The problem is, when Dai Zhixin inquired about the price of the land deed with confidence, her face immediately collapsed.
Land deeds vary in size and location.
The largest land deed has ten acres of land, enough to build a courtyard with five entrances.
The smallest land deed is a hundred square meters, which can be used to build a private house.
The location is good, some are close to the city lord mansion and meeting halls such as Xuanyang Square and Mingyang Square, and the others are far away from the root of the city wall.
Not to mention the traffic, there are problems with lighting alone.
But even if it is the smallest one, even those located at the base of the city wall, a land deed will start at one hundred taels. As for those good land deeds, such as a ten-acre land in Xuanyang Square, it costs 100,000 spirit stones.
Yes, the currency units here have all become spirit stones, which are simply not affordable for mere mortals like them.
Dai Zhixin had a bitter face, and couldn’t help but scold Feng Shao in her heart. Why is this guy setting the price of the title deeds so high? He is simply a profiteer who eats people and does not spit out his bones!
She completely forgot that her goal was to become this kind of profiteer.Although her family is rich, she doesn’t have much money.
In order to gain a foothold in Wuling City, Dai Zhixin had already sold all the things she could sell on her body before coming here and scraped together more than two thousand taels of silver.
The money can barely buy a small courtyard-sized land in a better location, but where does the money for building the house come from? If the money for building the house is also included, where would the location of her land be?
Dai Zhixin was sad.
Could it be that as a transmigrator, she still had to go back home even when she came here?
No!
She can’t be so pessimistic, she can’t be so negative!
No money, right? If she has no money, then she only needs to earn it! Although she doesn’t know much about this other world, with her knowledge from the modern world, can’t I still play with this ancient economics?
Thinking of this, Dai Zhixin cheered up again and continued to inquire about more information. Soon, she heard another piece of information that was useful to her.
The council is recruiting city administrators. As long as one has the ability, no matter what the background is, the council will accept them!
Dai Zhixin’s eyes lit up immediately. Isn’t this just for her? She is a dignified traveler, can’t she manage a city?
That night, Dai Zhixin fell asleep full of anticipation.
Early the next morning, Dai Zhixin went straight to the meeting hall with great interest.
This meeting hall is a novelty for people in this other world.
The city lords of ordinary cities are not so interested in managing a city.
For them, managing a city is all about how to collect taxes.
As for urban planning, people’s livelihood, construction, food supply, and so on, there is no need to worry about it at all, ordinary people can handle it by themselves.
So there is no need to set up a special department to manage the city.
But Feng Shao didn’t think so.
For other city lords, the city is their foundation. But for Feng Shao, cities are careers. Since it is a career, it must be done properly, and it must be done well. Wuling City is not his goal, only his starting point.
Therefore, Feng Shao is particularly concerned about urban management issues that other cities have never considered, so he especially recruits urban management talents from the outside world.
In order to be able to recruit qualified talents, Feng Shao also specially formulated a standard. Only those who meet the criteria can be recruited.
Many people who think they are very capable volunteered to go up but were declined. The reason for the decline is also very simple, that is, it does not meet the requirements.
Many people are confused. How difficult can it be to manage a city? Why are they not eligible?
Bai Shuanghua, who is in charge of recruiting personnel, has almost turned gray in the past few days.
She originally thought that city management was very simple, but after studying with Feng Shao for a while, she realized that the real city management was completely different from what she had imagined. There are all aspects of issues that need to be considered, just like a housekeeper.
It is precisely because of this experience that Bai Shuanghua knows what kind of talents this city management needs.
But these days, who are the applicants?
Everyone just talks about how to make money when they come up.
What collection of agricultural tax, business tax, and corvee? All kinds of things are dazzling.
Some people also proposed to establish a business name and money bank in the name of Wuling City, based on which a trade network radiating to the surrounding area was established, so as to make a lot of money.
The latter made Bai Shuanghua quite excited, so he was temporarily recruited into the meeting hall. As for the former ones who only talk about how to collect taxes and corvee… just let them go back from where they came from.
After a few days in a row, there were quite a few applicants, but few met the requirements. Seeing that Wuling City was opened, but even the officials were not assembled, Bai Shuanghua felt so worried!
This morning, Bai Shuanghua was sitting in the conference hall as usual, but she was already thinking about what to have for lunch.
She thought she would have to sit all morning, but at this time a richly dressed woman walked in excitedly, and as soon as she came up, she shouted at Bai Shuanghua, “I want to apply!”
Bai Shuanghua: “…”
This is the first time she has met a female applicant.
We are currently recruiting. CN/KR/JP Translators/MTLers are welcome!
