Hua'an and several generals under his command, in the teahouse on the second floor, you can clearly see that more and more businessmen have entered the pavilion, and many of them are blonde and blue-eyed people from the Western Regions, these people from the Western Regions have been going back and forth between the Western Regions and the Central Plains for many years, earning a lot of money, and they can be said to be rich people, as long as these people from the Western Regions are willing to buy these shops, Hua'an's financial problem for expanding Luoyang City can be solved very smoothly.

"Your Majesty, you see, these people from the Western Regions are gorgeously dressed and must be particularly rich." Wang San pointed to the gorgeously dressed merchants of the Western Regions and said.

"Do you still need to look at your clothes? The camel teams of these people from the Western Regions also have at least nearly 100 camels, and these camels alone are worth a lot of money? Zhuge Xiong said.

"Your Majesty, these people from the Western Regions entered Luoyang City late, and most of them have no shops and real estate, and they have the greatest chance of buying new shops, and they are also very rich, whether the expansion of Luoyang City can be carried out smoothly depends on them." Wang Meng looked at the merchants of the Western Regions in the pavilion and said.

Obviously, several generals under Hua'an's command have paid attention to the merchants of the Western Regions, of course, this is also because the camel team of the merchants of the Western Regions is too obvious, making people unconsciously feel that they must be very rich, and Wang Meng even feels that in order to have a foothold in Luoyang City, the merchants of the Western Regions are likely to choose to buy the newly built shops, so that Hua'an's pre-sale plan can go on very smoothly.

When Hua An heard this, he felt that what a few henchmen under his command said was very reasonable, the merchants of the Western Regions were indeed very rich, and they were relatively generous, and the possibility of buying the newly built shops was extremely great, and this qiē. For Huaan, it is naturally very advantageous.

At this time, seeing that many merchants in the pavilion had gathered, Hua An felt that the time was ripe, so he immediately conveyed the order. Let the officials in the pavilion begin to explain the plans to expand the street and the various matters related to the pre-sale of shops.

When the officials heard the order, they immediately began to explain to these merchants the specific situation of the new streets to be built in Luoyang City, and told these merchants the specific prices of these shops, and told them that whoever paid the highest price would own the shops.

The merchants in the pavilion listened to the explanations of the officials under Hua'an. They all understand the ins and outs of the matter, but as shrewd businessmen, they still have some concerns, among them, the biggest concern is whether the expanded shop is consistent with the model, and. What if they buy a shop in advance and don't get it? After all. None of these shops have yet to be built, and these mock-ups alone do not necessarily convince the merchants of Luoyang City, who are worried that the shops and streets they have built do not match the models, and even some merchants are worried that Hua'an will engage in blackmail.

Of course, for these concerns and concerns of the merchants. Huaan has long considered it and made a variety of preparations for this, among which, the explanation that makes the officials under his command bitter is one of them, and the other. Hua'an also showed his own handwritten letter to the merchants of the city, as a royal family, to promise that the new streets and shops will be built in full accordance with the model plan, and the quality will be guaranteed, and there will be no tofu slag project, so as to completely dispel the determination of the merchants to pre-purchase the shops.

Sure enough, under the persuasion of the officials under Hua'an, many merchants in the pavilion expressed their intention to buy, but buying a shop is a big investment, so they still have to think about it.

Gradually, some merchants left the pavilion, but there were also other merchants who entered the pavilion again, so that in a short period of time, most of the big merchants in Luoyang City entered the pavilion and learned about the pre-sale shops in detail.

Half an hour later, a big businessman from the Western Regions made it clear that he wanted to buy a number of shops next to the new main street, these shops were in the most advantageous position of the new street, and a discerning person could see the huge business opportunities contained in these shops, as long as they were purchased, they would definitely be able to recover the cost in the shortest possible time.

However, as soon as this big merchant in the Western Regions said that he wanted to buy it, a merchant from Luoyang City next to him made a decision to increase the price by 30%, and it was obvious that this merchant from Luoyang City also saw the advantage of the excellent location here.

Not to be outdone, the great merchants of the Western Regions immediately raised the price to 1.5 times the lowest price to show their ambition for the excellent location here.

In the pavilion, there are nearly 100 big businessmen with heads and faces, they naturally joined the ranks of competing for advantageous positions, and pushed the price of the best location of the shop many times, and those shops with a relatively bad location, there are few people to increase the price of the competition, obviously, these merchants are very shrewd, they can see which location of the shop is the most valuable, which is not valuable, and for this reason to the shops in different locations are labeled with the price in their minds, as long as the pre-sale price is lower than the price in their minds, They will be brave enough to stand up for it, but if the pre-sale price exceeds their estimated value, they will give up and choose another position.

After a few hours, the sky gradually darkened, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, and the big merchants in the pavilion all left.

At this time, it was time for Hua'an's teahouse to close, so in order not to affect the closure of the store, Hua'an and his group began to get up and leave.

"Good Luoyang City, it's going to be expanded again!" Before leaving, the owner of the teahouse complained in a strange way.

Obviously, the owner of the teahouse seems to be dissatisfied with the expansion of the streets of Luoyang City.

"Shopkeeper, after the expansion of the street, Luoyang City will become more prosperous, this is a good thing, why are you not happy?" Hua An asked softly.

"What a thing! After the new street was built, all the guests went to the new street, and my old teahouse was afraid that there would be no one. The teahouse owner replied angrily.

"Since the store thinks the new street will steal your business, why don't you open another branch in the new street?" Wang Meng asked.

"Where can I have the money to buy a new store? Can't afford it, can't afford it! The teahouse owner said helplessly.

Hua An smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, looked at the general beside him, and said softly: "Okay." Let's go! After saying that, he left the teahouse.

After walking out of the teahouse, Wang San looked at Hua'an and said softly: "Your Majesty, it seems that this good thing for the benefit of the country and the people will still make some people unhappy!" ”

Hua An smiled: "That's natural, who makes this a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people." What about robbing someone's business? Ha ha! After saying that, he laughed and walked in the direction of the gazebo.

Soon, Hua An and his party walked into the pavilion, and all the merchants in the pavilion had left, leaving only a few officials and some guards outside the pavilion.

At this time, several officials in the pavilion were sorting out the quotations of the merchants, and when they saw Hua An walking into the pavilion, they hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Hua An nodded and looked at several officials. Zhengse said: "What is the situation, are the merchants willing to buy shops?" ”

An official clenched his fists and said: "Back to the king, the merchants of all sizes in Luoyang City, as well as merchants from the Western Regions and other places, a large part of them have already decided to buy, and the price has been pushed very high, and there are a few prices of shops with good locations. It was actually pushed to more than ten times the reserve price, and this was the first day. In a few days, the price may be higher, but there are also some shops in a bad location, and there are no merchants yet, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to sell. ”

Hua An and several generals beside him heard this. They were all very happy, although there were still a small number of shops that no one cared about, but the shops with better locations were actually raised by these merchants more than ten times. This greatly exceeded Hua'an's expectations, after all, Hua'an's reserve price is already one and a half times the cost, and if it is raised more than ten times, the profit can reach about 20 times, which can be described as a very considerable profit, and in the next few days, these businessmen are likely to raise the price again in order to compete for the shop, so that Hua'an can earn more, how can this make Hua'an and his subordinates not excited?

"Wang, I really didn't expect that these businessmen would be so generous, and they actually raised the reserve price by more than ten times, so that we will make a lot of money by expanding the streets of Luoyang City this time." Zhuge Xiong said excitedly.

"Yes! Your Majesty, this expansion of the streets has really made a lot of money, so that not only will there be enough financial resources to expand the city wall, but there will also be a lot of surpluses. Wang San also said happily.

Obviously, their mood at the moment is hard to hide, and they are happy that Huaan's plan is about to succeed.

Wang Meng looked at the real model in front of him, and said: "Your Majesty, the land occupied by the street is only 20% of the area of the city this expansion, and now, as long as we get the money from the merchants to pre-purchase the shops, we can immediately expand the city wall and build the street, and at the same time, we can also use the remaining excess financial resources to build the remaining large vacant land." ”

"Oh, what does General Wang think should be built on the remaining large tract of land?" Hua An looked at Wang Meng and asked softly.

Wang Meng hugged his fists and said: "Back to the king, Luoyang City will inevitably be the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty in the future, there will be more and more merchants and people who come to Luoyang City, and people always want housing, so it is not enough to build streets and shops, we also have to build a large number of houses in the immediate vicinity of the street, so that once the population of Luoyang City increases significantly, there is also a place to live, and the newly built houses are very close to the street, and it will become very convenient for the people to buy goods, so that the business of Luoyang City can be more prosperous." ”

Obviously, Wang Meng had already begun to consider the situation after the large-scale increase in the population of Luoyang City, and felt that it was necessary to build a large number of houses to meet the housing problem after the increase in the population of Luoyang City.

Hua'an heard this, felt that Wang Meng's consideration was very in place, and supported it, however, Luoyang City is a metropolis after all, is a place where every inch of land is valuable, for this reason, Hua'an feels that even if it is to build a house, it must also comply with the principle of saving land, a large courtyard house should be avoided as much as possible, two-story houses should be built less, three-story and four-story houses will become the mainstream, and more than five or six floors of houses, because it is too high, the load-bearing requirements for building materials are very high, the difficulty of building will be relatively large, and the cost will be greatly increased, for this, it is not cost-effective to build.

Hua'an felt that several areas should be demarcated close to the street to build different types of houses, and these different houses should be divided according to the number of floors and scales, among them, the three-story and four-story houses need to occupy a separate area, and since the three- and four-story houses are for the poor, for this reason, there is no need to plan a courtyard, only to build an outer staircase on the side of the first floor, so that the people living on the upper floors can go upstairs normally.

In other words, a group of three-story houses can live in up to three families, and a group of four-story houses can live in up to four families, each of whom lives on one floor, and will not interfere too much with each other.

There are poor people in Luoyang City, and there will also be rich people, especially those big businessmen who do business, they are very rich, let them live in three- or four-story buildings without courtyards, and be in the company of a large group of poor people, they are naturally very reluctant, for this reason, Hua'an has long taken this into account, and decided to set aside an area, and build mansions with courtyards in this area, of course, because the assets of the rich are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, for this reason, the scale of these mansions is not the same, some courtyards are larger, There are more houses, and they are also equipped with rockeries and gardens for leisure, while some courtyards are relatively small and have fewer houses, so that wealthy businessmen can also choose suitable properties according to their own asset strength.

Hua'an told several generals beside him about his plan to build a house, and after hearing it, they were all a little surprised, they felt that building a three- or four-story house, and each floor could live in a family, this was not like a house in the traditional sense at all, but like an inn and a hotel, but they all agreed that this way of building was very effective in saving land, and that more people could live in the same area of land.

"Your Majesty, is it really okay to build a house like this? If the people upstairs sprinkled water on the floor, wouldn't they have brought misery to the people downstairs? Zhuge Xiong said softly.

"Yes! Your Majesty, there is only a thin floor between the people who live in the upper strata and the people who live in the lower strata, and there may be a great contradiction between them! Also, how to solve the problem of cooking? Don't let the people who live on the upper floors make a fire in their rooms to cook! In this way, there is a high risk of causing a fire! And once it causes a fire, the consequences are very unimaginable! Wang San looked at Hua An and said. (To be continued......)
