Yun Dai briefed Zhao Yuan about the concept of buying and selling land and housing prices.

Zhao Yuan didn't care at first, but gradually, his expression became serious.

After hearing this, he raised his own question: "If the experiment starts from the capital, I can take back the land and build a house in a unified manner, but... what if the house prices are directly raised, what should the people cannot afford it?"

"Your Majesty, if you want to demolish the house, you can't demolish it for nothing. If you can't do that, you will be scolded." Yun Dai smiled and said, "We can compensate the people, that is, they will compensate them for the demolition payment based on the house area."

"Can this still happen?"

"Yes."

"This requires a lot of money." Zhao Yuan said, "I'm not afraid of you making fun of it. I'm afraid that the treasury money cannot support this."

Yun Dai said, "There is no need for the court to pay. Emperor, do you know who is the richest person in our Great Zhou Dynasty?"

"Princes and nobles? Corrupt officials?"

"Haha, corrupt officials... that's really rich." Yun Dai couldn't help laughing, "But corrupt officials wouldn't say they were corrupt officials themselves, and it would be hard to investigate one by one. I mean, the richest people are the big salt merchants in Jiangnan."

Zhao Yuan said: "This is, although officials have power, the real wealth belongs to those big businessmen."

"That's right." Yun Dai said, "they are too rich. But no matter how rich they are, they are just businessmen. They will never be as good as scholars."

"Everything is inferior, but only high schooling is the best. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce are ranked last."

"So, if they have money, they must also want status. Otherwise, how could a business like buying an official have been bred?" Yun Dai smiled, "Why don't we satisfy their wishes now?"

“How to satisfy?”

"Just... set up another department, such as the Land and Resources Bureau, which specializes in auctioning land. If the person who gets the land is given a certified official identity, he can carry out demolition and build a house." Yun Dai said, "This is just a very rough idea. The specific details have to be discussed slowly."

Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "What's the difference between you and asking them to spend money to buy an official?"

"There are still differences." Yun Dai smiled, "It's so open and upright. Unlike before, buying an official, it's a bit embarrassing to say it out. Besides, this is a business that makes money, and the money invested can benefit several times. With both money and status, why not do it?"

"Not bad." Zhao Yuan nodded, "This method should be feasible. As for whether you can make money..."

"You can definitely make money, and it's a big profit." Yun Dai smiled.

This is not a fabrication of it, but a successful experience that has been practiced by countless people.

"But, who will I sell the newly built house to?" Zhao Yuan still had questions.

"Of course, the wealthy businessmen who want to settle in Beijing from other places also need people who want to get close to a good college locally." Yun Dai smiled, "This is the use of school district housing. Currently, there are several famous private schools in Beijing. The emperor has ordered them to be accepted as officials and not allowed to run private schools. Those who want to enter school should follow the principle of proximity and set aside the school district housing. You must buy nearby prescriptions to enter the school. Do you think they want to buy a house?"

Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment and nodded: "I want to buy it."
