Dragon's Origin

Chapter 627: Have to Admire (Part 1)

The old Taoist spoke decisively, without the slightest hesitation. Wang Sheng believed that the old Taoist was absolutely speaking from the heart.

It's just that if the old Taoist's words were spread out, what would those who are painstakingly pursuing the Legendary Realm think?

The martial arts they pursue in their entire lives are probably the peak of the Legendary Realm. But if they were to know that the realm they pursued for a lifetime is actually just the foundation, how would they handle themselves?

Sometimes, ignorance is truly bliss!

However, Wang Sheng was also very envious. After really passing this foundation-laying stage, how amazing would the world above be?

While Wang Sheng and Old Taoist Ling Xu were carving concentric spheres here, things outside didn't stop at all, and what was supposed to happen still happened.

The remaining thousands of sets of courtyard residences in the second batch finally began to be inquired about slowly. After pondering for several days and going to the site to see them several times, they finally made a move.

Mortgages are a newly introduced thing, a fresh thing. It is not a good thing that can see immediate results, and it will definitely take some time to ferment before it can be slowly promoted. Even if it can be promoted, I am afraid that only those who are bold enough to be the first to eat crabs will dare to use it.

Of course, at any time, in any world, in any territory, there is no shortage of bold people. Isn't there a saying? The bold are full, and the timid starve.

Mei'er and Empress discussed for two days, and the Emperor later joined in. Finally, they discussed the direction of spending money. On the third day after Wang Sheng came back, the imperial court announced the construction plan of the capital to the public.

A Capital Imperial College will be built, as well as a Gongyuan specially used for national examinations, five theaters larger than the Royal Grand Theater, dozens of areas with concentrated commerce and trade, plus the entire inner city moat and the outer city moat, along with the water network formed by connecting the eight waters of the capital, comprehensively and three-dimensionally covering the inner and outer city areas of the entire capital. Once completed, it will turn the original outer city of the capital into the largest and most prosperous comprehensive city in the world.

The inner city of the capital was not left out either, as it is a place for more high-end consumption. In fact, the level is completely different starting from the inner city moat. The painted boats on the outer city moat, even if they can enter the inner city moat through the eight waters of the capital, are not qualified. The inner city moat is only qualified for the painted boats of the most famous courtesans in the world to dock and sail.

Even brothels are like this, not to mention other things. Runzi Workshop is directly divided into two. Several shops will be opened in the outer city exclusively for low- and mid-range cosmetics. The Runzi Workshop at the foot of the imperial city will only supply the highest-end cosmetics in the future, and will no longer easily allow ordinary female customers to enter. All will adopt a membership system. Only the distinguished guests of Dream Workshop can enter from that door of Runzi Workshop and then linger in the three workshops inside. As for ordinary consumers, go to the outer city to consume!

In this way, although some ordinary female customers are slightly dissatisfied, the distinguished guests who can consume in Dream Workshop are greatly satisfied. Dream Workshop can only be entered from the beauty salon entrance of Runzi Workshop. Even they used to have to squeeze in from the crowded street of Runzi Workshop. Now that Runzi Workshop is so diverted, the Runzi Workshop at the foot of the imperial city will no longer be so crowded, and all those who come and go are noble ladies and celebrities. Such a quiet and high-end place is what truly upper-class people can enjoy.

As soon as the plan for the outer city was announced, the entire capital was in an uproar. Wouldn't such a capital directly become a fairyland on earth?

Countless people lingered and pondered over the outer city planning map specially announced by Mei'er and hung in several areas of the outer city, and then finally someone gritted their teeth, entered Lizhen Workshop, and began to learn about the mortgage business in detail.

From the first loan to purchase a mansion next to a planned theater, people who came to inquire about and understand the mortgage business came in an endless stream, and some people gradually began to grit their teeth and take out loans to enjoy the beautiful life of a capital mortgage slave.

In half a month, in the observation of countless moved people, and under the eyes of a group of high-level figures from various princes who were waiting to see a joke, thousands of courtyard residences were swept away by a group of merchants and wealthy households with extremely accurate vision. More than 90% of them used Lizhen Workshop's mortgage, and all used the maximum term of 30 years.

Just kidding, a loan with an annual interest rate of 10% is simply a free gift! Now, as long as the business is doing well, don't they understand this? It's a bastard not to take advantage of it, who is the bastard?

Watching Lizhen Workshop receive another 3 billion gold coins in half a month, this does not include the imperial court.

If it were just 3 billion, all parties would only think that this was squeezing out the last bit of purchasing power. The problem is that this 3 billion is just the down payment. A down payment of 3 billion, with 70% loan, means that the gold coin transaction involved is actually another business at the 10 billion level.

A loan of 7 billion, repayable in 30 years, if calculated at maturity, it will double in ten years. If the principal is not repaid, the principal and interest will be 28 billion gold coins in 30 years. Even if the principal and interest are repaid successively, it will probably not be less than 20 billion.

Hiss! After everyone calculated the result and got this data, they all gasped. Counting the down payment of 3 billion gold coins, the principal and interest will be about 25 billion gold coins in 30 years!

Once the gold coins exceed 100 million, it is almost impossible to earn them again and again. Even those who lend money at high interest rates cannot lend out 100 million gold coins at once. Moreover, usually after they lend out a few thousand, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands of gold coins, basically less than 10% can be returned. In the end, all the debtors are ruined. These lenders, in the end, only get some industries from the other party that are worth about the same as the gold coins they lent out. If they are really black-hearted, they will at most add the other party's family members as slaves, that's all.

But now, Mei'er is giving these arrogant people a naked lesson in front of their eyes, what is called small profits but quick turnover? What is called a money-making expert?

With this group of mortgage slaves, Mei'er, even if she does nothing in the next 30 years, will have a net income of at least 500 million gold coins per year, excluding the principal.

The newest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

You know, this is only less than one-twentieth of the area of the outer city of the capital. If the remaining area is developed and sold out, I am afraid that this number can be so large that the princes of all parties will be restless.

How much is the total value of the heads of the Xia family's wanted masters now? Even with the national lord, the highest is only 2 billion gold coins. When that time comes, if the Emperor casually puts up a reward of several billion, I am afraid that the princes of all parties will not be able to sleep every day.
