Chapter 903: The richest person

Yun Dai gave Zhao Yuanjing a brief introduction to the concepts of land sale and housing prices.

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

After listening, he raised his own question: "If we start the experiment in the capital, I can take back the land and build a unified house, but... if the housing price is directly raised, what if the people can't afford it?"

"The emperor, if you want to demolish the house, you can't demolish it in vain. You can't do that and you will be scolded." Yun Dai smiled, "We can compensate the people, that is, compensate them for the demolition and relocation according to the area of ​​the house.

"Can this happen?"

"sure."

"This requires a lot of money," Zhao Yuanjing said, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I am afraid that the money from the treasury will not be able to support it."

Yun Dai said: "There is no need to pay from the court. The emperor, do you know who has the most money in the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"Princes and nobles? Corrupt officials?"

"Haha, corrupt officials... that is indeed rich." Yun Dai couldn't help laughing. "But corrupt officials would not call themselves corrupt officials. It would be hard to investigate one by one. I mean, the richest People are the big salt merchants in Jiangnan."

Zhao Yuanjing said, "This is true. Although officials have power, those who are really rich still belong to the big business people."

"Yes." Yun Dai said, "They are too rich. But no matter how rich they are, they are just businessmen. They will never enter the stream, and they are not as high as a scholar."

"Everything is inferior. The only way to study is to study well. Scholars, farmers, commerce and industry are ranked last."

"So, if they have money, they definitely want status. Otherwise, how could this kind of buy-of-government business breed?" Yun Dai smiled, "Why don't we satisfy their wishes now?"

"How to satisfy?"

"Just... establish another department, such as the Land and Resources Bureau, who specializes in auctioning land, and the person who obtains the land will give him an official identity that can be used for demolition and house building." Yundai said, " This is just a rough idea. The specific details have to be discussed slowly."

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

"The difference is still there." Yun Dai smiled, "This is fair and honest, unlike buying an official in the past, it is a bit embarrassing to say it. Moreover, this is a profitable business, and the money invested can benefit several times. Money. Now that you have your status and status, why not do it?"

"Not bad." Zhao Yuanjing nodded, "This method should be feasible. As for whether it can make money..."

"It will definitely make money, and it's a big profit." Yun Dai smiled.

This was not made up by her, it was the successful experience of countless people.

"But, to whom will the newly built house be sold?" Zhao Yuanjing still has questions.

"Of course it is the wealthy businessmen from other places who want to settle in Beijing, as well as the local people who want to be close to good colleges." Yundai smiled, "This uses the school district room. There are several famous private schools in Kyoto. The emperor, you ordered the admission for official use, and private schools are not allowed. Those who want to enroll in school should be assigned to the school district. You must buy a nearby recipe to enroll. You said, do they want to buy a house?"

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

"Yes, I want to buy it. With a little bit of conditions, who doesn't want my children to excel in school?" Yun Dai smiled.
