Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

After Laba is the New Year.

Suddenly news came from the palace that Concubine Xue Gui died suddenly.

The capital, which had been beaming because the New Year was coming, seemed to have been splashed with cold water and instantly cooled down.

Concubine Xue's death brought back memories from a few months ago. In that palace change, many people died.

Just one Jingxi battalion was almost paralyzed.

During that time, every family in the capital seemed to have funerals to do.

Also, the two thousand Heavenly Wolf Army led by Pei Meng lived in Jingxi Camp. I heard that I practiced all day and never slack off.

Everyone came back to their senses. If the Heavenly Wolf Army did not leave, the palace change would not be over.

Whoops, can this year pass?

In a few days, the capital will be bloody again.

I can't! The prince has been established, and there will be no chaos. If Concubine Xue died, she died in a proper place.

Early in the morning, the low-level officials of the Ministry of Housing and Yamen gathered together to chat.

Concubine Xue Gui died well, but why is there a sudden death in the palace? Are there any other reasons?

Who knows! Maybe His Majesty didn't want Concubine Xue's life, but Concubine Xue died because she couldn't think of it.

Cough cough...

The lord is here.

See your lord.

Everyone gathers here to do something, and don't hurry to do something.

The Minister of the Ministry of Accounts had a stern face and was not angry and arrogant.

There is still time to get together to chat and gossip, it seems that there are still too few errands. Arrange more errands for them.

The Minister of Household has been a little worried recently.

The emperor's physical condition was getting worse and worse, and he could no longer get out of bed.

Not sure when it will be...

The emperor Jinkou Yuyan said that the funeral should be organized.

The money for the funeral must be paid by the household.

But the Ministry of Finance's treasury is so empty that mice can run away,

Where to find fifty or sixty thousand taels for the emperor's funeral.

Next year's tax silver will be distributed long ago, and not a single one will be left. The salaries of Beijing officials are still in arrears, and the New Year is almost here, so I have to make up for this year's salaries, so that everyone can have a less shabby year.

Money, money, he was dying of worry.

They are both finance and taxation departments. The Shaofu next door is very rich, but the household department is very poor.

The master knew the heartbreak of the Minister of the Ministry of Housing, and gave him an idea, Sir, the Ministry of Household has no money, but there is a lot of money outside the South City Gate. For such a big construction site, millions of taels of silver have been invested in it. , the mere hundreds of thousands of taels are just idle.

The Minister of the Household snorted, Don't care how much money there is outside the South City Gate, it's not the money of the Household.

The master has a color that is not rotten by three inches, My lord asked for an order to set up a county, and before the New Year, the county government should be erected first, and the first money will be collected from outside the Nancheng Gate after the new year.

After that, all kinds of taxes and fees are collected, which is not a small amount of income. Xiaguan heard that the market outside the Nancheng Gate was extremely popular, and merchants from all over the world came to do business there, and the daily inflow and outflow was astonishing.

However, because there is no county, the land is still owned by Mrs. Zhao. The tax officer can only ask Mrs. Zhao to collect her share of the tax, the tax on the market, and the tax on the migrant population with registered household registration. . These are all silver coins.

Seeing Bai Huahua's silver floating by in front of his eyes, but unable to collect it, the master was very hurt and his heart ached.

Equally heartbroken is the Minister of the Ministry of Housing.

He asked the master, The market outside Nancheng Gate is really red?

Xiaguan dare not deceive the adults, the market is crowded every day, and they are all rushing to buy low-quality and high-quality goods. Even many people in the capital would prefer to travel another seven or eight miles to go outside the gate of Nancheng. Market shopping. Many businesses in the capital are complaining that their business has been taken away.”

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing thought for a while, Call someone to prepare the carriage and horses, and this official will go outside the South City Gate to take a look.

The master smiled and hurriedly called people to prepare.

After the Minister of Hu got into the carriage, he went out of the city directly through the south gate.

Out of the city gate, not far away, is the shack area where the refugees gather.

In the past, the Minister of the Ministry of Household came here several times, but at that time it was all to relieve the victims.

He hadn't been here since Gu Jiu's business outside the South City Gate.

In my memory, the shack area was so disgusting that it was so disgusting that I could spit out overnight meals. It was unbelievably clean.

The children running and jumping in the shack area are all wearing thick cotton-padded clothes and walking on cotton shoes.

Compared with the tragic scene of countless refugees dying of starvation and freezing every day, it was nothing short of a world.

He still remembered that when he visited here last winter, there were also children running and jumping on the road.

The child was wearing a single shirt, bare feet, a runny nose, and a dirty body. Looking at people's eyes, there is the light of hungry cannibalism, and there is also a deep hatred.

Those children have hated the government since childhood.

In just one year, in the same place, the same refugee children, all of them were smiling and smiling happily.

They wore thick cotton coats and newly made cotton shoes, running and playing on the clean and tidy ground, carefree.

Children's eyes are no longer hungry for food, they have shaken off hunger and are full of hope for the future.

The Minister of the Ministry of Commerce got out of the carriage and did not allow the carriage to follow, but only brought a few entourages and masters to accompany him.

He focused on shack areas.

The shack was half as small as I remembered.

The place that was originally full of garbage heaps has been surrounded by walls, and inside the walls are houses that have been built.

The master said next to it, Sir, this is the second phase of the project, which is for sale to the outside world, mainly for the needs of the small people in the capital.

The Minister of the Chamber of Commerce hummed, Has the house here been sold?

Just as he was talking, a group of neatly dressed people came out of the gate of the second phase talking and laughing.

The Minister of Household directly stepped forward, Excuse me, who should I look for to buy a house?

Are you also here to buy a house? Unfortunately, you are late. The first batch of houses in the second phase was sold out half a month ago. We are here to get the keys today, and we will start moving tomorrow. in the new house.

You, all of you bought the house here? The Minister of the Ministry of Housing was a little surprised.

These people are dressed neatly. But by looking at the fabrics, the uppers of the shoes, and the appearance, you can see that they are all ordinary people in the capital, working every day to earn a day's worth. The money you earn is enough to eat and drink, not to buy a house.

The house here is good, sturdy and cheap. It is surrounded by walls, and it is not far from the south gate. Of course, if you have money, you must buy it.

There are three generations of eleven people in my family, who are crowded into two rooms, and there is really no place to stay. The children are getting older, and they have to buy a new house or at least give them a separate room. .Or else the girl would not marry me.

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing tried to ask: The houses here are not cheap, aren't they?

Of course it's not cheap. One building costs more than 100 taels. Fortunately, you can buy a house with a loan. You can get the keys and move into the new house as long as you pay 10 taels of silver.

The loan interest rate is so high...

Not too high, not too high. An old man interrupted the Ministry of Housing Minister's words, Many banks now follow the Shaofu bank, and the monthly interest is only one cent and five percent. This is already very cheap. But the mortgage is cheaper than this, less How much is the interest released by the government a year?

One-year interest three and five percent.

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing and the entourage behind him all took a deep breath.

The annual interest is only three cents and five percent, which is not only a conscience price, but a losing business.

One hundred and two houses, even if the loan is ten years or eight years, the interest is only a few dozen taels.

No wonder the people in the capital, with only a few taels of silver in their savings, dare to use the money to buy a house.

The old man was cheerful, obviously happy that the group of people in front of him were shocked.

You are all from out of town. Many people like you look like this when they hear such a low interest rate. But it's unfortunate that you came here. The houses here have been sold out. If you want to buy them, you will have to wait until the spring of next year. Only then did the new house come out.”

Thank you for letting me know. The Minister of the Chamber of Commerce said politely.

No thanks. You can go in and stroll around. There are model houses, you can look at them casually.

The Minister of the Ministry of Commerce walked into the gate of the second phase with curiosity.

The second phase is divided into two parts, one side is the construction site, which is separated by wooden boards. On one side is the small second floor that has been built and neatly arranged.

Find the model home and go in there.

From the perspective of the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce, the house does not have any beauty at all, but it is strong, exquisite and small, and it has all the things it should have.

Each suite has as few as four bedrooms and as many as seven or eight bedrooms. A family is enough.

Due to different prices, some houses have small gardens and wells. Such houses cost more than two hundred taels of silver. In terms of prices in the capital, it is still terrifyingly cheap.

Some houses only have a small patio for lighting and do not have a well. You have to go to a public well to get water. Such a house, with only a hundred or so taels, is still terrifyingly cheap.

Inside the house, all painted white walls.

Houses, like soldiers in line, are neatly arranged together.

This Gu Jiu really has a clear mind.

The Minister of the Ministry sighed with emotion.

The master said: The small house with a garden here is not bad. At such a cheap price, I am a little moved to buy one. If I don't live, I can rent it.

Several other followers nodded again and again, they also thought the same.

The house is strong, neatly planned and beautiful. Small is small, but sparrows are small and complete.

More than a hundred taels are not expensive. It is very good to buy a few buildings here and lease them to businessmen traveling from south to north, or to go to Beijing.

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing laughed, I am a little moved by what you guys said. Let's go, let's go to the first phase of the project to take a look.

The master hurriedly introduced, The first phase is full of refugees, and half of them have already lived in. The next official heard that according to Mrs. Zhao's plan, when the spring of next year, the shack area will be forcibly demolished, and all the refugees must buy a house and move out. No. If you buy a house, you can’t work on the construction site to earn money.”

To deal with these refugees, Gu Jiu's methods are one set after another. If she wants to forcibly demolish the shacks, she is not afraid of the refugees making trouble?

The master laughed, Of course I'm not afraid. Those refugees have long been tamed by the guards under Mrs. Zhao.

Oh?

The Minister of the Ministry of Housing was full of curiosity.
