Chapter 133 Shanty Town
After the merchant told the news, he went to sell the goods at low prices without stopping, and at the same time, he sold off his property in Kyoto.
No matter how expensive this house is, it will be worthless if there is a war. Especially the barbarians in the north act arrogantly. They always grab and run away.
When the time comes to light a fire against Kyoto, all my life's hard work will be in vain!
There are many people who have the same idea as him.
For a time, merchants from all over the country sold their properties one after another.
Why did the barbarians from the north invade the Zhou Dynasty?
Why did the northern barbarians break through the defensive line, and Yongchang Hou returned in defeat.
Everyone is selling their houses and preparing to flee south, and His Majesty is also preparing to go.
For a time, driven by thoughtful people, the people of Kyoto were panic-stricken. Those who had houses and qualified conditions sold their houses at low prices, preparing to move to their relatives and friends who had fled to Jiangnan.
If you don't have the conditions, you can only live frugally, plan to exchange the copper coins for silver or gold, and prepare to wear them on the belt of your pants, or put them in the soles of your shoes, so that you can escape at any time in case of war.
Amongst other places, Baichuan Academy, Baiwei Hotel and Yongchang Houfu are unique. They are open for business and go to and from school normally, as if the rumors are false.
Due to the influence of rumors, the housing prices in Kyoto plummeted.
Some unreasonable people gathered directly to make trouble at the gate of Yongchang Hou Mansion.
“You should give us an explanation. It is you who said that house prices are rising. Now that house prices are so low, you should be responsible for us!”
"That's right, why don't you take our house?! Anyway, Mrs. Hou has bought so many houses, and there are two of us."
"If you don't take our house today, I just hit my head and died here!”
“God, don’t give us poor people a way to survive!”
The crowd was crying, including gray-haired old people and pregnant women. pregnant women, their clothes are neat but old. Doesn't look very wealthy.
More and more people gathered in front of the gate of Yongchang Hou Mansion, some came to watch the excitement, and some came to take the opportunity to get a share of the pie.
The evil of human nature is vividly displayed at this moment.
In a three-story building in Kyoto, there are a few men in fluttering clothes. They sit on the third floor with a wide view and drink tea. They look in the direction of Yongchang Houfu and keep sarcastic. .
"As expected of you, with a little trick, everything that Gu Nanxi worked hard for came to naught."
"Yes, Gu Nanxi just relied on her good reputation. What? But she doesn’t know that people’s hearts are changeable. We only need to use a fan like this. She will fall from the sky into the mud."
"Not only that, but the Lord first asked Gu Nanxi to spend a lot of money on the house. At this time, it would be fine if she just calmed down. There is also a book called "The Story of a Lonely City", who is this to mock?"
"She wants to die, but we can't stop her. So we can take advantage of the "Tales of the Lonely City" and spread rumors that Kyoto will be conquered, thereby causing the housing prices in Kyoto to plummet."
"At this time, let's encourage these people to go to Gu Nanxi to sell their houses, haha, I Look where Gu Nanxi still has that money!”
“Gu Nanxi won’t get away with stealing this time, so that she can know that there are no smart people in this world!” Peace of mind in the back house!”
The men were proud of their plan. , it’s just Gu Nanxi, with such a high posture, do you really think there is no one left in the Zhou Dynasty?
After the wine parade, someone looked drunk and squinted and asked, "There are rumors that Marquis Yongchang is returning to Kyoto, but is it true?"
His companion nodded his head up and down, with two red clouds hanging on his cheeks: "It's not like you don't know the temper of the people in Kyoto. If you said it was going to rain in the sky today, it would be reported to you in the blink of an eye. Kyoto will be flooded by rain. Do you believe what they are doing?" At this time, someone suddenly woke up from his sleep and asked, "Gu Nanxi is a bit lucky. The prices of the houses sold by these people will not increase, right?"
< br>
Other body The man next to him, who was thin but covered with gold and silver jewelry, patted him on the shoulder and said with great wealth: "That is absolutely impossible! These people all live in shantytowns. There is no way to farm in that place." What comes. Ordinary. People are so excited to go there. "
In the Yongchang Hou Mansion, Lu Mei finally waited until Gu Nanxi woke up, and looked at Li Man while dressing Gu Nanxi. It is the color of anxiety.
“Master, I don’t know who incited many people to gather in front of our house to cause trouble!”
"What's going on?" Gu Nanxi's eyes were bleary, and her mind was still in a state of confusion.
Lvmei’s little mouth pouted and she told the whole story.
"Those people are all shanty town residents in the southwest corner of Kyoto. They were instructed by others to ask us to buy their land and houses."
"The southwest corner?" Gu Nanxi still said I haven't really been to that place.
Lu Mei introduced: "That area used to be a mass grave during the war in the previous dynasty. Very few people in Kyoto are willing to build houses there. Only those who really have no recruitment will do so. Build a small hut there.”
"Later, more and more people gathered in that area, and it gradually turned into a shantytown. The house fell down when the wind blew. How did they have the nerve to ask us to buy a house?"
Hearing this, Gu Nanxi Two big words came to mind, demolition!
This Kyoto is becoming more and more prosperous, and the population is gathering in Kyoto. The population density is not much different from the capitals of later generations.
"Their lions opened their mouths?" Gu Nanxi asked suspiciously.
“The price is even lower than the market price, but the place is given away for free and no one wants to live there. So what’s the point of the price being lower?” Lu Mei curled her lips disdainfully, just that place , who will buy it?
"How much is the total? How much area?" Gu Nanxi intuitively felt that the beautiful days of becoming a rent collector were beckoning to her!
This money is always unspent.
Although she owns a farm, she cannot bear to charge too high taxes to those tenant farmers.
If there is a disaster year, not only the rent must be waived, but also subsidies must be given to them to prevent them from starving to death every day.
So just relying on the output of the farmland, apart from providing the house with more fresh, green and pollution-free vegetables and fruits, we really can’t make much money.
In the Zhou Dynasty where business was so prosperous, one had to do business or be a rent collector. This was the way to make money!
I couldn't stand the hard work of running a business, so I could only invest my capital and become a rent collector.
Lu Mei tilted her head and thought for a while: "I guess it's only a hundred acres. It's only a hundred acres, and you dare to ask for 20,000 yuan!"
Hearing this, Gu Nanxi , jumped up suddenly. In the Song Dynasty, one acre of official land cost 200 to 300 guan, and one hundred acres of cultivated land cost 20,000 to 30,000 guan.
This group of people sold their houses to Gu Nanxi for the price of farmland.
In the eyes of others, this is wishful thinking, but in Gu Nanxi's eyes, this is a huge advantage!
What I value is not their shabby thatched hut, but what celebrities value is their land!
Windfalls from heaven should not be wasted.
“Buy it!” Gu Nanxi waved her hand.
Thank you for your support.
The weather has been so hot recently, hot and rainy...
