Chapter 899 The Richest Person

Yun Dai briefly explained to Zhao Yuanjing the concepts of buying and selling land and housing prices.

Zhao Yuanjing didn't care at first, but gradually, his expression became serious.

After listening, he asked his own question: "If we start the experiment in the capital, I can take back the land and build houses together, but... what if the people can't afford to raise the house price directly?"

"Your majesty, if you want to demolish the house, you can't do it for nothing. You can't do that kind of thing, you will be scolded." Yun Dai smiled, "We can compensate the people, that is, compensate them for the demolition according to the area of ​​the house."

"Can it still be like this?"

"sure."

"It needs a lot of money." Zhao Yuanjing said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes, but the money from the national treasury may not be able to support this."

Yun Dai said: "There is no need for the court to pay. Your Majesty, do you know who is the richest person in our Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"Royals and nobles? Corrupt officials?"

"Haha, corrupt officials...they are indeed rich." Yun Dai couldn't help laughing, "But corrupt officials won't say that they are corrupt officials, and it would take a lot of effort to check them one by one. I mean, the richest People, they belong to those big salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River."

Zhao Yuanjing said: "That's true. In fact, although officials have power, the real rich belong to those big businessmen."

"That's right." Yun Dai said, "They are too rich. But no matter how rich they are, they are just businessmen, they will never be popular, and they are not as high as scholars."

"Everything is low-grade, but reading is high. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen rank last."

"So, if they have money, they must also want status. Otherwise, how could there be such a business as buying officials?" Yun Dai laughed, "Why don't we satisfy their wishes now?"

"How to satisfy?"

"Just... set up another department, such as the Land Bureau, to specialize in land auctions, and the person who gets the land will be given a government-certified identity to demolish and build houses." Yun Dai said, " This is just a very rough idea, and the specific details have to be discussed slowly.”

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said, "What's the difference between you and asking them to buy officials with money?"

"There is still a difference." Yun Dai smiled and said, "This is aboveboard. It's not like buying an official in the past. It's a bit embarrassing to say it. Besides, this is a profitable business. The money invested can get several times the benefits. Money You have the status and status, so why not do it?"

"That's right." Zhao Yuanjing nodded, "This method should be feasible. As for whether it can make money..."

"It will definitely make money, and it will be a lot of money." Yun Dai laughed.

This is not something she invented, it is a successful experience that has been practiced by countless people.

"But, who is the newly built house sold to?" Zhao Yuanjing still had doubts.

"Of course, those wealthy businessmen who want to settle in Beijing from other places, as well as the local people who want to be close to good colleges." Yun Dai smiled, "This uses the school district housing. There are several famous private schools in Beijing right now. Your Majesty, you have ordered that it be used by the government, and that private schools are not allowed. Those who want to enroll in the school, the principle is to set aside a school district room. You must buy a nearby prescription to enroll. Do you think they want to buy a house?"

Zhao Yuanjing was stunned for a while, then nodded: "I want to buy it."

"Yes, I want to buy it. If there are some conditions, who wouldn't want their children to excel in school?" Yun Dai laughed.
