Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"This..." Gao Qiu was surprised and speechless.

Zhao Ning continued: "A month ago, did you think that no one would dare to buy this place?"

"maybe."

"Is it because you, Taiwei Gao, know better than I do!"

Gao Qiu was so frightened by Zhao Guanjia's words that he knelt down on the spot, and quickly said, "I deserve death for my crimes!"

Gao Qiu's heart is actually extremely unbalanced. He knows that Tokyo is now playing with the New Deal of selling land.

The problem is that he, Gao Lian, owns more than a dozen properties in Tokyo. Since the Song Huizong era, Gao Taiwei has been an old house speculator in the Song Dynasty.

At that time, Gao Lian often asked the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Army to repair houses for him.

The repaired houses are either rented out at a high price, or wait for Cai Jing to print money and the house price will skyrocket, and then sell at a good price.

There are still many officials like Gao Qiu in the Song Dynasty. Anyone who has been in the power center knows how profitable the Song Dynasty is in real estate speculation.

Not to mention the Song Huizong era with severe inflation, the housing prices in Tokyo City had already skyrocketed during the Shenzong era.

Even a former deputy prime minister like Su Zhe couldn't afford it.

The "welfare housing" of the prime ministers only started in the Shenzong era. Most of the previous senior officials, including the prime ministers, could only rent houses.

How much is the prime minister's monthly salary?

The monthly income of the prime minister is about 900 guan, and a copyist in Dongfu is about 1.5 guan a month.

In the Shenzong era, the housing prices in Tokyo City had already started at 9000.

The prime minister can buy a house without eating or drinking for 10 months.

However, the prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty were never promoted from nobles.

Officials who have really served as prime ministers have a lot of other expenses. If they want to buy real estate, they have to save for several years.

After all, there is no installment payment in this era.

Moreover, the profession of prime minister was very unstable in Song Dynasty. He was either forced to leave or dismissed.

Su Zhe, who had been a deputy prime minister, had saved up until his later years before he reluctantly bought a set.

Of course, Su Zhe gave too much dowry because he had too many daughters.

How long does an ordinary scholar need to accumulate to copy books in the government and become an official?

1.5 per month, it takes 6000 months, about 500 years without eating or drinking, and you can buy a house in Tokyo City.

Zhao Ning glanced at Gao Qiu and said, "Get up, you're quite old, kneeling in the snow, caught in the wind and cold, and rumors spread that I abused ministers."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I understand that they have objections to the land sale."

This is an affirmation of Gao Lian's information.

Zhao Ning turned around and walked towards the corridor. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and said, "How many sons do you have?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are two ministers, one is Gao Yaokang and the other is Gao Yaofu."

"Two sons, what's the use of holding so many houses in your hands?" While speaking, Zhao Guan's family had already walked towards the corridor, "If you don't bring it with you when you are born, if you don't take it with you when you die, you can live a comfortable life. It's useless, but it may cause unreasonable disasters."

Gao Qiu shivered suddenly and said, "Thank you for your instruction, Your Majesty."

Not long after, Zhao Ning arrived at the Chui Gong Hall, and the officials were already waiting.

Gao Qiu did not know when he had already entered the palace and stood among the ministers.

Zhao Ning sat on the dragon chair, with his back straight, and dressed in a crimson gauze robe, quite majestic.

After the ceremony, the hall fell into silence.

"Nothing today?" Zhao Ning asked.

The crowd was silent.

"Retire without incident." Zhao Ning said.

After finishing speaking, he stood up and wanted to withdraw, Zheng Xiunian, a Hanlin scholar, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Oh?" Zhao Ning stood beside the dragon chair, looking at Zheng Xiunian who came out, "What's the matter with Zheng Qing?"

"It's about the Fucheng New Deal issued a month ago. The new deal is really selling land a little too fast. I think there will be problems in this. After selling so much land, how many houses are built, and who will buy it? If no one buys it , How will those real estate companies repay the money they borrowed from the bank?"

Zheng Xiunian raised many questions in one breath.

This is what many people are wondering now.

However, they did not really care about this matter when they raised this doubt.

Zheng Xiunian's father was Zheng Juzhong, and Zheng Guifei and Zheng Juzhong were relatives during the Shenzong period. In the Song Huizong Dynasty, Zheng Juzhong was the grand minister and the son-in-law of Wang Gui, the deputy prime minister of the Shenzong Dynasty.

Unlike Zhao Ding and Qin Hui, who were promoted only in this dynasty, the Zheng family has accumulated three generations and has long been a wealthy family in Bianjing.

Speaking of which, Qin Hui's wife, Wang Shi, is Wang Gui's granddaughter, and the Zheng family and Qin Hui are related.

However, the Zheng family's family wealth on the surface is much more than that of Qin Hui, after all, it has been accumulated for several generations.

Of course, there is no need to talk about the Zheng family's real estate.

Bianjing Zheng's Mansion, which is a famous mansion, is located near the Temple of the Four Kings of Jinlong, on the banks of the Bian River, in the inner city, and close to the imperial city.

It is said that it is worth at least 60 guan, which is more valuable than He Li's 45 guan mansion.

Chapter 922 The counterattack of the vested interests (second change)

There was no shortage of money in the Great Song Dynasty. After all, there were [-] million laborers supporting it, as well as the most advanced technology and handicrafts from ancient times to the present, as well as a large number of "financial practitioners."

A monk's degree can be used to hype, and it is a dynasty jointly hyped by the emperor's prime minister, and money can be played with flowers.

Don't look at Cai Jing being listed as a traitor, and don't look at the harsh and domineering comments on Lu Yihao in history, they are all masters who can play with money.

Don't look at Gao Lian in history who only knew Cuju all day long, and this guy has a lot of real estate.

In the long history of ancient Chinese civilization, the dignitaries, wealthy businessmen and powerful people of the Song Dynasty could not fight wars. They said they were second in business, and no one in the ancient dynasty dared to say that they were first.

Zhao Ning stood beside the dragon chair, didn't speak, just looked down.

Some people in the court hall have already begun to whisper.

Obviously, everyone is still paying attention to this matter.

"Since Zheng Qing brought it up, can you all talk about it?" Zhao Ning said.

Han Cheng, a doctor in the official department, came out and said: "Your Majesty, the biggest problem with this matter is that if you suddenly buy so much land and build so many houses, if you can't sell it, it will be a big problem. It has nothing to do with changing rice into mulberry, It’s not the same as building official roads, changing rice to mulberry to borrow money from private merchants, and when the mulberry trees or mulberry leaves are mature, they can be sold for money, official roads and local governments can collect customs clearance fees, and all income can be repaid to the bank.”

"But if the house is built and cannot be sold, no one will be able to make up for the shortfall. Moreover, the shortfall is huge and the land price is still rising rapidly."

"Yes! Your Majesty, there are still risks in this." Zheng Xiunian immediately took the words.

"Who is responsible for bad debts in the bank?"

The ministers began to whisper again.

"It seems that you are still very concerned about the new policy of Fucheng." Zhao Ning said with a smile, "What do you think of what Zheng Xiunian and Han Cheng said?"

"Your Majesty, there are indeed risks in this regard."

"Your Majesty, it is also feasible to sell land and build houses, but everything should not be rushed, and should be done slowly." Wang Boyan also stood up.

"Your Majesty, after all, there are only a few who can afford a house." Lin Yifei, a doctor in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, also stood up.

Immediately more officials came forward.

"Your Majesty, this policy should indeed be postponed. A house can cost tens of thousands of yuan. How can so many people afford so much money? The imperial court suddenly sells so much land, and no one buys it after it is built. The consequences are disastrous!"

"Yes, Your Majesty! This matter must be delayed!"

"My ministers, please ask Your Majesty to take back the order!"

"..."

Everyone jumped out one after another, there were not 50 people, but there were 30 people.

It seems that this matter has indeed touched the interests of many people.

Zhao Ning didn't want to take care of this matter at first, this is actually a matter of the position of those who have vested interests.

The real estate structure of the Great Song Dynasty was relatively simple.

After all, before the Great Song Dynasty, there was no bank as a government office. Although the previous Zhao officials also sold land to enrich the national treasury, it was a rare case after all, and it was impossible to make it a pillar industry like in the 21st century.

The fundamental reason for the high housing prices in Tokyo City is the mismatch between supply and demand.

During the Xuanhe period, there were more than 130 million people in Tokyo.

In order to support business, the Song Dynasty did not impose household registration restrictions, which led to a large number of rural population flowing into the big cities.

Not only is there more than 100 million people in Tokyo, but Beijing Daming Mansion is also a famous city with a population of one million along the Yellow River.

The population is extremely dense, and living is just needed.

As a result, the land in the four capitals has become every inch of land and every inch of gold. In the Song Dynasty, a scholar-bureaucrat once wrote in his "Little Animal Collection": In the heavy city, under the double tower, every inch of land is the same price as gold. Fei Xun Qi's family lives in a place without gaps.

Not only are house prices high, but rental prices are also high.

For this reason, as early as the Zhenzong era, a purchase restriction policy was introduced, and officials were not allowed to purchase second properties.

Ran and egg.

It's too easy for people like Gao Qiu, the current imperial lieutenant, Zheng Xiunian, the second-generation official, and Han Cheng, the third-generation official, to want to buy more houses in private.

Of course, there are also large and small relatives.

For example, many foreign relatives in the current dynasty, running industries in Tokyo City, are like crucian carp crossing the river.

The underlying logic of housing prices is different in different backgrounds, but in the previous Song Dynasty, it was neither linked to the treasury nor to bank income, and was just a pure market commodity.

Since it is a pure market product, if you want to reduce the price, you just need to respect the pure market rule "supply and demand".

Zhao Ning walked down and walked up to Han Cheng. He said, "The Han family has eight houses in the capital. I remember correctly, right?"

Han Cheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, those are not ministers..."

"Don't deny it first, so as not to force me to show you evidence, so that the monarch and ministers can't get down." Zhao Ning said.

Han Cheng immediately shut up.

Han Cheng is the grandson of Han Qi, and his son is the famous Han Tuozhou.

Han Cheng's mother was Shenzong's third daughter, Princess Qi.

These people's official positions are not high, but their titles are prominent, and each of them is richer than the other.

"As of last year, there were nearly 200 million people in Tokyo, an increase of 10 people last year." Zhao Guanjia said, "As you all know, many people live in the partitions of a very simple log cabin with such a small piece of wood , separated out, and then slept in it, it’s just for someone to be alone.”

"Your Majesty is sympathetic to the benevolence of the people, and the ministers can fully understand." Lin Yifei said, "However, it is too dangerous to build a house in the outer city. First, there may be bandits robbing late at night, and second, the Jin army may come to the city again. Aren't the people in the outer city..."

"The golden man is coming to the city again?" Zhao Ning's tone turned cold in an instant, and the volume also increased, "Do you think the golden man can come to my Tokyo city again?"

Lin Yifei was startled, and quickly shut up.

"This year has been the tenth year of Jingkang, and it has been the tenth year for me to fight against the Jin Dynasty. I have spent so much money on the northern line, and you tell me that the Jin people can still be close to the city of Tokyo?" Zhao Ning stared at Lin Yifei, "Are you Do you think that the soldiers on the northern front are all for nothing, or do you think that all the princes in the court are mediocre fools?"

"I dare not! I was also in a moment of impatience and cared about people's livelihood, so I said the wrong thing." Lin Yifei quickly knelt down.

"Get up." Zhao Ning withdrew his anger just now.

As Lin Yifei said, he hadn't expanded the new city before, because he was really worried that the Jin army would really drive straight in. That's not a joke.

If you want to expand the new city, you must ensure the security of national defense.

Blocking this reason, Zhao Ning continued: "The common people have no place to stand, and the scholars have no place to live. Now I want to provide more housing. Not only do you not support it, but you also talk to me eloquently. Can't you sell it?"

"Come on, I'll do a calculation for you all!" Zhao Ning looked at Zheng Xiunian, "Your Zheng family's mansion is worth 60 yuan, which is equivalent to 199800 yuan per mu of land, isn't it?"

Chapter 923 The door to the new world is opened! (third change)

"This... this... Your Majesty, I don't know how much it is worth, I have never calculated it."

Zheng Xiunian stuttered.

He naturally knew how much his house was worth, and even the value of each mu was accurate to several digits after the decimal point.

But when Zhao Guanjia asked about it in the court, of course he immediately pretended to be confused.

"It's okay, you haven't calculated it, Wang Taiwei has done it for you."
