"Lord Zheng, our Tianxiang County invested a lot in the early stages. Haven't you thought about how to make it back?"
This one dock and two streets alone cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.
To be honest, Song Ning felt bad about spending all that money.
"There are quite a few of these shops. Besides those that were previously reserved, the rest can be sold to the people of Tianxiang County. When the shops open, not only will everyone have a livelihood, but the passenger ships coming and going can also stop here."
If we stop here, won't we make money?
"It is not advisable to gain something for nothing. A shop in Jiangning County now costs at least several dozen taels of silver. The people of Tianxiang County certainly cannot afford that much at once, but they can pay in installments."
This was the first time Zheng Gaoyi had heard this term: "How does the installment payment method work?"
"You can pay a deposit first, and then have them sign a written agreement specifying how long it will take to pay off the money and how much to pay at a time. For example, if a shop costs fifty taels of silver, you can pay ten taels as a deposit first. The remaining forty taels can be paid off in four months if you pay ten taels a month, or in eight months if you pay five taels a month."
The more Zheng Gaoyi listened, the more he felt that Song Ning was a genius.
How could someone come up with such a method!
In this way, most people can afford to buy a shop, and even the initial capital for decorating and opening a shop can be borrowed, which can be repaid slowly after making money.
This method is brilliant!
If the Ministry of Revenue had come up with this method a few years ago, there would be no need to worry about the national treasury being empty.
He couldn't help but feel regret again: "Er Ya, why aren't you a man? If you were a man, you would have served in both the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue, and our Jin Dynasty would have gained another good minister."
