The word "side by side" king of the Tang Dynasty

In Chang'an City, the sales office of a chamber of commerce has long been overcrowded, and the lobby is packed with people.

"Give me a house!"

"I want two sets!"

"Why the hell are you squeezing me! I want a set too!"

……

Many people buying houses kept pushing towards the lobby, for fear of falling behind others.

The manager at the sales office was sweating profusely. After seeing this scene, he couldn't help shouting at the top of his lungs:"Don't be anxious! Take your time one by one! Get in line first! Otherwise, I won't register!"

After hearing this! After the steward's words, many people buying houses restrained themselves a lot and went to the back to queue up.

The manager breathed a sigh of relief and then started to register to sell the house.

Not far from the sales office, Li Changqing, Wei Zheng, eunuch Gao Li and several guards watched this scene.

Li Changqing, Wei Zheng and others were all dressed in casual clothes. He came out of the palace specifically to inspect the real estate sales today.

"Your Majesty, this is the sales office of the Wu Chamber of Commerce. They are also the chamber of commerce that has contracted the most land to build buildings."

Wei Zheng introduced to Li Changqing that the land nearby was newly developed to build a commercial street, so the surrounding buildings were looted.

Li Changqing took a look around and saw more than 20 reinforced concrete buildings. Buildings, these buildings are all ready for sale today.

In ancient times, a piece of land was so expensive compared to later generations. There was a lot of idle land in the Tang Dynasty, so the price was very cheap. After the businessmen sold the land, they built nine-story buildings for sale , you can get very generous benefits.

Li Changqing did not intend to make money by selling land. He mainly focused on tax revenue. The more houses these chambers of commerce sell, the more tax revenue the court can receive.

After Li Changqing looked at it for a while, he turned to look at Wei Zheng and said:"The quality control of these buildings must be strict. If there is any situation where corners are cut for profit, the fine will be ten times, and no contact with real estate will be allowed from now on.""

"If there is a quality problem that causes the building to collapse and injure people, then the person in charge will be killed without mercy!"

In addition to making money, his original intention of proposing real estate is also partly to improve the quality of life of the people so that everyone can live in a good house.

If it causes harm on the contrary, it is completely inconsistent with his original intention. Going in the opposite direction.

After hearing Li Changqing's murderous words, Wei Zheng's heart trembled, and he quickly said:"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will strictly control the quality of the building, and there will definitely be no accidents!""

In fact, there is no need for Li Changqing to say that he already attaches great importance to this point. Special construction supervision departments have been set up in all major prefectures and counties. Every building built and sold must undergo strict inspection.

Li Changqing nodded, and then walked on this street I wandered around on this street. This street is going to be turned into a commercial street. Although it is still under construction, major chambers of commerce and shops are already ready to move in.

"What if we build a business plaza?"

After walking around, Li Changqing suddenly had this idea in his mind.

The commercial plazas of later generations are very popular. Every place is the economic center of the entire city, and it is also a gold-absorbing behemoth.

Now the real estate industry has just emerged. I'm afraid no one has thought of this. If the imperial court builds this kind of commercial plaza in every city, and then allows those shops to settle in and collect rent, then the imperial court will have a very stable and huge source of money. That's all. , Li Changqing’s idea of ​​building a trade plaza became more and more popular, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was feasible.

"No more inspections, go back to the palace!"

Li Changqing left the place and returned to the palace without saying a word.

After returning to the palace, he called Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and other ministers into the Chui Gong Hall, and then expressed his idea of ​​building a trade plaza. come out

"......Now the imperial court needs a stable and large source of income to support external development. Real estate can support it for a while, but it is not feasible in the long run. I think building a business plaza can solve this problem."

Li Changqing said, with a hint of excitement in his voice.

Wei Zheng and others were undoubtedly unfamiliar with the term Commerce Plaza, but after listening to Li Changqing's narration, they were also somewhat moved.

"The business square that His Majesty mentioned seems to be similar to the market. Fang

Xuanling said thoughtfully

"Yes, this is the market."

Li Changqing did not deny it,"It's just that its scale is larger, and it can drive the economic development of a city. You can set up any shop in the business plaza, and everything people want to buy can be found here. Its convenience is better than other businesses. The model is incomparable."

The Trade Plaza is just an enlarged version of the market, but it is more scaled up and optimized, and is much more advanced than the former.

"But building a trade plaza is a big project. If it were still built in major cities across the country, the financial and manpower costs would be astronomical."

Wei Zheng said worriedly.

Du Ruhui, who had not spoken until he heard the words, chuckled and said:"I already understand what your Majesty means. If this kind of commercial plaza is built, the daily flow of people will be huge. If you open a shop in it, you can get a lot of money. The profit is definitely much higher than opening a shop on the street."

"Therefore, stores in commercial plazas must be very expensive. We might as well release the news first and let private businesses compete for quotas. The highest bidder will get the quota, and then use the money to build commercial plazas and collect rents.……"

"exactly."

Li Changqing was not surprised that Du Ruhui could think of the key here and said with a smile.

"Excellent!"

After Du Ruhui's instructions, Wei Zheng quickly understood and couldn't help but admire it.

Once such a commercial square is built, the court will not have to worry about lack of money.

"Then we might as well use Chang'an as a pilot project to build a business plaza and see how it works.

Li Changqing looked at Fang Xuanling and said with a smile,"Xuanling, are you confident that you can handle this matter?" Fang

Xuanling bowed in salute, cupped his hands and said with a smile:"I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations.""
