"Brother, I've been thinking about it all night, but I still don't understand. You have to teach me."
"Okay, if you don't understand, just ask!"
"Brother, do you think that permission to own private property and status as a samurai... can make Japanese businessmen willing to spend 30 to 40 million to buy land in Osaka?"
"Of course it's impossible. How can it be so easy? Thirty to forty million! It's so easy to make money. We have to let all the businessmen who buy houses and real estate in Osaka make money and make big profits. Only in this way can we encircle Thirty to forty million!"
"This...they have all made money. What do I, the emperor, earn?"
"Lao San, making money in the mall is not like grabbing money on the battlefield...it can be made by both the buyer and the seller! If the buyer does not make a profit and feels that he has made a loss, then the seller's business will be over. "
“Is this really how business works?”
"Not all businesses are like this, but the real estate business is like this...the buyer loses money, and the seller will have a hard time doing it!"
In Osaka Castle, the nephew of the Ming Emperor and the Meiji Emperor (who had not yet officially come to power) got up early in the morning and sat on the castle tower of Osaka Castle. They looked at the original castle town outside Osaka Castle, which was now in ruins, and discussed When it comes to real estate speculation and entrepreneurship... the Ming Dynasty Kunimoto and the Emperor of Japan are really very enterprising!
"Brother, how can we make all the businessmen who bought real estate in Osaka make money?" Zhu Cijiong asked very seriously.
"You have to do this..." Zhu Cihong said, "First of all, we have to lower the threshold and allow more small and medium-sized businessmen to enter the market. If only a few large businessmen participate, this market will not be able to take off. We must allow small and medium-sized businessmen to enter the market." You can also come and buy it. So the land for sale has to be large or small, and the smallest one... can be 30 square meters."
30 pings equals one mu per day, and a daily mu is much smaller than a Chinese mu, about 99 square meters.
"30 square meters? Isn't that too small? How to build a house?"
After Zhu Cixiang heard this, he was a little dumbfounded. This was a man who wanted to be the Emperor of Meiji. The tone of his words was really too loud.
But having said that, 30 square meters, or almost 99 square meters, is indeed a bit small for someone like Zhu Cijiong... Can a home still be considered a home if there is no yard for horse racing?
"30 square meters is not too small," Zhu Cixiang said. "If we build three floors, that would be a construction area of 90 square meters. How can it be considered small?"
This is nearly 300 square meters!
"Isn't a 90 square meter house small?" Zhu Cijiong frowned, "Brother, have you ever lived in such a small house?"
Lived! Why haven't you lived there? Zhu Cixiang glanced at his brother and said in his heart: How small the house I lived in back then is something you, an ignorant emperor, cannot even imagine!
"A house of 90 square meters is enough for ten households to live in!" Zhu Cixiang said, "Osaka Town and Shanghai City are in similar situations...so they can afford to buy 30 square meters of land and then build a house of 90 square meters. , rented to 10 households, it is already a middle-class house among Osaka residents, and the number should not be too many. It can be granted the status of a town corporal, and it is allowed to have Miao characters and swords. "
"Only give Miao characters and swords?" Zhu Cijiong asked again.
Because when Emperor Koiko landed in Osaka, he gave a group of Osaka townsfolk who had done meritorious service the power of Hiao characters, swords, and officialdom.
Zhu Cixiang nodded, "Only the word Miao and the sword, so that even if they leave Osaka Town, they will not be rudely asked for."
If you are rude, just cut it off! It is the privilege of Japanese samurai against civilians!
Of course, samurai were said to be able to kill civilians in the name of being "rude". But it will still be a bit troublesome to actually cut it. Because all civilians have masters! It depends on the owner to beat a dog, not to mention killing a person? For example, Osaka Castle and the surrounding land are Tenryo. In other words, the master of the people of Osaka is the Emperor! Can the emperor's people be killed at will? It's definitely not possible. Therefore, the Osaka Town Agency will send people to maintain order in Osaka Town and prohibit casual killing of people. If a samurai is found to kill someone in the name of being disrespectful, he will arrest him and then conduct an investigation to confirm whether there are any civilians who were killed. Offend the samurai who slashed people?
However, outside of big cities such as Osaka, Kyoto, Edo, and Nagasaki, which are directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, the management of rude begging is not so strict.
In addition, it is indeed a legitimate right for samurai to kill civilians in the name of being disrespectful.
Therefore, civilians in Japan are still quite dangerous... And although the identity of a town corporal only has the name Miao and a sword, he is also a samurai of the emperor and is unlikely to be legally hacked to death by other samurai!
"As for the power to serve as an official, it should be given to the town sergeant," Zhu Cihong said. "Why should the town sergeant have a place in the town?"
According to the Japanese land calculation method, a section is thirty paces long and twelve paces wide, and a town is ten sections long. However, the "step" in Japan and the "step" in the Ming Dynasty are not exactly the same, so Zhu Cixiang is not sure how big the land is in Yichen? I only know that it is about a dozen acres. To be able to own such a large piece of land in Osaka Town is undoubtedly a wealthy businessman! You have to pay a lot of land tax and business tax every year, so you should be a town sergeant.
However, there cannot be too many wealthy businessmen of this level, so the one who can really push up the land price in Osaka is the corporal town.
"So...how much does it cost to buy 30 square meters of land?" Zhu Cijiong asked again.
"300 taels of silver." Zhu Cihong said, "Don't make it too expensive at the beginning. 10 taels per square meter is enough. It has to be affordable for small and medium-sized businessmen at the level of fantou and merchants... In addition, You can ask Liangdai Bank to accept land mortgages. It is no problem to mortgage 30 square meters of land for 200-250 taels. With this money, the land holder can build a house and then rent it out.
The rent in Osaka Town seems to be very expensive now, I don’t know the exact amount. But if there are 10 or 20 units in a 90 square meter house, we should be able to collect a lot of rent.
In addition, don’t put too much land at once at the beginning. Putting 1,000 pieces of land of 30 square meters and 50 pieces of land of 1 town is enough. This amount should be able to be sold...if not, the buyer can be regardless of country and foreign businessmen are allowed to buy. "
"That's a lot of money..." Zhu Cijiong's eyes started to shine, "1,000 pieces of land of 30 square meters can get 300,000 taels, and 50 pieces of land per town can get more than 1 million taels!"
All of a sudden it’s one hundred thousand taels!
Zhu Cijiong felt completely refreshed. With this money, there would be no problem in raising 20 female emperors! He doesn't want any real estate prices to increase. As long as he can get one million or hundreds of thousands a year, no, with another discount, he can get seven or eight hundred thousand, he will be very happy. This is all extra income that can be put into your own pocket!
"Brother," Zhu Cijiong wiped his hands, "When can I start the business you mentioned?"
Look at your potential! Zhu Cihong glanced at him, "How dare you call me Emperor Meiji?" Emperor Meiji made the Qing Dynasty more than 200 million in one go!
"Third brother," Zhu Cixiang said with a smile, "you have to become the emperor first! Once you become the emperor, you will be the master of Osaka Castle and Osaka Town! Only in this way can you run Osaka legitimately!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhu Cijiong smiled broadly, "When you become the emperor, you are the master of Osaka... With the land in Osaka, I will get rich!" He raised his hand to Zhu Cixiang, "Brother, you still have a way. You are truly the God of Wealth. I admire you!"
