"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions!"
Seeing the confident emperor, Sun Chengzong didn't bother to think anymore and directly asked the emperor to explain.
"Sun Aiqing, not only do we need to build the city wall, we also need to build the houses, streets, shops, etc. in the city. After all, the cost you just mentioned will be doubled!"
"What, you want us to build the city too? This, this..."
Sun Chengzong was immediately confused, not because of the cost, but because of the quantity of the project, and he couldn't understand why the court should do this.
Looking at the surprised Sun Chengzong, Chongzhen said softly: "Sun Aiqing, let me ask you, how big is the area of an ordinary triple courtyard?"
"Basically, it is fifteen meters wide and eighteen meters deep. According to the new unit given by His Majesty, it is about 150 to 200 square meters."
"If you follow the plan you mentioned and the Hutong and Fangshi plans in Beijing, how many triple courtyards do you think can be built?"
"Your Majesty, please lend me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"
Sun Chengzong wrote and drew on the paper for half a stick of incense: "Your Majesty, if we calculate it based on two hundred square meters, it will be about ten thousand. Excluding streets, alleys, passages between markets, etc., it is estimated that there should be nine About a thousand seats.”
Having said this, Sun Chengzong suddenly froze, a possible thought flashed through his mind, he hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "Your Majesty wants to sell these triple courtyards?"
"The cost of building such a large three-heyuan in the capital is about thirty-five taels to forty taels of silver. Due to problems with materials and craftsmen, plus the land deed, etc., it can be sold for at least fifty taels of silver.
Fifty taels of silver may seem like a lot, but it is not too much for Mongolian herdsmen. The price of a war horse in the exchange market is about eight to fifteen taels of silver, and the best quality mutton is one cent and two cents per catty.
A herdsman's family can raise three or four horses, a few more, etc. If the production of these animals goes well, they can buy a house together in three to five years, and a house can accommodate seven or eight people.
If we adopt Shaanxi's method of returning land to the people after using it first, plus interest, they will only be able to work for us for free within five years.
This time, their trophies were seized by us. If they want to raise cattle, horses, sheep, etc., they can only take credit from us first, and then pay them back slowly.
Calculating this, in the next ten years, they can only serve one house! "
"hiss……"
Sun Chengzong's calculations not only shocked himself, but also the generals in the big tent were stunned.
If this is really implemented, the Mongolian tribes will be completely abolished in the future.
Fifty taels for a three-sided courtyard, and nine thousand taels for a three-sided courtyard is 450,000 taels, which can completely cover the cost of its completion.
Listening to Sun Chengzong's account, Chongzhen also nodded secretly. His mind turned quickly and he immediately understood his intention.
But it was still not comprehensive enough, so he said softly: "Sun Aiqing, I will add two more points. You guys can see if it is feasible.
First, build a street horizontally and vertically through the city, with shops on both sides, such as restaurants, inns, rice shops, mountain goods, fur shops, etc.
The first is to meet the daily necessities of the herdsmen, and the second is to purchase medicinal materials, furs, etc. obtained from the labor of the herdsmen.
These shops are rented by merchants in the Ming Dynasty, or herdsmen can rent them, but remember that they only rent and not sell, or they may take commissions ranging from half to 20% according to the silver they trade.
Of course, the draw was not in vain. In order to prevent the caravan from encountering bandits and wolves, the Guihua City garrison accompanied them for security. This not only ensured the safety of the caravan, but also served as a training exercise. "
hiss……
Everyone gasped.
The emperor's idea was too bold. If the store width was ten meters, excluding intersections, etc., there would be at least 500 stores. Based on the calculation of 10 taels per year, it would be 5,000 taels per year.
It doesn't look like much, but as long as Guihua City is there, the shops on these two streets are like old hens laying golden eggs, with rents being recorded every year.
The rent of ten liang is not high. You must know that this is a fur, medicinal materials, etc. business. The source is purchased directly and shipped back to the Ming Dynasty. The profit is at least five or six times the purchase price, or even more.
It would be even more terrifying if the commission was calculated based on the transaction amount!
Not to mention, there will be business taxes and so on in the future.
The key thing is that the land deed is in the hands of the court. In the future, whether it is re-planned or used for other purposes, it can make a direct decision.
After seeing that everyone understood his idea, Chongzhen continued: "Second, build several three- to five-story inns and restaurants in the city. Standing on the restaurants, you can see the entire city of Guihua, and you can see dozens of people in a radius. Scenes from the grassland,
Just imagine, sitting in a restaurant, eating the freshest and tenderest roasted whole lamb in the grassland, drinking the grassland's koumiss, yogurt, and butter tea, listening to the grassland-specific music and dance, and looking out the window at dozens of miles of wind-swept grass. The scene of lowly seeing cattle and sheep,
After eating and drinking, go out to the city and rent some horses and ride them wildly. Do you like this feeling? "
"This is just a temporary plan. It will take at least two or three years for the entire Guihua City to be completed. By then, I estimate that I will have conquered the surrounding tribes, and even sealed the wolf in Xu, and the horse to drink from the vast sea.
Build a road in Daqing Mountain that leads directly to Khalkha and connects various tribes. By then, there will be another Silk Road from Langjuxu Mountain to Beijing City, and Daqing Mountain is a must-go place. There will definitely be no shortage of merchants.
Moreover, the world will be peaceful in the future, and more people will come out to play. They are used to seeing mountains, rivers, and rivers. Do you want to come to the grassland to see it? Enjoy the fun of roasting a whole lamb and riding a horse? "
"Of course, this will require changes to some of the court's policies, such as road diversion, sealing and control, etc. But we can plan first, and we can't wait until it's completed and then think about it. It's a waste of time!"
quiet!
It was extremely quiet in the big tent.
Everyone was dumbfounded. The emperor's idea was even bolder and more advanced than the previous one.
But it has to be said that if the emperor's idea is realized, these restaurants and inns will definitely be overcrowded and the money will be made every day.
And, the likelihood of success is high.
In fact, these are still based on transportation. If the steam engine is built, then these will be easier to achieve.
The imperial court was a one-size-fits-all in several respects.
The first commercial real estate in Ming Dynasty came out like this.
"Your Majesty is so talented that I and others cannot match him!"
After a while, Sun Chengzong woke up and saluted Chongzhen, his face full of admiration.
The generals were shocked and convinced, and their eyes were filled with excitement.
With such a versatile emperor controlling the Ming Dynasty, the prosperous age of the Ming Dynasty is just around the corner!
"Sun Aiqing, the two points I just mentioned, Yang Qingyun will be here in a few days, you can discuss it carefully and come up with a feasible plan.
House prices, taxes, commissions, etc. all require detailed planning! "
"I accept the decree!"
"Also, remember, this method can only be controlled by the court, private individuals are absolutely not allowed to do it.
It's not that I'm greedy, but it's very risky. It's easy for private companies to give up halfway, set prices inappropriately, etc., and it's difficult for the court to control it. "
"I understand!"
After Sun Chengzong responded, he submitted another memorandum: "Your Majesty, this is a sample of the imperial edict drafted by the cabinet for Tumut. Please take a look at it!"
