Chapter 1250 Where does the money come from?
As Fang Jun was reinstated as a prison officer and personally rushed to Zhongnan Mountain to single-handedly rescue Princess Changle from the murderer, the uproar in Jingzhao Mansion finally calmed down. With strong men like Fang Jun in charge, who would dare to cause trouble?
However, although the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion has calmed down, the entire Jingzhao Mansion seems to have exploded...
In the early morning of the next day after Fang Jun returned home, Jingzhao Mansion issued a notice to all merchants in Dongshi City - "Notice to All Dongshi Merchants"!
The name is weird enough, and the content is even more jaw-dropping...
The notice stated that in order to respond to the call of His Majesty the Emperor, for the prosperity of the Tang Empire, and to transform Chang'an City into a peerless majestic city that will dominate the world in the next three hundred years, Jingzhao Mansion will first conduct a thorough transformation of the East City. Renovation.
It is expected that the investment will reach 20,000 yuan and will be completed within five years. By then, the East Market will have no less than 7,000 shops and a total of more than 50,000 houses, and the annual transaction volume will reach 50 million yuan. It will gather merchants and Chinese and foreign merchants from all over the world and become the brightest pearl of Chang'an... …
At the same time, Jingzhao Mansion will evaluate each store and warehouse based on market price, give a reasonable purchase price, and purchase all of them. All merchants in Dongshi City are ordered to transfer all houses and shops to Jingzhao Mansion at this price before the first day of May. Those who fail to sign the transfer agreement after the deadline will bear some losses caused by the delay in construction...
……
This notice spread throughout the Jingzhao Mansion at lightning speed, causing an uproar in both the military and political circles, as well as the poor families of the gentry.
Even those aristocratic families who had already known about Jingzhao Mansion’s actions were dumbfounded...
Twenty million dollars!
Oh my god, how much does that cost?
Not to mention that ordinary people from poor families can count how many copper coins they have in their homes. They are shocked when they hear such numbers. Even those rich and wealthy families, in such a country that is almost as numerous as the sand of the Ganges River, Still at a loss in front of ordinary numbers...
Where did Jingzhao Mansion get so much money?
In other words, where did Fang Jun get so much money?
Everyone knows Fang Jun's nickname "God of Wealth". Everyone knows that Fang Jun is rich, but 20 million yuan...
Is there anyone in the world who can get it?
Everyone was shocked by this astronomical figure, but they ignored other contents in the notice.
Will Chang'an be built into a majestic city unparalleled in the world?
This can be done.
Which Chang'an citizen doesn't want to live in such a city? Even though Chang'an is already the most majestic city in the world, who cares about being more majestic?
The annual transaction volume reaches 50 million yuan, bringing together merchants, Chinese and foreign merchants from all over the world?
This is also possible.
The more transactions, the more merchants, and the more goods everywhere in the world, it means more opportunities and more profits. Both ordinary people and aristocratic families are happy to see this happen. The bigger the cake, the more people can The more you put into your mouth, all fools understand this.
As for acquiring all the houses and shops at market prices, this is still possible.
If Jingzhao Mansion relied on the emperor's name to requisition all the buildings, it could be considered bullying, but purchasing them at market price can only be said to be Fang Jun's particularity in doing things. There is no doubt that the renovation plan of the East City is the most ambitious plan in Chang'an City in the past few years or even for a long time in the future. To make mischief on such a closely related and far-reaching project would be unreasonable for anyone with a little political sense. No one would do it...
This can be regarded as relieving the family's worries. At least they will not suffer too huge losses due to the renovation of Dongshi, and it eliminates the resistance of the family to the greatest extent.
The east and west cities have been in disrepair for a long time, and situations like this occur every year. Countless property losses occur, and casualties occur one after another. The ashes in the east city have not been completely cleared yet. How can we not renovate and re-plan it?
Of course, it must be renovated, but since Fang Jun is in charge of this super grand project... the family members must fill in the gaps for Fang Jun.
*****
Lishan is now equivalent to the Royal Garden. His Majesty Li Er built many palaces here, and the royal family members also allocated land nearby to build houses as a summer escape. All dignitaries with some status would like to be close to the emperor, but Jingzhao Mansion is in charge of all the land in Lishan, how could they miss such a good opportunity to make money?
As a result, every inch of land in Lishan, even the farmland at the foot of the mountain, is at a premium, with a price but no market...
Lishan Fangjia Farm.
Li Xiaogong was wearing a brocade robe, sitting crookedly on a bamboo chair, looking at the blooming flowers in the greenhouse, and sighed: "When it comes to enjoyment, if your second roommate is second, who would dare to consider himself first?"
Next to him, the handsome Wu King Li Ke, who had sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, was admiring a pile of emerald green bamboo. He was holding a teacup from a purple clay pot in his hand. Hearing this, he echoed: "The words of the emperor's uncle are very touching to my heart. Common people have a lot of wisdom." Family wealth, think of it as delicacies , a lovely wife and a beautiful concubine; the scholar is elegant, and pays attention to the style of eating with bells, tripods, hairpins, and tassels; but Fang Er shows luxury in a low-key manner. It seems ordinary, but in fact, everything is full of interest. This is the real wealth. .”
Li Ke's words were definitely made with emotion.
Everyone knows that Fang Jun is rich, even Fang Jun himself doesn't know how much money he has. You have so much money that you can’t even count it, so how should you spend it? I'm afraid all the rich people in the world have to learn from Fang Jun...
Four-wheel carriage, fine tea, glass greenhouse...
Seems pretty ordinary, right?
But when other rich people play, they are on a different level than Fang Jun!
Without him, all these were figured out by Fang Jun himself, and he spent countless money on the design and manufacturing process. Enjoying the most novel things in the world, you can also lead the trend, making everyone in the world flock to it...
People spend countless amounts of money, and all they produce are elegant things. If others want to imitate, they have to obediently give money to Fang Jun...
It's all just for fun, and Fang Jun's fun is high-end!
Fang Jun was wearing a navy blue straight tie. His whole body was clean and tidy. He smiled and waved his hands and said, "Is it possible that His Highness wants to flatter you?"
Li Ke raised his eyebrows and asked: "Are you afraid of being praised? Others may be afraid, but you are probably enjoying it. The more you praise, the happier you will be."
Li Xiaogong laughed and said: "If you are thick-skinned, you can eat as much as you want, so sometimes Bangchui is very comfortable. Unlike us, who just want to save face, we often have to endure the consequences and suffer the losses."
Fang Jun glared and said: "Isn't it true that the county prince scolded someone for being shameless?"
Li Xiaogong laughed so hard that he gasped: "You said this yourself, I didn't say it..."
Fang Jun shook his head helplessly...
After chatting and laughing for a while, Li Ke put down his teacup, looked at Fang Jun and asked: "I invite you and your uncle to come here today, isn't it just to enjoy the flowers and bamboos and show off your hot house that looks like spring all year round?"
Fang Jun said: "Of course not. Even if you want to show off, you don't dare to show off in front of you two?"
"Don't talk about those useless things." Li Xiaogong waved his hand and changed into a comfortable position on the bamboo chair, but his image was completely gone: "Tell me how you plan to get these two million copper coins. Darling, this But 20 million yuan, how dare you say that! We don’t know if the entire Tang Dynasty can have so much money.”
Li Xiaogong was indeed frightened by Fang Jun.
Fang Jun had previously pulled Li Xiaogong and Li Ke onto his chariot, and these two people were also involved in the entire reconstruction plan of the east and west cities. Li Xiaogong has always admired Fang Jun's way of making money. Nowadays, Jiangnan Shipyard launches countless cargo ships and warships every day. It is a bit shabby to describe it as a daily income...
But when Fang Jun threw out the number of "twenty million yuan", the Hejian prince often woke up even while sleeping.
Could this stick be trying to get me to sell off my property and use the money to invest in shares?
Li Ke was also a little nervous.
He was not afraid that Fang Jun would trick him, nor was he afraid that Fang Jun would ask him to sell his property. It was because even if he sold his property, he would have nothing to sell...
As a prince of the Tang Dynasty, with the bloodline of the previous dynasty, this is an extremely embarrassing status.
The slightest carelessness will lead to criticism, and even worse, it will even arouse the suspicion and resentment of his father... Therefore, Li Ke will never interact with the former Sui officials in the court, and there is no economic relationship between them. There are no benefits.
This resulted in his main source of income being his salary and the output of his job fields and fiefdoms. For a prince, how can he spend this little money?
He was afraid that if Fang Jun said now: You have no money, I won't take you to play... If so, where can he put this face of Li Ke?
