Mixed in the last days as a salted fish

Zhang Hao's first Spring Festival after his retirement was very lively. There was an endless stream of people visiting his home, which was no less than before his retirement, or even worse.

The federal government changes, and a major snow disaster is superimposed.

Many people, especially many business people, are full of uncertainty about the future. Everyone wants to get some inside information from Zhang Hao in advance, or get a safety guarantee.

But things backfired.

Zhang Hao neither leaked the relevant inside information nor gave any guarantees, leaving the visitors disappointed. Only a few people with a keen sense of smell were vaguely aware that a storm was coming.

On the last day of February, perhaps to appease the people, Zhou Jiangyu, the new governor who took office less than a month ago, suddenly announced the "Taoyuan Special Economic Zone" and opened the first batch of immigration applications on an emergency basis.

Meanwhile, Manila Airport.

Everyone in the Zhang family who was preparing to board the plane also watched the press conference.

Zhang Guoji, who came to see him off, immediately looked at his father and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Dad, didn't you say it would be announced in April? Why is it so early?"

Zhang Hao did not answer, but silently took out his mobile phone and called an old colleague, and soon learned the whole story.

“Taoyuan Special Economic Zone can no longer hide it, especially after the heavy snow disaster, many people are trying every possible means to use the back door to get immigration quotas in advance.

In order to ensure fairness to the greatest extent possible, to eliminate backdoor operations, and to cooperate with the subsequent public ownership transformation, we can only choose to advance the plan. "

Zhang Guoji nodded, and then focused on the immigration conditions:
"Dad, I don't understand. Why is it that immigration is not done as a family unit but as an individual?"

Zhang Hao reminded: "Think about the third and fourth children, and you will understand."

"What do you mean? What happened to the third and fourth children?"

Zhang Guoji's face was full of doubts.

Zhang Guoxuan couldn't help but remind: "Brother, the third and fourth children are theoretically single and not married. In other words, young people are more willing to apply."

Zhang Guoji immediately reacted: "Dad, what do you mean, the higher ups will give priority to young people?"

"Yes, after all, young people are the future."

Zhang Hao said earnestly.

"Then why not just mark it out?"

Zhang Guoji asked immediately.

"You don't even understand this? If it is marked out openly, then young people will be even less willing to get married in the future. How could the official do such a stupid thing?"

Zhang Hao said angrily.

Zhang Guoji immediately expressed confusion: "Isn't this contradictory? If you want to increase the marriage rate, shouldn't you encourage family immigration?"

"It's the lesser of two evils. In short, professionals are the first echelon, they are in urgent need; second are young people, the higher the education level, the easier it is to pass; and last are ordinary middle-aged and elderly people."

Zhang Hao briefly introduced.

In fact, he had participated in relevant discussions as early as two years ago, and he finally made the decision.

When Zhang Guoxuan heard this, he immediately became angry: "Didn't Zhou Jiangyu always keep saying that he wants to be fair? How is this fair?"

After all, he himself is middle-aged.

"Humph, how can there be absolute fairness in this world? The local area is pretty good. As long as the basic conditions are met, at least everyone can participate in the lottery.

In comparison, overseas is different, let me tell you this!The vast majority of the quotas allocated to each major division will fall into the hands of the elite. "

Zhang Hao said bluntly.

Zhang Guoji couldn't help but be stunned: "Dad, if the people above do this, aren't they afraid that the people below will rebel? Is this not a joke?"

"There is nothing we can do about it. Each region has its own autonomous region, and the central government has no right to interfere with them."

Zhang Hao spread his hands.

Leslie Cheung on the side could no longer bear it:

"Dad, these words are obviously a lie, right? I believe that as long as the central government makes up its mind, the people below will never dare to do anything random. At least it won't look too ugly."

Zhang Hao waved his hand impatiently: "I can't explain it to you. The central government has its concerns and plans, so don't make blind guesses one by one."

"Sure enough, the world is as black as a crow."

"Alas, in this world, no matter what time, the people at the bottom are..."

"Okay, the more you talk, the more irrelevant it becomes!"

Zhang Hao interrupted with a wave of his hand.

Not far away, Yang Huaqing saw the father and son arguing louder and louder, so he hurried over to persuade:
"Keep your voice down. This is the airport, not your home. Please be careful about the impact."

As soon as he finished speaking, the airport announcement rang.

Boarding is about to begin.

Zhang Hao immediately stood up, came to the eldest son, reached out and patted the other man on the shoulder:

"We are about to board the plane. You and Meihui should go back quickly! Dad still said what he said before. This year is a critical year and the situation is very chaotic. You should stay on Xinfeng Island honestly and don't interfere with things above."

"Dad, I will be careful." Zhang Guoji nodded solemnly, then turned to his younger brother and said, "Second brother, I will leave grandma and parents to you."

"Brother, don't worry."

Zhang Guoxuan nodded solemnly.

……

Four hours later, the plane landed smoothly at Taoyuan Airport. A large crowd of people from the old Zhang family cheered, occupying almost half of the seats on the passenger plane.

Since official immigration had not yet arrived, the airport was empty and not many passengers were visible.

As for Zhang Guodong and Zhang Guoliang, the brothers are still in Lijiapo. Due to tight air tickets, they may have to wait a few days before they can come over to meet up.

At the exit, Zhang Hao looked at the old acquaintance in front of him and couldn't help but feel surprised:

"Mayor Lu, why are you here?"

"Consul, madam, we meet again. I came here specially to pick you up. Welcome everyone to officially become a member of our Taoyuan Special Zone."

Lu Zheli said with a smile on his face.

Although the "old leader" in front of him has retired, he has been a consul for 20 years and has a network of contacts throughout the federation. Whether it is out of respect or actual interests, he has to come forward in person.

"Now I have no official position and I am light-hearted." Zhang Hao smiled and waved his hand, "Mayor Lu, we are about the same age, you should call me Lao Zhang! It sounds cordial."

"Okay, then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

Lu Zheli took advantage of the situation and agreed.

After some courtesy, Zhang Hao briefly introduced his family. Unfortunately, the other party would be leaving the Special Administrative Region soon, otherwise the relationship could be deepened.

"Mayor Lu, I forgot to congratulate you. As far as I know, Governor Zhou attaches great importance to your ability in infrastructure construction and plans to make you fully responsible for the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. From now on, I will call you Minister Zhou." Before stepping down, Zhou Jiangyu specifically talked to him about the list of cabinet members, and Lu Zheli was on the list.

Generally speaking, it can be said to be a huge leap from mayor to minister.

"Thank you for your good words!"

Lu Zheli had already had a premonition about this, so there was not much surprise on his face.

In order to keep it secret, he has stayed in Taoyuan Special Economic Zone for nearly 30 years. Now that the special zone is about to open up, the higher-ups will not let him stay in his post no matter what.

In fact, it is not just him this time, it is estimated that many of his colleagues will be transferred out of the Taoyuan Special Zone, not to mention killing the donkey, after all, most of them have been promoted.

Of course, if they had a choice, I'm afraid most people would be willing to stay. On the one hand, they are used to the underground environment, and on the other hand, it is also for safety reasons.

After taking the subway for half an hour, we finally arrived at Nanshan Park Station. Lu Zheli personally walked him to the door and then left without even drinking.

After entering the door, Zhang Hao couldn't help but show off to the old lady: "Mom, this will be our new home from now on. What do you think?"

Li Dajuan has seen videos and photos of the house, so she is not unfamiliar with it:

"It looks pretty good...but the place is not as spacious as the old house."

Kuang Wenhui shook her head: "My mother-in-law, such a big courtyard is really not too small. Let's just say this courtyard is bigger than the playground of an ordinary elementary school."

"Grandma, this is a special zone, it's different from the outside." Zhang Guoxin immediately echoed.

"What's different? Tell grandma?"

Li Dajuan said reluctantly.

Zhang Hao helped explain: "Mom, Guoguo is really not arguing, the land available for the entire special zone is only [-] square kilometers, which is about the same size as Shanghai.

The most critical thing is that agricultural land alone accounts for more than half of the area, and there is also one-third of forest vegetation and industrial land.

In comparison, the amount of residential land is pitifully small, accounting for less than one-sixth. If I want to use an idiom to describe it, I think the four words "every inch of land is precious" are perfect. "

Hearing this, Li Dajuan waved her hands repeatedly: "Stop talking. Mom doesn't understand what you are talking about. You are talking about three points, six points, and so on. It's almost confusing me."

"Ahem, Mom, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. You just need to know that this courtyard house and the large open space next to it belong to our family."

Zhang Hao quickly explained.

"I know, when will Little Pudding and the others build a new house?" Li Dajuan asked while visiting the yard.

As for Little Fat Tiger and a large group of children, they could no longer hold back and jumped up and down in the courtyard, exploring their unknown new home wantonly.

"We were planning to start construction before the Chinese New Year, but we encountered a heavy snowstorm, which caused a shortage of materials. This delay is expected to delay it for another two to three years."

Zhang Hao paused, then changed the topic:
"However, fortunately, our courtyard is large enough and the rooms are sufficient for the time being. There is no need to be too anxious. It doesn't matter if it takes a few years."

When Kuang Wenhui heard this, she quickly asked: "Can I buy commercial housing?"

The son-in-law's land does not belong to their family. She and her son and daughter-in-law have already discussed it and plan to buy two ordinary houses.

"Mom, don't worry, the commercial buildings are all built and can be traded normally."

"It's good if you can buy it." Kuang Wenhui breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhang Hao casually advised: "Mom, you can live with me for a while. There is no rush about the house. Just pick it up slowly."

"It's better to buy it early. What if the house is sold out?" Kuang Wenhui asked worriedly.

"Mom, you are too worried. There are only 50 immigrants in the first batch, and the houses are definitely enough to live in."

Zhang Hao tried to comfort him.

Zhang Guoxuan couldn't help but interjected: "Dad, what should I do if I can't afford a house? There should be public rental housing here, right?"

"My guess is correct, there are indeed public rental housing."

Zhang Hao nodded.

Kuang Wenhui was not interested in public rental housing and couldn't wait to ask: "How are the housing prices here? They shouldn't be as high as in the capital, right?"

"To be honest, I don't know the housing prices. After all, the special zone has not yet been fully opened to the outside world. It will probably take some time before relevant information comes out."

Zhang Hao shook his head.

In the dream, he was one of the thousands of people at the bottom. He did not survive until the day when the Taoyuan Special Economic Zone was opened to the public. He had never heard of any relevant rumors, let alone housing prices.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Guoxin patted her chest and promised: "Grandma, you don't have to worry about money. If uncle can't afford a house, I will give you a house directly."

"How can I let you give it away? Your uncle is not short of money."

Kuang Wenhui declined politely.

"Grandma, you don't have to be polite to me. I heard from my aunt that my uncle's factory was seriously damaged. I'm afraid I don't have much cash on hand, or I..."

Zhang Guoxin tried her best to persuade him.

Kuang Wenhui smiled happily: "Okay, grandma knows that you are filial, but you really don't need it. Even if your uncle can't come up with the money, grandma can still do it."

"What can I do?" Zhang Guoxin asked quickly.

"Thanks to your grandpa, he left a large amount of pension money to grandma during his lifetime, which should be enough to buy a house." Kuang Wenhui explained calmly.

My old man stayed in the Minde era for more than ten years, and his annual salary plus job bonus amounted to almost eight figures. After accumulating in this way, it finally turned into an eye-catching huge sum of money.

"Okay! If the money is not enough, grandma, you must tell me." Zhang Guoxin did not force any more.

"I know, little God of Wealth."

Kuang Wenhui joked with a smile.

On the other side, Yang Huaqing was allocating rooms. She had decorated the entire courtyard with her own hands, so she had already thought about the allocation plan in her mind.

The layout of the courtyard is very simple, mainly divided into four parts: southeast, northwest and northwest. Each direction has about three to five rooms.

"Second daughter-in-law, your family has the most children, so let's live in the east wing! Your dad, your grandma, your grandma, and Guoguo and I will live in the north room together. After the third and fourth children come over, they will live in the west wing. Wing room.”

"The kitchen and dining room are both in the south room. There is only one kitchen. From now on, our family will continue to eat together as before."

"By the way, there are three nanny rooms in the south room, which are prepared for the family's bodyguards and your grandma's caregivers. The other nannies are all found nearby and do not live at home."

Guan Tong asked curiously: "Mom, our family has found a nanny? Why don't we see anyone?"

"Before our family moved here, they usually came here once every three days. Their main job was to take care of the vegetable garden in the yard. I will notify them later to resume work as normal."

Yang Huaqing explained patiently.

"Ah? Have you planted vegetables in the garden?"

"Well, I planted it myself before. After we put our luggage away, we can go over and take a look. We should be able to eat the spinach and leeks. Let's make dumplings tonight."
