"This is not enough!" Fan Zheng waved his hand.

"Isn't this enough?" Baiguan looked at Fan Zheng dumbfounded.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "The housing prices in Kaifeng are worth thousands of dollars, and there are many houses worth thousands of dollars. The housing prices in the East District are far higher than those in Kaifeng City in terms of location and layout. This means that the housing prices in Biandong will be comparable to those in Kaifeng. However, not many people can spend so much money at once!”

Fan Chunchun nodded slightly. Not only ordinary people, but also officials like them might not be that simple if they want to buy a house. After all, it costs thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. With their salary, it may take many years to save.

"So in order to allow more people to buy real estate in Kaifeng City, the Royal Bank can issue young people's money. They only need to mortgage the house deed and only need to pay 30% of the house price. The rest will be paid at an annual interest rate of 3% for up to thirty years. , just repay the principal and interest monthly!" Fan Zheng once again broke the shocking news!

"What, you want to distribute usury money to the people of Kaifeng! And it's thousands of usury money!"

The court officials exclaimed!

"Thirty percent of the house payment will be spent on young people for thirty years!"

Zhao Xu's eyes flashed. Not many people could spend thousands of dollars, but if they could only spend 30%, the number of people who could afford to buy a house in Kaifeng City would increase by more than ten times.

In fact, the entire Kaifeng City will attract all the money from the world to Kaifeng City. By then, the money for the Northern Expedition will be perfectly raised.

"Aren't you worried that the people in the world won't be able to afford the young people's money for these thirty years? Then their families will be ruined." Yang Wei angrily scolded Fan Zhengdao.

Fan Zheng already had a countermeasure: "This matter is simple. People who can afford 30% of the house payment are also wealthy families in the Song Dynasty. It is not a big problem to afford two thousand yuan of young people's money every month. Besides, if others If one day you can't afford it, you can sell the property in advance and cash out. Otherwise, if he can't pay back, the Royal Bank can also get a Kaifeng property, and the court won't lose at all! "

With Fan Zheng's strategy, the court could not bear the loss at all, and it could also bring a large number of people and taxes to Kaifeng Mansion.

"This may be possible!"

Many young officials who could not afford to buy a house were shocked. After the imperial court increased the amount of money to raise funds, the official's income increased significantly. Using young people's money to buy a house was enough to save them ten years of detours.

"Even if your plan goes well, do you know what the consequences will be? How many people will come to Kaifeng City!"

"By then, Kaifeng City's population will not be able to contain even three million, not to mention two million!"

All officials in the dynasty were worried about gains and losses. After Fan Zheng's actions, the population of Kaifeng City might be reduced to three million.

"Three million!" Even the three prime ministers couldn't help but hesitate.

Although population is the foundation of prosperity, if another million people pour into Kaifeng City, Kaifeng City may not be able to bear it.

"Three million? No, the east of the city is just the beginning. There will be south and west of the city in the future. My plan is to make Kaifeng a big city with a population of tens of millions! Or even more!" Fan Zhenghao said.

"Population of tens of millions!"

This time, even Zhao Xu couldn't help but get up and looked at the crazy Fan Zheng with a look of disbelief. Everyone knew that the evil doctor Fan Zheng was doing evil things, but the city with a population of one million was already extremely prosperous, with a population of tens of millions. Gathering in Kaifeng is something no one dares to imagine.

"If you report to the officials, I will impeach Fan Zheng. This is a disgrace to the country!" Yang Wei immediately shouted angrily.

All the ministers in the court agreed one after another!

But this time, even his father Fan Chunli looked at his son with confusion. He did not expect that Fan Zheng's evil side would be so crazy.

Zhao Xu looked at Fan Zheng deeply. Although he was shocked by Fan Zheng's idea of ​​a population of tens of millions, he also knew that if the population of Kaifeng City reached tens of millions, the housing prices in Kaifeng would definitely rise to the next level, and then the court would be able to easily acquire it. Money and food for the Northern Expedition.

"Fan Aiqing, what's your excuse?" Zhao Xu asked in a deep voice without being impetuous.

Fan Zheng looked around and sneered: "It's not that the humble ministers are talking about military affairs on paper and talking nonsense and ruining the country, but that Kaifeng City needs tens of millions of people."

"What's the meaning of this?" Zhao Xu asked doubtfully.

Fan Zheng said loudly: "Since Wei Chen attacked Xingqing Mansion with a gunpowder attack, the city's defense capabilities have been flawless. This is why Wei Chen proposed to demolish the Kaifeng City Wall. However, have you ever thought about the Kaifeng City Wall?" It is the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty. Since the city wall of Kaifeng is no longer reliable, how can Kaifeng defend itself against foreign enemies and ensure that everything is safe?"

All the officials in the dynasty couldn't help but hesitated and said nothing.

"Could it be that there are more people?" Cai Jing frowned.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "Yes, it depends on the number of people! It is said that those who have no permanent property have no perseverance. If Kaifeng City has a population of tens of millions, everyone will definitely fight to the death for Kaifeng in order to preserve their properties worth thousands of dollars and thousands of dollars."

Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly lit up. Since the Kaifeng city wall was no longer reliable, perhaps this strategy was also a good solution.

Fan Zheng continued: "Furthermore, Fan has experienced war. Food and fodder for an army of 200,000 people is a heavy burden. If Kaifeng's population reaches 10 million, attacking Kaifeng City with 200,000 people will be nothing more than ants shaking a tree." , since Kaifeng has lost the Kaifeng City Wall, then use tens of millions of people to build the city wall, so that Kaifeng City will never fall!"

"Use tens of millions of people as city walls!"

"Never fall!"

As soon as Fan Zheng said this, all the officials' eyes lit up.

In a conventional war, a 200,000-strong army is already a super legion and is invincible. However, when facing a city with a population of tens of millions, 200,000-strong troops may be involuntarily intimidated.

"Kaifeng is located in the Central Plains, with thousands of miles of fertile fields. There is no need to worry about food shortages. It is enough to feed a population of tens of millions."

"The population of tens of millions of people will further stimulate the housing prices in Kaifeng, allowing Kaifeng City to receive a steady stream of money and food from the Northern Expedition. Once the imperial court destroys the enemy in the north, most of Kaifeng City will have no borders. Even without city walls, it will still be safe and sound!" Fan Zheng said again.

"it is good!"

"With tens of millions of people as city walls, most of them have no borders. This is the future path for Kaifeng City!" Zhao Xu made the final decision and completely rectified Fan Zheng's name!

All the officials in the dynasty were no longer filled with the same indignation as before, and all of them had complicated expressions. It must be said that Fan Zheng's method seemed evil, but it cured all the officials' mental illnesses.

After all, the city wall has lost its absolute protective role. As the capital of a country, the risk of Kaifeng city being breached has greatly increased. In addition, Fan Zheng has demolished the Kaifeng city wall, which makes the officials even more worried.

Now with Fan Zheng's plan to build a city with tens of millions of people, he finally found a way to defend Kaifeng City.

Not to mention that the more people flow into Kaifeng City, the higher the housing prices in Kaifeng City will be, and the court will also be able to obtain sufficient funds for the Northern Expedition.

Once the imperial court's Northern Expedition eliminates foreign enemies, there will naturally be no threat to Kaifeng City. It doesn't matter whether there is a city wall or not.

"I agree with Governor Fan's policy!" Fan Chunli no longer had the rebellious expression before, looking proud of his son.

"Prefect Fan has a precedent of building Shanghai City. I believe that Kaifeng City will definitely be able to perform the miracle of Shanghai City again." Su Song also nodded with a smile.

"We will obey the orders of the officials!"

The ministers had no choice but to compromise. Although some people were interested in the interests of the land, they could not tolerate the slightest selfishness due to the national interests and the safety of Kaifeng City.

........................

When the court is over, Fan Zheng returns to Kaifeng Mansion!

"I have met the prefect!" the masters and government servants said cautiously.

They naturally knew that Fan Zheng had been impeached by the ministers, and Fan Zheng's safety was related to their future, so they naturally paid special attention to it.

Fan Zheng didn't know what everyone was thinking, so he said loudly: "I have received permission from the government and the court to continue the implementation of Biandong New District."

"Great!" Bao Kang's face immediately showed joy. He knew that Fan Zheng could get through this.

The other secretaries and yamen runners were also relieved and said, "Your Excellency is indeed deeply trusted by His Majesty!"

Regarding the rumors that the officials had great trust in Fan Zheng, they had a lot of doubts before. Now that the city walls have been demolished, the officials can still support Fan Zheng as always, which shows how much Fan Zheng has the trust of the officials.

Fan Zheng looked around and said: "Biandong New District is related to the future of the Song Dynasty. You must go all out to do it well. In the future, I will definitely ask for rewards from the officials. You can all be promoted and make a fortune!"

"Thank you, Lord Prefect!" Everyone was immediately overjoyed. After all, the six masters on Liangzhe Road had been properly accommodated, and they had heard about it. Now such a good opportunity has finally come to them.

After Fan Zheng imagined the future for the people in the yamen, he said loudly: "Send the order. In ten days, the land in Biandong New District will be auctioned. Anyone who buys a house in Biandong New District can register as a Kaifeng household registration and participate in the Kaifeng Prefecture imperial examination." , Royal Bank will provide young people with a down payment of 30%, an annual interest rate of 3%, and a loan of 30 years.”

"This..." Bao Kang and the other masters couldn't help but hold their breath. They believed that as soon as this statement came out, it would immediately cause an uproar, and countless people from all over the world would flock to Kaifeng Mansion to buy houses.

........................

As expected by Bao Kang, Fan Zheng's idea of ​​Biandong New District was published in Di Bao. The whole city of Kaifeng was excited about it, and it spread throughout the Song Dynasty at an alarming speed!

"The community has the price of ordinary residences, as well as the waterside lofts of luxurious mansions!"

Countless people in Kaifeng are excited. Living in Kaifeng city is not easy, and the land area is limited. The houses are short and narrow, and the prices are also high. This makes countless people in Kaifeng miserable.

Now that the Biandong New District is coming out, the high housing prices in Kaifeng City will definitely be stabilized, and people with far-sighted views are paying special attention to the Biandong New District.

Kaifeng Mansion, which is about to be relocated, has a novel community that allows ordinary people to enjoy the courtyards of wealthy mansions, plus supporting hospitals and schools. This has greatly attracted many wealthy households who have long been dissatisfied with the housing in Kaifeng City.

As the news spread, wealthy landowners from all over the country became even more excited. You must know that Kaifeng Prefecture is the imperial capital, and it occupies a lot of places in the imperial examination. Candidates from other places are envious and jealous, and some even risk their lives in the imperial examination. fraud.

But now you only need to buy a house in Kaifeng Prefecture, and you can take the imperial examination in Kaifeng. The money is less than the cost of cheating in the imperial examination, it is safer, and you can get valuable Kaifeng real estate. Rich people from all over the country are interested and bring a lot of money. Money poured into Kaifeng City.

As for the people outside the city, they have become fanatical supporters of Fan Zheng. They used to live in poverty outside the city, but now they own properties worth thousands of dollars, directly realizing a class jump.

Ten days later,

The Biandong land auction was held as scheduled, causing a sensation throughout the government and the public.

The price of land is related to the housing prices in Kaifeng City, but also to the court's taxes and the progress of the Northern Expedition. Of course, there are wealthy businessmen who need to pay and are watching every move of Kaifeng Mansion.

Inside Kaifeng Mansion! Almost all the famous wealthy businessmen in Kaifeng City gathered here.

Fan Zheng presided over the meeting and once again explained the future of Biandong New Area and the land policy of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Fan Zheng's land policy is extremely harsh. Rich businessmen need to pay a large amount of money to purchase land. After building a house, they also need to pay a large amount of taxes. The government occupies the majority. What's more, the money of house buyers must be placed in the Royal Bank for supervision and cannot be arbitrarily Use.

However, there are still countless businessmen flocking to it, and the price of land auctioned is also rising steadily, and the most elite land kings have even fetched sky-high prices.

A large amount of money flowed into Kaifeng Mansion like running water, and even the court was stunned by it. Such a huge wealth is enough to make anyone crazy.

However, what makes the court crazy is that this is only the first batch of money. As the land continues to be auctioned in the future, more and more money will flow into Kaifeng Mansion.

..............................

"To report to the officials, this is the money made from land sales in Kaifeng Mansion in the recent period!"

In Chui Gong Hall, Fan Zheng solemnly handed over the memorial! "

"Forty million strings!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but exclaimed after looking at the memorial.

Today, the Song Dynasty is extremely prosperous, and the imperial tax is only 20 million guan. However, just a batch of land in Kaifeng city can sell 40 million guan, which has reached 20% of the national tax.

"So many?"

The officials were also in an uproar. They naturally knew that land sales in Kaifeng Mansion were extremely popular, but they did not expect that they would make so much profit.

"Congratulations to the official family, no worries about money and food for the Northern Expedition!"

The officials suddenly said excitedly, there was no longer the indignant impeachment before.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but show a hint of excitement. He never thought that the people all over the world would be so crazy about the houses and household registrations in Kaifeng City. People from the Song Dynasty who came to buy houses were so crowded, and all the court paid was some worthless fields. ! With such high profits, even Zhao Xu couldn't resist the temptation.

Fan Zheng waved his hand and said: "Officials should not remember too early. Although the money from selling land is a lot, not all of it has to be turned over to the national treasury. Instead, it needs to compensate the people whose land was acquired, build resettlement houses, and build roads and hospitals in the east of the city. With supporting facilities such as schools and parks, we can continue to sell land in the future, and we can hand over up to 30 million yuan to the court. "

"That's enough!" Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction. The purpose of spending 10 million yuan was to continue to expand the new city so that he could continue to sell land in the future. This was a long-term business, and naturally he couldn't kill the goose to lay the eggs.

"To inform the officials, now that the imperial court has money and food, it is time to prepare for the Northern Expedition." Privy Councilor Zeng Bu said excitedly.

Zhao Xu was excited and said loudly: "How is the situation in the Liao-Jin war?"

Zeng Bu reported: "I have informed the officials that the Liao army claims to have attacked the Jin Kingdom with 700,000 soldiers. Chen's army is in the northeast. The Jin army was founded too short ago and has only 20,000 troops. Although the Jin army is brave, the Liao army also has firearms. The Jin army will be defeated." It's very possible, but the Jin Kingdom can hide in the white mountains, black waters, and snowy fields! There will definitely be a fight between the two armies."

"No, Yang thinks that this war with the Jin Kingdom will be a disaster. With 700,000 against 20,000, I really can't think of a reason for the Jin Kingdom to survive." Yang Wei objected.

Many ministers nodded and did not have any hope for the Kingdom of Jin.

Zhao Xu nodded slightly. Either of these two results would weaken the Liao Kingdom.

Of course, it would be best for both Liao and Jin to suffer losses, that is when the Song Dynasty will end and destroy the Liao Dynasty.

As for the possibility that the Jin Kingdom could defeat the Liao Kingdom that Fan Zheng once proposed, in everyone's eyes, it was simply a fantasy. If they had to catch 700,000 pigs, the Jin army would not be able to catch them all in less than half a year.

"Report, eight hundred miles away from Yanyun, hurry up!"

At this moment, a secret fold of eight hundred miles came in a hurry.

Yang Jian immediately stepped forward and presented the secret fold. Zhao Xu took it and took a look, his eyes widened with a look of disbelief.

Zeng Bu frowned when he saw this and said: "But the Jin Kingdom has been defeated, and the Liao Kingdom is going south with the power of destroying the Jin, preparing to attack the Song Dynasty?"

Other ministers were also worried. In their opinion, the only major event that could allow Yanyun to travel 800 miles to deliver news quickly was the Liao Kingdom's southward march.

Zhao Xu shook his head and said: "The Liao Kingdom did not go south, but when Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Dynasty went on an expedition, Yelv Zhangnu united to support Yelv Chun's rebellion. Yelu Yanxi lost ground and the 700,000-strong army returned in disastrous defeat."

"The Liao people were defeated!"

"The army of 700,000 was defeated by 20,000!"

..............................

In an instant, there was an uproar in the court.
