"We're hiring! We're hiring!"

"Young and able-bodied workers should be given priority!"

"Two meals a day, with meat at every meal, lodging provided, plus ten coins!"

...

A loud call to recruit workers echoed in Zhushikou, Beijing.

Before long, many people gathered around and began asking questions all at once.

"Hiring? What kind of work?"

"Would you like someone like me?"

“Me, me, me! I can carry over a hundred pounds of grain.”

...

The crowd was quite dense, with people rushing towards this side.

"Don't push, please line up!"

A young man shouted, "Those who disrupt the order will not be accepted! Those who want to register, stand at the back and line up to register!"

No loud noises allowed!

The voices of the young people also quieted down the crowd that had gathered around.

Everyone lined up spontaneously to register.

The young man, standing on higher ground, continued, "We are the Dongning Housing Construction Team. Since coming to Beijing, we've been developing real estate projects and have already bought several plots of land. We're now recruiting a large number of workers. Anyone with experience in kiln firing, brick firing, lime burning, and house building, come and line up here!"

Dongning Housing Construction Team?

What kind of organization is that?

Never mind!

A middle-aged man shook his head, thinking that as long as they came from Dongning, they would definitely not cheat them!

I also have experience building houses, so I switched to a different construction team.

There are far fewer people here, and registration is much faster.

Before long, names, ages, job types, and other information had been registered.

Wang Daikui also arrived at an empty area and waited.

Gradually, more and more workers registered around him, and these workers looked at each other.

Regardless, the provision of food and lodging was enough for them to establish themselves in this chaotic world.

Just then, a dozen men walked over from a distance. The man in the lead was not old, but he was surrounded by the crowd like a leader.

"His Majesty,"

Su Xin stood to the side and gestured, explaining, "This used to be the residence of some officials who fled south, but now no one lives here. These residences were all demolished and leveled in the last few days. According to the plan, a six-story building will be built here. Recruitment begins today, and it is expected to be completed by next autumn!"

"good!"

Li Xin nodded and said, "This building will be the cabinet building of our Great Gan Kingdom, where the cabinet will work. In addition, more than a dozen buildings will be built in this area to serve as office buildings for the various departments of the cabinet."

The original government office area will be taken back and used for other purposes!

Su Xin, your construction team did a fantastic job!

Do a good job!

"Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty!"

Su Xin quickly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the account books of the Dongning Housing Construction Team have also been handed over to Lord He."

"Oh, I've seen it."

Li Xin smiled and said, "The profit margin is very high, over 60%! And your Dongning construction team is expanding quite rapidly. I've also heard that you've even taken on the construction of residential areas in many prefectures and counties in Dongning and Liaodong?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Su Xin quickly bowed and replied, "This is all thanks to Your Majesty's great fortune!"

Li Xin smiled slightly.

Li Xin didn't pay much attention to the Dongning construction team; his main reason for coming this time was the construction of the Cabinet Building.

Moreover, the financial statements of the Dongning Housing Construction Team submitted by He Tongyuan yesterday showed excellent data!

The profit margin is a staggering 63%!

It's an incredibly profitable industry!

Most importantly, the houses built by the Dongning Housing Construction Team are in high demand but have no market. Every batch of houses sold out immediately when it went on sale.

In recent years, the people of Dongning have been exempt from taxes and have become more affluent. They also have extra money to buy houses and land in Dongning city.

Therefore, the profit margin of Dongning Housing Construction Team looks very good.

However, ordinary people are still ordinary people, and they are very frugal in their daily lives. In their spare time, they buy finished bricks, tiles, and cement from brick kilns and cement kilns to renovate their houses.

Therefore, after several years of development, the market for Dongning construction teams in Dongning has gradually become saturated.

Fortunately, the Dongning army expanded very quickly.

The Dongning construction team, following the expansion speed of the Dongning army, was able to enter Silla and Liaodong, and now it has come to the capital.

The capital city is a much larger market, so the style of houses naturally needs to change.

After returning to the Dongning Housing Construction Team, only Li Xin, Bai Fenglan, Su Xin, and a few others remained in the house.

Looking at the simple and unassuming office of the Dongning Housing Construction Team, Li Xin nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, the conditions are poor..."

Su Xin quickly expressed her apologies.

"It's alright, it's alright!"

Li Xin waved his hand and said with a smile, "Back when we were in Dongning, we encountered even more rudimentary conditions. Let alone this, it's nothing."

Bai Fenglan was somewhat gratified.

It's unexpected that Li Xin, who came from a poor background, hasn't forgotten his impoverished past. A person who always keeps the people in his heart is naturally more worthy of Bai Fenglan's emulation.

"Come, everyone, sit down."

After instructing the group to sit down, Li Xin looked at Su Xin and asked, "Su Xin, what are your plans for the future development of the Dongning Housing Construction Team?"

"His Majesty,"

Su Xin thought for a moment and said, "I've been considering this for a while. We'll continue to develop business in Dongning and Liaodong, but not as much. Most of our business will be around the industrial zone, providing accommodation for the workers. As for the rural residents, they all have their own small construction teams. In the future, I plan to focus on the capital!"

"It's a good thing to focus on the capital!"

Li Xin nodded and said, "It's very good that you think that way. However, you shouldn't just focus on the industrial zone. The skilled workers in the factories do earn a good income, but compared to businessmen, there's still a huge gap. Therefore, if you want to make big money, you need to focus on the commercial sector."

Where commerce is booming, housing prices are bound to be high. For example, in Beijing, areas like Liulichang, the Drum Tower, and the Bell Tower have high property prices, right?

Therefore, you should focus your attention on the business district!

"Your Majesty, do you mean we should purchase land from places like Liulichang and build houses?"

Su Xin asked, frowning.

"No."

Li Xin shook his head and said, "In mature commercial areas now, the cost of purchasing land and building houses is too high, and it's not worth it."

We can try a different approach.

For example, in the south of the city, there are many vacant areas, so the land acquisition cost is very low, right?

We can build it here.

"His Majesty,"

This made Su Xin even more confused. She said, "But the empty area in the south of the city is deserted and not a commercial area at all!"
