Doctor of the Great Song Dynasty: In the beginning, Li Qingzhao and Li Qingzhao made a private decis

boom!
The Kaifeng city wall that had stood for hundreds of years suddenly collapsed, and the people of Kaifeng couldn't help but tremble.

Even the excess gravel was not wasted, all was poured into the moat and the moat was filled!
Obviously, since the city wall was no longer useful, the moat naturally also lost its role, and the entire east wall of Kaifeng soon became a ruin.

"What kind of evil recipe is this?" Many people looked at Fan Zheng's actions in disbelief. If Fan Zheng had not had the precedent of Xingqing Mansion destroying the city with one strike, countless people would have gone to question Fan Zheng.

Because Fan Zheng's move has put everyone in Kaifeng City in danger. If Fan Zheng doesn't have a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid it will definitely attract countless violent storms. By then, even Fan Zheng, the prefect of Kaifeng, may not be able to bear it. Can't live.

However, the collapse of the Kaifeng city wall made some dignitaries keenly see the opportunity. The so-called east is rich and the west is rich. The eastern part of Kaifeng has always been the residence of the powerful. The land here is expensive and every inch of land is precious. There are many houses that were originally worth tens of thousands yes.

Now that Fan Zheng has cut down the east city wall, he can suddenly get a lot of extra land. The originally worthless land outside the city wall is instantly worth thousands of gold.

At that moment, countless people took notice of the news and began to secretly acquire land in the east of the city. Suddenly, the price of land in the east of the city skyrocketed.

Even some far-sighted people in the south and west of the city have taken action. After all, since Fan Zheng has demolished the east city wall, the south and west walls have no effect and will be demolished sooner or later.

However, when these smart people proudly went to Kaifeng Yamen to exchange land deeds, they were greeted with shocking news.

"What, Fan Zheng has sealed all the land deeds in Kaifeng City and no buying or selling is allowed!"

These smart people couldn't help but said angrily. This was a great opportunity to get rich overnight, but now Fan Zheng blocked the door.

At that moment, these people immediately used their connections and began to coerce Fan Zheng to let go of the transaction. Some of them were the white gloves of high-ranking officials, and even brought the matter to the court.

Faced with the heated discussion in the city, even Zhao Xu couldn't bear it and summoned Fan Zheng again.

"Fan Zheng, a humble minister, has met an official!"

Fan Zheng said calmly.

"I impeached Fan Zheng, deceived the emperor, tore down the Kaifeng city wall, ignored the safety of millions of people, and even put His Majesty in danger. It is simply lawless."

Fan Zheng tore down the Kaifeng City Wall, causing heavy losses to the rich and powerful in the East City. Everyone knew that once the East City Wall was demolished, a large amount of land would be vacated, and the housing prices in the East City would plummet instantly.

"Fan Zheng is using his power for personal gain, doing evil things, not only tearing down the city walls, but also sealing up all the land deeds without authorization. This is really unworthy of his virtue! Your Majesty, please remove him from office!"

Countless ministers have impeached Fan Zheng. As long as they squeeze Fan Zheng out of the position of Kaifeng magistrate, no matter who takes over, they will be able to complete the land deed transaction as quickly as possible and put all the blame on Fan Zheng.

Today's Fan Zheng has almost everyone in the dynasty rebelling against him, which is simply more serious than the reforms of Fan Zhongyan and Wang Anshi back then.

Even Zhao Xu probably couldn't offend so many important ministers and could only choose the same decision as Renzong and Shenzong to remove Fan Zheng from office.

"Rebel!"

Fan Chunli looked embarrassed and looked at Fan Zheng hatefully. He was helpless even in such a situation.

Fortunately, he knew that Nizi liked to use evil methods, and now he could only place his hope on Fan Zhenghe.

Zhao Xu naturally thought of this, and immediately said with a headache: "Fan Aiqing, now that the east city wall has been demolished, you should be able to tell me what evil methods you have!"

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "It is indeed the intention of the low officials to report to the officials and seal the land deed transactions. Like tearing down the city wall, it is a good way to raise money for the Northern Expedition."

"Seriously?" Zhao Xu said in surprise.

Fan Zheng said loudly: "Do the officials know what the housing prices in Kaifeng City are now? A mere piece of land can be used to build houses worth tens of thousands of dollars. Although the land outside the city is expensive, compared with the housing prices in the city, it is not high." It is worth mentioning that there is a saying among the people that they would rather have a bed in the city than a room outside the city. "

Fan Chunchun, who was already the Minister of Household Affairs, suddenly had an idea and said: "You want to use the land outside Dongcheng to obtain money for the Northern Expedition!"

Zhao Xu also suddenly got up and was very excited!
The land in Kaifeng City is very valuable. If the land outside the city can be sold at the price of Kaifeng City, how much money will be raised for the court!

"Yes, Weichen is planning to establish Biandong New District in Dongcheng to stabilize the high housing prices in Kaifeng City!" Fan Zheng said seriously.

"Great idea! Good recipe!"

Zhao Xu clapped his hands and exclaimed.

Fan Chunli also breathed a sigh of relief. This party could indeed raise a large amount of funds for the court. In this way, Fan Zheng's pressure would be greatly reduced.

"Officials are not allowed to do so. It is said that officials cannot strive for benefits for the people. How can there be any reason for the imperial court to control land and make money." Yang Wei immediately objected.

Fan Zheng snorted coldly: "Does Master Yang have a good way to raise money for the imperial court?"

Yang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then said harshly: "That can't compete with the people for profit!"

Other ministers agreed one after another! If the imperial court controls the land, their dream of getting rich overnight may be shattered, and they will naturally not be reconciled to it.

Fan Zheng sneered and said: "Of course I will not compete with the people for profit, but will instead benefit the people."

"That's total nonsense!" Yang Wei saw Fan Zheng telling lies with his eyes open, and he shouted angrily.

Fan Zheng said proudly: "These are the transaction prices of land outside the city when the city wall was not demolished. The imperial court decided to purchase it at a high price!"

Cai Jing sneered and said, "Mr. Fan must be confused. The price of land outside the city has already increased several times."

Ministers no matter whether they were involved in hoarding land or not, all nodded. The crazy price of land outside the city had spread throughout Kaifeng City.

Fan Zheng retorted: "Don't forget, the reason why the land outside the city has soared is not because the government demolished the city wall. Furthermore, there is so much land outside the East City. If it is allowed to be bought and sold, the price of land in Kaifeng City will definitely rise." If it plummets, countless people’s assets will be wiped out overnight, which may cause chaos.”

What Fan Zheng said immediately aroused the approval of many knowledgeable people. Now that the city wall has just been demolished, housing prices in the city have begun to plummet. If countless more houses are built in Dongcheng, the housing prices in Kaifeng will collapse!
"So, the land in Kaifeng City must be under the control of the government and carried out in an orderly manner. In this way, the housing prices in Kaifeng City can be maintained, and the people outside the city can benefit, and the government can also obtain sufficient funds for the Northern Expedition. "Fan Zheng is reasonable.

"It should indeed be controlled by the government!" Su Song solemnly nodded.

"Zhang seconded the motion!"

"Fan seconded the proposal!" At that moment, the three prime ministers of the current government expressed their opinions. After all, for the prime minister, the Northern Expedition was the top priority. This way, it could take into account the interests of the three parties, so it was a sure-fire strategy.

Even Zhang Dun, who disliked Fan Zheng the most, was full of praise for this strategy.

"By stabilizing the housing prices in Kaifeng City, the government may be able to make a profit, but the profits for the people outside the city may be a fantasy!" Cai Jing snorted coldly.

"Moreover, Kaifeng Prefecture purchased land outside the city at a low price and sold it at Kaifeng City's land price. I'm afraid it will immediately cause dissatisfaction among the people!" Yang Wei also pointed out.

Zhao Xu frowned. It is said that the people are not worried about the shortage but the inequality. How can the people be reconciled to such a huge price difference?

Fan Zhengxin said: "I just said that there is a rumor in Kaifeng City that I would rather have a bed in the city than a room outside the city, so I want to give the people outside the city the most precious wealth, a house in Kaifeng City!"

"House in Kaifeng City!"

The officials looked at Fan Zheng in confusion.

Fan Zheng explained: "As long as the imperial court stabilizes the housing prices in Kaifeng City, the land outside the city can be replaced by new houses built by the government according to a certain proportion. By then, the people outside the city can easily obtain land worth thousands or even ten thousand yuan. It can be said that he became rich overnight, how much opposition do you think the people still have? "

"A house worth thousands of dollars, even ten thousand dollars!"

“Get rich overnight!”

All the officials were in an uproar, thinking about Fan Zheng's evil recipe. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that this recipe was a stroke of genius.

The people outside Kaifeng City are simply obsessed with the houses in Kaifeng City. Besides, they have been cultivating land for several lifetimes and have never been able to gain a fortune. Now they can easily own a house worth thousands of dollars, so naturally no one objects.

Cai Jing sneered and said: "I have to say that what Governor Fan said is indeed a fairy tale. However, in Cai's opinion, it is just a dream! The government obtained funds for the Northern Expedition, and the people outside the city became rich overnight. However, where did this money come from? The goods and wealth produced by heaven and earth are all determined. How can such money be created out of thin air?"

Fan Zhengxin said: "Of course we will build houses on the land outside Kaifeng City and sell them!"

"Sell it! Who will buy it?" Yang Wei questioned.

"Of course someone will buy it!" Fan Zheng said loudly.

"Kaifeng City has been built for a hundred years. The city wall limits the space of Kaifeng City. However, the population of Kaifeng City continues to increase. According to the latest household registration statistics of Kaifeng Prefecture, the combined local and floating population of Kaifeng Prefecture has reached nearly two million."

"Two million!" The officials couldn't help but exclaimed. They didn't expect that the population of Kaifeng City was so terrifying.

"And these two million people are crowded in the small city of Kaifeng. The Bian Bridge is severely congested every day, and the government needs to send special officials to clear it. The houses in the city are lined up in rows, but every inch of land is expensive. Not only the common people, but also the officials are buying The people cannot afford the houses in Kaifeng, and the housing prices in Kaifeng have been suffering for a long time!" Fan Zheng shouted.

Su Shi nodded in agreement and couldn't help but recall the hardships he had to go through to buy a house.

"The housing prices in Kaifeng City are indeed high, but who would spend thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to buy the barren land in the east of the city!" Yang Wei snorted coldly.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a headache. Although the housing prices in Kaifeng City were very high, it was Kaifeng City after all. The east part of the city was completely deserted. How could it be sold at such a high price!

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "No! The east of the city is not a barren land, but a new city of Kaifeng. The Kaifeng Mansion is planning to move all the yamen to the east of the city! Fan will work in the east of the city in the future."

"Relocate the Yamen to the east of the city?" Su Song's eyes flashed, and he instantly understood Fan Zheng's plan. He set an example and used Kaifeng Yamen and his own reputation to protect housing prices in the east of the city.

Other ministers also realized that in all the cities in the Song Dynasty, the Yamen occupied the best position. If the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion were moved to the east of the city, it would definitely attract a large number of people to buy houses in the east of the city.

"This is not enough!" Fan Chunli frowned. It is impossible for a single Kaifeng Yamen to value the land in the east of the city thousands of dollars.

Fan Zheng nodded and said: "It is indeed not enough, but there is a large population gathering in Kaifeng City, and the houses are small but extremely expensive. Only the mansions of wealthy families have waterside pavilions and gardens. If Fan had not proposed the idea of ​​a medical city and opened the Shanghe Garden in Kaifeng City, Sure enough, it was recognized by the people, so Fan came up with a good idea. If a wealthy mansion with a waterside garden is built in the east of the city, I believe it will be very popular and attract countless people to buy it. "

"Nonsense, who doesn't like the big houses in Waterside Gardens, but every place costs more than ten thousand yuan, how many people can afford it?" Cai Jing said sarcastically.

Fan Zheng said proudly: "So I thought of a good way. The houses in the east of the city will be organized into a community model. There will be many houses in the community for the people to buy at an affordable price. There will be a waterside garden in the middle. This will keep the housing prices at a low level." Within a reasonable range, ordinary people can enjoy the waterside gardens of luxurious houses. How much do you think this kind of house is worth? "

Many officials' eyes lit up. Why don't they want to enjoy a luxurious mansion at a low price? If the east of the city is really built like this, it will be exactly what they want.

"Still not enough!"

Although Fan Zheng's idea was extremely clever, Fan Chunli still frowned.

Zhang Dun and Su Song also nodded. If you want to go to the Northern Expedition, you will need a lot of funds. Fan Zheng will have to make the housing prices very expensive. In this way, although Fan Zheng's design is very clever, he can only open a small part of the city. The rich could afford it, but they could not support the Northern Expedition.

Fan Zheng continued: "Kaifeng Prefecture has another plan, that is, as long as you buy a house in the east of Kaifeng Prefecture, you can obtain Kaifeng Prefecture household registration and participate in the imperial examination in Kaifeng Prefecture!"

Fan Zheng's words were like a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and all the officials were in an uproar.

"What, you actually used the imperial examination as bait! This is simply child's play!"

"I heard that Mr. Fan discovered a case of imperial examination fraud on Liangzhe Road! Now you can buy a house and participate in the imperial examination. What is the difference between this and imperial examination fraud?"

........................

As soon as Fan Zheng said this, all the officials immediately went into a rage. They criticized Fan Zheng verbally and written one after another, and even publicly impeached Fan Zheng.

"Just tell me, can this method help you sell the real estate in the east of the city?" Fan Zheng said, spreading his hands.

"Evil recipe, evil recipe again!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a headache. As the imperial capital, Kaifeng Prefecture had far more places for the imperial examination every year. This also made all the candidates dissatisfied. If Fan Zheng used to buy a house to register in Kaifeng Prefecture, I believe he would be able to attract a large number of candidates for the imperial examination. People come to Kaifeng Mansion to buy a house?

All the officials were speechless. They could say that Fan Zheng came up with evil prescriptions, but they could never deny that Fan Zheng's evil prescriptions were useless! China's official-based system for thousands of years has long made countless people eager to become officials. This is why many people would rather take risks than cheat in the imperial examinations.

Now there is an open and honest opportunity. As long as you pay money, you can not only obtain real estate in Kaifeng City, but also get the opportunity to take the imperial examination. I believe that countless people who hope that their children will succeed will definitely spend their money and let their children take the imperial examination in Kaifeng City! (End of chapter)
