Chapter 216: Building a New Kaifeng

Chai Rong said that he would pay the rent, but he didn't tell Ye Hua when he would pay it, and he also had to pay for ordering cement, but I'm sorry, the treasury can't take it out!

Da Zhou's family is really not good, and it is easy to work hard for two years, but the money and food that can be saved are basically used for the whole army.

Organizing and training the new army, purchasing weapons, fighting with the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then transferring troops to defend against the Khitan, these few items alone have exhausted the treasury......

Whether it is Chai Rong or Guo Wei, they all want to rebuild Kaifeng City, from the inside to the outside, from top to bottom, and completely rebuild it, but this project is too huge, all kinds of fancy, a little added up, it makes Chai Rong's head big.

"Champion Hou, all in all, the court will not owe you, but the problem is that you have to have a way to conjure up money!"

After hearing this, Ye Hua directly vomited blood and fell to the ground!

He thinks that Zhao Kuangyin is enough to pit, that guy eats and drinks for nothing, and after eating, he fights the autumn wind, but as a result, Chai Rong is even more cheating than the surnamed Zhao! Not only did he eat and drink for nothing, but he also let himself wash the dishes, where is your conscience?

"Can I refuse?"

"Can't!" Chai Rong told Ye Hua very frankly, "This is the one that Taishi Feng protects, he said that you are very capable, so you can naturally have a way!" ”

"I've got a fart!"

The surname Feng is really disrespectful, he just helped him once, and he immediately retaliated back, it's not a thing! Ye Hua burst into foul language, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, what can she do without money?

Even if Ye Hua's more than 100 catties are sold, he can't fill the bottomless pit...... "Your Highness, the entire Kaifeng construction is absolutely impossible, we can only divide and rectify." ”

"Partitions?"

"That's right, just solve the part first...... The imperial court must at least come up with start-up capital. ”

Chai Rong thought seriously, "What needs to be done?" ”

Ye Hua leaned together, and then said with a smile: "Your Highness, the imperial court only needs to collect the land, the ground is leveled, the roads are repaired, and the sewers are done." ”

Chai Rong frowned, "Leave a large open space, what can you do?" ”

"Sell for money!"

Ye Hua really shook his head, even Chai Rong, who has the best economic acumen, can't understand the means of running the city, just let me teach you a lesson!

In fact, Ye Hua had a commercial street before, rented a house outside, and made a lot of money, which can be called his first money.

This time, he suggested expanding from a street to a city.

The court did a good job of two links and one level—access roads, sewers, and leveling the ground—and then divided the land into pieces and sold them to merchants to build them into commercial or residential areas, and the court earned money for the sale of the land.

Chai Rong's comprehension is indeed very strong.

He immediately grasped the key, the advantages of doing this are obvious, the first is to save costs, the court is only responsible for leveling the land and building roads, the cost is greatly reduced, and by selling the land, you can also make a profit, maybe not only will not lose money, but also make a lot of money.

For the not too generous big week, the attraction is very large.

It's just that Chai Rong has two worries.

The first is to expropriate the land, what about the people who live on it?

How to settle in?

Second, that is, two years ago, Ye Hua crossed the commercial street, and the results followed suit, and the result is self-evident.

It's only been how long, how can the scar forget the pain, and repeat the same mistakes?

Faced with Chai Rong's question, Ye Hua was full of confidence.

Because of the investigation of Sanssouci Cave, he discussed the issue of opening the household registration with Dou Wei many times. According to the imperial court, there are 300,000 people in Kaifeng, and if you add the forbidden army, it is about 430,000.

However, walking in Kaifeng Mansion, it will definitely not be this feeling, you will only feel that there are people everywhere, shoulder to shoulder, dense turns, even if the corners are full.

What's wrong?

In a word, it is built privately, and a large number of foreign black households gather in Kaifeng.

Originally, the city of the Tang Dynasty, in order to facilitate management, was separated from the fang city, the residential area was the residential area, and the commercial area was the commercial area.

The scope of life of ordinary people is very narrow.

Of course, this has the advantage of being easy to manage, but the disadvantage is obvious, that is, a lot of land is wasted.

And with the gradual decline of the Tang Dynasty and the change of dynasties, the constraints became smaller and smaller, and the pattern of the separation of the city gradually collapsed.

After breaking the structure of the city, a large number of commercial people poured into Kaifeng, and they had no place to live, so they built them everywhere, and several families could hide under the shacks under the bridge piers.

These immigrants lack a sense of security and urgently need to find shelter, so Sanssouci Cave takes advantage of the void, which is also a major reason for the development and growth of Sanssouci Cave.

If we want to completely eradicate Sanssouci Cave, it is not to repair or not to repair sewers, but to effectively manage the entire city and all populations.

As the only metropolis in the world with a population of hundreds of thousands, the wealth it can contribute if its potential is unleashed is staggering.

"Your Highness, we will expropriate the land and carry out a unified leveling plan, so that we can save one-third of the land!" Ye Hua is not lying, there are more than a dozen large garbage heaps in the city alone, some of which are decades old, and they are still overgrown with trees. There are also abandoned river channels, messy drainage ditches. In addition, there is another problem, some powerful families not only own huge mansions, but also plant trees around the mansions, and occupy the land of many ordinary people, build houses, and give them their families to live.

Some large households can even encroach on half of the street, and more than half of the land does not belong to them!

What's even more amazing is that in the original city, there were still small patches of farmland and vegetable fields...... Ye Hua is simply crazy, he really doesn't know how to operate intensively, every inch of land is expensive, how can he be so wasteful!

Clear the land, clarify the land rights, carry out unified planning, save more vacant land, and the vacant land is the wealth that belongs to the imperial court!

Chai Rong easily understood this.

And the next suggestion made Chai Rong refreshed.

"Your Highness, we can build multi-story buildings."

"What do you mean?"

"The traditional courtyard house, square and square, pays attention to the feng shui pattern, and occupies too much area. For example, if the original usable area of a house remains the same, but it can be changed to a small two-story house, does it occupy less land? ”

Ye Hua was afraid that Chai Rong would not understand, so he used a branch to draw a few simple strokes on the ground to show him the future Kaifeng dwelling.

It is generally a two-story building, with a basement dug underneath to store grain and vegetables. With two floors above ground, it can be used for the whole family. The second floor facing the street, the lower floor can also be used as a store room to do some small business.

Of course, if you have enough money, you can build a third floor, or even more.

In short, it is necessary to ask God for land, and let Kaifeng "lose weight" by "growing taller", so that more space can be saved, Ye Hua conservatively estimated, after tossing in this way, at least double the efficiency of the land.

It turns out that those black households who have built privately and indiscriminately can buy or rent a place to live, which is far more comfortable than living in a shed that leaks air on all sides and is extremely dangerous.

"No, still not! If you build a two-storey or even three-story building, it will be expensive, unsafe, and ordinary people can't afford it! ”

"How so!" Ye Hua smiled and said, "Isn't there cement!" And for the safety of the house, the key places can be reinforced with iron bars, if His Highness still has doubts, I can build a few model houses out, please verify Your Highness. ”

"Oh!"

Chai Rong frowned, suddenly pointed at Ye Hua's nose, and laughed.

"Well, you're really calculating! Now who doesn't know, Kaifeng big iron-making workshop is your champion workshop, it's not enough to buy cement, but also want to sell iron, you really don't make enough money! ”

Ye Hua wanted to defend himself, but Chai Rong waved his hand.

"As long as you do it, how much you can earn is your ability! The king has no interest in care. Chai Rong said domineeringly: "I just want to know, after getting so many houses, can you sell them?" ”

"Yes! How not! Ye Hua said: "Your Highness, do you know that in the first half of this year alone, more children were born in Kaifeng than last year!" ”

Chai Rong's eyes suddenly lit up, and the birth of a population seemed to be a more attractive thing than real estate.

There is no way, in the era when the poll tax was not abolished, the more the population, the larger the tax base, the more soldiers, and the stronger the national strength.

In order to take revenge, Gou Jian spent ten years giving birth to children and ten years training people, Chai Rong obviously also has this thought, the more the population, the better.

But when there are too many people, the problem of accommodation must be solved.

Also, the Great Zhou State is thriving, after defeating the Southern Tang Dynasty, looking around the world, there is only one Khitan left to compete with the Great Zhou, and the rest of the Jiangnan countries are insignificant!

It is strange that the population of a city itself has skyrocketed, and the influx of foreign population, and the real estate is not hot!

……

Ye Hua talked a lot with Chai Rong, and finally persuaded His Royal Highness the King of Jin, he nodded and agreed, but Chai Rong was a little embarrassed.

"That Kaifeng Mansion can only take out 500,000 yuan, you want the rent of the house outside the city, you have to raise the start-up capital yourself, if you don't want the rent, then this money will be given to you as start-up capital......" Chai Rong told Ye Hua very seriously, you can only choose one of the two!

Ye Hua said that his mouth was dry, but when he got such a result, he was really dumbfounded.

Chai Rong, you are a shameless black man!

I still think you're a generous person!

It's a pity, I read it wrong, you just want me to be a passing god of wealth, and take out the hard-earned rent to make "two links and one level", do you still have a conscience?

Chai Rong rolled his eyelids, he said that conscience is worth a few dollars, don't cry poor kid, after such a big project, your family's treasury can be full.

This king asked you to shed some blood, that is to ruin wealth and avoid disaster!

Sure enough, there is no good thing that can become an emperor!

Ye Hua scolded Chai Rong in his heart.

"I will never charge a copper plate for rent! As for the start-up capital of development, I have my own way! After Ye Hua finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left, he really didn't want to stay with Chai Rong longer, for fear of being cheated again.
