The gates of the inner city were not yet closed, so Hu Dong led people into the city quickly.
"Master Hu, can you be so harsh on these people?" Behind Hu Dong, a ferocious-looking man asked as he walked.
This person is one of the more famous gangsters in the outer city of the capital. His name is Huang San and his nickname is Hob Rou.
"This is nothing more than a few tables of good wine and a few old ladies!" Hu Dong sneered, "What kind of skill is this?"
Huang San thought about it, "I'm talking about the future. Didn't you mean to give them benefits in the future?"
"Did I say it?" Hu Dong said with a smile, "Which of their ears listened?"
"You said it, after the land acquisition!"
"After the land acquisition, the land belongs to the Postal Department of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. If you want to build a warehouse there, who are they looking for benefits from? The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development?" Hu Dong sneered and led his men towards the Yin Yamen of the inner city.
Huang San was stunned for a long time, "Oh, you said nice things to coax them and make them work in vain!"
"These people are local cowards. Even though the poor scoundrels scold them, they still recognize them in their hearts. Their appearance is more effective than the yamen!" Hu Dong said with a smile.
"Master Hu!" Huang San asked again, "But, I don't understand. What are we brothers doing all this for?"
On the long street, Hu Dong stopped, turned around and cursed, "Are you fucking stupid?"
Even though I was scolding, I felt that the scolding was in vain, and the people around me looked like they were not thinking clearly.
He patiently explained, "Look, after the land expropriation comes back, do you think someone will have to do the work? To knock down these shacks and build warehouses for the government, do they have to have someone to do it? Our government has just done so many things, and these are the benefits.
Isn’t it going to fall on us!”
"Don't you know how lucrative it is to work for the government? Let me tell you, the government gives us real money and silver, enough for us to live for ten years even if we can see the cracks in our fingers!"
"Besides, the warehouse along the river has been renovated, and it will be a loading area. Do you need people to unload the goods? Do you need people to load the goods?
"Do we need people to patrol the streets, do we need people to do fire prevention? These are all ways of making money, why can't you see them?"
"Besides, if we build all the warehouses and build a few more rooms, we can open a restaurant, a tavern, a hot spring pool, a gambling bureau, and an inn with girls.
Isn’t it all money?”
Everyone suddenly understood and looked at Hu Dong with admiration.
"Master Hu, what's the benefit of building a house?" Huang San asked again.
"A donkey is smarter than you!" Hu Dong laughed and scolded, "Let me ask you, how much money does the government give for a room?"
Huang San's eyes widened, and he stood guard with two eyeballs, counting in confusion for a long time.
"Don't worry about how much the government gives, let's just cut it in half!" Hu Dong said, "Half of ten thousand means five thousand, and one hundred thousand means fifty thousand!"
"This involves the resettlement of 5,000 households, warehousing for 20 miles along the river, and a business as big as a golden mountain. You still say you can't see any benefits?"
Just as he was talking, Ying Tianfu arrived.
The group of people immediately became good citizens. Hu Dong straightened his clothes and asked the soldiers at the door to help him pass the post.
Not long after, Mr. Fu Yin's words came from inside, please come in.
Hu Dong walked quickly into the palace's inner hall alone, holding a signed document.
"Students congratulating adults?"
Chen Dewen still looked elegant and steady, "Why are you so happy?"
"Congratulations, sir, for the land acquisition along the river, more than 2,000 of the 5,000 households have already signed a pledge!" Hu Dong smiled and pushed the heavy documents in his hand over.
"Ah, so fast?" Chen Dewen was shocked, stood up and asked, "In just a few days, half of the people have signed and agreed to the land acquisition?"
Hu Dong smiled and said nothing.
Chen Dewen looked through it carefully and looked at it in detail. The contract specifications in the document were absolutely impossible to falsify.
"Okay!" He clapped his hands heavily and said, "Xiao Hu, you are really capable!"
"To work for adults, you have to be able to do it even if you can't do it!" Hu Dong said with a smile, "Besides, the court's policies are good, and those poor people can't be so ignorant!"
Chen Dewen thought about it and suddenly asked seriously, "You didn't use any extraordinary means, did you?"
"Be honest!" Hu Dong said sternly, "Student, how can you let your reputation be tarnished by being favored by your master! The student summoned the nearby security chief and the lichang, and they all told the truth. The student also used his family's property to make
mortgage"
"Are you a mortgage?" Chen Dewen was puzzled.
"Those poor people are smart. The students told them that if their land was taken over in the future and they had no house to live in, they would take the students' houses. Only then did they believe it!" Hu Dong said with a smile.
"It's so hard for you!" Chen Dewen praised, "I have a public heart!"
"Actually, students have a heart for adults! Adults' affairs are students' affairs." Hu Dong said with a smile, "Students, how can we not work hard!"
"You, you, you are so sharp-tongued!" Chen Dewen said with a smile.
Hu Dong paused and continued, "There are still half of them. Give the students three days to collect them all. At that time, there is no need to hand over the houses to them. The students can organize manpower, push down those shacks, and bring people to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Build a warehouse!”
"There's no need to be in such a hurry, you have to let people live in the house first."
"My good lord, you are too soft-hearted. Without your good governance, they would not be able to live in a new house for hundreds of years, so why bother at this moment?" Hu Dong said with a smile, "Besides, this is the responsibility of the emperor's grandson.
This is an errand for you. His grandson Chisui is about to have a happy event. You are his valued minister. Using your achievements as a congratulatory gift would not only add to your joy, but also be unique!"
Chen Dewen thought for a long time and looked at Hu Dong, "Xiao Hu, with your brains, you really should be an official!"
"No, the Ming Dynasty was so prosperous that little cleverness like students could not be brought to the fore!" Hu Dong said with a smile.
"Okay, don't be suspicious of those who employ people, and don't be suspicious of those who are suspicious. Tomorrow you come to my official office and collect the waist badge documents. Once the collection is completed, construction will start immediately!" Chen Dewen said seriously, "Remember, people are not allowed to stop on the side of the new house, it must be on both sides.
Start work and make it perfect!”
"Yes!" Hu Dong responded, "But sir, when it comes to building new houses, you also know that Yingtian Mansion has not paid any money to the students. But the students have promised that the people will be paid every ten days, and now the work has started.
It’s not on the student’s account”
"That's all easy to say!" Chen Dewen laughed and said, "The Ministry of Accounts has just allocated four thousand silver dollars. You can come to the government office tomorrow to get the money." He said, suppressing his smile, "Remember, the accounts must be clear!"
"Don't worry, sir, the students will remember it clearly, brick by brick!" Hu Dong said with a smile.
After coming out of the government office, Hu Dong was in a great mood. Since it was dark, he didn't go out of the city at all and stayed in the city.
A few people had just rested in an inn, washed up and were ready to drink some wine and have a good time. Then, the brothers who were left behind in the outer city came angrily.
"Master Hu, there is someone who refuses to leave!" The person who came was also a rogue, with a savage face, gnashing his teeth in anger, and looking like someone who wanted to kill someone.
Hu Dong was sitting on the bed, heating his feet, and frowned, "Who is it?"
"A family named Geng!"
"Did you give them new houses as you mentioned?"
"I told you, but his family doesn't have oil or salt!" Popi's subordinate said, "The old man of that family said that it was private property left by their ancestors, and those who have the official land deed documents will not leave!"
"What else did he say?" Hu Dong asked gloomily.
"He just said he wouldn't move and scolded me half to death. If I hadn't read your instructions, I would have smashed him!" The ruffian scolded, "The Geng family won't move. The surrounding yards are neater and are private property.
, I don’t even know what I ate wrong, and I said I won’t move it!”
Private property is the biggest headache for Hu Dong.
Those private properties are not shacks by the river that can be knocked down with a kick. They are all blue bricks and white tiles. Real houses are recorded by the government and belong to the family's property passed down from generation to generation.
"Go and tell Lao Kuan, follow that"
"The Geng family!" the subordinate said.
"Let's talk to the Geng family and those private property owners who are unwilling to leave. Give them a bigger house. We will give them two houses each time they enter the courtyard. The money will be five silver dollars per head. Once you get the money, move quickly!"
"Hey!" The rogue agreed and was about to leave, but stopped at the door, "Master Hu, what if they still don't move?"
As he spoke, he scratched his head and said, "There are more than a hundred households with private property. What if they don't move?"
"Don't want to move?" Hu Dong looked sinister, "Let me ask first, how many people are in their family? How old are their children? Have they gone to school?"
"Got it!" Pippy chuckled.
