Liu Yifeng was already very sure that the so-called Mt. Shan City was built in the area where Seattle, the northernmost city on the West Coast of the United States was built.

He looked at the guide's map of the city, which sits on the eastern shore at the southern end of the bay. Like all the cities in Higashiyama, there are no walls, and there is mainly no enemy to defend.

The whole city runs in a north-south direction, and it is a very long and narrow city.

To the east of the city is a very large freshwater lake, which is the source of fresh water for the city. In later generations, it was called Union Lake, and this place was naturally called Gancheng Lake.

This plain is located at the junction of the mountain mountain and the oak-shaped mountain, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, and has now been returned to farmland and has become a country vacation manor built by the rich people of the city.

Most of the arable land and pastures were moved to the south of the city.

Liu Yifeng knew that it was the estuarine plain of Oregon in later generations, where the climate and geographical environment were very close to Qi Province.

"My lord, can you return the map to the villain?"

It was a full-time guide in Yushan City who spoke, and Liu Yifeng locked up the group of people the moment they walked into the inn, and decisively came up. He knew that this must be a group of people who had just arrived in Dongshan Prefecture, because some of them were still wearing folk clothes. It must be an explorer who is preparing to go south to Jinshan City to dig for gold.

This kind of newcomer is the best way to fool the money.

I didn't expect that I sat down and didn't talk a few words, and I didn't know what was going on, and the hand-drawn animal skin map that I could endure to survive was in Liu Yifeng's hands.

He looked at Liu Yifeng's greedy reading appearance, he was really afraid that this young man would eat his map, and it took him a year to ask countless people, and he personally ran countless places to draw the map!

Liu Yifeng put down the map, but he didn't mean to return it to the other party at all. But the guide didn't dare to take it back, because Feng Shuo beside him looked arrogant, and deliberately inadvertently picked up the hem of his clothes, revealing half of his handcuff.

"You drew this map?"

"Yes, sir."

"Make a price."

The guide's face was as bitter as a bitter melon, and he was really afraid of something: "My lord, this map is not for sale." ”

"Huh!?"

Feng Shuo came to him with a broken face, and the guide was suddenly very nervous. Among Liu Yifeng's team, the most gangsters are him and Feng Shuo, Liu Yifeng is because of his short hair and extraordinary height, and Feng Shuo has an aura cultivated by running around the rivers and lakes for many years.

"Adult, adult, you really can't sell it, this map is a small one that took a year to draw, and the small one depends on this one to eat, if you buy it, the villain won't have to eat!"

Liu Yifeng appeased Feng Shuo and returned the map to the guide. He didn't want the map, he just said it casually.

After getting the map back, the guide quickly thanked him.

Liu Yifeng took out a bag, and the sound of metal collision in it was the most beautiful sound of this era, commonly known as: money rings.

"I don't need a guide, but I have some questions, and if you answer one, you'll take 5 copper coins."

The guide quickly agreed, originally he was only 50 copper coins a day as a guide, and it would not take half an hour to answer 10 questions.

"The first question: Why is Dongshan State called Dongshan State?"

This question made Feng Shuo, Li Hongji and Zheng Zhilong all interested.

To be honest, they don't know why Dongshan Prefecture is called Dongshan Prefecture, and since they can remember, Dongshan Prefecture has been called Dongshan Prefecture. Just like many people don't know why they are born in such a name, even if the information in later generations is so developed, you can find information on the Internet with your fingers, and many people don't know the origin of the name of their hometown.

The same is true for this guide, he was stunned, because he also knew from the beginning of his memory that Daming had a Dongshan Prefecture overseas.

Seeing that the guide was stunned, Liu Yifeng continued to ask: "Second question: Who gave these names and what are they based on?" ”

There was silence again.

"The third question: Where is the black market in Ganshan City?"

"I know this!" The guide finally knew a problem: "There are both the warehouse area of the port and the warehouse area of the mall!" ”

How is it in the warehouse area again?

However, Liu Yifeng didn't ask this question, and he came up with the answer vaguely:

The first places to build in the city were always ports and warehouses, and the warehouses established at that time were basically not much planned and were mainly practical. Therefore, the warehouse area is very chaotic compared to the urban areas that were planned later, and it is very suitable for people from all walks of life to hide here and establish a black market.

Liu Yifeng threw 5 copper plates to him, and continued to ask: "How to get in?" ”

The guide taught Liu Yifeng a passage, Liu Yifeng didn't remember it, Feng Shuo, who ran the rivers and lakes all the year round, remembered it once, and Liu Yifeng threw 5 copper plates to him.

After that, he asked a lot of questions, some about the city of Yushan, some about the Maritime Safety Bureau, and some officials Brown-skinned Savage.

This guide can basically answer the questions of Mt. Yama Castle.

It has been 9 years since the city was built, and it was founded by the first batch of people and previous immigrants. Because there is no city wall, the city presents an urban model that is rarely seen in the Central Plains: the urban system.

This is very similar to the city of Caoshan, which is also divided into upper and lower districts, but the two urban areas are still connected. And the city is a viral expansion in the true sense.

Liu Yifeng's urban area where they are located is the city of Shan Mountain, which was built back then, and the urban area is not big, and you can walk from north to south in one day.

Continuing to walk south for half a day, there is another urban area, which was built seven years ago as a post station for southward reclamation of trading houses, and over time it has become an urban area that can accommodate 230,000 people.

And that's not all, continue to the southernmost part of Yushan Bay, there are three shipyards, and around these three shipyards there is another urban area that can accommodate 230,000 people.

The three urban areas are collectively called the Castle, but the people who live in the Castle are used to calling the northernmost city the Castle. In the middle is the shopping mall, because it is the headquarters of half of the commercial houses in Dongshan State.

And the southernmost one is called Fifty Cities.

At first, the navy built three shipyards there, and the navy and the southern army stationed in Dongshan Prefecture were also stationed there.

Later, with the increase of immigrants, five years ago, the Maritime Safety Bureau also moved the headquarters and built the city, the urban planning to five vertical and seven horizontal as the main road, the city is divided into 48 squares, counting the military camp of the Navy and the military camp of the Southern Army, a total of 50 squares, so it is called Fifty Cities.

"But the little one has never been to Fifty Cities, and the people who live there are either rich or expensive, and many of the shopkeepers in the mall have bought land there and built other courtyards."

"Fifty Cities is expensive?"

The guide stretched out his hand and gestured to the inn where they were, and said, "Just such a large piece of land, it costs 1,000 taels!" ”

Liu Yifeng raised his head and estimated the area of the inn, counting the kitchen and warehouse in the backyard, covering an area of nearly 300 square meters, and the usable area was around 250 square meters.

So, 30-40 taels of one square meter?

Liu Yifeng pouted, he already knew that the income of many people in Daming was only 3,40 taels a year, and he could only buy a toilet without eating or drinking for 3 years.

Although Li Hongji and the others did not have Liu Yifeng's strong estimation ability, they still probably knew what a terrible price it was for such a large piece of land in the inn to cost 1,000 taels, and they were shocked beyond measure.

"The most expensive land in Quanzhou has not reached this price......"

The old house of Zheng Zhilong's family is built in the most expensive area of Quanzhou, and the average is only 15 taels and one square meter.

As for Feng Shuo and Li Hongji, they were both from the countryside, and they were completely stupid by the land price of Fifty Cities.

"Don't talk about Quanzhou, I heard that the price in Beijing is about the same." The guide also sighed: "So now as long as the shopkeeper who runs a trading house in Dongshan Prefecture is eager to have an annex in Fifty City. If you don't have another courtyard in Fifty City, you will be embarrassed to meet people when you go to the Qinglou. ”

The more Liu Yifeng listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, how could he have a feeling of real estate in later generations.

"The land of Fifty Cities is being sold by the Maritime Administration?"

"That's right, it must be the Maritime Safety Bureau, the imperial court of Dongshan Prefecture is the Maritime Safety Bureau."

"What about the land outside the city? Is it also being sold by the Maritime Administration? ”

"Those are not, the borderless land is reclaimed by itself, and the Maritime Affairs Bureau will only come to collect taxes, and the taxes are very low, so people like us live outside the city."

Thinking as he spoke, he stretched out his hand and hinted at 10 copper coins.

Liu Yifeng threw a handful of copper coins on the table and motioned for him to take them, and then asked, "What about the mall?" ”

"The land in the earliest mall didn't cost money, and the money that began to be asked for this year was all harmed by Jinshan City."

"Expand it."

"From the beginning of the construction of Jinshan City, the Maritime Safety Bureau has set aside a large coastal area, saying that the land in it is all for money, and those who violate the construction will be severely fined. Relying on the sale of land in Jinshan City, the Maritime Safety Bureau has made a lot of money, and as a result, since this year, the Maritime Safety Bureau has begun to enclose land in Caoshan City, Maoshan City and Jinshan City. ”

After that, Feng Shuo and the others also asked some questions, all of which were things that people who had lived in Jishan City for two or three years knew, and in the blink of an eye, they had earned 125 copper coins, and the snot bubbles of beauty came out.

When they were in Jishan City before, because they didn't go too deep into Jishan City, they didn't have a deep feeling about many places in Dongshan Prefecture that are fundamentally different from Daming locality, and now they find that Dongshan Prefecture and Daming are really different at all.

At the same time, I also understood the true meaning of the phrase "the Maritime Safety Bureau is the imperial court overseas".

Liu Yifeng has no questions to ask behind him, and most of the questions he cares about have been satisfied.

I don't know why, but four words keep echoing in his mind now: land finance.

This is the method used by the later republics to solve the lack of resources for the country's latecomers, and the effect is leveraged, but the sequelae are also huge.

However, he did not criticize land finance, which was indeed one of the few remaining methods of the era to allow the Republic to catch up with the world, and it was the one with the least sequelae.

Dongshan Prefecture has obviously begun to play with land finance, and now the effect is not bad, but I don't know if this is a long-term policy or a short-term policy.

If it is a long-term policy, should you consider becoming a businessman who speculates on real estate?
