"Bang!"

In the Wei Mansion, Wei Siren angrily dropped the teacup in his hand.

"It's too much! It's just too much! How can those imperial histories be so shameless? What is to uphold justice for the people and picket corrupt officials for the court, all of them are fake, and they are all for their own interests! ”

In Chang'an City, there are no absolute secrets.

When He Qinlao and Yang Benman took the initiative to propose the construction of another palace at the court meeting, everyone was silent.

After all, a few days ago, Li Kuan had just promised to build office space for free in the workshop city for the various yamen of the imperial court, and now that He Qinlao and they proposed to build individual palaces, it was really difficult for the household department to stand up and refuse.

However, when the news spread, everyone's reaction was different.

"Lang Jun, then Yang Benman bought hundreds of houses in Workshop City, which is something that the entire Chang'an City knows. Now he is instigating His Majesty to build a palace near the workshop city, doesn't he just hope that the imperial court will focus on the development of the workshop city, doesn't he just want more people to buy houses in the workshop city, and doesn't he just hope that the price of the house in his hand can rise. Your Majesty is eloquent and strategic, and he will definitely be able to see Yang Benman's face clearly, and he will definitely not build a large number of buildings. ”

Wei Bao said comforting words that he didn't even believe, but he sighed in his heart.

In recent years, the development of the Chengnan carriage company has been very smooth, and it is firmly on the throne of the second largest carriage company in Datang.

Especially this year, the workshop city, Guiyifang and other places are building a lot of construction, Chang'an City, the demand for four-wheeled carriages has risen rapidly, not only Mercedes-Benz four-wheeled carriages sell very well, the south of the city carriage dealers also benefit.

However, all the proceeds of the carriage shop in the south of the city were invested by Wei Siren in the construction of the houses in Guiyifang.

If, like the previous half a year, you can earn back two pennies by investing one penny, that would definitely be a good thing.

But after this heavy rain, the Guiyi Workshop was completely abandoned.

Not only is the house price one price a day, but it is constantly falling, and now there are no two people in the sales office who can even look at the house.

This makes Wei Bao, who is ready to further expand the strength of the carriage shop in the south of the city next year and go to Luoyang and Liangzhou to start the workshop branch, is cool and cool in his heart.

"No, I have to go into the palace to visit my aunt, and let my aunt persuade Your Majesty, don't fall for Yang Benman."

What is the future of Workshop City? It means that the future of Guiyi Fang is even more bleak.

Still doing the dying Wei Siren? Naturally, I don't want the imperial court to really focus on the development of the workshop city.

"This ......" Wei Bao couldn't help but be entangled when he heard it, "Lang Jun? I heard that His Majesty is very fond of Xu Cairen, who has just entered the palace, this year? The construction of the palace must be in line with His Majesty's wishes? If you let the noble lady persuade her, maybe it will cause His Majesty's dissatisfaction? That's more than worth the loss. ”

Wei Guifei is an important guarantee for the Wei family to be able to sit firmly in their current position? Wei Bao, as the son of the Wei family and the shopkeeper of the carriage shop in the south of the city, naturally did not want the banner of the Wei family to fall out of favor in the Daming Palace.

"Humph! That Xu Cairen, isn't it because he is young and beautiful? Your Majesty, what peerless beauty has not seen? A year and a half at most? I'm definitely tired of playing. ”

Xu Cairen is favored, and the first person to be threatened is Wei Guifei.

As for the eldest grandson queen who is sick in bed, her status is too special for anyone to compare.

"Lang Jun, if you really can't do it? Why don't we go to Workshop City to buy a house? ”

Wei Bao didn't want to continue to discuss the topic of Xu Cairen with Wei Siren, which was obviously a taboo.

Although Xu Hui just entered the palace last year? But after entering the palace, you can't let go of the scroll? The poems are very beautiful, and the writing is very agile? Putting pen to paper? Is it a typical talented woman? is very favored by Li Shimin, and it is not Wei Siren's mouth that he won Li Shimin's favor just because he was young and beautiful.

"What do you say? You asked me to buy a house in Workshop City? ”

Wei Siren's eyes glared at Wei Bao angrily, and he was almost angry in his heart.

If it weren't for Wei Bao's dedication to serving the Wei family, his ancestors and grandchildren have been stewards of the Wei family for several generations, and Wei Siren would have slapped him directly.

Buying a house in Workshop City?

Where is my face going?

"Lang Jun, don't be angry first, listen to me slowly!"

Wei Bao, as the most powerful shopkeeper of the Wei family, naturally would not soften directly because of Wei Siren's question.

"Hmph, I'll see which side your ass is sitting on!"

"Although the construction of His Majesty's palace has not yet been determined, it is very likely that it will be built; Even if it is not repaired this year, it will be built next year or the year after. In addition, the imperial court has basically agreed to the plan proposed by His Royal Highness the King of Chu to build a yamen in the workshop city for free, and it is estimated that construction will start next year at the latest.

It is conceivable that at that time, the ministers of the DPRK and China will all work in the workshop city, and they will not be able to go back and forth between the workshop city and Chang'an City every day, and they will definitely buy industries in the workshop city; And once His Majesty's palace is completed, it is likely that every once in a while, His Majesty will directly handle government affairs in the palace, and even hold court meetings there. In this case, it is even more impossible for the courtiers to set off from Chang'an City before dawn every day to go to the palace for a court meeting, maybe the gate of Chang'an City has not yet been opened. ”

Webber wasn't the kind of bug, he had his own ideas.

"Hmph, these are your assumptions!"

Although Wei Siren felt that what Wei Bao said made some sense, he refused to admit it.

"Lang Jun, it is precisely because these things have not yet become a reality that the housing prices in the workshop city have not risen sharply. In the past two days, I have arranged for people to go to the sales office of the workshop city every day to count the flow of people, and I also went to various dental stores to inquire about the number of units sold and the price changes of those houses in the workshop city.

To put it mildly, the houses in Workshop City have turned from difficult to sell to hot sales. Although this sign is not particularly obvious, since the sales office of Workshop City adjusted the price to the level at the beginning of the year, the situation that a unit has not been sold has begun to be broken. ”

Wei Bao wanted to persuade Wei Siren, naturally he did not rely on empty white teeth alone, but made a lot of preparations.

"You mean to say that the houses in Workshop City have risen by 30% recently?"

"That's right! If the previous workshop city sales office adjusted the price to the level at the beginning of the year, just to stabilize the people who have already bought a house, then now their purpose has been fully realized. In recent days, at least a dozen houses have been transacted at adjusted prices. At present, there are still two or three hundred houses in the first phase of the new launch in Workshop City, so many people who are waiting and waiting have not yet made a move. Once everyone is sure that the wind direction has changed, it will be too late for us to buy it. ”

Wei Bao thought of the hundreds of houses in Yang Benman's hands, which were really bought at the reserve price.

In just one month, it has appreciated by 30%.

No wonder he risked being looked down upon, and he also had to persuade Li Shimin to go to the workshop city to build a palace at the court meeting.

"Is that really that exaggerated?"

Wei Siren looked at Wei Bao suspiciously.

Although he is not happy with Li Kuan, he will not be unhappy with the silver coin.

"It's true! Lang Jun, if we eat these two or three hundred houses in one go, maybe we can make up for more than half of the losses we suffered in Guiyifang. If you let the eldest grandson family or the Du family make the first move, you will regret it at that time. Especially the Du family, in fact, their relationship with the Chu Wangfu is not as bad as we imagined.

You must know that the Chu Wangfu and the Fang Mansion are inseparable friends, and the relationship between the Fang Mansion and the Du Mansion is very good, plus the Du family's cotton fields in Shuozhou and the sugarcane fields in Guangzhou are all related to the Chu Wangfu. ”

"Not really, right?"

"If it's just a few hundred or thousands of dollars, it's really not. But if it's tens of thousands of dollars, it's not necessarily! Besides, we don't necessarily use the name of the Wei family to buy, we can find a name that everyone is not familiar with to go through the procedures for the purchase of houses in the workshop city, and when the house prices in the workshop city rise sharply, everyone must rush to buy, at that time, even if the eldest grandson family and the Du family know that we have made a move in advance, it is not easy to say anything, I can only admire Lang Jun You have a vision! ”

Wei Bao's words can be regarded as strengthening Wei Siren's confidence.

In fact, he was so angry today because he found that he couldn't stop the rise of the workshop city and couldn't save the decline of Guiyifang.

Now after Wei Bao said this, Wei Siren felt that it seemed more reliable to simply recover his losses from the Workshop City.

"That'...... Then you should give it a try! ”

After Wei Siren said this, he didn't want to continue talking.

After all, he also wants to save face.

……

In the Daming Palace, after Li Shimin came out of the Empress Changsun, he came to the side of the Taiye Pool in a depressed mood.

Xu Hui on the cruise ship saw Li Shimin's figure and immediately docked.

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

Xu Hui himself is not a person who loves to fight, but when he enters the palace, he has to fight if he doesn't fight.

She watched Li Shimin come out of Penglai Hall with her own eyes just now, so she naturally knew why Li Shimin was unhappy.

"It's windy on the lake, so you have to be careful not to catch a cold."

Li Shimin saw that it was Xu Hui, and his mood was slightly better.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, I'm fine. It's sunny today, and it's nice to sit on a cruise ship and read the newspaper. ”

"Oh? What's interesting in the newspapers today? ”

"Not to mention, there really is! Several newspapers, such as "Datang Daily" and "Weishui Daily", reported that the ministers of the court asked His Majesty to build a palace near the workshop city, which would not only solve the problem of displaced people, but also allow His Majesty to have a better place to vacation. Although the Daming Palace is magnificent and novel, I heard that there is a hot spring in the workshop city, if there is a hot spring directly in the palace, maybe it can be built all year round, which should be of great benefit to the recovery of the queen's body. ”

Xu Hui is very good at finding topics, and she also knows how to guide the topic in the direction she wants.

But it won't arouse Li Shimin's disgust.

"Build a palace?"

Li Shimin hesitated.

When Yang Benman made this suggestion, Li Shimin wanted to say that he was not moved at all, it must be false.

It's just that he needs to maintain his image of being diligent and thrifty and loving the people, so he is embarrassed to agree directly.

Now listening to Xu Hui's analysis, the construction of the palace is actually good for the physical recovery of Empress Changsun, and he is immediately moved.

Don't look at the fact that he loves Xu Hui very much now, but deep down, his favorite will always be the eldest grandson queen.

"That's right! The style of Daming Palace is still relatively solemn, and His Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and sometimes he also needs to rest. At this time, it is important to have a suitable palace for play. The workshop city is not very far from the Daming Palace, and there is also an opera house, a gymnasium and a garden of ten thousand beasts, whether it is to play in the palace or to go outside, it is very convenient.

Besides, the "Fortune Weekly" published by the Business School of Guanshishan Academy said that coins are only money in the real sense when they are circulated, otherwise no matter how much money is placed in the treasury and does not participate in the sale, then these coins are just some useless metals. Whether it's to make more money from the coins in the treasury, or to let those coins create new wealth, we need to make the coins flow.

The construction of a new palace inevitably requires the purchase of a lot of materials, which require a large amount of coins, which is equivalent to circulating the coins in the treasury. If His Majesty is worried about the infamy of building the palace, he can use the money from the treasury to build it, and then no one can say anything. After all, Your Majesty, you have just allocated a million yuan from the treasury to the household department for disaster relief, and the people of Chang'an City have long been full of gratitude. ”

Xu Hui is a talented woman, this is not blown.

Whether it is qinqi, calligraphy and painting, or the "Science" magazine of Guanshishan Academy, or the "Fortune Weekly" and various newspapers of the Business School, she will read every issue.

The point is that she can still understand it!

"Do you think Fortune Weekly's theory is correct? According to their theory, advocating all kinds of spending is contrary to our traditional virtue of frugality. ”

Li Shimin naturally read the article on "Fortune Weekly", and in fact, this article has just been published, which has caused a lot of criticism.

In particular, when this article was published, it was at a time when the disaster relief work in Chang'an City was in full swing.

"Your Majesty, I think this theory may not be all correct, but it is very reasonable. Although thrift can ensure the accumulation of personal wealth, compared with the circulation of wealth, the benefits that thrift can bring to people are likely to be far less than the benefits generated by the circulation of money. For example, if a family had 100 yuan in the early years of Zhenguan, and they buried it in the ground, the value of 100 yuan would have dropped now.

However, if he had used this 100 yuan to invest in a workshop, or simply buy a house, or buy some calligraphy and paintings, it would have become at least a few hundred yuan by now, or even more. There is a lot of money in the inner treasury, but if it is not circulated, it will not bring any benefit to His Majesty or the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Therefore, the article of "Fortune Weekly" said that whether it is from a personal point of view, or from the perspective of the economic development of the entire Datang, let the money of the court and hundreds of officials circulate, so that everyone can create more wealth for themselves and for Datang, and the life of the people of Datang will be better. ”

"Your point of view is very consistent with Kuan'er!"

In the harem, Xu Hui persuaded Li Shimin like this.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu is recognized for his talent, and I'm just picking up people's teeth."

"Since you all think that building a palace is a good thing, let's repair it!"

In Li Shimin's heart, Xu Hui directly said that the construction of the palace is conducive to the health of the eldest grandson, but as for the rest, he is not in much of the mood to pay attention to it now.

……

"Lang Jun, the head of the household department, Gui Zhuai, handed over the post, can you see it?"

In the Yang Mansion, Yang Dong took a stack of worship posts and confirmed them with Yang Benman one by one.

"Katsura Ai? Missing! ”

"What about the price of the thousand cattle guards? You don't see it either? ”

"I don't see it either!"

"Wei Bao, the shopkeeper of the carriage workshop in the south of the city, is he gone?"

"No, I don't see it! Whoever comes to visit me these days says I'm not available! ”

Yang Benman walked around the room a little irritably.

In the past few days, the number of people who have come to visit him has suddenly increased.

Not to mention the day of rest, even if he is usually on duty at the Yushitai, there are many colleagues who chat with him.

Chatting and chatting, they will definitely talk about the houses in the workshop city, and then they will praise Yang Benman for being powerful and discerning, and he bought hundreds of houses in the workshop city in advance.

At the beginning, Yang Benman felt quite good.

For so many years, it is rare for so many people to praise themselves in person.

Soon, however, he felt that something was wrong.

Because these people speculated and said that they were willing to buy a few houses in the workshop city from Yang Benman at a "high price".

This so-called high price is naturally higher than when Yang Benman bought it, but at most it is the same as the current price on the market, and some people even shamelessly want to buy it at a slightly higher price than Yang Benman's purchase price.

This made Yang Ben angry.

Feelings: These people all want to come over and take advantage of themselves.

"Lang Jun, these people are gone, but there is nothing. I'm afraid that there will be other people with higher status coming to you in the future, and if you still don't see you, you will offend people. ”

Yang Dong also fell into the trouble of happiness.

Yang Benman's status has risen, and he, the housekeeper, is naturally rising.

However, the current situation is a bit embarrassing.

"Hmph, the workshop city was developed by His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and whoever dares to break the rules in the workshop city will not be able to get along with the King of Chu's mansion. The houses I bought at a low price at the beginning solved the urgent need for the workshop city. Although His Royal Highness the King of Chu can solve this problem with just a move of his fingers, he still owes us a favor after all. I don't believe that someone forcibly buys and sells the house in the workshop city, and the Chu Wangfu will not care at all? ”

At this time, Yang Benman completely forgot his original grievances with the Chu Palace.

In his opinion, he and the Chu Wangfu are now grasshoppers on the same rope.

"Lang Jun, in fact, I think that transferring a few houses from time to time can not only sell personal favors to others, but also timely put our profits into our arms, which is not necessarily a bad thing. If we blindly hold these houses in our hands, when the sales office of Workshop City sees that the houses are so hot, we may launch a bunch of pre-sale houses in one go. Anyway, as long as there is a plan, there are people who are willing to pay for it. ”

Yang Dong's vision is naturally not as long-term as Yang Benman's.

In his opinion, the Yang family has already gained almost three or four percent of the income in the workshop city, and he can consider starting to stop.

After all, the price of the houses there has risen so much all at once, so it can't continue to rise sharply, right?

That doesn't seem to make sense.

In fact, when many people look at the housing market in later generations, they will also have the same thoughts as Yang Dong, thinking that the house is already so high, and the price increase will not go anywhere.

For example, when I was a few years old, I felt that the house price in the imperial capital was more than 10,000, which was already very exaggerated.

However, the reality will slap you in the face, and soon you will find that the house price has soared to more than 20,000 or 30,000.

At this time, you may feel that the house price has risen so much, and it will definitely fall back later, even if it rises, it will not rise much, so you still sell the house, or if you want to buy a house, you can not be in a hurry.

However, soon, you will find that after the house price stabilized, it quickly rushed to the level of more than 50,000 or 60,000.

So repeatedly, when you look back, you will find that you were so stupid and didn't buy it when it was more than 10,000.

"No, there is so much good news in Workshop City now, and the rise in housing prices has just begun. Once I started selling houses, I couldn't keep it anymore. In less than a month, those hundreds of houses will become someone else's. Although we may have reaped three or four percent of the gains, we have lost more in the future. In the future, if you want to buy hundreds of houses in Workshop City at one time, this kind of opportunity is estimated to be very rare. ”

Yang Benman has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he has seen some truths very thoroughly.

This transfer of the house, as long as he doesn't let go, everyone is not how to force it.

But once he opened a hole, he couldn't hold it at all.

At that time, there were more people who were offended.

Of course, no one knew about the houses that were transferred to He Qinlao.

"Lang Jun, as long as you have money, are you still worried about not being able to buy a house? The workshop city is so big, and there is still a lot of land in a panic. ”

"If you have money, you can naturally buy a house, and when the time comes, there will be a lot of houses in Chang'an City, you can choose at will, but are you willing to ask for it? As for the workshop city, he definitely didn't want the house he had worked so hard to build to be sold by others to make a lot of money. ”

Yang Benman felt that as long as the housing prices in the workshop city continued to rise, the houses in the workshop city would not be sold, and the sales office would not allow one person to buy hundreds of houses at the same time.

Maybe when the glass mirror was just launched, there will be a purchase limit.

"That's the same, maybe that Wang Fugui is now a little regretful in his heart for selling so many houses to us in one go."

"That's not alright, the Workshop City isn't hot yet. I heard that yesterday, a mysterious buyer bought all the houses for sale in the new phase of Workshop City in one go. This shows that Wang Fugui should not have considered restricting the purchase, or has not considered holding the house in his own hands to make money slowly. ”

Wei Siren arranged for someone to go to the workshop city to sweep the building, but Yang Benman naturally couldn't inquire.

But so many houses in Workshop City were bought in one go, and Yang Benman knew it for the first time.

After all, most of the Yang family's net worth is now pressed in the workshop city, and Yang Benman is more concerned with the movement of the sales office in the workshop city than Li Kuan.

"That's right, at first I thought it was Lang Jun that you did it yourself again, but then I thought that there was not so much money to call on the account room, and I knew that there were other people following suit."

"It's inevitable to follow the trend, but I'm curious to see who this mystery buyer is."

"I'll go back and inquire."

Yang Dong and Yang Benman continued to greet each other for a while, and then left.

After all, there is still a group of people waiting for their reply at the door.
