Chapter 64: Where Does His Money Come From?
Chong Yangming is the deacon of Yuanjianmen, who is responsible for verifying the situation of the new city in the future and judging how much tax can be collected.
However, he was no ordinary deacon. This monk who had at least a mid-level cultivation in the foundation building period was also a distant nephew of Zhong Li, the elder of Yushu Peak of the Yuan Sword Gate.
Interestingly, Chong Yangming and Ji Xia still have a relationship.
Back then, Zhongli intended to marry Caiyingzhuang and Yushufeng. The object is Yang Ming and Ji Xia. It's just that this family affair was rejected by Ji Xia. Chong Yangming looked at Ji Xia's appearance, and saw that Ji Xia, who was just a yellow-haired girl, didn't have much of a look, and bluntly refused.
As a result, the relationship between the two has always been bland and a little more embarrassing.
However, recently, Zhongli has received a lot of gifts from Caiyingzhuang, in order to let Zhongli take care of the future new city.
Zhongli didn't take it seriously, and directly gave it to Chong Yangming to deal with it.
As soon as Chong Yangming understood a little, he found something that made him secretly happy. It turned out that this future new city turned out to be such a big piece of fat.
Obviously, the city lord Wei Lai only has a foundation building period to cultivate, but it is extremely generous, and it is not bad at all.
Looking at it again, there is no one in this huge Yuan Sword Sect who is friendly with them, and Wei Lai is just a mountain cultivator, except for his whereabouts are a little secretive, he doesn't seem to be a master with a background.
Isn't such a goal a good candidate for extortion?
Thinking clearly in his heart, Chong Yangming changed into his regular clothes and went to the street.
When he came, he was in a hurry, and there were many distractions in his heart, and he didn't see anything on the road. Really walking on the street, Chong Yangming's well-informed eyes couldn't help but show some surprise.
"The streets are very clean. "This is the first impression of Yang Ming.
You must know that even in Lingguang Ruins, because of the long construction and backward planning, the sewers are only newly dug in key areas, and some large shops will clean the façade diligently.
As a result, most of the streets of Emmanuel are filthy.
Those who are quite virtuous in cultivation will naturally fly away directly, or jump out of the dirt with a jump.
Those who are rich but not good at cultivating are sitting in a sedan chair, driving a carriage, and at the worst they also have a horse and a donkey as a car. No matter how dirty and messy the road is, no matter how much it is covered with melon skin and muddy excrement, it will not get dirty on them.
However, this future new city is all over the city, and all the streets are clean.
From time to time, a flying sword flies slowly in the high altitude of the city, and there is a magic weapon hanging on the flying sword: No littering, and those who fail to dispose of garbage according to the classification will be fined!
"It's really rich!" Chong Yangming's eyes turned red again, this flying sword magic weapon and the shouting magic weapon are both valuable things.
When Chong Yangming's gaze fell on the ground again, and when he saw the sewers, Chong Yangming couldn't help but take out a small notebook.
"Flying sword + shouting magic weapon. Rich!"
"Sewers, rich and first-class!"
Next, Chong Yangming carefully observed the entire future new city.
"There is no tax here, although it is said that once you settle down, you will be exempt from taxes for three years, but what will Weilai eat and drink in these three years?"
"There is a Mengxue, and they don't charge money?"
"This Jishi University is still adopting orphans. Half of the eldest son starved to death, where did they get the money to support him?"
"This ...... The pharmacy turned out to be so cheap. It's unbelievable that it's so cheap!"
"How can the house here be so cheap! Although it is only rented for 70 years, such a large two-entry courtyard only costs seventy taels of silver, and I have to queue up if I want a house in the sect. What do you say that the land plan is full, and even the elders can't make a move!
"Rich plus first, first, first...... In short, this Wei Lai is too rich. Where does his money come from?" this question made Chong Yangming slightly stunned.
He had already seen the entire future new city, although the whole city was owned by Wei Lai, and the land was only rented and not sold. However, the rent charged by Welai is very low.
With such a low rent, it is simply impossible to pay for the huge expenses incurred in building the city.
After all, the city is very well built.
High-standard sewers, spacious roads, flying shouting devices, constant security patrols, heavily recruited municipal administrators, high-density sanitation and cleaning personnel patrolling all the time, and Jishi University, where huge investments do not see the return on output.
Everything is a gold-swallowing monster, and it is a gold-swallowing monster that only has inputs and no output.
All these questions were slightly clued when Chong Yangming stopped at the door of Caiyingzhuang's shop.
The most prosperous new city in the future is the east gate, from the east gate out, you can see a small wharf on the moat, the boats up and down the small wharf, can go straight to the spring river through a river called the green spring river, so as to market the entire Yu country.
With such convenient transportation, the prosperity of this east gate can be seen.
Therefore, it is the place with the most shops and the most people.
It's such a popular place, and the biggest shop is Caiyingzhuang!
Caiyingzhuang can be said to be the largest supermarket in the entire future new city, but they alone occupy more than ten shops. It is more than 60 meters long and more than 30 meters wide.
Moreover, Choi Eiso is a three-story building.
The first floor sells department stores, and it is a place for ordinary people to go in and shop.
The second floor is only accessible to immortal cultivators, because it sells things that only some immortal cultivators need. For example, low-grade magic weapons, rune paper, pen and ink needed to practice talismans, raw materials needed to refine elixir, dark iron mythril needed to make magic weapons, and various precious medicinal materials.
It stands to reason that the department store on the first floor is naturally the most lively. The second floor is limited to immortal cultivators, so there are many fewer people.
On the third floor, there must be fewer people, and the things sold are more expensive and more refined.
In fact, there is indeed such a rule, because the third floor sells spirit stones, which are indeed more expensive and refined.
The reason why I am going upstairs is because there are landing signs planned on it, so that the immortal cultivators who fly from all over the place can land, or dock the flying boat. The only thing that really sells things is a small storefront.
However, it is this small shop, but there are a lot of people. There are people landing, people returning with a full load, and leaving satisfied.
"When did these monks like to buy things so much? Besides, spirit stones are not cheap. Although this thing is hard currency......" Suddenly, Chong Yang Ming stopped.
He understood the problem.
I saw a huge and eye-catching propaganda poster hanging outside the Lingshi shop on the third floor of Caiyingzhuang, which was written with words that made Chong Yangming's face red and his blood gushing.
"Ninety-fifty percent off the high-grade spirit stones! ”
