Ten years is a snap of a finger, and fifty years is a flash of the palm...
By 1800, the new homeland of the Ming Empire had reached an unprecedented level of prosperity under the governance of Emperor Haojing.
Danzig, Krakow, Warsaw, Bydgoszcz, Lublin, Lodz, Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, Dortmund, Hamburg, Bremen, Dusseldorf, Duisburg, Halle, Bielefeld, Hanover, Cologne, Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Lille, Nice, Bordeaux, Amsterdam, Brussels, Copenhagen, Milan, Turin, Florence, Genoa, Naples, Porto, Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona Fifty cities including Nasional, Zaragoza, Malaga, Seville, Valencia, London, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Prague, Brno, Geneva and Bern were selected into the Western Region. The remaining fifty strong cities
Among them, Texas accounts for 14 seats, ranking first.
French State ranks second with nine seats, and Western State ranks third with eight seats.
Bozhou has six seats, Yizhou and Yingzhou each have five seats, Ruizhou has two seats, and Danzhou has one seat.
The more cities that are included in the list, the more developed the economy of a state, and the higher the total financial income csz and net financial income csj.
Emperor Haojing attaches the greatest importance to the economic construction of the four states of Poland, Germany, France, and Spain. They are the basis for his control of the European continent, and everything will be given priority.
In particular, these four states are also major grain-producing areas, accounting for just two of the four largest granaries in Europe, and are crucial to the grain harvest in Europe.
Compared with other European countries in later generations, Emperor Haojing preferred to build large cities with a population of millions.
This can help local industrial production resume more quickly, promote business development, and increase tax revenue.
In big cities in continental Europe, buildings as high as twenty or thirty stories are no longer a rarity.
Megacities such as Berlin, Paris, and Madrid with a population of more than five million have already built 66-story skyscrapers.
As the heart of the empire, Minsk, the capital, is located in a plain area where earthquakes rarely occur. There are as many as six 66-story skyscrapers in the city center.
Moreover, there are countless 20 and 30-story buildings nearby. When foreign tourists come here, they are shocked as if they have entered a steel jungle.
Zhu Cixiang was only willing to expand the size of the city and was not willing to build super-tall buildings, especially those with more than 20 floors, which were not conducive to fire safety.
However, the attraction of such a super-tall building for commercial development is too great. Even if the court does not want to contribute a penny, businessmen can raise their own funds to complete the construction.
After these skyscrapers were built, they were quickly sold out because commercial gimmicks were very convenient for hype, just like the concept of western-style buildings with running water, flush toilets, electric lights, and telephones.
Thanks to Zhu Cixiang's order, the selling prices of these skyscrapers have taken off.
The order is that from now on, only these six 66-story buildings will be retained in the urban area of Minsk. In order to eliminate fire hazards, the number of new buildings shall not exceed 40 stories.
This order was originally for the good of everyone, so as not to turn everyone into a roast chicken, but it turned out to help the skyscraper to create secondary hype...
Zhu Cixiang can guarantee that he has never taken a penny, or even a penny, from these developers, but others will not believe it.
Everyone originally wanted to build an eighty-eight-story building, but now all enthusiasm was extinguished. Fortunately, we can go to other state capitals to continue building buildings.
Zhu Cixiang did not ask the court to order the implementation of the same ban in all states, because the Ming Empire only had two capitals, and the other one was in Xindu.
No fool would build a skyscraper in a freezing new city, and he would probably die.
There are eight in the western states, and the city's character can be described as varied.
This is equivalent to spreading the risk and avoiding building high-rise buildings in one city.
Since Minsk is a post-planned city, all aspects have been designed in advance in a very scientific and reasonable manner.
There will be no concentric circles expanding toward the outer ring, which basically avoids the most serious traffic jams.
However, due to the capital city, wealthy people from all over the world, including those in overseas territories, naturally prefer to purchase real estate in Minsk.
Unless the Ming Empire goes to war with Sweden, which is just around the corner, Minsk will always be the first-line city of the Ming Empire.
Investing in real estate here is a good business with guaranteed profits. As long as you have enough money in your pocket, buying a house here is a good idea.
In order to prevent the capital's housing prices from being inflated by a group of brokers, Zhu Cixiang also issued relevant orders.
Anyone employed in Minsk enterprises and institutions is limited to purchasing two properties per person, with no limit on area. Properties purchased before the order is issued are not subject to the restriction.
Non-employees of Minsk enterprises and institutions, including immediate family members, are limited to purchasing one property per person, with no limit on area. Properties purchased before the order is issued are not subject to the restriction.
Once violations are discovered, the property purchased in violation of the regulations will be confiscated and a fine equal to the market value of the property will be imposed.
Those who are unable to pay the fine in one go will be jailed for a year based on 10,000 yuan in banknotes and the house price.
If you have to take advantage of the loopholes in the order and let your relatives, friends, or classmates buy a house, it’s not a failure of the school.
Anyway, if the other party regrets it later, since you bought the property yourself, you will definitely suffer a loss.
Because the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not recognize any agreement you two reach in private, and you will be exhausted and unable to win the lawsuit.
How to solve the problem after that is your own business. Whoever kills whom can do it...
The reason why the Metropolitan Procuratorate disapproved was that Emperor Haojing had reminded him of this matter a long time ago. Whoever dared to judge the plaintiff in victory would be sent to mine!
What does it mean for the plaintiff to win?
It means you can make a lot of money by taking advantage of the loopholes in the regulations!
Those wealthy gentry with money in their pockets still have to go out of their way to ask someone to buy a house?
After the passage to the Metropolitan Procuratorate was blocked, these people could only resolve the dispute privately.
Emperor Haojing has no control over whether it is a civil or military fight.
You can play whatever you want, and I'll just listen to the results!
The sea view villas on the southern coast of Iberia also have great investment value, and there are no purchase restrictions. You have to go to Minsk to make money. Isn’t this a waste of money?
The capital of the empire is a scarce resource, and everyone naturally knows this.
But precisely because of this, Emperor Haojing wanted to ensure the safety of local people.
It’s not that local theft is serious, but that after housing prices take off, commodity prices will also be driven up.
In Minsk, the monthly salary of salarymen cannot reach the income standards of bosses in other cities.
If it's one dollar for an apple, wouldn't the salarymen have to drink the northwest wind?
House prices and commodity prices have taken off. Who will bear the responsibility?
Zhu Cixiang's solution to this problem is that housing prices can rise steadily, but they must be decoupled from commodity prices.
How to do it specifically?
It is necessary to adopt purchase restriction measures and at the same time ensure that local people have houses to live in and do not need to worry about their houses for the rest of their lives.
Most of the people who surveyed the land in the Ming Dynasty moved here from the northern capital, and the other part were originally from the ministries under Zhang Huangyan.
Emperor Haojing told his disciples back then to ask his men to come to Minsk to buy a house as soon as possible. This hint couldn't be more obvious.
Nowadays, these descendants of Master Wang almost all lead a lazy life.
Because after the land purchased by the family was expropriated, they were allocated several buildings. Now, if they sell one of them, they can get thousands or even thousands of silver coins.
If you were an officer or even a general, you would have bought more land back then. After the land was expropriated by the court, the house you would be allocated would be in the tens of digits.
Emperor Haojing simply told them personally, don't ask for money, just ask for residential buildings in the city. No matter how big the usable area is, if you get it, you will make a lot of money.
Why is this? The residential buildings that seemed to be built on the edge of the city back then are now the bustling city center. Although it is not a business district, its housing prices are absolutely enviable.
Even if the houses are old and the local area is relocated, the houses given to these relocated households will be exchanged for the same area as the original place. It is just that the previous residential buildings only had six floors, but now they have eight or ten floors.
It is certainly a great thing to live in a new house in the same location without spending a penny.
People who have a lot of houses can either sell them directly or rent them out. Anyway, they can make money in both ways.
The descendants of soldiers in Mingsi Keng have at least three houses in their hands. Anyway, it is enough for marriage, and the mother-in-law will never get angry over the house issue.
If you make your mother-in-law think that you are idle after getting married, then you can use your own sales room to open a grocery store so that your wife can satisfy her addiction of collecting money...
To put it bluntly, a certain emperor's routine of raising the descendants of these soldiers is almost the same as the way the Qing Dynasty in another time and space raised his children.
It's just that the times have progressed, and the real estate can generate good returns, so there is no need for the court to pay.
The descendants of soldiers who still live in Mingsi Keng are people who still want to take advantage of the capital city.
If I want to start a conversation, I have already sold my local house and bought a villa along the coast of Xizhou.
There are complete medical, educational and transportation facilities, and the weather is better. It feels like summer almost all year round, and it's not too hot.
Zhu Cixiang placed the capital in Minsk for security reasons. The local climate is neither too cold nor too hot.
If he really became the Supreme Emperor, he would definitely not stay in Minsk anymore. He would have been retiring in a sea view villa in Xizhou...
Ibrahim had already inspected the villa area in Xizhou and was full of praise for the local sea view villas and surrounding supporting construction.
Therefore, thousands of similar villas have also been invested in and built on the North African coast to the west and east of the Strait of Gibraltar.
As soon as it was completed, it was snapped up by the tycoons of the Ottoman Empire, so that the second phase of the project was immediately launched.
After the end of large-scale wars around the world, economic development took priority.
When the economy prospers, wealthy people will be created in droves.
Rich people have money in their pockets and naturally enjoy life more than poor people.
Travel and vacation are naturally their first choice, and sea view villas are their best choice.
Even Ibrahim himself has purchased a lot of real estate there, because although Istanbul is also close to the sea, it obviously has nothing to do with beaches and coconut trees...
Emperor Poirot, who was far away in the Inca Empire, also followed suit. Firstly, he could enjoy it for himself, secondly, he could enrich his wallet, and thirdly, he could gain support from his subordinates.
Louis XIV wanted to do the same in West Africa. The local climate and geographical location were suitable for this, but it was too far away from France.
In fact, French tycoons are not even willing to go to French India, where the summer temperatures are simply disastrous.
In the end, Louis XIV could only build villa areas in Qinhuangdao, Lushun, and Qingdao, which somewhat made up for his regret.
After the change of location, there are almost no places in the new mainland of France where winters are too warm, so Qingdao is just fine.
After winter, a considerable number of French wealthy people gathered here.
Those who are willing to spend the winter abroad will go to the tropical islands in the Netherlands, where the climate is even better than that of the Mediterranean.
In order not to fall behind the world hegemons, Louis XIV and other heads of state also sent a large number of staff to Minsk.
In fact, he is a spy, but it seems more relevant to use the word "poor student" to describe it.
Not only did the other party blatantly take photos, but they also purchased relevant local information as much as possible.
There is only one thing to do when you get back, and that is to research first, then analyze, and finally start copying!
Zhu Cixiang gave them the opportunity to take an open-book exam, and whoever took the exam would score higher!
Things like movies have been invented a long time ago, but if you want to watch the latest, hottest, and most exciting movies, you still have to watch them in theaters in Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Haojing reused the waste in Warsaw and turned the city into the largest film and television base in the Ming Empire.
In order to film the battlefield movie, the ruins originally turned into Warsaw due to bombing were not cleared.
There are many ancient buildings and ruins in this city. There are also many indigenous people working to earn a living. The land and housing prices are very cheap, so it has many conditions for becoming a film and television base.
With Emperor Haojing's approval, Warsaw became the filming location for hundreds of film crews in a short period of time, and now has the world's number one Warsaw Film Festival and TV Festival.
There are also large-scale racing venues, racetracks, amusement parks, stadiums, theme parks, and multiple airports built locally, which share a lot of the logistics pressure in the direction of Minsk.
Therefore, the favorite Ming Empire city for Swedish tourists is Warsaw. It is very close to Sweden, and it is relatively easy to get a visa. There are many local tourist attractions, and you can have a good time without spending too much money.
As the heart of the empire, Ming Sike's economic pillars are financial securities, media publishing, scientific education, and real estate.
Emperor Haojing believes that these four pillar industries are enough for the time being, and there is no need for Minsk to have too many functions, otherwise it will greatly increase the burden on the city.
For economic development, it is indeed necessary to follow the route of urban intensification, but it should not be concentrated in Minsk, but should be dispersed and concentrated to the rest of the big cities in various places.
This can not only share the pressure on the capital, but also disperse related risks, which can be said to be both offensive and defensive.
