Chapter 484

It's new year after Laba.

Suddenly news came from the palace that Princess Xue died suddenly.

Originally because of the coming of the new year and appears jubilant capital, like a ladle of cold water, instant cooling.

Xue Guifei's death reminds everyone of his memory a few months ago. Many people died in the palace change.

Just a Jingxi camp, almost paralyzed.

At that time, it seemed that every family had a funeral to do.

In addition, Pei Meng led the 2000 Sirius army to live in Jingxi camp. I heard that I practiced all day and never slacked off.

When they come to their senses, if the Sirius army does not leave, the palace change will not be finished.

Ouch, can you live this year?

Not a few days later, the capital is bloody again.

"No! The monarch has already been established, and it must not be disordered. Xue Guifei's death is worthy of death. "

Early in the morning, low-grade officials of the Hubu yamen gathered to chat.

"Of course, Princess Xue died well, but why did the sudden death come from the palace? Is there any other reason? "

"Who knows! Maybe your majesty didn't want the life of Xue Guifei. As a result, she died

"Cough..."

"My Lord is here."

"See your honor."

"What are you doing here? Don't rush to work."

The Secretary of the Ministry of the Ministry of public affairs has a straight face and is not angry.

There is still time to get together to gossip, it seems that there are too few errands. We have to arrange more errands for them.

The Minister of Hubu has been worried recently.

The emperor's physical condition is getting worse and worse, and he can't get out of bed.

Maybe sometime

The emperor asked the funeral to be carried out wantonly.

The money for mourning should be paid by the Hubu.

However, the Treasury of Hubu is so empty that mice can run away. Where can I find 50.6 million taels to do funeral for the emperor.

Next year's tax money has already been distributed, and there is no money left. The salary of Beijing officials is still in arrears. The new year is almost over. We have to make up for this year's salary. Let's have a less miserable year.

Money, ah, money, he is almost worried to death.

It's all the finance and taxation departments. The Shaofu next door is rich, but the Hubu is very poor.

The master knew that the Minister of Hubu was sad and gave him an idea, "my Lord, Hubu has no money, but there is a lot of silver outside the south gate. In such a large construction site, millions of taels of silver have been put into it, and only a few hundred thousand taels of silver have been put into it

Hubu Shangshu hummed, "don't worry about how much money there is outside the south gate. It's not the money of Hubu."

The master is not rotten. "Your Excellency asks to set up a county. Before the new year's Eve, you should first set up the county government office. After the new year's opening, you can collect the first money from the gate of Nancheng.

After that, a variety of taxes and fees are collected, which is not a small income. I heard that the bazaar outside the gate of Nancheng is very popular. Businessmen from all over the world go there to do business, and the daily turnover is amazing.

However, because there was no County, the land was still owned by the imperial concubine. The tax Cao had to ask her to collect her share of the tax money, the taxes on the market, and the taxes on the population of the refugees who had registered permanent residence. These are all white silver. "

Seeing the white silver floating in front of his eyes, he could not collect it. The master was very hurt and his heart was very painful.

The same heartache is the Ministry of Hubu Shangshu.

He asked his teacher, "is the market outside the South Gate really hot?"

"I don't dare to deceive you. In that market, people are crowded every day and people are rushing to buy low-cost and high-quality goods. Even in the capital, many people prefer to walk more than seven or eight miles to go shopping in the market outside the gate of Nancheng. Many businesses in the capital are complaining that their business has been robbed. "

The Minister of the Ministry of housing thought for a moment, "ask people to prepare chariots and horses. I want to go to the gate of Nancheng in person to have a look."

The master was very happy and asked people to prepare.

After getting on the carriage, the Minister of Hubu went out of the city directly from the south gate.

Out of the city gate, not far away is the shelter area where the refugees gathered.

In the past, the Minister of Hubu came here several times, but at that time they were all for the relief of the victims.

Since Gu Jiu managed the south gate, he never came.

In my memory, the shack area, which was so dirty and so disgusting that I could spit out the whole night's meal, was so clean that I couldn't believe it.

The children who run and jump in the shack area are all wearing thick cotton padded clothes and cotton shoes on their feet.

Compared with the miserable scene of countless refugees who died of cold and starvation every day, it was just a day by day.

He still remembers that when he came here last winter for inspection, there were also children running and jumping on the road.

The child was dressed in single clothes, barefoot, runny nose and dirty all over. Look at people's eyes, are full of hunger eating light, but also with the bone of hatred.

Those children have hated the government since they were young.

Just a year, the same place, the same refugee children, their faces are smiling, smiling happily brilliant.They wear thick cotton padded clothes and new cotton shoes, running and playing on the clean and tidy ground, carefree.

Children's eyes are no longer the desire for food, they have been rid of hunger, full of hope for the future.

Hubu Shangshu got out of the carriage and didn't let the carriage follow. He only took a few attendants to accompany him.

He focused on the shack area.

The shack area is half as small as I remember.

Originally full of garbage heap, has been surrounded by a wall, inside the wall is a building has been built.

"My Lord, this is the second phase of the project, which will be sold to the public, mainly for small residential houses in the capital."

The Minister of Hubu said, "have you sold the house here?"

Just as he was saying, a group of well-dressed Xiaomin came out of the gate of phase II, talking and laughing.

The Minister of the Ministry of housing directly came forward, "excuse me, who are you looking for to buy a house?"

"Are you here to buy a house, too? Unfortunately, you are late. The first batch of houses in phase II were sold out as early as half a month ago. We are here to get the key today and start moving tomorrow. New year's Eve is in the new house. "

"You, all of you, have bought the house inside?" The Minister of Hubu was a little surprised.

These people are all dressed up. But if you look at the material, the vamp, and the appearance, you can see that they are all small people in the capital. They make money every day. If you earn enough money to eat and drink, you can't afford to buy a house.

"The house here is good, strong and cheap. It's surrounded by walls. It's not far from the south gate. If you have money, you have to buy it."

"There are 11 people of three generations in my family. They are crowded in two rooms. There is no place for them to settle down. When the children get older, they have to buy a new house, or at least let them have a separate room. Otherwise, the girl will not marry her

"The house here is not cheap," he tried to ask

"It's not cheap, of course. It costs more than 100 Liang. Fortunately, you can buy a house with a loan. As long as you pay ten liang of capital silver, you can get the key and move into the new house. "

"The loan interest is so high..."

"Not high, not high." An old man interrupted the Minister of Hubu's words, "now many banks are learning from Shaofu's, and the monthly interest rate is only 1.5%. It's already cheap. But the mortgage is cheaper than this. How much is the interest released by the young government in a year? "

"Interest at three and a half per cent a year."

The Minister of Hubu and his retinue all took a breath.

The annual interest rate is only 3.5%, which is more than the price of conscience. It is simply a losing business.

Even if one hundred and twenty-one houses are borrowed for ten or eight years, the interest will be only a few tens of Liang.

It's no wonder that the people in the capital have only a few Liang silver in hand, and they dare to buy a house with money.

The old man was very happy. He was obviously glad that the crowd was shocked.

"You are all from other places. Many people like you are like this when they hear such low interest rates. But you've come at a bad time. The houses here are sold out. If you want to buy a new house, it won't come out until next spring. "

"Thank you for your information." The Minister of Hubu said politely.

"You're welcome. You go in and have a look. You can look at the model room

The Minister of Hubu entered the gate of phase II with curiosity.

Phase II here, divided into two parts, one side is the construction site, separated by wood. On one side are the small second floors that have been built in neat rows.

Find the model room and go in and visit it.

In the eyes of the Minister of Hubu, there is no aesthetic feeling in the house, but it is better to be solid, exquisite and small, and there should be all of them.

Each suite has at least four bedrooms and more than seven or eight bedrooms. There is enough for the family.

Because of the different prices, some houses with small gardens, but also with wells, such a house will need more than 200 taels of silver. In terms of the prices in the capital, they are still very cheap.

Some houses only have a small patio for lighting, and there is no well. You have to go to a public well to get water. Such a house, as long as one hundred Liang, is still very cheap.

Inside the house, all painted with big white walls.

House after house, like a line of soldiers, neatly arranged together.

"This Gu Jiu is really thoughtful."

The Minister of Hubu sighed.

The master said: "the small house with garden here is not bad. At such a low price, the officials are a little excited and want to buy one. If you can't live by yourself, you can rent it. "

The other attendants nodded, and they thought the same.

The house is strong, well planned and beautiful. Small to small, but Sparrow although small five viscera complete.

More than 100 Liang is not expensive. It's very good to buy a few buildings here and rent them to businessmen from all over the country, or to the Ju Zi in Beijing.

Hubu Shangshu ha ha a smile, "you said, I have some heart. Let's go and have a look at the next phase of the project. "

The master hastily introduced, "the first phase is all refugees, and half of them have already lived in it. According to the plan of Madame Zhao, the shack area will be demolished by force at the beginning of next spring, and all the refugees must buy houses and move out. If you don't buy a house, you can't work on the construction site to earn money. ""To deal with these refugees, Gu Jiu's methods are one after another. If she wants to demolish the shack area, she will not be afraid of trouble caused by refugees? "

The master laughed, "I'm not afraid. Those refugees have long been tamed by the guards under Madame Zhao. "

Oh?

The Minister of Hubu is full of curiosity.
