Ming Dynasty: Huddle in Beiping and be the magistrate of the county Chapter 180 Make a lot of moneyLatest website:Another half an hour has passed.
There were more and more gentry and housekeepers coming around with money. Even the gentry who wanted to enter the sales shop with their money queued directly from the sales shop to the outside. There was a long queue.
.
Suddenly, there was a commotion from inside the sales shop.
Soon, several gentry walked out of it with anxious faces.
Then, he rushed to some gentry who had not left yet, and their faces were full of hospitality.
"Mr. Zheng, I heard that you were the first to buy, and you also bought three houses at once. I would like to increase the price by one hundred taels of silver to buy the last one."
"Huh?"
That Mr. Zheng's eyes were full of suspicion.
At this time, a clerk was already standing at the door of the sales shop, holding an iron trumpet in his hand and shouting loudly: "All the houses have been sold out, there is no need to queue up."
"What, how come three hundred houses are sold so quickly?"
"Yes, when did so many wealthy families appear in our Beiping mansion?"
"..."
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the entire crowd, and most of the people looked remorseful, as if they were mourning for their heirs.
Regardless, a group of gentry and wealthy businessmen soon reacted. A crowd of people moved to the side and surrounded the group of gentry and businessmen holding the house deeds.
"Mr. Wu, you have three houses. How about we increase the price by one hundred taels and buy one?"
"Mr. Wu, let's increase the price by two hundred taels!"
"I'll increase the price by three hundred taels..."
"Uncle Li, your second son proposed to marry my daughter, and I agreed, but this house..."
"Mr. Zhao, our family is related by marriage. I will increase the price by two hundred taels..."
"Exceptor Qian..."
The entire sales shop suddenly became noisy.
For a small three-room house, these gentry and wealthy businessmen, who are usually well-known in Beiping Mansion, have completely shown their most philistine side.
Zhu Gaochi was stunned.
On the other hand, Zhu Di's eyes were shining brightly and his whole body was trembling with excitement.
Three hundred... Two hundred and ninety houses, each with three hundred taels, is nearly ninety thousand taels of silver.
Just by building so many houses, Prince Yan's Mansion directly earned more than 80,000 taels of silver? When did Prince Yan's Mansion make money so quickly?
Isn’t this faster than robbing money?
When did the money of these gentry and wealthy businessmen become so easy to earn?
When Zhu Di was full of joy, Zhu Gaochi said with some confusion: "Dad, didn't they all want to buy it at first?"
"Huh, these are the gentry who pride themselves on being virtuous and doing good deeds."
Zhu Di smiled coldly, "No matter how noble they usually brag about themselves, now that they see the benefits, they all want to take advantage of them.
Chi'er, you have to remember that the more a gentleman brags about himself, the more he must be vigilant..."
"My child understands!"
……
Soon, all the gentry and merchants in front of the entire sales shop crowded around each other and disappeared.
"Let's go, let's take you to the academy's library."
Zhu Di said something to Zhu Gaochi beside him, and then walked inside first, regardless of whether Zhu Gaochi agreed or not.
"Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince?"
On the top floor of the library, Guo An was looking at the scene at the entrance of the sales shop below with a leisurely expression.
Unexpectedly, when he looked up, Zhu Di, who had not been out for a long time, came up with Zhu Gaochi, and he couldn't help but look surprised.
"What clever trick did Guo Qing use to make the wealthy businessmen refuse to buy for one hundred taels of silver? As a result, the price rose to three hundred taels, and the gentry and wealthy businessmen began to rush to buy it one by one."
Zhu Di asked with a smile, his eyes full of curiosity.
Guo An looked proud and said: "Your Highness, these houses are only worth this price."
Zhu Di said: "We know that building such a house only costs a dozen taels of silver at most."
Guo An quickly said: "Your Highness, it is twenty taels of silver."
"You have included all the shops and roads..."
Zhu Di retorted, and then urged: "Okay, okay, why bother with such small things.
Please tell us how you sold these small houses for three hundred taels of silver, and the gentry are all competing for rare treasures, wishing that everyone could buy more houses!"
Guo Andao: "Your Highness, this matter is the simplest. In fact, although there are dormitories in the academy for academy students to rest at night, four people are squeezed into one room.
This is extremely unaccustomed to those children of wealthy businessmen and gentry who have been pampered since childhood.
When we were building these houses, the gentry and wealthy businessmen had already begun to inquire.
It's just that they think one hundred taels of silver is too expensive..."
"However, the price of each house at that time was one hundred taels of silver, which was the lowest price that Wei Chen could sell at all considerations.
Wei Chen never expected that those gentry and wealthy businessmen were so cunning and stingy that they were reluctant to part with a hundred taels of silver... and wanted to force Wei Chen to lower the price.
Wei Chen refuses. Anyway, if these houses can't be sold, our Prince Yan's Mansion will only have to pay six thousand taels of silver at most... But don't worry, Your Highness, even if they can't be sold, Wei Chen can make Prince Yan's Mansion lose the money..."
"However, those children of the gentry and wealthy businessmen have been suffering in the accommodation in the academy all day long. Looking at the well-furnished houses outside, they cannot live in them. We don't need to persuade them, they will be anxious themselves. In addition, after the cold winter, it is even colder
……
In fact, some of them want to buy these houses, but they just want to unite to force the ministers...
Weichen then sent out a signal. If they didn’t buy it, Weichen would keep raising the price.
At the same time, invisibly, a little value was given to these houses... that is, inviting scholars to move in, and turning them into school district housing...
