Therefore, the eastern suburbs are far superior to the western suburbs in terms of geography, environment and distance to workplaces, but the housing prices in the western suburbs are more expensive than those in the eastern suburbs.
Who can reason with this?
At this time, compared to the city which was undergoing the transformation from high-rise buildings to bungalows, the situation outside the East City was much simpler.
It is like a town with a crisscross pattern. After leaving the city through the Xincao Gate and crossing the bridge, you will step onto the riverside road. On one side of the road is the moat surrounding the outer city of Bianliang, and on the other side is the street.
There are three- and four-story houses, four- and five-story houses, and two- and three-story houses - what they have in common is that they are basically no longer made of wood, but reinforced concrete.
Originally there were many wooden houses in the eastern suburbs, but they have now been expropriated and demolished by the court. According to the plan, a market town was built extending one mile outside the city.
Although the town is not as prosperous as the city, it has everything you need, and all kinds of shops are no worse than those in the city.
There are notices at various intersections and outside some government offices outside the city.
The eastern suburbs were under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture. At the intersections leading to Xincao Gate, Datong Gate, and Chaoyang Gate, and across the bridge into the city, several yamen runners came over with notices and rice porridge.
Seeing this scene, the people around stopped immediately. Some shop owners nearby stopped watching their shops, some workers who were going to work in the city chose to be late, and even the children who did not go to school and ran barefoot nearby came to join in the fun.
"Another notice."
"Let's see what new policies the court has implemented."
"Good news! The imperial court is recruiting workers on a large scale to build roads and canals."
"Really? A lot of places in the city are full right now. Only my eldest child has found a job, and my second and third children have nothing to do every day. I'm so worried about them."
"It says here that if you want to go, just go and sign up with the local government. You'll be building roads and canals, and the pay is generous."
"That's great."
Many people immediately started talking about it.
In recent years, Bianliang has become increasingly prosperous and its economy has become increasingly developed, attracting countless people to come and work.
The problem is that in a non-industrial era, even if your economy develops rapidly, where are so many jobs?
So with the increasing population in recent years, it has become increasingly difficult to find a job in Bianliang.
Although this problem will be easily solved in the future as the first industrial revolution unfolds, there is still a severe shortage of labor at least for now.
Now the imperial court has started recruiting workers again, which is definitely very good news for the excess labor force in Bianliang.
For a time, common people rushed to tell each other, and long queues formed outside the Kaifeng government office and the Ministry of Works office, which was responsible for recruiting workers. They were all people who came to sign up to participate.
