Hearing Jiuwan's relay, Xie Xun was embarrassed.

He's a woman~

With two sighs, he quickly put this matter aside, there is the prophecy of the high monk, he will not get married or set up a marriage in three years, whatever those little ladies want to make trouble.

Three years is too long for a sixteen or seventeen-year-old lady, and no one can afford to delay it. Even if it is Chu Yu, I am afraid that if I have to get the exact promise of the Xie family first, the Chu family may make Chu Yu wait for three years.

In this era, if you stay up to your twenties, you will become an old girl, and you will not be able to get married!

The new project is about to be launched, and the emperor is still in chaos, asking him to enter the palace every day, and he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to sleep, where can he think about those things in the wind and moon?

"Lord Shizi, do you really want to rebuild that area south of the city?" The money steward was full of worries between his eyebrows, "It's full of shantytowns, dirty and messy, and there are docks, and it's noisy, even if you build a mansion there, I'm afraid it won't sell for a price......"

It's not that he doubts the prince, now even the grandfather of the country allows the prince to do whatever he wants, but the investment in that piece of land is too much, and he, as the chief steward, has to remind the prince.

In the south of the city, because of the proximity to the canal, the wharves are lined up, and the people come and go to carry goods, and most of the displaced people are mixed there, but also because the land is low-lying, and during the rainy season, the roads are muddy, and it is the dirtiest and messy place in the capital. Rich people don't want to set foot there, let alone buy a house to live in.

There were even officials who suggested building a wall to separate the area because it was so chaotic. The emperor gave up because he didn't want to shrink the land of the capital.

Because of this, the price of land there is very low, and there are even many lands that are still ownerless, and you only need to go to the household department and spend a small amount of money to buy those borderless lands. It's just that the area is a bit large, even if the price is cheap, it still costs 50 million taels of silver, which is just to buy land, and then you have to hire workers to build houses and build roads...... The whole project, without hundreds of millions of taels, can't be done at all.

When the money steward first heard that it would cost so much silver, he was stunned.

During this time, Donghai Department Store and Guigongzi earned more than 30 million taels, that is, there were at least 70 million taels of silver, all of which relied on the investment of shareholders.

No wonder the prince said that this project is a million taels of shares, and the silver is small.

There are many wealthy officials and merchants in the capital, but no more than 50 can come up with a million taels of idle silver in the middle of the year. Even if those people all participate in the shares, there are still 20 million taels to make up with the scattered silver invested by the common people.

This prince really dares to do it!

"Uncle Qian, sit down and eat a bowl of shaved ice, and go to the fire."

Maybe he was too worried about the project in the south of the city, and there were a lot of boils on Steward Qian's face, and Xie Xun couldn't bear to look at it.

The money steward said in his heart, where is the old slave in the mood to eat shaved ice!

The master gave it, as a slave, he couldn't quit, he pressed down his worries, took the shaved ice, and ate it slowly.

Xie Xun saw that Steward Qian was eating shaved ice, so he asked about the progress of the other stewards.

"How is the cement powdered?" Xie Xun asked.

The steward in charge of the cement workshop hurriedly bowed forward, "Tens of thousands of catties have been burned, and the former workshop has recruited more than 100 people, and there are more than 2,000 catties a day, so it should be no problem." ”

Xie Xun nodded and said that he was satisfied with the output.

Cement is the most common thing in modern time-traveling novels, and he was also curious at the beginning, without a cement machine, can cement really be made in ancient times?

In order to scare the author of a certain time-traveling novel, he searched the Internet for a long time, and even let him find the formula and simple production process, and he even experimented with his own hands, and the finished product was quite good.

When cement is made, cement bricks are simpler.

"How about cement bricks and prefabricated cement panels?" Xie Xun asked again.

The workshop manager in charge of making cement bricks and prefabricated panels bowed forward.

"The finished product has been improved for the second time according to what the prince said. Nowadays, the load bearing of prefabricated slabs has reached 400 catties per square meter. ”

Xie Xun snorted lightly, such a load-bearing is almost the same as that of modern prefabricated panels.

This is Xie Xun's next big project, real estate development!

Qian steward has always told him that there is too much investment in the reconstruction of the land in the south of the city, and as an ancient, he does not know how profitable it is in modern real estate.

That's the hen that really lays the golden eggs!

It's just that his plan can't be broken up and explained to the stewards below, first, these ancients can't understand it at all before they see the effect, and second, he is afraid that the news will leak out, and the shareholders will not come to invest money.

The land in the south of the city is really not what it looks like now.

In the previous dynasty, the land in the south of the city was not in the capital. At the time of the founding of the Yun Dynasty, there were endless wars, refugees and displaced people everywhere, Gaozu in order to show his compassion for the people, deliberately opened up a piece of land outside the south city gate to accommodate refugees and disaster victims, and later even expanded the city wall to incorporate that land into the capital. Because it is a place where displaced people live, the Yun Dynasty has not had idle silver since the founding of the country, and the area south of the city is almost in a state of abandonment.

Xie Xun doesn't plan to make the project in the south of the city public, so let's collect the money first!

Fortunately, his cheap father Xie Shangshu completely trusted him, and even helped him bargain with Chu Shangshu about the land in the south of the city, otherwise he would not have been able to get the land in the south of the city for 50 million taels of silver.

The unit price of less than 20 taels of silver and one square meter is the capital of every inch of land!

In other areas, the cheapest land is 5021 square meters, and the average price in the Chengdong Mansion District is as high as 221 square meters, which is the price of vacant land. The built house, one entered, one hundred square meters, at least 20,000 taels of silver. Ordinary Beijing officials, if they don't go out to fish, they can't even afford a house.

According to the survey results of Xie Xun's market, more than 1 million of the more than 3 million people in Beijing are in a state of renting. Most of these people moved from other provinces, and they had an industry in their hometown, or because they were greedy for the stability of the capital and no disaster, or because they were studying and starting a career for their children and grandchildren, they moved to the capital, but they could not afford to buy a house, so they could only rent it.

These people, squeezed hard, can come up with 18,000 taels of silver to buy a house, at least 100,000 households. Xie Xun only needs 20,000 such customers, which is enough to make a lot of money!

Not to mention, there are also stores and warehouses near the wharf...... How can the project in the south of the city be compensated?

It's just that even if these words are said, no one will believe them for the time being, and now the land in the south of the city, let alone let people take out 18,000 taels of silver to buy a house and buy a land, even if it is 100 taels of silver, no one is willing. The living environment and security are really poor!

Xie Xun quietly acquired the land in the south of the city while recruiting shareholders. In the morning newspaper, he only wrote about the name of the project "Home" and the news of recruiting shareholders, with a maximum of 2 million taels of silver per household.

However, this time, only the emperor took out two million taels of silver, and there were only about 20 million taels of silver, and the others were scattered hundreds of thousands of taels, tens of thousands of taels, and thousands of taels of silver.

Xie Xun is not too little for 100 taels, and 2 million taels is not too much, as long as he is willing to participate in the shares, he will receive them.

After the people of the capital knew what the specific project was, the intestines of those shareholders were repentant, if they were not afraid of the power of the Zhenguo Mansion, they would definitely gather to ask for the shares!
