After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 1462 An idea worth hundreds of thousands of dollars

Yao Wang nodded: "Well, in your opinion, isn't it too fast to approve the second phase? The first phase of the temple has not even been built yet."

You Rongzhi smiled and said, "This is actually a small project. There are only twelve buildings in the first phase. Which palace the Imperial Household Department has handled is not more difficult to build than this one? As long as the materials are available and more manpower is added, it will not be difficult to complete it within half a year."

The houses in Tianshui City are different from those elsewhere. The lines are thick and solid, and stone is used mostly, without the need for overly complicated carvings.

King Yao looked at him and suddenly laughed, "My dear You, you are too impatient."

You Rongzhi was embarrassed and said, "The king already knows."

Yao Wang stroked his beard and said, "Why spend money? Alas, among all the civil and military officials in the court, you are the only one who does not need to buy a house to show your feelings."

You Rongzhi blushed with excitement: "Your Majesty, your eyes are as bright as autumn water!"

King Yao picked up his pen and wrote quickly: "Okay, I have already reviewed the plan for the second phase of Youhu Villa, and I will approve it now. You will be in charge of supervising this process, and still ask all departments to cooperate and get it approved as soon as possible."

Every house sold is a token of allegiance.

For him, the more tokens of his allegiance, the better.

And this action is so fast. Who knows if Qingyang will be able to deal with it once he reacts?
You Rongzhong responded with full energy:
"Yes!"

After he left, King Yao looked at his receding back and let out a long sigh.

The old palace servant Qiu Long behind him smiled and said, "Master You is also very motivated."

"Him?" Prince Yao snorted. "He came here in a hurry today just to let me know that although he didn't buy the first phase of the lakeside villa, he has reserved the first row of the second phase. So his loyalty to me is definitely not weaker than that of the Qing Palace, the Yuwen family, and Bai Tan."

Qiu Long nodded: "It seems to be like this."

When the monarch speaks, all he needs to do is agree.

Yao Wang half-closed his eyes and said, "Then tell me, why didn't he buy the first row of the issue, but Bai Tan got it first?"

"This one……"

"You Rongzhi is a wise but indecisive man, not as decisive as Bai Tan." At this point, King Yao remembered the last time he summoned these two ministers to discuss the death of Xue Zongwu. You Rongzhi always said that the evidence was incomplete, while Bai Tan immediately directed his suspicion towards Qingyang.

There was one thing King Yao did not say:

When it comes to dealing with the Qingyang Regent, my most capable minister is not as good as a foreign businessman.

"Alas, foreign businessmen are still capable."

Qiu Long added: "The money in the box has been checked and is correct."

King Yao hummed.

Qiu Long then said, "Your Majesty, He Xiao made a lot of money by selling these houses."

Yao Wang looked at the list in his hand and said generously, "He only needs a few hundred thousand taels. Let him go. Don't let him think that I am reluctant to give him even such a small amount of money."

"Yes."

King Yao glanced at the old palace servant and knew that what the loyal old servant wanted to say was that this was the money that should have been given to him as a subject who had been loyal to him.

But it was taken away by a foreign businessman named He.

"Just think of it as me paying for his idea. Tell me, how much is an idea that can deal with Qingyang worth?"

King Yao was very proud that he could get such a talented person to serve him with just a small amount of money.

"This..." The old palace servant was stumped. "It's priceless. I am Wang Yingming! It's a pity that I have to wait another four months for the balance."

King Yao raised his cup and drank some water to moisten his throat: "Actually it may not take that long, but He Xiao is worried about his safety in Tianshui City, so he came up with this method to ensure his safety."

The money of King Yao is still with He Xiao, so he will be more concerned about his safety. Otherwise, if He Xiao dies, the money promised to King Yao will be gone.

This was a layer of insurance that He Xiao took out for himself. After all, the person he wanted to offend was the Regent of Qingyang.

"I am Wang Tongming. He Xiao's little tricks cannot be hidden from my discerning eyes!"

The old palace servant did give King Yao a reminder. He picked up the list on the table and took a look at it. He suddenly had an idea and called Zhao Song in and said, "Tell He Xiao to report the second phase together with the selling price."

During the first phase of approval, various departments only reviewed Yangshan’s qualifications, materials, drawings, etc., but did not control the price of the Jingshe.

After dozens of rounds of fierce bidding at the auction, Prince Qing bought the first building at a high price of 38,000 taels, but this was not the ceiling of the price. In order to grab the last lakeside building in the first phase, Bai Tan paid 50,000 taels in one go.

The second and third rows, which were in much less advantageous locations, were later sold for 20,000 to 30,000 taels.

No matter how slow-witted King Yao was, he noticed that the price of Youhu Villa was rising rapidly.

The reason is simple, it is nothing more than “supply exceeds demand”.

So, with the demonstration and leading effect of the first phase, will the second phase of Villa Garden sell poorly or be a cold reception?
Impossible, the price will only go up.

Yao Wang said in a low voice: "The price of the land is one thousand taels of silver, haha."

He had sold the south bank of Youhu Lake for 1,000 taels, just to embarrass Qingyang Regent. That place was in the suburbs, and although the scenery was beautiful, the land was worthless.

Who would have thought that He Xiao could come up with so many tricks, and the effects were so great.

The land price of one thousand taels is indeed too little.

"Yes!" Zhao Song responded, and then added, "He Xiao also begged the king to send more guards to Youhu Villa. He was worried that someone would attack the construction team."

King Yao hummed and said, "This worry makes sense. I will send him two teams to guard the south bank."

Youhu Villa was about to get busy, would Qingyang Supervisory State just stand by and watch? Prince Yao didn't believe it.

He Xiao is indeed a meticulous person, but if he wants to get things done in Tianshui City, he must rely on the power of King Yao.

"Is there anything else?"

"He Xiao plans to buy a house in Tianshui City and asks Fan Shuang for help."

Yangshan Chamber of Commerce wants to make money in Yao Country and expand its business and connections in Yao Country, so of course they will carry out normal business activities. King Yao nodded and said, "Go down."

At this time, the palace servants came to report:

"Envoy Liang wants to see you!"

King Yao knew very well that Liang came to visit because of the Qian Xiaohao case.

In the past one or two years, the relationship between him and the temple has been a little strained. I think Liang Zhushi has also made many bad comments to the goddess. But King Yao also has his own difficulties. The national treasury is empty and the expenditure is insufficient. It is difficult to maintain the hundreds of temples, let alone build new ones.

King Yao took a deep breath and sat upright: "Announce!"

……

At night, Tianshui City is still prosperous.

When Bai Tan returned home from the Ministry of Justice, Ding'an Street was the only way he could pass.

This old street is next to the main street and is lined with shops. It is bustling with people almost from sunrise.

But it also has the same problems as many old streets in Tianshui City:
Too narrow.

Such a busy street can only accommodate two cars abreast, especially after the old tree intersection, there is a ten-foot-long section that can only accommodate a single carriage. For this street, the land office specially set up a "crossing soldier" post and deployed several people to direct traffic here.
