After the scolding, the ministers began to calm down and think about these things. Who let his family still stand on the street? It seemed that Ji Jie was determined to kill them.
You shouldn't take your whole family to sleep on the street just to avoid being stabbed. Officials want to save face. Even ordinary people have a place to live. How can they bear to sleep on the street!
Spend money to buy a house, but where can you buy it?
While everyone was whispering, a young man wearing ordinary official clothes said loudly: "My lords, I am the supervisor in charge of residential buildings in Zhaocheng. If you want to buy a house and land in the city, please go through the procedures with me!"
Although Dazhou has been poor for many years, it is still not as poor as an official. Even if the fiefdom is limited, the annual income is much better than that of the common people.
"Then let's go!"
When we arrived at the residential management supervisor, the supervisor took out the price list he had just made last night and said with a smile: "My lords, please take a look. These are the house prices and land prices of several relatively good locations in the city. Each first-class room is thirty taels."
Gold, the courtyard, and the concierge will be given for free; each second-class room will receive twenty taels of gold, and the fence and gate will be given for free; each third-class room will receive ten taels of gold, and horse posts and fences will be given for free..."
The land price is even more ridiculously high, at five taels of gold per square foot. No matter how poor a small courtyard is, it must be dozens of square feet, more than a hundred taels of gold!
The ministers were dumbfounded. The house prices in the royal city were less than one-tenth of those here, and most of them had mansions given by the emperor without spending a penny at all!
"Isn't this a joke?" A minister said with his eyes widened: "The cheapest third-class apartment in a small courtyard costs three hundred taels of gold?"
"It's worth it. Think about it, we gave away the horse hitch and the stable for nothing!" The supervisor said gushingly: "There is also a luxurious stone manger for both water and food, plus a natural log fence gate.
Plus a fence made of branches..."
The so-called third-class houses are actually the most common residential houses. Several houses are built on a small courtyard measuring six feet by six feet, plus a kitchen, a warehouse, and a livestock shed.
The price of such a courtyard before last night was five taels of silver, which is half a tael of gold.
It doubled 600 times overnight!
The second-class and third-class houses are even more ridiculously expensive, with prices of 500 taels and 1,000 taels of gold respectively. The legendary second-class houses can barely be considered as well-off homes, while the first-class houses are mostly the residences of ordinary businessmen.
Isn't it a joke to spend a thousand taels of gold to live in the same house as an ordinary businessman who earns a few taels of silver a month?
I'm not joking at all. If you are willing to buy, please come early, and there is not a penny discount. To be honest, the number of houses in this batch is not large, and there must be someone among these people here who sleeps on the street.
Ji Jie never thought that when he came to the Warring States Period more than 2,000 years ago, he would have the opportunity to become a real estate developer, specializing in killing large households!
If these people don't buy it, Ji Jie has nothing to do. He can't really let them sleep on the street! But there are always those who are willing to be slaughtered. Ji Liang, the servant, was the first to eat the crab and asked his family to carry it over for a bite.
The big wooden box said "very proudly": "Give me a first-class room!"
The procedures were quickly completed, and Ji Liang moved into the "mansion" amidst the disdainful eyes of everyone.
Then a few wealthy people bought a few more units. In the afternoon, the supervisor announced a message: "In view of the shortage of land resources in Zhaocheng, we have decided to increase the price. You are all wise ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty and have made a contribution to the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Thank you for your great contribution. Zhao Wenjun personally ordered that the price increase this time will only increase by 30%. Please hurry up and buy if you are interested, as it will be doubled tomorrow!"
In Wuyang Wuyang, hundreds of apartments were sold out within half an hour. Those who didn't get one were crying. At this time, someone came over and told them that they could get a few other apartments through connections, but the price would be more expensive. Would you like to
Want it?
Add another 30%!
Yes! Gritting his teeth with red eyes, he took out all the money he had saved for decades and finally had a place to live.
Looking at the gold ingots piled up like a hill in front of him, Ji Jie smiled like a little fox. Sima Xueran said in a disdainful tone: "That's it, all the people's fat and people's anointing that Dazhou has searched up and down are in your hands.
I guess those ministers will regret it to death!"
It’s none of my business! Go ahead and regret it, I don’t regret selling the medicine anyway!
Before selling the house, Ji Jie ordered the city gates to be closed tightly, and no one was allowed to enter or exit. People who had real estate in their names were not allowed to trade privately, the inn was not allowed to rent rooms to them, and no one was allowed to take in these officials!
Seeing that there was really nothing they could do, these people had no choice but to be slaughtered.
The supervisor took the account book and read: "A total of 237 properties were sold, and a total of 118,500 taels of gold were collected!"
The cost of these houses is no more than fifty taels of gold, and the profit is a full 2,370 times. No wonder there are so many developers in modern society, making huge profits!
"Aren't you afraid that these veterans will spread the word and ruin your reputation?" Sima Xueran said with some worry.
Ji Jie doesn't care. Justice is in the heart of the people. It is really good for the people to think of you well. The occupation of the royal city means that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed. What influence can the ministers of the subjugated country have?
Ji Xueling walked in with red eyes, took Ji Jie's hand and said, "Brother Jie, what should I do for my father's funeral? The prince brother said it in a hurry and didn't bring much money..."
Isn't this a fire in the backyard?
Ji Jia and Ji Zhang must have taken advantage of the simple Ji Xueling. She told her sister in tears that she had no money and could not give her dead father a grand burial, and asked her to ask Ji Jie for help.
He just made tens of thousands taels of gold from selling land a few months ago, how could he have no money?
Ji Xueling foolishly fell into the trap, and tears flowed down her face again.
No matter what, she had already spoken out her words. Ji Jie could no longer use the tactics used against Ji Jia. He looked at Sima Xueran helplessly, hoping that she would give her an idea or help with a few words.
ah.
Sima Xueran acted as if the matter had nothing to do with her, and moved her eyes to the beams on the roof in a shameless manner.
Ji Jie thought to himself, you are a dead girl, you don’t help me at critical times, let’s see how I deal with you in the future!
"Ling'er, don't cry!" Ji Jie gently wiped away her tears and said with a smile: "Let's see, I just made a fortune, and the change will be used for the emperor's funeral!"
The supervisor hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The change is a total of eight thousand five hundred taels of gold!"
"Thank you...Brother Jie!" Ji Xueling was about to burst into tears.
Ji Jie almost hugged the supervisor and took a bite of this kid. He is too good at handling things. The fraction I mentioned was 18,500 taels of gold. You just opened your mouth and deducted 10,000 taels. Not bad, not bad. From now on
