With the emergence of a large number of factories and workshops and the influx of a large number of people, the suburbs of the capital have also become very lively and prosperous.
Small towns gradually formed around the huge factories, and developed rapidly. Coupled with the development of the real estate industry, high-rise buildings were continuously built, with each community as the center, and even more
A unique high-end community outside Beijing.
A spacious and comfortable four-wheel carriage was slowly driving on the road under the strict protection of a group of people. The curtains on the carriage were opened, and Emperor Hongzhi looked at the busy scenes on both sides of the road with interest.
Cement roads have gradually become common in the Beijing-Tianjin area. As long as there are factories, communities, and towns, cement roads will be built. Some of them are built with government funds, but most of them are built by factory owners and community developers.
, connected to each other and running through the surroundings of the capital.
"Not bad, not bad~"
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but nod his head as he watched. The prosperous scene in front of him was exactly the goal he had been pursuing and managing since he ascended the throne.
After taking care of the old, low buildings in the center of the city, and then going out to see these tall, prosperous places, everyone seemed to feel a sense of vitality and vitality.
The inside of the capital is like an old man who has gone through vicissitudes of time and is full of twilight. Outside the capital, he is like a young man full of vigor and vitality.
"Liu Jin, how much does a house in these properties cost now?"
Emperor Hongzhi suddenly thought of something and asked quickly.
Emperor Hongzhi remembered that at the beginning of last year, when the first phase of Sun City was launched, a courtyard-style house sold for thousands of taels of silver and a building sold for hundreds of taels of silver.
Such an expensive house was snapped up by countless people in just one day. Nowadays, there are also a large number of real estates in Xicheng District. This made Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but become curious. The houses here have risen to
What's the price?
"Back to Your Majesty, this place is almost ten miles away from the capital. If it is a high-rise building like this, the price of a house here is about more than two hundred taels of silver."
Liu Jin thought for a while and replied.
Liu Jin dared to swear to God that this was definitely not caused by speculation on his own, but that it rose on its own and was caused by other real estate developers selling it more and more expensively.
"More than two hundred taels of silver per set?"
"Last year, I remember it was only over a hundred taels of silver per set~"
"Isn't this doubled?"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he was slightly stunned. In just one year, the number of buildings in the capital had doubled. Isn't this too fast?
"Yes, Your Majesty, it has indeed doubled~"
Liu Jin nodded and said.
"The price of this house has increased so much. Is anyone still buying a house?"
Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and said.
"Your Majesty, not only do people buy houses, but now they have to rob and rely on connections to buy a house."
Liu Jin smiled and replied.
"Why is this?"
Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded. This house had become so expensive that he still needed to grab it. He had to rely on connections to buy the house. Everyone was a fool. He was still rushing to buy the house no matter how expensive it was.
"There are many reasons. One of the most fundamental reasons is that the population in Beijing is increasing, but the supply of houses is still very limited. The demand in the market exceeds the supply, so houses are easy to sell."
"Of course, the underlying reason is that the capital is at the foot of the emperor, where the world's luck gathers. The land and real estate here have greater natural value than other places, and are more valuable for investment."
Liu Jin thought for a while and replied.
In the capital, since ancient times, the houses in the capital have not been cheap and it has been difficult to live there. Many times, the houses where some officials live in the capital are very simple. Some poor people cannot even afford to buy a house and can only rent it.
House to live in.
Now in the midst of the Hongzhi Renaissance, coupled with the emergence of capitalism and the emergence of a large number of factories, the population of the capital has exploded. The contradiction between land, housing and population growth has become even more acute. There are too many people who want to buy houses.
.
As soon as each property in the capital is launched, it will be snapped up immediately. This has also brought many real estate properties in the capital into a golden development period, and has also caused the value of land around the capital to skyrocket.
There is no way. The capital has been a place where the powerful have gathered since ancient times. There are too many rich people. Many people buy several houses at a time. They buy more than a dozen houses. Even if they don’t live in them, they rent them out and the income is huge.
Quite impressive.
"But with the price of this house constantly rising, how can ordinary people afford it?"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, thought for a moment and then said.
"Your Majesty, maybe you have underestimated the income of the people in the capital."
"Now here in the capital, even if you work in the simplest factory, you can earn three taels of silver a month without any problem. Even women can work in textile factories and cook for people in factories, and the income is not low.
, you can get two taels of silver a month."
"After all, the two couples have an income of about five taels of silver a month, and their food and accommodation are basically in the factory. They can save more than fifty taels of silver in a year, which is enough for the down payment, and then make monthly payments.
Buying a house is quite easy.”
Liu Jin explained to Emperor Hongzhi.
In fact, houses in big cities like Beijing are not prepared for ordinary people at all, but are prepared for social elites and wealthy people.
Compared with the housing prices in later generations, the current housing prices in Beijing are still dwarfed. An ordinary couple can afford a down payment after working hard for a year, and the monthly payment will not be too stressful.
But in future generations, even if a couple is a student from a prestigious university and wants to save a down payment in the imperial capital, it will definitely not take a year or two.
Therefore, in Liu Jin's opinion, the housing prices in the capital are still very reasonable and not too high.
Of course, it is foreseeable that in the future, housing prices in the capital will continue to rise.
"That's good~that's good~"
"Fields for those who till the soil, and houses for those who live in them, that's good~"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded happily after hearing this. It would be good if the people had a house to live in. He was just afraid that the people would not have a house to live in and would be homeless.
"This is all the result of His Majesty's hard work and hard work and love for the people. Without Your Majesty, the people of Ming Dynasty would not be able to live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy a peaceful and prosperous age."
Liu Jin quickly flattered Emperor Hongzhi. Emperor Hongzhi still had to pat his butt frequently. Of course, this was also telling the truth.
Emperor Hongzhi has indeed become much more courageous in recent years. He dared to carry out reforms and gradually got rid of the control of the civil servant group and took control of the entire Ming Dynasty.
Without the support of Emperor Hongzhi, all of this would obviously be impossible. Not to mention anything else, just opening the sea for fishing was strongly opposed by the civil servants at the beginning, let alone the current comprehensive lifting of the sea ban.
.
"Haha~"
"You brat, you know how to flatter me~"
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately laughed.
"Your Majesty, I'm just telling the truth."
Liu Jin replied helplessly.
"Without His Majesty's support, none of this would have been possible. It was His Majesty's foresight and foresight that overcame everyone's opinions, which is why we have the prosperous Ming Dynasty."
Emperor Hongzhi and Liu Jin took a four-wheeled carriage to take a look at the cement road that was being built. As it reached the end of February, spring was about to begin and the weather was getting warmer.
The construction of the two cement roads planned by the imperial court has now officially started. Emperor Hongzhi, who had not been out for a long time, came out for a walk and took a look at Liu Jin's suggestion.
The carriage slowly walked towards the west. Before it left the suburbs of the capital, many people gathered around a building. It seemed that something had happened, which made Emperor Hongzhi's guards nervous.
"what happened?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked ahead through the car window. Many people were blocking the road. Women and old people were crying. Young Zhuang seemed very angry and was constantly smashing the sales department of this community.
At the same time, you can also see the nearby buildings, which are only half-finished and seem to have stopped working. It seems to be related to the real estate.
"Your Majesty, I will ask someone to go over and ask."
Xiao Jing quickly came over and replied.
Soon someone hurried forward to inquire about the situation, and soon they hurried back.
"Back to Your Majesty, the people who bought this property are causing trouble. This property was originally promised to be handed over in February, but until now, this property is only half-built. It has been building since the second half of last year.
With work suspended, people have spent money to buy houses, but they cannot get them."
"So they gathered together and came here to cause trouble."
Xiao Jing quickly came over to reply respectfully.
"What?"
“Why are the houses that the common people paid to buy not built until they are only half-finished?”
When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately became angry.
"Let me find out, find out really hard, who actually took the people's money and didn't even build this house."
"Yes~"
Xiao Jing nodded quickly.
"Your Majesty, it is better to leave this matter to me. I will definitely give a satisfactory explanation to your Majesty and the people here."
Liu Jin next to him looked at the crying people, and couldn't help but think of some unfinished buildings in later generations. The people worked hard to spend all their savings to buy the houses, but in the end they were unfinished, and the developers took away the money and ran away.
, the government offices did not do anything, and only the common people cried silently.
The scene in front of him was never similar. Thinking of this, Liu Jin became really angry. He had never been so angry before.
Sure enough, it has been the same since ancient times. There are always some people with dark consciences. Even if such a profitable business is not enough, it ends badly.
