Chapter 352: When things go wrong, there must be demons

The increase in the price of land in the two provinces of central Myanmar and Yangon by 30 percent means that the average price of land in the two provinces will be raised to 9 taels, which also means that the price of land in the hands of those who bought land in the past has now increased by 30 percent. When Zhu Youxiao released the news of the price increase, the fields in Myanmar and Yangon provinces were once again selling well.

The price was raised, but it was sold better, which made many people in the empire stunned, and even Xiaoxiao and Gu Mei, who were deeply educated by Zhu Youxiao, couldn't understand why it was so abnormal? There must be a demon when things go wrong, what's going on with this demon? Xiaoxiao and Gu Mei were both very curious, and the two of them deliberately found a time to ask Zhu Youxiao why this situation occurred?

"Actually, when I first implemented this policy, I didn't expect it to work so well." Zhu Youxiao said frankly.

"Your Majesty, do you mean that you didn't expect today's situation to occur?" Gu Mei asked.

"I expected this to happen, but I didn't expect it to be so good. Do you also think about why this is the way it is today? What is the reason for this? Zhu Youxiao asked rhetorically.

"The concubine thinks that the merchants are afraid that the price of fields will continue to rise, because the emperor said that the price of fields in central Myanmar and Yangon will rise by 30% next year." Xiao Xiao thought about it and said.

"Well, that makes sense." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Hengbo, what do you think?" ”

"The concubine thinks that the fear of rising prices is only one reason, the most important thing is that the emperor wants to divide all the remaining fields into imperial villages, so that there will be no more land for sale in these two provinces in the future." Gu Mei thought for a while and said.

"Yokoba said it a little more profoundly." Zhu Youxiao approvingly.

"Please also ask the emperor for advice!" Gu Mei said with a smile.

"I thought about it for a moment and thought that there were several reasons: first, the fields in the provinces of Burma and Yangon were indeed very fertile, and anyone who had planted them would know, and the prices were far cheaper than in other parts of the empire; This makes the price do not match the value, and the fields that were originally worth 20 taels are now being sold at half price or even lower, which makes the fields in these two provinces have a lot of room for price to rise, do you understand? Zhu Youxiao explained.

"The concubine can understand, the concubine heard the little lady talk about the relationship between price and value." Gu Mei nodded.

"Your Majesty, what about the second point?" Xiao Xiao asked impatiently.

"The second point is to take into account the relationship between supply and demand, although the land in the two provinces is sold cheaply, but in fact it is caused by oversupply, there are more than 40 million acres of land to be sold in these two provinces, and the private demand cannot be so large, remember I told you that when the supply exceeds the demand, the price will fall, and when the supply is less than the demand, the price will rise, which is why Fengqiuhuang has always had to control the output? Do you remember? Zhu Youxiao continued to explain.

"The concubine remembers." The two replied in unison.

"The third point is to take into account human nature, businessmen who want to buy land think that there are too many fields for sale in these two provinces, and they have only sold more than 20% after selling for a year, which makes people who originally wanted to buy fields think that the imperial court will definitely reduce the price in order to sell the fields, so many people who want to buy land have a wait-and-see attitude, and they are waiting for the imperial court to reduce the price.

But I did the opposite, but I want to increase the price, I want to tell all those who want to buy land that the court will not reduce the price, if you don't buy it now, the price will increase in the future, and I decided to divide all the remaining fields into the imperial village, this kind of back-up behavior, but also released a message that the price will not be reduced, so that all the people who buy land are more assured, so that they think that buying land this year will not be a loss, but must be a profitable business, buy is earn. Do you understand? ”

"The concubine understood." Xiaoxiao and Gu Mei nodded.

"What do you think?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile.

"The concubine thinks that the emperor's trick is very suitable for the sale of real estate." Gu Mei said with a smile.

"Hengbo, I think you can be the president of Xinghui Real Estate Company." Zhu Youxiao sighed.

"If Xing Hui is willing to invite a concubine, the concubine is willing to give it a try." Gu Mei said.

"Not now, you have to start the wool spinning first, and this business can't be lost no matter what." Zhu Youxiao said.

"The concubine understands that the concubine already has some clues, and now the concubine is preparing for next year's ready-to-wear exhibition." Gu Mei said.

"When and where is next year's ready-to-wear fair?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The ready-to-wear exhibition of concubines is planned to be arranged in September next year, as for the location, the concubines want to be placed in Suzhou this time, what does the emperor think?" Trail.

"You make your own decisions about this, if you are in Suzhou next year, I will also go to Jiangnan again." Zhu Youxiao said.

"The concubine welcomes the emperor to come and guide." Xiao Xiao said happily.

"I won't necessarily attend the ready-to-wear exhibition, after all, it's all women, and it's not appropriate for me to go." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, the current ready-to-wear exhibition is different, the concubines have long separated the male and female seats, and now they can be watched by men and women at the same time." Xiao Xiao explained.

"When the time comes, if I have time, I'll go and see it." Zhu Youxiao said.

"The emperor must go to see it, this time it will definitely make the emperor's trip worthwhile." Gu Mei also said at this time.

"I really can't guarantee this, I can only say that I try to arrange time to take a look." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty, there is another matter that concerns Wang Sai'er." Xiao Xiao said softly.

"What's the matter with Wang Sai'er?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"The concubine hasn't seen Wang Sai'er for several years, and the concubine occasionally saw Wang Sai'er when she entered the palace today, and only then did she remember that Wang Sai'er is already thirty years old this year." Trail.

"What's wrong?" As soon as Zhu Youxiao spoke, he suddenly realized, "I understand what you mean." You go down first, and then I'll see Wang Sai'er. ”

……

Wang Sai'er stays in Liaodong and northern Liaobei all the year round to engage in espionage activities, and Zhu Youxiao only sees him two or three times a year, needless to say. When Wang Sai'er came in, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang Sai'er seriously again for so many years. Now Wang Sai'er is more heroic and mature than before, and there is a faint evil aura on his body.

"You're supposed to be thirty this year!" Zhu Youxiao said.

"Back to Your Majesty, yes." Wang Sai'er replied respectfully.

"Speaking of which, I delayed you, you have a favorite partner, I will give you a marriage, so that you can marry in style." Zhu Youxiao said.

"Your Majesty doesn't need to do this, Your Majesty has fulfilled his promise, and the minister should fulfill his promise." Wang Sai'er said respectfully. Now Wang Sai'er's younger brother has married a wife and had children, and the family is living very comfortably, but Wang Sai'er's sister is suffering.

Happy New Year, bosses! I wish you all a happy new year and all the best!
