"Yes, Your Majesty,"

Bai Fenglan also looked puzzled and said with some confusion, "This is somewhat contrary to what you just said about focusing on the commercial district!"

"Ha ha……"

Li Xin smiled and shook his head, looking at the two people in front of him, and said with a mysterious smile, "There is no commercial district in the south of the city now, will there be no commercial district in the future?"

"Um?"

Bai Fenglan was even more puzzled.

Su Xin was slightly taken aback and asked, "Your Majesty, are you saying you plan to build a commercial district in the south of the city?"

"No."

Li Xin waved his hand again and said, "The capital city is only so big, so I don't have the final say on where to build the commercial district. However, the construction of the railway in the capital city naturally cannot take up too many houses, so the planning of the capital station will be temporarily set in the southern part of the city."

When the station is built in the southern part of the city, passenger and freight traffic will increase. Wouldn't it then be a logical next step to build a commercial district there?

Besides, if there are no commercial districts in the area, why don't you build one yourselves?

As a businessman, you should know very well what conditions need to be met for merchants to return and for businesses to move in.

With convenient transportation and a good supply of goods, there's no need to worry about whether merchants will come!

After listening to Li Xin's words, Su Xin suddenly understood.

"Your Majesty, I understand!"

Su Xin nodded to himself and said, "The construction of the South City Railway Station will be handled by the Dongning Housing Construction Team, which will purchase the land and donate it to the Railway Construction Engineering Team free of charge."

In other areas, we can develop and build houses, shops, warehouses, etc., for rent or sale.

We're on the right track!

Li Xin shook his head with a wry smile.

This Su Xin is now taking advantage of the time difference and the era difference.

At that time, the people of Beijing did not know the importance of railways, nor did they know where the train station was located.

Su Xin had already received the news from Li Xin.

By obtaining information in advance and making plans ahead of time, one can naturally earn substantial profits!

It seems that this model is still the most profitable!

Fortunately, the huge profits earned by the Dongning Housing Construction Team will be transferred to the Ministry of Finance and Taxation as part of the imperial court's revenue.

Therefore, Li Xin tolerated this behavior.

This can be considered another form of state-owned enterprise!

Like Qingyu Trading Company, they both make money for the Great Gan Kingdom.

"good!"

Li Xin smiled and nodded, saying, "That's one way."

Another approach is to build commercial districts out of thin air on vacant land, using their superior conditions to attract merchants and businesses to move in.

For example, I built a commercial district in the east of the city, and I also built some wide roads and set up carriage shops and other facilities to facilitate trade for merchants and businesses. Merchants will find it convenient to stay here, so naturally they will also move in.

This construction method has a long construction period, but the financial returns are naturally very high!

Furthermore, we don't necessarily need to sell the shops; we can rent them out and sign lease agreements. As the commercial area becomes more prosperous, the rents will naturally increase!

"Your Majesty, you are truly brilliant!"

Su Xin couldn't help but give a thumbs up and exclaim in admiration.

He hadn't expected that His Majesty was so familiar with these matters.

He's a true genius!

Suddenly, Su Xin thought of another possibility and said, "Your Majesty, in that case, we can also extend this to the industrial zone. We can designate a piece of land, build supporting facilities for the industrial zone, attract factories and workshops to move in, and then build housing, shops, etc., which can still generate long-term profits."

"Yes, that works too!"

Li Xin smiled and nodded, saying, "Su Xin, you're not bad, you can apply what you've learned to other situations!"

Tongzhou, located in the eastern part of Beijing, boasts a superior transportation location. It is not only close to the Grand Canal but also a crucial point on the official road from Beijing to the south and beyond the Great Wall.

In my opinion, you should spend this time purchasing land near Tongzhou, preparing to simultaneously build a commercial and industrial zone.

This can be considered a contribution to the industrial development of the great nation!

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Su Xin quickly agreed.

Li Xin had actually made plans for industrial and commercial development long ago.

However, the court's finances are not currently in good shape, and the tax and financial plan entrusted to He Tongyuan has not yet been finalized, while expenditures are substantial.

Therefore, Li Xin entrusted the construction of industry and commerce to other capable individuals.

Li Xin even thought that some projects with long-term profits could raise funds by issuing bonds.

For example, the Tongzhou commercial district project fully utilizes social capital for its construction.

These projects require large investments and cannot be recouped in a short period of time, therefore the imperial court's funds cannot be invested in them.

It was precisely based on this consideration that Li Xin assigned the Dongning Housing Construction Team and Su Xin and others to promote the development and construction of the Tongzhou Commercial District and Tongzhou Industrial District.

We should make full use of all available funds for construction.

This is also of paramount importance for the future development of our great nation!

After all, only through construction can ordinary people live a better life!

Being well-fed and watered doesn't necessarily bring happiness!

Li Xin wanted more than just to ensure that the people had enough to eat and drink; he wanted them to live with greater dignity!

After Li Xin left, Su Xin also instructed the Dongning Housing Construction Team to continue recruiting a large number of workers.

Su Xin himself also headed towards Tongzhou.

He plans to personally visit the Tongzhou area to investigate the situation.

As Your Majesty said, Tongzhou is the eastern gateway to the capital, located on the banks of the Grand Canal, and is a vital passage for goods traveling between the north and south.

Even some grain warehouses and storage facilities were built near Tongzhou.

Tongzhou is also an important transportation hub.

In the future, once the railway is completed, it will inevitably pass through Tongzhou.

Therefore, making early plans for Tongzhou was a very wise choice.

Especially in recent years, due to the impact of war, many merchants from the vicinity of Tongzhou have fled. Some powerful families have also moved south, leaving the land barren and the land prices cheap.

It won't cost much to buy now.

After figuring this out, Su Xin called over the Dongning Housing Construction Team and instructed them: "You guys, take the funds and buy as much land as possible near Tongzhou, preferably in a contiguous area."

Remember, never force a sale!

You must always remember that we all come from Dongning, and His Majesty stands behind us!

We must consider not only the reputation of the Dongning Construction Team, but also His Majesty's reputation!

Do you understand?

"clear!"

The group quickly responded.

Subsequently, members of the Dongning Housing Construction Team began to purchase land and houses on a large scale throughout the Tongzhou area.

Besides Tongzhou, Dongning Construction Team is also hoarding land in the southern and eastern suburbs of Beijing.

These lands will also serve as stepping stones for the Dongning construction team to achieve future success!
