"Why are there so many people from the Qing Dynasty who came to buy a house recently? House prices have risen several times in a row. It's so fucking bad luck." Two patrol policemen were complaining in Dinghaigang County, the largest port in Ningshao District.

"Isn't it? It's coming in waves and never stopped. I wondered, isn't the Qing Dynasty and Shun Kingdom fighting a war? How come so many rich people come to buy a house?" A middle-aged policeman walked slowly on the street with his hands on his back. Wherever he went, there was nothing he could do in normal business, but he just greeted him enthusiastically, but some thieves with sting eyes dodged and slipped aside.

"After all, countries with a population of tens of millions must have some rich people. I have no doubt about this. What I wonder is why they all came to us to buy a house. My second boy is on the 16th after the New Year. He has not improved and can only learn a craft, but I want him to do the marriage first. I used to have a crush on the daughter of Lao Li's family. Her family runs a shop at the north gate. Everything is fine. Now I'm not going to buy a house in the city." Another policeman sighed.

These policemen in Dinghai are usually veterans who have been fighting for the East Coast for many years. The wealth they saved before they retired will naturally not be too bad, but the problem is that after getting married, the money seems to be not very abundant. Especially for those with several children, there is no land in the countryside, they can only stay at home. But it is better if this kind of "squat at home" is short, but if the time is long, they are always very uncomfortable when facing the married elder brother and sister-in-law, and have to move out.

But moving out is not that simple! If you go out, you can't sleep on the streets, right? Do you want to rent a house or buy a house? Then the question is, can you afford it or rent it? Can your income match the rent or purchase payment? With Ningbo's current rapid economic development and population growth rate, the supply and demand contradiction is indeed not eased for a while. It is indeed difficult for young people to rely on their own income to afford houses in counties and even suburbs, especially in big cities such as Yinxian, Shanggang and Dinghai.

Young people in Ningshao area now can only rent a house after getting married. Only after their income reaches a certain level can they buy a house they like through loans. These houses are basically apartment buildings, with designs coming from the local area. There are 20-30 households in a building, and the facilities are relatively modern, permanent property rights, so it is quite comfortable to live in.

Not that no one has criticized this model, believing that even if the Ningshao area has a large population and a small land area, the housing prices will not be able to afford it for more than ten years. The government should find ways to build more houses and suppress housing prices so that they can win the hearts of the people. However, the Southern Development Team government ignored this. They held most of the land in their hands, on the one hand to ensure that Ningshao's already limited arable land resources are not squeezed out, and on the other hand, they also forced local people to live in other places through this method.

The former purpose is easy to understand. Ningshao region now imports large quantities of grain every year, and food security is already very fragile. In addition, the popularity of tea and silk business over the years has led to more people giving up growing grain and turning to producing more affordable cash crops. Therefore, the government has had to transform a large amount of land into state-owned farms to specialize in growing grain, as a support for Ningshao's grain supply. In addition, because Ningshao region retained a large amount of traditional gentry, landlords, and privately owned land was also very large, these people are basically cotton and tea mulberry are mainly operating, and they have no reason to take out their own good farmland to build houses, and the government will not allow this. The protection of agricultural land was emphasized at any time.

Compared to the reason for protecting farmland, the latter purpose is somewhat unpredictable, but in fact it has been implemented intentionally or unintentionally. Over the years, the number of people who go out to make a living in Ningshao area has accumulated a huge amount of people because they are not easy to live. They are either single or take their families to Denglai, Liaodong, Heishui, Man and Mongolia and other places, which greatly enriches the local population and greatly improves their living conditions. Their success in turn has attracted more Ningshao children to go out to sea to make a living, rather than staying in Ningshao, where there are many people and narrow places to compete with others.

Of course, it is not without people from Ningshao area immigrating to the east coast, but this proportion is really low. After all, in their opinion, the east coast is far away from 108,000 miles away. After going there, I may never have the chance to go home in my life. I can’t go to the place where I grew up when I was a child, I can’t go to the ancestors to pay homage to my ancestors, I don’t know anything about my relatives and friends, and I can only bury my bones after I die. This is a huge obstacle for traditional Chinese people. Although Denglai, Manchuria and Mongolia are not close to each other, with the conditions of regular offshore liners now, it is not very difficult to go back and forth, at least it is much more convenient than cross-continental travel across the ocean, right?

The Southern Development Team is also trying to find ways to see how to change the changes to make people who are inclined to immigrate to the East Coast. They adhere to the superior intentions and keep advertising in newspapers and books. At the same time, they also subtly guide people's views through various other channels and encourage more people to immigrate to the East Coast. However, the effect seems not very good at the moment, and the number of people has indeed increased, but it is far from reaching the expectations of the superiors. There is no way, this matter cannot be urgent, so they can only rely on long-term publicity and then see how the effect is.

The two old and rough police officers in front of them were now feeling that "Dinghai Bureau is not easy". Naturally, they would not consider any major policies. They just think about the problem from the most intuitive feeling. Foreign merchants rushed in to buy houses, and they bought all good houses, and 99% of the people did not need to borrow from banks (in fact, it was difficult for them to get the loan), and they basically bought the full amount, which made them very angry. They believed that it was the hot speculation of these rich people in the Qing Dynasty and Shun Kingdom that led to the rising housing prices in Dinghai, Yin County and even Shangyu, causing them great trouble.

However, they never considered that these foreigners also brought a lot of funds to Ning Shao. The government regained a lot of funds by selling land and houses, so that it could carry out a series of matters related to local welfare, including the transformation of the old city, railway and road infrastructure construction, the formation of new troops, and technology introduction. Moreover, from the national level, this was also a harvest of the economy of the Qing and Shun Kingdoms. The funds they had finally accumulated through foreign trade were taken away by the immigration of the wealthy class. The national strategy would definitely be affected. This is the advantage of an old-fashioned power. If emerging countries cannot withstand this level, then everything will naturally be stopped, and if they withstand it, there will be a chance in the future.

Another ridiculous thing is that the existence of Ningbo has improved the political ecological environment of the Qing Dynasty and Shun to a certain extent. The officials who failed the struggle are no longer in panic. They can find ways to immigrate to the east coast, or to exile to the east coast. Now that the borders between the two countries are open, this is not very difficult. For some merchant families who have fallen in the officialdom and may be liquidated in the future, they can also save some of their property by selling their property to immigrate to the east coast, instead of waiting for someone to search and exterminate their families as before. It is also a good thing. In the city of Jiaozhou, Denglai, there is a street where these people live. They bought houses here and there are also many deposits in the bank, including Han officials and Manchu officials. They use mahjong as a pastime, and at the same time cursing the Qing government and some imperial officials (such as Soetu, Mingzhu, etc.), which is also a very interesting thing.

The governments of Denglai and Ningshao are basically welcome to these people because they brought a lot of funds, which is conducive to local construction. Although the influx of these funds disrupted the local economic order and increased the cost of living for ordinary people, to be honest, they did not take it much. Inflation is good, and I wish you all immigrated to the local area. The colonial government did not serve the people of the colonial people. The chief officers of the two major development teams in the south were clear about this and did not make any mistakes in politics.

"Let your boy not be an apprentice, go to the factory. I heard that the boss intends to lift part of the trade ban with Shunguo, and many factories are recruiting people. Your Erlang is a primary school person at least, and his future should be good and he can learn skills." The policeman with his hands behind his back said: "Of course, if you are willing to go overseas, it may be better. The sailors I have heard said that those who graduated from primary school can be cadres in Diu, Brunei and other places, and all kinds of talents are extremely scarce. Your second boy is in the past, and it is not a pleasure to be able to be a government clerk."

"Releasing the ban on trade in Shun? Is there any such thing?" Another policeman was shocked and said in a puzzled tone: "But what you said is not impossible. I guess it is impossible for weapons, military funds, war horses, etc. to a short period of time, but general commodities are really possible. Otherwise, we will suffer losses if we always ban it like this. Humph, I remember that some people were still advocating that Shunguo relied on trade with us. As long as we sanction them, they would kneel down and beg for mercy.

It's easy to win. What's the result? Did they surrender? Are they still continuing to fight against the group of gray grandsons of Nanming! Some people are blindly optimistic. The huge benefits of trade sanctions over the destruction of Nanming are not worth mentioning. In my opinion, we might as well be united in the first place, joining the Zheng family of Fujian, Li family of Guangdong, and King Lu to send troops to Jiangxi and Hunan, so that Shunguo could not take into account both ends and feel pain, so that they could surrender. Unfortunately, they had missed this opportunity."
