Da'an Fang is located in the west of Anhua Gate in the south of Chang'an City, between Yong'an Canal and Qingming Canal, which is a rare and convenient water area in the southwest of Chang'an City.

There are not many dwellings in this place, nearly half of them are the pastures of the original Taifu Temple, and there are also some mansions belonging to the Guanglu Temple and the Shaofu Supervisor, which are mainly used to collect and release the food and products of the foreign state tribute and the Huangzhuang outside Beijing.

Nowadays, the entire area has become a large construction site, and many of them were located in this area when the shogunate auctioned off the property. The merchants of Chang'an City spent a lot of money to buy these industries that originally belonged to the government, so they naturally had to be renovated and put into use as soon as possible in order to recover the cost earlier.

Knowing that His Royal Highness King Yong was going to inspect this place today, many new owners also pushed off the affairs at hand and waited early. As soon as they learned that His Royal Highness King Yongwang had approached the Fang District, everyone came out of the Fang District one after another, spontaneously lined up on both sides of the street, and tended to meet King Yong's Yijia.

"You don't have to be polite, you have invested heavily in the purchase of this mansion, and have contributed to the revival of Chang'an. I was busy with affairs before, and I didn't have time to see it in person, and I am here today to thank you for your generous donations. ”

Before entering the gate of the Fang, Li Tong turned over and dismounted, signaled the attachés to divide on both sides, let those merchants move forward, and said to everyone with a smile.

"Your Royal Highness is serious, although I and the Jia people are not involved in Jingshu and Tian Sang, they are also obedient people under the rule of the Tang Dynasty. Previously, I received a huge subsidy from the Social Supervision Bureau, and the shogunate vacated the city land to rush for the small people to prosper, and the northern and southern states rarely had such benevolent governance, and we were deeply protected by His Royal Highness, and we should thank Your Highness! ”

Hearing what King Yong said, everyone expressed their attitudes.

This is indeed true, although Chang'an City is large-scale, but important places like Da'anfang are not everywhere, and most of them are in the hands of the government.

For the merchants, the problem of stocking is definitely worth paying attention to, the two cities only provide a trading place, the scale of the shop is greatly limited, and some bulk goods need to find another warehouse for placement.

In the past, merchants were not allowed to open warehouses in the city at will, and once discovered, they would be ruined at least to avoid disasters, and at worst their families would be ruined, in order to prevent them from hoarding and setting up private grass markets outside the two cities, avoiding the supervision of the Municipal Supervision Bureau to conduct transactions and disrupt the market.

Therefore, many businessmen do business in the two cities in the city, but they have to place their warehouses in the countryside far away from the city, not only can not guarantee safety, but also the transportation of goods back and forth is also a huge loss.

Da'an Fang is adjacent to Anhua Gate, even if the two canals in Jiafang are not included, there is a road connection outside the city gate alone, and you can reach it when you enter the city. If they can have a residence here, it will undoubtedly make their business efficiency much better.

Hearing the eager response of the businessmen, Li Tong also smiled slightly.

There are many storage centers like Da'anfang, and there are many places in Chang'an City, the core of which is the Taicang system located near Daming Palace. Taicang is adjacent to Weishui and directly connected to the Yellow River waterway, and its convenience and importance are far from comparable to those of Da'anfang.

The imperial court held these key areas in its hands, naturally in order to control the development and circulation of private capital. Even if this circulation could bring significant benefits, it was not worth mentioning in terms of the centralization and mobilization capacity of the time.

However, the current situation is different, a private capital has been quite prosperous after a long period of development and growth, compared with the beginning of the country. Second, the treasury was empty, the administration was deserted, and the mobilization capacity of the shogunate was far less than that of the prosperous era of Sadakan.

In the past, I didn't bother to pick up money at my feet, and I had to step into the dirt with my feet. Now he is so poor that his eyes are green, and all the power he can use must be used.

Li Tong walked into the workshop and saw that on a piece of land with a width of more than 50 acres, the prototype of a grand building was rising from the ground. Seeing the name of "Qingcheng Society Pavilion" written on the temporary boundary monument, he smiled and asked, "Is the head of the Song Society of Qingcheng Jin Society present?" ”

"The little people are here, the little people are here!"

Song Bazi squeezed out of the crowd with great difficulty, approached the front, raised his hand and bowed his knees.

"No need to be polite."

Seeing this, Li Tong smiled, beckoned to Song Bazi, motioned for him to get up and answer, and continued to ask: "Is the head of the Song Society renting or buying this land?" ”

After Song Bazi got up, he didn't care about the dust stained on the brocade robe, and hurriedly said: "It's to buy, the land on this side is worth ten thousand dollars, and the small people and the community are combined, so they simply buy it out, one is convenient for themselves, and the other is also donating floating wealth to help the shogunate to get things done." ”

10,000 is 10 million dollars, which is definitely not a lot of money. Like Li Tong's revival of Chang'an's hundred industries, the investment subsidy is only 5 million. Song Bazi contributed millions of dollars, and his family business was directly lost by nearly half.

Chang'an is now empty, and the land price is lower than that of the Zhenguan period. Like Ma Zhou, the prime minister of the Zhenguan period, bought a mansion in Longqingfang City, spending no more than a thousand dollars, and Longqingfang is already one of the top nobles in Chang'an, and it was directly rebuilt into Xingqing Palace during the Tang Xuanzong period.

As for some relatively common houses, the land price is even cheaper. Even Bai Juyi in the Middle Tang Dynasty has a poem "Mo Xian Shengping Yuan Eight Mansions, Thinking about How Much Money to Buy", a good friend Yuan Zhi lives in Shengping Fang, because he is shy in his pocket, he can't live next to each other.

Bai Juyi lived in Xinchangfang in Chang'an, and there was a poem saying, "First sell ten acres of gardens in Nanfang, and then sell five hectares of fields in Dongguo." and then sold the house, as if to get two or three thousand", sold ten acres of garden, five hectares of fertile land, plus the house, a total of two or three thousand yuan, this is already Bai Juyi Huanhai for many years in Chang'an accumulated all the family funds.

In the Middle Tang Dynasty, where Bai Juyi was located, the commodity economy developed further, and the purchasing power of money was greatly reduced. There is no doubt that those 500 acres of fertile land are the big ones.

The land purchased by Song Bazi covers an area of about 50 acres, which is equivalent to 200,000 yuan for one acre of land. The scale of Chang'an Chengfang District is far larger than that of Luoyang, and the area of Da'anfang is 1,000 acres. If it is at this price, the land in Da'anfang alone is worth 200,000 yuan.

Of course, the sale can't be counted like this, so the land price is definitely several times overpriced, and 200,000 yuan in other squares can already buy a ten-acre mansion with courtyards and halls. But if it's expensive, the entire Chang'an is only more than 100 squares, and when converted, more than 20 million yuan can buy Chang'an City?

The key to the value depends on the respective measurement. According to the previous posture of the merchants rushing to buy, at least in their opinion, the land in Da'anfang is worth this price.

"The capital of Shu merchants is really abundant, and they have given up millions of dollars first, and now they can buy large pieces of land. But it seems that the head of the Song Society doesn't plan to build a mansion here? ”

Li Tong asked with great interest, he saw that the land purchased by other families was rarely so large, and the scale of the warehouse had been built, but Song Bazi, the Qingcheng Jin Society, was more special.

"But it can help the shogunate to prosper, how dare the small people be stingy with their private wealth. As for the money for this land purchase, most of them were donated by members. The small people should also be grateful to His Royal Highness for his appreciation and gifts, His Royal Highness praised me for my rural virtue, and made up for the good money of the community, so that the villagers were willing to trust their wealth to buy a house. ”

After hearing this, Song Bazi hurriedly said, and by the way, he held another handful of King Yong, and then said: "As for the purchase of this land, I plan to build an inn and wait for the people of Shuzhong to enter Beijing and rent a residence." Although Chang'an is a good place for Wang Zhi Changming, it is inevitable that there is a lack of nostalgia. Xiaomin hopes to comfort the hometown with this, so that our villagers can live in Chang'an in peace and contribute to Wang Zhi! ”

Li Tong already had a comprehension of Song Bazi's sycophancy, and after hearing this, he just smiled again: "In the future, Jingnan Shenhe Yuan will build a dam to intercept the stream, and the Yong'an Canal will be full of water and will be navigable, and Da'anfang can go directly to the waters of Chang'an." It is a pity that the first plot of Song Society will sit on the ground to absorb gold, and it will not be used for commercial turnover. ”

"Is Your Highness serious?"

When everyone around them heard this, they all changed color.

When they bought the land in Da'anfang before, although the Social Supervision Bureau also advertised that the Yong'an Canal would be navigable, they had been doing business in Chang'an for a long time, and they also knew that the Yong'an Canal was so shallow and there were too many personnel obstacles in it, so they didn't take it seriously when they bought the land, so they didn't take this matter to heart when they bought the land.

But now His Royal Highness King Yong has said so, which shows that this matter is really genealogy. If Daanfang can really connect the entire transportation system around Gyeonggi, then the land price will inevitably rise again. And their group of people who preempted it really earned it.

The profits are so great that people can ignore their dignity and humility, knowing that it is offensive and rude to question them in person, but some people can't help but ask out loud.

As for Song Bazi, his face was also uncertain, in addition to being shocked by the value of this news, he couldn't figure out why King Yong asked such a question. But after weighing it for a moment, he still spoke again: "If it is as His Highness said, the shogunate has this idea, then the small people's previous plan is really a little inappropriate. ”

When Li Tong heard him say this, a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He had a good impression of this Song Bazi, although he had offended his predecessors, but the remedy was decent, and there was a kind of characteristic that was different from that of ordinary businessmen, so he made a test of it.

But if this Song Bazi is still not exempt from the profit-seeking and swaying of businessmen, there is no need to continue to pay attention.

"Xiaomin's previous plan was only a villager, but since His Royal Highness has such a strategy, Xiaomin occupies this treasure land, and he should forge ahead and follow. Originally, the amount of materials and labor here was only 3,000 yuan, but Da'an Fang was the city gate to rush, if the water dragon was prosperous, all the people gathered here, and they were willing to chase the money for 5,000 yuan, build a male pavilion, so that people could see the majestic Gyeonggi ruled by His Royal Highness! ”

After hearing this, the corners of Li Tong's mouth flashed with a smile again. Even the palace to build a new palace, a few thousand yuan is more than enough, after learning that the future Da'an Fang will change, Song Bazi still does not change the previous plan, and to use eight thousand to build a building. I have to say that this Shu merchant really doesn't take money properly.

After Song Bazi finished speaking, he confessed, asked for pen and ink from the side, ticked off the original "Allure Society Pavilion" on the boundary monument, and turned the book to the words "Bafang Society Pavilion".

Then he turned back and bowed to King Yong's feet and continued: "The small people are despicable, although they dare to teach His Highness, but they are difficult to tolerate in their narrow schemes. The Happo Society Hall receives guests from all over the world, and on the day of the completion of the museum, please dedicate the shogunate! ”

After Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but be more satisfied, stepped forward and knocked on Song Bazi's scarf, and said with a smile: "Jia Ke is still righteous, and his good talent is considerable." The head of the Song Society has repeatedly offered money, and the shogunate should also say that a seat will be given to you, are you willing to enter the government and use talents? ”

"Small, small people...... No, humble, lowly and humble, thank you for your highness's reward! Humble duties must be served by dogs and horses, loyal to Your Highness! ”

When Song Bazi heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, and bowed to the ground again and again, and even his face did not sink into the dust.
