Chapter 272 The Kindness of the Consort
Xiao Lingyao suddenly blushed, knowing where she was wrong: "So it turns out, I originally asked Cao Jing to buy some houses in Sui City, but the location was too good. Not only was there not much room for appreciation, but even the purchase price was not high.
More difficult."
"Of course. How can ordinary people dare to take over the place where the princes and nobles live?" Qin Feng thought of what later generations would call a circle. It would be stressful for people who are not from the same circle to mix together in one place.
But if they are all princes and nobles, this kind of transaction is not very convenient for Xiao Lingyao, not to mention the turnover rate is not high.
This is fundamentally different from the real estate transactions of later generations. As long as they have money, they can just buy it. Here, we have to consider more factors: "If your highness purchases a house again, you might as well use your own advantages."
"What does this mean?"
"Wherever the Ministry of Industry plans to move, His Highness will buy in advance and you will definitely not lose money."
As soon as Qin Feng pointed it out, Xiao Lingyao, who was already a savvy person, understood immediately: "I see, the prince-in-law has also walked this way before?"
"After all, I am also a member of the Taifu Mansion. I have been exposed to it a lot, and it still helps me a lot in doing business. But most of the time I have to cross the river by feeling for the stones," Qin Feng sighed: "Sometimes doing business also requires a little luck."
Perhaps the original person here had a hard time, and God was willing to make up for it, so his luck was much better than before.
Xiao Lingyao didn't expect to gain new experience by following him out to see the house. Thinking of the house she had taken over before, it was like putting all her efforts in one place. Unlike Qin Feng, he considered multiple possibilities and spent his money in different places.
, and wait for the harvest.
"Some of your residences are too far from the examination center, and the candidates have to stay overnight in the examination center after admission, and are not allowed to leave in the middle." Xiao Lingyao said: "Can you still charge them while they are in admission to take the examination?"
Qin Feng had long known the cruelty of the ancient imperial examinations. Once he entered the examination hall, he would not be able to leave until the end of the examination. He would eat, drink and have sex in a small space and could not come out until the end of the examination.
Therefore, candidates often prepare to replenish their health at home before going to take the exam, just to prevent themselves from fainting during the exam.
The examination hall of this dynasty was built separately, and the overall scale looked grand, but the dormitories inside were still small and refined. This dormitory was the space where the examination students stayed. Each dormitory had walls on three sides, and one side was open to the outside.
.
That space was probably very large. If converted into square meters in later generations, it would be less than 1.5 square meters. The area of the house is not standard, so it is wide enough to accommodate seats, and the eaves are as high as the eyebrows.
What do you mean? It’s not enough to cover a straw mat, and the eaves are only at eyebrow level. It’s hard to eat, drink, and defecate in such a space.
But this design has one advantage: they are separated from each other and independent of each other, which can prevent others from affecting the rhythm or copying each other. In the current dynasty, the consequences of cheating in the imperial examination were very serious.
There are three common methods of cheating: bribing the examiner, including scriptures, and asking someone to take the exam for you. The rich and powerful can bribe the examiner, and those who have no money can bring private goods and materials into the examination room. As for hiring someone to take the exam,
It is also very easy to achieve in this dynasty.
After all, it is not like later generations who have identity documents, fingerprints, and face recognition. Since the Tang Dynasty, the trend of finding people to take exams on their behalf has become more and more intense.
This dynasty has corresponding measures and punishments for all kinds of cheating. The most serious ones are being banned from the imperial examination forever or even being imprisoned.
Qin Feng himself also studied hard. Although the conditions were much better than now, the days of chewing books under the quilt with a flashlight still seemed like yesterday. He shook his head and said: "The exam is not easy, just get in."
The Examination Yuan will no longer charge fees."
However, they are allowed to place luggage that they do not need to bring in the house. Except for important belongings, they can keep it for free. The bed will be reserved and they can come back to check in after they come out.
Xiao Lingyao saw the emotion on his face and secretly thought that the consort was also soft-hearted.
Qin Feng saw that he was interested in investing in real estate, and along the way he analyzed with him the future of houses in various locations, such as housing in school districts in later generations and college housing today. Some people who value education for their children like to buy houses near the academy.
In ancient times, Mencius' mother moved three times. In a dynasty that valued imperial examinations, being close to the academy meant being close to the preaching masters. These houses were naturally convenient for sale. There were also houses close to the business district, that is, houses facing the streets and shops. Such houses were conducive to life.
It's easy to take action.
Qin Feng relied on his experience in real estate investment in later generations to hoard houses in Sui City, and now he taught Xiao Lingyao all about it without reservation.
In Nuo Da's carriage, the two of them were like a master and apprentice, except that the master was a handsome prince-in-law, and the apprentice was the beautiful princess.
Xiao Lingyao had an excellent ability to digest this new knowledge. She had to sigh with emotion that although Qin Feng had not taken the literary test, he indeed had a talent for business. After seeing Qin Feng's houses, he had to admire him even more.
Some of the houses he thought had potential would be bought for four or five without mercy. Now if these houses were sold, wouldn't they make a lot of money?
When he heard what Xiao Lingyao said, Qin Feng smiled: "After the scientific examination is over, I will take part."
"Why?"
Qin Feng thought to himself, "Your Highness, you are playing too much. What if these houses cannot be converted into cash one day? It is important to turn part of them into cash in advance, just in case. This is also a way to avoid risks."
Unable to tell the truth, Qin Feng said: "You can try other businesses, but you have to be committed."
He led him over in an understatement. Xiao Lingyao didn't think too much, but said, "If the consort sells part of the house, wouldn't the newly customized bunk beds be wasted?"
"If it is successfully promoted and the world accepts this kind of bed collapse, it can be disposed of as second-hand items in the future, and it will surely find a new owner." Qin Feng said: "There are many poor people nowadays, and second-hand items are cheap as long as they can continue to be used.
Someone must come in."
Xiao Lingyao looked at the face of the consort and suddenly felt a little discouraged. When it came to business, she was indeed not as good as him.
"Your Highness, does he know why I would choose a student from a poor family to do this?"
"Born into poverty, there are not many choices left. Even if they have never been exposed to this new style of things, they are still willing to give it a try. For them, it can save the cost of taking the exam, so why not."
Xiao Lingyao nodded. When people don't have many choices, they will give it a try even if they have doubts. Besides, he doesn't lie to others.
The two of them talked in the carriage, unaware of the passage of time.
Feng Bao's voice came from outside: "Your Highness, the consort, we've arrived again."
This is what Qin Feng calls "school district housing". A group of houses very close to the academy. A total of four units are used here. It's a coincidence that not far away is the residence of Cheng Wu, the grandfather of the former Crown Princess Cheng Cen.
Hengshan Academy.
It was after Qin Feng purchased the house here that he met Mr. Cheng under a pseudonym. At that time, his pseudonym was Li Ying, and he also met Cheng Cen when he was still a young girl.
