Chapter 475

Fan Zhijin, who had been working at Pang Kuan's house for almost a year after entering the Nei Provincial Department, borrowed a broken carriage and loaded it with a silver tin of 2,000 taels. He came to the front of the Republic Building early in the morning to queue up to buy a house.

After working in the family of Pangdadu (who is even older than Dumai, he was promoted after Empress Dowager Xiang’s death), Fan Zhijin actually saved up a fortune that he could not even imagine when he was a talented man in Yanggu County!

That much money is certainly not the salary that Pang Kuankai gave him. His salary in the Pang family was based on the salary of the ninth-rank Jiangshilang, which is 12 yuan a month and 144 yuan a year. There is no additional subsidy or reward, but food and accommodation are all free.

As for his job in the Pang family, he taught several Pang Xiaolangjun from Daming Mansion to study, and also served as Pang Kuan's clerk, copying and writing, and he had no real power.

But I don’t know what happened, but people put private friends, salt and tea in his hands every now and then... There are often some officials, eunuchs, and merchants who come to see him, the countryside, and speak famous words (Yanggu County is next to Daming Mansion, and the accents of the two places are very close. In order to pretend to be famous, Fan Zhijin can imitate Daming accents), they all think that they are Pang Kuan’s close relatives. So, the meeting ceremony of fifty-one hundred was stuffed, and they don’t want Fan Xiucai to do anything, just ask him not to do anything bad.

Within a year, Fan Zhijin became richer and had two or three thousand yuan left in his hand. This was a bit of a disaster, and he would have a blessing in the future! Those who passed the Jinshi, unless they married a daughter who had paid the wrong daughter, could save two or three thousand yuan in less than a year? Even being a corrupt official is not so fast!

Moreover, the officials' corruption and bribery are under the control of the Censorate. Fan Zhijin, a tutor, cannot control the Censorate.

Fan Zhijin was a filial son again. With some money in his hand, he thought of his mother and son who were still suffering in Liangshanpo. So he took advantage of the New Year to visit Yunzhou, contacted Zhao Tieniu, and asked him to tell Chief Chao and Chief Song.

After returning to Kaifeng Prefecture, he saw the tricks of Wanjia Real Estate in the album "The Courtesan", so he decided to buy a 2,000-yuan two-bedroom suite in Fengqiu Gate to live in for my mother and son. He then settled his family's residence in Kaifeng Prefecture, so that he could take the Kaifeng Prefecture exam in two years and avoid going back to Daming Prefecture.

But what he didn't expect was that in this magical place in Kaifeng Prefecture, there were so many people who could bring a cart of evil money to buy a small house! There was no queue in the middle of the night, nor did he go to the back door (he knew that Wanjia Real Estate was Wu Haogu's industry, so how could he dare to go to the back door?). Fan Zhijin, who looked at the long and endless team ahead, was a little stunned.

There are so many people who want to buy a house. Can the house in Wu Haogu's profiteer be sold? No, I have to count it...

...

The team of buying houses finally began to move forward, but the speed of movement was not fast. Because Wu Haogu set rules on tricks, he only accepted the personal friends from Yinying and the Pan family's gold, silver and silk exchange shop (because the price of salt and tea exchange fluctuates greatly, and it is too troublesome to count copper coins). Most home buyers did not save money at the Pan family's gold, silver and silk exchange shop, so they came with boxes of silver, and silver exchange shop, and Yinying had to be checked one by one, so the transaction was relatively slow.

By the way, although there was no inflow of silver from the Americas at this time, there were still tens of millions of taels of silver on the market in Kaifeng Prefecture. Therefore, silver calenders have become a settlement tool commonly used in bulk transactions.

Another reason why the transaction was slow was to sign the contract on site. The contract was purchased from Kaifeng Prefecture, and the public officials from Kaifeng Prefecture were invited to testify on site. The procedures were very complete. In addition, the Wanjiaxing staff was arranged to explain to each customer who bought a house the process of prepaying the deposit, delivering the property and paying the full payment - after all, it is probably the first time in the Northern Song Dynasty that the sale of the pre-sale house was necessary to explain it clearly to others.

But no matter how you explain it, there is no way to create enough real estate to satisfy everyone. The plates released today are just a few, including 100 sets of Shikumen, 240 sets of sub-buildings, and 80 shops, with a total of 420 units. At least one-third of them are open for the back door to a related household. There are less than 300 sets left, of which less than 240 sets of residential units...

But this is not enough to make a difference!

Just as the line in front was getting shorter and shorter, it was about to be Fan Zhijin's turn, I suddenly saw a fat man wearing a green official uniform coming out of the Republic Building with a few servants holding a plate of unknown posts. While walking, he also bowed to the people in line. He also picked up posts from the servants from time to time and presented them with both hands.

This fat man was the shopkeeper of the Republic and Wanjia Real Estate (now that Christie's has Li Tang and Mo Niangzi took over). Su Dalang, he also had an official position in the third rank of the ninth rank, and he gave it to him when he married his wife. He married the county lord of the Zhao family, and there was no dowry, and he had to offer a large betrothal gift. The advantage was to give a ninth rank of martial artists. So today he came out in military uniform and greeted a group of customers who had not bought a house.

But even though he was the shopkeeper of the largest business in Kaifeng Prefecture and the son-in-law of the Zhao family, there were still many people who came to buy a house today and the old men of the Three Imperial Guards who were here to buy a house today.

"Why is it gone?"

"You Republicans cannot bully customers! How much has it sold?"

"Yes, we all came to queue up early in the morning with silver. The northwest wind drank for two or three hours. It was just around the corner, but why was it gone?"

"You can sell it without a house! Don't think that you can bully people if you have a big shop in the Republic..."

Su Dalang didn't know how awesome he was at his level in later generations. In Kaifeng Prefecture in the Song Dynasty, no matter how big the merchants were, they could not forget the rules of making good fortune. So Su Dalang was not angry when he was criticized, and kept accompanying him to explain.

"Yes, yes, all... Everyone comes to buy a house with so much money, how could it be that there isn't?"

Su Dalang first calmed down the hearts of the people, and then said with a smile on his face: "But our Republicans did not expect that the house would be so easy to sell... Isn't this the first time? So I was not prepared enough. However, if you didn't buy a house this time, you will definitely buy it next time. You can leave a name and a residence. When you have a house next time, our Republicans will definitely send someone to your door, and you won't have to worry about it."

This is reasonable, but I don’t know when the promises I made will be fulfilled. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are empty words.

In this way, the little military officer who was granted the imperial guards, and the little civil servant who was a Jinshi were embarrassed to make a fuss on the street, but he could not deceive Fan Zhijin, who had long seen through the ancient martial arts businessman, who was adulterer of Wu Hao.

He just counted the carriages lined up in front, with only 200 cars all the way up... There are 400 properties to be sold today!

How could it be gone?

It must be the tyrant businessman Wu Haogu who saw that the house was easy to sell and wanted to cover up the house and rush it to go!

"No!" Fan Zhijin immediately started yelling, "I just counted it, there were only 253 carriages in total. How could it be possible to sell 420 houses? Is your Wu Dalang looking at the house being easy to sell and keeps up the price?"

It doesn't matter if he keeps his throat. The customers who had been fooled by Su Dalang also realized something was wrong for a moment and started yelling.

"Yes, are you going to raise the price?"

"You fools, you, dare to deceive customers like this!"

"Where is Wu Dalang? Ask him to come out and say it clearly!"

"If he doesn't make it clear, we will go to Kaifeng Prefecture to sue him!"

"Say him! Go and sue him..."

The scene that was almost obscured is now in chaos for no reason.

However, when he went to Kaifeng Prefecture to sue, Wu Haogu was not afraid... As a profiteer whose soul traveled from later generations, Wu Haogu still had a strong sense of legal system. He would not rely on Zhao Ji's backstage to throw the laws of the Song Dynasty aside.

After Christie's became bigger, he paid a lot of money to hire a "legal team" and the ten best lawyers in Kaifeng Prefecture, either being hired by the Republican Bank full-time or working part-time in the Republican Bank. All contractual reasons for the Republican Bank, including all subordinate businesses, were drafted by these gold medals.

Not to mention going to Kaifeng Prefecture to sue, even going to Dali Temple to sue, the Republican Revolution will win successfully... And the Republican Revolution really sold out the house, and even broke the king's law after all sold out?

But in the Song Dynasty, there were not only laws, but also blue sky!

Qingtian Lu Jia asked at this time that he was still in the reception hall to drink tea and chat with people happily! The topic of today's chat was "official business", which was what Lu Jia asked the most.

And in the afternoon, An Tao, who recommended him as the Minister of Taifu Temple, also came to pick up Guanting. Both of them advocated official business and business together, and that was endless.

Although the implementation effect of the "City Change Law" in Xining and Yuanfeng period was not satisfactory, Lu Jiawen and An Tao still believed that this great law was the most commendable new law in Xining's new policy.

It is also a panacea to solve the economic and national defense problems of the Song Dynasty - because the root causes of the economic and national defense problems of the Song Dynasty, in their view, is caused by excessive development of private industry and commerce and excessive land mergers.

The development of industry and commerce is the root of land annexation! Merchants or officials engaged in industry and commerce will buy land in large quantities when they have money, and will also operate prices, hoard goods, and issue usury, forcing farmers to go bankrupt in large quantities, and the land will become increasingly concentrated.

The concentration of land makes the township military system unable to be implemented, and the country has to spend huge amounts of money to support the military, thus falling into an unextinguishable financial quagmire.

Therefore, the key to solving all problems is official business!
