Yunchu now likes to patrol Chang'an City, just like a lion patrolling its territory.
Calling a bad person over at will, pointing out unreasonable and inappropriate things and asking for correction is a behavior of him peeing and leaving a smell on the territory.
Speaking of which, the power of a Wannian County magistrate is really great. Everything that happens on the territory of Wannian County is within his jurisdiction.
Yunchu couldn't understand how those former county magistrates did not enjoy such wonderful power, but instead spent their limited lives on beautiful women, money, and enjoying such boring things.
Is it as fun to be complimented by a beautiful woman as to be complimented by a wealthy businessman?
After working so hard to make money, where is the fun in spending it happily?
How can there be a greater sense of accomplishment than watching groups of buildings rise from the ground after a lifetime of running a business like a fool?
Hiding in a dark room, like a greedy dragon staring at the light of money, how could it be more pleasurable than walking on the street, where everyone bends down to you?
Ever since Yun Chu began to enjoy the pleasure brought by power, he knew that he had another problem.
The building of Guangfufang was completed at the end of March, and the building of Anyefang opposite will be completed ten days later.
Just when Liu Rengui was still worried about the excessive number of houses in Anyefang, which were sold by Yunchu for too high a price and could not be sold.
He was dragged to the house sale site in Anyefang by Yun Chu.
As soon as Liu Rengui saw the crowd at the house selling site, he admired Chao Yunchu and said, "You deserve to be rich."
Yun Chu smiled and said: "I will get back my capital and double the profit, and the rest belongs to Chang'an County."
Liu Rengui's frown suddenly opened and he nodded and said: "Why do you need to charge double the profit? It's too high."
Yun Chu stared at Liu Rengui for a long time before saying: "I remember we agreed at the beginning that I would be responsible for giving houses to the people whose houses were demolished in Anyefang, and the remaining profits would be mine."
Liu Rengui laughed and said, "That's what happened. Aren't you ready to give up now? Since you are ready to give up, why not stick with the good guys to the end? You won't even let go of double the profit.
This good man does half and leaves half, but the gain outweighs the loss.
Besides, as far as I know, you didn’t pay a penny in Anyefang. It was the craftsmen who built the house, various merchants who supplied the materials to the craftsmen, and the people of Anyefang who provided the land. Even
The permit to build a house was also issued by Chang'an County Government.
Why do you take double the profit?"
Although the little old man complained endlessly, Yun Chu didn't care. The little old man never took money seriously in his life. He just wanted Yun Chu to become the purest good person and good official.
This is the bad thing about dealing with officials with high moral character. Whenever he finds an opportunity, he will make you become as stupid as him.
Yun Chu took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Liu Rengui. Liu Rengui opened it and looked at it and found that it was a procedure issued by Da Ci'en Temple to withdraw money at any time.
"Six thousand three hundred and fifty-eight dollars?"
Seeing this procedure for withdrawing money from the Xiangji Kitchen of Daci'en Temple at any time, even Liu Rengui was well-informed, but he was still shocked by the sudden appearance of such a huge sum of money.
"You can take what you should take." For the first time, the amount of money made Liu Rengui feel a little hot.
Yun Chu glanced at the little old man and said, "I have already taken away my share. This share belongs to you. By the way, you can take this money and give it to your wife to build a house in your hometown. You can buy any land."
Anyway, no one knows except me."
"How do you know that Zhuo Jing has been complaining that I can't build a big house or buy land in my hometown like other officials?"
"Naha has almost eaten up the dozen chickens raised by my wife-in-law. Didn't you notice?"
Liu Rengui said doubtfully: "Zhuo Jing did talk about your family members going to my house. Why, their relationship has become so good that they can arrange whatever you want with me?"
Yun Chu shrugged his shoulders and said, "My wife is virtuous, my sister is naughty, and my sister-in-law likes her very much."
Liu Rengui looked at the sun and looked at the formalities for more than 6,000 yuan, shook his head and said: "I should have learned about corruption early on. I didn't learn it when my desire was the strongest, and I don't understand it even more now.
Although money is good, it has nothing to do with me, Liu Rengui. The money in Liu Rengui's eyes is only the salary that the imperial court gives me every year."
Just after he finished speaking, Liu Rengui pointed at those people who were shouting crazily to buy a house and said: "The house hasn't been sold yet, where did you get the money?"
Yun Chu looked at the crowd of people who were squeezing the house seller with pity, and said calmly: "There are only six houses there, and they are not even the best ones. The rest of the houses were sold out half a month ago."
."
"Sold to whom?"
"Really rich people."
"Why not sell to these people who are not very rich?"
"Because I sold the house very expensively."
“Why should the house be sold so expensive?”
"Because I want to take out the money from the hands of the rich and circulate it. I don't know if you have noticed that since there was a money disaster in Datang three years ago, now, it is strange that Datang's money has become worse again.
It's become rarer.
Three years ago, it cost 12 cents to buy a bucket of rice. Now in March, when the economy is in recession, the price of grain has dropped to 8 cents a bucket. If I am not wrong, the price of grain will still be higher next year and the year after.
It dropped, eventually to the level of five or six cents per dou.”
Liu Rentrack: “What do you mean?”
Yunchu sighed and said: "When the price of food drops to five or six cents a dou, someone will spend a lot of money to buy land, houses, food, and goods from the people, and then sell them at high prices for several years."
, when the short sale is over and they have collected almost the money they previously released, they can start the next plunder."
Liu Rengui: “Isn’t it because of the lack of money that the copper mines are not mined enough?”
Yun Chu chuckled and said, "Look, look, this is the result of your despising money.
Our land of China has been using copper as a medium of exchange, that is, money, since the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.
For thousands of years, we have mined copper, smelted copper, and minted all kinds of money in different places.
So, County Lord, tell me, where have all the copper coins accumulated over thousands of years gone?
Buried in a grave?
Or lost?
Or was it cast into bronze?"
Liu Rengui looked at Yun Chu and said, "Are you saying that the Tang Dynasty has never been short of copper?"
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "The Tang Dynasty has always been short of copper, but the society of the Tang Dynasty is not short of it."
Liu Rengui: "Are you saying that someone is deliberately hoarding copper and then using it to exploit people?"
Yun Chu patted Liu Rengui's hand and said, "If I were an ordinary citizen now, my favorite way of trading would be bartering."
Liu Rengui looked at the people in the distance who were making a fuss because they couldn't buy a house, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
Yun Chu did not continue to talk to Liu Rengui about the weird economy of the Tang Dynasty. The plan to plunder the people with an average cycle of six to eight years was something that the entire wealthy class of the Tang Dynasty was doing.
This naturally includes the royal family. This is an organized and planned plunder.
After all, Li Yuan was not a pauper when he started his career, but a great nobleman. They actually had experience in how to secretly exploit the people.
"This is the secret to getting rich. I don't tell most people."
When Yun Chu ended the conversation in a joking way, Yun Chu could tell that Liu Rengui looked confused.
He is a very capable person, and Yunchu believes that in the years to come, he will slowly discover this secret.
The reason why Yun Chu is unwilling to sell large quantities of expensive houses to those who have just been able to buy houses is that he hopes that they can make more money during the bonus period in the next few years, and wait until the money disaster strikes again.
, you can turn your own money into a house in Chang'an and store it.
And then escaped such a catastrophe.
Yun Chu would not say the same thing to someone like Wen Wen, because he himself is a vested interest, and it is really difficult for him to betray his own class.
There are only a few smart people in the world who are useless.
Together with Liu Rengui, we entered Guangfufang to inspect the newly built houses. Just like last time, everyone was still in a satisfactory state.
Although there was a man in the last batch of houses who did not take good care of the construction of his own house, which resulted in defects, he was unlucky again when the new house was delivered this time.
Because, the whole street could hear his mother and his wife scolding him.
Overall, the laughter and laughter at Guangfufang gave Yun Chu and Liu Rengui a great encouragement.
"Is this the big canteen you're going to open?"
Arriving at the intersection of Guangfufang, Liu Rengui pointed to a huge building and asked Yunchu.
"Yes, there will be a simplified large canteen here. The food types will not be as large as those in Jinchangfang, nor will they be as exquisite as Jinchangfang. However, it is cheaper.
We have made an agreement, Mr. County Lord, that once this large canteen is opened, the amount of food consumed will be astonishing, and it will need to be supplied by the inner shop outside Chang'an County, is there no problem with this?"
"No problem, but the price will not harm the interests of the people. I think you have no problem with this, right?"
"My sister can give Huo Huoguang all the output of the County Lord's family when she is only one and a half years old. Now I doubt whether the County Lord's village can support the supply of materials for such a large canteen."
Liu Rengui said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Zhuojing caught a lot of chicks at the beginning of spring, and they will grow up in a few months."
Yun Chu laughed loudly and said, "I hope so."
After leaving Guangfu Street, the two giants of Chang'an City stood on the extremely wide Zhuque Street. Looking at the carriages and people coming to play, Liu Rengui suddenly said: "In fact, there is hope."
Yunchu smiled and said what he wanted to say most today.
"I'm just afraid that the people will die and the government will cease."
Liu Rengui said leisurely: "Even if you try your best, I will ensure that you take the position of Wannian County Magistrate."
Yun Chu licked his lips and said, "Actually, I would rather become Jing Zhaoyin of Chang'an."
Liu Rengui: "That is a third-grade official position. Only those who lack ability, character, talent, learning, and loyalty can get it."
Yun Chu cupped his hands and said: "A certain family has all these characteristics. You can't find another person in this world who loves Chang'an as much as I do, and who loves Chang'an as deeply as I do."
