Qiuxiang, who was instructing the maids to clean up the study, immediately stood next to Li Yuanxing.
"Do you know the price of silk in Chang'an?" Li Yuanxing asked softly.
"When I return to Your Highness, I know something. The price of a piece of rainbow brocade with no color difference is about eighty-five to ninety guan per piece in Leminyuan. It is a standard hundred-foot brocade. However, some common people have few people in their families.
Shops have begun to offer 30-foot and 50-foot ones, and the prices are about the same, one foot is the same price!"
Li Yuanxing said to himself, how expensive it is!
Then he thought something was wrong, so Li Yuanxing asked again: "I remember that when I ordered from Yaozhou, a set of rainbow brocade clothes only cost more than 800 yuan. Will the store suffer at this price now?"
"Your Highness, the old loom is only four feet six inches wide, while the new loom is eight feet eight inches wide. I heard that the price of one foot has only increased in the past month. Four months ago, one was only four feet wide.
More than ten pieces of clothing, if you make one piece of women's clothing, it is impossible to make it. If you make three pieces at the same time, you only need four or five feet. But to make a big skirt, one person needs three feet."
Li Yuanxing took a look at Qiuxiang's figure and thought it was about the same. Calculated by area, twelve square feet would be enough for a short coat on the top and a skirt on the bottom.
The dresses of the Tang Dynasty did not have the 360-degree skirts of later generations.
"I am a little confused. Please help me do the math when you are free. Now that the format of silk has been widened, the sales price to foreigners must be higher. Listening to what you said, my calculation in mind is that silk
When merchants sell in Chang'an, the price should be 30% to 40% lower than the price paid to foreign merchants, but they still don't want to sell to foreign merchants, so there is no need to rush this matter, I want a result."
"Can I ask officials from the Security Department to check some details?"
"Don't make any noise, I just want to know what's going on!" Li Yuanxing has already given the order, and it is impossible to change it. So we can only find out the reason secretly.
Seeing that Qiuxiang had written down his order, Li Yuanxing said again:
"How is the progress of the renovation of the eight squares in Chang'an City? Have the things I asked them to make completed? Are there any reports on how the Gao Baiyang did it?" Li Yuanxing asked slowly.
"Your Highness, I'll go check it out!"
Seeing Li Yuanxing nod slightly, Qiuxiang trotted out.
After a while, Qiuxiang came back with a heavy bamboo document box: "Your Highness, there are progress reports for the renovation of the eight squares every ten days. According to Your Highness's instructions, the first phase has been completed and the craftsmen are in the process of renovation.
Waterways, building gardens, and planting trees. What you want, Tall White Poplar has already made and sealed it."
Qiuxiang said something, and Li Yuanxing nodded slightly.
"Your Highness, there are several things related to the reconstruction of the Eighth Square. The chambers of commerce in Dongshi City have jointly written to Jing Zhaoyin three times, requesting the reconstruction of Dongshi City. Jing Zhaoyin did not dare to make the decision, so he sent it to the government. There are also
It’s Gao Baiyang who has applied four times to allocate coins for the reconstruction of Bafang.”
Li Yuanxing frowned slightly when he heard the coins being transferred.
Qiuxiang only saw Li Yuanxing's expression and immediately said: "I immediately sent someone to reprimand Gao Baiyang. He has spent 140,000 guan of silver, but the progress is far behind. The mansion once calculated him for eight squares.
He's over budget!"
"No, this is not the reason why I frown. You go to Chang'an Newspaper Office in person and say that I want to publish an advertisement and ask Chang'an Newspaper Office to collect money according to the standard. But if I want a very good position, just say that Bafang New
The renovated Changxin Garden, Chunxiao Garden, and Changfeng Garden will start to be sold to the outside world tomorrow. Let Gao Baiyang make arrangements for the exchange of the original house and the purchase of the house with money. Tell him that I will go there in person tomorrow."
Qiuxiang wrote down Li Yuanxing's words one by one.
"Ask Gao Baiyang to place what I asked you to make in the middle of the main hall. Surround it with wooden railings next to it, and deploy three hundred sergeants to maintain order. Go ahead!"
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Seeing Qiuxiang coming out, Li Yuanxing had an idea in his mind.
I initially forcibly suppressed shipments to the Western Regions. In fact, when I re-shipped, the price of silk really increased by at least five times. It’s hard to say whether these guys had this idea of suppressing the goods so that there would be no goods in the Western Regions.
.When we talk again, we will have to increase the price significantly.
If that's the case, it doesn't matter.
Businessmen are a group of people who dare to take risks if they get ten times the profit, risk beheading if they get a hundred times the profit, and rebel if they get a thousand times the profit.
Li Yuanxing didn't know that in fact, the leader of the Jin Silk Chamber of Commerce, Li Hui, was trembling at home. He could lie to others, but he was deceiving the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty. The risk was greater than the risk of a hundredfold profit. But if he didn't do this,
There would be no way for him to become the first joint head of several major brocade silk merchant associations.
At least he hasn't figured out how to make amends yet.
The next day, Li Yuanxing went out before dawn. There is still a curfew in Chang'an, but it is a conditional curfew. It is much looser than before. People who go out only need to carry a special ID card from Jing Zhaoyin.
, if it proves that you are from Chang'an, you can be appropriately relaxed.
Businessman Gao Baiyang can be said to be the exclusive businessman of Li Yuanxing Qinwangzhuang.
Seeing Li Yuanxing's arrival, Gao Baiyang stood respectfully at the door and waited.
"Your Highness, I am bold. At present, less than 20% of the eight buildings have been renovated. Chunxiao Garden has only been completed less than half. Only 30% of the houses are habitable, and there is nothing in the house. Changxin Garden has only been completed.
Construction has just started, and my subordinates think it’s not good to start sales at this time!”
Li Yuanxing just shook his head gently, thinking that the people of the Tang Dynasty really existed.
"Everything will be according to my arrangements today. You should study hard."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
When Li Yuanxing got to this point, Gao Baiyang definitely didn't dare to say another word.
Newspapers began to be distributed around six o'clock in the morning and would not appear throughout Chang'an until seven o'clock. After the people saw the newspapers, it would be ten o'clock before they came here again. Therefore, Li Yuanxing ordered that the gates should not be opened until ten o'clock.
During this period, Li Yuanxing summoned Gao Baiyang and his men for a meeting.
Although Gao Baiyang and his men could not understand Li Yuanxing's intentions, they would strictly implement Li Yuanxing's opinions.
At ten o'clock sharp, there were thousands of people standing outside the gate of Chunxiao Garden, and there were hundreds of carriages behind them, full of coins. In addition to the aborigines here, many people and businessmen had already been staring at Chunxiao Garden.
.
Li Yuanxing walked to the door in person.
"People of Chang'an, I hope to have a very beautiful, very clean, and very gorgeous Chang'an city. So I have bulldozed eight buildings and prepared to build three gardens. However, things have to be done step by step. Let's talk about it first.
When it comes to money, you need to use coins to buy a house and land, but there are loads and loads of coins, which is extremely inconvenient here!"
Li Yuanxing spoke in person, who dared to interrupt?
"Chang'an, there is a bank. You can put the money in the bank, or you can call the bank number if you like. The bank will issue a voucher for how many coins it receives. This voucher is specially made by the bank.
To purchase real estate in Chunxiaoyuan, you only need to come with the certificate, and there is no need to bring money by car."
"Follow the Emperor's order!"
At this moment, some businessmen arranged for their families to queue up at the bank to exchange their vouchers.
This is the first step in Li Yuanxing Bank's plan, the check.
However, there is no Internet in Datang, so the initial check is in duplicate, so it needs to be verified again.
"The second thing is to choose a house. The Tang Dynasty treated the world with courtesy. Although businessmen also had their own grades, and some people privately bought big houses in remote places, this is Chang'an. There are rules set by the Ministry of Rites on the wall over there.
People choose houses based on class!”
"When I understand, I won't dare to overstep it!"
With Li Yuanxing's status here, no one dares to be impatient or make a noise.
Li Yuanxing smiled and continued: "One more thing about the house. It is completely empty. You can decorate the house according to your own preferences. In Chunxiao Garden, as for the ground, you can use wooden boards to make couches or cement to make a flat floor. Of course
There are two more items that I have specially approved." After Li Yuanxing said that, he stretched out his hand.
Marble, and tiles.
The tiles are not very special, but the ability to use marble made many wealthy Tang businessmen almost scream.
Think about the snow-stepping tower, the white cloud patterns, and the marble floor as smooth as a mirror, how many people are yearning for it.
"Okay, everyone can choose according to the etiquette. If you can't buy it, you can buy the unbuilt house in advance and pay the deposit. After the construction is completed, you can pay the remaining coins. And I have given an order to the bank to allow it.
Borrow money to buy a house." After Li Yuanxing said this, he clapped his hands gently.
A middle-aged shopkeeper came out from the side and gave Li Yuanxing a gift.
"Everyone, I am the third shopkeeper of Qin Xiaoyuan branch of Datang Bank. Anyone with a clean financial background and regular income at home can borrow money to buy a house. For example, if a house costs 300 guan, you only need to pay 100 guan.
, the remaining 200 can be repaid within ten or twenty years. The qualifications for borrowing will be reviewed by a dedicated person, and the interest will range from 10% to 50% per year. If there is a military veteran in the family, the interest will be reduced by 10%.
point!"
If you make a profit every year, the interest rate in Datang would be pitifully low.
When Li Yuanxing saw that the people were stunned, he returned to the house with a smile on his face.
When Li Yuanxing entered the door, a voice came from behind him: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is so kind!"
Li Yuanxing turned around, waved his hand, and quickly entered the house. Then he picked up the price list of various houses and entered the small side room.
Open the price list in your hand!
One foot ranges from forty to five hundred cents.
This price naturally has a calculation standard. Li Yuanxing set the standard, but he didn't see the corresponding house. So I picked up the price list and planned to take another look. It won't be until tomorrow that the real transaction starts, and now there are still
Opportunity to revise. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
