The most arrogant in history

Chapter 626: City of Muye.

Wu Qiong nodded and said straightforwardly:

"Your Majesty is right. I am afraid of spending money. Although I have money now, governing a country is like living. I always have to have reserves and extra money so that I don't feel anxious."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I remember that Princess Mingzhu has 300,000 taels of silver deposited in the Ministry of Finance and Taxation, right?"

Wu Qiong was stunned: "Indeed, there is such money. Your Majesty can withdraw it at any time."

Ye Kun looked at everyone: "Princess Mingzhu is about to get married. She said that this money will be donated to the Science and Technology City for investment in science and technology."

Upon hearing this, everyone clasped their fists and praised: "The princess is righteous and cares about the people."

Ye Kun nodded: "I respect the princess's opinion. Let's use the three hundred thousand taels of silver to expand the Science and Technology City. If there is not enough money, the Science and Technology City will sell some broken things and raise funds on its own.

Now, it’s a matter of site selection and land acquisition. You nine ministries will review and approve it.”

It won’t cost too much to expand the science and technology city this time.

The main work is to build houses, staff dormitories and test sites.

Three hundred thousand taels of silver is probably about enough.

If it's really not enough, we can sort out a batch of experimental waste and sell it for money.

He Tiantian attended the meeting and suggested:

"Since it was Princess Mingzhu who donated the money for the construction, we will build another small science and technology city and name it after the princess, Mingzhu Science and Technology City, so that everyone will remember the princess's contribution and show her noble character. In addition, we will hire the princess as the honorary city lord of Mingzhu Science and Technology City."

Ye Kun looked at everyone and said with a smile: "This is a very good suggestion, very interesting."

After finalizing the expansion of the Science and Technology City, Ye Kun talked about the construction of a new community in Zhuojun.

The population of the capital is increasing too fast, and there is not enough room in the outer cities.

Sang Buyi said, "When Zhuo County was planned, there was a lot of land outside the outer city, which was reserved for building houses. Those lands are now vegetable gardens. We can just move the vegetable gardens outward and build houses."

Tan Bamao said: "The planned population at that time, the inner and outer cities combined, was 400,000. The land reserved outside the city was planned to have a population of 600,000, a total of one million.

But in just a few years, the population of the inner and outer cities has grown to 550,000. If this continues, the population will exceed one million in three to five years. The original total plan of one million is still far from enough. "

Some of the officials present at the meeting were unfamiliar with the population growth situation and exclaimed in amazement.

Because when Zhuo County was first built, there were only tens of thousands of people.

Ye Kun said: "The city is developing faster and faster, and the population is increasing rapidly, which is expected. Therefore, the construction outside the outer city is also inevitable.

But I have an idea, a two-pronged approach. That is, we need to build up the outer city, but we also need to upgrade the old city.”

The ancient city was called the inner city;

Outside the city is the Guo, which generally refers to the outer city.

Outside the city is the pasture, and outside the pasture is the wilderness.

There is a famous Battle of Muye in history.

However, Muye is not a place name, but refers to farmland and wilderness outside the city.

The area outside the city that Ye Kun mentioned is outside the outer city.

Sang asked without question, "I know what's going on with building houses outside the city. But what does the emperor mean by upgrading the old city?"

Tan Bamao rushed to say: "Just tear down the original small tile house and rebuild a two-story building. In this way, more people can live in it."

Sang Buyi smiled and said, "How many more people can stay here?"

"How dare you say that about a few people?" Ye Kun smiled.

"Four small tiled houses can only accommodate a family of four. If four more rooms are added, it can accommodate more than ten people. I also want to plan a group of three- and four-story buildings, divide them into single rooms, and rent them out specifically to bachelors and small families.

In the future, as technology develops, buildings will be 20 stories high, and one building can accommodate hundreds of people. "

Ma Zhao laughed and said, "A 20-story building would poke a hole in the sky. The Tiangong University in Chengdu has only five floors at its highest, which is scary. Even a god wouldn't be able to build a 20-story building."

Ye Kun rolled his eyes: "Twenty years later, our Han Empire will have the ability to build a twenty-story building. Why do we need gods?"

Fortunately, it was only said that there were twenty floors. If Ma Zhao and others knew that ordinary residential buildings in later generations were thirty or even fifty floors, they would be scared to pee their pants!

Judging from the current productivity and scientific research speed, it would be no problem to build one or two high-rise buildings in 20 years.

Ma Zhao shrugged and said with a smile: "But it will cost a lot to upgrade all the houses in the old city into two-story buildings. This money..."

"I don't need the money from the court. I will find a way myself."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "This time, I will take full control and become a real estate developer."

Sang Bu asked, "How does the emperor plan to do this? Will it disturb the people? Will he plunder the people's private property?"

"Don't worry, I'm the emperor, not a robber."

Ye Kun was confident: "I will use the money to buy a piece of residential housing, then rebuild and renovate it, and then sell it."

Wu Qiong smirked: "Your Majesty, you will lose money."

"You don't have to worry about the loss. I'll write this as proof."

Ye Kun looked at everyone and said, "I will arrange this matter from a businessman's perspective. We will pay taxes wherever they are due, not a penny less. But don't worry about how much my new house will sell for when it's released."

Real estate development is the most profitable business.

How can there be a loss?

Wu Qiong felt that there was an opportunity, so he said with a smile: "Your Majesty, can we participate in your overall operation and watch?"

Ye Kun did not hesitate: "The Ministry of Finance and Taxation, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Revenue can set up a joint supervision team to supervise the whole process. If I have disturbed the people or oppressed the people, I will punish you according to the law!"

Ma Zhao and Wu Qiong looked at each other and smiled evilly: "It's a deal!"

"Wait, I have another request."

Ye Kun smiled and said, "I want to establish a royal bank in Zhuo County to absorb deposits and loans and prosper the economic market."

As for real estate development, there may be mortgages in the future.

Wouldn't it be killing two birds with one stone if I set up my own bank?

Ma Zhao frowned and said, "The court's laws stipulate that private individuals cannot open banks. This is also the emperor's suggestion. If the emperor wants to open a bank now, will it be considered private or court-owned?"

"It's my personal property."

Ye Kun looked at everyone and said, "I know this is illegal, but we can add some rules to make it legal. For example, I pay a certain amount of security deposit to the court to ensure that my bank does not violate the rules.

Or, I could invest in the court's bank, and the court would be responsible for all the money in and out, and I would earn my dividends based on my shares."

Wu Qiong smiled and said, "National laws are set and cannot be changed at will. But the emperor can invest. We can set up a royal bank and the emperor can invest as much as he wants."

Ye Kun nodded: "I will invest 90%."

Wu Qiong nodded: "No problem, I support it."

There is now a bank in Zhuo County, which is in trial operation and doing good business.

It would only take a few days to open another bank.

Ye Kun nodded: "That's no problem. I will send someone to contact you to discuss the real estate development."

Everyone stood up and the meeting ended.

Wu Qiong also teased Ye Kun: "Your Majesty, if you lose money, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Ye Kun laughed: "I have ten thousand ways to make money. As long as I want, I can make all your private money and retirement money into my pocket. If you don't believe me, wait and see."
