556: Real estate bubble, public opinion is overwhelming
In the Hong Kingdom, Kyoto was turbulent.
It stands to reason that since Nagumo survived this catastrophe, many people with evil intentions should calm down.
But the fact is completely opposite. There seems to be a force behind it, which is constantly stirring up troubles and making the situation more unstable.
Nan Yun initially suspected his good brother Nan Sheng, the current monarch of Zheng.
After all, the Three Kingdoms now stand in a tripartite state, and Zheng Guo has vigorously developed Beihai Tianyuan, and his comprehensive national strength is far superior to the other two countries.
Wu State must form an alliance with Hong State in order to form a balance of power with Zheng State.
However, when Nanyun sent people to conduct a secret investigation, they found that Zheng Guo was currently busy digesting the harvest of Xiyun Mansion and supporting state-owned industries to fight against foreign capital, and had no time to take action against Nanyun.
This discovery really made Nanyun relieved, because since Zuo Chongming's death, his and Nanyun's main enemy was Nansheng's Zheng Guo.
But soon, Nanyun became vigilant again, because the power hidden in the dark was so mysterious that even he couldn't find out the clues, which showed how terrifying the other party was...
This made Nanyun unconsciously think of something. Zuo Chongming's battle for fame a long time ago, his opponent at that time was the Liansheng Sect.
Could it be that this force is another Lotus Sect?
Ever since this speculation came about, it has lingered like a shadow, causing Nan Yun to have trouble sleeping and eating.
Tuk Tuk~!
There was a gentle knock on the door, and a high-pitched voice came: "Your Majesty, Chen Tao, the Minister of Household Affairs, came into the palace late at night, saying that he had something important to report."
"Let him in."
Nanyun pinched the bridge of his nose, forced himself to cheer up, and put down the documents in his hand.
This Minister of the Ministry of Finance was promoted by him not long ago. What he values is his youth, because young people have the courage to fight, think and do.
With the development of the times and the advancement of science and technology, drastic improvements are needed in all aspects, and Chen Tao's temperament is the most suitable.
Facts have proved that Nanyun's vision is still good. After Chen Tao took office, he repeatedly made amazing moves, but the results were extraordinary.
If Chen Tao were not so capable, if it were anyone else, Nanyun would definitely not have summoned him late at night.
With the sound of footsteps, a middle-aged man with a touch of elegance came quickly and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, Chen Tao, your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"No gift."
Nanyun knocked on the table, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and his voice softened a lot: "Ai Qing came here late at night, do you have something to report?"
Chen Tao took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, I have been visiting recently and discovered a strange phenomenon."
Nan Yun touched his expression and his voice became much more serious: "Oh? What did Ai Qing find?"
Chen Tao hesitated for a few moments, then gritted his teeth and said: "In order to replenish the national treasury, we have greatly relaxed the loan standards and lowered the standards for pre-sales of houses."
"The real estate developers only need to build the building and cap it off, and then they can get the remaining funds from the bank for subsequent construction."
"Due to what happened some time ago, many real estate developers have accelerated the construction speed. In some places, one floor is built every two days..."
"When they capped off the building and got the remaining money from the bank, they actually, actually... took the money and ran away."
Nan Yun raised his eyebrows, his eyes showing murderous intent: "Escape? If you catch him, you will kill the nine tribes as a warning to others..."
Chen Tao opened his mouth and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, not one or two, but almost 80% of the real estate developers have ran away."
Nan Yun's calm face finally showed shock. He shouted and stood up, asking: "What did you say? How is this possible?"
Chen Tao lowered his head: "I would venture to guess that the group of merchants may have thought that the Holy Emperor was attacked, the country was in turmoil, and a war would soon break out, so they acted in panic..."
"Damn it!"
Nanyun clenched his fists tightly, took deep breaths several times, and managed to regain his senses. He gritted his teeth and said, "Keep talking."
"Your Majesty, this is just the beginning."
Chen Tao said softly: "After the real estate developer ran away, the house was left in ruins. The people who bought the house were equivalent to losing ten or more than ten years of savings."
"The most important thing is that the current bank policy is that even if the building is unfinished, people must continue to repay the loan, and it must continue for 30 years..."
"At this time, a question arises. Who would repay the thirty-year loan honestly when they know that the house is in ruins?"
Nanyun's expression changed again, and the muscles on his cheeks kept hesitating: "What do you mean..."
"Tide supply cut off."
Chen Tao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke word by word: "It's like a dam collapsing, a river overflowing, and it's as irresistible as the tide."
"..."
Nanyun frowned and shouted in a deep voice: "I will pass on my will. The country will not sit idly by and watch this kind of thing."
"On the one hand, we will fully pursue those businessmen and recover the losses of the people. On the other hand, we will allocate funds from the national treasury to take over unfinished buildings..."
Chen Tao choked out sadly: "Your Majesty, the national treasury... is out of money."
"This is impossible!!"
"Does Your Majesty still remember Xiyun Mansion?"
"You mean..."
Nanyun's pupils suddenly shrank, and he suddenly remembered something.
Before the collapse of Xiyun Mansion, their currency had the highest value retention rate, the strongest purchasing power, and the widest circulation...
Because of this, many large companies use Xiyun Mansion’s currency for settlement and transactions, and even many small and medium-sized countries do the same.
But after the Xiyun Mansion was destroyed, the currency it issued directly turned into waste paper, which caused a terrible impact on all walks of life.
Although various countries have introduced currency exchange policies afterwards to try their best to reduce losses, they are also affected by the volume and appear to be a drop in the bucket.
Although the Three Kingdoms had the strongest overall strength, they also suffered a heavy blow because of this.
Originally, although Nanyun and the others felt distressed, compared with the gains they had made, they still felt that they had lost money.
Next, as long as you continue to develop, you will soon be able to relax.
But who would have thought that something like this would happen to Nanyun?
Who would have thought that the accident in Nanyun would cause the real estate bubble to collapse early?
For a while.
Chen Tao said in a seductive voice: "In addition, there is one more thing that needs to be reported to the Holy One."
Nanyun didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, his face so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip from his face.
Seeing that he didn't answer, Chen Tao spoke up: "The incident involving the Holy Father has caused a trend among the people. They say that it is child's play to hang the security of the country on one person."
"The centralized monarchy is already a backward system, and the family world is also a feudal system."
"Today is a new era. The feudal dross should be abandoned. Democratic voting is the fair, the most just and the most open..."
Bang!!!
The sound of the table shattering echoed throughout the hall.
Nanyun clenched his bleeding fist tightly and stared at him ferociously: "In other words, those untouchables are going to force me to abdicate?"
