Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

"A house plus a small courtyard, kitchen, the total cost is 80 taels, and we have to control the quality and get stuck in the price of materials. There is also a three-room building plus a small courtyard, which is suitable, because It’s only 200 taels. The store’s price is 400 taels, but I have a good idea!” Jian Cong said.

Under the watchful eyes of Jinhua, Shen Luo and Baili Songran, Jian Cong took out a blueprint: "How about it, 270 taels is enough, and a small courtyard, half an acre of land is enough."

Shen Luo took a look: "It's treacherous enough, it's a pity that you don't become a profiteer."

"I'm doing it for their own good. When the time comes, I'll talk with Master Baili?" Jian Cong said.

"Okay." Shen Luo nodded, he was really talented.

"Brick and tile kilns, lumber yards, and plasterers, carpenters, and painters, can you all get it together?" Shen Luo asked.

"It's all right, the officials are already making arrangements." Jin Hua said.

"What kind of investment proposal, you assist Jian Cong and Songran to do it, and when it is done, Songran will be responsible for interviewing merchants." Shen Luo pointed to Jinhua.

"Yes, I must do a good job as an official." Recently, because of this matter, he has been highly valued, and he has also gained a name in Zuo Xiang, which can be regarded as the smoothest day since his official career.

At a corner of the beach in Nancheng, when the notice about the government government's expropriation of the houses in the last seven rows along the coast came out, many common people and merchants and officials in the imperial capital started talking about it.

Only one day later, the Huangdu was covered with notices on the overall renovation of the southern city and the renovation of the Huangdu flood discharge ditch.

You San and the others played a huge role when many people were confused and even worried that their homes would be demolished and there was nowhere to rent them.

"The tenants in the front seven rows are already making orderly arrangements to move to the vacant house at the back. Our people found the house, and there are also people who help with the moving. In addition, the rent will not change." Southeast is relatively calm. drop report.

"There are more than 350 courtyards in seven rows, and more than 1000 households. This kind of relocation is still very influential." Shen Luo said: "Did you tell the common people that the houses we rebuilt are imperial courts, double-storey, and more Bigger, more comfortable, and the rent remains the same?"

"I've said it, the common people can't believe it." Southeast Prime Minister said.

"It's okay, when the previous one is done, I'll have someone to watch it." Shen Luo thought of the "model house" mentioned by Jian Cong.

As soon as Shen Luo returned to the mansion in the evening, Prince Qi and Elder Tong Ge met.

"Why didn't you say a word about such a big matter?" Ci Wenhao complained.

"This is just for the purpose of throwing stones to ask the way before. I don't want to tell the prince and the old man. I want you to stay out of the matter first. If there is anything wrong, you won't be criticized, saying that we are pulling the mountain." Shen Luo said It was so appropriate that Mr. Tong Ge and Prince Qi couldn't help but nod their heads.

"But have you thought about the money needed for the reconstruction of Nancheng?" Tong Ge said.

"Land acquisition, including construction, I estimate about 800 million." Shen Luo said.

Citing Wenhao sighed: "800 million taels, do you know how much the military expenditure of the entire Dafeng is for a year?"

"It's less than 400 million taels!" Shen Luo said.

"Well, but 400 million taels has raised millions of people." Ci Wenhao looked at him: "How much money can you have in your hands as the governor of the imperial capital?"

Shen Luo took a booklet and handed it to Prince Qi.

Citing Wenhao took it and took a look: "The emperor paid 100 million taels?" After speaking, he raised his head to look at Shen Luo: "You gave 20 taels, Baili's family gave 10 taels, Qian's family gave 10 taels, and Lian Guowei paid 20 taels. The adults paid [-] taels."

"Elder Ge and the prince have a look at this." Shen Luo took out the investment brochure that Jian Cong and Baili Songran made together, as well as the map, and gave them to them together.

Elder Tong Ge and Prince Qi exchanged views for about half an hour.

"Hey!" Citing Wenhao heaved a sigh of relief: "This is a long-term business, no worse than buying a shop directly."

After reading the suggestions including sanitation, waterlogging prevention and drinking water, Mr. Tongge said directly: "I have 15 taels of private money, and I will give it to you."

Shen Luo smiled slightly: "Don't worry, Mr. Ge, I won't lose your money. Merchants and common people will pay the bills for these houses in the end."

Old Tong Ge looked at him noncommittally: "A Luo, you are good at everything, you must not do things that oppress the people."

Shen Luo nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Ge, everything I do is for the people of the imperial capital and for the long-term development of the imperial capital."

Citing Wenhao thought for a while: "The emperor has paid for it, don't talk about it, he must fully support this matter. I will go home and discuss with Wang Jun, and I will give you 20 taels, which can be regarded as supporting you. "

Shen Luo nodded: "Thank you, my lord, I'm afraid it's better not to hide this matter."

"Oh?" Citing Hao frowned: "What do you mean?"

"The emperor is also open and honest. Only when the emperor's intentions are put here, can everyone's intentions be guaranteed. Moreover, this matter is not for the benefit of a certain person, but a good deed worthy of word of mouth from the people of the imperial capital in the future. It is an example for other states to emulate."

Citing Wenhao nodded after hearing this: "That's the truth, but you have a lot of trouble in the operation process. Do you know how many mansions are renting in Nancheng."

Shen Luo nodded: "I know, that's why the first step was to invite Xiang Baili in, not the prince and elder Ge."

Citing Wenhao smiled: "It's interesting, it seems that Brother Huang's touchstone wine has a lot of stamina."

"The more pure and fragrant it is." Shen Luo's words moved Ci Wenhao a little.

The money of Mr. Tongge and Prince Qi was sent to the yamen of Huangdu Headquarters with great fanfare the next day, without any cover-up, which caused some officials who were watching to discuss.

The news that Baili's family and the emperor have already paid for the money spread like wildfire, and even the censors who wanted to find a chance to grab Shen Luo's braid and read a few books by him spread like wildfire. remained silent.

The right minister, Yun Changkong, wrote a letter to Yun Mo of Fenzhou: "Return as soon as we are done."

"That's 1905 million taels. If the imperial treasury bank hasn't been touched yet, wouldn't it be a full-fledged start immediately?" Baili looked at the account book and said.

"Think about it!" Jian Cong said, "This is just a reserve fund for buying the land. It may cost seven or eight million taels of silver when it is built before and after."

Baili swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Seven, eight million taels? Are you crazy?"

Shen Luo smiled: "It's not crazy, 200 million is the cost of turning around, and with it, the drainage of the entire South City and even other places can be solved."

"How to solve this, your money can produce money?" Baili looked at him in disbelief.

Jian Cong nodded: "In your master's plan, money begets money indeed!"

"The new civilian small courtyard, two-storey building, every three buildings is a courtyard, and the cost is 200 taels. The shop costs 270 taels, which means that it costs 1000 two hundred and seventy taels to earn a 70-year shop. What 'ownership'?" King Yue asked, "What is this ownership?"

"That is to say, the rent for 30 years belongs to you, but the land does not belong to you. After 30 years, it will be returned to the imperial court." His counselor said.

"Isn't that crazy?" Yue Wang said disdainfully.

"Although it is said that the lowest is calculated, the cost can be recovered in five years, and the next 25 years will be earned! It is safe, and it is safer than lending usury."

"Compared to selling Zhuangzi and shops?" King Yue asked.

"That one comes in faster, but this one is safe."

The king of Yue thought about it: "There is no hurry, we will talk about it after they start."

"But my lord, the emperor has already paid for it. I'm afraid it's not that simple?" Cen An, the prison envoy of the prison yamen in the imperial capital, is a member of the king of Yue, and he is also a pawn that he arranges under the governor of the imperial capital. .

King Yue snorted coldly: "Brother Huang really paid out 100 million taels, and Guowei also paid out, but my good father-in-law didn't reveal the slightest bit of news, and took the lead, and even took Song Ran in to claim credit."

Cen An thought about it: "So, my lord, you must not move, and you must not move too late. Now the poor people in the imperial capital are all blown up, and they have praised Shen Luo as a poor man!"

"A poor boy? Humph!" King Yue smiled, "Without Brother Huang, it would be impossible for him to make this move silently. Brother Huang is just probing. Both the Yun family and Shen Luo are standing in the front. I'm afraid it will have a bright future."

"The news from Fenzhou, Yun Mo has taken a lot of people. In this matter, Yun Mo seems to be using his father's disciples to climb up." Cen An was in charge of the prison, and the news came very quickly.

"Send 20 taels, let Songran hand it over to Shen Luo, and I will show my attitude in front of my father-in-law at the right time, and let him know that I support his son." King Yue said.

"Then I'll invite Mr. Baili to come. Just ask him. He must know a lot." Cen An said: "My lord, Shen Luo is a man who acts swiftly and resolutely, unlike a novice. The more he is like this, it means that the people behind him The more difficult people are, the less we can be sloppy."

King Yue nodded: "You are right, go arrange it, please come here."

Early the next morning, Baili slapped Shen Luo in front of him, "20 taels, the king of Yue gave it, and even took all the materials. This is my first time opening a business!"

"A credit to you!" Shen Luo smiled.

Baili sat down calmly: "Well, am I going to walk around the merchant's place?"

"No hurry!" Shen Luo smiled: "I hang a few moths, I have to take them out and kill them, so that anyone who cares will be scared."

"The imperial governor announced that compensation for land requisition will be based on the land purchase price plus three-year rent compensation. For example, the land price is 500 taels, the rent for a house is 750 renminbi, 27 renminbi a year, and 81 renminbi for three consecutive years. 580 taels of silver. One courtyard and three houses, that is, [-] taels of silver. A total of [-] taels." (One tael and one thousand texts)

"How can it be possible to pay such a small amount, the land price has risen, this is not acceptable!" Some landlords called out on the spot.

Some people clamored, but the land expropriation was naturally not vegetarian.

The tenants moved out ahead of time, and they couldn't be stopped, but the yamen servant and You San came to talk during the day and at night.

Finally, a notice was issued, "The wooden house is a dilapidated house. If there is a fire hazard, those who do not want to enter for compensation and continue to keep the original place must start from scratch according to the government's standards."

Starting from scratch has aroused many people's thoughts.

They went to inquire one after another, starting from the new house, from planning to construction, all must be done by government workers, and even the area is required, more money will be refunded, less land will be purchased, and the land price to be purchased is still the standard of the year.

Many people hesitated again, and this time, all the houses were built by themselves, and the land and house deeds had to be re-issued, and the contract had to be signed. Once the house leaked and caught fire, the government would confiscate the money.

Of course, there are those who think about it, and those who have evil intentions at the same time.

Seven rows, 350 three courtyards, all chose to get money and settle down.

The houses in the front row began to be demolished, and the demolished ones actually dug deep pits directly. Many people expressed their ignorance, and only then guessed that it was about the drainage ditches.

Many poor people who rent houses have a good impression of this beginning. As far as the drainage ditches are concerned, they know that their future will be far away from waterlogging.

"Shengtang!" Shen Luo, who hadn't personally tried the case in the yamen of the imperial capital for ten days, came to the court in person, and a large number of people came to watch. Zhu Er is one of the landlords who paid compensation in the early stage.

"Boldly wish you two, you can be convicted!" Shen Luo slapped the gavel and shouted.

"My lord, the villain doesn't know what crime I committed, so why did you arrest me?" Zhu Er was arrested yesterday, and he was in a daze. The neighbor in front of him had all the money, but his hasn't arrived yet, so it was strange Well, he was arrested.

"I don't know what crime, you deceived the government, and you are suspected of defrauding the court of money, can you plead guilty?" Shen Luo had a cold face, he didn't smile much in front of outsiders, and now he has a face of asking for money, which naturally makes people feel scared.

"I, the villain didn't cheat for money, and the compensation from the court hasn't even come down!" Zhu Er quibbled.

Seeing his appearance, Shen Luo sneered, and picked up a piece of paper: "You wrote in the three-year rent compensation that you have three houses in one yard, and each room can be rented for three taels a month. One year is one hundred and ten yuan for one yard." Baliang, you have five yards under your name, which is 500 taels, and the compensation for the land price of your five yards is only [-] taels. You are pointing at the compensation to get rich!"

The onlookers let out a wow. It’s too dark. Three taels can rent the entire yard. The annual expenditure of the people in the imperial capital is only 30 taels. According to Zhu Er’s calculation, the rent of their family is more than others’. Ordinary people don't eat or drink for more than a year.

"My lord, our house is located in a good location, so the rent is expensive!" Zhu Er complained: "You can't be reluctant to lose money, just accuse me of deceiving the government!"

"Boldly wish Er, do you dare to be responsible for your words?" Shen Luo patted the gavel, and the yamen servant shouted 'mighty'.

"This, me!" Zhu Er thought for a while: "I dare to take responsibility!"

"Okay, you don't cry when you see the coffin. Pass the witness!" Shen Luo patted the gavel.

"Who is kneeling down?"

"Xiao Min Cha Hua, I rented Master Zhu's house five years ago, and this is the lease at that time." Cha Hua handed over a list with Zhu Er's signature on it.

"Little Min Caizhong, I have been renting Master Zhu's house. This is the lease agreement, which also includes the list of price increases and changes later." Another list.

"Xiaomin, Benjie the dog, has been renting Master Zhu's house for six years. This is the list." There are several more lists.

Shen Luo raised the list in his hand: "Six years ago, the monthly rent for a house was 750 Wen, and this year it is [-] Wen. Your house is very remote, and you can't even rent the normal price of [-] Wen. How dare you report it for [-] Wen?" Two? This is still a tenant in the yard, do you want to meet other people?"

"My lord, me?" Zhu Er hastily kowtowed: "The little man knows his mistake."

"I'm sorry, it's late. I'll hit twenty first, and I'll try again later." Shen Luo slapped the table, and the yamen servant stepped forward, pulled Zhu Er in the courtyard, stripped his pants in front of the crowd, and gave him a crackling beating.
