It started to snow in the third year of junior high school.

But Wu Haogu, who had been sniffing for a while in the early morning, was attending a banquet to entertain the envoys of Goryeo Kingdom, Wang Xia and Wu Yanchong in Qionglin Garden.

In the original order, after we had served as an envoy of the Liao Kingdom on the first day of the Chinese New Year, we should have a banquet to entertain the envoys of the Western Xia Kingdom on the second day of the Chinese New Year. The three countries of Goryeo, Dali and Annan Kingdom were the three countries. However, in recent years, Goryeo's status in the diplomacy of the Northern Song Dynasty has become increasingly prominent, and now it has become the head of the northern house of the Privy Council like the Liao Kingdom.

This year, the date of hosting a banquet to entertain envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom was even advanced to the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the banquet was held separately, and the treatment was the same as that of the Liao envoys.

This seems to be a powerful country that can be regarded as an equal to the Liao and Song dynasties.

In addition, before today's banquet began, the Goryeo Mission received 1,000 volumes.

So Wang Xia and Wu Yanchong were in a very good mood today. The attitude of the Song Dynasty seemed to show support for Goryeo!

Now, just waiting for the sick Yelu Hongji to die, the Kingdom of Goryeo will be able to take all the daughters of Helandian for their own use.

With these daughter-born tribes, the Kingdom of Goryeo will have many cavalry that can fight. The next step will be to conquer the daughter-born Changbai Mountain tribe and Yalu River tribe... The next step is to take over the old land of Goguryo!

Such a grand ideal is of course the state secret of Wang's Goryeo. No one should mention it at today's state banquet.

But Wu Yanchong still took advantage of the spirit of the immortal in the wine and said some ambiguous words, such as "Song Li Alliance", such as "Three Kingdoms", such as "Galleon in the east, Great Liao in the north, and Great Song in the south".

In Wu Haogu, it sounds like a sleep and drunken conversation. Although the military strength of the Goryeo Kingdom is a little stronger than the current Song Dynasty, the future belongs to the Jurchens and Mongolians who are cheating...

However, the Holy Lord Song Huizong took it seriously. After the banquet, he was walking in the snow with Wu Haogu, and talked about the possibility of Lianli in the future to build Liao.

"Your Majesty, the military strength of a country cannot be determined by population and taxes, but by how many elite troops this country can maintain. With the prosperity and prosperity of our Song Dynasty, the war is only more than 50,000 of the Western Army's useful combat soldiers.

The Liao Kingdom had 100,000 palace branches and tens of thousands of elite tribes. There were less than 20,000 elite troops in the Han army, totaling 150,000 to 160,000.

As for the Nao-tei who was a enemy of Goryeo, there were about 10,000 to 20,000 brave barbarians born in the snowy field in Linhai... In fact, their combat power is probably not below the elite of the Western Army!"

Wu Haogu naturally wanted to instill some powerful words into Song Huizong. Oh, and he did not say that the female lead was too powerful. In fact, the 20,000 elite female leads were enough to defeat the more than 100,000 palace divisions and tribal troops of the Liao Kingdom. The Western Army of the Song Dynasty was no match for it at all.

"Is the woman so powerful?" Zhao Ji was a little disbelieved.

When you go to the Ministry of Five Kingdoms to watch the snow, you will know that they are amazing! Then you will not be so interested in enjoying the snow!

Wu Haogu thought this in his heart, but said patiently: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, seeing is true.

If Your Majesty wants to know the strength of the girl and the strength of Goryeo, it is best to send someone to watch the battle."

"Watch the battle?" Zhao Ji turned around and looked at Wu Haogu, and asked with a smile, "Dalang, do you want to go?"

"No, no, no," Wu Haogu shook his head quickly, "I am a businessman and do not understand military strategies... Your Majesty should send envoys who are proficient in military strategies to Goryeo, and witness the battle between the two armies with their own eyes. It is best to send a painter to draw spy paintings."

"You're right."

Song Huizong nodded gently, "Who should I send?"

"Zhang Shuye and Tong Guan are both proficient in military strategies, Wenlin Lang and Chen Youwen painted spy paintings, and they happened to be sent to Goryeo."

"I heard that Chen Youwen had a holiday with you?" Zhao Ji stopped at this time and looked at Wu Haogu and asked. "You recommend him to go to Goryeo now. Isn't it a public revenge?"

Wu Haogu smiled and bowed, "Your Majesty is wise. I just want Chen Youwen to suffer a little, but Chen Youwen is indeed competent for the responsibility of spy painting."

"Haha." Zhao Ji laughed proudly. He knew that he was wise and Wu Haogu's tricks were not enough to see.

Zhao Ji asked again: "You want to take over the land of Dutingyi, but I think it's just for huge profits? Tell me how much money can you make?"

"Ten Thousand." Wu Haogu replied truthfully, "It takes 2 million to buy land, demolish houses and prepare land, and it takes thousands to build that land. That land can be built at least 3.8-400 townhouses, which costs hundreds of thousands, and after selling it, you can get 4-4.5 million to 4.5 million... After deducting various taxes and miscellaneous expenses, it can be 1.5 million or even million."

"Can 380-400 houses be built?" Zhao Ji frowned, "How crowded is that?"

"It's really crowded." Wu Haogu smiled bitterly, "Kaifeng Prefecture has always been a difficult house. Before I became rich, I was considered a wealthy family, and there was only a small courtyard, huddled with my father, brother, mother and an old lady... With such a house, most officials in Kaifeng Prefecture can't afford to live in! Even my teacher, Mr. Dongpo and Mr. Dongpo's younger brother, Mr. Su Xianggong, were unable to buy a house in Kaifeng Prefecture, let alone others?"

The ancestors of the Wuhao Gu family were Wu Zongyuan, a great painter, or a civil servant of the sixth rank. How could ordinary officials compare with him? So they could leave mansions and shops for their descendants in Kaifeng Prefecture City. Moreover, when Wu Zongyuan was an official, the housing prices in Kaifeng Prefecture were not as high as those in later years. Wu Zongyuan was an official in the Zhenzong era. At that time, the prices were low, and the housing prices in Kaifeng Prefecture were not as outrageous as later.

Zhao Ji also sighed: "Yes, my ancestors once said in a poem: There is a golden house in the book. But now even the prime minister cannot buy a residence in Kaifeng Prefecture... The housing prices in Kaifeng Prefecture are indeed too expensive! It would be great if I had a way to make the housing prices fall."

Not to mention that Song Huizong really had a way to reduce housing prices, and it would take 900 years to reduce it!

Of course, Wu Haogu could not tell the truth to Song Huizong. He said: "That is why I plan to build some compact houses to sell them to officials who are not rich in official positions, so that they can have their own residence in Kaifeng Prefecture."

"Oh? Are those townhouses?"

"There are even smaller ones." Wu Haogu said, "Does Your Majesty still remember the three-story building next to Huaxian Temple and the four-story Republic Building?"

"Remember." Zhao Ji was stunned, "But those two houses are very big."

"It is very big to live in one household. If it is divided into dozens of suites and housed for dozens of households, it will not be big."

"Do dozens of families?" Zhao Ji asked, "How to live?"

"Of course, there are several rooms for each family," Wu Haogu explained. "Two bedrooms, a small hall and a kitchen built on the back balcony are the residences of four or five people."

The design of the "Tongzi Building" is now more reasonable. The "experimental building" next to Huaxian Temple is still valuable, allowing Wu Haogu and Huang Silang to discover many problems.

The original design of one staircase and three households was cancelled, and the staircase was moved outside the main body of the building. A shared rear balcony with up and down staircases and the entire floor was built behind the building. The rear balcony was also the location of the passage and the kitchen, and the drainage pipes of the building were also built there.

Although the back of the house is ugly and it is inevitable that someone will build it randomly, it is relatively simple to build and repair it easily. The cooking fume will not float around and there is no leakage protection problem.

"How much does such a house cost?" Song Huizong asked again.

"If it is built on the land of Dutingyi, it will always be seven or eight thousand pieces."

"It's still very expensive!" Song Huizong shook his head, "Officers who have just entered the government can afford to eat or drink for a year."

If history has not changed, it will not take 40 years... 26 years are enough!

"So I plan to ask officials of my background to pay in installments to buy a building suite." Wu Haogu smiled, "I will give them a discount and pay it back every year, which will only cost 300 yuan a year. If I can pay 2,000 yuan a year, it will be 200 yuan a year."

"It's still expensive," said Zhao Ji, "but there is always hope."

Wu Haoguze said: "That's the land of Dutingyi is too expensive, that's the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture! If you go to the outer city, you can have such a suite at the cheapest price of 2,000 yuan."

"Then go to the outer city to build some such houses so that my officials can live in a humble room."

Song Huizong still felt sorry for the corrupt officials under his command... In fact, Wu Haogu's tube building was not very easy to sell in the end, but "Shikumen" sold well!

A house worth 20,000 to 30,000 yuan was basically affordable for officials in the Song Dynasty. After passing the Jinshi, they could get tens of thousands of yuan if they were caught by the son-in-law. They would have to embezzle and accept bribes in the future. They would be as officials as Su Dongpo’s brothers, and it would not be so difficult to take the Jinshi exam.

"Your Majesty," said Wu Haogu, "it's just that kind of suite in the building, which cannot be sold separately now..."

“Why?”

"Because this is a house being sold, it is difficult to establish a house deed and a land deed, so there must be a rule."

Song Huizong smiled and said, "That's easy to do, let Kaifeng Prefecture do it."

By the way, someone suggested that the store and housekeeping rob your business! Are you willing to let it go?"

Wu Haogu was stunned, as if he had just heard about this, "This... can the store and housekeeping department also take out 2 million yuan at a time?"

"I didn't ask about this." Zhao Ji received a report from Liu Ai and he and Liu Youfang. Liu Ai had a good relationship. They both sent Zhao Ji many calligraphy, painting, and literature.

Wu Haogu asked again: "Then is the shop and housekeeper who is willing to build a house for officials who do not have a house in Kaifeng Prefecture and Jinshi?"

Zhao Ji thought about it and shook his head, but he didn't ask about it.
