Dragon's Origin

However, those who regretted it didn't have much time to dwell on it, because in less than three days, Mei'er gave everyone another opportunity.

What was sold before was the Riverside Residences in the inner city, which was inside the moat. Now, on the outer side of the moat, also close to the moat, also in this prosperous area, with the same exquisite design, the only difference was one being inside the moat and the other outside.

Of course, there were still some differences. For example, the outer city's Water View Manor was relatively smaller, with each residence in the inner city being dozens of acres in size, while the outer city residences were only twenty acres. At the same time, the outer city had another advantage: it didn't restrict nobility titles, so anyone could buy as long as they had gold coins.

With smaller areas, the number of units was greater. The Water View Manor in the outer city had more than five hundred residences, with some areas being in prime locations featuring various dining, drinking, and entertainment options. It could be said that there was nothing buyers could think of that the seller couldn't provide.

What was there to say? Buy! Just treat it as an investment. If it's not needed in the future, it can be sold at a higher price. Everyone could see that this was a scarce resource, selling one less meant one less available. No one was stupid, and with such a great opportunity in front of them, not buying would be foolish.

Not only that, but the commercial areas were also being snapped up like crazy. Businessmen were more accurate in their judgment at this time than the heads of those large families. Moreover, the areas designated as commercial zones didn't even restrict nobility titles in the inner city; they would sell to anyone who wanted to buy.

Surrounded by people who could afford the Riverside Residences, or the royal family's properties, or the residences of court officials, was there any fear of not having consumers in such a place?

Mei'er even declared that if she hadn't agreed to the demands of the various vassal state rulers, these commercial properties would not have been left for them, except for this batch of real estate and pawnshop lending businesses. Being able to snatch them up meant they had burned incense before the Dao Ancestor for eight lifetimes.

In just three days, both the residences and shops inside and outside the moat were completely sold out. During these three days, Lizhen Workshop used hundreds of people just to count gold coins, using the gold coin slots that Wang Sheng had told Mei'er about. Once filled, they knew how many there were, counting stack after stack, nearly exhausting hundreds of people.

The yamen was the same. For three days, buyers came to register in an endless stream, almost breaking down the threshold. What made the officials, both high and low, happy was that those who came to register had to pay 10% in taxes.

Even if it was only 10%, it was ten times the land price from a few months ago! The gold coins received by the government alone exceeded 700 million. This also meant that Mei'er received 7 billion gold coins within three days.

When had the officials in the capital seen such a massive amount of gold coins? Many were directly blinded by the golden light. If the Emperor hadn't prepared in advance, with Grand Eunuch Shen, one of the three Grandmasters, present to oversee the situation, at least half of those gold coins would have been divided up by those who handled them.

Of course, there was no such opportunity now, but the officials were still extremely happy. With such a large sum of gold coins, it could be said that this year would definitely be a prosperous year. It wasn't a good time to tamper with it when collecting it now, but with gold coins in the treasury, they would eventually have to be spent, so they wouldn't be afraid of not having opportunities then.

However, Lizhen Workshop was even more tempting! Even the government's tax revenue was more than 700 million, which meant that Lizhen Workshop sold 7 billion gold coins in three days. Even after deducting the cost of buying houses, relocating, buying land, and construction, the profit was at least 5 billion gold coins!

The entire officialdom of the capital, including most of the royal family and the various vassal states who were observing and learning Mei'er's methods of making money, were all drooling. And it wasn't just a drop or two, but a torrential flow.

What made them even want to cry was that so many gold coins were actually contributed by their own family members. The buyers of those Riverside Residences and Water View Manors were all disciples of the various vassal lords, with not a single outsider. Only the commercial properties were sold to half of the local big businessmen in the capital, and the remaining half were still disciples of the various vassal states.

"This is a warm-up, not part of the lesson for you," When someone approached Mei'er, wanting to ask for some advice, they were directly turned away by Mei'er: "We'll see in another month."

During the previous period, almost the entire outer city of the capital had been relocated, and even the guild halls of the various vassal states had been moved to the Riverside Residences in the inner city or the Water View Manors in the outer city. The entire outer city of the capital had become a huge construction site.

While all parties were surprised and uncertain, they also calmed down and continued to observe. Anyway, it was only a month, and everyone could afford to wait. In addition, this month was a good opportunity for people from all parties to have more contact with all aspects of the capital's construction. What they learned was the experience of leading troops!

The construction teams were extremely efficient. This wasn't about building high-rise buildings, but Chinese-style courtyard residences. Even the heavy beams were not that difficult for these cultivators at the third or fourth stage, so the speed was very fast.

The construction speed of tens of thousands of people was truly remarkable, with a new neighborhood rising every few days. Dozens of residences, starting from the moat, radiated outwards in circles. Similarly, all kinds of commercial facilities were complete, and the residences were beautifully built. Except for the lack of the water view like those by the moat, everything else was complete.

In addition, with the Eight Rivers surrounding the capital, the moat also had a source, so there were still several rivers that could be used to create some water features.

A month later, Lizhen Workshop directly launched thousands of large and small residences and courtyards in the outer city for sale, ready to move in.

Before launching this batch of residences and courtyards, the Emperor first summoned representatives from all parties, and then delineated areas in the outer city of the capital for each party. When the Emperor agreed to tear down the city walls, there were conditions: each party was responsible for the security and protection of the outer city of the capital. The various families did not deny this and all agreed.

The Emperor made it even clearer, directly issuing an edict to announce to the world which area of the capital was the responsibility of which family, written clearly and unambiguously.

When the various parties did not understand what this meant, Mei'er's Lizhen Workshop had already launched thousands of residences and courtyards, and at the same time, a complete set of mortgage loan systems.

The previous Riverside Residences and Water View Manors had already scraped almost all the gold coins from the hands of those with titles in the various vassal states. Now, where would Lizhen Workshop scrape up other gold coins? Did they expect ordinary people to be able to take out gold coins to buy such expensive real estate in the capital? Many people were waiting to see the joke. It would be a miracle if Lizhen Workshop could sell so many houses they had hoarded.

However, this mortgage loan was a bit interesting.
