I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 751 The Horror Cost
Then he said hastily,

"My lord, is there no solution? There are hundreds of merchants here, that is, hundreds of families. If they are homeless due to the relocation of Tiangongyuan,

They even have to bear debts that they may not be able to replace in their lifetime. The subordinates can't bear it! "

Li Tian also knew that he had good intentions, and it was none of his business at all, but he couldn't help but speak up for them.

He sighed,

"The solution is not without, and it is very simple.

But this problem is not something that can be solved overnight.

Businessmen are all profit-seeking, I can help them today, but in the future there will still be people coming forward one after another.

We must fundamentally solve the cause of this problem in order to prevent the possibility of this situation in the future. "

Zhou Zhen continued,

"The Tiangongyuan will be relocated in a few months. The subordinates can't control things that are too far away, but the subordinates absolutely don't want to see these people who are about to merge with the Tiangongyuan. Because of the reason of Tiangongyuan, it was destroyed!"

As he said that, he knelt down on one knee and prayed to Li Tian,
"Young master, please read the merits of everyone in the Tiangongyuan, do a good job for these common people!"

Seeing that he was so excited, Li Tian quickly helped him up with a wry smile.

Shaking his head,
"You, you are really an idiot, how can you hear that the wind is rain.

Did I ever say that I don't care about their life or death?

I don't know why you are so anxious. The reason why I raised this question today is actually to find a solution to it.

You haven't finished listening to the words, and you are in a hurry to plead for someone's life.

If people who don't know the truth know about this, they will think that all this is my son's conspiracy. "

To be honest, Li Tian is indeed worthy of doubt.

The relocation of Tiangongyuan was his attention. The person who lent money to the people to buy high-priced houses is the Royal Bank, which is also Li Tian's property.

To say that Li Tian led all of this behind the scenes, deliberately cheating the people of their money, is actually justified.

The atmosphere seems to have become a little tense.

Sophia stepped forward to mediate the atmosphere and said,
"My lord, since you have a solution, you might as well tell everyone about it. I still want to know what clever tricks you have to easily solve this seemingly unsolvable problem."

Her words sounded like they were asking, but in fact, they flattered Li Tian in a moderate way, and they made Li Tian feel very comfortable.

Li Tian shook the decorative and practical fan in his hand with some pride, and said with a smile,

"Actually, the solution is very simple.

That is, the imperial court will come forward, the royal bank will support it, and we will build a group of shops near the new site of Tiangongyuan.

Then, the house in the hands of the merchants will be bought back at a reasonable price by way of exchange and discount.

In this way, not only will the houses in their hands not become worthless, but also each merchant can have a new store at a new address. "

Suddenly hearing Li Tian's novel method, several people were stunned at the same time.

Then someone asked,
"But in this way, wouldn't the imperial court suffer a lot, not only to give new shops, but also to take over their worthless real estate?"

Li Tian showed a disdainful smile and said,
"Of course it won't be that simple.

It's just that one or two sentences with simple reasoning are not clear!
Simply put.

In batches and on a large scale, new construction methods are used to build houses with similar specifications, and the cost is much lower than that of building a house alone.

If we can control the cost within a reasonable range.

Excluding the cost of replacement purchases, we can even make a small profit. "

Everyone was almost dumbfounded when they heard this.

"What's the reason? No matter how much you save on the cost of a new house, you won't be able to make money after deducting the compensation for the old house!

Could it be that His Majesty intends to fool the common people with the tofu project. "

Seeing them still looked puzzled.

Li Tian had no choice but to continue to explain to them,

"You may not know that due to the increasing population of the capital, there are no large-scale forest farms around the capital.

Therefore, most of the wood used by the people to build houses is transported from other provinces.

The farthest ones even have to be mined and transported from Shu!
Not to mention the original value of these high-quality wood, even if it is an ordinary piece of wood, after such a long journey to the capital, the price will be more than doubled.

This is just one item of wood, if you count things like bricks and tiles, it will be even more outrageous.

Therefore, the price for the common people to build a house by themselves is very astonishing. "

Having said this, Wang Fu couldn't help but nodded, and whispered,

"Some time ago, Governor Huang took over a house that they respected, and the old slave also went there for a stroll some time ago.

According to Huang Duzhu, the house with only three or four entrances to the yard cost more than 2 taels of silver for the construction alone, and adding furniture and other things, the final cost reached an astonishing 4 to [-] taels. "

Li Tian also knew what Wang Fu said. At that time, because Huang Yan got him a lot of money, Li Tian was so happy that he rewarded him with the house.

Hearing what Wang Fu said, several people showed surprised expressions at the same time.

Especially Sophia, who didn't know much about Daming, opened her mouth in surprise, and said incredulously,

"This is too amazing. In our country, although housing prices are very expensive, a manor that can accommodate five or sixty people is only two or three thousand gold coins at most.

Unexpectedly, in Daming, a residence of the same size is more than ten times higher than that in my hometown!
This is no different from stealing money! "(A gold coin, approximately equal to one point five taels of silver)
Others may not be aware of the purchasing power of gold coins in Sophia's hometown.

But Li Tian is very clear.

Gold is a precious metal, so whether it is in Europe or anywhere in the world, its purchasing power is very good. Thousands of gold coins are not only the entire net worth that a princess like Sofia can afford.

It is indeed no problem to buy a manor with dozens of hard work in Europe.

It's no wonder why Sophia was so shocked by Daming's housing prices.

Because, in her opinion, a single-family manor is the highest symbol of wealth in the West, and no one who is not a rich and noble family can afford it.

Wang Fu's words can be regarded as a lot of evidence for Li Tian. He ignored Sophia's shock, but threw out an even more unbelievable news.
