Chapter 609, Zheng's Fiasco

 Naturalized citizens such as Wang Fuyu, who was the first to be recruited, have a technical level of almost level 3, and can enjoy a 40% discount. With a bank loan, they can move in immediately.

As for bank loans, the interest rates are not high and can be paid off in up to two years.

In fact, the first batch of naturalized immigrant families to apply to live in the naturalized immigrant community exceeded 2,000 households.

After nearly 10,000 naturalized residents moved into the community, the newly built streets in Xinghai City became bustling.

Since Xinghai City has opened some industrial operations, various shops on the streets have also opened. Even at 10 o'clock in the evening, people are still coming and going on the streets, not to mention that there are inspections and patrols at any time. In terms of safety, there are still many people coming and going.

It is much better than Gwangju Prefecture.

The most important thing is that due to the implementation of the health and epidemic prevention provisions of the Xinghai Kingdom, the hygienic habits of many naturalized citizens have been changed by force, making Xinghai City one of the cleanest cities in this plane.

There is no doubt that compared to Gwangju Prefecture, which is close to the war, the market is dirty and messy, and you will step on cow dung and dog feces when you go out, the current Xinghai City is as clean and beautiful as a paradise.

It is conceivable that this is very attractive to those maritime merchants.

In fact, many maritime businessmen have approached Chen Liuxiang to inquire about purchasing houses in Xinghai City.

In the past, the Senate was worried that it could not control the infiltration of spies from outside forces. In addition, the senators attached great importance to their own safety. Generally speaking, the senators were not willing for outsiders to purchase real estate in Xinghai City.

But the problem is that if you want to make Xinghai City prosperous, it is inevitable for outsiders to move in.

Taking into account some problems that would arise in later generations, when formulating the regulations on the purchase of real estate by outsiders, the elders added some restrictions. For example, foreign buyers must go to the household registration office to register, must pay property tax every year, etc.

We have done everything possible to limit the occurrence of domestic real estate speculation in Xinghai.

As Xinghai's restrictions on home purchases by foreigners were lifted, in just a few days, the number of maritime merchants who came to Chen Liuxiang to inquire about home purchases increased by thousands.

To be honest, there is still some debate on this issue within the Senate.

Some elders suggest selling land directly, building houses, etc., and leaving it to the home buyers themselves. In this case, new construction companies can be formed outside the construction department, which will help activate the construction market.

Some other elders suggested that Xinghai Kingdom, like the naturalized community, directly repair the houses, or at worst design several more styles and specifications, ranging from community houses to townhouses to forest-style single-family villas.

The advantage of this is that it makes it easier to monitor the migrant population and make more money at the same time.

Of course, those outsiders may not like the houses designed by the elders.

After all, people often have different ideas.

In the end, the Senate brought this matter under its unified control, that is, you can buy the land yourself or design it yourself, but the construction team must be sent by the Xinghai Kingdom.

In this way, we can prevent some spies from digging into basements and evading the supervision of the investigation department.

Of course, the houses designed and built by Xinghai Kingdom can also be purchased.

As for the price, it's definitely not cheap, and it's often dozens of times more expensive than a naturalized citizen.

This is nothing, after all, the land in Xinghai City is limited.

This is just like the difference between 2 rings, 3 rings and 567 rings in later generations.

As long as you can buy a house or land at this time, even if you have to pay some taxes and fees, it will be much cheaper than those who will buy a house later when Xinghai City expands outward.

At this time, after slowly preparing for a long time, the Zheng regime of Jiaozhi State finally sent troops, perhaps due to the autumn harvest.

This time, the Zheng regime did not know whether it was to train its own family or something, but it sent a young man in his 30s as the general to suppress bandits, leading a total of 30,000 land and sea troops, preparing to remove the bandits and station them on the Jiaozhi Bank.

's lair.

Obviously, the Zheng regime is not sensitive to external information, or it is not well-informed.

At this time, even the Goryeo State far in the north knew about the alliance between the Zhaowu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the Xinghai Kingdom. However, the Zheng regime, which was much closer, had not received any news at all. It can be said that it had learned some of the official styles of the late Ming Dynasty.

Essence.

Of course, if it were replaced by the coal mine development team that had just arrived at Hongji Coal Mine, the Zheng regime would have been able to survive this wave.

But now Hongji Coal Mine has formed a sanitation layout with five forts centered on the wharf and port.

An entire infantry division is stationed in the black coal city formed by the Hongji coal mine and port. With such a strong strength, it can be said that the 30,000 people of the Zheng regime can completely provide food for them.

You must know that the army of the Zheng regime is still composed of elites, supplemented by the recruitment of a large number of peasants and soldiers during wartime.

And such an army must not have much combat effectiveness.

Among this bandit-suppressing army, the only ones with real fighting power are the two thousand servants under the command of the commander, while the rest are farmers captured from everywhere.

Under such circumstances, the bandit-suppressing army suffered a tragic defeat that they did not expect after arriving at the Hongji Coal Mine.

When they raised all kinds of shabby weapons and charged towards the outer diamond forts, the shells fired from the projectile cannons were the first to clear the blanks in the crowd, and then the bullets rained down,

They fell to the ground one by one.

In order to save artillery shells, the 5th Division, which did not use the 88 field guns, easily defeated the invading bandit army and captured its commander, a young man who had been completely frightened.

As the grandson of the true master of the Zheng family regime, Zheng Guoqi can be regarded as a mature young man among the thousands of people in the main branch of the Zheng family.

He had conducted trade with the Folangji people on behalf of the Zheng family many times, and had led his army to defeat several enemy armies on the southern battlefield. He was considered well-informed in this era.

But the previous battle completely subverted his imagination.

The southern army also has a unit of firecrackers. It is said that the muskets were sold to the southern army by the vassal country under Folangji.

Those advanced firecrackers are indeed sharp. Once they appear on the battlefield, Zheng's army will be easily driven back by their three consecutive shots.

He used to think that such a firecracker was quite powerful.

But in this battle, at such a long distance, the bullets fired by the enemy and the bursts of fire from time to time made his army completely unable to backhand, and could not even get close.

For such a terrifying firearm to be owned by a group of thieves, God is simply blind.

After learning that the captured coach turned out to be the grandson of Prince Zheng of the Zheng regime, the former captain of the coal mine development team and now the mayor of Black Coal City immediately reported the news together with the commander of the fifth division.
