With the Weaving Bureau as the financial backer, the construction of the new city officially started in an instant. In order to no longer regard the new city as a slum of the old city as before, Gao Hanwen also specially planned an entertainment district, an education district and a vegetable market.
Xiaolian Tea House also naturally agreed to move in. Furthermore, specialized indoor and open-air theaters have been constructed using the recently introduced glass, especially large sheets of glass.
In addition, Gao Hanwen's own imperial examination training class will also establish a branch in Xincheng, and the new branch will be taught by the Taizhou School, the original Confucian school and Gao Hanwen's Luo Xue thought, and will no longer be oriented to the imperial examination, but It is directly oriented to vocational training. As for what it was, Gao Hanwen kept it secret and just let it out. With the instant success of the Hangzhou Provincial Examination, it is difficult to stop attracting attention and discussion.
“Have you bought a house yet?”
Since Gao Hanwen and Zhang Xunfu’s neighborhood was built first, it finally became popular again after the new plan came out. "Have you bought a house?" has become the most popular greeting in Hangzhou these days. Gao Hanwen finally revitalized his real estate.
On the street, members of the family of Zheng’s wife were getting married to their daughter, and the procession was playing music and playing, and they slowly circled around the main urban area of Hangzhou before leaving the city.
Because the dowry is usually not covered, it will be specially displayed to show the importance to the daughter and the strong family background. Naturally, along the way, it opened the eyes of the lower-class citizens who had suffered all their lives.
The people on the street were talking among themselves, "Two hundred dollars, two hundred dollars. Oh my god, this is the thickest dowry I have ever seen in my life. Who is this in-laws' family? I can't say. I can’t even hold my head up because of the prestige.”
“Look at your fortune. If you can receive such a large dowry, your in-laws’ family must have a generous betrothal gift. Their in-laws must also be the most prominent people in Hangzhou. How could you be so overwhelmed that you can’t hold your head up?” ”
Let’s talk about an old couple on the street who stared directly at the wedding party and ignored their quarrels.
At the sesame cake stall on the street next to them, a young couple was not as calm as the old couple, and they were already fighting near the stove.
"Three thousand taels, at most three thousand taels" The woman was pinned down by her husband and was punched twice on the back.
"It costs two hundred to carry a dowry. There are ten shops in the east new area of the city alone, and the number of pearl agates in the back is at least four and two in front." The man also felt uncomfortable. His hair was pulled by his wife with one hand, and his face was scratched.
"The new city in the east of the city is just the prefect who lost money and asked these rich people to fill the hole. What are the ten shops worth? I think they are not as valuable as our sesame cake stall. At most Three thousand five hundred miles, no more."
The woman did not admit defeat and gave her husband five hundred taels, which was a step forward for both parties.
“Oh, stop fighting, your sesame cakes are all burnt.” An old man in a long gown came over from a distance and tried to stop the fight. Because the salary of the master craftsmen of the Weaving Bureau has increased significantly recently and they have begun to wear silk and satin. They have no sons at home and are too lazy to cook for themselves, so they come to take care of the bakery stall every day.Yes, he is a regular customer.
"You don't know, this woman buried a thousand taels of silver in the dowry for nothing. Are you angry or not?" After the man finished speaking, he punched his mother-in-law again before letting go.
But at the moment when she let go, the woman didn’t show any weakness. She scratched the man’s face again but jumped behind the old man and complained loudly, “It’s not worth it, it’s just not worth it. You’re such a fool.” I just believe that the shops in Xincheng are worth a thousand taels."
Seeing that the conflict was about to escalate, the man finally noticed that all the pancakes in his pancake stove had gone bad, and sat there sulking. But the woman led the old man to sit down and quickly went to change the batch of sesame cakes so as not to neglect the guests.
