"There are still not enough funds." After calculating the funds, Springton shook his head and said, Hitler was only willing to spend 40 million marks to build houses and residences, but it is estimated that millions of people across the country need free houses, and in this era, the highest building is usually seven floors, plus its own area and huge population, such a rough calculation, they need to spend nearly 30 million marks on the cost of buying land alone.

Building a house is not just about buying the land, but also about building materials, labor, etc., which requires a lot of money, and Hitler's 40 million marks are simply not enough to build so many houses.

"With so many unemployed workers and so many cheap laborers across the country, I think I can hire a large number of workers with just a small amount of food and a small amount of money." Hitler was racking his brains about how to save money.

Jonas calculated it with a notebook, shook his head and said: "The budget of 40 million marks, 30 million to buy land, the remaining 10 million is only enough to buy steel, and the rest is like cement bricks, and there are no workers' wages, other materials, and decoration costs." ”

"Oops!" Hitler scratched the back of his head and was a little anxious, although Victor gave Hitler about 200 million marks, but most of them were manors, castles, stock investments, and could not be realized for a while, and the cash in his hand was only 50 million, and the 50 million was to be set aside to prepare for the import of grain to the Americas, and only 40 million were used to build houses.

Hitler still has some money in his private property, and he can also "borrow" some money from Dembutch's family, Deutsche Bank, the government, and other social forces, and with Hitler's personal prestige, there is no problem in making up 20 million or 30 million marks.

But the key is, even if you make up 20 or 30 million, what can you do, it's a drop in the bucket. Steel is only one part of the construction of a house, in addition to the purchase of cement bricks, the hiring of designers, the wages of workers, other miscellaneous materials, decoration costs, furniture and beds, etc., all of which require money.

Fifty million marks is indeed a huge wealth, at this time the market value of many first-class enterprises is only fifty million marks, and the total annual commodity industry of many small countries is only five million marks, but the key is to fund millions of people, the number is too many, the national government can not help, let alone Hitler.

"Why is steel so expensive?" Hitler could not believe it, and he remembered that the world should not have been so expensive since the development of the Ruhr industrial area in Germany, the Pittsburgh steel base in the United States, and the Birmingham and Manchester steel bases in the United Kingdom.

"You also don't want to think about how many shells were used in the world war." Spudenton raised his head and said, Hitler suddenly realized that the resources consumed by the world war had exhausted the heritage of Europe in the past ten years, and the life-and-death struggle had caused the price of resources such as steel and coal to rise a lot.

Hitler proposed a solution: "Then we go to the United States to import materials, and the United States should be much cheaper." ”

But even if all the materials are imported from the United States, the funds are still not enough.

"I had to build some houses first, so that some people could have a place to stay."

Hitler scratched at his hair in annoyance.

For President Albert, this is a good solution: "I can keep a lot of people out of the streets. ”

"What's the solution, the government grants?" He was a guest at Albert's house, and he was in good spirits at once.

With a calm smile on his face, Albert poured a glass of champagne for Hitler: "Take your time, let me ask you first, Hitler, you are a soldier, but you are also a capitalist, and it is the nature of a capitalist to pursue profits, why do you want to spend money to help German refugees for no reason?" Gain fame? ”

"What am I for?"

Hitler's eyes were confused as he looked at the blood-red champagne, in order to repay Prince Victor for his kindness?

To gain fame and profit?

No!

Hitler's eyes quickly returned to clarity, and he grinned: "My purpose is for this country, I deeply love this troubled country, I love his hot and beautiful land, I love his kind and resolute people, I love his history, I love his culture, I love this country." ”

Yes, this country is so similar to a certain country, the same history has given birth to countless cultures, the same bullying, and the same perseverance and loveliness of the people.

Germany, where is he?

Germany has finally been reunified, finally established, Germany, has really lived in this vast and rich space, the unity of all Germans will ensure that Germans will no longer be bullied.

Albert nodded: "Okay, young people, young people are good, they still maintain the beliefs and ideals in their hearts, okay, let me tell you how to solve the problem that people can't afford to live in, that is, the housing vacancy tax." ”

"Vacancy Tax!"

Albert shook his glass lightly and chuckled: "With the countryside, the houses in Germany can accommodate 150 million people. If you don't count the countryside, then the houses in the towns alone can live in 70 million people, and we have more than 60 million people in the whole of Germany, even if all the population pours into the towns, it can be filled, so why are there still people living on the streets? ”

"It's a social problem, some people have money and can buy two or three houses, while some people don't have money and can only rent a house or wander the streets." Hitler said.

Albert nodded, "So how do you make housing affordable for the poor?" Quite simply, wouldn't it be nice to let people who have a few houses give housing to those who don't have a house? ”

"Then how do you let the rich give the house to the poor to live in?" Hitler understood what Albert meant, but it is the nature of capitalists to pursue profits, and people who have a few properties are considered capitalists, and if you want capitalists to give houses to the rich to live in, how can it be?

"Tax increases, house vacancy tax, personal multi-house tax." Albert laughed: "In this way, in order to prevent the payment of the vacancy tax and the multi-house tax, the capitalist may have to give the house to the people who do not have a house, so that at least there is no need to pay the vacancy tax." ”

Hitler thought for a while and felt that Albert's words were not very reliable: "This approach will affect the economy, there are so many people renting houses in Germany, it is impossible to let the poor live in vain, at most it can only reduce housing prices and rents." ”

Albert praised: "Yes, you still understand, yes, at most you can only reduce housing prices and rents, and the poor who have no money still can't solve the accommodation problem, but at least this will allow more people to live in houses, and it will reduce the rental costs of many lower-class people, and there will be a lot fewer people you need to help, right?" ”

Hitler nodded approvingly, Albert was right, the rent price was lowered, at least more people could afford to live in the house, and he needed a lot less help, and he would build some simple houses and let the poor who had no money live in, so that the housing problem could be solved.

"The Ministry of Finance will register and count the tax on multiple houses for individuals, but how to collect the vacancy tax and how to determine whether the house is vacant, it is impossible to send someone to knock on the door every day to determine whether it is controlled." Hitler asked.

Albert smiled, "You can check the water meter." ”

"Uh...... Check the water meter ......" Hitler was stunned and stammered.

"Check the water meter, check the gas meter, check the electricity meter, screen it, and then send someone to inspect it, and then confirm that in order to prevent people from running the water and electricity all the time to evade the vacancy tax, we have to keep monitoring the abnormal houses, in short, our government still has a lot of methods," Albert said. ”

Hitler shook his head slightly: "There are too many loopholes, and there are still some difficulties."

Albert laughed and said: "No matter how many loopholes there are, you can make up for them, the key is that you are not afraid of offending the powerful?" ”

"Offending the powerful?" Hitler was puzzled.

Albert drank the champagne that had been shaking for a long time: "The houses of the powerful are the most, although our country does not speculate in real estate, but most capitalists own multiple properties, and you introduced the housing vacancy tax, isn't it aimed at capitalists?" ”

Albert's words made Hitler wake up at once, the vacancy tax is not so easy to collect, and from a political point of view, the collection of a vacancy tax is bound to offend many capitalists and the middle class. For Western countries, the capitalists and the middle class are the backbone of the country, especially the middle class, and for any country, the more middle class, the more stable the country. The more patriotic the middle class, the stronger the country.

But the middle class has one characteristic, that is, they all own multiple properties, and you introduce a vacancy fee, which not only offends the capitalists, but also offends many middle classes.

Can the middle class not make trouble?
