"This Kuan'er has never let me worry! During the Tang Dynasty Royal Science and Technology Award, it made a lot of big talk, and then it was all kinds of trouble. Look at the memorials that impeached him on this table are already piled up."

Li Shimin threw a memorial on the imperial table and pressed his temple speechlessly.

Being an emperor is really hard work.

This made him not favor the concubines in the palace recently.

"Your Majesty, the things that happened to the railway in Ming Dynasty may not have a direct relationship with His Highness the King of Chu. Although Nanshan Construction is the property of the King of Chu's Mansion, no one can do anything that the people below do, and they have to bear all the things that the King of Chu has come down to bear."

Li Zhong expressed his opinions carefully, and at the same time, he watched the changes in Li Shimin's expression and adjusted the content of his speech at any time.

There is no way, being with the king is like being with the tiger. Even an old man like Li Zhong still feels this way.

"Hmph, those troublemakers have been struggling for two days, and Nanshan Construction has not come up with any decent plans; but the afternoon before yesterday, he attacked hard in an instant and sent all the people to the ships heading to Puluo on the same day.

If there is no Kuan'er's instructions here, I don't believe that the people of Nanshan Construction Engineering dare to be so brave. If they have the courage to do such a thing, they don't have to waste two days."

Li Shimin obviously disagrees with Li Zhong's explanation.

"Your Majesty is wise! On the morning of the previous day, Liu Yuan, the head of Nanshan Construction, went to the Chu Palace to meet His Highness, and it is likely that he reported the problems encountered during the construction of the Mingzuo Railway."

Li Shimin had already said this, so Li Zhong naturally did not dare to speak for Li Kuan again.

If Li Shimin feels that he is Li Kuan's person, then his position as the leader of the Hundred Riding Division will be in danger.

The most important thing is for those who do such work. Once the emperor doesn’t believe you, his life will be over, and even his life safety will not be guaranteed.

"I'll just say it! I'm throwing people to Nanyang so simply and roughly. If there is no support from Kuan'er, the people in Nanshan Construction Engineering have such courage? If this is the case, then this matter really needs to be checked carefully."

"Your Majesty, what should I do now? People have been sent to Nanyang, but I can't catch them anymore! The controversial houses and fields have now been flattened, even if they want to recover.

Of course, Nanshan Construction also compensated the money that should be compensated to the relevant personnel, and did not occupy the people's houses and fields there for nothing."

Without Li Shimin's will, Li Zhong would not dare to arrange work related to the Chu Prince's Mansion at will for the Baiqisi.

"The construction of the Mingzuo Railway is related to the future railway development strategy of the Tang Dynasty. I also want to see early whether the railway is really as good as Kuan'er said, whether the steam locomotive was as convenient as the test ride that day, and whether the people accept this new thing.

Those rascals who were morally degraded and deliberately delayed the construction of the Ming railway. Now they were sent to Nanyang, it was considered a crime. As for the more rude methods, there is no need to be too entangled."

While Li Shimin was talking, he glanced at a memorial on the table, which was considered to have reached a conclusion on this matter.

There is no way, who asked the Nanshan Construction Workers to do what is in line with Li Shimin's wishes?

The delay in the construction of the Ming Dynasty railway affected not only the Chu Palace, but also the future of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin already clearly felt that his health was not as good as before. Although the imperial physician said that he was still tough, he was also worried that he would not be able to do it one day.

Therefore, it is inevitable that you will be more impatient when doing things.

"That's true. Those houses and fields were purchased just a few days ago. Those who wanted to buy them at a low price and then sold them at a very high price. The thing that was blocked was that Nanshan Construction Engineering could not afford the construction period. But they didn't expect that Nanshan Construction Engineering was so tough, so they arranged them directly to the labor service company and sent them to Puluo regardless of the situation.

If you really report this matter to the yamen, it will be hard to win Nanshan Construction. After all, there are those ruffian handprints in the labor service company, indicating that they took the initiative to add people."

Although Li Zhong knew that Song Shan and the others were definitely taken on the initiative.

But what does this matter?

As long as Nanshan Construction provides everyone with a step forward, this matter will naturally be easier to handle.

I am afraid that the people who are working in Nanshan Construction will beat the thugs to death on the scene and then forcefully demolish them. The nature will be completely different.

At that time, even if the censor does not impeach Nanshan Construction, Li Zhong will report to Li Shimin.

"Let's just do this for now. Don't worry too much. People outside will do whatever they want. After a few days, the matter will naturally be over."

"Subordinate to obey the order!"

...

The Mingzuo Railway has just begun to be built, but the housing prices in the Workshop City have begun to move.

It’s not that the wealthy and wealthy businessmen in Chang'an City have the same sharp vision as Yang Benman, and they see that there is still room for the housing prices in Shufang City to continue to rise, but the sales office of Shufang City itself started promoting it.

"Arriving at Mingde Gate in half an hour! Distance is no longer a problem!"

"The new Junjing Garden in the Shufangcheng is shocking, you can earn it if you buy it!"

"High-quality educational resources and rich employment opportunities, you can go to the workshop city when you buy a house!"

Since the construction of the Mingzuo Railway officially started, there have been more advertisements in the sales office of the Workshop City.

Although after so many years of development, the Workshop City is no longer a deserted area as it was before.

However, 30 to 40% of the large amount of land that was exchanged for one breath that year have not been developed.

These lands are continuously delivering high profits to the Chu Prince's Mansion.

Otherwise, Li Kuan would not have the confidence to directly invest in the construction of the Mingzuo Railway.

In the 18th year of Zhenguan when steel production had not yet completely exploded, the Mingzuo Railway was built, and it was really a matter of using money to lay it on the ground.

"Mei Niang, Li Kuan is also a thief. As soon as the Mingzuo Railway started construction, he took out a brand new property in the Workshop City to sell. The money received from the sale of the building is enough to build this section of railway, right?"

In front of Junjing Garden, Gu Panpan and Wu Meiniang were lying on the window of the four-wheeled carriage, looking at the scene outside.

How great are the benefits of railways? Few people can tell clearly.

However, the Workshop City has launched a new property, which has attracted the attention of many people.

Gu Panpan, who had nothing to do, simply pulled Wu Meiniang over to join in the fun.

"It's not as exaggerated as you said. It also requires money to build a house. The house is not grown on the ground. Besides, for this railway, the Steam Engine Research Institute of Guanshishan Academy spent more than one million stagnant of money. In addition, the iron smelting workshop paid for making railway tracks. The money spent on building Mingzuo Railway was more than such a real estate project."

Wu Meiniang won’t let Gu Panpan talk nonsense there.

If this kind of thing spreads, then everyone will not feel the efforts of the Chu Palace to build the Mingzuo Railway.

"What does that matter? At worst, you can come to the second phase of Junjing Garden at that time, or even the third phase. Anyway, there is no shortage of land in the workshop city, so you can sell it no matter how much you sell it. At worst, you can buy a part of the nearby land at a low price."

Gu Panpan knew very well about the situation of the Chu Prince's Mansion.

So I immediately refuted Wu Meiniang's statement.

"It's not that simple! In recent years, Shufangcheng has sold a lot of houses. In Chang'an City, people who can afford houses basically bought houses in Shufangcheng. If you can't afford them, you can't sell them at the price.

Why has the speed of launching new houses in the Workshop City been slowing down in the past two years? It is because fewer people can afford to buy a house? If it weren’t for the concept of Mingzuo Railway that could be hyped up this time, the sales of Junjing Garden would definitely not be so popular.

I'm sure that the people who come to buy Junjing Garden basically have at least one house in the workshop city. To put it bluntly, these people buy houses here for investment!"

Wu Meiniang is in charge of the commercial affairs of the King of Chu Mansion and has a deep understanding of many information.

Even the Intelligence Investigation Bureau of the Chu Palace, which was in charge of Wang Xuanwu, Li Kuan did not hide it from Wu Meiniang. Every time he submitted a report, Li Kuan would show Wu Meiniang.

Because of this, Wu Meiniang knew that the sale of new houses in Shufangcheng had actually encountered a bottleneck.

If more people cannot be attracted to buy houses in the Workshop City, then once new houses continue to enter the market, it is likely to crush the housing prices in the Workshop City and change the housing price trend that has been rising for many years.

"What should I do? There is still a lot of land in the factory city that can be used to build houses? If no one buys this, the new house will definitely not be sold by then, and even the prices of old houses will drop."

Although Gu Panpan was teasing Li Kuan just now, when Wu Meiniang talked about the problems facing the Workshop City, she was still very anxious.

Obviously, she hopes that the Chu Prince's Mansion can prosper.

"I haven't thought of any good idea yet! If the income of the people in Chang'an City can continue to increase, then more people are able to buy houses, but this cannot be accomplished in a short time.

Another way is to attract more outsiders to come to the workshop city to buy, so that they can have the opportunity to integrate into the Tang Dynasty.”

"Mei Niang, after you said this, I thought of a way to at least sell a few more properties in the Shufangcheng."

“What method?”

Wu Meiniang still admires Gu Panpan's talent quite much.

This is a woman with no worse business acumen than herself.

"Since Chang'an City does not have many people who are capable of buying houses in the workshop city, can we relax the threshold for purchasing houses in the workshop city! On the one hand, the Tang Dynasty Royal Money House will further reduce the down payment for new house purchases, and even launch a zero down payment business, so that more people have the opportunity to buy houses here.

Another way is to build several properties specifically for sale to the Japanese, Silla, Baekje, South Goguryeo, and North Goguryeo. Although these countries are far less powerful than our Tang Dynasty, it does not mean that the nobles in the country will have no money.

As long as there are so many properties in the Workshop City that are specially sold to people from these countries, after the news spreads, people from these countries in Chang'an City will definitely go back to the Workshop City to buy houses, and even the possibility of these wealthy people in China moving to Chang'an City will be further increased."

Foreigners who have not joined the Tang Dynasty household registration are not qualified to buy a house in the Workshop City.

This directly restricts more than 80% of foreigners to the house purchase list in the Workshop City.

If this hole is opened, at least a few hundred houses can be eliminated in one go.

In the long run, at least a few thousand houses can be consumed.

This can greatly alleviate the pressure on the sales office of the workshop city.

"The first plan can be considered, but the risk of the Tang Dynasty Royal Money House has increased. They may need to further increase the review of home buyers' loan information.

As for the second plan, this matter needs to be discussed with my prince. If it is feasible, then we can set up a special area in the workshop city and design a batch of houses according to the architectural styles of each country, specifically for those in the vassal states."

The tax revenue of small countries is definitely not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty.

However, it does not mean that the personal income of small countries will be much lower than that of the Tang Dynasty.

Especially in recent years, thanks to the development of overseas trade, all countries have gained more or less benefits from this trade.

The difference is just the size of the benefits.

"Do you design a house according to the styles of various vassal states? This is a good note! At that time, this area may become a new attraction in Chang'an City."
