Chapter 216 Construction of New Kaifeng
Chai Rong said that he would pay the rent, but he did not tell Ye Hua when to pay. He also had to pay for ordering cement, but I'm sorry, the treasury can't take it out!
The Dazhou family was really hard to be. After working hard for two years, the money and food saved were basically used to consolidate the army.
Cultivate the new army, purchase weapons, fight against the Southern Tang, and then mobilize troops to guard against the Khitan. These items alone have ended the treasury. After all, it is because of its weak foundation and there are too many things to do...
Whether it is Chai Rong or Guo Wei, they all want to rebuild Kaifeng City, from inside to outside, from top to bottom, completely rebuild it. However, this project is too huge, and all kinds of fancy things are added up slightly, which makes Chai Rong's head big.
"Champion Hou, in short, the court will not owe you what you want, but the problem is that you have to have a way to make money!"
After hearing this, Ye Hua vomited blood and fell to the ground!
He thought Zhao Kuangyin was enough to cheat. That guy was eating and drinking for free, and he still tried Qiu Feng after eating. As a result, Chai Rong was even more cheating than the Zhao surnamed! Not only did he eat and drink for free, he also asked himself to clean the plate. Where is your conscience?
"Can I refuse?"
"No!" Chai Rong told Ye Hua very frankly, "This is recommended by Grand Master Feng. He said that you have extraordinary skills, so naturally you can have a solution!"
"I have a shit!"
The man surnamed Feng is really disrespectful to the old man. He just helped him and immediately took revenge. It was nothing! Ye Hua swears, it is hard for a good cook to cook without rice. What else can he do without money?
Even if Ye Hua sells more than 100 kilograms, he will not be able to fill the bottomless pit... "Your Highness, it is absolutely impossible for the entire Kaifeng to be constructed together. We can only rectify it in sections."
"Partition?"
"That's right, it's just to solve some of the problems first... the court must at least take out the start-up capital."
Chai Rong made a serious thought statement, "What do you need to do?"
Ye Hua got together and said with a smile: "Your Highness, the court only needs to collect the land, level the ground, build the roads, and prepare the sewers."
Chai Rong frowned, "What can I do if I leave a large open space?"
"Sell it for money!"
Ye Hua really shook his head. Even Chai Rong, who is the best economic mind, cannot understand the means of running a city. Just let me teach you a class!
In fact, Ye Hua had built a commercial street before, rented a house outside, and made a lot of money, which was his first bet of money.
This time, he suggested expanding from one street to one urban area.
The imperial court made two roads and one level road, sewers, and leveled the ground, and then divided the ground into pieces and sold it to merchants, allowing them to build them into commercial areas or residential areas, and the imperial court earned land sales fees.
Chai Rong's understanding ability is indeed very strong.
He immediately grasped the key. The benefits of doing this are obvious. The first is that it saves costs. The court is only responsible for flattening the land and building roads, which greatly reduces the cost. Moreover, by selling the land, he can make a fortune. Maybe not only will he not lose money, but he can also make a lot of money.
For the not-so-abundant Dazhou, it is very attractive.
But Chai Rong had two concerns.
The first is to expropriate land. What should the people who live there do?
How to settle down?
Second, two years ago, Ye Hua built a commercial street and followed suit. The result was self-evident.
How long has it been? Why did the scar heal and forget the pain, and have to repeat the same mistake?
Faced with Chai Rong's questions, Ye Hua was full of confidence.
Because he investigated Wuyou Cave, he discussed the issue of Kaifeng's household registration with Dou Wei many times. According to the imperial household registration Qimin, there were 300,000 people in Kaifeng, and if the imperial guards were added, it would be about 430,000.
However, walking in Kaifeng Prefecture will definitely not be like this. You will only feel that there are people everywhere, shoulder to shoulder, dense, even the corners are full of people.
What's the problem?
In a nutshell, it is a private construction, and a large number of foreign black households gathered in Kaifeng.
Originally, cities in the Tang Dynasty were separated from markets for easy management. The residential area was a residential area and the commercial area was a commercial area. When they were free, they were either high-ranking officials or gangsters.
The living scope of ordinary people is very narrow.
Of course, the advantage of doing this is that it is easy to manage, but the disadvantage is that it is wasting a lot of land.
As the Tang Dynasty gradually declined and the dynasties changed, the constraints became smaller and smaller, and the pattern of separation of the market gradually collapsed. Of course, Ye Hua also made contributions to this matter.
After breaking the market structure, a large number of commercial people flocked to Kaifeng. They had no place to live, so they built illegal buildings everywhere. The shacks under the bridge piers could hide several families.
However, these foreign populations lack a sense of security and urgently need to find someone to protect them. Wuyou Cave takes advantage of the situation, which is also a major reason for the development and growth of Wuyou Cave.
To completely eradicate Wuyou Cave, it is not to repair or not to repair the sewer, but to effectively manage the entire city and all population.
As the only metropolis in the world with a population of hundreds of thousands, if it exerts its potential, the wealth it can contribute is amazing.
"Your Highness, let's take over the land and carry out unified leveling planning, so that one-third of the land can be saved!" Ye Hua is not lying. There are more than a dozen large garbage dumps in the city, some of which have been decades, and are covered with trees. There are also abandoned rivers and messy drainage ditches. There is another problem. Some powerful and powerful families not only own huge mansions, but also plant trees around the mansions, occupy a lot of land for the people, build houses, and live in their families.
Some big families can even occupy half of the streets, and more than half of the land does not belong to them!
Also, what is even more amazing is that in the initial city, there were actually a small piece of farmland and vegetable fields... Ye Hua was simply crazy. He really didn't know how to operate intensively. Every inch of land was valuable, so how could he waste it like this!
Clear the land, clarify the land rights, carry out unified planning, and save more vacant land, which belongs to the wealth of the court!
Chai Rong understood this easily.
And the next suggestions refreshed Chai Rong.
"Your Highness, we can build multi-story buildings."
"What's the meaning?"
"The traditional courtyard house is square and feng shui pattern, and it occupies too much area. For example, a house has the original use area that remains unchanged, but it can be changed to a small second floor. Does the land occupy less? "
Ye Hua was afraid that Chai Rong would not understand, so he used a few simple strokes on the ground with a branch to demonstrate to him the future Kaifeng houses.
It is generally mainly composed of two-story buildings. A basement is dug underneath to store grain and vegetables. The two floors above the ground can be used for the whole family to live in. The second floor facing the street can also be used as a storehouse to do some small business.
Of course, if you have sufficient funds, you can build a third floor or even more.
In short, we must ask God for land and let Kaifeng "lose weight" by "growing taller", so that we can save more space. Ye Hua conservatively estimates that after this struggle, the land efficiency can at least double.
It turns out that those illegal illegal households can have a place to settle down by purchasing or renting, which is much more comfortable than living in a shed with air leakage on all sides and extremely dangerous.
"If it doesn't work, it's still not! If you build a small building with two or even three floors, it's expensive and unsafe, and it's unbearable for ordinary people!"
"How could it be!" Ye Hua smiled and said, "Isn't there any cement? Moreover, for the safety of the house, the key areas can be reinforced with iron tendons. If your Highness still has doubts, I can build a few model houses and ask your Highness to verify."
"oh!"
Chai Rong's brows trembled, and suddenly pointed at Ye Hua's nose, laughing.
"Okay, you are really good at calculating! Now no one knows that the large iron smelting workshop in Kaifeng is your champion shop. It's not enough to buy cement, and you want to sell iron. You really don't make enough money!"
Ye Hua wanted to defend himself, and Chai Rong waved his hand.
"As long as you can do it, how much you can earn is your ability! I am not interested in it." Chai Rong said domineeringly: "I just want to know if I can sell it after I have built so many houses?"
"Yes! Why can't it be!" Ye Hua said: "Your Highness, do you know that in the first half of this year, there were more children born in Kaifeng than last year!"
Chai Rong's eyes suddenly lit up. The birth of a population seemed to be more attractive than real estate.
There is no way. In the era when the cap tax was abolished, the more people the population, the larger the tax base, the more troops the stronger the national strength.
In order to avenge, Goujian spent ten years to give birth to a child and train his troops for ten years. Chai Rong obviously had this idea, the more the population, the better.
But with more people, the accommodation problem must be solved.
Also, the Great Zhou Kingdom was booming. After defeating the Southern Tang Dynasty, looking around the world, only one Khitan could compete with the Great Zhou Dynasty. The rest of the Jiangnan countries were insignificant!
A city has a skyrocketing population and a flood of foreign populations, making it strange that the property is not hot!
...
Ye Hua and Chai Rong talked a lot, and finally convinced the King of Jin. He nodded in agreement, but Chai Rong was a little embarrassed.
"The Kaifeng Mansion can only take out 500,000 yuan. If you want the rent for the house outside the city, you have to raise the start-up capital yourself. If you don't have rent, then you will be given this money as start-up capital..." Chai Rong told Ye Hua very seriously, you can only choose one of two!
Ye Hua said the words were dry, but he was really stunned.
Chai Rong, you are just a shameless and black-hearted man!
I'm sorry, I thought you were a generous person!
Unfortunately, I misread it. You just want me to be a passing God of Wealth and take out the rent I have collected for "two connections and one square meter". Do you still have a conscience?
Chai Rong rolled his eyelids and said that his conscience is worth a lot of money. Don’t cry if you kid, you are poor. After such a big project, your family’s money treasury will be full.
I will let you get some blood, which is to lose money and avoid disasters!
Sure enough, none of the good things can be the emperor!
Ye Hua cursed Chai Rong in his heart.
Chapter completed!
