In the Censor Taichung, Linghu Wujiang helped Yang Benman clean the table as usual, soaked a pot of Yang's green tea, and then started reading the newspaper.

Not long after, Yang Benman appeared in front of Linghu Wujiang by stepping on the spot.

"Good morning, Censor Yang!"

"Linghu, early!"

Yang Benman has been exposed to this very studious Censor, and his impression has gradually improved.

"Have you read the Datang Daily today?"

"What, what big thing happened?"

"It's not a big deal to talk about big things, but it's quite a big impact for Yang Jingshi. In that workshop city, the latest house, Li De Yashe, has already started selling yesterday, but the record-breaking sale was sold out in half a day.

Five silver coins per square meter, and all of them are large houses covering an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters. They actually became sun discs. Yes, they are sun discs. This is what the Datang Daily describes, which is really too vivid."

Linghu Wujiang was very excited because he also bought several houses in the Workshop City.

Although he can't afford the house in Lideyashe, he can still afford it if he has a smaller area in the neighborhood.

When Yang Benman told him that he could go to the workshop city to buy a house, Linghu Wujiang was quite confused.

Because in his opinion, the housing prices in the Workshop City are already quite high, is there still room for growth?

However, later he saw that Yang Benman had already stockpiled so many houses in the Shufangcheng City and had to continue buying them, so he gritted his teeth and took out the money from the Tang Dynasty Royal Money House, and exchanged it for several Shufangcheng City deeds.

Now it seems that this decision is still very correct.

The increase this year alone is already higher than my annual salary income, not even a little higher.

After doing this, Linghu Wujiang had no idea when he was on duty at the Censorate and was thinking about how to make money.

"This is basically as expected. His Majesty moved into the Summer Palace, and the six ministries moved to the Shufang City. It can be said that the group of people with the most purchasing power in Chang'an City moved from the city to the Shufang City on duty. But they went to the Shufang City from the city, even if they lived in the nearest gate, it would take more than an hour. If they lived far away, it would take two hours. This is the case if they had a carriage. If they needed to ride a public carriage, they would need to add at least a few more yuan in this time.

It would be fine if I had to do this one day or two days. After a long time, who could bear it? Especially the ministers in the court are old and have to go to court for so many times. Therefore, it is almost an inevitable choice for everyone to buy a house near the Workshop City. Anyway, for these important officials, it is not that much money to buy a house.

Once these important officials in the court bought houses in Shufangcheng, the officials in the middle and the clerks at the bottom must not follow the example and try their best to buy a house in Shufangcheng and be a neighbor of their Shangguan. I can't tell you when I can find a more convenient opportunity for promotion."

Yang Benman's answer surprised Linghu Wujiang.

Shouldn't it be a surprise, a surprise?

Why so calm?

Is this the difference between himself and him?

Linghu Wujiang couldn't be excited to see that Yang Benman, who owned so many properties, was so calm.

Could it be that the housing prices in Zufangcheng have reached their peak after this wave of rise?

Censor Yang is preparing to start selling?

That's why he wasn't excited at all?

Linghu Wujiang asked anxiously: "Yang Yushi, the houses in this workshop city are now at sky-high prices, and it is difficult for people to afford them at all. Do you think this house price will soon not rise and then start to fall?"

"Well? How did you have this idea? Many people in the court bought houses in the Shufangcheng City. Will they be willing to see the house prices in Shufangcheng City fall? Most of the land in Shufangcheng City has not been developed yet. Will they see the house prices in Shufangcheng City fall? If they do not support the house prices, the house prices here will not fall."

Linghu Wujiang didn't understand Yang Benman's logic a little.

"But I read the Chang'an Evening News last night. The articles above are not optimistic about the housing prices in the Workshop City? They say that this is plundering people's wealth and gambling, and that will definitely harm the interests of many people."

"Damn the interests of the people? Who do you think the development of the workshop city has harmed? Countless craftsmen have gone from being fed to having a small fortune now, and even become small wealthy houses; Countless workshop owners have achieved a significant appreciation of their wealth by opening workshops here and purchasing houses here;

The tax revenue paid by the various workshops in the Workshop City to the court has hit new highs year by year. Even because of the emergence of the Workshop City, the labor tension in Chang'an City has not been alleviated. As long as ordinary people work harder, they will not have to worry about not being able to find work. How can this harm the interests of the people?"

Yang Benman scoffed at Linghu Wujiang's statement.

"This Chang'an Evening News is also the second largest newspaper in the Tang Dynasty, and their views are often relatively rigorous. It is actually not easy for them to publish such an article when the houses in Lideyashe in the Workshop City are so crazy. After all, just like you said, Workshop City has brought benefits to many people."

"Linghu, look at the problem, you can't look at the surface so simply. You have to see the essence of the problem through the appearance. I'll ask you, whose industry is the Chang'an Evening News?"

There is nothing wrong with the people today, Yang Benman is still willing to mention Linghu Wujiang.

In fact, as long as he doesn't impeach anyone, Yang Benman will have nothing to do when he comes to duty every day.

Reading newspapers and drinking tea is basically his main job when he is on duty.

"I heard that it was the Changsun family's industry, with the support of Changsun Sikong, so the Chang'an Evening News can firmly hold its position as the second largest newspaper in the Tang Dynasty."

"That's it. The relationship between the Changsun family and the Chu Prince's Mansion is very bad. You should have heard of this rumor, right?"

"you mean……"

Yang Benman has already said so thoroughly, and Linghu Wujiang is naturally not so stupid.

"That's right! It's what you think! The Tang Daily is a newspaper of the King of Chu's Mansion, and the Chang'an Evening News is a newspaper of the Changsun family. Any news reports about the King of Chu's Mansion or the Changsun family are always carried with a pair of tinted glasses to read. Otherwise, you may be misled by the other party."

"I understand. In this way, Chang'an Evening News said that the housing prices in Shufangcheng City will fall. I should look at it in reverse. In fact, will the housing prices in Shufangcheng continue to rise?"

"I'm not sure if I have to look at it in the opposite way. After reading it in the opposite way, I'll just have one more idea."

"Now your houses in the Workshop City have appreciated a lot. Have you considered selling these houses?"

Although Linghu Wujiang didn’t know how many houses Yang Benman had purchased in the Shufang City, he knew that the number must have reached three digits, and it would be a scary number to say it out.

"I haven't thought about this problem, but the key is that I sold the house, why are I doing with the money?"

Yang Benman's words left Linghu Wujiang speechless.

Yes, if the house is sold, what should Yang Benman use the money for?

If it is just a few hundred or thousands of guan, it is okay to say.

However, with the amount of real estate held by Yang Benman, once it is cashed out, it will be more than 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of coins.

With such a large sum of money, I really don’t know what to do.

The main business of the Yang family is tea. Even if it doubles the current tea garden, it doesn’t cost so much money.

Besides, tea is very profitable now, and various noble families are starting to build tea gardens. Yang Benman didn't know whether he could maintain such high returns in a few years.

Yang Benman is more optimistic about the current real estate.

All walks of life in the Tang Dynasty are now developing rapidly, and more and more people will flock to Chang'an City to live.

These craftsmen, helpers, and merchants with good income all need to buy houses to live in.

Even if they buy relatively cheap houses, it will promote further increase in real estate prices.

After all, if you live in a cheap house today, you will want to live in a better place tomorrow.

If passed down step by step, the prices of houses in the entire Chang'an City will continue to rise.

This is also an important reason why Yang Benman saw that the price of houses in the Workshop City was relatively high, but he had not yet sold the house.

"The most popular thing now is the overseas trade and the shipbuilding industry related to it. Did Jingshi Yang consider selling tea overseas directly?"

Linghu Wujiang saw that Yang Benman was willing to chat with him, so he couldn't help but make his own suggestions.

If going out to sea more than ten years ago was still very unfamiliar to everyone, and it felt that going out would be a life-and-death life and it would be difficult to come back; then now it is common for the Tang Dynasty.

With the continuous development and maturity of overseas trade routes, coupled with the rapid popularity of the flying shears in the Dengzhou shipbuilding workshop in the East China Sea fishery, although sailing is still a very risky thing, it no longer makes him feel scared of going out to sea.

"Now, the tea in the Tang Dynasty is mainly purchased by nobles from various prefectures, and the herdsmen in the grassland tribes. The protagonists of going to sea trade are mainly silk, porcelain, glass mirrors and emerging cotton cloth, and there are not many teas."

As a major investment expert in Chang'an City, Yang Benman is naturally concerned about various business matters and is quite familiar with them.

As the main source of tax revenue for the Tang Dynasty, the prosperity of overseas trade has led to the rapid increase in market tax, and has become an important tax type.

From this tax change, Yang Benman was able to derive the approximate trade volume per year.

"In the past, Hu people on the grassland did not drink tea; even more than ten years ago, the tea production of the entire Tang Dynasty was not necessarily as much as 20% of the current ones. However, after the promotion of Northwest trade, the tea consumption on the grassland has become a huge number.

My subordinates think that since the Hu people who don’t drink tea on the grassland can become big consumers of tea, what about the barbarians overseas? There should be hope to become big consumers of tea, right?”

Linghu Wujiang's words made Yang Benman unable to help but look at him with admiration.

For a long time, Yang's tea has not personally explored overseas markets, but has sold it to some maritime merchants. Every year, some Yang's tea flows overseas.

But the quantity is very limited.

Before this, no one went overseas to promote tea, and achieved a little effect in Japan and Silla, but the effect was limited, so Yang Benman did not take it too seriously. Instead, he continued to focus on the sales of tea bricks from the grassland tribe.

Because of this, Yang's tea's main source of profit.

"Your suggestion is good, I'll go back and think about it seriously!"

...

In the middle of the five-member family, Changsun Chong and Zheng Hai sat in a private room and tasted the latest delicacies.

However, the atmosphere was a bit dull.

The incident of the Weishui Money House has brought a great impact on them, and they have not completely recovered until now.

"Brother Changsun, the price of Lideyashe in the Workshop City was already five silver coins per square meter yesterday. Such a sky-high house was sold out within half a day.

If I remember correctly, that piece of land was actually on the edge of the Shufang City. It was because the Summer Palace and the Sixth Ministry’s yamen were built nearby that it became a unique and wealthy area of ​​the Shufang City. At that time, the Changsun family sold the tens of thousands of acres of land in Shufang City to the King of Chu’s Mansion, which seemed not very far from the Summer Palace, right?”

Zheng Hai's words were like sprinkling salt on Changsun Chong's wound, which made Changsun Chong, who was already a little depressed, even more depressed.

"The house price is obviously abnormal. Even the houses in Chang'an City are not that expensive. I have arranged for someone to publish an article in the Chang'an Evening News to remind the people to pay attention to this risk."
