The officials who had been threatened by Zhao Minggeng had been keeping a close eye on the houses the emperor was building with public funds.
Now that it's built, how can we not be eager to come and visit?
We should finalize the deal and move in as soon as possible, otherwise it would be a waste of the tax-free land revenue they've given up.
On that day, about a dozen officials came to visit the house.
They were already very interested when they saw the model room.
The resentment towards losing the tax-free land instantly lessened considerably.
They were only thinking about being able to check in as soon as possible, and some had even started planning how to allocate the rooms.
There are two rooms downstairs; if you buy a servant, you can arrange for him to stay in one of them.
They haven't even gotten the house yet, and they're already thinking about ordering servants around. They're really ambitious.
After viewing the model apartments, they then went to see the completed houses available for selection.
There's still a noticeable difference between an empty house and one that's been renovated.
But thinking about it, I can let it go. I can afford to build a greenhouse on the third floor. I've never heard of anyone buying a house and getting furniture as a gift.
This house is just missing some furniture.
Buying a few pieces of furniture won't cost much.
Well, this cellar is quite nice; they habitually use their basements as cellars.
With candles lit inside, it's bright and airy. You can put rice, flour, oil, and other grains in there without worrying about them getting stolen.
Naturally, everyone knows this is a residential area for officials; how could anything possibly be stolen?
There are always some cunning people who wander around and take a liking to the house specially built for the emperor, insisting on going inside to take a look.
The security guards patrolling the neighborhood wouldn't dare open the gate.
This is something the higher-ups have instructed us to do; we can look at all the other houses, but not this one.
As a result, they made things difficult for them.
Finally, having no other choice, Xiaobing had to ask Zhao Minggeng for help.
When Zhao Minggeng arrived, he looked at the officials who wanted to force their way in with a half-smile.
"Liu Hanlin, although you have only been an official for a short time, you should know the saying that curiosity killed the cat."
You insisted on seeing the house they told you not to.
Do you know if you can bear the consequences of reading this?
Not to mention you gentlemen, even I, after the house was built and I handed over the keys, have never been inside to visit it again.
Do you guys still want to watch?
After Zhao Minggeng finished speaking, his eyes swept over the assembled officials.
Liu Hanlin felt he had been humiliated.
"Lord Zhao, wasn't it said that these houses were prepared for officials like us who don't own homes?"
Could it be that the people living in this house are special beings?
Zhao Minggeng was almost driven to tears by this person's stupidity. The advice was so obvious, yet this person was still stubbornly fixated on it.
"Who said these houses are all for you?"
We will also be selling these houses, so if you are interested, please make a decision quickly.
Whether to pay the fee five years later or pay a portion now is up to you, but this contract needs to be signed as soon as possible.
This location is great, the houses are well-built, the price is low, and there are soldiers patrolling inside and outside. It's much more cost-effective than hiring guards ourselves.
Gentlemen, have you already signed the contract and completed the formalities?
Move in early, warm up the house early. Don't be fooled by the 300-coin monthly management fee; it's absolutely worth it.
Zhao Minggeng didn't want to waste his time on useless things.
A crisis is inevitable; if we don't act now, the chance to get a free stay will be gone.
So those who didn't own property quickly went to complete the necessary procedures.
Even after the contract is signed, it still needs to be filed with the relevant authorities.
The process is the same as buying and selling a house normally, except that in private purchases, money must be paid in advance before the deed can be transferred, while here it is possible to transfer the deed without paying money in advance.
After all, the seller was the royal family, the imperial court.
Anyone who dares to skip out on their bill is asking for trouble.
