Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Laba is the new year.

Suddenly news came from the palace that Concubine Xue Gui died suddenly.

The capital, which was originally beaming because of the approaching new year, seemed to have been splashed with cold water and instantly cooled.

The death of Xue Guifei brought back memories from a few months ago. In that palace change, many people died.

Just a Jingxi camp was almost paralyzed by the beating.

During that time, every family in the capital seemed to have funerals.

Also, the two thousand Sirius Army led by Pei Meng lived in Jingxi Camp. I heard that I practiced all day and never slackened.

Everyone came back to their senses, and if the Sirius Army did not leave, the palace change would not be over.

Whoops, can this year pass?

Don't take a few days, the capital is going to be bloody.

"No! The prince has already stood up, and he certainly won't be messed up. Concubine Xue Gui died, that death deserved it."

Early in the morning, low-rank officials from the Ministry of Households gathered for small talk.

"Of course, Concubine Xue Gui died well, but why did the palace report a sudden death? Are other reasons not good?"

"Who knows! Maybe your majesty didn't want the life of Concubine Xue, but Concubine Xue couldn't think about it."

"Ahem..."

"My lord is here."

"See your lord."

"I'm all here to do something, but I don't hurry to do something."

Hubu Shangshu sullen his face without anger.

There is still time to gather together to chat and gossip, it seems that there are still too few errands. Arrange more errands for them.

Hubu Shangshu has been a little worried recently.

Tianzi's physical condition was deteriorating and he could no longer get out of bed.

Maybe sometime...

The emperor Jinkou Yuyan demanded that the funeral be run wildly.

The money for funeral treatment must be paid by the household.

But the household bank is too empty to run mice. Where can I find five to six hundred thousand taels for the emperor's funeral?

Next year's tax and silver will be allocated a long time ago, and there will be no money left. The salary of the Beijing official is still in arrears, and the New Year is almost coming, so I have to make up for this year's salary and let everyone have a less shabby New Year.

Money and money, he was almost worried.

They are all finance and taxation departments, and the next door is rich and rich, but the household department is too poor.

The master knew what was sad about the Hubu Shangshu, and gave him an idea, "My lord, the Huhu has no money, but there is a lot of money outside the Nancheng gate. For such a big construction site, several million taels of money have been invested in it. Two hundred thousand and two are just waiting."

The Hubu Shangshu snorted, "Don't worry about how much money there is outside the South City Gate, it is not from the Huhubu."

The master has a three-inch color, "My lord, please order to establish a county. Before the new year, the county government should be erected, and the first amount of silver can be collected from the Nancheng gate after the opening of the year.

After that, all kinds of taxes and fees are collected, which is not a small amount of income. The lower officials heard that the bazaar outside the Nancheng Gate was extremely red, and merchants from all over the world went there to do business, and the daily amount of in and out was amazing.

But because there is no county, the land is still owned by Mrs. Zhao. The taxpayer can only ask Mrs. Zhao to collect her tax and silver, the tax on the market, and the tax on the refugees who have registered permanent residences. . These are all white flowers. "

Seeing the white silver wafting by, but unable to take it up, the master was very hurt and heartache.

Also heartbroken is the Hubu Shangshu.

He asked Master, "The bazaar outside the South City Gate is really hot?"

"The officials did not dare to deceive the adults. The market was crowded with people every day and they were rushing to buy cheap and high-quality goods. Even many people in the capital would rather go seven or eight miles and go outside the Nancheng Gate. Bazaar shopping. Many businesses in the capital are complaining that their business has been robbed."

Hubu Shangshu thought for a while, "Send someone to prepare a cart and horse, and the officer must go and take a look outside the Nancheng Gate in person."

The master smiled happily and quickly asked people to prepare.

After Hubu Shangshu got on the carriage, he left the city directly from the Nancheng Gate.

After leaving the city gate, not far away is the shack area where the refugees gather.

In the past, Hubu Shangshu had been here several times, but at that time it was all for relief.

Since Gu Jiu runs the Nancheng Gate, he has never been here.

The shack area, which was messy and messy in memory, was so disgusting that I could vomit it out overnight, and it was incredibly clean.

The children running and jumping in the shack are all wearing thick cotton-padded clothes and cotton shoes on their feet.

Compared with the tragic scene of countless refugees who died of freezing and starvation every day, it was simply a world.

He still remembers that when he visited here last winter, there were also children running and jumping on the road.

The child was dressed in single clothes, barefoot, with a runny nose, and was dirty. Looking at people, they all showed hungry cannibalism, and they also carried bitter hatred.

Those children have hated the government since they were young.

In just one year, in the same place, the same refugee children, all of them were smiling and smiling happily.

They were wearing thick cotton-padded clothes and newly made cotton shoes, running and playing on the clean and tidy ground, carefree.

The child's eyes are no longer craving for food, they have got rid of hunger and are full of hope for the future.

The Hubu Shangshu got off the carriage and refused to let the carriage follow. He only brought a few entourages with the masters.

He focused on the shack area.

The shack area is half smaller than remembered.

The place that was originally full of garbage dumps has been enclosed by a fence, and inside the fence are houses that have been built.

The master said to the side, "My lord, this is the second phase of the project. It will be sold to the outside world, mainly for the needs of the residents of Beijing."

Hubu Shangshu hummed, "Have the house sold?"

As they were talking, a group of neatly dressed minions walked out of the gate of the second phase with a smile.

The Hubu Shangshu directly stepped forward, "Excuse me, who can I look for to buy a house?"

"Are you also here to buy a house? Unfortunately, you are late. The first batch of houses in the second phase were sold out half a month ago. We are here to get the keys today and we will start moving tomorrow. In the new house."

"You all bought the houses inside?" Hubu Shangshu was a little surprised.

These people are all neatly dressed. But looking at the clothes, the shoe surface, and the appearance, you know that they are all small people in the capital, doing a day's work to earn a day's money. The money earned is only enough to eat and drink, so there is no money to buy a house.

"The house here is good, sturdy and cheap, and surrounded by walls. It's not far from the South City Gate. Of course you have to buy it if you have money."

"There are three generations of eleven people in my family. They are crowded in two rooms. There is really no place to stay. When the children are older, they have to buy a new house when they want to kiss each other. At least they must have a separate house. .Otherwise, the girl would refuse to marry."

Hubu Shangshu tried to ask: "The houses here are not cheap!"

"Of course it's not cheap. It costs more than a hundred taels for one building. Fortunately, you can buy a house with a loan. You can get the keys to move into the new house by paying twelve taels of capital from the capital."

"Loan interest is so high..."

"It's not high, it's not high." An old man interrupted Hubu Shangshu. "Now many banks are learning from Shaofu banks, and the monthly interest is only one and five percent. This is already very cheap. But the mortgage is cheaper than this. How much interest does the government release in a year?"

"The annual interest is three and five percent."

Hubu Shangshu and the entourage behind him all took a breath.

The interest is only three-and-a-half percent a year, which is more than a conscience price, it is simply a loss-making business.

For a house of one hundred and twenty, even if the loan is ten or eight years, the interest is only tens of taels.

No wonder the Xiaomin in the capital, with only a few pennies in his hand, dares to buy a house.

The old man was cheerful, obviously happy that the group of people in front of him was shocked.

"You are all from other places. Many people like you have heard such low interest rates. They all look like this. But you didn't happen to come here. The houses here are already sold out. If you want to buy, you have to wait until next spring. Only when a new house is launched."

"Thanks for letting me know." Hubu Shangshu said politely.

"No thanks. You can go in and stroll around. There is a model room for you to watch."

Hubu Shangshu walked into the second phase gate with curiosity.

The second phase is divided into two parts, one side is the construction site, separated by wooden boards. On one side are neat rows of small second floors that have been built.

Find the model house, go in and visit.

From the perspective of Hubu Shangshu, the house does not have any beauty at all, but it is strong, exquisite and compact, and has everything it should.

Each suite comes with at least four bedrooms and as many as seven or eight bedrooms. Enough for a family.

Due to the different prices, some houses have small gardens and wells. Such houses cost more than two hundred taels of silver. In terms of prices in Beijing, they are still frighteningly cheap.

Some houses have only a small patio for lighting, and no wells. You have to go to a public well to fetch water. Such a house, which only cost a hundred to two, is still frighteningly cheap.

Inside the house, large white walls were all painted.

Houses, like soldiers lined up, are neatly arranged together.

"This Gu Jiu really thought through."

Hubu Shangshu sighed with emotion.

The master said: "The small house with a garden here is not bad. At such a cheap price, the officials are a little excited and want to buy one. If you don't live, you can rent it."

The other entourage nodded repeatedly, and they had the same idea.

The house is solid, neatly planned and beautiful. Small, small, but the sparrow is small and has five internal organs.

It’s not expensive to buy a few more than a hundred taels. It’s great to buy a few buildings here and rent them to merchants traveling from north to south, or to go to Beijing.

The Hubu Shangshu laughed, "The officer is a little moved by what you said. Let's go and take a look at the first phase of the project."

The master hurriedly introduced, "All the people living in the first phase are refugees, and half of them have already lived in. The next official inquired that according to Mrs. Zhao's plan, the shack area will be demolished by the beginning of the spring next year, and all the refugees must buy houses and move out. No. If you buy a house, you cannot work on the construction site to make money."

"To deal with this group of refugees, Gu Jiu uses one set after another. She wants to demolish the shack, so she is not afraid of the refugees making trouble?"

The master laughed, "It is certainly not afraid. Those refugees have long been tamed by the guards under Madam Zhao."

Oh?

Hubu Shangshu was full of curiosity.
