Now that no one else is suitable, Zhu Youxiao can only find these three people, and only they can do this matter.
After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Qiyu and the other two understood what he meant. It was obvious that His Majesty was going to investigate the entire land around the capital to see if there was any excessive greed or occupation.
This kind of thing has always been a common occurrence. Occupying public land is a tacit understanding among everyone, especially among the nobles and their relatives.
"We understand." Chen Qiuyu and the other two quickly agreed.
"Not only will the homes of officials be investigated, but also those of the royal family, even temples and Taoist temples. Anyone who has encroached on land will be registered; anyone who has built a house without a land deed will also be registered. Once the investigation begins, not a single acre of land will be sold in Shuntian Prefecture."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Chen Qiuyu quickly agreed.
This matter itself is not too difficult, the difficulty lies in those officials and nobles. Once they are found, it is likely that there will be trouble. If they throw tantrums, it will be difficult to beat them up, and it will be difficult not to beat them up.
However, Chen Qiyu and the other two were not worried about this. They all knew the emperor's temper. Since Prince Fu's palace had been taken care of, there was no need to worry about these people from the capital.
Moreover, the new title was about to be announced, and the people of the capital were in a state of panic, so it was estimated that no one would step forward to cause trouble. This was a good opportunity.
"Okay, then you guys go ahead and do it." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.
Chen Qiyu and the other two bowed and said, "We will take our leave."
After saying this, the three of them retreated together.
Looking at the backs of the three people, Zhu Youxiao returned his gaze to the map with a satisfied expression on his face.
After this inventory, a lot of land will definitely be cleared. Of course, it's impossible to take those gardens. Those people can't build houses without land deeds.
However, Zhu Youxiao also thought of another thing: is it possible to classify the land?
Divided into commercial land, industrial land and agricultural land.
No houses are allowed to be built on any land used for farming.
Shops are only allowed to be built on commercial land.
Factories are only allowed to be built on industrial land.
As for residential land, that requires special approval. Prices vary, so you pay for what you want to do.
If you want to build a house, you have to buy residential land; if you want to build a shop, you have to buy shop land. With this division, you will definitely make a lot more money.
However, this policy cannot be rolled out overnight. If it is to be implemented, it must be implemented nationwide. If it is only implemented in Beijing, it is estimated that a land buying frenzy will be set off across the country.
Not only do I have to buy geothermal energy, but I also have to build a house. Doesn’t that go against my original intention?
Zhu Youxiao's original intention was to pocket the money himself, not to let these people take advantage of the opportunity to speculate and make money. Although he was very eager to do this, he still suppressed this idea.
Let's deal with these people first, and then we can make a lot of money after the new city is built.
Things should be done one by one, meals should be eaten bite by bite, and money should be earned bit by bit.
But there is one place that you can consider cleaning up.
Zhu Youxiao's gaze passed over the capital on the map and fell on an inconspicuous place called Zhangjiakou.
Zhangjiakou is probably the most prosperous place for smuggling now. There's a famous saying in later generations: "Going west." There should be signs of this happening now.
There are probably two routes to the west. One is to start from central and northern Shanxi, and the other is to go west, pass through Shahukou and enter the Mongolian grassland.
Another route goes east, passes Datong, and goes through Zhangjiakou to enter Mongolia.
The road to the west is not easy to travel now, with many checkpoints and a small population. On the contrary, Zhangjiakou is a very important place, which can connect the Ming Dynasty and the grassland.
The smuggling trade here is very developed. Food, ironware, and various tools can all be smuggled out of Zhangjiakou.
Zhu Youxiao stared at Zhangjiakou, recalling the past in his mind and pondering in his heart.
The reason he wanted to take action against Zhangjiakou was naturally not because of trade, but because of money.
Zhu Youxiao would be willing to engage in official trade with Mongolia if he could do so, but it is not possible for the time being and he will have to find a way later.
Before official trade can begin, those who made their fortunes through smuggling must also be dealt with. However, how and when to deal with them requires timing.
