forcible construction of the Xingzi Lake Giant Buddha, the Jiangzhou government and the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, headed by Pei Shisanniang, forcibly expropriated most of the "dangerous old houses" in the Xingzifang slum, euphemistically calling it reconstruction and reorganizing the city.

In the name of repairing the environmental facilities around Donglin Giant Buddha.

Originally, Pei Shisanniang and others acquired the land of these old houses in order to build batches of luxury houses and compounds, align them with Xunyangfang and Xiushuifang, ride on the booming development of Xunyang City, speculate on housing prices, and attract wealthy people from Jiangnan to spend huge sums of money.

.

In the past, for this reason, I would not hesitate to fund the Donglin Giant Buddha in Xingzifang. Anyway, I can make money back, as long as the Jiangzhou government and chief officials take the lead and help deal with the unruly people.

Unfortunately, the Xingzi Lake Buddha collapsed later, and Lin Cheng, Wang Lengran and others died, as did Shen Bingqiang, the most radical vice president of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

The power of Jiangzhou returned to the hands of Jiangzhou Sima Ouyang Rong.

The people in Xingzifang who lost their low-cost housing complained full of complaints against the merchants.

The businessmen who had taken over the land were naturally dumbfounded and were in the limelight for a while.

Fortunately, the acting governor Ouyang Lianghan seemed to have put the blame behind him, and at the same time, the all-rounded President Pei had quietly joined the young governor, and the situation did not seem too bad.

Ouyang Rong chose to let these merchants go, not entirely out of mercy, but because they would be of great use if they stayed.

These days, he asked Pei Shisanniang to integrate them. Jiangzhou Hall took the lead, and the plan was divided into several batches to build unified rental houses one after another, unify the rents in Xingzifang, and benefit the people who came to Xunyang to find work.

Right now, the first batch of unified rental housing is being completed.

These rented houses are not luxurious and beautiful. The reason why they were built so quickly is because they are only for people to live in. As long as the quality is up to standard, there are no fancy decorations, but they still have a lot of things that should be included in daily life.

Even though it is so simple, it is enough to live in. It is much more comfortable than the old houses that have been lived in for decades and have to be careful about collapse every time you sneeze.

And in the long run, unified regulation by the government can effectively curb the rising rent trend in Xingzifang.

However, this kind of renovation project of rented housing also has its hidden dangers.

First of all, it is easy to cause strong dissatisfaction among the people in the short term.

The simplest one is that if you want to repair these houses in a unified manner, in addition to dealing with the stubborn small landlords, you also have to let the renters who have already lived in move out first, right?

Where are you going to place them? If there are other places to live, why would they live in the slums of Xingzifang?

And so many people, during the process of relocation, had to deal with a lot of trivial matters. After they had to bear the costs themselves, they were naturally resentful and dissatisfied with the government. They even felt that the Jiangzhou government was just trying to get rid of them.

These poor people go...

Anyway, the three of them became a tiger, and there were all kinds of rumors.

But fortunately, Wang Lengran, Lin Cheng and others, who are brave and fearless and have a deep spirit of sacrifice, are ahead of the thunder. They have taken up the old house and driven away most of the people of Xingzifang.

Ouyang Rong is here to wipe the butt and put out the fire.

To put it figuratively, the situation in Xingzifang has reached its lowest point now, and he will always be on the upswing no matter how he goes.

Everyone regards him as a savior, not to mention the "uniform rent housing" plan he proposed, which combines the local people of Xunyang with the customs of this era. The effect is very good and immediate.

In addition, for the implementation cost of this unified rental housing renovation, Ouyang Rong paid Pei Shisanniang and the Yangzhou business gang behind her for nothing, and most of the funds were raised by them.

Ouyang Rong was not very embarrassed at first.

I'm sorry to let Pei Shisanniang and others do it at a complete loss, so I plan to let them build a part of the mansion compound at the Xingzi Lake construction site to regain some health.

However, what Yan Liulang said later, and Pei Shisanniang, who had been dazzled by the dazzling light around Mingfu for a long time, did not agree immediately. After going back, they made some calculations. The next day, they drew inferences from one example and proposed a new set of feasible solutions.

plan:

Constructing all these vacant lots into rented houses on a large scale can control costs and allow them to at least recoup their capital in the next five years. At the same time, it can also provide stable cash flow every month... which is acceptable.

Ouyang Rong was quite surprised by this. His impression of this business woman who was originally crazy about profit changed a lot. He immediately nodded and agreed. Now he is following this improvement plan, which can be regarded as a complete success...

In the afternoon, under the sunshine, at a crowded street, Ouyang Rong arrived amidst crowds.

Amid a burst of joy, the ribbon-cutting ceremony was successfully completed...

Then, the first batch of tenants began to move in.

These courtyards will be given priority to the original tenants and residents of Qingyang Heng Street, who are the most direct victims of the Xingzi Lake Giant Buddha. The other remaining courtyards will be rented out at a uniformly lower price than the average rent before reconstruction. The process will be sent by Jiangzhou Hall

A dozen or so officials from the Municipal and Trade Department came to preside over and sign a long-term contract for renting a house.

As the afternoon passed, people from Xingzifang moved in one after another.

Ouyang Rong took a look around and found that there were no major problems, with a smile on his face.

Immediately, his attention fell on the clear and crisp sound of wooden fish that kept coming to his ears...

evening.

A large-scale restaurant in Xingzifang is holding a celebration dinner, with Pei Shisanniang and other merchants taking the lead.

Halfway through the toasts at the dinner, Ouyang Rong excused himself to leave.

Went to a deserted place on the stairs, closed our eyes and entered the Tower of Merit.

[Merit: eight thousand two hundred and twenty-nine]

Look at the blue-gold numbers that have doubled above the little wooden fish.

Ouyang Rong looked surprised.

Although my ears have been ringing all afternoon, I didn't expect so many.

Before today, the merit of the little wooden fish was only worth three thousand. This time, it has increased to more than five thousand?

But after thinking about it, it seems normal.

Of course there is a lot of merit in giving feedback on something that is really related to the people's clothing, food, housing and transportation.

And with Wang Lengran and the others comparing him, Ouyang Rong naturally has a very good reputation.

Moreover, the first batch of rented houses in Xingzifang is definitely the most popular one, and its reputation spreads widely, reaching many prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River.

The subsequent batches of unified rental houses will definitely not be as big as they are now. At most, ordinary people who live in them will feel grateful and report their merits.

So today, he has gained most of the merits that can be obtained from renting a house in Xingzifang, and there will be a long tail effect, and the water will flow slowly.

Ouyang Rong nodded with satisfaction.

In fact, for a moment, he thought about repairing Xunyangfang and Xiushuifang, but he calmed down and extinguished this idea.

This opportunity in Xingzifang is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He can be regarded as cleaning up the "mess" for Wang Lengran and others. The people of Xingzifang whose interests were harmed are now complaining about Wang Lengran. As for Lin Cheng and others, even if they have already gone down, they are named Yi.

It stinks for hundreds of years.

That's why Ouyang Rong can push forward the unified rental housing project in Xingzifang without any hindrance. Otherwise, why don't he go to other villages and try the same thing?

Then his short-term reputation is probably not that of a blue-blooded master, but a stupid young upright official who loves to mess around and has no interest in the people's livelihood. He is passionate but does stupid things. You just do it and don't say anything about it.

After leaving the merit tower, on the stairs, Ouyang Rongchang took a breath of alcohol and sobered up a lot.

He rubbed his slightly tipsy face vigorously.

To be cautious during these days, he did not drink alcohol outside the house. Today was an exception, as he was toasted a lot.

Although Yanrokuro helped stop many of them, they were still a little drunk.

In the evening, I planned to go to the quiet courtyard to have dinner with Xiu Niang, but now the celebration dinner has been delayed. I don't know if I will have time to go there after finishing the dinner here. I can't meet Xiu Niang drunk.

Doesn't he want to lose face because he "can't defeat Yang Lianghan even if he drinks a thousand cups"?

Ouyang Rong sighed and nodded, went to wash his face first, and then returned to the dinner...
