After leading them to the courtyard prepared for them by His Highness King Qin, Jiang Quhu pointed to this row of courtyards and said calmly: "These courtyards are prepared by His Highness for you. Come in and take a look."
"Yes, thank you Lord Jiang for leading the way." Ju Zhisheng bowed respectfully to Jiang Quhu. Then they simply walked into this courtyard, which was prepared for them by His Highness anyway.
To be honest, before entering, they had already thought of various scenes, such as the extremely dilapidated yard, etc., but after entering, everyone was stunned for a moment.
This... is surprisingly exquisite? Not to mention that all the houses inside are brand new, and the windows of some houses are actually equipped with something transparent, with some light green inside, like glass.
These are installed on the windows to make the entire room transparent. This small courtyard is not big. In fact, it is just a typical two-level courtyard. In Chang'an, this can only be regarded as a small courtyard.
Enter the small courtyard for the second time
But all its buildings are very exquisite, and the courtyard is much larger than an ordinary two-entry courtyard. Also, the main house at the back has a total of three floors.
The greening in the yard and the layout of the houses are very good. The row of houses on the outside of the yard is enough for housekeepers and servants, etc. The main yard at the back is naturally the owner's house.
Although it was very crowded and not as good as their palace in Gaochang, it was quite nice to have such a courtyard for the first time in Chang'an.
"The size of the courtyards here are all the same. Your family can choose one and move in first. If you want to buy it yourself, you can go to a dental shop in the next few days. The courtyard here will be returned to His Highness in the end." Jiang Qu Hu said calmly.
"Thank you, Lord Marquis." Ju Zhisheng and the others immediately arranged for their family members and the maid and housekeeper to move in first. In any case, no matter how big or small the place is, you must first have a place to stay.
After leaving them to settle down, Jiang Quhu took them to Datang Central Bank to handle the relevant money exchange business.
When waiting for the exchange, Jiang Quhu was somewhat surprised. As the king of Gaochang, the Ju family actually exchanged a huge fortune of one million yuan.
This is not counting some of the gold and silver they carry. It seems that the king is indeed rich. However, Jiang Quhu was just surprised, but he was not envious at all, because he, Jiang Quhu, received nearly 200,000 yuan of property just from this year's dividends.
Oh, these things are just nonsense. Only by following His Highness can you have meat to eat. They don't understand at all.
In addition to the Ju brothers who exchanged more than one million guan, other nobles in Gaochang also exchanged wealth close to 2 million guan. In other words, the nobles from Gaochang who went to Chang'an exchanged almost three million guan. One million strings.
This figure is somewhat beyond King Jiang Quhu's expectation. It seems that His Highness is really sincere. He actually purchased their property and fields in the Western Regions at market prices. Otherwise, it would be impossible to calculate such an outrageous figure. .
Of course, Jiang Quhu probably guessed what His Highness was thinking. The Gaochang group was the first. To put it bluntly, this was to set an example for the other kings and nobles of the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.
With this example, those countries should have an idea of what to choose.
And Gaochang is indeed the richest country in the Western Regions, because it is located on an important node of the Silk Road, and it has blocked many countries in the Western Regions from sending tributes to Li Shimin in recent years.
What's more, it is estimated that many of these nobles and the Ju family's horses, fields, and even people in the Western Regions have been settled by His Highness.
Of course, what Jiang Quhu didn't know was that Li Ke had indeed paid more for these people. The market price in the Western Regions was not that expensive, and Li Ke had probably increased it by about 20%.
The reason why they were given some money for free was for several reasons. The first was to show Datang's sincerity and national credibility, and to set an example for other countries in the Western Region.
By then, with Gaochang as the pilot project, the countries in the Western Regions should know better than themselves. In fact, as early as when Ju Zhisheng and the others were still close to a month away from Chang'an, Ju Zhisheng and the others' imperial edict on the title of nobility, as well as the amount of money they could exchange, It has been sent back to the Western Region through intelligence channels.
When Ju Zhisheng didn't know about these things, the kings of all the countries in the Western Regions already knew about them.
So Li Ke naturally wanted to cash in.
The second is that now Li Ke can't find a good way to increase the income of the people, so he is looking for someone to spend money. These people will spend at least half of their funds in the Tang Dynasty's Sleepless City in the future.
In the end, the people of the Tang Dynasty were benefited, and they contributed to the economic development of the Tang Dynasty.
Third, when they spend money in the Evernight City of the Tang Dynasty, a large number of nobles from the Western Regions will gather together to consume, which will naturally drive the consumption of Chang'an nobles and aristocratic families.
Without comparison, how can we drive consumption?
And if they want to drive consumption among the nobles, these nobles naturally need to have more ammunition.
When the time comes for them to become jealous of the Chang'an family, it will be the common people who get the advantage in the end.
Good thing, good thing.
After all, how can we drive people to consume without rhythm? Jealousy between the five surnames and the seven princes is so rare that it is basically impossible.
But these people from the Western Regions collectively despise the aristocrats of Chang'an or the Tang Dynasty... Then, which one is intolerable?
Although Ju Zhisheng and the others were shocked by the banknotes they received, they did not raise any objection because they had heard about it on the way.
They all know that these Tang Dynasty banknotes can be directly exchanged for silver at banks across the Tang Dynasty. Now the businessmen of Datang are discussing the benefits of these banknotes. Those who do not use banknotes will fall behind and be regarded as country bumpkins. They do not want to Being treated like a country bumpkin.
Returning to the small courtyard, with money in his hands, Ju Zhisheng became much bolder and couldn't help but ask: "Master Hou, I wonder how much does this small courtyard cost?"
"Not much. The market of this courtyard is close to the West Market, and it is newly built, so the price His Highness gives you is 2,000 guan." Jiang Quhu said calmly.
"2000 strings?!" Ju Zhisheng was shocked. Is it so expensive? !
The two brothers exchanged a million tubes, so such a small yard would cost one-fifth? The price simply exceeded their imagination.
"This... His Highness didn't mean to sell us such a high price on purpose, right?" Ju Zhizhan couldn't hold back and asked subconsciously.
"Hahaha!" Ju Zhizhan's words made Jiang Qu laugh angrily, "I really stabbed my ass with a knife today, it opened my eyes. I blinded you dogs. Your Highness was so kind and fed the donkey's liver and lungs. Damn it, you can say Not anywhere else, Your Highness.”
"But His Highness deliberately sold you a high price for this little money? Go to Chang'an City and ask around. If you give His Highness a piece of the Tang treasury, do you think His Highness cares about it?"
After Jiang Qu cursed, he turned around angrily and left, a bunch of clowns, frogs in the well!
