Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Scene

“.” Tan Weiying's banquet finally caused Ye Tao to sigh. It turned out that Tan Weiying was also a little helpless. After visiting her embroidery garden, many of the people she can usually call her uncles, aunts and aunts affectionately, and ask for some gifts by the way, many people want to invite Ye Tao to build a garden for them through her. After being explicitly hinted at many times, Tan Weiying finally decided to transfer the pressure to Ye Tao, so he made a special trip to call Ye Tao to be complimented for a whole night, and then had to come up with a timetable that everyone could accept to deal with these gardening requirements.

Ye Tao simply brought out the preliminary plan of the reconstruction plan of Danyang City, which was in the making, and explained that the functions of some workshops and other types of "commercial land" in the middle of Danyang City would be transferred to several nearby villages and towns under construction, so that the positioning and function of Danyang's commercial district, military area, and residential area would become more distinct and concentrated...... And this point is to form a perfect relationship between drowsiness and pillows with these nobles who want to build a garden but are hesitating about the increasing crowding of Danyang City and may not be able to find a suitable location.

And only the Zuo family, who now has a lot of business dealings with Ye Tao, is far more concerned about this matter than the construction of several gardens. In the area where Ye Tao said that the function transfer was going to be carried out, the Zuo family really has a lot of industries and business partners. Zuo Changming, the deacon of the younger generation of the Zuo family, who happened to be in the meeting, keenly sensed the opportunity.

"Ye Gongzi, I don't know...... When will this demolition and resettlement be put into practice? Coming out of Princess Embroidery's Embroidery Garden, Zuo Changming immediately intercepted Ye Tao and invited Ye Tao to sit down and chat in a nearby tavern, Zuo Changming asked bluntly.

"Zuo Gongzi, are you also interested in this matter?" Ye Tao felt a little strange.

Zuo Changming said: "That's natural, although the Zuo family doesn't make a living from engineering construction. But it is still conceivable how much profit can be made in and out of this demolition and construction. And there are so many new businesses and new gardens gathered in this emerging area, if it can indeed be gradually implemented as the plan mentioned by Ye Gongzi, then it is not too surprising that these plots of land alone will increase several times in the next few years. And my Zuo family happens to have a lot of industries in those places, so it is natural to care about this, right? ”

Zuo Changming said it very clearly. Basically, the Zuo family will intervene in this matter, and how much they can intervene is probably the funds that the Zuo family can mobilize on the one hand, and on the other hand, how much time they have to make relevant preparations. Not only is he preparing for the industrial land under his name, Zuo Changming also plans to acquire more pieces of real estate at a lightning speed before the news spreads, so as to strive for more interests and voice for himself in this grand plan.

Ye Tao smiled slightly and said, "It's already started...... Tomorrow morning upwards. A resolution should be passed that all the real estate involved in this plan will not be allowed to change hands from now on, and all related industries must be approved by the Ministry of Industry for the transfer of money. ”

Zuo Changming was stunned. immediately understood why Ye Tao would reveal this news in such a very informal occasion today, because Ye Tao already knew that now that the news was released, people who wanted to take advantage of loopholes would not have time to do everything in just one day. Though. This prohibition order can't stop some private transactions, but at least no one will mess around on the surface.

Zuo Changming was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Ye Gongzi...... Do you feel comfortable doing this? Please forgive me for being superficial, for the sake of the friendship between the Zuo family and the old man Qi for so many years, and the Tissot watch company jointly owned by the old man Qi and your Ye family is now a very promising business, there are some things, I still want to mention some things. Ye Gongzi. Although you have the blessing of Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaohua, this matter is not very authentic. With the demolition and reconstruction of such a large piece of land, can your Ye family eat it? And without the support of so many merchant clans in Danyang, large and small, is it actually possible to carry out this very insightful plan? ”

Ye Tao smiled bitterly and said, "My Ye family is not ready to meddle in this matter at all. Except for the fact that I personally had to hand over a lot of design drawings in two months because I had to work hard, and I was able to hang out 200,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Industry for labor fees, my Ye family was not involved in anything. Even Dai Yue Ge Dai, who is related to my Ye family, will not let the super construction team that is now unique in the world appear on the construction site in the city. said that my Ye family eats alone...... My Ye family really can't eat it. I was never ready to eat it. Yip's workshop and Boss Dai's construction team. Will be in charge of the Iron City and the three death-simple towns. ”

Zuo Changming said strangely: "Then why are you bothering here?" Even if you are like this, but once the news is announced. What do you think people think? It's such a thankless task, it's hard to imagine that you'd be willing to do it. ”

Ye Tao smiled and said, "It's not too late now, is Zuo Gongzi willing to go with me to those places?" ”

In addition to workshops and warehouses, the entire land is mainly dotted with various dwellings scattered all over the place. In those workshops, many of the workers and low-level stewards lived in that area. Although these places are completely different from the slums in some places in Danyang City, they are not very neat and decent. Although he didn't understand what Ye Tao wanted to do, Zuo Changming nodded and agreed to Ye Tao's proposal.

With a few entourages, Ye Tao and Zuo Changming walked side by side in Qingning Fang, where the largest number of houses were concentrated. What surprised Zuo Changming a little was that Ye Tao seemed to like watching this kind of market scene.

In this era of lack of entertainment, especially the lack of night entertainment projects, at this hour, many people have rested, but more people's courtyards still reveal a little bit of light, and the occasional sound of domestic birds, cats and dogs has increased the life atmosphere of Qingningfang.

"In this demolition and resettlement, most of these people's families will move to other places. Some family backgrounds, some status in those shops and workshops, may be settled in other places in Danyang. But many more will move to the newly built towns as the workshops move. However, whether it is a workshop or these people, this relocation will give considerable compensation to these houses, for the land of those workshops, the loss of work stoppage, and the relocation costs of some special workshops. Moreover, these compensation will not be those workshops and shops with or without background, and it will not be any ordinary people, the people of the household department and the inner government will investigate from house to house, and then give reasonable compensation to each household in accordance with the regulations being formulated, and the price of the land purchased...... For this relocation, Her Royal Highness the princess has made a great determination, in addition to meeting the construction of the iron city and the use of peacetime, most of the silver taels accumulated in the inner treasury over the years will be put into this huge project at once, trying to complete the construction of the entire Danyang and the surrounding city influence circle when the iron city is completed, and also complete the reconstruction of Danyang. The first batch of silver taels was as much as 7 million taels, which were mainly used to properly settle the people and some shops and workshops that were easier to negotiate. Ye Tao said eloquently, "For those workshops held by the Zuo family, such as ...... The brocade workshop, which is less than 500 feet away, and all the workshops and shops that have a background and are difficult to deal with at a more restrained price, will be discussed one by one. I don't know if the people in the Princess's Mansion, the Inner Mansion, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household will take advantage of the situation to oppress people when they do such a thing, then it's not something I can know, but at least Her Royal Highness the Princess means that everyone will talk about it on an equal footing. ”

Zuo Changming paused and looked at Ye Tao with some incredulity. If what Ye Tao said was true, then what Tan Weixin did might have been something that the entire country, the entire continent, and anyone in power on the entire continent had never done. To redeem at a reasonable price, without giving an order to achieve the same end, is tantamount to Tan Weixin herself giving up the opportunity to take coercive measures and the simplest and most efficient methods in such a large project as a matter of course.

Ye Tao pursed his lips and said, "Zuo Gongzi doesn't seem to understand why the princess would do this, right?" ”

Zuo Changming didn't say anything, obviously acquiescing.

Ye Tao said: "Just imagine, after the news is released, with the strength of the major merchant clans, and the people living here are seven or eight out of ten working in the shops and workshops of the major merchant clans, under this situation and pressure, how many people will be forced to sell their real estate at an unreasonable price, or at a price that will inevitably be lower than the compensation standard set by Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Then, you wealthy families have more capital to bargain with, but how can you deal with this warm light of ten thousand homes? ”

Zuo Changming didn't say anything. He knew that what Ye Tao said was true. That's what he intended. For those who have served the industry under the name of the Zuo family for many years, the Zuo family will naturally not treat them too badly. Among them, Zuo Changming is ready to persuade the Zuo family to bear the main task of persuading the Zuo family, but many families will not be so generous, and bullying and coercion will inevitably happen.

When Zuo Changming wanted to say something, Ye Tao continued: "Actually, Her Royal Highness the princess has not cut off everyone's opportunity to make money. The reason for taking over all the land rights is that the construction of the entire project conflicts with the division of many neighborhoods now, and it must be completely demolished and rebuilt, but Her Royal Highness does not object to everyone discounting all the real estate and the relocation compensation that can be negotiated before, and then participating in the overall grand plan. Then, at the end of the profit and then shared, although compared to everyone trying their own way to directly profit from the appreciation of the land, may be less, but after all, this relocation project before and after the library to allocate nearly 20 million taels of silver, the pressure and risk is very large, naturally, in the final profit to occupy a large head is also a matter of course, right? ”
