Fenghou

The two young ladies were more afraid of Lu Xiu, so they could only nod their heads if they didn't want to.

"Take it and play!"

Lu Xiu returned the clairvoyance to them, "Be careful not to drop it!"

The two young ladies cheered and ran away holding clairvoyance, Yao Mei hurriedly followed.

Lu Xiu waved her hand again to let the maid go down, and then said to Lin Qiaoyun, "Qiaoyun, do we want to invest in the land in Han Chang'an City?"

What the two of them said is naturally the top commercial secret. Chen Qing is considering developing Han Chang'an City. The main reason is that the land demand in Jingzhao City is very strong, which leads to more and more expensive land prices and higher rents. People at the bottom are moving to the city. outer suburbs.

The Han Great Wall is less than ten miles away from Jingzhao City. It is absolutely possible to build the Han Great Wall into a small city attached to Jingzhao City, move the craftsmen and workshops there, and then build a large number of cheap official houses to rent out. The low-level people living in the city can also moved over.

The first thousand and 420 chapters and five suggestions

Zhao Qiaoyun shook his head and said, "Han Chang'an's position is not high, and the land price will not go up in the future. I suggest buying a large number of houses in the Southwest District."

The Southwest District includes Yonghefang, Yongpingfang, Yonganfang, Changanfang, and Tongyifang. It is the largest slum area in Jingzhao, occupying [-]% of the land in Jingzhao City.

Most of the southwest area is government land, so Chen Qing considered developing the old land of Han Chang'an City, building a large number of official low-rent houses, and replacing the land in the southwest area.

Lu Xiu nodded. She took a newspaper and turned to the last page. This page was full of various advertisements.

"Here they are. The three-acre compound in Yonghefang is for sale at [-] guan, and the price per mu is only [-] guan. It is cheaper than outside the city. I am afraid it is the cheapest land price in the city."

Zhao Qiaoyun said with a smile: "No matter how cheap the house in Yonghefang is, no one wants it. It won't be so in the future. We can vote. It's still the old rule. Each person pays [-] guan, and I leave it to the master to operate."

They were not short of money, they were just investing for fun, and more importantly, Chen Qing did not allow them to invest more. If they invested hundreds of thousands, they would be using inside information to manipulate land prices, which would cause dissatisfaction among the people.

Lu Xiu readily agreed, and said to the maid at the door: "Go and invite my aunt and tell her that I have something important to see her."

Not long after, Li Qingzhao hurried over and said with a smile, "Is there another good opportunity?"

"Master, sit down and talk!"

Lu Xiu asked Master to sit down, and she and Zhao Qiaoyun sat on the other side. She spread out a map, pointed to Han Chang'an City and said, "Is Master familiar with this place?"

"I went to see it, and there are ruins left."

Li Qingzhao sighed, "The west wind is cold, and the ruins of the Han family were finally blown away by the wind and rain."

Lu Xiu whispered: "Last night, the prince told me that he was considering moving the workshops of the craftsmen and military supervisors there, and [-] households of craftsmen would also move there, but there is still a lot of land. He wants to replace the Southwest."

Li Qingzhao reacted very quickly, raised his eyebrows and said, "The land price in Southwest Wufang is going to rise sharply, and that is the cheapest place in Jingzhao. I remember the price per mu is only two to three hundred."

Li Qingzhao used to be impoverished, but she has made a lot of money building houses over the years, and she is very familiar with land prices.

Zhao Qiaoyun was a little worried: "But it seems that there are all official lands there, and you can't buy them."

"Not exactly. Yonghefang is basically not official land. You can invest in the land of Yonghefang. It's not easy for you to come forward, so I will leave this matter to me. I opened a Liji Zhuangzhaitianmu tooth shop and asked them to go to Yonghe. Open a dental firm in Fangfang, specializing in the acquisition of real estate, so that people will not notice."

Lu Xiu said again: "But each of us can only pay [-] guan, a total of [-] guan."

"It's almost there. I'll pay another [-] guan to make up [-] guan. Even if the average price is [-] guan per mu, I can buy [-] mu of land."

The three of them discussed the details again, and Li Qingzhao did what she said, and immediately went out to find her Li Jiya shop, and asked the shop to go to Yonghefang to list and open a branch.

Lu Xiu went to a few sisters to discuss investment.

……

In the afternoon, Chen Qing returned to the mansion and first came to his study. He usually rests in his inner study. Regardless of the size of the mansion, the place that really belongs to him is the study yard which covers an area of ​​three acres. Corridor, pool, garden, and this three-story study.

This is his spiritual world, where he can relax completely. Next year, he will move to Yongwang Palace. The overall layout will be similar to this one, but it will be much larger. His study room will occupy an area of ​​ten acres.

At this time, footsteps came from outside, Chen Qing recalled his train of thought, his wife Lu Xiu came to the familiar voice, she hadn't come to his study for almost a year, there must be something going on today, Chen Qing immediately guessed that it should be with Han Chang'an City Regarding, I told her last night that they would definitely not let go of this opportunity to make money.

Chen Qing didn't object to the wives and concubines at home investing to make money. They were bored at home, so finding something to do for them would make their lives more interesting.

More importantly, they jointly invest in foreign countries and have common goals, so their relationship with each other will be very harmonious, and they will fight among themselves when they have nothing to do all day long.

The door opened, and it was indeed his wife Lu Xiu who came in bringing tea, "Why did the lady bring the tea herself?"

"I serve tea and water to my husband, shouldn't I?"

Lu Xiu smiled sweetly, put the teacup on the table, sat aside and said: "The clairvoyance of the two little fellows was given to them by your husband?"

Chen Qing nodded, took out a bigger long box from the drawer and said with a smile: "This is new, much better than the previous one, let the previous one be a toy for the children!"

"Isn't this very expensive!" Lu Xiu asked gently stroking the extremely exquisite clairvoyance wrapped in lambskin.

Chen Qing nodded, and said with some regret: "I originally wanted to make it cheaper, but found that it couldn't be done, and it had to be made with the purest crystals. Not only are the materials very expensive, but the craftsmanship is also extremely demanding. Ordinary craftsmen If you can’t make it, you must be the top mirror grinder to grind it out bit by bit. Twenty craftsmen have been working for a whole month, and only ten pieces can be ground out, but the key is the material. There are not many materials left. Can you make ten more, do you think it is expensive?"

"This is really expensive, much more expensive than land!" Lu Xiu naturally brought up the topic of tonight.

Chen Qing smiled slightly: "Do you want to invest in Han Chang'an City?"

Lu Xiu shook her head, "We want to invest in the Southwest District, and Master will arrange some people to buy the land. Each of us will invest [-] guan, and Master will invest [-] guan, for a total of [-] guan."

Chen Qing gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's very insightful, the price of land in the southwest region is the lowest."

"Or should I thank my husband for revealing to us the business opportunities in the southwest region?"

"I?"

Chen Qing was stunned, "I just said that Han Chang'an City was going to be developed, and I didn't mention the southwest area!"

"Actually, my husband said, you said that the investment in developing Han Chang'an City is too large, and you need to repair more houses that are rented out to the low-level people, and use the land in the city to recover the investment. Apart from the Southwest District, where else can you meet this condition?"

Chen Qing nodded and said: "It's very smart, it's true. I'm considering replacing the land in the Southwest District and selling the land to balance expenses."

"Then can you give me a suggestion, should we buy the land in Yonghefang or the land in Chang'anfang?"

In the afternoon, the master told her that there are a large number of private houses for sale in these two fangs. The owners of these houses want to take advantage of the cheap land prices in the suburbs to quickly sell their houses and buy land in the suburbs. Up, who will live in the slums for the rich?But the land prices in the suburbs are getting higher year by year, and there are many opportunities, but they can only choose one place for their 1 yuan.

Chen Qing thought for a while and smiled: "In fact, both of these are fine, but if I invest in real estate, I will definitely choose the land in Chang'an Square."

"why?"

"Because the Cao River passes by Chang'an Square, rich people like to have their own private dock."

"But Master said..."

Lu Xiu hesitated: "The river over there is very dirty and smelly, disgusting!"

Chen Qing sighed and said: "That's because of the slums. They will all move out in the future. The water is alive, so it will naturally become clear. Don't worry."

"Okay! I'll go back and discuss it with everyone."

Chen Qing reminded with a smile: "Try to start within two days. In a few days, my plan to develop the Han Great Wall will be submitted to the Internal Affairs Hall, and the news will spread. At that time, many people will be able to guess the slum area. Will move."

"I see, I'll go tell Master!"

The first thousand and 420 chapters and six shocking news

In the side hall of the Internal Affairs Hall, Chen Qing is presiding over an important discussion. He has just submitted a proposal for the development of Han Chang'an City to the Internal Affairs Hall.

This is actually a new county seat, which is of great significance.

Chen Qing explained to more than a dozen senior officials present: "I received a detailed report from the special envoy Lu Gang, which mentioned that Lin'an real estate is on the eve of collapse. Once it collapses, a lot of money will flow to Jingzhao. We There are several preparations to be made. On the one hand, the preparation is to provide enough land to bear the money, otherwise there will be too much money in the market, which will definitely lead to skyrocketing prices.

On the other hand, it is necessary to ensure that the price of food and cloth does not rise. The Changping store must play the role of guaranteeing prices. The third preparation is to combat malicious hoarding. This is the responsibility of the internal guards. First prepare.

Jiang Yanxian said slowly: "His Royal Highness's plan is mainly to relocate the poor, craftsmen and a large number of workshops to Han Chang'an City, which means to free up the land in Jingzhao City. Is this how it is understood!"

Chen Qing nodded, "The five squares in the Southwest District are basically poor residential areas, and 50% of the land is official land. There are also craftsmen's districts, and more than [-] workshops inside and outside the city. These are all official lands. They occupy Jingzhao Thirty percent of the land, if we move them to Han Chang'an City, we will have another new South City, which is enough to deal with the impact of Lin'an's large amount of wealth moving westward, and the imperial court also has enough money to develop Han Chang'an City."

Zhou Kuan worried: "Your Highness, if the craftsmen and poor people are forced to move to Han Chang'an City, they may not be willing, which will cause unnecessary turmoil."

Chen Qing smiled slightly and said: "We will definitely be dissatisfied, but as long as we do two things well, it will be enough to offset the dissatisfaction of the people. Han Chang'an City can rent two rooms with a yard, and the rent is still [-] Wen, which is the most practical concession.

Second, to minimize the sense of distance between Han Chang'an City and Jingzhao City, first of all, it was built as a new county on the same level as Chang'an County, Wannian County, and Jingzhao County. After that, Jingzhao City will be composed of four counties. The second is to build a wide and flat avenue, and the two sides of the avenue will gradually be covered by residential houses and shops.

The second is to build water transport. There are dozens of boats traveling between the two places every day. "

Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Your Highness, why don't we go to the scene to discuss the matter!"

Chen Qing smiled happily: "This suggestion is good, let's go to Han Chang'an City together!"

……

Han Chang'an City is located in the northwest of Jingzhao City, facing the Weishui River in the north, and less than ten miles away from Jingzhao City. It belonged to the imperial forbidden garden in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

However, the three major palaces of the Han Dynasty, Weiyang Palace, Jianzhang Palace and Changle Palace, still existed until the Tang Dynasty. However, as the central government moved eastward and Chang'an City declined, Han Chang'an City was inevitably annihilated in the dust of time.

The three major palaces have all collapsed, leaving only ruined walls, and other buildings have become loess and covered by weeds.

Han Chang'an City has always been official land, some of which have been reclaimed into farmland, but most of them have not been developed and are still barren.

Half an hour later, Chen Qing brought a large group of officials to Han Chang'an City to discuss matters. Chang'an City is very large, more than ten miles long from east to west, and about three miles wide. The three major palaces alone take up [-]% of the area. .

The first is the issue of the city wall. According to Chen Qing's plan, he wanted to build Han Chang'an City into the fourth county of Jingzhao. A city is a city without a wall.

Chen Qing said to everyone: "The city wall does not need to be built too high. It can be slightly lower than Jingzhao City. It is recommended to build bricks for the wall. Our four brick yards can burn enough city bricks."

Lu Wei hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, you can use the bricks we plan to build the outer wall of Jingzhao City here first, and store the outer wall bricks again."

Jingzhao City currently has a single city wall. If it is to be established as a capital, it must be built with double city walls. The city bricks have been stored, but they can be used here in Han Chang'an City first.

Chen Qing nodded, "Once it is decided, we must start work as soon as possible. We will not wait for time. We will build the official rental housing first. According to the plan I mentioned, there will be two houses with a small courtyard, and each official rental housing will be guaranteed a piece of land, and the rent will still be [-] renminbi. "

In the city, there is only one house for the official rental house with 20 Wen, but in the suburbs, you can rent two rooms with a small courtyard for [-] Wen, so Chen Qing asked to compare the market price outside the city, two houses with a small courtyard, and the lease contract is the most expensive. It can be as long as [-] years, which is more secure than private renting.

Everyone came to the former site of the Three Great Palaces. The Three Great Palaces still existed in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Now there are only a few ruins left, but the granite foundations are still there. According to the plan, dozens of government-run workshops of the craftsmen will be moved here. .

Including dozens of workshops such as printing, coin casting, mold making, distiller's yeast, furniture, car making, leather making, glaze, ceramics, mirror making, sugar making, paper making, etc.

The craftsman is mainly responsible for the production and manufacture of civilian products, and the military weapons supervisory workshop is responsible for the production of military weapons and armor. At present, the workshops of the military supervisor are concentrated in Xianyang County, while the workshops of the craftsman are concentrated in Jingzhao City.

So this time, all the workshops of the craftsmen and supervisors will be moved to Han Chang'an City, including [-] craftsmen.

In fact, there are many workshops of craftsmen and supervisors, such as weaving, shipbuilding, cotton ginning, coal cake making, brick firing, flour grinding, etc., all of which are distributed in other places.

A small part of the products produced are exclusively for the imperial court, such as coin casting, gold and silver refining, printing, paper making, etc. Most of the other civilian products are put on the market, and they are of high quality and are very popular in the market.

There is also the koji cake, which is a monopoly. All breweries can only buy koji cake from the government. This is the wine tax, which together with the salt tax has become an important tax revenue for the government.

Chen Qing and the officials only stayed in Han Chang'an City for more than half an hour, but the news quickly spread in Jingzhao City. Some people don't quite believe it.

Only some foresighted people began to buy bottoms and bought private houses in the Southwest District. When a large number of officials followed King Yong to inspect the Han Chang'an City, the people finally believed the rumors. Two or three hundred guan has jumped to [-] guan per mu, and there are very few houses. There has been a grand occasion of dozens of people robbing one house. Those who sold it stamped their feet and beat their breasts, regretting too much.

Land prices have once again become the focus of discussion among the people of Jingzhao City. Some say that land prices will rise sharply, while others say that land prices will definitely drop if there is too much land supply. Various teahouses are talking about it, and there is no consensus.

But real money is the most convincing. The Jingzhao market suddenly flooded with a large number of land buyers, especially the land in Nanzhao County in the city and outside the city.

A few days later, a shocking news came that the land market in Lin'an had collapsed, and a case spread throughout the city. A five-acre house with a total price of 25 guan was sold at a total price of [-] guan. The price of the transaction fell by more than [-]%.

The first thousand and 420 chapters seven collapse

The price of housing land in Lin'an has indeed collapsed. In fact, since two years ago, the Lin'an market has been in a state of price but no market. Houses with more than three acres are expensive, but there is no transaction, mainly because no one takes over.

The price per mu is more than [-] guan, and a three-mu house costs [-] guan. Only big businessmen and dignitaries can take over, but the big business class was killed by the imperial court, and the rich and powerful class themselves have a lot of houses. They have no need.

Originally very popular shops, ten years ago it was still hard to find a shop, and the price per mu was more than [-] guan, but now the supply is far greater than the demand, and there is even only supply and no demand. The streets of Lin'an are full of transfer shops.

Although homes and shops are being sold everywhere, the prices have not come down. The transactions and prices seem to be frozen. Everyone has a tacit understanding, and no one wants to sell at a loss.

What really led to the collapse of Lin'an real estate was the imperial court itself. The imperial court forced the issuance of clubs, but found that most of the businessmen on the list had fled. People and money were gone, leaving only houses and shops that could not escape. was confiscated by the government.

But what the imperial court needs is money, not houses. In the past, the houses and shops were disposed of by means of internal low-price sales, but now no one is willing to take over the internal low-price sales. Thousands of shops were launched to the market at extremely low prices, which instantly detonated the real estate market in Lin'an, forming a snowball effect. Everyone lowered their prices one after another, and sold them at a loss. One by one, the real estate market in Lin'an, which had been stalemate for two years, collapsed. .

The price of [-] guan per mu has become [-] guan per mu, and the wealth of countless people has shrunk by ten times overnight, causing strong social turmoil. Housing prices have plummeted and prices have soared. People have hoarded supplies and snapped up food. , The price has increased by ten times. For a while, there was a lot of panic in Lin'an City, and a large number of people began to leave Lin'an City.

In the study, Qin Hui ruthlessly threw the "Beijing News" on the ground. The front page of the "Beijing News" published news about the development of Han Chang'an City. This Qin Hui didn't care about it. What annoyed him was the third and fourth pages, densely packed It's been four days in a row, and there's a huge amount of real estate transfers every day, which is suffocating and desperate.

It seems to be the normal real estate information of newspapers, but at this critical moment, ordinary newspapers will take the overall situation into consideration and try not to publish news that deteriorates the market, but the "Beijing News" has gone further and turned one page of business information into two pages. Blowing the horn to tell every reader that Lin'an real estate has collapsed, this is clearly fueling the flames maliciously.

Wang Zhenbang's 50-acre house next to Fengle Building was originally priced at [-] guan per mu, but the total price exceeded [-] guan, but it was sold by the government at a price of [-] guan per mu, but no one was willing to take it over. This matter was reported by the Beijing News " was reported as a headline on the front page, which triggered a wave of plummeting housing prices in Lin'an.

Of course, Qin Hui had no doubts about the sinister intentions of the "Beijing News". At this turbulent moment, Chen Qing's instructions to it must be to add insult to injury.

But what Qin Hui is thinking about now is not to solve the market's problems, but to solve his own problems. How can he keep his position when he bears huge responsibilities?

It was indeed his decision to sell assets, but he was also under tremendous pressure from the officials to pay the army salaries. The [-] troops stationed in Wenzhou had a large number of deserters because of the lack of salaries. It made him sell the real estate store immediately, which resulted in such serious consequences as today.

In the final analysis, the imperial court ran out of money, and the wine tax was almost cut off due to the sharp decrease in wine sales. The salt tax was slightly better, but it could not be collected for the time being. Salt has been suppressed, but the normal sale of official salt will have to wait until the Chinese New Year at least.

The court and the government have a lot of real estate that can't collect rent. Now the only expectation is land tax, household tax and shelf tax.

Under the pressure of various crises, Qin Hui's head was as big as a bucket, and he didn't know what to do?

At this time, his wife, Wang Shi, walked into the study, and she saw her husband's anxiety, so she suggested: "My lord, the price of rice outside has risen to [-] Wen per bucket. Can't the imperial court release some rice to stabilize the price of food?"
