The sales office for Qunxianfang was not located in Qunxianfang, but was arranged by Li Jue to be located in the West Market.

The reason is simple: there are more wealthy people in the West Market.

Although Li Jue had anticipated that the release would be a huge success, he was still shocked by the overwhelming response on the actual release day.

Looking at the vast crowd, Li Jue couldn't help but sigh.

Are there really that many rich people in Chang'an?

"Your Highness, the main problem is that your price is too low, which is why it's only two thousand strings of cash per set. If it were priced at three thousand strings of cash, I guarantee there would be half as many people left!"

"Two thousand strings of cash is cheap?"

"yes!"

"You have no idea how desperate these foreign merchants are to buy houses. Plus, our house is right next to the West Market, which is perfect for them to do business. You could ask them for three thousand strings of cash, and they wouldn't even blink!"

"I see..."

"Go tell Xue Yong to only sell fifty sets today, and keep the rest to sell at a higher price!"

"promise!"

As Li Jue was admiring the enthusiasm of the wealthy merchants of Chang'an, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, as if someone had grabbed him. He turned around nervously and saw Li Shimin's old face.

"Grandpa?"

"Didn't you say you would build houses for the people of Qunxianfang for free?"

"yes!"

"My grandson did it! He's finished building all their houses!"

"You...you seized half of their land..."

“I didn’t forcibly occupy it. This was agreed upon long ago. I will build houses for them for free, and the living area will be no less than the original houses. Then the remaining land will be mine!”

"you……"

Li Shimin hesitated for a long time, but couldn't bring himself to say anything to criticize him.

After all, what this guy said was true, and he did indeed build houses for the people for free.

But from Li Shimin's perspective, he always felt that this was done wrong, at the very least, the houses should not have been sold in such a high-profile manner!

Moreover, on his way here, he overheard many people discussing how to sell their houses at high prices and then use the money to buy cheaper houses outside the city.

Although Li Shimin did not understand the reasoning behind it, he was keenly aware that the people's profit-seeking behavior was inappropriate, at least not good for his empire!

"Cough cough!"

"Stop selling the house for now!"

Why?

"I say stop, and it stops!"

"Oh, I understand now, Grandpa wants the people to sell first, to make enough money before we talk about anything else!"

"Ordinary people are not allowed to sell either!"

"ah?"

"Grandpa, this decision you made on a whim is sure to make you very unpopular!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly upon hearing this.

"Hmph, besides you, my unfilial grandson, who in the world dares to hate me?"

Li Jue rolled his eyes upon hearing this, thinking to himself that he was too lazy to hate him, but Li Er's actions had cut off many people's source of income, and many people must be secretly cursing him.

Sure enough, when Xue Yong announced that the houses in Qunxianfang would not be sold to the public, the sales office immediately erupted in chaos.

"What!"

"You heartless merchants! You're not satisfied with just two thousand strings of cash for a mere courtyard house; you even want to raise the price!"

"Uncle, you've misunderstood. We don't want to raise prices; it's just that the imperial court has issued an order forbidding us from selling!"

"What kind of bullshit imperial decree is this?!"

"If you're so capable, produce the imperial decree. If you can't, you're just trying to raise prices!"

"I……"

Seeing the anger of these people, Xue Yong was on the verge of collapse, wondering what the eldest grandson of the emperor wanted and why he said the court wouldn't allow the sale...

If we don't give these people an explanation, they might smash up the store today!

Li Shimin did not expect that the reaction from these house buyers would be so great. He just did not want these people to be deceived. Who would have thought that these people would not only not appreciate it, but also curse his decree as bullshit!

Just as Li Shimin was feeling indignant, he heard Yuchi Jingde muttering something beside him.

"Your Majesty, aren't you just bored? Why won't you allow such a nice house to be sold?"

"I'm afraid you'll pay too high a price!"

"Your Majesty, don't you think about it? There are only so many houses in total. If we don't set a high price, even we rich people won't be able to buy one!"

"Unless His Majesty can give me a few sets, I will never attend court again!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin angrily cursed.

"Bullshit!"

"Don't try to threaten me with this, as if you always love going to court!"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde chuckled awkwardly.

"Your Majesty, if you were to bestow upon me five sets of these, I would love attending court from now on!"

"Five sets..."

"Grandpa, five sets would cost ten thousand strings of cash. Please think it over before you speak!"

Li Shimin shut up upon hearing this, after all, he had no grudge against money and would not give away 10,000 strings of cash for no reason.

Yuchi Jingde was furious and immediately grabbed Li Jue and shook him violently.

"Eldest grandson, I have treated you well, how could you betray me like this?! Aaaaaaah!"

Li Jue was almost shaken to pieces by Yuchi Jingde, but he wasn't angry at all.

Since everyone already knew about his reconstruction of Qunxianfang, if Yuchi Jingde wanted to take advantage of him, he could have come to him long ago to buy the house at a low price.

But Yuchi Jingde didn't, which shows that his master of the horse spear was very reliable, much more reliable than a certain old man who didn't want to reveal his name.

"Master, don't worry about the house. It's not like anyone else is without you!"

"I guarantee I'll only charge you the cost price!"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde shook his head and said...

"No, I never take advantage of others. I will give you whatever you owe. I can still afford to pay several thousand strings of cash!"
