For the first time, I really felt that I was as dangerous as a sheep among wolves. Everyone who stared at Li Ke wanted to get some benefit from him. Even the always lustful prince did not forget to come at this time. Steal the limelight.
Please, there is only one protagonist, and that is me—Li Ke.
"As we all know, the inner city is too small, that's why the fire burned endlessly, so I decided to renovate the inner city, and the residential areas will continue to be moved out. When the time comes,"
Before he could finish his words, the whole audience cheered, as if they thought they would get the money immediately, or else they would be a place of residence arranged by Prince Shu's Mansion. Anyway, they couldn't miss such a good opportunity to flatter him.
"Your Majesty, how much subsidy will be given to each of our families to move outside the city?"
"Can I have a house without money?"
There are more and more controversies, and refugees will not work as hard as before.
When asking for help, one must tell the truth. What the refugees wanted was very simple, nothing more than a house or silver as compensation. At this time, they listened even more to the words of the King of Shu.
"Everyone has misunderstood. There is no housing reconstruction and no monetary compensation. We are just asking you to give up the land."
Li Ke had long understood the threatening nature of this sentence, which was as shocking as a meteorite striking the ground. His eyes that looked at him with great respect before gradually became confused and anxious.
"No way, people are here and the land is here. If you don't give us any benefits, you can't even take away an inch of land from us!"
"Even if you are the emperor's son, you cannot seize our land, otherwise we will definitely not make it easy for you!"
The scene was almost in chaos. Twenty to thirty thousand people really wanted to cause chaos. Qin Zaiming and the prince brought less than a thousand people, and they couldn't suppress it at all. However, Li Ke's words had the effect of adding fuel to the fire.
The aristocratic families looked at each other. It turned out that the King of Shu was also from the same group. The only difference was that they spent money to buy some land. Li Ke wanted to use the name of the prince to conquer the inner city.
The idea that a benevolent person has a kind heart or is considerate of the people is just some superficial talk. Anyone who has anything to do with benefits will never be merciful.
"Quiet~quiet~!"
Four loud voices shouted together from all directions, and the soldiers beat the ground with sticks, which gradually made the people's resentment lessened, that is, the fire was hit by a drop of rain.
What you want is this effect.
Li Ke deliberately stood in front of the prince and drank a cup of tea, then turned around and faced the crowd who was about to lose control again.
Fighting rice to nourish kindness, shouldering rice to nourish hatred, are the most suitable words to describe the crowd at this time. Even though they knew that the fire in the inner city was extinguished by the ingenuity of the King of Shu, there was no benefit, and they directly regarded their benefactors as their enemies. Yes, what I want is real benefits.
"You all misunderstood, didn't I say that I wanted to seize your land? Haven't you listened to what I said?!"
"Then what can you give us in exchange?"
A live Q&A appeared. Even if there was no need to find someone to pretend to be a trustee, it was within the scope of Li Keneng's expectation. Land was not as valuable as silver, but it couldn't be separated.
Going beyond the question writer's thinking, if it is just a matter of redemption or exchange, the land in the inner city will naturally be more expensive. This is not the result Li Ke wants. This is also contrary to the long-term vision of large infrastructure, so he wants to use An unconventional way to regenerate the inner city.
"You have land, others have money!"
After a deliberate pause, Li Ke glanced at the wealthy aristocratic families who were watching in the crowd. These words directly pierced their hearts with a knife.
'They have money' and 'just rob them', I'm really afraid that such words will come out of the mouth of the King of Shu. Since this prince entered Qizhou, he has targeted local wealthy people for money. Now he doesn't want to To spend money on the reconstruction of Licheng, is it really necessary to allocate some of the wealth from the family?
Things like robbing the rich and giving to the poor have happened in all dynasties, but it's not necessarily the prince who took the lead in robbing honest people. What's more, the prince is also in Licheng. The King of Shu is not that courageous, right? !
This also makes everyone wonder, who has the money and is he willing to donate?
"I know that you need money whether you want to rebuild in the same place or move to the outer city. However, the money in the Shu Palace cannot satisfy so many people, so I have thought of a way to get the best of both worlds. Everyone is relieved and relieved.”
"Now that the official roads have been repaired a lot, business in nearby counties will continue in Licheng. Other places do not have the unique advantages of Licheng, so we need to let these merchants who do business everywhere do well in Licheng. Business, the taxes and fees collected are also very limited, and there is no way to accommodate everyone in a short time, but "
Everyone present was confused. After all, they didn't know how to make businessmen who were doing business willingly take out their shirts.
The new plan is also very simple, that is, the 50 million taels from the Shu Palace are given as loans to the people in the inner city. They only need to pay interest, and there is an additional condition that all building materials used for the reconstruction of the inner city must be from Buying it from a commercial bank means that people can only buy it from the building materials factory founded by Li Ke. In disguise, he opened a local loan bank in Licheng.
Merchants and caravans staying in Licheng need to pay venue fees and management fees on a regular basis. The money will be shared equally with the people. The profits of business are really too high.
"High, really high!"
Lin Changping couldn't help but agree, and wanted to explain it to the prince.
The trick of the King of Shu is to control the land prices in the inner city in Licheng, and at the same time transfer the cost of reconstruction to the people. As long as business expands in Licheng, the most money will actually be made by the state capital, Li Ke Mansion. You don’t need to touch the 50 million taels of silver at all, just continue to show off.
This was also a helpless move. A fire almost brought Qizhou back to its original shape. Now if we want to completely appease people's hearts and avoid being plotted by others, we can only take a longer-term view and use the financial methods of later generations. We must not Letting the Shu Palace go into debt will only lead to more people plotting against it.
The greater effect of this move is to fundamentally prevent land prices in the inner city from being raised. The big family's intention is to drive up land prices so that they can make more money from the land they hoarded before. Now everything is reversed. The land in hand is worthless at all, because reconstruction costs almost nothing.
"Let's think about it carefully. The sooner we agree, the sooner we can move into the new house. The ruins will be cleared in time and we can do business well."
The invisible pressure was obviously to get all the refugees to agree to the reconstruction project. Li Ke didn't care at all about the mentality of other people.
After the dark clouds dispersed, a ray of sunshine fell on everyone's face.
