Dian Zhai was found in all the major state capitals and military counties of the Great Song Dynasty, and was a yamen specializing in the operation of urban real estate business, and was an integral part of the government-run industry and commerce. And the shop and house affairs in Kaifeng Mansion City are the largest and most profitable of all the shop and house affairs, no, it should be two. It is called the left and right side of the store. There are supervisors, full-time deputy prefects, officials, envoys and even building an army. Among them, there are four supervisors, who are served by officials in Beijing, military attachés and chamberlains. Below the supervisor are the chief and deputy prefects of the left and right compartments, and below them are the commissioners, and there are also commanders in charge of building the chamber army. It's quite a huge yamen!

At present, there are a total of 12,626 rental properties, 654 sections of land, and 164 mansions, all of which are properties in Kaifeng Prefecture. The value of these industries today must be in the hundreds of millions! The industry, which is worth hundreds of millions of yuan, is in the hands of the government-run left and right wings, and the profits generated a year are about 210,000 to 250,000 yuan...... The rate of return is about a few ten-thousandths.

Well, that is, the monthly rent of hundreds of millions of houses is less than 20,000...... That's a lot! Can such a yamen still carry out the great plan of rejuvenating the country with real estate?

However, Zeng Bu really listened to An Tao's suggestion and recruited Qiang Yuanming, who was in charge of the house affairs of the Zuoxiang store, to his own mansion.

Qiang Yuan's Ming character is hidden in the season, a native of Qiantang, Hangzhou, who is in his forties and less than 50 years old this year, and has a dignified appearance. He was a jinshi in the eighth year of Yuanfeng (1085), because his brother Qiang Junming had a good relationship with Cai Jing, so he also had a close relationship with Cai Jing, and he was considered a party of the Cai family. With Cai Jing's support, his career after entering high school was naturally smooth sailing. After only fifteen years in the office, he has already paid official worship to the seven-pin Xuande Lang, and he has also obtained the rare lack of superintendent Zuoxiang house store affairs - the house store business has oil and water, it is certain!

In addition, this dispatch was also responsible for allocating "public rental housing" to high-ranking officials in the court, and high-ranking officials who were difficult to see when others broke their heads had asked for a small official who was in charge of the office of the left and right wings.

So when Qiang Yuanming was recruited by Zeng Bu, he thought that Zeng Xianggong's henchmen needed housing! During this time, because many new party officials of the Zhang Dian family were driven out of the court (including his backstage Cai Jing), many good houses were vacated (of course, Cai Jing's house was not recovered, because Cai Jing was still in Kaifeng Mansion and refused to leave), and Zeng Bu's henchmen could be arranged.

But after arriving at Zeng Bu's prime minister's mansion, he heard an inexplicable question - if someone spent 2 million to buy the land of Dutingyi, how could he make more money?

What does that mean? Zeng Xianggong wants to make money in business? Even if you want to do it, you can't be so blatant, it will give people impeachment...... Zeng Bu is a civil official, and he shouldn't love money!

"Xianggong, the location of Dutingyi is excellent, if you want to make money, of course, it is to build a tile shop, if you rent it out, it is stable to receive 40,000 or 50,000 yuan a year, and if you have more, maybe you can have 60,000."

He wasn't talking nonsense, because there was a Houyuan Corridor under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which was in charge of the corridor near Caihe under the Imperial Palace's Houyuan, and rented it out to the merchants to store and trade goods—most of the grain and goods transported from the Huaizhejiang Lake Sixth Road were piled up there for trading. This is this place, and the back garden corridor can earn nearly 70,000 yuan a year.

In addition, after repairing the capital and the Bianhe embankment division, there are also a large number of commercial houses for rent, and the annual profit can reach hundreds of thousands!

Compared with the three offices specializing in "commercial real estate" of the Houyuan Corridor, the Beijing Repair Office and the Bianhe Embankment Division, the business situation of the store is really a bit bad.

Of course, the profitability of the three yamen, the Houyuan Corridor, the Completion of the Capital and the Bianhe Embankment Division, is not good. The value of the land they own is also as high as tens of millions or even hundreds of millions!

The matter of real estate prosperity was put on hold in the Song Dynasty, and it was really possible! Not to mention anything else, these industries in Kaifeng Mansion that belong to several rented yamen are operating well, and there is no problem with an annual income of tens of millions.

If you take these tens of millions of dollars to buy land to settle the knights in front of the palace, you can increase the number of knights by at least 3,000 a year, and you can raise at least 60,000 knights by the first year of Jingkang...... Well, there are 30,000 families in half, and it is not difficult to mobilize 30,000 to 50,000 feudal heavy cavalry and more than 100,000 armed followers in wartime.

With 30,000 to 50,000 feudal heavy cavalry, most of the Xuanhe Northern Expedition won without a fight, and there would be no shame of Jingkang, maybe it would be the shame of the Tianhui of the Dajin Kingdom.

If this evil money is used in the right place, it can really do whatever it wants!

The problem is, money has to be spent where it should be!

"A land of 2 million yuan is not much if the annual income of 60,000 yuan is not much." Zeng Bu thought for a moment and asked, "What is the best way to get huge profits?" ”

"This ......" Qiang Yuanming was also a little stunned when he heard this question, what happened to Xianggong Zeng? Fell into the money eye? If you really want money, where can't you make it? Why do you look at the land of Dutingyi? There's no way that piece of land can be sold, right?

"Xianggong, what do you want to ask?" Qiang Yuanming asked.

Zeng Bu said: "The official family wants to sell the land of the Dutingyi...... It is said that it can be sold for 2 million, and the money will be used to build a new museum near Qionglin Garden, and the surplus will be used to repair Qionglin Garden. ”

And this kind of operation?

Qiang Yuanming looked at Zeng Bu incredulously, "This, whose idea is this?" ”

Zeng Bu thought for a while, "Probably Wu Haogu." ”

No wonder! Qiang Yuan Mingxin said: Of course Wu Haogu has a way! He made hundreds of thousands of dollars a year by singing and selling books, picture albums, and magazines...... If you want to sell Dutingyi to him, he will definitely be able to turn over 4 million for you for 2 million! But he is a dignified scholar, although he has managed money in Taifu Temple, but it is not a business.

"Xianggong," Qiang Yuanming thought for a while, "Xia Guan is not a businessman, and he doesn't know how to run a business...... If the prime minister wants to know how the businessman will operate, he will wait for the lower official to ask Supervisor Liu. ”

"Supervisor Liu? Which one? ”

"It is the adopted son of the late Liu Ai, the deputy governor of Nei Province, Liu Youfang, and now he is also the supervisor of the Zuoxiang Mansion, and he knows a little about business."

Liu Youfang, who almost killed Wu Haogu three years ago, died of illness in June of the third year of Yuan Fu. His adopted son Liu Ai also came back from the Northwest Army to run for the funeral, and the eunuch died and the adoptive father did not have to keep filial piety for three years, so after the funeral was done, he gave himself a fat shortage in Kaifeng Mansion and supervised the store affairs of the Zuo Xiang House.

Zeng Bu immediately ordered: "Okay, hurry up and ask!" ”

……

"Of course, I built a small house and sold a shop."

In the office of the house affairs of the Zuo Xiangdian, Liu Ai was talking about the real estate business experience to Qiang Yuanming, who rarely asked for advice with an open mind.

"Nowadays, Kaifeng Mansion is really good to sell small houses, and those below 30,000 yuan are in short supply...... How many officials in Mankaifeng Mansion are still renting houses now? is those Jinshi who were arrested under the list, how many can get the real estate in Kaifeng City? ”

As he spoke, Liu Ai took out a "Oiran" album and handed it to Qiang Yuanming, "Xuande, look at the tricks on the third page. ”

Qiang Yuanming doesn't need to read it to know that he has ordered every issue of the "Oiran" album, including the special photo album, there is no shortage of one, and they are all genuine - a merry and talented man, if you don't even have the "Oiran" album, people will suspect that you have a dragon yang fetish!

And in several issues of the "Oiran" album there are also poems by Qiang Yuan Mingti - this is another idea for Wu Haogu to make money, through the "Oiran" album for poetry contests, the winner will also have a prize money to get, and can also enjoy the Oiran to accompany the wine and sing for free. Bonuses and free or something, Qiang Yuanming doesn't care about strong talents, what he cares about is the reputation of a merry talent!

For the self-proclaimed man of letters, this reputation is very important. So Liu Ai, as well as Liang Shicheng, who can write a good hand, also have a full set of genuine "Oiran" albums like Qiang Yuanming, (people just appreciate it, and there is absolutely no other idea)...... And their lyrics have also been in the picture book! However, they didn't get a prize money, and they had to give a lot of money to the "Oiran" album.

Liu Ai saw Qiang Yuanming take the "Oiran" album, and said with a smile: "But this hook can't be done in our home shop." ”

"We can't do it? Why? ”

"This is the law of the ancestors," Liu Ai said, "I don't know if it's the edict of Taizu or Taizong." ”

Qiang Yuanming said with a smile: "The ancestors were not allowed to sell the original property of the store, and they were not allowed to operate new industries...... Liu Xianfeng, Zeng Xianggong means that if the official camp is also profitable, he will not take the land of Dutingyi to sing and sell, and give us the official camp of the store, and the capital will go into the official treasury, wouldn't it be better. ”

"Government camp?" Liu Ai frowned. He knew that Qiang Yuanming, the prisoner, was high, and no matter what happened, he didn't know much about the situation.

In fact, the government-run shops and residences began to be contracted internally as early as the Renzong Dynasty - including renting, repairing, and even the plants attached to the property, were all contracted to the officials. The reason for this is that no one was in charge of the houses managed by the shop before the contract was implemented, and by the time of the Injong Dynasty, the houses began to collapse in large numbers due to their old age...... There was no choice but to contract the business to individuals.

If it hadn't been contracted, there would have been no shop and house work by now, only land work - at least the land would not collapse!

If the shop and house affairs can really take over the property of Dutingyi, most of them still have to be contracted, and it is impossible for the government to completely control it.

"Okay!" Liu Ai's eyes rolled, and she had already calculated it, "It's still Zeng Xianggong's thoughtfulness, and this matter must be official." Otherwise, the gold and silver mountains will enter the private door and cannot be used by the state. ”

Qiang Yuanming nodded, stood up and said to Liu Ai: "Then I'll go and talk to Zeng Xianggong and take Du Tingyi over...... When the time comes, I will run it for you, but I can't make a mistake. ”

"No," Liu Ai patted her chest and promised, "there will never be any mistakes!" ”
