Yan Ci got off the carriage with Wang Xuecheng, breathing the fresh air of the Imperial College.

Wang Xuecheng said with disgust: A stale old pedant's sour smell!

Hahaha, Brother Wang is a bit of a chicken belly! Yan Ci laughed at him.

Wang Xuecheng said logically, I'm an employee of Shanhe Academy, so of course I can't speak for the Imperial College.

But don't be prejudiced either. Come on, get out of the platform that way.

The two walked out of the station.

I thought that Guozijian was located in the valley, so it must be very remote.

When I went out to have a look, I found that there were indeed not many people. Anyway, it must not have as many people as Xinmin County. But definitely not remote.

Rows of neat houses, criss-crossing streets, and newly built communities...

Some shops are already open for business, and there are still people patronizing.

Along the way, Wang Xuecheng muttered: The houses here are more beautiful than those in Xinmin County.

At least the exterior wall looks more beautiful than the houses in Xinmin County.

Yan Ci said: The earliest houses in Xinmin County have been built for more than ten years, and the houses here are newly built, so of course they can't compare.

The two walked up the mountain all the way.

The Guozijian was built on the hillside, and the buildings were hidden in the woods, shadowy and indistinct.

Perhaps in order to attract more people to apply for the Imperial College, the gate of the Imperial College is open to everyone, and they can come in and out at will.

The two followed a group of spectators into the Imperial College campus.

It has a completely different style from Shanhe Academy.

If Shanhe College is youth, it is vitality.

Then Guozijian is solemn and progressive.

Wang Xuecheng said with disgust: Sure enough, it is as serious as ever.

Better than the Guozijian school building in the city. Yan Ci said objectively, I heard that you can climb mountains.

The two walked through one school building after another, through the back door, and walked into the back mountain.

The climbing stone steps wind up to the top of the mountain.

Climb to the top of the mountain in one breath,

Looking at the mountains and small mountains, the entire Guozijian, streets, houses...all come into view.

Strictly said: This place can definitely develop.

There are no shops in front of the village, and it is far from the capital. How to develop? Wang Xuecheng asked.

Yan Ci raised his eyebrows and smiled, pointing to the ant-sized people at the foot of the mountain, and the farthest station, With these people and the station, this place can definitely develop. Brother Wang, we came here by car from Xinmin County, but Did it take an hour?

Wang Xuecheng shook his head, Not an hour, but about half an hour.

Look, it only takes more than half an hour to get here from Xinmin County. The rent here is cheap, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, quiet and elegant, and it's a good place to study! I'm a little bit tempted, and I want to move here to retreat for a while.

Yan Ci was a little excited.

Xinmin County is very nice and lively.

Sometimes it is too lively to make people unable to calm down to read and write books.

Especially for those who lack concentration, it is very easy to be seduced by the colorful world in Xinmin County, and lose their minds by playing with things. Always when it comes to exams, I will cram my feet.

Guozijian, there are not many people, the environment is quiet, and life is considered convenient.

It is a good choice to rent a house to study here.

This place is much better than Hongling New Village.

The biggest problem of Hongling New Village is noisy. Three teachings and nine currents gathered in one place, one can imagine how chaotic the place was.

After going down the mountain, Yan Ci took Wang Xuecheng to look at the house.

Relying on the pen fee these years, Yan Ci is not short of money.

He bought five suites in one go.

Originally, he wanted to buy a few more sets, but the sales office refused to sell them to him.

We have a rule that one account can only buy a maximum of five units for this kind of small two-story building. If there are more than five units, there will be suspicions of driving up prices and hoarding strange dwellings.

Yan Ci is very sorry.

These days, there are times when you have money and you can't spend it.

Instigated by Yan Ci, Wang Xuecheng also bought a set, which was in the same phase, next to the Guozijian, and the location was excellent.

After buying a house, the money Wang Xuecheng has saved over the years has basically bottomed out.

He said with emotion, It's hard to save money, but easy to spend it. I only saved two hundred taels of silver in a few years, and I spent it all in one day.

Yan Ci laughed, If you rent out the house tomorrow, you will get your money back soon.

The two went to learn more about the rental market. Currently, the rent here is two-thirds cheaper than in Xinmin County.

The rent is so cheap.

It's just the beginning, and the rent will definitely rise in a year or two.

I still have to buy furniture and invite people to look at the house. In this way, based on the current rent, I won't make much money in a year.

It's fine to make some money. Yan Ci thought about it very much.

...

Cao Dalang took his daughter-in-law and squeezed a double-track carriage, and everyone lost a lot of weight, and his heart ached for him.

Is it easy for him to raise some meat?

At first, because of the war in the north, Cao's family followed his fellow villagers as refugees in the capital for many years, and Cao Dalang opened his eyes.

It can be said that the capital opened another window for his life.

The war is over and the family returns home.

But Cao Dalang has never forgotten the capital, and has been thinking about coming to the capital again.

In the second year of Jingming, he used the excuse of selling oil, and finally got the consent of his parents, and returned to the capital with his wife.

The oil is sold quickly, making a small profit.

In fact, even if he doesn't make money, he doesn't care.

The purpose of him and his wife coming to the capital is to gain knowledge and to find opportunities.

What kind of opportunity is considered an opportunity, the couple did not have any specific ideas in mind before coming.

It's just a vague idea that there are many opportunities in the capital, and they can always find them.

When they arrived in Xinmin County, they heard that everyone was discussing Guozijian, housing prices around Guozijian, and double-track carriages.

Snapped!

Cao Dalang slapped his thigh.

He said to his wife: The opportunity has come, let's go to the Imperial College to buy a house.

I heard that Guozijian is very remote. If you want to buy a house, you should choose Xinmin County.

The housing prices in Xinmin County are so high that we can't afford them.

The couple are foreigners, and it is very troublesome to get a mortgage, and the amount that can be borrowed is very small.

With the couple's financial resources, buying a house in Xinmin County is no longer difficult, but simply impossible to buy.

Cao Dalang's daughter-in-law is envious of the bustle of Xinmin County, and the high rent, but she is ashamed.

Unless the shares of Huanyu Transportation are sold.

When the couple were refugees in the capital, they secretly bought three shares of Huanyu Transportation behind the back of their family members, totaling ninety taels. Then you can get a dividend every year.

The couple can save money, thanks to the dividends of Huanyu Transportation shares.

This matter is also the most correct decision the couple have made over the years.

Just because they bought the shares of Huanyu Transportation when they were in the capital, the couple are fascinated by the capital and firmly believe that the capital is a blessed place.

With money saved up, he didn’t buy land or build a house in his hometown, and he only wanted to buy property in the capital.

In the future, the children will be sent to the capital to study, and the whole family will move to the capital to open an oil press.

Happy!

Cao Dalang was very firm, I heard people say that once the double-track carriage is opened, the house at the Imperial College will definitely go up within a few years.

His daughter-in-law was a little hesitant, Then go and have a look?

Cao Dalang was straightforward, Take a double-track carriage to see.

The couple lined up to buy tickets at the sports car station early in the morning. After queuing for nearly two hours, they finally bought a ticket for the day.

Squeezed into the ordinary carriage, smelling the sour smell, lost a lot of weight, and finally arrived at the destination.

The couple passed by Yan Ci and Wang Xuecheng.

Cao Dalang's daughter-in-law said with emotion: This place is full of scholars! The two people who passed by just now seem to be masters of talent.

This is the Guozijian, how do you say that, there is no white man coming and going.

You should also let Dabao study more. Even if you don't pass the imperial examination, you can do something else. Didn't you say that as long as you can read and calculate, you can work anywhere and you will be paid one or two dollars a month.

It's more than one or two wages for a good job.

Then Dabao should be sent to study, preferably in the capital, and it's free.

Cao Dalang's daughter-in-law has a lot of resentment about leaving the capital and returning to her hometown.

I'll talk about studying later, let's look at the house first.

The couple walked into the newly built community, and the rows of neat and beautiful small second floors immediately attracted their attention.

Cao Dalang's daughter-in-law muttered to herself, I can live in such a good house in this life, and I will die in peace.

Don't say dead, dead, say more auspicious words. You can also look at the house, let's go, let's go in and have a look together.

It's a nice house.

There are two floors, the first floor has a kitchen, toilet, bathroom, plus a main room and two bedrooms.

The six bedrooms on the second floor are relatively small. A single room is enough.

Each house has windows and is very bright.

Cao Dalang's wife whispered, This house is nice, but I don't know how much it costs.

It's definitely cheaper than Xinmin County.

If you buy a house, you have to buy furniture, find someone to guard and clean, and help the scholars cook and wash. Dabao's father, instead of asking someone to look after the house, let me come. I can do these things and save money. The wages of the next person.

Cao Dalang was speechless, I haven't bought the house yet, why are you in a hurry.

Cao Dalang's daughter-in-law looked excited, I just like this house, and I don't want to go back.

In my hometown, in the remote countryside, I can see the end of decades at a glance.

If she had never been to the capital, never seen it before, never worked in a refugee camp office, and never proved her ability, Cao Dalang's daughter-in-law would always be the same, peaceful and happy.

Living in the countryside for decades, you can live a good life.

However, the knowledgeable daughter-in-law of Cao Dalang has more pursuits and higher goals.

She didn't want to spend the rest of her life in the countryside.

She is going to the capital to lay the foundation for the children.

There will be land, and there will be houses.

Relying on the three shares of Huanyu Transportation, the family's food and drink can always be solved.

She still has a lot of strength, can look at the house, can also do manual work, and can even look at the house for others to earn a wage.

In such a big capital city, there are many opportunities.

As long as you work hard and work hard, you won't starve to death.

The houses in Guozijian are very cheap, so cheap that they are only one-fifth of the house price of the same type in Xinmin County.

Together, the couple can buy a small apartment with a total of six bedrooms.

Buy it, buy it! Cao Dalang's wife kept whispering in Cao Dalang's ear.

When it comes to buying a house, women are always more straightforward than men.
