Chapter 241 About the development plan of the new city
The matter is very simple, but how to deal with it is very troublesome. The clothes of those who speak Frank are actually either rich or expensive.
In order to avoid trouble, or to be retaliated against, the tavern owner rolled his eyes a few times and simply kicked out Giannis and Nyssa.
Before going out, Giannis was still angry, but when the cold wind blew, the alcohol began to dissipate.
Then he squatted on the road next to the tavern, wrapped in thin clothes and watched the people coming and going at the pier.
Garris felt that if cigarettes were available now, Giannis would have smoked an entire cigarette in one breath and coughed.
“You see, like I told you, women are the source of trouble!”
Giannis turned to Garris and said, as a regular guest of that tavern and hotel, he Enjoying the most favorable discount, although I didn't lose any money, I guess in a short time, I won't be able to find a cheap place to sleep that has a bed.
To this question, Garris nodded and agreed.
As for Nyssa on the side, she felt very sorry. She also squatted on the ground, leaning her head against Giannis, holding Giannis' right hand with both hands, and her red face was particularly pitiful.
There is a saying that Garris feels that Giannis is somewhat advantageous and behaves well.
After all, Nissa is actually good-looking. She has flaxen hair, gray-black pupils and fair skin.
Unlike the other waitresses in the tavern, Nissa’s eyes were as agile as a deer’s, but also slightly timid.
She is a beauty. If she dresses up well, she will look pretty.
After thinking for a while, Garris asked: "How much savings do you two have together now?"
"Why are you asking this?"
Giannis was a little confused.
“Something is going to happen to the current living environment within the city walls of Tire. Soon, the construction plan of the new city will begin.”
“In order to fill the construction funds of the new city, The Kingdom will issue a portion of land bonds, which are issued with land in the new urban area as collateral. "
"In addition to interest, these bonds will provide the holders with something more. benefits.”
"Uh...speak slowly, I'm a little dizzy...Um, I'm not sober yet."
Giannis shook his head violently. He subconsciously felt that Garris was saying something very important. thing.
So, Garris slowly explained what bonds were, what these bonds were for, and what benefits they would bring to the holders.
This era is too early and it is indeed very troublesome.
Historically, it was not until the 14th century that early forms of public debt appeared in Italy. For example, Venice issued national debt in order to raise funds for war.
It's only the end of the 12th century, and bonds are indeed new.
But fortunately, although Giannis is illiterate, his brain is still flexible. After hanging around on the dock for so long, he finally figured out what Garris was talking about.
“In other words, the Kingdom is looking for someone to borrow money to build a new city, and those who borrow money from the Kingdom, in addition to getting interest, will get more discounts when purchasing real estate in the new city?”
“At the same time, the funds to repay debts also come from the sale of real estate?”
“Correct.”
Giannis has to admit that he is a little tempted. With the land price in the old city of Tire, it is impossible for him to build a house of his own, but if a new city appears...
Giannis watched it Glancing at Nesa next to him, he knew that he couldn't buy much with his own words alone, and the other person should have some savings.
“But, given the current situation, will the kingdom really not be destroyed directly?”
After all, even the holy city of Jerusalem has actually been captured.
Given the current situation in this kingdom, the city of Tire is the front line of the Crusade, and the risk of these bonds being wasted can be imagined. "Yes, so the interest rate of the first batch of bonds is actually relatively high. It may be 18 points in one year. But when the situation improves and becomes clear, the interest rates of subsequent bonds will not be that high."
The interest rate of 18% will be considered an exaggeration in future generations.
But in the year 1188, it was just like that.
And at this juncture, those who are willing to spend money to buy bonds and build new cities are supporting the kingdom at the risk of losing everything.
Even if you are not a die-hard member of the Second Kingdom originally, you must be a member of the same boat after buying the bond.
Since we are all in the same boat, how can we not give preferential treatment?
After all, the icing on the cake is nothing compared to providing help when it is timely.
If those who buy bonds do not want their bonds to become useless paper, they must also support the kingdom more.
This has nothing to do with belief or nationality, but a binding of interests.
On issues of naked economic interests, people’s true position is actually more easily exposed.
"By the way, don't you doubt the authenticity of my words?"
"People who can afford alcoholic molasses (rum) are not ordinary people."
With Gai During the days they spent together with Reese, Giannis had repeatedly confirmed that Garris was not an ordinary person, but today's rum meal made him realize that Garris was really rich.
You know, that bottle of wine will cost at least 8 silver dirhams!
As a smart person, he has never pointed out the flaws in Garris, but it also made him particularly interested in Garris.
Two young men, Giannis and Nyssa, totaled their savings. Together, they saved roughly 6 gold dinars.
This small handful of coins is their entire net worth.
Among them, Nissa has the most savings.
If this money is used to buy the first batch of bonds in history, it means that the annual income can be about 1 gold dinar.
Gairis returned to his residence with his new friends and found a room for the homeless two people to settle down first.
Regarding the development of new urban areas, during the investigation process, there were actually some sketches.
Now, it is indeed necessary to put it on the agenda and make preparations.
In that new city, all state-owned workshops will be moved in and production will be expanded. Hospitals, schools, police stations, and fire stations will also be built.
There, there will be modern urban planning in the true sense, paving the way for systematic and large-scale production.
If the old city of Tire is an abyss that swallows people, then the new city of Tire will be a part of the new heaven and new earth.
Instead of having a hard and long struggle with the city's guild forces and the old aristocratic system in the old city, it would be better to start anew.
When the new production model is successfully implemented, the prices in the Tiel City market will no longer be determined by the guild forces.
As for Saladin's threat, Garris didn't take it to heart.
To be precise, anyone who has witnessed the power of Garris and joined the cult system.
They all have visions for the future that others cannot imagine.
They firmly believe that everything Gallis said will be implemented.
Second update, there will be another update before 12 o'clock
