Looking at the stack of banknotes in his hand, Zhao Gongming showed an embarrassed expression on his face.
He seemed very resistant to accepting benefits, but the other party gave him too much.
In the end, Zhao Gongming put the banknotes into his arms, then nodded and said to the side: "Mr. Sun, let's go talk."
Sun Guangjin knew there must be a way. His eyes lit up immediately and he nodded hurriedly, saying, "Okay, okay, let's go over there! Oh, by the way, I'm hosting a banquet tonight, and I hope Lord Zhao will come."
Zhao Gongming waved his hand and said, "It's not too late to talk about this kind of thing later."
As they were talking, the two of them had already walked to a corner. Zhao Gongming nervously looked around, and after confirming that no one was around, he nodded to Sun Guangjin and said, "It's not impossible for me to reserve two places for you in advance. Anyway, according to the National Master's plan, after this magnificent city is built, some of the houses will definitely be sold."
Upon hearing this, Sun Guangjin felt relieved. He nodded excitedly and said, "That would be great. I wonder if I can choose one?"
"Well, theoretically it's possible, but..."
After hearing this, Zhao Gongming refused to continue. It was obvious that the following words might not be suitable for him to say.
Seeing this, Sun Guangjin hurriedly took out another stack of banknotes and stuffed them into Zhao Gongming's pocket, saying, "I hope Lord Zhao can help me find a way forward!"
Zhao Gongming looked at the banknote in his hand and nodded. "Alright, since Mr. Sun is so interested, I'll tell you more. Let's go over there and take a look around. I'll show you where there are houses for sale, and you can pick out a suitable one."
Sun Guangjin nodded frantically. He thought Zhao Gongming was a really good person.
Don't think that people are not good people just because they take money to do things. Having been in society for so many years, Sun Guangyi has seen all kinds of people, and he has seen too many people who take money but don't do their job.
Especially these officials, those who can get things done after taking money are already good officials.
Soon the two men came to the sand table again. Sun Guangyi pointed to the two houses in a very subtle way. Zhao Gongming on the side nodded to indicate that he understood.
At this time, someone said, "Master Zhao, building such a magnificent city wouldn't be easy, would it? How many years would it take?"
When Sun Guangjin heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He thought to himself, this is indeed a problem. Why didn’t he ask it clearly just now?
Seeing the others looking over curiously, Zhao Gongming chuckled and said calmly, "If someone else were to build such a magnificent city, it would take decades, or even more than ten years, to complete."
"But we are different. We have the Imperial Master and all his miraculous methods. Have you ever heard of Bazhou City? It was completely destroyed."
Everyone started whispering to each other when they heard this. They knew about the tragic situation of Bazhou City. They had sighed over how such a strong city was destroyed.
Seeing that everyone knew about the existence of Bazhou City, Zhao Gongming laughed and said, "But guess what, when the Imperial Master left Bazhou City, the new Bazhou City was almost completed."
Of course, this statement is exaggerated, but Zhao Gongming wanted to use this exaggerated expression to tell everyone that Quanzhou City is in their hands and can be built in a short time.
Upon hearing this, Sun Guangjin felt relieved.
But someone else said, "If we let Master Lu build it, the wages won't be cheap. After all, he's an immortal! If there's a problem with the funds, will the construction be impossible?"
"That's quite a point. The construction of the new city will require a lot of advanced technology, so it's indeed quite expensive. But don't worry, everyone. We already have a complete plan, so funding won't be a problem."
"Have you heard of the Quanzhou City Development Loan Company recently? In fact, the Imperial Master has already considered this issue. He plans to have the Central Bank allocate some funds and raise some from the public to complete the construction."
"Of course, the money raised from the public will definitely be paid at high interest. As you can see, as long as this magnificent city is built, the Imperial Master and the court will have no shortage of money, so the interest rate is very high."
Zhao Gongming's expression turned serious as he spoke, "This is more or less inside information. I hope you won't spread it around after you leave. Remember to keep it confidential."
Everyone nodded when they heard this, indicating that they had always kept their mouths shut.
But after this group of people turned around and left, all kinds of news began to spread all over Quanzhou City.
There are two main pieces of news: the brand new Quanzhou city looks really amazing.
There must have been a lot of money needed when Quanzhou City was built, and this is indeed a good project.
Moreover, this project also involves the central bank’s money. Even if there is a loss, we all lose together. What is there to be afraid of?
So from that day on, some people went to the loan company to inquire about saving money.
Then the news of the high interest rates offered by the lending company spread throughout Quanzhou City.
The next morning, the lending company was so busy that the door was about to be broken down by the crazy people.
Just as Lu Chen said, there are actually not many investment channels for the lower classes.
Not to mention the happiness of the people in the Great Qi Dynasty, even in later generations, the people did not have many investment channels, otherwise why would they fight so hard with certain things.
Now they have found a way to make a profit, with good projects and the endorsement of the central bank, so what are they waiting for?
Not to mention ordinary people, even the businessmen who were previously eliminated from the land sale may have started to think about it.
They'd looked at the interest rates, and they knew they were incredibly high. If they were to start their own business, they'd work tirelessly all year, living on the road, exposed to the elements, and potentially encounter danger, and still earn little more than that. So why bother? Wouldn't it be better to just deposit all their money with a loan company?
This side receives people who want to deposit money, while the other side is responsible for receiving people who want to borrow money.
Those who need to borrow money are naturally those businessmen who plan to continue to drive up housing prices.
In their opinion, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Those businessmen who leave early and deposit their money here will never achieve anything great in their lives.
This is a once-in-a-century opportunity, and it would be a shame not to give it a try.
The people in Quanzhou City never imagined that their money was constantly circulating in this game and was completely idle.
What's more, they have been secretly eyeing their capital!
